Liu Qinghuan's expression was stern, and his eyes suddenly turned to the center of the lake: "Who? Come out!"
The voice disappeared again, as if it had never appeared.
The eerie wind blew by, and the lake seemed to be frozen, so calm that there was no ripple.
The powerful spiritual consciousness swept across the vast hills and forests around the lake, and only a few monsters with hideous faces were hiding in the darkness. After being discovered, they whimpered and ran away with their tails between their legs.
Then it can only be coming from under the lake. However, I don’t know what kind of water this lake is. When my spiritual consciousness probes into it, it is like exploring into endless darkness. The further down, the greater the resistance. It seems that there is something The thing was resisting his prying eyes.
"Interesting..." Liu Qinghuan touched his chin. With the strength of his consciousness, he couldn't find out how deep the lake was. It had to be said that it was very strange.
Moreover, what does "you come again" mean?
He didn't remember that he had been here before. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go down to the lake to see what kind of "you're here again".
The lake water was bone-chilling and had a strange viscous feel. It was filled with demonic energy and turned pitch-black in color. There was a gurgling sound coming from the water, which was so hollow that it even had a bit of an echo.
Liu Qinghuan released the protective shield, blocking the lake water three feet away, and slowly dived down. Gradually, a faint light emerged from the darkness.
Layers of white ashlar are built into steps along the lake wall. Each piece is carved with interlocking circular patterns. Fuzzy inscriptions are scattered around the patterns, giving off a very ancient and vicissitudes of artistic conception. Passed out without any place.
Liu Qinghuan was confused for a moment, feeling familiar as if he had seen such a scene somewhere before. Looking through his memory, he suddenly remembered: Isn't this the ancient altar under the big lake of the Taiyin Youying family?
Many years ago, he accepted the mission of the Yunmengze Immortal Cultivation Alliance and was sent to the Yin Yue Blood Realm to find the Innate Ghost Peach Tree. On the way, he met the Bu family brothers and sisters, and then followed them into the Taiyin Youying family. An ancient altar was discovered under the Great Lake.
If he remembered correctly, there was a square altar below, with four ferocious stone sculptures of ferocious beasts standing on it. One of them had a very bad temper and refused to let him accept the inheritance because of his insufficient cultivation.
Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but clicked his tongue: He didn't expect that after hundreds of years, he would be lucky enough to see this strange ancient altar again.
A trace of curiosity arose in my heart. Back then, the stone carving mentioned the word "inheritance". As for what inheritance it was, the other party didn't reveal anything about it.
As the stone steps went down step by step, the altar appeared, and Liu Qinghuan was floating in the sky. As expected, the stone sculptures were still standing there, as if they had not even changed their prone postures, and in the middle was An empty high platform.
"Are they all empty-class golems?"
Liu Qinghuan was slightly surprised. At that time, he was just a young monk in the Golden Core stage, so his eyesight was extremely limited. He only felt that these stone sculptures were vivid and powerful, but he could not tell how high their grade was.
From this point of view, he was indeed not qualified to receive the inheritance back then.
"Kakaka!"
This time it was the stone sculpture with two faces that moved first, and a long-lost roar rang in my ears: "Boy, it's you again! Come here, I will beat you to death this time!"
The snake-shaped stone sculpture opposite him also came to life. The huge and ferocious snake head on its upper body turned around, but its lower body was a human body. It took two steps towards this side, and its voice was much gentler.
"Are you here to accept the inheritance? Well, your cultivation has reached the Yang Reality Realm, and you are qualified to enter the trial."
Liu Qinghuan frowned. He was a pure Taoist cultivator when he visited this altar, but now he still has the appearance of a businessman, and his aura is the same as that of an ordinary demon cultivator. Even the Mahayana monks can't see through the Danxia of the Third Master of Taiyi.
With his disguise, how did the two stone sculptures recognize him?
"Have you mistakenly admitted the wrong person? This is my first time here and I don't recognize you two."
"Hahaha!" the grumpy stone sculpture laughed wildly: "Boy, I can smell you from eight hundred miles away, keep pretending!"
The snake-shaped stone carving said: "Years ago, in a small world called the Yin Yue Blood Realm, you once entered my land by mistake, but?"
I really recognized it!
Liu Qinghuan carefully looked at these two mysterious stone sculptures, but could not figure out why. It is difficult to tell what abilities the puppets and golems have from their appearance.
He had no choice but to keep his doubts in his mind for the time being, and he landed on the edge of the altar. He smiled and said without denying, "Two of you, long time no see."
Then he looked at the other two standing stone sculptures and asked, "These two dear brothers, why have I never seen them move?"
"Who are you, why do you expect all of us to line up to welcome you!"
The grumpy stone sculpture roared angrily, stomping towards him, making a loud noise with every step that made the entire stone platform tremble.
The serpentine stone sculpture stopped him and persuaded him: "Yanhou, please tell me what you have to say. Have you forgotten our responsibilities?"
Then he turned to Liu Qinghuan and said: "If you want to accept the inheritance, you only need to choose one of the four of us to challenge. After winning, you can enter the inheritance place."
Liu Qinghuan was a little surprised that it was so easy to enter? Are the conditions for entry too simple?
He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and asked cautiously: "I don't know what your inheritance is specifically, but I hope you can tell me something first."
The snake-shaped stone sculpture laughed with unknown meaning and said: "My master has made a rule that before entering the inheritance place, not even half of the situation inside can be revealed. So if you want to know, you can only go in and find the answer yourself."
Liu Qinghuan said in surprise: "Can it still be like this? I don't even know what the inheritance is, so how can I dare to enter it rashly? What if your so-called inheritance is not suitable for the way I practice?"
"Then you can get out now!" The stone sculpture named Yanhou yelled: "Do you still need us to beg you? There are many people who want to inherit the inheritance, and you are not missing!"
Liu Qinghuan's heart moved, and he glanced at the entire altar, and said lightly: "Not necessarily, you must have been around for a long time, and you still appear on all major interfaces, aren't you looking for a suitable successor?"
As soon as these words came out, Yanhou became as motionless as Dingzhu.
After a moment of silence, the snake-shaped stone sculpture said: "Yes, we are indeed looking for a suitable candidate, but whether he is suitable or not can only be judged after entering the inheritance place. Therefore, it is true that the four brothers who have found us over the years are not suitable.
Few, as long as their cultivation reaches the standard, everyone can challenge one of us."
Liu Qinghuan was even more surprised and asked: "What will happen if it is not suitable and enters the inheritance place again?"
The serpentine stone sculpture said in a cold voice: "You will die."
