Although Chen Ziyun's senses were sharp while walking in the mist, half an hour later, he also found that he had lost the ability to judge the direction of the surroundings and could not tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
Fortunately, Zen Seventeen was in front of him, so Chen Ziyun did not feel worried. Just walking in the Evernight Forest, which was as quiet as dead, Chen Ziyun's spirit felt some invisible pressure. However, Chen Ziyun, who had spent a night in the Evernight Forest, was so
A little mental pressure was nothing. Moreover, he soon found a way to relieve his mental pressure, which was to carefully identify the ancient charming faces emerging from the clouds.
This is a very meaningful thing. The information revealed from the depths of consciousness shows that all the ancient charms that appear in this place are basically transformed from the souls of humans who died in this place. Most of their appearances are similar to
They were consistent during his lifetime. This gave Chen Ziyun an opportunity to study the humans who once appeared in Jade City. He very much hoped that among the phantoms he saw, he could find faces that matched the jade figurines he had seen before.
However, what disappointed Chen Ziyun was that most of the faces he saw were normal human faces. But Chen Ziyun still gained something, because the human faces in each region were different. In less than an hour,
, he has discovered at least seven or eight regional faces. In addition to the common plateau face shapes, there are also standard Central Plains people's faces. Most of them are both, but there are also people from the South Asian subcontinent with brown skin, and there are also people from Central Asia with high cheekbones.
Chen Ziyun was greatly surprised by the West Asian race. He learned more about Yucheng.
It can be seen from these ancient charms that Jade City is not only a stage for people from the Central Plains and Plateau, but also has a certain degree of radiation in Central Asia, South Asia and other regions, and has a wide range of influence.
Of course, Chen Ziyun can imagine more. Bon religion is not just a sect unique to the plateau. It has also been spread in Central and Western Asia. Among other things, Tibetan Buddhism, which has inherited many religious rituals of Bon religion, has many rituals.
It is similar to the sacrificial methods of some ancient religions in Central and West Asia, such as Zoroastrianism.
From these faces, Chen Ziyun couldn't help but think of some legends about the former owners of Jade City, the Shang Shung Dynasty. It is said that in its heyday, the Shang Shung Dynasty reached Central Asia and West Asia. The state religion of the Shang Shung Dynasty was
Bon religion, so it is also possible that the power of Bon religion once reached West Asia. This not only explains the appearance of these foreign faces in Jade City, but also explains why Tibetan Buddhism and some similar sacrificial rituals of other religions.
After about an hour or so, the surrounding fog gradually dispersed. The shadows of those ancient charms also began to dissipate invisible. Chan Shiqi then waved his hand to make Chen Ziyun stop.
"Don't speak when you encounter the Ancient Charming Yin Soldiers." Zen Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Here, although their attack power is not strong, they are difficult to deal with. And if they are branded by them and enter Jade City, then
It will be a big trouble." Zen Shiqi's tone was very gentle.
Chen Ziyun nodded in agreement. Listening to Chan Shiqi's words, some confusing noun meanings quickly appeared in his mind.
The so-called imprint of ancient charms is actually being infected by the aura of ancient charms. As long as one is glanced at by these ancient charms, they will firmly remember this person and can be found at any time as long as they are where they are.
And what surprised Chen Ziyun was that Gu Mei was a pure spiritual force outside Jade City, but inside Jade City, they were no different from ordinary people. The only thing that was different from human beings was that they were not like
They have the same thinking ability as humans, but are more destructive than humans.
Suddenly, Chen Ziyun's heart sank. After a while, he let out a deep breath and said with some worry: "I'm in trouble. I seem to have been branded by them." He suddenly remembered that he accidentally said something before.
After saying that, he was glanced at by those ancient charms, and a chill flashed down his spine.
Zen Shiqi was slightly startled, then signaled Chen Ziyun to stretch out his left arm and rub it vigorously. After a while, a light gray circle appeared on Chen Ziyun's arm.
Seeing this trace, Zen Shiqi was startled again, and after a while he said: "You are wrong, what you encountered is not trouble...but a disaster."
"How do you say that?" Chen Ziyun's heart trembled when he heard Chan Shiqi's solemn tone.
Zen Shiqi shook his head and said: "Your identity as a dragon guardian has been noticed by Yucheng. As long as you step into Yucheng, countless dangers will come to you."
"Yucheng?" Chen Ziyun expressed strong confusion about Chan Shiqi's words.
"Do you still think that this jade city is just made up of a pile of cold ores?" Chan Qiqi's voice became more solemn: "I have been exploring this jade city for a long time, and I have gone in several times and explored it.
Some patterns have emerged. I feel more and more that this jade city is alive. It can detect everyone who comes here, and can judge people's wishes and create targeted traps."
Chen Ziyun's brows wrinkled unconsciously, and he felt uneasy for no reason.
Zen Shiqi smiled lightly again and said: "Don't worry, if it's just those ancient charms, there's nothing to worry about."
However, Chen Ziyun heard something else. He took a deep breath and said, "There are many dangers inside?"
"Of course." Zen Shiqi said with some lingering fear in his voice: "Otherwise I would have gone back and forth several times in vain. If it weren't for the black bird statue you have with you, I wouldn't bother to come again."
The black bird statue, the black bird statue again! Chen Ziyun suppressed his curiosity, fearing that he would get excited, and Zen Shiqi let him explore slowly by himself. He asked calmly: "With the black bird statue, what can you do?"
What, there is already one inside my body, I can’t take it out.”
Chan Shiqi glanced at Chen Ziyun, smiled lightly at Chen Ziyun's little trick, and said, "Actually, you already know the function of the black bird, why bother asking me?"
"Power?" Chen Ziyun asked without giving up. He remembered the mysterious voice, and the black bird was the mark of the reaper. After fusion, it can explode with amazing power in times of crisis. But the life force consumed is also unacceptable.
"This is just one of them." Zen Shiqi said: "The most important thing is that it is a key. It can open the most mysterious place in Jade City." When Zen Shiqi said this, he was slightly absent-minded.
After a while, he said: "It is said that people who go in there can get everything they want, but when they come out, they can bring disasters that destroy everything, so it is called the door of hope and destruction."
