Chapter 313: Fighting Heavenly King Wins Seven Stars
I thought about it carefully. Hong Xiuquan is just a remnant soul. Since it is a remnant soul, it is worse than a ghost and can be easily consumed. What supports his remnant soul to have such huge demonic energy?
I remember that when Taohong and Mr. Feng had only the remnants of their souls left behind, they were both dying and almost lost their souls.
Since Hong Xiuquan's remnant soul can stay, there is naturally a special method to maintain the existence of his remnant soul.
This must be maintained with the help of external tools and blessings from external objects.
And this is not difficult to judge, because he rarely makes moves, no matter how powerful his moves are, this shows that after a hundred years, this kind of external weapon has been worn away so much that his remaining soul is not so stable.
Otherwise, given his character, if the three of us provoked him like this, he would have been killed long ago. Why would we stand there and force each other deliberately?
But what exactly is this foreign object?
"Is this all you have?" The stone statue of Hong Xiuquan stood proudly in the hall, with a sarcastic laugh coming from the mottled stone body.
"I really can't stand this bird. I'll fight with him..."
As soon as Jin Taibao touched the blood on the door, golden light flashed in his hand, and the air around him suddenly became manic.
I took a look and found that this kid had a vague tendency to summon golden thunder. With his current level of cultivation at the Zangfeng realm, if he forcefully summoned the thunder, he would undoubtedly be seeking death.
I suffered this loss last time and almost died.
He had too much self-esteem and regarded his dignity and face as more important than his life. He was tortured by Hong Xiuquan and felt very unhappy.
"No need for Taibao!" I quickly stretched out my hand to hold him down.
"I think I have found his destiny." I said in a low voice.
In the hall, all the guard statues have been destroyed, and those chairs, plaques, etc. do not contain any energy, so they should not be objects that bless the remaining souls.
Where is the thing that charges Hong Xiuquan's soul?
He always stands in that position, provoking and sarcastic. Is it related to that position?
My eyes fell on his feet. There was no mystery at his feet. We came up from the third floor. The third floor was not fortified at all, so it shouldn't have come from below.
Above the head, fifth floor!
I was afraid that he would be alert, so I didn't dare to look directly above. I just glanced slightly. Sure enough, there was a pattern on the top opposite to him, and the pattern was emitting bursts of black light.
Because I only saw it with my eyes, I didn’t see it clearly, but if I guessed correctly, Hong Xiuquan relied on that pattern to maintain his remaining soul.
"Taobao, old horse, get on!" I roared angrily, and the three of them ejected towards Hong Xiuquan at the same time.
Hong Xiuquan calmed down and let out a weird laugh. Demonic fire surged around his body, and two black fire-shaped sword auras greeted the two golden horses.
Naturally, the two golden horses were no match for him, and they tried their best to block his sword energy. "Shout!" Hong Xiuquan turned his palms over, and a wave of flames with a layer of black energy surged out instantly like a tidal wave.
"Damn!" Ma Tiexin and Jin Taibao couldn't block it. Their strength was not of the same level at all. They were both shocked and flew several meters away.
However, their restraint gave me the opportunity and time, and I finally saw clearly that the pattern was the same as the image on the door leading to the fifth floor, a God wearing a monk's robe.
The pattern of black light flashes continuously, containing huge evil energy. It is the statue of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that allows the remnant soul of Hong Xiuquan to still maintain its residual power.
As long as this pattern is broken, the remaining soul will be destroyed.
"break!"
I didn't attack Hong Xiuquan directly, but I jumped up, gathered the energy of both hands into a huge thunder ball, and blasted it with thunderous force.
boom!
The huge thunderball exploded with enough power to blast through the entire floor, and the pattern was no exception, turning into pieces amid the explosion!
"This time, let me see how arrogant you are." As soon as the statue was destroyed, Hong Xiuquan realized that something was wrong. Without the blessing of the statue, his remnant soul that should have dissipated a hundred years ago finally became weak, and the demonic fire on his body instantly
extinguished.
"No, no, God will not abandon our people." A painful shout came from the stone sculpture.
"Here, I am God, and I will punish you in the name of God!"
I used my volley move, Bu Lao, to hit the top of the stone sculpture's head with just one finger, hitting the position of the Tianling Cap, and the powerful water element poured into it like flowing water.
"Ziz!"
Cracks appeared on the stone statue, and with a bang, it collapsed and shattered. Hong Xiuquan's remnant soul let out an unwilling scream, and dissipated in the air.
"Squeak!"
Once the statue is broken, the door to the fifth floor will be opened.
It seems that these two statues not only have the function of blessing the remnant souls, but also serve as a mysterious communication mechanism.
Huh! Looking at the stone chips on the ground, I let out a long sigh of relief, "Old Qin, it's so itchy. How did you know this secret?" Ma Tiexin asked.
I smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not blind. Fortunately, I guessed it right."
"Let's go."
When we arrived at the door of the fifth floor, the hearts of the three of us jumped with excitement. Maybe the legendary seven-star lantern is here.
The seven-star lantern is one of Zhuge Liang's four great artifacts. In the past, in order to seek longevity, Marquis Wu took out the seven-star lantern and formed a magic circle along with seven or forty-nine ever-bright lanterns in an attempt to prolong life and protect the Kingdom of Shu.
Since this object has the magical power to prolong life and was later acquired by Hong Xiuquan and helped him dominate the world, it can be said to be the most famous among the artifacts.
Entering the fifth floor, the space inside is not very large. There is a strange lamp burning with black flames, burning quietly and glowing with evil light.
The lamp is enshrined on a altar, and the black talisman paper underneath is inexplicably weird.
"Old Ma, is this a seven-star lantern?" Jin Taibao asked, looking around cautiously.
Ma Tiexin nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Seven Star Lantern."
However, there was no joy in his expression. On the contrary, there was a feeling of loss and helplessness.
"Actually, this is the first time I have seen the seven-star lantern. Since the old master transferred it to Yan Aotian, no one in the entire Ma family has seen this lantern again. Judging from the drawings in my impression, it should look like this."
Tie Xin said.
The fifth floor is already the top of the tower. The top of the tower points straight into the sky like a sharp needle. The hostility and murderous energy in the desert are being absorbed by the light from the top of the tower.
But I saw the seven-star lantern, surrounded by black lotus leaf-shaped objects, and underneath was a three-dimensional bagua-shaped container.
The body of the lamp is engraved with runes, and the wick is the lotus petals arranged according to the position of the Big Dipper, burning seven small fire points, each fire point is shining with a black flame.
"Didn't you say that the former evil king Yan Aotian was in the Tower of Babel? Why can't you even see a ghost?" Jin Taibao warned.
I glanced around, and there was indeed no one there, so I slowly walked towards the Seven-Star Lantern. When I got to the altar, I looked at the talisman paper on it and saw that there were still some that had not finished drawing the talisman seals. "Yan Aotian is no longer here."
Tower of Babel, you see, the ink has dried into hard lumps, and the talisman pen is also frozen, which means that no one has been here for at least half a month, and you can see this unfinished talisman, the talisman pen is hurried, far less than before
The talisman came steadily, which means that the people here left in a hurry due to some things."
"Why did Yan Aotian leave in such a hurry? He didn't even care about the seven-star lantern." Jin Taibao frowned.
"Who knows, it's hard for us to figure out the thoughts of these old guys. I'm more curious about this seven-star lamp. How can the artifact be so evil?" I dragged my chin and looked at the burning lamp thoughtfully.
.
Ma Tiexin sighed and said: "The seven-star lantern is indeed like this. In the past, Zhuge Liang exhausted his energy in the battle between Yin and Yang, so he wanted to rely on the seven-star lantern to seek longevity. He never thought that his wish for longevity would be revealed.
As soon as there was a rumor, Wei Yan, who was possessed by an evil spirit, broke in and broke the formation. Wei Yan also snatched the seven-star lantern and stirred up trouble for a while."
After a pause, Ma Tiexin continued: "Later, my ancestor Ma Dai, following the orders of Marquis Wu, killed Wei Yan, and Wei Yan took back the seven-star lantern. After he took it back, it was like this. Maybe it was because of this.
The lamp must be contaminated with evil spirit."
"Well, you must know that the seven-star lantern is called an ominous object, and it is a curse among the four great artifacts. Wuhou, Wei Yan, and Hong Xiuquan, all those who used it, died tragically in the end, so Mr. Ma knew this secret back then.
Then the Seven Star Lantern was transferred to Yan Aotian, so that the Ma family could cut off their relationship with the Seven Stars." Jin Taibao said.
"That's right, I think your grandpa thinks so too. Should I take it or not?" Ma Tiexin asked.
"Take it!" I said without hesitation.
The divine weapon must be held in hand. This is what Guan Shen and Zhong Tianshi have warned many times, because the underworld eye of the underworld is loose. If the divine weapon does not appear in the world, it may not be able to resist the evil spirits, and the King of Wei is also ready to take action.
Well, without the artifact, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress these powerful characters.
"Brother Qin, you have forgotten that my sister-in-law once said that you will be cursed if you take the seven-star lantern." Ma Tiexin reminded carefully.
"I believe there is a reason why the artifact became like this. As long as we can purify its demonic energy and restore its spirituality, it will naturally be beneficial." I thought for a while.
"Who is so capable that he can consecrate and bless the artifact?" Ma Tiexin asked, and Jin Taibao also had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Don't worry, it will happen." I smiled and said.
As I said that, I walked over to the Seven-Star Lamp. Its flame kept burning. I shook it slightly. The gossip underneath was filled with black energy without substance. This shows that the Seven-Star Lamp burned gas, evil energy.
, demonic energy.
If the evil spirit in the Eight Diagrams underneath it can be driven away and the righteous energy of heaven can exist, it will surely be able to exert its righteousness effect.
"Stop talking, let's get rid of it first." I tried to move it. The seven-star lamp was not too heavy, but the flame could not be extinguished for a while.
After thinking about it, I had no other choice but to hold it in my hands and find a way to get it back.
Overall, this trip to the Tower of Babel was a success. Not only did I gain a lot of treasures, but I also found an artifact. In this way, I had two artifacts in my hand.
The three of them protected the seven-star lantern and slowly went downstairs. As soon as they walked out of the Tower of Babel, the black energy on the lamp suddenly became strong. The seven lights condensed into a ball, forming a spiral of black energy that shot straight into the bullfighting sky.
