On the central altar table stood a cauldron of incense, two tablets, and some tribute fruits.
Behind the temple is a big black river! The river is filled with black gas and is extremely turbid.
Looking from a distance, there are several blood lotuses floating on the river, emitting a dazzling blood light, vaguely illuminating the scene around the lake. There are actually a large number of corpses floating on the river!
However, those bones were not human monks, but some powerful races, including the skeleton of an unknown giant ape, the skeleton of a huge roc, and even the skeleton of a true spirit unicorn!
What Shen Lang saw with his spiritual vision was just the tip of the iceberg. There were countless white bones floating in the black river, each different from the other.
The entire black river exudes a monstrous aura of death, giving people an indescribable feeling of sadness and desolation!
"The skeleton of the true spirit?"
Shen Lang was shocked beyond measure.
Ahead is the end of the Ice and Fire Road. As for the black river behind the temple, it is the fifth dangerous place!
These are not the key points. The key point is that the black river is very similar to the Styx River, and the black aura floating in the distance is the same as the Styx River.
The pendant of the Goddess' Blood hung around Shen Lang's neck, which was not affected by the aura. If it were not for the protection of the Goddess' Blood, his body would be corroded by the aura.
Shen Lang was ecstatic in his heart. If the fifth dangerous place was similar to the River Styx, he could rely on the blood of the goddess to cross the black river and reach the cemetery where the goddess was buried.
Ignoring the fifth dangerous spot for the time being, Shen Lang turned his attention to the temple in front of him.
He cautiously walked towards the temple at the end of the ice field.
Shen Lang did not dare to break into the temple directly. Instead, he used spiritual eyes to observe from a thousand meters away from the temple and discovered some clues.
There are two coffins enshrined in the temple. The cover of one coffin has been opened and there is nothing inside. The other coffin is still sealed.
This can't help but make Shen Lang extremely vigilant. Since one of the coffins is empty, it means that the body in one of the coffins should have come out.
Shen Lang immediately thought of the rotting corpse he encountered just now. Could it be that the rotting corpse just escaped from the coffin?
After thinking about it carefully, Shen Lang felt that it was impossible. There was a specially built temple in the tomb of the goddess, and there were also memorial tablets placed there. There should be a very important person in the coffin!
From Shen Lang's perspective, although the rotting corpse was powerful, it definitely could not reach that level.
There were no words on the tablets on the altar table, and Shen Lang had no way of knowing what was lying in the two coffins.
In addition to the coffin and the memorial tablet, there are two offering fruits on the offering table, like peach-shaped white fruits, emitting brilliant spiritual light!
Thousands of meters away, Shen Lang could smell the aroma of the two fruits on the altar table.
The aroma is very special, sometimes rich, sometimes elegant, sometimes sweet...
Shen Lang only took a sip and felt light and airy all over his body, as if he was in the clouds. He felt so comfortable that it was indescribable.
This fruit not only contains amazing spiritual power, but also seems to contain some mysterious power.
Shen Lang was ignorant and did not know the name of this offering fruit, but he instinctively felt that this fruit was extremely heaven-defying and could not be compared with ordinary heaven and earth spiritual fruits!
Although the heaven-defying spiritual fruit was right in front of him, Shen Lang still didn't step forward.
He never believed in pie falling from the sky. How could such a good thing happen if a heaven-defying spiritual fruit is placed in front of you for you to take? There must be position risks in the temple. If it falls into the hands of the ban, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
After a fierce ideological struggle, Shen Lang finally decided not to take the risk. The only thing he wanted was the Central Wu earth apricot yellow flag, so there was no need to be greedy for more.
Shen Lang bypassed the temple and prepared to enter the fifth dangerous area directly.
Unexpectedly, behind the temple, the entrance to the fifth dangerous place was sealed by a mysterious restriction, and layers of black light shrouded the entrance tightly.
"Tsk, there is such a strong seal restriction at the entrance!"
Shen Lang smacked his lips, and immediately used the Pure Yang Sword Technique, and quickly formed the residual light sword formation, preparing to use the sword formation to forcefully break the restriction.
But just at this moment, a female voice like a silver bell suddenly sounded in Shen Lang's ears.
"Junior, you are finally here. This saint is impatient to wait. Seeing that you did not touch the temple's tablets and coffin, I will spare your life!"
"who?"
The sudden sound shocked Shen Lang. He turned around suddenly, only to find that there was no one there.
No! Shen Lang's eyes were locked on the closed coffin in the temple, and the sound seemed to come from the coffin.
"Your Excellency... who is your Excellency?" Shen Lang asked tentatively with cold sweat on his forehead.
"Despicable immortal cultivators don't deserve to know the name of this holy lady." The cold voice came from the coffin again, and the tone seemed condescending, making people shudder.
Shen Lang was shocked and said in a panic: "Ji... I didn't mean any offense!"
"Junior, if I hadn't seen you doing something rude, you would be dead by now! This saint doesn't even bother to do anything to ants. I can let you live, but please do me one thing first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a phantom appeared on the closed coffin. The phantom was human-shaped, but its face was blurry. At most, it could be seen that it was the figure of a young woman.
Shen Lang was shocked. The phantom of the young woman was obviously not an evil spirit. It should be a soul that had left her body, and the soul was extremely powerful. Just by looking at it, she could feel a great sense of intimidation!
"Senior, may I ask what is going on?" Shen Lang asked cautiously.
"Quickly come forward and open this coffin!" The woman pointed to the coffin under her body, her tone seemed impatient.
Shen Lang was stunned for a moment and suddenly had many guesses in his mind.
Help her open the coffin? Shen Lang would certainly not be that stupid. The other party appeared in front of him in an out-of-body manner, and the coffin was probably her body.
Opening her coffin without knowing the danger would definitely be a life-threatening move!
Shen Lang did not expose the other party at once, but entered the actor mode, and said respectfully: "May I ask whether the senior's body is trapped in the coffin? The junior does not know the identity of the senior, and does not dare to open the coffin rashly. If the senior can explain.
identity, eliminate the worries in the minds of the juniors, and the juniors will naturally open the coffin for the seniors."
The female shadow was eager to get out, and her attitude was no longer so arrogant. She said urgently: "This saint is the personal maid of the Goddess of Styx. Open the coffin quickly, and I will protect you from death."
Shen Lang looked shocked, this woman's phantom turned out to be the maidservant of the Styx Goddess.
In this case, this temple should be the tomb of the goddess Styx! But why is the goddess's maid still alive?
Seeing Shen Lang's hesitation and delay in taking any action, the woman's shadow shouted softly: "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Open the coffin quickly and let this saint go out!"
The more anxious the shadow becomes, the calmer Shen Lang becomes. The fact that the other party wants to get out so eagerly shows that the shadow is not capable of opening the coffin by himself.
Shen Lang suddenly had no more mental baggage and asked seriously: "Senior is the maidservant of the goddess. He should also be a master who transcends ordinary monks. Why is he trapped in the coffin?"
