Chapter 168: Bai Yan's Trace, Inheriting the Legacy
A dark blue vine is wrapped around the crystal coffin.
There is a purple-red fruit on the vine, which is about the size of an adult's fist.
A trace of spiritual energy emitted from the fruit, forming a purple mist that covered the crystal coffin.
Zhou Yue stared at the fruit.
He can naturally sense that the spiritual energy he absorbed before came from it!
Judging from the surface, this fruit is not fully mature and is smaller than the one Tang Xiaobai ate before Zhou Yue.
However, the "hissing" sound of the wind does not come from this miracle fruit.
But it comes from something in the crystal coffin.
Zhou Yue's eyes fell into the crystal coffin, and his expression gradually became complicated.
That's a huge bone.
It is somewhat like a human scapula, but it has two more rows of bone spurs extending diagonally upward than an ordinary scapula.
It seems that it should have had two wings when it was alive.
The "hissing" sound of the wind comes from this wing bone.
Zhou Yue's face was solemn and he murmured in a low voice: "Could this be..."
The mark of the cat food tree under his left wrist appeared without warning.
The wing bones in the crystal coffin began to shake, hitting the coffin wall and making a "bang bang bang" sound, as if they had received some kind of summons.
Zhou Yue's face was livid.
He knew exactly what was in the cat food tree space.
In addition to Hei Wuchang, it is the skull of the Dark Emperor.
"No way! Are these wings also..."
Zhou Yue finally realized what Hei Wuchang was looking for.
Thoughts flashed through my mind.
Zhou Yue released his mind power, took out the skull that was also shaking from the space of the cat food tree, and placed it next to the crystal coffin.
The skull in the wooden box and the wing bones in the crystal coffin all fell silent.
It was as if they had finally found each other again after being separated by thousands of miles and thousands of miles and years.
Zhou Yue's scalp felt numb when he saw it, and a chill ran up and down his spine.
"It's so ambiguous, they are actually in the same body."
"Okay, okay, Skull, from now on you stay here and fly with your winged brother!"
Zhou Yue forced a smile.
Grandmaster Lu Li asked me to keep the skull?
Hei Wuchang asked me to help him collect the remaining bones?
Please, this is the Dark Emperor! Aren't you afraid that this old man of gods and demons will suddenly fake his corpse one day?
Zhou Yue made up his mind to pick off the miracle fruit, collect some credentials, and find a way to leave this strange place.
As soon as his mind power wrapped around the fruit on the vines on the coffin wall, the air opposite suddenly shook.
It's as if some exquisite mental mechanism has been triggered
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly appeared in front of the crystal coffin, as if it were a human-shaped projection from a distant place, hazy and blurry.
Zhou Yue's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
The other party is tall and tall, dressed in simple clothes. Judging from his appearance, he is only in his forties, but his temples are already gray, and his eyes reveal the vicissitudes and wisdom of seeing through the world.
His temperament is even more indescribable, like a majestic mountain, majestic and vigorous, making people look up to him infinitely.
Before Zhou Yue could say anything, the other party spoke first.
"Hello. Future cultivator of Zhonglu Nian."
"I wonder if you've heard of me."
"I'm here, Bai Yan."
Zhou Yue shuddered as if he was electrocuted, and instinctively blurted out: "Are you the first person in the Central Continent a hundred years ago, the Grand Master Bai Yan who mysteriously disappeared?"
A rare respect appeared on Zhou Yue's face.
If what the other party said is true, then the person standing in front of him is a famous person who has highlighted the key points in middle and high school history textbooks and must take the exam.
More than just heard...it's simply a legend.
During the Plane War a hundred years ago, ten people around the world broke through to the Nine Transformation Realm Grand Masters, breaking the double shackles of the physical body and the power of mind, and became spiritual masters.
Bai Yan is one of them.
Moreover, he is also a great master born in the Central Continent.
Legend has it that the founding of Lu Academy is inextricably linked to the great master Bai Yan.
But history books say that the great master Bai Yan passed away as early as the twentieth century.
He has also become one of the top ten unsolved mysteries of Mid-Continent College, ranking in the top three.
While Zhou Yuezheng was hesitating, the figure spoke again.
"What you see is my 'psychic photo'."
"After the plane barrier was broken, the Dark Emperor crossed the border and caused rebellion. I and several other great masters joined forces to hunt down the Dark Emperor, and then sealed his bones separately to suppress them."
"The Dark Emperor is not a creature from our world, but a winged god and demon from an alien plane."
"Before we killed the Dark Emperor, the Dark Emperor had already joined forces with several gods, demons, and human believers to create an organization called Shadow."
"But later I discovered that the real purpose of this organization was not to destroy the earth as originally imagined. They invaded here to find a secret...a secret that is more ancient than the ancient ruins."
"I will seal the skull and wing bones of the Dark Emperor separately, leaving them for future cultivators to continue to detect."
"I also left some diaries, letters, and soul bells here. Think of them as souvenirs for you."
As the words fell, the figures gradually disappeared.
Zhou Yue's heart moved, and he turned around to see a bronze bookshelf slowly emerging. There were many books, scrolls, and some small objects on the bookshelf.
However, at this time, Zhou Yue's mind was still stuck on the words of Grand Master Bai Yan.
"The Dark Emperor turned out to be a god and demon from an alien plane... Could it be that because it had its own wings, its remnant soul could enter the pet reception room that day?"
"Our plane actually has more than one god and demon from another plane like the Dark Emperor."
"Do the senior leaders of Heritage Academy know about this?"
"Dolan follows Lu Li and the others to the Free City. Will she encounter a shadow?"
"And Grand Master Bai Yan, why did he disappear?"
Too many questions popped up in Zhou Yue's mind.
This also includes the secret that is older than ancient times that the Grand Master mentioned. Could it be... the ancient times where Young Kun is?
"Let's first see what good things Senior Bai left behind."
Zhou Yue retracted his thoughts, calmed down, walked to the bookshelf, and began to look through the books.
A magnificent wartime historical picture painted from the perspective of the great master Bai Yan gradually unfolded before Zhou Yue's eyes.
The more Zhou Yue watched, the more excited he became.
In Bai Yan's diaries, handbooks, and picture albums, they not only record the historical details during the plane war, but also the mountains and rivers of foreign lands, miracle fruits, rare miracle creatures, and even the alien gods lurking in the human world that Bai Yan has seen.
Demons and monsters.
This content alone occupies a thick stack of books.
In addition, there are also Bai Yan's cultivation experiences, various insights, whims, and self-created telekinesis, imperial skills, tactics, etc.
These contents also occupy more than ten books.
With Zhou Yue's level of knowledge in mind cultivation, most of them are currently unable to understand.
Fortunately, for those who have a memory palace, it is not difficult to forcefully remember these incomprehensible contents.
However, when Zhou Yue thought about it, these posthumous works from decades ago should be regarded as old almanacs in the world of spiritual cultivation, which is rapidly changing and progressing with each passing day. They may not really be of any use.
"Huh? Breathe the storm light? This doesn't seem too difficult, and it's quite interesting."
Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief, finally meeting someone who could understand.
In the notes of Grand Master Bai Yan, [Breathing Storm Light] is called the enhanced version of [Breathing Light].
The essence of the light of the breath is an energy group formed by the power of thought activating various non-solid substances in the surrounding space above the head, such as sound, sound, light, wind, air, water vapor, heat, radiation, etc.
Because it looks like the power of mind breathing on the top of the head, it is called "Light of Mind and Breath".
Although the ordinary light of breath has a variety of auxiliary functions, increases momentum, etc., it cannot attack directly.
However, the [Storm Light of Breathing] conceived by Grand Master Bai Yan whimsically used [Light of Breathing] as an offensive weapon and improved and upgraded [Light of Breathing].
As long as the enemy also releases the light of breath, the storm light of breath can attack.
In Zhou Yue's mind area, a series of mind power model diagrams of [Mind Breath Storm Light] emerged, and he tried to simulate it.
Experiments are always accompanied by failures, but success also requires failures to accumulate.
Zhou Yue was immersed in simulation tests again and again.
Time passes unconsciously.
The sleeping crow on his shoulder suddenly opened its eyes.
There was no hint of sleepiness in those blue eyes.
It quietly turned back, glanced at the miracle fruit on the ground, and secretly took a sip of saliva.
It was not in a hurry, and observed the young man until it was sure that the young man was completely immersed in the sea of books, then it quietly tiptoed and jumped off the young man's shoulder.
The sleeping Ma Ya looked back three times with one step, jumping forward while observing Zhou Yue.
Finally, it jumped up to the miracle fruit, stared at the miracle fruit with a longing expression, and greedily sniffed the fruit's scent.
Everything shows how eager it is to eat this fruit and prosper from then on.
However, there was hesitation and shame in its eyes.
After a while, it sighed regretfully, finally made up its mind, gave up stealing food, and returned with a bound.
despair!
It lightly jumped on Zhou Yue's shoulder, looked back at the miracle fruit reluctantly, closed its eyes, and continued to "sleep".
Little Ma Tuan didn't know that his actions from beginning to end were watched by the little beetle in the corner that was released at an unknown time.
…
From afternoon to evening, Zhou Yue stayed in the stone house in the forest.
No one saw him come out.
After dinner, some freshmen finally wanted to go over and have a look.
But before they even got close, they were stopped by the freshmen from Nanhe City who took turns guarding in front of the stone house.
He Jiahai, Xu Fan, Zhang Zerui, Jiang Weiwei and others also didn't understand why Zhou Yue insisted on staying alone in the stone house.
But Zhou Yue is not only the number one person in Nanhe City, but also the "low-key", "down-to-earth" and "unpredictable" leader of the Nanhe system in their minds.
In their opinion, Zhou Yue's move must have deep meaning.
Xu Fan looked thoughtful: "Could it be that the stone house..."
Jiang Weiwei suddenly realized: "I know."
Zhang Zerui quickly asked: "Weiwei, what do you know?"
Jiang Weiwei thought thoughtfully: "Zhou Yue must be thinking of ways to wake up the sleeping crow."
All the new students in Nanhe City looked at each other, some shook their heads, and some smiled bitterly.
They had similar thoughts in their minds, but after all, it was an unsolved mystery that no one in the academy had solved for decades.
Can Zhou Yueguang comprehend and decipher it by sitting inside?
…
The ancient courtyard is silent, the pavilions are idle and the trees are quiet, the moon sets and the sun rises, and the cycle begins again and again.
The next morning, Zhou Yue still didn't show up.
Some freshmen were also talking about it when they left the mansion together.
"After staying in there for one night, it seems that he is really ready to give up."
"This Zhou Yue is just like that. He knows that he can't complete the enrollment task, but he is still making up his mind."
"Speaking of which, Zhou Yue is really miserable. One of the top five freshmen this year has encountered one of the top ten unsolved mysteries."
It was evening again, and Zhou Yue still didn't come out.
There are gradually more rumors about him.
Some say he doesn't have the guts to face reality.
Some people suspect that he actually left in despair.
Some people even say that Zhou Yue and the traitor Fang Wei are both involved.
The college had no evidence, so it sent out this sleeping crow, hoping to use this method to prevent him from completing the enrollment task.
