The middle-aged man walked forward cautiously until he reached the gate of the castle. No strange phenomena occurred. He suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, I succeeded, I succeeded!"
There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, and some impatient people rushed towards the gate impatiently. However, Zhan Chen saw that most of the people, including the enlightened ancestors, did not act, because they knew that this castle
Everything inside is unknown, and it is unknown whether there are risks. Instead of rushing in recklessly, it is better to let others explore the path first, and as long as you follow these pathfinders, you can enjoy the results.
After the first group of people had entered, Wang Xiaoyao and other enlightened ancestors slowly walked towards the gate of the castle, while Zhan Chen and Gong Xinyan followed closely behind the group and entered the gate.
Behind the gate is a dim corridor. Every few dozen meters on both sides of the corridor, there is a small lamp made of luminous pearls. The small lamp emits a cold blue light, adding a bit of color to the entire corridor.
A sense of eeriness.
Under this background, the marching speed of the large army involuntarily slowed down, and everyone observed the surroundings very vigilantly to guard against possible dangers.
After walking for several hundred meters, everyone finally came to the end of the passage. What appeared in front of everyone was a magnificent circular hall, which was as wide as two football fields put together. The dome of the hall was very high, nearly thirty meters above the ground.
There is nothing else in it, and it looks lonely and lonely. Only a statue in the center is eye-catching.
This statue is ten meters high and is made entirely of ten thousand-year-old jade. Ten-thousand-year jade is a medium-grade immortal-level tool-making material. Its material is as hard as steel, invulnerable to water and fire, and will not break down for hundreds of millions of years. It can be used
To refine the middle-grade or even high-grade Immortal-level Taoist tools, but the owner of the secret realm only carved it into a statue and placed it there, which shows that he is extremely extravagant and wasteful.
Many Yuanshen realm powerhouses were stunned when they saw this statue. Not to mention whether there are other treasures in this castle, this statue alone can be sold for nearly one million high-grade immortal stones if it is auctioned outside.
!
But Zhan Chen's attention was not on the value of this statue. He knew that with so many masters present, even if there was a heavy treasure in front of him, it was not something he could get his hands on. What he focused on was the characters depicted on this statue.
——An octogenarian old man with elegant charm, his eyes are deep, as if he has understood the vicissitudes of the world.
Keeping staring at the statue, Zhan Chen suddenly had a strange feeling, as if the statue was looking directly at him with its eyes, and even had an illusion that the statue gradually began to enlarge and rise in front of him, until it reached a thousand feet.
He stared at Zhan Chen with disdain, indifference and ruthlessness.
In front of it, Zhan Chen felt like an ant. He shuddered subconsciously and looked away. He didn't dare to look at the statue anymore. He was secretly shocked: "What's going on? The statue is obviously an ant."
It’s a dead thing, but it makes me feel like it’s alive.”
Suddenly, he felt that the temple between his eyebrows was beating slightly, and he was alert for a moment: "Something is wrong, my temple is beating. This is an early warning. This castle must be a place of right and wrong, and it contains great dangers."
, I need to be vigilant!”
He began to observe the surroundings of the hall again, and immediately made a new discovery. Surrounding the rotunda were huge doors. If not counting the entrance where they entered, there were as many as thirty-one, and each door was
The door is closed tightly, and the surface of the door is carved with different patterns, including the sun, moon and stars, ancient beasts, magical weapons, and exotic flowers and plants.
From this, another question arose in his mind: Why did the owner of the castle build so many doors in this hall? What is hidden behind these doors? Where do they lead to?
More and more people gathered in the hall, and just as everyone was talking about it, the vision reappeared. The statue in the center suddenly burst into light, and a person walked out of the statue. He was exactly the same as the character depicted on the statue.
Everyone was shocked by this, and some even took out Taoist weapons to be on guard.
However, when everyone saw clearly, they found that the figure was just a phantom. To be precise, he was just a remnant soul and a clone left by the master of the secret realm in the statue. The real him had already gone to the west.
After seeing the shadow, Huang Defa stood up first and asked: "Who are you?"
The clone did not answer immediately, but showed a look of reminiscence in his eyes. After a while, he asked: "How long have I been asleep?"
"Who are you?" Huang Defa asked again, his tone full of threats.
The clone came back to his senses and said, "Are you talking about my real body? I am Liu Qidi, Taoist Huang Yang. What you see now is just a clone of me. My real body is dead.
It's deep inside this Biluo Palace."
"Why are you telling us this?" Huang Defa asked again.
Liu Qidi smiled slightly and said: "I realized it long before I died. Although I sealed my body in the void, hoping to find peace after death, there is no airtight wall in this world, and secrets will be revealed sooner or later.
If someone discovers me, there will always be grave robbers like you coming to visit me. The reason why I left this clone before my death is to entertain uninvited guests like you."
"Huh! If you die, you will die. What's the use of the wealth you had during your lifetime? Of course you have to hand them over to us descendants. Only in this way will the value of the treasures not be insulted." At this time, Xu Yukun stepped forward.
Come and say.
The clone laughed dumbly and said: "Hahaha, you are simply robber's logic. Why should I hand over the treasures and wealth that I worked so hard to obtain during my lifetime to you group of tomb robbers? Don't even think about disturbing my peace. I am in this Biluo Palace.
There are countless mechanisms and restrictions set up inside, and you will surely die if you break into them, so the smart one is to exit my palace as soon as possible!"
"Jie Jie, tell us to quit? It's like a toad yawning - such a loud tone. We must know that we are all the strongest in the Ming Dharma Realm. How can we be stopped by some small traps of yours?" Xu Yukun looked disdainful.
The clone sneered and said: "All of you here are only six juniors who are at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. How do you know that my cultivation has reached the state of Dharma enlightenment during my lifetime? The methods I have mastered are beyond your imagination.
, if you don’t believe it, you can try it.”
"Jiejie, we have a plan!" Xu Yukun was naturally unafraid. Not only him, but also Huang Defa, Wang Xiaoyao and others present were also indifferent to the threat of clones. In their eyes, Liu Qidi was already a dead person, so what?
Can it threaten them?
"That's all, I won't stop you if you want to die. Have you seen those doors around this hall?" As the clone said, he raised his finger and pointed at the thirty-one giant doors scattered around the edge of the hall, and then said:
"I call those doors the 'Thirty-one Doors of Purgatory'. Behind each door leads to a path.
There are different mechanisms and tests waiting for you on the Road to Purgatory. Of course, I have also placed treasures that I have collected throughout my life on those Roads to Purgatory. As long as you can pass the test, you will be able to obtain corresponding rewards. However, if
If you fail, there is only one end, and that is death!"
"Jiejie, that's interesting! Liu Qidi, I didn't expect you to have such a bad taste, which is exactly what I like!" Xu Yukun laughed when he heard what he said.
However, the expressions of Huang Defa and others changed, and they were quite disgusted with this demonic cultivator.
"Humph, just laugh. I'm waiting for you at the deepest part of Biluo Palace. If anyone can get there smoothly and complete my final trial, I will give my life's wealth to you. This is between you and me.
It’s a gamble for everyone here!” The clone sneered, and then he waved his big hand, and the vision reappeared, and the whole castle began to shake and make a rumbling sound, making people feel as if it would collapse at any time.
Almost everyone present was frightened and anxiously looking for the source of the vibration. At this moment, the way in was blocked by a fallen door. At the same time, thirty-one previously closed doors were opened at the same time.
"You will soon find out that the test I arranged will never be simple, enjoy it all!" the clone said loudly, and then gradually disappeared into the hall.
The moment the clone disappeared, Zhan Chen caught a meaningful smile flashing at the corner of his mouth. This aroused his high vigilance, and he thought: "It seems that the harsh words Liu Qidi's clone released are not alarmist, the road to purgatory"
, What a scary name, I don’t know what’s in it.”
"Let's go!" Wang Xiaoyao said at this time.
The girls asked: "Elder Wang, which door should we choose?"
Wang Xiaoyao replied: "Whatever, I don't think there is any difference. Let's try to finish as early as possible to avoid being delayed here for too long." Her tone was as relaxed as if she was here for a trip.
"Yes!" the girls replied.
"Zhan Chen, come with us!" Gong Xinyan said worriedly.
Zhan Chen shook his head and refused: "No need, Sister Gong, as Elder Wang said, I'm just a burden following you."
At this time, Wang Xiaoyao also looked over and said: "Xinyan, how long are you going to protect this little monk in the Immortal Realm? I have endured it again and again. Don't go too far.
Remember who you are!"
Gong Xinyan suddenly woke up and couldn't answer for a while. She was indeed behaving too abnormally. Seeing this, Zhan Chen took the opportunity to say: "Sister Gong, Elder Wang is right. I'm leaving. Let's meet again when we are destined!"
"So he turned around and wanted to leave.
Gong Xinyan hurriedly reminded: "Zhan Chen, you have to be careful!"
Zhan Chen turned around, gave her a firm look, and said, "Don't worry, I won't die!"
After that, he randomly chose another door and rushed there quickly, while thinking: "Great, I'm finally free. None of these women is trustworthy except Gong Xinyan. If I act with them, it might be bad."
I will become their abandoned son, maybe I will be freer and safer if I work hard on my own!"
