Walking in the Celestial City, you can often see a broken jade bridge or a corner of a collapsed palace exposed in the mist-like light, just like the corpse of a beast exposed in the mist.
"Isn't Tianmen one of the four forbidden areas? Even entering is very difficult, and who destroyed it like this?" Li Xiu asked, following behind Li Qingyin.
Li Qingyin said: "Since Tianmen was discovered, it has looked like this. Even in the historical documents of the Demon Kingdom, Tianmen has always looked like this. It was like this when it was called the Four Forbidden Zones by the Demon Kingdom.
status."
After a pause, Li Qingyin continued: "It seems that even a complete building cannot be found in this city, but even a broken brick and a tile have extremely terrifying power. There were once people in this Celestial City.
He picked up a jade brick and took it out secretly. As a result, in less than a week, the whole family died mysteriously. Later, no one who came into contact with the jade brick survived.
When those people died mysteriously, an investigation was conducted in the city. The cause was never found out. Dozens of people died in succession. Finally, the jade brick was discovered. The investigators who came into contact with the jade brick also died mysteriously. Later, an elder found out the reason.
The jade brick was returned to Tianmen, and this was able to calm the death storm, but the elder also disappeared from now on, and no one was seen alive or dead."
Li Xiu was horrified: "Just a jade brick is so terrifying. We have stepped on so many jade bricks along the way. Wouldn't we die without a burial place?"
"You don't have to worry so much. As long as you don't take anything out of Tiancheng and just touch these jade bricks, there will be no problem." Li Qingyin said, and suddenly heard a roar like a cow or a lion, from the clouds
A ray of light came from deep inside.
"Demon spirit!" Li Xiu's heart skipped a beat.
It is not a good thing to encounter demon spirits in a place like this. I heard Lao Dao say before that none of the demon spirits in Tianmen is lower than a super soul, or at least a super soul.
Although Li Xiu has a Jedi Knight, his own level is too low, and he is afraid that he will encounter demon spirits that attack in a range, and the Jedi Knight may not be able to block all attacks.
"It should be a demon spirit, but don't worry. When I came to Tianmen with my elders, I could often hear this roar. I heard from the elders that they could hear this roar every time they came to Tiancheng, but they had never seen it before.
The owner of this roar has appeared." Li Qingyin thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, as long as we follow this route, there won't be any big problems. This route has been explored by many powerful seniors, so there won't be too much risk.
.”
"What will happen if we don't follow this route?" Li Xiu asked curiously.
"It's hard to say. We might encounter a terrifying demonic spirit that can kill us instantly, or we might die in this Celestial City without knowing how. The Celestial Gate is mysterious and there are too many people who have died inside.
Not to mention you and me, even the light-level trialists can only act step by step here without daring to be careless." Li Qingyin said as he walked, a jade bridge suddenly appeared in the clouds and mist in front of him.
.
The bridge is two or three meters wide. The entire jade bridge is made of white jade. There are many strange pictures carved on the bridge railings, including clouds, rain, thunder and lightning, and strange animals and birds.
The clouds and mist are rolling under the Jade Bridge, and you can't see whether there is water under the bridge. You can't see anything three meters away from the Jade Bridge, and you don't know where the bridge leads.
"After passing the Yunjian Bridge, we are almost at the execution platform." Li Qingyin did not go directly to the bridge, but walked to the side of the bridge.
After Li Xiu followed her for a few steps, he saw a small temple-like building next to the bridge.
The building was extremely small, only half a person tall, about as high as Li Xiu's waist, and about the same size as a doghouse, but the carved beams and painted buildings were extremely exquisite.
Within the arch of that building, there is a similarly small and mini altar. Behind the altar is a altar with a jade tablet standing on it.
There were several words written in the demonic kingdom on the tablet, and Li Xiu recognized it at a glance. It said "the position of the grandma of the land".
Li Qingyin stood in front of the small temple and respectfully bowed three times to the tablet on the altar.
A strange thing happened. Li Xiu saw some simple lines appearing on the jade plaque, which looked like a smiling face.
The picture appeared and disappeared. If Li Xiu hadn't been sharp-eyed, he would have almost thought it was his own hallucination.
Li Qingyin breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the smiling face: "Grandma Tu can keep you safe. Her smile means that there is no worries ahead and you will be able to pass smoothly. Come and pay your respects."
Li Xiu nodded, stood on the spot given by Li Qingyin, followed Li Qingyin's example, and bowed to Grandma Tu Tu's tablet.
When Li Xiu raised his head and looked at the tablet, he was stunned.
On the white jade-like tablet, there were streaks of blood, like traces of blood and tears.
After Li Qingyin paid his respects before, the smiling face disappeared as soon as it appeared, but these blood stains were like dried blood on the tablet, showing no signs of dissipating.
"What's going on?" Li Xiu stood up and looked at Li Qingyin next to him.
Li Qingyin said with a strange look: "I have only heard from the elders that if there is a smiling face on the memorial tablet of Grandma Tu, it means there is no worries ahead and you can pass safely. But if Grandma Tu shows an unhappy face, it means there will be trouble ahead, and there may be danger.
Encountering something like a demon. I have never heard of such a situation. I don’t know what it means, but it doesn’t seem like a good omen.”
"How about...I'll pay my respects again..." Li Xiu muttered.
"But if you don't do it again, it won't work anymore." Li Qingyin shook his head.
"Then what should we do now? Should we continue to move forward?" Li Xiu looked at Li Qingyin and asked.
"This vision is unpredictable, and the future may be unpredictable. Otherwise, forget it today and come back another day." Li Qingyin looked at the blood stains on the tablet and said in thought.
"There was no problem when you prayed before. I'm going with you. How could it be possible that you have no problem and I have problems? I don't think the red color is a bad omen. You see how festive the red color is. It should be a good omen." Li Xiu
Said with a smile.
Li Qingyin said solemnly: "This is not a place for joking. If anything goes wrong, it will be doomed. There is no reason to guess like this."
"This is not a guess. It should be impossible for the two results to be contradictory, but since you think there is a problem, let it go." Li Xiu said.
"Then go back." Li Qingyin said and took Li Xiu back.
Not long after leaving, Li Qingyin suddenly stopped Li Xiu and put his finger in front of his lips, signaling Li Xiu to silence.
Li Xiu immediately understood what Li Qingyin meant. He stood there without moving and listened with his ears. He vaguely heard someone talking in the distant clouds and light.
Just because the distance was too far, Li Xiu could only vaguely hear a few voices, but could not clearly hear what was being said.
Li Qingyin listened for a moment, his face changed slightly, he put his lips to Li Xiu's ear, and said in a very low voice: "Something is wrong. I heard the voices of Bai Wanli and Han Mingshou. There should be others, but there are others
He didn't say anything, and I don't know how many people there are. They should be coming for you, but I didn't expect them to find out so quickly and chase after you."
"Is there a place to hide people?" Li Xiu asked with a frown.
"You can't walk around here, and you can't hide anyone. Unless you cross the Yunjian Bridge, there is a jade tower before arriving at the execution platform. There is no danger in the tower, and you can stay away for a while." Li Qingyin's face looked a little unsightly.
"Then let's cross the Yunjian Bridge first," Li Xiu said.
Li Qingyin was a little hesitant. After all, there was a strange sign on the memorial tablet of Grandma Tu, and Bai Wanli and the others must have known about the Jade Tower. If they went to the Jade Tower, the two of them would still have nowhere to hide.
"There's nothing to hesitate, let's go." Li Xiu knew that Bai Wanli himself was here, and he must have been fully prepared to kill him this time. If he fought against him, he would probably be in trouble.
Li Qingyin also knew that there would be no good results in facing them head-on, so he and Li Xiu turned around and walked towards Yunjian Bridge.
After the two of them stepped onto the Yunjian Bridge, nothing special happened. Under the leadership of Li Qingyin, they quickened their pace towards the other end of the Yunjian Bridge.
Outside the Yunjian Bridge, the light surges and the sea of clouds rolls, and there is a halo of mist in front and behind, which makes it feel like people are walking in a celestial palace.
After walking for a long time, Li Xiu kept measuring his steps, and was a little shocked to find that this mere jade bridge was more than a hundred miles long, and he still hadn't reached the end yet.
After a while, we finally reached the end of the Jade Bridge. After getting off the bridge, the light in the clouds and mist in front seemed to be a little duller, and we could see a distance of twenty or thirty meters.
You can vaguely see many collapsed buildings on both sides, lying on the roadside like monsters.
After walking not far, Li Qingxiu identified the path, then turned around and walked inside along a collapsed jade wall.
Li Xiu followed her for a while and saw a three-story octagonal jade building in front of her.
Half of the plaque on the door of the Octagonal Jade Tower was broken, and the remaining half had two demonic characters on it. Li Xiu recognized the two demonic characters, which probably meant "Jade Scenery".
Because there are no words at the back, I don’t know what is written on the entire plaque.
"The Jade View Tower is very safe. If you encounter danger, you can take shelter here. I don't know why, the demons will not enter the Jade View Tower, but you can't walk around in the places near the Jade View Tower. Many people come here."
The people here are all lost nearby." Li Qingyin opened the door and walked in: "Let's hide here for a while. Those people in Bai Wanli must be looking for us. They think we have arrived at the execution platform. They must be there.
Hurry to the execution platform, and after they pass by, we will quickly return the way we came."
After Li Xiu entered Yujing Tower, he closed the door and looked at the scene inside the building.
The octagonal building has eight walls, with a door at the front and back. Each wall is engraved with a pictographic pattern. The patterns that Li Xiu can recognize include wind, rain, thunder, lightning, frost, fire, and cloud.
There was another pattern, and Li Xiu couldn't guess what it represented.
"The eight celestial phenomena carved on the walls on this floor are wind, rain, thunder, lightning, frost, fire, and clouds. The walls on the second floor are also carved on the walls, but they become eight kinds of strange beasts. Three
There are eight kinds of symbols on the first level. Those symbols are extremely weird. They are not our characters, nor the characters of the Demon Kingdom..." Li Qingyin introduced in a low voice.
"I know what these wind, rain, thunder, lightning, frost, fire, clouds are, what kind of celestial phenomena are they?" Li Xiu asked.
"I don't know. I just heard from the elders that this kind of celestial phenomenon only exists in the Celestial City. Someone once saw that kind of celestial phenomenon from a distance. He only saw it from a distance. His eyes became blind after that. According to what he said
, that kind of celestial phenomenon is beyond imagination, and there is great terror in it." Li Qingyin listened attentively as he spoke, but Bai Wanli and his party did not appear.
"Let's go to the second and third floors to have a look." Li Xiu was quite interested in these things.
Li Qingyin nodded and led Li Xiu up the stairs to the second floor.
After going up to the second floor, Li Xiu looked at the eight walls on the second floor, and sure enough he saw pictures of eight kinds of strange beasts.
He probably knows all eight kinds of strange beasts: dragon, phoenix, unicorn, horse, tiger, ox, sheep, and ape.
It's just that the horse has a pair of wings, the cow has three eyes, and the sheep has three heads. Only the ape's pattern looks normal. It's just that the patterns are all about the same size, but this ape seems to be larger than the
Those cattle and sheep are bigger, I don’t know why.
After watching for a while, Li Xiu and Li Qingyin went up to the third floor. There were no windows on the first and second floors, but there were eight windows on the third floor. The windows only had frames and no glass, so you could see directly outside.
Right above each window, there was a palm-sized symbol engraved on it. Li Xiu looked at it for a while and found that he didn't recognize it. It was not a commonly used demonic language, and there was no similar symbol in the dictionary of the Demonic Academy.
While Li Xiu was studying the symbols, Li Qingyin leaned against the window and looked outside. After a while, Li Qingyin's expression changed slightly and she made a gesture to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu carefully leaned over and looked out quietly under the cover of the wall. He found four figures walking from the halo of clouds and mist. Judging from the direction they were walking in, they turned out to be coming to the Yujing Tower.
Li Xiu and Li Qingyin looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in the other's eyes.
After a while, the four people got closer, and Li Xiu found that they were all old acquaintances, Bai Wanli, Su Bancheng, Han Mingshou and Wan Chaoxin.
"The Li family really thinks highly of me. Su Bancheng, Han Mingshou and Wan Chaoxin are all powerful super souls, plus Bai Wanli, whose strength is unknown. If a fight breaks out here, I'm afraid Li Qingyin won't be able to protect me.
So thorough." Li Xiu thought to himself.
"According to circumstances." Li Qingyin stretched out his finger and wrote four words on the back of Li Xiu's hand.
Li Xiu nodded, and Li Qingyin continued to write: "If they go to the third floor, we will hide on the roof outside."
Li Xiu nodded again, staring secretly at the four people outside.
"Bai Wanli is a very scary person, be careful." Li Qingyin continued to write.
When Bai Wanli and the four of them arrived downstairs, they did not enter Yujing Tower directly. Instead, they stood in front of the door and chatted there.
"I've heard about the Jade View Tower a long time ago. When I saw it today, I did have some clues. I'm afraid it's not the real building." Su Bancheng held a jade folding fan in his hand and said while shaking the fan.
"What is this if it's not a building?" Han Mingshou asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a furnace." Su Bancheng looked at Yujing Tower and said.
"Thatched cottage?" Han Mingshou said coldly.
"No, it's the furnace of the alchemy furnace." Su Bancheng said.
"Whose alchemy furnace looks like this?" Han Mingshou felt that Su Bancheng was talking nonsense. This was clearly a three-story building.
Su Bancheng smiled and said: "The eight corners of this building correspond to the eight doors of opening, rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, and surprise. The entrance door on the first floor corresponds to the door of life, the back door corresponds to the door of death, and the eight windows on the third floor
Corresponding to the position of the Bagua, this is the layout of the Bagua alchemy furnace. Ordinary families do not build buildings like this. This building looks like a building, but the actual layout is a furnace. If someone lives in such a building, I am afraid that it will not last more than a month.
, all the blood relatives in the family must be dead, this building... refining their lives..."
"This is the Tianmen restricted area of the Demon Kingdom. Your Xuanmen theories on earth may not apply here." Han Mingshou said.
"It's just a casual comment, just enjoy it." Su Bancheng did not argue with Han Mingshou.
Bai Wanli stopped the two people from continuing and said: "Now Li Qingyin should be on the execution platform looking for an opportunity to be promoted to the Guangji level. We must get rid of Li Xiu before Li Qingyin is promoted to the Guangji level, otherwise we will wait.
After Li Qingyin is promoted to the Guangji level, with her protecting Li Xiu, it will be inconvenient for us to take action again."
"In that case, why don't you go directly to the execution platform? What are you doing here at Yujing Tower?" Wan Chaoxin said.
Bai Wanli smiled and said: "Commander Wan Chao, don't be impatient. If we go to the execution platform at this time, what if when we attack Li Xiu, it affects Li Qingyin on the execution platform, causing Li Qingyin to suffer the backlash of the execution platform and fail to advance.
No one can bear this responsibility if their lives are lost."
Bai Wanli said and looked at Yujing Tower: "Yujing Tower is the center of the area nearby. The eight directions of Yujing Tower correspond to the eight special buildings in this area, and the execution platform is among them. In fact, this Yujing Tower
It is a control center. Using Yujing Tower, we can make some changes to the execution platform and isolate the execution platform from the area outside the execution platform. In this way, Li Qingyin and Li Xiu on the platform can be completely separated.
So that Li Qingyin won’t get in the way.”
"Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it?" Wan Chaoxin frowned.
"Tianmen is mysterious and unpredictable. There are countless secrets. Even the president cannot know all the secrets in Tianmen." Bai Wanli narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's go to the second floor first and use the eight signs of life on the second floor.
To control the execution platform, we must first isolate it from the outside world."
The four people filed in and soon arrived at the second floor of Yujing Building.
Li Xiu and Li Qingyin carefully lay down near the stairs, listening to what was going on below.
"Is there any mechanism here?" Wan Chaoxin asked, looking at the empty second floor.
"The eight signs on this wall are the centers that control the eight buildings. The one corresponding to the Vajra Ape is the execution platform. As long as the Vajra Ape is activated, the execution platform can be isolated." Bai Wanli said.
"How to start it?" Wan Chaoxin asked, looking at the Diamond Ape.
"Look carefully, there are some depressions in the carvings of the Vajra Ape. As long as the corresponding magic core is embedded in them, the Vajra Ape can be activated." Bai Wanli said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Isolate the torture platform quickly and kill Li Xiu as soon as possible." Han Mingshou also said.
"Don't worry, Li Qingyin doesn't want to be promoted to the light base level so quickly. Maybe he hasn't started yet. Wait a little longer to avoid starting too early." Bai Wanli said and looked at Wan Chaoxin: "Director Wan Chaoxin, you
That little aunt at home should be in Nawan Garden now, not far from the execution platform. Should we go there first to say hello?"
