Outlaw

The canyon is huge.

There is a simple gate made of boulders at the entrance.

Similar to Stonehenge.

When approaching the stone gate, everyone clearly felt a strong sense of oppression, making it difficult to move.

The four of them had to stop and look around carefully.

Since entering the city, I have encountered too many strange and strange things along the way. Everyone had to take every oddity seriously.

Tantai Wen Lingxi glanced at it: "This is a magic circle gate. Although it is transparent, you may face different principles and rules when you step inside. Be careful."

Hua Xizi nodded, then took out the blood ruler and slashed a cross pattern in the air.

When this pattern was printed on the barrier door, it made a sharp "buzzing" sound.

Immediately afterwards, a gap opened in the formation barrier of the gate, which was large enough for people to enter.

"Go in!" Hua Xizi walked in immediately.

It was obvious that she was very excited.

Whenever it comes to archeology, she gets excited like a crazy child.

So many times, I don’t give others room to perform, and I do everything I can do myself.

Xiao Beichen was a little speechless about this. After all, Tantai Wen Lingxi was also from Tiangongtai and was familiar with astronomy and geography, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. He knows more things than Hua Xizi. As a result, Hua Xizi didn't even give Wen Lingxi room to develop.

But this was a good thing. Xiao Beichen didn't say much and walked in.

Once you enter the stone gate.

Everyone felt dizzy and felt that many things around them were different from outside.

For example, the gravity index, air composition, even the geological structure here, and the composition of many other objects are different from those outside.

The ground feels different with every step.

Weird.

When ordinary people encounter such a situation, they should instinctively feel scared. But Hua Xizi became even more excited: "This should be the place leading to the secret realm of Lop Nur. We are right. Come with me."

She took out the map and compared the location. As he walked forward excitedly, his body began to tremble. It seemed as if some great discovery was about to be made.

"Slow down." Xiao Beichen, who was following behind, couldn't help but remind him.

All the way.

The canyon is deep, with towering cliffs on both sides.

A small river winds its way from the end of the canyon.

There were no living things around, nor were they full of bones like outside.

Quietly.

Xiao Beichen couldn't help but asked curiously: "This should be the place where the Demon King fell, and it was also the pinnacle of the battle between the Four Sects and the Demon King. Why are there no bones left behind?"

Extremely abnormal.

Hua Xizi said solemnly: "There is a possibility... there is only one demon king and one demon beast living here."

This is reasonable.

move on.

A large deep pool appeared ahead.

The water is deep and cold.

Three thousand waterfalls hang upside down from the cliff, forming a white line, which is particularly spectacular.

At the end, there is no way.

The four of them stopped beside the deep pool and looked around carefully.

Hua Xizi frowned: "It's strange. We have reached the end of the canyon, but we didn't see the Demon King's residence. We didn't even see the Lop Nur secret realm that Ya mentioned."

Xiao Beichen also discovered this.

Surrounded by cliffs thousands of meters high, there is a deep pool at your feet.

There is no room for anything else.

Where is the Demon King's residence?

What about the secret realm of Lop Nur?

Embarrassed.

Everyone was inevitably a little discouraged and sat on the rocks next to the deep pool to rest.

Demon King City is very taxing on the human body, so it is important to rest more and maintain physical strength.

The empress' health was not good, so she sat in meditation early in the morning to recuperate. Tantai Wen Lingxi stood by the water, looked around, and speculated. As for Hua Xizi, she was very excited and looked around with the map, knocking on the stone wall trying to find the hidden space.

Xiao Beichen felt thirsty, squatted down, took a handful of water with both hands and took two sips.

By the way, I used water as a mirror and looked at myself.

Still very handsome.

Suddenly, Xiao Beichen shivered all over.

Eh!

Under the water...how could I forget this!

Xiao Beichen immediately lowered his head and stared deeply into the water.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but it’s shocking to see it.

There is clearly a huge statue underwater!

The golden Buddha on the front is full of kindness. The devil on the back is terrifying and cruel.

Double-sided carving!

Xiao Beichen thought of the golden Buddha and evil ghost statues in the ancient palace.

The two statues merged underwater.

Although there are slight differences in appearance, the overall style is the same.

The more you look, the more fascinated you are.

Snapped!

Suddenly someone patted Xiao Beichen's shoulder: "What are you looking at?"

It was Hua Xizi who couldn't find any solution and came over.

Xiao Beichen pointed to the water: "Look below."

Hua Xizi looked down and didn't feel it at first. When he saw the twin temple statues in the west, he suddenly took a deep breath and said, "There is another world under the water. The double-sided statue... Could it be that the Demon King's residence... is underwater?" !”

Xiao Beichen was convinced: "It's possible."

Tantai Wen Lingxi and the Empress came over at this time, and they were both surprised when they saw the double-sided statue underwater.

Everyone has the same feeling - the Demon King's residence is underwater!

"Let's go down and have a look!" Hua Xizi took the lead, cut through the water of the deep pool, carved a passage, and then plunged in.

"Stay calm and don't get excited!" Xiao Beichen followed helplessly.

The empress and Tantai Wen Lingxi also followed.

As we descended all the way and passed by the double-sided statue, we really felt how tall the statue was.

Fully two meters high.

When it sank to the foot of the statue, the surrounding water pressure was already very strong. The four of them had to open their power shields to resist, and then they felt a little more comfortable.

"It's over. There are no twists and turns around. You can see the end at a glance. There is no other space." Xiao Beichen looked around, feeling a little disappointed.

The bottom of the water is not big and there is no room to hide.

Judging from this point, the Demon King's residence should not be here.

Hua Xizi did not give up. He looked up at the huge double-sided statue and murmured: "Xiao Beichen, do you know what this statue is?"

Xiao Beichen shook his head: "Just say it."

Hua Xizi said: "This is used to control water. It is similar to the Dinghai needle in the East China Sea."

Xiao Beichen was a little disapproving: "This deep pool is only so big, does it still need to be suppressed?"

Hua Xizi began to show off his knowledge: "You haven't participated in the Global Adventure, so it's normal that you don't know much about these things. Ordinary rivers and small pools naturally don't need water control. But some big rivers and seas flow across the sea. If there is no water control treasure, it will Something happened. Just like when many large expeditions start their expeditions, they need something to stabilize the ship. There is a water-calming statue here, which means that the deep pool is unusual. There must be something terrible that we haven't found yet. "

She got closer to the statue and carefully looked at every detail on the statue.

Finally, an inconspicuous hole was found on the back of the statue.

The hole is not large for the entire statue.

But getting in is no problem.

Hua Xizi pointed at the entrance of the cave happily: "Do you see it? There must be something else inside this cave. Come with me and have a look."

The four of them entered the cave entrance cautiously.

There is a Qi Jin door at the entrance of the cave, which blocks the backflow of the pond water.

Once inside, there was no water and it was filled with air.

A tunnel winds its way deeper underground.

Hua Xizi took the lead. Although she looked very excited, she was very cautious in her actions. She also didn't forget to remind Xiao Beichen to follow her footsteps.

The passage extends all the way down, and the space becomes larger as you go down. Although it is underwater, the stone walls on both sides of the passage are very dry, with some scattered murals carved on them. Ordinary people would not be able to read any information in these scattered murals, but Hua Xizi read them with great interest.

Seeing that she was so immersed in it, as if she had discovered some new world, Xiao Beichen couldn't help but move closer: "What is it talking about?"

Hua Xizi didn't even look at Xiao Beichen and continued to be immersed in the murals: "This tells the story of the construction process of the ancient temple."

Xiao Beichen suddenly became interested: "Tell me about it."

Hua Xizi did not hide anything, and the look of serious exploration was still very charming: "Aren't you curious before about why the murals of the ancient temples in Demon King City were engraved with the information of the founders of the four sects? In fact, it is all explained here."

"The Demon King seems to be related to the Living Buddha God and Witch Clan. But it has a greater relationship with the God and Witch Clan. At that time, the four sects were growing in Daxia, and martial arts were prosperous. There was a vague intention of confronting the Western Regions. Kong was keenly aware of this. At one point, he took the initiative to seek refuge with the Living Buddha. He even joined the Divine Witch Clan in order to kill the four sects. This mural was painted in the air."

This amount of information is too much.

Xiao Beichen: "Is the mural a vain effort?"

Hua Xizi said: "Yes. Kong's origin is very special. He is the only one who knows the origin of the founders of the four sects. Record everything here. A gift to the Living Buddha and the Great Witch Immortal."

Xiao Beichen raised his own question: "Even if Kong wants to give gifts to the Living Buddha and the Great Witch Immortal, they can be recorded on the scroll. Why does it take so much effort to carve this mural?"

Hua Xizi did not answer immediately. Instead, he interpreted all the murals on the stone walls on both sides as he walked.

Reach the end of the passage.

Hua Xizi stopped abruptly, her body trembling a little.

Xiao Beichen saw this and was a little curious: "What's wrong?"

Hua Xizi turned around with a serious look on his face: "Have you heard of the secret realm summoning spirits?"

"The Soul Conjuring?!" The movie of the same name suddenly appeared in Xiao Beichen's mind, and his heart skipped a beat: "What is it?"

Hua Xizi said: "There have been legends of summoning spirits among the people since ancient times. Every July and a half after the death of a person, you just need to tie a paper figure, write someone's name on it, go to the person's tomb, and drop a few drops on the paper figure. Inject blood. Call someone's name. Then someone's soul can come out and attach itself to the paper figurine. This is folk spiritualism."

"In the world of martial arts, there are some special secret realms with passages to other realms. The corresponding foreign objects can be summoned according to the master's needs."

Having said this, Hua Xizi paused and pointed to the countless scattered murals on both sides: "Kong burned the murals here because he knew that this was a secret realm. According to the content and requirements on the murals, he could summon a special team to fight against the four Zong’s foreign body.”

Xiao Beichen felt a little numb: "The summoned foreign object is the Demon King?"

Hua Xizi said: "Yes."

Xiao Beichen was even more horrified: "The contents of these murals are the conditions and directions for summoning the Demon King?"

Hua Xizi said: "That's right. The demon king summoned in this way, on the one hand, understands the past and origin of the four sects, and on the other hand... can only fight against the four sects. If the founders of the four sects are not dead, the demon king will not be destroyed."

Xiao Beichen took a deep breath and was speechless for a long time.

This is so scary.

The demon king who once brought devastating blows to the four sects turned out to be a foreign object summoned by the three parties, the Kong Living Buddha and the Great Witch Immortal.

After a while, Xiao Beichen finally came to his senses: "So, the Demon King does not exist in this world?"

Hua Xizi shook his head: "We can't make such a judgment right now, but what is certain is that the Demon King is definitely not from Daxia. As for whether he is from this world, it is still unknown."

After listening to these analyses, everyone felt a little hairy.

The demon king who can evolve the nine ancestral dragons from a piece of flesh and blood is not something from Daxia. Or is it a foreign object created by summoning souls? God knows what it is.

Xiao Beichen said softly: "Just keep walking inside and you will know."

Beyond the end of the passage, there is a large underground space. There are no complicated buildings here, but there are two statues standing on the left and right sides, barely forming a door.

On the left is still the [-]-meter golden Buddha statue, and on the right is the evil ghost statue.

It's solemn, weird, and terrifying.

"You should reach the end after crossing this gate. Then you should be able to find the place where the Demon King fell." Hua Xizi took the lead towards the gate. When he was about to cross, he discovered that there was a restriction on the gate composed of two statues. Hua Xizi was forced back more than ten meters.

Hua Xizi refused to accept it, picked up the blood ruler and slashed furiously at the gate.

As a result, it had no effect.

"I'll do it!" Xiao Beichen walked over and raised his hands.

One hand is the Dharma, and the other hand is the magic spell.

At the same time, it was injected into the statues on the left and right sides.

Sure enough, the statue seemed to be affected by something, and the hostility on its body was obviously reduced a lot.

The ban on the door disappeared.

"Let's go!" Xiao Beichen took the lead and led everyone into the gate.

Inside is a huge underground space.

In an area of ​​three to four kilometers, mountains of bones and clothing were piled up. A considerable part of them belong to the powerful human race, and the other part belongs to the monster beasts.

Just by looking at this scene, you can see how brutal the peak battle was.

Xiao Beichen was filled with emotion for a moment: "This should be the place where the four sects and the demon king have a decisive battle. It's so tragic."

Seeing the sages of a hundred generations paying such a high price to establish the status of the Daxia human race made Xiao Beichen's blood rush and boil. There is also a charm of passing down the fire from generation to generation.

Ordinary people cannot feel Xiao Beichen's state of mind at this moment.

His feelings are the deepest.

After all, he is the current Northern Emperor of Daxia.

Standing at this height and assuming this responsibility. Only then can we feel the magnanimity and courage of the sages of all generations.

Slowly, Xiao Beichen walked over, bowed deeply to the bones scattered on the ground and saluted: "Junior Xiao Beichen has met all the sages. On behalf of the land of Daxia, thank you!"

"Thank you!"

A word of thanks seems to have traveled through two or eight hundred years of time, inheriting and resonating.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen adjusted his emotions, slowly stood up straight, and looked around.

There was no one around, but there was an extremely tyrannical power of Tao.

Xiao Beichen is also well-informed. Apart from Unname, this is the second place he has seen that has such a strong power of Taoism.

Even Xiao Beichen felt that the restriction at the door just now was not necessarily to prevent outsiders from entering, but to prevent the power of the Tao here from leaking out.

"With such a strong power of Taoism, if you practice here for ten days and a half, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds." Xiao Beichen secretly exclaimed. However, things are urgent now, and Xiao Beichen has no time to think about cultivation. Looking around, I found that there were still many murals carved on the surrounding walls.

Suddenly, Hua Xizi called out: "Look above your head."

Swish!

Xiao Beichen looked up and was shocked.

I saw that the murals above my head were exactly the same as those I had seen on the ceiling of the ancient temple.

A huge painting divided into three parts.

Part One: Countless people worship the ancient tree. On the top of the tree is a woman holding the sun and moon above her head, reaching for the stars.

Part [-]: Four people pick leaves and are followed.

Part Three: Four people ate leaves, opened a door, and saw people in heaven.

This is the second time Xiao Beichen has seen this giant painting, and it is inevitable that his heart will surge.

Does this tree really exist?

Just one leaf allowed the founders of the four sects to dominate Daxia Martial Arts, and could they still open the Heavenly Gate and see people in the sky?

What kind of tree is this?

Could it be that this tree can really connect the sky and the earth, and just stand on the treetop...with the sun and moon above your head, and reach out to reach for the stars?

This is too outrageous, right?

Just when Xiao Beichen was lost in thought, Tantai Awen Lingxi's voice came from the side: "Look ahead, there is a bridge."

Xiao Beichen turned around and saw a large stone bridge extending from the end and disappearing into the darkness in the distance.

"Let's go over and have a look." Xiao Beichen took the lead and walked over.

At the end is an underground cliff. You can't see the end at a glance, and the bottom is even more bottomless.

Bottomless. And the stone bridge extends toward the endless abyss below.

There are also mysterious footprints left on the stone bridge.

Not a human being, nor an ordinary monster.

Hua Xizi squatted next to the footprints and looked carefully: "This footprint should be the footprints of the Demon King. If I guessed correctly, under this abyss is the secret realm of Lop Nur, and it is also the place where the Demon King was born. The Demon King came from Abyss walked up the stone bridge and had a decisive battle with the four sects."

Tantai Wen Lingxi glanced at the abyss: "So, under the abyss is the demon king's lair?"

Hua Xizi said: "It should be. There are even other things."

Tantai Wen Lingxi opened her eyes, and red light burst out from her eyes, straight into the abyss.

After a while, Tantai Wen Lingxi put away her gaze and said deeply: "It is indeed not simple down there. There is a dangerous atmosphere everywhere. Be extra careful when going down."

The four of them stood closely together and walked along the stone bridge towards the abyss.

The moment he walked onto the stone bridge, Xiao Beichen felt an inexplicable feeling of horror.

That's a dangerous intuition.

very dangerous!

Others feel the same way.

But no one backed down and kept going down.

After walking up three hundred steps, the dangerous atmosphere surging around me already made people feel very uneasy.

After walking up [-] steps, a strange wind howled around me.

Every wisp of wind contains powerful power of Tao, which is enough to pose a threat to the strong men in the sixth and seventh levels of the afterlife realm.

After walking through nine hundred steps, we reached the end.

It was an underground cave.

There are two entrances ahead. Depending on the situation, it should lead to different places.

Hua Xizi said: "This should be the cave of the Demon King, and it is also the place where the Demon King fell. Of the two entrances, only one may lead to the Demon King's Cave, or both may lead to the Demon King's Cave. To be on the safe side, we The troops must be divided into two groups."

Tantai Wen Lingxi immediately objected: "No, it's too dangerous to separate. Let's go together."

Hua Xizi pointed to the footprints on the ground: "Look at these messy footprints, it means that Konggu Qianren Lengshao and Yufutu have already entered. If we don't separate, we will fall behind others. We must separate."

Tantai Wen Lingxi still objected.

The two sides are deadlocked.

It was the empress who stood up and said: "Then let's divide the troops into two groups. Now that we are here, we cannot return empty-handed."

When Nudi spoke, Tantai Wen Lingxi was helpless.

Hua Xizi smiled: "It's still the Empress who knows the basics. Let's work in pairs."

When Xiao Beichen was about to say that he would go with the Empress, Hua Xizi said first, "You three, I only believe in Xiao Beichen. So, I must team up with him. Otherwise, I won't do it."

Tantai Wen Lingxi was unhappy.

Xiao Beichen also disagreed. He was worried about the empress.

The empress patted Xiao Beichen's shoulder: "Xiao Beichen, I'm fine. Although I don't have much time, I'm here. I can protect myself. Hua Xizi is familiar with the roads here. Only by following her can you gain the greatest harvest." So be it!"

"The Demon King's Insight!"

After leaving a few words, the empress led Tantai Wen Lingxi directly into the cave on the left. Xiao Beichen was not given any time to react.

Xiao Beichen felt sad when he saw it.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a moment of separation. Besides, these two caves are not far apart. If the Empress is in any danger, you can sense it with her light technique. Let's go." Hua Xizi dragged Xiao Beichen entered the cave on the right.

Xiao Beichen thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

He stopped worrying and followed into the cave.

There are many skeletons in the cave, and there are traces of battles along the way.

The further inside, the larger the space becomes.

Soon, they approached a large stone room.

The screams of battle could be heard from inside.

Hua Xizi said: "Someone is fighting, it seems like a fight has begun. We arrived in time, go and take a look."
