Overshadowing the sun is always a demon

"Guru? Fadu... Guru?"

"Is there any progress?" Fadu woke up from the dream, only to find that Liushun was gently shaking his shoulder.Turning his head slightly, he realized that he had been leaning against Xiao Tang at some point, and his sleeping posture was called a bold and unrestrained one.

No wonder he was able to sleep so soundly, even the nightmare that had been haunting him never came to visit.

Xiao Tang was really too tired. He had worked so hard for the past few days and was seriously injured. He didn't wake up when he pressed him on his pillow.

"Slightly... a little bit of eyebrows, Uncle Zhongyi asked me...to give you the five-manifestation elixir." Liu Shun lowered his voice, as if he didn't want to wake Xiao Tang up, "That bronze door is tightly stitched, and... I don't know what's going on inside, but Uncle Zhongyi is afraid that there will be turbid air leaking out after opening it, so take the medicine first to be...safer."

Bacteria from thousands of years ago may remain in that enclosed space, or a new type of virus may have been produced during the decay of the corpse. It is also possible that the Tang family has often dealt with those things and developed a medicine that can deal with most mutations. of.

Fadu nodded, and swallowed the medicine very cooperatively, still feeling a little uneasy: "Liu Shun, will there be monsters like zombies in it?"

Liu Shun actually smiled: "I don't know... But we also hope not."

"What is hope? Don't you often deal with such things?" Hearing what he said, Fadu suddenly felt very uncertain.

"How many times have I said that the Tang family is neither tomb robbers nor Laoshan Taoist priests. We are in serious business, how can we dig into the grave all day long. Zombies, ghosts, and living skeletons are just walking too much at night. You will always encounter them and deal with them along the way. Just for a moment." Xiao Tang opened his eyes, elbowed Fadu away, "Don't press me down, it's as heavy as a pig."

"Oh..." Fadu rubbed his waist, which was stiff from sleeping, "Xiao Tang..."

"Why hesitate, just say something."

"The door is about to open. You can always tell me now, what exactly do you want me to find for you?" At this time, Xiao Tang should have told Fadu a long time ago what exactly he was looking for. Tang didn't want to mention it, but Fadu knew it was useless to ask, so he held back until now.

Xiao Tang glanced at Liu Shun, and Liu Shun immediately walked away without any hesitation.Fa Du felt even more strange, didn't even the Tang family know what Xiao Tang was going to do?

"Alright, actually, I planned to tell you when I passed the Ghost Eye Gorge, but I didn't expect to miss the Ghost Eye Gorge by chance, and I forgot about it after walking through the thrilling journey."

"Forgot?" Fadu's face was filled with black lines, how could such an important thing be forgotten?

"I told you that the place you are going to is the Realm of Life and Death." Xiao Tang stretched his waist, "The thing I want you to find is called the Gate of Life and Death."

"What is the Gate of Life and Death? What is it for?"

"Zombies can move because they still have mechanical memories of when they were alive, so they walk around and eat meaninglessly. A skeleton is just a pile of white bones, without memory and soul. It can move because it must be affected by external forces. Driving." Xiao Tang replied, "I don't know what the gate of life and death is, but I know it is the power that can drive those living skeletons."

"Drive a living skeleton? What use is this kind of thing to you?"

"The energy used in modern society is nothing more than conventional energy such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These things will be exhausted sooner or later, and the gate of life and death can still drive skeletons after thousands of years. Don't you think this energy is very interesting? If you can use This kind of technology is thoroughly researched and then promoted, and human society will inevitably take a big step forward.”

Fadu admired his ambition from the bottom of his heart: "I didn't expect you to have such an awareness. It's really a great merit."

"It has nothing to do with me whether human society progresses or not. The Tang family is not interested in participating in scientific research. With this thing in hand, countless scientists will definitely be crazy about it, and maybe they will spend all their efforts to buy it. As the saying goes It’s a rare commodity to live in, and if it’s sold, more than a dozen generations of the old Tang’s family will have enough food and clothing..."

Fadu: -_-!

click!

Because everyone was afraid of disturbing any monsters, they kept speaking in a low voice and did not dare to breathe. The sound of the machine spring springing was particularly harsh in this narrow space.

The moment the door opened, everyone felt an extremely cold air flow passing through the crack of the door, like a torrent that had been blocked for thousands of years, collapsing and bursting its embankment in an instant.

Uncle Zhongyi let out a long sigh of relief, his hands drooping down, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Everyone was silent in fear, as if waiting for some unknown beast to pounce from the door.Five or six minutes later, the bronze door was still ajar just as it was when it was just opened, and there was no other abnormality.

Fadu lowered his voice and asked, "What should we do now?"

"Of course I went in. Is there any other choice?" Xiao Tang went to open the bronze door. Fadu followed him and wanted to push the door, but Xiao Tang kicked it open, "While going , You can come here after you are sure there is no danger."

Fadu shouted unconvinced: "Don't deliberately protect me, I can face any danger with you!"

"Really? All right, come here." A sly smile flashed across Xiao Tang's face, and he pushed with both hands, and there was a clicking sound behind the heavy bronze door, and it suddenly opened in front of everyone. .

The moment he saw everything clearly, Fa Du was beyond horrified.

Inside the gate is a staircase that extends forward. The huge stones used to build the staircase are actually transparent, as if they were all made of solid ice. The dark space under the transparent staircase is like a boundless night sky. And the night sky is full of densely packed stars, flickering with dark light leisurely.

Uncle Loyalty looked up at the stone steps as if extending to the other side of the sky, opened and closed his chapped lips with difficulty, and uttered a word: "The Road to Heaven."

"Oh my god, how did you do this?" Fadu stepped on the transparent ground and looked down fascinatedly. It felt like he was suspended in the universe, and the stars under his feet were shining brightly, lifting him up in the sky. above.When you step on it, the star-like things below will become more shining, and can illuminate the entire area around your feet.

Xiao Tang didn't seem to be surprised, but was very proud: "I said it a long time ago, what you are about to see is a miracle that you will never forget in your lifetime."

"Let's go, before the monster guarding the gate finds out... Hurry up." The corpse poison on Uncle Zhongyi's body has not yet been removed, and it is very inconvenient to move around. without any expression of concern.

Xiao Tang came over and grabbed Fa Du: "From here on, you have to be more careful, the closer you get to the center of Huasheng Temple, the more dangerous it will be, and the more likely that ghost will take advantage of the opportunity."

"I know, I... my Buddha!" ​​The shadows that appeared on the left and right sides of the stairs completely frightened Fadu out of his wits. It looked like a giant tiger with a long tail dragging on the ground behind it. Cyan long hair.The scariest thing was that it actually had a human face, with a vicious expression, even scarier than the Cerberus I met before.

Xiao Tang helped him from the side: "What are you afraid of, can you be a little promising? They are all dead."

Fadu took a closer look, and the thing really just stood upright, like a sculpture, and didn't intend to pounce on it, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "The aesthetics of Huasheng Temple is really different from ordinary people, using such a terrifying thing as a For the gatekeeper lion."

"I don't know, this is a 梼杌! Feel it yourself, they are not statues, but specimens. This kind of creature once existed in reality."

Fadu looked at the huge creature in amazement, but never had the courage to touch its skin.

"Mamamia! MINOTAURUS!" Alfonso exclaimed excitedly on the opposite side, and Fadu saw another monster with a bull head and a human body standing opposite the 梼杌 at a glance, which was exactly the same as the image of Minotaurus in Greek legend.

However, this is just the beginning. Every time you go up about a hundred steps, a pair of monster specimens will appear on both sides of the steps. Even after such a long time of change, their images are still vivid and plump.They are like the murals that were originally hung on the walls of Master's meditation room, filled with all kinds of incredible things, some even look like failed biochemical experiments, all weird and indescribable.

Alfonso Diego was so excited that he had been busy taking pictures and sampling. Judging from his expression, the two of them probably wouldn't feel bored living here for a lifetime.

Fadu was full of panic and doubts. This road to the sky was like a museum opened by a mad scientist. Those creatures that should have existed in myths and legends were all presented in front of him. He even doubted himself more and more. Is it crazy to see so many horrible phantoms?

"Can you still hold it?" Xiao Tang saw that his face was getting worse, so he simply grabbed his arm and strode forward, "If you can't take it, just treat yourself as a nightmare."

Fadu wept bitterly: "If it's a nightmare, why can't I wake up?"

Xiao Tang's face was full of hatred: "Even if I can't wake up, I'm still here, right?"

Fadu seemed to be touched in his heart, and turned his head to look at Xiaotang. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness under his feet. Although he didn't really fall, his whole body seemed to fall into a pile of cotton. It's all chaos.That weird feeling was like a foreign body was filtered through the cells of his whole body, like an invisible net covering his body, and he himself became air and water, and through the mesh, It just slipped through.

It wasn't until his consciousness gradually became clear that he realized that he seemed to have suddenly entered a dream again.

The Tang family was gone, Xiao Tang who was leading him in front of him was gone, and so was the Road to Heaven where countless monsters were displayed.

In front of him was a small stone room, without candles lit inside. The entire stone wall was made of the same material as the Road to Heaven. Behind the transparent stone material, there was a ball of light like stars filling the sky, illuminating the entire stone room.This stone room is very simple, with Zen beds and futons, and a few stone benches, it seems that there is nothing special about it.

He just felt surprised and inexplicable. Is this a hallucination or his soul is out of his body?What should he do at this time?Trying to find your body?Or punch yourself twice?

Just as Fadu was about to make a move, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a bamboo slip on the table in the light of the stars, with four big characters engraved on it - "Records of Huasheng Temple".
