The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 665 The ancient puzzle that has not been continued for a long time

Obviously, the entrance to the secret realm of the Cui family is in the ancestral temple, and the bronze hall where Qinghe and Longque once were placed is right next to it. It can be considered as taking Longque back to his former residence.

It's a pity that Longque didn't seem to be interested in revisiting his old place at all. He just lay in the ring and imitated Turtle, saying nothing. Next to her squatted a handful of Xinghe, like a little baby lying next to her sister, curiously watching the surrounding scenery with her.

As for why the swords quietly in the ring can bring this kind of feeling to Zhao Changhe... It's really not because of abnormality, but because after the battle of Huangshang, the image of the sword spirit became more and more obvious, and Zhao Changhe could almost The illusion of seeing the shadow of a person overlapping the sword is like two children lying there looking out.

　　If this continues, do you dare to fight with others with swords in the future? Why do you feel that you can't do it, especially Xinghe is just an infant...

Who designed the concept of Sword Spirit? What a fool.

But I feel relieved when I think that the blind man in the final form of the spirit can independently make troubles outside. It should be said that he is ahead of the world in this direction, further than Xia Longyuan... Maybe it is because of his long-term contact with the blind man?

Thinking about it, Cui Wenjing had opened the door to the secret realm over there. With a feeling of space distortion, the environment in front of him changed drastically. Outside is the peaceful and tranquil Qinghe County, but inside is an underground secret cave with an extremely weird atmosphere.

The inside is eerie and intertwined, quite huge, surrounded by rugged rocks and intertwined canines, which gives people a ferocious and terrifying impression just from the visual perspective. The aura was extremely ferocious, and one felt frightened when walking in it. It reminded Zhao Changhe of his own blood evil—this must be a similar kind of evil spirit. The evil spirit formed by killing countless creatures was coiled throughout the ages. Immortal.

Excluding the natural tendency caused by his inheritance of Lie's martial arts, and excluding his final heroic spirit of slashing into the sky, Lie is this kind of evil spirit. He is bloody, brutal, and extremely murderous. Rather than saying that he is a blood god, he should be said to be a blood god. magic.

 And what is buried here is also a typical evil spirit.

However, there is an extremely righteous and awe-inspiring aura here, which is dense and dense, suppressing this ferocity and not harming those who enter, let alone spilling out.

The further you go inside, the hotter and hotter it becomes, just like the interior of the volcano. It should be like being roasted in a furnace. And under the same aura of awe, the heat is not uncomfortable, but rather like the air conditioner blowing in the summer.

This breath is the meaning of Qinghe Sword... This meaning of rivers and mountains suppresses evil and drives away evil spirits, and illuminates monsters. It never disappears because of the collapse of a sword.

There are several old men sitting cross-legged at the intersection below. It seems that the elders of the Cui family are guarding the family's fundamental secret place, and they also use the clear river energy here to practice cultivation. Even the Lu family in Gusu had their own training ground back then. Qinghe Cui naturally couldn't have the same training conditions as ordinary people on the ground. If Yang Yang passed his family's test back then, it should be here.

 And these old men...although they are not recorded in the Troubled Times List, they all practice in secret realms. Perhaps they have not competed with others for a long time, so they have no results in the Troubled Times List. But they definitely all have the strength to be ranked among the people. A list of just a hundred or so people cannot include all the heroes in the world.

 This is the terrifying background of the top aristocratic family.

Of course, the more top-notch masters are, the harder it is to find one. This thing cannot be achieved without having the foundation. What the foundation guarantees is that the backbone is not weaker than others, and the birth of top masters requires various conditions. In the world where there is no immortality In the background, it is difficult for an ancestor of the Cui family to appear out of nowhere.

Seeing Cui Wenjing and his daughter bringing Zhao Changhe over, several old men knew who they were and bowed slightly: "I have met King Zhao."

It seems that what happened on the ground has long been connected with this place, and these dying old men followed the family's decision.

Cui Wenjing said: "Is everything normal inside?"

“The Qinghe Purple Qi is already slightly weakened. Without the Qinghe Sword, I’m afraid it will dissipate in a few decades.”

Cui Wenjing nodded: "We will recast the divine sword. Everyone, please guard the key points. Anyone who enters without permission will be killed!"

The old men's eyes were filled with ecstasy, and they bowed and said, "Follow the orders of the master of the family."

The old men moved out of the way. Zhao Changhe followed Cui Wenjing around the path ahead, and his eyes suddenly opened up. Ahead is a red magma hell, with flames that are about to erupt everywhere. Broken bones can still be seen dissolved in the magma. It is unknown how much time has passed but it has not been completely annihilated.

There is also a small mountain island in the center of the magma, and there are caves in the mountain. This environment looks like the place where a demon **** lurked in ancient times to build a cave, and the violent energy emanates from it.

 The majestic purple gas spreads throughout the space, floating on the magma river, like a clear river flowing, calming the boiling magma. The most intense purple energy is at the entrance of the cave, covering it as tightly as a seal.

Cui Wenjing introduced: "Around this atmosphere, we have built many family trial places, and I will not introduce them one by one. This cave is not complicated, but there was an ancient evil demon who was killed here by the Qinghe Sword. After our ancestors discovered this place, they buried the bones, took the Qinghe Sword, received many ancient inheritances, and settled here with their entire clan..."

Zhao Changhe asked: “Where are the bones buried?”

"At the bottom of the magma." Cui Wenjing said: "There are many bones in the magma that were killed by this evil spirit in ancient times. He himself was buried in it. I know you are worried about his resurrection. This person is indeed dead and is not harmful."

Zhao Changhe nodded. According to the rules of creating secret realms, this secret realm should have been created by Qinghe Sword, not the evil spirit. There is a high probability that the evil spirit is really dead, and died before the collapse of the era. What confused him was the original owner of Qinghe Sword. According to Cui Wenjing, what happened without the original owner? Where is the original owner?

Cui Wenjing knew his confusion: "The original owner of Qinghe really does not know where he is, and according to the records left by his ancestors, Qinghe's identification of the owner is very straightforward. It seems that there is no original owner in the first place."

Zhao Changhe nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.

He felt that this place looked familiar. He would check the "Illustrated Records of Mountains and Rivers" later to see if there was any record of ancient Xuanwu.

 Exploring the secrets of antiquity is actually Zhao Changhe’s main mission, but it has been done too scatteredly and has not been able to be connected into a coherent line. The secret realm of the Cui family suddenly made Zhao Changhe feel that the process of unifying the world was essentially the path to completing the main plot, and it was just Lao Xia who did not follow common sense.

 When the blind man met Lao Xia, he really saw a ghost.

Cui Wenjing said: "In short, our ancestors settled here to breed and breed. Although they wanted the spiritual energy here to be richer than the outside world, they were mainly worried about the chaos of the resurgence of evil spirits here. We have a responsibility to deal with it. After all, this is equivalent to sitting on the crater of a volcano. , his sense of responsibility is still very strong, and Qinghe’s recognition of his master is probably related to this. At present, the possibility of the evil spirit reviving is extremely small, and I wonder if anything will change after the remaining purple energy here dissipates. "

 The three of them flew past, passing through the magma and reaching the cave. The cave is also divided into many areas, and the three of them didn't waste time and went straight to the forging area.

As expected, there was fire rising from the ground, and there should have been some weapons and treasures nearby, but they had been taken away by the Cui family. However, there is a forge standing alone on the same spot. This is because it is directly related to the underground fire, and there is no point in moving it. Therefore, it is left here and is used within the Cui family to forge swords. There is a lot of traffic, and it is not an absolutely prohibited forbidden area. , and there are many casting traces in recent years beside it.

 Judging from this scene, the resurgence of evil spirits that the ancestors of the Cui family were worried about has probably been forgotten by recent people, and this place has become a treasured land for the clan members.

On the contrary, after the Qinghe sword was broken, they became nervous, fearing that the broken sword would cause a series of chain reactions, which was also ironic.

Cui Wenjing asked: "How is it? Is this fire enough?"

They all regard Zhao Changhe as an expert. In fact, Zhao Changhe really doesn’t know much about fire. At this time, he was asking the guide: "Blind blind, is this fire enough?"

 The blind man ignored him.

So Zhao Changhe changed his strategy: "Longque, can this fire melt you?"

The dragon bird that was lying lazily suddenly jumped up and said: "With this miscellaneous fire! It can't even melt the spikes of my sword!"

Zhao Changhe raised his head and confirmed to Cui Wenjing: "Okay."
