Chapter 678 Dark Sea and Tiandao
Chen Shi looked at the Qing Palace opposite the lake. Compared with the Qing Palace in the painting left by the Master, the Qing Palace on the other side of the lake was significantly different.
The Qinggong in the painting is built on a mountain, and only a corner can be seen under the cover of the mountain and trees.
On the other side of the lake, Qingying is not blocked, so you can have a panoramic view.
It's just that the Qing Palace on the other side of the lake looks much smaller than the Dark Sea Qing Palace, as if it were just a palace intercepted from the Qing Palace. Chen Shi was pondering, and was about to walk over the underground lake when a skeleton caught his eye under the collapsed rocks.
This skeleton is embedded in the stone wall, as if growing together with the stone, which is very strange.
its flesh and blood has been petrified and turned into stone, but its bones still remain in their original shape.
It was still raising its hand in the stone wall. Chen Shi carefully observed its arm, and there were traces of rope entanglement on the wrist.
"The bell that Brother Bian found should be hanging on the wrist of the corpse." Chen Shi speculated.
He carefully observed the petrified skeleton. The owner of the skeleton should be a man, humanoid or human.
"It seems that something unexpected happened when it rushed out, causing its body to become petrified. It was buried in this fairy gold vein and died here."
Chen Shi tried to find more clues from the petrified clothes of the skeleton. The man's clothes also turned into stone, and he could only barely distinguish the texture.
His thoughts moved slightly, and the excess stones turned into dust and peeled off. Soon after, the clothes and clothing of the skeleton emerged.
This kind of clothing is not the style of the Chinese Shenzhou, but it still has the beauty of Chinese clothing, and the texture and folds are very textured.
It is woven from natural silk. Some patterns similar to bird heads can be vaguely seen on the clothing, but the stitching is extremely dense. Chen Shi stared at it and saw that the silk was imprinted with strange textures, similar to the patterns of immortality, but it was very different.
"The law of heretics!"
Chen Shi was greatly moved and tried to look more carefully.
However, these heretical laws are carved on silk threads that are even finer than silk, and these threads have also been degraded during the petrification process. Although some heretical laws can be seen above, most of them are incoherent, and the coherent parts only seem to be coherent, but in fact most of the content has been missing.
What a pity.”
Chen Shi sighed. His first Tao was just a section of Tao. It could form a magical move, but it could not form a dojo, nor could it refine magic weapons.
If he can obtain the heretical rules on clothing, it is conceivable that he will improve.
Chen Shi put the petrified clothing aside, thought about it, and put it away again, thinking: "Leave it to the outer disciples of Jin'ao Island to study it, maybe they can find out some contents. Two hundred thousand people can't always be idle, and they have to find some work for them. ”
He looked at the skeleton carefully, hoping to find some imprints of foreign laws on the bones. After all, some techniques imprinted Tao patterns, Tao principles and the like on their own bones to enhance their strength.
However, what disappointed him was that there was no heretical law on this skeleton.
"This man is not similar to the Great Demon. The Great Demon was born in a strange shape, but this skeleton looks like a human skeleton. Could it be a practitioner from the Dark Sea?"
Chen Shi let the skeleton rest in the ground, built a tomb for it, and wanted to erect a monument, but he did not know the person's name, so he had to give up.
He walked towards the underground lake. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the lake, he saw that the lake water under his feet seemed to come alive. The lake water seemed to have given birth to countless tentacles, dancing towards him!
He was frightened and hurriedly retreated to avoid the attacks of the lakes.
The lake was extremely strange. Before he even got close to it, his own laws of the Great Dao were distorted and deformed. At the same time, his physical body and soul began to change, as if he was transforming into an inhuman state!
This situation is not unfamiliar to Chen Shi.
Him He encountered similar alien attacks when he was in Xiniu Xinzhou, but it was the alien pollution caused by Yuanzhong. It was different from this direct invasion by the dark sea, and it was more domineering!
"This lake condenses the outer path of the Dark Sea!"
His Wuji Dojo spread out, and the dojo expanded outward with a sound. It was immediately suppressed by the lake, and could only expand to the size of a square acre.
The water of the lake invaded his dojo like countless tentacles. The scene was exactly the same as when he summoned the Taoist Realm and Xiniu Xinzhou appeared in the sky above the Earthly Immortal Realm!
Chen Shi was running the Wuji Dojo with all his strength. The lake water was eroding his Dojo, transforming his Wuji Tao into a heretic, and at the same time being assimilated by his Wuji Dojo.
They are like two snakes. You eat my tail, and I eat yours.
Chen Shi kept retreating and at the same time took the initiative to shrink the dojo. Soon a delicate balance was formed between the dojo and the outsiders.
After retreating a few dozen feet, the lake seemed to be quite wary of his dojo. It noticed that one was ebbing and the other was ebbing, so it abandoned Chen Shi and the lake retreated back.
Chen Shi took a few steps forward without getting too close.
"Strange, how come there is a sea of darkness here. This sea of darkness seems to be guarding this Qing Palace."
He pondered for a moment, transformed the Hunyuan Wuji Innate Skill into the Innate Demonic Skill, and walked towards the lake again.
His Hunyuan Wuji innate skill is half self-enlightenment and half passed down by his master. He also has extraordinary attainments in the magic way.
As he got closer, the lake trembled slightly as if it were alive, and dense water ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, as if to warn him. As Chen Shi tried to get closer, the agitation of the lake became more intense.
Chen Shi finally stopped.
The devil's path seems to be unable to relax the vigilance of this dark sea.
"This lake seems to have a strange rule. As long as it is within the rules, it will not be attacked by the lake water. But if it is outside the rules, even Daluo Jinxian will not be able to withstand the attack of the lake water."
He thought of this and tentatively raised the Tianluo Blood Transforming Divine Sword.
As soon as the Blood Transforming Divine Sword flew onto the lake, it was caught by a seawater and dragged into the lake.
「My knife!」
Chen Shi exclaimed, although the Tianluo Blood Transforming Divine Sword was made from the magic way, the evolution of the magic way based on the immortal way is essentially the law of the immortal way.
"This magic sword is a remnant, and I asked for it from my disciple Chu Feng. I will return it to him in the future, and cannot lose it."
He hesitated for a moment, dispersed from the Wuji Dojo, and turned all the Wuji Taoism in the dojo into the first principle.
The first Tao is the heretic Tao that he comprehended from the Great Way of Heaven and Earth in Xiniu Xinzhou. It is extremely brief and unsystematic. Chen Shi did not comprehend more Tao, so he used the First Tao to form the Taoist temple. The Taoist temple was extremely simple.
However, the dojo formed by the first line did not arouse the resentment of the lake, and it was obviously within the rules of the lake.
Chen Shi walked forward and came to the lake. The lake water penetrated his dojo and flowed around him.
"The first one was too simple to form a complete dojo and could not protect me."
Chen Shi stood on the lake, letting the dojo continue to operate and change, and maintaining his body from sinking into the lake.
His first dojo was too simple. If it could not support his body, he would fall into the lake and his end would be extremely miserable.
He looked at the Qing Palace in the distance, and the clear ringing of bells came to his ears again, as if there were people living in the Qing Palace on the other side of the lake, shaking the bells in an attempt to communicate with the outside world, and immediately walked forward bravely.
He was walking on the lake, and the water below was slightly turbulent.
Tianluo Blood Transformation Divine Sword sank at the bottom of the water. Chen Shi stared down and could not see where the sword landed.
His mind moved slightly, trying to recall the sword. The Tianluo Blood Transformation Divine Sword emitted a red shimmer at the bottom of the lake, and slowly floated upwards.
Chen Shi looked through this ray of light, and what he saw was countless piles of white bones.
The bottom of this underground lake is actually filled with white corpses!
Chen Shi was shocked. He grabbed the Tianluo Blood Transforming Magic Sword that came up and looked at the scene at the bottom of the lake with the light of the sword. He saw that the corpses at the bottom of the lake were the same as the people in the stone. They were also of a humanoid race, but they died here for some unknown reason.
He calmed down and looked to other parts of the lake. What he saw were countless white bones.
Chen Shi stood on the lake. The bones piled up under the lake, no matter how deep it was, made him look extremely small.
"This underground lake and Qinggong probably existed before the Earthly Immortal Realm. So, the Hugu in the lake must not be gods or mortals from the Earthly Immortal Realm. Who are they?"
He suppressed the doubts in his heart, Continuing to move forward, getting closer and closer to Qing Palace,
Suddenly, Chen Shi felt a familiar force, and he couldn't help but say: "This force——"
He continued to move forward, and the closer he got to Qing Palace, the clearer the force became.
He was even more surprised.
He sensed the aura of Tianjice from the Qing Palace!
Not only that, he also sensed the power of other heavens!
He masters the secret strategy, and even the secret strategy is condensed in the sky of Xiniu Xinzhou. The patterns on it change and are open to interpretation. Chen Shi can occasionally capture a glimmer of secrets, and he is no stranger to this kind of power.
But why does the aura of heaven appear in this underground Qing Palace?
As he got closer, the aura of heaven became more and more obvious. He also noticed an aura similar to that of Yuheng Gate, aura similar to Yaoguang Pond, and various other strange and vague auras.
When he reached the other side, the smell was so strong that he even suspected that there were many heavenly magic weapons hidden in the Qing Palace!
However, besides these familiar auras of heaven, there was also an aura that made him uneasy. This aura was strangely powerful and somewhat similar to heretics.
"Alien species of heaven!"
Chen Shi came to the gate of Qing Palace, looked at the deep palace, calmed down, and was about to walk in, when suddenly there was a tinkling copper bell in his ears, which made him almost jump in fright.
Chen Shi followed the sound and discovered that a white bone palm was protruding from the entrance of the Qing Palace, with a copper bell hanging on the wrist.
"It scared me to death, I thought it was haunted."
Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the Qing Palace, and came to the corpse.
Hushi's clothes have long since melted away. Sitting by the door, it should be the skeleton of a woman. Before she died, she raised her wrist and shook the bell on her wrist.
Thinking about coming to the other side, the bell on the wrist of the man in the stone will also ring.
She can use the sound of the bell to determine whether the man has escaped.
She was seriously injured and leaned against the door of the Qing Palace, shaking the bell on her wrist. The bell rang, and there was also a bell in the distance, which made her feel sad.
He did not escape.
There are two people across the lake. One died on this side of the underground lake, and the other died on the other side of the underground lake.
Chen Shi took off the bell from the wrist of the woman's skeleton and carefully looked at the texture on the bell. It was different from the immortal Taoist patterns and the Shinto Taoist patterns. This texture structure was similar to the heretic laws on the clothes of the man in the stone, but the structure was more complex and mysterious.
Chen Shi shook the bell, and the bell sounded crisply. At the same time as the bell rang, he could clearly sense another bell in another place.
"It is indeed two magic weapons that go hand in hand."
Chen Shi was quite surprised. This was the first time he encountered magic weapons refined by outsiders, and they were a pair!
That piece of clothing can also be regarded as a magic weapon, but unfortunately it has been destroyed.
"I wonder how powerful these bells are?"
Chen Shi looked at the bells. The power of a single bell may not be great, but when two bells are activated together, the power must be extremely amazing!
Especially for outsiders, they have great attack power against immortals. They are extremely suitable for dealing with some immortal masters!
"The other bell is at Brother Bian's place. After I went out, I asked him for it. One was given to me, and the other was hung around my waist."
Chen Shi was about to bury the woman's bones. After thinking about it, he picked up the woman's bones and returned to the other side of the lake. He dug up the grave of the person in the stone and buried the woman's bones in it.
"Two fellow Taoists, you cannot live together, but you can die in the same hole. Have a good journey."
He buried the two of them and crossed the underground lake again to the Qing Palace.
When he stepped into the Qing Palace, the weight and greenness of heaven rushed towards him, making him feel like a pilgrim. But the strange thing is that the breath of heaven is only part of it, and the more is the breath of heretics!
This Qinggong is just a large hall, divided into front and back. In front of it are stone pillars with stone dragons coiled around them. The walls on both sides are filled with all kinds of strange heretical laws.
The aura of Heaven and Heretic that Chen Shi sensed came from the laws of Heretic on the wall.
Further forward is the patio, which is somewhat similar to the layout of the Four Waters Returning to the Hall.
Chen Shi looked up and saw a stone sculpture of a strange beast sitting there in each of the four corners of the patio. It was somewhat similar to a unicorn, but its appearance was somewhat different.
It was probably a strange beast from the dark sea.
After the patio, there is an incense burner in the center of the apse. The ashes in the burner have accumulated and have become petrified.
There are several human bones lying nearby. The skeletons have turned into stones. They should be of the same origin as the man and woman outside.
They suddenly fell to the ground and died while escaping.
Chen Shi stood in front of the incense burner, looked behind the burner, and saw a statue of a god.
The sky above the throne is empty, there are no sculptures of any gods, but the aura of heaven and heretics coming from the throne is the strongest!
Chen Shi could not hold on for long and hurriedly exited the Qing Palace to avoid being contaminated by heretics.
"Strange, what is this Green Palace used for?"
He came outside the palace and looked back at the Green Palace. In fact, he had seen similar layouts, many temples dedicated to gods, with similar layouts.
"In other words, this is actually the place where the Dark Sea monks worship God. But how come there is such a strong aura of heaven? Is this a place where heaven is worshipped?"
He suddenly realized that the Dark Sea monks embodied the heaven of the Dark Sea as a god, so they built the Qing Palace to worship it!
This person on the divine throne is actually a god-man transformed by the way of heaven!
"The heretical laws on the wall are actually the laws that the Dark Sea monks understood after observing the gods and men of heaven!"
He returned to the front hall of the Qing Palace, carefully looked at these heretical laws, and was very excited.
He obtained Tianji Ce, but Tianji Ce was only thirty-third of the Heavenly Way in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
The Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Immortal Realm is only a part of the Dark Sea and Heavenly Dao!
If he can understand the heretical laws on the wall of the front hall, then his Taoist practice will definitely be greatly improved!
Chen Shi rested comfortably and turned to look at the bones in the Qing Palace: "Wait a minute, why are these Dark Sea monks fleeing?"
