Liu Xiaoshan pointed at the golden skeleton and said: "If this skeleton is shrunken according to the bones of the Hermit God, then it must have been made by later generations according to its shape after the Hermit God died. But from the guardian beasts of several ruins
From what is said, the Hermit of God personally put this thing into the ruins, and left part of his soul to guard the four ruins, which does not make sense in terms of time."
Chen Yunsheng opened his eyes wide and asked doubtfully: "You mean, maybe the Hermit is not dead yet?"
Liu Xiaoshan was amused by Chen Yunsheng's expression, and said with a smile: "I didn't say that he is not dead yet. After all, it has been a hundred thousand years. I don't know anyone in the world who can be immortal for a hundred thousand years."
"Then what do you mean?" Chen Yunsheng asked.
Liu Xiaoshan said: "I mean this skeleton is not the Hermit's own. It may be that of one of his friends. Or it may be part of an important ceremony. In short, it is the key to this matter."
"What about the shrunken golden skeletons? What role do you think these shrunken skeletons played in this incident?" Chen Yunsheng asked.
Liu Xiaoshan pointed at Chen Yunsheng's forehead and said, "How come Mr. Chen can't think for himself now? Breaking the magic circle in the dark prison is very impressive."
Chen Yunsheng looked at Liu Xiaoshan's two crescent-shaped eyebrows fondly, and said with a smile: "How can I compare to Miss Mingyue who planted the root of wisdom in this matter? I would like to ask Miss Mingyue to give me some advice."
A blush appeared on Liu Xiaoshan's face, and she said: "Why have I become Miss Mingyue again? You are not allowed to scream."
Chen Yunsheng made a silent gesture and waited expectantly for Liu Xiaoshan's speech.
Liu Xiaoshan smiled and said: "Maybe we put the focus in the wrong place at the beginning of this matter. That little skeleton may not be the real key. The Hermit must want to tell us something, but he chose a puzzle instead of
Tell me directly, I believe there is a reason. When I was in Guangming Valley, I thought about the sequence of this matter over and over again, and the more I felt that there was something wrong with the location where the golden skull was stored."
"Are you referring to the ruins where these skeletons are buried?" Chen Yunsheng asked.
Liu Xiaoshan nodded and said: "Yes, there is a problem with the location of these ruins."
She unfolded the entire map of Cathay and placed a small piece of spiritual stone at each location where the golden skulls were stored. When Liu Xiaoshan put down the last spiritual stone, Chen Yunsheng suddenly understood. It turned out that these four locations were in a regular pattern on the map.
The four vertices of a square.
"Perhaps the key is not the golden skull itself, but the location where the golden skull is buried. If the Sea of Annihilation, Divine Power Peak, Sumeru Pagoda, and Star Palace are the four vertices of a square, then I am very curious about what is in the center of the square."
As Liu Xiaoshan spoke, he drew two diagonal lines on the four vertices, and placed a small spiritual stone above the position where the two diagonal lines crossed each other. The spiritual stone emitted a dim light, and under this light
Under the illumination, the words "Bahuang" on the map appeared to flicker.
"The center point of the square is on the Bahuang Continent." Chen Yunsheng said those two words smoothly.
"It's in Bahuang, but it's a bit ominous. If I'm not mistaken, this place should be relatively close to the Shura Sect's main altar. Maybe three to five thousand miles away." Liu Xiaoshan added.
Chen Yunsheng looked at the strong morning glow in front of him and said calmly: "Now we have two choices. Tell Monk Tianyuan about this discovery and let him make the decision, or we can find out for ourselves."
Liu Xiaoshan smiled slyly and said: "Of course I won't give it to him. We shed blood and sweat to crack the secret of the Hermit. This old monk can't just sit back and enjoy the success."
Chen Yunsheng looked at the woman with some confusion, and said worriedly: "There won't be any problem with this, right? After all, this hermit is a great monk of the generation. Can we really afford what he left behind?"
Liu Xiaoshan pouted and said: "You are just a bad person. The Hermit God is a guardian and is of the same line as your master. Will he still harm the successors of the guardian? I think the Hermit God intends to pass some kind of inheritance
To the person who discovered this secret. So this person must be you. I don’t think Tian Yuan has any good intentions in this matter."
Seeing Liu Xiaoshan's almost mean look, Chen Yunsheng felt warm in his heart. People can only speak like this after they have a stand. He felt that even if the whole world betrayed him, Liu Xiaoshan would be his last supporter and would not be able to meet him.
With such a partner, I will have no regrets in this life.
"Okay, we can set off. The target is Bahuang."
Chen Yunsheng changed the direction of Chuanyun Boat, and the bow of the boat turned at an angle to the east. The sun was shining brighter in this direction, and the blood-like sunlight made both people's faces turn red.
…
Mianzhou Chongfa Temple.
The Wanli Bodhi Forest was once again hung with crystal clear white bodhi silk. In the sea of white silk, Monk Tianyuan’s old body and light blue shabby monk robe were incompatible with such a spectacular scenery. He slowly opened the
His eyes seemed to see through everything, and there was a knowing smile on his face, but a knot formed between his eyebrows.
At this time, a head poked out from behind him, and Wu Nian's eternally young face appeared behind Tian Yuan. He said with a smile: "Master, you have been in seclusion for so long, have you seen anything?"
Tianyuan glanced at him and said agedly: "You are always so elusive and startled, how can an old man like me endure it?"
Wu Nian said seriously: "Chen Yunsheng also said this. But the disciple didn't feel that he scared anyone."
"You want to ask for news about him?" Tian Yuan turned around and faced his disciple, his eyes seemed to see through Wu Nian's heart.
Wu Nian nodded honestly, "Disciple is indeed a little concerned about his current situation. It is said that he has been imprisoned by the Star Palace, and his life and death are uncertain. I don't know whether it is true or not."
"It's true that he was captured by the Star Palace, but he has already escaped from the Star Palace."
"He is quite capable. In this way, he should have collected all the parts of the Golden Skeleton. This is really lucky! Did Master use Buddha's eyes to see when they will come back?" Wu Nian showed a relaxed smile on his face.
Tianyuan shook his head, spread out his palms the size of cattail leaf fans, and said helplessly: "I'm afraid they won't be back in a short time."
Wu Nian's smile faltered and he asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"
Tianyuan stared at the northern sky and said: "They solved the mystery and went to where they should go. Will they be back soon?"
"In this case, the possibility of Cathay escaping the disaster should have increased." Wu Nian said with concern.
The wrinkles on Tianyuan's face deepened, and he said in an almost whispering tone: "It's not easy to improve from one ten thousandth to two ten thousandths."
"Obviously there are only so few. What's the use?" Wu Nian scratched his head and said dissatisfied.
Tianyuan chuckled and said: "Little monk, what else are you dissatisfied with? The possibility has doubled, which is already quite difficult. This is the first time in three hundred years that this number has increased."
"Then will this matter develop as Master wishes?" Wu Nian continued to ask.
Tianyuan was silent for a long time and sighed: "Is my wish that important? It can only be said that this matter is developing in a direction that is beneficial to thousands of living things in Cathay. Birds, fish, insects, animals in the forest, which life
It’s not life.”
"Does Master not want them to reveal the final secret of the Golden Skull?" Wu Nian's tone contained a hint of urgency.
Tian Yuan stretched out his hand to brush a piece of Bodhi silk and said slowly: "From a emotional point of view, I certainly don't want them to uncover the final answer. After all, what awaits them is a terrible horror. From a rational point of view, it is right for them to do this.
All living beings in the world are beneficial. As long as they can succeed, the chances of this world being saved from destruction will be hundreds of times greater. I must make this happen."
"Back then, you thought they would uncover the secret of the Golden Skull by themselves, didn't you?" Wu Nian asked.
Tian Yuan lowered his eyebrows and said, "This is not calculated, but inferred based on the temperament of that girl Liu Xiaoshan. There are many things I can see, but there are also many things I cannot see, including that Liu Xiaoshan."
"Master, can I go help them?" Wu Nian said urgently, this tone rarely appeared in his words.
Tianyuan said stiffly: "You stay in Chongfa Temple to practice faithfully. You will be useful in the future."
…
Bahuang is in the northeast of Southern Mongolia and has to cross a long and narrow strait. This strait is part of the Shinra Sea. Cathay has six independent continents, and between the six continents is boundless, which is larger than the land area.
The ocean is several times larger. The ocean was originally connected as one, but was artificially divided into four, the East Sea, the Infinity Sea, the Sea of Annihilation, and the Shinra Sea.
In Southern Mongolia, walking north across the Shenluo Sea is the Bahuang Continent, and walking west across this ocean is the Shanlan Continent. It took Liu Xiaoshan and Chen Yunsheng a full month to fly from the center of Southern Mongolia to
The entrance to the sea in the northeast. In order to avoid encountering the monks from the Star Palace along the way, they tried to walk through some wilderness areas, which also delayed a lot of time.
By the time they arrived at the mouth of the sea, it was already the coldest day of winter. The dark waters of the Shinra Sea were billowing with white waves from time to time, giving off a very deep chill.
Chen Yunsheng glanced south and said: "I hope we never have to come to this land of Southern Mongolia. What happened on this land makes me very uncomfortable."
Liu Xiaoshan hummed and said softly: "I hope this is true as the old monk said, and our hard journey will not be in vain."
Chen Yunsheng said thoughtfully: "I have been thinking about one thing these days, but I can't figure it out. Let me tell you now. I don't understand why Zuo Sitian killed those innocent prisoners that day.
, why did you kill Kuimulang, and why did you let me go?"
