The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 665 The Long-Lost Ancient Puzzle

Obviously, the entrance to the Cui family's secret realm is in the ancestral temple, and the bronze hall where Qinghe and Longque were once placed is right next to it. It can be regarded as taking Longque back to his old home.

It's a pity that Longque doesn't seem to have the interest to revisit his old place. He lies in the ring and learns to be a turtle, without saying a word. Beside him is a Xinghe, like a little doll lying beside his sister, curiously accompanying her to look at the surrounding scenery.

As for why a sword and a knife quietly in the ring can give Zhao Changhe such a feeling...it's really not because of perversion, but because after the battle with Huanghuang, the image of the sword spirit has become more and more obvious. Zhao Changhe can almost see the illusion of the human shadow overlapping the sword, just like two children lying there looking out.

If this goes on, will he dare to use them to fight with others with swords and swords in the future? Why do I feel that I can't do it, especially Xinghe is just a baby in swaddling clothes...

Who designed the concept of sword spirits? It's really stupid.

But thinking about the final form of Ling, the blind man, who can independently make trouble outside, I feel relieved. It should be said that I am ahead of the world in this direction, and I have gone further than Xia Longyuan... Maybe it is because of the long-term contact with the blind man?

As the thought flashed through my mind, Cui Wenjing had already opened the door to the secret realm. With a feeling of space distortion, the environment in front of me changed drastically. Outside is the peaceful and quiet Qinghe County, but inside is an underground secret cave with an extremely strange atmosphere.

The inside is gloomy and staggered, quite huge, surrounded by jagged rocks, jagged teeth, and gives people a hideous and terrifying impression just visually. The aura is extremely fierce, and walking in it is a kind of fear and trembling, which reminds Zhao Changhe of his own blood evil - this must be a similar evil demon, and the evil spirit formed by the slaughter of countless lives is lingering and eternal.

Excluding the natural bias caused by inheriting Lie's martial arts, and excluding his heroic spirit of slashing at the sky at the end, Lie is this kind of evil demon, bloody, brutal and cruel, killing people very much. Rather than being a blood god, it should be said to be a blood demon.

And the one buried here is also a typical evil demon.

But there is also a very neutral and righteous aura here, which is dense and dense, suppressing this ferocity, so that it will not harm the people who enter, and will not spread out.

The further you go in, the hotter it gets below, just like the belly of the volcano at the beginning, which should be like being in a furnace. And under the neutralization of that aura, this heat is not uncomfortable, but like turning on the air conditioner in summer.

This aura is the meaning of the Qinghe Sword... This river and mountain meaning, suppressing evil and driving away demons, illuminating the monsters, has never disappeared because of the collapse of a sword.

There are several old men sitting cross-legged at the intersection below. They seem to be the elders of the Cui family who are guarding the family's secret place. They also practice with the Qinghe Qi here. Even the Gusu Lu family had their own place of practice. It is impossible for the Qinghe Cui family to practice on the ground with the same conditions as ordinary people. When Yangyang passed some test of his family, it should be here.

And these old men... although they are not recorded in the chaotic list, they also practice in secret places. Perhaps they have not competed with others for a long time, and there is no record in the chaotic list. But they definitely have the strength of the human list. The list of only a hundred people cannot include the heroes in the world.

This is the terrifying foundation of the top family.

Of course, the more top masters, the harder it is to have. This thing is not something that can be produced by having a foundation. The foundation guarantees that the backbone is not weaker than others, and the birth of top masters requires various conditions. In the background of no immortality, it is difficult for a Cui family ancestor to emerge inexplicably.

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

It seems that what happened on the ground has long been connected to here, and these dying old men obeyed the family's decision.

Cui Wenjing said: "Is everything normal inside?"

"The Qinghe purple aura has become slightly weaker. If there is no Qinghe sword, it will dissipate in a few decades."

Cui Wenjing nodded: "We will recast the magic sword, everyone stay on the road, and anyone who enters without permission will be killed without mercy!"

The old men's eyes were full of ecstasy, and they bowed and said: "I obey the order of the master of the family."

The old men made way for the passage, and Zhao Changhe followed Cui Wenjing around the path in front, and the view in front of him suddenly opened up.

Ahead was a red magma hell, with flames bubbling everywhere and about to erupt. The magma could still vaguely see the broken bones dissolved in it, and it was unknown how much time had passed before it was completely annihilated.

There is also a small mountain island in the center of the magma, and there is a cave in the mountain. This environment is obviously the place where a demon god in ancient times practiced in the cave, and the evil spirit is emitted from it.

The majestic purple air spreads throughout the space, floating on the magma river, like a clear river flowing, calming the boiling magma. The location with the most concentrated purple air is at the entrance of the cave, which is almost as tightly covered as a seal.

Cui Wenjing introduced: "Around this atmosphere, we have built many family trial places, so I won’t introduce them one by one. This cave is not complicated. It’s just that an ancient evil demon was killed here by the Qinghe Sword. After the ancestors discovered this place, they buried the bones, took the Qinghe Sword, received many ancient inheritances, and the whole family sat here..."

Zhao Changhe said: "Where are the bones buried?"

"The bottom of the magma." Cui Wenjing said: "Most of the magma is the bones of the ancients killed by this evil demon, and he himself was buried in it. I know you are worried about his resurrection. This one is really dead and no longer a threat."

Zhao Changhe nodded. According to the law of the secret realm, this secret realm should be caused by the Qinghe Sword, not the evil demon. The evil demon is most likely really dead, and died before the collapse of the era. He was confused about the original owner of the Qinghe Sword. According to Cui Wenjing, there is nothing to do without the original owner. Where is the original owner?

Cui Wenjing knew his confusion: "The original owner of Qinghe is indeed unknown, and according to the records left by the ancestors, Qinghe recognized the owner very directly, and it seems that there was no original owner."

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

He felt that this place was a little familiar. He would check the "Shanhe Atlas" later to see if there was any record of the ancient Xuanwu.

Exploring the secrets of the ancient times is actually Zhao Changhe's main task, but it was done too scattered and has not been connected to a line so far. The secret realm of the Cui family suddenly made Zhao Changhe feel that the process of unifying the world is essentially the path to complete this main line, and Lao Xia just didn't play by the rules.

It was really strange for a blind man to meet Old Xia.

Cui Wenjing said: "In short, our ancestors settled here to multiply their tribe. Although they wanted to find a place with richer spiritual energy than the outside world, they were mainly worried that there would be some chaos caused by the resurrection of evil spirits. We have a responsibility to deal with it. After all, this is like sitting on the crater of a volcano. Their sense of responsibility is still very strong. Qinghe's recognition of the master is probably related to this. At present, the possibility of the resurrection of evil spirits is extremely small. I wonder if there will be any changes after the remaining purple air here dissipates."

The three flew past, through the magma and went straight to the cave. The cave is also divided into many areas. The three did not waste time and went straight to the forging area.

Sure enough, there was a rising underground fire. There should have been some weapons and treasures around, but they had been taken away by the Cui family long ago. But there was a forge standing alone in the original place. This was because it was directly related to the underground fire. There was no point in moving it, so it was left here for the Cui family to forge swords. There was a lot of traffic, and it was not an absolutely forbidden place. There were also many traces of casting in recent years next to it.

Judging from this scene, the resurrection of the evil spirits that the ancestors of the Cui family were worried about has probably been forgotten by modern people. This place has become a treasure land for the clan.

It was ironic that they began to get nervous after the Qinghe sword broke, fearing that the sword breaking would cause a series of chain reactions.

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

Everyone regarded Zhao Changhe as an expert, but in fact Zhao Changhe really didn't know much about fire. He was asking for a strategy at this time: "Blind, is this fire enough?"

The blind man ignored him.

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

The lazily lying Longque suddenly jumped up: "With this miscellaneous fire! It can't even melt my knife tassel!"

Zhao Changhe looked up and confirmed to Cui Wenjing: "Yes."
