Chapter 107: Tower of Sequence

When Xu Nian woke up, the sky was already shrouded in darkness, and the moon was hanging high in the sky, emitting dazzling silver-gray.

He looked around and saw a figure sitting cross-legged in front of a bonfire not far away, quietly looking at the flames, not knowing what he was doing.

He recognized the other person, it was the Fuxing Shadow he had seen before. Although his entire face was covered by a black headscarf, his figure could not deceive him.

"You are awake."

Fuxing Shadow's voice was still full of magnetism, making it impossible to tell whether the other person was a man or a woman.

Xu Nian shook his head to make himself more awake, then slowly sat up and looked at his arms and body. There were only a few shallow white marks.

"Your body has a good ability to recover, and the antidote is very effective."

Xu Nian was startled, frowned, got up and walked to the opposite side of the bonfire and sat down. The heat emitted by the flames made him feel warm all over.

"I found that you all like to sit by the bonfire. Is there any special meaning?"

Thinking of the last time he woke up, his wife was also sitting by the bonfire, and he couldn't help but sneer.

"You guys?"

"Yes, my wife."

"I see."

Fuxing Ying remembered Xu Nian's illness and stopped asking questions. Instead, he said softly, "The wilderness is a very dangerous place. Sitting by the campfire will save you from a lot of unnecessary trouble. I'm just used to it."

Xu Nian was stunned and asked in surprise, "Have you been to the wilderness?"

"Haha, you should ask me what I think of the wilderness?"

Fuxing Ying looked up at Xu Nian and chuckled, "Okay, let's not talk about this. If you can rest, come with me into the Sequence Tower."

Xu Nian was startled and looked around quickly. He found that this was still the ruins of the temple on the top of the mountain, so he frowned and said, "Sequence Tower? Where is it?"

"Under your feet."

Fuxing Ying said meaningfully.

Xu Nian looked at the ground around him in astonishment. Sure enough, he found a square underground entrance ten meters to the west, and vaguely saw a long downward staircase.

"Why didn't I find it before? I remember"

"You remember that there is a broken golden statue of Buddha here, right?" Fuxing Ying looked at him calmly.

Xu Nian was startled, and noticed the golden statue of Buddha thrown aside casually, and said strangely: "Is this how you treat the golden statue of Buddha?"

Fu Xingzhiying laughed: "Didn't you just kill a believer of Buddha?"

Xu Nian rolled his eyes and muttered: "That monk is not a believer of Buddha at all, he is obviously parasitized by the corpse meat king, and he is not even a human being."

"Huh? Since you know that thing is a corpse meat king, how dare you let it bite? Don't you know how terrible scarlet corruption is?"

Fu Xingzhiying shook his head, seeming to be a little speechless about Xu Nian's performance.

Xu Nian was speechless and choked, and changed the subject: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about this sequence tower. This place should be very important, right? Why is there no one defending it? Aren't you afraid that someone with ulterior motives will break in?"

"Hehe, how do you know that there is no one defending here? Also, every day after midnight, the mysterious energy will erupt on a large scale, and the alien creatures on this mountain will continue to evolve. Even if someone knows about this place, they have to get rid of these alien creatures first."

Xu Nian's mind suddenly appeared the group of upright monkeys he had seen before, and he said with a strange look: "Are you talking about those monkeys?"

"That was just something I deliberately missed to test you. The really scary ones have been led away by me in advance."

The crouching shadow looked at the sky, stood up and said: "Okay, it's almost time. If we don't go in, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

As he said, he walked towards the square entrance in the distance.

Xu Nian hesitated, but still followed.

The square entrance is not big, about two or three meters long and wide. The steps lead to the darkness, and it is impossible to tell how deep it is.

The shadow of crouching glanced at Xu Nian, and then walked down very calmly, as if the darkness in front of him did not exist at all.

Xu Nian was not so arrogant. He lifted the lantern on his waist, and his spiritual power surged, and the flames immediately illuminated the surroundings.

Since he knew that the soul-guiding lamp recognized the master, he found that he could use his spiritual power to control this artifact. He couldn't control it before, and it might be because of the resistance of the lamp mentioned by Siyu.

Speaking of this soul-guiding lamp, the effect is quite good. Although it is basically an auxiliary role, it is very practical whether it is gathering spirits, swallowing spirits, replenishing spirits, or gathering spirits.

Especially the ability of gathering spirits, in Siyu's words, it can give the ash spirits a space to survive, which is equivalent to helping him, the master, obtain an unlimited number of ash spirits in disguise.

Of course, since the power of the soul-guiding lamp is very weak now, there can only be a maximum of four ash spirits in it.

Including Song Siyu, his wife, and his son, he can get another Ember Spirit.

This is already a very powerful ability. After all, if other people want to get the Ember Spirit, they must not only use the black magic of the Corpse Eater Cult, but also use their own spiritual bodies to provide the Ember Spirit with the source of soul power. It is already very difficult to control one or two.

Therefore, after knowing this from Siyu, he even had the idea of ​​becoming a "summoner".

According to Siyu, the Soul Lamp also agreed with his idea.

But he did not agree, and even silently determined an idea in his heart that no matter how many ash spirits the soul-guiding lamp could accommodate, he must rely on his own strength as the foundation.

In the final analysis, he did not have much trust in the soul-guiding lamp, a self-aware artifact.

You see, he is already the third owner of the other party.

Just like that, walking down all the way, Fuxing Ying led the way without saying a word, Xu Nian held the lamp and thought about his own thoughts, except for the slight sound of footsteps, he did not say a word.

Suddenly, Fuxing Ying stopped and said lightly: "We are here."

Xu Nian was stunned, and then saw Fuxing Ying blowing a breath around, and in an instant, flames lit up all around, illuminating the surroundings.

Only then did he see the surrounding environment clearly.

It turned out to be a temple-like space, with various Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat statues engraved on the surrounding walls. In the center of the hall stood a lotus platform, and a gray stone tablet-like thing was placed on the platform.

The stone tablet was about the size of a wash basin, with densely packed small characters on it. He couldn't understand any of them. It was obviously some ancient text.

"This is..."

Xu Nian was surprised.

"This tower is called Xuantian Tower. It existed before the disaster. The exact date of its construction is unknown. There are nine floors in total, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, from the ninth floor to the first floor. After discovering this place, we placed the nine old stone slabs here in order. Now there is only this ninth slab left."

Fu Xingzhiying looked at the stone tablet on the lotus platform calmly.
