Chapter 294: Reincarnation and inheritance

In the darkness behind, a large number of powerful monsters surged out like a tide, roaring and roaring, rushing towards the group of sword emperors who had killed countless monsters. Moreover, the worst thing is that these high-level monsters were like crazy, and as soon as they came up, they attacked various elementals!

Ice arrows, weapons, fireballs, fire snakes, ground thorns, huge rocks... overwhelmingly, these elemental attacks are not like ordinary fireballs, and they are not threatening to high-level warriors. The elemental attacks emitted by these monsters are all mixed with huge elemental power, and even the powerful Sword Emperor dare not take them head-on!

Ling Xiao's eyes were as lightning as lightning. In this dark environment, he was not affected at all. He led Song Mingyue and Shangguan Yutong to rush in one direction at an extremely fast speed. However, after following Ling Xiao and the others, Qin Zhaoran grabbed the clothes and took them back.

The three weak people ran away, and Qin Zhaoran would not care about life or death. But the Gu family disciples were the biggest reliance they could leave here, and everyone saw the Gu family disciples coming in with them. If they died here, the Qin family would be unable to argue. The Qin family might rule the world in the future and unify the aristocratic sects, but that was the future, not the present!

Therefore, they still have to protect the lives of the disciples of the Gu family!

After a while, the traces of Ling Xiao and the other two had long been lost. Qin Zhaoran looked back at the tide of high-level monsters, thinking in his heart that the giant net, I, the Qin family, must get it!

If my Qin family can't get it... then I will blow it up here with my own hands! If the Qin family can't get it, no one else can... I can't imagine it!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhaoran loudly greeted his people and surrounded him, and the same was true for the other families. Qin Zhaoran glanced at the disciples of the three Jingwu family. In the dark, he saw that elegance and arrogance would disappear from their faces, and replaced by a deep fear. He sneered in his heart: Now you know how to be scared? A few little kids who don’t know the world! Your Jingwu family... will sooner or later be the stepping stone for the Qin family!

Most of the people here are powerful people with the strength of the Sword Emperor. Although they are on the run, they are not panic. Occasionally, a few people turn back together to attack the faster monsters. Several sword emperors work together to attack with one blow, and the monster will be killed on the spot.

In this way, a large group of elite and powerful people from various aristocratic families were chased by a group of high-level monsters and fled in a panic. If the world knew about this, it would be shocked to fall off the chin!

...

"Where are we going?"

Song Mingyue was curious because her ears were getting farther and farther away from those people. Ling Xiao held Shangguan Yutong with one hand and dragged her with the other hand. He had already run wildly for a cup of tea. Even the roars of beasts on the other side sounded very blurred like a tsunami. Obviously, the three of them embarked on a completely different path for those people.

"They don't know where the right path is. What kind of thing can they do when they follow them?"

Shangguan Yutong was almost clamped under Ling Xiao's armpits, and she was very shy. Fortunately, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything, otherwise she would have to be ashamed.

Song Mingyue thought about it and it was the same, but based on his usual understanding of Ling Xiao, Song Mingyue always felt that Ling Xiao was not the kind of person who was panicked when encountering trouble. Judging from his running route, it seemed that he also confirmed this point. Ling Xiao did not run around, but seemed to be looking for something.

"We... want to find something." Ling Xiao led Shangguan Yutong and Song Mingyue to run wildly for so long, and the true energy in his body was running rapidly without feeling tired at all. As he said, his speed slowed down, staring at a huge pillar in front of him, and then stopped.

"It's so strange, why didn't those monsters chase us?" Song Mingyue seemed to be talking to herself. Indeed, the three of them ran at a speed that was not faster than those Sword Emperor's powerful men, nor much earlier than them, but they did not keep chasing the monsters in their direction.

"Yes, something is wrong!"

Shangguan Yutong, who was let down by Ling Xiao, sorted out her emotions and said softly. It was just at this time that she could hide her shyness.

"There is nothing wrong, because there are those things that monsters are afraid of here, and they don't dare to come here!" Ling Xiao said with great certainty, and then circled around the pillar in front of him where the two people hugged each other and touched something.

"Ah, then we are still here, wouldn't we fall into the trap?" Shangguan Yutong said in surprise.

Song Mingyue could barely see the pillar clearly, which seemed to be slightly different from the others. It was slim and carved something, but because it was too dark, she couldn't see it clearly. After hearing Shangguan Yutong's words, Song Mingyue retorted: "The more dangerous the place is, the more likely it is to have good things!"

Shangguan Yutong was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's the same argument as that girl Ling Su."

Finally, Ling Xiao's hand stayed in a place, pressing it in, and said with a smile: "You are not curious, where do so many monsters come from? And... why don't they come here?"

"Yes, why?" Song Mingyue walked over, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter in the darkness.

"Those monsters are all puppet monsters!" Ling Xiao said casually, and finally pressed his hand completely in!

With a blink of an eye, a door was silently cut open in front of Ling Xiao's eyes, and a black hole appeared, and there was no sound at all!

Seeing this, Song Mingyue felt that her hair suddenly appeared, and a pure cold feeling made her shiver.

"This...what is this?"

Shangguan Yutong also came over at this time. Her eyesight was not invisible, but she was blurry and saw a door appearing on the pillar.

"You'll know when you go in and take a look." Ling Xiao was very calm. In fact, he was not sure. He had been guessing just now that there was a strange smell everywhere in this ancient ruin. From the winding and endless street lights above at the beginning, to the sudden collapse of the road surface, the depth like an abyss below, and to the strange and strange room, there seemed to be a treasure in each room.

Then there is a hall full of gold and crystal cores... In the end, it was buried by a pile of huge rocks. Imagine that if a person with a slightly weak strength and too greedy heart has experienced these, his life will probably reach the end. If he doesn't die like this, then it's great, there are still thousands of high-level puppet monsters waiting below. This is something that no one can imagine, but the people who designed this place probably wouldn't have expected that such a powerful team would come here at the same time!

If only a few powerful men like the Sword Emperor Sword Sect had come down, they would have died without a burial place! Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but burst into a cold sweat. The person who designed this place was so cruel and very rare!

It seems that this place was not originally prepared for future generations!

Unlike the ruins discovered by his sister Ling Su, it is purely a place for people to study and practice in ancient times. Even if there are mechanisms inside, it was designed to prevent outsiders from entering. It does not mean to target hundreds or thousands of years later.

Therefore, Ling Xiao guessed at that time that this place was not an ancient ruin! It was a place specially opened by a powerful person or family in ancient times, with a special effect! He never thought that such a place would be opened to future generations. Those golden statues would rather be buried with huge rocks than be taken away. From this, the owner's thoughts can be seen.

In addition to the thousands of puppet monsters here, Ling Xiao suddenly had a guess, would this be a place specially used by a certain family in ancient times for experiments! Because if there were only one or two puppet monsters, it could be explained that it was specially used by a strong man to guard the place, but there were so many... The only explanation is only one, that is, what do someone want to use these groups of monsters to do!

In the end, before taking action, something suddenly happened. I hurriedly closed the place, and then set up countless mechanisms, and everyone was gone. This is one reason why I have not seen a human wreckage so far, so this is not a cemetery.

Ling Xiao’s purpose is to find a place to control all mechanisms and monsters!

Ling Xiao had learned very complicatedly. Although he was not profound in the mechanism, he could at least reach the level of proficiency. In addition, after the golden elixir was perfected, he looked at the night as if it were during the day. Ling Xiao found a strange dark note. If it weren't for his eyesight, it would be impossible to see the bright lights in this place! Because the underground space is more than 20 meters high! There are complicated patterns on the top of his head. If you don't look carefully, you can't find the dark note that looks like a direction!

While running away, Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and followed this guide and came to this place. Now it seems that he was right!

The three of them entered the pillar, as if a metal door was closed silently. At the same time, a soft light lit up from the three people's heads, and then with a light sound, the ground under the three people's feet began to fall down. Both women were slightly nervous, not knowing what would be greeted.

Not long after, about a dozen kung fu, the space carrying them stopped, and then the door in front of him was opened, and the lights suddenly turned on, and the sudden brightness made the three people who had been used to the darkness almost unable to open their eyes. Ling Xiao's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of golden yellow, and two substantial lights were shot out. The light in front of him darkened for a moment.

When Song Mingyue and Shangguan Yutong both adapted to the brightness in front of them, they were surprised to find that the place they are now is also an underground hall! Different from the above, this square hall is only more than 20 meters long and looks much smaller!

Moreover, there was a very thick pillar in the middle, which was the one that brought the three of them down. The height of the hall was only five or six meters. Every time there was a huge crystal chandelier on it, it emitted a bright and dazzling light, illuminating all the hairs! I don’t know what kind of crystal core can provide their energy for so many years, or is it that the space inside the pillar was activated and the light came down below.

The three of them faced each other with a huge statue of gods for them, which was also made of gold, and was more than three meters high! It was placed there like a god, giving people a huge sense of oppression.

"This, this statue seems to be similar to the statues that were just crushed by huge rocks!" Shangguan Yutong said with a frown slightly. No one was too imaginative. The main reason why those golden statues looked like they were carved by ordinary humans! There were men and women, and there were no exaggerated movements or costumes, and there were very few weapons in their hands.

The reason why this in front of me subconsciously thinks it is a statue of god when I see it is because this huge golden statue exudes a sense of pressure at all times! It makes people feel worshiped from the bottom of my heart!

Ling Xiao frowned slightly and walked closer. There was a table in front of the statue. On the table was a scroll and a long sword with a simple appearance. There was nothing else except that.

Ling Xiao walked closer and reached out to pick up the scroll on the table. Song Mingyue and Shangguan Yutong looked around nervously, afraid that some terrifying mechanism would appear.

"Haha, I've already arrived here, and no mechanism is actually meaningless!" Ling Xiao explained with a smile: "No strong man likes to mess up where he is staying." As he said that, he unfolded the scroll in his hand.

There was a painting above, which depicted a woman with a handsome appearance, tall figure, and a long white gauze dress that looked like a fairy, but Ling Xiao and the two women who were surrounded were stunned.

Because the painting is actually Shangguan Yutong!... Or, the woman on this painting looks exactly the same as Shangguan Yutong!

When I looked at this scroll again, Ling Xiao had also seen it. It was the kind of magic scroll-specific paper that was only found in ancient times! The manufacturing process of this paper has been lost for tens of thousands of years!

In other words, although the woman in the painting is exactly the same as Shangguan Yutong, it is absolutely impossible for her to be painted!

"Sister Shangguan, what's going on? Could it be... this ruin was left by the ancestors of your family?" Song Mingyue asked in surprise. When she turned her head, she saw Shangguan Yutong's eyes were a little dull, her eyes were red, and her teeth were biting her lower lip with her body, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was trying her best to control her emotions.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Song Mingyue asked softly, because she saw Shangguan Yutong very sadly, and this strange portrait gave people a feeling that was not very real.

Shangguan Yutong stretched out her hand and took the painting from Ling Xiao's hand. Her green jade fingers trembled slightly, and she muttered to herself: "It's really true, it's really true!"

"Huh?" Ling Xiao suddenly saw in surprise that after the scroll reached Shangguan Yutong's hand, eight big words of dragons and phoenixes appeared in the blank space in the upper left corner!

Appearance is born from the heart and is reincarnated and inherited!

"What... what does this mean?" Ling Xiao frowned and asked. Even if he practiced in his previous life, he was no stranger to reincarnation. However, when he arrived in Canglan Continent, he saw the word reincarnation in his writing materials for the first time! Moreover, Ling Xiao could not analyze what these eight words meant at all.

This made Ling Xiao feel a little uncomfortable. He has always liked to take things into his own hands. Many things that are extremely dangerous in the eyes of others, such as entering the Vatican Snow Mountain, one of the ten forbidden areas in the mainland. Because Ling Xiao knew his abilities very well, he could avoid most monsters. On the contrary, for Ling Xiao at that time, humans were even more dangerous. Therefore, he dared to enter the Great Snow Mountain, dared to enter the Pengzes swamp, and dared to embark on the road to the polar ice sea.

Although it cannot be said that there is no danger at all, at least Ling Xiao can basically know what may happen.

But here, Ling Xiao felt like he was controlled by others for the first time!

Shangguan Yutong suddenly spoke and said with a slight silence: "Ling Xiao, do you know why my sister left the family since she was a child and never went back?"

Ling Xiao shook his head. Shangguan Yutong's origin has always been a mystery. Ling Xiao only knew that the family behind her was also a big family. In addition, he only knew that Shangguan Yutong's teacher was Baihua Sect, who went to school at Imperial College and then stayed at school to teach. He was elegant and cold in front of others and enthusiastic in front of himself, but Shangguan Yutong rarely mentioned the affairs of his family.

"My family is an ancient aristocratic family! The family is not big, and there are some powerful people at the Sword Emperor level. Like other aristocratic sects, there are also some secret methods to improve their strength." Shangguan Yutong said, with a look of pride on his face.

Song Mingyue was slightly stunned, thinking that no wonder she always felt that Shangguan Yutong had a similar aura on her body. It turned out that she was also from a great family, and there were some strong people at the level of Sword Emperor... Then it could not be a small family! It was just Shangguan Yutong's modesty!

"However, my family has a legend, and it is also a spell! It has been since ancient times!" Shangguan Yutong said this, and glanced at the statue with a complicated look in his eyes: "It is said that it was the ancestor of the Shangguan family. It was once extremely powerful and a kind of martial art practiced. This martial art can be passed down from generation to generation! Even... it can be passed down from generation to generation! It is like an awakening. Every thousand years, the person selected will naturally awaken. Then, in a short period of time, there will be a great breakthrough! It is possible to break through to the realm of the Sword Emperor within more than ten years!"

"That's a good thing! How could it be a curse?"

Song Mingyue asked curiously.

"If it's just like this, of course it's a rare good thing!" Shangguan Yutong sighed and said, "The problem is that no one who is selected can live beyond thirty years old."

"Ah, what's going on?" Song Mingyue was shocked.

"Haha, I don't know either. Anyway, judging from the family records, there is no disciple who has obtained the inheritance to escape this spell! There are already more than a dozen, all of them are this fate. No matter how they die, they never survived over thirty years old!"

"Sister, you... are also selected disciples who accept inheritance?" Song Mingyue looked puzzled, because according to Shangguan Yutong, the selected disciples will be very strong, but why is Shangguan Yutong still less than the cultivation level of the Demon Sword Master?

Shangguan Yutong smiled bitterly and said, "I should be the one selected, because the person in the selected family was born every year, and the time of birth was exactly the same! But because my parents loved me, in order to make me avoid this inheritance, I sent me to my master after I was born, and the master was from the Lengning Palace, so I entered the Lengning Palace. Indeed, I have not obtained any inheritance, and for so many years, nothing has come to me. So, in another seven or eight years, when I am over thirty years old, if I can live so old, I can return to the family! Then, this curse will naturally be resolved! It proves one thing that as long as I leave the family, I can avoid the curse!"

"Then...what is going on?" Song Mingyue pointed at the scroll in Shangguan Yutong's hand.

"Oh, what should be come, I can't hide it. The appearance is born from my heart... Haha," Shangguan Yutong smiled helplessly and said, "Before Ling Xiao took this scroll, there was no portrait on it. Because I am here, so... the image of my image appeared in the portrait. In other words, this statue should be an ancestor of my Shangguan family, and it is very likely... it is also the source of the curse."

Ling Xiao then understood why Shangguan Yutong's expression on her face was so complicated when she saw this golden statue. When she saw her ancestors, she should kneel down, but when facing that curse, if she could still face it calmly and not complain about her ancestors... that would be a ghost!

"Sister, can this curse be not brought down by your ancestors, but... your enemy?" Song Mingyue, who was born in a big family, also has some knowledge of some legendary things. Moreover, she doesn't believe that someone will curse her descendants!

No matter how vicious and cruel the monster is, it will not eat its own children, let alone the human beings who are the head of the lark.

Shangguan Yutong shook her head slightly. She didn't know, but she finally did not escape the fate of accepting inheritance, and even came to the statue of her ancestors!

Shangguan Yutong closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed out. He held the scroll with both hands and knelt in front of the golden statue. Suddenly, a huge but gentle force pushed Ling Xiao and Song Mingyue away. Then, a golden and dazzling light suddenly burst out from the golden statue, covering Shangguan Yutong!

Ling Xiao wanted to break in, and a wave of overwhelming force suddenly hit Ling Xiao's body. At the same time, he heard a low shout: "You have obtained the Shangguan family's treasure, the golden moonlight armor, how can you interrupt the inheritance? Retreat!"

Ling Xiao's body was like a kite with a broken string, and it flew out, hit the wall behind it, and then fell down.

Song Mingyue rushed over, looked at Ling Xiao with a look of horror and said, "Husband...you, are you okay?"
To be continued...
