Chapter 19
When he came to the northwest corner of the town, he saw a huge tower with a height of one hundred feet and a forest of stone steles. Li Xiangyi dispersed to the wind frame and walked on foot.

In his travel notes introducing the scenery of Linggui Town in "Records of Different Towns in Beizhou", the abandoned pagodas and forest of steles he saw were unexpectedly hidden ruins in the town.

It really is bizarre.

Li Goyi and Xiaoqianjun soon came to the ruins and saw the huge tower. It was indeed a ruined tower. Although it was more than a hundred feet high, its body had been eroded by the years, and it became mottled and scattered, no longer majestic. .

At a glance, its interior has long been decayed and collapsed, and it is empty. There is only a stone ladder leading to the top of the tower. I don't know if it is still intact.

Behind the pagoda is a large forest of steles, quite large in scale, with more than [-] stone steles.

It's just that most of them are remnants of steles, and it's hard to find one intact.

The records in "Records of Different Towns in Beizhou" are really correct, but I don't know whether the words on those remnant steles still have meaningful meanings.

Li Xiangyi and Xiaoqianjun walked up the steps and came to the abandoned pagoda.

Surprisingly, it was discovered that there was already a person under the tower, with horns on his forehead, wearing animal skins, and a black coffin lying beside him.

It was the half-demon boy who had been reported to the Immortal Mansion.

When they met for the second time, Mr. Xiaoqian was still a little scared and hid behind the senior brother, but she was also a little curious about him, so she couldn't help sticking out half of her little head.

Seeing the pair of senior brothers and sisters, the half-demon boy still didn't express anything, sitting cross-legged under the tower, accompanied by the black coffin, motionless.

Abandoned pagodas, forest of steles, black coffins, half-demon boys.

This scene looks inexplicably desolate and lonely.

Li Xiangyi asked aloud: "Aren't you going to the southwest demon burial place to compete for the opportunity of the sky demon?"

The half-demon boy didn't lift his head.

Seeing his reaction, Li Xiangyi looked at the black coffin next to him, and said, "Your black coffin is made of the Jiuyou Resurrection Wood from the Little Underworld, right? There are people who are important to you lying in it?"

The half-demon boy finally moved, raised his head slightly, and looked at him.

"You came to Linggui Town not to compete for opportunities, but to save the people in the coffin?"

The half-demon boy frowned slightly, but still didn't speak.

Li Xiangyi understood, and said: "If you want to save the people in the coffin, the opportunities in this small town may not be effective, but I know a place that should be able to do it."

The half-demon boy finally spoke this time, and asked hoarsely, "Where?"

"Devil's sea in the western region, there is a kind of soul-eating flower. It is said that only one plant will be born after swallowing the souls of tens of thousands of people. If you can resist its companion yin creature and use its flower heart as medicine, you will be able to revive the person in the coffin. "

"How can I trust you?"

"There is an old Tingyu bookstore on Dahuaishu Street in the small town. There is a volume of "The Encyclopedia of Yins and Things in the West", which records the Soul Eater flower. You can read it yourself."

The half-demon boy bowed his head in silence.

After a long time, he got up, carried the black coffin on his back, and left step by step.

"Brother, I saw him sitting outside a thatched hut, guarding the black coffin, crying all the time, the village was full of dead people, and there was a big fire, which set the whole village on fire, and the light of the fire lit up most of the night sky! "Mr. Xiaoqian looked at the back of the half-demon boy and said suddenly.

Li Xiangyi glanced at Xiao Qianjun in surprise.

As a genus of spirits, Mr. Xiaoqian knows some strange supernatural powers and can see some things that others cannot see.

"Brother, he is so pitiful! He was still very young at the time, only a little older than me."

Li Xiangyi saw off the coffin-carrying young man, who gradually disappeared from sight, and said sadly, "Yes, this is a poor young man."

Then he took Mr. Xiao Qian around the abandoned tower and went to the forest of steles.

To be precise, the side facing the forest of steles is the front of the abandoned pagoda.

Li Xiangyi walked into the forest of steles, and saw that almost all the steles were damaged, even collapsed, which was a pity.

What surprised him was that there were no writings on these remnants.

None of them, let alone still have meaningful meaning.

This is different from the travel notes in "Records of Different Towns in Beizhou".

Why is it so different?
Mr. Xiaoqian had heard the elder brother talk about that travel note, as well as the ruined pagoda and forest of steles. At this time, she blinked her big eyes and was also very surprised.

"Go, go inside and take a look."

"Uh-huh."

Mr. Xiaoqian turned into a green shadow and flew to the depths of the forest of steles.

Li Goyi also searched for it from another direction.

Soon I heard Xiaoqianjun calling out in surprise: "Brother, there are writings on this stone tablet, and neither the stone tablet nor the writing is broken!"

Li Xiangyi rushed over immediately, and sure enough, he saw a intact stone tablet with words engraved on it.

This stele is three feet tall, and the material is like white marble, but it is deeper, and the specific material cannot be recognized.

What surprised Li Goyi even more was that the inscription on the stele was not a common language in the world today, but a language that existed in legends.

That kind of legendary script was mentioned in ancient books in the Book Collection Pavilion of Hanshan Academy, but the language in that volume of ancient books was not detailed and the content was not much.

Facing the inscriptions on these steles at this time, it is difficult to interpret them.

This point was not mentioned in the travel note of "Records of Different Towns in Beizhou", and I don't know why.

"Little Qian'er, go and see if there are any other stone tablets with inscriptions. I will rub these words down."

"Ok!"

Xiao Qianjun flew up and quickly searched in the forest of steles.

Li Xiangyi began rubbing the inscriptions, planning to bring them back to the academy, and then search for ancient texts and exegetical documents, or invite learned scholars to come together for textual research and interpretation.

An ancient and rare script is extremely important to the entire Hanshan Academy, and even to the entire world.

As a scholar, Li Goyi naturally knew the meaning of this.

He started rubbing, but he didn't copy it like ordinary scribes, but directly displayed the [Heaven and Man Induction], using the heaven and the earth as paper, and the awe-inspiring righteousness as the brush, and rubbed and printed it.

After a few breaths, a three-foot-three phantom stone tablet, exactly the same as the one in front of him, appeared in front of Li Goyi.

This is Li Goyi's original rubbing method, which is more complete and real than ordinary scribe rubbing or asking painters to paint.

After rubbing, he put the phantom of the stele into the sea of ​​air.

However, as soon as the phantom of the stele entered the sea of ​​qi, he raised his brows slightly, revealing a strange color.

Because he discovered that the phantom of the stele actually contained a mysterious power. This mysterious power came from the characters in the stele, making it no longer a phantom, but possessing unpredictable power.

Li Xiangyi couldn't help being surprised.

Could this be the relic of the Forest of Abandoned Pagodas, where the opportunity to practice lies?
Unintentionally inserting willows and willows into shades, before this, he really never thought that there would be any opportunities hidden in this forest of steles.

It can only be said that it should be his.

After that, Mr. Xiaoqian found another 35 intact stone tablets with inscriptions on them.

Including this piece, there are a total of 36 pieces. Li Goyi rubbed them one by one, turning them into shadows of stone tablets, and collecting them into Qihai.

These 36 steles, with more than [-] characters, Li Gouyi finally managed to read only two words:

blue sky!

Unable to connect with the context, Li Goyi didn't know what the meaning of the word "Bi Luo" meant, but it was good to be able to interpret it.

After putting away the phantom of the last stone tablet, Li Goyi and Xiaoqianjun were ready to leave.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the stone chips and dust on the abandoned tower rustled down, revealing a clear and smooth area

With sharp eyes, Mr. Xiaoqian immediately pointed at the tower and shouted: "Brother, there are words on that tower!"

Li Xiangyi raised his eyes and saw that on the giant tower, there really appeared two lines of words that did not know whether they were poems or couplets:
The Tao spreads beyond the sky, the sword falls into the galaxy, if it is not a fairyland, it is a fairyland;
Waking up from a dream, stepping back on the void, it is the human world, not the human world.
