Chapter 104 The Gate to Hell (4)
"Where is Sa Xijiao hiding?" Xue Huaiqing was surprised.

He Honglin said gloomyly: "It is Saxigaro who sucked up all the life force that made them become like this. If they didn't use their lives to feed Saxigaro, this magic weapon would be useless." It will wake up from a deep sleep and burst out with great power to destroy everything. So for more than 100 years, our Yu clan has relied on sacrificing the lives of living people to maintain its stability. I have roughly calculated that in these 100 years, In order to keep Saxigaro, the clansmen who were sucked out of their lives by it and died...probably no less than 1."

An Xingmian clenched her fists tightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.After all, Xue Huaiqing was a corpse dancer. Although she was shocked, she didn't care too much about dead people. She noticed something sensitively: "You said just now, over 100 years? In other words, Sa Xijialuo is actually It only existed for more than 100 years? I thought it was a long time ago. Xingmian told me that he asked He Luo in the dungeon, and He Luo said that Saxigaro was recorded in some ancient books hundreds of years ago .”

"It should be that those who read the legend confuse Saxigaro with its predecessor, or in other words, its 'noumenon', and the two have similarities," He Honglin said, "It needs to be learned from Let’s talk about the production history of Saxigaro. I think you have already found out that when the Feng family seized power from the Yun family more than 100 years ago, they received help from Chenyue. But Chenyue will not help in vain. They With their goals and ambitions, they naturally clashed with the new city-state. There are many masters in the Feng clan, and Chenyue has been hiding in the dark for many years, with limited development, and she is unwilling to lose too much in the conflict with the Yu clan. So they used the Cangyin Moon. I don't need to say more about the power of the Cangyin Moon. The city-state couldn't find a way to counter it, but lost a lot of elites in vain. At that time, Lord Feng was a very tolerant person , while pretending to compromise with Chenyue, while secretly organizing forces, he wants to create a magic weapon that can fight against Cangyin Zhiyue."

"So they found that 'predecessor'? What was it?" An Xingmian asked.

"That's also a very remarkable magic weapon of the Yu family. It was originally the treasure of the Tian family of the Kadiku city-state in Lanzhou. It was made of a fragment of the Guxuan star flowstone. It can eliminate the magic weapon in a radius of several feet through Guxuan's power. All the secret techniques in it," He Honglin said, "Unfortunately, this treasure was crushed in an accident and scattered in the misty sea of ​​Hanzhou. People searched hard, but only found fragments , these fragments later fell into Feng's hands. Now, Feng has no choice but to hope to restore this magic weapon through the fragments, and use Gu Xuan's power to absorb the power of Cangyin Zhiyue, making it useless .”

"However, the method of making the magic weapon has long been lost. Mystics and blacksmiths can only explore it from scratch, and the situation is urgent. To suppress Cangyinzhiyue, they referred to some sorcery, such as the method of making evil spirit weapons, such as "Book of Charms". Judging by your expressions, you have all heard of this ancient evil book?"

Xue Huaiqing sighed lightly: "My master... died early because he practiced the secret technique recorded in this book forcibly, causing his body to be completely destroyed. That is by no means a good thing, these Yuren are really confused. "

"That's the so-called burning eyebrows and looking at the moment," He Honglin also sighed, "In order to fight against the Cangyin Moon, the whole city-state has lost their minds. There are indeed all kinds of sorcery and dark secrets that they refer to. It is so powerful that people can't help being tempted. Such a magic weapon that should have been slowly forged over decades, or even 100 years, was quickly completed in three years. Although it was only three years, the city-state Chenyue's actions are constrained by Chenyue, who is the new owner of Ningnan City in name, but is actually just a puppet. People have endured enough and can't wait to fight back. They don't think about it at all. The things forged in such a short period of time will There will be no fatal flaws. Such negligence has finally brought fatal consequences."

The Feathers succeeded, and it was almost a perfect success. This newly created magic weapon looks like an ordinary piece of jade on the surface, but its power is beyond people's imagination, far surpassing the old magic weapon in the past. After activation, within a radius of one or two miles, the Cangyin Moon can be completely disabled.In addition, it also has some active attack abilities, all of which are so powerful that ordinary warriors or mystics can't resist them at all.

In that battle, Huo Qintu city-state defeated Chenyue and almost snatched Cangyinzhiyue. He was really proud of winning.This magic weapon is almost equivalent to a divine weapon in people's minds. After the celebration feast, the lord personally handed it over to Jing Ruoyin, the number one mystic in the city-state for safekeeping.Jing Ruoyin has won the trust of the lord, and has no family, and has always lived in the palace, so it is still very safe to entrust him for safekeeping.

Knowing the heavy responsibility, Jing Ruoyin hid the magic weapon in a secret room in his bedroom after returning home, and asked the lord for a group of capable guards to guard it day and night.In the first days, everything was normal, but after more than ten days, Jing Ruoyin suddenly passed out while practicing a secret technique. After waking up, she felt weak in legs and feet, dizzy and dizzy.The lord sent an imperial doctor to give him a detailed diagnosis and treatment, and other mystics also used sun mystic techniques to treat him, but there was no effect. After that, Jing Ruoyin's body became weaker and weaker, and he was bedridden, and his mind gradually became confused.

After that, the guards who patrolled outside the courtyard where Jing Ruoyin lived all day, and the servants who walked in and out of the courtyard to serve Jing Ruoyin, all felt unwell, but the degree was less than that of Jing Ruoyin. many.After deduction, people finally thought of the magic weapon, so they asked Jing Ruoyin to move out of the yard and find another place to recuperate. The servants no longer entered the yard, and the guard circle of the guards was also expanded.After this adjustment, Jing Ruoyin's body slowly recovered, and other guards and servants also returned to normal.In this way, everyone will understand that the newly forged magic weapon will weaken those who approach it.But at this time, they didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just a side effect that could be controlled. Anyway, from Jing Ruoyin's illness process, it can be seen that its damage to the human body is chronic, and it will not cause immediate damage when touched. There is an accumulation of time, so you can usually seal it in a place where no one touches it, take it out when you need it, and seal it up again immediately after use.

Another ten days later, one late night, the guards on duty nearby suddenly heard some strange sounds.They searched for the sound and found that the sound was coming from Jing Ruoyin's previous bedroom, where the magic weapon was stored.The guards did not dare to neglect, and reported directly to the lord, who quickly sent several mystics to check.

The mystics led the way, and as soon as they opened the door of the secret room, they saw that the emerald-shaped magic weapon was shining with strange colorful light, making a sound similar to screaming, and it was constantly vibrating, and there were even larger noises from time to time. Displacement, as if something alive was jumping.And without exception, they felt that the star power contained in the magic weapon was in an extremely unstable state, rising suddenly and then restraining, and it was very likely to explode by itself.

They immediately notified the lord and called all the mystics and blacksmiths involved to discuss it.At this time, another thing happened. Out of curiosity, two children from the royal family sneaked into the courtyard, wanting to see what was so special about this magical magic weapon.They were young and had never practiced secret arts, so they passed out after standing in front of the glowing emerald for less than 10 minutes.When they were discovered, their faces had already started to turn purple, and they were completely unconscious, but surprisingly, the magical artifact became a little more stable, and both the screaming and the flickering light were subdued.

"It needs to be fed by living people!" the mystics said in unison.

"Don't worry, they only eat dead human flesh, don't worry," the guide leading the camel turned his head and said to the uneasy traders, "This Gobi is very dangerous, many people rush in recklessly, and they often die. So these hyenas have long been experienced, and when they encounter a caravan, they will follow them from a distance, waiting to eat dead human flesh."

"We...we won't be so unlucky, right?" A businessman said with a forced smile.

"The items are well-prepared and the guide has rich experience—like me, generally speaking, there is a [-]% certainty that I can make it through alive," the guide said, "The remaining [-]% depends on luck. The gods don't give us luck, Then there's no hope."

"Say it is the same as not saying it..." Another merchant muttered in a low voice.

This caravan has entered the Southwest Gobi for several days, and gradually penetrated into the Gobi hinterland.Although the guide is an experienced local who is said to have successfully led dozens of caravans across the Gobi, the merchants still dare not be careless.After all, the southwestern Gobi, which is called Gobi but is actually a desert, has a bad reputation, and no one knows what will happen. If this road can save a lot of time and travel expenses, they would not make this choice.

"Relax, legends are sometimes exaggerated," an old merchant comforted the anxious young people, "I started walking this way 30 years ago, and I walk once or twice a year. , aren’t they still living well? What’s more, in the depths of the Gobi, there are still some oases hidden, and there are nomads living there.”

"How can someone live in such a place?" A dark-faced young man was amazed. "In this kind of place, even wild animals can hardly survive?"
