The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1374 Shadow Spirit

Statues are mere stones, but idols are not mere dead things.

The god statue is equivalent to the eyes of the god in the mortal world, and they can usually only rely on things like the god statue to observe.

Generally speaking, gods can observe unobstructed and unprotected areas within a few kilometers through the statues, and individual gods with special priesthood or more powerful gods can observe within a range of more than ten kilometers.

The Holy Emblem is also a kind of statue, but it is only a simplified version, so the observation range is not so large.

However, the idol is not just carved out by a few stonemasons. It needs devout believers of the god to perform a ceremony, basically praying to the god.

It's roughly equivalent to making a phone call to your boss and saying, 'We've put another eye on you, come and take a look'.

The gods will not refuse such a request from their followers, after all, the new statue means that their power has expanded, and it is too late to be happy.

And when the gods answered the prayers, some miracles would be displayed centering on the statues. At this time, only the simple stone carvings could be called god statues.

Therefore, the way gods observe the world is very different from that of ordinary people. Every god statue and even every believer praying to the holy emblem, the gods will observe them at the same time to see if there is any problem, which is equivalent to looking at thousands of gods at a glance. Ten thousand monitors, it is impossible for ordinary people to do it anyway.

But being able to see gods through statues does not mean that gods can directly interfere with the mortal world through statues.

Even when your temple is invaded by foreign enemies, what the god can do is basically to show a miracle through the statue, bless the people inside with some status, and then simply watch the show, waiting for your priest to beat the enemy run.

It is impossible for him to directly strike down a divine thunder from the sky, and he usually will not do so, unless the god is willing to spend a lot of divine power to send his clone down, or simply take the risk of falling down.

This also means that the temple may actually be breached, such as where Lin Tianci is now.

In terms of scale, it is far from the size of the temple, at most it can only be regarded as an altar belonging to the goddess of magic and death Wejas, and judging from the surrounding dust, the current tomb guards may have long forgotten There is also an altar deep in the tomb.

This is a bit similar to the land gods in Eastern China. Gods who have no one praying for a long time will gradually be forgotten by the gods. After all, the gods have too many "monitoring" to watch, and it is not particularly important to lose one or two, especially if they are not affected by foreign enemies. It is difficult to attract the attention of the gods when there are fewer invasions.

In this case, the idol will gradually lose its power. Even if the god remembers it, it is unlikely to use the idol to observe and interfere with the mortal world, which naturally means that the idol is easily destroyed.

"The face of the statue was directly smashed. The person who did it either had a grudge against Wei Jiesi, or he didn't want her to interfere with his behavior."

The broken part still looks very new, at most it was the last two days, Saili judged:

"Considering Weijiesi's behavior style, it is estimated that someone is planning to play some tricks here, such as using the undead, and doing this under the eyes of the god of death. Of course, she can't see it."

This is equivalent to playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong's gate. Gods with the priesthood of death generally hate undead creatures.

"Go forward, and you may find more clues."

Anyway, no matter whether it was the divine mind or the scouting talisman, no danger was found, and Lin Tianci was not too careful, holding the light ball of the dancing light to bypass the broken statue of Vejas.

In the back, one can see a...

"Plinth?"

Almost like a base for something, or a step.

It is built with black soil and bluestone slabs, and the traces also look new.

"Well, it's the base. It is most likely a base that tries to open the portal to the plane of the undead. The negative energy and environment deep in the cemetery make it easier to open the portal to the plane of the undead."

The so-called undead plane was actually once a mortal world, but the creatures inside have been completely taken over by undead creatures.

The formation of these undead planes may come from natural disasters. After all, undead creatures are not a rare thing, they can be seen everywhere, and when the undead creatures form a large scale, and the locals are unable to destroy them, they will naturally be flattened by a wave .

This situation is generally relatively rare, and the other is artificial.

For example, An Jianguo, the Grand Lich who has been listed as not allowed to stay even by name.

Under the influence of the Book of the Dead, he once transformed several or even a dozen mortal planes into a dead zone where only undead creatures such as skeletons and zombies existed.

The portals of these undead planes can actually be opened. In fact, the "undead summoning" used by many necromancers are basically skeletons pulled from this undead plane.

Since it is also the mortal world, not the outer domain, the difficulty of opening the portal is very low, and as long as there is a suitable altar to open the portal, a powerful necromancer can usually command tens of thousands of undead creatures. Vincent, the number of skeletons he controlled at that time exceeded 20.

Such a large army of undead creatures would be extremely deadly in any mortal world, and this alone is enough to explain why everyone avoids necromancers.

"Whether it is a devil worshiper or a vampire who will use this kind of ritual, it is not surprising. The former often get a lot of undead-related spell knowledge from the devil, while the latter is simply an undead creature."

Except for the True Ancestor of Blood who is classified as a human being, all the vampires created by the True Ancestor are special undead creatures.

The characteristic of undead creatures obeying high-level orders at a low level is equivalent to talent, so a powerful vampire can command a huge army of undead almost like a necromancer.

"It is estimated that the strange noise heard by the cemetery keeper is someone performing a ceremony here, but don't worry that the altar itself has been destroyed, and it is very thorough."

Hearing this, Lin Tianci suddenly realized:
"You mean, someone is secretly helping us?"

Whether it's the altar or the destroyed statue, these all happened in the past two days. Considering the virtues of the vampires that Lin Tianci needs to guard against and the devil worshipers that Qi Jiarui has a headache, it's not surprising that they did this. .

But since it is said to have been destroyed, there must be someone secretly providing help, at least the purpose is likely to be the same.

As for who this person is...

"It shouldn't be Selina. She is not a guy who can do things secretly. Besides, judging from the method of destroying the altar, this person must be very familiar with the related rituals of how to open the portal of the undead plane. Even I can't destroy it. Completely, with the ability of the local Ulugra Academy, it is impossible to do it. If it is not that the Ymir Magic Academy is secretly acting in order to protect their demon daughter..."

Speaking of this, Lin Tianci's heart suddenly moved, and the divine mind technique discovered that a human-shaped thing was gradually approaching, and the direction was at the secret cave where Lin Tianci and the others came in.

"Someone is coming, hide first."

Sai Li reminded in a low voice that Lin Tianci also understood that it would be more reliable to check the situation first when it is not clear whether the visitor is an enemy or a friend.

He quickly glanced left and right, but couldn't find any suitable shelter around him, not to mention that there was only one secret passage in and out of the room, so it was not easy to hide.

Feeling that the footsteps were getting closer, he jumped lightly and stepped on the smashed face of the statue of Wejas very impolitely, and then raised himself up again.

He took out a gecko wall talisman and stuck it on his body, and then climbed all the way to the corner of the ceiling of the room. Of course, he didn't forget to kill the dancing lights.

There are not enough shelters around to hide people, and only shadows can be used.

When someone enters the door with a torch or other lighting, it is impossible for the light to illuminate the entire area. Places like the corner of the wall are the dead ends of shadows.

Just as Lin Tianci hid, the monk's keen hearing heard rustling footsteps approaching.

It doesn't feel like a guy who is too big, and his stride is not too big, and he doesn't wear thick boots, otherwise the footsteps can't be so slight that he can only hear it when he gets close.

After a few seconds, the man's footsteps paused for a while, and then he took two quick steps, probably seeing that the secret passage that should have been hidden was opened.

Due to the darkness around him, Lin Tianci also didn't have night vision ability, and he also couldn't see what the person who came looked like, but he could clearly feel that person walked through the secret passage and stepped into this area quickly through the divine sense technique.

Lin Tianci held his breath and lay down in the corner of the ceiling, focusing all his attention on manipulating the divine sense technique. He felt that the man's head seemed to turn slightly after entering the door, as if he was looking around.

Then, I heard a cold voice that seemed to be a woman:
"Come out, I saw you hiding in the corner."

Then it was discovered immediately...

The opponent did not light a lamp, nor did he hold a torch, and the observation movement of turning his head was obviously a dark vision capable of seeing through the darkness.

Having said that, dark vision is not all-powerful radar, this person probably didn't look at the corner where Lin Tianci was hiding, but he still found him.

I wanted to hide to see the situation, but since I was discovered, there was no point in continuing to hide.

Lin Tianci exhaled the dancing light technique again, and jumped down from the corner of the wall.

With the lighting, it can be clearly seen that the person is a woman in a brown robe, her face is completely hidden in the lowered hood, and the gender can only be distinguished from the body line.

And when the light ball of the Dancing Lights technique lit up, she also made a very inconspicuous lowering of her head, as if avoiding the light, and it was even more difficult to see her face clearly.

But Lin Tianci couldn't see the other party clearly, but the other party did not know how to see him clearly.

Seeing Brother Lin appearing, he said in a clear tone:

"It turned out to be you, a visitor from another world."

The so-called visitor from another world actually means the same thing as a traveler from another plane, but how to call it depends on the habit of the person involved.

While speaking, the man raised his head slightly, revealing his pale skin like a dead man, and his eyes sewn shut with dense sutures...
