After a long time, all the strange phenomena in Chang 'an City disappeared.
In the Tang Empire, Shen Luo was still sitting cross-legged. His Aperture acupoints were not completely closed, and there was still golden light overflowing from his body. He looked as if he was shrouded in the light of treasures, and he looked like an immortal.
However, after a few deep breaths, the light around his body gradually dimmed. As the overflowing light gradually receded, Shen Luo's entire person seemed even more restrained.
He stretched his body and slowly stood up from the ground. He looked up at the hole above his head, and there was a flash of joy in his eyes.
"I finally broke through … I've caught up with Lu Huaming. I don't know what kind of stimulation Bai Xiao Tian received, but he went into seclusion the last time he came back. I don't know if he has come out yet? "Shen Luo was secretly thinking, but a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
"Thump, thump …"
His heart beat faster involuntarily, and he felt a little flustered.
"What's going on?" Shen Luo's heart tightened. He had never felt such an inexplicable feeling before.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something and turned his head to look at the storage ring on his hand.
He saw a ray of light shining from the storage ring. He did not control it with his mind, but something flew out by itself.
"Jade Pillow!"
Shen Luo called out softly, and there was a sudden change.
Different from the sleepiness in the past, the Jade Pillow flew out directly this time. Its surface lit up with a layer of starlight, and a white vortex condensed on its surface. As it spun slowly, it emitted a strong suction force.
Shen Luo felt a huge tremor deep in the sea. His Divine Soul seemed to leave his body in an instant, and all his thoughts were sucked into it.
"What's going on …"
Shen Luo felt an indescribable sense of crisis. The next moment, he lost consciousness.
…
After a long time.
Shen Luo felt dizzy. He slowly opened his eyes, but his vision was still blurry. He vaguely felt that there was smoke around him, and it was foggy.
"There's no time …"
In his daze, he heard such a low moan. The tone was sorrowful, and the voice was low and hoarse. It was like a wail of unwillingness before death.
Shen Luo rubbed his eyes hard. Suddenly, his brows furrowed. He suddenly turned over and squatted, looking around vigilantly.
It wasn't entirely because of his vision. His surroundings were foggy, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"The smell of blood …" Shen Luo frowned.
He smelled an incomparably thick stench of blood, and there seemed to be a trace of warmth amidst the sweetness. It was nearby.
Shen Luo narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings with his Dark Yin Bewildering Pupils.
In front of him, within the maze, an incomparably huge ancient pine tree appeared. Its bark was incomparably black and had already been burned to charcoal. There were still sporadic flames flickering on the tree, and thick white smoke was rising from it.
Behind the ancient pine tree, there was a long stone staircase that extended upwards. At the end, there seemed to be an ancient building.
"We've left the Five Fingers Mountain. Where is this place? Why can I feel the lingering aura of the magic array? "Shen Luo's eyes flashed, and he was puzzled.
The surrounding fog was not pure smoke. It was formed by the lingering aura of a certain protective magic array after it was broken and mixed with the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
"Not only can it confuse the Divine Sense, but even the Dark Yin Bewildering Pupils can't completely see through it. It seems that before this magic array was broken, it should have been a powerful protective magic array." Shen Luo's Divine Sense had already scanned the surroundings.
He pinched his fingers together and whispered the word "seal". In an instant, he suppressed the mana fluctuations on his body and carefully walked towards the ancient building. Soon, he arrived under the ancient pine tree.
When he got closer, he found that the ancient pine tree had been burned through by the raging fire. In the heart of the tree, half of a metal talisman was exposed. On it, he could see the two incomplete words "Great Seal".
Obviously, this ancient pine tree should have been the pivot of the protective magic array.
Shen Luo was puzzled. He looked all the way up the stone stairs and saw a black and white Taoist temple on the one hundred and eight steps.
The main entrance of the temple had white walls and black tiles. The door was tightly shut and looked normal. There was only a slightly slanted plaque hanging at the top of the door.
Shen Luo glanced at the plaque. When he saw the three big words written on it, his expression changed slightly.
"Five Villages Temple …"
He whispered and his body turned into smoke. He pulled out a residual shadow in the void and instantly appeared in front of the main entrance of the temple.
The main entrance of the Five Villages Temple looked simple and unadorned. It looked better than the Temple of Spring and Autumn, but it did not have the grandiose aura of other big sects.
The tightly shut door was spotless and looked like it had just been cleaned. There was no trace of damage.
Shen Luo frowned. He raised his hand and pushed open the two thick black wooden doors.
"Creak"
With the sound of the wooden door turning, the two doors slowly moved back and opened.
"Whoosh"
It was as if a gust of wind had swept past, and an incomparably dense bloody aura surged out like a flood, heading straight for Shen Luo. It seemed invisible, but the instant it rushed past Shen Luo, it dyed his clothes red.
Shen Luo did not move sideways to avoid it, nor did he use any magic to remove it. He just let the smell of blood wash over him. He felt many familiar breaths in it.
"What … happened here?"
Shen Luo's eyes trembled slightly. He could not help but feel his scalp tingle when he saw the scene in front of him.
In the courtyard behind the door, there were broken corpses and broken limbs everywhere. They were piled up randomly. The hall behind was almost completely destroyed. Everywhere that could be seen was dyed red with blood.
On the ground, the water from the corpses mixed with the blood, forming a pool of blood with a foul stench. Many severed limbs floated in the pool of blood.
In the chaotic pile of corpses, Shen Luo saw many Heavenly Soldiers in silver armor, many bare-chested strongmen, and some people of the Jade Fox Tribe.
They had really escaped here, but it seemed that they still could not escape their misfortune.
Shen Luo felt a little cold all over, but there was a ball of anger burning in his heart.
He took a deep breath and clenched his fists. Step by step, he stepped over the corpses in the courtyard and walked toward the remaining hall.
Although it was said to be a remnant, half of the hall had already collapsed. From the looks of it, it seemed to have been trampled by a huge demon. Half of the hall had collapsed, and the remaining half was also in a state of tottering collapse.
Walking into the half-collapsed hall, the incense table was still there. There were even five purple-black incense sticks in the incense burner. They had not burned out, three long and two short.
Behind the incense table, there was no collapsed statue. There was only an ancient scroll with the words "Heaven and Earth" written on it.
Shen Luo knew a little about the owner of the Fifth Manor. Taoist Yuan, whom he met in the Heavenly Book Space, was the famous Ancestor of Earthly Immortals, "Zhen Yuanzi".
Only a powerful person like him could not worship the Gods and Buddhas and Heaven and Earth.
