Zhang Yu held the Cicada Cry Sword in his hand as his sleeves fluttered in the wind. He slowly walked forward under everyone's gazes.
Those innumerable ghostly things were still clashing against the light and roaring.
However, their efforts were in vain. They were clearly only separated by a thin line, and they were unable to pass through the light barrier.
This scene that was filled with a strong contrast caused everyone's hearts to be filled with shock.
At this moment, Elder Ying patted the soldier's shoulder and said, "That is Zhang Xuanzheng from Xuanfu. With him here, we should be fine. Let me go over and talk to him."
The soldier didn't move. He glanced at Captain Li, and the latter nodded at him. Only then did he open up a gap. After Elder Ying left, he quickly closed the gap. Meanwhile, the young man and Shuhua who were in the inner circle looked on worriedly.
Elder Ying walked forward and cupped his hands towards Zhang Yu. "Zhang Xuanzheng, greetings. This one is Ying Ke from Yan Tai Academy. I am a good friend of Elder Lu. I have heard Elder Lu mention Xuanzheng many times."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "So it is Ying Xueling. I have also heard Elder Lu mention you before. He said that you are one of the few scholars with great achievements in the field of mysticism."
Mysticism was a field of study that specialized in studying the ancient EsGod. It was first established by the military to deal with the EsGod. This field of study was actually two sides of the same coin. The only difference was that this field of study was more inclined towards mysticism and had more dealings with the Heaven's Secrets Department.
Elder Ying hurriedly said, "I do not dare. I have been paying attention to these ruins for a long time. I am truly ashamed. This time, I also heard from Elder Lu that Zhang Xuanzheng was going to come here, so I also wanted to follow. However, I was afraid that Zhang Xuanzheng would reject me, so I followed behind. I hope Zhang Xuanzheng will not blame me. "
Zhang Yu calmly said, "This is only a small matter. However, there are some obstructions in these ruins, especially the 'Box of Wishes'. It is not something that ordinary people can touch. I will not allow you to bring this item into the continent, so you can all leave."
Elder Ying was startled, then he nodded and said, "We'll listen to Xuan Zheng."
If it was someone else, he might have thought that the other party wanted to monopolize the things here. However, he knew that this person was not only Xuanfu Xuanzheng, but also a Xia Shi. In terms of virtue and character, he was absolutely trustworthy. If this person said that he could not take it away, then there must be a reason.
He said sincerely, "No matter what, Zhang Xuanzheng has saved us this time. When we return, would you like to invite Zhang Xuanzheng for a cup of tea to express your gratitude?"
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for me outside and we will return together."
Old Man Ying cupped his hands again and sincerely expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Xuan Zheng." He looked regretfully at the Box of Wishes on the hillside and called out, "Everyone, let's go."
Captain Lee saw Zhang Yu's carefree and calm appearance from behind, as if he did not care about the things outside at all. He admired him very much. When he passed by Zhang Yu, he thought for a moment and asked, "Zhang Xuanzheng, may I ask, what are these things outside?"
Zhang Yu looked at the things outside the light and said, "These things are the survivors of Helier."
Elder Ying and Shuhua who were walking in front heard this and could not help but stop. The two of them looked at each other and seemed to have thought of something. However, they did not stop to ask.
Captain Li was a little surprised, but he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. He cupped his fists solemnly at Zhang Yu and led all the soldiers out of the room.
Halfway through, a soldier suddenly said, "Captain, I believe you."
Captain Lee asked casually, "What words?"
The soldier whispered, "Even if we were ten times stronger, we would not be able to stop them."
Captain Lee snorted and looked at him, saying, "Boy, you've learned something, haven't you? Let me tell you, we came down to conquer the Frost Continent and have to deal with the cultivators. You all should be careful. Don't look up to the sky and think that you are so great. This world is far bigger and wider than what you see. "
The soldiers all answered in unison as they ran. After all, a thousand or ten thousand words were not as profound as seeing it themselves. The scene just now really shocked them.
Zhang Yu watched the group leave and turned his head. The wings of the Mysterious Cicada in the Sky flapped gently, and endless brilliant starlight splashed down.
After a while, the light faded. The grayish-blue ghosts were also swept away, and not a single one was left.
The field was completely empty, as if nothing had happened just now.
He turned around and floated towards the "Box of Wishes". After a while, he stopped in front of this thing.
He told Elder Ying that this thing was not something ordinary people could touch. This was not a lie. There was a strange power surging on this thing. People who had not reached a certain level of strength would probably uncontrollably use this thing as their faith.
And if this thing was brought back in one piece, he suspected that it would not be long before the intelligent creatures nearby would become like the original people of Helier, full of fanaticism for this thing.
But for people at his level, the impact was very slight.
He reached out and brushed it, and a symbol flashed on the surface of the box. Then, like an ice crystal melting, a depression appeared at the level of his line of sight, and there was a sheepskin scroll in it.
He focused his gaze, and this thing floated out and slowly unfolded in front of him. It was full of densely packed Helier characters.
The Helier language was in the ancient book that Elder Lu had sent. Because of the survivors, it was preserved in a more complete state. He had learned it before he came here, and although there were some variations in the characters, it was not difficult for him to recognize them.
This sheepskin scroll was left behind by the last people to leave this place. It did not record any knowledge, but a secret.
It mentioned that after the people of Helier obtained the knowledge of the previous era, they continued to create two incomplete divine objects.
The "Jar of Eternal Life" was the first to be completed. Therefore, any Helier residents who had made a certain contribution to Helier and were nearing the end of their lifespans were allowed to enter the Jar of Eternal Life and wait inside for the day when the Door of Heli opened.
The "Box of Wishes" was finally completed by a group of craftsmen before the Turbid Tide arrived.
But at this time, a group of Helier's upper echelons realized that if they made a wish on the box, only a few could enter the "Door of Heli" and obtain the power to be "restrained". Most of them were likely to be left outside the door, so this was still an incomplete work.
Perhaps they could solve this problem if given more time, but the signs of the Turbid Tide were already there, and they could not wait any longer. So these upper echelons bypassed most of the sleeping Heliers and took the risk to make a wish on the box.
The wish could be said to be a success, and all the sleeping Heliers obtained power. But at the same time, it also failed. Most of them became another kind of ghost between life and death, and lost all of their human side. Their consciousness was only filled with jealousy and hatred towards the living and the desire for flesh and blood.
But that small group of upper echelons succeeded in obtaining the restrained power and entered the "Door of Heli".
However, one of them did not enter the place after obtaining the power. Instead, he recorded the incident with guilt and left the sheepskin scroll here. He said that he would try to create another "Heart of the Box" and then return here to save everyone.
Originally, this was the end of the matter, but at the end of the parchment, Zhang Yu saw a pattern there.
It was not difficult to tell that it was a frost flower.
He could not help but narrow his eyes slightly, as he thought of many things in an instant.
After thinking for a moment, he put the parchment into the Purple Star Pouch, and then looked at the Box of Wishes in front of him.
In fact, the complete Box of Wishes was divided into two parts: the "box body" and the "box heart". The box heart was a consumable, and every time a wish was made, the box heart would disappear.
The box body, on the other hand, was an external carrier, but it could play the role of changing and condensing people's beliefs. Although it was relatively less important, this thing was also an antique from the previous era, and it was still somewhat useful to him.
So he reached out and pressed on it, and felt the rolling heat flow into his body.
After a long time, when he could no longer feel the slightest bit of heat from it, he withdrew his hand, turned around, and left this place.
Not long after he left, the box body collapsed with a bang and turned into a cloud of dust on the ground.
After Zhang Yu left this place, he quickly returned to the place where the flying boat had stopped before. Qing Mo was waiting there, and she bowed to him, and said, "Mister."
Zhang Yu glanced at the flying boat and noticed that there were some bumps and hollows on the surface of the cabin, and said, "Did something come here just now?"
Qing Mo said, "Yes, when Mister told me to retreat and guard here, those things also came here. I listened to Mister's instructions and hid in the flying boat and ignored them. They couldn't break the flying boat, so they left again."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Let's go back." He walked into the cabin door, followed by Qing Mo. After a while, the flying boat slowly rose and went back along the way they came in.
At this moment, Old Ying and the others were sitting in the flying boat and waiting above the oasis. When they saw the flying boat coming out of the pit, and the body of the boat flashed twice, they immediately recognized that it meant that they should follow, so they hurriedly drove the flying boat to follow.
Zhang Yu sat in the main cabin, thinking about the frost flower.
The symbol of the Frost Island was also a frost flower, could there be any connection between the two? Could it just be a coincidence?
According to Helier's records, the power of the wishing box depended entirely on the size of the box heart. If the box heart was big enough, then the return of wish power would be greater.
After thinking about it, he felt that this matter could not be avoided.
Five days later, the flying boat returned to Fang Tai's base safely and landed on the deck. However, at this moment, the flying boat suddenly trembled and plunged headfirst into the ground.
The disciples below suddenly exclaimed.
Zhang Yu sat there motionless, and a light was released from his body, wrapped the entire flying boat, and then slowly descended.
He felt for a moment and found that the life of the flying boat had disappeared. Obviously, the previous impact was not unscathed, but it finally died here. He sat in silence for a while, and said, "Next time you use a flying boat, remember to use a sturdy one."
Qing Mo hurriedly replied, "Yes, Mister."
