The Lord who use immortals as food

Continuing forward, there was still no end in sight of the mist, but Pei Ye felt that his mind was getting hazy. Even though his ears and eyes were clear, and everything he felt was real and not false, he felt more and more ethereal and illusory.

He stopped and reached out to press Zizhu, confirming once again this extremely real touch.

Different from ordinary people, he who is wearing a quail head should never have such inexplicable illusions. All misunderstandings should be able to find the source, and after entering the quail head state, there should be no such haziness at all.

Pei Ye cut off a piece of bamboo with a sword, and the hollow bamboo belly exposed showed no abnormality. He lowered his head and turned over the bamboo in his hand with frowning eyebrows.

"There's no need to try. We can't penetrate it even with all our strength." The black cat looked ahead with its blue eyes. "As real as it is an illusion, the source of this source is higher than the quail head. You should be able to feel its majesty." grand."

Pei Ye nodded but did not answer.

He stood on the edge of the bamboo forest and looked into its depths quietly, his eyes condensing little by little.

In the white fog of the cold bamboo, some gentle and cold shapes cling to the bamboo body, appearing and disappearing in the haze, as if they have been soaked in the coldness of this environment for generations.

snake.

Vaguely and shadowy, the only thing that can be determined is that the snake heads are tilted this way at the same time, and those cold eyes seem to be close to the skin.

Gradually, it seems to be swimming closer this way.

Pei Ye looked at them quietly, but ignored them. He slowly raised his feet and turned around, continuing to walk forward on the white jade path.

In this cold and misty fairyland, these long-lost visitors are surrounded by boundless purple bamboos. The mist blows on their cheeks and clothes, and the cold living creatures slowly climb towards them lazily.

Pei Ye just walked this magical path without looking away.

Then a huge white jade plate was revealed in front of him.

For a moment, the clear vision made him think that he was out of the forest, but he was not. The broad jade platform in front of him was just wrapped in an even more boundless sea of ​​bamboo, like a bright pearl in the middle of purple silk.

This inexplicable material seems to be able to block the growth of purple bamboo, but from what Pei Ye sees and feels, they are indeed ordinary stones with no carvings and no spiritual essence. This unreasonable strangeness is exactly the same as that of purple bamboo. Like white mist, it is the characteristic of this true illusion.

In the center of the jade plate is another altar.

But at this time, there was no blue rose fire, not even the abstract fire talisman. It was just a quiet square platform with some simple words engraved on it, which could not be clearly distinguished from the angle of Pei Ye's eyes.

And behind the jade plate, the huge figure covered by white mist was vaguely visible. It was a hill-like high platform, with no purple bamboo on it. It was built twelve feet tall. It had straight edges and corners, and was extremely regular, but on the surface it seemed like there were some tree root-like shapes winding down from the top.

Pei Ye couldn't distinguish the shadows clearly. The chaos in this perfect order was consistent with the strange temperament in the ethereal and cold surroundings.

Pei Ye stopped in front of the jade plate.

As the saying goes, "Enter the purple bamboo forest and listen to the edict of the Son of God", the long road they walked was like a straight road of worship, and they had indeed entered the purple bamboo forest deeply.

If the Son of God Lingzhao really exists, he should be here.

However, the altar was empty and silence enveloped everything.

Only an increasingly powerful will suppressed him, and Pei Ye gradually felt the pressure on his head. The girl behind him had bitten her lower lip to the bleeding line.

"The so-called 'Candle Sword Heart Poison' in Dragonborn's "Heart Candle" turns out to be from here." Black Cat said suddenly.

Li Mingqing was startled.

Yes, this method of picking the weakest point, piercing it, and detonating the mind is exactly the same as the 'heart poison'. The girl could almost imagine how those dragon-born ancestors spent countless madness and sacrifice in this bamboo forest thousands of years ago to figure out this mysterious skill of the heart.

In front of him, Pei Ye had already raised his feet and stepped on the platform with his sword.

Li Mingqing was startled, but did not stop him. He just pursed his lips and stepped forward. She was still enduring the urge and backlash from the Five Poison Heart Candle, but she had pressed her sword and stared at everything around her.

However, no monster suddenly broke out of the mist, and everything remained eerily quiet.

Holding his sword, he walked step by step to the altar and saw the words on it clearly.

A continuous line of handwriting was engraved in the middle. The moment the word came into view, it penetrated him. From the sky to the heart, it seemed as if it was connected by a thin and sharp line and was severely twitched.

Pei Ye had never felt that he was so close to death. Before his mind exploded, Hei Chi shouted urgently in his belly: "Don't recite silently!!"

This sentence ended in front of the iron wall made of quail heads.

He said: "I bow to listen to the secret edict of the Immortal Lord here."

Pei Ye suddenly came back to his senses, gasping for air, avoiding the words, not daring to take another look.

Black Cat's voice also lost its calmness, and whispered: "Don't forget, you are His only place in the world now."

"." Pei Ye nodded slowly.

Below this line of writing, from right to left, there are only two very simple records.

And these three handwritings were not written by the same person.

The first line of engravings is very old and is the first to catch your eye. First there was the word "Jia Yin Zhao", and then there were several weird images and symbols. Pei Ye couldn't identify any of them, but he felt a suffocating pressure when he saw them. He looked away with difficulty, only to see this picture. After the symbol, four words settled at the end.

[Explanation: coming into the world]

Pei Ye's heart clenched hard.

It turns out that this is the source of all that. It has been fifty years since the Dragon descendants of Jiayin moved to Shaolong, and as early as twenty-eight years ago, the Zhushi Sect was already preparing for the arrival of the Immortal King.

There was silence in front of the stage for a few moments, and Pei Ye moved his gaze to the second line of engravings.

The format is the same, first there are three words "Jia Zi Zhao", and then there are weird and abstract symbols, as if a person can only leave so many strokes after exhausting all his efforts. Different from the suffocating oppression in the previous line, this one seems to crush the eyes of those who see it, like a eunuch watching a tyrant kill the prime minister. The majestic murderous intention is soul-crushing.

Followed by the same four words.

[Explanation: Killing Sword]

"."

Pei Ye was silent for a while, and then said in a dry voice: "Jiazi. It was eighteen years ago."

"But why should 'Zhenlu' be called a 'sword'?" Black Cat said softly, "Besides, did he issue two edicts for one thing?"

"."

"So we are walking to the place where the servant of the imperial edict passed twice." After a moment of silence, the black cat looked back and said, "When a divine edict comes, the servant of the imperial edict will come here to retrieve the edict and hand it over to Cultists of the Candle Age awaiting execution.”

"So...who put them here?"

After a moment of silence, Pei Ye slowly raised his head and looked at the high platform in front of him.

After walking onto the jade plate, the fog was dissipated by the field of vision again. The high platform became more and more oppressive, but its front was gradually becoming visible.

In the haze, Pei Ye suddenly saw those winding shapes clearly.

It's never a dry root.

Fine scales cover the surface, and the clinging tentacles seem to be breathing. They don't appear and disappear from time to time, but they are always moving.

At this time, the movement was getting bigger and bigger, and some of them had left the surface of the high platform.

A rustling sound began to be heard in the bamboo forest, and Pei Ye turned around. The snake shadows that were staring at them finally swam out of the bamboo forest, emerged from the white mist, and unconsciously climbed towards him.

So Pei Ye also saw their true appearance.

Not a snake.

Instead, they were cold tentacles, their tails still hidden in the white mist of the bamboo forest, gradually getting thicker, and the thickest parts were the ones hanging down from the high platform.

At its top, the clouds and mist suddenly rolled into waves.

Amidst this turbulence, the stone tablet at the bottom finally revealed two lines of hazy writing, which read:

[No more than two moments, the Son of God will be frightened into sleep]
