It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

The platform is very spacious, at least two thousand steps in radius.

At the core, a huge red and yellow crystal coffin is particularly eye-catching.

In front of the coffin, there are nine giant dragons of different shapes.

Lifelike, with bared fangs and claws.

This scene was more intense than what Lu Yuan remembered.

All imperial tombs are majestic and exaggerated.

Lu Yuan and Shen Jiaren understood instantly.

This must be the burial place of Zhurong, the God of Fire!

never expected,
The mythical figures from ancient times are actually real!
The Phoenix urged, "Follow me!"

He stepped on different tiles with each step.
It moves forward in twists and turns, as if avoiding some kind of mechanism.

Moreover, He used a spiritual barrier to isolate the mercury poison gas.

Otherwise, Shen Jiaren would definitely not survive for a second.

Lu Yuan held his fiancee's hand.

Following behind the divine bird, its steps follow closely.

Gradually entering the core area,

A large number of skeletons of unidentified creatures gradually appeared on the ground.

The closer we get to the coffin, the more bones we see.

In the end, it covered the entire ground.

If it weren't for the phoenix clearing the way, the young couple would have had to move forward on the bones.

Finally, Lu Yuan came under the coffin.

Coming closer,

Lu Yuan had to look up to see the top of the coffin.

It is no exaggeration to say that the coffin is at least as high as a ten-story building.

After visual inspection, Lu Yuan judged that it was one hundred meters long and fifty meters wide.

Almost there at the football field.

Shen Jiaren asked nervously in a low voice:

"My lord, is the God of Fire Zhurong a giant?"

"Yes! Come over here!"

The phoenix answered for Lu Yuan and at the same time guided the two of them to step onto the jade plate they were standing on.

After Lu Yuan pulled Shen Jiaren up, the phoenix used its spiritual power to activate the mechanism.

The jade plate under my feet rose slowly, as smoothly as an elevator.

It didn't take long for the three of them to climb onto the top of the coffin.

What is surprising is that the coffin was not sealed, and the interior was clearly visible.

Well, you can imagine it.
What does it feel like to stand in the stadium stands and watch the football field.

It is no exaggeration to say that the coffin is filled with countless rare treasures.

Massive amounts of gold, jade, ivory, jewelry...

Randomly and messily piled up.

The most impressive thing is that

Treasure Center,

It was the huge corpse of the fire god Zhurong, about 50 to 60 meters tall.
It has not decayed after tens of thousands of years, and its voice and appearance are still there, as if it were asleep.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh,
Compared with gods, humans are indeed no different from ants.

So, the giant phoenix is ​​really the pet of the god of fire.

After careful observation, Lu Yuan discovered that
The skin of the God of Fire is bronze, and his body is covered with fire cloud patterns.
I don't know if it's natural or tattooed later.

Lu Yuan always felt that these strange fire cloud patterns,

It is constantly changing, and looks like some kind of magic circle or seal.

Zhurong's limbs are intact, his hair and beard are all there.

But among the five senses, only the eyes were blocked by foreign objects.

The left eye is covered with yellowish mud.

The right eye was filled with charred ashes.

Seeing Lu Yuan noticed, the master's eyes,

The Phoenix said: "My master's left eye is Xirang.

The right eye is a spark, and all spirituality has been lost.
I tried every possible way, but still couldn't activate it...

I can only hope to borrow your blood and give it a try."

As he spoke, the Phoenix took out a small silver cup and handed it to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan looked at the silver cup, then at the body of the God of Fire.
He asked hesitantly, "Can't you take out the two holy objects?"

The Phoenix shook his head:

"The relics are extremely heavy. I cannot move any of them."

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Can we enter the coffin?"

The Phoenix hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Okay! Come up and I'll take you down."

Lu Yuan and Shen Jiaren climbed up again, resting on the phoenix's neck and shoulders.

The phoenix spread its fleshy wings and slid smoothly into the coffin like a paraglider.

Shen Jiaren said in surprise: "Didn't you say it was flight control?"

The Phoenix explained: "Inside the master's coffin, there are no restrictions.
You can also breathe and move freely.”

A few seconds later, the Phoenix stepped firmly on the treasure next to Zhu Rong's head.
After a burst of fragmented sounds,
Countless treasures were crushed and damaged.

However, the phoenix doesn't care about these worldly things at all.

He used his spiritual power to gently wrap Lu Yuan and Shen Jiaren,

Carefully deliver it to the root of Vulcan's nose.

Shen Jiaren was simply stunned.

My god, the god's head is so huge!

His hair was like a forest, his nose like a hill, and his eyeballs were bigger than the largest millstones.

The Phoenix asked again: "Yes, just drop your blood on the soil."

Lu Yuan jumped off the eyebrow arch and reached out to touch the Xirang.

It was icy and cold, as if it had been frozen for thousands of years, without a trace of life.

Moreover, it seemed to be integrated with the skin and flesh and could not be moved at all.

Looking up, the coffin seems to be covered by a transparent "water curtain".

The air here has no peculiar smell and is no different from normal.

He slowly extended his fingertips towards Xirang...

Just before the fingertip was pricked and blood dripped,
A fire cloud pattern suddenly flashed under Lu Yuan's feet like a ghost.

Huh?
Lu Yun's heart sank, and he had a bad feeling.

He immediately looked at the Phoenix.

"The Fire Cloud Pattern is not a dead thing, so what is it?"

The Phoenix said gently:

"It's the master's body protection technique. As long as it doesn't harm the master's body, it won't have any effect."

Lu Yuan thought it over and looked at the phoenix again.

The Phoenix laughed dryly and said, "Why? Are you doubting me?"

Lu Yuan looked at Him and suddenly asked, "Why don't you come up?"

The Phoenix seemed a little unhappy and answered stiffly:
"I am the master's favorite. How can I desecrate the remains of a god?"

Lu Yuan could clearly feel that the phoenix seemed to be experiencing emotional fluctuations.

This doesn't seem right.

Lu Yuan is not a naive person.

Someone once said that gods have always used human fear to gain worship.

Just look at the white bones outside the coffin and you will know that the God of Fire Zhurong is no good.

So, how good can it be for Him to be His favorite?
What is even more strange is that starting from the Tianchi Lake in Taibai Mountain,
The phoenix seemed to be very enthusiastic about him and almost obedient to him.

The divine pet is too easy to talk to... No...

This guy must be not telling me something.

"You're not here to activate the two relics, are you?"

The Phoenix's eyes became fierce.

He said as calmly as possible: "This forbidden place,
Only I can take you out, as long as you take the test as agreed,
I can get you out safely.

Otherwise, you two,

You can only die here and become the master's burial object."

Oh, this rubbish bird actually tore off its face and stopped pretending.

Following the rule that "the more the enemy wants us to do something, the less we should do it", Lu Yuan decisively stopped.

"It seems that you really are hiding something from me...

Let me guess, could it be these two holy objects?

There is some kind of 'special restriction' that makes it difficult for you to do it.

So, I hope my blood can lift the ban?"

The Phoenix snorted.

"Ants, don't waste your time,

This is your last chance. If you don’t try again, I will leave…”

Lu Yuan suddenly smiled and asked:

"The reason you don't dare to touch the body of the God of Fire is actually because of the Fire Cloud Pattern, right?"

"You guys, slowly enjoy the fear before death!"

The Phoenix, having lost all its patience, flew up with a "whoosh!"

It returned to the top edge of the coffin like lightning and then disappeared.

Shen Jiaren was stunned.

The conversation between Lu Yuan and the Phoenix shows that
The Phoenix actually harbored evil intentions?! It completely overturned her imagination.

What's the matter?

Moreover, entering the forbidden area is full of dangers and traps.

Without the Phoenix, they would never be able to get out.

"Your Majesty, what should I do?"

Lu Yuan jumped onto the root of the Fire God's nose and held his fiancée's hand.

Looking around, in the isolated coffin,

There were mountains of treasures, but there was no water or food.

He has an immortal body and can probably survive for hundreds of years.
But Shen Jiaren is not a cultivator, and she will be finished in three days at most.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan comforted:

"There is always a way out.
There must be a way out here, let me think about it carefully..."

correct!

I have the "Tianshi" encyclopedia!
However, Lu Yuan searched the entire directory and found no information about the ancient gods.

Don't worry, think of other ways.

Crush the dominoes and find the red lady...

No, she is no match for the Phoenix, she will just be killed if she comes.

Well, Miaoshan Guanyin is the messenger of the four-dimensional world,
You should know the situation of the gods on earth.

But, how can we contact each other when we are tens of thousands of miles apart?

One by one, all the solutions were rejected.

Lu Yuan suddenly felt a little helpless.

Oh my, this feeling is so uncomfortable!

Seeing Lu Yuan frowning, Shen Jiaren became even more worried.

However, she also knew that the more critical the moment, the more she should not be disturbed.

She wanted to give her fiancé more space, so she moved aside a little.
I wasn't paying attention and it slipped down from the root of my nose.

"what!"

With a scream, Shen Jiaren slid into the ashes on her right eye socket.
Lu Yuan has already flown over.

As his fiancée almost fell into the ashes, he held her waist.

The moment the back of Lu Yuan's hand touched the ashes of the fire.

A slight residual warmth surprised him.

The rest of the Vulcan's body was as cold as iron.
How can there be temperature here?

Something is wrong!
He immediately helped Shen Jiaren stand up, and continued to reach out to test the ashes of the fire.

Soon, he found the source of the heat, right at the core of the ash.

It's really strange, the Phoenix said the fire was extinguished,
Why do I still have a fever?

Even though I know the fire is in the ashes,
But the ashes were fused together and could not be moved or penetrated into.

"My lord, is there anything here?"

Lu Yuan pointed to the location of the fire and said:

"Come and try it, can you feel anything?"

Shen Jiaren carefully placed her palm on the ashes and said uncertainly:
"It doesn't seem cold."

Lu Yuan said: "I suspect that the fire is still alive, but it's a pity that I can't open it..."

Shen Jiaren asked: "My lord, don't you find it strange?

Why did the God of Fire seal his own eyes with the soil and fire?"

Lu Yuan's heart moved, and he asked, "What do you think?"

Shen Jiaren asked tentatively: "I heard from my father,
"The Heavenly Lord is immortal, so how can a god like the God of Fire die?"

Lu Yuan said thoughtfully:

"You mean, the God of Fire is not dead?

But someone sealed Him, so...

Zhu Rong has actually been sleeping all this time? Xirang and Huozhong are the seals and restrictions...

Therefore, the Phoenix is ​​not trying to activate the holy object, but to rescue its owner."

Shen Jiaren said uncertainly: "I don't know either.

However, the idea of ​​the death of the gods was too bizarre, and,

I always feel that He doesn’t look like death at all.”

Lu Yuan nodded involuntarily.

Makes sense!
The Phoenix's attitude was strange, to say the least.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
He immediately flew into the air,
Release your spiritual sense and carefully examine Zhu Rong's huge body.

After a short while, Lu Yuan detected several unknown spiritual auras.

He immediately landed on the top of the Fire God's head.
I struggled to separate my twig-like hair,

Sure enough, I found three black nail-like objects nailed to my scalp.

Then he went to the ankle of the God of Fire, and pushed aside the messy treasures.
Suddenly a huge chain appeared, tightly binding the feet of the God of Fire...

Lu Yuan continued to search along the chain.
Finally, I found the end of the chain.

It’s a piece of red meteorite the size of a house...Huh?

Why is it that the more I look at this meteorite, the more it looks like a weight used by merchants?
At this point, Lu Yuan can be sure that
Even if the Fire God Zhurong really died, it was definitely an "unnatural death."

Who did this?

No, it should be some kind of magical operation?
Driven by curiosity, Lu Yuan reached out and touched the huge red meteorite.

It was like an epiphany, and Lu Yuan instantly established telepathy with the meteorite.

Mamma Mia!

This thing actually has spirituality?!

Soon, Lu Yuan understood everything.

The name of this meteorite is "Soul-Calming Tunnel".
Attached to it are endless eerie and terrifying ghosts from the underworld.

Emma, ​​it feels like déjà vu...

Lu Yuan immediately reacted and realized that he had a similar magical weapon.

Well, you guessed it right.

It is the "Soul-Calling Banner" obtained from the Taihang bandit leader Huo Dongying.

Both are instruments of the goddess Nuwa.

Of course, the two are at different levels.

The soul-calling flag is suitable for ordinary people, including practitioners below the level of Heavenly Venerable.

The Soul-Suppressing Pillar can suppress those above the Heavenly Lord, including gods.

Simply put, the Soul-Calling Banner is a low-level range damage, while the Soul-Calming Stone is a high-level single-target attack.

The information that the Soul-Calming Pound gave Lu Yuan was very horrifying.
Uncover the tip of the iceberg of the brutal struggle between the ancient gods.

The premise is that the northern goddess Nuwa and the southern gods are regarded as water and fire.
Coincidentally, Zhurong is from the southern god camp.

When the water god Gonggong crashed into Mount Buzhou, it caused a devastating flood.

While Nuwa was repairing the sky, Gun, the father of King Yu, stole the Xirang in an attempt to save the people of the world.

However, the Emperor of Heaven was furious and ordered Zhurong to kill Gun.

However, Gun was a member of the Northern Front, so it was impossible for Nuwa to spare the God of Fire.

So, after she captured Zhu Rong,

He was suppressed under Mount Heng with the Soul-Suppressing Stone, where he will never be reborn.

In short, the Fire God Zhurong now belongs to,

A "vegetative" state with no consciousness.

Moreover, Nuwa placed a curse on Zhurong's body targeting the southern gods.

These are the "fire cloud patterns" that appear or disappear.

After Nuwa gouged out Zhurong's eyes,
The spiritual fluctuations of the God of Fire's relics "Xiran" and "Fire Seed" were sealed and used as fillers.

This is called "having eyes but no vision".

Well, it's just purely disgusting to the Emperor of Heaven.

According to the instructions of the Soul-Calming Pound,

Lu Yuan took out the two-dimensional soul-summoning banner and obtained the "unlocking authority code".

"Once the ban is lifted, Zhu Rong's soul will be shattered and reduced to ashes, and the entire forbidden area will no longer exist."

Lu Yuan accepted it decisively.

If we allow gods who are hostile to humans to survive, we would be irresponsible.

Let the Vulcan die.

Anyway, this world will keep turning with or without him.

The forbidden area is too unsafe. If an archaeological team comes in, no one will survive.

Undo it, and the world will be a better place.

The most important thing is that those who lift the ban will automatically obtain four treasures.

Soul-calming stone, Xirang, fire and soul-fixing needle.

Lu Yuan immediately flew back to Shen Jiaren and put his arms around her waist.

"Don't be afraid, my lady, I'll take you out right now!"

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, Zhurong Zhurong, soul return!"

In an instant, the fire cloud patterns on the body of the Fire God Zhurong began to split and fission.

Along with the skin, hair, limbs, flesh, internal organs, meridians,
They all disintegrated into tiny points of light, and at a certain moment, with a "crash", they rushed directly to the dome!

"Boom!"

A huge crack appeared across the entire Hengshan Mountain.

The mercury sea in the underground palace also turned into transparent, colorless water, flowing everywhere.

Lu Yuan no longer hesitated, and flew up, jumping and climbing on the stone wall.
Finally, when Lu Yuan kicked suddenly, he and Shen Jiaren rushed out of the crack.

Wow!
The air outside the mountains is so fresh and sweet!
Suddenly, a shrill cry came from behind Lu Yuan, resounding through the sky.

"Lu Yuan, what did you do to my master?!" (End of this chapter)
