Steel Chang'an

Chapter 99

Exchange Li Jing's life for fire!
The words uttered from between those two delicate red lips made Mu Yun's whole body tremble!
"What?" Thirteen watched Mu Yun's reaction with great interest, "You sabotaged Li Jing's plan, came to see me privately, and wanted to get the fire seed, didn't you want to become stronger, defeat Li Jing, and destroy Yixuebaima City? hate?"

"That's my business." Mu Yun said coldly.

As early as the moment he just learned that the destruction of Baima City was done by the wolf lord under the instruction of Li Jing, he really thought about getting the fire seed, gaining the power enough to defeat Li Jing, and fighting him to the death to avenge his hatred.

But now, he already knew that Baima City was destroyed because of the fire, and he already had the power of fire in his body.

Although he knows that if he can absorb more spark particles, his power can become stronger, but now he wants to get the spark, but it is no longer just for himself.

He saw a lot of things in the East China Sea, and he also figured out a lot of things.

He has already thought clearly - it is the power of the fire that allows nobles to control armor, become knights, and rule the continent.

It is precisely because of the rule of the nobles that the displaced sea people and the corpses under the coastal defense wall were created.

In order to maintain the rule of the nobles, some people did not hesitate to use an order to ruin the lives of a city.

In order to cover up the secret of Tinder, some people slaughtered and burned cities in the desert under the pretext of conquest.

He wanted revenge, but not just to defeat Li Jing, to avenge Baima City.

He also wanted to avenge countless cities in the northwest desert that were burned to ashes like the White Horse City.

He wants to avenge all the people on this continent who have been deceived, oppressed, and ruled for thousands of years.

If fire is a gift from God, then this time, this gift from God will no longer belong to only a few people.

He wants to use fire to ignite the torch of hatred, so that the small fire will turn into a prairie fire, and burn all over this continent.

He wants the commoners to gain the power of the nobles, so that the commoners and the nobles can become knights, so that there will be no distinction between commoners and nobles in this continent, and there will be no nobles on this continent——

But that doesn't mean his hatred can be used in exchange.

"I refuse," he said.

"Oh?" The playful smile on Shisan's face deepened, "It's the short month of master-student friendship that makes you unable to bear to kill him?"

"Li Jing accepted me as his apprentice, just treating me as his pawn." Mu Yun said, "And I have sworn never to be anyone's pawn again, whether it is his or yours.

"So I won't kill for you for the sake of fire, whether it's Li Jing or anyone else.

"I won't be your pawn."

"it's a pity."

As Thirteen said, he sighed lightly.

"It's just that if you want to get the fire seed, I'm afraid you have to do what I say." She said, "because the fire seed is not on me, but in the ruins."

Mu Yun instantly understood what she meant.

Once Li Jing entered the Yin Ruins and found the fire, he would definitely destroy the fire.

If he wanted to get the fire seed, he had to get rid of Li Jing.

However, there is a problem -

"I can't beat Li Jing." Mu Yun said honestly, "I can't even beat you."

"Since that's the case, if you asked me to kill Li Jing, you're not as sure as you could do it yourself. Why haven't you done it yet?"

"Because I don't have a good enough chance." Thirteen also answered bluntly, "You think you can kill Li Jing with my little skill? Then you don't know your master too well."

She waved her hand to disperse Teng Mosquito, and looked at Mu Yun, "But in the Yin Ruins, you have a good enough chance to kill him."

Just as Mu Yun wanted to ask why he would have a better chance of making a move in the Yin Ruins, he heard a burst of noisy discussion from under the Imperial Pavilion and above the Imperial Palace!
Only King Teng said loudly: "What kind of rules are you going to go to the Yin Ruins!"

"This is my rule." Teng Wengong said lightly, "The rules I set have my own reasons."

Thirteen flicked his fingers lightly, and a holographic picture emerged in the air, which was exactly the picture of the Yin Ruins displayed by Teng Wengong on the imperial palace.

Yinxu, the ancient ruins left by the first battlefield of Donglin in the Millennium War according to legend.

However, it is impossible to test the exact location of the Yin Ruins thousands of years ago.

Like Dead Castle, Yin Ruins is just what people call this ancient ruin today.

The reason why Yinxu is called Yinxu is that it is located under the Yin Mountain.

But this Yin mountain is also very strange.

It is located just behind the Tianshou City, in the ancestral territory of the Teng family, rising from a vast plain, with only one lone peak, more than a thousand feet high.

According to the legend of the Millennium War, people buried all the ancient battlefields in order to seal the out-of-control king's army underground.

As a result, a large number of cities were buried underground, and it is inferred that the open plain behind the castle castle was also formed in this way.

The territory of Donglin also changed accordingly, and it was remade several times after the Millennium War.

However, according to the textual research of Donglin University scholars, there was no such mountain in the Donglin territory reproduced after the Millennium War.

It is a mountain that forcibly grew out of the ground within these 1000 years.

What's even more strange is that this Yin mountain is covered with a thick layer of dead butterflies all year round, so that people can't see what the original appearance of this mountain looks like.

This butterfly named Ye Liuli is somewhat similar to a butterfly called the monarch butterfly that has long been extinct on the human mother planet. It is not uncommon on this continent. Every year when the seasons change, there are millions of butterflies Ji's Ye Liuli butterfly crosses the sky of the mainland, migrating from southeast to northwest.The scales and wings of Yeliuli are colorful and radiant under the sun, which is really beautiful. At night, the scale powder on the butterfly wings emits a faint blue light, just like a blue light belt floating in the night sky, like a dream Fantastic, intoxicating.Therefore, the night glass migration on the mainland is also considered a great spectacle, and a large number of people come to watch it every year.

It's just that this Yin Mountain is not on the migration route of the Ye Liu Li butterflies, but the strange thing is that there are large groups of Ye Liu Li flying to the Yin Mountains all year round, day and night, and these butterflies often come from far away places. , Waiting to fly to Yinshan, the life span has come to an end.Therefore, on the Yin Mountain, there are dead butterflies all over the mountain, as if they have traveled thousands of miles to die, and even the trees are densely covered with dead butterflies, as if the whole tree is full of dead butterflies It is covered with faint blue leaves, and a large piece will fall off when the wind blows.When the wind blows, the fields around Yinshan Mountain are filled with blue butterfly wings flying all over the sky. The scene is both beautiful and eerie.

The scales on the wings of butterflies are poisonous, and some butterflies are so poisonous that the scales on a butterfly's wings alone are enough to kill an adult.The scale powder of the Ye Liuli butterfly is not very toxic. Most people who touch it will cause redness and swelling of the skin at most, but the scale powder raised by tens of millions of butterfly corpses accumulated in the air over the years is enough to make people who inhale Asphyxiation.Therefore, this Yin Mountain is like a mountain of death, within a hundred miles there is no one inhabited, and most people who want to pass by the Yin Mountain will take a long detour and dare not approach it.

On the top of Yinshan Mountain, there is an uninhabited ancient temple. It is said that it was built by the ancestors of the Teng family. There is a hanging bell in the ancient temple. Going down the hillside, remind the people passing by that this place is dangerous, and if you want to cherish your life, make a quick detour.

But there are always people who are not afraid of death in this world. Over the years, there have always been people who secretly climbed up the Yin Mountain with equipment, trying to dig out the secrets of this mountain, but the result is very surprising: no matter how deep they dig , All the rotten wings of butterflies were dug out, among which were mixed with the corpses of various beasts, ranging from the carrion of birds and rodents to the bones of griffins and beasts, and the more you dug down, the more the butterflies dug out The more bones are mixed in the residual wings.Someone even dug out a complete skeleton of a dragon beast, which proved that the dragon beast had not disappeared from the Donglin Continent until after the Millennium War.

At first people dug up the bones, but they didn't pay much attention to them. They just thought that these little beasts accidentally broke into the Yin Mountain and died from the poison of the butterfly scale powder. But as more and more bones were dug up, they became bigger and bigger. It seems that this mountain is simply a mountain of corpses made up of countless corpses and bones. It is puzzling enough why so many different kinds of beasts all ran to this Yin mountain to seek death.

What is even more frightening is that even if all of these people who have been to the Yin Mountain are wearing gas masks and protective clothing, they are all dead and crazy in the end. With the medical skills on the mainland, it is impossible to find out. What is the cause of their death.

So gradually there are rumors in the Donglin Continent that the so-called Yin Mountain is not a mountain at all, but a huge pile of corpses emerging from hell, and it is still growing year by year.

The ancestors of the Teng family were also very troubled that such an unlucky thing grew in their own territory.So, when it came to the generation of the great-grandfather of King Teng, the head of the Teng family planned to send someone to level the entire Yinshan Mountain and move it to fill the sea.At that time, the engineering mechs had already arrived at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, and not long after the construction started, there was the sad news that the head of the Teng family at that time—that is, the great-grandfather of King Xiao Teng died suddenly.

It is said that after the sudden death of King Teng's great-grandfather, the body was buried in his extremely luxurious bed curtain that night, and the faint blue night glass flew out from the seven orifices of his mouth, nose and mouth.In the morning of the next day, the servants opened the curtains on the bed, and countless night glass butterflies flew out. After fluttering around the room for a while, they smashed through the window and flew towards Yinshan.

After this incident, the Teng family withdrew the engineering armor that was going to open the mountain, and the Yinshan Mountain was closed for 200 years.After Teng Wengong became the head of the family, he was drawn by a group of night glass butterflies in his dream. He got up in the middle of the night and went barefoot into the Yin Mountain.

These folk legends about Yinshan Mountain were heard by Mu Yun not long after he arrived in Donglin.

Now that he has entered Dead Castle and seen the sea of ​​thorns, which is half mechanical and half plant, he can naturally guess that Yinshan is probably the same as the sea of ​​thorns. Mutation and growth made such a "big mountain" abruptly "grow" from the ground.

And there are so many beasts trapped to death in this semi-mechanical biological "big mountain", it is easy to explain-the thorns in the sea of ​​thorns will actively attack the intruders who enter the sea of ​​thorns, and even sneak attack standing outside the thorns The people in front of them dragged people into the sea of ​​thorns, presumably what happened in the Yin Mountains was roughly the same.

As for the bones that could not be dug up from the mountain, the person who entered the mountain who died mysteriously, and the old head of the Teng family who spit out glazed butterflies at night after his death, these rumors are not very reliable at first glance. According to what Li Jing analyzed to Mu Yun at the time, Most likely it was the Teng family's intentional release of the news, with the purpose of scaring the civilians of Donglin from approaching Yinshan.As for those diggers who kept sneaking into Yinshan Mountain, it is very likely that they were not civilians at all, but other aristocratic families in Donglin heard about the strangeness of Yinshan Mountain, speculated that what was buried under the mountain was the relic of the Millennium War, and sent people to sneak into the territory of the Teng family. Excavation was carried out in an attempt to discover the secrets of the Yin Ruins before the Teng family.These people died for no apparent reason, so they were naturally killed by the Teng family.

According to what Li Jing analyzed to Mu Yun at the time, the Teng family should have been excavating Yinshan Mountain for so many years, and it was not until the generation of the great-grandfather of King Teng that they dug out a tunnel from the mountainside. The road that can lead to the ruins.It's just that the great-grandfather found out that the secret buried under the Yin Mountain was too important. In order to prevent other aristocratic families from hearing the news and robbing it, and even starting a war against the Teng family to fight for this territory, he stopped the project on the surface. Dig in the dark instead.

As for the nonsense about Teng Wengong being led by butterflies in his dream and discovering the secret way into the Yin Ruins, in Li Jing’s words, it’s reasonable and you don’t need to pay attention to it, but anyone with a brain just needs to think about it. Most of the secret way is the top secret that is only passed on to the Patriarch, so after Teng Wengong succeeded the Patriarch, he naturally mastered this secret way into the Yin Ruins, but the little Teng King who inherited Teng Jiaxing knew nothing about this secret .

However, Mu Yun still remembered when Li Jing told himself that the successive Patriarchs of the Teng family had mastered this secret path so far, but only Teng Wengong decided to disclose this secret. There is no benefit, but it will cause chaos in the world; or the situation in this Yin Ruins is very dangerous, even the Teng family has not really entered the core part of the Yin Ruins, and Teng Wengong had to put all his eggs in one basket for some reason. Only then will the secrets of the Yin Ruins be revealed.

"It's very simple, think about those butterflies." Mu Yun still remembers what Li Jing said at the time, "Even if there is a lot of water in the legend about Yinshan Mountain, those butterflies are real. The rumors of a large number of herd bones are also true. I can even be sure that those animals share a common feature with the Ye Liuli Butterfly.

"They're all migratory animals.

"Whether it is a night glazed butterfly, or other birds and beasts, or even dragons and beasts, they all have the ability of magnetic induction in their bodies. In other words, to migrate, they rely on the natural compass in their bodies to sense the magnetic field of the stars, so as to carry out migration. Navigation, and these animals deviated from their original migration route and ran to the Yin Mountain, which can only explain one thing——

"No matter what kind of place Yinxu was before the Millennium War, there must be some kind of object inside it that can generate a huge magnetic field, disrupting the original magnetic induction ability of animals, making them mistakenly think that Yinshan is their destination. This The object may be man-made and run on energy, or it may be some kind of celestial body fragments that fell in the era of legends. But no matter what it is, for those who want to enter the Yinxu Said, will be a great trouble!
"Because this means that the general detection methods will be ineffective due to electromagnetic interference in the Yin Ruins, and even the electronic brains of the level of servants and sharp races will be disturbed in the Yin Ruins, causing their behavior to be disordered. Can't move an inch!

"This is why, with the manpower and material resources of the Teng family, it will take several generations of work to dig a secret road into the Yin Ruins in the Yin Mountains, because this road can only be opened by people!" Li Jing Said, "And I believe that the Teng family must have paid a great price in order to open this secret passage, but how far they have come in the Yin Ruins, and even whether Teng Wengong himself has really entered the Yin Ruins, this is a matter of fact. I don't know."

"I can only be sure of one thing, and that is that the ancient battlefield of Yinxu must be a hundred times more dangerous than Death Castle!"

Mu Yun raised his head, fixed his eyes on the picture of the Yin Ruins floating in the air, and listened to Teng Wengong's words above the imperial palace. He was a little surprised to realize that most of Li Jing's speculations about the Yin Ruins All are correct.

But there is one thing that even Li Jing couldn't predict——

That is, battle armor cannot enter the Yin Ruins.
