6. The Reappearance of Xiao Huang and the Tomb of the Ancient Shu Kingdom

"This is, what's going on..." Su Mu was almost speechless, "Also, why are we here? We're not... aren't we in a museum?!"

"...This seems to be the former site of the ancient Shu Kingdom. In other words, this is the real ancient Shu Kingdom." Fu Qingluan looked around, thought for a while, and finally came to this conclusion.

"Ancient Shu Kingdom?!" Su Mu exclaimed.

"Well," Fu Qingluan nodded, and continued, "I was locked in the bronze statue from the beginning of the mission, and my power was also locked by an unknown force. Of course, there are benefits, I read the bronze statue. Human memory. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t be able to learn the incantations of the ancient Shu Kingdom. At the same time, it’s because of his body’s verification that the golden staff can obey me, allowing me to open the Tongtian Tree smoothly.”

"The memory of the Bronze Standing Man? Isn't the Bronze Standing Man a sculpture? Why..." Su Mu felt at a loss and felt that there were more and more mysteries.

"People in the ancient Shu Kingdom never cast portraits at random," Fu Qingluan sneered, "the ashes of the burnt human body were added to bronze raw materials, and there was a soul trapped inside. In other words, bronze statues It's their grave."

Su Mu felt creepy.Thinking that the bronze man he touched before was actually covered with ashes, Su Mu felt goosebumps all over his body.Fu Qingluan glanced at Su Mu, stretched out his hand to hold Su Mu's hand tightly, and signaled him to calm down: "According to my memory, the ancient Shu Kingdom has a long history and a developed society. Because it is located in a basin, it has always lived an isolated life. .They have their own beliefs, and the whole country is a theocracy. There is no king, and the high priest is the highest religious and secular ruler. Ancient Shu is a very strange country. Very strange, very strange...it seems that everyone has Mana, they can cast spells to varying degrees. Due to the application of spells, they are self-sufficient and live a good life. The bronze Dali man I possessed before was the last priest of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and his mana seems to be far away. Surpassing the previous generation, it is quite strong...very strong."

"Everyone has mana?"

"Yes, and I have a feeling..."

"what?"

"This mana is the same as my power. They seem to have the same source." Fu Qingluan also seemed puzzled.

"By the way," Su Mu suddenly remembered something, and he shouted excitedly, "Didn't you say that every sculpture has a soul trapped in it? Then can you contact the soul of the bronze standing man?"

"No," Fu Qingluan shook his head, "This is the strangest point of all the problems. There is no soul in that bronze standing man's body, but he did leave me with a lot of memories, as if he was guiding me to Do something. Even the last step—using the golden staff to open the Tongtian Tree, and coming here is all reminded by memory.”

"memory?"

"Yes, memory. I can feel that it wants me to do this, and I can feel that doing so will definitely avoid danger."

"But..." Su Mu felt that his brain was not enough anymore, "But you said that the bronze Dali man is the strongest priest in history, and he should be respected, so why was he hunted down? Also, Since everyone has bronze statues, why are there only those left? I heard during the day that all these bronze statues were burnt, so why..."

Fu Qingluan was noncommittal, expressing that he knew nothing: "I don't know. The memory allows me to know very limited things, and most of the secrets have not been known to me. But now my power has recovered half, although It’s still restricted, but it shouldn’t matter if you complete a small task. Let’s see what happens.”

"Hey..." Su Mu looked at Fu Qingluan speechlessly, "Didn't you still use 'I' to call yourself before, why do you use 'this seat' now?"

Is it really a shame that you made yourself a mouthful of this seat?

"I like it." Fu Qingluan replied arrogantly with a raised voice.

"...It's muddy," Su Mu raised his hands above his head and clasped them together, expressing that he was completely convinced, "By the way, what is our mission, do you know?" Finally thinking of the crux of the problem, Su Mu asked aloud.

"I didn't know it before, but I know it now." Fu Qingluan raised his hand, made a complicated gesture in the void, and a scroll immediately appeared, "Here, I just received it. Let's read it together."

Su Mu curiously took the scroll away and looked at it.The ancient scroll was covered with bloodstains, and the characters were also written in blood.The scattered words and the information conveyed in it made Su Mu's blood drop to freezing point in an instant.

"Mission goal: Completely destroy the ancient Shu Kingdom."

"What kind of mission is this, shit!" Su Mu couldn't help shouting out, "Not to mention that we don't know anything now, besides, it's okay to destroy a country? It's sick!"

Fu Qingluan didn't say anything, just raised his legs and walked forward.

"Qingluan, where are you going?" Su Mu followed up in two steps in three steps, and asked Fu Qingluan while walking.

"Go to the ancestral hall. There must be some clues there." Fu Qingluan frowned, "Although I also think this mission is very strange, but... let's go and see first."

"Oh..." Su Mu obediently followed without saying anything.

Along the way, there were all those frozen scenes, so that Su Mu didn't dare to look around at all, so he could only hold Fu Qingluan's hand and walked forward with his head depressed, while feeling numb in his heart, wishing he could escape from this purgatory on earth as soon as possible.All kinds of weird creatures filled the whole street, and the scene of killing each other was frozen at the most real moment.Hatred, despair, grief, distortion... all kinds of negative emotions appear on everyone's face.The once bustling streets were full of blood, and the ground was covered with debris, flesh and limbs.

What caused this country to undergo a sudden change?What is it that must destroy this country?

The ancestral hall was already in sight, and at this moment, Fu Qingluan suddenly stopped. "What's wrong?" Su Mu didn't expect that Fu Qingluan would stop suddenly, and bumped into Fu Qingluan without paying attention.

Fu Qingluan stretched out his hand, absorbed a little strength, gently rubbed Su Mu's flushed forehead, and said while massaging, "Xiao Huang disappeared."

"Little Huang?" Su Mu didn't expect this answer, and felt a little strange, "Hasn't Xiao Huang been with you all the time? He was the one who sent me the news about visiting the museum at night!"

"Yes, it was always there before. It's just that just now..." Fu Qingluan's face was a little ugly, "Suddenly disappeared."

Su Mu was also silent.Although the relationship with the little yellow bird is not very deep, although there was once the idea of ​​sacrificing him to protect Fu Qingluan, although the time we spend together is not long, the little thing is indeed arrogant enough, but...

But at this moment, knowing that something might happen to the little yellow bird, it still feels very uncomfortable.

"Let's go." Fu Qingluan narrowed his eyes and looked at the ancestral hall in front of him for a while, and said.

"Ok?"

"Go to the ancestral hall first."

we can only do this.

The huge tower, with the shape of eyes, is all over every corner.The most special thing is that door, which is also made into the shape of a huge eye.The two doorknobs inlaid with jade were scorched by the fire, but they still looked extravagant.The entire tower was bathed in fire and was in a state of being burned.

Su Mu and Fu Qingluan paused, and opened the door. With a creak, the door opened, and they walked into the still fire.

Inside the gate, there is a scene of people turning their backs on their backs.All the sacrificial utensils were overturned and damaged, and the original scene could hardly be seen.In the fire, everything was severely burned, only the giant eyes carved all over the wall were still glowing coldly, but they were also slightly deformed by the roast.

Along the wall of the tower, there is a spiral staircase, which spirals up the tower, going up layer by layer, and finally leads to the top of the tower.Su Mu followed Fu Qingluan and walked up step by step.Due to a little fear of heights, Su Mu still focused on the road under his feet, and didn't dare to look around at all.Along the way, the wind was blowing, and there was always a feeling of numbness in the back.After thinking about it, Su Mu still reminded: "Qingluan..."

"What's the matter?" Fu Qingluan thought that Su Mu was afraid, so he held Su Mu's hand even tighter, and comforted him, "It's okay, I'm here."

"No," Su Mu shook his head, "What I want to say is that I feel like someone is following us."

Fu Qingluan turned his head and looked around.In the quiet ancestral hall, there was nothing but the people and monsters fighting at the bottom, and the things whose pause button was pressed. "Let's go," Fu Qingluan took Rasumu's hand, "It's okay, trust me."

Su Mu nodded, and walked forward with Fu Qingluan.

Before I knew it, I was one step away from the top of the ancestral hall.I saw the long stone stairs going around and around, and finally leading to the small house at the top.Strange totems are carved on the door panel, and the patterns cover the entire door.Fu Qingluan walked to the gate, stretched out his hand, and touched it lightly, with thoughtful eyes: "It seems...where have I seen it before."

"Have you seen it?" Su Mu looked at the closed door.During the fire, the door didn't deform at all, and it still fits perfectly. It looks very old, and it has been handed down for thousands of years. It is the most important part of the tower.

"Yes... Do you still remember that in the fourth mission, you were once locked in the inner world?"

"I remember, how could I forget..." Su Mu was waving his hands and suddenly stopped talking.Apparently, he was thinking the same thing.His pupils dilated suddenly, "You mean..."

"Yes." Fu Qingluan nodded, "You are locked inside the door, and the decoration on the door is exactly the same as this door."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the door suddenly opened automatically.

The door slowly opened, and at a glance, the silhouette of a familiar little yellow bird instantly came into view.Before Su Mu called "Little Huang" in surprise, a burst of light exploded, causing Su Mu's eyes to hurt and he couldn't see anything.

When his eyesight finally recovered, he was no longer a bird in front of him.

is a man.

The man was facing Su Mu and Fu Qingluan, standing in the deepest part of the room.There was no light in the entire room, only the firelight outside provided a little light, but it also made the inside look more eerie.I couldn't see anything clearly, I could only see a tall and thin man with long hair flying, standing where he was, muttering something to Su Mu and Fu Qingluan:

"Welcome to the cemetery of the ancient Shu Kingdom."

That man's voice was exactly the same as Xiao Huang's.
