Chapter 12: The Tomb of Despair (2)

What Xi Mutong is facing is a completely dead city. Although there is no wind and snow in the city, it is cold everywhere. The ruined buildings, with their strange backs to the sun, cast shadows. Walking on the bluestone path, it seems that you can reach out and touch ghosts.

Before coming to the main hall, there is a bell tower that is high into the sky on the side of the hall, and a huge bell is hung on the top of the building, because it has not been used for a long time, the body of the bell is rusty and covered with dust, and it seems that it can no longer be shaken.

Xi Mutong walked up the stone steps of white marble to the main hall, and when he arrived at the entrance of the hall, he saw a simple and carved mahogany door. The door was no longer difficult to open, she gently pushed open a crack and flashed sideways, but as soon as her foot stepped in, the door "clanged" and closed behind her.

Her eyes suddenly fell into darkness, because she didn't know if there was an ambush here, and she didn't dare to use the starlight of the Finger Heaven Zen, so she could only slowly grope inside.

After sneaking around for a while, and making sure that there was no one around, she pointed to the stars and looked around her body in the faint light, only to find that there was no ambush around her, as if she had been swept away by a flood, and there was nothing.

In the empty hall, only on both sides of the main hall, huge scarlet curtains hung high from the top of the hall, revealing indescribable solemnity.

The curtain stopped at the temple steps, and she cautiously ascended the stairs until she reached the top, where she saw a throne studded with strange gems and shining with radiance.

She was taken aback, knowing that such a noble throne was definitely not something that ordinary princes and nobles could have, and the identity of this strange person was really incomprehensible!

walked all the way to the throne and looked down, Xi Mutong suddenly felt like a lightning strike, and the whole person was stunned.

After she confirmed that she was not dazzled, she pushed her palm without saying a word, sucked it towards the throne pedestal, and when her palm was unfolded again, there were already a few more wilted pear petals in her palm.

She looked at the palm of her hand and said to herself, "These petals are by no means sprinkled and old, at most they will fall from the tree for ten days." Mr. Yufeng, you said that you no longer care about the world and have never been to this palace, how should these petals be explained?"

Just as she was hesitating, a dark shadow was unexpectedly reflected by her starlight, reflecting on the jade ground next to the throne, and she jumped up again.

"Who?"

She clearly checked that this hall was empty, how could there be a black shadow again? When I caught up a few steps, I saw the back of a big bird.

The big bird seemed to have no intention of avoiding her, and suddenly stopped as it ran, turned around, twisted its head from side to side, and stared at her curiously, its fiery eyes were not only hostile, but slightly funny eyes more as if it indicated acquaintance with her. Only then did she see that it was an eagle with white down feathers on its head and black feathers on its whole body as black as black glaze.

"Eagle!" she exclaimed, unable to believe what she was seeing, "In this world, there is still a Eagle-headed Eagle alive?"

Afraid of startling the eagle, she moved away from the starlight and slowly moved closer to it. But although Mantou Eagle did not avoid her, it was obvious that he did not intend to get close to her, but nodded his head spiritually, as if to say hello, and then jumped and ran away, disappearing into the darkness.

"Where did Mantou Eagle go?" Xi Mutong looked around the hall in amazement, but he couldn't find a second passage except for the gate he entered.

She wanted to continue her search, but she was about to reach the throne when she heard a "boom", the door of the temple was pushed open, and a beam of sunlight shone in from outside, casting a straight and slender figure with a long robe placket at the door, and the feather wind appeared.
