Chapter 177: The Secret of the Unknown Dark Temple (1)
Under normal circumstances, serving tea and pouring water, entertaining guests, these do not need to be reminded by the heavens, and Qikui will handle them properly.
However, today's situation is different, it is Ji Qinglan who came, and Qikui did not treat her as a guest.
Ji Qinglan's words did not mean any provocation, but she heard the embarrassment on the face of the sky and Qikui.
As for Long Qing, he still had a murderous aura, as if he hadn't heard anything, and his expression hadn't changed much.
Qi Kui looked at Cang Tianqi, and his eyes sought Cang Tianqi's opinion.
Cang Tianqi nodded and waved his hand, indicating that Qikui could go and prepare.
Qikui respectfully retreated, and Cang Tianqi shifted his gaze back to Ji Qinglan's body, and said lightly: "How can I still let you invite you here, the spiritual tea will come up in a while, you can drink it casually, I will be full." ”
Ji Qinglan didn't seem to hear the sound of the cang's words, and nodded: "Then thank you first." ”
The words fell, and without waiting for the sky to abandon and then speak, Ji Qinglan spoke first and continued.
"The Unknown Temple has a powerful enchantment, I'm sure you have seen it, because of the existence of this enchantment, I can't leave the Unknown Dark Temple. ”
Seeing that Ji Qinglan had already started to talk about business, Cang Tian gave up his words and took them back, and then listened carefully to every word Ji Qinglan said.
"I don't remember how many years I've been trapped in the Unknown Dark Temple, but there is one thing I do, and that is the weak period of every time this enchantment, this day, I have never forgotten. ”
"It is also on this day that my power can tear a hole in the barrier and let the monks from the outside world enter. However, I still can't get out, because I have a mark on my body, and unless I shatter the entire barrier, I won't be able to leave the barrier even if I tear more holes in the barrier, and that's the magic of this barrier. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Qinglan paused, looked at the sky, and asked.
"I'm sure you must be very puzzled in your heart, since I can't get out, why do I have to spend my strength to tear apart the enchantment and let the monks from the outside world enter the enchantment?"
Indeed, Ji Qinglan's question was exactly what Cang Tianqi was thinking at this time, but he didn't speak, the words were all said to this point, and he knew that Ji Qinglan would continue to speak.
Sure enough, after just a pause, Ji Qinglan continued to speak, as if she didn't expect Cang Tianqi to answer her anything.
"When a monk from the outside world enters the unknown dark temple to seize the treasure, he will definitely fight, because the human heart is greedy. If there is fighting, there will be bloodshed, there will be death, and after death, resentment will be formed. And a lot of blood and resentment is the best way to corrode the enchantment. ”
"At first, there were no treasures in the Unknown Dark Temple, just a large number of demon beasts and a small number of treasures that I took out privately. But slowly, things changed. ”
"As the reputation of the Unknown Dark Temple in the Western Regions is getting worse and worse, there are more and more monks entering the Unknown Dark Temple to seize treasures, and most of them have fallen in the Dark Temple, and their storage bags have naturally become my bag. ”
"And I, collect and organize these monks' storage bags, and pick out valuable items, which have become the capital to attract the next group of monks to fight in the unknown temple. ”
"Because of this, the Unknown Temple has endured for countless years, and every time it is opened, it will attract a large number of monks to go to hunt for treasures, they fight in the Unknown Temple, their blood, the resentment formed before their death, accumulates more and more in the Unknown Temple, and the corrosion of the Unknown Temple enchantment is getting stronger and stronger, and these are what I really want. Only after the barrier has been corroded to a certain extent can I figure out a way to actually break it. ”
Ji Qinglan's words made Cang Tianqi feel a little shocked, but there was no surprise.
Because, he has long had a guess in his heart about this matter, but it has never been confirmed.
And Ji Qinglan's approach, the sky does not exclude it.
People die for money, birds die for food, they are all adults, before they choose, many consequences must be considered, there is no pie in the sky, there is a return for paying.
Since you want to get it, and you want to enter the unknown dark temple to seek opportunities, then before entering, you should be prepared for the fall.
Ji Qinglan couldn't leave the Unknown Dark Temple, so naturally she couldn't forcibly coerce others into the Unknown Dark Temple, she just took advantage of the greed of human nature.
After all, these monks all stepped into the Unknown Dark Temple voluntarily, and before they entered, they also knew that entering the Unknown Dark Temple would be a life of death, but they were still willing to do so.
Knowing that it is a fire pit, but still jumping into the fire pit, I can't pull it, who can blame it?
In this world of cannibalism, the rise of a strong man does not have mountains and seas of bones under his feet.
Therefore, Cang Tianqi did not have any rejection of this, if he was Ji Qinglan, he would do the same.
Now he is no longer the boy who first entered the cultivation realm, the boy who is full of innocence, he has seen too much death, every time he is faced with a choice, he no longer thinks about the life and death of outsiders, but how to live for himself and his friends.
Dead friends don't die in poor ways, he doesn't say that he has learned the essence now, but he also understands the truth, which is more important, he has his own opinion.
Although she does not reject Ji Qinglan's approach, it can be seen from this point that Ji Qinglan is not so cute as she seems on the surface, and under the cute smile on her face at that moment, what is hidden is a ruthless killing decisiveness.
In order to break the barrier and regain her freedom, she did not hesitate to pay the lives of thousands of monks, and it is no exaggeration to say that these monks died indirectly at her hands.
Some, even died directly at her hands.
Cang Tian Qi has heard that some powerful monks entered the unknown dark temple to hunt for treasures, and they relied on their own strength to kill and loot in the unknown dark temple, but these powerful monks were very difficult to get out of the unknown dark temple in the end.
The reason is naturally very simple, it was removed by Ji Qinglan.
Ji Qinglan definitely didn't want to see such a powerful existence destroy the balance in the Unknown Dark Temple, and she didn't want to see these guys take a large number of treasures out of the Unknown Dark Temple, and of course they stayed in the Unknown Dark Temple forever.
It is precisely because this kind of thing has not happened only once, and over time, there is an unwritten rule in the Western Regions.
Those who are truly powerful will not enter the Unknown Dark Temple, not because they look down on the treasures in the Unknown Dark Temple, so they disdain to enter the Unknown Dark Temple, but because the truly powerful guys almost can't get out of the Unknown Dark Temple.
With such a big pit, how could these powerful monks who had a high status in the Western Regions be willing to go in and die.
Only those who can't make an inch of cultivation, have little life left, and are extremely confident in their own strength, thinking that they can eat even if they enter the Unknown Dark Temple, only they are willing to enter the Unknown Dark Temple.
It is true that in addition to these two kinds of people, those who enter the unknown dark temple with other purposes are not absent every time they open it, but they are very few.
There are even fewer people like Cang Tianqi and Sun You who want to go in and make a fortune.
This is the unwritten rule of the Western Regions, the unwritten rule for entering the unknown dark temple.
"I'm sure you think I'm cruel and willing to sacrifice the lives of others for the sake of my own freedom. Ji Qinglan asked.
Cang Tianqi didn't answer, not that he was too lazy to answer, but that Ji Qinglan didn't give him a chance to answer at all.
"I can't remember how many years I've been trapped in the Dark Temple of the Unknown, whether it's a thousand years, or ten thousand years, or even longer. Ji Qinglan reminisced with a face, and when she said this, she shook her head, as if she didn't want to remember it anymore, and it seemed that she really couldn't remember it.
"I've been trapped in the dark temple for too long, and sometimes I don't even know if I'm still alive, and I'm the only one in the whole world, I'm sure you've never experienced that feeling, so I'm going to come out, I'm going to break the barrier, I'm going to regain my freedom. ”
Ji Qinglan was stunned, and the entire courtyard was extremely quiet because her voice stopped.
And Cang Tianqi frowned, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he became a prisoner of Tianji Pavilion.
That feeling, that kind of grievance, that kind of helplessness, he still remembers it vividly.
Although Ji Qinglan's experience was not the same as that of him becoming a prisoner of Tianji Pavilion, there were similarities.
A small prison and a larger prison.
