Chapter 223: One case of accidentally entering the barrier
A hole was opened in the powerful barrier space.
Ye Lan didn't hesitate and wanted to step over, but at this moment, his arm was grabbed by a hand.
"Don't go in."
A familiar deep voice came to his ears, and Ye Lan looked back in surprise. Someone at his feet had entered the barrier without noticing.
There was a strong suction within the barrier, and the two of them were pulled in instantly.
Ye Lan fell to the ground and stood firm before looking back at the man who was brought in together, "Why are you here?"
The man was wearing a white suit. He looked like he had just rushed from an important banquet. His neatly styled hair was scattered in front of his forehead, adding a touch of popularity to his indifferent temperament.
"I said I would attend the inauguration ceremony, but something delayed me." Xiao Yunting did not expect that the director of the museum would lead a group of them to Liuli City. After receiving the news, he rushed there, but unfortunately it was a step too late.
Ye Lan had just recognized the wrong person, but now he had no doubts, but was just curious, "You didn't let me in just now, did you know there was something weird in Liulic City?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yunting did not hide anything. He nodded directly and said in a deep voice: "Well, Liulic City was discovered by Xiao in the first place."
At that time, the Xiao family planned to build a new building, and it happened to be located in this area. As a result, the construction team dug out a blue brick after just two days of digging, thus discovering a lost civilization.
Ye Lan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that there was Xiao's handwriting among them, "So you know what's going on with the seal?"
Since the land was bought by Xiao, the man in front of him must know what will happen next in Liulicheng.
As expected, Xiao Yunting told the whole story without thinking.
It turned out that someone died on the first day when the construction team dug out the bricks.
Over the next two days, there were mysterious deaths of people nearby.
Xiao Yunting's people were well-informed and quickly made contact with the evil spirits, and invited the masters of Jinguang Temple to recite mantras day and night before digging.
And on the day when the entire Liuli City was revealed, the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds and bursts of black rain fell.
"The demon god was unearthed, no good, bury it again quickly!"
The moment the black rain fell, the marble on the ground was corroded. Countless workers present suffered disaster and screamed everywhere.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, the abbot of Jinguang Temple noticed that there was a seal attached to Liuli City. Although the seal had weakened after years of history, it still gave him a glimmer of hope.
At this point in the story, Ye Lan had already guessed the ending and continued softly, "So the host used his own energy to strengthen the seal."
"Yes." Xiao Yunting responded slowly with a deep voice.
There was a brief silence between the two.
Because they all know that using vitality to strengthen the seal is extremely harmful to longevity, especially the evil spirit that can cause weather phenomena. I am afraid that the host has already exhausted his energy and passed away.
But there is always cause and effect in the world. Neither of them are overly sentimental people, so they quickly changed the topic and wanted to solve the current predicament.
"If it is reinforced with soul, I won't be able to crack it for a while." Ye Lan said truthfully.
The barriers are divided into strong and weak ones. The weakest one is a ghost wall that mainly uses blinding techniques, and the strongest one is a seal at the expense of one's own soul and flesh.
Now that he has entered, Ye Lan can clearly feel that in addition to the host of Jinguang Temple, there is another person whose soul is injected into the barrier.
Moreover, both of them were very strong, and even she would have to break her muscles to break it.
"Since it can't be broken, it can only be solved." Ye Lan quickly made a decision, raising his eyes to look at the pavilions and pavilions in front of him that were emitting dim light and were as beautiful as a fairyland in a dream, "You know Xuanwu Ji How many?"
To unlock the seal, you must first understand the origin of the barrier.
At present, there is only one character in the history of Liulic City that she knows - the demon queen Xuan Wuji.
She is the master of this city, and the source of the barrier most likely comes from her.
Xiao Yunting had read the information on Liulicheng at that time, and his photographic memory allowed him to immediately retell this incomplete history in full.
Xuanwuji was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. She was married back to the palace by Liu Yongqiang, the then fatuous emperor of the Five Dynasties. Later, because of her ability to charm the emperor, Liu Yong insisted on making Xuanwuji his queen, despite the objections of his courtiers. .
"Three years after the seal, the Five Dynasties were divided. Liu Yongyong worked hard to govern, but instead spent money and people to build the Liuli City and welcomed Xuanwuji to settle in the East Palace. On the day of handing over the Phoenix Seal, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty risked their lives to remonstrate but failed, and the rear city was destroyed one after another. Liu Yongye stayed in Liulicheng and refused to see his subjects or send troops.
Later, public dissatisfaction spread, and rebels united with other countries to rush into the capital, beheaded Xuanwu Ji with a knife, and hanged her body on the city tower. "
This period of history only exists in unofficial history, and is the only record of the Five Dynasties, so the authenticity cannot be verified.
But looking at every brick and tile in the palace, the exquisite style of women is everywhere. There are carved beams and paintings everywhere on the walls, and the surrounding furnishings are extremely luxurious. Some of the gold, silver and jade articles still retain their style at that time. It can be seen that The craftsmanship is superb and the owner of this glazed city designed it with great care.
However, Ye Lan still maintains his opinion on the statement of the Demon Queen.
"If it were just an ordinary woman, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to create such a big energy to stir up the wind and rain. There should be other stories behind it." She thought for a moment and pointed to the entrance of the main palace, "Let's go in and take a look."
"Okay." Xiao Yunting nodded, and the next second he took the lead and walked ahead.
Ye Lan couldn't help but feel a little amused when she saw that his face was calm and calm, and he was stunned for a moment.
For those who didn’t know, they thought he was the one who knew the occult arts.
But this man seemed to be born with no fear. Even after witnessing the black rain and the tragic scene of workers' corpses strewn across the fields, he still showed no change in his expression towards the demon that might be lurking in the dark.
Because it was within the barrier, outside lights could not penetrate, so at this time every brick and tile in the city was crystal clear and exuding its original brilliance.
Entering from the main hall, there are jewelry piled on the table, some weathered food, and bones lying on the ground. The bones are so broken that they can turn into powder when stepped on.
"It looks like on the day when people besieged Liulicheng, something happened just after the jewelry was plundered and before they could be moved away." Ye Lan made a preliminary judgment based on the situation at the scene.
At this time, Xiao Yunting pointed to the imperial platform and said in a deep voice: "Look over there."
Ye Lan looked in the direction and saw a jade case on the luminous steps in the building. There were clearly many books and bamboo slips stacked on the case.
If these things can withstand the erosion of time, then they may learn the truth of history and find out the secrets of this glazed city.
Without further delay, she jumped up and flew directly to the jade platform. She lowered her eyes and found that there was actually a intact piece of paper on the table. She couldn't help but be stunned, and then reached out to pick it up and check it.
However, at this moment, a scream came from somewhere.
"what!"
Ye Lan's ears twitched and he realized that the voice was that of He Fei who had barged in earlier. Remembering the clues he was still looking for, he pulled away and wanted to save people first.
But as soon as she lifted her legs to leave, she found that she was frozen.
