My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 317: Temple of the Dead (Part )

The Temple of the Dead is located in the central area of ​​the Dead Mountains.

It is said that this was once the tomb of a powerful underworld lord. After his fall, his followers built a temple above the tomb to worship him.

Until now, there are still many ghosts wandering here. These lonely ghosts float in the restricted area of ​​rules, guarding their former leader. At the same time, they also become another obstacle for the two territories to cross the border after the rules.

After a day of trekking, Jiang Chen finally saw the dilapidated temple on the top of the mountain in the distance.

It was a huge stone temple with dozens of thick stone pillars supporting the temple, but the dome had been broken. It looked somewhat similar to the temple in the Prison of Fate.

Hundreds of stone steps extend downwards, surrounded by withered trees. The bleak and chilly wind brings a desolate and dead atmosphere to this place. When the wind blows, the branches of the trees sway in the wind like human arms.

Stepping on the stone steps leading to the top of the mountain, Jiang Chen felt that his body seemed to be lighter, but his steps became slower.

An extreme contradiction.

You feel your body becoming lighter, but it's difficult to walk.

With a deep feeling of fatigue, he walked up step by step. When he arrived at the Temple of the Dead and approached the entrance, he saw a huge stone tablet standing on the platform of the stone steps.

Engraved on the stone tablet were the root runes, shining with a strange light.

Taboo pages?

No, it's not.

This is not a page of a book, but it is indeed some runic content on the root.

If the source is a prostitute, and you have to pay to read every time, then now, this prostitute is just standing here.

Come on, guests, please pay for your knowledge points!

Bai Feifei followed him up the steps and looked at the stone tablet: "Is it the root? What does it say?"

"It's a one-time paid reading. I don't know why you don't want to spend money." Jiang Chen regretted.

He didn't tell the whole truth. After all, he still knew part of the root, but he hadn't used it. So he could understand some of the root characters on the stone tablet, but unfortunately, he couldn't form a sentence.

"It would be great if we could open VIP users." Bai Feifei smiled.

She has some knowledge, but definitely not enough to read so much complete content.

"Yes, the root interpretation ability should be for VIP users. If you have 100% root interpretation, maybe the knowledge point fee will be reduced. By the way... repeated reading? It will make it easier to remember."

"Then it's not easy to open this VIP."

"It's a monopoly business." Jiang Chen smiled.

The two people stood in front of the stone tablet and chatted casually, and Jiang Chen's eyes fell on the temple.

From the outside, the temple appears to be empty, with only a huge sculpture standing in the center.

That was not a sculpture of the Four Gods, but a human-shaped ghost fog.

To be able to carve out a misty and hazy feeling out of stone definitely requires a god-level sculptor. Jiang Chen had a vague feeling that it might not be a sculpture, but a real petrified netherworld.

Walking around the stone tablet, Jiang Chen entered the hall.

Looking at the sculpture up close, it is so tall and strange, with a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

There were large blue-grey slabs under his feet, and a strange sun was shining above the broken dome. The walls around him were imprinted with the shadows of endless wailing undead, as if they were countless suffering beings in misery, and he could even hear the wailing sounds faintly.

Jiang Chen closed his eyes, and under the perception of the underworld, some white spots of light appeared faintly around him, some in the shape of humans, some in the shape of animals, and even the torch-like existence that had disappeared before.

It stood far away, not close.

interesting!

It was said that there were many ghosts guarding this place? Why didn't they attack?

Bai Feifei said softly: "I feel like something is not right here."

"Haha, that's right."

Jiang Chen walked around the temple and found nothing new. He turned to look at Bai Feifei and was about to speak.

Bai Feifei's face suddenly changed: "Be careful!"

hiss!
On the wall behind Jiang Chen, a wailing ghost face suddenly came to life and bit Jiang Chen's neck.

Jiang Chen didn't even turn his head and flicked his finger.

boom!
The ghost face paused for a moment, then silently shrank back.

What's happening here?
Bai Feifei was stunned.

Jiang Chen laughed softly.

Then he came to the center of the temple, sat down in front of the Ghost Mist sculpture, and asked, "When will your father come?"

Bai Feifei lowered her head: "There are still more than two days until the agreed time, why are you in such a hurry?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "Boss Bai doesn't seem like someone who likes to go to work on time. He is not working for others, so it is necessary to step on the plate in advance."

"The question is, what is there to step on?" Bai Feifei replied.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, that's the problem."

To put it bluntly, this trip to the Temple of the Dead is to see if Jiang Luo replies. Under normal circumstances, Bai Shou can just come in person, and at most Zhao Xiaoqi can be added, who was also invited by Jiang Chen and has nothing to do with Bai Shou.

But everything seems to have a deeper meaning - Bai Shou did not show up, Zhao Xiaoqi did not show up, and Bai Feifei's strange attitude all indicate that there may be another story here.

Besides, Jiang Chen didn’t see the clock either!

How to contact without a clock?

But on the other hand, it's normal to have no clock.

After all, ringing the bell was an agreement between Jiang Luo and his son, not an agreement with Bai Shou.

Therefore, there must be a contact method that Bai Shou believes can allow Jiang Luo to break through the restrictions.

But Jiang Chen would not say these. He just took out the food and ate it slowly, thinking and feeling it.

Bai Feifei didn't say anything either. She just sat next to the stone tablet, with her back against it, her eyes full of stories.

I don't know how long they sat there, she suddenly asked: "Did you figure it out?"

Jiang Chen chuckled: "I just know that you won't hurt me, that's enough."

Bai Feifei sighed: "Actually, there are some things I don't really understand, my father doesn't tell me. But my father also often gives me some guidance."

Jiang Chen looked at her.

Bai Feifei said: "He often said that things are often related to each other. If an arrangement exists, there must be a meaning behind it."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Hmm. For example, why is it arranged here? I guess... they have been here before."

Bai Feifei smiled: "I knew you would think of it. Anything else?"

Jiang Chen continued, "Uncle Bai is not from the Chaos system, he is from the Netherworld system, and his home continent is the Weird Land. Under normal circumstances, there is no reason for him to come here. But he came here, and he came with my father."

"Go on." Bai Feifei said.

Jiang Chen smiled: "I don't see any way to connect with my father here, but fortunately I know my father well..."

"Just say there's no clock."

"Well, yes, there is no clock, but there are many strange things. Is there a tomb here? Maybe the message from my father is not a certain word? But to do something?"

Bai Feifei looked at him doubtfully: "He can't even get his message across, how can he have an impact here?"

"Isn't that the answer Uncle Bai wants?" Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Perhaps the original Elders Council only wanted the secrets of fusion and immigration, but as events progressed, perhaps they had another need? That is, how did my father manage to arrange all this while being imprisoned? Isn't that why Uncle Bai hid it on you? Did he think he could see through me?"
