Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 41: The Messenger of the Ruins Temple

"No way!"

Haitang Duoduo was shocked. If it was really as Leng Feibai said, then wouldn’t their trip be in vain?
"Go in and take a look first. If there's anyone there, let's retreat!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel depressed. He was not worried about others occupying the ruins of Shura Palace, so he could just leave.

But if the Qing Kingdom officially occupies this place, he will be in trouble. If he is with the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi and meets someone who likes to put accusations on others, he will definitely be accused of treason.

The two of them ran quickly all the way and soon arrived outside the smelting room. Along the way, they did not see a single living person. Instead, they saw many standard weapons piled up at the door.

Some weapons have even become dilapidated due to the erosion of time.

The moment they pushed open the door, a gust of yellow sand blew in their faces, making them almost cough.

The next moment, a series of dilapidated buildings appeared in their eyes.

"Is this the Shura Heavenly Palace?"

Looking at the dilapidated palace in front of him, Leng Feibai felt like Lara in Tomb Raider, coming to a dilapidated ruin.

The next moment, Leng Feibai activated the Emperor's Qi-gazing Technique and looked around.

What comforted him was that there was no trace of a third person here except him and Haitang Duoduo.

"Xura Palace has become so dilapidated?"

Haitang Duoduo looked at the dilapidated ruins in front of her and couldn't help feeling disappointed.

If the ruins are in such a dilapidated state, then the valuable things will no longer exist.

"Take a look around!"

Leng Feibai said tentatively, "Just think of it as visiting an ancient ruin!"

Listening to Leng Feibai's words, Haitang Duoduo nodded and accompanied Leng Feibai to stroll around the ruins of Shura Palace.

As the two had expected, the entire ruins contained nothing but broken walls and skeletons buried in the desert sand.

There were some books in the arms of some of the skeletons, but the moment the two picked them up, they turned into scraps of paper and scattered everywhere.

"Leng Feibai, come and take a look!"

Haitang Duoduo's voice was anxious, and it was obvious that she had discovered something.

Leng Feibai ran over quickly and saw a corpse lying on the ground next to Haitang Duoduo. The corpse had a healthy complexion and a black cloth covering his eyes, and next to him was a sharp iron rod.

"Temple Messenger!"

Leng Feibai looked at the attire with surprise in his eyes, thinking to himself, "To think there is a corpse of a temple messenger here, could it be that someone from the temple was involved in the destruction of the Shura Heavenly Palace?"

"Quite unexpected, huh?"

Haitang Duoduo gritted her teeth and said, "This man has a thick layer of dust on his body. He's obviously been dead for a long time, but his body hasn't rotted. I really don't know what's going on."

Leng Feibai gritted his teeth and said, "Step back a few steps, let me see..."

After saying that, Leng Feibai stepped forward, moved the temple messenger's head a little, made sure his eyes were facing the open space, and then tore off the cloth on his face.

The corpse didn't react at all, as if it was really dead!
"It's a pity that there are no tools here to examine the body."

Leng Feibai said regretfully, "Otherwise, I really want to see what's inside him!"

"what!"

Haitang Duoduo showed a look of disgust and turned away.

Leng Feibai took the opportunity to put the corpse into the twelfth-story building, and prepared to study the structure of the temple messenger's body carefully after leaving.

The two wandered around and wandered around the ruins of Shura Palace for a long time, but did not find anything valuable.

"I really don't know how that smelting room and mine were preserved."

Haitang Duoduo said indignantly, "It's really disappointing?"

"Look inside again!"

Leng Feibai comforted Haitang Duoduo, "The places ahead are mostly places like martial arts training grounds and disciple quarters. There's no way there's anything valuable there."

As they talked, they continued to walk deeper into the Shura Palace. However, they still found nothing of value. The Sutra Library and the Spiritual Medicine Garden in the ruins were already overgrown with weeds and in a dilapidated state.

The stored books had all been reduced to fragments, completely worthless. With gloomy faces, the two men arrived at the last spacious courtyard.

"If there's nothing here, then we've come all this way for nothing!"

Leng Feibai looked depressed and kicked the remaining half of the wooden door to the ground.

The furnishings in the room were still in a very dilapidated state, with tables and cabinets lying all over the floor. Only a bed made of unknown material remained intact in its original place.

The two men's attention was immediately drawn to the wooden bed. After all, it was impossible to find an intact bed in such a dilapidated place.

After searching up and down, the two men found a small mechanism button on the bed frame.

The two were overjoyed and pressed the button immediately.

"Click"

The wall on one side cracked, revealing a candlestick.

"A chain mechanism?"

Leng Feibai and Haitang Duoduo looked at each other, then immediately walked over, took out a tinder and lit the candle.

"boom"

After the candles were lit, strange noises were heard in the yard.

The two of them hurried over and saw a deep pit on the ground in the yard, with spiral steps on the edge.

"Want to go down and take a look?"

Leng Feibai looked at Haitang Duoduo, who nodded and said, "To be able to design such a complicated mechanism in his own yard, An Zhentian must have hidden something very important in it."

Seeing this, Leng Feibai took out a torch, lit it and threw it in.

As soon as the torch entered, it was completely extinguished shortly after it landed.

"There's not much air in there!"

The two looked at the extinguished torch and prepared to wait there for a while, but at this moment, a sharp bird cry came from the sky.

The two men's expressions changed slightly. They looked up and saw a blue and white snow sculpture flying out of thin air and flying towards them.

"Be careful, this beast has bad intentions!"

Leng Feibai clenched his fists and reminded Haitang Duoduo who was holding two axes tightly beside him.

The snow sculpture was suspended in the sky, looking at the two of them fiercely.

"quack"

The snow sculpture howled angrily, trying to drive the two away.

Seeing that the two men were indifferent, the snow sculpture flapped its wings, and more than a dozen feathers like sharp blades flew out from its wings and shot towards the two men.

"Another angry beast!"

Haitang Duoduo dodged Feiyu's attack and warned Leng Feibai, "Be careful! This beast was able to cultivate by accident. Its strength is no less than yours or mine!"

Leng Feibai's face turned pale after hearing this. As early as when the snow sculpture appeared, he had used the Emperor's Qi-Seeing Technique to take a look. The aura of this snow sculpture was no less than that of the golden-scaled python that Leng Feibai had fought before. It seemed that he would have to fight hard again before he could successfully escape.

"Tenglong Jue: Mountain-Splitting and Monument-Breaking Palm"

Leng Feibai jumped up with the Cloud Step, and at the same time, his arms were covered with colorful dragon-shaped energy.

"boom"

Leng Feibai didn't hold back and slapped out with all his strength.

The palm force hit the snow sculpture's left wing, but only knocked off a dozen feathers.

At the same time, a stream of ice-blue breath spurted out of the mouth of the snow sculpture. Leng Feibai was shocked and quickly dodged to the side. The breath directly fell on a dead tree in the yard, turning the entire dead tree into an ice sculpture.

"Come on together, this beast is not easy to deal with!"

After Haitang Duoduo finished speaking, she drew out her two axes and worked with Leng Feibai to deal with the snow sculpture.
