The Invincible Hand is entirely silver, with a silver dragon embroidered on the back of the hand. It can double the wearer's power and can be considered a treasure in the early stages of the game.
These gloves were made by a descendant of Hua Tuo using exotic metals. After thousands of processing steps and soaking in various precious herbs, these gloves became special divine weapons. They are not only extremely sturdy, but they can also enhance the user's skills.
However, the biggest drawback of these gloves is that they are too fragile.
Therefore, the Invincible Hand technique was completely useless against Zhang Bairen.
"Uncle Ghost Tiger, Zhang Long, you can wait for me here. If you encounter any danger, you can escape on your own."
With Zhang Long around, they should be able to foresee the enemy and predict everything.
"Besides, I've also read the Heavenly Cry Sutra, so there's no need to worry about not being able to find you," Zhang Bairen said, making arrangements.
The two nodded in agreement and hid inside the house.
Zhang Bairen entered the west wing and activated the control mechanism.
Then, they saw that the ground outside the door, about ten feet in diameter, had already split open to the sides, revealing an unusually dark and bottomless hole.
And this cave entrance is the only secret passage leading to the place where the Love of the Fallen City is passed down!
Looking at the hole in front of him, Zhang Bairen did not hesitate and jumped down.
This secret passage is about fifty zhang long and goes straight down without any footholds. If you are not a master of lightness skills, you might fall to your death.
As the body continued to fall, the surroundings soon became clear and open.
It turns out that beneath the secret passage lies a very large cave!
Zhang Bairen landed lightly on the ground. He saw that the cave in front of him was paved with red bricks. In addition to being very spacious, what was most surprising was that the cave was filled with rows of stone coffins.
There were at least dozens of these stone coffins, all arranged in front of the same object, as if the stone coffins were kneeling in worship. Although the cave was very dark, Zhang Bairen could tell what it was at a glance.
That was an iron pillar about five zhang long and more than three chi thick!
The upper end of the iron pillar had already pierced through the cave ceiling, while the lower end disappeared into a passage on the ground, with some gaps remaining between the iron pillar and the passage.
Judging from the current situation, this iron pillar is at least fifty feet long.
If you include the part that is exposed outside the city gate and the part that is still deep underground, it's impossible to know how long this iron pillar is!
It should be noted that the metal used to forge this iron pillar is extremely rare in the world, making it very suitable for forging divine weapons.
But who would have thought that such a precious metal would be cast into a huge iron pillar!
Zhang Bairen walked up to the iron pillar and, through the gap, plummeted another twenty-five zhang.
At this moment, the deepest part of the ground was almost in sight.
Looking down, one discovers a smooth, mirror-like surface of ice!
This is an ice cellar, surrounded by ice, and this continuous iron pillar has finally come to an end.
Its lower end was completely submerged under thick ice and snow, with no further downward path.
Zhang Bairen turned his gaze to a wall inside the ice cellar, where there was a hole about ten feet high.
Above the cave entrance, there are four lines of small characters and six large characters carved on it!
These four lines of small characters form an exceptionally tender love poem: "The sea of love has no boat, and its end is uncertain. Seven lifetimes of deep affection, forever intertwined."
The six large characters read: "Tomb of Lady Wushuang!"
Zhang Bairen continued forward, heading towards the hole in the ice and snow wall.
When Zhang Bairen entered the cave entrance inside the ice cellar, he saw a stunningly beautiful face that could topple kingdoms!
As far as the eye could see, the cave was like an ice cellar, covered with white snow. However, on the snow, there were four completely transparent crystal screens, like a small house made of four walls. Inside this small house, there was a woman, a woman who amazed Zhang Bairen!
And this woman was none other than Lady Wushuang!
Zhang Bairen narrowed his eyes, staring at Madam Wushuang's remains, and then said, "Madam Wushuang, you have given me quite a surprise!"
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. You are so young, yet you have cultivated a martial arts primordial spirit."
"Are you destined to be the key figure of this era?"
A woman's voice, both gentle and heroic, rang out, followed by wisps of smoke rising from Lady Wushuang's corpse.
In the hazy smoke, a woman's figure appeared in mid-air, like a fairy in the clouds.
The woman looked at Zhang Bairen, who was standing right in front of her, with a curious gaze.
“No, I am not the reincarnation of Fengyun, you have mistaken me for someone else,” Zhang Bairen replied.
"Is that not true?"
It seems that our time together just wasn't meant to be.
"Young man, may I ask you a favor? If you succeed in winning the heart of the beauty, could you perhaps pass this skill on to Destiny's Wind and Cloud when the opportunity arises in the future?"
With Lady Wushuang's intelligence, she naturally knew what to say at this moment.
Without the protection of a physical body, relying solely on its powerful primordial spirit, it has endured for a thousand years. Today's awakening also signifies its demise.
Lady Wushuang, who had already passed away, was powerless to stop Zhang Bairen from winning the heart of Qingcheng, so she did not try to stop him.
Zhang Bairen nodded slightly, agreeing to Madam Wushuang's request.
After all, this technique was originally meant for the Destiny and the Winds of Fate. Although he intercepted it ahead of time, he could still pass it on.
Lady Wushuang revealed a relieved smile. She had used the mysterious ice here to protect her physical body. Her powerful martial spirit had been sleeping within her body for a thousand years, and its awakening today meant its complete death.
A slight smile appeared on her lips, and she began to speak: "I have waited for a thousand years, and now that my wish has been fulfilled, it is time for me to follow Guan Lang."
"As for this final primordial spirit power, let me show you the story of a love that could topple cities." As Lady Wushuang's voice rang out, the surrounding mist and cold air gradually mixed together and then filled the entire cave.
Everything around them began to shift and change in the mist, and Lady Wushuang's figure grew increasingly faint, as if she were about to vanish.
Night, the pitch-black night sky, the vast earth, with stars twinkling in the sky, radiating the light of new life.
But amidst the stars, there was a woman floating in the night sky, her body almost completely transparent.
Zhang Bairen raised his head and saw the woman. Her demeanor, her eyebrows and eyes, all exuded boundless compassion.
She had a pair of compassionate eyes, and that compassionate gaze made Zhang Bairen involuntarily feel a sense of respect.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is the .huanyuanapp app (install the latest version).
This woman is none other than Nuwa, one of the most powerful ancient deities after Pangu separated heaven and earth.
To stabilize the world created by Pangu and to protect the weak humankind, the goddess Nuwa began tirelessly mending the sky, creating stars, and defying fate.
Until the very last moment, the goddess Nuwa, severely weakened, was tricked by a treacherous fate.
She calculated all the tribulations, and she resolved all the tribulations, but she failed to discover the final, eternal tribulation!
In order to cope with the final calamity, the goddess Nuwa used her last three breaths of primordial energy to create three most peculiar stars, and then her body and spirit dissipated and disappeared into the world.
After the legend of the goddess Nuwa ended, time flew by, and the hero represented by the first star was born.
He is none other than the Martial Saint—Guan Yu!
In Lady Wushuang's illusion, the life story of Guan Yu, the God of War, is described in great detail.
Solo training, mastery of martial arts, charging into battle, swearing brotherhood in the Peach Garden, sudden enlightenment of extraordinary skills...
In this illusion, Guan Yu's appearance is almost identical to the Guan Sheng statue in the Guan Sheng Temple, both with square and majestic faces; the only difference is that Guan Yu in the illusion has a face as white as jade, not a fiery red face at all.
Suddenly, a strange change occurred to him. A dazzling red light suddenly emanated from his body, illuminating the entire room as red as a river of blood and a sea of fire. The red light blazed for a long, long time before gradually dimming and finally fading away, leaving only complete silence in the room.
When they looked at Guan Yu's face again, they found that Guan Yu's face had turned red!
