Chapter 308 Yu Family Relics (2)
Falling continuously in the darkness will gradually make people lose the sense of reality of falling, and at the same time, they will have an illusion that time has stopped here and they can no longer go anywhere.
Luo Xuanyi lay horizontally in the air, her hands clasped behind her head. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly saw a blur of light beneath her, and within it, a human figure flickered.
She changed her posture and looked down, and sure enough, it was another illusion.
It was a stone palace, with huge stone beams and walls, rock-colored murals, and gold ornaments. Luo Xuanyi could recognize it at a glance as the main hall of Yu Linghe's palace. Soon, she found Yu Linghe's location.
But unlike the girl Yu Linghe in her memory, she sat expressionlessly on the golden throne in the main hall of the Stone Palace, emitting an unquestionable aura from her whole body.
Beside her, Long Tian was leaning against the palace wall, playing with something nonchalantly in his hands.
"No, you just have to do what I say."
Beneath the throne, the spacious palace was filled with people kneeling. Some wore the attire of attendants and maids, while others wore the finery of monks. Regardless of gender, age, or youth, all looked earnestly at Yu Linghe.
Upon hearing this rebuttal order, the old man leading the crowd knelt down and kowtowed heavily.
"Master Daozu, this is the long-cherished wish of our entire Yu clan. Please do not exclude us." The old man raised his head, turbid tears sliding from the corners of his eyes. "Please allow us to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good!"
"no!"
Yu Linghe suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with hatred and determination: "I will never allow the Yu family to be exterminated from now on! Even if this is what Daozu Yu Lu foresaw, I will never compromise!"
"Lord Daozu!"
The old man kowtowed again in a sad voice.
"How could we possibly let Daozu die alone!"
Yu Linghe walked down from the throne with a decisive tone, leaving only one sentence: "This matter is not allowed to be discussed anymore!" She waved her red sleeves and walked out of the hall.
All the tribesmen were so grief-stricken that they could not stop crying. For a moment the whole hall was filled with mournful cries.
Long Tian, who was standing beside the throne, scratched his ear with his little finger and yawned. He threw the thing in his hand in front of the old man in the lead and shrugged nonchalantly: "Anyway, according to Yu Lu and the others' plan, remember to give this to her."
The old man nodded solemnly, picked up the thing with both hands and held it in front of him.
The light of the past gradually dimmed, the underground palace and the crowd disappeared without a trace, but Luo Xuanyi's surroundings did not fall into darkness again.
She turned her head and found that the old man who had just knelt was standing beside her without her noticing.
His face hadn't changed in a thousand years, and his all-white hair was meticulously combed and neatly combed. Upon seeing Luo Xuanyi's face, the old man sighed with relief and said, "Master Yi, you're here."
His figure was half real and half illusory, emitting a halo of the lingering soul. His hands were tightly clasped in front of him, as if he had never let go of the object since he received it.
Now he put his hands in front of Luo Xuanyi, opened it solemnly, and revealed a white key inside.
Luo Xuanyi held the key in her hand, unable to feel its weight. Like the old man, the key seemed a phantom of a soul, devoid of any inscriptions. Luo Xuanyi held it in her hand.
But her first question was not about the key.
"You still chose to sacrifice your lives and die? Even if Yu Linghe didn't allow it?"
Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly.
"That Linghe kid... is still too idealistic."
"Our Yu clan has survived for a thousand years under the protection of Daozu's remaining body, just to die at this moment and preserve the concept of the ghost world. To overthrow the false doctrine of the celestial beast, there is no more glorious way to die!"
An incomparable light flashed in the old man's old and turbid eyes.
"Did Yu Lu foresee my arrival?"
As the key left, the old man's body began to crumble, disintegrating into tiny golden fragments. He nodded, then shook his head. "Daozu foresaw that someone would be trusted by Linghe and come here. Your existence was revealed to us by Longtian."
Luo Xuanyi pursed her lips. Seeing the old man about to disappear, she raised the key in her hand and asked, "How do I use this key?"
"This is the key to the real Yuqiong Mountain. The door is behind you."
Luo Xuanyi turned her head and looked in the direction the old man's broken fingertip extended. A large door quietly emerged from the darkness. The stone door was heavy and bound with a huge bronze lock.
After answering his last words, the old man shattered from the bottom up, his soul escaping and dispersing. In the darkness, only his final sigh of satisfaction remained.
"Lord Yulu, did you see that..."
The Yu family cannot enter reincarnation.
Luo Xuanyi gripped the key tightly, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it. The key immediately melted, and a soft white light burst out from the keyhole, instantly dispelling the boundless darkness around it!
"call--"
A breeze blew through Luo Xuanyi's sleeves, and her feet finally stepped on solid ground, and the grass under her feet made a rustling sound.
Before her eyes was the entrance to a huge stone palace. On the walls of the palace burned mermaid candles that would never go out. Beautiful blue-green halos illuminated the murals painted on the walls and roof. As far as Luo Xuanyi could see, no two pictures were the same.
The Yu family ruins are here.
Luo Xuanyi was certain that everything from her practice of uncanny cultivation, the Jade Spirit Crane leading her to the Yu Clan ruins, to everything she encountered along the way, was planned by someone. She just didn't know if it was Yu Lu, the Jade Spirit Crane, or the Bo Huixiao, whose name she had only heard of.
She felt a little uncomfortable with the feeling of being schemed against, but she was also curious about the fact that someone could understand her personality to such a detailed level.
What is in this stone palace in front of us?
What exactly is the concept of the ghost world? What does it look like?
"Quack!" "Woof!" Two confused animal calls echoed from Luo Xuanyi's right. Skinny Dog and Longyue had no idea what was happening, spinning in circles, wary and bewildered. The caller on Longyue's back hung upside down, its head rubbing against the grass as Longyue moved.
When they saw Luo Xuanyi, the two beasts seemed to have finally found their home and ran towards her excitedly.
"Woof!"
The skinny dog looked at the palace and paused hesitantly. It seemed to be trying to recall something. Luo Xuanyi reached out and touched Longyue's head, then took a step forward.
"Let's go, we're already here."
The sound of footsteps echoed in the vast stone palace. Luo Xuanyi walked along, paying attention to the murals on the walls, most of which praised the deeds of the Taoist ancestors.
This stone palace was exactly the same as the Yu family stone palace in Luo Xuanyi's memory, so she walked around quite freely and even had the mood to think about where the concept of the ghost world might be.
The most likely place for it to appear is in the stone palace of Yu Linghe, the Taoist ancestor. The second most likely place would be the ancestral temple.
Luo Xuanyi walked out of the long corridor and through the garden. It was springtime, with flowers in full bloom. She paused briefly to take in the scenery, then continued toward the Stone Palace, finally arriving in front of Yu Linghe's palace.
As soon as she looked up at the main hall, Luo Xuanyi noticed the changes in the Yuling Crane Palace.
