The abyss seemed to be connected to hell. Zhang Yuanqing fell for a full ten minutes but still did not reach the bottom.
The further down they go, the colder it gets, and the more obvious the power of the seal becomes. Fortunately, the power of the sun is circulated within the body, bringing warmth, dispelling the cold, and slowing down the speed of the seal.
Finally, Zhang Yuanqing landed on the ground with a "thump" and his feet stepped on the hard ice.
There was no light at the bottom of the abyss, but the Night Wanderer's night vision allowed him to see the surroundings clearly.
There was a thick layer of ice under his feet and a cave in front of him. The walls, ceiling and floor of the cave were also covered with thick ice, like hawthorns wrapped in sugar.
The breathing sounds in my ears became clearer.
At this time, Xiahou Aotian landed lightly on the ground, wearing a dark red coat.
"It's so cold, I'm almost frozen." He put his hands in his sleeves, shivering, enjoying the heat from his coat. Looking at Zhang Yuanqing standing tall beside him, he said sourly: "Riyoushen is still better, with thicker skin and flesh."
Zhang Yuanqing looked at him and asked, "You still feel cold even with the fire master's coat on?"
"Most of the functions of the items here are also sealed... Well, this cold air should come from the Eternal Night profession, but isn't the Secret of the Five Elements a copy of our second district? Why does it have the power of the first district?" Xiahou Aotian stomped his feet and rubbed his hands.
“The people sealed in the abyss should have been to the first district in ancient times and obtained extremely high-level sealing magic weapons or materials from there.” Zhang Yuanqing expressed his opinion.
The deep voice of the Qin Dynasty Taoist priest came from the black iron ring, urging, "This is not a place for idle chat, hurry into the cave."
Old Fangtu is very concerned about the whereabouts of the First Emperor. What is the grudge between him and the First Emperor?
Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, suppressed his inner excitement, and led Xiahou Aotian into the cave.
He is about to meet Brother Bing.
There was a "crunching" sound as he stepped on the solid ice. A ball of Samadhi Fire ignited in Xiahou Aotian's palm, and he observed his surroundings in the dim light of the fire.
The cave was very deep and there was nothing inside. After walking slowly for fifty or sixty meters, I finally reached the bottom.
The first thing that caught people's attention was a black stone coffin, displayed on an ice platform, with a thick layer of ice covering the surface of the coffin.
The second figure was sitting cross-legged beside the coffin. He was wearing camouflage military pants, a white vest, and his muscles were bulging and knotted. He had ordinary facial features, thick eyebrows, a high nose, and a slightly square face. With this outfit and muscles, he gave people the feeling of a rough and wild man.
At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing felt as if his throat was choked by something, and his eyes became wet uncontrollably.
Xiahou Aotian looked away from the coffin and towards the sitting figure, surprised, "Why is there someone here? Is he a spiritual traveler who matched into the Secret of the Five Elements copy? He looks like a bewitching demon, or..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the clay statue of Yuanshi Tianzun was motionless, so he walked up to look at him.
Zhang Yuanqing's expression made Xiahou Aotian stunned for a moment. He realized something and asked in astonishment: "You know him?"
"I don't know him." Zhang Yuanqing denied it in a pitiful tone.
Having said that, he ignored the coffin, walked straight to the ice sculpture, stared at it without saying a word, and then withdrew his gaze silently.
The ice sculpture sits silently, without temperature, breath, or soul fluctuations.
Zhang Yuanqing looked for a long time, and finally withdrew his gaze, looked at the heavy coffin, and said, "I am now ready to take out the Bad Man's waist card."
He said this to the old man with the ring.
Qin Dai Fang Tu was silent for a few seconds, and then responded: "Yes."
Xiahou Aotian urged: "Hurry up, it's getting colder and colder. I feel like I'm walking on the Arctic ice field without clothes."
His face had begun to turn blue and pale.
Zhang Yuanqing opened the inventory and took out the badge he had just put away.
As soon as the waist badge was removed and the inventory was opened, the coffin sealed in ice generated a suction force and sucked the waist badge over.
The colorful copper waist plates turned into pure energy the moment they touched the coffin, and were transmitted into the interior through the ice shell.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing and Xiahou Aotian became alert instinctively, guarding against the worst situation.
As the five-colored energy entered the coffin, Zhang Yuanqing sensed that a weak mental fluctuation emerged out of nowhere in the coffin, or to be more precise, it was a revival.
The weak mental fluctuations were difficult to detect and did not explode as expected. Instead, they remained at a "confused" level, as if they were half asleep and half asleep.
After a while, a tiny spiritual wave came from the coffin: "Who brought my waist badge?"
Xiahou Aotian and the Qin Dynasty alchemist Du in the ring did not speak.
Zhang Yuanqing responded tentatively, "Senior, it's me!"
After saying this, he clearly sensed the spiritual power in the coffin overflowing and "sweeping" over his body.
"What year and month is it now?" The spiritual fluctuations in the coffin suddenly became violent.
"January 2023, 10,400 years have passed since your dynasty." Zhang Yuanqing did not look down on the other party because of his weakness.
Because of the existence in the coffin, it just awakened a thought.
"2023..." The thoughts in the coffin murmured to themselves.
He seems to care a lot about time? Zhang Yuanqing keenly noticed that something was wrong. In the minds of such people, the passing of time and the fleeting of time are all normal.
Not to mention the tremendous changes that have taken place outside, even if the world were to be destroyed, I probably wouldn't be too surprised.
The thoughts in the coffin convey an exciting idea: "I have survived until the new era has arrived. I have finally overcome time and awakened in an era where I can live forever."
"Unfortunately, I can't go out now." He muttered to himself for a moment, put away his emotions, and his mental fluctuations turned calm.
"Boy, you can get my badge, which means you are destined to be with me. If you want magic weapons or other treasures, you can leave now. I can't give you anything."
Zhang Yuanqing was just trying to figure out how to start when Xia Houzuo felt an excited and anxious mental fluctuation coming from his ring.
"...Are you the First Emperor?"
The mind in the coffin replied, "The First Emperor? Oh, I am not him."
"You are not him? You are not him!" Qin Dai Fang Tu murmured to himself, his tone was full of joy, regret, relief, and reluctance, with a complicated expression.
Seeing that the Qin Dynasty Taoist priest was immersed in his own emotions, Zhang Yuanqing took the initiative to ask: "Are you the Bad Leader of the Tang Dynasty? The Bad Leader during the reign of the Empress?"
"yes."
"How did you comprehend the secret of the five elements?" Zhang Yuan
Qing got straight to the point, and the thoughts in the coffin responded calmly, "No comment!"
"Not him."
Where is the destined person? Zhang Yuanqing was in a bad mood, and asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of the First Emperor? Or any news about him?"
In response to this question, the mind in the coffin only replied: "The First Emperor is the first person in history to comprehend the power of the five elements. As for his whereabouts, I don't know."
That's strange!
According to the intelligence in the "Five Elements Rebellion" instance, the way to pass on the power of the five elements is through "taking over another's body". Unless the Bad Leader understood the secrets of the five elements by himself, he must have also been taken over by another's body.
This is not quite accurate. It should be said that "Bad Commander" was just his identity in the Tang Dynasty, and he must have existed before that.
If the bad commander was not the first emperor, then where was the first emperor?
Could it be that the Five Elements Essence of the First Emperor is buried in a corner of the spiritual realm and has not been obtained by anyone?
But that is impossible. According to the alchemists of the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor was a human immortal, and the Buliangshuai was also a human immortal.
Being a human immortal means having administrator privileges.
At the beginning, a complete administrator's authority might be able to separate out three or four early-stage demigods, but it would be impossible to separate out three or four mid-stage demigods.
Two at most.
With five leaders in the world today, the First Emperor should be the only one with the administrative authority in the spiritual realm.
Unless the Bad Leader is the First Emperor, but he is unwilling to admit it.
At this time, the Qin Dynasty Taoist sighed and said, "You are indeed not His Majesty. If you were really His Majesty, you would not deny it. Emperor Shihuang is a man of great talent and wisdom, and he is also arrogant and disdains to lie."
Ah? He is really not the First Emperor? You are too arbitrary, old man...
Zhang Yuanqing was a little skeptical, but he had more trust in the Qin Dynasty alchemists.
The reason why Xiahou Aotian was brought in this time was also because of the idea that an old man in the family is like a treasure.
I was worried that I had really met the Bad Leader, and given the current situation, I couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false.
There are more advantages than disadvantages to having an old antique around.
He did not dwell too much on whether the Bad Commander was the First Emperor and asked, "Why were you sealed here?"
The thoughts in the round coffin spoke: "Seal yourself can't completely stop the passage of time, but I am a human immortal, my life span is long, so I can race against time. Those below the human immortal level, even if you seal yourself here, you will turn into a frozen corpse within three hundred years."
When Xiahou Aotian heard this, he instinctively asked: "This method is not difficult, why are you the only one who chose to go overseas? Are all the immortals from ancient times to the present stupid?"
The mind in the coffin seemed to have not spoken to anyone for many years. It was rare for someone to chat with him, so he answered quickly: "Because I got the oracle from Lord Haotian and the method from Changsheng."
Haotian God, it's Haotian God again! Zhang Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly. It was after the First Emperor created the Heaven Offering Set that he offered sacrifices to the heavens at Mount Tai. As a result, he received the oracle from Haotian God and knew the secret of Chang Sheng.
Xiahou Aotian was really outspoken. "What the hell is Haotian God?
"Shut up!" the Qin Dynasty alchemist shouted coldly.
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head at Xiahou Aotian, signaling him to stop talking nonsense. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Senior, how do you communicate with Lord Haotian?"
Guan Dun said with his mind: "We can use the Heaven Offering Set left by the First Emperor!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved, and he felt excited and happy. The sacrificial set was still missing a crown, but he didn't know where it was.
There are so many copies and the coordinates are complicated. It takes a lot of time and effort for my uncle to find them. It would be impossible to wait for the spiritual realm to actively allocate them.
He immediately asked excitedly: "Senior, do you know where the crown of the Heaven Sacrifice Set is?"
The Bad Commander may not know the whereabouts of the crown, but since he has used it before, he can at least give some valuable clues...
"After sleeping for 1,400 years, how do you know the whereabouts of the crown now?" The thought in the coffin said: "In my time, the White Emperor Crown was the treasure of the sword-cultivating sect Shushan. At the beginning, I borrowed this magic weapon from Shushan to complete the heaven-offering set, and then I got the oracle of Haotian."
"Shushan?" Zhang Yuanqing heard of this sect and it seemed familiar to him. Then he remembered that in the gang copy information of the White Tiger Soldiers that Fu Qingyang gave him, there was one called "Shushan Nanyuan".
At this time, the consciousness in the coffin began to weaken, and the bad commander seemed to be falling into a deep sleep again.
With the idea of grabbing the wool as much as possible, Zhang Yuanqing asked, "Senior, who is the Lord of Heaven? He told you the way to live forever, but did he tell you how to escape from the predicament?"
"Boy, if you want to know who the Lord Haotian is, then collect the heavenly offering set yourself. As for how I can escape, it requires timing... It requires the birth of the Lord of the Sun to melt the ice." The voice in the coffin gradually weakened until it disappeared.
Xiahou Aotian shouted a few times, and seeing that the bad commander had no reaction, he quickly said: "He can't hold on any longer, boss. Let's go up."
His eyelashes were covered with frost, his lips were purple, his face was as white as snow, and his dark red coat was frozen stiff.
"You go up first." Zhang Yuanqing did not move, and whispered: "Give me a few minutes."
Xiahou Aotian gritted his teeth: "You must come up within three minutes."
With the dying Samadhi Fire burning in his palm, he strode out of the cave.
When the dim firelight faded further and further away and disappeared completely in the darkness, Zhang Yuanqing sat down next to Lei Yibing.
"You didn't tell me anything, you hid here by yourself, it was really hard to find you. I have a girlfriend now, her name is Guan Ya, I also have a girlfriend named Xiao Yuan, and Jiang Yu'er is not my aunt, she is my adopted child... We used to hide in bed every day and watch art films on P4, dreaming about girlfriends, and test the truth with practice. Now I have three wives, you are nothing like him."
"The final battle between law and evil is coming soon. Regardless of whether I can become the Lord of the Sun, you have a chance to break the seal and return to the present... I went to see Aunt Zhou a few days ago, and she looked ten years older."
"It took me less than a year to be promoted to chief investigator, but it took you three years. I am more capable. When you get out, I will protect you."
While he was talking non-stop, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the soldier's right hand, which was stuck in his trouser pocket.
The left hand is hanging naturally, is there something in the hand?
