The Temple of Terror.

Frank climbed the nine steps on the stool and resolutely walked to the main entrance of the hall.The tiger king was pulled by his ears and followed a few steps forward, but when he came to the dark mouth of the devil, he refused to move forward any more.Four tiger paws clawed hard on the ground. Frank whispered, "The color tiger goes quickly.".The tiger king shook his head desperately. He raised one of the tiger's paws and drew a picture. At the same time, his eyes showed the color of panic.Seeing that it refused to move, Frank ran Xuangong to lift its neck and make it rise from the ground, and then walked into the hall.Although Xiaoyu kept struggling, it was hard to escape Frank's powerful palm.When Frank stepped into the hall, a chill came to his face in this hot summer.Inside the palace, it was as cold as an ice cellar.He put the tiger king on the ground. The tiger king shuddered, his body shrank rapidly, and then he jumped to his shoulder with a "whoosh".Two little tiger paws clutched a strand of his hair. "The color tiger puts its claws!" Frank called in a low voice.Xiaoyu grabbed it hard and let him scold her, but she refused to let go. At the same time, she showed a look of fear and uneasiness.Frank had no choice but to let it stay on his shoulder, and he walked slowly forward."Tap", "Tap", "Tap".. Only monotonous footsteps echoed in the empty and dark hall.Otherwise, there was a dead silence, and in the darkness, Frank groped his way forward with a keen sense of inspiration.After walking nearly ten feet in this way, several steps appeared at his feet, and a stone gate on the stone platform blocked the way.When he pushed towards the stone door, Xiaoyu let out a low roar of uneasiness.Then he lifted his collar and went into his arms with a whoosh. I XXXX, color tiger, you want to scare me to death?Drill into my arms.. Frank pulled it out and threw it on the ground.But Xiaoyu immediately jumped on his shoulder and held his hair firmly.As timid as a mouse, it must be the reincarnation of a mouse, not like a tiger at all.Frank forcefully pushed open the stone door, and inside was a very open hall, with the walls inlaid with pearls emitting a faint green light.The faint green light made the hall look eerie, like a gloomy underworld.When he saw the scene inside, he gasped, his scalp tingled, and two rows of mummies stood on either side of the hall.The air-dried skin and flesh were tightly wrapped around the thin bones, and the twisted facial features were extremely ferocious. Frank's heart was beating wildly.He almost suspected that he had stepped into the nether world."Cough.." The old cough suddenly sounded in the hall, and Frank jumped up in surprise.Xiaoyu, who was hiding on his shoulder, fell down at once, but it immediately scurried back.Frank grabbed it and used his hands unconsciously, pinching Xiaoyu and rolling his eyes until Xiaoyu gave him a claw.He let go in a hurry. He stepped back quickly, but found that the stone door was already closed and could not be pushed open.Xiaoyu roared uneasily on his shoulder, and her eyes kept scanning around.Frank steadied himself and shouted, "Who?"? Those who hide in the dark, come out quickly.The old voice echoed in the hall: Young people, don't speak so rashly. I've been here all the time. Have I ever avoided it?When you broke in for no reason, why did you blame me?Frank used his keen sense to search the hall again and again, but found nothing.There was no sign of life in the hall except for him and Xiaoyu, and he felt a chill.After a while, the old voice sounded again: "Meeting is fate. I didn't expect that someone would set foot here."Young man, let's talk. Frank said, "Isn't it insincere of you not to let me see you?"?I'm really not hiding. Since you have to see me, go straight ahead.Frank walked forward step by step. Xiaoyu looked around nervously on his shoulder. When he stepped between the two rows of mummies,It went into Frank's arms again with a "whoosh", leaving only a small tiger head exposed to watch the nearby movement warily.You color tiger, come out quickly.But this time, no matter how Frank grabbed it, Xiaoyu's little tiger claws held his clothes firmly and refused to come out.Kitten, didn't you come here a hundred years ago? Don't you want me to come back to see me again?Hearing this, Xiaoyu could not stay any longer and came out of Frank's arms with a "whoosh".Stepped on Frank's face and climbed on his head, clutching his hair and looking around.I XXXX, color tiger, how dare you put my nose on my head, I am so angry.Frank pulled it off and threw it at the foot of a mummy."Roar" Tiger King Xiaoyu let out a low roar in fright, and then ran back to Frank's feet quickly.A small tiger paw clutched his trouser legs nervously.Kitten, you're still as timid as you were a hundred years ago. I won't eat you. What's so terrible about that?The old voice echoed throughout the hall, and it was hard to tell where it came from.Frank walked a few feet further, and a mummy next to him suddenly turned his head and grinned at him.The white teeth shone with a strange light."Roar!" With a loud roar, Xiaoyu quickly ran out a few feet away. At this time, her hair was upside down all over her body.Staring in horror at the mummies in the distance."Ah!" Frank gave a loud cry of surprise and stepped back seven or eight steps in a row. He felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.It was cold from head to toe. He pulled out his long knife from behind his back and shouted, "Are you a man or a ghost?"?The mummy came out of the corpses. He was all skin and bones. He walked mechanically and stiffly, like a zombie.He laughed and said, "I'm still alive, but I'm not far from death.".Then he waved to Xiaoyu in the distance and said, Kitten, a hundred years ago you entered the Demon Temple by mistake, but you didn't find me until you left.Are you still as afraid as before when you see the true face of my old man?Looking at the living skeleton like a zombie and a fierce ghost, Xiaoyu was filled with fear. It had already made its body bigger.Ready to fight. Frank looked at the "mummy" in disbelief and said, "You.. Are you really alive?How could it be like this? Yes, I am still alive.Don't be afraid. Let's have a good chat. I haven't seen a living person for many years.This time, when Frank ran Xuangong, he finally sensed the faint pulse of life in the body of the "mummy," but it was intermittent.There are almost no signs of life.Frank was sure that this was indeed an old man with a trace of life, and that he must have performed a kind of sound work just now, so that people could not distinguish his position.Frank put the long knife on his back, took a few steps forward, and came to a place less than ten feet away from the old man, standing opposite him.Xiaoyu, however, refused to come over and looked at it in horror from a distance."I think you must be full of doubts at the moment," said the old man?"Yes," said Frank, "it's hard to imagine such a horrible hall in the middle of the mountains.May I ask you some questions? Yes, you are free to ask questions.I'm dying. If I don't tell the secret in my heart at this time, I'm afraid I'll never have a chance again."What kind of place is this?" The Demon Temple."The Demon Temple, is it a hall created by a demon?" It was created by an ancient God.Since it was created by God, why is it called the Demon Temple?"Because the ancient God felt that he had fallen and was no longer worthy to be called a God." How has he fallen?He fought with another fallen ancient God for a divine treasure, and in the end, although he was lucky enough to defeat the other.But he himself was badly wounded and was left in the human world. Frank's heart moved.The owner of this temple is most likely one of the ancient gods recorded in the sheepskin scrolls dug up by Sin City.However, the contents of the sheepskin scrolls are somewhat different from what the old man said."Young man," said the old man, "have you ever heard of two ancient gods?Otherwise, how could there not be a trace of shock? "Yes." Frank told the story of the ancient gods in Sin City.The old man sighed, "I didn't expect that the battle of God thousands of years ago was recorded, but it was not true.".What are the facts?The master of this great hall excelled himself and killed another ancient God, who was seriously wounded and dying.When the ancient God was about to die, he suddenly exploded his body. Although the master of the Demon Temple had armor to protect himself, he was still seriously injured and dying.His divine power had weakened to the lowest line, and he could not sense the lost treasure in the mountains.He hurriedly put away the skeleton of the ancient God who had exploded his body, and fled back here in confusion to recuperate. What happened next?The master of the Demon Temple had been training here for a period of time, and was horrified to find that his divine power could no longer be condensed.It can only be maintained at a rather low level. He went to the place of the war several times to look for the lost treasure, but each time he was disappointed."Hearing this, Frank was a little nervous and said," That.. Where did the ancient gods go later?The old man sighed and said, He has been training here for hundreds of years, but his divine power has never been restored.Once he went out and never came back."Ah," Frank was shocked and said, "So the ancient gods have never returned.. Disappeared?Yes, I really don't know whether he is lucky or not when his divine power is limited.It took Frank a long time to come to his senses after hearing these words, and he murmured, It's unbelievable.A God wanders in the world.. Then he asked, "What do the giants who live outside have to do with this temple?"Why do they pay homage to this hall?The ancestors of those giants had been subdued by the ancient gods as slaves of the gods, and they had made great efforts to build this hall.The black diamond needed for the hall was carried by them from the mountains in the distance.The ancient God is the God in their hearts, although he has disappeared for a long time, but his divine power has been handed down from generation to generation among the giants.They have lived here for generations and guarded the temple."" But.. Why did they pile up so many bones under the Demon Temple?This is one of the secrets of the Demon Temple."The old man pointed to the ground and said," There is an extremely powerful beast under this hall.The reason why the giant piled up the bones outside the rocky mountain was to carry out the orders left by the ancient gods.The ancient gods laid down a great array of nine white bones here, condensing the power of heaven and earth, gathering the souls of all souls, and deterring the beast on the ground.So that it cannot come up to do evil.Frank was dumbfounded, and his heart was filled with horror. The beast who was under the control of God must have been terrified to the extreme.Thinking that it was tens or hundreds of feet under his feet, he felt a chill. What kind of beast is this?I don't know. No one has ever seen it except the owner of the Demon Temple. Only occasionally can I hear its roar.Suddenly there was a dull roar from the ground, but the sound was not very clear across the floor of the hall.But it is chilling to hear it. Xiaoyu quickly shrank to the size of a kitten, and then jumped to Frank's shoulder.It watched warily at the mummified old man opposite, shaking its ears to listen to the whistling sound like a magic sound.When Frank was watching outside the hall during the day, he had already heard a strange roar. At this time, it was clear until the roar stopped.He asked, "Why did the ancient gods trap it here? Why didn't they just destroy it?"?"The old man said," When the ancient gods brought it here from elsewhere, they wanted to tame it as a mount.But the beast had a strong disposition and refused to yield, so the ancient gods had to trap it under the hall and wanted to subdue it slowly.But he never thought that soon after he was seriously wounded in the battle of God, and he was no longer able to kill the beast.Then he set up a big array of nine white bones to prevent it from escaping.So that's it. I didn't expect that there would be such a mysterious place in such a deep mountain."The old man said," This is only one of the secrets of the Demon Temple. Besides, there is a bigger secret."Is there a bigger secret?" There is not only an evil beast under this great hall, but also a precious armor sealed.As soon as Frank's heart moved, he remembered a legendary armor. He couldn't help asking, What's the name of the armor?Xuanwu Armor."Frank exclaimed," Ah, don't.. Could it be the basalt armor that existed in ancient times?"The old man nodded and said," Yes, it's the magic armor in the legend of the original land of immortals.In the distant past, there were several weapons in the land of immortals that were always regarded as immortal treasures.Legend has it that if a top master holds such a weapon, he can fight against gods and immortals.But unfortunately, these weapons often only appear in legends, and only occasionally appear in the world for thousands of years.Ten thousand years ago, Frank saw Hou Yi's bow, which was accidentally acquired by his father Chen Zhan when he was traveling around the world.After ten thousand years, he saw the magic bow again, but things had changed, and he did not know whether Chen Zhan had left behind the Yi bow and Wu to break through the void. Still Although Frank has not seen several other legendary treasures, he knows that there is a treasure named Xuanwu.He did not expect to know its whereabouts here today.Rumor has it that this armor can not only protect the body, but also counterattack with the help of force. It has both offensive and defensive abilities, and it is magical."Are you telling the truth, old man?" Truly, this armor is indeed sealed under the Demon Temple.At that time, the owner of the Demon Temple got it by chance, and treasured it as his life.Had it not been for this armor, he would have perished with another ancient God in that divine battle.Frank sighed, "In the ancient legend, Hou Yi's bow, which is as famous as Xuanwu's armor, once shot down the gods in the sky."I really don't know what the magic of Xuanwu Armor is."The old man said," There must be something extraordinary about the treasures that have been handed down from ancient times to the present."Frank said," Who are you, old man, and why are you here? I still don't know your identity.The old man pointed to the two rows of mummies in the hall and said, Like them, I am a servant in the Demon Temple."Oh, are they still alive?" Frank exclaimed. No, he's been dead for years.These people were the servants of the gods through the ages, and because the exercises they practiced were all dead wood, they all looked like this after they died. Servant of God?Yes, before the master of the Demon Temple disappeared, he had received a servant, the first generation of God's servants.He is the only one who has seen the master of the temple.The first generation of God servants were loyal to the ancient gods and had been looking forward to the return of the ancient gods, but they had waited for more than a hundred years without success.In his later years, he asked the giants outside to send him out of the mountains, received a disciple in Sin City, and then returned here.And so it has been from generation to generation, and all the servants of God in the temple of the devil have come in this way. I see."The old man went on to say," Time has passed. Thousands of years have passed. Although there are still servants in this temple,But the heart of the servant of God is not what it used to be.Later God servants have never seen the ancient gods, where there will be a trace of awe, and God servants have no meaning to exist.A few generations ago, some people planned to stop accepting apprentices, but they never made that decision. I have got over it and decided not to accept any more apprentices.You.. Are you going to leave here?I'm over three hundred years old, and I'm already dying. What's the point of leaving? This is the best place for me to be buried."" Ah, over three hundred years old?! Then isn't your whole body cultivation..? Frank couldn't go on. If what the old man said was true,Then I'm afraid his cultivation has reached a level that ordinary people can't imagine.The old man said, Every generation of servants of the gods can live to be over 150 years old at least, and the exercises handed down by the ancient gods are mainly for health preservation.It is not the kind of practice in the usual sense.As a matter of fact, the ability of the servant of God in the past Dynasties is not very strong, and he can only be regarded as an ordinary master on the mainland.Take me for example, although I am more than three hundred years old now, I am no match for you at all, and I can never fight against you."" Oh.Frank has indeed heard of this type of practitioner, a side branch of the Tao, who does not seek to grow in strength.Their purpose of self-cultivation is only to achieve longevity.The old man said, "I knew my fate was not long, so I told you the secret in my heart.".Xuanwu Armor has been one of the legendary treasures in the mainland since ancient times. I hope the world can know its whereabouts.We don't want it buried deep in the ground for years.
