Chapter 101 Homecoming
The wind blew out from the open door, sending a decadent smell towards him. Wei Ze narrowed his eyes, walked slowly forward, stood beside Shangguan Yuning and looked inward.
Through the gate, you can see the straight street inside, leading directly to the front. The bluestone bricks on the road are covered with cracks, and you can still smell the blood that has been left for thousands of years in the gaps. On both sides of the road, you can see countless broken spiritual swords and fragmented spiritual weapons. The dust wind blows by, and only half of the jade pendant left on the hilt of the sword sways in the sand.
This scene left Wei Ze speechless for a moment, and turned to look at Shangguan Yuning on the side.
She stood there silently, staring at her hometown that had turned into ruins. It was unknown how long after that, she stood up, walked silently, slowly stepped into the gate, and looked at the towering green attic in the sky.
"Shangguan's headquarters is based on the Wenyun Tower in the central government. As long as the 'Moon in the Water', which is the key to the blessed land, it can re-operate this area."
Wei Ze responded, followed her, and led by her, he followed the main road to Wenyun Tower.
Along the way, he saw the square green-topped houses on both sides of the road, which totaled about dozens, ranging from one to five floors, and most of them were destroyed. By tearing off the window frames that were covered with paper, he could also identify the traces of people left in the houses, and imagine the simple and painful practice life of those cultivators who had eliminated demons for their whole lives.
Well, these repairs should be used as school buildings...
This thought flashed through Wei Ze's mind, but in the current atmosphere, he could not think much about this.
After all, the original owners of these houses have been left in time forever, leaving only Shangguan Yuning who was walking in front of him.
She didn't say a word along the way, nor even looked at the houses on both sides, and her eyes were always focused on the tall green building in front of her.
In the quiet, the two walked through the residential area, through the Taoist sect with gossip pictures, through the family venue used for the gathering, and finally stood in front of the tall building. Wei Ze saw its green door was hidden.
Shangguan Yuning showed a rare hesitation on her face. After hesitating in front of the door for a long time, she carefully stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch the door. But as soon as her fingers touched the door frame, a blue light suddenly rose from the seemingly empty wall, and it was fiercely called to her with a sound.
Shangguan Yuning subconsciously pointed her toes and flew back more than ten steps away. He saw several complicated techniques lit up in front of the faint door, connecting them into a blue barrier, blocking her outside without any concessions.
Wei Ze hurriedly ran forward and saw Shangguan Yuning looking at his hands. Under his fair skin, there seemed to be a faint black and purple aura flashing by.
"Sure enough, over the years, the barrier of Wenyunlou has not weakened at all."
She put down her hand and looked very light: "The barrier detects the remaining demonic power on my body, and I will never allow me to enter. Although I am very sorry, I may have to trouble Lord Wei to do this for restarting the resident."
Wei Ze nodded: "What should I do? I am not from the Shangguan family, can I enter this building?"
"The Lord has been recognized by the Moon in the Water before, and has the mark of this spiritual weapon. In this way, as long as it is with you, you should not be blocked by this barrier."
Shangguan Yuning said, untied the [Moon in the Water] scabbard on his back and handed it to Wei Ze: "The place where the spiritual weapon is placed is in the secret room on the first floor of the attic. After entering, walk fifty steps northward, and you can see the statue of the ancestor of the family. After reciting the rules, tap nine times on the index finger of the statue's left hand to enter. During this period, you will protect the Dharma from the Lord."
Wei Ze responded, took the spiritual weapon from her hand and walked inward. With her eyes, she could easily pass through the barrier and push open the door and enter it.
The interior of Wenyun Tower is an open-style shelf, with a picture of Qiankun Bagua in the center, which surrounds the stairs upwards and reaches the high dome. The sunlight shines from top to bottom to illuminate the center, and is surrounded by the corridor lights of the night light pearls.
Due to the exhaustion of spiritual power, the lights of the Spirit Pearl were already very weak at this time. Even so, he could still see small rooms scattered in rice shapes on both sides, with doors open, which should be the chaos left by emergency combat at that time.
Wei Ze glanced at one of the largest rooms curiously and saw that the wooden wall was covered with long swords of similar styles, which looked like hundreds of them. There were seven or eight dome treasure chests piled up below, some of which were open, and it was seen that there were small weapons such as daggers and flying knives. All the weapons had vague spiritual power fluctuations, and they should be low-grade spiritual weapons.
He just glanced at the other rooms with a rough look, including guns, halberds, axes and other various weapons, which were all available.
Although he had imagined it before, Wei Ze was still moved when he placed this object in front of him - although it was a low-grade spiritual weapon, this was exactly what students nowadays adapted. With the storage in this treasure house, it can be used for at least hundreds of students to practice.
According to Shangguan Yuning, this bottom layer is just a mass-produced spiritual weapon for entry-level children, and that is even higher...
He suppressed his excited heartbeat, withdrew his gaze from the room, turned to walk in as Shangguan Yuning said, and came to the statue of Shangguan Ancestor. The statue was also carved from bluestone, about five meters high, and was inserted into the ground and looked in front of him.
"I swear here that my name is Wei Ze. I have not committed adultery and stealing, have not hurt good and innocent people, and have not violated the precept of indulging in lust and killing..."
Shangguan Yuning told him the format of the rules for killing demons. Wei Ze raised his right hand and recited it in front of the statue as usual. He saw that the statue's eyes were sharp. It was obviously a dead object, but the eyes made people feel pressure. He finished chanting with the pressure, stepped forward, and according to what Shangguan Yuning said, knocking nine times at the index finger of the statue's left hand, then he heard a strange sound. The statue, which seemed to be close to the wall, slowly rotated, revealing the secret room inside.
"This is really a decryption game routine..."
Wei Ze sighed in his heart, and had already stepped into the secret room under his feet. The room was about three or four square meters in size, with endless spiritual candles placed in all corners, and the walls were painted with various magic tricks.
And right in the center of many techniques, complex blue patterns guard a small altar in the center, and the altar is a groove consistent with the sword shape of the [Moon in Water].
As if he felt the familiar breath, the [Moon in the Water] in his arms trembled slightly, emitting a cold and quiet aura. Wei Ze took it out, and before he could set off, he saw the [Moon in the Water] floating up automatically, hanging on his head, and then slowly inserted it into the groove, tightly fitting.
