Chapter 232 It
"Hmm? It should be the direction below."
Qu Mao pointed downward.
Although there was nothing below and they could see the endless sea at the bottom at a glance, the two men and the tiger knew that this traceless island must be facing the direction of the statue.
Immediately let Jiaozhou prepare to pass through the barrier.
I saw a bright and precious light coming out from the dragon boat, like a glass mirror, covering the entire dragon boat, and then it swung its tail and rushed downwards.
The three of them clearly saw that when they reached a certain point, ripples like water suddenly appeared around the Jiaozhou, and gradually disappeared inside it.
A moment later, the entire boat disappeared on the sea.
I saw a flash of darkness and light in front of my eyes, and the surrounding environment changed drastically.
Due to the no-fly zone inside the island, the Jiaozhou had to land on the ground and was taken away by Qu Mao.
The sky was dark and gloomy, and there was gray fog all around. Although the vision was not very clear, the terrain was indeed as the Whale King said. Most of it was flat land, and strange mountains and hills in the distance could be seen, as well as caves under the hills.
Qu Mao looked forward, but his eyes suddenly fixed.
I saw that the top of the tall strange mountain was clearly emitting gold, silver and purple light.
I was immediately delighted.
He immediately pointed at the mountain and said, "Look, there is a three-color light on that strange mountain! It must be the three-color divine light!"
Upon hearing this, the other two looked in the direction of his finger.
Xuan Chengzi saw the three-color light, flicked his whisk, and nodded slightly, "It must be the three-color divine light!"
Only Ban Yu was confused.
"Where...where is this light?"
Upon hearing this, they were stunned.
"Isn't that where..."
Qu Mao immediately responded, "You can't see it?"
Ban Yu stared at the top of the mountain with his eyes wide open, and tilted his head in confusion, "There's nothing!"
At this time, Banyu also reacted. If there was really a three-color divine light on the top of the mountain, among the three of them, Qu Mao and Xuan Chengzi could see it, but it was the only one that couldn't see it.
"Strange..."
Qu Mao muttered something, but then seemed to remember something and said, "Speaking of which, when Chief Sun asked the Whale King, the Whale King also said that he saw nothing. Could it be that..."
Could it be that this divine light also carries racial discrimination?
Human cultivators can see it, but demon cultivators can’t?
Ban Yu seemed to have thought of this guess as well, and suddenly became depressed.
"Forget it, since our destination is just ahead, let's go there! Be careful when you pass by those skulls that are bowing their heads, and don't get separated!"
Xuan Chengzi and Ban Yu both nodded.
Then move forward step by step.
During the period, we found a lot of ruins of human buildings on the ground. These buildings and some pots, pans, and other objects inside them looked quite old, but they were not destroyed by violence, but rather seemed to be destroyed by the earthquake caused by the earth dragon.
Among them, you can also see tattered fishing nets, fish baskets, wood pulp and other items.
As they walked along, the two men and the tiger gradually arrived at the foot of the strange mountain.
At first glance, all you see are white skeletons kneeling on the ground, knocking their heads against the ground again and again, making uniform "bang bang" sounds.
In front of the many skeletons was a tall cave. The entrance alone was several dozen meters high, but it was pitch black inside and one could not see clearly inside.
The cave is embedded in the hills, and above the hills is the strange mountain.
I don’t know whether these white skeletons are worshipping the cave entrance or the strange mountain.
As if they had noticed someone coming, the skeletons could not stop kowtowing, but they opened their fleshless mouths and kept asking for help from the three.
"Save us..."
"Let us out..."
"Take us out..."
She sobbed and cried out in a pitiful and miserable voice.
Anyone who hears this will inevitably feel a little sympathy.
Xuan Chengzi looked at the human skeletons in front of him and the tattered clothes they were wearing. He realized that they should be ordinary local villagers.
Considering the buildings destroyed by the earth dragon and some fishing tools we saw earlier, it is not difficult to imagine that this island was originally in the sea.
The villagers were all ordinary fishermen, living on the island and making a living by fishing. Until one day, for unknown reasons, the island rose into the sky, and the huge earthquake destroyed the houses and made it impossible for the people here to go out again.
He looked at the skeletons that kept kowtowing and couldn't help asking, "What on earth happened on this island?"
When Xuan Chengzi asked, Qu Mao and Ban Yu immediately became alert, fearing that they might encounter something strange.
But the strange thing is that their will was not affected at all, unlike the Whale King, whose will was pulled into one scene after another.
Upon hearing the question, the skeletons started talking one after another.
"It's what holds us here..."
"It wants us to bow down every day..."
"It kills us and imprisons us..."
"Please save us..."
The skeletons' voices were not loud, as if they were intentionally lowering their voices.
Qu Mao immediately grasped the point and asked, "Who is that it you are talking about?"
Upon hearing this, all the skeletons froze and stopped talking.
There was absolute silence all around.
The two men and the tiger looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that these skeletons were very afraid of that "it"!
At this time, one of the skeletons with a turban on his head said cautiously: "It... is a monster... an evil demon..."
Um?monster?
Could it be that an evil demon is causing trouble?
"Then why does it ask you to kowtow here?" Qu Mao asked.
Another skeleton in a short coat said tremblingly: "It asked us to worship it, saying...it wants to become a god!"
Become a god? ! !
The two men and the demon were extremely shocked.
But on second thought, there are many people in the world who want to take shortcuts.
They are unwilling to work honestly and step by step to achieve their goals, but instead use evil methods to persecute others to achieve their goals.
This situation is not uncommon, and it is very common.
Could it be that this “it” is this kind of evil demon?
"Where is it? Do you know what kind of monster it is?" Qu Mao asked.
The skeletons once again answered each other one by one.
"In...in that cave..."
"It's very powerful, don't provoke it..."
"It... monster... can't say... can't say..."
"It's sleeping..."
"My Lords, please take us out while it's asleep..."
Listening to the skeletons' pleadings, I felt so sorry for them. Such good humans were imprisoned here by demons and turned into bones. They also had to worship the demons that harmed them every day.
The two of them couldn't bear it.
Xuan Chengzi looked at the three-colored divine light on the top of the strange mountain and said, "We all came here for important tasks. Once we obtain the divine light, we will..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ban Yu.
"Wait a minute, Taoist friend. Just relying on their family's words is not enough to be trusted. Taoist friend, have you forgotten what happened with Chai Gu?"
Upon hearing Ban Yu's words, Xuan Chengzi was stunned.
Qu Mao also came back to his senses and nodded, saying, "I don't know the whole story, so I won't comment. Let's take off the divine light first, and then report this matter to the local Demon Suppression Division in Yingzhou and let them deal with it."
Listening to Qu Mao's words, one of the skeletons sighed and said in an old voice: "It seems that you adults still don't believe us... Well, let the adults take a look at our memories!"
As soon as he finished speaking, rays of light rose from the skeletons' heads and merged into a ball of light.
Countless images can be vaguely seen flashing in it.
Is this... a ball of memory light?
