0786. Looking Back in Time

Li Mu hesitated slightly.

He was considering whether he should fly over this heavenly gate from a high place or push in through the Taotie Stone Gate in front of him.

Logically speaking, even the tens of thousands of meters high stone wall of the city gate cannot stop the immortal monks from leaping. This city gate is a building in the immortal palace. Who knows if there will be a terrible no-fly Prohibition.

If there is a fairy in yellow around, you can also ask.

After Li Mu thought for a moment, he walked forward and opened the door behind him.

Unexpectedly, before his fingers were placed on the door, a creaking sound like the rotation of rotten wood sounded, and the door covered with rivets of white Taotie stone heads opened automatically.

Li Mu was slightly shocked. Four golden sword chains were already hanging around him, like four golden dragons, guarding Li Mu.

He didn't know if it was Li Mu's illusion. He vaguely felt that the moment he opened the door, the densely packed Taotie stone heads on the entire stone door seemed to open his eyes for a moment, but when he looked carefully, there was nothing there. occur.

Li Mu crossed the stone gate and walked in.

The stupid dog follows.

It squinted, glanced at the Taotie portrait on the stone door, and drooled.

Those Taotie portraits suddenly lost their original lifelike spirit and became dim.

"This seems to be a school ground?"

Li Mu came to the city wall and saw a huge square.

On both sides of the square, there are more than a dozen two-story rock barracks, as well as four-story weapon racks carved with cloud patterns. On them are weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. They are all made of stone and are as white as jade. Just rough embryos, densely packed.

In addition, there are drums, flagpoles, general stands and so on.

This is clearly a military camp and school grounds.

But most of the barracks have collapsed.

There are also dead bodies lying in a mess in the school grounds.

Some turned into mummies, and some rotted away leaving only skeletons with white bones, and broken limbs scattered everywhere. It can be seen that there was a sudden attack here at that time, and the ancient heaven in the entire military camp Soldiers fought to the death with the enemy and suffered heavy losses. At least thousands of them died.

The warriors of the ancient heaven were basically human beings, and the corpses left behind were the same as human bones. However, although this invader was also similar to human beings, if you look closely, there are still differences in the bones.

Li Mu noticed some clues.

But what kind of creature is the intruder?

Li Mu wasn't sure.

Could it be the legendary extraterrestrial demon?

I remember that before entering the Immortal Palace, people from the Immortal Sect once said that it is very possible that there are still undead extraterrestrial demons in this Immortal Palace.

The air was filled with murderous aura that had not yet dissipated.

Waves of strange dark winds hovered in the school grounds, as if ghosts were marching.

Li Mu was on guard.

All the way deep.

At the very end of the school grounds, he saw a high platform similar to an execution platform. It was made of white jade and was twenty meters high. There was a half-destroyed guillotine on it, with the blade missing.

"That is?"

Li Mu stepped onto the execution platform and was shocked.

A man wearing rusty armor had his chest pierced by a bloody spear and was nailed to the ground of the execution platform. His hands were separated to the left and right, and his feet were also separated. They were both nailed to the ground with a dagger, and his limbs were spread out. It became a big character, which shows that he was tortured and killed here.

This is a general from ancient heaven.

The strange thing is that judging from the degree of decay of the armor, he must have been dead for a long time, but his body is very well preserved, with clear face, smooth skin, and the blood stains on the wound are still shining with a faint brilliance. Just like before, it seemed like it would flow out at any moment, as if it had just died.

Li Mu approached cautiously, fearing that he would suddenly pretend to be dead and jump to life.

But what is certain is that he is lifeless and as cold as stone.

"He should be the highest general in this military camp, but he was brutally killed here."

Li Mu felt some sympathy for the deceased.

Standing on the execution platform, you can see that the corpses of the invaders are piled up like a mountain of bones around them. It can be imagined that the invaders were madly besieging this place, but the dead general killed them here. But the general In the end, he was defeated and died.

"According to the description of the Huanglong Clan Chief, the original place where the Ten Thousand Beast Rings were stored was on this execution platform... where could it be?"

Li Mu looked at the sentencing platform carefully.

He soon noticed that on the stone pillars fixed on both sides of the guillotine on the execution platform, there was a flying dragon carved on each side. The Yang seal technique was like a real dragon. The flying dragon on the left held a very similar to the ring of beasts in its mouth. Ring, while the mouth of the flying dragon on the right is empty.

"There are grooves inlaid with animal rings here. It seems that, if I guess correctly, the Huanglong clan's beast rings are inlaid in the mouth of this flying dragon."

Li Mu guessed.

He took out the ring of beasts and slowly pressed it onto the groove in the right dragon's mouth.

Click.

The sound of the ring fitting the groove.

As expected, the ring of beasts was accurately and perfectly embedded in the mouth of the flying dragon on the right.

A black brilliance flickered slightly in the ring of beasts.

Li Mu took two or three steps back and breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, I finally completed the assignment from Chief Huanglong.

Things went smoother than expected.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang at the door where he came from.

Li Mu and stupid dog immediately looked back.

The two Taotie-headed doors suddenly closed heavily.

The light in the entire military camp on the campus became dim without warning, and the sky where white clouds were originally floating leisurely turned into overcast clouds almost in an instant.

Whoosh!

The wind blows.

There was a strange rustling sound on the ground.

It was as if there were invisible ghost armies walking on the ground.

"Wow, why do you feel like you're in a horror movie all of a sudden?" DuoGou sneezed, his whole body shivering with chills.

A strange sound suddenly came from behind.

Li Mu looked back and his heart beat wildly.

The two flying dragons carved on the stone pillars actually came to life, wrapping around the stone pillars and twisting slowly. Especially in the eyes of the dragons, there was a smart light flashing, releasing a terrifying energy aura.

How is this going?

Could it be because of the reason why the Ten Thousand Beast Ring was returned just now?

Li Mu felt incredible.

He gradually realized that the matter entrusted to him by the Huanglong clan leader was not as simple as it seemed. There was definitely a big change in it. Whether it was good or bad, it was not yet certain.

The sky is overcast.

Li Mu could feel that a terrible power of law was suppressing him, making it impossible for him to escape from the military camp.

The wind blew.

Suddenly, one of the heavenly dragons raised its head and roared.

"Kill. General, I'm sorry, I woke up too late..."

This sad voice echoed in the air, full of regret, self-blame and anger.

The voice came from the mouth of the flying dragon on the left.

It holds the black ring in its mouth and flies into the sky.

Opening his mouth, he spat out the black ring and spun around. The three characters engraved on the inside of the black ring released a strange and mysterious power, reversing time and space. Even the light began to distort within the black ring.

Click.

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, illuminating the dark space.

Li Mu's eyes lit up and he saw figures walking around in the school grounds. At this moment, Li Mu thought he was dazzled.

Boom!

Lightning bolts fell from the sky one after another.

Densely packed.

The light of thunder swept across the entire school grounds.

Li Mu's eyes were dazzled by the lightning.

He rubbed his eyes.

Then something even weirder happened.

Lightning, sea of ​​consciousness, dark wind, low clouds... all of these disappeared completely the moment Li Mu rubbed his eyes. Suddenly, in front of him was a sunny, dilapidated and abandoned school field and military camp, which became neat and tidy, as if it was a new building. Same.

There were shouts of death coming from the arena.

The warriors in light armor, with young and youthful faces, are all young people in their twenties. They are divided into two tribes, feeding each other, training, and are practicing, practicing, and fighting in full swing.

The corpses of the invaders had long since disappeared.

War drums beat.

The drummer and bugler in the distance were waving flags and directing the soldiers of the other phalanx to line up.

"Haha, you did a great job."

A voice with a hearty laugh came.

When Li Mu looked back, he saw a general with a resolute face and a friendly smile, talking to him with a smile.

Isn't this the incorruptible corpse that I saw on the execution platform before, being nailed to death with hands, feet and limbs, with a bloody spear piercing the chest?

Li Mu was completely shocked.

What exactly is going on?

The dead are all alive.

Where are the invaders who destroyed this military camp?

"What are you doing standing still? Brat, hurry up and deliver the order. We will set off in the afternoon and take you to the real battlefield..." The brightly armored general patted Li Mu's shoulder affectionately.

The clear touch on his shoulder told Li Mu that this was definitely not an illusion, but a real thing.

Why is this happening?

Li Mu was simply puzzled.

It was as if in an instant, time went back and everything returned to before the war.

But the question is, why did that general speak to Li Mu?

Even if we could go back in time, Li Mu should not have appeared in the war thousands of years ago. The general seemed to have known Li Mu for a long time.

Li Mu didn't know what to say for a moment.

The general said: "You brat, why are you so dazed? You..."

The words have not yet finished.

Boom!

A loud noise came.

Then, outside the gate of the school grounds, the sound of killing was suddenly heard.

Boom!

The school gate was violently knocked open from the outside.

Thick black figures rushed in from the gate, waving weapons with cold light and shouting to kill.

"Enemy attack."

Some soldiers shouted.

The battle broke out in an unprepared moment.

Li Mu saw that dozens of soldiers were caught off guard and chopped down on the spot, turning into minced meat.

The expression of the general on the execution platform changed greatly, but he reacted quickly and shouted: "Are they the demons from outside the territory? They actually invaded the imperial palace? Prepare for war, prepare for war! Wang Dehu, Zhen Menglong, you two, come up to me and control the camp Take back the door..."

This was the first time in Li Mu's life that he had seen an extraterrestrial demon.
