Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 03: The Gate of Trial
Wei Xingying, who was knocked dizzy in the carriage, heard it very clearly at this time. Someone mentioned Shikigami just now!
His eyelids twitched violently. He had only seen things like Shikigami in ancient books. According to legend, this was a high-level elf or monster that was subdued by a sorcerer with extremely strong mental power. It was bound to the sorcerer's soul through a soul contract. Once the Shikigami recognized its master, it would follow the sorcerer for life until the sorcerer died and his soul was scattered. Only then would the contract terminate.
Not to mention the boundless magical powers possessed by the spirits and monsters that become Shikigami, because they are almost symbiotic with the caster, the Shikigami can also call upon the caster's own spiritual power. In other words, the stronger the caster's own spiritual power, the greater the power that the Shikigami can exert.
If the driver is really his uncle's Shikigami, what kind of terrifying existence would he be? Wei Xingying almost didn't dare to even think about it. Uncle Long Yu's own strength is already unfathomable to the point of being almost a demon. This Shikigami is probably unaware...
But on second thought, Wei Xingying felt even more uneasy. Logically speaking, this Shikigami should be his uncle's last trump card for self-defense, but now it has been used here. Then he, who stayed in Yonghui City, would be in even greater danger!
The anxiety and uneasiness in his heart intertwined, and it was an indescribable sense of frustration! The little girl beside him had been silent for a long time. Wei Xingying sighed helplessly again in his heart. Now all his hopes could only be placed on her, although he also understood that it was indeed a bit difficult for her to understand the mystery of the Soul Separation in such a short time.
At this time, Ping Lili had entered an unprecedented state of emptiness and meditation, as if everything in the world and everything around her had nothing to do with her. She could not hear any sound, could not feel anything, and her entire mental consciousness entered a chaotic state.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Ping Lili's consciousness began to gradually become clear. She heard a series of soft calls in her ears, but it was not Wei Xingying's voice. The voice seemed to come from the depths of her own heart. It was low, but seemed to contain supreme spiritual power, which made Ping Lili's heart tremble.
Then, Yinglili found that her body became ethereal again. Her hands and feet seemed to be her own, but they were so unreal. The twisted and floating five-colored ribbons gradually appeared in front of her eyes, which seemed to remind her of something in an instant. Her heart sank. Could it be that Yao Ji's spirit was calling her again? Wasn't this the scene that happened every time she went to see Yao Ji?
However, this time, something seemed different . The soft calling voice just now was definitely not from Yao Ji, because it was clearly a male voice.
Ping Lili looked around curiously, and then he discovered that a cold but fresh fragrance had appeared beside him, and all around him, there seemed to be a real milky white cloud of smoke surging. Then, there was a faint puffing sound coming from the front, and a giant bird with a familiar appearance came fluttering over, circled in front of Ping Lili, and slowly landed.
"Kite?" Ping Lili couldn't help but exclaimed. The giant bird that landed in front of him was exactly the kite that Yao Ji had used countless times in the magic of transforming all things five hundred years ago!
At this time, Ping Lili's heart was half relieved. Although she didn't know what was ahead, when she saw the giant bird, she felt reassured. She flipped over and jumped onto the back of the giant bird. She heard a roar, and the giant bird flew into the sky and flew away!
Ping Lili only felt that the light milky mist in front of him became more and more hazy, and he could hardly see the surrounding scenery, until the giant bird screamed again and slowly landed in front of a huge gate that towered into the clouds.
When Ying Lili turned over and jumped off the back of the giant bird, the giant bird turned into a small kite in its hand with a bang. Ying Lili's golden-brown eyes rolled around, and she didn't know what she was thinking. She looked around and then subconsciously touched her neck, but she didn't touch the secret bag. Although she was a little disappointed, she didn't intend to give up. She looked around furtively again, and then quickly put the kite into her sleeve. She looked like a thief, and she had completely forgotten where she was at the moment.
After packing up the treasure she had long coveted, Pinglili carefully looked at the huge gate in front of her that was towering into the sky. The dark red gate stood majestically in front of her like a barrier between heaven and earth. She raised her eyes, but could not see the top of the door. Looking left and right, it was endless, let alone pushing open the tightly closed door. Pinglili felt that she was as small as an ant standing under Mount Tai when she stood in front of the door.
She wondered in her heart what was behind this door? Could it be some kind of paradise?
Could it be that the person who had been calling me softly before was hiding behind this door? But if he was inviting me to come, why did he set up such a barrier here?
Could this be the legendary Gate of Trial?
For no reason, a thought flashed through Pinglili's mind. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. In the present world, Pinglili had read a lot of fantasy novels, so he had some common sense.
However, after figuring this out, I felt even more depressed. The person behind this door was really good at being mysterious. He didn't give any hints or guidance and just threw a door here. Who knows what to do with it?
Feeling depressed, Ping Lili stomped her feet angrily and wanted to turn around and leave. She didn't care about who you are, as long as you are not a god. I won't play with you anymore!
Silence, everything is quiet, nothing happened, the kite is still a small kite in my hand...
Thinking back to how she had just put away the kite like a thief, she was furious. How could she play with someone like this? Although she was extremely angry, she was reluctant to throw the kite away. She looked at it angrily for a long time, but she still put it back into her sleeve without ambition. Just because it was useless now didn't mean it would never be useful. She still had some cleverness.
Seeing that there was no way out, Ping Lili sighed and walked back to the huge door reluctantly, with her hands on her hips, looking like a female demon. Her golden-brown eyes stared at the door fiercely, searching her mind for any useful information.
After thinking for a long time and getting nothing, Ping Lili walked forward in a very free and easy manner and slapped the huge door. Although he never thought that he could slap the door open with one slap, it was still necessary to vent his anger.
However, when her palm touched the giant gate, she felt a bone-chilling feeling instantly. A hint of surprise flashed in Pinglili's eyes, and then she continued to put her other palm over. Both of her hands touched the giant gate, and a bone-chilling feeling spread from her palm to her whole body. Pinglili shivered from the cold and subconsciously took a few steps back.
At this moment, a light bulb suddenly flashed in Pinglili's mind. She stared at her fingertips, trying to recall the scene when she summoned the Nether Fire before. After looking for a long time, she found nothing. She simply closed her eyes and carefully recalled the scene when she summoned the Nether Fire for the first time...
After an unknown amount of time, when Ping Lili opened his eyes again, a dark green flame suddenly jumped up from his fingertips, jumping on his fingertips, just like that day! No, it was a little different. Before, whenever Ping Lili used his spiritual power to summon the Netherworld Fire, his golden brown eyes would turn red, because Yao Ji's spiritual consciousness was secretly controlling it. However, this time, from beginning to end, the golden brown eyes did not change at all. It was indeed Ping Lili's own spiritual consciousness that was controlling the Netherworld Fire!
Unfortunately, at this time, Ping Lili herself was still confused. She only vaguely felt that she had realized something. She gradually began to become familiar with how to control the spiritual power in her body and how to turn them into what she wanted!
As the Netherworld Fire on the fingertips burned more and more fiercely, a strange color flashed in Ping Lili's eyes. With a mischievous look on her face like a child, she approached the giant door again, and then raised her finger. The Netherworld Fire on the fingertips jumped towards the giant door like a spirit snake spitting out its tongue. Then, the Netherworld Fire actually spread along the lines on the giant door, forming an extremely strange pattern in the center of the giant door. Ping Lili was stunned for a long time before she could see clearly that it was actually a sickle-shaped pattern!
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light flashed, and the extremely huge door unexpectedly opened a crack silently. When such a huge and heavy door opened, there was not even a sound, which was a bit chilling!
At this time, the door slowly opened at an angle of fifteen degrees. The scenery inside could not be seen from the front. However, this silent opening of the door seemed to indicate some kind of invitation from the person inside.
At this point, Ping Lili was almost dumbfounded. She didn't expect that she was so lucky and could get something unexpectedly successful. However, the fear of the unknown world inside the door made her hesitate for a moment. However, there seemed to be no way out at this time, so Ping Lili gritted her teeth, exhaled twice, and with a heroic expression on her face, she went through the crack of the door without looking back!
Just as Pinglili stepped inside, the door closed silently...
