Chapter 1353: Being polite, the brightest path in the heart, betrayal and revenge

Day by day passed.

As the team grew larger, their speed of advancement began to become similar to that of ordinary people.

The day before, I visited the Self-Sacrifice Trail and the Temple of Mysteries, so naturally I shortened the outing by using an unusual way of traveling.

In the distance is the Mausoleum of the Red King.

The whirlpool-like sandstorms that once swirled across the sky at the top of the Red King's Mausoleum are now a thing of the past. There is no longer any sight of sand raging in the sky.

All that remains is the magnificent hourglass-shaped mausoleum, which consists of two triangular buildings, with a floating cube at its center.

The upper half of the hourglass demonstrated the power of God, making the heavy and majestic triangular building float in the air and remain stable.

This was once the "source of the sand waterfall" on the south side of the desert and the end point of the trial.

The village called Aru is the residence of the desert survivors, but the original Aru was here.

The end of the trial is not the end of the journey.

Jiang Yi looked at the information on the red sand slab. Without any trials, he could open all the levels with his own power.

He knew that according to the normal trial, after passing the Mausoleum of the Red King, one should turn back to find the throne of Akhmar. Only those who were recognized could set foot in and meet the Red King's "Holy Manifestation Hall".

The realm where the Red King's Palace is located is hidden from the world and cannot be reached by ordinary people. Only by passing three new trials can one see the mirage that was originally invisible and untouchable.

There was no plan to visit the Red King’s Palace in Jiang Yi’s outing.

He looked at the tomb in front of him, which was also known as the "Container of Gold". The gold of the king of the desert was the golden yellow sand.

The holy golden worm with horns on its head crawled across the sand, pushing round balls of sand.

Like pushing the sun.

A long, long time ago, the residents of Huangsha carved a royal seal based on this tenacious beetle to commemorate the red sun that cycles day and night and the endless time.

Later, the king's name was no longer mentioned by people, and the small royal seal was preserved in the disaster and scattered to all directions with his gilded descendants.

They reveal their former glory and silently tell the stories of their former owners.

The monk saluted Jiang Yi with his hands clasped together.

Then, he took out the old royal seal from his arms and knelt down towards the tomb of his former master using the old etiquette.

For they will walk in a new way.

"The Scarlet King once allowed every one of his subjects to freely enter and exit this 'original Aru'." Jiang Yi looked at the top of the Scarlet King's Mausoleum, "Come with me to see this 'reflection of Aru'."

"The paradise on earth, the jewel on the sea of ​​sand, has collapsed into sand. Now we will use the oasis we have created and seen to fill this illusory reflection and plant the 'new Aru'."

Aru is the disappeared pure land.

Aru is the future paradise.

"The Venerable Buddha said..." Many monks bowed.

Feligis commanded a series of energy constructs to clear the way.

Everyone stepped into the Red King’s Mausoleum.

Behind them, the Gilded Brigade and the Fatui were waiting outside the Red King's Tomb.

“Why don’t you dare take action?” A tall member of the Gilded Brigade with a cold and sharp temperament questioned the Fatui.

The Fools spread their hands: "We once agreed to jointly obtain the Red King's legacy, but the Red King's legacy has already been returned to His Majesty the God of Man."

"To take any more would be stealing."

"The executive officer who is here on business told us to be polite."

"So, our agreement has actually ended."

In fact, even if the executive officer didn't say anything, they would be polite in the territory of the God of Man.

Sameer showed an embarrassed expression: "So you were the ones who broke the contract first. You have to help me capture those two people as compensation. The God of Man... He may not value the wealth of the mortal world. He cannot obtain the power of the Red King that you want. You can also take the Red King's wealth and other inheritances."

"If you really wanted to give up, you shouldn't be here right now. Am I right?"

"No, no, no! That's not right!" The Fatui shook their heads. "We are actually here to do archaeology. Um! Civilization archaeology... We have already submitted an archaeological application to the Council of Ordinances."

The application has been submitted, but whether it will be approved is another matter, but they are just going to take a stroll in the desert anyway.

It is also the scholars' duty to investigate the Red King's technology even though they cannot obtain the Red King's divine power!

Maybe it can be changed to "application for scientific and technological exchange" in the future.

If this "application" could reach the hands of the God of Man, then things would be perfect.

Perhaps it would be easier than applying to the stuffy sages of the Decree House.

Samel still had his sanity left, and did not mock these foolish soldiers for their cowardice in the face of the mighty power of the God of Man.

"As for taking action?" The Fatui took a step back. "Don't drag us into this if you want to die!"

"Did you see the blonde girl and the white floating spirit? The blonde girl is very powerful and ruthless. She often beats us Fatui for no reason. She also has a close relationship with the God of Man. Although she may be a bit of a boost to others' morale and a loss to her own prestige, our team is not strong enough to defeat her."

The Fatui did not see through Jiang Yi's true identity, but from observing from a distance, they had already discovered that something was wrong with this team.

Those obedient energy mechanisms, strange magic bottles, and the desert tribes that muttered and worshipped one person.

Always make them feel that His Majesty the God of Man is in the team.

"If you have a grudge against those two desert people, my advice is to give up on revenge." The leader of the Fatui was very kind. "You said they had clues to the 'Golden Dreamland' and the 'Eternal Oasis'... but they are no longer useful now. They have lost their value to us. There is no need for us to risk going against the God of Man and murder them."

If the Fatui didn't still want the Gilded Brigade in front of them as desert guides, they would have given up on cooperating with these people long ago.

"Gabriel..." Samel wiped the scimitar in his hand and sneered.

"There will always be a chance... I will never... let you go!!!"

He closed his eyes, unwavering.

……

"Skillful craftsmen have built a thousand corridors through the natural caves, so that even a wise man with good sense of direction will inevitably lose his way once he enters them."

Inside the Red King's Mausoleum, Feligis looked at the Red King's mausoleum with great interest.

Gabriel took the jade slip and recalled the records in the ancient books, describing the dangers of the surrounding maze.

Few people know that forests have their own mazes, deserts have their own mazes, and the mazes are the shackles that trap the Whisper of the Demonic Sky... Jiang Yi can still remember the memory of himself and the Red King studying forbidden knowledge deep in the maze in his dreams.

The quicksand in the maze is like water, changing unpredictably. Mirages appear and disappear from time to time, turning into visible walls and invisible barriers. The energy mechanism lines that can open the doors of many passages are also hidden behind the mirages.

Ancient statues of gods can be seen everywhere, and the mysterious murals are majestic and dazzling.

Jiang Yi found the "Sun Boat" here. It was a wooden boat placed on the imperial platform. It did not have any magical power to cross the underworld or resurrect the dead, but it was undoubtedly placed here as a symbol of ritual.

He saw the blessing hall where the priests and priests prayed in the past. The blessings of the believers would be brought directly to the throne of the Red King, and the devout would be honored to go to the throne.

By then, the queen of flowers had faded into the dust, and the master of the plants also decided to leave. Only the descendants of the yellow sand chose to stay with their gods.

Even as the shadow of disaster draws closer, the authority they trust still shines with an eternal light like amber and gold.

"Buddha, we are willing to accept the test in this mausoleum and follow the ancient rules to ascend to Aryu." The monks bowed. There were no tests on the path taken by the Buddha.

They could follow the Buddha all the way to Arūpa, but as the people of the Yellow Sands in the past, they could not be so lazy and just accept the Buddha's protection.

Choosing to face the test is like choosing to face the disasters in the sea of ​​suffering alone in the future life.

Only those who are wise, brave, and have supernatural powers can follow the Tathagata as a vessel to save all living beings. Otherwise, they are merely people who are saved by the Tathagata, but not those who can protect the Tathagata's great path.

"Going to the ruins with you is like shopping. There's no sense of adventure or exploration at all." Paimon couldn't help but say, "I also feel uncomfortable... overly safe and boring."

Put your hands on your hips and find me a job, right? Paimon!

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Then you, Paimeng, can also go with the monks. I will be waiting for you at Aru on the top of the Red King's Mausoleum. You can take some of the gold, agate, pearls and diamonds in the Red King's Mausoleum as a reward for passing the trial."

"I can't let you go back empty-handed after coming here."

"Huh!" Paimeng had long coveted the treasures here. When he heard Jiang Yi say that he could take them, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Some of the monks were moved, while others were indifferent.

Lilupal looked at the expressions of the monks.

It's not surprising that mortals have desires.

The desert people here are much nicer than those in the desert outside.

Monks should practice the three disciplines of precepts, concentration, and wisdom to extinguish greed, anger, ignorance and other afflictions. These monks are still in the process of practice.

So how many practitioners here can bear the honor of "Arhat and Yaksha"?

"Hmm! Then my dad and I will try the trials here!" Jade thought for a moment, "This kind of opportunity is rare. Maybe I can gain some experience in exploring desert ruins."

Jiang Yi looked at Jie De and said with a smile: "Okay!"

"However, you should remember that since you have accepted the test, the energy mechanism here will also be part of the test."

"You may get hurt, you may die... and I won't do anything."

Paimon's face turned pale.

Felicitis laughed.

Deep inside the Red King's Mausoleum, there is a hall called the "Hall of the Scepter". An inscription in the hall says that Akhmār has no enemies, and all disrespectful people will be wiped out by the servants who set out from here and become a handful of yellow sand.

The energy constructs, solemnly arranged like an army, were placed in the triangular halls, like display cabinets for weapons, all bathed in the glory of the hourglass-shaped energy building.

That display cabinet has countless layers on the left, right, top, middle and bottom. It can continuously display thousands of energy mechanisms hidden deep in the hall.

As for the reward of treasure, it is as it should be. Those who pay respect to the Red King, those who are wise, and those who are not afraid of darkness can obtain rewards that are not available anywhere else in the "Hall of Hengzheng" deep in the Red King's Mausoleum.

As the controller of the energy mechanism, the great town spirit, Feligis has received the memories of all the energy mechanisms here. Through the connection of the energy network, she knows this place very well.

She would naturally ask the Yuanneng Agency to treat these people well.

But she also understood that the master certainly didn't want anyone to die here.

"Ying, I'd better follow you obediently!" Paimeng, who felt too safe just now, was now poured with a handful of cold water. The surroundings suddenly became too dangerous.

"Paimeng, as the altar purifier, I think you should be more powerful than the monks, nuns, arhats and yakshas in the mortal world!" Ying couldn't help but encourage.

"Uh! I think I'm better than them at eating." Paimeng lowered his head and defended himself with a stiff expression. Just as Jiang Yi said, the Arhats and Yakshas each had their own strengths and different abilities. His ability to "eat" has reached the pinnacle, second only to Jiang Yi.

"Indeed!" Jiang Yi nodded. As a pig... and as the messenger of the altar, Paimeng can be regarded as the symbol of "greed" among greed, anger and ignorance.
