Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 286 Changliu Lake ([-])
"Go, no matter what is in front of me, I have to rush." ​​Xiang Jingxing said slowly, with a firm tone, and looked at Qin Hao: "Brother Qin, what about you?"

Qin Hao's expression was uncertain, and he weighed in his heart that if he continued to move forward, his life might be in danger.

If he went back to the mansion just like this, he would feel unwilling. It would be a waste of his work. Not only did he get nothing, but he also lost a scroll of demon spirit seal, plus the two beads when the formation was broken, the loss was too great. Some of the elixirs that were distributed were not enough to make up for the damage.

Originally, he planned that if the guards in this hall were strong, he would leave immediately after getting the treasure in this hall. He did not intend to break into the central hall.

He also thought so after killing the tiger-shaped ghost.The strength of this tiger-shaped ghost was far beyond his expectations. The guards in the outer hall were just stone statues. Although they were a bit difficult to deal with, they were no more than low-level puppets in the final analysis, and they did not pose any threat to them.

Who would have thought that they would encounter such powerful ghosts in the inner hall, two white-clawed ghosts whose strength was comparable to that of a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and a tiger-shaped ghost whose strength was comparable to that of a Dzogchen Foundation Establishment. Fortunately, they did not break the seal together. If they attack several people at the same time, they can't deal with them at all.

What he is most worried about is that there are guards of Jindan level in the central hall. Wouldn't it be self-defeating?

But he was really unwilling to go back so disheartened.

The treasure is right in front of his eyes, as long as he takes that step, he will have a chance to get it. This kind of temptation makes him a little hard to refuse.

"What about you? Do you want to find out or go home?" Qin Hao asked instead without answering.

"Of course I want to find out." Yin Tianci said.He has been trapped in the middle stage of foundation establishment for many years, and it is difficult to break through if there is no great opportunity in this life. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, he can't let it go.

There is no difference between dying of old age and being killed, it is death anyway.

The way of practice has always been difficult and perilous, if it is not for longevity, what is the use of practice.Live a few more years and live a few years less, but just prolong the years.

He is determined, and has never changed since the day he embarked on the road of cultivation. His goal is not Jindan, Nascent Soul, dominance, or the admiration of all people.

For one simple reason, longevity.

He often hated not giving me time, was born in a remote place in Xingang, could not see the prosperity of the practice world, and had no great chance to descend.

Every time I read those anecdotes, I always sigh with envy.

Now there is an opportunity coming to me, how can I not try my best, how can I give up halfway.

"I found this treasure map, no matter what, I have to see what treasure is hidden." Yin Tiansheng said.

Qin Hao heard the two of them express their opinions, and his heart sank: "Okay then! I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman and break into this dragon's lake and tiger's lair with a few fellow Taoists."

Xiang Jingxing said: "Before that, I have to restore the spiritual power in my body and reach the best condition before moving forward."

Several people nodded in agreement, they also need to recover the spiritual power that was consumed in the first battle.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. I don't think there will be guards at the Golden Core level in the central hall. With the strength of the few of us, we should be able to deal with it." Several people sat cross-legged on the spot, and Yin Tianci suddenly said

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh? Why? Did Fellow Daoist Yin discover anything?"

Yin Tianci said: "You think, what is the purpose of this treasure-hunting cultivator doing all this? There is nothing in this hall, but he sealed those ghosts here to act as guards, and even released a few people from the outer hall The same empty cabinet is here."

Qin Hao said: "Didn't fellow Daoists just say that? It was to make unsuspecting intruders think that there are treasures in this palace, and then uncover the seal, let go of the ghosts and kill us."

"This is the problem. If there are guards at the Golden Core level in the central hall. Why do treasure hunters have to spend so much time and effort?"

"You mean?" Xiang Jingxing asked in surprise

Qin Hao also realized something, his eyes were flickering.

Yin Tianci said slowly: "Let's assume that the Central Hall is a treasure trove, and there are guards at the Golden Core level in it. Isn't it redundant to set up the inner hall of the Treasure Cultivator? It seems to remind people that the Central Hall has Golden Core level guards." The same, let people get out of trouble."

"If I were a treasure-hunting cultivator, I would definitely not be like this, because if the intruder retreats, I may be more prepared, and invite stronger monks to come here."

"So I expect that the central hall will not have a golden core-level guard force. The purpose of the treasure hunter's design of this inner hall is completely bluffing."

"Let the uninformed intruders preconceive that the guarding power of each hall is increasing. Since the inner hall is guarded by ghosts in the late stage of foundation establishment, the central hall must have Jindan level guards, so that the intruders will retreat."

"Actually, if the central hall really has golden core guards, then there is no need to design any outer and inner halls. Just hide all the treasures there. Once the intruders come and face the golden core guards, they will be wiped out. so as not to leak the news."

Hearing what he said, several people were suddenly enlightened, and they all felt that it was reasonable.

This also explains why there are no treasures here, but these powerful ghosts are sealed. This is definitely not a prank by the monk who hides treasures, but a design with ulterior motives.

"Yin Daoyou is far-sighted, and Qin admires it." Qin Hao said happily

Xiang Jingxing said: "Everything has not yet been concluded, and I should not be careless. Even though the central hall does not have Jindan-level guards, I think the guards will not be weak, so we still have to be cautious."

"Unfortunately, killing that tiger-shaped ghost took us a lot of energy, and even my seal scroll was used. If we save it to deal with the guards of the central hall, we will be more confident." Qin Hao sighed

Several people remained silent, and each swallowed the elixir to restore the spiritual power in their bodies.

After a long time, Xiang Jingxing opened his eyes, his body was full of spiritual energy as before, but his face was still slightly pale, which was caused by the loss of some blood just now.

The others have already recovered, just waiting for him!

"Fellow Daoist Xiang has recovered his spiritual power?"

"Let's go!" Xiang Jingxing stood up and said, several people walked through the long corridor of bluestone and green tiles, walked more than a hundred feet, and came to the majestic and majestic main hall.

Yin Tianci, who was the leader, stopped and slowly pushed open the vermilion gate.

Several people hung their spiritual weapons high in the air, protecting themselves, all of them looked dignified.

The door of the palace creaked and opened wide, and there was nothing in the huge courtyard.

Several people filed in, with their minds far away and cautious.

Yin Tianci took the lead and performed the Golden Corpse Iron Bone Technique, his whole body was completely annihilated and turned into a corpse with a black shield of Zhang in front of him.

Xiang Jingxing is on the left, surrounded by iron scrolls.

Qin Hao is on the right, and the golden bell envelops him.

Yin Tiansheng is behind, with a blue flying sword hanging over his head.

Everyone is about ten feet apart.

The courtyard was extremely quiet, only the sound of a few people's footsteps.

Several people walked hundreds of steps and came to the front of the hall.

The more silent you are, the more unusual it feels in your hearts, as if there is a sword hanging above your head, dangling back and forth, without falling.

No one believed that there would be no guards in this hall.

Yin Tianci stopped in his tracks, exchanged glances with everyone, and then gently pushed open the door of the palace. In fact, several people's spiritual senses had already detected that there was no foreign object in the palace, but they were only worried about triggering some restrictions, just like entering the outer palace. Normally, pushing the door open triggered the stone statue's attack.

The vermilion door opened, and the first thing that came into view was a skeleton. He was sitting cross-legged on the futon, wearing a black Taoist robe. The futon under the seat was already rotten, but the Taoist robe on his body was not wrinkled at all.

This person must have been a highly cultivated monk during his life. Judging from the degree of decay of the futon, it must have been at least several hundred years. His flesh and blood had rotted away, but his body was still intact. Withstood the erosion of the years, it was enough to show his cultivation level during his lifetime.

Obviously, the Taoist robe on his body is not ordinary.

There are four cabinets displayed behind the corpse, other than that, the hall is empty.

Yin Tianci's expression became more and more dignified, and the black shield in front of him shone brightly, protecting him and walking into the hall, step by step with extreme caution.

When he came to the side of the corpse, he opened the cabinet, and there was a wooden box inside.He took out the wooden box and opened it, only to see a black three-foot long sword inside, which is a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Xiang Jingxing and Qin Hao saw that there was no movement in the hall, so they strode to the front of the cabinet.

"I have three high-grade spiritual weapons here." Xiang Jingxing said.

"I have five middle-grade spiritual weapons here." Qin Hao said
"I only have some top-grade and top-grade magical artifacts here, as well as some talismans, including magical and spiritual symbols." Yin Tiansheng said and several people took the spiritual artifacts and talismans in the cabinet.

"There is a storage bag between his cuffs." Qin Hao tore off the black Taoist robe on the corpse, and found a storage bag between the sleeves of the robe. He couldn't help being overjoyed.

This corpse must have been a Golden Core cultivator before he was alive, and the value of the items in his storage bag was immeasurable.

Qin Hao was about to put his storage bag in his pocket, when the corpse suddenly fell straight up, and there was only a loud noise, as if something exploded, the ground of the hall collapsed, the hall shook for a while, and then calm was restored.

I saw a hollow several feet in size under the corpse, and there seemed to be another universe underneath.

"What's going on here? Could it be that the underground is the real place to hide treasure?" Xiang Jingxing frowned as he looked at the dark underground void.

"Why don't you go down and have a look?" Yin Tianci pondered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he could only hear the harsh and thin sound of salsa from the ground.

The faces of the few people changed, and they immediately thought that it was the guards here.

The thin sound of salsa turned into a humming sound, and the sound became louder and louder.

Several people looked at each other, they all felt that something was wrong and immediately withdrew from the hall.

I saw a black mass of unknown things coming out of the ground and chasing them, making buzzing noises.

It was in front of them in the blink of an eye, and only then did they see clearly that this mass of black mass was neither a ghost nor a magical technique.

It is a large group of ants, these ants are black and black, each five or six inches in size, there are more than a thousand of them, densely condensed into a ball humming.

Seeing the group of ants attacking him and the others, Yin Tiansheng's blue flying sword burst into light, turned into a size of several feet, and slashed straight down.

With a bang, the flying sword slashed on the ant colony, and there was the sound of metal and stone colliding.
