Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 248 Documents and Historian

"boom!"

After a loud noise resounded through the mountains, Fang Dushu and the others finally worked together to break through the barrier and successfully climbed to the fourth floor of Taizi Peak.

Earlier in the beast garden on the third floor, after they picked up the demon skeletons and inner alchemy all over the floor, they immediately broke the restriction leading to the fourth floor.

This prohibition is quite strange. It is a roadblock array composed of sound waves, just like placing a big horn on a mountain and blowing it down along the climbing stone steps. The sound waves will impact from top to bottom. Avoid being enveloped by sound waves.

Fang Dushu and the others are no exception.

They discovered that this sonic impact, like a boulder rolling down, would knock them back into the garden on the third floor, if not crush them to death.

At first they forced their way into the formation, but they were knocked down by the sound waves every time.

Just when they were helpless.

Fang Dushu discovered by chance that many of the monster skeletons in the garden had the power of absorbing sound, so he used these monster skeletons as 'shields' and drove them to test the formation. After a trial, the 'shields' played It has a miraculous effect and can protect him from moving forward slowly in the sound waves.

It's a pity that the protection of the 'shield' is very short, a monster skeleton can only support Fang Dushu to travel tens of feet in the sound wave, and then it will be shattered by the sound wave.

Fortunately, there are hundreds of monster skeletons in the garden, and the monster skeletons with sound-absorbing power account for two to three out of ten. These numbers are enough to support Fang Dushu and others to pass through the sound wave restriction and reach the entrance of the fourth floor.

A thick wall of sound was erected at the entrance, and Fang Dushu and the others joined forces to attack.

After a stick of incense, the wall of sound collapsed.

Fang Dushu and the others came to a huge gate made of gold and silver.

Under the doorpost, there are two demon cultivator skeletons wearing armor. They are like gate guards. Although they have been dead for many years, they will not leave their posts even though they die.

Each of them has a battle flag planted beside them. The flag is about ten feet wide and long, with faint sound waves spreading from it.

The sonic ban that blocked the way earlier should have been triggered by these two battle flags.

Mr. Shen Di and Mrs. Li Mao, one disfigured, one broken arm, but it didn't affect the two people's quick eyesight and quick hands. They cast a spell and directly took the battle flag into their hands.

The armors worn by the two demon cultivators were as new as ever, and they were not damaged at all. At first glance, they looked like high-quality defensive magic weapons, and they were also stripped off by Mr. Shen Di and Mrs. Li Mao.

After the comparison, both of them felt that they were injured. Although the sound flag was powerful, it didn't help them much, and it was far less beneficial than the armor.

They negotiated with Qu Ya and Peng Jiugong, each asking for a pair of armor and giving up the sound flag.

Qu Ya and Peng Jiugong did not object to their method of dividing the treasure.

As for Fang Dushu, he monopolized the fire spirit as early as the second floor, which caused him to lose the right to speak about Fenbao.

When will he be able to regain his right to speak? It will only be possible after breaking through the fourth floor.

After searching the belongings of the two demon cultivators.

Fang Dushu and the others passed through the gate and came to a square with a statue of a monk.

The area of ​​the square is quite open, and there are four statues standing there, one at a distance of one hundred feet.

Below each statue, there is a stone tablet introducing their personal history.

Because of the age, the inscription has long been blurred to the point of being unrecognizable.

However, the four statues are all wearing official robes and hats, and holding official seals in their hands, but the handwriting on these official seals is very clear.

The words "Financial Officer Red Butterfly", "Rite Official Golden Goat", "Military Officer Qingjiao" and "Historian Official White Whale" are engraved on the print respectively.

After seeing it, Peng Jiugong guessed, "The four of them should be officials under Prince Chonglong's command!"

Fang Dushu and the others all nodded.

Qu Ya continued: "From this point of view, this floor must be the official residence of the crown prince's subordinate officials!"

There is a basis for her analysis. There is an official residence building behind each statue.

After Fang Dushu and the others watched the statue, they began to investigate those buildings one by one.

However, the mansions corresponding to 'Financial Officer Red Butterfly' and 'Military Officer Qing Jiao' have collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins, which makes several people regretful.

"The financial officer should be the official in charge of the crown prince's money and food, and the military officer must be in charge of the prince's military equipment. It is conceivable that there will be a lot of treasures in the two official residences. In the end, all the caves were destroyed, which is also bad luck!"

In fact, the cave of 'Liguan Jinyang' is not complete. It is a two-storey attic. Dangerous building.

Fang Dushu and others moved the boulder away before they dared to go in to find out.

There is only a hall of ceremonial officials inside that can accommodate several people. There are broken tea sets, overturned incense tables, broken honor guards and other sundries scattered in the hall.

After inspection by Fang Dushu and the others, they found that they were all ordinary psychic artifacts, of no value.

However, a scroll that Qu Ya found out from the pile of debris attracted the attention of several people. After they unfolded the scroll, their eyes immediately focused on the surface of the scroll, and they couldn't leave it anymore.

This scroll is actually a treasure of gods. The officials of Taizi Palace sealed a simulated picture of Taizifeng with their spiritual consciousness.

The picture of Lingfeng on the scroll not only shows all the nine layers of geography of the entire mountain, but also has clear marks including the prohibition.

"Strange, how come there is a photo of God of Prince Peak here?"

"This is the mansion of the Li Guan. The duties of the Li Guan include welcoming and receiving guests. They often have to take people up and down the Prince's Peak. It may be convenient to make such a simulation spirit map!"

"Look quickly, everyone. This picture shows that there are restrictions on the fourth to fifth floors. It seems that you need to use the official seal to break the restriction and go up the mountain!"

Fang Dushu and the others looked at the restrictions in detail, and found that the stone steps along the mountain were blocked by four restrictions, and there was an official seal suspended at the entrance of each restriction, which must be held in order to pass the restriction safely and climb the fifth peak.

But the caves of the 'Financial Officer' and the 'Military Officer' have been destroyed, and the official seals are missing, so it is expected that they will not be found.

Fang Dushu and the others can only put their hopes in the caves of the 'Official Rites' and 'Official Historian'.

Qu Ya thought carefully, and found that in addition to the seal of Prince Peak's spirit map on the scroll, there was also a seal of "Liguan Jinyang" on the bottom.

She noticed something abnormal in the seal, and hurriedly said: "This seal is a bit weird. I put my consciousness into it, and it will bounce back. There should be foreign objects hidden in the seal."

Fang Dushu and the others dispersed their senses to check, and it was true.

Immediately, they joined forces and began peeling the seal from the scroll.

After a while, a palm-sized official seal with a square shape and a strong golden light protruded from the scroll.

When the official seal was completely separated from the scroll, and the writing on the seal disappeared, at this moment, several people realized that it turned out that the ceremonial official of the Taiwo Palace actually sealed his official seal in the scroll.

Seeing the official seal revealed, Peng Jiugong couldn't help laughing: "We hold this official seal, and it will be effortless to climb to the fifth floor!"

Granny Li Mao didn't seem very happy, and said with a cold face: "So what if we climbed up? Since we entered the Prince Peak, we have passed three levels in a row, but we haven't found a single treasure. Instead, we have collected a bunch of rags, which is not worth it at all." !"

She broke an arm, and her natal pet died tragically, so she felt that she had suffered a great loss from this expedition.

Mr. Shen Di was disfigured, and he was inclined to her opinion.

Fang Dushu and Peng Jiugong were unscathed, and both maintained the mentality that the trip was worthwhile.

Seeing everyone's faces, Qu Ya suddenly held up the official seal, and said something that made several people's faces turn pale: "Don't underestimate this official seal, it is not an ordinary seal, it is an ancient cultural relic, it is It is made by fusing a rare magic weapon with a complete oracle bone, as long as the official seal is refined, even if you don't read the oracle bone inscriptions, you can release all the magical powers of the oracle bone."

"Huh? Are you serious?"

Granny Li Mao and Young Master Shen Di were a little excited. They didn't have the qualifications to read literature. Even if they found complete oracle bones in the snowfield ruins before, they couldn't control them, and they were forced to sell them in the end.

If this official seal allows them to skip the step of viewing the text and directly release the power of oracle bones, then they will no longer be afraid of any sect disciples when they travel around the world.

"If the two fellow Taoists don't believe it, they can cast spells to prove it."

Qu Ya handed the official seal to the two of them.

The two were not polite, and began to relay the inspection officer Yin Shentong, which was too important to them, and they had to verify the authenticity with their own hands.

Each of them drives the official seal once, fully releasing the magic power of the oracle bones in the seal, which makes them overjoyed, and they all love the official seal.

They were about to use it several times, but they were stopped by Qu Ya, who explained to them: "This kind of inscription is amazingly powerful, but it is very different from the magic weapon. The inscription cannot be used repeatedly. After using it more than ten times, the oracle bone is really Wen will collapse due to the exhaustion of mana, and at that time, the Wen weapon will become an ordinary magic weapon!"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Li Mao and Young Master Shen Di reluctantly stopped casting the spell and handed back the official seal to Qu Ya.

Peng Jiugong remembered the Rope Sacrifice Talisman he sold at the Lishan Fa Conference, and asked Qu Ya: "Fellow Daoist Qu, have you heard of the Rope Sacrifice Talisman?"

Qu Ya seemed to know his confusion, and answered him directly: "The refining method of the official seal is actually the same as the martyrdom talisman! But the official seal is more delicate, and it can drive the oracle bone dozens or even dozens of times before it will cause The oracle bone is scrapped, but the martyrdom talisman will be scrapped once it is used!"

"So that's how it is!" Peng Jiugong clasped his fists suddenly, and asked again: "Fellow Daoist Qu should know how to refine official seals, right?"

"Fellow Daoist Peng really thinks highly of me."

Qu Ya said in a modest tone: "Earlier, on the shore of the Jiehu Lake we passed, there were some prince's bequeathed palaces. I found a classic collection in those bereaved halls. It introduced the power of the official seal, but what should the official seal be like?" Refining, there is no record left in the collection!"

"That's a pity."

Peng Jiugong smiled and sighed: "If Fellow Daoist Qu masters the method of refining seals, the sects of the Three Kingdoms in Hexi will definitely compete to recruit you as a true disciple."

This is not necessarily true.

Fang Dushu thought to himself that no matter refining inscriptions or sacrificial rope talismans, it was all at the cost of wasting oracle bones and Taoist ropes.

Once the artifacts and rope talismans are released, the scrapping of oracle bones and ropes will be irreversible. Any far-sighted sect will never list the artifacts and rope symbols as the core method, but will try its best to prevent its disciples from using them. Refining this kind of thing.

You know, the seal of cultural organs was studied by monks thousands of years ago, why didn't it spread in the world of cultivating immortals in Hexi?It must have been voluntarily abandoned by the various sects!
This kind of organ seal, as well as the martyrdom talisman, are only those who are mediocre in viewing literature and casual practitioners are keen on refining.

However, Qu Ya's knowledge and knowledge still aroused Fang Dushu's interest. He suddenly pointed to the fifth floor of Lingfeng on the scroll and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Qu, what is the purpose of opening only one spiritual gate and one magic pool on the fifth floor?"

Since they climbed the mountain, they have climbed a total of three levels of Lingfeng, of which the second level is the prince's guard camp, the third level is the prince's mount hall, and the fourth level is the prince's official residence.

There is no palace building on the fifth floor, only a square, which looks like a dojo where an altar is opened to teach the Dharma just from the spiritual map of the scroll.

Qu Ya didn't give a definite answer, she guessed and said: "I think the fifth floor should be the outdoor palace platform where Prince Chonglong summoned his subordinates!"

She also pointed to the Lingtu: "Fang Daoyou, please look, there are plaques on the palaces on the sixth and seventh floors of Lingfeng, all of which are the residences of the prince and concubines. Only if we can stop on the fifth floor!"

In this nine-story Prince's Peak, the fifth floor and below are all the residences of the subordinates, and the fifth floor and above belong to the prince's private domain, and even his confidantes cannot enter.

Fang Dushu followed the spiritual map and looked up. There was only a waterfall and a lake on the eighth floor, and a majestic statue stood on the ninth floor. The real text related to "Chonglong" was revealed on the statue, which should be the official residence of the prince himself.

Fang Dushu asked again: "Why is there only one lake on the eighth floor?"

Without waiting for Qu Ya to reply.

Mr. Shen Di said first: "This lake is opened on the top of the mountain. The scenery is so beautiful. It must be the place where the prince of Chonglong and his concubines play and have fun. The prince has a high position and power, so it is impossible to practice hard behind closed doors all day long, accepting concubines and concubines. , it is their main responsibility to spread the branches and leaves of the demon country!"

Fang Dushu thought so deeply, and smiled at Peng Jiugong: "What Mr. Shen said makes sense, what do fellow Daoist Jiugong think?"

Peng Jiugong accompanied him with a smile: "In any imperial palace in the world, there are imperial gardens, which are specially provided for the leisure use of the emperor and prince, and the prince of the demon country is no exception!"

Qu Ya didn't refute either.

Granny Li Mao felt that everyone's gossip was getting farther and farther, so she suggested: "Fellow Taoists, shall we go to the official residence of 'Historist Moby Dick'? There may be some great treasure hidden in the cave!"

Several people responded in unison, and walked towards the historian's cave.

Qu Ya put away the scroll and the official seal, and asked a few people on the way: "This scroll is of no value, it doesn't matter if I carry it with me, but the official seal is not trivial, how should it be distributed, and some fellow Taoists please bring a charter."

Several people said: "There is only one official seal, Fellow Daoist Qu put it away first, and after the expedition of Taizi Peak is completed, we will discuss the ownership at that time."

If Qu Ya didn't mention the special power of the official seal, they would not want it, so they have no objection to letting Qu Ya carry it temporarily.

The official residence of the official historian Moby Dick is only a few hundred feet away, and it will be there in a blink of an eye.

They pushed open the gate of the mansion and glanced into the main hall.

A white jade coffin first came into view.

They stood at the entrance of the main hall and cast spells, and the coffin lid was shaken open from the air, and there was a dead body of a man in official robes lying flat inside. Boldly enter.

This man Xiu held a jade book tightly in his arms.

Peng Jiugong raised his palm and sucked it, and took the jade book first.

After flipping through the cover, I saw a passage like this: "Xingzu Peak shattered and collapsed, and turned into nothing. The Taihuang lost to the siege of Dapan and six-pointed monks, and died in the funeral. Our country has no opponents. The entire Xingyao Palace fall……"
