The cave is extremely vast, with a height of thirty feet and a length of a hundred feet. There are many houses built in the cave, row upon row, layer by layer. Although the walls are in ruins, the grandeur of the past can be vaguely seen. The entire cave is inlaid with fluorite, which makes the surroundings look so bright.
The stone of the house has turned blue-black, and is covered with a layer of black ash. Brush it off with your hands, and you will see spots on it, like the black scratches left on the wall after an ivy was knocked down by the autumn wind.
Carefully walking up the stairs, I accidentally found several skeletons that looked similar to those in the ice outside the cave. They turned into dust with a light touch. Most of the objects in the house were broken, and some even showed signs of being vandalized.
Deep in the cave, there is a square high platform standing at the highest point, which gradually becomes narrower from bottom to top. There are complicated patterns carved around it. The patterns are messy and have no meaning. Just like the ball of thread of a lazy woman in the world, it is randomly tangled together.
In short, chaos.
In the center of the high platform, there is a round black boulder, surrounded by dark brown ditches, extending in all directions like volcanic lava flowing.
In the middle of the boulder is a fist-sized bird's nest. The bird's nest is made of an unknown material, with a wrinkled surface and a shape like a walnut.
Around the high platform, there are four skeletons sitting quietly in four directions, their heads hanging deeply, and the same traces of mycelium as the ice corpses outside the cave can be seen on their bodies. These mycelium are connected with the ditch on the high platform and become one, as if four small mushrooms are growing on the huge mycelium.
Standing on the quiet high platform, looking at the very petite bird's nest in the grand scene around him, Wu Gen stood there for a long time, hesitating whether to step forward.
At first, I didn't dare. The bird's nest put a very strong pressure on me, and when I got closer, I felt my soul throbbing.
Secondly, the feeling of comfort coming from the bottom of his heart told him that this bird's nest might be of great benefit to him.
It's like facing a fire. If you get close, you will get warmth. If you get too close, you will get burned. I wanted to ask Mu, but this lazy guy had already hid in the soul crystal. In desperation, Wu Gen still stepped onto the high platform.
There was nothing in the bird's nest, only a pile of ashes fell into it. Judging from the traces, it looked like a worm. I took out the broken knife and tried it carefully. Fortunately, nothing happened.
Wu Genxin relaxed a little and reached out to take down the bird's nest. As soon as his hand touched it, Wu Gen's eyes turned white, his pupils were all gone, and countless confusing scenes appeared in front of him.
Fighting, shouting, huge dandelions, filaments flying all over the sky, all the images are chaotic and random, hitting the mind like a hammer.
Wu Gen's eyes were spinning wildly, blood gradually seeped out of his mouth and nose, and his face was as pale as paper. This was a sign that his soul was overwhelmed.
Suddenly, these scenes flew by quickly like the scenery beside a speeding carriage. There are bunches of colorful light flowing in front of my eyes, forming a big river like a silver man.
Going up the river, I vaguely saw people wearing white robes, kneeling under the high platform. The bird's nest on the high platform emitted a white halo, and stretched out countless long white threads. The white silk danced gently, initially as slender as spider silk, gradually becoming thicker, and finally submerged into the body of the man in white robe.
Looking around, with the high platform as the center of the circle, there are rows of people in white robes kneeling all around, all with a thin thread connected to the bird's nest on the high platform.
Wu Gen's body trembled like chaff, blood was oozing from his eyes, ears, and even the pores on his body, and he lay in pain next to the bird's nest.
In the long river, everything suddenly started to shake. Wu Gen knew that he was about to collapse. He tried his best to calm down his mind, moved his eyes away from the long river, and left the bright long river little by little. This is not a field that I can touch yet. Forcibly testing it can only be like a speck of silver light on the river, eventually disappearing into nothingness.
Finally, the river was removed from his mind, and before Wu Gen could make a move, waves of thunderous waves came, making loud noises and shouting, engulfing Wu Gen. Before losing consciousness, he faintly heard a long and ethereal voice, penetrating endless time and space, gently caressing his scarred self.
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Gen woke up from his coma. He quickly broke away as if he had seen a ghost, and took a few steps back with his hands on the ground.
This thing is really something
It's an evil door. No wonder no one has taken it away. It is indeed Li Ku on the roadside.
After lying on the high platform to relax for a long time and wiping the blood on his face, Wu Gen slowly got up and prepared to leave. Without even looking at the bird's nest, good things must be taken with your life. Although he is greedy for money, what he can't get his hands on is waste, so what's the use of it?
Mu suddenly jumped out and stood on top of Wu Gen's head, staring at the bird's nest, his long nose twitching constantly, "Why don't you take such a good thing?"
Wu Gen grabbed Mu's head angrily, put it in his hands and rubbed it vigorously, "Why don't you take it? I was about to die in it just now, and you didn't come out to help, so now I pour it out and say goodbye."
Mu angrily broke away from Wu Gen's hand, "Why don't I help you? Don't you understand the truth of finding wealth in danger? Do you know what a great opportunity you have after this calamity, and your soul path will rise to the next level. Don't believe it?" Go ask that big cockroach.
How many people have dreamed of things that are not yet available, but today they hit your head. It shows that you are also a lucky person. "
Wu Gen did not doubt Mu's statement. He was already on the verge of collapse just now, but the roar that sounded after the thunderous tide instantly stabilized his soul, which was about to collapse.
After breaking and establishing, Wu Gen's soul was much more refined, and his senses were far more sensitive than usual. Standing on the high platform, you can clearly hear and see the squeezing movement of the ice, the flow of the breeze in the cave, and the slight trembling of white flowers in the distance.
This feeling is very strange, like a person on a high platform, but his ears, eyes and hands are flying out to listen, touch and observe everything in the world. This kind of observation is meticulous from the outside to the inside, and even the shallow cracks in the ice layer and the fine texture under the white flower skin can be seen at a glance.
Wu Gen experienced this feeling that he had never experienced before and looked around, like a child who had just opened his eyes, ignorant of novelty but cautiously observing the unfamiliar world.
"What, isn't it amazing?" came Mu's voice, "It turns out the world can still be seen like this."
Wu Gen looked at his hand and turned it gently, "Could this be divine consciousness?"
"Yes, it seems you are not that stupid. Think about it, it was such an emergency just now, and the big fluttering moth could not save you. It is really a rare opportunity for you to pick up a big treasure. By the way, I advise you to do that thing It's best to take it, it's very useful for practicing the soul path." Mu pointed her nose at the bird's nest on the high platform.
"What the hell is that?" Wu Gen was still frightened.
"That's the spiritual residence." The slender slave's voice sounded in his mind. Wu Gen sank his mind into the space, and Mu followed.
"Spiritual residence is a kind of soul weapon in ancient times. It can allow spiritual bodies to stay in it for a long time, and it can also attract and detain spiritual bodies." The slender-waisted slave explained.
"What is a spirit body?" Wu Gen was a little confused.
The slender-waisted slave paused for a moment, seemed to be organizing his words, and said slowly: "Spirit bodies can be understood as existences that are transcended from matter. Most things in the world are tangible and qualitative. Even the human soul must be attached to the human body in order to survive for a long time. live.
But the spirit body is different. It is tangible and intangible, but it can live in the world for a long time. Contrary to ordinary things, when the spirit body is weak, it is difficult to touch, but when it is stronger, it can turn the void into reality and become a material thing. For example, there are rumors in the world about the theory of essence transforming into form, which is about the spirit body.
In ancient times, some people once explored the origin of spiritual bodies. It is said that they were a creature derived from Taishi when the heaven and earth evolved. There is another way of saying that the spirit body does not belong to this world, but was born in an alien space. It just came to this world by chance. It is often said that there are demons in the world, but in fact they are mostly caused by spirits. "
Wu Gen took a breath of air. What was the intention of the people who died in this cave, who worked so hard to create such a large space and placed their spiritual residences here. What are these ubiquitous filaments? Could it be that these people summoned some incredible monsters.
Seemingly sensing Wu Gen's thoughts, the slender slave continued: "It doesn't matter what the spirit body is like. In fact, after thousands of years of evolution, the spirit body has merged with the real world, and many weird things have evolved. You can see them often. For example, this big nose." The slender-waisted slave pointed at Mu with his wings, "It initially has form and substance, but when it grows older, it will become invisible."
Mujiang's nose danced like a windmill, "Big moth, you are the monster, and you have the nerve to accuse me, then you are
What kind of existence. "
Wu Gen suddenly realized that if we talk about spiritual bodies, isn't this slender-waisted slave one of them? It's just that he has become accustomed to its existence, but he has the problem of being dark under the lamp.
After looking at the Soul Residence, he wondered: "Why did I have the urge to take it as my own when I saw this thing just now? What do these people want to do with the Soul Residence?"
The slender-waisted slave sighed: "There used to be a soul-eating method in the soul art. As the name suggests, it is to swallow other people's souls to strengthen one's body. This spiritual residence is a magic weapon to restrain souls. However, although the soul-eating method can be practiced quickly, it has disadvantages. Many soul masters who practice this way often encounter bad luck in their later years, so try not to touch this way.
But then again, the spiritual residence does have the ability to warm and nourish spiritual bodies, just like bees and butterflies smelling the fragrance of honey, it often attracts some spiritual bodies to come closer. The soul that leaves the body also belongs to the spirit body, so of course it is close to it. The soul master then used the spiritual residence to capture some wandering souls for cultivation. ..
The people here use the spiritual residence. One of them may be to lure people here to practice soul skills, and the other may be to practice some kind of method. It is like integrating many people's thoughts into one, and the spiritual residence is the center. It's just that he may have provoked some terrible beings, and they all died here. As for what exists, you might as well ask this big nose, he should be good at this. "
Mu was rare and reserved, "Big Moth is right, these people may have summoned some kind of monster and used this monster to practice their skills, but they just played with fire and killed themselves. As for the monster, after all, I You're still young and can't tell the difference for a moment. But if you can get this kind of spiritual residence, you will have a way to deal with it if you encounter any powerful spiritual body."
Recalling the terrifying scene just now, Wu Gen felt a little worried, "I do want it, but this thing is too evil. With the soul crystal here, wouldn't this spiritual residence be worthless?"
The slender-waisted slave said calmly: "It doesn't matter, put the soul crystal in it, and I will seal some of its power. After all, the soul crystal has limited warming and nourishing effects, and it is more about absorbing the person's soul. Bianlingju is suitable for most souls. It can be applied to any body, and there are more ways to attack.”
Wu Gen was convinced that there was such a good thing. Gently place the black soul crystal into the spiritual residence. Once inside the nest, the soul crystal floats in the air, emitting a light blue light, illuminating the interior of the spiritual residence.
The dim light was not strong, but it penetrated the inner wall of the spiritual residence, making the wrinkled outer wall seem to be coated with a layer of blue glaze.
Feeling the signal from the slender-waisted slave, Wu Gen carefully picked up the spiritual residence. He felt a little dizzy, but it was nothing serious. Moreover, an indescribable sense of comfort came to him, like a breeze and a stream, gently washing away his soul. carefree.
After looking around, there was nothing else to search for. Wu Gen turned around and walked out of the cave. He just chopped some of the white flowers and put them into his arms, which earned him a teasing from Mu.
When he was about to leave the cave, Wu Gen turned around and took a look. There were still so many unknown things in the world. He secretly felt that sooner or later he would meet the being in the spiritual dwelling again.
