"No, no, no!"
With a smile on his face, Wei Yixian raised his hand and gently pushed the dagger aside, saying: "I have no magic power here, and I can't open the storage ring. Do you think I can carry anything besides a broken baggage? Even if what I'm looking for is really behind, it's just a guess..."
"Hmph!" Taoist Ding Xian took back his sword and said with a cold snort, "Now that we have met, there is no need to play any more tricks! Since everyone came in together, any treasures found must be divided equally! Anyway, we are poor. The task that Dao received was to escort you in. Now that the task has been completed, if you are not honest, Pindao will kill you, and it will not be considered a violation of the oath he made when receiving the task!"
"No, no, no, no, I'm also anxious to complete the task!" Wei Yixian said, "In this cave city, these three halls are the center among the centers! If you get something later, you can take it for yourself, just don't touch it Just ban it! All I'm looking for is a jade plate, and I don't want anything else."
"Is this true?" Ding Xian asked with a frown.
"Take it seriously, it's more real than real gold." Wei Yixian seemed not to want to delay, he smiled and walked towards the path next to the second level palace, "Everyone, follow me!"
Qu Wuming and the others followed Wei Yixian to the door of the third level palace. They saw that the third level palace was more than five feet high. The foundation below the palace seemed to be a whole piece of warm and flawless sapphire. It is more than one foot tall and dozens of feet square!
The stone steps are carved directly from the sapphire, and each step is also carved with exquisite patterns. Climbing up the stairs, there seemed to be a slight sense of coolness flowing into his body from his feet. Faintly, Qu Wuming even had the illusion that his magic power was gradually recovering - if not, then it was possible that his sleeping Nascent Soul was Being nourished by some magical power.
Qu Wuming guessed that if this piece of sapphire foundation could be moved outside, just by sitting cross-legged and meditating on it every day, it would be possible for the cultivation level to gradually increase.
When everyone walked up the stone steps to the platform in front of the hall, they were still more than two feet away from the main entrance of the hall.
At this time, Wei Yixian was seen calmly walking to the front and sitting down cross-legged, and then took out a palm-sized puppet from his arms.
The puppet was extremely crude and crude, just like a toy that a farmer used to make random toys for a three- to five-year-old child using dry firewood and straw sticks. However, Wei Yixian held the puppet in his arms solemnly and carefully, bit the tip of his tongue, and drew the facial features on the puppet's head with the blood from his fingertips.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Yixian muttered something, took out a talisman from his arms, and placed it in the puppet's hand. The palm-sized puppet is holding a huge talisman, like a man holding a big flag with his bare hands, which looks extremely uncoordinated.
Qu Wuming and the other three listened to Wei Yixian chanting a mantra in a low voice. After a while, they heard that the mantra seemed to be exactly the same as the language used by the Chen family brothers before - it turned out to be the language used by the ancient witchcraft!
The few breaths passed quickly. As the spells in Wei Yixian's mouth became faster and faster, the body of the puppet slowly began to vibrate in response to Wei Yixian's spells...
Wei Yixian gently raised his bleeding finger and tapped a "red mole" between the puppet's eyebrows.
The puppet stopped trembling immediately, and then moved its hands and feet and "alive" it! But Wei Yixian lowered his arms at the same moment, lowered his head suddenly, and sat there motionless, as if he had fallen asleep just sitting there.
I saw the little puppet dragging the talisman with one hand, jumping out of Wei Yixian's hand, and then limping straight to the main entrance of the hall.
I don’t know what method Wei Yixian used, but the little puppet became flatter and more unreal as it walked, and finally became thinner than paper and lighter than smoke, and quietly slipped in through the crack of the hall door.
But Wei Yixian was still sitting there, eyes closed, motionless.
Qu Wuming watched all this from the side, knowing that Wei Yixian's consciousness seemed to have followed the puppet into the hall, and couldn't help but secretly admire this method.
Everyone didn't wait long, and the main door of the hall quietly opened.
A life-sized puppet poked its head out from behind the door, and then walked towards Wei Yixian in a twisting and turning manner.
As he walked, his body became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into the original puppet, jumped up, and got into Wei Yixian's robe.
Wei Yixian opened his eyes at this moment, smiled at Qu Wuming and others, stood up and made a gesture of invitation, and then took the lead to walk into the hall.
This hall looks very tall from the outside, but when you walk inside, you realize that the space inside is even more amazing, as if there is a starry sky hidden inside!
Qu Wuming and others looked up in surprise, and what they saw was a vast sea of stars - countless stars all over the sky, some as bright as torches, some as dark and without light, accompanied by double stars and surrounding each other. , there are also those surrounded by planets and stars holding the sun, some hidden in nebulae half-covering their faces, and some broken into pieces and swallowed by some kind of black hole... Some stars are vaguely connected by lines, which seem to be A celestial constellation map is like the coordinates guiding the way in the starry sky.
The road under everyone's feet also seemed real and illusory. It actually seemed like a suspended covered bridge extending from the entrance of the hall into the void. Looking to both sides, there were endless stars even under their feet.
This covered bridge is about two feet wide and looks like it is made of a whole piece of crystal. Walking on it feels like walking in the void of the universe. More than ten feet away, there is a circular platform with a radius of about five feet. Looking from a distance, there seems to be a figure in the middle of the platform, sitting motionless behind a control console.
Wei Yixian whispered: "I checked just now, and there seems to be no defensive restrictions on the passage. I am afraid that the core defensive restrictions in this cave city have long since expired. Only some houses, puppets, etc. with independent energy sources still have some residual energy. , but now it basically doesn’t pose much of a threat.”
Taoist Ding Xian snorted coldly and said: "What you said is easy. There are only four of us left in the team now, and you still say there is not much of a threat? If they can survive, they will definitely follow. You theorize!”
Wei Yixian laughed and did not refute, but continued to walk towards the circular platform in front.
When everyone came to the platform, they could see clearly what was in the middle.
In the middle of the platform is a golden seat that is more than half a person tall. It is firmly fixed on the platform. The bottom of the seat is connected to a semicircular console in front of it. Looking up at the console, in addition to some control levers and buttons, there is also a huge long curved screen.
Sitting on the seat behind the console was a dark, thin mummy.
The mummy wears a golden headband-like thing on its head, with a round thin piece on each end, which is firmly attached to the temple of the mummy.
The mummy was dressed in a gilt Taoist robe, and there was a dark mark on the chest, which seemed to be the mark left after the blood dried. Under the Taoist robe, some different colors were vaguely exposed, as if it was sitting on a jade cushion.
"That person should be the owner of Dongweicheng, right?" Tong Xiangyu asked in a low voice.
"Maybe." Qu Wuming cautiously came to the console and looked at the buttons on it.
"Except for a mummy, there's not even a storage place here. What a damn bad luck!" Taoist Ding Xian became a little irritable for some reason, "Wei Yixian, isn't this mummy the treasure you are looking for? What if? If so, you can carry it yourself, I won’t help you move it!”
As he spoke, Taoist Ding Xian looked closely at the mummy. From time to time, he gently touched the mummy's robe with the dagger in his hand, trying to see if there was anything else hidden on him. Then, he lifted up the hanging arm robe of the mummy. Xiu looked at it and saw the ring on the finger of the mummy.
"Is it a storage ring?" Ding Xian was a little unsure, but he still reached out and took off the ring.
At this moment, Ding Xian felt that the waist and abdomen of the mummy seemed to be a little bulging, as if there was something in his arms. He felt happy and hurriedly reached out and grabbed it out.
"Huh?" Ding Xian saw that he was holding a dark green brocade bag in his hand. It was bulging and not heavy, and he didn't know what it contained. "As I said before, whoever finds it belongs to whoever finds it." Taoist Ding Xian straightened up and looked back at Wei Yixian and others, put the kit into his arms, then pushed the mummy aside and looked towards the mummy seat.
"What you are looking for is a jade plate? Come here and see if it's this one?" Ding Xian waved and looked back at Wei Yixian again, only to see Wei Yixian retreating nervously.
"What's wrong?"
Ding Xian was stunned when he saw this, and quickly followed Wei Yixian's gaze, only to see that the mummy that had been pushed to the ground had changed at this moment...
The body of the mummy changed extremely quickly. When he pushed it down, it was still dark and thin. Now, somehow, the muscles all over the body have become bulging. The skin is still dark, but has a metallic luster. Long silver hairs grew out of the pores all over his body, like silver needles, and the roots were shiny.
Just as he was breathing, four big bags bulged out from the back of the mummy, and then suddenly split open, tearing the golden robe instantly, and two pairs of black wings sprouted out with a bang! One pair is large, and the other is small. The small one is as thin as cicada wings, almost transparent, while the large one is a pair of bone wings covered with black scales, shining brightly against the starry sky.
Ding Xian was stunned when the mummy opened its eyes and turned to look at him!
I saw that the face of the mummy had become extremely ferocious at this time. In the dry eye sockets, there was a pair of pure black eyes like dead fish, big and lifeless, and a big mouth that grinned almost to the temples. It opened slightly, revealing A mouth full of sharp fangs! Ding Xian was so frightened that he took a breath of air and took two steps back.
"Do it while he's still alive!" Qu Wuming was not far away at the moment, and when he saw this, he shouted a reminder.
Taoist Ding Xian was not a good person. When he saw that the mutated corpse was staring at him, he knew it was impossible to escape. He stepped forward and slashed at the neck of the mummy with his sword!
Although Ding Xian was already fast enough, the movements of the mummy were not slow at all!
I saw the four wings on the back of the mummy suddenly flapped, and its limbs stretched on the ground. A gust of wind surged out, and it suddenly rushed out for more than two feet. Then it turned around, raised its head, and lay on the ground and shouted ferociously at Ding Xian. The ground roars!
