Although Qin Bukong is recovering well, he still has a cough and cannot exercise too strenuously. So we walked through this tunnel countless times, and he rested several times along the way. I think it was because of the chest opening that the root was damaged, and it was really difficult to recover. After reaching the center of the array, Qin Bukong took out the wax-skinned ball and asked me to peel it off. However, when I peeled it off, I discovered that the ball was originally dark green, but it was shining rhythmically, as if The firefly I caught when I was a child, but the rhythm of its flashing was not that great. If it were not so useful, I would really have kept it as a treasure.
Qin Bukong put the round beads into the stone bricks and stuffed them back into the beads. We were all waiting for the most exciting moment, but the stone pillar at the center of the array did not respond for a long time, which made me a little confused. Qin Bukong also had a sad look on his face, wondering if we had done something wrong in that link? At this time, Songzi asked, could it be because we didn’t classify those Vajra Prongs? Then we suddenly realized it. I quickly climbed into Qin Bukong's house and took back all the Vajra Prongs we used in the next few levels, and then inserted these Vajra Prongs according to the corresponding distribution of each Qimen. When the last one was inserted, the stone pillar began to rumble and vibrate. Song Zi was so frightened that she immediately grabbed my sleeve, causing me to shake my hand several times but couldn't get rid of it.
This is not an underground mechanism, and the core stone pillar will not cause our underground cave to collapse due to such vibrations. Instead, it will peel off bit by bit with gentle vibrations. The whole process lasted for about ten minutes. We I found that this round stone pillar was actually hollow. When I inserted the first stone brick, I looked through the hole and had such a guess. And when the rubble collapsed, the entire Eight Gate Formation was covered with dust, and we all had to cover our mouths with our own clothes. When the dust cleared, we discovered that a small platform like a seat was carved in the middle of the hollow of the stone pillar. The platform was generally cylindrical, with the handle of a sword exposed on the front. The cylindrical platform is divided into two layers. The first layer has three slightly larger metal bottles arranged in a triangle at equal distances. The bottles are usually embedded in the cylinder, just like inlaid gems. The mouth of the bottle is coated with a thick layer of black wax, just like the wax-skinned beads I found in a short time.
The second layer is also inlaid with seven bottles at equal distances in a circle, but the texture of these bottles is ceramic, and they are smaller than the three above.
Generally speaking, it is a cylinder with a total of ten bottles inlaid on it, and a sword inserted on the top. I believe that this sword and the scabbard I found at "Kui" should come from the same sword. However, it is probably impossible to verify whether this sword is the legendary Chunyang sword. And these three big and seven small are bottles. If you guessed correctly, they should contain the three souls and seven souls. These are all soul bottles. This means that the ten bottles in front of you contain the soul of the Witch King who fought against Lu Dongbin a thousand years ago.
I don't know if it was my imagination, but when I shined the light of the flashlight on the sword inserted into the stone, I found that there was a single halo of light on it. Qin Bukong and Songzi both felt helpless at the scene before them. Qin Bukong said that when he first searched for the soul of the Witch King, he planned to find a way to make himself stronger and at the same time avoid the Witch King from reappearing. , a danger that harms the common people. But this journey has been extremely thrilling. I am afraid that I will never be able to control this soul again, and the soul bottle is still intact. After all our troubles, it is no longer safe to stay here.
Qin Bukong turned his head and glanced at me, then at Songzi. Song Zi also stared blankly at the soul of the Witch King in front of him, but his expression was a little sad. He was probably thinking that we worked so hard and worked so hard, but in the end, we found that we didn't know what to do. Qin Bukong said to Songzi, why did you secretly come to find this soul in the first place? Can you tell me your original intention again?
Songzi did not turn his head, but said softly, I am afraid to stay here for a long time, because peace and quiet are rare due to development and construction. Moreover, very few people in the world know about this thing, so it doesn’t matter. If someone excavates it in the future, releases it unintentionally and breaks the seal, it will probably cause harm to one party. So what I thought at that time was to gather the strength of the masters, find this thing, and then take it back to Yunsheng Palace, and let the master find a place to place the seal, and even let the seal remain unsolved forever, so as to prevent a major disaster.
Qin Bukong suddenly sighed and said, do you still have such thoughts now? Songzi was stunned and asked, what do you think? Qin Bukong said that he would keep it in the mountain view and place it properly to ensure peace. Songzi nodded, but hesitated a little, so he looked at me and stammered to Qin Bukong, "Senior Qin, didn't we agree to let you handle this by yourself?" I'm just here to help, and to open my eyes and gain insights. Qin Bukong also shook his head and said, I have no ability anymore. After all, it was not me who broke through this Qisha Pass, but this kid.
After saying that, he pointed at me, and I was stunned, because my attitude on this matter was actually more biased towards Songzi, because I only participated in it to fulfill my promise to Master, and later it became like I was addicted. I am getting more and more curious, but in fact I just want to hone my skills and gain experience. If you want to ask me if I have any interest in the soul of the Witch King, I really have no interest in it, although I know that if the soul of the Witch King is integrated with myself through some kind of magic, then my abilities will be strengthened. A hundred times as much, but I am not a competitive person, and I have no interest in dominating this industry. Besides, although the hand seals are divided into high and low, virtue cannot be accumulated overnight. Even today, because of the strong soul of the Witch King, I After passing everyone, in terms of morality and conduct, I am still just a fledgling brat.
So I quickly said, I have no objection. It is enough for me to see this thing once in my life. At least I know that my ability is enough to crack it. This is already a huge gain for me. How to deal with this thing? , it’s all up to you, I don’t have the slightest say.
Qin Bukong was silent for a moment, then walked to the edge of the column seat, reached out and touched the blade and bottle that had been rusted and oxidized to varying degrees due to exposure to the air, then knelt down facing the column and respectfully Kowtowed three times.
This was the first time I saw Qin Bukong kneeling on the ground, and it was also the only time in my life. Every time Qin Bukong raised his head after kowtow, he would put his hands together on the tip of his nose. It seemed that this was a unique way of worship for the Miao family, and Qin Bukong himself was a Miao witch. , maybe he will fall into eternal disaster. Just like the thousand-year-old witch king in front of him, and this witch king is also the ancestor of Qin Bukong, three rings of his head is not an exaggeration. And if Qin Bukong could absorb these souls, it would not only be enough to shock the entire industry, but it might even heal the injuries in his body.
So I told Qin Bukong my suggestion, but Qin Bukong seemed to have made a decision after three rings. He said to Songzi, since you haven't changed your mind yet, let me decide. For this thing, I hope that anyone you meet from now on will mention the process of finding it. The person who deserves the greatest credit for this is my incompetent disciple.
At this point, Qin Bukong patted me on the shoulder. Although his words were useless, his tone was full of pride. Songzi nodded and agreed, because he was also involved in the whole process, and he also knew that although everyone was contributing, I played a more critical role in this matter. I also understand the reason why Qin Bukong said this to Songzi. He wanted to establish my reputation in the world with the help of an ironclad fact. Due to the age, our industry has become unprecedentedly low-key in recent years. , and sooner or later this turbulent atmosphere will pass with time. When that day comes, there will be many people in our industry who have risen through the years relying on their craftsmanship. Qin Bukong hopes that my story will be spread out to ensure my status in the industry.
This is probably the same reason that Master Lin Qishan said, "After completing this matter, I will become a master."
Songzi nodded, and Qin Bukong continued, "Secondly, I ask you and your disciples to properly place this soul. I will hand it over to you along with everything I find. I also hope that you can make rapid progress with the help of this matter." Stop being such a fool.
Qin Bukong's implicit intention was to transfer the soul of the Witch King to Songzi and his disciples. This is also because Songzi's actions in the past few days have indeed proved his sincerity and won our trust. Although I still feel a little pity for Qin Bukong, since he has already decided, and it is such a difficult decision, I still agree, and I am also happy for Songzi.
Songzi obviously did not expect that Qin Bukong would simply transfer the soul of the Demon Witch King to him. He was very excited. I also smiled and said to him, since Qin Bukong trusts you and your disciple so much, you Don't let him down. I am the person who has broken through the Qisha Pass. If you fail him in the future, I, named Situ, will come to sweep Yunsheng Palace!
Everyone laughed, and a difficult problem that seemed difficult to solve was solved in a joke.
