He fell from above, and half of the black rock above was broken. There were a lot of thorns and weeds on the remaining half near the mountain, but he couldn't reach there. What to do?
The upper rock mass is only one-third as big as the lower one, and the distance between it is three to four feet. According to his current state, he can barely jump up, but his strength is limited after all, and he cannot guarantee whether he will fall to Xuanya. The gain outweighs the loss.
And he also found that the rock above was thinner than the rock below, otherwise it would not break due to being unable to bear his weight.
After the impact, the black rock above should have been damaged. If hit a few more times, it might actually break.
Zhou Yang took out his long sword and jumped up. The long sword hit the black rock above with a clang. Sparks flew everywhere, but the black rock did not move, only some stone chips fell down.
Stab again, stab again, he stabbed dozens of swords in a row, and finally there was movement. There was a familiar squeaking sound from above. Hearing this sound, Zhou Yang felt chilled all over. This sound was something he would never forget, and he still has lingering fears in his heart.
Seeing that it was effective, Zhou Yang sped up his movements, striking one sword after another. Finally, the black rock above could no longer withstand the continuous thrusts and collapsed with a loud bang.
At the moment of collapse, Zhou Yang ducked to the entrance of the cave, fearing that the black rock below would not be able to withstand the impact and break again. Fortunately, the black rock was thick and did not break. Several black rocks of different sizes fell below, and the weeds, thorns, etc. in the rocks also rolled down.
After all the stones fell, Zhou Yang picked up the weeds and thorns one by one. To get such a small thing, the amount of spiritual energy consumed would be enough to cause a fight. If this kind of practice were done normally, it would definitely become a laughing stock.
After reluctantly making a torch, Zhou Yang returned to the cave.
While walking, he did not light the torch, but to save some for use when he got to the cave.
He found two giant black rocks based on his memory. He took out the firebird, plucked the feathers, and pierced the thorns into the bird's flesh, and then used fire magic to ignite it. Bird meat contains some oil stars, which can make the torch burn longer.
Zhou Yang held a torch in one hand and a long sword in the other, and walked slowly into the cave.
It is indeed difficult to use spiritual sense to explore the cave, so using a torch is the best option. He felt that the inside of the cave was much wider than the passage outside, about thirty-four to five feet deep and five to six feet wide. There were obvious marks left by swords on the four walls, which must have been dug.
He held the torch and carefully checked to confirm that there was no one in the cave and there were no bones.
In the middle of the cave, there are stone tables and benches, and there are ashes around them. The stone table was covered with a thick layer of dust, indicating that no one had been there for many years.
I don’t know which era the predecessors dug the cave, and why they spent so much time here.
Zhou Yang had the experience of discovering the key to alchemy. After a quick glance, he held up a torch and carefully explored the four walls.
"There is no writing and nothing useful left. Is it just a temporary cave? In this case, the senior may have fallen off the cliff like me and found this place." Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"But since there is no hope of leaving, it would be good to use this cave as a place to live. At least it is much better than the fire place." With this idea, Zhou Yang sat down on the stone bench and casually put his long sword on it. On the stone table.
There was so much dust that it started flying everywhere as soon as he sat down, making him cough.
"Bah, bah, how thick the dust is!" Zhou Yang sighed twice, covering his mouth and nose with one hand, and wiped the stone table and bench with his other hand a few times with his sleeve, brushing away the dust. , and then sat down again.
If you can't get out for the time being, then come back and be safe.
Zhou Yang took out a jug of wine from his storage bag, drank a few mouth-to-mouth sips, and then placed the jug on the stone table, quite bored.
A few drops of wine from the spout of the wine pot fell on the stone table, and the stone table immediately changed. The color of the area where the wine had been invaded changed from black to green.
Zhou Yang didn't notice this and was drinking wine and thinking about some random things.
More and more wine dripped from the spout, and the green part on the stone table became larger and larger, and writing gradually appeared.
When the jug was dry, he picked it up, shook it, and then threw it casually on the stone table. There was a crisp sound, the sound of gold and iron striking.
"This sound..." Zhou Yang was a little surprised, so he raised the torch and looked at the stone table.
"There is a word!" He couldn't help but exclaimed.
There are dozens of vague words in the blue part on the stone table, some of which cannot be connected to complete sentences.
He wiped it with his hand, and the handwriting became clearer: "A thousand cups of wine are too little to meet a close friend, and in this life and past life..." When the words came again, the words behind them were gone, leaving only the black tabletop.
Zhou Yang's head was full of black lines, and the same was true for the key points of alchemy before. How come the ancients were so good at this!
However, he also felt the difference between green and black. Only the blue part showed the writing, and there was obviously alcohol in this part.
"Could it be..." With a guess in his mind, he took out another bottle of wine and poured it on other parts of the stone table. Sure enough, another part turned blue.
This time the sentence is continued: "When drinking with a close friend, a thousand cups are too little, so what about the past and present lives? If you are destined, you can see the person in the cave, but if you are not destined, you will not know the person on the other side."
It’s actually four jingles!
There were densely packed small characters behind the jingle, and Zhou Yang looked at it carefully by the firelight.
After reading the first sentence, his eyes widened and his expression was a little dull, but after reading it, he was a little excited and even speechless.
"I am not yet a month old. I was hunted by the Holy Cult. Fortunately, I survived the fall and accidentally encountered the earth's fire and magma..." The entire process of the senior's arrival was recorded on the stone table.
What made Zhou Yang sluggish was the first sentence, "It's not even a month yet." When he was knocked down, it was already winter in November, and it was exactly the same time as this person was hunted down, but I don't know how many years had passed.
This is too much of a coincidence!
The general idea behind it is: I am a weapon refining master. The reason why his achievements in weapon refining have not been high is because he was unwilling to learn weapon refining. However, after joining the sect, he was forcibly assigned to the alchemy room. First, he was an assistant. Refining weapons, and later became a low-level weapon refining master.
He has two major hobbies, one is good wine, and the other is obsessed with body training. His purpose in joining the master's school was not only to practice Taoism, but also to train his body.
Because he was weak since he was a child and was often bullied by others, he always wanted to build himself into a body of copper and iron that would be hard to be damaged by swords, so he pursued the method of body refining.
Because of these two hobbies, he was often scolded by the elders of the sect.
One time when he was out on business, he came across an excellent body-refining secret book called "Earth Fire Tempering Technique". He was overjoyed, as if he had found a treasure, and planned to study it carefully when he returned to the sect.
However, there is a prerequisite for this technique, which is to be tempered in earth fire magma. If you have a fire attribute physique, it is more suitable for this secret technique.
The Earth Fire Body Tempering Technique is divided into five levels, and fire attribute cultivators can practice it to perfection. Those with non-fire physiques can only reach the third level. Even if it's the third level, that's amazing.
After the first level is refined, it can pass through the earth's fire without being hurt. The body is tempered like a rock, and it can be hit with a blunt iron object without hurting the body.
After the second level is refined, it can be put into lava without being hurt, and the sword will not hurt its body, and low-grade magic weapons will hardly kill it.
After the third level is refined, it will feel like walking on flat ground when entering the depths of the magma. Low-grade magical instruments will not damage its body, while medium-grade or even high-grade magical instruments will hardly kill it.
The fourth and fifth levels can only be cultivated with fire attribute physiques. The extent of cultivation is not mentioned in the article, and it is probably very terrifying.
If a person with a non-fire physique forcibly practices the last two levels, the result will be death from body explosion.
There is no earth fire magma near his sect, so he has no chance to practice this secret technique. So he did not return to the sect, but looked for Earth Fire everywhere, but could not find it, so he had to go back in frustration.
Later, when passing through Anping City, the news leaked out for some reason. The higher-ups of the Holy Religion knew that he possessed superior body tempering skills, so they sent men to chase him all the way here. Later, he was knocked down and accidentally landed in the earth fire magma.
In the end, he was a blessing in disguise, using the earth fire magma here to start practicing the earth fire body tempering technique.
He spent three and a half months on the first stage, a year on the second stage, and a full ten years on the third stage. Unfortunately, he does not have a fire physique, so he has no chance to practice the latter two levels.
The article also said that after cultivating to the second level, you can find a way out of the mountain.
The final signature was Yang Zhao.
The whole article ends here, but it just tells a story, not telling where the road is, nor where the earth fire body tempering technique is. So Zhou Yang was speechless after reading it, thinking to himself that this is not making people happy.
However, this text also subverted his view of the ancients. When he previously obtained the key to the alchemy, he did not leave any clues about the author, so he believed that the ancients liked to do good deeds without leaving their name.
But this person not only left his name, but also talked a lot about the causes and consequences, but not a single useful word. If it weren't for the ancient inscriptions on the stone table, he would have thought that Yang Da's weapon refiner was a contemporary person.
Zhou Yang was unwilling to give in and searched the cave carefully with a torch.
He searched every corner, including stone tables, stone benches, stone walls, and even the stone floor, but still found nothing.
He sat down slumped, grabbed a bottle of wine, and started drinking.
The torch was about to be extinguished and he was doomed to live in darkness from now on. Zhou Yang was very depressed.
Taking another sip of wine and staring at the flask in his hand, he suddenly felt something in his heart: "Destined people, not destined people... Regardless of ancient and modern times, we fell into the same year and the same month, and we are both good at wine, and we are still hunted down because we have treasures." , if the Holy Religion he is talking about is the Three Saints Religion, then we are really sharing the same fate. With so many coincidences, this should be considered an unlucky fate, but what else is wrong?"
"Wine! There is also wine. Senior Yang Zhao loves wine as much as his life. It's so rare that he didn't have any wine on him after he fell to Xuan Ya. He is so greedy. Is he going crazy because of drinking?"
Zhou Yang is a good drinker, but he couldn't afford it when he was poor, but since he earned some spiritual stones from his business, he more or less always carries alcohol with him. Especially after buying a storage bag, it is more convenient to carry wine. With the spirit stone, he could not eat without wine, and Tie Hu was led astray by him.
If wine is a must, this won't be a problem.
