Seeing Qian Chao's eyes shining, he carefully picked up the remaining forearm of the sword beetle from the pile of powdery remains on the ground. He first blew the remnants on it, and then took out a thin piece of linen cloth. After wiping it, Luo Ying knew that the thing was at least good for Mr. Qian.
Luo Ying went over to take a look at the thing. The remnant arm of the sword beetle in Qian Chao's hand was almost made of hard jade, but it looked like a sharp long knife with serrations. Naturally, she didn't understand. The person who practiced weapon refining asked:
"What is this for?"
"This is the best weapon refining material!"
Qian Chao said excitedly. He didn't understand the art of controlling spirits. He didn't know that the power of this sword beetle was in the two forearms like big folding knives in front of him, but the jade sword beetle in his hand was In his opinion, the beast forearm is definitely an excellent weapon refining material, especially since it has remained immortal after countless years. This shows how rare this thing is. Qian Chao even thinks that if this thing is properly refined, it will be better than what he has now. The most lethal "eight-foot peck" is even better.
Tang Ping, on the other hand, searched in the powder-like wreckage, wondering if she could find the demon elixirs of the two sword beetles inside, but was disappointed.
"Miss Tang."
Li Jian called her from the side.
"Oh, Brother Li."
"look here."
As Li Jian spoke, he pointed with his hand. There was an inconspicuous black object in a corner of the stone hall. Tang Ping saw that Li Jian specifically asked her to look at it, so she walked over curiously. The object looked like It was a broken drum, but it was pitch black, with mottled surfaces and countless tiny bulges.
"This thing..." Tang Ping flipped through the classics she had read before in her mind, and quickly recognized it, "It's the egg of a sword beetle!"
It is recorded in the classics that this sword beetle lays countless eggs at one time, and the many eggs are gathered together like this. It is also recorded that if its eggs are not born at the right time, they will enter a sleep like suspended animation. If there are still alive eggs in them, ...But my heart immediately cooled down as soon as I felt hot. The corpses of the two sword beetles next to them were turned into powder. After such a long time, even if they were eggs laid by the sword beetles, they would have died long ago. Egg.
Li Jian smiled softly when he saw Tang Ping's expression and said:
"Miss Tang, in my opinion, most of these eggs are dead eggs..."
Li Jian used the word "mostly", Tang Ping immediately woke up, looked at Li Jian with surprise, and asked:
"Is there anyone alive?"
"Yes, but not much. It's at the innermost part of this thing, and it's also dying. If Miss Tang is interested..."
"Of course I'm interested!" Tang Ping twisted and squatted down, "That's great, if we can really hatch it..."
Then Tang Ping carefully collected all the black things, preparing to return to the sect and wait for her master to return, asking her old man for help to see if a small sword mantis beast could be hatched from it, even if No matter if it was one, as long as it was alive, she was sure to train it to be her right-hand man. After all, the little guy here had survived so many years without dying, and had such strong vitality, it must be a rare alien species. .
…
After the stone wall fell, the stone hall that everyone was in became much larger, and there were no more formations. It seemed that this stone hall was specially designed for these two sword mantis beasts to guard the treasures inside. There is a small door in the corner of the stone hall. Going in from there is the real treasure of this ruins.
There is a vast space inside. Under the light of Qianchao's luminous talisman, there are rows of shelves. It looks like there are a lot of things. There are storage bags and boxes of various sizes. At this scene, Luo Ying and others became excited again, thinking that they would definitely be able to find the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp, so they were eager to open it one by one and search for it.
The result was another disappointment.
The things found can be roughly divided into four categories. The first category is various books, which were directly given to Qian Chao to keep; the first category is spiritual stones, which will be divided among everyone in the end, so they are all kept together; the third category is spiritual stones. Categories are all kinds of spiritual weapons and magic weapons. Most of Luo Ying and others didn't care about them, and gave Qian Chao to keep them first. The last and largest number were various materials for refining weapons. Needless to say, naturally The money rush.
After searching around, they found a lot of strange and strange things, but there was no Mozun Jade Fat Lamp that Luo Ying and others had been looking for, which made them very disappointed.
After the spiritual stones were divided equally, Qian Chao saw that several people looked a little gloomy and were not as happy as himself, so he selected from the pile of spiritual weapons and magic weapons, and selected a few high-quality magic swords to place. He came to Luo Ying and said:
"Senior Sister Luo, since we haven't found it, it means that the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp is still waiting for us. Let's just continue searching tomorrow. It's not like we won't gain anything here. Hey, these magic swords are all made of The ones that can be used after the foundation are the best ones that I selected from those. I might as well keep them for now, as they can be used for foundation building in the future."
"Okay, let me lend you some good words!"
Luo Ying said, picking up a magical sword and looking at it.
…
In the next three days, ten people opened two more ruins in succession, which was a great harvest for Qian Chao and the other five. Not to mention anything else, the spiritual stones obtained were already worth a lot to ordinary disciples in the sect. A huge amount of wealth was obtained, but the only thing that could not be found was the jade fat lamp. Therefore, the other five people, especially Luo Ying, have been feeling depressed.
One night, Luo Ying circled a location on the map, which was where they were going next. Qian Chao looked at that place and found that it was a bit far away from the sect. According to his knowledge of the outsiders of the sect, , knowing that it should be a more dangerous place, but since there are more people here, I am not afraid.
So after dawn, the ten people continued to travel separately. This time the journey was a bit far, and it took more than a full day. They arrived there near midnight that day.
Originally, it was customary to search first. Although those who followed had suffered a loss in the past, who knew whether those people would continue to follow, so it was better to be cautious. However, when everyone was surrounding the ruins, When searching carefully, Li Jian always had a vague feeling of uneasiness.
Of course, only Li Jian felt this uneasy feeling.
Afterwards, everyone gathered together again. No one else found anything unusual, but they felt that this ruins always had an uneasy feeling.
"I felt like something wasn't right there."
After reuniting, Li Jian said.
"Oh, did Junior Brother Li discover that someone is ambushing us again?" Luo Ying asked immediately. She also always felt that the ruins here were a little more disturbing than those she had found before.
"No, not a monk, but...the closer I get to the ruins, the more dangerous I feel. It shouldn't be those people before, but there seems to be something there that was watching us just now, as if waiting for us to pass..."
Luo Ying frowned after hearing this, looked at Qian Chao and the other five people and asked inquiringly:
"I got this relic from someone else. It is said that it has not been opened for many years. I have never been here myself. I don't know what the situation is like there. If it is dangerous, I do know that there are relics nearby. Why don’t we start somewhere else first?”
Lu Pingchuan heard that Luo Ying meant to leave here first, so he said nonchalantly:
"Hey, what are you afraid of? We've already come here. After traveling such a long way, we have to figure out what's there. If you ask me, let's go there together. Even if there is some powerful guy, can we still be afraid of it if we do it together?"
Lu Shuang said:
"Young man Lu is right. This place is a bit remote. Although there may be something powerful, let's go there quietly first. Don't rush in. Just take a look. If we are defeated, it's not too late to leave."
After final discussion, everyone was ready to act according to Lu Shuang's words, further investigate the situation, and then make a decision.
The location of the ruins is at the junction of two peaks, facing a not very wide canyon. Along the hills on both sides, inward, where the two peaks rise and where the woods at the foot of the mountains are thickest is where the ruins are. , ten people gathered together to take care of each other this time. They flew not high and fast, and under the cover of the night, they headed towards the ruins cautiously.
Everything was normal at first, and everything was pitch black. But after getting closer, I don’t know when, in this endless midnight night, the five people actually saw something far away from the gaps in the trees. Lights coming from everywhere!
This is strange. The ten of them had searched here earlier, but they didn't see any lights coming from here. How come after a short time, there were lights deep in the forest?
Moreover, it could be seen through the trees that the light was not a bonfire lit by monks who spent the night practicing here, but that it looked like there was a brightly lit and lively large mansion there.
Zongwai has never heard of such a place!
In addition to the sect, the place where people gather is the four surrounding towns headed by Ruixuan Town. When will there be people living here?
All ten people were surprised, but in their respective memories, this scene must not have happened during the search just now.
After looking at each other, the ten people all had bad thoughts. They suppressed the fear and uneasiness in their hearts, and curiously and cautiously continued to move forward to see what happened.
As they continued to fly slowly in the direction of the lights, they discovered that a spacious stone road had appeared below. There were stone lampstands carved from bluestone on both sides of the road. The lights in the lampstands swayed towards the brightest light. extends past.
After continuing forward, looking along the wide and flat stone road to the deepest point, there is a brightly lit manor with swaying figures, which looks very lively.
The bright lights illuminated the mountainside of the two peaks on which the manor rested. It was seen that the manor had no courtyard walls. On both sides of the straight and wide road, rows of houses were neatly arranged, and the rooms were filled with reflections. The bright lights, coupled with the lanterns hanging under the eaves and on high poles, can be seen clearly on the street. People are walking on the road, or stopping to talk, and there are children laughing and chasing each other, and even they I also saw several figures dressed as Five Spirit disciples hanging out together on the street. There were banquets going on in several high-rise buildings facing the street. The sound of laughter came from the buildings. The shadows of the people drinking wine were also reflected on the window paper. The aroma of vegetables and wine also wafted out from there, and they could be smelled together. There is also the fragrance of unknown flowers and plants planted in this manor. And along the neat road all the way in, at the deepest point, at the foot of the two peaks, is an imposing tall building. It is also the tallest building in this brightly lit manor. There are still lights in the building through the window paper. Figures can be seen moving around.
Qian Chao only felt that this place was weird, as if it was a lively town shop like Ruixuan Town. He also saw Wuling disciples walking around inside. It seemed that those Wuling disciples saw Qian Chao and others from a distance. They were so far away. beckoning, what he wanted to do now was to walk into this manor, either to take a closer look or to stop the Five Spirits disciples inside to ask clearly what kind of place this place was.
Luo Ying, Wenyuan, Luo Bin, Yanxuan, Lu Pingchuan and others also had the same idea as Qian Chao. Like Qian Chao, they wanted to enter the manor when they saw the excitement inside.
And these people didn't even realize that they had been under the spell at this time!
Li Jian was the first to notice the danger. He closed his eyes early. When he opened his eyes, he saw a lively scene in front of him, but it was always a bit weird. But after he closed his eyes, Li Jian's perception was that there was a dark and thick fog in front of him, and he didn't know how many flashing strange eyes were looking at this place. It was really on the ground, in the air above his head, and even underground. It was full of dangers. !
However, Li Jian was also affected at this time. The various smells that came with the night wind almost made him feel dizzy, which made him realize that something was wrong.
"Stop!" Seeing Qian Chao and others trying to move forward, Li Jian shouted hurriedly.
But at this time, Qian Chao acted as if he had never heard of it. Not only him, but also several other people. They all watched carefully with their eyes wide open, and headed straight towards the manor with dull curiosity on their faces.
"Stop!" Li Jian shouted again.
Although Yan Shuang was somewhat affected at first, his sword spirit was still there. After being dazed for a while, he came to his senses. Seeing that several people were still moving inward, he hurriedly went over to pull them away.
Tang Ping was able to detect something wrong because of his spiritual beast Dahuang. The golden-haired little monkey's eyes were enough to see through illusions, but Dahuang could only stop Tang Ping alone. When Tang Ping saw something was wrong, she first tried to pull Yanxuan back, but Yanxuan ignored her at all and continued to move forward without stopping.
Only then did Tang Ping realize that Yanxuan's face was already flushed. She just wanted to get rid of her entanglement and rushed into the manor.
Lu Shuang finally found a way to get rid of the crowd. She studied with Fairy Ejing of Yueyinglin in Shuiyun Valley. She concentrated on practicing illusions and had already achieved a lot. Now seeing this situation, those few people Blushing, he wanted to go to the manor, but he couldn't stop him. In a hurry, he took out an object from his storage bag. When he was about to use it, he was worried that the object was not powerful enough, so he gritted his teeth and broke it. With one finger, he applied a touch of essence and blood, and then flicked his wrist!
A small sound of "ding bell" rippled out.
Almost instantly, if Qian Chao had been clear-minded, he would have discovered that the manor was in a trance under the faint sound of the bell, just like a pebble still breaking the reflection of the lantern market on the calm water. Then, Tang Ping discovered that as the faint ringtone rang out, almost all the people that could be seen in the manor, including the shadows reflected on the window paper, paused. Pedestrians on the road, children chasing each other, those wearing The people in the costumes of Five Spirit Disciples were suddenly startled, then stood still, and then either raised their heads or turned their heads to look in their direction.
In everyone's eyes, there was a look of embarrassment and anger after the conspiracy was revealed, and a ferocious look when facing prey!
