Lu Pingchuan ran around and searched almost all the corpses he could see. He gathered the storage bags together and rummaged through them. After dealing with the belongings of the casual cultivators, the five of them headed towards the cave or As we walked deeper into the street, we also carefully inspected the houses on both sides of the road.
Some houses are very simple, almost just an empty house, which can be seen clearly from the doorway or window. Some houses have suites, and Qian Chao and others who are curious can go in and take a look.
The furnishings in these houses vary, and most of them are just for living, so they are very simple, with only stone tables, beds and a few futons. But there are also a few who are more particular. The furniture and utensils used are obviously brought in from outside. There are carved wooden canopy beds, the curtains on them are all new and clean, there are elegant lacquered wood bookcases, and there are multi-colored bookcases. , there are also some books and utensils placed inside, which looks very elegant. Even the futon used for meditation is woven from the best Shoxincao. With the furnishings in the house like this, the owner must be a rather particular person. Just a casual cultivator, I just don’t know which one of the corpses outside is the owner of this house.
The general rooms are not big, and they are all for casual cultivators to live in. In addition, there are relatively large houses on both sides of the road. Such houses are often equipped with luminous stones, making the room extra special. It's bright. The layout inside seems to be a tea house or a tavern. In addition to many tables and tables separated by screens, there is also a counter-like arrangement at the front. There is indeed wine and tea behind the counter. I think this place should be a place where casual cultivators gather together to drink or drink tea and communicate with each other. And there are many places similar to this. Along the way, Qian Chao and the others discovered seven or eight places, each of which was quite large.
When Qian Chao walked out of a large room like a teahouse, he suddenly smiled and said:
"Do you think that if there were people coming and going here, it would look a bit like Ruixuan Town?"
Yanxuan looked along the street and said:
"It's indeed very similar."
Tang Ping said:
“There’s less signage and pretense, otherwise it would be more like it.”
Lu Pingchuan looked back and forth and said:
"Well, if all these dead people stood up and did whatever they had to do, don't say anything, that would be more like it."
They could see corpses wherever they looked in the cave, and the smell of decay was unbearable. Both Tang Ping and Yanxuan wanted to walk on tiptoes. After hearing Lu Pingchuan's words, Tang Ping and Yanxuan were frightened. Jump.
"Brother Lu, don't say that, it's scary!"
"hey-hey."
Li Jianze said:
"It seems that these casual cultivators do regard this place as their home!"
Qian Chao said:
"Yes, they do want to stay here for a long time. Let's continue. There are fire eyes in the cold pool. That's where the casual cultivators refine evil swords and evil weapons. I still remember An Zhen and Yu Xian who were the first to have our idea. With Dong Zhong, what those three guys originally wanted was to kidnap me here to refine weapons for them. According to Senior Brother Chu Yuan, there are casual cultivators here who are refining elixirs. If we go further, we should be able to find that place. "
Tang Ping looked at the countless houses on both sides of the road and asked:
"Did Chu Yuan ever tell you how many people there were when there were the most people here?"
"It is said that there were almost three hundred people at the most."
"so much!"
This street or this cave is very long, and along the way you can always see scattered cultivators who have been dead for a long time. Yanxuan covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and frowned and asked:
"There are so many corpses here. Did Wen Liang kill everyone here?"
"No," Qian Chao said, "At least they won't kill everyone at that time. There must be many captured alive by him. Wen Liang doesn't know how to enter the seventh layer of the cold pool, and Xing Rang doesn't know either. They may know The exact location of the entrance, but in order to enter, you must first crack the formation there. This requires someone to try to see if their method is correct, and it is very dangerous to do so. If you enter it by mistake, People are bound to die, so they have to leave some people behind as scapegoats."
As he spoke, he walked forward. There were gradually fewer corpses as he went forward. There was a corner in front of this street-like cave, which was also brightly lit. When he got there, Li Jian, who was walking in front, signaled that there was still nothing there. Danger existed, so the five people turned directly over.
What appeared in front of the five people this time was a cave like a huge hall. The cave had a high ceiling, almost a regular circle, and a circle of surrounding stone walls went straight upwards. Stone chambers were also carved out on the stone walls. There were many futons placed in the middle of the cave, and the fronts of the futons were covered with stone slabs. There was faint heat radiating through the stone slabs.
Qian Chao was a little stunned when he saw this scene. He thought that there were only one or two fire eyes in the cold pool that could be used for refining weapons, and that was about it. However, he did not expect that the number of fire eyes in the cold pool was no less than a hundred. Although it was not comparable to He went to Chengqi Hall, but he was still surprised to see it deep underground.
"This is it," Qian Chao said, then pointed to the center of the cave and said, "This is where the evil cultivators refine their evil weapons. Under those stone slabs are the eyes of fire."
Then Qian Chao made a brief identification and pointed to a cave-like place on the opposite stone wall in the distance and said:
"That's the entrance to the fourth level of the cold pool."
Lu Pingchuan first approached the covered stone slabs out of curiosity, and gently kicked one open with his feet. Suddenly, a bright red hole was exposed under the stone slabs, and powerful heat kept pouring out. The unexpected heat shocked Lu Pingchuan. , said:
"Sure enough, it's the same as Brother Qian's weapon refining eyes."
When Qian Chao saw it, he went over to take a look, nodded and said:
"Well, the fire veins here are pretty good, not inferior to those in Chengqi Hall."
Huoyan can refine weapons and elixirs, so Yanxuan also came over and took a closer look:
"Well, as long as you bring the alchemy furnace with you, you can indeed make alchemy here. But alchemy requires peace of mind. In a situation like this here, if many people gather together and make noise, it will not be purified at all."
"There are no alchemy masters among casual cultivators," Tang Ping said and asked Qian Chao, "Qian boy, what are you going to do here?"
"I have a way to cut off the fire veins here. Let's arrange it when we leave. Even if someone can get in here in the future, they will no longer be able to refine evil weapons here to harm others."
At this time, Lu Pingchuan turned around almost all the stone chambers carved into the stone walls, but found nothing.
There are no corpses here, and there is a fire eye here, and it is close to the entrance to the next level. It seems that the rotten smell of the corpses at the corner is much weaker here, and Tang Ping and Yan Xuan no longer need to cover their mouths with their skirt sleeves. Nose, but these two women have already made up their minds. After this incident is over and they return to the sect, they must wash themselves thoroughly and wash away all the smells on their bodies.
Li Jian said:
"This is where they refine weapons and elixirs, and over there is where the casual cultivators live. It's hard to imagine that there is such a place deep underground in our Five Spirit Sect. It really seems like it's hidden in It’s like a town deep underground, today is an eye-opener, I wonder what the fourth level will be like.”
Qian Chao said:
"Senior Brother Chu Yuan said that the third floor is mostly populated by casual cultivators, and the fourth floor is almost the place where Yu Nianhui is located within the sect. Yu Nianhui can come to the place where casual cultivators stay, but the Yu Nianhui's territory is very difficult for casual cultivators. If Shao Neng goes, the two sides can be considered to be quite different."
"Brother Li," Tang Ping said, "this place is actually not that big. In the future, after we build the foundation, we can go out. Maybe we can go to a few famous places. There are several big cities that are very famous. It’s one world, and there’s another world underground.”
"Oh, is there such a place?"
"Of course there is, and there are more than one. Well, I also heard from my sixth grandfather that at the junction of Muyang Sect and Meng Cailou there is a big city that is very famous in the spiritual world, called Ningwang City. Our Ruixuan Town is much larger, and all the people in that city are monks. It is said that the buildings on the ground of Ningwang City are magnificent, with tall buildings, exquisite pavilions, neat and wide roads, and numerous shops. The streets are also full of people. There are monks coming there from all over the place, crowded and lively. It is said that people from the six sects of Central Continent can be seen there, and the strangest thing is that Ningwang City has its own rules, which are neither restricted nor obeyed by Muyang Sect. Meng Cailou's order is that just like in our Wuling Sect, any fighting is strictly prohibited. Even if the enemies meet, they cannot take any action. If you want to take action, you have to leave Ningwang City. This is very strange, and whether it is Mu Yang Both Zong and Meng Cailou actually acquiesced to the existence of Ningwang City. My sixth grandfather said that Ningwang City has two city lords, and they are a pair of brothers. They are both monks in the Nascent Soul Realm, so there are such big rules."
Lu Pingchuan heard this and asked:
"Then is there another city underneath Ningwang City?"
"Indeed, there is a large space deep underground in Ningwang City. I don't know how long it took. The underground construction is almost the same as the above ground. Of course, there must be a difference, that is, the underground city is built all year round. It doesn't see the light of day, so it looks gloomy. The people who come and go in that underground city are all kinds of people from Central Continent. Well, most of them are evil cultivators and various notorious loose cultivators. It is said that the underground Ningwang City is populated by those evil cultivators. It is a good place for casual cultivators, where even people who are wanted by all the major sects can see him, but the six sects of Central Continent cannot enter there to capture him, and can only wait for him to leave there. It can be regarded as providing those people with A shelter.”
"There is such a place!" Qian Chao was also curious after hearing this.
"Well, Ningwang City is the most unique big city in Central Continent. In fact, there are many similar places. There are also similar places on the border of our Wuling Sect, but they are much smaller than Ningwang City. In addition, there are some The unknown places are all similar to the ones we saw just now. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and are occupied by rogue cultivators and evil cultivators. Generally speaking, places like this are mostly people doing some shady business. It is very likely that we can go out in the future. I will also experience a few of them.”
"I'm looking forward to it," Li Jian said softly.
After staying here for a while, the five people will enter the fourth floor of the cold pool through the passage. There is nothing in this third floor except corpses, which means that there are the next four, fifth and sixth floors. Maybe they met Wen Liang, so the five people became more and more cautious since entering the passage.
