Liang Yushi then brought the selected 100 laborers, including Li Huanzhen, to Master Shen. Afterwards, Master Shen whispered to Liang Yushi, and then took out a stack of black talismans and handed them to several soldiers to distribute to the laborers. , Liang Yushi said at the side: "You can carry this talisman with you and go up the mountain with me to hunt for treasures. If you are in danger, you can stick this talisman on your forehead, and the immortal master can save your life."
When the laborers received the talisman, they were all talking about it. They were obviously frightened by the roar of the beasts along the way, and there were obviously unknown dangers on the mountain, so all the laborers were hesitant. Seeing this, Liang Yushi immediately added;
"Everyone who goes up the mountain will receive an extra fifty taels of gold."
The crowd suddenly calmed down. It was obvious that everyone was attracted by the high bounty, so all fears were forgotten. Liang Yushi was very proud of himself for thinking of this short bounty scheme. Yes, anyway, these laborers died in the end, who would ask him for the bounty.
Liang Yushi thought proudly as he quietly walked up to Master Shen and asked, "Master Shen, is this spell safe?"
"Master Liang is doubting my technique!"
"No, no, I'm just worried that if any laborer fails to use the talisman, all the previous efforts will be wasted." Liang Yushi said with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Liang, you can rest assured. The sticker on your forehead is just a lie made by me to deceive these ignorant people. Last night, I used magic to attract evil spirits from the ghost world and sealed them in these talismans. I will wait until these living sacrifices enter the formation. , I only need to activate the talisman." Master Shen sneered.
"I understand."
Later, Yushi Liang and General Hou packed up their troops and prepared to go up the mountain. Just as General Hou ordered the soldiers to prepare to go up the mountain, Yushi Liang stopped him and said: "General Hou, don't be anxious. I have an important task for the general."
"Liang Yushi, what's the matter?" General Hou actually disliked this treasure hunter appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. He looked bossy to his subordinates, and acted like a slave to the immortals. But he couldn't help himself. It's just that his deputy is one level below him in rank, so he has to endure it.
"I think General Hou doesn't need to go up the mountain. You can camp at the foot of the mountain to take care of him. I can just lead people up the mountain with Master Shen." Liang Yushi said with a smile.
General Hou immediately understood. As a warrior, he was also well versed in officialdom. Yushi Liang wanted to take credit, and immediately said: "No need, Sir Liang. I will personally lead the people to the mountain to protect the treasure. This is my duty." Where.”
Liang Yushi was very unhappy after hearing this. He turned his eyes and thought about it, and then said: "In this case, if this trip goes wrong, or if the Qimu Empire's spies intercept the treasure, I have no choice but to report to Your Majesty this way. , the thieves and chieftains are powerful, but I, a scholar of a generation, are unable to defeat them. I have lost my treasure, and I beg your Majesty to convict me."
When General Hou heard this, he became furious. It was obvious that Yushi Liang wanted to put the blame on himself if anything went wrong in this trip. He was a military commander and could not protect the treasure, so he could not escape the blame. He had no choice but to say: "I understand. If this is the case, then I will lead my people to meet you at the foot of the mountain. However, I will send twenty personal guards under my command to escort Mr. Liang, haha." Halfway through, General Hou thought of his plan and smiled. Di said, thinking in his heart, since you want to take the credit for discovering the treasure, I will send people to watch you, so don't think about trying to find any treasure, and it will not be easy for everyone.
Liang Yushi had no choice but to retort, so he just snorted and stomped away.
After the intrigue between the two ended, Liang Yushi and Shen Zhenren led fifty soldiers and General Hou's twenty personal guards to monitor one hundred laborers and headed towards the entrance of the treasure house on the mountain.
Half an hour later, the team came to a stone platform halfway up the mountain. This stone platform was very huge, as if someone had chopped off part of the mountain with a knife. At the end of the stone platform near the inside of the mountain was a huge The stone cave is about several feet high. It is pitch black and bottomless inside.
"We're finally here. I'm really exhausted." Liang Yushi said breathlessly. The middle finger peak didn't look high to the naked eye, but actually it was so tall when you climbed up that it would certainly be too much for Liang Yushi's fat body. , when he saw the entrance, his mood suddenly became beautiful. Just as he was about to walk into the cave, Master Shen raised his hand and said:
"Master Liang, don't worry, let these sacrifices go in to lead the attack, but there is still a large formation that has not been eliminated."
Liang Yushi couldn't help but shuddered when he thought of the danger here, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master, for reminding me. I'll leave the rest to Master."
"Okay," Master Shen then turned around and said to the hundred laborers behind him; "Ahead is the entrance to the treasure house. You and I will go in as a group of five to look for the treasures. Most of the treasures are in some caves. After you find them, quickly report to Mr. Liang and me. Don't keep the report privately, otherwise this will be your fate." After saying that, Master Shen stretched out his hand to grab a flying bird on the treetop in the distance and caught it in his hand. His hand instantly ignited. A ball of black flames instantly turned the bird into ashes. Everyone was frightened when they saw this, but Li Huanzhen was attracted by this spell. He couldn't help but sigh that these immortal cultivators are really powerful. The girl he met last night and this Master Shen can fly in the sky with swords. , it would be great if I could have the opportunity to learn.
Master Shen finished casting the spell and then said, "If you find these two treasures, not only will you get a reward from Master Liang, but I will also give each of the people who find them a hundred taels of gold."
Master Shen took out two ancient pictures and showed them to everyone. One picture showed a jade slip with vague words engraved on it, and the other picture showed a silver-white spear with a silver dragon on the handle. Engraved on it was actually the spear held by the figure in Li Huanzhen's dream. He had been having this dream for the past few days, so the appearance of this spear was always imprinted in his mind.
He couldn't help but wonder why I dreamed about this gun. However, he couldn't help but think too much. When the laborers saw the amount of the bounty, they immediately became excited. They were afraid that others would get the bounty before them, so they couldn't wait to rush into the cave in groups of five. Li Huanzhen had no choice but to follow the crowd. He ran into the cave that would change his life. . . .
On the other side, Yushi Liang said anxiously to Master Shen: "Master, what do you mean? It will be difficult to collect all the sacrifices after these sacrifices ran in."
Master Shen smiled strangely and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liang, do you know where the last formation is?"
"where?"
"Right at your feet."
"Under my feet...?"
"Hahaha, speaking of it, this great formation is worthy of being established by Emperor Tianyi, the greatest genius in the ancient and modern world of immortality. It is really a grand gesture. The entire mountain is the great formation, or the entire treasure house mountain is shrouded in the great formation. If you want to break it, These living sacrifices have to run into every part of the mountain, just like the blood in the body, so destroying them directly from the inside is the easiest way."
"I see, the real person is really a god." Liang Yushi said flatteringly.
"Okay, let's follow. With these living sacrifices going to the thunder pool, we will be much safer. It will be too late when Junior Brother Gu and the others move in to teach." Master Shen interrupted Liang Yushi.
"Okay, everything will be obeyed by Master Shen. Master Shen, I don't know what's inside, hehe." Liang Yushi smiled even more flatteringly.
"I only want those two things. Our master also wants these two things. You can handle the rest as you wish, I won't ask." Master Shen frowned and said.
"Excellent, Master Shen, let's set off immediately." After saying that, Liang Yushi rushed towards the entrance of the cave, showing no sign that his fat body had any effect on him. .
At this time, Li was really walking with several laborers from the same village in the cave. It was pitch dark in the cave. Fortunately, they had torches. The leader of the strong laborers called on everyone to light the torches. After a while, he saw that everyone was almost fine. After that, he said: "Let's go." After saying that, he walked deeper into the cave.
Everyone followed, and soon, as they moved forward, they fell into endless darkness behind them.
The cave was filled with rugged rocks and abrupt peaks. Li Huanzhen followed closely behind the others. In the end, some places were so narrow that only one person could pass through.
And in front, the darkness was like a monster, opening its arms and grinning ferociously, welcoming their arrival.
