Chapter 153: The Bell Rings, the Light Comes On
Qian Lao rolled his eyes and hurriedly persuaded: "Jiangling, I also know about this old man, Ling Cang didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would retreat." ”
Gangneung still had the same look: "Oh? Then you can talk about it now." ”
At this time, Ling Cang sighed: "It's my fault for this, if I hadn't hidden it from you at the beginning, it wouldn't be a stranger's turn to sow discord here." ”
He glanced at Bai Xiu again: "I'm very curious, how could it be so coincidental, the sixth met you when we were about to go to sea, could it be that you are also robbing the idea of the Shengding fragment?"
"Nonsense, it was a pure accident that Haruko and I met Xin Fang in Chongling Village. Cheng Lu immediately interrupted him, "It's you, who are so close to Tianjiao's people, I'm afraid that you won't be on our side for a long time, right?"
Ling Cang ignored him and continued: "You are not a disciple of Mingyue Island, but you can easily unlock the mechanism here, seeing that you are young, if you say that this is based on your own ability, do you believe it?"
I'm afraid you've already known about this place, right?"
Speaking of this, even Cheng Lu's eyes showed a little suspicion, let alone others.
Jiang Ling couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, he stared at Bai Xiu motionlessly, and asked, "Who are you?"
Bai Xiu didn't answer immediately, he thought of a little bit in his heart, Jiang Ling is a suspicious person, he definitely can't provoke it like Ling Cang, it is better to play the emotional card, but it will separate them.
So he pretended to shake his head gloomily, met his gaze and said, "I said, I just came here to repay Cheng Lu's favor, and we will part ways when we go back, who am I?"
Cheng Lu was ashamed for a while: "Good brother, with your words, I shouldn't doubt you!"
Jiang Ling couldn't help but smile, and then swept his gaze over Ling Cang and Qian Lao one by one: "You haven't said what the hell is going on. ”
The implication of his words was obviously that he chose to believe Bai Xiu.
"It seems that the young owner still has a lot of misunderstandings about us...... I'll tell you everything I know, and then you can decide what to do when the time comes. Ling Cang smiled bitterly.
He turned his head to stare at the stone gate: "We have five forbidden techniques on Mingyue Island, and one of them is to guard this underground palace, which is called the Eight Star Sacrifice Corpse Array.
Among the five forbidden techniques, the completion conditions for secret techniques such as the Nine Shadows Soul Sealing Soul are extremely harsh, and no one has ever successfully performed them, but this eight-star corpse sacrifice array is much simpler, but it is also the most cruel one in it.
The arranger killed more than 500 people alive, took their soul and qi luck and refined them by secret methods, and then divided them into eight parts and planted them on their corpses, so that their power could be used by the arrangers for the rest of their lives. ”
Jiang Ling frowned: "In this way, it is indeed very dangerous to open the underground palace. ”
Qian Lao smiled: "You don't know this, although this eight-star sacrificial corpse array is dangerous, we are not without a way to crack it."
Its nemesis is the Heaven and Earth Bell, one of the five treasures of the Ming family, as long as the bell rings, we will not be in danger. ”
Bai Xiu, the five treasures of the Ming family, has also heard that the "Heaven and Earth Bell" knows the heavens and the earth, the "Soul Flag" collects the soul and accepts the soul, the "Yin Soul" is the treasure of the world, the "Book of Life and Death" is the foundation of the spell, and the "Comb Heart Mirror" shines on the soul to ward off evil spirits.
He originally thought that these were legendary treasures, but he didn't expect them to really exist.
As he was pondering, Ling Cang glanced at him again and sighed, "The reason why I said those words before is that I am afraid that this brother will deliberately deceive people here, so as to separate us and monopolize the fragments of the Raiding Life Ding. ”
Cheng Lu sighed: "If this eight-star sacrificial corpse array is really so powerful, who else can enter it except you?"
Ling Cang smiled: "Since my Ming Family's Heaven and Earth Bell can overcome it, maybe he also has other treasures around him." ”
Cheng Lu was about to refute, but Qian Lao was already waving his hand.
"Don't make any noise, the most important thing right now is to work together to get something. He glanced at everyone very majestically, and finally said to Jiang Ling, "Ling Cang and I have decided to go in, you can do it." ”
Jiang Ling stepped aside with a hesitant expression, and then called Bai Xiu and Cheng Lu over.
He asked, "It seems that they have already made up their own minds, and now is not the time to turn their faces, what do you say?"
Cheng Lu was at a loss for ideas, and looked at Bai Xiu with blank eyes.
Bai Xiu had no choice but to say: "Let's do what they say, until now, we can only get out of it if we work together." ”
It was estimated that Jiang Ling also thought the same, and he turned to Ling Cang and the others: "Then how can we open this stone gate?
Ling Cang directly expressed his attitude with his actions.
He walked under the stone gate, replaced the ruler with his hand, and measured it carefully.
After a while, he clicked on three spots and put a spell on each of them.
When everything was ready, he told Qian Lao and Bai Xiu about what he had to do next: "You follow me to the charm to carry the spirit, I didn't shout to stop, you must not stop." ”
Bai Xiu followed them to the stone gate, and after concentrating on it, he caught the vigorous spiritual power fluctuations on the three charms, thinking that none of them were ordinary.
Seeing that the two of them had already lit the charm, he gently pasted his two fingers on the gourd drawing scoop.
Ling Cang drank softly: "Get up!"
The three of them were in good spirits at the same time, and the magic light of the spell skyrocketed, and in the blink of an eye, a ring of light was reflected at the stone gate.
It continued to hover, expand, and soon covered the entire stone gate.
Bai Xiuzheng was curious about how Jiang Ling opened this stone door, and he thought that an extremely crisp bell sound rang in his ears without warning.
Jingle Bell –
Jingle Bell –
Jingle Bell –
After three sounds, he fixed his eyes and saw a black bell the size of a thumb growing in the aperture like a wind, and soon it was the size of a fist.
When he saw its appearance clearly, Bai Xiu was surprised that this heaven and earth bell was exactly the same as the copper bell of Zhong Ming.
But it's reasonable to think about it, after all, the Ming family has a deep relationship with the land of listening to souls, so it's not surprising that there will be something there.
And when the bell rings with the power of a bell can open the city gate, it is no wonder that this heaven and earth bell will be regarded as a treasure by the Ming family, maybe they were able to go to and from the place of listening to the soul with their spirits, it is its credit.
He was thinking wildly, and a dull roar slowly floated away.
Bai Xiu turned his head to see that the originally closed stone door had opened a gap that could be passed through.
Ling Cang motioned for the two of them to stop moving the spirits, and with a wave of his hand, he put the bell back in his sleeve.
The three spells lost their support and instantly turned into ashes.
The rest of the people came back to their senses at this time, and one of the young people danced excitedly: "Uncle Shi, you are so powerful, you directly broke the magic circle behind the door!"
Qian Lao looked at Bai Xiu vigorously, and finally sighed: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, I am really old!"
The others didn't understand the meaning of this, but Ling Cang knew it very well.
"I don't know what your Excellency is taught from?" he asked Bai Xiu, "I also know the cultivation world, but I don't know which family and sect produced such a powerful young master. ”
Then he added: "What's more, you still know about our Ming family's forbidden arts, and I'm even more curious about which senior disciple you are." ”
As soon as he said this, others turned their eyes to Bai Xiu.
Bai Xiu was sure that no one present could break through the fluctuations of his spiritual power, and thinking of the words of Ming Yu Chu before, he had an idea in his heart, and followed Ling Cang's words and made up a master to come out.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that Master confessed when he took me as an apprentice, and I'm really sorry that I can't reveal her identity. ”
Seeing that Ling Cang was still staring at him, he quietly pinched a trick.
The other party's expression changed suddenly, and then he hid it again.
Ling Cang smiled: "Since it's inconvenient for you to say, then I won't ask...... This trip is very dangerous, you must protect the young owner. ”
Bai Xiu nodded in response.
Ling Cang changed the topic without a trace: "The night is long and dreamy, let's hurry up, I'll take the lead." ”
The crowd followed him into the stone gate, and a wide passage came into view.
The strange thing is that this passage is surprisingly short, less than five meters is blocked by a shadow wall, and then changes the direction to reveal two dark openings, one left and one right, I don't know where it leads.
Seeing everyone's inquiry, Ling Cang said regretfully: "I don't know what's going on here, for now, we can only take a look first." ”
Jiang Ling was already hopeless about him, and turned to look at Bai Xiu: "Did you find anything?"
Bai Xiu observed matterfully for a moment, then muttered a little, and finally said, "Maybe you can use my method to find out the situation." ”
Jiang Ling smiled with satisfaction and motioned for everyone to retreat.
Bai Xiu did not drag the mud and water, and once again showed the trace of the royal spirit.
A faint line of blood sprang out of his fingertips, and before he could reach the fork in the road, he sank into the ground, and in a short time, a section of the ground disappeared.
"How's it going?" asked Gangneung expectantly.
Bai Xiu was silent for a moment of pretending to think, during which he secretly swept his gaze at Ling Cang, and saw him blink his right eye, and then said, "Right side." ”
"Good. Gangneung was convinced of him and immediately made a decision, "Let's go to the right." ”
"This ......" Qian Lao hesitated, looked at Ling Cang, and saw that he was silent, so he simply stopped objecting, "Okay, you are the owner, we all listen to you." ”
The group entered through the passage on the right, and they walked for about five minutes, when a faint light came from the front.
Cheng Lu was in a hurry, and took the lead in rushing forward a few steps, and then he turned around: "This 'small room' is empty, only the kind of everlasting light from before!"
The others walked over and saw that there was a stone room eight or nine meters square, which was indeed empty, with four oil lamps hanging on each wall on each side.
They searched for a circle and had no clues, so they could only continue to walk, but after walking for about twenty minutes, there was a fire beating again not far away.
Ling Cang's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he hurriedly waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.
He stared at the firelight for a moment, and his face became more and more ugly: "Quickly retreat, retreat to a place where the light can't shine!"
When he was far away from the fire, Ling Cang breathed a sigh of relief, just in time to see that the others, especially Jiang Ling, were scrutinizing, so he took the opportunity to explain.
"The situation of this underground palace is extremely special, it is made of eight formations of large, medium and small inlaid with each other, which means that there are as many as five hundred and twelve stone chambers like that just now.
They are connected at a certain distance to form a whole, and I won't say how many roads there are, but there is only one correct one. ”
Cheng Lu scoffed: "If that's the case, how much space does this underground palace have to occupy?Five hundred and twelve stone chambers are connected to each other, far beyond the scope of Mingyue Island, could it be that most of it is dug in the sea?"
Ling Cang didn't bother to say much to him, and only said to Bai Xiu: "As far as I know, the stone chamber that the correct route passes through must be 'Yin and Yang combined', that is, light and dark are separated, but we have encountered two stone chambers with lights on in a row.
I'm afraid you've just pointed the wrong way...... As for whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, I don't know. ”
