Zishang followed his grandfather King Wu Geng into the rockery pool, until the bottom of the river ten meters deep, entered a vacuum hole at the bottom of the rockery, and went to the secret room of the palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the waterless cavity at the bottom of the rockery, there is a spiral downward stone staircase passage, which is also finely built with stone bricks on all sides, and the passage is very solid.

But there were no permanent lights or night pearls placed in this passage, so it was very dark, and I could only bend over and move forward in the dark.

It took a dozen turns to reach the bottom, and then there were seven bronze doors locked with several large locks, and the copper doors were covered with patina, but you could still feel its weight and solidity.

Walking down the spiral stone staircase, King Wu Geng led Zishang to the third door on the left, then took out the key to open the bottom two locks, and walked two more doors to the left, opening all the six locks on the door.

After doing this, King Wu Geng protected Zishang behind him, agitated his true qi, and opened the copper door hard and slowly, and heard a huge knocking sound on the stone wall on the left, and he didn't know what it was, but what caught his eye was more than twenty bronze tripods, which contained various treasures, dazzling people's eyes.

King Wu Geng explained: "The seven doors here are all huge caves, but there are either demon beasts or traps inside, in fact, this cave was originally locked up with a [Xuan Demon Beast Purple Blade Snake], whose strength is comparable to that of ordinary Qi Refining Nine Realms, and now it is locked in this stone wall. ”

"To open the secret room, not only must you choose this door, but you must also open the last two locks of that door, because if you just open the lock of this door, then this bronze door can only be pushed open, which is also what most people will subconsciously think. ”

"But if that's the case, you'll be attacked by the [Purple Blade Snake]. Opening the last two locks of that door will open the mechanism of the door, and the door can be opened. When the door is opened, the [Purple Blade Snake] will be quickly pushed into the stone wall by a cage and closed. The real secret room behind the stone wall can be revealed. ”

After hearing this, Zishang felt dizzy for a while, in order to keep it secret, this secret room is too far to be designed!

King Wu Geng opened this secret room and asked Zishang to choose some suitable and useful things to protect himself.

In the secret room of the palace, there are more than a dozen forbidden exercises, nearly 100 martial arts cheats, a total of four or five hundred mystical weapons of all kinds, dozens of bottles of elixir, and many other messy items, but they should be very precious.

Zi Shang's heart was dark, and he paid close attention to the careful selection.

An hour later......

Zishang was holding five secret books, three bottles of elixir, a set of silver soft armor, a pair of slightly old gray and white combat boots, and a dragon-shaped red jade the size of two thumbs.

King Wu Geng looked at the things he had chosen, all of them were within his tolerance, so he nodded in agreement, and at the same time took off one of the four rings in his hand, handed it to Zishang, and said:

"It's a storage ring, it's small, and it's not a lot of space inside, it's only the size of a water tank. However, this kind of artifact can only be refined by those who have entered the Holy Realm, and there are less than 100,000 pieces of various storage artifacts left in the world. Each piece is worth a fortune and has no price!"

King Wu Geng was still not at ease, and continued to advise: "Don't let people see you when you go out in the future, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

Zishang nodded solemnly and agreed.

At night, under the secret operation of King Wu Geng, Zishang quietly left Yincheng and went all the way to the east to begin his tortuous and bizarre journey.

……

More than 100 miles east of Yincheng, there is an ancient town, which is called: "Emperor Hill". Legend has it that this was once the capital of one of the five emperors of ancient times.

With 100,000 inhabitants, Diqiu Town is also a small town. There is a Pushui River in the north of the town, ten miles upstream of the river is a low mountain and hill, there are more than 300 people in the grass, it is the number one bandit group within a radius of 80 miles, known as the [Emperor Soul Army].

However, the people privately called him the "Emperor Soul Bandit".

The leader of the [Emperor Soul Army] is named "Gaoyang Huang", his strength is extraordinary, his combat power is outstanding, and at the age of forty, he actually has the realm of the sevenfold peak of qi refining, and his strength is comparable to the eightfold realm of qi refining.

In addition, he has a high-grade [Human Mystery Weapon?Cracked Que Axe] about seven feet long.

In addition to him, there are also four low-level Qi Refining Realm martial artists, such a strong bandit group, as long as they dredge up the local government officials, it is indeed not a problem to dominate this radius of eighty miles.

When the merchants came here, it coincided with the local temple fair, the town was crowded with people, and although the weather was slightly cold, it did not reduce people's enthusiasm for the temple fair.

In the bustling streets, men, women and children choose their favorite items on the six streets of the market, and the sound of shouting, selling and bargaining is endless.

On the other side of the street, a group of about twenty people, dressed in fancy costumes, with fancy faces painted and very strange.

They are a professional sacrificial procession, they have to walk through the six streets of the market, and the people along the streets have to give them more or less food and gifts, and finally go to the [Black Emperor Temple] not far away to carry out sacrificial activities.

The merchant also bought a string of small brass beads and gave it to them.

After walking for two quarters of an hour on the hard, noisy street, the merchant was so noisy that he bought a bunch of snacks such as sugar gourds and flower cakes at the roadside stalls, and also packed dozens of catties of beef jerky, sauce donkey meat and other meat at the inn, ready to be eaten as snacks on the road.

Finally squeezed out of the bustling downtown area, and was about to continue on his way, he found a small blacksmith shop on the edge of the town, but there was only a sporadic sound of "dangdang" striking iron.

At first, Zishang was only a little surprised that there was a blacksmith shop in such a half-sized town, which was comparable in scale to the three big blacksmith shops in Yincheng.

But I was only a little surprised, and I didn't think much about it.

When the merchant passed by the main entrance of this big blacksmith shop with a sugar gourd in his mouth, he glanced at the plaque of the shop, on which were written with a brush four vigorous and powerful ink characters: [Xuanjiang Forging]

Seeing such a domineering store name, Zishang couldn't help but stop, hesitated for two seconds, and walked towards the shop.

Lifting the curtain of the door, he entered the inner room, where there were eight doors, two of which were hidden, and the heat in it was blowing, and from time to time sparks came out, and the sporadic sound of striking iron came from inside.

In front of a door, a weak old man in his seventies with a mustache was directing three big men to carry forging materials.

Sensing that someone was coming in, the old man turned around and saw that the half-sized merchant was carrying a sword on his back and was constantly looking at the shop.

When the old man saw that although Zishang was not very old, his eyes were sharp and calm, and his body movements were agile and powerful, he knew that he was a martial artist, and asked, "Little brother, do you need to buy anything when you come to my Xuanjiang shop?"

Zishang then focused his attention on the old man, took the sugar gourd out of his mouth, and replied, "Oh! ”

Then he looked away, looked at the other doors, and asked absentmindedly, "May I ask what level of mystic weapons can you forge here?"

The old man said, "If we provide sufficient materials, we can refine the highest grade [Human Mystery Weapon] here......!

The old man looked Shang up and down again, and said, "But little brother, are you a martial artist in the Body Refining Realm?

Zishang still looked around and said, "I've just broken through to the Ninefold Realm of Body Refining, and my current weapon is still handy, so I don't need to replace it for the time being." ”

After speaking, Zishang suddenly thought of something, took down the [Zhanchen Sword] behind him, and said to the old man: "By the way, can you help me see if this sword is a low-grade mystical weapon?"

The old man took the [Zhanchen Sword], touched it with his hand, felt the sword body, and then his eyes lit up, he looked at Zishang, then at the sword, and exclaimed: "The top grade [Human Mystery Weapon]!

"And the craftsmanship of this sword is exquisite, I'm afraid it comes from the hands of the Earth Mystery Master!"

The old man couldn't put it down and touched the [Zhanchen Sword], Zishang stingily took back the matching sword, put it in the homemade scabbard, and then said: "It turns out that this sword is of such a high grade, then I have nothing to look at, farewell!"

After speaking, he turned around and left with the sugar gourd in his mouth, ignoring the old man.

Just now the old man said that the [Zhanchen Sword] is the top existence in the high-grade human mysteries, and the three strong men who were carrying things not far away all looked at each other, and they also exchanged glances with each other, Zishang couldn't help but feel bad in his heart, and immediately took back the sword and ran away.

After walking along the main road for twenty miles, he gradually relaxed his vigilance, but at noon, when Zishang passed through a small valley, a group of masked strong men suddenly jumped out, and two big characters were embroidered on each heart - "Emperor Soul......
