Chapter 60: The Ruins Open
So Ling Feng overheard the conversation in the tent, and one of them said, "Today's event, you and I have gathered five families, I think everyone must know very well what we are here for. It is to discuss the ownership of the items in this ruin after it is opened. I believe that each and every one of us has paid a great price for obtaining this key. Everyone didn't want to come back empty-handed. So let's talk about what you think."
As soon as the words fell, the representative of the Pu family spoke and said, "Since the words are so clear, then I will talk about the purpose of our Pu family this time." Our Pu family came here this time to ask for nothing else, only to be able to obtain the refining manual and experience of the ancestors during their lifetime. Of course, there are also some refining utensils. If you agree, we are willing to cooperate."
After the Pu family finished speaking, someone then spoke, "Since the Pu family has said so, then my Ji family is not hypocritical." Anyway, the refining manual and experience are useless to us, so we should sell the Pu family's personal favor, and I agree that the Pu family is unique. However, our request is also very simple, we hope to be able to obtain a quarter of these spirit weapons. Of course, the rest of the items are on a first-come, first-served basis. ”
Hearing this, the people of the Ji family also spoke about their own conditions. The other two also said, "Okay, we agree." However, our requirements are the same as those of the Ji family." After that, the man at the beginning spoke again, "Since everyone has talked to him, then our Lin family also agrees to the Pu family's request." According to what the Pu family said about not wanting other items, it just so happened that the four of us divided the spirit level weapons in this ruin equally. But if there's only one Spirit-level weapon in this ruin, how should we distribute it?"
Indeed, if there is only one spirit level weapon in this ruin, how should these four families be divided? The four families who had reached a consensus began to ponder. Looking at the four contemplative families, the Pu family spoke, "I don't think it's better to be like this, if there is only one piece, you can all leave it to our Pu family, let the Pu family study the spirit level weapons forged by the ancestors." Finally, I will help each of the four of you to create a spirit level weapon you want, and you will not be charged any fees. Of course, you need to bring your own refining materials. I don't know what you think."
The Lin family, who had just spoken, spoke again, "Since Master Pu has said so, then my Lin family agrees." With the consent of the Lin family, the other three families also agreed. In this way, the five families reached a consensus. All of this was overheard by Ling Feng. Just when Ling Feng thought the meeting was about to end.
Ji Jiare raised a question that caused everyone a headache, "Although our five families have negotiated, there are still so many cultivators waiting outside to enter the ruins, so what should we do with them." Everyone said that it was very tricky, because there were not two cultivators outside. If the five families are enemies of them, they will definitely have a hard time in the future. As the saying goes: the evil wolf is difficult to defeat the dogs, and the good hand is difficult to fight and punch.
So the discussion began again in the tent, and finally after the unanimous agreement of the five families. Everyone thought that there must be a hidden mechanism in this ruin, so they first let other cultivators go in to test the water and find a safe passage. Of course, everything you find in it is your own. This kind of result is also good in Ling Feng's opinion, after all, everyone understands the truth of wealth and danger.
This concludes the meeting that decided the question of the ownership of the monuments. Several family members also returned to their respective camps, ready to inform the family of the results of the discussion. And Ling Feng had already arrived at Bai Li's side and told him about the conversation in the tent just now. Bai Li, who heard the result, beat those five families as bastards, and even used the lives of cultivators as stepping stones for them. Ling Feng told Bai Li not to be angry, after all, the world of cultivation is like this, the weak eat the strong.
The two of them began to rest, preparing for the opening of the ruins tomorrow. The second day came as they wished, and a lot of cultivators gathered at the gate today, because they had already heard about the preparations to open the ruins today last night. And I also heard the news that several big families were ready to let them go to the ruins. Of course, only Ling Feng, Bai Li and the people in the five families knew the inside story. So Ling Feng wasn't in a hurry.
Even if Ling Feng hadn't heard that conversation, he wouldn't wait for the ruins to open before entering. Because Ling Feng thought that Pu Yuan was a master of refining weapons during his lifetime, it was impossible for him not to understand the making of mechanisms, and this ruin must be full of life-threatening mechanisms. Ling Feng had originally intended to wait and see what happened. After hearing the plans of several people now, Ling Feng would not act rashly.
Around noon, the five families gathered at the gate and took out their own keys. When the five keys come together, a magical scene happens. The gate, which had been dull at all, suddenly shone brightly.
The five keys seemed to be attracted, and they were inserted into the five dozen keyholes. Waiting for their master to turn it around. The five men glanced at each other and appeared on the outside of the key. Grab the key, urge the true qi, and try to use brute force to open the door. As you can imagine, everything was in vain, and the door showed no signs of opening.
This made the five families very puzzled, and after a while, the Pu family seemed to think of something, and said, "I seem to have heard the legend of this ruin before, and I vaguely remember that it seems that it takes the five of us to turn these five keys at the same time before the door will open" So the five of them were ready to try this method.
So the five of them each found a key and used enough true qi in their bodies to hear one of them shouting, "Three, two, one." Finally, as the five people turned at the same time, there was a sound of gears behind the door. After a while, I saw that the door, which had not moved for a long time, slowly appeared a gap. Over time, the doors were eventually opened in their entirety.
When the gate was opened, two stone lions appeared in front of everyone. One left and one right are very symmetrical and neat. However, unlike in the past, the two stone lions are placed opposite each other. It's as if they're staring at each other.
Seeing this kind of sober people, they didn't dare to venture in easily for fear of something. After a quarter of an hour, at last someone came out of the lonely and walked towards the gate, saying as he went, "Since you don't want the treasure in it, then I will bring it for you, and please remember the previous promise." Just as they were about to pass, a golden light suddenly shot out from the eyes of the two stone lions, and the person who suddenly saw this scene was afraid that something would go wrong, so he cautiously squatted and passed between the stone lions. Realizing that he had passed through safely, the man breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to speed up to the ruins. The people who saw this scene thought that the stone lion had no mechanism, and they prepared to go to the ruins at full speed. At this moment, the man who had just thought he had passed safely was suddenly beheaded by a sharp blade that appeared at the door.
After seeing this scene, the people who were moving forward suddenly stopped. I'm afraid that I will be killed by that sharp blade. Even Ling Feng, who had experienced many battles, felt a chill in his erect neck, and in order to confirm it, Ling Feng also touched the back of his erect neck with his hand. One can imagine how shocking the visual scene this brings to everyone.
Bai Li, who had been shouting to enter the ruins with Ling Feng, said tremblingly, "Big brother, you can go in later, it's too terrifying if I don't go in." It's just a door, this end is gone, and I won't go in if I die" After finishing speaking, Bai Li retreated behind Ling Feng. Ling Feng also understood, after all, there were many mechanisms in this. In addition, Ling Feng was afraid that Bai Li's life would be threatened, and he would not be able to explain to Uncle Bai when the time came. So he agreed to stay with Bai Li.
