Chapter 185: The Iron Box
By the time Lin Xi, Uncle Zhong and the others arrived at the entrance of the cave, Xiao Yu'er and Ji Nan had already gone down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Xi took out the rope to help Uncle Zhong go down first, when it was the turn of Xiaolu and Xiaolan, Lin Xi scratched his head, the entrance of the cave can be two or three people at the same time for people of their normal size, but for the fawn that has not only been taller recently, but even the length has increased a lot, it is too difficult!
"Xiaolu, this mouth is too small for you to go down, you first look at Xiaolan from above, we will expand the hole a little and then you can go down." Lin Xi comforted the deer.
Xiaolan put away her aggrieved eyes, nodded, and bent her knees beside Xiaolan to guard.
After Lin Xi went down, he saw Uncle Zhong instructing Ji Nan and Xiao Yu'er to take down the five ripe gourds, "Be careful, don't touch the gourds with your hands!" ”
Xiao Yu'er and Ji Nan held a jade box that was one inch deep and two inches long in one hand, and a jade scissors in the other hand, and gently cut off the section between the gourd and the vine, and the gourd made a crisp impact sound and fell completely into the jade box.
Lin Xi's gaze stopped on a piece of vine, the end of the vine was still a little purple, she thought of the cat demon said that she used her hand to get the gourd, but the gourd turned into powder. If the cat demon hadn't stretched out his hand, there should have been six gourds on this vine! Lin Xi thought greedily and with some regret.
After a while, the five purple gourds were neatly placed in the five jade boxes, and by the light of the night pearl, Lin Xi found that the soft white lines on the gourd's body were gone!
"Uncle Zhong, what's the matter, why are the lines on it gone?" Lin Xi asked suspiciously.
Uncle Zhong nodded, "It's gone!" Those lines represent the vitality of the gourd, after the gourd is cut off, it is equivalent to death, naturally there is no vitality, and those lines will disappear! ”
Everyone knows.
"Why didn't Sister Xiaolan and Xiaolu come down?" Xiao Yu'er closed the jade box and handed it to Lin Xi, and found that she was the only one who came down.
"That's right, the hole is too small, the deer can't come down, you two go up first to expand the hole, and by the way, strengthen it, you see, every time a person comes down, there will be more clods of soil on the ground, how dirty!" Lin Xi said.
Xiao Yu'er and Ji Nan agreed in unison, and then pulled the rope back to the ground.
Lin Xi and Uncle Zhong also stood in front of the gourd vine.
"It is said that the wisteria gourd is usually born and destroyed with the best Jiajia vein!" Uncle Zhong said, and then changed the conversation and asked, "You already knew that there was a piece of armor here, right?" ”
Lin Xi nodded, although not everyone knows that the wisteria gourd is related to the best Zhenjia vein, but those who know must know the relationship between the two of them are born and die together, so Lin Xi can't hide it, and there is no need to hide it.
"Yes! We have long known that there are excellent nail veins here, and we also know that there is a wisteria gourd growing in this hole! Lin Xi said.
"Since it is a companion relationship, then, the source of the vein must be behind this stone wall!" Uncle Zhong stretched out his hand and nodded at the stone wall.
Lin Xi nodded and asked, "Then Uncle Zhong, can you see where the entrance is, and how can you get in?" ”
Uncle Zhong shook his head, frowned, and said, "That's all I know!" But I don't have that ability to see it! ”
The Zhenjia vein is already rare, and it is only available to several major sects on the mainland, so how to find the entrance to the vein source and how to enter it is also the secret of these sects.
"Hey, I thought I could find the entrance with you! Now it's like looking at a piece of meat in your bowl, but you can't reach it and can't eat it, it's really desperate! Lin Xi said with a smile.
In addition to being able to drill holes from above, the entrance is to find the entrance from the wisteria gourd, which is difficult to find because the entrance is not artificially made, but naturally formed.
In addition, this is Nanma Mountain, which is the jurisdiction of the Lei Yan Sect, and if ordinary immortal cultivators find such a vein source, the local sect will take back this vein source after paying the original owner a large sum of spirit stones.
Before there was no 'hatred' with Lei Yanzong, Lin Xi didn't want them to know that now that she was Lei Yanzong's number one 'enemy', it was even more impossible to hand over this place, she wanted to make a fortune quietly!
Uncle Zhong couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Since it's already in your bowl, what are you afraid of, is it possible to run away?" ”
Lin Xi blinked, "It wants to run, but unfortunately it doesn't have long legs!" ”
Uncle Zhong stretched out his hand and flicked Lin Xi's chestnut, "If it runs away, you should cry angrily!" ”
Lin Xi looked at him with wide eyes and said resolutely: "I won't let it run away!" Even if I run away, I'm going to get it back! ”
Uncle Zhong laughed 'hahaha'.
Lin Xi is actually not very worried, except for these few people who know the source of this vein, it is the cat demon, the cat demon suspects that there may be a chakra here, but he doesn't know that it is the best chakra vein, not to mention that he has been looking for a few days and nights and has not found anything, he will only think that only those few swallow fish are sweating the chakra, so Lin Xi is not worried that he will remember this matter.
"By the way, did you leave a mark for Xue Yi?" Uncle Zhong asked.
Lin Xi shook his head, "I didn't expect them to suddenly attack, I didn't have time!" However, you don't have to worry, Xue Yi gave me a contact jade pendant, I have already sent him an emergency signal, and he will know that we may be here when he sees it! ”
"Well, I don't know what he did, and he hasn't come back for so many days!" Uncle Zhong muttered that for Xue Yi, he treated him like a son.
"There must be something very important!" Lin Xi guessed. But it's too much to not contact and no information back for so long!
Uncle Zhong nodded, "Bring that gourd and I'll study it carefully to see what kind of magic weapon is suitable for refining!" ”
Lin Xi handed him a jade box, and instructed: "The toxins in your body are not clear yet, take a look and rest!" ”
At this moment, "Sister, get out of the way, we're going to start expanding the hole!" "It's the voice of a little fish.
"Got it! You're good to go! Lin Xi replied that she and Uncle Zhong were standing at the tips of the two ends, and the hole was in the middle of the shuttle.
After a while, a clod of earth fell and smashed into the puddle below, making a large splash.
And the cave was getting brighter and brighter, and the light of the night pearl was obscured by the dazzling daylight overhead.
Lin Xi saw that it was almost over, and the fawn, whether it was horizontal or vertical, could come in without hindrance, so he asked the two to stop, "It's okay, it's so big!" Wait, I'll go up and see! ”
After getting a response from the two, Lin Xi climbed up the rope.
Seeing that the entrance of the cave was expanded to the three-hundred-year-old phoenix tree, Lin Xi nodded, and with the help of the tree's shielding, he set up a few formations on it, which was both bright and not afraid of being discovered, very good!
"Go down first! I'll remove your footprints or something! Lin Xi looked at them and said.
The aura on Xiaolan's body is already a little unstable at this time, and after a day and night of absorption, it should also change.
"Ji Nan carries Xiaolan on his back and goes down first, and then Xiaoyu'er, you take Xiaolu down!" Lin Xi thought about it and said.
A few people had no opinion, and soon went down, Lin Xi also erased the footsteps of several people around him, and set up some formations on it, from the outside, he could only see the same ground covered with red leaves as the surroundings, and he would never think that there was a small cave underneath.
After Lin Xi went down, he saw that Xiaolan had been placed on the wall opposite the wisteria gourd, Uncle Zhong was pranayama, and Xiaoyu'er and Xiaolu were surrounding Ji Nan, seeing that he was using a spell to set up a stone platform around the small puddle in the middle, which happened to enclose the puddle in the middle. Looks pretty presentable.
*******
Two more days passed.
Xiaolan's advancement has reached the final critical moment.
Now no one dared to stand in front of Xiao Lan, and the huge aura that overflowed from her body hit the wall from time to time, and even the gourd vines on the opposite side were blown into a great arc.
Lin Xi, Ji Nan and Xiaolu's cultivation is low, and this aura is similar to coercion to them, so it is quite difficult to endure like this.
Fortunately, the little fish was in front of them and could resist this breath.
The most disappointing thing for Lin Xi was that Xue Yi had neither found nor any news so far, as if the world had suddenly evaporated, if it weren't for Uncle Zhong still here, Lin Xi really doubted that the previous memory was an illusion!
In the blink of an eye, it was ten o'clock in the middle of the day, and even the underground felt a scorching breath.
"This allows Xiao Lan to take it, which can increase the chance of advancement!" After Uncle Zhong finished speaking, he handed over a jade bottle that was only half the size of his palm.
"What is this?" Lin Xi looked at the jade bottle in his hand and asked.
"The essence extracted from fifty five-hundred-year-old ginseng and five-hundred-year-old purple lingzhi contains a very rich aura." Uncle Zhong thought for a while and said.
That's a good thing! Lin Xi cautiously held the small jade bottle and walked to Xiaolan's side.
"Xiaolan, open your mouth." Lin Xi guided Xiaolan to open her mouth, and then poured the liquid from the jade bottle into her mouth.
The essence was a transparent liquid, with the unique aroma of spirit grass, and Lin Xi could feel the spiritual power contained in it even if he stood a foot away.
After taking the essence, Xiaolan's inhalation of aura slowed down a lot, but the aura on her body became stronger, and the pressure also increased.
"Uncle Zhong, how long will she have?" Lin Xi asked.
It's slow! It's been three days!
"Don't worry, it will take a while! You can temporarily cultivate or find out where the entrance to the source of the veins is. Uncle Zhong glanced at her and said.
Lin Xi had no choice but to nod.
When it came to cultivation, at this critical moment, she couldn't calm down, and so did the few who followed her, so she had to focus on finding the entrance to the vein source from here.
This corner where the wisteria gourd is located happens to be a shuttle-shaped tip, of course, it is not a complete tip here, just similar. Behind the vines was a wall of rocks and mud only seven feet wide, uneven with the occasional protruding corners or pits.
Several people have no experience to learn from in this area, so they can only figure it out on their own, rummaging and fumbling around, hearing and seeing. Unfortunately, after looking at this wall, I couldn't find a possible entrance.
"Isn't there any entrance at all?" Xiao Yu'er became impatient after a while, "If you want me to say, just make a hole from the top, it will save you more trouble!" ”
Lin Xi glanced at him and said coolly, "How can you be sure that you won't be discovered by other demon beasts or immortal cultivators?" ”
Xiao Yu'er immediately hung her head and said, "No! ”
I didn't dare to be so ashamed!
"It's really not easy to find, but think about it, as long as we find it, we can dig up the armor inside, think about how cool it is to kill the opponent's magic weapon in the battle!" Lin Xi drew a big pie.
However, it is still effective, and the enthusiasm of the crowd has increased a lot in an instant.
At this moment, "Sister, come over and take a look, there seems to be something here?" The little fish shouted.
Lin Xi walked over when he heard the sound, and saw that the gourd vine was pulled aside by the small fish, revealing something underneath, and a black iron box was lying quietly on the ground.
"What is this?" Ji Nan also walked over and asked.
Lin Xi shook her head, when she first entered the cave, she only saw a row of plum blossom-shaped cat footprints under the dust, and there was no trace of a second person entering.
When Lin Xi saw this black iron box, he realized that he had missed a problem, this hole is semi-closed, if no one has ever come in, where did the swallow fish in the puddle come from, so the owner of this iron box is likely to be the same person as the owner of the swallow fish in the puddle!
"Let's open it first and see what's inside!" Lin Xi said.
This kind of unidentified box must not be directly touched by hand, who knows what will happen!
Who knew that Lin Xi hadn't figured out what to use to pad it, but he saw Xiao Yu'er stretching out his hand to get it, this guy who doesn't remember to eat or fight! Lin Xi thought with a headache.
"Stop! I got it! Lin Xi stopped the little fish and said solemnly.
Since you treat her as a sister, you must educate this child well when you have the opportunity.
Lin Xi took out the deep-sea ice silk gloves that he had "scavenged" from Bai Chi from the storage bag, put them on his hands, and carefully picked up the iron box.
The feeling of starting is not abnormal, to be precise, there is no sense of rejection from above.
Generally speaking, if the object is set up by the original owner, forbidden or something, outsiders will have a slight sense of rejection when touched, and this box does not have it, which means that there is no trace of spiritual power on the box.
Lin Xi placed the iron box in a brightly lit place, and several people looked around left and right.
Just now, under the vines, there is a shadow, so I can't see it very clearly. At this time, you can see that there are some intermittent lines engraved on the top of the box, and I can't see any meaning, Lin Xi reached out and turned the box over, revealing the bottom part, the bottom is very clean, without any patterns or lines, but it is very pleasing to the eye.
Lin Xi turned the box over again, and there was an iron two-finger-sized lock hanging at the junction between the lid and the box body, probably because it had been in a dark and damp place for a long time, and the rust had grown on it.
