058 Underground Village
When the three of them stepped through the door, they were speechless by the sight in front of them, and there was a village built deep into the ground inside the mountain!
Below the entire village, there are houses on the flat stone road, and even like a village in the world, there is land outside the house!
Above the village, the semi-circular roof of the cave is inlaid with nine illuminating stones the size of a round basin, illuminating the otherwise dark village as bright as day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are also more than a dozen caves on top of the surrounding mountain wall, and you can go up a ramp-like platform.
Chu Miao probed out his divine sense and found that there was a formation in front of each cave, and the higher he went, the higher the level of the formation.
In the middle of the houses, there is even a square, which looks like it can accommodate hundreds of people.
There is a nine-story ancient tower standing on the square, the shape is peculiar but exquisite, and the style is completely different from the current and recorded tower type!
Chu Miao was the first to recover from the shock, looked at the strange village in front of him, and said to the two people who were still dumbfounded:
"I don't think there's any other aura here except us, and even the formation mechanism hasn't noticed it. Let's go in and have a look, be careful. ”
Shen Xingzhou also came back to his senses and nodded, and walked forward with Chu Miao.
Gu Nianning followed behind the two of them in a daze, kept looking around, and said in a loud voice: "What kind of place is this?" How is there no place that is not eccentric? ”
"I don't know, maybe it's too old to be recorded. Let's go to the square first and see if we can find any clues from the tower. ”
The tower did not match the style of the square and the entire village, as if it had been moved from somewhere else, so Chu Miao suggested that he explore it first.
Shen Xingzhou and Gu Nianning both agreed, and followed Chu Miao towards the square, and in a place where this situation was unknown, the three of them did not plan to check separately.
The ground of the square is a little higher, and it is made of a single piece of unrecognizable stone, and there are some strange patterns engraved on it, I don't know if it is a formation.
As soon as they stepped on, the whole square suddenly became bigger in the eyes of the three of them! It seems to be able to accommodate thousands of people!
"Space Formation!" Chu Miao was surprised, "It's actually a lost space formation, what kind of place is this?" ”
Gu Nianning and Shen Xingzhou were also shocked, everyone had only seen the description of the space formation in the ancient books.
Even ancient books more than 30,000 years ago say that the space formation has been lost, so it means that this place existed at least 40,000 years ago.
After the square became larger, Chu Miao found that the tower in the middle was still as tall as when viewed from below, standing firmly in it, and it seemed to be unaffected by the formation in the slightest.
When I stepped forward, I found that the tower, which shone with soft aura, was not an ordinary building, but a tower-shaped spiritual treasure!
Chu Miao had only seen the spirit weapon, and the spiritual pressure of this ancient tower was much higher than that of the spirit weapon, and it stood there, which also made people feel a little oppressive.
"This tower is... Spiritual weapons? No... It's Lingbao! Shen Xingzhou and Gu Nianning also discovered the abnormality, and the three of them stood a few hundred meters away from the tower, not daring to move forward.
"It's really weird here, the underground village, the Lingbao Ancient Tower, and the space formation, but the passage that comes in is not protected by the formation mechanism at all."
The more Chu Miao thought about it, the more strange she felt, "And I don't know if this place existed tens of thousands of years ago, but there is no trace of anyone entering the passage and stone gate." ”
"That is, I remember that the oldest history books of the sect are only recorded 35,600 years ago, and no matter how old the information is, it is just a few bits and pieces." Shen Xingzhou said, "The shape of this ancient pagoda is fundamentally different from any record, at least it is a spiritual treasure from 40,000 years ago, why hasn't anyone taken it away yet?" ”
"Let's take a look around first, we can't think of anything here." Gu Nianning proposed: "Let's explore the houses and caves here first, and then go in." ”
Chu Miao and Shen Xingzhou nodded, left the ancient tower, and walked towards the outside of the square.
On the huge square, Chu Miao and the three of them looked very small, and they walked for a long time before they reached the edge.
After stepping out of the square, Chu Miao looked back and found that the square had returned to a size that could only accommodate a few hundred people, and looked at the complex formations carved on the ground, and sighed.
"This is most likely the formation pattern of the space formation, but it's a pity that my cultivation is too low, I can't understand it, I can't even remember it." Chu Miao said regretfully.
Gu Nianning knew Chu Miao's dedication to the formation, and comforted: "This place will not run away, and you will remember it again when your cultivation is high!" ”
The three of them searched around the village, completely forgetting their exhaustion, and had to go in and look at every house.
"Come and see! There's a pill shelf here! Gu Nianning was in a room and shouted to the two people outside the room.
There were eight pill bottles of different colors scattered on the pill shelf, and Chu Miao asked the two of them to hold their breath and opened a bottle of emerald green pill bottles.
After using the object control technique to lure out the elixir, it was found that the elixir had become a black powder, and it was useless in the slightest.
The three of them were not surprised, the higher the level of the elixir, the longer it could be stored, and the fifth-order super-grade elixir could only be stored for less than 10,000 years.
Unless it was a seventh- or eighth-order pill or even higher, it would definitely be useless.
Chu Miao continued to look at the other pill bottles on the medicine shelf, some were like white jade, and some were so black and translucent, but they couldn't see the materials.
Gu Nianning didn't let go of the black powder, but put the powder back into the pill bottle, Shen Xingzhou saw this and asked, "What's the use of pretending this?" Isn't it broken? ”
Gu Nianning covered the stopper of the medicine bottle and replied: "I took it back to my grandfather for study, although it is broken, it is not necessary that some materials can be analyzed from the powder." ”
"Then put all this together, it's useless to us." Chu Miao finished reading the other pill bottles on the shelf and handed them to Gu Nianning together.
When the monks go out on an expedition in a group, they will mention how to distribute the treasures inside, generally more work and more reward, the meritorious ones are selected first, and the rest is distributed equally.
Chu Miao and the three of them are friends, but they don't need to talk about these rules, they just need to take what they want.
Gu Nianning saw that he had never seen these pill bottle materials, so he said to the two: "Maybe this pill bottle will have some special use, we still divide it equally, I can use my own pill bottle for the medicine powder." ”
As he spoke, he took out a few of his ordinary jade bottles, filled them with pill powder, and left two medicine bottles he didn't know, giving Chu Miao and Shen Xingzhou three each.
After collecting it, the three of them continued to search each house, and found nothing but a few tables, chairs, and bed cabinets that crumbled into powder at the touch of a touch.
Although it is a "village", in fact, there are only about 100 households, and the three of them quickly walked around here.
Chu Miao looked at the cave on the mountain wall and said to the two: "It seems that there will be no gain below, let's go up and explore the cave mansion, the formation outside seems to be about to dissipate, it should not be difficult to enter." ”
Gu Nianning and Shen Xingzhou both agreed, I don't know what age the Ancient Monk Cave Mansion is, maybe it's all treasures, and I feel excited when I think about it.
The trio descended the ramp up to the platform on the second level, a total of nine caves that surrounded the village around the mountain wall.
Seeing that the formation was only a third-order soundproof warning array that was about to dissipate, and there was not even a defensive array, the three of them chose three rooms and investigated separately.
Chu Miao chose the far left of his hand, looked at the cloth method of the ancient formation, and after writing it down, he took out the scimitar and slashed at the eye of the formation, and the formation that was about to dissipate was easily broken.
Seeing that there were no other defensive formations and mechanisms inside, Chu Miao guessed that the people who lived here must be extremely familiar and trusted, otherwise how could there only be such a simple formation outside the monk's cave.
After stepping into the cave, Chu Miao found that there was only a small room inside, except for a stone bed inlaid on the stone wall facing the entrance of the cave, there was only a small shelf on the left side.
On the shelves were a few pill bottles and a magic weapon without aura.
Chu Miao put away the pill bottle and was about to pick up the short sword magic weapon to check it, but saw that as soon as the object control technique was cast, the short sword turned into a pile of powder and fell on the shelf.
Seeing that there was nothing else here, and knocking on the mountain wall and not finding the darkness, Chu Miao came out of the cave and raised his knife to attack the formation of the second room.
The interior of the second room is exactly the same as the first, except for a small table with a dresser and dressing chair.
There was nothing on the table and in the drawers, only the vase of tea set was still placed on the small table, and Chu Miao guessed that most of them were the residence of female cultivators.
Chu Miao entered the third room, and there was still nothing in it, leaving only a stone bed and a small table.
Gu Nianning and Shen Xingzhou also finished checking the cave mansion they chose, and after going to the small slope on the third floor to meet, they shook their heads at the same time and said that they had found nothing.
The three of them found nothing, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed, thinking that how could the monk's cave house leave some jade slips or spiritual objects, but who knew that it was all empty.
But after all the people came, it was impossible to give up the search, and the three of them continued to walk up the ramp towards the platform on the third floor.
