Chapter 17: The Short Sword

Looking at the mountain road winding up in the night, the black mountains and forests look particularly gloomy.

Shen Pang followed closely behind the mouse, the speed of the mouse was not slow, and after a while, he turned his head back and stared at him, obviously urging him to speed up.

It's just that the more he goes up, the more worried and frightened Shen Pang becomes, he is not afraid of "ghosts", but afraid of encountering villains like Xie Zhuosheng, or like "The Master of the Moon Gate", who kills people without blinking, if they do, it is estimated that they will not be tired of killing such a small character as him.

Tan Mouse didn't seem to think about that, and went up the mountain vigorously, although he had only been there once, Shen Pang also remembered the path very clearly, and the ability to find the mouse to remember the road was very powerful, not wrong at all.

When he was about to reach the pit where Zhang Laoba was buried, Shen Pang stopped and carefully sensed the movement, the longer he practiced in the Cave Heaven Realm, the stronger he felt the beauty of the Cave Heaven Realm's spiritual consciousness enhancement!

When the realm of the cave heaven on Qingcheng Mountain was first formed, Shen Pang tasted the effect of spiritual consciousness on the senses of the body, which was wonderful that could not be described in words.

When he was on the mountain, his spiritual sense could sense movement within ten meters around his body, and now, in just a few days, his spiritual sense can sense a distance of about fifteen meters.

There was no one here, only bugs in the grass and birds perched in the trees.

The little head of the probe mouse flashed in the pit where Zhang Lao Ba was buried, Shen Pang felt the message sent to him by the probe mouse in his mind, it was not very clear, the thoughts in the mouse's mind were a little vague, but Shen Pang felt very strongly the idea of the probe mouse asking him to dig a pit!

There's something down there!

Liu Xuan said that the rat is a spiritual creature, and he has a feeling for treasures by nature, so he was brought here to dig a pit tonight, could it be that there are any treasures in this pit?

Hasn't Zhang Laoba dug an iron box out of the front?

It's a pity that I didn't see what was in the iron box.

Since he came, Tan Rat has a strong idea of asking him to dig a pit, and there are no other people here, so dig it.

Shen Pang groaned for a moment, then went to the place where Qi Jian and Black Mamba threw the shovel last night, found a shovel out, and dug down at the location where the mouse was guided by his thoughts.

The place pointed by the probe is the pit dug last night, the new soil is quite easy to dig, Shen Pang has saved a lot of effort, but obviously, digging down will inevitably dig up Zhang Laoba's body.

Zhang Laoba's body was dug up without much effort, and it was only buried for a day, and before it began to decompose, Shen Pang held his breath and pulled Zhang Laoba out of the pit, and then continued to dig below.

In the middle of the night, he went to the mountains to dig a pit, and there were corpses, Shen Pang didn't have much to fear, but he also admired himself, in fact, his thoughts were mainly on digging the pit.

Digging to the bottom, the shovel touched the hard soil, which was the deepest part of the hand dug by Zhang Laoba's hand, and he never dug down after digging out the iron box.

The probe rat was jumping on the edge of the pit, and Shen Pang sensed its excitement, as if he sensed the breath of the "treasure", but his spiritual sense did not sense anything.

Keep digging.

It would be laborious to dig any further, but before he could dig a few more times, Shen Pang's shovel touched a hard object with a "dang", and his hands were a little numb from the shock.

Shen Pang was also excited, there is really something down here, it's a little strange, why did the person who buried the thing bury two pieces? What was in that iron box that they dug up yesterday?

Shen Pang didn't have the leisure to guess what was in the iron box dug up yesterday, so he hurriedly worked hard to dig up the soil, and then planed for a while, carefully digging out the hard things he touched, just like the iron box he saw last night, it was also such a big iron box.

Since it's the same box, it's hard to figure out that the one you dug up is really useful, and the one they dug up last night was probably something that covered up a shot.

Zhang Laoba also lost his life for that thing, and the spicy Xie Zhuosheng didn't expect it, and the more mysterious Moon Gate Master probably didn't expect that the thing he snatched from Xie Zhuosheng was a fake.

However, the contents of the iron box may not necessarily be fake, but the person who buried the thing deliberately placed the current iron box underneath, and the meaning of hiding and more precious is obvious.

Shen Pang picked up the iron box, which was not big, about forty to fifty centimeters in length, twenty centimeters in width, ten centimeters thick, and weighed about four or five kilograms.

After pondering for a while, Shen Pang made a decision, and quickly climbed out of the pit, pushed Zhang Laoba's body into the pit, and then buried it in the soil to restore it to its original state.

The cry of an owl pierced through the night sky, looking terrible and terrifying, Shen Pang Lingzhi summoned the probe mouse to jump on his shoulder, bent down and picked up the iron box and "fled".

Regardless of whether practicing the Dongtian mantra can save his life or not, but at least the benefits to the body are still obvious, Shen Pang ran back all the way back with the iron box, and did a lot of hard work before digging and burying pits, where did he do it when he was sick before?

After returning to the hotel room, Shen Pang only gasped a little, and rested for a while before moving the iron box under the lamp to inspect.

The probe dragged the pillow towel over and lay motionless on the bedside table, staring at Shen Pang with a pair of black eyes to inspect the iron box.

The iron box is no different from the iron box I saw last night, it is rusty, and there is a small rusted iron lock hanging on the lock, Shen Pang grabbed the iron lock and twisted it a few times, but it didn't twist it.

Only after trying it himself did he know the difference between him and Xie Zhuosheng, Xie Zhuosheng understated that he broke the iron lock with his hands, even if it was a rusted lock, ordinary people could not pinch it with their hands.

There were no tools to use in the hotel room, Shen Pang glanced left and right, thought about it, moved the iron box and erected it, put the iron lock side at the foot of the wooden chair, and moved it tightly, and with a "bang", the rusted iron lock was destroyed at once.

Although the lock was opened, Shen Pang suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart, Xie Zhuosheng, Zhang Laoba, the master of the Moon Gate, these mysterious Jianghu people are fighting openly and secretly for this thing, I'm afraid none of them thought that they would fight to the death, fight for their heads and blood, but they were profited by him Shen Pang, a nobody!

But Shen Pang was not sure that there was "something" in the iron box, and tried to adjust his breathing evenly, so he carefully removed the lid of the iron box.

There seemed to be an invisible layer of "qi" in the box that blocked Shen Pang's spiritual sense, so he couldn't apply it to the situation inside the box, the lid was slowly opened, and it was wrapped in a layer of red silk cloth, the same as the situation he saw last night, but there was a difference, that is, the iron box he got back was wrapped in red silk cloth and there was no "charm" on the surface.

Odd!

Shen Pang groaned, but anyway, the box was so small, and he didn't worry about a green-faced and fanged zombie suddenly jumping out of it, since it was locked and sealed and buried in the ground, it was impossible to have poisonous snakes and poisonous insects or anything inside.

In general, it's better to be careful.

Shen Pang gently lifted the red silk, untied it very carefully, and saw that it was actually a box inside, but it was not iron, but wooden, rectangular, small and exquisite, and the wood grain faintly flashed with golden stars.

The wooden box was not locked, Shen Pang took out the small wooden box and shook it slightly, so that he couldn't hear any sound inside.

Shen Pang glanced at the mouse, its small eyes were also staring tightly, and the little thing was also quite looking forward to what was inside.

When you open the rectangular wooden box, you will see a 40-centimeter-long "sword", or "dagger", shaped like a sword, but long and short like a dagger.

The iron box outside is rusty, but the short sword inside is bright, there is no trace of rust, the hilt of the sword is inlaid with a bead the size of a pigeon's egg, and there are a few words on the side of the bottom of the blade connected to the sword handle, the words are ancient seal characters, but this is not difficult for Shen Pang.

I looked at it, and on one side it was written "Infinite Mystery", and on the other side was "The Sword Has a Spiritual Rhino", according to the literal meaning, it should be "The Sword Has a Spiritual Rhino" in the front, and "The Mystery is Infinite" in the back.

What does it mean that the sword has a spirit and is infinitely mysterious?

Shen Pang stared at the short sword and thought hard, this text message was taken out from the open box, and he couldn't sense any "qi" in it, and after Xie Zhuosheng opened the iron box last night, as soon as he revealed the charm, Shen Pang sensed the extremely powerful "breath" at that time, why did this short sword not have any breath?

Could it be that the contents of the box that Xie Zhuosheng opened were really useful treasures? But I can't figure it out, useful things are buried above, and useless things are buried below, and this is not how to deceive people, right?

Holding the short sword under the lamp and looking over and over again, Shen Pang turned his head to look at the mouse and said, "Brother Mouse, you took me to dig such a thing back, and they all said that you are a treasure-loving spiritual thing, I don't see any treasures in this thing, can you tell me?" ”

The probe rat squeaked twice, Shen Pang was a little helpless, he didn't see anything from its thoughts, although the probe rat is a spiritual creature, but it is not an intelligent creature in the end, it is still impossible to think like a human, and it is not clear why it found this short sword.

Unable to see any doorway, Shen Pang sighed, put the short sword back in the wooden box, the iron box was heavy and rusty, so he didn't want it, and threw it away when he went out in the morning.

The wooden box is not big, so you can stuff it into your backpack, and after you pack it up, you can lie down on the bed and practice the mantra of Dongtian.

In the morning, when he was sleeping soundly, the door was opened vigorously, which scared Shen Pang to sit up, and after seeing that it was Liu Xuan, he exhaled and said: "You scared me to death, didn't you say that it would take a few days to do things, why did you come back in one day?" ”

Liu Xuan unscrewed the lid of the mineral water in his hand, drank the water in one go, wiped his mouth before saying, "Shen Pang, Yang Ke is home!" ”

Yang Ke...... Coming back? Shen Pang was stunned, sat up and asked him while dressing, "Wasn't she taken away by the Lord of the Moon Gate?" ”

"Here's the problem!" Liu Xuan slapped his thigh and said, "We thought wrong, Xie Zhuosheng was also fooled, it is said that unless the master of the Moon Gate does not make a move, he will never leave a living mouth when he shoots, and he will never show mercy to his subordinates, why did he let Xie Zhuosheng go?" And ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Xuan lowered his voice a little: "The dark sand of the Lord of the Moon Gate is extremely poisonous, and wherever it appears, there will be no people, animals, plants and trees, I went to the mountain again this morning to check, and there is no damage to the place where the Lord of the Moon Gate Dark Sand has appeared, and the grass and trees are as usual!" ”

Shen Pang was surprised: "Brother Liu, are you saying that the master of the Moon Gate is fake?" ”

"Absolutely fake!" Liu Xuan replied without hesitation, "We were all frightened by the name of the Lord of the Moon Gate, and so was Xie Zhuosheng. ”
