Chapter Seventy-Eight: Surprise and Joy
Chapter Seventy-Eight: Surprise and Joy
Holding the Bright Silver Star Stone in his hand tightly, Wang Jifei stared vigilantly at the big hole that suddenly appeared in front of him.
Half a minute ago, after the stone wall clicked and the cave shook for a while, the big hole appeared in front of his eyes. The imprint of the little snake left in the big cave outside also appeared clearly in Wang Jifei's mind.
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. Why did the cave shake, and why did the sensory shield suddenly disappear?
Could it be that it is the ghost? Wang Jifei raised the star stone in his hand in confusion, the bright silver luster was like mercury, except for exuding a rich star power, it was no different......
The imprint in the big hole did not transmit back the dangerous emotions, Wang Jifei picked up the torch on the side and followed in.
Whose generosity was this, who actually carved out a stone chamber in the interior of the mountain? Touching the smooth stone wall, Wang Jifei had a faint guess in his heart.
There is not one stone room, but five rooms, three large and two small. Three large rooms are arranged side by side, with a small room on each side at the back. At this time, Wang Jifei was in the big stone room in the middle, carefully looking at the corpse in front of him.
It was a human corpse, each bone glowing softly like white jade, and the corpse sat on a stone bed, surrounded by fragments of clothing that had not yet completely decayed.
Wang Jifei can now be sure that this is a cultivator's cave mansion, but he doesn't know if this is the powerful cave mansion that Murong Wuji said. The bright silver star stone that he dug up seemed to be part of the Cave Mansion's prohibition. With the passage of time, the prohibition has been somewhat broken, and the energy in the cave will leak to the porcupine king along the stone crack that accidentally appeared. And what he did happened to be a fatal blow, completely crushing the arrangement of the master of the cave.
The clothes on the corpses are all rotten like this, so naturally there will be no more monsters and beasts still alive in the cave.
He bowed to the corpse and said offended. Wang Jifei began to search for the treasures left by his master in five houses. The large room on the right hand seemed to be the place where the master of the cave was alchemizing, and a huge bronze alchemy furnace was placed in the center. The books on the stone cabinets around them had long since turned to ashes, and even the finished pills in the bottles and jars had long since become crumbs.
The huge Dan furnace was bigger than Wang Jifei's pine furnace, and he could only move it with all his might. It seems that this three-hole Dan furnace has nothing to do with him, and after touching the Dan furnace a few times unwillingly, Wang Jifei came to the small room on the far right.
The small room was also full of ashes after the decay of various debris, and he took out his fangs to remove the thick layer on the ground, and Wang Jifei only found a few pieces of ore. These ores are a bit of a chicken rib, and the quality is good, but there are too few.
The large room on the left hand is the master's bedroom and study, which I have already seen when I pass by, and they are all ashes.
Is it so poor? Wang Jifei really wanted to ask about the corpse. Is your old man just a treasure of the three-hole Dan furnace?
The three-hole Dan furnace should be a first-class treasure, and it must be priceless outside, but what is the use of not being able to take it out yourself. Did you let yourself peel a porcupine to cook soup and drink?
The corpse and stone bed in the middle have been inspected by Wang Jifei several times, all kinds of dust have also been cleaned by him unwillingly, and the bed and bookshelves in the bedroom have also been completely dismantled by him.
There are still gains, but this harvest is really a little little. Buried in the ashes on the bookshelf is a Zhixing Stone, which tells the origin of the owner and some observations. This cave mansion is the powerful cave mansion that Murong Wuji said, the powerful surname is Li, and he is here to retreat and attack the Heavenly Mandate Master. After repeated failures, after exhausting years of accumulation, I felt that my longevity was short, so I deliberately left this Zhixing Stone for those who were destined.
Zhixing Shi also specifically mentioned that there was a mechanism in bed, and some of his remaining belongings were in it.
The mechanism had already been violently cracked by Wang Jifei, and there was a small space ring in it that made Wang Jifei happy. However, there were only more than twenty medium-sized star stones, more than two hundred ordinary star stones, and a bunch of large and small beast soul stones in the space of three or four cubes. It looks like a lot, but these are not worthy of the identity of a dignified peak master at all.
The exercises and alchemy techniques in the Zhixing Stone are only first-class.
You're too poor, don't you, please come out and explain how you transported such a big Dan furnace in, if you say that you carried it on your shoulder, even if I lose, and your weapon, don't tell me that you also use a heavyweight weapon that can attack and defend Dan furnace...... Wang Jifei, who was not greedy enough, complained angrily in his heart.
Senior, if you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust, the indignant Wang Jifei began to fight the idea of the owner of the corpse. Picked up the fangs and went to the small room on the right, referring to the location of the small room on the left, and dug down hard.
After digging a few times, a star stone with the same spatial attribute was dug out. There is probably a front in the back, and there can be up and down left and right in the front. There are so many small rooms, and there will inevitably be big rooms.
As long as the effort is deep, the iron plate can also be sharpened into a needle. As long as the pickaxe is swung well, the walls can also fall. Stimulated by the grape-sized star stones, the five rooms are full of pits.
For every missing Star Stone, the remaining prohibition of the Cave Mansion is weakened by one point. In the end, there were already many cracks in the wall, and Wang Jifei didn't dare to dig it casually, he didn't want to be buried alive in it.
Standing in the middle of the room, Wang Jifei suddenly discovered a problem. There is no exit here, and the big hole I came in is definitely not an exit.
Looking at the corpse leaning against the smooth stone wall, Wang Jifei couldn't figure out how he got in. The cave must also have a door, you can't say that you have to close the door, there will be no door.
Wang Jifei, who felt that there was still something missing, checked the five rooms again, but still did not find the exit. If you don't have an exit, you can't get out, anyway, I have a big hole to get out.
But what's going on with the wall behind you, there's not even a hole, haven't I been digging it? Wang Jifei, who was full of resentment, couldn't get used to seeing the corpse and leaned comfortably on the complete stone wall, ready to give it a sound.
The porcupine king's fangs were raised high, smashed down hard, and dug out a star stone in two or three clicks. Wang Jifei, who let out a sigh, wiped the star stone in his hand and prepared to withdraw, in fact, he knew in his heart that he couldn't dig anymore, and if he dug again, it would collapse.
It's one thing to know, it's another thing to do, otherwise humans wouldn't have invented the beautiful term "regret medicine". At this time, Wang Jifei, who was hiding in the Dan furnace, regretted that he was cheap, why did he have to be angry with a dead man.
Generally speaking, things like prohibitions, formations, and inscriptions are symmetrical, even if sometimes there is asymmetry in a large area, and it is symmetrical in a small area, and the central axis or center of symmetry must be very important.
The room where the corpse is located is the central axis of the five rooms, and the stone wall behind it is the core of the entire prohibition, which is of course very important.
When the entire cave was shaking, Wang Jifei didn't have time to go out at all, so he could only hide in this Dan furnace.
The rumbling sound outside the furnace had stopped for a while, and now only the small stones that were rattling down from time to time, crackling and hitting the outside of the furnace.
Even if the breath method is used, the small amount of air in the Dan furnace can no longer support it. Wang Jifei, who felt more and more stuffy, thought to himself. A quarter of an hour or so has passed, and there should be no more secondary landslides.
Pushing the lid of the furnace, fortunately it was not compacted, and the air outside the furnace poured in from a gap of three or four centimeters, and it finally won't suffocate anymore.
The stones outside the furnace were tens of thousands of catties, and Wang Jifei pushed it up several times, but he only expanded the gap in the lid to the extent that he could barely poke out his head.
If you save some dry food on your body, you can last for four or five days, and if you want to move away the stones, you will definitely consume a lot, so it will definitely not last long.
Wang Jifei estimated that his time was only three days, and if he couldn't go out in three days, he would either starve to death or be trapped to death.
The sigil snake has been released, and it is still circling around, but it has not found an exit at all, and all the surroundings have been sealed.
Now to save every ounce of strength, Wang Jifei withdrew the little snake, held a star stone and began to recover his strength. The top priority is to get out of this alchemy furnace first, but the surrounding area is full of stones, and his strength is not enough at all.
Whenever there is calm in major events, Wang Jifei forces himself to calm down......
Accompanied by a terrible cry from the Wind Eagle King, Wang Jifei spat out a mouthful of blood, leaned weakly on the stone, and looked at the four blue-gray beast soul stones on the ground with joy.
This is the Beast Soul Stone left behind after the disappearance of the Wind Eagle King.
Just now, Wang Jifei risked being buried alive and summoned a large, six, small and seven Wind Eagles outside the Dan furnace. Although they came out for less than half a minute, they managed to carve out a space of less than two cubic meters outside the furnace with their own strength and huge bodies.
The killing of the natal beast will affect the subsequent growth, but Wang Jifei can't care about it so much, fortunately, his adventure is successful.
Picking up the four Eagle King's Beast Soul Stones, Wang Jifei swore in his heart that he would never let his natal beast die at will in the future.
The death of the Natal Beast made Wang Jifei's head feel like it had been sawed open, and after taking out the mask of the Sleeping Soul Beast and putting it on, he could barely concentrate on thinking about his next move.
