Chapter 954: The Predecessor's Mansion
Originally, Fang Yang wanted to use the walkie-talkie to notify Qin Tian, but there was no signal in this stone cave, Fang Yang didn't get a response from Qin Tian after calling a few words, so he had no choice but to give up.
The stone cave is about three meters high, the width is also two or three meters, the cave wall is very smooth, the whole stone cave is also a regular arch, and the top of the cave is inlaid with a night pearl every other distance, exuding a bright light. Obviously, this is a man-made stone cave, and it is not a natural formation.
Originally, Fang Yang thought that Xiaohuo had found a spirit stone scattered in the ground like he had done last time in Tianheng Mining, but now it seems that this is not the case, it is very likely that this is the location of a senior monk's cave.
Fang Yang and Gu Ruoxi walked forward for a full two miles, this stone cave still seems to have no end, every ten zhang or so, the top of the cave will be inlaid with a night pearl, and the cave wall is as smooth as a mirror, even if modern scientific and technological means to open a tunnel, it is impossible to be so regular.
Fang Yang couldn't help but secretly speak, this senior monk didn't know what kind of cultivation it was, the cave mansion was actually built under such a deep pool, and it seemed that the means were very clever.
Fang Yang was also cautious, for fear that there would be some traps in this stone cave.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful.
All the way up, he was still holding Gu Ruoxi's soft, and because of the nervousness, his palms were slightly sweaty. However, Gu Ruoxi was full of curiosity and looked back and forth from time to time.
After walking for a while, stone steps began to appear in front of me.
Xiaohuo flew over to investigate, and said to Fang Yang and Gu Ruoxi:
"I didn't see any danger, come here!"
So the two of them followed Xiao Huo up the stairs, this walk was about an hour, Fang Yang couldn't remember how many stone steps he had walked, there were several turns on the way, and there were even many forks in the road, and finally even Fang Yang couldn't remember the direction.
Fortunately, Xiaohuo has a keen sense of aura, so with it leading the way in front, Fang Yang doesn't have to worry about the danger of getting lost.
Finally, after the last stone staircase was completed, a stone gate appeared in front of it.
The stone gate is about one zhang high, and it is engraved with intricate patterns, giving people a feeling of simplicity and heaviness. Even just standing in front of this stone gate, Fang Yang felt an invisible coercion.
Fang Yang stepped forward and gently pushed the stone door.
The stone door did not move.
Fang Yang increased his strength a little more, but he was still unable to push a single bit.
"Fang Yang, you try to infuse the aura and go in and have a look." Xiaohuo carefully observed Shimen for a while and then said.
Fang Yang nodded, put his palm on the stone door, and then activated the "Chaos Decision", and streams of spiritual energy slowly came out of his palm, seeping into the stone gate.
Suddenly, the mysterious lines on the stone gate began to emit bursts of light, and Fang Yang felt that his aura was rapidly draining along those lines, and he had to increase the speed of the aura output.
Gu Ruoxi didn't even blink her eyes, she couldn't take her eyes off the magical scene in front of her, and her heart was full of expectations for cultivation.
With the input of aura, more and more areas of the lines on the stone door were lit up, and gradually these lines began to connect, faintly emitting a faint light. Fang Yang felt a little struggling, the stone gate seemed to be a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing his aura.
There was no turning back from the bow, Fang Yang had to run the "Chaos Decision" with all his strength, until the aura in his body felt a little unsustainable, Fang Yang did not hesitate to take out a low-grade spirit stone from the storage ring, and while absorbing the pure aura in the spirit stone, he increased the input.
Finally, all the lines on the stone door were lit up, and then these lines seemed to come to life, and the light on them flowed, gradually forming a very mysterious pattern, and slowly rotating.
Finally, a soft thrust came, and Fang Yang involuntarily withdrew his palm. Then, with a rumbling sound, the stone door slowly rose up.
It's done! Fang Yang's face showed a hint of joy.
"Yay! Fang Yang, you are amazing! Gu Ruoxi also cheered, and the look on her face was even more excited than Fang Yang.
After all the stone gates were raised, Fang Yang, Gu Ruoxi, and Xiaohuo walked in unison.
After passing through the stone gate, they came to the stone chamber that was three feet square.
The top of the stone room is inlaid with a number of night pearls, so that the entire stone room is delicate, and the dust has been sealed for an unknown time, but the indoor air is still fresh. Moreover, as soon as Fang Yang stepped into the stone room, he felt that the concentration of spiritual energy here was actually very high, even less than the effect of using the lower grade spirit stone to arrange the spirit gathering array.
If you cultivate here, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can successfully break through the foundation, Fang Yang said in his heart.
"Ahh Someone ......" As soon as Gu Ruoxi raised his head, he immediately exclaimed in surprise, and grabbed Fang Yang's arm tightly, very nervous.
The stone room is not large, and the cultivator's cave is not as complicated and luxurious as that in mortal homes, with only a stone bed, a stone table, and a few stone piers, and the whole room is clear at a glance.
Therefore, Fang Yang also saw at a glance that there was a young woman in palace clothes sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.
However, Fang Yang was not as nervous as Gu Ruoxi, because he could feel that although the woman was lifelike, she had long lost a trace of vitality. If she guessed correctly, she should be the owner of this stone chamber cave, but I don't know which era it is a senior monk, but now she has long since died.
A cultivator's body does not decay for hundreds of years after his death, and it is not a great thing, so Fang Yang didn't make a fuss, he just patted Gu Ruoxi's hand lightly and said:
"Don't be afraid, she should be dead."
"Huh? How can it be? I think...... I think she seems to be just asleep......" Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but take a bold look at it, and then said.
"If you don't believe me, let's go and see." Fang Yang said with a smile.
Gu Ruoxi hugged Fang Yang's arm tightly, and followed Fang Yang to the stone bed with some nervousness.
I saw that the woman looked like she was only in her thirties, of course, her actual age could not be examined, just like Zhong Yue, who was three hundred years old and did not die, still like a middle-aged person.
The woman was wearing a set of pale cyan palace clothes, her hair was coiled high, and her hands were holding a strange handprint, although her eyes were closed, and there was no trace of life on her body, but she still revealed a faint coercion, giving people a very noble feeling.
Gu Ruoxi stared at the woman for a long time, and couldn't help but reach out to probe her snort. Fang Yang hurriedly grabbed her and whispered:
"Hey! This is a senior monk, don't be rude! ”
"I just want to see if she's really dead and has no malice!" Gu Ruoxi stuck out her tongue and said.
"That's not going to work either!" Fang Yang said solemnly, "How can the body of the senior monk be moved? And I wonder if this senior will have any arrangements to prevent others from destroying her body! What if you move around and are in danger? ”
Xiaohuo looked left and right, and said:
"Girl, Fang Yang is right. We should still maintain due respect for the deceased. ”
"I see, I'm sorry!" Gu Ruoxi didn't talk back to Fang Yang, and whispered.
Fang Yang knew that Gu Ruoxi was just a child's heart, but in fact, he didn't have bad intentions, so he didn't criticize her, took her hand and said:
"Let's kowtow to this senior! Anyway, it was we who broke into her cave. ”
"Hmm!" Gu Ruoxi nodded.
There were two futons in front of the stone bed, Fang Yang and Gu Ruoxi knelt on the futon, and Xiaohuo also stood aside, and the two front paws were placed together in the shape of an arched hand.
Fang Yang said respectfully:
"Senior, my friend and I were chased and killed by that salamander, and we accidentally broke into the senior's cave mansion, disturbing the peace of the senior, but we have no malicious intentions, please forgive the senior!"
Gu Ruoxi also said crisply:
"This senior, I didn't mean to offend just now, you don't remember the villain, don't worry about me!"
After speaking, the two respectfully kowtowed three times together.
When Fang Yang was kowtowing, he felt that something seemed to be in the futon that was slapping him. After kowtowing, Fang Yang straightened up, reached out and pressed on the futon, and found that there was a hard thing, and the edges of the futon had been separated.
So Fang Yang reached in and grabbed it, and a thin piece of jade was taken out by him. Gu Ruoxi leaned over curiously and asked:
"What's that?"
"This is a jade slip used by cultivators to record information." Fang Yang said, "It should be left by this senior, I'll investigate first." ”
After speaking, Fang Yang sank his mind into the jade slip, and suddenly, a cold voice sounded in his mind:
"You can go to Qingyu Valley through the Seven Stars Trace Array, find the entrance to the waterhole and pass the stone gate test set up by me, and your cultivation should have at least reached the foundation building period. And it's rare that you didn't destroy the night pearl in my cave along the way, and you were also respectful to my body, and your character barely passed. ”
Fang Yang's heart was shocked when he heard this. What exactly is the "Seven Star Mystery Array" in the mouth of this senior? He just followed Xiaohuo's guidance all the way here, could it be that there was still a formation on the outskirts of the valley?
Fang Yang thought about it and immediately understood, Xiaohuo had relied on his instinctive sense of aura to lead the way here, if he was replaced by someone else, it was estimated that he would have been circling around the periphery all the time, and even become the food in the mouth of the monitor lizard.
This is originally a scenic spot, and modern scientific and technological means are so developed, if there is no formation protection, it would have been discovered long ago. And if someone found out about such a beautiful valley before, where would it be now? It has long been developed into an attraction.
The cold voice continued:
"Since you have passed my test, you are also destined, and I will not let you go home empty-handed......"
As soon as the words fell, information poured into Fang Yang's mind.
Of course, the amount of information was not large, Fang Yang did not feel the slightest discomfort, and found that there was an extra mysterious handprint in his mind, as well as some explanatory information.
Subsequently, there was no sound, obviously only this information was left in this jade slip, this senior didn't even introduce her identity, cultivation, and experience, thinking that she must have been a cold and arrogant person when she was alive.
"How's it going?" Gu Ruoxi saw that Fang Yang had put down the jade slip, and hurriedly asked.
Xiaohuo also looked at Fang Yang eagerly, it obviously felt that there was a strong aura fluctuation here, but it just couldn't find it, and the predecessor cave mansion couldn't be destroyed at will, so it was also anxious to scratch its ears and cheeks.
"I've got some useful information, let's try it first!" Fang Yang said with a smile.
Then he bowed deeply to the young woman in palace clothes, and said:
"The juniors have thanked the seniors for their generous gifts!"
After speaking, Fang Yang came to the only stone table in the stone room, and after carrying the "Chaos Decision", his hands played out one after another mysterious seals, and a trace of aura flashed into a glimmer of light in the stone room to gather into a delicate and complex pattern.
Immediately after, Fang Yang gently clasped his hands together, and then pressed them on the stone table. The patterns formed by the aura were all submerged into the stone table.
There was a slight click, and a two-foot square part in the middle of the stone table slowly parted left and right, revealing a boxy stone box
