Chapter 37: The Tomb of Pangu
As soon as he took two steps forward, Cheng Yanjin suddenly turned around and retreated, and then bent down and churned over the pile of dead corpses on the ground. Although it is not very respectful to these dead people to do this, but since they have already wandered to the underworld, the things on their bodies naturally cannot be wasted, there is a saying, it is shameful to waste it!
What Cheng Yanjin didn't expect was that he rummaged through all the corpses and didn't find anything of value, it stands to reason that this group of people can't be so clean, as if they have been looted once.
Standing there and thinking for a while, Cheng Yanjin finally understood, after a long time, those wrinkled old Taoist priests not only killed people without blinking, but also were veterans of killing people and overselling goods, just looking at the fact that people had killed people in this short period of time, and the property on their bodies was also looted cleanly, that speed, that degree, worthy of being a senior master! It seems that I still have a lot to learn!
Standing at the entrance of the dark cave, Cheng Yanjin took a deep breath and walked in with a determined face. Originally, he still thought that if he could find something good outside, he would go back to his home, and no longer join in the excitement here, so as not to accidentally leave his life behind, but he didn't expect to work in vain, it seems that he can only enter this ancient tomb to try his luck, I hope to pick up some leftover leaves!
Touching the stone wall in the cave and walking about three zhang away, Cheng Biting Jin was surprised to find that there was a little glimmer of light in front of him, and hurriedly walked a few steps to him, looking at the top of the cave inlaid with a night pearl the size of a bull's eye, Cheng Biting Jin's eyes turned red, and he took the plate axe and cut down the travertine next to the night pearl.
I saw a little spark flashing in the dimness, and the plate axe that focused on the internal force only scratched a shallow trace on the top of the cave, so hard on the dog's day, which one of the losers put so many night pearls here, and made it so strong, looking at the bottomless passage, Cheng Yanjin only felt itchy all over his body, this feeling of only being able to see and not moving was really worrying.
Finally, after a few more attempts, he found that with his current strength and endurance, it was impossible to cut even a single night pearl from the top of this cave, so Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to continue walking towards the depths of the cave with a sad face.
The cave twisted and turned, and it felt as if it was spiraling towards the bottom of Mount Tai. The further you go inside, the more pressure you feel around you. Finally, after walking an unknown number of distances, Cheng Yanjin finally saw the light in front of him.
Quietly poking out half of his head, Cheng Yanjin found that there was an extremely large space in this cave, and in the brightest place, Cheng Yanjin saw a scene that surprised him. In the middle of the space, a huge altar stood there, and around the altar, there were nine extremely large night pearls that shone brightly on the real cave.
Looking at those night pearls, Cheng Biting Jin drooled, those nine night pearls, each of them is huge, Cheng Biting Jin estimated that it would take four adults to circle this night pearl with his arm. It seems that the night pearls I have seen along the way are probably the leftovers of these nine night pearls.
About twenty zhang in front of the altar, there were three people there bowing their heads to discuss, Cheng Biting Jin looked closely, but it was the three people who came in before, looking at their attentive appearance, Cheng Biting Jin wondered in his heart, isn't there any old man Zhou sighed, Jin Huanzhen and other four people, why don't you see them, there is no fork in the passage to enter here!
He was wondering in his heart, and suddenly a crisp voice sounded in his ears, "This little brother, why did you stop, go quickly!" Hearing this, Cheng Yanjin's hair suddenly stood on end, and before he could turn around to defend, the void in the distance had already shouted, "Which Taoist friend is over there?" The poor road void is polite! ”
Cheng Yanjin secretly complained in his heart, and was about to retreat, but was pushed behind his back, revealing his entire body. Looking at the ill-intentioned eyes of the three people in the void, Cheng Yanjin turned his head with a wry smile, only to see that the golden ring was really looking at him with a smile behind him, and that old man sighed, You Niaoti and Ding Jiuzhong were walking out of the passage behind them.
Na Ding Jiuzhong said as he walked, "Boy, even if you have this ability, you dare to come here to join in the fun, none of those people who died outside are higher than your cultivation, and they are really newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers!" If it weren't for your kid to explore the way ahead for us, Dao Ye would have taken care of you a long time ago, and a stunned young man like you is simply wasting food in this world! With your IQ, I'm afraid it's a little bit smarter than a pig. It's a shame that it's been a great year! ”
Hearing him say this, Cheng bit Jinden and understood that he had become a substitute for the dead, leading the way for this group of murderous bastards in front of him in vain, but they followed safely behind, fortunately, there was no hidden weapon along the way, otherwise he would have died unjustly! When he saw these people kill people and enter the cave, he thought that he was hiding and was not discovered by these people, but now it seems that it is completely wishful thinking on his own, and the martial arts cultivation of this group of people is not at all what he can imagine.
Seeing the smiling Jin Huan really licking his lips, as if he was reminiscing about the delicious taste of human blood, Cheng Biting Jin shuddered, and couldn't help asking, "Since you want to find someone to lead the way, why don't you let the people who were killed by you outside lead the way, but look for me?" Isn't it better to use your own people? ”
Hearing his words, Ding Jiu was extremely embarrassed when he re-ascended, even the You Niaoti who didn't speak much and the smiling Jin Huan really seemed unnatural, only that Zhou Lao sighed and suddenly laughed, "What's so strange about this, the speed of these three fools killing people is too fast, and when they think of leaving someone to lead the way, they will already be dead, otherwise do you think that with your little ability, you will let you come here alive!" ”
When a few people were talking as they walked, they had already come to the front of the Void Son. Seeing them, Void Zi's face changed, and then he suddenly smiled, "It turned out to be a few Dao brothers, you came just in time, the three of the old masters and brothers of this altar have just studied it, and found that the short twenty zhang from here to that altar is covered with various formations, these formations are with the strength of our others, but I can't go there safely, but I don't know if there are any good methods?" ”
"Oh, I don't know what formation is so powerful? It can stop us from waiting! Nayou asked. The Void Man turned around, "Your Excellency, please look!" As he spoke, he threw his weapon forward.
The space in front of it was empty, but when the weapon entered within twenty feet of the altar there, a scorching flame gushed out from the ground and sprayed on the weapon, and when the fire disappeared, everyone watched as the molten iron that fell to the ground changed color. Such a strong and domineering flame is really unstoppable and irresistible.
"The old man and the others found out from the ancient books that this earth fire array is only one of the one hundred and eight formations that surround this twenty zhang range, and this power is not the greatest. According to ancient records, if you want to reach that altar safely, unless you are destined to do so, or you can master all the changes in this hundred and eight formations, you can find a way to survive in this place of death.
And this range of 20 zhang, even with the internal force of you and me, can not jump over, halfway there is no object that can borrow force, but I don't know what a few people think? Looking at You Niaoti and the other four people, the void was full of expectations, although these people must have come to grab the treasure, but the treasure is still on the altar over there, they can only see it but not touch it, and the void is also looking forward to these people being able to come up with a good way to take out the treasure, and then everyone is fighting for life and death, fighting for the treasure.
That You Bird was tired and groaned for a while, and he couldn't think of any good way, this formation has always been the strength of the hexagram in the Daomen, but unfortunately none of the people present were born in the hexagram, not to mention that even the most knowledgeable person in the hexagram may not want to master all the one hundred and eight formations here. For a while, everyone was in a predicament.
Everyone was looking down and pondering, the golden ring really looked at Cheng Yanjin beside him, and suddenly a thought flashed, "Just ask this kid to explore the road first, if he dies, see if the corpse can be saved, if there is still something left, try to use his corpse as a springboard to see if you can cross over!" ”
"That's an idea, boy, blessed are you! Uncle Ding needs you to contribute a little humble strength! Go ahead, Uncle Ding will give you a ride! Na Ding Jiu smiled and didn't wait for Cheng Yanjin to resist, grabbed his left hand and threw Cheng Yanjin out. only heard the sound of 'plop', and Cheng Biting Jin's body fell heavily to the ground! After a long while, Cheng Yanjin got up in fright, looked at the altar that was still fourteen or fifteen zhang, and looked back at the void and the others.
Seeing Cheng Biting Jin fall safely on the ground without triggering any formation, Jin Huanzhen and the others were overjoyed, and after a while, they saw Cheng Biting Jin standing in place and shivering, but he refused to move forward, Jin Huanzhen raised his eyebrows, "Boy, you'd better go to that altar!" This radius of twenty zhang is full of formations, no matter which direction you go, the formation will be triggered, and then you will be a dead end. If you dare to turn back, your aunt and grandmother will let you taste the taste of life is worse than death! If you stand still, then wait and starve to death! ”
Listening to her words, Cheng Yanjin hesitated for a while, what this murderous female demon said is good, she is the weakest one here, and a few people over there, no matter who they are, can kill themselves with one finger, and in addition to the shortest distance between the two roads of the road and the altar, the distance in the other two directions is longer, and the danger is naturally more.
With his eyes closed and his head stiff, Cheng Biting Jin took the first step, it's okay, thank God, I'm taking a step, it's okay, Bodhisattva bless, keep taking a step, it seems that the Jade Emperor is my maternal uncle, and it's still fine. Several people from twenty zhang away were stunned as they watched Cheng Yanjin walk all the way to the altar cautiously but safely, and they were all stunned, could it be that there was no formation on the road behind from there?
A very anxious worship beside the void son immediately exerted his strength under his feet, jumped towards the place where Cheng Yanjin had just fallen, and looked at him standing there safely, and the remaining six people became excited, it seems that there is no formation in these twenty zhang, it is really great news. The worshipper was even more excited, and hurriedly raised his left foot and walked towards the altar. I only heard a rumbling sound, and under the gaze of the Void and the others, the offering was blown into a ball of pulp.
Looking at the offering of the dead body, looking at the frightened Cheng Biting Jin next to the altar, the five people including the Void Zi only felt that the world was so big, it was really strange, and the world was so wide, it was really a blessing and a curse!
