Chapter 142: The Ancient Monks

The brightness of the light was not intense, it was a little grayish, like the light through a black curtain.

Qi Hufei followed the direction of the light source, about a few hundred meters, where there was a horizontal ditch, and the ditch was full of fallen leaves.

Anyone who often goes deep into the mountains to collect medicine or hunt knows that you can't step on this kind of ravine in the old forest, because you don't know how deep the ravine is.

Some ditches look flat, but when you step down, you may disappear. Because it could have been a deep stream, but the ditch was filled with fallen leaves for thousands of years.

Qi Feifei first investigated the vicinity, and then flew into the air, checked the surrounding situation, and made sure that it was not a trap set by others, before falling back to the ground.

He stood on the edge of the ditch and silently recited the mantra to ward off the wind, and a small whirlwind rolled up in the flat ground, rolling up the fallen leaves in the ditch, and the more they rolled, they gathered into a huge ball of fallen leaves in the air.

As soon as Qi Hufei pushed with both hands, the wind ball moved to the side, and the whirlwind suddenly stopped, and the leaves collapsed to the ground, forming a small hill-like pile of leaves, and a large pit appeared in the leaf ditch.

Qi Hufei gently floated into the pit, and at this time he had not yet reached the bottom of the ditch, but the fallen leaves below had all rotted into mud and could not be swept away by the wind.

He looked down and found that it was still dozens of meters deep from the light.

This ditch is deep enough!

He took out the Shadow Bearing Sword, his divine sense locked on the ball of light underneath, and used the Imperial Sword Technique to shoot the Shadow Bearing Sword Qi, cutting a large circle with a diameter of about three meters on the ground around the light, and then shredding all the soil in the circle with the sword qi.

Then, with the method of moving mountains and soil, he lifted it lightly with one hand, and all the broken soil under it floated up.

Qi Feifei drew a Tai Chi circle in front of him with both hands, and the dirt all gathered together, and the ground above it became a mound, side by side with the mound made of fallen leaves.

He fell gently to the bottom of the ditch.

At this time, there was no need to use the spell of Seeing Long Zaitian, because the divine sense clearly saw what was in that light.

That's a person?!

Qi Hufei felt strange, if it was a person lying at the bottom of the ditch, he must have been dead for many years.

But how can a dead man shine?

If it was the magic weapon he was carrying that was shining, what he saw should not be a human figure.

He peeled off the last layer of floating soil, and sure enough, he saw the white bones buried in the soil.

Judging from the skeleton, this person was very tall before his death, and his height was more than two meters.

But his proportions look very incongruous, with a large skull, long arms, and short leg bones.

More like a gorilla than a human.

Next to the skeleton was a short sword and a brown leather pouch.

The hilt of the sword had decayed, and only the rusty blade remained.

The brown sac was completely rotten, merging with the surrounding mud and leaving only a shape, but there was clearly something bulging inside.

There are swords, there are storage bags, this is a monk!

Qi Feifei gently dug open the rotten skin, most of the contents were also rotten, and it was completely impossible to see what it was, only one bead was intact.

The beads are sky blue, pure and translucent after being wiped clean, with some faint flashes of brilliance, but not obvious.

Qi Feifei studied it for a long time, and he didn't know what it was.

He put the beads away and went to get the dagger.

Hey!

Qi Hufei exclaimed softly.

This short sword is only about two feet long, but it is very heavy, I am afraid that there are not hundreds of catties, I don't know what materials are made of.

Qi Feifei picked up the short sword and wiped it clean, and when he looked closely, the sword body was dark all over, and it was crawling with dark purple mottled rust.

Could it be Darksteel?

Qi Hufei remembered that when he introduced various refining materials in the world in "Introduction to Immortal Law", he had talked about Xuantie.

Dark iron is black and heavy, rigid and tough, and is a good material for forging swords and weapons, which was very common in ancient times.

But how many years has it been here to make the black iron rust?

The oxidation rate of dark iron is very slow, and there is a saying that "a layer of rust in 10,000 years".

According to the thickness of the rust on this sword, it must have been placed here for at least 100,000 years.

Could it be that this guy is an ancient monk from 100,000 years ago?

Qi Hufei looked at the white bone in front of him again.

When you look closely, you can see that there are many slight cracks on the white bones, almost all over the body.

If it hadn't been shattered by geological movements in the later period, it would have meant that he had suffered extremely serious injuries during his lifetime.

When I used the dragon to observe the field technique just now, the whole light was in the shape of a person, which means that it was not only this dark iron short sword and the bead of unknown origin that were valuable here, but also this white bone.

Qi Feifei pinched a phalanx bone and picked it up, and carefully sensed it with his divine sense, and found that the bone was delicate and tight, with a smooth surface, and it also condensed the essence of this person's life.

Grinding these bones into powder is an excellent auxiliary material for refining magic weapons.

And this human bone is so complete, if you take it back and study it carefully, from the texture of his bone and the essence condensed in it, it is even possible to pour back the exercises that this person practiced before his death.

Although this bone cannot be compared with the Buddha's bone relics, it is already an extremely rare good thing.

Qi Feifei judged that this person had at least been a seven-rank heavenly immortal cultivator before his death.

Seven Heavenly Immortals, Xuantie Sword, 100,000 years ago...... What happened on Kirin Mountain?

Qi Feifei hesitated for a while, but still put the finger bones back.

No matter what happened at the beginning, people have been lying here for an unknown number of thousands of years, and you still dig people out and scatter their bones and ashes, it is a bit too much to say.

He put the sword and beads into the mirror, then stood up and bowed deeply to the bones, and said:

"Presumably, the seniors don't want to see the dark iron rust and the pearl dusty, so I took the short sword and beads. If you return to Qilin Mountain in the future, you will definitely burn incense paper to your predecessors. ”

With that, he floated up, returned to the ground, and with a gentle wave of his hand, refilled the soil he had just dug up. Then he silently recited the mantra to ward off the wind, and a whirlwind arose again in the flat ground, and brought the leaves of the great pile of fallen leaves back into the ravine.

He directed the whirlwind to blow back and forth on the nearby ground for a while, until everything was back to nature and nothing unusual could be seen.

Qi Hufei silently remembered the terrain and location here, and then turned on to see the dragon in the field, and flew the Chengying Sword at a low altitude in the Qilin Mountain.

However, he has not found any treasure since.

Thinking about it, the Duanmu family has been looking for the relics of the Golden Saint Palace Niangniang in Qilin Mountain for so many years, if there are really any treasures in the mountain, they must have been dug up by them a long time ago.

Treasure hunting or something, I didn't have much hope, and finding the bones of a monk from 100,000 years ago was already an explosion of luck.

The most important thing is to find the unicorn egg.

That's a good thing worth a water-repellent bead and 100,000 gold coins!
