Chapter 193: Buddha Beads and Swords
Behind the main building of Chengtianfu, near the foot of Huashan Mountain, there is a huge cave, the structure is similar to the array cave of the Bai family in Wucai Town, first go straight to the inside, walk for a few minutes, and soon the whole ground is sunken, revealing a big pit like a crater, which is constantly steaming outward, Li Changjing stood on the edge and looked down, and found that the pit was very deep, estimated to be dozens of meters, there was a stone ladder next to it that stretched straight down, and the red fire was faintly visible at the bottom, as if it was still an active volcano.
"This place is the forbidden place of our Chengtian Mansion, called 'Heavenly Furnace', except for me and Shen Tunan, even Xiaoyi can't come in at ordinary times." Wang Zhengyang explained.
"Heavenly Furnace?" Li Changjing muttered to himself, and suddenly, he felt an extremely friendly and familiar aura in the depths of the big pit, which made the fire essence in his body cheer and jump, and began to swim wildly along the veins of his whole body, like a happy child, waiting to welcome his old friend whom he had not seen for a long time.
"The Buddha beads are really down there!" Li Changjing felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, this kind of almost substantial throbbing was far from being comparable to the three fakes in Xu Huairou's hand before.
Xu Huairou also sensed it for some reason, she stepped forward and whispered: "The Buddha beads are under this pit, there are three in total, and the breath is exactly the same as the Buddha bead I had at the beginning." ”
Li Changjing nodded and said to Wang Zhengyang: "Your master is trapped under this?" ”
"That's right." Wang Zhengyang nodded and said, "The heavenly furnace here can produce the purest flame, and we usually forge materials below. ”
Li Changjing said strangely: "Huashan is said to have no active crater, so how did the fire below form?" ”
Wang Zhengyang hesitated: "I won't tell you, the flame is emitted by those three Buddha beads." ”
"According to the master, he had obtained the three Buddha beads decades ago, and he used a sword as an inducement to draw out the flame from the Buddha beads.
"It's a pity that in recent years, for some reason, the flames emitted by the three Buddha beads have gradually decreased, and now there is only a small cluster, dozens of times weaker than before, and the master's forging technology is limited because of this, so he was forced to retire and handed over the Chengtian Mansion to me and Shen Tu Nan."
"This matter, except for Shen Tu Nan, only I know about this matter in the entire Chengtian Mansion, and even Xiao Yi has never known about it."
Li Changjing frowned, he didn't expect that the three Buddha beads turned out to be the source of the flame in the Heavenly Furnace of Chengtian Mansion, and the reason why Yang Jingtian could become a forging grandmaster was largely due to the credit of the Buddha beads.
"You just said that the Buddha beads were released because of a sword?" Li Changjing suddenly remembered this.
"Yes, that sword weighs 10,000 catties, no one can lift it yet, the master once said that it is possible that the huge pit in front of you that is dozens of meters deep was chiseled through by that sword, and it has been formed for more than a thousand years."
"Come, this is the Fire Fighting Pill, which my master specially asked Lord Lu Yun to refine." Wang Zhengyang took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Li Changjing, and explained: "The Fire Fighting Pill can protect your body from the high temperature of the flames below. ”
Li Changjing raised his eyebrows, poured out a blue pill from the bottle, sniffed it carefully, and probably knew the ingredients, which was nothing more than a comprehensive refining of some extremely cold attribute medicinal materials, and the means were very clever, and it was indeed from the hands of the great grandmaster.
After Li Changjing confirmed that this fire pill was non-poisonous, he put it in his mouth and swallowed it, and suddenly a warm and cool feeling spread all over his body, which lifted his spirits.
"You eat one too." Li Changjing handed the medicine bottle to Xu Huairou.
"I don't eat it." Xu Huairou didn't believe Wang Zhengyang and refused on the spot.
"It's okay not to eat, but you can't leave me more than a meter." Li Changjing returned the medicine bottle to Wang Zhengyang and admonished. He has the essence of fire and can assimilate others together, Xu Huairou knows this, as long as he is by his side, there is no need to be afraid of any fire.
"Without further ado, let's go down now." Wang Zhengyang put the medicine bottle back into his sleeve and walked down the stone stairs first, followed by Li Changjing and Xu Huairou.
I have to say that what Wang Zhengyang said before is indeed reasonable, as it continued to go down, Li Changjing found that this big pit was flat and oval, straight down, and the cave wall was smooth and flat, as if it had been pierced by a super big sword.
The further down it goes, the higher the temperature becomes, and the crimson flame at the bottom becomes clearer.
After about seven or eight minutes, the three of them jumped down from the stone stairs and stepped on the ground steadily, the bottom of the pit was very spacious, the size of two classrooms, but the light was very dim, only in the far southwest corner, there was a huge high platform like a stove, the high platform was obviously transformed from a huge rock, and there was a long sword on the top, and the hilt and tip of the long sword were supported by a large stone, as stable as Mount Tai, as if it had been unchanged for countless years, even if the fire rose from below, and the long sword was completely wrapped in it, The red flames, the astonishing high temperature, actually did not burn the long sword red, the sword body was as bright as cold jade, sharp and incomparable, only a little larger than the two fingers combined, slender legs like green sandalwood, and the proportions seen on TV were completely different, standing upright, I was afraid that it could reach nearly one meter.
Next to the long sword, a huge cross was placed, Yang Jingtian, who was thin and thin, was tied to the cross, facing the position of the long sword, the blazing flames had already curled his beard into a ball, his skin was red and black, and he was obviously burned extremely badly.
"Master!" Wang Zhengyang shouted miserably, hurriedly ran up to the high platform, Li Changjing and Xu Huairou followed, and found that Yang Jingtian was still hovering a snow-white snake above his head, and the tail of the snake poked into Yang Jingtian's mouth, I don't know how deep it went.
"Shen Tu Nan, this brute!" Wang Zhengyang's eyes were red, his eyes were about to split, his fists were clenched, and the whole person was almost crazy. He stood a few steps away from Yang Jingtian, looked at the white snake above his head, and said hatefully: "This is an ice snake produced in the extreme north, which can freeze people's minds and extract memories from the brain, Shen Tu Nan actually used this snake to forcibly ingest the secret in the master's brain!" ”
