Chapter 42: Speculation and the Laboratory
In the following time, Mu Yan followed the Jingyuan Dao Leader to the underground secret hall of the Demon Punishment Society through the secret door of the word "Qian", shared the harvest of this mission with the elders who came in a hurry, and after a little analysis with them, he said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, Mu Yan pulled the Jingyuan Daoist aside and told him alone that there were monsters passing by under the mountain, but Mu Yan didn't mention Mo Wuving, nor did he mention the weasel spirit, and even the direction in which the monsters came and went was covered up with "low strength, and didn't dare to follow", just said that he found traces of a large group of monsters passing by, and reminded the Jingyuan Daoist to pay more attention.
After hearing this, the old Taoist chief nodded, and also told Mu Yan to be more careful, and told him that if there was really a large group of monsters moving over there, Daoist Qingmu would definitely bring back the exact news after a few days, so that he could rest assured.
Although the old Taoist said this, Mu Yan could see that he didn't actually pay much attention to this matter, and it seemed that he just regarded this matter as a normal phenomenon approaching the monster's lair.
In this regard, Mu Yan didn't say much.
He originally planned to leave this world with him in his heart, after all, as long as he said this, there was a possibility of exposing Mo Wuvin and the weasel spirit.
But after some consideration, he still decided to tell the old Taoist alone, this is not to say how much he trusts the old Taoist, after all, these things have happened in Luojiazhuang in the past few days, and he can't even believe Yunlou and others, who are also tourists, how can they trust others?
He did this for two main reasons:
One is that Kiyoki Daochang will come back in a few days, and if he really finds out about that group of monsters, he chooses not to report it, although he will not be suspected at that time, but it is certain that he will be called over to ask.
Second, it was because the attitude of the Jingyuan Daoist towards him when he came back this time really made him a little wary!
It has only been seven days since he left Luojiazhuang, and the previous teams have taken more time than him, but when he came back, he "happened" to meet the head of the Jingyuan Dao at the corner of the street!
Hell yes, who would believe that Daoist Jingyuan happened to be here? As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old Taoist takes good care of him!
But this is very strange, although they have seen each other many times when they communicate with the Demon Sect, but the real in-depth exchange is only the last time Mu was invited, and no matter what, the friendship between them is not so good.
And judging from the situation last time, Daoist Jingyuan's care for him is not like a friend of the juniors, but more like the kind of care for the juniors.
It would be fine if Mu Yan was his disciple, but yes, but he was just a strange peer, Mu Yan didn't believe that Jingyuan Daoist was the kind of person who was overflowing with compassion.
However, if you think about it, it can actually be explained.
After all, Mu Yan's character in front of the Jingyuan Daoist was a helpless young man who had to rely on his half-jar of water Dao technique to work hard when he was only in his twenties.
What a person like him needs most now is a stable place to live, and a place where his strength can continue to break through, and the Pure View just perfectly meets these two conditions!
So it's very likely that the Pure Yuan Daoist wants to recruit himself!
Mu Yan felt that he had guessed some of the thoughts of the Jingyuan Daoist, but in order to rule out some bad possibilities, he still said the matter and tested the Jingyuan Daoist a little.
However, according to Mu Yan's observation, the Jingyuan Dao Chief did not have any special performance, at least not on the surface, as for whether the blood flow rate in the body changed, whether the heartbeat was accelerated, etc., Mu Yan, who did not dare to use his mental power to probe at will, did not know.
Bidding farewell to the head of the Jingyuan Dao, he walked with Yin Feng for a while and returned to his residence.
Mu Yan lit the oil lamp, let go of his mental power and checked the entire room inside and out, making sure that there was no one hiding around, and there was no more or less in the room, before he let out a long breath and put down the package on his back.
He wiped his sweat and lay on the bed, feeling a lot of relief in his body.
Along the way, he carried this weasel essence on his back for two whole days, and when he arrived at Luojiazhuang, he had to hide from everyone and pretend that I was not tired and I could run two more mountains, and now he was physically and mentally exhausted.
But he knew it wasn't time to rest!
Mu Yan got up from the bed with his tired body, walked to the position near the door, and moved a vase made of white porcelain.
Then he put his hand on the ground, and summoned a rich dark element mixed with magic to rush towards the ground, while his mouth hissed softly, and whispered in the serpent language: "Cunning pretender, bones sleeping in the ground, dark elves are messengers, please answer my call!" ”
As he spoke, he tapped his hand on the ground three times.
Soon there was a sound of a search from underground, as if something was running underground!
Mu Yan stood up and stepped back, and the next moment, the ground quietly recessed from the middle, and a hole with a radius of one person appeared in front of him!
A row of torches was lit one after another from the burrow, illuminating a neat stone staircase that stretched into the depths.
Mu Yan probed his spiritual power into it again, and only after finding nothing abnormal did he put the heavy "clothes" behind him on his shoulders and walked down.
As he walked down, the hole behind him began to shrink automatically, and if you looked inside, you could see a long white bone around the edge of the hole, and as it continued to spiral inward, the hole slowly shrank until it disappeared completely.
I think the sound of Suosuo just now is the sound made when this white bone hovers and moves!
Obviously, this is an alchemy item, an alchemy item made by Mu Yan himself, and it can be said that it is a collection of Mu Yan's highest achievements in trap science and alchemy so far!
In order to make this alchemy item, Mu Yan used a complete snake demon bone, a chameleon monster's skin, a cat demon's eyes as the main material, several kinds of mixed monster blood, jade, and a mixture made with herbs instead of boiling as auxiliary materials, and then consumed a full thirteen days before finally succeeding in making it!
Mu Yan gave it the name "Fraud Cellar", and it was an alchemical item specially made to hide his underground laboratory!
It can be said that after making this alchemy item, Mu Yan is almost bankrupt.
However, the effect is also very significant, as long as the hole is not opened, Mu Yan will not be able to find the abnormality of the ground even if he sweeps it with his mental power, and even if he uses normal strength to swing a heavy weapon to hit, it will make a dull sound like the ordinary ground, and there will be no depression or empty sound.
It's the perfect hidden door by all accounts!
Walking down the stone staircase, which was not too long, Mu Yan stepped into his own exclusive laboratory.
It was a modest basement, about the same size as the hut above, covered with gravel on all six sides, surrounded by flaming torches on all four walls, and below the torches was a row of four circles used to control air circulation, eliminate sound, monitor the surroundings, and sense self-destruct.
To the left is a cast iron test bench, and to the right is a long table filled with bottles, jars, and glassware.
Directly opposite the entrance to the passage was a long wooden shelf on which some materials were placed.
Such a place, although still much more rudimentary than the Hogwarts laboratory, can already be carried out with some basic experiments.
Mu Yan put the "clothes" on the test bench, lifted the transformation spell, and the dying weasel spirit immediately appeared in front of him.
Its chest was still rising and falling slightly, but there was no sign of waking up at all, I don't know if it was an illusion, Mu Yan felt that its coat color seemed to be more yellow than before.
After thinking about it, Mu Yan still took out the Book of Memories to record this question, and plucked a handful of hair from the weasel spirit's stomach and pasted it below as a specimen.
Then next, he took some prepared monster blood, as well as some metal powder, bone meal, and some herbal powders mixed together to refine the materials through special methods, and began to carve the magic circle around the experimental table!
Circle after circle of magic circles spread outward around the center of the experimental table, complex graphics, texts and symbols were all over it, and the materials in Mu Yan's hand quickly ran out, he took a bottle from the bookshelf and continued to carve it, and then used it up again, and went to get it again...... It wasn't until the fourth time that the materials were retrieved that the entire magic array was completed.
Mu Yan stood up and wiped his sweat, two hours had passed at this time.
Due to the change of materials, he had to change or change the position of some of the symbols and patterns in the magic circle, which also led to the consumption of experimental materials increased, and the area of the magic circle was twice as large as it was in the Harry Potter world!
But fortunately, the effect has not been affected!
He took out four finger-thick iron rods and passed them through the palms and soles of the weasel spirit's hands, and then the four iron rods were inserted into the four blank circles of the formation.
The weasel spirit on the stage moved, as if it was stimulated by severe pain, but its eyes were still closed.
Mu Yan glanced at him, and when he found that it still showed no signs of waking up, he ignored it, and took a step back and activated the magic circle.
Mana Input,
spiritual resonance,
There seemed to be a faint light flowing through the magic circle, and there was a slight fluctuation in Mu Yan's spiritual power, and he knew that the magic circle had been successfully activated.
"Next, I can finally let this guy wake up with confidence and boldness!" Mu Yan said secretly in his heart, with a relieved smile on his face.
"But before then, I have to rest......" Then, feeling the exhaustion that seemed to come from his soul, he said to himself helplessly.
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to study this weasel spirit well, but his body couldn't stand it anymore, and even the powerful soul looked a little tired under the two-hour formation carving, and now he had to take a good rest!
Hanging a bag of high nutrient solution on the weasel essence again, Mu Yan turned around and left the laboratory.
