Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Pile of Stones
After chasing the treasure hunting mouse Edgeworth for a long time, the mouse had no intention of stopping. Lin Caiping was a little anxious, if he ran down and deviated too much from his predetermined route, then he would not be able to take out the pill requested by Wu Zhen in a hurry. Just when Lin Caiping hesitated to order the treasure hunt rat to stop, the treasure hunt rat stopped in front of a pile of inconspicuous rocks and squeaked, looking very eager. Could it be that there is a treasure in this mess of stones? Lin Caiping dropped the flying sword and was about to remove the stone to see what was going on, when the treasure hunting rat hurriedly bit the corner of Lin Caiping's clothes and pulled her backwards.
"Is there danger in this mess?" Lin Caiping stopped his movements and asked the treasure hunting mouse, the treasure hunting mouse squeaked, Lin Caiping sensed its meaning, and it was really not as simple as it appeared on the surface. But what kind of danger is it? If you take an adventure for a treasure that you don't know what it is, this is not what Lin Caiping is willing to do, it is better to take the prepared elixir, if there are other things, you can still benefit.
Lin Caiping was a little annoyed, just thinking that the treasure hunting mouse had recognized the master, but he didn't expect to obey his orders now. Just about to lose his temper with the mouse, the treasure hunting mouse circled around Lin Caiping's feet twice and walked towards the side of the pile of rocks. Lin Caiping thought about going along and taking a look, only to see that the treasure hunting rat came to the other side of the pile of rocks, and escaped into the ground under a stone, and I don't know what it was doing, maybe there is a way to solve the danger of this pile of stones, so it doesn't hurt to wait for a while.
A bird may be tired of flying and wants to rest on this pile of rocks. As soon as the bird landed on it, a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck the bird quickly. Before he could utter a wail, the poor bird had already turned into a pile of ashes, and a slight wind blew it, and the ashes drifted away with the wind, and the stone pile returned to calm without any change, and it was still the stone that looked unremarkable. At that time, if it wasn't for the treasure hunt rat to hold him, he was afraid that he would have been struck to ashes by the lightning. This stone pile looks inconspicuous, but it is so powerful, it must be a formation laid by a certain master.
At this moment, Lin Caiping was really interested in the items in this stone pile, since there was such a powerful formation, it couldn't be just that the predecessors had nothing to do, and there must have been something important placed in it. This treasure hunt rat knows where the loopholes in this formation are, and maybe he can take out the contents of it. Thinking like this, the treasure hunter jumped out of the dirt with a small jade slip in his mouth. This jade slip looks very quaint, and you know that it has a long history.
Lin Caiping picked up the jade slip, released his divine sense, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this ancient jade slip is used in the same way as the current jade slip, and it can be viewed with divine sense. What is recorded in this jade slip is like a mantra, but I don't know what it is for, it should be a mantra to open this formation. Lin Caiping followed this jade mantra and released the aura on the rock. Just opened the entrance of the formation, and did not consume too much of Lin Caiping's aura, and the mantra was finished. The originally chaotic rocks rose into the air one by one, spinning in the air.
It falls to the ground in a certain order, arranged in a strange pattern. Just as all the stones were lined up on the ground, a hole appeared in the intact ground, and a row of steps stretched deep into the ground. There was a faint light flickering, and it was hard to imagine that there were still people underground. However, it is a pity to give up this formation after it has been opened, and some people have to go down to break through. Reaching out to the treasure hunting mouse, the mouse was also clever, jumping on Lin Caiping's hand obediently motionless. Lin Caiping took out the Chixiao Sword from the storage bag, held it in his hand, and walked down the steps with the treasure hunting mouse in one hand.
The steps don't look long, but Lin Caiping walked for a long time and didn't come to the end, could it be that this is a formation? Or is it some kind of space technique? But since there is no attack, there should be no danger, check the jade slip sent by the master, it has been walking on this step for an hour, I don't know how long it will take, the dim light is in front of me, but I can't see what it is. After another hour of walking, the last step of the stairs was at the foot, and as soon as I stepped out, the surroundings immediately changed.
It's not that the scene has changed, it's just that everything around has become clearer, as if it's finally getting closer. The dim light was the light of an oil lamp on the table in front of him, and the oil in the lamp was only a little shallow in it, and the light seemed to be extinguished at any moment when the lamp ran out of oil. But the dust on the table was as thick as a finger, and it could be inferred that the lamp must have burned for many years, and it must not have been extinguished for a while. I could see this place clearly through the light, and it looked like a secret room for monks to cultivate.
There is a futon on the ground, if it is really a place to cultivate, then generally a complete cave will have a pill pharmacy or a room to place items, and if there are really treasures, they must be there. But there were stone walls all around, and there were no doors or openings. There is no abnormality in probing with divine sense, it is just a stone wall on all sides, and there is no spiritual power fluctuation. Just when Lin Caiping was at a loss, the treasure hunt rat jumped from Lin Caiping's hand on the table and squeaked around the lamp. Lin Caiping only then shifted his attention to this lamp, and it seemed that the mystery was on this lamp.
After careful observation, there was nothing abnormal about this lamp, and when I tried to turn it with my hand, the lamp holder could be twisted, and with the twisting of the lamp base, a stone wall also slowly rose, and there was a lot of flying dust in the secret room for a while. It turned out to be a mechanism in the mortal dust, no wonder it couldn't be sensed with divine sense. The treasure hunt rat jumped on Lin Caiping's hand again, but it was no longer so well-behaved, but kept moving around. also looked excited, urging Lin Caiping to hurry up and walk into the open door.
There are no imaginary bottles of elixir, and there are no rows of magic weapons or exercises. Looking around, he found that there was a person meditating in the corner of the wall, Lin Caiping was shocked, he didn't expect that the owner of this secret room was still there, but why didn't he react at all to entering this secret room? It's a little wrong to break in rashly, so it's better to apologize first and then say, "This senior, junior didn't mean to enter your cave, if you are offended, please do a lot of Haihan." ”
After a salute, the senior still did not react. Lin Caiping had the courage to walk in front of this senior, but this person was still motionless. I tentatively patted the man's shoulder, not the touch of the person's shoulder, it was very hard. A slap on the man, no, it was this skeleton, and it fell to the ground after a burst of dust, and the bones were scattered all over the ground. The skull smashed right on Lin Caiping's foot, startling Lin Caiping and kicking the skull away.
