Chapter 35: Entering the Secret Room
Originally, Poplar thought that since what he saw with his eyes was not real, then I would always close my eyes, but when he took a dozen steps with his eyes closed and opened his eyes again, he was horrified to find that he was still wandering in place.
"This, how is this possible, I obviously moved?" Poplar exclaimed, somewhat incredulously.
This made him subconsciously think that he had encountered a ghost, and goosebumps stood up all over his body.
"No, I can't stay here anymore." Poplar thought in horror.
He no longer wants any immortal relics, what immortal exercises and treasures must be useful if they are enjoyed, and this inexplicable situation at this moment makes him feel creepy and deeply afraid.
He hurriedly summoned the starry sky map, and he wanted to go back to the study in Zhang's home immediately through the starry sky map, but when he found that there was no mountain forest at all in the place where he was standing at the moment, and there was a cliff not far ahead, this reminded him of the invisible light mask he encountered in the tree hole last night.
"Could it be that these are the methods of the immortals?" Bai Yang couldn't help but think of some of the more powerful formations in some fantasy novels he had read, similar to the scene he encountered at the moment.
However, he is fortunate to have an almighty starry sky map that can see through the falsehood, otherwise in the face of this situation, even if he knows that the mountains and forests in front of him are false, there is nothing he can do.
After his consciousness came to the edge of the cliff, his mind moved, and sure enough, he only felt that the original mountains and forests had disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a cliff more than ten meters high.
The cliff was covered with vines and plants, and soon he found the burrow at the bottom of the cliff that had been dug by the big red rat.
He turned to look behind him, and to his astonishment, he could see the steps from which they came, and they were not interrupted at the entrance to the forest, but for some reason they had disappeared from his eyes.
At this moment, he could clearly see that the steps stretched all the way down the cliff face, but here they did break off.
Through the memories of the big red rat, Poplar knew that there must be some mechanism on the cliff wall in front of him that could enter the dark room inside, but he searched for a long time on the cliff wall, but he couldn't find the location of the mechanism.
Could it be that he entered Baoshan but could only return empty-handed in the end? Poplar is naturally unwilling.
Suddenly, he thought of a very feasible method in principle, which was to use the starry sky map to enter the dark room directly through the burrow dug by the big red rat.
Sure enough, through the starry sky map, his consciousness easily entered the cave dug by the big red rat, but the cave was very dark, but when he went into the cave not much deeper, a light source appeared in front of him.
With a light source, it was easy to do, and the consciousness quickly entered the secret room in the memory of the big red rat.
After making sure that there was no danger in the secret room, he moved his mind and the person appeared in the secret room.
"This starry sky map is really a cheat, how can this make others live!" Poplar couldn't help but snort.
After entering the chamber, he began to look at the environment in the chamber with curiosity.
The chamber was apparently carved out of the rock, and both the rock wall and the dome were almost connected.
The dome of the secret room was inlaid with many strange stones that exuded a milky white halo, and the light source he had seen before was emitted by them, and these strange stones were much better than the Night Pearl and the Heavenly Spirit Crystal.
He put away the Heavenly Spirit Crystal in his hand, there was no need to use this stone for lighting here.
Looking at the strange stones above his head, he couldn't help but want to dig a few pieces, but the dome was too high for him to touch even if he jumped, so he had no choice but to give up.
He didn't know where the secret room he was in at the moment belonged to in the entire secret room system, and he saw nine stone tablets lined up in the hall of the secret room.
The nine stone tablets are almost equal in height, almost equal in width, and even the patterns drawn on them are almost identical, which makes him feel extremely puzzled, is there anything special about this?
He looked slowly from left to right, until he saw the stone tablet on the far right, and suddenly his head was in a trance, and he found himself inexplicably appearing in a misty mountain forest, and in front of him there was an old Taoist face in front of him who was talking nonsense to him, anyway, some of them could be understood, but most of them could not be understood.
He wanted to go up and ask what it was, but he found that he seemed to be trapped, unable to move at all, or even make any sound, so he could only watch Lao Dao talk to himself in a daze.
He didn't know how long it took, but he felt his head sink and suddenly he found himself back in the secret room.
"Uh, what's going on?" Poplar looked around in disbelief, as if trying to determine where he was at the moment.
"Strange, did you suddenly fall asleep and have a dream just now?" Poplar scratched his head in a bit of confusion, and even he couldn't remember what he had experienced before, only feeling that there seemed to be some kind of inexplicable voice in his head.
Although he didn't know what was going on just now, this secret room where the nine stone tablets were placed still made him feel strange, and he didn't dare to stay here for a long time, so he chose an entrance at random and walked in.
The second chamber was filled with bookshelves, neatly arranged with a large number of books, some of which were made of some kind of animal leather, some of which looked like the stems of some kind of plant, some of which were made of some kind of bamboo, and some of which were even more strange.
Originally, Poplar was inevitably excited to see this room full of cheats, but when he randomly selected a cheatbook from the shelf, he found that he couldn't understand what was written on it at all.
Also, it's been five hundred years, and although the cheats can still be preserved, the words of this planet have already undergone earth-shaking changes, not to mention that the memory of the words in his memory still comes from a bandit leader and a son who doesn't know how to learn, so it's strange to be able to understand the cheats here.
I selected three cheats in succession, and found that the words on both the leather cheats and the paper cheats showed signs of degradation, but those cheats engraved on the plant stems and bamboo pieces were more difficult to distinguish in addition to the words, but the clarity was still very good.
Although Poplar couldn't read the words on it, he thought about it and put all the cheats in this secret room into his storage space.
Originally, he was worried that his storage space capacity was a little insufficient, but when he realized the storage space in his mind, he was startled.
At some point, his storage space more than tripled, which suddenly became empty of what already seemed to be a cramped storage space.
"What's going on?" Poplar's heart is full of mysteries, and to be honest, he still doesn't know a lot about the abilities in his body.
"Looks like it's time to study yourself." Poplar thought to himself.
Since the storage space has become larger for unknown reasons, this makes Poplar even more ruthless in collecting the cheats in the secret room, if it weren't for the storage space becoming larger, I'm afraid he would have to selectively collect these cheats, but now he doesn't have to choose at all, just collect them all.
Soon there were only a few empty bookshelves left in the entire secret room, and all the cheats on the bookshelves had been taken away by Poplar.
Each secret room in the secret room is figured out, no, there are also two passages in the secret room where the secret room is located, which leads to other places.
Poplar didn't bother to choose, and directly chose the closest passage to him and walked in.
The passage was not long, and it was not long before I came to another secret room.
This secret room is relatively large, there are hundreds of futons placed on the ground, and there are five portraits hanging on the stone wall directly opposite the futon, and the characters in the portraits are all like fairy wind bones, which makes Bai Yang can't help but wonder if these five people are the portraits of immortals?
It wasn't clear if they were portraits of immortals, but he kept them in storage.
There was nothing else in this chamber except the portrait, and the futon poplars that had grown mildew were not to be seen, so I didn't take any of them.
There are only two passages in this secret room, one is the passage that Poplar came from, and the other passage is directly opposite the passage from which Poplar came.
There was no choice, so he had to follow the passage.
The passage was a little longer, but only a few dozen paces away, and he came to a secret room with many stone chambers.
Most of the stone chambers were open, and there was almost nothing in them, very rudimentary, except for one stone chamber with a stone door closed.
"There's not going to be anything in there, is it?" Bai Yang was a little worried, but the thought that there was a possibility that there were immortal exercises and magic weapons in it made him very excited.
After some mental struggle, he decided to open the stone chamber.
He first took out the treasure knife from the storage space and held it tightly in his hand, as long as the situation was wrong, he could at least use the treasure knife in his hand to fight for a chance to escape.
Of course, he didn't think about what to do if he didn't even have a chance to escape, so he could only accept his fate, unless he gave up the opportunity inside.
He first patted the stone door hard with his treasure knife, and after waiting for a while, he found that there was no movement inside, and then he carefully pushed the stone door inward.
When the stone door was slowly opened, what entered his eyes was a skeleton, the skeleton didn't know if it was leaning against the edge of the stone door before, as Poplar pushed the stone door open, the skeleton suddenly fell, almost frightened.
Even though he later found out that the skull had fallen as an accident, his face was still pale.
I don't know what material the clothes on this skeleton's body are, even after five hundred years, it still looks extremely shiny and beautiful.
But Poplar didn't degenerate enough to snatch things from dead men, and although the dress looked good, he wouldn't have stripped it from a skull and put it on himself, and the thought of it being something a dead man wore made him feel creepy.
In addition to a piece of clothing, the skull also has a ring set with a black gemstone on the index finger of its right hand.
There was nothing else on the skull's body, but a milky white jade stone had fallen from a corner of the stone chamber.
Bai Yang felt very disappointed, risking his life so much, not only did he not see the secret book of the immortal cultivation technique, but there was also no trace of the immortal treasure.
While the ring with the black gem was most likely valuable, he couldn't pull it off the bone.
However, the milky white jade that fell on the corner of the stone chamber, although he didn't know if it was a treasure, was better than nothing to him.
