Chapter 115: Encounter
Liu Pei looked at him angrily and said, "What do you think I'm doing?" I don't know how to move or how to form a formation! β
He was just a doctor, and after his death, because he had a bit of cultivation, he became an alchemist part-time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoEverything else about Xiuzhen was all obtained from Zhou Ning and the turtle.
It's worse than Wang Er's estimate.
After all, Wang Er had lived with those demon cultivators since he was a child, and he had served those cultivators at close range.
After listening to Liu Pei's answer, Wang Er turned his head to look at Zhou Ning again.
Zhou Ning ignored him. He was standing in front of the door, knocking on it with his hand and touching it gently.
"This thing doesn't look like stone, it's too delicate." Zhou Ning said: "Who is such a tyrant! It's jade! Such a big one, it's all used as a door! β
This delicate and warm feel is more like the texture of jade. In the dark and empty passageway, the light of the searchlight was very faint. But after being reflected on this jade door, it emitted a shimmering light. Zhou Ning touched it inch by inch, and looked at it inch by inch, the more he looked at it, the more distressed he became: "Nima! This transparency, this texture, even the top jade can't be compared! β
If you look closely, there is something carved in the middle of the door.
The searchlight shone on it, and Zhou Ning's eyes narrowed.
A mouse?
He leaned in again and looked, and it was indeed a mouse. Although the lines are very simple and the image is a little rough, you can tell that it is a mouse at a glance.
It's just that the direction looks like it's reversed, which makes people look weird and awkward.
Could it be that this is the mechanism for entering the door?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ning started to touch the lines of the mouse.
But no matter whether he touches it clockwise or counterclockwise, this jade door still doesn't move.
Wang Er saw that Zhou Ning had been staring at the mouse and touching it, so he asked, "Master, do you see something?" Is this mouse a trap? Do you want to press it? β
Zhou Ning was irritable, and when he heard this, he turned his head to look at him, and said strangely: "Why didn't I find you so verbose before?" β
Wang Er laughed twice: "I'm not afraid that we will be locked up here all the time." β
It's okay for him to be locked up here, I'm afraid Zhou Ning won't be able to stand it. When the time comes, if they accidentally burp, they will have to accompany the funeral.
Zhou Ning didn't know what he was thinking, so he said, "What are you afraid of!" The worst outcome is to turn around and go back! Don't worry, let me push it again. β
After saying that, he pushed the jade door in hard.
The jade door did not move.
Zhou Ning pushed it left and right again.
Still no movement.
"Is it going to be pulled up?" Zhou Ning muttered to himself, and then squatted down to lift the net hard.
But the jade door and the ground were so tightly attached that Zhou Ning couldn't even insert his hand into it, and he was kicked and lifted the entire door.
After another failure, he was a little angry: "I tried up and down, front and back, left and right, why is there no movement at all?" β
Could it be that this is not a door, but a wall? But there are blue brick walls on both sides, and only the middle one is emitting a glowing green light. Wall patches?
Zhou Ning couldn't think of it, and couldn't help but kick the corner of the door hard.
If it weren't for the fact that the texture of this jade gate is particularly good and precious, Zhou Ning would have taken out the explosives in the space earlier!
Seeing this, Wang Er said worriedly: "Master, can't we go in?" β
Zhou Ning turned his head and glanced at the other party again, and then had an idea.
"It's just me who can't get in. But you can still get in. He smiled as he spoke: "Yes! How did I forget! You're ghosts, it's a piece of cake to go through walls and doors. Hurry up, you guys go to the other side and show me if there's a deadbolt or something in the back. β
Since there is a door, it will not fail to open. I can't see the cat on this end, and maybe there will be some clues if I change sides.
Liu Pei and Wang Er were obedient and immediately penetrated the jade gate and reached the passage on the other side.
In less than half a minute, Wang Er put it back on, and then said to Zhou Ning excitedly: "Master, the front of the mouse is on the door over there, and the carving is beautiful, it is protruding." β
Who is tired of listening to you talk about rats!
Zhou Ning glanced at him, and was about to ask about the door bolt, but saw that the door next to him actually rotated.
The door turned to the middle, and Liu Pei was standing in the passage on the other side, looking a little surprised.
"I clicked the mouse in the eyeball." Liu Pei said: "Then the door will automatically turn up." β
So the trap is on the eye of the mouse?
Zhou Ning followed his line of sight and saw that there was indeed a statue protruding from the doorβthis was the front of the mouse. The rough and clean lines they saw before are just the back of the mouse!
This dark green mouse is beautifully carved. Not only can you see the hair on your body clearly, but even those two eyes are dark and swarthy, as if glowing.
"What kind of gem is this?" Zhou Ning's hand also touched the two eyeballs, and then pressed it hard.
The door turned clockwise for another half turn, and then closed again.
This time, the door was finally facing him.
"I see." Zhou Ning exclaimed: "Even if this door is equipped with a mechanism, it can only go in a circle in one direction. When the demon cultivator in front of it entered, it turned to the other side. Later people can't touch the mechanism, so they can't get in. And when those demon cultivators turned back, the door was still facing them, so when they came back, it was still smooth and there would be no hindrance. β
If Zhou Ning hadn't had two ghosts who could pass through the wall, he would have been at a loss, looking at the door and sighing.
"I think we're still useful." Wang Er laughed and said happily: "There must be a door in the back, and the master needs our help to open it." β
Following Zhou Ning is both a matter of pride and frustration. Wang Er's cultivation talent is not high, and he has no other abilities. In addition to taking care of the space, in other aspects, there is nothing that can help Zhou Ning.
Finally, I was able to help once, but Zhou Ning didn't accept his affection, pressed the two eyeballs again, and watched the jade door open again, Zhou Ning said: "If you can't get in, I'll wait at the entrance." They're going to come back, right? When the time comes, I'll hit one! It's like that whack-a-mole, isn't it easier? β
Having said that, I still agree with the role of the two ghosts in my heart. Because if he hadn't seen this jade gate, he wouldn't be sure that those demon cultivators would have to turn back. Besides, following those demon cultivators, he can carry out sneak attacks and assassinate each other one after another. But when he got to the entrance, it was different, and he was very likely to encounter all the demon cultivators going together.
Then there is no place to die! Two fists are hard to beat four hands, even in the most optimistic situation, all he encounters are first-order demon soldiers, but once there are many of them, he can't guarantee that he can retreat with his whole body.
"Shall we go in then?" When Wang Er heard this, he immediately hesitated: "Hearing you say this, I suddenly feel that it's good to wait at the door!" β
Liu Pei shook his head while listening: This Wang Xiaoer doesn't know if it's really stupid or deliberate, it seems to be a bit sarcastic about the master!
Zhou Ning didn't seem to hear Wang Er's words, and walked straight forward. I don't know if it was swept away by the demon cultivator, or if it was like this, the passage behind the jade gate was still empty, and there was neither danger nor gain. But less than half an hour after walking, they saw a fresh corpse.
In fact, if you want to say that it is fresh, it is only because the corpse has not stinked yet. But if Zhou Ning wants to judge when the other party died, he can't tell.
"Is this infighting?" Zhou Ning squatted down, looked at the corpse carefully, and criticized mercilessly: "Tsk, this person is really ugly." β
It is said that there are no ugly people in cultivators, because after advancing to the congenital, they can wash the marrow and cut the scriptures. But the one in front of him is particularly ugly. The facial features are particularly uncoordinated, and the skin is still wrinkled. The blood on his forehead had dried up, but his eyes were still open, and he couldn't see if he was dead. The clothes on the body are very retro, the caftan is tied with a silk belt, the neckline is full of flower buttons, and the chest seems to have been smashed down by a sledgehammer, with a big hole, which is particularly tragic to look at.
Zhou Ning's gaze glanced at his waist, and after seeing that there were no storage bags and no weapons with the qi of heaven and earth, he stood up.
You don't need to look through it to know that the people in front of you will not leave them any "loot".
So don't think about it this time.
"These demon cultivators are too chilling. Even the corpse didn't help to restrain it. Zhou Ning sighed: "Even if you don't bring the body back, burn it for him!" If you put it here, you can only wait for it to stink, rot, and be eaten by insects and ants. β
When he said this, his fingertips had already condensed the red lotus karmic fire.
With a "boom", the Red Lotus Karma Fire quickly devoured the corpse.
Huge flames lit up the entire passage. Although you can't see the head in front and back, the blue brick walls on both sides are clearly visible. Under the illumination of the jumping flames, Zhou Ning's shadow was especially slender and tall after being cast on the wall.
"Later, when you go to the other side and open the door, be careful for me." After the corpse was burned clean and the flames gradually extinguished, Zhou Ning turned his head and said to the two ghosts: "If they are not far away, you just wait." When they were far away, they opened the door and let me in. β
After a few people discussed, Zhou Ning walked forward again, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. After stopping and thinking about it, he suddenly patted his head and said, "That's not right! This man is dead, but what about his ghost? Why didn't you see it? β
Not only did I not see a ghost, but I didn't even feel the ghost.
The two ghosts also felt that something was wrong, and immediately looked around vigilantly.
"Could it be that those people cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and even the primordial gods were destroyed?" Zhou Ning said to himself: "This is possible! β
After all, he is a person from the cultivation realm, and he must be used to doing this kind of thing. It's like them, it took the boss a lot of effort to kill a group of demon cultivators, but as a result, all the primordial gods ran away, and he had to go through the trouble to chase and kill.
Liu Pei was a little cautious, and did not forget to remind Zhou Ning while being on guard from all sides: "Although there is such a possibility, we still have to be careful." Master, don't forget what the turtle turtle said, these cultivators' primordial gods will take it away. β
If they weren't worried about this, they wouldn't have separated from each other and chased down the escaped Genshin at sea.
This demon cultivator died not long ago, and if there was a primordial god, he would definitely still be nearby. In case they didn't pay attention, this demon cultivator's primordial spirit would get on Zhou Ning's body, and it would be a big problem.
Zhou Ning is not a big-hearted person, so he nodded when he heard this: "Don't worry." If he doesn't want to be gone, let the horse go. β
Liu Pei thought of Zhou Ning's Red Lotus Karma Fire, so he was slightly relieved.
The two ghosts walked and stopped, and after passing through two jade doors in succession, they found that the statues on the jade doors were arranged in the order of the twelve zodiac signs, and the two doors behind were the statues of the ox and the statue of the tiger. Like the two previous doors, the way the door was opened was by pressing the eyes of the statues.
I don't know what kind of gemstone the eyeballs are made of, and the water is moist and a little soft, and it is particularly realistic to press it.
"The person who designed this way of opening the door is a bit perverted!" Zhou Ning said with emotion: "It's all about picking at other people's eyes!" It's cruel! β
Wang Er also nodded: "It's a bit cruel." But it still feels very good to press it. β
When Zhou Ning heard this, he couldn't help but stand to the side, not wanting to stand with such a perverted ghost.
They had already stood in front of the fourth jade gate, and they had never encountered a corpse again, nor had they encountered the first dead man's primordial spirit.
As they thought, the jade door was carved with a rabbit. Thinking of buttoning the eyes of such a cute rabbit, Zhou Ning was a little unbearable.
But after waiting for a while, I didn't see the door opened. Zhou Ning's voice was deliberately softer: "There may be a situation." You pay attention to me. β
After he became invisible, Liu Pei came through the wall, and sure enough, the first thing he said was: "Master, I found those demon cultivators." β
Zhou Ning said in a deep voice: "What are they doing? β
Liu Pei's expression was a little strange: "They are knocking on the wall......"
Zhou Ning listened, and his expression was stranger than him: "What are you knocking on the wall for?" β
Liu Pei said: "There is a glowing stone on the wall, and there are a few demon cultivators prying there. In addition, there are a lot of robots in it, and they are fighting against those demon cultivators. β
"Robots?" Zhou Ning thought he had heard it wrong: "How can there be robots here?" β
It's not a relic of outer space, a robot from somewhere.
Liu Pei thought for a while: "Maybe it's more appropriate to call it a machine person?" Anyway, it's not a real person, but it's dynamic and very sensitive. When I went in, the cultivators didn't notice me, but the trappers did. Two of them were attacking me. β
After Zhou Ning heard this, his face became a little ugly: "Knocking on the wall while fighting? There's a lot of them, right? β
Otherwise, where can I take care of it.
Liu Pei said: "I didn't count carefully, but if you estimate it, there are at least forty or fifty." The fighting demon cultivator is in the front, and the one who knocks on the wall is in the back. Actually, I didn't see it clearly. Maybe those who knock on the wall are also robots? Otherwise, why didn't those people attack them? β
Zhou Ning groaned: "It makes sense. β
He looked at the walls on the left and right, and became a little amused: "No wonder the passage is dark and abrupt, it turns out that they have scraped it once?" That's too picky, isn't it? Don't even let go of the things on the wall! β
If these doors could be removed, would those demon cultivators not even let go of this jade door?
"Then wait a little longer." Zhou Ning thought about it, and suddenly laughed sinisterly: "When they are almost knocked, we will kill them one by one!" (To be continued.) )
