Chapter 5: The Chamber of Secrets

"Oh, I know, my master's hairstyle!" Ning Le dodged Mo Tao's hand, "But Lao Mo, you yourself have said that if you want to become a Yandao family, it is always not possible to blindly work behind closed doors!"

"What, the wings are stiff, do you really want to fly solo?" Mo Tao raised his eyebrows.

Ning Le rubbed his hands and said, "Why don't you go down the mountain with the master?"

Mo Tao was slightly stunned, and pointed to his nose: "The old man will go down the mountain with you?"

"That's right!" Ning Le nodded hurriedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Do you want to be a nanny or a thug?" Mo Tao was not fooled.

"It's boring for you to see through it. โ€

Ning Le glanced at him, and then said eagerly: "Just imagine, the Yanshu master Mo Tao reappeared in the rivers and lakes, defeated all the masters in the world, and once again rolled up a bloody storm. Master, as the only personal disciple of your old man's family, wouldn't I be able to walk sideways on the Tianyan Continent?"

"You're beautiful!"

Mo Tao scolded with a smile: "If there are many talented people on the Yan Continent today, and a hundred schools of thought are contending, who dares to say that they are invincible in the world? Old man, I am afraid that you have been cultivating in the deep mountains for a long time, and you are a little arrogant, right? It seems that it is really time for you to enter the WTO and have a long experience." โ€

Ning Leben was still pouting, but when he heard it, he was stunned in the end, and then his eyes widened: "Old Mo, what did you just say?"

Mo Tao glanced at him with disgust: "It's just that I want you to travel down the mountain, look at your virtue, a little bit of success?"

"Oh yes!" Realizing that Mo Tao had really agreed to his request like this, Ning Le was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Mo Tao dotingly looked at Ning Le, who was so excited, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "You and I have been friends for twenty years, and in front of this world of flowers, it's nothing more than that." โ€

"How can it!" Ning Le hurriedly said, "Master, I will often go back to the mountain to see you! โ€

"Don't be poor. I haven't been in shape since I was a child. Mo Tao finally couldn't help but reward him with a burst of chestnuts, "Since you have decided to leave, it is time to hand over some things to you...... Come with the old man. โ€

Ning Le's eyes lit up when he heard this. Lao Mo really feels sorry for us, this is to pass on some talisman treasures to the master, right? With his temperament and strength, I'm afraid that ordinary things can't be handled, right? I really have some expectations when I think about it.

Mo Tao led Ning Le, who was excited, back to his living room, stepped forward to open his wardrobe, and tinkered back and forth on the wall of the closet.

A faint sound sounded, and Mo Tao's bed slowly moved to the side, exposing a stone door hidden beneath it.

Ning Le was not surprised by all this in front of him. He also knew that there was such a secret room hidden in the house, but in order to respect the privacy of an old man, Ning Le did not go in.

I saw Mo Tao press his right palm on the stone door, take a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his palm secretly exhaled, and the stone door slid open, revealing the stone steps leading to the secret room below.

Ning Leyan's Taoism is not profound, but after all, he has been by Mo Tao's side for many years, and he still has knowledge. It seemed easy for Mo Tao to remove the stone door just now, but in fact, he used the same method of solving the Thousand Illusion Lock.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a considerable degree of control over the Yan Spirit Power, it would not have been possible at allโ€”at least Ning Le was still far from asking himself.

It seems that this is not just an ordinary heavy stone slab.

Mo Tao signaled to Ning Le, and then walked down the secret room by himself. Ning Le didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed.

I saw Mo Tao wave his hand seemingly casually, and the originally dark secret room lit up.

Ning Le took two steps down to the room and found that the space was not spacious, except for a wooden box on the stone table in the center. Mo Tao pointed to the wooden box with his chin: "Oh, open it and take a look." โ€

"What's the treasure in there?" Ning Le swallowed his saliva and came to the stone table with great anticipation, only to find that it was just an ordinary wooden box, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It's so sloppily stored?It doesn't feel like it matches the style of this secret room. Ning Le, who was a little puzzled, opened the wooden box and found that there was more than one thing stored inside.

The first thing that catches your eye is a pendant necklace. Ning Le picked up the necklace and looked at it, frowning slightly: "This chain seems to be just a very ordinary silver chain, but this pendant ...... Hmm, it feels subtle...... There's an old man living in it?"

"It's a groom. Mo Tao gave him a roll of his eyes.

This answer made Ning Le feel both reasonable and unexpected. What can make Mo Tao hide in the secret room so carefully is naturally mostly inseparable from the armor. As for the unexpectedโ€”

"Old Mo, are you sure?, what kind of armor is this?" Ning Le, who was a little puzzled, couldn't help but pick up the pendant and take a closer look again.

It is an ovoid metal pendant, about the size of two knuckles. The material seemed to be very special, and Ning Le couldn't match it with any material he knew, thinking that it was mostly a composite material made from several rare smelts.

As for the workmanship of this pendant, Ning Le really had to admire it from the bottom of his heart. Although he has lived in the mountains for a long time, after all, Mo Tao has taught him, and he can naturally see that this pendant is designed with layers of hollow carvings from the inside out. The difficulty of carving on the surface is not high, but the more you go inside, the difficulty of carving increases exponentially, and the carving of the core part already belongs to the category of miniature carving.

However, this is clearly just an ornamental ornament!

As a Yan Armor, it can do without a gorgeous and sturdy shell, it can do without flexible mechanisms, and because of the presence of Yan Spiritual Power, it can even have no built-in energy supply.

However, it must not be without a conduction loop of energy.

This pendant is beautiful, and it doesn't hurt if it doesn't have built-in energy, but where is the conduction circuit of the spiritual power?

Of course, Mo Tao also saw Ning Le's doubts, but he still didn't say a word.

Ning Le glanced at him, pursed his lips, and then closed his eyes. A stream of heat gushed out of his heart, followed the meridians to the palm of his hand, and then came out through his body. The pendant in Ning Le's palm immediately levitated, trembling slightly and emitting bursts of buzz.

"Strange. โ€

After a long time, the pendant fell back into Ning Le's hands again. He opened his eyes, and the look of doubt in his eyes was even worse: "Let's say that this thing is not Yan Armor, but its reaction to Yan Spirit Power is extremely strong. Let's say it's a Yanjia, but the Yan's spiritual power can't activate it, and almost all the input energy quickly escapes, and I don't understand what this thing is for...... Isn't it a half-finished product?"

"No, it's a full armor. Mo Tao denied Ning Le's speculation.

Ning Le glanced at Mo Tao with some suspicion, and then returned his gaze to this strange pendant again: "This thing is completely integrated, and there is no hole for disassembly...... Old Mo, just say it directly, what the hell is this?"

Mo Tao: "Ning Xian's heart." โ€

"Good name. Ning Le praised it very perfunctorily, and hurriedly asked, "What is it for?"

"The old man doesn't know. Mo Tao shook his head.

"You're kidding me!" Ning Le's face darkened, "You didn't do it?"

The old man asked himself if he had no such ability, and he couldn't make such a bad armor. Mo Tao shook his head again, but his eyes became a little complicated.

Ning Leqi said: "Even you-no, then how dare you be sure that this is a Yanjia?"

Mo Tao didn't speak, just pointed to the wooden box. Ning Le turned his head and took out a second thing from it.

This is a volume, half a book to be exact. The marks of the book being torn off the edge of the binding are very obvious, and it is obvious at a glance that this is only the second half of the book. And in the corners of the second half of the volume, there are also many parts that have been burned, and the handwriting is not clear.

"Adhesive formulation, Armor blueprints, this is ...... Battle Skill?!"

Ning Le flipped through a few pages casually, but his tone was getting higher and higher: "This is the training codex of a certain senior master? It's a pity that it's only a fragment...... Isn't that why you're hiding?"

Mo Tao didn't answer, but prompted: "You read the end of the book directly." โ€

Ning Le flipped to the last part of the book and found that it was full of some dazzling Yanjia design drawings that were so complicated that he was dazzled. And obviously, these are just the essays of the owner of the codex, so the drawings are also very messy and arbitrary, and there are many alterations, which is tantamount to a book from heaven for Ning Le now.

And at the end of the end, there is only one picture. Ning Le knew at a glance that this was what Mo Tao wanted him to pay attention to.

Because the picture is not something else, it is the pendant in Ning Le's hand! In the lower left corner of the picture, there are four small characters written "Ning Xian Yanxin".

Looking at this picture, Ning Le was silent for a long time, and then looked up at Mo Tao: "It's gone?"

"It's gone. Mo Tao nodded.

Ning Le couldn't help laughing: "Just a picture, a name, there is neither an internal structure design drawing, nor a brief introduction, can it be more sloppy?"

Mo Tao looked at him deeply and said word by word: "This pendant, as well as this half volume of notes, were left to you by your parents." โ€
