Chapter 560: The Land of Bones

readx;?“ Devil Fruits! ”

No way! Her answer made me almost laugh out loud, is this a cartoon too much? Even the Devil Fruit in One Piece was made. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

I forced a smile and asked, "Can I get superpowers after eating this thing?" ”

Sanji gave me a blank look and said, "Eat? If you're not afraid of death, you can try. This is the soul bead that collects and stores the Yin Soul, and some mages who have advanced cultivation can use it to temporarily seal the Yin Soul, because it is simple and inexpensive to make, so many Xuanmen people will prepare this thing. ”

I was a little surprised by this answer, and instead asked, "You mean, this thing is very common?" Isn't it a fruit? Why do you still need to make it? ”

Sanji said: "This thing is a low-grade Horcrux, and its value is still below the magic weapon, but it is only circulated among certain groups of people, such as soul refiners often use this item." This thing is indeed a plant fruit, but it can only be used after processing, and the specific methods are all secret techniques of the sect, and outsiders cannot know at all. ”

I asked again, "Then this person should be a soul refiner?" Why is he here? Is it for the ghosts under the Futu Tower? ”

Sanji shook his head and said: "I don't know if it's a soul refiner, the soul bead basically has no requirements for the user, but anyone who can correctly use spiritual power can use it to seal the yin soul." But this person appeared in the passage with a soul bead, probably for the Yin Soul. ”

I asked with some concern, "I don't know if he succeeded, will there be a large number of Yin Souls in this soul bead?" ”

Sanji said: "You think too much, no matter whether he succeeds or not, there will not be any yin soul in the soul bead, because the soul bead is only a temporary sealing artifact of the yin soul, and the time limit will not exceed three days, and the seal will be automatically unlocked after the time limit, and the yin soul inside must be transferred out within three days, and other magic weapons must be found to seal it separately." ”

This skeleton has been dead for at least a few decades, even if there is a yin soul in the soul bead, it has already escaped from the seal, and I didn't sense the existence of a yin soul around me, not to mention that I also have a soul bell, and Sanji also has a vajra bell, these magic weapons will warn when they encounter a yin ghost, it seems that worrying is really a bit redundant.

I fiddled with a soul bead with the Tiangang Sword, and then asked, "Is this thing still useful?" ”

Sanji shook his head and said, "As long as the soul bead is used, it will become a mortal thing after three days, and it has no value. ”

Hearing her say this, I examined the skeleton again, and in addition to the hair that had fallen to the ground, there was also a rotten wooden strip, which was entangled with the rotten hair, and it seemed that it should be a hairpin or something, that is, this person was at least a few hundred years old. At least before the Qing Dynasty, because in the Qing Dynasty, unless they were Taoist priests in Taoist temples, ordinary people were not allowed to keep their hair in a bun.

In other words, this passage is at least hundreds of years old, but why has the temple been rebuilt several times, and no one has mentioned this underground building part? Is it because no one has ever found out?

What lies ahead of this passage? Why is there so much humidity here, it seems that there should be an underground water source nearby.

The skeleton may have been a mage who had come to collect ghosts, and was bitten to death by a snake here, and before dying, he wounded the snake and finally died in the passage. But none of this has anything to do with me, so since I can't find any useful clues, let's move on.

Suddenly, I felt that something seemed to be in front of me, picked up the flashlight and subconsciously shone forward, only to see a black shadow flashing in a reflected light and shadow, and when I looked carefully, I couldn't see anything.

I was a little frightened by this discovery, and I quickly judged the distance in my heart, and the place where the black shadow flashed was about dozens of meters away from me, which was beyond the warning range of the Soul Bell, so I couldn't tell whether it was a person or a ghost.

I wasn't sure if it was a hallucination, so I asked Sanji softly, "Do you see the shadow in front of you?" ”

Sanji whispered, "I see, it's fast, but I can't sense it, I don't know what it will be." ”

Hearing her say this, I knew that this should not be a hallucination, there must be something in front of me, but the distance was a little far, and because the water vapor in the passage was too heavy, the reflection was serious, so I couldn't see farther away.

In view of the speed of that thing, it is unlikely that it is a person, and the terrain here is special, and once something happens, it can't be used at all, just in case, I still take out the Breaking Charm and urge the spiritual power to activate the charm.

A red light curtain visible to the naked eye was instantly formed, reflecting a red color within more than ten meters of the passage, and seeing this familiar protective cover, I felt much more stable in my heart.

But just when I was relieved, the soul bell on my wrist suddenly rang!

"Jingle bells! ……”

The crisp bell was particularly harsh in the silent passage, and the moment the bell rang it turned from slow to urgent, and before I could react, I heard "Bang!" ahead of me. There was a muffled sound.

I felt a violent shake from the shield, and suddenly a distorted face appeared in front of me, clinging to the shield, trying to rush in.

But the next moment, the shattering talisman in my hand suddenly lit up, and the protective shield shone red, and a huge rebound force instantly bounced out the miserable white face.

The terrible scream pierced through my eardrums, and even though it was hindered by the shield, it still buzzed in my head.

What is this?!

That face only stayed on the protective shield for less than a second, and then it was fleeting, but it left an indelible impression on me, and I was deeply impressed, I have seen this face before, I remember that in the underwater passage of the Tianquan Palace, I once encountered a pale grimace, at that time, that grimace had been following us, and then was frightened away by the protective shield of the water spirit bead.

And the pale face of the gang is the same as the grimace.

Hearing that terrible scream, the grimace seemed to be seriously injured, or extremely frightened. If that thing is a Yin Spirit, it is normal to be injured by the Shattering Charm, but I don't know what other Yin Soul Evil Spirits will be in this passage.

I handed the Shattering Talisman to Sanji, took out the golden spirit bead to quickly replenish the spiritual power, and then held the Thunder Guiding Talisman in one hand and the Tiangang Sword in front of me in the other, and chased it in the direction that the grimace fled.

As the speed increased, I felt that the passage was gradually descending, and the grimace had been missing, and after about a few dozen meters, there was a sudden murmuring sound of running water in the passage.

There's groundwater here, so it's no wonder the passage looks so slippery. After a few more meters, shallow puddles began to appear on the ground, and the reflection of the wall in front of them suddenly disappeared.

The passage had come to an end, and a huge karst cave appeared in front of it, the bottom of the cave was sparkling, and sharp stalactites were reflected in the water.

By the time I walked out of the passage and stood on the edge of the cave, the soles of my shoes had been soaked by the water marks on the ground.

I quickly took a flashlight and found that this is a natural cave, but there is a round stone pillar in the center, which is completely different from other stalactites, and looks like it is artificially built, which seems to be a little out of place with the surrounding environment.

I looked down at the surface of the water again, and it was not empty, but in the midst of the surging waves, some objects like dead branches appeared on the surface of the water, densely covering the bottom of the cave, like a mess of aquatic plants in the water.

But when I used my flashlight to see what was going on nearby, I was scared and took a few steps back.

What kind of aquatic weed is this! This one of them was exposed to the surface of the water, and the whole cave was covered with all kinds of bones, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a human or an animal.

It was like a huge mass grave, or an ancient battlefield, and there was no sound here except for the incessant sound of running water, and I was stunned by the unexpected scene.

Sanji was also a little dumbfounded, his mouth slightly open, and he stared blankly at the bones everywhere.

I'm also a little understaffed at this time, what's going on? Based on the location here, I can roughly judge that the above should be the direction of the Great Temple Square.

In other words, this is the legendary place where the demons and monsters are suppressed under the Futu Tower!

What is that pillar in the middle for? Because the distance is a little far, I can't see the details of the stone pillar clearly, but there are white bones in the water, and if you want to go over, you can only step on these white bones and walk over, and whether there will be danger under the water, people can't know.

I was about to ask Sanji if she wanted to go over and have a look, but she suddenly said, "The water is rising!" ”
