"This sword should be where the eye of the formation is." Chen Ziyang thought that he hurriedly used the flashlight beam to shine in that direction, moving around non-stop.

After the flashlight moved upward, Chen Ziyang saw that the nine iron bars went straight into the rock top above, and from the arrangement of the iron bars, he judged that this should be directly below the nine armors.

Then Chen Ziyang focused on the sword again. The sword was dark and oily, and it didn't look like it was forged from gold and iron.

"Could it be that this is a wooden sword?" Chen Ziyang came up with this idea, the oily glow on the sword looked like the kind of oily wooden handle after years of play, this glow was very different from the metallic glow, and it could be distinguished at a glance.

"My good man, this sword is definitely an antiquity, it seems that there are still a lot of people passing by, and they are all out of the pulp. If you pull it out and go to the car beads, you will definitely be able to make a lot of bracelets, and you will definitely be able to sell for a lot of money. After searching around, Yang Lei, who had found nothing, came up and said in surprise when he saw the sword illuminated by the flashlight beam.

"Che your grandmother has a leg, you only have money in your eyes, you want to hold the car beads with such a good thing, can you have a future, it's just a tyrannical thing. It's okay to be ashamed, but don't be so ashamed. ”

"Are you embarrassed to say that I know money? You've forgotten why we're here, not to help you get money. I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, I'm used to it. Yang Lei looked at the ancient sword in front of him and said while drooling.

At this time, Chen Ziyang noticed that several other people had all gathered, and they were also constantly looking in the direction of the sword, and after several flashlights gathered together, the scope of illumination was even greater, and at this time, several people noticed that under the sword and the nine iron bars, there seemed to be a formation.

This formation was all made of black stones, almost the same color as the ground here, so Chen Ziyang hadn't noticed it before.

Some stones carved with Taoist talisman patterns were paved into a small square, and the nine iron bars and the ancient sword were all inserted into the lines of the stones, and the lines on these stones were connected to each other and spliced together to form this formation. It should be this formation that supports the nine armors above.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang was even more surprised, this sword is not simple, it is definitely not simple! In addition to this ancient sword, there are only nine iron bars left in the entire formation, and thinking about it this way, it is the mana contained in this sword that has supported the nine armor formations above for thousands of years, and it is activated once every ten years.

Jin Huang, who was a Maoshan formation master, was also extremely shocked, he didn't say a word, his face was full of seriousness, staring at the formation under the ancient sword and constantly watching, studying, hoping to benefit from it.

"Ziyang, something isn't quite right in this place." When several people were all fascinated by the ancient sword and the formation below, a discordant sound came from the umbrella stone handsome, and only he was not attracted by the things in the field, but kept paying attention to the surrounding situation.

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't you notice? The area of this island in the middle of the lake is not small, but there is not even a single glowing mushroom on it. ”

"Huh?" After being reminded by Umbrella Shishuai, Chen Ziyang noticed this. Yes, that's very strange. Since coming here, all the ground that a few people can see, or some rock walls with a small amount of soil, have all grown those glowing mushrooms, but this island in the middle of the lake is pitch black, and there is no light at all except for the glowing mosquitoes flying in mid-air.

Just now, a few people happened to notice that there was a glowing mushroom that spewed out spores, and the force of the spores was very large when they were ejected, and the spores themselves were very small, they could be spewed out more than ten meters away, and the number of spores spewed out by that glowing mushroom alone was quite a lot.

When several people waded through the water, they all saw a thin layer of grease floating above the water, which was supposed to be mushroom spores that had been sprayed on the water.

If you think about it this way, this underground world should be full of that kind of glowing mushrooms, and in fact, except for this island in the middle of the lake, all the other places that several people saw were occupied by glowing mushrooms.

But why aren't there those glowing mushrooms growing here? Chen Ziyang pressed the scabbard of the Xuanming Ancient Sword on the ground, although the soil layer here is not very thick, but there is still soil.

He could see clearly before, even those glowing mushrooms grew in the cracks of some stones, it was impossible for so much soil here to grow. Could it be because this is an island in the middle of a lake, so there is no way for other mushroom spores to spray here?

Raising his head, Chen Ziyang took a photo on the top of the rock with a flashlight, and there are also a lot of glowing mushrooms growing on the top of the rock, and those mushrooms will definitely fall on this island in the middle of the lake when they spew out spores.

"There's something wrong with the soil here." After grabbing a handful of soil and putting it in front of his nose and smelling it for a while, Xu Xiaoyuan said with great certainty: "The soil here should be mixed with something, and it has a very strange smell, as if it is a mixture of various medicinal herbs, and there may be some lime." ”

Chen Ziyang also learned from Xu Xiaoyuan's appearance, lying on the ground and smelling it, although he was not like Xu Xiaoyuan who often came into contact with medicinal herbs, and his nose was very smart, but he could also smell some strange smells, and the soil should indeed be mixed with something.

"Shangguan Kangning, how is the situation on your side?" While thinking about what other effects these strange soils had, Chen Ziyang asked Shangguan Kang Ning.

"The smell of the female insect of the sun and moon nose insect is not coming from the direction of this formation, it seems to be...... It seems to be in that direction. Shangguan Kangning looked at the ground green worm, and then pointed to a black shadow not far away.

"The two ground worms in the bottle are already very manic, I think the female of the sun and moon worm should not be far from here, it is very likely to be behind that small mountain bag."

Chen Ziyang looked up, and the place Shangguan Kangning was referring to seemed to be the highest point of this island in the middle of the lake, a place similar to a small mountain bag.

The place where the ancient sword and the Nine Iron Bars Formation were located was in a depression on this island in the middle of the lake, and behind this depression was the raised hill bag.

"What! Doesn't that mean the treasure is here! Yang Lei was so happy that he almost jumped.

"Huh? Treasure? Haha, I see. When placing the treasure, Yuan Tiangang knew that there were a lot of these glowing mushrooms here, so he deliberately mixed something into the soil of this island in the middle of the lake, so that the spores of the mushrooms could not grow and reproduce here.

I guess his purpose in doing this is to protect what is placed here, and it may be very easy to damage if the treasure is touched by those mushroom spores. In other words, there are no mushrooms growing here, which proves that the treasure should be on this small island. ”

Let Chen Ziyang say this, and several other people also reacted. Chen Ziyang's statement is reasonable, if it weren't for the protection of things on this island in the middle of the lake, how could someone put so much effort into mixing things in the soil? This must be very targeted.

"But...... What kind of treasure needs Yuan Tiangang to take care of so much? There are many things like gold and silver, such as jade and gold and silver, and these things are not afraid of mushroom spores.

I know that some mushrooms and mushroom spools are poisonous, but I haven't heard of anything that spoils when it gets on the spores of a mushroom. Xu Xiaoyuan asked with a frown.

After slapping his head, Chen Ziyang suddenly said: "I think it's crooked, the reason why Yuan Tiangang is mixed with things in the soil here is not to protect the treasure, but to protect the wooden sword." ”

"That's right." Xu Xiaoyuan also understood that if a large number of mushrooms grew in this vicinity, the wooden sword would definitely be stained with mushroom spores, and if the sword was full of mushrooms at that time, maybe the sword would be destroyed.

"What? Is it to protect the sword, not to protect the treasure? Is there any treasure up there? Yang Lei shouted with some disappointment.

"Don't think about it so much, the smell of the sun and moon nose worm is coming from the front, it is very likely that the treasure is in front, let's go over and take a look. Jin Huang, how have you studied this formation? After judging that the treasure was here, Chen Ziyang's strength also increased.

This time I came here to seek wealth, although there were a few twists and turns along the way, but it was barely smooth, and now the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang was at his fingertips, and I couldn't help but Chen Ziyang would be so excited.

"This formation should be a simple formation for extracting mana, there is no protective effect, and it is unlikely that there is any mechanism hidden, I think it is safer to pass through here." Jin Huang had already analyzed this formation.

“GO！ GO！ GO！ What are you waiting for, old and young, hurry up. Yang Lei patted the dirt on his knees and was the first to stand up.

Although Jin Huang said that there was no danger in this formation, several people were still cautious when they passed through the formation. Soon, Chen Ziyang came to the front of the sword.

A closer look at this sword is what makes it even more extraordinary. The reason why this sword has a dark body is because it is not an ordinary wooden sword, but is carved from lightning strike wood.

Judging from the color of the sword body, it is not an ordinary lightning strike wood carved into this sword, at least it is more than a thousand years old, and it is a rare treasure. The small Taoist talismans converged into a unique pattern on the sword body, and the simple atmosphere came to the face.

Looking at this wooden sword, Chen Ziyang's heart became excited. A peachwood sword made of thousand-year-old lightning strike wood left by Yuan Tiangang can also make the formation above last for thousands of years and still operate, it is very likely that this sword is the peachwood sword that Yuan Tiangang used back then.

You don't need any gold, silver, or jade, and if you just take out this sword, you can sell it for a staggering price.

But because he was afraid that this sword would activate some other mechanism after it was pulled out, Chen Ziyang just carefully touched the sword body with his hand, wanting to feel the mana contained in the sword body, but when his fingers touched the lightning strike wooden sword, he was stunned.

There was not much mana left in this sword, which Chen Ziyang had not thought of before. In addition to that, what really surprised Chen Ziyang was that he felt a kind of wail from the sword, as if this wooden sword was crying, because the life of this sword was almost at the end of its life.

Chen Ziyang didn't know why he felt this way, but he was 100% sure that it wouldn't be long before the sword would shatter on its own.

After all, this sword is made of wood, even if it is made of thousand-year-old lightning strike wood, it is a piece of wood after all, no matter how much Yuan Tiangang wants to preserve this sword, it will be difficult to do it after all.

Exposed to the air for thousands of years, even gold and iron will be very oxidized, let alone a piece of wood.

Probably resonating with this sword, Chen Ziyang felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Such a sacred object is about to die, and as a descendant of Taoism, he will naturally feel the same way.

"Eryang, what are you doing? Don't you hurry up and go, do you really want to pull out your sword and go to the car? Yang Lei jumped in a hurry on the spot, urging vigorously.

Several people climbed up the small mound along the slope behind the formation, they lay their bodies on the hillside, carefully poked their heads out, and shone their flashlight beams at the back of the mound.

When the flashlight hit the area, some golden and silver-white light reflected back and reflected in the eyes of several people.

"Gold? Silver? Hair, hair, haha. Staring at these lights, Yang Lei's hands danced happily, but within a few seconds, the smile on his face disappeared.

Although there was a thick layer of dust covering the objects that reflected the light, several people quickly recognized the outlines of these things, and what everyone didn't expect was that the things that reflected the glow of the flashlight were not gold bricks and silver bars.

"Er Yang, this is the treasure you are looking for? This is the baby left by Yuan Tiangang? Is this a joke? Did Yuan Tiangang make a big joke with us? We've gone through a lot of hard work to find these things? ”

Yang Lei's tone was mixed with crying, and he was really about to cry now.

After a lot of hardship, he arrived in the mountains of Guizhou to find Shangguan Kangning, and helped Shangguan Kangning catch two ground green insects, and then several people encountered black Gu worms, escaped from the pursuit of the bone-eating insect swarm, and were almost eaten by those black and white Gu worms.

After all they had experienced, all the six of them got was the armor of some soldiers, mountains of armor.
