Chapter 75: The Mystery of the Tomb
"That ancient tomb has existed for a long time, and if it weren't for a landslide a few years ago, it is estimated that no one would have found it. Gui Lao looked at the corpse water on the ground and said: "In the past, after the death of people in this vicinity, if the corpse was buried at will, after a few days, the corpse would definitely be transformed, and the reason was the corpse qi leaking out of the ancient tomb. ”
Chen Xuanqi recalled the giant corpse that the Immortal Corpse Daoist had become, and he was still a little afraid in his heart, at that time he didn't know that he could restrain the zombie, and the power of the giant corpse could easily hit Duan Shang, even in the face of the monks in the Condensation Period, it was estimated that he would not fall behind.
"Why don't you gather powerful fire cultivators and disperse the corpse qi in the ancient tomb together, isn't this once and for all?" Chen Xuanqi wondered.
Gui Lao smiled a little helplessly, and said: "That ancient tomb was built in the middle of the mountain, and what was revealed was only the tip of the iceberg, and the people wandering around were all relatively low-level zombies, and the alchemy of the Rotten Corpse Daoist was obtained from a zombie by chance. ”
"The gap in the ancient tomb is only not in and out, there is a layer of formation that shrouds the ancient tomb, once my sect master and the other two sect masters went to inspect together, that formation after feeling the spiritual power fluctuations of the monks in the spiritual period, they actually took the initiative to release a large amount of corpse qi, and the three sect masters also retreated in time, so they were not infected by corpse qi. ”
Qian Sen continued: "Later, our three sects sent some innate disciples to investigate, but the ancient tomb did not react, so the sect master guessed that the formation of the ancient tomb should have the ability to judge the strength of the monks, but we could not break through the formation barrier with the fire spirit technique. ”
"Senior Brother Yun was also killed by a sneak attack by the Immortal Dao people because he was stationed in a nearby village. Lu Ming said a little sadly.
Chen Xuanqi sorted out the ins and outs of the future before he understood the causal relationship between them, and this Gui Lao specially asked him to demonstrate the miraculous effect of thunder and lightning in restraining zombies, which probably also led to this topic.
Gui Lao stroked his beard and said: "The little brother has miraculous merits, and he is the nemesis of such evil things, why not take it upon himself to eliminate harm for the people and protect the peace of the villagers?"
Chen Xuanqi smiled secretly in his heart, he knew the plan in the heart of this old man, he said it lightly, and he could easily eliminate harm for the people, and the formation could not be broken through by the gods and monks, and its strength could be imagined, even if he could break the formation ban, he didn't know what kind of danger would be waiting for him.
"The junior is just a congenital early stage monk, and it is not easy to get rid of a decaying corpse Daoist, not to mention the ancient tomb that even the Sect Master of the Road is not sure of, so there is nothing the junior can do. Chen Xuanqi pretended to be helpless.
After Qian Sen and Lu Ming heard Chen Xuanqi's polite refusal, their expressions also dimmed, the corpse qi leaking from the ancient tomb brought them a lot of trouble, and a large part of the time spent on cultivation on weekdays became going out to kill corpses.
But at this time, Gui Lao laughed, and then said: "The old man knows that you are worried about the little brother, although the old man said so, but the reward that should be given will not be owed to you, and around the ancient tomb, many elixirs that are beneficial to the spiritual sense grow very well, which should be the reason why the souls of those zombies dissipate after death." ”
Chen Xuanqi's heart moved, he was not interested in the reward that Gui Lao said earlier, the reason for his heart was the latter sentence.
As soon as his spiritual sense moved, the Heavenly Tribulation in the sea of consciousness was still in a state of recovering his soul power, and a little green light floated out of the seedling's body, which merged into the soul body of the Heavenly Tribulation to help him recover.
According to the words of the Heavenly Tribulation, the more soul power this seedling absorbs, the stronger Chen Xuanqi's sea consciousness and spiritual sense will be, and the soul power of the Heavenly Tribulation will naturally replenish faster and faster.
"I wonder what grade the highest-grade elixir is found there?"
"This matter involves an agreement between the three cases, the old man can't reveal it, little brother, you should think about it. ”
Gui Lao was not worried about whether Chen Xuanqi would take over this errand at all, he said to Lu Ming: "Help your senior brother Qian in first, and then take the little brother back to the wing room to rest." ”
Lu Ming helped Qian Sen into the house, but Gui Lao himself turned around and left the small courtyard, and Chen Xuanqi stood alone in the courtyard waiting for Lu Ming to come out.
After a while, Lu Ming settled Qian Sen before walking out slowly, Chen Xuanqi followed him as he walked, and asked, "This Gui Lao's status in your sect doesn't look low." ”
"Of course, almost every disciple of our sect has been treated by Gui Lao, although Gui Lao's cultivation is not high, but in terms of medical skills, his old man is not inferior to those second-class sect doctors. When Lu Ming mentioned Gui Lao, his expression became respectful.
Chen Xuanqi continued to ask, "Is his old man an alchemist?"
Lu Ming shook his head and said, "No, although Elder Gui doesn't know how to refine pills, he knows the medicinal properties of elixirs well, and the potions he developed are no worse than those healing pills." ”
On this continent, there is actually a big difference between the elixir and the elixir, the elixir is the use of the medicinal properties between the elixirs, you need to be very familiar with the medicinal properties to be able to match successfully, the elixirs that do not match the medicinal properties are mixed together and it is easy to turn the good medicine into poison.
The elixir is that the monk uses spiritual power to condense the essence of the elixir in a small pill, whether the medicinal properties of the elixir are mutually beneficial and does not affect the probability of becoming a pill, all rely on the monk's spiritual power and skills, and there is the choice of alchemy Danhuo.
Gui Lao is a doctor who is quite talented in the configuration of potions, in fact, he has not joined the Liuyun Sect for a long time, at the beginning, he also traveled around, looking for more elixirs he didn't know, but after knowing that there was a corpse disaster in his hometown, he rushed back to help treat the villagers infected by the corpse qi, and later was invited by Lu Ziye to join the Liuyun Sect.
"It is said that saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, Gui Lao is so kind-hearted, it is really rare in the world. Chen Xuanqi couldn't help but sigh.
"Chen... Brother Chen, in fact, you don't have to go to the ancient tomb to take risks, although those zombies bother us more, but they didn't cause too serious damage, Gui Lao is concerned about the villagers, so you will think about it. Lu Ming said awkwardly.
Chen Xuanqi patted Lu Ming's shoulder and said, "I naturally know it in my heart, thank you Brother Lu for thinking about me." ”
He actually had a decision in his heart, but he definitely didn't go alone, although the three sects were all small sects in the mountains, it was no problem to send out a few disciples from the contemplation period to accompany him.
The two walked through a long corridor and came to several wings that were connected together, Lu Ming took Chen Xuanqi to a room and said, "The environment here is relatively quiet, suitable for Brother Chen, you to recuperate, and when the dinner begins, I will have someone come over to inform you." ”
Chen Xuanqi arched his hand and said, "It's troublesome Brother Lu." ”
Lu Ming nodded and turned to leave, after Chen Xuanqi pushed the door and walked into the room, the layout of this wing room was relatively simple, but there was a stove of sandalwood inside, which added a bit of elegance to the whole room.
He sat at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it with a bang, after he finished chatting with Lu Ziye and them, he was taken to Gui Lao's side and said so much, he was already thirsty.
He wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth, then took out three space bags and put them on the table, he took these three space bags from Chen Ruhui, and now he finally has time to open them and take a look.
At the beginning, Wu Yi's space bag gave him a small surprise, and he didn't know what good things would be in these three space bags, so he couldn't wait to open the first one.
The most conspicuous thing in this space bag is the small pile of spirit stones, which are basically metallic spirit stones, about twenty pieces, more than the one on Chen Xuanqi's body.
"Metallic, it should be Wu Huan's space bag. ”
Among the three people, only Wu Huan was a gold-based monk, and the metallic spirit stones were more effective for his spiritual power recovery, so he kept all the gold-based spirit stones issued by the sect, but he didn't expect it to be cheaper now Chen Xuanqi.
There is also a spiritual weapon in the space bag, which is a short knife, the blade is shining with a bright light, and the word "Huan" is engraved on the hilt, which seems to be a yellow-level low-grade spiritual weapon refined by Wu Huan himself.
In the end, there was only one spiritual recipe left, that is, the "Golden Light Sword Technique" that Wu Huan cultivated, which was of little value to Chen Xuanqi, and there was still a copy of this spiritual recipe in the Tongbao Building of the sect.
Next is the space bag of the other two, Chen Xuanqi doesn't know where they come from, and the contents of the space bag may give him some clues.
He didn't bother to investigate one by one, and directly the contents of Duan Shang's space bag fell on the table, and after a "bang", a bunch of things appeared on the table.
"Rich, rich!"
Chen Xuanqi's eyes were glowing with golden light, looking at the pile of things on the table, the most conspicuous of which was ten palm-sized spirit stones with strong spiritual energy, that is, one medium-grade spirit stone that could be worth dozens of lower-grade spirit stones.
"Four water spirit stones, three wood spirit stones, and three earth spirit stones..."Chen Xuanqi sorted out the ten medium-grade spirit stones according to their attributes, and then put them into his space bag, "It's a pity that there are no metal and fire attributes, but it would be good if they had wood attributes." ”
Then he continued to look at other things, these ten pieces of medium-grade spirit stones had already given him a great surprise, he didn't expect this business to be so rich, he saw that there was a piece of black ore that was particularly conspicuous, he reached out to take it, but found that the ore was extremely heavy, he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and he didn't recognize the origin of this ore.
"Wait until you get to town, and then find someone to do it. ”
What he saw this time was a token made of metal, engraved on the surface of the token with a big word "for", he picked up the token, found that the material of the token was very cold, his fingers held on the back felt the concave and convex feeling, he flipped the token over and looked, only to see that the other side of the token was engraved with a "paragraph" word.
Chen Xuanqi was angry, slapped the token on the table, and said in a low voice: "Okay, you Duan Jiuzhong, you actually teamed up with the Wu family to attack me, the original sect struggle, since you are so ruthless." ”
After a long time, he calmed down the anger in his heart, he and Duan Jiuzhong had no grudges in the past, since Duan Jiuzhong helped Wu Huan, there was naturally only one reason, that is, he didn't want Chen Xuanqi to be in the limelight and suppress him.
