Chapter 182: Bluestone Cave
The undercurrent swelled, completely breaking the calm on the surface of the dark mountain forest, but the silence of the valley had returned to harmony.
On the bluestone, Li Ding, who was sitting cross-legged, looked at the end of the valley, and looked at the dense bushes in the distance under the dim light, and he didn't know how long it would take to find the exit.
Looking at the stone wall behind him, the originally smooth stone wall has broken and collapsed, dilapidated, and the huge bluestone under him has lost its previous appearance, and it is surrounded by stones of different sizes.
However, all this did not seem to cause any harm to Li Ding, but instead made his body become more and more powerful, the meridians became more spacious and tough, and the Yuan Qi in the dantian became more full and vigorous.
However, when Li Ding felt the changes in his body due to misfortune, he also calmly knew the reason for all these changes, that is, Xiao Dan's medicinal power, because at this moment, the medicinal power hidden in his body had almost been exhausted.
Reaching out to touch his chest, Li Ding felt a powerful beating of his heart, which was his own heart, but there seemed to be no trace of blood connection, this strange feeling made people extremely uncomfortable.
"Xiao Dan......" Li Ding said gloomily, but no matter how he called, he didn't get a single response.
Suddenly, the feeling that had just made Li Ding extremely happy disappeared in an instant, and a strange sense of loss crept into his heart again.
For a while, Li Ding was remorseful and hateful.
If he hadn't lost his mind and broken down Cuiwei Mountain, he wouldn't have met Zhong Hong with ill intentions; if he hadn't ventured into Gusang City, he wouldn't have met Master Zhou again; if he hadn't left Gongshui alone, maybe he wouldn't have been captured by Duan Hu's people, and if he knew that Xiao Dan would do that, it would be such a consequence, and he would rather none of this happen.
But if that's if. It's a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to regret it. At this moment, the realization of some of the previous ones. Li Ding suddenly had some new insights.
In any case, Li Ding would not be stupid enough to fall into this meaningless moaning without illness, but the strange sense of loss in his heart lingered like a maggot attached to the bone.
After pondering for a moment, Li Ding tried to suppress his remorse, but found that this was completely self-deception, and he couldn't help but think about it all. In the final analysis, Li Ding only hated his lack of strength, let alone protecting the people around him. Even self-protection is a problem.
At this moment, Li Ding tried his best to keep his mind clear, but his body was suppressed by something and he was uncomfortable. Maybe he just needs to find a way to vent the unhappiness in his heart, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to vent, and Li Ding feels a depression that he has never felt before.
Resentment, repression. The chaotic thoughts constantly disturbed Li Ding's mind. At the same time, it also affects the vitality in his body. Sitting cross-legged on the bluestone, Li Ding's hands clenched together unnaturally, and a trace of white arc jumped on his fist.
"Ah......h
Suddenly, Li Ding roared angrily, and his right fist slammed into the bluestone. There was a bang, several arcs flickered, and in the sound, a whirlwind spread out from the bluestone. The air surged, blowing the surrounding rubble to the side.
See here. Li Ding was stunned for a moment, raised his right hand to take a closer look, only to feel that the meridians were filled with a sense of violent power, and those scattered thunder qi that was wandering away seemed to be about to rush out of the acupuncture points.
Li Ding couldn't help but move, mobilizing the thunder attribute vitality in the dantian to quickly gather to the palm of his hand along the specific meridians, and in the sound of Zizi, a jumping and flickering thunderball took shape in his hand, and Li Ding immediately sensed a feeling that he had never felt before.
The appearance of the same thunderball, but showing a different kind of fluctuations, the most incredible is that the thunderball is completely composed of thunder attribute vitality, but it looks so massive.
What's even more surprising is that the fluctuations emitted by the thunderball are increasing with Li Ding's excitement, and it seems that as long as Li Ding wants, he can throw it out at any time, without worrying about it bursting uncontrollably.
Feeling that sense of quality and experiencing strange fluctuations, Li Ding gradually found that the surrounding thunder attribute primordial spirits were also being affected by this fluctuation, as if a chain reaction, quickly vibrating.
In the excitement, Li Ding stood up suddenly, and threw the thunderball out with a wave of his hand. His face lit up with joy as the thunderball swept in a straight line towards the bushes in front of him.
But just one moment, the smile on Li Ding's face instantly froze there, and he blocked the door with his hand in panic and jumped backwards.
"Pop ......"
The white lightning flickered, and even though Li Ding's speed was fast, the thunderball still exploded only four feet away from him, and the impact caused by the explosion brought a wave of qi and pushed him directly to the edge of the stone wall.
Leaning against the stone wall, Li Ding was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed knowingly, as if the discomfort in his heart had been swept away.
Because although he almost injured himself, no matter what, just a moment ago, Li Ding clearly grasped the key to the transformation of the thunder qi from the body, and the power of the thunderball explosion made him very satisfied.
Thinking carefully about the strange fluctuations presented by the thunderball just now, Li Ding was about to gather the thunderball again, but found that there seemed to be light coming out of the black hole that appeared after the stone tablet sank into the bluestone before, and hesitated for a moment, Li Ding slowly approached and looked down.
A staircase about three feet wide descended along the entrance to a huge underground cavern, inlaid with phosphostone on both sides of the cave, reflecting the cave in a pale green fluorescence.
The bluestone cave is round and below, and there are four or five zhang size, and there are clear traces of artificial carving in the cave. After observing and finding that there was nothing unusual in the cave, Li Ding slowly went down to the cave, but saw that in the empty cave, the tall stone tablet was standing in front of a wide stone platform in the center of the cave at this time.
"Could it be that this is Dugu Weiyang's tomb!" Li Ding looked at the stone tablet and thought, and found that there was a large stone box carved with exquisite patterns on the stone platform, the stone box was boxy, almost half a person high, and there were several broken black jade pieces in front, which could probably be seen as a fragment of a jade bottle.
Looking at the appearance of the stone box, it should be a vessel for holding items, thinking of the words he saw on the stone wall outside the cave before, Li Ding couldn't help but be shocked, you must know that Dugu Weiyang had clearly said that all the things he had learned and learned all his life were left in the tomb, maybe he would be placed in this stone box.
As you can imagine. What a Heaven Opening Realm powerhouse left behind must not be ordinary, this would be the dream of any cultivator, and Li Ding, who had experienced everything before, was naturally no exception.
But there was a lesson from before. Li Ding no longer dared to touch the stone box with his vitality, so he had to circle around the stone box, and suddenly found that there were a few lines of words engraved on the stone platform.
"Whether it is good or evil, a snap of a finger, life or death, the soul is divided. ”
Li Ding didn't delve into the literal meaning, and he couldn't see the clue from the appearance of the stone box. When he didn't dare to use his vitality at will, he had to unleash his soul power and try to probe inside the stone box.
Although Li Ding is only in the early stage of Ning Yuan. But several times he didn't die, and by chance, his soul power increased several times, and he already had a heart eye that needed to be formed by the clear mind realm, which was simply impossible according to common sense. But it really happened to Li Ding.
The soul power is opened. Li Ding's vision immediately became unusual, and there were circles of lilac halos emitting from the originally lifeless stone box, and if you carefully observed, it turned out that the surrounding thunder attribute primordial spirits were showing a strange shock.
What surprised Li Ding was that he didn't have the slightest sense of this strange thunder attribute yuan spirit shock before, if it weren't for his special soul power, with his true strength, he would never have been able to find it.
Feel a weird concussion. Li Ding's soul power was like an invisible hand, and the stone platform and stone box were all included in his vision. And layer by layer, sweeping through the gray-brown barrier, he really slowly entered the stone box, only to see the lilac halo from the inside out, which allowed him to vaguely see the scene inside the stone box.
At this moment, Li Ding directly gasped, because what appeared in his vision was a human skeleton, and the purple light seemed to be emitted from the skeleton. The skeleton is seated, and the sleek skeleton is not connected by flesh and blood, but it is fairly intact.
Li Ding didn't expect that the stone box was actually a coffin containing a dead person, and calmed down for a while, he found that except for the bones in the stone box, there was nothing inside and outside the stone platform and the stone box that looked like exercises and martial arts, which made Li Ding disappointed.
During the contraction of soul power, looking at the handwriting of "Jade Dragon Heavenly Monarch Dugu Weiyang's Tomb" on the stone tablet, Li Ding was not sure who the bones were in the stone box, and what it had to do with Dugu Weiyang, he only felt that he could be buried in such a secret place, and he must not be an ordinary person.
Suddenly, Li Ding thought that the remnant soul that had attacked him before came from this cave, and maybe it had something to do with the bones in the stone box. And from the upside-down words in the mouth of the remnant soul, it was known that he and Dugu Weiyang seemed to have a lot of grudges, but for a while, Li Ding couldn't understand those words, and he only felt very strange.
Just thinking about it, Li Ding's gaze inadvertently swept over the hollow eye sockets of the skeleton, staring at those eye sockets, Li Ding guessed what this person would look like before his death.
The edge of the extended soul power touched the bones lightly, and Li Ding suddenly felt that his vision trembled, and the bones under the soul power seemed to shake, and the faint purple light was also rippling.
This frightened Li Ding a lot, and his soul power strengthened in a hurry, but when he saw that the bones were actually full of purple light, something seemed to pull his consciousness, and for a while, the sky was dizzy, and his soul power became scattered, and some strange symbols made him feel in a trance.
It seemed to be about to devour Li Ding's consciousness, this surprise was not trivial, if he encountered another terrible thing like a remnant soul that almost took his body, Li Ding couldn't resist it.
However, what relieved Li Ding was that he had already mastered the edge of his soul power, and he pulled his consciousness back as if he had touched a real thing.
With a little peace of mind, Li Ding no longer dared to approach the skeleton on the edge of his soul power, for fear that he would accidentally really lose consciousness and regret it.
But just now, Li Ding also unexpectedly discovered something unusual.
At that moment, Li Ding faintly sensed that his consciousness was being pulled, and those strange symbols that appeared in a trance seemed to represent a certain meaning.
"Could it be that there is something strange in the bones?" Thinking that it might be his soul power that had inadvertently triggered something, Li Ding was surprised and delighted. It's just that this process is unpredictable, and accidents will really happen.
Just as Li Ding was thinking about what to do, his brows furrowed, and his expression became nervous, because he actually sensed several completely different vitality fluctuations, although they were very weak, they were obviously approaching his location. (To be continued......)
