Chapter 197: Treasure
You must know that although Zhou You does not hold any official position, with the identity of a seven-grade alchemist, he has a very high status in the royal family. The reason why Ji Kun dared to disdain Zhou You was because there was more than one seventh-grade alchemist known with his power, but a person of Wang Yue's status still had to pay three respects to Zhou You.
Zhou You's words naturally made everyone around him look at him, but he suddenly looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and glanced at the old man of the black soil, the meaning couldn't be clearer, he wanted to take a step to speak.
Zhou You's actions surprised Ji Kun and the old man of the black soil at the same time, but in confusion, he took the lead and walked towards the top of the mountain, and Wang Yue and the others also retreated a distance in interest.
There are two Xuankong Realm powerhouses here, even if everyone is curious, naturally no one dares to eavesdrop.
When there were only three people left, Zhou You said: "Two adults, although the news of the arrest of Li Ding has become well-known, the real purpose behind it is actually to ask about the whereabouts of Liu Ling's girl. It's just that until now, only traces of Li Ding have been found, and there is no news about the girl at all, but just now I remembered one thing. ”
Ji Kun frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, I should have objected to you Zhou You leading this matter in the first place." ”
Zhou You immediately bowed down and said: "Zhou You knows that his sins are unforgivable, but Zhou You's loyalty to the royal family can be seen every day, and there are no two hearts. ”
The old man of the black soil said: "People are careless, horses have stumbled, Master Zhou went to Chenjia Village alone to hide people's eyes, not to mention that he has tried his best in the battle of Gusang City, and even now he is still injured." ”
In front of the old man of the black soil. Ji Kun knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to snort coldly, and Zhou You continued: "I know that the two adults were in retreat at the time of the incident. But you must know the results of the 'Babel Mirror'. ”
The Babel Mirror is a large-scale secret device, which gathers martial artists with special sensing abilities together, and infinitely amplifies this special ability through mysterious methods, surpassing the soul power of advanced cultivators, and this infinitely amplified energy can perceive things that ordinary cultivators cannot perceive and all changes beyond a long distance, and even the opening and closing of spatial rifts.
The old man of the black soil said, "Is there something wrong?"
Zhou You said: "There is nothing wrong, at the time of the incident, it was also the Lucky Medicine Palace that was testing the Heavenly Mirror. I happened to find that there was a spatial rift around Gusang City, and I also rushed to Gusang City based on this, not wanting to find Li Ding's traces. ”
"If you had reported it immediately. Nor will the next thing happen. Ji Kun blamed.
Zhou You said with a guilty face: "It was Zhong Linyun who discovered Li Ding, and the person he caught in his city naturally wanted to sell him a favor to count him as his first merit, but I didn't expect to kill a Xuankong Realm powerhouse halfway." ”
Ji Kun's face changed and said, "Zhong Linyun is a waste. But what's the use of saying that at this point. Zhou You, what do you want to say?"
Zhou You was stunned for a moment and said: "I want to say that until now, there has only been news of Li Ding's kid, but there is no news of Liu Ling, and we have also put our minds on Li Ding, but the two escaped together, is there a possibility, at this time, the girl is hiding somewhere around Gusang City." ”
Ji Kun sneered and said, "I thought you had discovered something important." I have long thought of this, after the change of Gusang City. I've sent my henchmen to scrutinize all the locations around the city, but nothing has come from me until now. ”
Zhou You was stunned for a moment, and the old man of the black soil said: "I went out of the customs one day later than the Taishi, but the Taishi thought of the idea of this matter, and hoped that the Taishi's people could bring good news." ”
Ji Kun smiled noncommittally and said: "The Alchemist Conference is imminent, there is no time, this matter has been painstakingly managed by the king for ten years, and it must not fall short." ”
After speaking, the eyes of the three of them were ruthless, but only they knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
For a while, there was a helpless calm outside the valley, and although Ji Kun and the others were strong, they couldn't enter the enchantment, and they couldn't know what was happening inside the enchantment for the first time.
The only thing they could do was wait, waiting for reinforcements from the royal city to come in advance.
At the same moment, under the valley within the barrier, after some clearing, the earth and rocks in the deep pit had been completely emptied. In the pile of earth and rocks piled up on the side, several corpses were shocking, they were Mustache and Niu Si and others, but this only surprised Yi Kaiming and them, and did not attract too much attention.
In this world where the strong are respected and speak with strength, it is very common for dead people to be killed, even if the officers and soldiers who have fought and lived together in the past will not attract much concern and attention if they do not have a fateful friendship. Death means that strength is not good, and the dead will be quickly forgotten.
Yi Kaiming and the others stood on top of the deep pit and looked down in surprise, because the pit presented in front of them was obviously dug out by hand.
Although this pit has suffered a lot of damage, but the general outline is still clearly visible, the bottom of the cave is four zhang square lying half of the broken stone tablet, which is deliberately not cleaned out, the stone tablet is impressively engraved with the words "Jade Dragon Tianjun".
"It turned out to be the tomb of the ancestors, and if I catch Yi Zhenglin, I will definitely break his body into ten thousand pieces. Yi Kaiming's eyes widened, as if he was about to breathe fire. But soon he put away his anger, and his face became solemn, showing his calmness.
Saying that, Yi Kaiming flew into the cave, and everyone followed, only to see that the Soul Exploration Treasure in Yi Kaiming's hand emitted a dazzling multicolored light in an instant, and the strange thing was that the Soul Exploration Treasure Pendant with a black body gradually became transparent at this moment, as if it had become a multicolored crystal, and it looked mysterious under the colorful light.
Yi Kaiming moved his steps slowly, and gradually his face changed from solemn to excited, and his eyes also showed irrepressible excitement.
"There's got to be something buried down here, dig it out for me. Suddenly, Yi Kaiming stopped, pointed down with one hand and shouted. It was exactly where the stone platform was before, and the place that Yi Kaiming was referring to was exactly where the stone box containing the bones was located.
Yi Kaiming's eyes lit up, and Uncle Da beside him said with a look in his eyes: "I didn't feel anything abnormal under the casting of my soul power. It seems that if it weren't for the Soul Exploration Treasure, it would have been impossible to find this treasure. ”
Hearing Uncle Da mention the word treasure, everyone became more and more excited. The bearded captain who had used the earth attribute martial arts to hollow out the deep pit couldn't help but recommend himself: "Please Brother Ming take a step back." I'm going to break through the rocks below. ”
Everyone retreated one after another, and the bearded man's body immediately surged, and a strong aura emanated, only to hear him shout: "Break." His right hand slammed into the place that Yi Kaiming was pointing, and a strong force instantly sank into the ground.
With a low roar, the ground shook continuously, centered on the bearded palm. The cracks continued to expand and expand, and as the bearded man's vitality continued to be injected, the rocks below shattered one by one. Slowly floating upwards above his head, a circular cavern about a man deep of five or six feet in diameter was gradually opened around him, and where he stood was only a conical slender stone pillar.
At this moment, the strength of the bearded imperial spirit in the middle stage was undoubtedly revealed. Its martial arts of using qi to resist the earth are also vividly displayed. Suddenly. The bearded man jumped up, and at the same time that his body was in the air, his palm was raised violently, and an invisible force violently followed, and the stone pillar he had just stood on in the middle of the circular cave suddenly turned into rubble, and the gravel floating above his head was thrown aside by that force.
Here, as the cave opened, a ray of purple light flashed. The Soul Exploration Treasure in Yi Kaiming's hand had become completely transparent, and it could be seen that it was a small dot in the middle of the Treasure Pendant that emitted colorful light. At this time, the little dot was constantly jumping, like a living weird elf, looking extremely excited.
The Spirit Exploration Treasure Pendant, as the name suggests, is a tool that can detect treasures, made of special spirit stones, which contains a 'spirit essence', which is said to be formed by the blood dripping from ancient divine beasts, and has the magical power to perceive all the spiritual sources of heaven and earth. Normally, the elves do not react in any way, but they react when something containing an aura appears in the vicinity.
It's just that the Soul Exploration Treasure is extremely valuable, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have it. Normally, the Soul Exploration Treasure Pendant will only emit a white light, representing the appearance of a spiritual object, the stronger the light, the richer the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual object, and it will emit a red light when encountering a special spiritual object, and today the Treasure Pendant in Yi Kaiming's hand actually jumped directly over the red light, shining with a colorful light that will only appear when encountering the best spiritual object, how not to make people excited.
"What is hidden underneath, the spirit spirit in the treasure pendant is completely revealed, as if it is about to break out of the shell!" "Looking at the changes in the spirit exploration treasure pendant, Yi Kaiming was also difficult to calm down, and excitedly stepped forward to look into the cave, this look he couldn't help but be shocked all over his body, and he was stunned.
I saw that there was a purple egg-like thing lying at the bottom of the cave, but this egg was three feet long, and the surface of the egg seemed to be soft when you looked closely, and it was slowly shrinking and expanding, like a living thing.
Yi Kaiming, as the fourth prince of the Southern Ming Kingdom, is different from his three royal brothers who only focus on cultivation, except for necessary practice, he is usually full of interest in strange things from the past and present, so he has read and checked a large number of ancient books, and he has seen a similar description in an ancient book.
If what the book says is correct, this egg-shaped thing is called the Spirit Egg, which is full of pure energy, and is a tool used to preserve psychic treasures, and the energy in it is comparable to the best spiritual source that can be used directly for cultivation. The larger the shape, the more energy there is, and the more valuable the treasures naturally preserved, because the treasures of the psychic can be nourished by the spiritual source.
Here, looking at the giant egg at the bottom of the cave, Uncle Da also opened his mouth in shock, and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... Could this be the legendary spirit egg? ”
Hearing Uncle Da's words, Yi Kaiming couldn't help but say in a heartbeat: "Uncle Da knows this thing?"
After stabilizing his mood, Uncle Da said: "According to legend, the strong people of the Open Heaven Realm will draw their own vitality into spiritual eggs, and inject them into the spiritual source to preserve the spiritual treasures and spiritual weapons, and because these treasures will continue to consume the spiritual source, the larger the spiritual egg, the more precious the precious, if this thing is really a spiritual egg, I don't know how long it has been buried here, and it is still so big." ”
On the side, the bearded captain couldn't help but exclaim: "Since this is the tomb of the Jade Dragon Heavenly Monarch, is it ...... Could it be that this spirit egg contains ......?"
The bearded man was speechless in surprise, but as soon as he said this, his eyes became brighter and brighter for a while. He could never have imagined that he would have such an opportunity to obtain the treasure left by the powerhouse of the Open Heaven Realm. (To be continued......)
