Chapter 451: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
The crypt is deep. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The three of them circled down the stone steps, and after walking for about a cup of tea, the cave went from vertical down to horizontal.
Hu Ban walked slowly in front of him, and kept reminding Gu Wen and the two of them to pay attention to various traps and traps.
Most of these traps are quite different from the popular formation traps in the fairy world. Whether it is the principle, the arrangement, the conditions for triggering the trap and the lethality of the trap, it is a bit insidious and weird.
According to Hu Ban's introduction, these are basically obtained through the excavation of ancient tombs. Most people who are not in this business will not be able to escape calculation.
There are no lighting tools such as torches in the crypt, but the green ice of Heluo Star is extremely transparent, and it seems that it can still emit a faint fluorescence, even if it is not facing the side of Bai Ye Star, it still does not appear dark.
In addition, the immortal's eyesight is extraordinary, and it does not cause any obstacles to movement.
After walking for nearly an hour, we came to the end of the road, which was already deep into the belly of the mountain, according to the distance. At the end of the road is a stone gate that is not too high.
Hu Ban sighed: "Two, we have arrived. Behind this door is my lifelong collection. Except for the treasures promised to the two, most of the things are worthless, purely for commemoration, don't be surprised by the two. ā
As he spoke, he took out a few more strange-shaped things and pasted them on the four corners of the door. The stone gate emitted a faint silver light, sliding open to the sides, and a thick ice mist floated out from behind the stone gate.
Hu Ban waved his sleeves, strode into the house, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, for fear of damage to things, a low temperature is specially set inside." Habit is ....."
As he was talking, Hu Ban suddenly stayed in place with his mouth wide open as if he had been hit by a fixing spell.
Gu Wen bypassed his side, only to see Hu Ban's facial muscles twitching, and it took a long time to squeeze out half a sentence: "No... It's gone....it's all gone. ā
"What's all gone?" Feng Wushuang also followed, and when he saw Hu Ban's weirdness, he asked.
At this time, the ice fog cleared. Gu Wen and Feng Wushuang looked around, and saw that in this room, which was ten zhang long and wide, there was nothing except the four cold walls, and it was empty.
"Is it gone, or is it not at all?" Feng Wushuang doubted.
"It's gone, it's all gone. Hu Ban muttered distractedly: "My ten boxes of Immortal Pearls, Ten Thousand Amethyst Dou, Shangxian Golden Body Relic, Dead Sea Scroll Fragments... My ancient treasures, my fragments of fighting spirits, the spiritual roots ascending to pearls, and the tears of the heavens..."
"It's all gone. Why is this happening? Who did it? Who is it?" Hu Ban suddenly became furious: ", you actually swept away all my hidden treasures. All my life's work has been in vain. Who is so vicious?"
As if he had lost his mind, Hu Ban rushed left and right in the secret room, constantly roaring: "Oh my God! Without these collections, what is the point of my life? I might as well die!"
As he spoke, he really hit the wall headlong, as if he was going to commit suicide by hitting the wall.
Gu Wen and Feng Wu were expressionless, watching Hu Ban perform there. If an immortal can hit a wall and die, it is really a strange thing.
Sure enough, the ice wall was like tofu, and Hu Ban pierced a big hole. Hu Ban rushed into the wall half-bodyed, his legs crossed out, looking a little funny.
Suddenly, Feng Wushuang shouted angrily: "The thief is leaving!" saw that it was like someone dragging on the wall, and Hu Ban had already gotten into it with a snort. The walls were restored in an instant.
Feng Wushuang slapped it with one palm, and the wall, which was originally as fragile as tofu, was as solid as gold and iron, and only a shallow palm print was printed on the wall.
"Oh no! We've been fooled. Feng Wushuang said hurriedly, dragging Gu Wen, who seemed to be at a loss, towards the door. But I saw that the gate had been closed as before.
Feng Wushuang lifted the immortal yuan and slapped it out with all his strength, and the stone gate only shook slightly, without any damage.
Feng Wushuang wanted to make another move, but Gu Wen shook his head and said, "Shuang'er, don't worry. Hu Ban is deliberately trying to trick us into the secret room, and he will not let us escape easily. ā
"Fortunately, we also have the means to control him, let's see how we negotiate the conditions. ā
Feng Wushuang nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the true fire is activated, he will be burned to ashes." ā
At this time, Hu Ban's proud voice came from the corner of the wall: "What about the two of you, this fake treasure room now, but I specially built it to prevent danger, and it is extremely strong." Even if Meng Xian and Ya Xian come in, it will be difficult to escape. ā
"If you burn me to death with real fire, I'm afraid you'll be trapped here too. I have a bad life, in exchange for two young people with unlimited futures, that is earned. ā
"Now that everyone is worried about each other, let's talk about the conditions. Maybe we can be safe with each other?"
Gu Wen smiled slightly: "Boss Hu, do you think we will still believe what you say now?" Shuang'er, ignite the fire." ā
Feng Wushuang agreed, and he had to recite the mantra.
Hu Ban hurriedly shouted: "Wait! Why do you want to lose both? How about everyone taking a step back? I can't give you that thing, but I have a lot of other good things. I can let you pick and choose, how about that?"
"No," Gu Wen didn't bother to raise his head: "The most important thing in business is reputation." If you don't abide by basic morality, who will still do business with you? Listen to Boss Hu, that thing is not a fake, and it hasn't been destroyed, right?"
"Hehe, ruined? This thing can't be destroyed at all. Hu Ban was not without pride: "Actually, depending on the meaning of the two, I don't know what this thing is." Even if I give it to you, I can't judge the authenticity. ā
"Is it?" Gu Wen was noncommittal: "Boss Hu, do you want to show the baby, let me see if it is valuable." Maybe what works for you doesn't actually mean anything to me at all. ā
"Hahaha" Hu Ban laughed loudly: "Okay, I'll show you." However, you'd better let Mrs. Zun not mess around, the business of two losses and one will not be worth it. ā
As he spoke, a square hole was opened in the wall, and a small box flew in and landed gently on the ground. Hu Ban said: "Let's say okay first, look at it, and you have to return it to me later." ā
Gu Wen stretched out his hand and held the box in his hand, only to see that the box was only the size of a palm, dark in color, etched and clumsy, and it seemed to have a good history. Such a small box actually has a heavy feeling, and obviously the quality of the contents is not light.
Feng Wushuang leaned over and touched the box curiously: "What treasure, open it and take a look?" said and reached out to open the treasure box.
Gu Wen seemed to want to stop it, but he was half a beat slower.
The treasure box was opened, and a bead was held on the purple cloud brocade inside. This jewel is the size of a duck's egg, the color is like ice, clear and white, and warm as jade. The most peculiar thing is that there is also a colorful halo on the orb, which is particularly charming.
"What a beautiful orb!" Feng Wushuang's eyes immediately lit up, and she slowly stretched out her finger to stroke the orb.
Seeing that Feng Wushuang's fingers were about to touch the orb, Gu Wen suddenly felt alarmed, and shouted, "Don't move!"
At this moment, the orb suddenly broke, and an incomparably strong cold current burst out from the orb, instantly sweeping the entire secret room.
Without breathing, even the air in the chamber seemed to be frozen, turning into frost covering the ground and walls.
Gu Wen and Feng Wushuang maintained the posture they had just now, and they were completely frozen by the bone-chilling ice. It seems that even time has been frozen. After a long while, Hu Ban's smug laughter sounded wildly in the secret room: "Hahahaha, fight with me?
The opposite wall slowly opened to both sides, and Hu Ban walked out of the secret room behind the wall with his hands behind his back and eight steps.
The inner chamber behind him was twice as large as the fake chamber outside, and in the middle were rows of shelves with many oddly shaped objects on display.
There were some ancient weapons hanging on the wall, and there were more than a dozen chests piled up in the corner, and the two gold beads scattered on them were shining.
Antiquities such as giant dings and large jade vases crowded the other corner, and next to it were two huge bookshelves lined with books, leather scrolls, and jade slips.
What is interesting is that Hu Ban took off the cloth robe on his body, changed into a set of golden dragon gowns, and wore twelve crowns on his head, which was ancient, but it was the costume of the emperor of the world.
Hu Ban laughed endlessly, walked to the ice sculptures of Gu Wen and Feng Wushuang, and flicked the sleeves of his robe: "Is Uncle Hu's things so easy to take?
After circling Gu Wen and Feng Wushuang twice, Hu Ban smiled: "Yes, although this little woman is spicy, she looks quite cute, and she can be stored in the Jade Maiden Ice Vault." ā
"As for this idiot surnamed Gu, it is also excellent to draw out his soul and train to become a ghost, and open the way in front when he fights backwards. ā
As he spoke, he touched his chest and abdomen: "This is really hot, and the torture is not light." Fortunately, this is a prosperous planet for ice immortals. As long as it is slowly abrased with ice-based immortal yuan, there will always be a day when it will be cleaned up. ā
"Although this trip is very risky and has suffered a lot, it is still worth it to finally get the winning stone. ā
Thinking of the smugness, Hu Ban pointed at Gu Wen and laughed: "Idiot, I don't even know what the treasure in Uncle Hu's hand is, and I still want to come to get a piece of the pie, it's funny." The treasure rolls in your hand several times, and you don't even know it. ā
Saying that, Hu Ban took out the gray iron horse from the gourd and shook it twice in front of Gu Wen's nose: "What's the matter? I can't imagine that the uncle hid the treasure in the iron horse, right?"
At this moment, the figure flashed, and the iron horse in Hu Ban's hand disappeared.
Hu Ban turned around in shock, but saw a person outside the door of the secret room holding an iron horse, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it either." Well hidden, thank you!"
