Chapter 131: The Mystery of Life and Death Cracking the Formation
The burial chamber was now empty except for twelve dried corpses.
Zhang Xiaoshan first checked the surrounding walls, where he could not use his divine sense, and could only rely on his hands to tap on the walls to determine if there was a secret passage behind him.
He searched for half an hour, and in the middle of the process, he took out a sharp lightning bolt and broke a few pieces of bluestone. Thankfully, he's regained his mana, and it's not a matter of effort to do these things.
Since you can't find the entrance through normal methods, you have to find another way.
Zhang Xiaoshan recalled carefully, before he entered this tomb, he had seen a lot of scenes, and now that he thinks about it, these should be all fantasies, all for the purpose of introducing himself into the tomb, in this case, there must be a small teleportation array here.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly called Tu Qianqian out.
"Childe, is this place?" As soon as Tu Qianqian appeared, she discovered the abnormality here.
"Qianqian, listen to me, the current situation is a bit complicated, we are trapped in an ancient mound, I just searched once, but I didn't find the exit. I suspect there should be a small teleportation circle here, you are proficient in the formation, so look for it!"
Tu Qianqian nodded, she never objected to Zhang Xiaoshan's order, but immediately carried it out.
She took a disc from her bosom and walked around the chamber compared to the surrounding arrangement.
A quarter of an hour later, Tu Qianqian was puzzled: "Childe, the layout here is indeed a bit problematic, and it is very tricky!"
She pointed casually and introduced: "This formation is secretly in line with the way of heaven and earth, yin and yang, it should be arranged by a formation master, the so-called array in the array, mysterious and abnormal, but this senior deliberately left some flaws, so that future generations can investigate the mechanism here." Childe, please see, the four walls here cooperate with the tomb ceiling and the ground, which should be in harmony with the door opening, closing door, injury door, Du door, Jingmen, and surprise door in Qimen Dunjia. Among the eight gates, only the door of life and the door of death are missing, if we want to go out, we must enter the door of life, once we enter the door of death, it is a situation of death!"
"Have you found the other two doors?" Zhang Xiaoshan knew that Tu Qianqian must have discovered something, so he would say this.
"The two gates of life and death are on the corpses of the twelve fellow seniors around, using a kind of joint double ring array, twelve people have a total of six lives and six deaths, but five of them are fake, so the door of death has become eleven again, and there is only one door of life!"
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at one and said softly: "I think I know where the Shengmen is!" He casually took out the coffin that he had just put away, and then found the eighth picture, and said: "If there is only one Shengmen, it must be on the body of this senior!" He pointed his finger at the seventh monk, this person is the one who turned into a shadow, this person is now ruined, leaving only a dried corpse.
Tu Qianqian confirmed again, showed an excited look, and said loudly: "The ups and downs of the world, the ups and downs, the position of this senior is the only life." ”
The green fire that devoured a large number of spiritual weapons, its power has far exceeded that of ordinary high-grade spiritual weapons, mainly because the supernatural power "devouring" is too powerful, as long as it is close to contact, it will be affected by the devouring, not only the spiritual loss of the spiritual weapon, but even the monk himself will be hit hard.
The only way to deal with Qinghuo is long-range, which is also the main reason why Zhang Xiaoshan is eager to raise Qinghuo to the top grade, as long as it is a high-grade spiritual weapon, it will have its own spiritual sense, and the monk can control it more satisfactorily, and he can use long-range attack techniques. After Qinghuo is advanced to the upper grade, you can also use its long-range attacks against enemies, and the only flaw will be compensated.
Therefore, Qinghuo must rush to the advance of the family assembly.
Zhang Xiaoshan now has only a pair of heaven and earth spirit treasure gold and silver gourds, three congenitally grown treasure gourds, a high-grade spiritual weapon "Xuanhuo Ding", a high-grade spiritual weapon "lightning speed", and some low-grade spiritual weapons, he can't even take out a medium-grade spiritual weapon, of course these treasures he has can't be taken out and destroyed, these treasures are also very rare, and except for the gold and silver gourds, the rest have been dripping blood by him early on, once damaged, it will inevitably affect his cultivation.
But in addition to these, there are a lot of materials for refining their own weapons, but now it is too late to open the furnace and refine the weapons, even if the time comes, where can I find a refiner to refine? The family meeting is imminent, the entire Camel Fort is busy with this matter, the entire Baishi Mountain Range is in a mess, and I can't find enough refining masters at all.
Zhang Xiaoshan thought about it for a night, and finally made up his mind that only by buying it at a high price could he receive a medium-grade spiritual weapon, and he directly set an extremely exaggerated purchase quantity, and a thousand medium-grade spiritual stones would purchase a medium-grade spiritual weapon. This price is already eight or nine times the normal price, according to his assumption, he has to receive the spirit weapon as soon as possible if he suffers a loss, after all, it will take time for the green fire to devour other spirit weapons. On the second day, it was only half a day, and the entire Camel Fort knew that Zhang Xiaoshan had acquired a thousand medium-grade spiritual weapons, which was a good deal to make a fortune, and many people had their ideas, but the excess spiritual weapons in the hands of most people had already been sold to Zhang Xiaoshan, and the rest was used by themselves, and some people did have the idea of selling their natal spiritual treasures, after all, a thousand spiritual stones were enough to buy better spiritual weapons in the future, and it was appropriate to calculate it in exchange for such a huge fortune in exchange for short-term realm damage.
Just after the end of the day, Zhang Xiaoshan received five medium-grade spiritual weapons, these were originally the natal magic weapons of these disciples, because of the lifting of the touch brand, these monks were all pale, and they looked like their cultivation had been greatly damaged. However, after these people got thousands of medium-grade spirit stones, they all showed a satisfied appearance and left quickly, not even having the idea of talking to Zhang Xiaoshan. Zhang Xiaoshan also understands these children, although they have sold their natal spirit weapons, they will also feel ashamed, for fear that others will see them.
Zhang Xiaoshan also felt a little guilty, it didn't seem to matter if he did such a lure for his magic weapon, but in fact, these monks who sold spiritual weapons all committed a big taboo, just the so-called "greed and hatred!" This greed is the first, greedy for money, greedy for strength, greedy for wealth, this will affect the change of his mood. When it comes to cultivating the truth, the state of mind is the most important, and many monks have obviously been able to advance to a higher level in strength, but because their state of mind is not enough, they are always stuck in a low realm. I actually harmed these children, and these people are destined not to have too high achievements in the future.
Zhang Xiaoshan didn't expect the sixth spiritual artifact, but waited for Zhang Baichuan, the nominal patriarch of the Zhang family.
Zhang Baichuan frowned, and wanted to reprimand Zhang Xiaoshan several times, but he didn't say anything, so he could only say helplessly: "Uncle Shi, don't embarrass me! If you mess around on the mountain like this, I'm afraid that people's hearts will be confused, and the future Council of Elders will not say that they will use this matter against you and me!"
What Zhang Baichuan said was restrained enough, this matter was indeed a mistake in Zhang Xiaoshan's judgment, and he didn't care about the bad impact that this matter might cause, he said guiltily: "Grandfather, I know it's wrong, please make it up for me!"
Zhang Baichuan said: "The five elders have already been arranged, and the law enforcement team in the family has been dispatched at this moment to strictly investigate the children of each room and hall who have medium-grade spiritual weapons, and no one is allowed to sell the spiritual weapons to you at will.
"Grandfather, it's me who didn't think it through!" Zhang Xiaoshan said.
"Alas!" Zhang Baichuan sighed: "You are also thinking about the family, but your style of acting is a little too straightforward and free, and you are not too young, you must learn to act flexibly and think more when encountering problems!"
Zhang Xiaoshan was helpless in his heart, his grandfather used words to imply that he should learn to be clever and strategize in doing things in the future, but what cultivators pursue is the way of heaven and earth, isn't it the best way to communicate with heaven and earth?
Zhang Baichuan looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, clapped his hands lightly, and a boy walked in outside the door, holding five spiritual weapons in his hands. He is the patriarch of the Zhang family, but he does not have a Qiankun Lingbao, and this kind of nominal patriarch is not a very important position.
"These five items are from the family treasury, you can use them!" Zhang Baichuan said: "If the number is not enough, you can go down the mountain overnight, the people and horses of the other two sects have already gathered in Beiding Mansion at this time, you can receive some from them, they are very interested in you, and they have been trying to win over you!"
Zhang Xiaoshan's mind suddenly became much clearer when he heard this, yes! Why didn't he think of this, he was really confused, the people and horses of the other two sects must be in the Beiding Mansion under the mountain at this time, why don't you go there to look for it. In the past thousand years of the Zhang family, the number of spiritual weapons refined by the huge number of foreign disciples is the most abundant, and it is really easy to buy some from them, and he prefers to spend a high price in the camel fort, he is really stupid, no wonder his grandfather blames himself.
"With that, I'm leaving!" Zhang Baichuan flicked his sleeves and got up to leave. Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly took out six high-grade spirit stones and put them in Zhang Baichuan's hand and said, "Thank you grandfather, five of these spirit stones are for the family, and one is for Xiaoshan to honor you!"
Zhang Baichuan smiled faintly and boasted: "The child can be taught!"
Zhang Xiaoshan took out the green fire and said with a wry smile: "For you, I have spent a lot! You must fight for your strength!" A golden brilliance shone on the body of the green fire sword, as if in response to Zhang Xiaoshan's words.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the ten medium-grade spiritual weapons, and felt that there were still some shortcomings, so he still decided to go down the mountain to take a look. Now there are too many things on the mountain, and he didn't tell others about it, but just took Tu Qianqian and Kui'er, received three horses from the Foreign Affairs Hall, and left the camel fort along the mountain road.
At this time, it is late autumn, the temperature in the north is already quite cold, the mountain road is planted on both sides of the tall and straight maple trees, at this time the crown of the tree is as red as blood, with the cold wind, the red leaves on the ground fly everywhere, quite a mood.
Zhang Xiaoshan explained to Tu Qianqian and the two of them all the way about the fun places in the city of Beidingfu, at this time they have reached the foot of the mountain, and they can enter Beidingfu after five miles, the high-rise buildings in the city can be seen here, and there are some farmers and traders on the side of the road, they have been protected by the Zhang family for generations, and when they saw Zhang Xiaoshan and the three of them walking down from Baishi Mountain, they naturally understood that these were people from the Zhang family, so they bent down and saluted.
Zhang Xiaoshan greeted the people on the side of the road with a smile, and suddenly a strange feeling appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt a threat in his consciousness.
He quickly rolled over and dismounted, taking out his lightning at the same time.
As soon as he turned over, two red lights flew from left to right, slashing his mount into three pieces, and the air was neutral with a strong smell of blood.
From the nearby woods, more than a dozen assassins in golden robes rushed out, all of them were Jindan stage cultivators, each of whom held magic weapons, and surrounded Zhang Xiaoshan and the three of them.
Zhang Xiaoshan was shocked into a cold sweat just now, he really didn't have any preparation, who would have thought that at the foot of Baishi Mountain, he would encounter assassination, this is simply ridiculous!
These people were wearing the clothes of the Sima family's Jin Longwei, obviously wanting to blame the Sima family for the assassination, but this was just to cover up, no matter how powerful the Sima family's Jin Longwei was, it would not appear here, otherwise the defense system that the Zhang family had spent thousands of years building would not become useless.
At the foot of Baishi Mountain, there were other guards of the Zhang family patrolling here, and when they saw the forest rushing out of the moment, these guards immediately rushed over with weapons.
These guards were just some low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining Period, how could they be the opponents of the Jindan Stage assassins, and they were all killed quickly.
The surrounding farmers and traders immediately ran away screaming, and a man raised his right hand, and dozens of people appeared from the forest again, killing all those who tried to escape.
The surroundings soon fell silent, and the wind swept the autumn leaves, making the sound of "salad salad" on the ground.
Zhang Xiaoshan sneered: "Do it, what are you waiting for!" He rushed to the moment in front of him with a lightning bolt, and at the same time, he quickly took out all the high-grade spirit talismans and threw them around. Now is the moment of life and death, and naturally there can be no reservations.
Tu Qianqian and Kui'er also guarded Zhang Xiaoshan's side with their newly acquired spirit weapons, and rushed forward together. The surrounding woods are still rushing out at this moment, and the number has reached more than a hundred, and of course these people who appeared later are not in the Jindan period, but they are also not badly cultivated, all of them are in the foundation building period, this kind of strength is only to assassinate Zhang Xiaoshan, it is enough to see that the mastermind behind it must kill Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan, with the help of the spirit rune, dealt with a little embarrassment, but finally his life was worry-free, those assassins in order not to reveal their identities, used some lowest-level spirit weapons, and there was no power, but the other party relied on the advantage of numbers, he was never able to escape, and he was besieged.
He had to break through the encirclement as soon as possible, so he took out the Xuanhuo Ding, summoned the remnants of the Sanyan Divine Fire in it, and then used the black oil splattered from the gold and silver gourd to ignite the surroundings, and the red and golden divine fire immediately forced back the surrounding monks.
"Xiaoshan, I'm here to help you!" Suddenly, Yang Dong Baili's voice came from the path, and he saw Yang Dong Baili, who was dressed in a white robe, holding an ice jade wheel, knocking down several assassins in a row, and rushed to Zhang Xiaoshan's side.
"Senior Bai Li, why are you here?" Zhang Xiaoshan wondered.
"I went to Beiding Mansion a few days ago to buy it, and I was only going to return to Camel Fort today, but I don't want to see you here!" Yang Dong Baili said as he released thousands of Vajra rats, these spirit beasts are usually sealed in spirit runes, and after they are released, they will naturally be fierce, and the surrounding assassins will be extremely embarrassed!
