"Good! You warm up with activities first, let's try something else! Hou Jinfa and Hou Jinhai stepped forward as they spoke, and each took out a few things from the bags behind them, and Wei Yixian and other cultivators watched from the side, and they all felt a little novel.

I saw Hou Jinfa take out a bundle of short sticks about a foot long, pound it for a while, and soon assemble it one by one, and connect it into a pole more than two feet long, and there is a claw-like thing at one end of the pole.

Waiting for Hou Jinfa to poke the long pole into the river, he took a dozen steps back, held a handle behind the pole, and groped in the river with the other end. I don't know what mechanism is in the pole, under the control of Hou Jinfa, like a slender arm, extremely flexible in the water, every time I explore an area, I will reach out to the next area, as if not even a corner has fallen.

Hou Jinfa held his breath and concentrated, groped the entire river from beginning to end, and also probed the long pole far away into the hidden river channels at the two ends for a long time, but it seemed that he found nothing.

"The river is full of stones, and nothing unusual has been found." Hou Jinfa shook his head and said.

"I'll try!" Hou Jinhai had already taken out a metal cylinder more than two feet long from his bag, the front end was like a crescent-shaped shovel, a semicircular opening, the arc-shaped blade flickered with cold light, it seemed to be very sharp, the back end was slender and shrunk into a tube, and there were several thin rods inside, which seemed to be some kind of mechanism, and the thickness of the rear end was just similar to the thickness of the long rod in Hou Jinfa's hand.

Hou Jinhai grabbed the other end of Hou Jinfa's long rod, removed the claw-like end, replaced it with his own cylinder, and took out a long tube that looked very soft, and connected one of the ends to a hole in the handle of the long rod.

The other end of the long tube split into two branches, extending two hoses the size of little fingers, each with two round, perforated balls at the end.

I saw Hou Jinhai stuff the two round soft balls into his ears, took out a silk scarf and wrapped it around his head, firmly fixed the two soft balls in his ears, and then took up the long pipe and stabbed it all over the bottom of the river along the end of the river.

Under Hou Jinfa's signal and reminder, everyone did not dare to make a sound, and stood quietly aside, listening to the muffled sound of knocking from the bottom of the river, as if the front end of the long pole hit the stone every time.

Every time Hou Jinhai knocked, he would close his eyes and listen carefully, not daring to let go of the slightest abnormality.

However, until I knocked on the two-zhang long river, I didn't find anything abnormal underneath.

"No anomalies found." Hou Jinhai shook his head and took off the silk scarf on his head and the stuff in his ears.

"I'd better do it!" Hou Jinbo's voice came from afar, "When it's time to go into the water, no matter how cold the water is, you can't hide it." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look back, but saw that Hou Jinbo, who had already hid in the distance, had already put on a tight water back at this time, and was walking over with a long rope in his arms.

Hou Jinbo tied one end of the long rope to a stone, tied it strongly, and then tied the other end of the rope to his waist. He took out a pot of spirits, poured a few sips with his head up, and then handed the whole rope to the hands of the two brothers, and after taking a few deep breaths, he held a night pearl in one hand and jumped into the water with a thud.

Hou Jinhai and Hou Jinfa clutched the rope tightly, and as Hou Jinbo went deeper, they let go a little bit, and it didn't take long for the two points of light under the water to gradually disappear, leaving only the rope that was still being brought into the water by Hou Jinbo.

In the blink of an eye, Hou Jinbo had been in the water for almost half a stick of incense, and almost all the ropes had been taken down by him, but Hou Jinbo had not yet returned.

Just when everyone was already worried about Hou Jinbo, two points of light suddenly appeared at one end of the river, and then, the water splashed, and Hou Jinbo poked his head out of the water with a bang, gasping for breath.

"How?" Wei Yixian hurriedly took two steps forward and asked expectantly.

"There is nothing downstream, the walls of the underground river are rocky, and I have swam to the point where I run out of breath and dare not go any further. Wait until I'm slowly looking upstream! Hou Jinbo climbed ashore, shivering from the cold, and hurriedly picked up the wine jug and drank a few sips, while Hou Jinhai took out a blanket and wrapped Hou Jinbo.

After half an hour, Hou Jinbo regained his strength, moved his hands and feet, and jumped into the water again.

It's just that this time, in less than half a burnt of incense, Hou Jinbo returned to the shore.

"The water upstream is too fast! The thinnest part of the dark river is less than two feet, and you can't swim it! Hou Jinbo wrapped himself in a blanket and gasped.

"In this case, we still have to find a way in this cave." Wei Yixian said in a deep voice, "Everyone, is there any other way to explore the secrets?" You can't hide it anymore! ”

"Hu Baye, I'll try it!" Hu Baye rolled up his sleeves, took out a compass from his arms, and took out a few candles from his bag, lit them and placed them in several corners of the cave. Then, holding the compass in one hand and calculating in the other, he kept moving around with words in his mouth, and from time to time he placed a few stones on the ground as a mark.

Seeing this, Qu Wuming didn't know what Hu Baye was calculating, so he couldn't help but quietly look at Wei Yixian, but saw that Wei Yixian's face also seemed to be at a loss.

The three brothers of Chen Yulou on the side looked at Hu Baye's operation, glanced at each other, and shook their heads secretly.

After a while, Hu Baye took the compass into his arms, walked in front of everyone, took a deep breath, and was silent for a moment.

"What? What did you find? Han Ling'er asked curiously.

Hu Baye raised his hand and scratched his head, then spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't calculate anything...... However, I'm pretty pretty sure that this vault really has nothing to do with the tomb......"

Wei Yixian originally saw that Hu Baye's operation was good, and was expecting him to announce some good news, but when he heard the words, the muscles on his face twitched with anger, and he couldn't wait to go up and give Hu Baye a few slaps.

At this time, Chen Yulou spoke: "Next, let's let the three of us try it!" ”

As he spoke, Chen Yulou and the three of them took out some special yellow paper and bottles and cans from their respective bags, and there were dozens of them.

Chen Baolou found a relatively spacious and flat place, shook off a thin blanket and spread it on the ground, and then placed the bottles and cans neatly on both sides of the blanket. Then, he took a piece of yellow rune paper the size of a ruler and put it in the middle, pressed it with four pieces of paperweight, and stepped aside.

After Chen Baolou finished arranging, he saw Chen Yulou open a wooden box that was about a foot long and took out a dark red brush from it. Holding a bowl of water in one hand, and a pen in the other, he dipped the colorful things in the bottles and jars, and wrote and drew on the runic paper in the middle. Each time you change the material, you will first wash the brush in clean water. When the water in the bowl became turbid, Chen Baolou would quickly replace him with a bowl of clean water.

Not only Wei Yixian, Qu Wuming and others didn't know what Chen Yulou was painting, but even the three brothers of Hu Baye and the Hou family had never seen it, standing on the side and watching it, but they looked confused.

Chen Baolou seemed to see everyone's confusion, and explained to everyone with a slight smile: "What my eldest brother is drawing is an ancient talisman. If you investigate the root cause, it can be traced back to the ancient Great Wei period!

According to legend, the King of Wei of the Great Wei State in ancient times used troops and fought in all directions, and later in order to supplement military expenses, he formed a special army, and set up military ranks such as General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Touching Jin.

"Everyone knows that the immortal path in ancient times was far better than it is now, and at that time, the forbidden law was not broken, and some cultivators had a forbidden law array inside and outside the tombs, and once the people who tried to rob the tomb entered the scope of the forbidden law array, they could not use all their mana - just like the situation of Qu Ye and you in this extra-legal place now.

"With those forbidden arrays there, not only will it be difficult for people to even find out where the tombs are, but they will also restrict the use of cultivators after entering the tombs—the defensive prohibitions in those tombs can not be restricted by the forbidden arrays, and their defensive effects can be maximized—so in the beginning, when those Faqiu Zhonglang Generals, Captain Touching Jin, etc., often suffered heavy casualties when they stole the tombs of cultivators.

"In order to solve this problem, some powerful people later referred to the more ancient witchcraft and finally researched some ancient talismans, which can be used on similar occasions without the restrictions of the forbidden law array."

Chen Baolou pointed to the bottles and cans on the ground and said, "These things used in ancient witchcraft are often very strange. Do you know what's in those bottles and jars? Hehe, there are toad blood, antelope horns, golden scorpion venom, schisandra powder, honey, ghost grass, black dog blood, red turtle eggs, dragon bone powder, mythril juice, dragon scale grass juice, sunflower water, peacock gall, etc., many of which have nothing to do with the method of cultivation, and most of them do not contain any spiritual power.

"But after drawing a talisman according to the ancient method, it will become a talisman that ordinary people like us can use. However, this kind of talisman can only be used as soon as possible after it is painted, unlike the talismans in the hands of you cultivators today, which can be stored for a long time after drawing and activated when you use it. ”

"It's so amazing!" Ding Xianyan sighed when he heard this, "Thank you brother for solving your doubts, I really have never heard of such methods." ”

"The wisdom of the ancients does not belong to the present people!" Mo Heng also praised on the side.

Qu Wuming also nodded when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, the Tao is endless, if you don't see it today, who would have known that these ordinary things can also become materials for drawing talismans?" I really don't know how many unknown things in this world are waiting for us to explore. Or, if you exhaust your life, you may not be able to get a glimpse of one or two avenues! ”

Everyone sighed while watching, but Chen Yulou's painting gradually reached a critical moment......
