Chapter 196: Stone Forest

After spending more than half an hour, a passage two or three feet wide appeared in front of several people.

And at the end of this passage is a cave gate built at the foot of a collapsed mountain.

As countless earth and stones were cleared out, streams of pure spiritual energy poured out from the broken gate, and several people hurriedly took out the special magic weapons prepared in advance, and took action to intercept these spiritual qi.

Although there is aura everywhere in the heavens and the earth, the vast majority of places are very bland, and only some caves and blessed lands can have a huge number of aura gathered.

But these places are all where the mountain gate of a certain sect is located, and there are very few places that have not been occupied.

And where the Nine Xuanmen is located, although it is also a rare cultivation guarantee, it has gathered a huge and pure aura, but it cannot be used by the disciples to absorb it wantonly, lest it hurt the foundation of this side of the leyline, causing the aura to wither in the end and become a wasteland.

Therefore, in order to cultivate the aura needed, even if you are from a famous immortal family, you need to rack your brains, and various means emerge in endlessly.

After all the overflowing aura was collected into a special magic weapon, Ji Yuan and the others stepped forward and walked towards the cave in front of them.

In addition to Zhao Yuansong, who has a lot of mana loss, and Wang Xiaoxuan, who is in charge of presiding over the formation, Lin Miaoyi and Zheng Wanrong are also left.

Only Li Junxian and the Tang brothers entered the cave mansion with Ji Yuan and others.

In this way, it can not only ensure that there is a way back, but also if others are in danger, they can also take a solution outside.

When the monk was out exploring the cave left by his predecessors, he didn't think that he would go on a rampage just by relying on his cultivation, and only a casual cultivator who didn't know anything, or a person with a stupid brain, would do such a stupid thing.

Monks who usually do this are usually already in the middle of their first exploration, and those who are lucky may be able to escape with their lives.

Before stepping into the gate of the cave, Ji Yuan and the others each took out a night pearl and poured it into it with their own mana, and the prohibition specially engraved on it would make it bloom into a stable light source.

And this kind of light can even adjust the direction and strength of the radiation with the mobilization of mana.

At the same time, each person took an elixir, which can dissolve a variety of toxins and miasma, and there is also a talisman on their body to ward off evil spirits.

After making such preparations, several people stepped into the cave with a solemn face.

As soon as I entered, I could feel that the aura remaining in the cave was much purer than that of the outside world, and there was no turbidity entanglement in the world.

If you exhale the aura of this place, you only need to refine it simply, and you can convert it into your own mana, and you don't need to be patient and painstaking to remove the turbidity.

"I'm afraid this is at least the cave of a monk of the Three Realms."

Shining with the night pearl in his hand, Wu Chengqing immediately whispered.

This cave house must have been hollowed out at the bottom of the mountain, and inside the gate was an extremely large space, far above the ordinary mansion.

At this time, the left and right sides of them should be the spiritual fields cultivated by the owner of the cave, but because of thousands of years of time, coupled with the collapse of the mountain at that time, a large number of rubble fell down, and now there is no longer half of the surviving elixir.

In that parched spiritual land, there were only a few withered branches and broken leaves.

After just a little look, the few people continued to walk towards the cave mansion, and did not spend too much energy here.

And after passing through the Lingtian character, another gate appeared in front of him, but this door was not broken, and there was a faint aura fluctuation left in the rough stone face, obviously there was still a prohibition remaining.

"Which of you is coming?"

Wu Chengqing turned his head and looked at the two companions beside him.

As for Li Junxian and the Tang brothers behind him, they were automatically skipped by him, after all, the monks of the First Realm had not yet cultivated their mana, and only violent means were left to break the ban.

"I'll do it."

Ji Yuan groaned slightly, and then took a few steps forward.

After three or two steps to the stone door, he looked intently for a moment, and then raised his left hand, with a touch on his fingertips

Brilliance flows.

He gently struck the remnant prohibition on the stone door with the brilliance containing the power of devouring the soul, and then saw that it turned around on it, and it was actually absorbing the aura on it.

In just seven or eight breaths, this brilliance grew by a few points, and after swallowing the remnants of the prohibition on the stone gate, it disappeared in a flash and disappeared into Ji Yuan's body.

Seeing this scene, Wu Chengqing and the others flashed their eyes, and they were quite envious of his ability.

Ji Yuan took two steps back slightly, and the Tang brothers immediately stepped forward and slowly pushed the stone door in front of him open.

"It's ......"

A few beams of night pearls shone away, and a hall appeared in front of several people.

It was supposed to be a place for reception, and in addition to the main seat in the center, there was a row of tables and chairs on each side, and the table top was also neatly arranged.

On the stone pillars supported by the surrounding areas, lifelike monsters are carved, or fangs and claws, or roaring in the sky, etc.

Several people looked across the hall and landed on the stone wall behind them, where there were three deep passages.

They walked slowly, their eyes swept across the hall, and they were slightly relieved that they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Standing in front of the three passages, a bundle of eyes fell on Ji Yuan's body, and unconsciously, he had become the center of several people.

"Come one by one."

He looked back and forth a few times, randomly chose the leftmost passage, and led the group inward.

When they pushed open the stone door at the end of the passage, a quiet room appeared in front of them, the floor was covered with rotten wood, and there were some dim jade slips in between.

More than an hour later, Ji Yuan and the others slowly left this cave mansion, and under the expectant gaze of Zhao Yuansong and others, they shook their heads helplessly.

This cave mansion was indeed left by a monk of the Three Realms, but after thousands of years, there is no longer any valuable thing left in it, except for the aura that was first absorbed, it can be regarded as nothing.

But fortunately, there is that pure aura, which can also make up for the loss of pills and talismans.

After collecting the arranged formation, Ji Yuan took out the treasure hunting mouse again and followed the new entry underground.

In the blink of an eye, most of the day passed, and several people found two caves again, one of which was left by the monks of the Three Realms, and the objects in it had already turned into dust.

On the contrary, there is another cave of the monks of the Second Realm, and there are a lot of good things left, under the protection of the residual prohibitions, although the spiritual flow in it is serious, it still has some value.

Everyone estimated that this Second Realm cultivator should have a complete inheritance, and the prohibitions he left behind were very mysterious, far from being able to be arranged by ordinary casual cultivators.

If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have gone through thousands of years of time, and it would still retain a trace of aura to protect the objects in it from destruction.

Of course, this is also related to the special environment of the underground dojo, otherwise a Second Realm cultivator, no matter how subtle and profound the inheritance of his body is, it is impossible to do this step.

Although the harvest from this trip is okay, and it is estimated that there can be hundreds of taels of silver, but everyone's mood is becoming more and more solemn.

This place is very different from their original expectations, it is not a peaceful fairyland, but it seems to have undergone countless devastation, and everything you can see is devastation.

"Could it be that this dojo was invaded by a great enemy thousands of years ago?"

In an open space, Wu Chengqing, who had finished breathing, groaned thoughtfully.

A few people beside him nodded, and they also had this doubt in their hearts.

But if it is said that this place has been invaded by a great enemy, but only the broken peaks and the devastation all over the ground are seen, but not half of the bones are missing.

Even though it is in the thousands of years, the bones of *** outside have long been weathered into slag, but there should still be some traces in the cave where the ban still exists.

"Have you noticed that no matter what has become of the outside, there is not the slightest trace of a fight in the three caves we explored?"

Zhao Yuansong frowned slightly, a little incomprehensible about this.

If there is really a great enemy invasion, it should not be like this, it is impossible for the enemy to call for battle outside the cave, and wait for everyone to retreat and fight for life and death.

"Maybe it's just a matter of our luck?"

Liu Donglai put forward his thoughts in a low voice.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that this is the only reason that can be explained.

Among the people, only Ji Yuan frowned secretly, and he, who knew the deep reason, naturally understood why such an abnormal scene appeared.

Thousands of years ago, under the blood sacrifice of the Red Heart Daoist, all the monks left their cave mansion and headed towards the core of the dojo, trying to kill the demonic Taoist and gain a chance of life for themselves.

In this way, it is naturally impossible to have any bones, which will remain in the cave, and of course, there is no trace of the fight.

After a short rest, the group set off again, but this time instead of releasing the Treasure Hunt Mouse, they took out another object.

In Wu Qingfeng's hand, he held a Qiankun Bagua Disk, and as the mana was infused into it, even a wisp of fresh wind flowed out and drifted away in all directions.

For a full moment, he opened his closed eyes, and then the "Listening to the Wind and Seeking the Spirit Plate" in his hand was filled with light.

A group of people immediately followed the direction of the light, and Wu Chengqing stopped many times in the middle of the way, and used the "Listening to the Wind to Find the Spirit Plate" to identify the direction, so as not to go over.

It wasn't until about half an hour that they stopped outside a petrified wood.

"What happened here and now?"

Looking at the stone forest standing in the darkness in front of her, Lin Miaoyi couldn't help but mutter.

In front of them, towering trees that had lost their vitality and were petrified by some unknown force, and there was even a faint black gas on them, which looked a little chilling.

Under the illumination of countless luminous plants, this stone forest looks like some kind of ancient giant beast, just looking at it makes people feel resistant, and they are reluctant to get even half a step closer.

"The spiritual objects discovered by listening to the wind and searching for the spirit plate are in this stone forest?"

Zhao Yuansong turned around and looked at Wu Chengqing beside him.

Hearing this, the latter also frowned, and injected a few mana into the gossip plate in his hand, and continued to pinch and deduce.

After a long while, Wu Chengqing nodded solemnly, and the spiritual object perceived by this thing did point to the stone forest.

"Let's talk about it, should we go in and find out, or do we want to go somewhere else?"

Ji Yuan groaned for a while, and then looked at the people beside him.

Generally in the face of this situation, it is necessary to deliberate, and if you insist on going your own way, it is very likely that you will plunge headlong into the Jedi.
