Once the eight feet are pecked to death, all that remains is to find the treasure in the ruins.

After directing Lu Pingchuan to punch and smash several boulders that blocked the way, the five of them finally discovered an entrance hidden in the mountain wall, and the formation to open the ruins was hidden in a cave.

This is the first time that the five people of Qian Chao have seen each other, and when Qian Chao was thinking about how to crack the formation, Lu Pingchuan also jokingly said:

"Won't it all be dead again when you open it this time?"

provoked Tang Ping to glare at him in disgust.

The opening of this formation took a long time, and Qian Chao even moved his book case out again, took a pen and paper to write and draw on the case and made some deductions, and tried several times in the middle, but failed to succeed, until the last time, the whole cave shook slightly, and then a hole appeared in the cave wall not far away.

"Hey, hey!" Lu Pingchuan shouted excitedly and rushed in.

Qian Chao raised his eyes and looked outside the cave, this day is to rush and deal with the eight-foot peck, if it is late today, it is better to spend the night here, and leave after dawn.

"Brother Qian, come and see, there are a lot of things!" Lu Pingchuan's shout also came from the secret room.

Sure enough, it was a large stone room, with a lot of shelves on both sides, and all kinds of storage bags on it.

"It's getting late, I think we might as well spend the night here, how about it?" Qian Chao asked.

"Okay."

When Qian Chao arranged the formation in the cave and then returned, he saw that the other four people were gathering together, and all the storage bags were piled up, and Tang Ping was opening them one by one and looking at them.

"Qian boy, the family that used to be here before is probably a family that is good at refining, ah, these bags are filled with some refining materials."

Yan Xuan heard Tang Ping say this, and pushed a few storage bags piled together in front of Qian Chao.

Qian Chao opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, he found that there were some smelted various ingots inside, and most of them were high-level, and there were some in it that he didn't know, so he couldn't help frowning, and after looking at it for a while, he said:

"It should be like this, many of the materials in this are no longer used for refining spiritual weapons, most of them are those refining magic weapons, and they may even be used for refining magic weapons, these things are very precious."

"Hehe," Lu Pingchuan patted the bags he had selected, "It's all full of spirit stones!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ping handed Qian Chao another bag.

"It's full of refined things, you take it."

Sure enough, as she said, the bag was full of refining things, but Qian Chao took a breath of cool air when he saw it, most of the things in it were magic weapons, and there were a few magic weapons that could only be used by the predecessors of the Jiedan, looking at this amount, the family here in the past should indeed be heirloom with alchemy.

These things are not useful to Qian Chao now, but you can take a look at them when you have nothing to do, and you may be able to use them after the foundation is built in the future.

Then Tang Ping threw over a few more bags.

"It's all books, you take them and read them."

"Brother Lu, this is a spirit stone."

"Hey, hey."

"Sister Yan, there are some pills in this, I don't know what the effect is."

"Oh?" Yan Xuan listened and took it.

After roughly dividing it, most of the bags were obtained by the tide of money, and then the five people put together the spirit stones and then divided them equally, each person got a small bag, if they were all poured out, according to the number of spirit stones in the bag, it was also a lot of piles, which ordinary disciples in the sect could not earn for decades in the worship academy, and it could be regarded as compensating for the fright of the five people who dealt with the eight-foot pecking today.

Lu Pingchuan behaved most like a greedy ghost, grabbed a handful of spirit stones from the bag, and fiddled with them in his hands.

Li Jian looked at the spirit stone in the bag and sighed:

"No wonder, the disciples in the sect found the ruins and tried their best to open them, and it was really beneficial."

"Of course," Lu Pingchuan said, "Eh, since that mid-level big bird can also deal with it today, does that mean that we can also open such ruins in the future?" ”

"Brother Lu, isn't today scary enough? In the future, we still have to do what we can. ”

"Oh."

……

The mountains and forests outside were already covered in night, and in the stone room where Qian Chao and the five people were hiding, the excitement of getting good things gradually faded, and the words were almost finished, so they closed their eyes and meditated.

Qian Chao sat in front of the case and checked the books he got here one by one.

This ruin, the family that used to live here, must have been famous for the alchemy heirloom and even the cultivation world at that time, more than half of the books obtained by Qian Chao are recorded in the refining of spiritual weapons, magic weapons and magic weapons, those books about magic weapons and magic weapons Qian Chao put away, and now he can't use it, only those books that record the refining of spiritual weapons are what he is interested in now, after reading it, by his own understanding of alchemy, He found that in the past, whether it was the method of refining or the use of spiritual weapons, there was a big gap between it and the present, to put it simply, Qian Chaofa did not know how long ago, and the alchemy skills mastered by the monks at that time seemed to be more sophisticated than now, although some basic rules could not be changed, taking spiritual weapons as an example, the lowest-level green copper spiritual weapon, because of the limitation of green copper, the monk could only engrave six runes on it, which was the same in the past and now, But those monks in the past have more runes in their hands, and they use more methods, so they use more when refining, they can use two or even more green bronze spirit weapons together through the runes left on the spirit weapon, which is different from Qian Chao's ability to use more than 100 spirit swords at the same time, although Qian Chao can use many spirit swords at the same time, but each one is still the power of ordinary spirit swords, and Qian Chao uses this method to defeat the opponent with this number of advantages, However, according to the techniques of these refiners in the past, after two or three green bronze spirit swords were skillfully refined, and then used at the same time, it was almost equivalent to a spirit sword engraved with more than a dozen runes at the same time, and the power was naturally much greater than that of three ordinary spirit swords!

It's almost like a sword formation!

This discovery made Qian Chao's eyes open up all of a sudden, imagine that he used a hundred spirit swords at the same time, and all the runes added up were only more than six hundred, but if the power of these more than six hundred runes could be stacked at the same time...... That is almost the power of the magic weapons used by the foundation building monks, and these spirit swords can be combined and divided, and they are extremely flexible, this method ......

Also, Qian Chao was destroyed two big shields today, although he still has a spare, but it is also a headache to be destroyed like this, if you follow the methods of those monks in the past, the protective effect of the two big shields stacked together can far exceed the protective effect of the simple two-layer shields now......

And also...... Armor, Brother Lu's armor has been damaged a lot in a few days, if the armor is also transformed according to the records in this book, what kind of protection can it play......

The process of opening the ruins this time had a far-reaching impact on the previous dynasty, one of which was that he initially mastered the means of arranging the formation against the enemy according to the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, and this method was constantly being perfected in his hands in the future; Second, according to the records of the books in this ruin, Qian Chao initially comprehended the mystery of the sword array, and in the days to come, he relied on this method to kill strong enemies many times and turn the situation around!

Tang Ping noticed the moment of smiling and contemplation on Qian Chao's face, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What did you see, so happy?"

"Of course, it's a big deal."

Later, among the books that Qian Chao looked through, there were still detailed descriptions of how to refine Horcruxes, which made Qian Chao look at it in amazement, could it be that Horcruxes were very popular in the cultivation world a long time ago?

It wasn't until Qian Chao saw the end that he was even more surprised.

The last thing he saw was not a book, there was basically not a word on it, and it was not made of paper, but a piece of brocade silk that was carefully placed in a box, and when he took it out, he found that this brocade silk had no head or tail, and there were burn marks at both ends, which was estimated to be the remnant of a scroll.

I don't know how many years have passed, this brocade has long faded to light brown, and the brush and ink on it are also sparse, and the color has faded, but you can always see the content of the painting.

The first one is a little mutilated, and it can be seen that there are many people worshipping a strange-looking spirit beast under the leadership of a leader who seems to be the leader, and the strange spirit beast is on the top, and it seems that it is still very affectionate to those who worship below.

Qian Chao has never seen such a style of painting and brushwork, the characters on the brocade silk are not realistic, but the painting is a little exaggerated, the size of the characters in the painting is different, read throughout, the leader looks like the person is the largest one, the rest are much younger regardless of age, so Qian Chao guessed that the largest painting is a noble person, the rest of the people, a few strokes, but the emphasis highlights the eyes of the characters, although the brushwork is a little rough, but the expressions of each character through the eyes are completely expressed, It's quite expressive.

The money tide shown in the first few paintings can be understood, it is nothing more than the strange spirit beast living in harmony with these people, those people provide for the spirit beast, and then the spirit beast can exert its power to expel disasters and dangers for them, every time I help those people, you can see that the characters painted on the brocade silk seem to be dancing around the spirit beast, happily.

The latter paintings depict a difficult fight, and you can see that the original characters clashed with some other characters, and then there was an even more strange and powerful spirit beast behind the other person's figures.

Later, the people in the previous painting seem to have lost the battle, chased by the opponents and the more strange and powerful spirit beast, and the fear conveyed by the eyes of the characters in the painting shows how embarrassed and desperate they are, especially the spirit beast they worshiped before, it seems that they were also injured and fled with them.

Undoubtedly, this must have been defeated.

Then there was a burning mark on the brocade, and I couldn't see anything at all, but there were a few pictures that could be seen clearly backwards.

The leader at the beginning of the painting seems to be leading his own people back to the kill, holding a deliberately exaggerated sword.

In the next battle scene, the leader is fighting, and there is a phantom behind him, and that phantom is the spirit beast they worshiped before, but from the brushwork, it can be seen at a glance that it should not be the spirit beast itself, as if the painter wanted to express that the spirit beast was helping the leader in other ways.

In the end, it was the leader who defeated the opponent with this sword, and the people who had defeated them before and the even more strange spirit beast seemed to have been killed and fell to the ground, the leader held his sword high to accept everyone's worship, and behind the leader, the spirit beast phantom was also drawn.

Seeing this, Qian Chao faintly guessed the meaning of the painting on the brocade, and said to Tang Ping:

"Here, look at this."

Tang Ping leaned over, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and asked:

"It's ......"

"This thing, what records is probably the origin of the Horcrux."

As soon as Qian Chao said this, several other people were also interested, and they all came over to look at the painting on the brocade.

"I don't know how long this thing has been, look at this, the first few paintings seem to say that these people or this family worship this strange spirit beast, well, this law is a little weird, can you recognize what kind of spirit beast this is?"

Qian Chao turned his face and asked Tang Ping, but she couldn't recognize the spirit beast on the painting, frowning and shaking her head.

"Well, look at the next few paintings, it seems that this family has a conflict with someone else or a family, and those people on the other side also have a spirit beast, which seems to be more powerful than their one, so they failed, oh, the meaning of this painting is obvious, that is, they were driven away."

"It's a pity that the painting that followed is unrecognizable, this thing was burned by fire, it's a pity, but the meaning behind it is obvious, ah, these people have been killed again, but the spirit beast they worshiped before has been painted like this, look, the sword held by this leader-like figure, if I guess correctly, this sword should be the original Horcrux."

The so-called Horcrux, five people have seen it, just when Yun Xi was angry with Bai Lin and chased and killed Shang Jie, the spirit sword that Shang Jie used to deal with Yun Xi at the end was a Horcrux, and after using it, a tiger would be summoned, and this tiger could not be killed, unless the sword in Shang Jie's hand could be destroyed, of course, the Horcrux held by Shang Jie was finally destroyed by Yun Xi, and he was also injured, but that was Yun Xi's means far beyond Shang Jie, if Shang Jie used this sword to deal with ordinary monks, it must be invincible.

"That seems to be the real thing, the piece that was burned in the middle...... Isn't it supposed to be how to make a Horcrux in the first place? Tang Ping asked.

"It's not that simple," Qian Chao said, "Look at the burned piece, it's not big, and the production of horcruxes is also very troublesome, it's impossible to draw it in a few paintings, I think this missing part is probably to explain how the spirit beasts worshiped by these people died......"

"What do you mean?"

"Look at the back, if the Horcrux in this leader's hand is a Horcrux, then it must mean that the spirit beast they originally worshiped is dead, but how it died, I don't know, what it is, ......"

"I see, you mean to say that the missing part is to explain exactly how this spirit beast died, whether it was the spirit beast that was seriously injured and died before it was voluntarily removed from its soul to make a Horcrux, or whether the original person who worshipped it killed it in order to defeat the opponent and then made it into a Horcrux, right?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant."

"Well," Tang Ping nodded, looked at it carefully, and then said, "If you look at me, it seems that this spirit beast took the initiative, not suffered a betrayal, you see, in the last part of the painting, the spirit beast was painted as a phantom, but there seems to be no resentment, you look at this painting style, people's thoughts can be seen through the exaggerated eyes of the painting, look, especially the last painting, the phantom of the spirit beast obviously has a feeling of getting what you want." ”

A few people took a closer look, and sure enough, it was just as Tang Ping said.

"In that case, it should be this spirit beast who took the initiative to sacrifice himself for this family." Yan Xuan said.

Tang Ping nodded, thought for a while and then said:

"It should be like this, but I don't know how long ago the things on the painting were, I think these paintings are much older than this ruin, the above kind of family worship of a spirit beast has long been gone, I heard that in ancient times there was no sect, and there was no sect, the monks were all in the family situation, at that time there were few monks, but the spirit beasts were all over the world, including some real spirit beast level, the classics recorded that some families at that time offered some real spirit beasts to protect themselves, I think the two spirit beasts in the painting should be spirit beasts of that level, and the horcruxes made from the soul of that level of spirit beasts are naturally incomparable, so in the end they defeated their opponents. ”

Qian Chao said: "It's probably the same as what Tang Yatou said, but later it was the Horcruxes, oh, these books ......."

Qian Chao patted a stack of books on the bookcase.

"These books record a lot of methods for making horcruxes, very detailed and complete, the family here must be a big family of refining weapons, the various horcrux production methods in it are the first time to see, in my opinion, many methods are a little too cruel, but more cruel is still to come, now it is impossible for anyone to make horcruxes with the soul of a true spirit animal, it is estimated that in the past this is also a difficult thing to do, this method is flexible, with the soul of some demon beasts that can be found, the natural power is much worse, With the passage of time, there must be people who are not satisfied, so they ......"

"So someone started refining with the soul of a monk, right?" Tang Ping said.

"Yes, Horcruxes, evil weapons, in fact, the truth is figured out, it should be that there was an evil weapon later, and then the people who used it found that the power was much stronger than the Horcrux, but after using it, there was a lot of damage to themselves, and then, well, they developed some evil arts, but I didn't expect that those evil cultivators now, hum, and that Dussa, can be traced back to these paintings. Tang girl, this painting is useless to me, but if you don't know the spirit beast painted on it, you can take it back and ask Gu Huo's seniors. I'm not interested in Horcruxes, but I'd keep these books, and even if I don't use them, I need to know them so I can see the weaknesses of those things. ”

Tang Ping nodded, and put the brocade back in the box and put it away.

"Where are we going tomorrow?"

"It's not too far from Ruixuan Town, I'm worried about the owner of the Yiming Pavilion here, why don't we go to Ruixuan Town once, I want to see if the owner is back."

"Okay."
