There are a lot of spirit stones...... That's a lot of stuff indeed!

It's really a real pile, the spirit stones scattered on the ground are kept being collected together by Yan Xuan and Li Jian and piled on the ground, Tang Ping is there to pick and choose those that are not ordinary spirit stones, and Lu Pingchuan is responsible for constantly flying around digging the glowing spirit stone ore from the cave wall and sending it to Tang Ping.

And Qian Chao went to set up the formation, there are too many spirit stones found here, if someone comes down to see it, it will inevitably cause a scramble, after all, such a big hole above is placed there, and the spirit stone here, the five people don't want to share it with others, so Qian Chao arranged a few formations according to the hole down, in case someone inadvertently broke in.

When the formation was arranged, Qian Chao was also startled when he came back, the spirit stones had been piled up so high, much taller than Lu Pingchuan's height, under the light of his glowing rune paper, the bright ones were piled up there, Li Jian was still in the cave to pick up the scattered spirit stones, and Lu Pingchuan flew down with a large piece of spirit stone mine, and said:

"Come on, Sister Yan, it's your turn this time......"

I saw Yan Xuan smiling and stretching out his hand to pat the spirit stone mine, and suddenly there was a "bang", and the spirit stone mine was shattered into countless spirit stones scattered on the large pile of spirit stones.

Qian Chao looked up and found that only half of the fluorescent spirit stone mines on the cave wall were left.

"Brother Qian, the spirit stone mine on this surface is almost gone, is there still it inside?" Lu Pingchuan asked.

"This ...... I don't know, I'll look for it. Qian Chao flew up as he spoke, and his body was close to the cave wall and carefully investigated.

In the end, after changing many places, Qian Chao returned disappointed, and still held a few good jade stones in his hand to show everyone.

"It seems that there is no, if there is no blind worm nesting here, there will be more spirit stone mines, but the blind worm has hollowed out this place, and the spirit stone mine will only have so many on the cave wall, oh, if you dig it inside, there will only be such jade, and it seems that there are only these spirit stones."

"So much, quite a lot." Yan Xuan said with a smile.

"It's indeed a lot," Tang Ping also said, "It is estimated that an ordinary small family will not be able to come up with so many spirit stones, not to mention these ......."

Tang Ping pointed to the piles around her, and at a glance she could recognize those medium-grade, high-grade, or even middle-grade spirit stones that she had found in them.

"These medium-grade and high-grade spirit stones, we can't use them yet, but these ordinary ......" Tang Ping pointed to the large pile of spirit stones, "Let's divide it, how about it?" ”

"Hmm," Qian Chao nodded in agreement.

Li Jian took a turn in the cave, put away all the scattered spirit stones, came back and threw them on this large pile, listened to the words of several people, looked up at such a large pile of spirit stones, and sighed:

"Alas, how many disciples have come out to work hard to do a few dispatches, just to be able to receive a few spirit stones from the worship house, and how many people do not learn well outside, and do evil, just to grab a few spirit stones from others, but there is such a big pile in front of them...... If those people saw it, wouldn't they break their heads? ”

Lu Pingchuan was flying down from above, listened to Li Jian's words, and said with a smile:

"Now whoever wants to grab it, I'll be the first to break their heads, hehe, come on, these are the last two pieces, that's all!"

"Good things, it can be said that there are everywhere in the world, it depends on whether you can find them, well, there are so many spirit stones, and the money boy is a great contribution!"

"Well, thanks to Brother Qian."

After a while, Tang Ping finished the inspection, and then pointed to a few small piles of spirit stones beside him and said:

"Oh, this pile is medium-grade, this pile is top-grade, this pile is the most precious, it is a middle-grade spirit stone, but unfortunately, no high-grade spirit stones were found, that is something that the predecessors of Lian Dan are coveted! We don't need these now, and it's not good to let others know that we have such a thing, or just leave it out for the time being, and then use it when we encounter a bottleneck that is difficult to break through? ”

Several people nodded, and there was no objection to this.

"This is a big pile," Tang Ping pointed to the pile of spiritual stones in front of him, which was much higher than Lu Pingchuan, "divide it!" ”

"Hey, hey! Share the spoils! Lu Pingchuan shouted happily!

After a while, the large pile of spirit stones was divided into five parts and put into the storage bags of the five people.

"Alas," Yan Xuan sighed happily, holding his storage bag and said contentedly, "I don't have to worry about spirit stones in the future." ”

"Where is this, Sister Yan, we will have more spirit stones in the future, I have thought about it, we will build the foundation in the future, when we build the cave house by ourselves, I will make a special room, there is no bed in it, pour out all my spirit stones, I will lie on it and sleep, haha!"

Lu Pingchuan's words caused everyone to laugh and shake their heads.

"Well, since there's nothing here, it's time to go over there and take a look." Qian Chao said.

"Yes, yes, there's still a ruin over there that hasn't been opened."

……

Walking along the passage through which light was shining through, the five of them realized that at the end of the passage was a small underground stone hall.

This stone hall is also quite large-scale, although it is much smaller than the place where the blind worm dwells just now, but it is square, under the feet, on all sides, and on the top of the head are polished flat and abnormal stone walls, at a glance, it is deliberately excavated and repaired, and the reason why there is light here is because the top wall of the stone hall about five zhang high above everyone's heads is inlaid with countless round stones that shine one by one.

These glowing cobblestones are densely packed, some large and some small, and in some places there are many densely packed together or just a few in a large area, without any rules to follow, making people look at it and lose their minds.

There was no exit or entrance to this stone hall except the one they had entered, and by the glow of the glittering cobblestone at the top of the cave, it was not dark in all directions, and it was very visible to the public.

After a few people came in, they didn't dare to move around, worried that there might be any danger here, so Qian Chao opened the way, he looked around with the blue light in his eyes, and looked at his feet from time to time, walking forward little by little, and finally the blue light in Qian Chao's eyes disappeared, and said:

"There's nothing dangerous here."

"What's this good stuff?" Lu Pingchuan was greedy, hung up and approached the top of the stone room to look.

"It's just an ordinary gem," Tang Ping also flew up and took a closer look, and the rest of the people did the same, "In the world, each one can probably be worth a lot of silver, but ......"

Indeed, ordinary gems were nothing in the eyes of the monks.

"Alas, what a pity...... Huh! Brother Qian, that's the formation, right? ”

After Lu Pingchuan fell, he pointed to a place in the center of the stone hall and said, not only he could see it, but the rest of the people also saw that it was indeed different, there was a round platform on the ground about a foot high, and there were some rune-like things carved on the side of the round platform.

Since there was no danger, the men all leaned over to look at the round platform.

This platform is not big, and it is more than enough for one person to stand up, but it is a little crowded for two people to stand up. The material of the platform is a stone that Qian Chao has never seen, crystal clear and hard, half of the runes on it are unrecognized by Qian Chao, and even the platform is engraved with circles of runes.

Tang Ping looked around, and looked down at the round platform on the ground, and intuitively, she felt that this thing that looked like a formation seemed to be different from the formation of the ruins opened by Qian Boy before.

"Boy Qian, this formation is not the same as the ones you opened the ruins before?"

"It's different, it's much more complicated...... Well, I don't think this formation opened the ruins, and this must not be a relic as recorded in Senior Sister Luo Ying's book......"

Qian Chao said slowly, Luo Ying has never come down at all, so it is normal for the record to be biased.

"Oh? It's not a relic, so what is this formation for? ”

"I don't know...... But...... It has something to do with these shiny stones on top of your head. Qian Chao said and looked up again.

When several people heard Qian Chao say this, they all looked up.

"And what the hell is this?"

Lu Pingchuan looked at it for a while and felt bored, so he asked again, but this time, Tang Ping pulled his sleeve, and then found that several companions were looking at Qian Chao curiously, and saw Qian Chao walking around the stone hall with his head up, looking extremely focused.

"What's wrong with Brother Qian?"

"I don't know," Tang Ping said, "I just started, and I followed the devil like ......."

"It should be...... Do you see what's weird? Yan Xuan said.

In the past, Qian Chao also had such a situation, but whenever he saw some magic and was extremely interested, he would be like this, engrossed, completely caught in his own thoughts, and turned a deaf ear to everything around him, at this time several companions also knew that they could not disturb him, and let him toss alone.

I saw that Qian Chao began to walk around with his head tilted in the stone hall, and even sometimes simply lay on the ground, staring at the shiny stones above his head with his face up, Lu Pingchuan felt funny at the beginning when he saw it, and he also learned to lie down like Qian Chao, but he didn't understand what the bright spots above his head were at all, and he couldn't help but yawn after staring at them for a while.

Several people knew that this time was estimated to be short, so they all sat down, Yan Xuan raised his head and looked at it again, and couldn't help asking:

"What could it be on top of this?"

Tang Ping shook her head, she had heard and seen a lot of strange things, but with such a bright spot above her head, at first she only thought that it was simply for lighting, but the performance of Qian Chao made her feel that there was something strange in it.

"What do you think this looks like on your head?" Li Jian said suddenly.

"Oh? Brother Li, what do you think it looks like? ”

"Well, I think ...... There are so many of them on the top that at first glance they look like stars in the sky at night......"

Li Jian was originally a casual sentence, but it suddenly exploded in Qian Chao's mind......

Stars in the sky at night......

Star......

Chart!

Then a few companions were surprised to see Qian Chao suddenly turn up from the ground, take his storage bag and began to rummage, he took out a few things from it, and then walked back and forth in the stone hall with his head tilted.

"Hmm...... Here we go again! Tang Ping said helplessly, now I can only wait, and when Qian Chao understands, I will naturally come to tell everyone to understand.

Lu Pingchuan put a big arm behind his head and said:

"Wake me up when Brother Qian opens this formation in a while......"

Tang Ping stopped doing it, pushed Lu Pingchuan a few times, and said:

"Don't sleep, Brother Lu, you're snoring so loudly when you're asleep!"

Yan Xuan laughed all of a sudden, and Li Jian shook his head.

Lu Pingchuan couldn't sleep, so he could only do it and speak, he suddenly thought that when Tang Ping summoned that Qingluan, he actually had to bow down very respectfully, so he asked:

"Sister Tang, when you got that big bird here, why did that spell look so weird and kowtow?"

"yes, I'm curious, too?" Yan Xuan was also interested.

"Well, that spell is actually a ritual to summon spirits, it is really handed down from the past long ago, it is said that a long time ago, the world was still the world of all kinds of monsters and monsters, people accounted for only a few, among all kinds of spirit beasts, there were many extremely powerful spirit beasts at the level of true spirits, it seemed that the cultivation family at that time often offered a powerful one, whenever a sacrifice was prepared, they would use this method to summon the true spirit they worshipped, that is, the method I used, and then the true spirit came at their call, Enjoy the sacrifice, and in the future, when the family is in danger, you can also summon it again to avert the disaster for yourself. ”

"That is to say, the blind worm at that time can be regarded as the sacrifice of Miss Tang to the Qingluan, right?" Li Jian asked.

"That's right, that Qingluan should be a true spirit-level spirit bird, if it is summoned for no reason, and the true spirit is angry, it is a terrible thing, and fortunately, the blind worm can be seen by Qingluan, otherwise I wouldn't dare to use that method."

"Eh, isn't it possible to find that big bug-like monster in the future and let that big bird help?" Lu Pingchuan asked.

"Well, it's almost, but there are restrictions, first, so that Qingluan can see it, and second, it can't be too far away."

In this way, the four of them watched Qian Chao's actions while talking.

I don't know how long it took, during this time, Qian Chao also approached the round platform, sat there for a while, one finger was still sketching on the runes on it, and after a while, he staggered up and looked up at the top of his head, at this time Tang Ping noticed that Qian Chao was holding a few things in his hand, which were actually those wooden chips full of stars that he had found before.

After a while, Lu Pingchuan was pushed up by Tang Ping as soon as he snored, muttering that a few people were sitting there talking.

"There must be a big secret here, otherwise Brother Qian wouldn't be like this, it seems that time has passed a lot, right?" Yan Xuan said.

"Not bad!" Qian Chao came over at some point and sat down all of a sudden, with an excited look on his face, "There is indeed a big secret here!" ”

"You see?" When Tang Ping saw Qian Chao's expression, he knew that he should have some clues.

"Are there any treasures here?" Lu Pingchuan cares about this.

"Uh...... Baby, there is no here," Qian Chao said, Lu Pingchuan was suddenly a little disappointed, "But this secret is not small!" ”

"Oh, what's that secret?"

"Well, if you want to tell this secret, I have to thank Brother Li, if it weren't for Brother Li's words, I wouldn't be able to guess what secret is hidden here."

"Oh?" Li Jian was very puzzled, "My words, which one?" ”

"Brother Li said that the bright spot above my head looks like a star in the sky at night, and it is this sentence that inspires me." Qian Chao said.

"That'...... Could it be that these highlights above your head are really stars? Tang Ping looked up and asked.

"Exactly, but these above the head are very general, and the ...... on it" Qian Chao raised his head and pointed upwards with his hand, drawing a big circle, "It is our star map of the entire Central Continent!" ”

"What ......"

"Star Atlas ......"

"What is the star map for?"

"Come!" Qian Chao got up, "Come here, ......"

"Look!"

Qian Chao pointed to the top of his head, and then took out an object, which was a square piece of wood, dotted with dots on it, which was found before, and there had been many speculations about this thing before, and even Tang Ping jokingly said that it was a chess game.

"Look at it again," Qian Chao pointed to the dots of different sizes on the wooden chips and said, "Don't pay attention to the small dots on this, just look at the big ones on this, do they match the ones on top of our heads?" ”

A few people looked up at the top of their heads for a while, and then looked down at the wood chips in Qian Chao's hand, and sure enough, if the small dots on the square wood chips were ignored, the remaining big ones really corresponded to the ones on the top of their heads, and the positions, the proportions of distance and proximity, and the directions of each other were the same.

"But ......" Tang Ping still had doubts.

"Look here again!"

Qian Chao ignored it, took everyone to another place, pointed to the top of his head and took out another piece of wood, and sure enough, the bright spots on it could also correspond to the dots on the chips.

"It's a pity, there are still two pieces, I can't find the corresponding position," Qian Chao took out the last two pieces and looked at them, "I doubt the star map drawn on it now...... It's not from our Middle Earth, it's somewhere else......"

"Money boy!" Tang Ping finally couldn't help it, "How do you know that the star map on the top of your head is the star map, even if it can correspond to the wood chip, it may not be the star map?" ”

Qian Chao looked at Tang Ping strangely, and then asked:

"Tang girl, don't you look at the night sky at night?"

"I ......"

"Come," Qian Chao walked to one place and pointed to the top of his head with his hand, "what time is it, if it's night, when we go out, you look up and see if there are a few very bright stars in the sky arranged like this." ”

"Looks like that, Ping." Yan Xuan said that she had some impressions, she often practiced the Fengling Fire Knife in a no-man's place at night, and sometimes she would look up at the starry sky and miss her mother in her hometown, so she had some impressions of the arrangement of the starry sky.

"Okay...... That...... Even if there is an arrangement of stars in the sky, what about it? What's the use of these? Tang Ping asked again.

"Of course it's useful, and I just figured it out......" Qian Chao paced two steps, looked up, and pointed again, "The few on it should be my hometown, the brightest stars that can be seen in the night of Qi Kingdom, but I don't have much impression, alas, I am still the most familiar with the stars in the night sky above the head of the Five Spirit Sect." ”

Then Qian Chao pointed to the round platform in the center of the stone room, looked at a few companions and said:

"And this formation is a teleportation array!"

……

Teleportation Circle!

"Money boy, then you can tell me in detail, I'm very confused now!" Tang Ping said.

The rest of the people are also waiting for Qian Chao to explain this place.

"This world must be very big, so big that even those ancestors on the Jade Pot Mountain may lose their way and don't know where they are, and this world will not be the only place in our Central Continent, there must be a vast land like our Central Continent in the sea, otherwise ......"

Speaking of this, Qian Chao took the two pieces of wood that he couldn't distinguish and shook them in his hand.

"Otherwise, the star map depicted on these two wood chips should be found here."

"You mean, these two pieces of wood are drawn on them...... Is it an extraterrestrial map? Tang Ping asked.

"Exactly," Qian Chao said, "it is precisely because the world is so big that the monks may not know where they are when they arrive at a place, so they have to discern the direction, know how far away they are from the starting point, and in what direction, probably this is the reason why they have this star map." ”

"That'...... How could they go so far away? Yan Xuan asked.

Qian Chao smiled and pointed to the round platform.

"It's through this that this magic circle can teleport people to an unknown distance in an instant...... There is a saying in the book, which is that the spiritual veins in this world are all interconnected, including the spiritual veins in all parts of our Central Continent, and also between the Central Continent and those outside the territory that I don't know how far away, teleporting people away, relying on the spiritual veins and the formation used for teleportation, there is no spiritual vein, only the formation, it can't be done, and vice versa. ”

"Huh...... There are both spiritual veins and formations here, don't you mean ......" Lu Pingchuan's eyes lit up.

"Alas, I can recognize this as a teleportation formation, but I don't know how to use this formation, there must be many strict conditions, and how to make this formation work, I don't know ...... now"

"Brother Lu! Where are you going? ”

"Hehe, just ask, eh, Brother Qian will figure it out in the future, can we also go far, far away?"

Tang Ping didn't wait for Qian Chao to answer, so he also asked:

"Then how did you tell that this formation was for teleportation?"

"Remember the formation we found where we met the evil beast?"

"Hmm."

"That formation is somewhat similar to the one in front of me, but the formation of the evil beast is much simpler than this, that can't teleport people away, but can ...... The soul teleported away, remember? ”

"Well, that's what you said at the time. That...... Can this really teleport people? If a person stands up and teleports away, only the soul is teleported, but the body remains, then it is not all at once! ”

This can be regarded as pouring a basin of cold water on Lu Pingchuan's head.

Qian Chao smiled:

"There are indeed teleportation formations, but it's hard to find a way to arrange them now, remember the 'thousand-year war' we talked about when we chatted before, according to what I saw from the book, it seems that since then, the teleportation formation has become a forbidden technique, not only are the monks not allowed to arrange such a formation again, but even many of the teleportation formations at that time have been destroyed, just to prevent those extraterritorial monks from invading Central Continent through the formation. This formation, I don't know how long I've been in this underground, judging from a few runes on the periphery, I judge that he is the kind of formation that can teleport the monk away, but because it's too complicated, I can only understand a small part, this is a large formation composed of many formations, and I can't understand how the many related formations inside it work. Of course, what Tang Yatou said is also a possibility, but I still think that this is the formation that can teleport people out, and I will study it slowly in the future, after all, this is closely related to the knowledge of the spiritual vein, and many things are not understood now. However, Brother Lu, this formation itself is a relic, but it is not a formation that opens the ruins, which cannot be wrong. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, there are a lot of spirit stones I got today, eh, Brother Qian, you think about it carefully, maybe we can go out through this magic circle in the future, how much foot power will have to be saved."

"That'...... Who should have laid out this formation? Li Jian asked.

"This ...... It's hard to say," Qian Chao said, "I'm afraid the time is too long......"

"Now the legends about the teleportation formation are concentrated in the past'Millennium War', it is said that when those extraterritorial monks invaded Central-continent, they were teleported through similar formations, and our monks in Middle-earth began to look for the remaining formations everywhere after they repelled them, and then destroyed them, this in front of you, if Qian Boy is right, it must be very long, and later, the 'cross-sea battle', those extraterritorial monks who invaded came on various big ships, and I haven't heard that they came with magic arrays."

"That'...... Will anyone still ...... from here? Popping up? Yan Xuan said with some concern.

"That might be too small, having been defeated twice, those people should also remember it."

Qian Chao looked at a few pieces of wood in his hand and said leisurely:

"I'm like I've got them all together and seen how big the world is!"

Another point, Qian Chao knew in his heart that even if the wood chips in his hand could be put together, they could only be used to distinguish the direction after teleportation, where there was such a magic circle, this wood chip was not marked, and the magic circle, if it could be used in the future, it would either be arranged by himself, or it would be arranged long ago when he found it.

……

Next, Qian Chao took out a pen and paper and carefully depicted the formation for future study, not only that, but even the star map above his head was also traced by him, which took a lot of time.

"Let's block it up when we get out, otherwise, without that blind bug, maybe someone will come down and find here." Tang Ping said.

In fact, according to what Tang Ping thought in his heart, it would be good if he could destroy this place, but in this case, Qian Chao was probably reluctant, and maybe the five people here could really use it in the future, so he dispelled this idea.

When they flew out of the cave, it was already a night breeze and a starry sky outside, and the five people unconsciously spent a whole day in this cave, and together they blocked the entrance of the cave with nearby rocks, and then covered it with the white sand here.

At this time, Tang Ping looked up at the stars in the sky, and really recognized a few of the brightest ones from the sky, and saw that the arrangement was really consistent with the arrangement of the glowing cobblestones on the top of the stone chamber.

"See?" When Qian Chao saw Tang Ping tilting her head, she knew that she was distinguishing the stars above her head.

"I see!" Tang Ping nodded: "Sure enough, it's the same as inside." ”

"How many more of these formations will remain?" Li Jian said.

"Well, will there be this kind of formation in our sect?" Yan Xuan asked.

"That's not something that we Qi refining disciples can know, take your time, we'll know later!"

(Author's words: About the teleportation formation,Naturally, it has appeared in many classic fantasy novels.,My story will naturally be involved.,This chapter is the foreshadowing of the wood chip that was found when Qian Chao really opened the first ruin.,Originally, I wanted to push this setting out later.,But if it's too late.,I'm afraid that five people will either do bad things and run away in the future.,Or when five people escape in the face of a strong enemy.,The appearance of the teleportation circle is a little abrupt., Therefore, it is necessary to launch this setting earlier, in fact, it is not early, more than two million words, hehe.
