Volume 5: The First Song Five Hundred and Nineteen: The Cold Water Pool (11)

Lu Pingchuan ran around and searched almost all the corpses he could see, the storage bags were all gathered together and rummaged through, and after disposing of those scattered things, the five of them walked towards the cave or the depths of the street while carefully inspecting the houses on both sides of the road.

Some houses are very simple, almost an empty house, which can be seen at a glance from the door or window, and some houses also have suites, and no matter who is curious, they will go in and take a look.

The furnishings in these houses varied, and most of them were for living only, so they were very simple, with only stone tables and beds and a few futons. But there are a few are more exquisite, the furniture and utensils used are specially brought in from the outside, there are carved wooden shelves and beds, the curtains on it are brand new and clean, there are exquisite lacquered wood bookcases, there are bookcases with many treasures, there are some books and utensils inside, it seems to be very literate, even the futon used for meditation is woven with good guard grass, the furnishings in the house are so, presumably the master should be a more elaborate casual practice, I just don't know which of the people who is the owner of this house is one of the corpses outside.

The general room is not big, it is for casual cultivation to live, in addition to the relatively large houses on both sides of the road, such houses are often arranged with the kind of stone that can shine, so that the room is extraordinarily bright, look at the layout of the inside seems to be a tea house or tavern and other places, in addition to placing many tables and separating them with screens, there is a similar arrangement to the counter at the front, there is indeed wine and tea behind the counter, I think it should be those casual cultivators gathered here, or drinking or drinking tea, A place to talk to each other at the same time. And there are many places like this, along the way, Qian Chao and the five people found as many as seven or eight places, each of which is not small.

When he walked out of a large room like a tea house, Qian Chao suddenly smiled and said:

"Do you think that if this place is full of people coming and going, isn't it a bit like Ruixuan Town?"

Yan Xuan looked along the street and said:

"It's very similar, indeed."

Tang Ping said:

"There are fewer signs and pretenses, otherwise it would be more like."

Lu Pingchuan looked back and forth and said:

"Well, if these dead people stood up and did whatever they wanted, don't say it, it would be more like that."

In the cave where they were, corpses could be seen as far as the eye could see, the smell of corruption was unbearable, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan couldn't wait to walk on tiptoe, and Tang Ping and Yan Xuan were startled after hearing Lu Pingchuan's words.

"Brother Lu, don't say that, it's scary!"

"Hey, hey."

Li Jian said:

"It seems that these casual cultivators do regard this place as their home!"

Money tide says:

"Yes, they do want to gain a foothold here for a long time, let's continue, there is a fire eye in the cold pool, and that is the place where those loose cultivators refine evil swords and evil weapons, remember An Zhen, Yu Gizzard and Dong Cheng, who first hit our idea, those three guys originally wanted to take me here to refine weapons for them, according to Senior Brother Chu Yuan, there are also scattered cultivators who open furnaces and alchemy here, and we should be able to find it if we go further."

Tang Ping looked at the countless houses on both sides of the road and asked:

"Did Chu Yuan say how many people there were when there were the most people here?"

"At its peak, it was said to be about 300 people."

"So much!"

This street or this cave is very long, and everywhere you walk through, you can always see Hengqi and Eight who have been dead for a long time, Yan Xuan covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and frowned and asked:

"There are so many corpses here, did Wen Liang kill all the people here in the first place?"

"No," Qian Chao said, "at least they wouldn't have killed everyone at that time, and there must have been a lot of them captured alive by him." Wen Liang didn't know how to enter the seventh layer of the cold pool, and the torture rang didn't know, they might know the exact location of the entrance, but to enter, they had to crack the formation there first, which required someone to try, to see if their method was correct, and it was very dangerous to do so, if the person who entered it was wrong, he would definitely die, so they had to leave some people to replace the dead ghosts. ”

As he spoke, he walked forward, and the corpses gradually became much less, and there was a corner in front of this street-like cave, which was also brightly lit, and when Li Jian, who was walking in front there, signaled that there was still no danger there, and the five people turned around directly.

This time in front of the five people appeared in front of a huge cavern, the top of the cave was high, almost a regular circle, a circle of stone walls straight up, in the stone wall also carved out a stone chamber, in the middle of the cave placed many futons, in front of the futon covered with stone slabs, faint heat through those stone slabs.

Qian Chao was a little stunned when he saw this scene, he thought that there were only one or two fire eyes in this cold water pool that could be used for refining weapons, and it was probably like this, but he didn't expect that the number of fire eyes in this cold water pool was actually no less than a hundred, although it was not as good as the Chengqi Hall, but he was still very surprised to see it in this deep underground.

"This is it," Qian Chao said, then pointed with his hand to the center of the cave and said, "This is the place where those scattered cultivators refine evil weapons, and under those stone slabs is the fire eye. ”

Then Qian Chao made a little identification, and then pointed to a place like a cave on the opposite stone wall in the distance and said:

"There, that's the entrance to the fourth floor of the Cold Pool."

Lu Pingchuan first approached the covered stone slabs curiously, and gently kicked a piece open with his foot, and suddenly a bright red hole was revealed under the stone slabs, and the powerful heat continued to pour out, and the sudden heat made Lu Pingchuan startled, and said:

"Sure enough, it's the same as Brother Qian's refining eye."

When Qian Chao saw it, he also leaned over to take a look, nodded and said:

"Well, the fire veins here are not bad, and they are not inferior to those of Chengqitang."

The fire eye can refine the weapon and the alchemy, so Yan Xuan also came over and took a closer look:

"Well, as long as you bring the Dan furnace, you can indeed do alchemy here, but alchemy is about calmness, and in this situation here, if many people gather together and make a mess, they can't be cleaned up at all."

"How can there be any alchemy masters among the scattered cultivators," Tang Ping said and asked Qian Chao again, "Qian boy, what are you going to do here?" ”

"I have the means to cut off the fire veins here, let's arrange it when we leave, even if someone can get into this place in the future, it will be impossible to refine evil weapons here and harm people."

At this time, Lu Pingchuan almost turned aside all the stone chambers that were carved into the stone wall, but found nothing.

There are no corpses here, and there is an eye of fire here, and it is close to the entrance to the next floor, it seems that the corrupt aura of the corpse on the corner is much weaker here, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan no longer need to cover their mouths and noses with their skirt sleeves, but these two women have already made up their minds, and after returning to the sect after this incident, they must wash it well, and wash all the breath on their bodies.

æŽįŽ€ says:

"This is the place where they refine weapons and alchemy, and over there is the place where those scattered cultivators live, it's hard to imagine that there is such a place in the depths of the underground of our Five Spirit Sect, this is really like a town hidden deep underground, today is also an eye-opener, I don't know what the fourth layer will be like."

Money tide says:

"Senior Brother Chu Yuan said that the third layer is mostly scattered cultivators, and the fourth layer is almost all the places where the sect's Yu Nian will be entrenched, and the place where the scattered cultivators stay can come to Yu Nian Hui, but the scattered cultivators of the Yu Nian Hui can rarely go, and the two sides are clearly distinguished."

"Brother Li," Tang Ping said, "This is actually nothing, in the future, we will be able to go out after building the foundation, maybe we can go to a few famous places to go around, there are a few big cities are very famous, there is a world on the ground, and another world underground." ”

"Oh, and places like this?"

"Of course there is, and there is more than one, well, I also listened to what my sixth grandfather said, at the junction of Muyang Sect and Meng Cailou, there is a big city that is very famous in the cultivation world, called Ningwang City, which is much larger than our Ruixuan Town, and all the people in that city are monks. The ground of Ningwang City is said to be magnificent, the buildings are tall, the pavilions are exquisite, the roads are neat and wide and there are many shops, and the streets are also monks from all over the place, shoulder to shoulder, very lively, where it is said that the people of the six sects of Zhongzhou can see it, and the strangest thing is that Ningwang City has its own rules, neither subject to the restrictions of Mu Yangzong nor obeying the orders of Meng Cailou, the city is just like our Five Spirits Sect, it is strictly forbidden to fight any fight, even if the enemy meets can not have any action, If you want to do it, you have to go out of Ningwang City, which is very peculiar, and whether it is Mu Yangzong or Meng Cailou, they all acquiesce to the existence of Ning Wangcheng. My sixth grandfather said that there are two city lords in Ningwang City, and they are a pair of brothers, both of whom are monks in the Yuanying realm, so there can be such big rules. ”

Lu Pingchuan heard this and asked:

"Is there another city under Ningwang City?"

"Indeed, there is a large space in the depths of the underground of Ningwang City, and I don't know how long it took to build, and there is almost no difference between the underground construction and the ground, of course, there must still be a difference, that is, the underground city does not see the light of day all year round, so it seems gloomy, and the people who come and go in the underground city are all kinds of people from Central Continent, etc., well, there are mostly evil cultivators and all kinds of notorious scattered cultivators, it is said that the underground Ningwang City is a good place for those evil cultivators, where even the characters who are wanted by the major sects can also be seen, But the Six Sects of Central Continent couldn't enter there to arrest him, and they could only do it when he left there himself. It's kind of a shelter for those people. ”

"And places like this!" Qian Chao was also very curious when he heard it.

"Well, Ningwang City is the most peculiar big city in Central Continent, in fact, there are many similar places, and there are similar places on the border of our Five Spirit Sect, but they are much smaller than Ningwang City, in addition to some unknown ones, they are also similar to the places we saw just now, easy to defend and difficult to attack, scattered cultivation and evil cultivation are entrenched, generally speaking, such places are mostly to do some shady livelihoods, in the future, we can go out, and it is likely that we will also experience a few of them."

"I'm looking forward to it." Li Jian said softly.

After staying here for a while, the five of them had to enter the fourth layer of the cold water pool through that passage, and there was nothing in this third layer except corpses, which meant that the next four, fifth, and sixth floors were likely to encounter Wen Liang, so the five of them became more and more cautious since entering the passage.
