Volume 5: The First Song Five Hundred and Twenty-Six: The Cold Water Pool (18)
After saying this, Qian Chao looked at this chaotic relief with both form and spirit, and there were some secrets hidden in the relief, and he said to a few companions:
"Although this relief is carved with chaos, what we can see with the naked eye is only a part of it, and there are still some things hidden on it."
"Oh, what is it?"
Tang Ping asked curiously after hearing this, and looked at Qian Chao at the same time, and saw the blue light in Qian Chao's eyes looking at the relief, so he listened to Qian Chao continue:
"I was excited by the white tiger's fangs just now, and somehow my blue eye technique was launched on its own, and it was at that time that I discovered it, without the help of blue eye surgery...... Well, I have a way for everyone to see it too. ”
After finishing speaking, Qian Chao's two hands began to change the trick, under the gaze of several companions, a crystal clear seal continued to appear out of thin air, densely suspended in front of his chest, Tang Ping and several people knew that this was Qian Chao's newly created rune seal technique, they noticed that the side of those seals with runes on them was facing the relief on the stone wall, and Qian Chao didn't understand what he was going to do next. After a while, many seals suddenly flew upwards under the manipulation of Qian Chao's hand and scattered at the same time, but the position of each jade seal was still the same as just now, and with Qian Chao's last hand pinched, all the jade seals emitted a faint brilliance shining on the entire relief.
Lu Pingchuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say:
"Hey! There's really something. ”
"Sure enough!"
"What is this?"
Almost simultaneously, the four companions noticed a difference in the relief.
Under the light of the faint brilliance emitted by those jade seals, the chaotic body of the horizontal head in the relief, there was something that was not originally there, it was a few blue and shining, shining swords, of course, those swords were not in kind, but were drawn with aura and hidden in the relief, if it were not for Qian Chao's means, I am afraid that only he himself could see it when he performed the blue eye technique among the five people, and now he used the technique of the rune seal to make those swords hidden in the relief visible, so that everyone can see it at a glance.
There are seven of them, and each sword shows the form of piercing into Chaos's body, and only the back half of those swords can be seen on the body and hilt of those sharp swords, on Chaos's head, back, belly and legs, and under the light of the brilliance of those jade seals, even the chaos in the relief looks full of pain, and the wide mouth like an abyss is more like a wail.
This scene amazed several people.
Tang Ping asked curiously:
"What does this mean exactly? Does it just mean that Chaos is now being banned for injuries? ”
"There is this meaning," Qian Chao said, tilting his head, "of course there are others." There is a record in the classics, saying that it is 'the seven orifices are opened and the chaos dies', which means that the chaos did not have the same seven orifices as people at the beginning, and later some immortals saw it and felt awkward to open the seven orifices for it. I read this story at home before I came to the Five Spirits Sect, and it basically said that people should not have too many desires and cleverness, otherwise people's innate nature will die. Now it seems that this story still has its origins, and perhaps what is hidden in it is the method used by our Five Spirit Ancestors to ban the ancient beast Chaos. Well, I estimate that when the ancestors of the five spirits banned Chaos, they led seven powerful spiritual veins through the chaotic body, just like using seven chains to penetrate the body and entangle it to death, so that it could not move a bit, probably the story in the book was derived from here, under the powerful suppressive power of the seven spiritual veins, Chaos was in a state of dying and immortal, so that even if it was powerful, it could not break free and escape, and could only be deeply sealed underground for I don't know how long, And those seven spiritual veins are expressed in this relief, which should be the seven sharp swords. ”
Qian Chao had speculated about the Five Spirit Ancestors' method of banning chaos before, and he had also talked about it with a few companions, but after a long time, everyone was not impressed. Seeing this relief today, especially after finding the seven swords hidden in this relief, Qian Chao is now more sure that his guess is right.
The other four companions didn't know anything about the study of spiritual veins and the art of formations, and today they just roughly knew the method of banning chaos in the first place.
"Who could have left this relief?" Yan Xuan said.
"Also, is the person who left the relief the same person who hid the seven swords in the relief?" Tang Ping also said.
Li Jian said:
"It seems to me that these seven hidden swords seem to prove that someone has found a way to get Chaos out of trouble, but ...... Maybe it's because they're out of the cracks, or maybe it's something else, but now Chaos is still sealed by the cage of heaven and earth here. ”
"Uh...... yes, what the hell is going on? Lu Pingchuan also joined in the fun and said.
Qian Chao sighed, these problems are not something he can know, he is now looking forward to the end of the matter here, and after returning to the sect, he will ask Mo Zu for advice.
Tang Ping shook his head when he saw that Qian Chao couldn't answer, and said:
"It seems that the money boy doesn't know, let's wait for Mozu to give an answer in the future, the secret in this cold pool is really puzzling."
After that, Tang Ping looked around, and said:
"Qian boy, we have been looking at this relief for a long time, whether it is on the surface or hidden, we have also seen it, almost, this is the hiding place of the torture man, although it is not big, but we should also look for it and see what we find."
"Okay."
……
As mentioned earlier, the fifth floor occupied by the torture is not large, less than half of the fourth floor, and the five people of Qian Chao are in a boxy stone hall, where the only thing that can be seen and the most eye-catching is the chaotic relief, and there seems to be stone walls all around, and there is no room to see.
Of course, this is not difficult for Qian Chao, he knows that the room used by the torture is probably also a cave on the stone wall, and he also used the formation to hide the door of the cave, after looking at the blue light in his eyes, Qian Chao found more than one formation, he first chose the stone wall on the left side of the relief, because there is only one stone door hidden by the formation, it seems that the hidden room there should be more important. After easily cracking the formation hidden on the stone wall, with the low sound of stone rubbing, a heavy stone slab slowly descended, and the cave hidden behind it appeared in front of the five people, and the light inside was also reflected from behind the gradually falling stone slabs.
However, as the stone door fell, there was a faint smell of blood at the same time, which made the five people's hearts tense suddenly, but standing outside the stone gate and taking a closer look inside, they found that it was still very clean, and there were no blood stains or even corpses.
"Well, what does it smell like?" Tang Ping couldn't help but cover her nose again.
"Blood," Li Jian said with a frown, "It's been like this for a long time, what is this room for?" ”
It is indeed curious, because the chamber is not very large, except for a stone bed in the middle, which is almost empty.
"Will there be a secret room in there?" Tang Ping looked at Qian Chao and said again.
Immediately, Qian Chao opened his blue eye technique and checked it again, then shook his head, indicating that Qian Chao was just a separate cave room.
When everyone looked at the door, Lu Pingchuan walked in with a grin, looked back and forth, and said:
"Is it possible to let that kid sleep here?"
"No," Yan Xuan also walked in, but she was careful and saw the strangeness on the stone bed clearly, "Brother Lu, look here, this is ......"
Lu Pingchuan glanced at it, then stretched out his hand and pulled the stone bed, and with a bang, a chain was pulled out of the corner of the stone bed by him.
"Hey, why is this thing there?"
"More than one." Li Jian said as he pulled out a chain from the other corner of the stone bed.
There are four strong chains on the whole stone bed, and at the end of the chains are shackles, depending on the thickness of the human wrist or the ankle, the other side of the stone bed can tighten these chains downward, so that the locked person will struggle on the stone bed and let the mermaid flesh, coupled with the smell of blood in this cave, it seems that it is not difficult to guess what this stone bed is used for.
Lu Pingchuan's hand wiped on the stone bed, sniffed it under his nose, and then said:
"It's pretty clean, I think this bed is a case board to kill people, right? The torture made this kid play quite fancy! ”
Yan Xuan's brows furrowed, she probably understood what Lu Pingchuan meant, could it be that the person who was caught was put on the bed, shackled with the four chains and shackles, and then tortured to death?
That's a bit too cruel!
"Not necessarily," Qian Chao said, "If you want to kill someone, where is it not good to kill, must you get to the depths of this cold pool, torture like this, and then kill?" The torture is not like a guy with perverted thoughts, I don't think this stone bed is necessarily for killing, well, we have fought with the torture, what do you think of the means of the torture? ”
In the last Wen Liang pursuit of the five people of Qian Chao, the five people in Da Cangze fought with the evil cultivators found by the torture and the torture envoy, he once trapped Li Jian and Yan Xuan by means, of course, he was also trapped by Tang Ping's illusion, so that Tang Ping knew a lot of his secrets with his mind trick.
Tang Ping recalled:
"One of his black swords is very powerful, and then he can use a black mist to trap people, but at that time, we only had any cultivation, compared to Wen Liang, compared to the sword cultivation that injured Brother Li at that time, I always felt that the means of torture were actually not very clever."
Yan Xuan and Li Jian had both been trapped by the black fog of torture at that time, so they were deeply impressed, and they also nodded when they heard Tang Ping say this.
Money tide says:
"Remember Dusa who died in the tide of Cold Spring Valley? There is also Ge Yu who escaped in the Great Cangze, Meng Huaifu and Brother Meng finally caught up and captured him alive, and now these two people are dead, and we should also see that these two people are definitely not spiritual blood cultivators......"
"You're saying the two of them are the kind of blood-destroying cultivators?" Tang Ping asked.
"They're just ordinary evil cultivators," Qian Chao said, "definitely not up to the Blood-Cult Cult, after all, in the cultivation world, the Blood-Cult Cult is as famous as the Soul Cult Blood Cultivator." Speaking of which, we have been paying attention to Zhang Yi, thinking that Zhang Yi should be a spiritual blood cultivator, although we are somewhat sure of this, but in the final analysis, it is just our guess, but this punishment makes it seem to me that nine times out of ten he should be a blood evil cultivator. ”
Li Jian asked:
"Is there any difference between an ordinary evil cultivator and a blood-shattering evil cultivator?"
"That's right, what's the difference between the Soul Worship Blood Cultivation and the Nightmare Blood Cult Cultivator?" Tang Ping also added.
Money tide says:
"Of course, there are differences, such as Dussa and Ge Tan, the two of them became evil cultivators because of the punishment of Jean, everyone should have noticed when Dusa and I did it, the torture let make a tattoo on him with the art of slashing talismans, but Dusa died that day in the Cold Spring Valley, and it was too late to interrogate, but Ge Yu was interrogated, according to him, he was tortured when he was in a coma and got a tattoo on his body, so he had to become an evil cultivator. In addition, Senior Brother Chu Yuan said that in addition to the people who could not build a foundation and died in the end, the rest of the people who broke the jar and broke down to do evil cultivation to build a foundation were basically looking for torture, and only at that time could they be allowed to enter the fifth floor of this cold pool, if I guessed correctly, this room should be the place where the punishment was given to others to use the spell of slashing, and those who finally wanted to do evil cultivation were the evil cultivators who became evil cultivators in this room. Speaking of sigils, I can also use the art of slashing, but I use it to engrave runes on the leather of demon beasts, and the torture is for the living, and the process is said to be very bloody, and the people who bear it are still extremely painful, so I use these chains. It seems that the punishment of making others become evil cultivators is the use of the art of slashing talismans. One of the people I can't figure out here is Yan Jing, I don't know if Yan Jing's body has any embroidery left by the art of slashing talismans, but he was willing to become an evil cultivator when he couldn't escape, so he only escaped from us once, no matter what, he became an evil cultivator and Du Sha and Ge Wei are not the same. ”
"The difference between ordinary evil cultivators and blood-destroying cultivators is that the methods of blood-destroying cults are more sophisticated, and in comparison, it seems that they are mastering the orthodox evil cultivation techniques. Although evil cultivators easily dare not reveal their identities in the cultivation world, the art of evil cultivation is not a secret, that is to say, evil cultivators generally do not need any teacher, but the blood-destroying evil cultivators are not, they have a teacher, and the high-level methods are all taught by the master to the disciples. As for the difference between the Blood-Cult Cult and the Soul Cult Blood Cultivator, the means of Cultivating the Soul Blood Cult are generally more sophisticated than the Blood-Cultivating Cult Cult, but the Blood-Cult is more simple than the Cult Soul Blood Cultivator, although it is not difficult to build the foundation of the Cult Soul Blood Cultivator, but the Sect requires them to look for those demon beasts and monsters with the ancient True Spirit bloodline inheritance, and then take their essence blood and then cultivate it themselves, which is more important to chance, so their Soul Cult is much more difficult than the Nightmare Blood Cult Cultivator. As for the rest, it is said that a Blood Cult can accept many disciples, while a Soul Blood Cult can only accept two disciples in a lifetime. ”
Hearing the nods of several people here, Tang Ping also asked:
"Where did you hear that?"
"Mozu told me something that day."
"Oh."
Next, Qian Chao opened two more caves, one of which should be used by the torture to make people usually live, there are all kinds of stone tables and stone beds inside, and there are some utensils to play with, but there are no important things, I think they are all brought on the body by the torture, and there is a fire eye in the second cave, which should be the place where the torture refiners are refined, it seems that the torture refiners do not need to go to the third layer to squeeze together with those loose cultivators.
After looking at a few rooms, there was nothing left to see on the fifth floor, and it was finally time to enter the sixth floor.
"Will those three guys be there?" Yan Xuan said with some concern.
"Whatever, anyway, when I saw Wen Liang, as long as that kid is alive, Lao Tzu must beat him hard!" Lu Pingchuan said.
