Chapter 53: Underground Caves
I listened to Yang Chenglin tell these things, and it was indeed a little hard to believe that he used to be a young man with amazing talents, but I didn't expect that it was because he used all his vitality and spiritual power to refine that cage, so it led to this waste wood appearance.
But now that this cage has been refined, he should be able to make progress in the future!
I took the cracked cage in his hand and injected a trace of aura into it to see what kind of material it was, but the cage immediately sucked my aura into it.
The cage seems to serve no purpose other than defense and survival, and the thing seems to be able to absorb any energy it comes into contact with endlessly.
"This thing, did Jin Tazhi give it to you?"
"Yes, Taizhi said, this thing will save her life in the future, whether she can survive or not depends on this."
I thought of the woman in the iron cage in my dream, surrounded by darkness, and she shouted at me, "Luo Fusheng, use the black Tai Chi mirror".
I can't see the woman's face clearly in the dream, is that Kim Taechi? What kind of plan is this Jin Tazhi planning?
"Yang Chenglin, do you know what Jin Taizhi is doing, what is she planning?"
According to my understanding of Jin Tazhi on this information, I think she is still a good person, although she cannot be evaluated by simple justice or evil, but she is a good person on the whole.
That cage is a treasure of the most yin, if you want to refine it into shape, you need a person who is yin with eight characters and even the five elements to be willing to warm the yang with his own yuan, and this person who is warm and yang will also be difficult to become a great road because of the absorption of essence and vitality by this cage.
Yang Chenglin said that Jin Taizhi promised to marry him after the cage refining was successful, would this be true, or would it lie to him?
"She's refining her own small world, I don't know the specifics, she always says that the world is going to be chaotic, and she's preparing."
Yang Chenglin's mood suddenly dropped, and I felt that he was only halfway there, and there must be something left unsaid, so I decided to stimulate him.
"Yang Chenglin, you know that your little cage can only be refined by those who have the eight characters and five elements of the Yin, if I don't help you, if you rely on yourself, you may have to waste on that thing for the rest of your life."
"I know what you mean, Jin Taizhi won't lie to me, she told me a long time ago, I was willing, anyway, if it wasn't for her, I would have died in the underworld."
I was suddenly relieved, and even a little moved, Jin Taizhi wanted to get this cage, there was a secret she couldn't tell, but she told Yang Chenglin the consequences of refining this cage.
And Yang Chenglin did not hesitate after guiding this consequence......
Can I only say that I was fed a mouthful of bad dog food by this love of life and death again?
Hate yourself for talking too much.
I helped Yang Chenglin repair this cage again, and after he picked it up and checked it, he quickly hid it like a baby, and didn't let him take a second look.
Seeing that it was already close to evening at this time, I didn't expect to stay in the small purgatory of the dog for four or five hours, originally I wanted to come to this small hill to see the terrain and study the future plan, but now it seems that there is no time.
It's time to go back and take a look, arrange the construction of this tunnel tomorrow, and see how Xu Laosan and Shen Daniu are doing.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the grain store, I saw Zhao Donglai looking at the account book with a sad face, and when he saw me, the expression on his face directly changed 360 degrees:
"Shopkeeper, you're back, where have you been in the past two days, but I'm in a hurry, our tunnel has been suspended for two days, and everyone doesn't dare to go down if you're not there."
What? Two days!
I was shocked, but my face was as calm as I could.
It seems that in addition to trapping people inside by gathering the aura of resentment, the time inside is not right, and time seems to have slowed down, only a few hours inside, but more than two days have passed outside.
"Oh, I'm going out for something, Zhao Donglai, you can inform everyone to officially start work tomorrow!"
I said as I walked into the backyard and went down the tunnel.
On the way back just now, I kept thinking, if there is a master behind the dog cultivation to manipulate all this and build a small world, if the small purgatory cultivated by the dog is the source of fire in this small world, then this Liu Changgeng's white bone demon is the source of the earth, but in comparison, the source of the earth seems to be too weak.
There's definitely something down there that I haven't noticed.
I went down to the tunnel leading to the cemetery of Xiaoshanbao, only to see that there was still a mess inside, and the few places that had collapsed before to subdue the white bone demon were still there, but when I used the power of Black Tai Chi to perceive this underground, there was no longer the cold aura that I had before.
It stands to reason that the White Bone Demon has been under this for more than ten years, and it must have to mutilate a lot of lives, absorb the essence of life, and absorb the anger of resentment in order to maintain its cultivation, but it seems that Zhao Dong has not heard anything about the sudden death of any people in this mountain and river village.
At this time, Zhao Donglai also came down to this tunnel.
"Zhao Donglai, in the past ten years in Shanhe Village, have any villagers died or disappeared suddenly?"
"More than ten years...... Oh, yes, it is the family that originally lived on our tunnel, surnamed Liu, was originally a big family, with a family of 25 people, more than 200 acres of land in the family, and a business name in the county seat. Originally, the family moved to the county seat to live, about ten years ago, the lord of the family became an official, took the whole family to worship the ancestors, lived in the house above for two days, and then suddenly disappeared, some people guessed that there may be something to go back to the city overnight, but so many years have never returned, the fields have been secretly planted and no one cares, and the shops in the village are also deserted and no one operates. ”
"Anything else?"
"Others, oh! A few years ago, I also heard the daughter-in-law of the fool of Yuan in the east of the village say that the fool of Yuan was sleeping in the house, and a hand was stretched out underground, and the fool of Yuan dragged him to the ground, and the daughter-in-law of the fool of Yuan was also a little stupid, and no one believed it when she told people everywhere, now that I think about it, what the daughter-in-law of the fool of Yuan said is true, and the fool of Yuan was really dragged underground. ”
"Anything else?"
"I haven't heard of it anymore, but the cows, horses, chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs in the village are often missing."
"That's right, Zhao Donglai, you go up first, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you if there is any danger in a while."
"Yes, shopkeeper, be careful." Zhao Dong walked away.
I looked at the position of the white bone demon in front of me, stretched out my hand, and the ring on my hand flew out, suspended in front of my eyes and changed into the appearance of the black Taiji mirror itself, and the two colors of black and red rotated on this mirror - this black Taiji mirror actually had a new change.
Immediately, two forces flew out of this black Taiji mirror and submerged into the soil layer in front of me, and at the same time, I summoned the power of Li Shan and poured it into this black Taiji mirror, with Li Shan, the source of continuous power, these two forces continued to explore the depth of the underground and the wider position.
The soil in this underground is extremely clean, there are no small insects, rats, etc. living underground, there is almost no life, presumably this white bone demon has devoured all the life in this underground, no wonder when digging the cellar before, there were no insects and rats found underneath.
The power of Black Tai Chi is constantly moving forward, probing downward, the search area is getting larger and larger, and the breath in front of it is also beginning to become more and more humid, it should be about to come into contact with the groundwater.
I tried to distinguish the situation under the ground through the feeling transmitted back by the power of this black Taiji, and suddenly, a burst of cold qi passed along these two forces, I closed my eyes and concentrated, and the strength of my hand continued to increase, more and more power of Li Shan was infused into this black Taiji mirror, and I tried to find more information about the source of this power.
But what I didn't expect was that under the endless power of Li Shan, my mind was suddenly clear, and the underground situation seemed to be reflected in front of my eyes like a projection - just where the groundwater appeared, there was a huge underground cave.
The cave is about four or five thousand square meters, inclining, and on the higher side there are some small caves, about twenty or so, each of which has a person lying in it, and the lowest side is immersed in water.
In one corner of the cave there is also a large pile of dry bones more than two meters high, including the bones of people and various animals.
The moment my spiritual power and the power of Hei Tai Chi entered this cave together, the people who were originally lying in the small cave actually sat up together and looked around.
There are living people here, and it seems that they have discovered me.
This location is at least nearly 100 meters underground, how can anyone live here? And I've already explored the surrounding area, and there's no access to the surface.
Alien? Lizardmen? Mothman? Ancient races that live underground......
After all kinds of ridiculous thoughts flashed through me, I tried to probe the past with a force to these "people"—
"Roaring ......"
As if sensing my power, these people actually split their mouths together, revealing their mouths full of sharp teeth and roaring in the direction of my black Tai Chi power, which also happened to be the direction in front of me.
In an instant, I could see these "people" clearly, their clothes were all rotten one by one, their skin was shriveled and sticking to the bones, and they were all showing a kind of black and red, their facial features had shrunk, their lips were basically rotten, showing two rows of teeth, their noses were only two holes in their faces, their eyes were blood-red, and their eyelids had long been rotten. Dry fingers and extremely long nails......
It turned out to be a zombie.
These zombies should be like the white bone demons, and their grievances will not disperse after death, and they will be strange in this underground.
It's just that as soon as my spiritual power and black Taiji power entered this cave, I was discovered by these zombies, what is going on?
Looking at the only remaining clothing styles on their bodies, it seems that they are not too old corpses, they should have only been dead for a few years, and it is impossible to cultivate zombies with five senses and super strength in such a short time.
