Chapter 335: Cave Mansion, Ancient Corpse [Ask for Subscription]
Qingyun Yuan!
This is the name of the small courtyard in front of Zhou Yang and Jiang Fengxian.
A very common name.
"The formation in this small courtyard, I'm afraid it must also have a fifth order!"
Zhou Yang looked at the wooden gate of the small courtyard with a solemn gaze, and muttered in a low tone.
He had tried it with his divine sense and the "Leaving the Fire Golden Pupil" just now, but he couldn't see through the slightest mist inside, which was not like something that a fourth-order formation could do.
When Jiang Fengxian heard his words, he also nodded slightly: "It seems that the predecessor who left this cave mansion is still a powerful array mage!"
"Fortunately, the formation outside has exhausted the spiritual energy accumulated by the spiritual veins in the valley, and even if the formation inside is powerful, most of them are also powered by spirit stones. ”
"In this case, even if the spirit stone is used as the driving energy source, over the past few hundred years, there should be very little spiritual power left to support the operation of the formation!"
Zhou Yang then expressed his opinion, and then the two glanced at each other, and directly sat down outside the courtyard to meditate and recover their mana.
The power of the fifth-order magic array, Zhou Yang and the others had already learned before, and if they didn't restore their mana to a perfect state, neither of them dared to break into the formation easily.
And after a series of battles, the two really need to rest and recuperate.
After a day and a night had passed, the two of them, whose mana and mental state had recovered perfectly, began to officially break into the battle.
What was somewhat unexpected by Zhou Yang and Jiang Fengxian was that the formation that shrouded the "Qingyun Yuan" was not the previous killing array, but a phantom array that tested the will and heart of the immortal cultivators.
After entering the formation, the two of them fell into illusions and faced the tests of various illusions.
They must rely on their own will to pass the layers of illusion tests, otherwise their consciousness will sink into it forever, and they will eventually become like the walking dead.
This kind of phantom array, for those who are not strong-willed and whose state of mind cultivation is not strong enough, is much more terrifying than those who kill the array.
Although the killing array is dangerous, it can still rely on foreign objects to help it pass.
However, there are very few treasures in this phantom array that can help immortal cultivators pass through, and they can only rely on the immortal cultivators' own will to break through.
Some major sects often use this kind of phantom array to sharpen the minds of their disciples, and they have high-level monks who monitor the operation of the formation at any time, and as long as the disciples who sharpen their minds in the formation have any abnormalities, they will immediately shut down the formation.
However, even so, there are often some immortal cultivators who suffer too much mental trauma in the illusion realm, which affects their future path.
Of course, for those sects, this kind of person who can even suffer from the illusion trial is not worth their capital to cultivate, and no one will care about whether the path will be smooth in the future.
Zhou Yang: It is impossible for them to have the elders of the sect to help close the formation now, and they can only rely on themselves to deal with danger when they encounter danger.
It can be clearly seen that the two young men and women who stepped into the courtyard gate were sometimes full of smiles on their faces, sometimes hideous like ghosts, and sometimes panicked and looking like they were about to face a catastrophe, struggling in the illusion.
In less than half an hour, the two of them were already covered in sweat, their faces were pale, and they looked like they were in great mental condition.
Uh-huh!
After a low groan, Jiang Fengxian, who had cultivated much higher after all, first woke up from the illusion.
After she woke up, her beautiful eyes first showed a look of confusion, and then as if she remembered something, her pretty face changed, and she quickly looked down at her body.
When she saw that her clothes were not damaged in the slightest, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and raised her head again to look at the environment in the courtyard.
Because she had passed the test of illusion, the white mist in the courtyard had no effect on her, and all the scenes in the courtyard were exposed to her eyes at this time.
I saw that this courtyard is the same as the imperial garden in the palace, the garden rockery is not lacking, the pavilions and pavilions are lined up everywhere, and the white jade paths connect the buildings everywhere, and the whole courtyard looks exquisite and beautiful.
However, the difference is that the gardens here are not planted with ordinary flowers, but with all kinds of precious spiritual plants and spiritual trees, and there are even rare spiritual objects of the fifth rank.
Some of these spiritual creatures withered and died because they had not been cared for for a long time, but most of them were growing vigorously under the abundant spiritual energy in the cave, exuding vigorous vitality.
Jiang Fengxian's beautiful eyes swept over these spiritual objects, and the look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she almost immediately wanted to step forward to pick these spiritual objects.
But before she could take a step, she stopped again, and turned her eyes to Zhou Yang, who was not yet awake beside her.
I saw her eyebrows frowning slightly, and after thinking about it, she suddenly pinched the magic technique with both hands, raised her hand and sent out a cyan aura that fell on Zhou Yang's body, and then clenched her teeth and shouted: "Duh, don't wake up yet, when will you wait!"
Yes!
Zhou Yang screamed, and suddenly stepped back with his head in his hands, his eyes full of panic.
"Zhou Daoyou, are you okay?"
"The matter was urgent just now, and the concubine was afraid that you would be indulged in illusion and unable to extricate yourself, so she used this frightening method to help you wake up. ”
Jiang Fengxian withdrew her jade hand with the same expression, and looked at Zhou Yang with a pair of beautiful eyes and explained.
When Zhou Yang heard her words, his eyes were slightly certain, and then he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Jiang Daoyou's words are serious, it should be Zhou Mou's gratitude to Jiang Daoyou for his help, if it weren't for Jiang Daoyou's help, Zhou Mou would have been able to break free from the illusion in the end, and he would definitely be exhausted and lose his vitality!"
"Zhou Daoyou is polite, it's just a gesture, the business is important, you and I should search this cave first. Jiang Fengxian waved his hand, and said with a jade hand pointing to the courtyard.
Zhou Yang's eyes followed the direction of her jade hand, a different color flashed in his eyes, and then nodded and said, "That's right, it's really important to get down to business." ”
Jiang Fengxian would never have known that Zhou Yang actually woke up not long after she woke up, but when she saw that her attention was all on the spiritual objects in the courtyard, she had the heart to test her to see if she would kill him while he was still in the illusion in order to swallow the treasures inside.
The result of the temptation made him very satisfied, Jiang Fengxian was indeed a partner worthy of his trust, and a fellow practitioner who could make in-depth friends.
It was not that Zhou Yang spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but in the face of an entire cave of Jindan period monks, in the face of many spiritual objects of immeasurable value, and in the face of the possible existence of the "Nine Heavens Xuanjin", he really couldn't easily believe that others could resist the temptation and not swallow it alone.
And just now the two of them were in a fantasy world, which is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for those who want to swallow it alone.
At that time, as long as Jiang Fengxian wanted to swallow it alone, he only needed to fly the sword lightly, and he could take Zhou Yang's head.
Therefore, for Zhou Yang, there is no more suitable for temptation than this situation.
In fact, Zhou Yang suspected that the reason why the owner of this "Qingyun Garden" arranged a phantom array in the courtyard was to deliberately test human nature.
Just imagine, if a group of people who came to the cave to explore and hunt for treasures entered the courtyard together and fell into the illusion, the first person to wake up when they entered it, looking at the spiritual objects all over the courtyard, and the teammates who were still struggling in the illusion without any defense, would they have the intention of swallowing it alone?
If someone really wants to swallow it alone, then the effect of this phantom array is much stronger than a killing array!
Of course, these were just his guesses, and he was destined to not get an answer, so he could only suppress all the speculations in his heart and search the courtyard with Jiang Fengxian.
There are as many as seven or eight palaces with various functions in this courtyard, but Zhou Yang and the others invariably chose the main hall in the center as the first search target.
Generally speaking, the main hall of the above-ground part of the cave house is the living bedroom of the owner, and the underground part is the retreat room.
If the owner of the cave mansion really passed away, then his body and main relics should be in the living room or cultivation room.
The area of this main hall is not small, covering an area of three or four acres, the main gate is made of thousand-year-old ironwood, and the wood used up by the two doors together cannot be bought by a monk in the Qi cultivation period for a lifetime.
However, compared to the many spiritual objects they had seen after entering the courtyard, these two doors only served as doors in the eyes of Zhou Yang and the others.
After seeing the two of them look at each other, Zhou Yang waved his hand, and the closed door opened inward with a "clang".
The door is opened, the situation inside is unobstructed, only to see that the whole hall is divided into the front hall and the apse, the front hall is the place where the master entertains guests, there are many wooden tables, wooden chairs, wooden cabinets made of many spiritual woods, there are also many landscape paintings in the wild jungle in the hall, and some paintings even depict the scenes of wild alien life, hunting, and sacrifice.
Zhou Yang and the others entered the main hall, but they only stopped in the front hall for a while, admired the paintings hanging on the walls of the hall, and then went around the apse through the passage.
The apse is much larger than the ante, and it is mainly the master's bedroom and study.
The bedroom was half an acre in size, and there was a thousand-year-old jade bed in it, and the owner of the cave, a white-haired old man with an old face, was lying on the bed quietly with his eyes closed.
On a thousand-year-old ironwood table in front of the jade bed, there were magic weapons and storage rings used by the master during his lifetime, and there was a small formation to protect these things to prevent the spiritual energy in the treasure from escaping and draining.
From these preparations, it can be seen that the owner of the cave should have been prepared for the discovery and inheritance of the cave before he died, and specially made arrangements.
"This senior must have been a kind-hearted person who was willing to carry the younger generation, otherwise we wouldn't have encountered any other dangers except for those two formations!"
"You see, even these treasures he carried around were specially sealed with a formation to prevent the overflow of spiritual energy, and they were specially left to benefit future generations, which shows his good intentions!"
Jiang Fengxian swept over the remains of the old man lying on his back on the jade bed with a pair of beautiful eyes, and pointed to the treasures on the wooden table with a moving face, and whispered his opinion to Zhou Yang.
However, when Zhou Yang heard her words, he was a little noncommittal.
A person with a benevolent heart can practice to the Jindan stage with a loose body?
A kind-hearted person would arrange that kind of phantom array to test human nature in the courtyard?
How could he not believe it!
