Chapter 465: The Little Bottle
A moment later, the Taoist boy who had run to the abbot to get the token came back panting, holding a brocade burden that was not too big.
Coming to the front of the master, Dao Tong presented the burden in his hand to the old Taoist priest of the void, and the old Taoist sighed, then reached out to take the burden, gently placed it on the stone table in the courtyard, and then made a gesture towards it, and then gently untied the burden.
After the burden was opened, Liang Cheng saw that there was a brocade box inside, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he looked at the old Taoist Dao, the old Taoist priest's face remained unchanged, and he gently opened the brocade box and said: "City Lord, you see, this brocade box is the token that has been preserved by Ruo Guan from generation to generation, and it is the box that once stored the key.
Liang Cheng looked into the brocade box and saw a key-shaped groove at the bottom of the box, so he put the key in his hand into the groove and found that it happened to be perfectly fit.
Xuan Yuan said excitedly: "That's right! It's this key, it's this key!"
Liang Cheng saw that there was a card slot at the bottom of the brocade box, but there was a small bottle made of metal inside, and he didn't know what it was for, so he asked, "Xuyuan Dao Chief, what is in this bottle?"
Xuyuan shook his head and said: "Back to the city lord's words, I'm really ashamed, Lao Dao doesn't know what it's used for, but I heard that this bottle used to contain some liquid things like water, and it also exuded a unique fragrance, but after so many years, these liquids have long evaporated cleanly, and there is not a drop left, but now this small bottle is empty, and there is nothing in it." ”
"So that's ......" Liang Cheng thought for a while, and decided to ignore the metal vial first, or try to see if this key could open the small door of the Chengtian Tower, but he didn't know if the Void Elder Dao was willing to let him try, so he planned to ask him.
Tong Hai watched from the side, and after seeing Liang Cheng's face, he had already guessed what the city lord meant, so he hurriedly asked: "I said that the Void Elder Dao, this Chengtian Pagoda has existed for a long time, and I don't know what secrets exist in it, since we got the key today, why don't we open it and take a look?"
The Void Elder replied: "This view has always been passed down by the ancestor Chengtian Zhenren's entrustment, the patriarch said that as long as the key to open the Chengtian Pagoda is born, no matter who gets the key, you can try to open the Chengtian Tower, if there is a lack of views of the upper and lower people can not be stopped, so the city lord and the Tonghai general do not need to hesitate, the poor Dao representative Ruo Lack of Guan welcomes the two to open the Chengtian Tower." ”
"That's good, that's good!haha! It seems that your ancestor has already made arrangements for the Tianzhen people, since that's the case, then let's try to open this Chengtian Tower, to be honest, I Tonghai has been very curious about what good things are in it since I saw this Chengtian Tower since I was a child, and it is also a very interesting thing to be able to solve the mystery today. Tong Hai laughed.
Xuyuan also smiled: "Don't hide it from the two adults, Poor Dao has always been curious about what is in this tower, originally thought that his longevity is approaching, and he will no longer have a chance to know the mystery, so he can only leave it to the latecomers to continue to guard the Chengtian Tower, I didn't think that I would have the opportunity to see this day, and Poor Dao is also a wish." ”
Tonghai asked Liang Cheng and said, "City Lord, if you can, then the last general will try to open the small door on this Chengtian Tower." ”
Of course Liang Cheng would not stop him, so he nodded in agreement, Tong Hai took out the key from the brocade box, walked towards the small tower, and when he arrived at the door, Tong Hai looked at the lock hole on the door with his eyes, and then looked at the key in his hand, and felt that it was exactly the same, so he put the key against the lock hole and prepared to insert it.
But Tonghai tried for a long time, only to feel that the key in his hand was only halfway inserted and blocked by a very tenacious thing, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't insert it to the end.
The key is not in place, so if you want to open this small door, there is no way to say, Tonghai is unwilling, and uses brute force to insert the key into the lock hole, but after trying for a long time, it is impossible to find that it is impossible.
Tonghai was helpless, pulled out the key and put his eyes close to the keyhole to see, but saw that there seemed to be something at the bottom of the keyhole, which emitted a slight light blue fluorescence, and it was the fluorescent thing that blocked the key, so that it could not be inserted into the bottom, and naturally it was impossible to open this small door.
After trying a few more times, Tonghai still couldn't insert the key into the lock hole, so he sighed: "Oh! ”
"How can this be?" Elder Void Dao was also anxious when he heard this, and he also put his eyes to look at the keyhole, and muttered as he looked: "There is really an object blocking there, it looks like it glows blue, and I don't know what it is! Why didn't I find this thing before?"
Seeing this, Liang Cheng also went over to look at the keyhole, and with his good eyesight, he clearly saw that there was a light blue round thing in the keyhole, which was translucent, not big or small, and it just blocked the position of the lock, and it looked like it was obviously not something that fell into the keyhole by accident, but it was originally in this keyhole.
Liang Cheng took the key from Tonghai's hand and stabbed the light blue thing with it, only to find that the thing was extremely tough and slightly elastic, and it could not be destroyed by force at all. House
Liang Cheng pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on the brocade box on the stone table, and saw the small metal bottle that was quietly placed in the card slot.
So Liang Cheng walked over, reached out and took out the small bottle, gently pulled the stopper, and looked inside the bottle, sure enough, this small bottle was just as Xuyuan said, due to the age, the contents of the bottle had already evaporated, leaving only a faint aroma.
Liang Cheng said: "It seems that the current situation is related to this thing, I estimate that the contents of this vial are missing, and the Chengtian Pagoda cannot be opened, but what was originally contained in this vial?"
Tonghai took the metal vial, put it to his nose and sniffed it vigorously, and then said thoughtfully, "Eh, I seem to have smelled this smell somewhere." ”
Tonghai was afraid that the smell in the small bottle would dissipate, so he hurriedly stuffed the cork again, and then stood there thinking hard, and said in his mouth: "Alas! I have a broken memory, and I obviously think that this taste is a little familiar, but I can't remember where I smelled it, no! ”
Xu Yuan had already smelled the smell of this small bottle, but with his knowledge as a monk in the foundation building period, of course, it was impossible to know what was once in the bottle, so he had to stand with Liang Cheng and Tonghai in a curtive manner, but there was no clue to provide.
Liang Cheng was sure that he had never smelled the smell in the metal vial, otherwise with his alchemist's discernment ability, he would definitely be able to identify what it was, but now he was facing something he had never seen before, and the only clue was just a smell that he had never smelled, so it seemed clueless, and it would be difficult to find a clue based on this smell alone.
It seems that the matter of opening the Chengtian Tower has reached an impasse, and the Void Elder Dao saw that this is not a matter, so he put the key and the small bottle into the brocade box, presented it to Liang Cheng with both hands, and said: "Lord of the City, General Tonghai, otherwise you will first keep the key and the bottle, and then slowly look for clues, when you find the clues, you can come to the contempt at any time to open this Chengtian Tower." ”
Liang Cheng sighed slightly, feeling that it was the only way to go, and was about to take over the brocade box, when he suddenly felt as if a few people were walking towards this backyard.
Liang Cheng looked back, but saw Shu Tuan with excitement on his face, escorting a strange-shaped kraken into the courtyard, and after seeing Liang Cheng, he saluted and said: "Lord of the city, fortunately, Shu Tuan set up an ambush in the Demon Cave, and sure enough, he ambushed the spies of the Sea Clan, and after some fighting, he caught this live mouth." ”
As he spoke, he pushed the kraken in his hand to Liang Cheng's side, the kraken's veins were controlled, and he couldn't resist, so he staggered and fell at Liang Cheng's feet, Liang Cheng raised his eyes and found that this guy was a squid spirit.
I saw that this squid's cultivation was not high, and he somehow cultivated into a half-human and half-demon appearance, his mouth was black, his eyes looked very wooden, there was a lot of ink on the corners of his mouth, but his stomach was flat, obviously he tried to spew ink to cover his escape in the fierce fight, and was finally caught by Shu Tuan.
"Okay! Master Shu has worked hard! I want to see what the Sea Clan is up to. Liang Cheng praised Shu Tuan first, then reached out and pressed on the top of the squid spirit's head, and immediately began to search for souls.
The squid spirit struggled violently in Liang Cheng's hand, let out a strange scream, and stretched out its tentacles to resist, but it was firmly grasped by Liang Cheng's big hand, and there was no resistance at all.
Then the whole body of the squid spirit changed like a brilliant illusion, changing into many strange colors, trying to break free from Liang Cheng's soul search, but unfortunately it had no effect, after all, it was still controlled by Liang Cheng, and then it gradually became weak, twitching slightly and no longer struggling.
Where has the Void Yuan Dao seen such a scene, he was shocked on the side, his face was as earthy, his eyes were firmly fixed on the squid spirit, his lips trembled slightly, he was curious and frightened, and he didn't seem to know what to do.
After a while, Liang Cheng stuffed the unconscious squid essence into the brick of the little monkey squatting on his shoulder, and whispered, "Seafood!
The brick suddenly understood, and swallowed the whole squid essence with a "whoosh", which was actually contained in the sac in his mouth.
The Void Yuan Dao was so startled by the little monkey that he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Tonghai helped him.
The old Taoist of the void was pale, and his voice was panting heavily, but he didn't expect this little monkey who looked harmless to humans and animals to swallow the squid essence with a big mouth, and the old Taoist priest felt that this scene was really terrible.
"Don't panic, this little monkey I raised only has a bit of a big appetite, but he won't hurt people, please rest assured!" Liang Cheng saw that the old man was frightened, so he comforted him.
