Chapter 6: Ebony
The force not only knocked her out, but also smashed the rock at the entrance of the cave, which meant that she had a way out. But before she had time to be happy, a huge shadow had already approached, Liu Qingmian could only roll on the spot a few times in a row, only to hear a loud noise in her ears, and the ground where she was lying down just now had been shattered by a huge tail!
In the panic, she only had time to glance at it, but she saw a strange beast with two wings on its back, like a fierce tiger, still maintaining the action of flicking its tail just now, but the focus was not on her, but on the haystack where she was meditating just now!
The beast had a tiger face, and its two sharp fangs were exposed, which looked very terrifying, but at this time, it gently approached the grass pile with its huge beast head in a gentle way. Liu Qingmian dragged her paralyzed shoulders and retreated with difficulty, watching this magical scene, and when the strange beast reached the middle of the haystack, she realized that the thing she was lying there just now and ignored by her as a stone was actually this guy's egg!
It was because she had sat too close before, and her body was stained with the smell of the beast's lair, and the beast had just come back and smelled it, thinking that there was something wrong with her egg, so she was furious and launched an attack.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly hit the rock wall behind him, and Liu Qingmian realized that he had retreated to the entrance of the narrow path at this time. Looking back, I saw that the strange beast suddenly changed its gentle appearance just now, and was looking at her from a distance, and then the tiger's mouth opened, and a vicious roar burst out, shaking the entire rock gap The earth and rocks swished down, and at the same time, the limbs bent and accumulated, and they were about to pounce here!
I don't know if there are too many unexpected situations today, her body's reaction speed has been improved at this time, and before she has an idea in her head, her body has already happened to flash into the narrow path next to her, and moved sideways to move in for a distance, the strange beast slammed into the rock wall when it pounced, and destroyed the entrance with its claws as if venting its anger, completely ignoring the danger that this place might collapse!
I didn't have time to think about the sudden abnormality just now, at this time, the entrance to the trail had been blocked by broken rocks, and I was already unable to fly, and if I continued to wait here, I was afraid that I would be caught up and torn apart. Liu Qingmian hesitated for a moment in his heart, and could only walk along this dark mountain road.
It should be dark here, and you can't see your fingers, but there is a glimmer of light that reflects the rock walls on both sides. After looking carefully, I found that this glimmer came from the bracelet on her wrist, and I don't know what kind of treasure it is because of the material that looks like wood and non-wood, but it has the effect of luminous beads, but the effect is not significant.
With this glimmer of light, she managed to avoid the rocks on the ground or the roots of plants. The rock walls on both sides seem to be natural at first glance, but when the light source is brought closer, the fine but regular lines on the wall should be created by the master from time to time, even if they tremble from time to time because of the crazy impact of the beast, they only drop some fine earth and stones, which are very firm, so the journey ahead is quite smooth, and it didn't take long to come to the end.
Surprisingly, there is only a downward hole at the end, and a ladder rope hangs from the edge of the hole, leading to the bottom. Liu Qingmian wanted to pull the ladder rope up to check whether it was firm, but he only felt very heavy under the drag, but the ladder board was obviously only made of bamboo, and it would not be so heavy at all, it should be embellished with something at the tail.
Although she couldn't see the whole picture of the ladder rope, she was more relieved, she could still keep it with such a heavy thing, and the strength of the rope was guaranteed, but she didn't know what would be waiting for her below.
"God, let me open it once..."Liu Qingmian prayed silently in her heart, because she was worried that she would be hit by the falling earth and stones, she didn't dare to delay any longer, and carefully grabbed the ladder rope to climb down, the rope is made of some kind of plant vines, similar to the plants that grow horizontally and vertically on the ground on the road, it is very tough, but it takes a lot of effort to process it.
Following the ladder rope, Liu Qingmian first passed through a cave, the process seemed to be endless because of the darkness and boredom, until there was a sudden light below, and she was able to cheer up. It wasn't until she finally left the long passage and came to an open space that she could see where the light was coming from.
It's not a huge space, but it's amazingly tall. The blue fluorescence of the stars emits from the stalactites hanging upside down in the air, and there are some strange plants nearby, which also emit blue light, reflecting this place like an underworld, ghostly, and a little like the starry sky at night, silent and magnificent. From time to time, a few strange echoes sounded around, and it was actually the wind that blew from nowhere, quickly shuttling between the rows of stalactites.
Liu Qingmian held her breath and immersed herself in the magnificence of this underground space, and only came back to her senses after a while, she remembered the heaviness of the ladder rope just now, and couldn't help but look down.
If the surrounding light is compared to scattered starlight, the end of the ladder rope is a blue moon, illuminating almost the entire underground space. Unknown ores and plants were clustered at the feet, and in the center of them was a behemoth attached to the end of the ladder rope, a large black piece that looked like a stone, but it didn't feel like that to the touch.
Urged by curiosity, her speed of climbing the ladder was a little faster, and it didn't take long for Liu Qingmian to stand on this dark and heavy big guy, and this long journey of climbing the ladder finally ended. Kneading her aching hands, she crouched down to look at the boulder in front of her.
Liu Qingmian thought about it, tapped its surface with her fingers, and suddenly came with a crisp fantasy, there was something hidden in it! Liu Qingmian became interested, and carefully stroked and checked around this boulder, but after a few laps, she didn't find anything suspicious of the mechanism, but she didn't dare to destroy it rashly, so she could only sit down on the spot and rest for a while.
Liu Qingmian leaned his back against the boulder and closed his eyes to recuperate, only feeling that the concentration of aura here was several times more sufficient than when he was on it just now, so it seemed that the source of these aura was very likely to be here. At this time, the movement from above also stopped, Liu Qingmian opened her eyes and looked around, the long-term lack of sunlight made her sense of space a little blurred, but according to the time she went down, this should be in the belly of the mountain.
Suddenly, a small reptile climbed up to a cluster of glowing plants next to it, and it was very conspicuous at once, there were plants and air in the belly of the mountain, but I don't know where this reptile came from.
Liu Qingmian was curious for a while, so he looked at it for a while. The reptile seemed to be guided by something, crawling from the plant to the nearby boulder, and then stopped there, its tentacles vibrating over its head as if it had detected something. And in the other direction.
Liu Qingmian was a little sleepy, but the next picture suddenly made her sleepy. When the reptile crawled somewhere below the boulder, it suddenly disappeared entirely!
She hurriedly leaned over, and carefully probed around it with her hand, and felt and touched, and found a depression, but it must have been used to cover the eyes, although her hand had reached into the depression, from the outside, a piece of her arm had disappeared.
Liu Qingmian couldn't help but be a little worried, and found a stalactite gravel cut off on the ground and entered the depression, only to hear a soft sound of "click", and the "boulder" in front of him actually made a series of gears from the inside, and the originally heavy surface was divided into several pieces, which were deconstructed little by little like a mechanism, until the thing hidden in the middle was completely exposed.
In fact, just now she vaguely felt that this "boulder" looked like something, and now she can confirm that this is a coffin!
In the coffin, the blue fluorescent plants were unusually luxuriant, and the two white bones hugged each other closely, and between the two of them, there was a round jade the size of a palm, and the treasure light was looming, and it was not ordinary at first glance.
Liu Qingmian was overjoyed, and she didn't know which senior's cave mansion actually made her pick up the cheap. She said "offended!" and reached out to take the bead in her hand, and before she could look closely, there was a piercing pain in her hand, and in an instant it seemed to be frozen in ice, and a feeling of extreme coldness that paralyzed her whole body spread from the palm of her hand.
But at this moment, the blood demon who had been sleeping in his body moved for the first time, and a wave of fiery breath rushed out of his chest, instantly blocking the cold qi that invaded his body, but it was only a little slow, and the two forces collided together again, this yin and yang fused together, fighting and tearing each other, and in an instant it disturbed the breath in her body, Liu Qingmian couldn't help it anymore, a mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground, and she fell to the ground weakly, and the competition in her body did not stop.
When I checked the Blood Demon in the rock gap before, its aura was very weak, and for some reason, it was able to burst out with such great power at this time.
"Okay, let's open it..."Enduring the tearing pain in his body, Liu Qingmian lay on the ground and convulsed. The jade that she was holding in her hand just now fell to the side at this time, not only became dim, but the surface was also shattered.
When the cold prevailed, she fell into an ice cave, and the next second, it burned like fire, and the pain was so domineering that she didn't even have the strength to make a sound.
As a storm unfolded within her, the surroundings were still silent, except that the plants around her were withering at a visible rate, and even the magnificent fluorescence was fading. Liu Qingmian focused on everything around her, trying to distract herself, and gradually, the pain did decrease, and when she was able to move again, she found that her clothes were soaked with sweat.
Liu Qingmian had never suffered this kind of pain in his two lives combined, if it wasn't for the paralysis of his whole body just now, I am afraid that he would have hit the wall in pain. She continued to lie on the ground and rest for a while, and when her strength was restored, she raised her eyes and looked around, almost all the plants had withered, and only some ores could be illuminated, completely losing the strange beauty just now.
Liu Qingmian helped the coffin to get up, and the two white bones in the coffin had turned into powder, but a jade slip and a jet-black sword hidden below were revealed. The magic weapons of the cultivators are strange, but the one who can use this kind of heavy sword has never been seen before, except for the one in history!
This thought flashed in Liu Qingmian's mind, and he could only check it after he got out of trouble. Liu Qingmian bowed to the coffin with his hands folded, and then carefully opened the bones, and when his fingertips just touched the jade slip, a blue light curtain lit up in an instant, and a large piece of dense handwriting appeared on the cave wall in front of the coffin.
Liu Qingmian read a few sentences casually, only felt that it was more mysterious and subtle than the Blood God Tribulation, she hurriedly glanced at it a few times, and finally stopped at a slightly larger paragraph on the right, the handwriting was completely different from just now, revealing a desolate taste, which should be the words left by the author of the jade slip: "I am an ebony real person, I am a longitudinal and horizontal life, buried here, and I will not regret it in the end, but I am ashamed of the ancestors of the sect for generations, and I want to bear the stigma of eternity for me." When the juniors of later generations saw this message, they had been infused with the yin fire of my divine craftsman, and they had to learn the secret record of our sect to be resolved, and go to the Heavenly Craftsman Valley to forge the immortal pool to be completely refined within a hundred years, and return the jade slips of the sect, so that they could live without worry. ”
"If you don't return after a hundred years, then the yin fire will burn your body and refine your soul, and you will turn into a wisp of remnant soul of my Shen Xin Sword, and you will not enter reincarnation. Whoever does not believe is allowed to test. ”
Ebony Daoren wrote this passage in this flat tone, and he already looked down on life and death, but the strength of the threat in that sentence should not be underestimated. Liu Qingmian remembered the cold breath that devoured his body just now, and thought that it was the yin fire he mentioned, but the yin fire was now sleeping in his chest with the blood demon, and he didn't know what the situation was in his body.
