Chapter 362: Under a Hundred Feet
The heart moved at will, pieces of black stones suddenly appeared on Jiang Feng's side, although the total number was not much, it could only be condensed into the size of a half-human high shield, but it was extremely sharp, the spiritual power in Jiang Feng's hand bloomed, and the expression became weird, Fang Jinlu with a nervous face wrapped in it, and told him to hold his breath, and at the same time, the "giant wood barrier" condensed the wooden shield that surrounded the two, and at the same time, the black stone turned into a sharp funnel shape and quickly drilled into the ground in front of the two.
The black stone can easily drill through the hard rock layer in the spiritual land, for this kind of ordinary soil, it is not a problem at all, under Jiang Feng's signal, the two jumped into the cave that was dug in a hurry, and a small amount of black stone behind them surged, burying the cave again, and the two of them slowly descended, and soon reached dozens of zhang underground.
As he continued to go deeper, Jiang Feng could no longer perceive the situation on the ground, believing that the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce monk who was wandering nearby would soon lose his goal and return in vain.
Outside, there was darkness, only the glimmer of the wooden shield, flickering in the lonely and cold underground. Following the previously locked position, Jiang Feng manipulated the black stone and dug in the direction of the Eastern Bo City Spirit Land, until through the shield, he could see the shattered spirit stone ore near the left, and Jiang Feng knew that it was not far from the Spirit Land.
Descending again, reaching a deeper depth, it was not until a hundred zhang down that Jiang Feng made the black stone stop, took the pill to replenish the aura, and then sneaked again, meandering upward, until he sensed that there was an empty place, he did not dare to act rashly, in the spiritual land, there may be a guardian, although the black stone is sharpened like mud, but there is still a lot of movement, widening the left and right space, Jiang Feng once again took out three golden retriever digging tigers, which he deliberately added before going to Fang's house, but it was not "quick alchemy" The refining of this ordinary golden retriever digging tiger, the excavation efficiency is not high, but the victory is that the movement is small, and after half an hour, the two of them quietly entered an empty and dark place.
Fang Jinlu didn't make any sound during the whole process, he had been observing carefully, occasionally playing two spirit runes, this spirit rune seemed to be able to eliminate the sound near the two of them, so Jiang Feng was also happy.
Oh, I also said that I am not a thief!.
This is an empty cave, the side wall is smooth, it seems that someone has walked around here frequently, Jiang Feng buried the hole roughly, to ensure that it was not discovered in a short time, so he made a mark, and began to explore with Fang Jinlu here, the pattern here is obviously different from the place where Jiang Feng used to divination, but Jiang Feng is sure that since there is a major suspicion in the spiritual land of Dongbo City, combined with Chu Yiming's experience before and after, then the key to the problem is mostly here, but the depths of this vein extend in all directions, and it is extremely difficult to find the right place, which is a little recklessγ
"Is there a way to find traces of the formation?" Jiang Feng asked in a low voice.
"Yes, there is, but this place is also too big. Although he complained, Fang Jinlu still sat down, as if he was thinking about how to deal with it.
After a while, a dim green light lit up near him, illuminating a dozen mouse-like magic instruments with dull fur, and he pinched some spirit stone raw ore powder from his side and embedded it in the mouse's abdomen, and the mouse swam away as if it had life, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
"We're just waiting here. β
"Is it reliable?" There is not enough time, before the return of the ordinary miners and monk stewards here tomorrow morning, Jiang Feng secretly thinks that he must leave here, not to mention the trouble that will be caused by being discovered, if he can't participate in Chu Yiming's wedding in time, he will also miss the appointment with Xiao Mingzhen.
"I don't know, but it should work. β
The two of them waited like this for half an hour, and just as Jiang Feng wanted to make a move and rely on his intuition to look for it, Fang Jinlu moved, "Go! β
He stood up on the spot with agility and meandered forward, and with the help of the night vision ability of the "shadow", Jiang Feng found that he did not bother to find his way at all, but easily bypassed many obstacles and went straight to the goal. It seems that when the previous mouse moves, it will leave a secret mark, which is secretly connected to a certain ability of Fang Jinlu, or it may be a magic weapon, Jiang Feng caught a glimpse of a ruler-shaped thing in his sleeve, and the "Exquisite Treasure Light" looked at it, glowing with a faint blue and purple light.
This guy has a lot of treasures on his body, even if the "Owl Pattern Bronze Bell Soul Gu" was very suitable before, Jiang Feng couldn't help but have the idea of exploiting him again, this thought was fleeting, but he saw that Fang Jinlu had stopped.
It's a dead end, a dead end with nothing. The stone walls around it didn't look any different, and the craggy spirit stone ore was embedded in it, no more, no less, and there was no obvious difference from other locations.
Fang Jinlu stepped forward, there was an extra night pearl in his hand, shining on the plain stone wall, the mouse magic weapon under his feet was still spinning in place, as if he had lost his way, Fang Jinlu lowered his head and put it away, his right hand was attached to the stone wall for a moment, and then he turned around, "Behind this stone wall, there is a broken formation. β
"Isn't this a natural stone wall?"
"Yes. But the path we are taking seems to be used only by ordinary miners. There should be another way here, either we missed the entrance, or there was another mystery. β
Jiang Feng took a deep breath and carefully sensed it for a moment, feeling that there was no monk's breath nearby, the black stone was wrapped around his arm, and slowly pressed on the stone wall, the circular hole became bigger and bigger, and many stones peeled off, Fang Jinlu played the elimination charm again, two
After walking a few feet, they came to another place.
This is still a closed space, about dozens of zhang square, some places are natural stone walls, others seem to collapse and pile, in this case, it is obvious that someone deliberately created a landslide when leaving here. Fang Jinlu shot out a light curtain talisman and suddenly illuminated everything here.
Empty!
There was nothing left, as if it were just a place that had been buried by a collapse by chance, and the ground was rough and uneven, not at all like a sign of a visit.
"The ground has also been treated. After Fang Jinlu looked at it carefully, he came to a conclusion, "But it just shows that there is a problem here, if it is a part of the spiritual land, there should be traces of excavation, but this place is too clean." He became interested, wandering through the empty space, until he came to a halt at a slightly higher point.
"It's a pity that the people who handled it were not professional enough. He reached into the hard rock formation, pulled out a one-inch-long red copper nail, held it in his hand for a moment, walked a few steps, and squatted down again, this time he did not find it, he was not discouraged, and continued to walk, and finally found five red copper nails of different lengths.
"It is inevitable that there will be a formation, but I am afraid it will be difficult to detect how it was arranged in a short period of time. It's just that judging from the scale of the formation, it's not something that ordinary formation mages can arrange. β
"How much time do you need?"
"Two hours. β
"Okay, deal with it as soon as possible, and then we'll leave. β
"Any clues? If so, maybe I'll be able to find out the secret sooner. β
"Make a vow!"
"Why do you need this?" Fang Jinlu complained dissatisfiedly, but he saw that Jiang Feng did not hesitate at all, there seemed to be no possibility of making concessions, and then looked at the red copper nail in his hand, to say that although this nail is commonplace, he often uses it, but if he looks carefully at the fracture of this nail, it is obviously different from the one he uses, with his insight, he knows that it takes a lot of money on this plain nail, it must not be an ordinary formation, and he can't help but feel a little itchy in his heart.
"Okay, our Jin Lu promises not to reveal what he saw here to anyone, otherwise he will disappear in the near future. He made a simple and straightforward oath, and then looked at Jiang Feng, meaning that you can say it quickly.
"This is a teleportation array. Jiang Feng said concisely, seeing that Fang Jinlu didn't seem to care, he continued, "It's not used by the teleportation monk, it's a magic weapon, and the distance can be extremely far. β
"Extremely far, how far can it be?"
"Straddling between the southern and northern continents of the Tenen Dynasty. β
Hiss β
Fang Jinlu took a sharp breath, thoughtfully, he suddenly became a little nervous, his eyes kept shaking, as if he was overcoming the fear in his heart, and at the end, he stomped his foot and ran towards the place where the red copper nail was first found.
Jiang Feng didn't bother him, just watched him constantly take out all kinds of magic weapons, do all kinds of calculations, occasionally record them, and use several jade bottles to fill a lot of gravel powder here, and occasionally, he also went to several collapsed stone walls to check, and also found some suspicious remnants.
"Let's go!" Before waiting for two hours, Fang Jinlu proposed to leave.
"What, have you found it all out?"
"No, but if you want to make more discoveries, it won't be possible anytime soon, you're right, there was indeed a large teleportation array here. Although the people who handled the scene were not professional, the brute force destruction had destroyed almost all traces, and I needed to study it carefully to restore the original appearance of this place and know the real formation arrangement. β
"Are you interested in arranging this formation?"
"Of course, being able to connect between the South and North Continents, do you know how much of a stake there is?"
"I know, but I also have to live to spend it. "Jiang Feng came here just to confirm the conjecture in his heart, and now that he has borrowed Fang Jinlu's judgment to prove this matter, he can plan the follow-up link with Chu Yiming with peace of mind, as for whether to find a way to take Chu Yiming out safely, or find a way to get into it and become a profitable part of this link, it is necessary to think in the long run, one of the most obvious shortcomings is that the two of them are not good at cultivating now, even if they can get involved in it, they will not be able to benefit too much, and they may even be abandoned at any time.
"I plan to study it and open up a secret trade route when the time comes, Master Jiang, are you interested in cooperating?" Fang Jinlu's eyes were even brighter, and he suggested first.
Do it yourself?
Jiang Feng has never thought about such a problem, even if he knows that there are people smuggling and trafficking between the north and the south of the continent, but only one side will definitely not work, the other party must have allies in the south continent to cooperate, but he does not, but thinking about it, the road to the south continent, where the Yutan in Chumen Town is connected, isn't it?
It's just that he hasn't figured out the real mystery there, thinking of this, he wants to pull Fang Jinlu over to take a look immediately, but after thinking about it, although Fang Jinlu's attainments in the formation are not low, his character is not reliable, so let's take my time if I cooperate with him. Moreover, he has more important things at the moment, and it is the right way to persuade Wan Lao Mo to open a trade route through Li Dabang as soon as possible, but before that, he still needs to wait for news from the Yu family.
............
North of Red Dragon Gate, Zen Heart City.
It is said to be a city, but it is actually one
The special location of the block is not under the jurisdiction of the Red Dragon Gate, but belongs to the Zen Heart Temple under the command of the "Nine Old Men".
It was actually very difficult to enter the location of this half-city and half-courtyard, and it was difficult to get close to this place without a letter of recommendation from a Yuanying or a pseudo-heaven-level monk. However, this is not too difficult for Li Dabang.
He had now gone deep into the dungeon, and the Cloud Star Master was now opposite him, across the forbidden railing, meeting him.
Heh-
When the man with the cloak saw someone coming to visit, he let out a deep groan from the depths of his throat, and then slowly looked at Li Dabang, who had read countless people, and felt trembling in the depths of his soul.
Great-grandfather was right, this was a terrible guy. Fortunately, the prohibition here is perfect, and he has no spiritual power, and it seems that Li Dabang, who was seen through by the blue pupils in the messy hair, immediately stabilized his mind, fortunately, this place is not as chaotic and dirty as a secular prison, and the place is still clean, so as not to be disturbed by the dirty environment.
"Do you know 'Spring and Autumn Drunk'?"
"Know...... That's been for many years. What, in your hands?"
"Can you tell me about the secret in that painting? β
"Yes. The Venerable Cloud Star kept staring at Li Dabang, but did not continue.
"What conditions do you have?" Li Dabang, who is well versed in this, knows that there is no free lunch in the world.
"Help me make a wish come true, and I'll be able to look at it. β
"Except to leave here, and it is not forbidden. β
Heh-
The messy hair moved again, and another murmur was heard, "I never expected to leave, I am a wicked man, and I have been repenting every day since I came here." β
"But not enough to atone for your sins. Li Dabang originally thought that this person had only mutilated some monks, in fact, it was the same, but after consulting the classics of the Zen Heart Academy, he found that the target of this person's mutilation was not ordinary, and the worst was the descendant of a Yuanying monk, and this Yuanying, for several people in the "Nine Old Men", had the grace of dripping water, in fact, Li Dabang felt that this was the main reason why he was caught here, as for the hundreds of cases, the value is not worth mentioning compared to this.
"I understand. So, I beg you to help me release the remnants of the souls that are still trapped in my ban, so that they may have a chance to be reborn. This is also related to the picture of 'Spring and Autumn Drunk'. β
Li Dabang didn't make a sound, and continued to listen to this cloud star master, reminiscing about the past.
"Speaking of which, there is a mysterious cave hidden in 'Spring and Autumn Drunkenness', and when I got this painting, I managed to find out the secrets in it, and successfully entered it, explored a part of it, and transformed it into my refining workshop, and the remnant souls I mentioned were also imprisoned there without rest. β
"Where's the cave?"
"Somewhere in the wetlands on the southern edge of Huoyun Ling, five hundred zhang down, there is a secret cave entrance, through which you can enter what I call the cave, which sits between an underground rift valley. β
"How long is the leyline and where is it going?" Li Dabang didn't ask too much about the cave, he suddenly thought of something else.
"There are two thousand miles, in the northeast and southwest direction, the width is different, the depth is different, and some parts are cut off, I have explored a part, to the southwest, it should be able to reach the hinterland of Lizong, to the northeast, and to the north shore of the Troubled Stone Sea. It's just that it's all Earth Fire Jedi, and according to my guess, this leyline should be the birthplace of the various spiritual lands around here. β
I see, Li Dabang had some special thoughts in his heart, "Then how can I find the entrance of this cave?"
"You can't learn my method, you can use the juice of the 'Baige millipede', mixed with the dew condensed on the 'Chulan Yinqiao Lotus' in the morning, soak in the 'Spring and Autumn Eternal Drunkenness', and you will naturally find clues. β
"Why should I trust you?"
"When you pass through the entrance, it is the moment of the hundred and ten souls who are freed from my bondage, and it is mutually beneficial, so why not do it? Why should I lie to you, you know, I don't know how long I have been waiting. β
After speaking, his blue eyes flashed several times, and then disappeared in the scattered hair in front of his forehead, and he turned to face the wall, like a stone sculpture, and never said a word again.
It's a strange person, seeing that the goal has been achieved, Li Dabang doesn't dare to stay longer, but he is still worried in his heart, thinking if things are too smooth, to say that the mystery of entering the cave mansion, in that painting, he does not doubt it, and even can try it when he turns around, but through the entrance, at the same time, the matter of releasing the soul is too dangerous?
Maybe the mystery is here, the Venerable Yunxing is not a good person, even if he has been imprisoned here for hundreds of years, if he wants to say that he has repentance, some people may believe it, but he Li Dabang does not believe it, he has seen countless examples of although he is not dead, and he has arranged a lot of back-hand examples, Li Dabang feels that it is better to be careful in everything, at least, he must find someone to share the risk.
As for the southern edge of the Huoyun Mountains, isn't that where the "Spirit Surge Feast" is, could it be that there is a secret connection between the two? But compared to these, he is more concerned about the thousands of miles of leyline, which leads directly to the north shore of the Troubled Stone Sea, if he can enter it, wouldn't he be able to make some stops near the Snow Island?
