Chapter 274: In the Secret Room
Specifically, they were four living corpses, each so alive that it seemed as if a single breath or shout at them could bring them back to life
It was unbelievable that the four corpses were in such vivid poses, as if life had suddenly been sucked out of them while they were fighting some demons and monsters
He couldn't help but spread the wings of his imagination, what happened at the moment when these four lives were suddenly lost, what was the reason for them to fall in this posture
Generally speaking, in Xu Dong's mind, the Lotus Cave is a sacred place, a relatively safe place to practice, and there is no possibility of any external forces invading
When he found two bodies in the first and second chambers, as well as a pile of white bones under the red carpet of the chambers, he thought that those practitioners had either attained enlightenment, ascended to heaven, or sat down in Nirvana, or died of natural old age
He hadn't even thought to connect the deaths of these men to the invasion of foreign enemies, and the image now unfolding from the Fourth Chamber of Secret had trampled on the sacredness in his mind
Obviously, if it weren't for the invasion of a foreign enemy, these four people would not have put on such a posture as if they were facing a great enemy
But what kind of people invaded the Lotus Cave in Bigu?
What invaded the Lotus Cave in Bigu was a human, a demon, a fairy, an evil spirit, or some other spirit, or some other unknown organism
None of this was known now, and he was anxious to get it straight
If this matter cannot be clarified, then this lotus cave is not as safe and even dangerous as he imagined
Regardless of the truth, he first carefully investigated the secret room and obtained first-hand information and evidence
At this time, Yaqian had already come up from the pool, she herself was already dressed neatly, brought Xu Dong's robe to him and put it on, she wanted to go into the secret room with Xu Dong to investigate, but Xu Dong stopped her
He closed the door of the secret room in advance, although he didn't detect any danger, he still didn't want Yaqian to see the scene in the secret room, otherwise it would have a psychological impact on her
"Don't, don't, don't let me go in alone and take a look, you are guarding outside, in case something happens to me inside, you go and call me Master in time"
Yaqian didn't see the scene in the secret room after all, and when she thought that what Xu Dong said made sense, she nodded and agreed
After Xu Dong entered the secret room, he hurriedly closed the door, he was going to check the four people first, and then expand the scope to investigate the secret room in depth to see if there was anything to cultivate by himself
He looked at the four men and women, the men looked to be about fifty-five or sixteen, three women were all young, two were about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and the youngest was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old
Of course, in the world of cultivation, it is impossible to see the real age by their appearance, and the appearance is only used as a reference, perhaps their respective real ages should be added to be 100 to 150 years old
What makes Xu Dong tempted is that these three women have their own merits, and they are all typical beauties in ancient times, and it is difficult to find such a glamorous and slightly poignant woman now
The man was wearing a gray robe, the style of the robe was a little different from the current one, the sleeves of the robe were one to two feet long, and the woman's skirt was tight at the top and loose at the bottom, and the clothes looked like a fairy
Xu Dong groped over the four of them, and what made him a little confused was that all four of them had a broken book in their pockets, and he put the broken pages together, which happened to be a complete exercise
The book that was found from the man's body had the words "Demon Removal **" on the cover, Xu Dong was shocked, and he knew from the title of the book that this was a different kind of exercise, and now there will be no such exercise
In addition to finding this exercise that was divided into four, Xu Dong also found a jade plaque on their respective waists, with a small seal carved with Yin text on the jade plate, the word "Shuntian" on the front and the reverse may be their respective names or road numbers
Xu Dong recognized that the man's waist card was engraved with "Xia Fan", the girl's waist card was engraved with "Dong Jian", and the other two women's waist cards were engraved with "Chunjing" and the other with "Qiu Shuang"
He recited these four names and immediately knew the meaning of them: "Spring is quiet, autumn is cool, summer is prosperous, and winter is simple", which is nothing more than the seasons and natural inflorescences
Uncle Long reminded him: "As the saying goes, 'people have left their names and geese have left their voices', as long as they have been the masters of the Lotus Cave in Bigu, there should be a more detailed record in the classics."
"Classics...... What texts are there...... It is documented"
Xu Dong was stunned for a moment, because his thoughts were still in the same position as before
Uncle Long urged him, "What are you still stunned about, quickly take out the "Lotus Cave Immortal Record" and rummage through it, there must be a record of the immortal affairs of these four people in the Lotus Cave."
Xu Dongcai came back to his senses completely, he hurriedly took out the "Lotus Cave Immortal Record" to search, but after searching for a long time, he did not find the four names of "Chunjing", "Qiushuang", "Xia Fan", and "Winter Jane".
He found another way to find the entry "Shuntian", but he couldn't find it as he wished, but he turned to "Demon Extermination" in the exercise part of "Lotus Cave Immortal Records"
"There are four islands in Dongze, each island has four demons, each demon has four demon armies, each demon army has four major demon clans, and each demon clan has forty thousand demons...... If you want to get rid of the devil, you can rely on this "Demon Removal **"
Xu Dong understood some of the meanings from the interpretation of the entry: "In that place in Dongze, there are four islands occupied by the demons, if you want the fairy island to grow, you must use "Demon Elimination **" to destroy the demons"
But the explanation was not related to the four men, and he had to find information about them
There was a sudden thump in his mind, and the words "Perception Skill" immediately popped up, and he remembered the "Perception Skill" given to him by Hei Wuling when he was on Ghost Island, and that exercise could open the "Heavenly Eye" in the depths of the human brain
It's a pity that due to Xu Dong's busy affairs during this time, he has never spared the effort to practice his perception skills to the extreme, but it should be no problem to check the words hidden in the book
He let out a sigh of relief, and then quietly activated his perceptual skills, and when his power increased to the limit, he carefully examined between the lines of the "Lotus Cave Immortal Records".
Sure enough, some invisible words that he usually couldn't see were revealed line by line, and he searched for the names of these four people from a large area of dense characters
The hard work paid off, and he finally found the name of "Xia Fan", "Chun Jing", "Qiu Shuang", and "Dong Jian", and the names of the three people were also next to it, and "Shuntian" was also attached to this phrase
Xia Fan's real name xx Dongze Island's eldest disciple of Shuntianmen sought a way to get rid of demons for the peace of Dongze Island and his three junior sisters "Chunjing", "Qiushuang", and "Dongjian".
On the day of X year, X month, X, due to the fate of the Tao, he entered the Lotus Cave of Bigu and obtained a copy of "Demon Removal **" in the X secret room
Xu Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he put his mind at ease, proving that there had never been an invasion of outside forces in the Lotus Cave, and these four people had just gone mad in practice, resulting in the destruction of their merits and their deaths......
It turned out that these four senior brothers and sisters were 'dying before they set out on the expedition', and they originally wanted to practice "Demon Removal **" to destroy demons, but they didn't expect that the demons themselves fell into the demons first
He couldn't help but have a sour nose and tears in his eyes, and buried the bodies of the four senior brothers and sisters, just like the two secret rooms, which also had a scarlet carpet on the floor
Xu Dong dragged the four bodies to the corner of the wall and buried them, and at the same time buried the two things on their bodies, the sword in their hands and the jade plaque in their waists, he felt that these things should be buried with the deceased
"You'd better put these two things away first, don't underestimate these four swords, they practice the magic sword of "Demon Exorcism", and the waist card also has the function of suppressing evil and driving away evil spirits."
Xu Dong listened to Uncle Long's advice, put away the four magic swords and the four waist cards one by one, and then dragged the corpses to the corner of the house one by one
These jade beads are dark green, round and shiny, and they look extremely eye-catching, and Xu Dong guesses that they should have rolled off a certain woman
Xu Dong didn't know what the purpose of these jade beads was, he thought that maybe this thing was not an ordinary thing, so he bent down and picked them up from the ground one by one and put them into the treasure bag
Then he began to bury the corpses, and when he lifted the carpet in a corner, he saw that under the carpet were the bones of the deceased, which could be described as a sea of corpses, estimated to be no less than a thousand skeletons
He put the four bodies into the pile of bones, as if the four bodies had gunpowder in them, and the flesh that was still alive just now burst out with a soft sound
Whether it was the man's ravine-ravine old face or the three women's flower and moon appearances, the corpse quickly disintegrated in this soft sound, and the bones and blood quickly disintegrated into the corpse mountain and sea of bones in the blink of an eye
After Xu Dong buried the four bones, he re-covered the scarlet carpet, and after everything was cleaned up by him, it looked as if nothing had ever existed in this secret room
After doing these things in one go, Xu Dong took a break to search for things that might have been left behind, and the whole secret room seemed empty and deserted, only some stone utensils were sparsely placed, and it seemed that he could no longer find anything useful
Xu Dong opened the heavy stone door and walked out of the secret room casually, seeing Yaqian with a worried look in her eyes
"It's okay," Xu Dong comforted her, "It's just another stone room, but it seems to be very suitable for practicing martial arts......
In fact, Xu Dong knew very well in his heart that he searched in this secret room for a long time, and the most tangible gain was the book "Demon Extermination**", he knew that after practicing this exercise, he would increase his ability to eliminate demons and subdue demons
He took out this four-part exercise from the treasure bag and decided to start studying it from now on, striving to study it as soon as possible
