Chapter Twenty-Four: Shocked
At the end of the passage is another stone chamber.
Compared to the outer rooms, the area is at least half smaller, and the walls and floors are all inlaid with stone slabs. In one corner of the stone room, there were several boxes that were not too big or small.
Shen Yan's steps that he wanted to take were stopped by Cangming, and he turned towards that place.
The delicate crossbow bolts shot in dense bursts as he walked to the center. Such a change made Shen Yan's face pale with fright. If she hadn't been stopped by Cangming, the person who would have to face these crossbow arrows now would have been herself.
Compared to the enchantment that appeared around Cangming's body in an instant, which directly blocked all the arrows outside without hurting a bit, Shen Yan couldn't help but be a little afraid, she knew very well that if it was replaced by herself, she was afraid that she would be directly shot into a sieve at this moment.
The arrows didn't last long, and the figure flashed, and the people were already in front of the wooden boxes. However, he didn't directly open it, but with a flick of his sleeve, a blood-red and extremely thin silk thread shot out of the sleeve and wrapped it directly around the lock.
There was a small click, and the copper lock was directly entangled, and then a box was opened.
Countless silver needles as thin as cow's hair flew out at that moment, but they were directly lifted by the sleeves of Cangming's clothes, changed direction, and went straight to the wall, deep into it.
After opening all the remaining boxes in the same way, Cangming stood in place for a while before he spoke, "Okay." ”
As soon as he said this, the people who had stopped at the door walked over one after another.
When I got closer, I realized that each of the boxes was full of things, but not all of them were valuable. Others didn't know, but Shen Yan could see that many of those things were gifts from her and her brother to their parents, a beautiful leaf, a stone, and the hairpin that she saved money for her mother to buy for her father when she grew up, and the hair crown that she bought for her father were all collected here.
Qiuluo They are not people without eyes, and when they saw Shen Yan's expression at this time, they also guessed the origin of these things. No one said anything, and they didn't even step forward to touch these things, they just watched Shen Yan take them out in the same way, and then put them back properly.
The last chest was almost empty, containing only a stack of deeds and a pouch.
The deed was divided into two parts, one with Shen Mo's name and the other with Shen Yan's name. And inside that bag is the exquisite lock that was put away by Shen's mother back then.
Shen Yan collected all his emotions and handed over the things in his hand: "This is the exquisite lock I said." Sir and the Immortal can see if it is the Jade of the Remnant Snow that you are looking for. ”
Cangming was close, so he was the first to take the thing. The quality of this exquisite jade lock is actually not very good, it is made of very inferior jade. However, the craftsmanship of the jade craftsman is very good, and its value has increased several times. It's a treasure when you put it outside, but it's really not enough to look at it here for a long life.
He looked at the jade lock for a long time, and suddenly sighed, and directly crushed the jade lock with two fingers, and saw that the shell of the jade lock shattered to reveal its original appearance.
"This is the Jade of the Remnant Snow!" Shen Yan's voice was full of joy, just because the appearance of the jade lock that was crushed by Cangming was exactly the same as the pattern of the Jade of the Remnant Snow that Cangming brought back from the ninth floor before. "Then can we go and open the Imperial Tomb now?"
Cangming handed the remnant snow jade into Bai Zhi's hand, shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”
Shen Yan paused: "Why?"
"It was the four human emperors who built the Emperor's Mausoleum, and in order to prevent the Emperor Mingyue from being disturbed after her death, not only did she banish her into the void without a fixed place, but also set up many prohibitions outside. Therefore, it is not that you can enter as long as you get the Jade of Remnant Snow, but you also need a powerful cultivator to cast spells to break those prohibitions before you can enter. Now that I have joined forces with Brother Bai, there is nothing to be afraid of the prohibition outside the mausoleum, but I am afraid that there are other dangers in the mausoleum. ”
"Just in case, maybe you have to go to Taixuan Mountain to ask Mo Feiyu to accompany you. ”
Cangming said this, and turned his head to look at Bai Zhi: "I don't know what Brother Bai thinks?"
Bai Zhi nodded: "A few days ago, I received a message from her, saying that the demon blood has been dealt with, and if you calculate the time, Mo Feiyu should be in Taixuan Mountain now." ”
Since he said so, he obviously agrees with this method.
Cangming didn't leave and left, looked at the secret room and asked Shen Yan, "Do you need me to arrange an enchantment here to hide?" Although there is an enchantment hidden outside, but when they came down just now, they directly destroyed the enchantment through the Dream Shattering Book, although the entrance will still be hidden, but as long as people with a more delicate mind can find something wrong and find here. Looking at Shen Yan's attitude, although these things in this are not too valuable objects, I think she is unwilling to expose them to others like this.
And Shen Yan really didn't want these things to be found and taken away by others, so he nodded gratefully when he heard this: "Then thank you, sir." ”
Cangming chuckled, and after changing his gestures a few times, he saw the dark array patterns climbing on the wall, and finally converged into mysterious and mysterious patterns.
"Let's go. ”
Feeling that the people outside had broken through the circle of poisonous fog he had sown, Cangming thought that these people were still quite capable. If it were a normal case, he might still be interested in having a few tricks with them, but now that he had obtained the Jade of the Remnant Snow, he didn't plan to waste time, and directly left the place with Bai Zhi and the two of them with a flash technique.
Originally, the fastest horse from Jiuyuan City to Taixuan Mountain had to run for at least seven days and seven nights without sleep to reach it, but the flash technique allowed them to reach the gate of Taixuan Sect after dawn.
Forgetting to take a look at this place for the second time, Shen Yan couldn't help but think of Huai Jin, who had been expelled from the division, although he didn't get along much, but in the end, he knew each other, and he didn't know how he was now.
Looking back at Changsheng, she didn't seem to have any special reaction, but her lips tightened slightly.
The disciples guarding the gate knew them well, and they were a little nervous when they found that some cultivators had arrived at the mountain gate, but after seeing them, they hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to salute and said, "The two immortals are here to find Elder Feiyu?"
"Yes. Cangming nodded and asked, "Is she in the sect now?"
"Elder Fei Yu came back earlier. However, these days, I have been in retreat on Flying Feather Peak and have not seen anyone. Please also ask the two immortals to wait for a while, and the disciples will pass it on. ”
Cangming didn't want to break in directly, but said, "Then there will be labor." ”
The disciple waved his hand again and again, then turned around and quickly entered the sect.
And Cangming and they were not directly hung at the gate of the mountain and waited, but were taken to the quiet room next to them by another disciple guarding the door.
At that time, snowflakes fell in the sky again, and Changsheng fell asleep again by Bai Zhi.
Cangming stood under the corridor and looked at Feixue, and suddenly wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "There seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere of this Taixuanzong. "Compared to the last time I visited, it felt a lot more dignified.
Qiuluo rubbed his hands and stood by the fire: "I thought I was wrong." The last time we came, we didn't feel like this....... "She couldn't tell what the difference was, but she just felt that something was wrong."
Shen Yan also felt it, and was a little worried: "Isn't something happened to Taixuanzong?"
"No, it won't. Cangming shook his head: "Mo Feiyu is in charge here, if something really happens, it will also be a major event that can alarm the entire continent." What's more, there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal about the disciple guarding the door. ”
Such speculation has always been impossible to guess what happened to cause such a change, so Cangming simply did not say anything else.
They didn't have to wait long before they saw Huaiyu, the senior brother of Taixuanzong, come to greet them in person.
The last time Shen Yan came, they hadn't had any contact with this senior brother, but they only learned a little about it when they heard it talk about it from other disciples. It is said that he was cultivated as the next head of the sect, and he was often very busy dealing with important matters in the mountain gate, otherwise, Huaiyu, who was a famous disciple of Mo Feiyu, would definitely not even show his face when a distinguished guest came. It was really just in time for the sword trial conference at that time, and he couldn't wait to be able to use it as three people by himself.
Later, when he was not so busy, it was found out that Huai Jin was found to be the inheritor of the demon blood, and he only saw it from afar.
Goodbye today, but the other party is wearing a dark gold-rimmed Taoist uniform that only the head can wear, wearing a lotus crown, and the whole person looks much more serious.
Seeing Cangming and them, Huaiyu saluted and said goodbye, and then directly led them towards Feiyu Peak.
As they expected, a big thing did happen in the Taixuan Sect.
Mo Feiyu died.
"Master's return from the Valley of the Immortal consumed too much energy, and he originally planned to practice in retreat, but the seal in the forbidden land of the back mountain was touched again. At that time, the two immortals could not be contacted, so the master could only use the blood spell to press down the seal. But in this way, the master was also seriously injured, and the calamity did not catch up with the catastrophe alone. Master didn't get through ......"
Huaiyu couldn't say the rest of the words, but that long sigh was enough to make people understand what the unfinished words were trying to say.
"After the master left, just in case, the head of the sect and the rest of the elders decided to stay in the forbidden place. It is also because of this that the head of Mingguang has become the new head of Taixuanzong. The two immortals should also feel it, in recent years, demons have begun to appear in various places, and disciples have been sent down the mountain to suppress them on the three mountains and four walls, so they have not really caused a big impact. As the head of the Immortal Sect, the news of Master's death is really not suitable for spread under the current circumstances, so I discussed with the head of Mingguang and suppressed the news, and only said that Master was in retreat. ”
The death of an old friend is a sad thing in the first place. Whether it is Bai Zhi or Cangming, his expression at the moment is not good-looking.
After a long time, Cangming sighed: "It's a bit troublesome now......" He sat on the edge of the table, frowned when he heard the words, and habitually tapped his fingers on the table to make a dull sound. "Originally, I came here to ask Mo Feiyu to do me a favor. ”
Mo Feiyu's death was not only a big blow to Taixuanzong, but also a big deal for the entire Immortal Sect. Bai Zhi, who had been silent, spoke at this moment: "Although the news has not come out now, it is still necessary to inform the major sects to pay more attention. ......”
As he was talking, a male disciple outside suddenly came in a hurry, and said to Huai Yu in a bit of a panic: "Senior brother in charge, there is an accident at the mountain gate." ”
