"Shark oil?

Bai Xiaoyi looked at the arrogant wind with a blank face, but the fox demon Mei'er on the side opened her mouth and exclaimed:

"Shark oil! You say, this is a shark oil!"

Looking at the man and woman next to him who seemed to know what shark oil was, Bai Xiaoyi suddenly felt left out, he suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly:

"Hey, did you hear me, can anyone explain to me what this shark oil is!"

Glaring at the somewhat frantic young man, the fox demon girl said in an angry tone:

"Shark oil is corpse oil extracted from shark people...... Because it can be stored for thousands of years, it has been refined by your human race since ancient times and used as fuel for the ever-bright lamps in the tombs...... These shark oils...... It's all made after roasting the living mermaids to death...... It's an evil thing!"

Glancing at the angry girl with some embarrassment, Bai Xiaoyi wisely chose to shut up. And the arrogant wind on the side said nonchalantly:

"Little fox demon, don't kill all the good people with a stick. It is true that shark oil is refined by some people with evil magic, but not every human being is what you call a villain. In the ghost market, this kind of shark oil is not a rare thing. What's more, we don't know when this temple was built, and even if you want to lose your temper, go to the people who built it, what does it matter to us?"

glared at the sword-bearer boy viciously, and the fox demon girl muttered angrily:

"Anyway, it's all a good thing that you humans do, and it's not a good thing. ”

Too lazy to take care of this vexatious girl, Ao Cangfeng continued to add:

"Shark oil has a special nature, which can not only be stored for thousands of years, but also catch fire when encountered. And the most bizarre thing is that after the shark oil burns, it appears a dark blue fire, which has no temperature. At the same time, it can also release a large amount of yin qi, so it is most suitable for lighting in the tomb, but there are so many permanent lamps of shark oil arranged in this pagoda, there must be other special uses. ”

As he spoke, the young man with the sword hurriedly took out the fire fold he carried with him and lit a lotus platform. As soon as the small bamboo tube in his hand touched the lotus heart, the palm-sized lotus platform immediately rose with a dark blue flame.

At the same time, Ao Cangfeng commanded Bai Xiaoyi:

"Brother Bai, use your heavenly eye to see if there are any changes?"

Hearing the order of the sword-bearer boy, Bai Xiaoyi immediately closed his eyes and contemplated, and observed with his "heart eye" again. Sure enough, under the lit lantern, a yin qi the thickness of a little finger was converging along the veins like whiskers towards somewhere underground. After discovering this abnormality, the scoundrel boy shouted repeatedly:

"There is! There is! It's this thing, one light is not enough, keep going, it seems that the mechanism is driven by the change of yin qi. ”

After getting a definite answer, Ao Cangfeng and Hu Mei'er started together, and in a blink of an eye, they lit up all the twenty-seven everlasting lamps on the first floor. The faint blue glow of the dark fire was so strong that it actually suppressed all the golden light talismans that Bai Xiaoyi had arranged. But the three of them waited for a long time, but they didn't see any movement around.

After a slight hesitation, Bai Xiaoyi looked at the yin qi that kept pouring into the ground and said with some uncertainty:

"Isn't that enough? Why don't you go up and light up the second floor?"

Fox glanced at Bai Xiaoyi suspiciously, and Ao Cangfeng walked upstairs while arranging:

"In my opinion, if this is not the case, I will go to the second floor one by one, if there is any change, please tell us at any time?"

The young man with his eyes closed waved his hand impatiently, and urged in his mouth:

"Alright, alright, hurry up. ”

After waiting for a while, the cold voice of the arrogant wind came from above the second floor:

"The first one!"

After observing intently for a moment, Bai Xiaoyi responded loudly:

"Go on!"

That's it, when the arrogant wind on the second floor lit the ninth everlasting lamp.

Click!

Bai Xiaoyi and Mei'er, who were on the first floor, felt a strange noise coming from the ground at the same time.

"Wait!

The fox demon girl exclaimed in surprise.

After a while, the two people on the first floor suddenly heard the arrogant wind upstairs and hurriedly said as if they had discovered something:

"I'm going to go up and verify something, you wait a moment for me. ”

With that, the sound of a young man striding upstairs was heard.

Bai Xiaoyi and Mei'er waited downstairs for almost a cup of tea, but they ran down panting when they saw Ao Cangfeng. His face was full of excitement, and he said incoherently:

"I see! It's a god statue, and there is a number of everlasting lights on each floor!"

Bai Xiaoyi, who was confused after hearing this, opened his eyes and asked puzzledly:

"Proud of your surname, what are you talking about?

The choked arrogant wind who had nothing to say glanced at the young man angrily, took two deep breaths, and said calmly:

"So, have you noticed the idols on each floor of this pagoda?"

Suspiciously glanced at the clay statue not far away, Bai Xiaoyi and Mei'er nodded puzzled.

"What's wrong?

The fox demon girl looked dazed.

"Of course not!" the young man with the sword took a few steps forward, pointed to the statue on the pedestal, and said, "Don't you recognize it? This is not a Buddha statue, it is a star monarch." ”

"Xingjun?"

Bai Xiaoyi, who suddenly thought of something, suddenly realized:

"No wonder I always feel that something is wrong with these idols, I see!"

The scoundrel boy got up and walked up to the statue, looked up and down, and then said affirmatively:

"If you're not mistaken, this should be one of the 'Jidu Stars' of the Nine Bright Star Monarchs, so wouldn't the eight layers above be ......"

The arrogant wind on the side cast a sure look:

"That's right, it's the eight stars of 'Rahu', 'gold', 'water', 'earth', 'fire', 'wood', 'Taiyin' and 'sun', added together, it is a nine-star alignment!"

"Uncle, that's the case!"

Looking at the two teenagers chatting word by word, the confused fox Mei'er on the side shouted angrily:

"Hey, you two are enough! What are you talking about? I don't understand anything!"

Glancing at this brutal girl helplessly, Bai Xiaoyi said very perfunctorily:

"My little aunt and grandmother, these are all Taoist metaphysical things, you don't know it. Anyway, we know how to open this mechanism. ”

Pouting angrily, the fox demon girl thrust her waist and said:

"Okay, then you can tell me, how to open these levels?"

Pointing to the ever-bright lamp next to him, Ao Cangfeng said confidently:

"The key to this mechanism is the matching of this Star Monarch Statue with the number of lit lanterns. Brother Bai, do you remember the Nine Stars Monarch Lighting Lamp Diagram?"

After being reminded by Ao Cangfeng, Bai Xiaoyi's eyes lit up and said:

"Remember, there are 12 suns, 7 suns, 20 Jupiter, 15 Mars, 5 Saturn, 7 Mercury, 8 Venus, 9 Rahu, and 20 Jidu. ”

"That's right, next, I'll go with this little fox demon to light the lights layer by layer, you use the eye of the sky to observe on the first floor, if it's right, then there will definitely be a reaction below!"

After hearing the conversation between the two teenagers clearly, the fox demon girl reluctantly followed the arrogant wind to light the lamp. Bai Xiaoyi, who remained on the first floor, extinguished seven of the twenty-seven ever-bright lamps that had been lit before according to the number of burning lamps. Sure enough, he only waited for a moment before he felt a crunch on the ground beneath his feet.

The young man, who could already be sure of their speculation, hurriedly concentrated his energy and continued to observe with his unique "heart eye".

As the ever-bright lanterns on each floor of the nine-story pagoda were lit, along the surrounding walls, strips of yin qi like blood were surging towards the ground little by little along the tree-shaped veins.

Ao Cangfeng and Mei'er, who were in charge of lighting the lights, said hello downstairs every once in a while, and Bai Xiaoyi, who heard the abnormality at his feet, also shouted to tell the people above that everything was going well.

After the half-pillar of incense, the ever-bright lamps in the nine-story pagoda were lit one by one according to the number of Xingjun lighting lamps, and the floor under their feet also rang nine times.

Standing at the door of the hall with full vigilance, Bai Xiaoyi and the three of them stared intently at the changes in the ground on the first floor. After more than ten breaths had passed, there was a sudden creaking sound of gears turning from below the ground. Immediately afterwards, a circular pit collapsed on the originally empty ground on the first floor.

With a violent tremor, the collapse grew bigger and bigger, and in an instant, it expanded into a large hole more than two feet long. With the help of the faint blue flame on the lamp in the room, the three of them saw that above the hollow four walls, there was a circle of spiraling stairs leading to the bottom of the bottomless abyss.

Standing on the edge and hesitating for a long time, Bai Xiaoyi took out a golden light talisman and lit it, and then threw it out towards the hollow place in the big hole.

The golden rune paper fluttered towards the bottomless hollow, and the three people standing on the edge stared intently at every place where the light rune passed. With the help of golden light, they saw a scene that they would never forget.

Underneath the hollow was an upside-down nine-story pagoda. The staircase clinging to the wall spirals down to the lowest end of the inverted stupa. With the faint light, the three of them seemed to see a huge statue of the god standing at the bottom of the pit. And what surprised them the most was that when the golden light rune was irradiated, the four walls of the originally pitch-black hollow actually lit up with fist-sized points of light.

Those points of light were embedded in the stone wall, and they extended down the spiraling staircase to the lowest end of the inverted stupa, and after carefully counting them, they found that those light beads that they didn't know whether they were gems or anything were not more than ninety-nine eighty-one.

Looking at this spectacular scene in front of them, the three young people were shocked beyond measure. They stared at the deep void in amazement, speechless for a long time.
