Chapter Eighty-Six: The Second Secret Box
Coated wounds on several critical wounds, stopped the bleeding, and ate two more dried meats, Xu Mo gritted his teeth and stood up with the knife with difficulty, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had recovered a little strength now, and walked inside, away from the white gas outside, and now he still felt that the stones under his feet and behind him were getting colder and colder, and it was also related to the white gas outside, in this case, it was naturally better to go inside.
Then, seeing that the glowing stone was not in any danger, he also picked it up and put it in the book basket behind him.
Now the book basket is still a very big burden for him, and he has the opportunity to throw it away, but it not only contains medicine, food and other necessities of life, as long as he can't really carry it, he feels that it is better to carry it with him.
For example, now, after bypassing the stone statue, the further inside it becomes, the darker it becomes, so he took out a small book box from the book basket, opened it and stuffed it with cotton, wrapped a piece of orange-sized thing in black in the middle, lifted the black cloth, took out an object, and suddenly shone a light of about two meters in front of his eyes, which was the otherworldly "flashlight" he made of moon stones, crystals, and mirrors.
The core part of this flashlight is the soybean-sized moon stone in the middle, it can emit light about the same brightness as the moon, it is the best lighting object at night, and it can also absorb moonlight to supplement itself, almost unlimited use, the only drawback is that it is less and expensive - not ordinary expensive, the one in his hand cost him nearly eight hundred taels of silver, and the number is not much, the range he can touch, even the wealthy Baihuaxuan has not seen it used.
Of course, this situation is also related to his low practicality, you know, there are a lot of things that are lit at night, even in the wild, it is not difficult to make a fire, and there are things like night pearls, although their brightness is poor, but they are relatively cheap.
Xu Mo bought it, more to prepare, fortunately, with the experience of his previous life, he knew how to use the minimum cost to play the greatest role, and at this time it came in handy.
With the light, he can see the road clearly, and he can find out the danger one step earlier, of course, he must hope that there is nothing in front of him, he just hopes to find a relatively safe place to heal, let him hold out until tomorrow morning, and then leave this ghost place - since he didn't have those white gases when he came, it means that those white gases should not exist in the morning.
But as soon as he took two steps, he saw a row of different stones on the cave walls on both sides of his feet, and the material looked very similar to the ones he had dug up below just now.
Looking back, it almost continued to the entrance of the cave.
He was annoyed and worried about their connection to the stone statues, but now that the place was too close to the entrance of the cave, it would get colder and colder as time went on, and he was in dire need of healing, so he had to be careful and move slowly.
This brought great pressure to his body and mind, until he saw the formation pattern on a stone block that fluttered and twisted like silk threads in the wind, and suddenly he felt a sense of déjà vu, and then suddenly remembered that it was very similar to the formation pattern on the stone he saw at the bottom of the valley when the black wind was fading!
After a few more careful glances, he became more and more sure of this judgment, and then he reacted that the wind blowing out here may not be the reason for the passage behind, but related to the magic circle composed of these formations.
Thinking that the wind in the valley below does not stop, the white gas will not spread over, and the wind here also blows all the time, and can blow the white gas away, the situation on both sides is almost the same, the difference is only the size.
In other words, there is a complete magic circle under the Black Wind Canyon here!
With this discovery, Xu Mo was both excited and worried, but with the current situation, it was useless to think too much, so he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and continued to move forward worriedly.
I walked more than ten meters inside without danger, and when I came to the end, a door appeared in front of me.
The door is made of some kind of wood, with no obvious smell, and there are air-dried cracks on the surface, which are obviously not treated.
If he could, he would rather rest outside the door to heal his injuries, because at this depth, the chill transmitted by the white qi through the mountain stones had little effect here, but in addition to them, the non-stop wind formed by the magic circle under his feet would also continue to take away the heat from his body, coupled with his current physical condition, it was not impossible to blow half of his body......
Sighing slightly, he concentrated, looked at the wooden door from beginning to end, found no abnormality, and visualized the mirage map, and found no danger, then he turned the woodcutter upside down, knocked on the door with the handle of the knife, and said, "May I ask anyone?"
There was a hollow sound coming from the wooden door, indicating that there was a lot of space behind it, and in his perception, there seemed to be no living creatures outside the door.
After knocking twice more, he held his breath and pushed lightly, and the wooden door was a little heavy at first, and with a little force, it was unexpectedly lightly pushed open.
As soon as the door opened, a cluster of almost dazzling light suddenly came out, Xu Mo subconsciously squinted, only to see that behind the door was a pot-bellied stone room with a shallow left and a deep right, and the stone room was illuminated by the moon stone embedded in the wall!
He glanced at it in a hurry, and saw that there was nothing inside except for a simple stone table directly opposite, and then he couldn't help but glance at the moon stone on the wall.
Based on the brightness of the moon stone on the opposite wall that he could see, he speculated that there was probably one on each of the three inner walls, and the one that could be seen by the eye was not only the size of a yellow apricot, but also placed on a green gem engraved with a formation that circled inward.
"Anyone?"
He knocked on the door again and asked, but there was no reaction from inside except for the dust that had been raised when he opened the door, and there was a dead silence.
"I'm in a hurry to heal, please forgive me for being offended and offended!"
At present, it looks like no one has been here for a long time, but whether there is anyone or not, he is now anxious to heal and recuperate, and after leaving a word, he patiently put on the protective equipment he made and walked in.
After walking in, he found that there was indeed only a simple stone table in the stone room, so he took the door, cheered up and inspected it again, found the innermost corner and sat down, put down the book basket and protective equipment, blocked in front of him, and stuffed a "Hundred Flowers Heart Pill" into his mouth, and then quickly practiced "Stealing the Heavenly Formula" to treat his injuries.
"Stealing the Heavenly Formula" is indeed very good at healing, and soon after cultivating, he felt that the pain everywhere became clear from chaos, and then he sank into cultivation.
Time passed minute by minute, and under the light of the moon stone, Xu Mo's frowning brows from pain gradually relaxed.
The brightness in the stone room has always been the same, and the wind formed by the magic circle outside the door is also of the same frequency, slowly, time seems to have stopped flowing, but a small stone room naturally cannot be compared with heaven and earth, Xu Mo's cultivation has almost not been affected, and when it comes to the time of the child, the vitality of heaven and earth is agitated and calm, Xu Mo at this time feels like he has become an empty container, and then the vitality of heaven and earth passes through the top of his head like a very light smoke and rain, condenses into liquid at the mud pill palace, and then descends like falling from a building.
However, this time there has been a change, the original heaven and earth vitality condensed into the medicine is colorless, shapeless and tasteless, but this time, the condensed medicine has a cold breath, so at the moment of falling, Xu Mo was excited, only to feel that his brain seemed to be penetrated by ice water, stimulating but exceptionally clear, and he almost woke up from his cultivation state in an instant.
After coming to his senses, he quickly checked his body, but found that there was nothing unusual except for his clear mind, but the pain in the injured part was significantly reduced, and at this rate, he felt that he would almost be healed in another three or four days.
However, he decided to leave the place as soon as the aura was gone, so as not to collide with the owner who might return—this place was so hidden that its owner did not want it to leak out, and if he did, he would probably not be able to heal.
Since he decided to leave tomorrow, he naturally didn't want to miss the formation outside, and his spirit was exceptionally good at this time, so he took a pen and paper and a flashlight and pushed the door and walked out.
In order not to waste time, he first drew them all, thought about them, visualized the mirages again, and wrote down the way they worked, but unfortunately, without the basis of the formation, he had limited what he could get, so he had to keep them firmly in his heart.
In fact, if it had been placed in the past, because the use of the mirage would have lost the source of life, he would never have used it easily, but this encounter made him change his opinion - the mirage is his biggest reliance, it is obviously extraordinary, it is stupid to let it go, he should continue to develop it, even if it will lose the source of life, but isn't there still "Stealing the Heavens"? Cultivating the "Stealing the Heavens" may trigger the curse of cultivating immortals, but just like this time, without that ethereal curse, it will kill him when he encounters danger!
As for whether this incident was brought about by the curse of cultivating immortals, it would be too far-fetched, and he watched "Zhou Yi" in his previous life, Ji was stingy and repentant, only Ji is good, and he is simply to blame, but if he doesn't move, he can only be exploited to death in Baicaoju, can this work?
These thoughts flashed through him, and then he checked the drawings one last time, and then hurried back to the stone chamber, where there was a cloud of white gas outside, and the stone walls on both sides of the cave were as cold as ice.
Back in the stone room, it took him a while to warm up, originally he planned to continue to practice the "Heaven Stealing Technique", and saw the formation pattern on the moon stone gem, which naturally did not miss the reason.
Since the height of the moon stone was about a foot above his head, in order to facilitate observation and recording, he simply used the stone table, and there was a moon stone lamp above it.
After recording it, he quickly took his clothes and wiped them clean, only to find an inkstone under the stone table, and next to it was a pen placed on a biscuit-sized rectangular stone that served as a pen holder.
Xu Mo glanced down a few times, and after wiping the table, he sat back in his place and continued to practice the "Secret of Stealing Heaven".
I don't know why, today's brain is exceptionally awake and active, and his mind always comes to the stone where the pen is placed, and he is always distracted after practicing for a while, and then he stops and eats a few pieces of dry food and jerky, and then can't help but look at it again, and when he turns back and walks back, he is shocked in his heart, and suddenly understands why he keeps thinking about it: its shape and the feeling it gives him are very similar to the secret box of the Wang family, but it is just a few times smaller!
Would you like to take a look?
He suddenly thought that the secret box was essentially a change brought about by the space magic circle, and since it was a magic circle, could it be observed through the ability of the mirage?
But isn't it okay to move things casually?
In case you run into ......
If you do, you might be able to use the secret box as a bargaining chip!
The thought was still swirling in his mind, and his man had already stood back in front of the stone table, and with a single pick of his woodcutter, he brought the small stone to his eyes—it was not actually a stone, but obviously metal from the touch and weight.
Then, a picture of the Starry Sky Divine Mountain appeared in his mind, and a pattern that resembled a curved beehive composed of countless secret formations slowly appeared in his eyes!
It's really a secret box!
Is this the space circle of the secret box?
I'm just looking!
Xu Mo secretly reminded himself.
