Chapter 170: Empty Hands

Under the moonlight as white as frost, facing the dilapidated Taoist temple in front of him, Yu Tianlai's face showed joy.

The influence of the "Yellow Bud Temple" has been imprinted in his mind with a good trace, although the Taoist Temple in front of him is broken, some details of the building can still be recognized, and it can be determined that it is the "Yellow Bud Temple" undoubtedly.

Yu Tianlai walked through the main gate with only half of the leaky door panel left, and entered the main hall that had been roofed. A beam of moonlight shines into the hall through the broken roof of the hall, although it is not very bright, but with Yu Tianlai's eyesight, it is enough to see the end of the autumn clearly.

The front of the main hall enshrines a statue of the god of the bull-riding king, but it has long been mottled, and the mud tire is exposed in many places and an arm is broken. Through the images in his memory, Yu Tianlai already knew that the entrance to the underground palace under the Taoist temple was under this statue. Now that he has entered the Daomen, he naturally has to follow the customs of the villagers, and immediately bow to the very miserable Dao Ancestor to apologize.

After apologizing, Yu Tianlai bypassed the dusty incense case and came to the front of the statue, half-leaning over to observe carefully, and sure enough, he saw a dented gossip mark on the side of the base of the statue.

He took out the ancient mirror from his bosom and pressed it into the mark, and it was actually tightly sealed. The palm of the hand firmly adsorbed the ancient mirror, first tried to rotate to the left, the ancient mirror did not move, and then rotated to the right, and sure enough, it was able to rotate, and it rotated for three consecutive weeks before making a soft "click" sound and then stopped.

Yu Tianlai took a few steps back, and suddenly heard a soft sound of "zaza" from the ground, and the statue in front of him slowly moved to the side, and a three-foot square black pitch hole appeared below.

He knew that this underground palace had a complete ventilation system, so he went to the entrance of the cave and inhaled a little air gushing out of the ground, feeling that the dust in it was quite heavy, but it was not the kind of turbid gas in the long-term sealed environment, which showed that the ventilation system was still functioning, and he could enter the underground palace with confidence.

Yu Tianlai took out a delicate fire fold from his arms, lit it, held it in his hand, and walked down the stairs at the entrance of the cave.

The stairs were extremely long, and when he walked to the bottom, Yu Tianlai estimated that he was already more than ten zhang deep underground. At the end of the staircase is a passage about twenty steps long, and at the end of the corridor are two closed stone doors.

Yu Tianlai pushed out his right palm in the air, and the palm emitted a thick and soft force, pushing the two stone doors apart left and right.

There was only one crack in the stone door, and there was light inside. By the time the stone door opened, the entire passage was as bright as day.

Yu Tianlai extinguished the fire and walked into the stone door, but saw that there was a hall with a length and width of more than 20 zhang. There are more than ten oil lamps on the walls of the hall on all sides, and I don't know what kind of lamp oil and wick are burned inside, but they have been bright for hundreds of years.

The hall was empty, with nothing but a long stone table in the center and more than a dozen stone drums placed in turn on the side of the table, and there was only one portal on the wall where Yu Tianlai entered, and three smaller portals on each of the other three sides.

Yu Tianlai has understood the structure of this underground palace, and immediately walked to a portal in the middle of the opposite side, raised his hand to push the stone door open, and a stone room with five zhang square inside was revealed. In the middle of the room is a huge Dan furnace that is one person high. The Dan furnace seems to be cast in bronze, with three legs and two ears, simple and unpretentious. On one side of the stone chamber against the wall, there is a long stone table, on which is a lonely jade bottle the size of a baby's fist.

Yu Tianlai's figure flashed to the front of the long case, picked up the jade bottle with a little excitement, shook it lightly in his hand, and felt that something was rolling gently, and his face was overjoyed.

According to Cang Song, what Wei Boyang left behind was a bottle of "Yun Shen Pill", which was used by cultivators to cultivate spiritual power and strengthen the Yuan Shen. For Yu Tianlai, this Dan is just the timely rain, which can save more than ten years of effort to collect the qi of the Xuan Ling, and enter the inner scene in the fastest time.

After putting away the jade bottle with great care, Yu Tianlai removed this Dan room and entered another adjacent stone room. This stone room was opened up by the owner as a study, and many ancient books such as bamboo slips, silk scrolls, and animal skins were placed on several rows of bookshelves. He flipped through it casually and saw that they were all Taoist scriptures and Danshu, and many of them were out-of-print treasures that had been lost in later generations and even in contemporary times.

In the innermost compartment of the bookshelf, Yu Tianlai found a stone box with a length and a half feet, and a wide and narrow ruler, and the box was engraved with three seal characters of "Dragon and Tiger Sutra". He played with it a little and pushed the top of the stone box aside, only to see a simple book made of white jade and gold thread stacked inside. When I picked it up with my hand, I felt that my hand was warm, and it was obvious that the texture of the white jade was extraordinary.

Unfold the jade slip to watch, and see that there are lines of seal characters engraved on it, which are only more than 3,000 words from beginning to end, including three Dan prescriptions of "Difan", "Yunshen" and "Absolute Yin" and a "Dragon and Tiger Mixed Yuan Jue" Qi Cultivation Method. With his memory, he had memorized every word after a few moments of skimming.

After pocketing the two most important treasures in the entire underground palace, Yu Tianlai inspected the other stone chambers one by one. Most of these stone chambers are storehouses for storing all kinds of things needed for alchemy. Wei Boyang's elixir has been practiced, and people don't know if they have really become immortals and have disappeared, and these materials have already been consumed, and some of the remaining leftovers are really not of much value after hundreds of years.

With a little disappointment from the last stone room empty-handed, Yu Tianlai suddenly smiled dumbly, secretly laughing at himself for being a little greedy and insufficient. He took one last look at the dungeon, turned around and walked out of the stone gate, followed the steps to the Taoist temple above, and then restored the idol to cover the entrance to the cave.

Out of the gate of the Taoist Temple, he looked up at the bright moon in the air and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about how to maximize the use of this harvest, and the five senses, which were much more sensitive than ordinary people, suddenly caught a trace of strangeness, and raised his right hand without thinking, and with a wave of his right hand, a thin silver light flew up from his sleeve, slashing towards the void on his side with an incomparably sharp sword aura, just stopping a sword light that appeared out of thin air and wiped the side of his neck.

A faint figure appeared from the void, leaned down and disappeared as if retreating, at the same time, Yu Tianlai only felt that his left hand was empty, and the stone box in his hand had been taken away!

Yu Tianlai was furious, and the three-foot-long slender steel wire used as a long sword in his hand successively evolved the fierce killing moves in the "Four-phase Sword Technique", and the sword qi that was as thin as a silk thread but was incomparably sharp flew vertically and horizontally, intertwining into an invisible net in the air, still attacking a no-man's void.

A figure appeared out of thin air with a piercing sword light, and then rose into the sky. Wherever the incandescent sword rays went, Yu Tianlai's sword qi shattered one after another, and the sword qi net was torn open by a huge crack. The figure came out of this crack, let out a long laugh, and said loudly: "Boy, if you hurt my junior brother's palm, I will only return you with a sword." It's your ability to take this sword, and I won't attack you again, just take one treasure from you and it's all right!"

The voice was still echoing in place, and the figure had escaped more than a hundred feet away, and the speed of the body method had really reached an unimaginable realm.
