Xie Mingzhou was very curious, and when he looked closer, it seemed to be wine, but it smelled sweet and sour, and it smelled very good.

Just wanted to ask for a drink, the monkey had already raised his head and drank it all, Xie Mingzhou compared and draw, and wanted to ask it to get some more, but the monkey only shook his head and refused, and finally took out a handful of golden corn kernels to lure it, and then it nodded and left.

Xie Mingzhou was curious, so he quietly followed behind, the monkey jumped very fast in front, and in a blink of an eye he had turned over this mountain recess, crossed a small hill, and came to a cliff, followed the stone crevice and vine, climbed to half of the wall, disappeared, and it was estimated that there was a cave there.

Since he already knew the place, he also turned back to the mountain reavement first, and after a while, the monkey came back, filled with a "stone bowl" of wine, Xie Mingzhou gave corn, took it and drank it, it was really wine, but it was a little sweet and sour, and a little spicy, the wine was not heavy, and it was very delicious.

He was going to take a look later, not because he wanted to steal the wine, but because he was curious about who made the wine and put it in this deep mountain and old forest.

Wait until all the monkeys are scattered, Xie Mingzhou slipped to the cliff, up to the waist, there is indeed a cave, go in to see, you see a big stone nest next to the cave wall, which is full of wild peaches, mountain plows, August melons and other wild fruits, two stone cracks on the stone wall, is to the stone nest in the water.

He took out a bamboo tube filled with water and filled two cylinders, and was about to leave, but suddenly thought: There are so many stone crevices in this cave, why are there only two water on this stone nest? Could it be that someone did it on purpose?

Thinking of this, his mind moved, and he looked around in the stone cave, it was really strange, and the rest of the places were normal, only the stone wall of the water, after the divine thought went into it for more than two zhang, it could no longer spread.

He retracted his divine thoughts, sacrificed the primordial gods, and found that in the stones farther ahead, there was a huge, crystalline jade skeleton embedded in them! And emitted a brilliant majesty, so far away, and there were more than ten zhang thick stones to block, but it still made Xie Mingzhou's primordial gods almost want to prostrate on the ground and worship!

This was beyond the limits of his imagination, if the skeleton was a human skeleton, then what kind of person was it? It could be more than two feet tall, and the bones were the same as jade.

And how did it come into this mountain stone? If it wasn't a human corpse, then what was the kind of coercion it emitted? Xie Mingzhou was shocked, and the primordial spirit returned to his place and sat on the ground in a daze.

After thinking about it for a long time and getting no results, there was one more question, this skeleton can make the Yuan Shen so fearful from such a distance, why is there no sense in this cave?

Xie Mingzhou racked his brains and came up with two methods, one was to try his best to get close to the Yuan Shen and then inspect it in detail, and the other was to go over to inspect it himself. He sacrificed the primordial god first and tried to go in the direction of the skeleton, but found that the primordial god was more mellow than before, and it seemed that the pressure of the skeleton had stimulated its growth.

But when I got to the place where I was trembling just now, it was still difficult to get in. Then now the only way to try the second method is to try again.

He didn't want to destroy the stone that produced fine wine, so he took out the saber of the original Tartar and stabbed it into the stone wall with enough true qi, but it was not as strong as he imagined, and he actually pierced it nearly a foot deep. Draw another circle, dig and pick, and a stone will jump down.

In order to prevent the monkeys from making trouble when they came to fetch wine, Xie Mingzhou blocked the entrance of the cave with a stone, because the Yuan Shen has gradually mellowed recently, his eyes seem to have improved, and he can basically see in the dark, so he didn't even take out the night pearl he got from Liu Daozhen, and began a long dark mining career.

This action of using his true qi to dig stones with all his strength was extremely consuming his true qi, and he had to meditate and recover every two feet or so he dug up, which made his true qi more and more refined, and the Gu worm still couldn't move.

When digging to about three zhang, Xie Mingzhou felt the pressure, this is a kind of comprehensive crushing from the spirit to the body, as if a mountain is about to collapse in front of him, and he wants to bury himself deep in the center of the earth. He tried his best to use his primordial spirit, mind, and true qi, but all of a sudden, he would feel his hands and feet go limp.

But he still kept digging forward, and whenever he really couldn't support it, he would stop and use his spirit and mind to resist this pressure, which was actually a kind of ascetic practice.

On the third day, when he dug to about five zhang, there was a situation, his first saber was broken when he stabbed into it, although he still had three sabers, but there were still several zhang distance to the skeleton, no one dared to guarantee that there would be no situation in the future, if the saber was all used up, he had to use the sword left by the master, which was something he did not want to do.

Xie Mingzhou endured the fear from the depths of his soul, and sacrificed the Yuan Shen, but as soon as he touched it, the Yuan Shen returned to the mud pill like lightning, he immediately took a few steps back, sat on the ground and exercised pranayama, and it took him a long time to recover, feeling a little hungry, so he ate a little more food.

At this time, he figured out why there was no pressure in the cave, it was this thing that was fighting against the skeleton, so the coercion could not spread, and just now he Yuan Shen approached to check, but he was only affected a little, like being struck by lightning, which is unimaginable.

He tried to release his divine thoughts, but he didn't expect that this time the divine thoughts spread out smoothly, this turned out to be a long knife more than a zhang long, one foot wide, the blade and the back of the knife are straight, there is no curvature, and the front end is obliquely sharp. Could it be that because this is a dead thing, it has no effect on divine thoughts? Thinking of this, his divine thoughts moved, and sure enough, this long knife appeared in the Qiankun jade pendant

。 As soon as he put away his long knife, a majestic pressure swept over him like a big wave, and he hurriedly retreated, until he retreated into the cave, where he could barely resist it.

After collecting the long knife, Xie Mingzhou was more confident, as long as he entered the range that the divine thought could cover, he could take away the skeleton first, and then slowly refer to it later.

As he did at the beginning, he walked to a place where he could not resist before he sat down to resist, and when he felt a little relaxed, he moved forward and dug stones, and then sat down again...... In this way, step by step, I slowly moved closer to the skeleton.

One day, two days, three days, seven days have passed, and there is still a foot away from the jade skeleton, the closer it gets, the slower it gets, and at this time, Xie Mingzhou's spirit, mind and body have been tempered like never before.

And this last step is like a moat, but he has already let it go, even if he only advances an inch a day, he has to persevere.
