Chapter 007: Puzzle Mechanism
"Smack!!"
Raising the tiger's claw, he turned the treasure box over and looked at it carefully.
The treasure box seems to be natural, without a trace of gaps, as if it was originally a whole piece, with neither locks nor switches, which is quite peculiar.
Suddenly-
Emperor Shakti vaguely guessed that the opening mechanism of this treasure box was only the puzzle on the top of the box, which in his previous life, he had heard people talk about it once, saying that in ancient times, there was a kind of mechanism called a puzzle mechanism, which is the kind of complete word divided into different parts, out of order put together, as long as the complete figure is spelled out, the mechanism can be opened.
Such a mechanism is quite rare. There is also a kind of puzzle that is similar to the puzzle, which is called the spelling mechanism, for example, putting a complete sentence together with some completely unrelated words, and also shuffling the order, allowing people to find the sentence, and combining it according to a certain law, both of which are extremely rare.
I looked at the treasure box silently for a while. Then he slowly looked away from the treasure box.
Look at a jade bottle next to the box.
The jade quality of this jade bottle was more perfect than most of the jade he had seen in his previous life, and the cave would be a little dark, and the jade bottle faintly glowed with a faint jade light in such an environment.
"Poof!!"
Opened the jade bottle, and suddenly, a strange medicinal fragrance emerged from the bottle, and Emperor Shakti took a breath into the bottle, and the medicinal fragrance entered the internal organs from the nose.
"Boom!!"
The demonic power in the body was excited like a sow in estrus, and quickly pounced on this medicinal fragrance, and in the blink of an eye, Emperor Shakti clearly felt that the demonic power in his body immediately became a little thicker after devouring the medicinal incense. Spirits lifted.
"What is in this bottle is the 'Gathering Elixir' that the mysterious woman said. ”
Emperor Shakti put the cap back on the bottle and shook it slightly, the elixir made a crisp sound in the bottle, just now he took a look, this bottle is not simple, it doesn't look big on the outside, but the thumb-sized elixir should have hundreds of pills in the bottle.
The tiger's eyes showed a trace of human surname, and he secretly pondered in his heart, and said secretly: The woman before is definitely not an ordinary person, she cares so much about the treasure box, and she wants to use the technique of cultivating the plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang, and hide the treasure box here with me, then this is definitely not an ordinary treasure. And this 'Gathering Spirit Pill', I haven't taken it yet, just a stream of medicinal fragrance emitted by the pill has increased the demonic power in my body a lot. Taking such an elixir for a long time will definitely greatly speed up my cultivation speed, and maybe, it can even condense the inner pill in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Emperor Shakti felt a little bitter in his heart.
If he wants to cultivate into a demon, it seems that there is still a long way off, he now has demon power, and he has also found a way to absorb the essence of the moon and swallow blood food to increase his demon power, but he really feels that he still lacks something very important. Something that has a vital relationship with cultivation.
Exercises!!
An exercise that will allow him to truly set foot in the world of cultivating immortals.
Yes, this is what Shakti craves most now.
In the previous life, there were many mythological stories in China, including some stories about the demon clan, such as the thousand-year-old snake demon Bai Suzhen in "The Legend of the White Snake", who practiced for more than a thousand years, but was restrained when he encountered a Fahai. A thousand years of Taoism is not comparable to one or two hundred years of practice.
There's no doubt about that-
It's a thing worth scrutinizing.
In this regard, the emperor also thought carefully about it, and if he wanted to say the reason. Without him-
One is that the demon clan is so blessed with different people, and its own spiritual intelligence is not as good as that of human beings, even if they are ignorant of some spiritual surnames, they know how to absorb the aura of heaven and earth in the outside world, and they will not be the same as people, and they will focus on this, which is unconscious absorption.
With such a cultivation posture, if you want to have strong demonic power, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, the demon clan is made of birds and beasts, grass and trees in the mountains and forests, and they are born and raised, and there is no way to get exercises suitable for cultivation. You can only practice according to instinct.
Just imagine, with such a practice, how can the demon clan be comparable to humans. People have good exercises, have good teachers, and then occupy the treasures of heaven and earth. According to the practice of practice, the demon clan can be reached in a few decades to practice for hundreds or even thousands of years. Such a gap. Let the demon clan completely turn into the object of the demon being killed by the immortal cultivator.
"It would be nice if there was a practice of practice. ”
Emperor Shakti thought to himself, but he also knew that it was just a good wish of his own.
"Click!!"
Throw out the unrealistic thoughts in your mind, look at the two treasures in front of you, needless to say, the treasure box must be a strange treasure, but, unfortunately, this treasure is put by the mysterious woman here, maybe it will be taken away at any time, but the 'Gathering Spirit Pill' belongs to him, and the pill inside is very precious. Helps to increase demonic power.
After pondering for a while, he walked to a remote corner of the cave, waved his tiger claws, and quickly dug up the ground, the ground was very hard, and it took great effort for Emperor Shakti to dig a large pit where the treasure box and the jade bottle could be lowered. Open your mouth and put two treasures into the pit, then fill in the excavated earth around it. After doing this, he thought about it and put a bearskin on top of it that he used to sleep. These cover up all traces.
Leave the cave.
He was hungry, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he was about to go down and the sunset was hanging in the sky.
After catching a few hares in the forest and eating enough, he returned to the cave, dug out the jade bottle containing the Gathering Spirit Pill, poured out a yellow Cancan, thumb-sized 'Gathering Spirit Pill', put the pill in a piece of animal fur, wrapped it, held it with his mouth, crossed the cave, and ran quickly towards the rocky mountain peak.
Coming to the mountain peak with ease, seeing the river rushing down, putting the fur wrapped in the elixir beside him, Emperor Shakti lowered his head and drank a few sips of river water in the river, looking at the sky, the sun had set, but the moon did not appear immediately, and he was not in a hurry, lying on the side of the stream, falling into contemplation.
What has happened in the past few days is too unbelievable, he has never seen it before, and while enriching his experience, he is even more frightened by what kind of world it will be outside the mountain. Especially the mysterious treasure box, which actually used thousands of pieces in the puzzle to use as the lock of the treasure box, to unlock it, this is an inhuman job.
However, from another point of view, locking the treasure box with such a trap lock shows that the contents of the treasure box must also be extraordinarily precious. If you get it, you might be in for a big surprise. There is also this bottle of elixir, he also wants to see what kind of changes this bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill can bring to him.
The moonlight is like water, crystal clear, sprinkled on the surface of the river, and with the flow of the stream, a layer of faint silver waves ripples on the water waves in a circle. Like the beautiful scales, it gives people a sense of relaxation.
"The moon is out. ”
Shakti was awakened by the sound of the water flowing around him, and when he saw the moonlight reflecting back from the water, he looked up and saw that the bright crescent moon once again showed her gentle side.
Without much thought, he raised his head, opened his mouth, and began to spit in the moon as he had done several times before. Every exhale and breathe can bring out a stream of air in front of you.
But the strange thing is that he can see the moonlight, but he can't accept the moonlight into his body, and he is constantly doing it, which is like useless work. Nothing worked.
This action continued for a long time, but it still had no effect, and there was a puzzled look in the emperor's eyes.
"What's going on? Last night, I was able to absorb the moon essence in the moonlight, and my demonic power did nearly double after one night, why did I have no effect today. ”
There was a hint of anxiety in the confusion. He didn't understand what was going on.
"Huh!!"
In his confusion, Shakti's eyes suddenly fell on the big rock not far away, and at this time, the big rock glowed with a silver halo under the moonlight, and the moonlight fell on the rock, as if it was directly sucked into the rock, and he also found a peculiarity, the moonlight on the rock was obviously much richer than in other places.
"Could it be because of the rock?"
Emperor Shakti was thoughtful, although he was reincarnated as a tiger, he also had the same keen wisdom as before, and with a slight pause in his mind, he realized that this rock might have something to do with the fact that he might have demonic power and absorb the essence of the moon.
When he first knew that the demon power appeared in his body, he just slept on this big rock for a night, and later, he couldn't absorb the moon essence in other places, but the second time he went up to the rock, he also absorbed the moon essence, which made the demon power in his body almost double.
If the absorption of the night essence has something to do with the location, the cave is at the bottom of the mountain, which does not need to be said, now he is already on the peak, but he still has not absorbed it, which means, perhaps, the height of the position is not too particular. The real mystery may lie in this rock.
Thinking of this, the Emperor's eyes flashed.
Holding the fur wrapped in the elixir beside him in his mouth, he got up and jumped onto the rock. Calm down.
I only felt that there was a magical power in the rock under him, which made him quickly enter a state of lightness, in this state of forgetting things and me, Emperor Shakti slowly had the feeling of that night again, and the things around him were presented in his mind, and in the wisps of moonlight, there were a little silver-white tiny points of light, and these points of light carried a trace of wonderful power.
"This is the essence of moonshine?"
Emperor Shakti understood in an instant what those points of light were, in his mouth and nose, he breathed naturally, and when he exhaled, all the pores around his body were closed, and when he inhaled, all the 108,000 pores of his body opened his mouth, and the surrounding moon essence was sucked into his body from the pores, and then, in the flow of demonic power, it quickly gathered, so that the demonic power that was only the thickness of a hair slowly grew.
