Chapter 175: Ghost Thing
Along the way, Gongsun Luyi also told him about the situation of this spiritual jade mine, this spiritual jade mine, currently composed of two casual cultivators who have cultivated to the fifth layer of the Nine Forging and four monks from small families who have just reached the third layer of the Nine Forging, are responsible for daily mining, and the place where Chen Yun and the others live and cultivate every day is in a mountain gorge about five or six miles away from the spiritual jade mine.
Gongsun Luyi first took Chen Yun and Mu Yuchen to fly towards the Lingyu mine, which was excavated from the foot of an extremely steep mountain, and was almost three or four miles deep at present.
When Chen Yun and the others came to the entrance of the mountain peak spirit jade mine, a person flashed out of the door, this person's face was slightly dark, and he looked like he was about twenty-five or sixteen.
As soon as this person saw Gongsun Luyi, he immediately bowed down and said, "I don't know that the Gongsun Fairy of Taiyi Sword Garden has arrived, Kaiwa has missed the distance, please forgive me!"
Chen Yun saw that this person was about nine forging and five layers of cultivation, although he did not have an outstanding temperament, he could be careful in his words and humble in his actions, so he couldn't help but nod slightly, thinking to himself, this kind of person should be able to rest assured that he should be able to do things.
"These are all my fellow disciples and sisters, they are here for the first time today, and they want to follow me to the well to have a look, you can lead the way!" Gongsun Luyi said lightly.
Compared to these scattered cultivators, the disciples of Taiyi Sword Yuan definitely have a lot of status and status.
This Kaiwa, because he is usually serious and responsible, has been appointed as the person in charge of the daily mining affairs of this spiritual jade mine
Under the leadership of Kaiwa, Chen Yun and the others looked back and forth in this mine shaft three or four miles underground, except for a few Nine Forging Monks who were mining. There is nothing else special. Those Nine Forging Monks saw Gongsun Luyi and Chen Yun and others passing by. Under Kaiva's introduction, things also stopped. and Chen Yun and others one by one.
Xu Zhu saw that the eyes of those Nine Forging Cultivators looking at him and the others always had a strange feeling. There was some excitement and panic in his eyes, and Chen Yun couldn't understand what this vision meant for a while.
In this spiritual jade mine, the light gets darker the more it is facing inside, and those monks who are mining use special jade that emits a faint halo as lighting, but the light is still very weak.
Chen Yun followed the cave as he went deeper. It was found that the mined spiritual jade mine was generally about three or four zhang wide and narrow, and it was basically narrow except for a few places, but there were also a few places, with a wide space of about twenty zhang square, according to Nakaiwa, these places were for stacking the mined spiritual jade. And those places where there is no polished spirit jade ore.
About a pillar of incense later, under the leadership of Kaiwa, several people galloped out of the mine.
After a while, he came out of the hole. At the entrance of the cave, Gongsun Green, seeing that Nakaiwa's face was a little pensive. As if he had something to say, he said, "Kaiwa Daoyou." When Senior Brother Tianyang and I came ahead, I saw that you seemed to have something to say. But if you want to talk again, if you have something to say now, you might as well say it directly, the task of the five of us in the next three years is to be optimistic about this place Lingyu mine. ”
Na Kaiwa glanced at Gongsun Luyi and Chen Yun and the others, his expression looked as if he had made a great determination, and seeing that except for Gongsun Luyi, the rest of the people also looked at him with some doubts, so he said: "Gongsun Fairy, I don't hide it, I do have something to say, but I don't know how to say it, we are all monks, I am worried, if I say something or I tell my speculation, you will laugh at me and say that I am talking nonsense." ”
"Kaidaoyou, talk quickly, we won't laugh at you!"
Mu Yuchen saw that Nakaiwa was talking and stopped, as if he had some secrets, his surprise suddenly rose, and he hurriedly urged.
"This month, we have been mining the spirit jade mine in this mine, and we have encountered some strange things, except for myself, the rest of the Nine Forging Daoists have also encountered a few times. Kewa said.
"What kind of strange thing, let's hear about it!" Chen Yun couldn't help but ask.
"I think you also know that when we mine spirit jade here, we generally have to accumulate a certain amount of polishing and polishing each time, and then we will call you to count and deliver it every month, but before delivery, we generally store the polished spirit jade and unpolished spirit jade ore in the mine, and generally pile it in an open place in the well, and then use a simple formation to protect it. Nakaiwa said unhurriedly.
"Why don't you use a small Qiankun bag to pack the spirit jade and spirit jade ore, or after mining at night, you can directly take these spirit jade to your resting place, why do you pile them up in the spirit jade mine, isn't it unsafe!" Zhang Wen found the question in Kaiwa's words and asked in surprise.
"This fellow Daoist just came, I don't know, our monks on the front line of mining are not allowed to bring any space magic weapons and some large utensils when entering the mine, and the spirit jade and ore mined every day can only be stacked in the mine, and the spirit jade is stacked, within a month, each time is not much, and there are small formations to guard, so nothing has ever happened. ”
Kaiva's words made Zhang Wen understand a little that it was indeed a difficult thing to 'embezzle' some spiritual jade in this Yeyu Mountain Range.
"The strange thing I said is that in the past month, before we went out of the mine at night, we had piled up the polished spirit jade and the spirit jade ore that had time to be polished in the future, but when we came in the morning, we often found that the polished spirit jade and the unpolished spirit jade were often mixed together. I didn't encounter this twice, and the rest of the Nine Forging Monks also encountered it a few times when they were on duty. ”
After Nakaiwa finished speaking, several people, including Chen Yun, frowned slightly and began to think.
"It must be night, after you left, the beasts in the mountains and the like came to wreak havoc!" Mu Yuchen was the first to put forward his own opinion.
"Whether it is the spiritual jade mine or the place where the spiritual jade is stacked, we have set up a small formation to protect it, and the formation at the wellhead is not small, even the monks of the ninth layer of the Nine Forging Realm are not easy to penetrate, and we haven't seen the formation at the entrance of the cave destroyed this month!"
"Some of you want to fish in troubled waters, deliberately mess up the stacking of spirit jade, and then steal spirit jade from it!" Zhang Wen said.
"Where the spiritual jade mine is stacked in the well, there is a 'mirror stone' with a recorded image. Basically, after the final stack of spirit jade and spirit jade ore every day, anyone's actions. It's all recorded in the 'Mirror Stone', and I've seen the 'Mirror Stone' record. No one had touched the jade at night. ”
"In the 'Mirror Stone', apart from your daily stacking of spirit jade, there is no other movement? For example, other abnormal movements?" Gongsun said as his beautiful eyes flashed as he looked at Kaiwa.
"I did see a change in the 'Mirror Stone', but I'm afraid that you won't believe it, so I have been trying to confirm it a few more times before reporting it to the top, but since Gongsun Fairy asked. I'll just say it. I saw from the mirror stone that every time the spirit jade was messed up, in the mirror stone that night, it was as if a seemingly invisible hand appeared, deliberately messing up the two piles of spirit jade that were clearly stacked!"
"Invisible hand, has that spirit jade ever decreased after each mess?" Chen Yun asked in surprise.
"Yes, I can't describe what I saw in the 'Mirror Stone', I can only describe it with an invisible hand. You know, we, the monks, are deaf and clear-sighted, even if there is a slight light. The surrounding situation can also be seen clearly, but in the mirror stone, I can see the movement of the spirit jade. But he saw nothing else. And every time the spirit jade is messed up, there are also a lot of them. It's not strange when you say it's strange. To be honest, the monks who take turns on duty during this time. Every time I come to mine the spirit jade mine, I am a little frightened. Kewa said.
And after this Kaiwa finished speaking, Chen Yun and the others were silent for a while, but soon Gongsun Luyi asked again: "Then Kaiwa Daoyou, in your opinion, what is going on?"
"After discussing with the rest of the monks, I came to a conclusion, that is, there are ghosts in this spiritual jade mine cave!" Kaiwa looked at Chen Yun and the others, and said hesitantly.
"Then why just mess up the stacking of spirit jade every time and not attack you?" Chen Yun asked suspiciously.
"When I was not cultivating, I heard that there is a kind of evil ghost in this world called 'evil ghost', who likes to trick others before harming people, so that the people who are being tricked will be afraid and tremble, and when the time comes, this evil ghost will entangle himself and harm people's lives!" replied Kaiwa.
"Kai Daoyou, bring the 'mirror stone' placed in this cave by Taiyi Sword Garden and give us a look, so that we can determine whether there is any other possibility of what you just said!" Gongsun Luyi said lightly when he saw that Kaiwa was talking more and more.
Nakaiwa said 'Wait a minute' to Gongsun Luyi and Chen Yun and others, and then dodged and galloped into the Lingyu Mine Cave, half a pillar of incense time, then rushed back, and handed a slightly purple-black fist-sized jade to Gongsun Greenyi, who took the 'Mirror Stone' and wrapped it with his spiritual sense, and after a few breaths, he frowned, took back his spiritual sense, and then handed this 'Mirror Stone' to Mu Yuchen, who couldn't hold it back in his amazed heart, so quickly, several people, including Chen Yun, used their spiritual sense to understand the strange situation in the 'Mirror Stone'.
Chen Yun also investigated very carefully, the 'mirror stone' is a very special jade slip, generally cultivated to a high level of monks, engraved on it can be used for about a year, each time can be used for about a year, and then re-engraved the formation, the best thing is that the image it enters, when people browse, can be accelerated by the strength of people's divine sense.
Chen Yun was already a little surprised by what Chen Zhiyuan said about the 'Ghost Howling Mountain Range', plus maybe one day when his cultivation was enough, he would inevitably go to the small Five Elements Mountain in the depths of the 'Ghost Howling Mountain Range' to get Qi Yunzi's 'Purple Jade Heavenly Dragon Armor', so he still had some eagerness to care about the 'ghost'.
But Chen Yun in that 'mirror stone', except for a few times, the spirit jade that was piled up into two pushes, and was made flying all over the sky by an inexplicable force, he didn't see anyone or beast appear, the spirit jade and the unpolished spirit jade ore, the number is not small, in the open area in the dark mine, was blown up by a whirlwind born from the flat ground, and in less than a few breaths, the originally neatly placed spirit jade became a mess, and the inexplicable whirlwind disappeared.
After Chen Yun and the others finished reading it separately, Gongsun Luyi glanced at a few people calmly with his eyes, and then said with a smile: "A few junior brothers and sisters, what do you think?"
Zhang Wen, who has been scrambling to speak, did not speak this time, Zhang Wen is not small, but he has an inexplicable fear of the kind of things that cannot be seen or touched, and the 'ghost' makes him even more frightened.
Mu Yuchen glanced at Zhang Wen, Chen Yun and the others, feeling a little bold as an artist, and said casually: "Look at this situation." It really seems that something is playing tricks at night, Senior Sister Gongsun. We might as well arrest this wretched thing. You look good!"
"Then how do you catch it?" Zhang Wen asked with some suspicion as he looked at Mu Yuchen's arrogant appearance.
"A few of us take turns to be on duty at night, whoever touches that strange thing will catch it, how about it?" Mu Yuchen said in a sweet voice, with a little excitement in it.
"No, I resolutely oppose it, what if there is more than one ghost thing in this spirit jade mine? And in such a dark place, if there is such a ghost thing, there must be more than one of them alone. It doesn't have to be one, I'm sure!" Zhang Wen said loudly, sweating in his palms.
Just kidding, if I was on duty, I encountered that ghost thing, hugged me and gnawed wildly, in this dark hole, I would not let people live!
Zhang Wen thought to himself.
"Senior Sister Gongsun, I think it's better for us to act together. There is a lot of power in numbers, so let's take some time to find out what may be a problem, and then we will have time. We can also cultivate with peace of mind!" said Chen Yunjian.
Seeing Zhang Wen's cowardice, Chen Yun was amused at the same time, and at the same time, he also put forward his own views to Gongsun Luyi. And Zhang Wen's statement is not as reasonable. It's best to be careful when you don't understand the details of the other person. If there is any damage, it will be too late to regret it.
Gongsun Luyi nodded when he heard Chen Yun's construction, and then said: "Let's rest for three days first, and after three days, when we use the formation to close this spiritual jade mine at night, we will sneak in together first and catch that strange thing." ”
Nakaiwa, after seeing Gongsun Luyi say this, was overjoyed, and immediately thanked Gongsun Luyi, Chen Yun and others. This spirit jade mine, they have to mine for a long time, if it has been ghostly, weird and terrifying, who has the heart to mine!
Ahead, Chen Yun entered the spirit jade mine, and when he saw the few nine forging monks who were mining the spirit mine, there was some fear in his expression, and now that he thought about it, he understood the reason.
Chen Yun and the others said goodbye to Nakaiwa, under the guidance of Gongsun Luyi, came to a quiet valley about five or six miles away near the Lingyu mine, this valley is not big, but the scenery is quite good, and there are actually two clear streams, meandering from the mountain gorge, Chen Yun learned from Gongsun Luyi's narration that this valley was named 'Shuangxi Valley' by the Luoyun monk who lived in front, the gorge is lush with trees, walking in it, the flowers are like brocade, the falling flowers are colorful, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
After Chen Yun and the other five people entered the Shuangxi Gorge, Gongsun Luyi took Chen Yun and the four of them to see the caves dug by the monks who came in front of this mountain gorge, and there were four small caves in this place, in addition to Gongsun Luyi's front and come, after choosing one, there were three more.
Chen Yun, Mu Yuchen, Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu, under the negotiation and arrangement of Gongsun Luyi, let Chen Yun and Mu Yuchen each occupy a small cave mansion, and Zhang Wen and Zhang Wuhe lived in the last cave mansion. Considering that his two brothers have the lowest cultivation, Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu are also convinced by this distribution.
After everyone made arrangements, it was agreed that in three days, they would gather in Gongsun Luyi's cave, and then act together to catch the ghost.
After Chen Yun separated from the others, he galloped towards his own small cave mansion.
After Chen Yun entered the cave mansion, he browsed around, and felt that there was not much difference between this kid's cave mansion and the ninety-ninth cave mansion in the Taiyi Sword Garden's cultivation mountain gorge, about a dozen rooms, neat and clean, and the facilities and daily utensils were relatively complete, and the sturdy and heavy stone gate at the entrance of the cave mansion, once closed, was enough to block the demon beasts in the mountains from the door.
Chen Yun walked around the cave house briefly, closed the door of the cave, and then came to the quiet room where he practiced, took out the 'Yanshen Treasure Book' on his wrist, put it on the stone bench, and then punched out the seal recipe and entered the Yanshen Treasure Book.
For Xiaoyin, now Chen Yun's sense of trust is getting stronger and stronger, and the tacit understanding and affection between one person and one carving are also extraordinary.
Chen Yun entered the 'Yanshen Treasure Book', without any delay, and galloped towards the cold pool, his biggest purpose in coming to the Yeyu Mountain Range was to find a place where he could meditate and cultivate, although he was going out in three days, but three days could not be wasted.
In the next three days, Chen Yun spent half a day in the cold pool, levitating his body, cultivating the 'Taiyan Decision', and then spent half a day refining the pseudo-spiritual root physique and cultivating the 'Yanshen True Solution' in the 'Lihu Spirit Soul Furnace', and the rest of the time, he would find an open place and cultivate. Qianxuan Yuan Qi Slash', just because he didn't practice this domineering spell near Hantan, because the forests and flowers around Hantan were too dense, and the last time he was plagued by Chen Yun once, Yang Yanyu almost jumped like thunder, so he continued to ignore Yang Yanyu's warning, Yang Yanyu saw the dilapidated scene after the retreat, and his anger was like a volcanic eruption, even if Chen Yun was eloquent, it was definitely difficult for him to protect himself.
Three days passed quickly, although the time was not long, but Chen Yun still felt quite progressive, and he vaguely felt that the nine forging and nine layers were getting closer and closer to the breakthrough time, because he found that his spiritual sense was now more and more effective in controlling magic weapons or vitality flywheels, not just like before, he had a somewhat clumsy feeling like he was completely urged by the true element.
Chen Yun came out of the cold pool and came to the seven wooden houses, and of course he also watered some stream water on the green seeds of the small peach forest on the way, so as to seek peace of mind.
In the wooden house, Chen Yun rested for a while, and in the largest wooden house next to him, Yang Yanyu was immersed in the 'Tiangang Cultivation Divine Array' again, and went all out to retreat and repair the divine consciousness injuries of the weapon spirit in the waste machete.
And even though Chen Yun was close to Yang Yanyu, he didn't even have any sense of his spiritual sense, and he couldn't help but feel secretly surprised by the large array of spiritual consciousness repair.
But these surprises are also very inferior to the information that Chen Yun got from Gongsun Luyi three days ago. (To be continued......)
