Chapter 40: The Spirit Absorbing Stone
Three days later, in a high air hundreds of miles away from Guangyuan Temple, two rays of light quickly swept through the air and went straight into the distance.
Chen Zhi stood on the Moyu Flying Boat, squinting his eyes and thinking about something, while the slightly chubby Han Zhu stepped on a yellow disc with both feet, turning into a yellow light and leading the way in front.
After flying for half a day, the two came to a barren mountain, the barren mountain was not big, but there was no trace of green within a radius of hundreds of miles, but after Han Zhu saw this mountain, he stepped on the disc with a hint of joy on his face and fell straight to the ground. And after Chen Zhi frowned slightly, he also retreated.
Chen Zhi's spiritual sense swept slightly, and he felt that there were already several people waiting for them on the ground, and there was still a trace of spiritual power fluctuations on these people's bodies, obviously all of them were cultivators.
Sure enough, as soon as the light of the two people landed, a seemingly uninhabited place in the barren mountain suddenly flashed yellow, and seven young men and women appeared out of thin air.
"Han Fatzi, you are really slow, you are still one of the initiators of this trip! Huh? Who is this?" One of them, a young man dressed in casual clothes and with a fashionable hairstyle, looked at Chen Zhi behind Han Zhu with a fresh face, and couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say that there were only eight of us on this trip? Why is there another one?"
When Chen Zhi saw this person, his thick eyebrows and big eyes made him look extraordinary, but the hooked nose on the bridge of his nose made him look a little gloomy.
"Hehe, Brother Jin, I forgot to say, this is Chen Zhi, a talisman maker of Guangyuan Temple, this time to explore the ancient ruins, no one has ever been to that kind of place, and I don't know what is dangerous in Lu Dao, such a place, one more person has more strength, isn't it?"
Turning his head, Han Zhu immediately introduced Chen Zhi: "Brother Chen, this is Brother Jin Lan, and he is also a casual cultivation friend I know, but sometimes I don't pay much attention to what I say, just now, Brother Chen still don't take it too seriously." ”
After Chen Zhi listened to Han Zhu's explanation, he knew that as the initiator, most of them were just flattering at both ends, so he just nodded slightly and said: "It turned out to be Brother Jin, Chen Mou also just received an invitation from Han Daoyou, so he rushed here, Chen Mou was originally a casual cultivator, so he naturally knew the difficulty of Lu Dao's casual cultivation, and it was inevitable that he would have a bigger temper, how could he go to his heart?"
As soon as Chen Zhi's words came out, it made this Jin Lan touch a soft nail, Jin Lan's eyes sank, but it was not good to say anything more.
When Han Zhu saw it, he smiled slightly, and he didn't know if he was happy to see such a scene, or if he felt that he felt a little relieved to resolve the small friction between the two.
Then Han Zhu introduced several other people to Chen Zhi, one of them was a beautiful looking and petite female cultivator named Yu Huawan, and next to her stood a burly man, with a beard, a giant sword behind his back, and a bulging treasure bag at his waist, Han Zhu called him: "Brother Liu." According to him, Dahan's real name is Liu Tianfeng, and Yu Huawan is a pair of double cultivation partners, both of whom are disciples of a nearby monastic sect "Qinglin Sect".
Although there is a huge difference in the figures between these two people, but looking at their snuggling together and whispering, the relationship seems to be excellent, and when Han Zhu introduced them, the two of them also nodded towards Chen Zhi at the same time, looking like they were very understanding.
And there is another young man who is covered with a layer of black qi all over his body, and he always keeps his head down, when Han Zhu introduced him, he raised his head slightly and made eye contact with Chen Zhi, and then after smiling slightly, he lowered his head again.
"Brother Chen, don't mind, this is Xu Leng Xu Daoyou from Kwai Mu Building, it's just because of the peculiar cultivation method that he looks like this. ”
Han Zhu seemed to have already seen the surprise, and introduced others to Chen Zhi.
Is the exercise peculiar?
After Chen Zhi heard Han Zhu's explanation, his heart moved slightly, and he knew that when he made contact with Xu Leng's eyes just now, a strange feeling suddenly came from his heart, as if he felt that although this person had a smile in his eyes, there was no trace of a smile in the depths of his eyes, but he was cold, without any emotion.
Whether this is also influenced by this person's exercises as Han Zhu said, but I don't know the way. However, Chen Zhi was a little jealous of this person.
The remaining three people are people known to Chen Zhi, and these three people are all monks of Guangyuan Temple, Huibei, Huixiu, and Huihai. After Chen Zhi also recited the Buddha's name to the three of them, he called Senior Brother, which can be regarded as having seen it.
After Chen Zhi and the three of them greeted each other, Jin Lan couldn't wait to say: "Let's go, we've been here for too long, the ancient repair site has a time limit for opening, probably after a while, it should be opened, let's go quickly." ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone nodded yes together, and they all rose up, but Chen Zhi frowned when he heard it, this Han Zhu obviously had something to hide from him, and he didn't even reveal it to himself that this ancient repair site had a time limit for opening.
But now it seems that it is not easy to question, so I have to step on the black jade flying boat, turning into a black light and following away.
After flying about a stick of incense, an inconspicuous-looking hill appeared in front of everyone.
This mountain is about dozens of zhang high, the whole body is yellow, there is no trace of green, it gives people a very uncomfortable feeling, and the whole body is like the appearance of piling up with loess.
"Is this here? How can this be the relics of the ancient cultivators, there is no spiritual vein here, will the ancient cultivators establish a cave here?" As soon as Yu Huawan, the only female cultivator among the people, came here, she took out a jade plate, and after the jade hand tapped on it, she raised her head with a suspicious look on her face.
"Hehe, Yu Daoyou don't need to be surprised, if the ancient cultivation ruins are all built in a place where the spiritual veins are abundant, they have already been discovered, and they will wait until now, this ancient cultivation ruins are covered by a magic circle The aura fluctuations of the earth's veins will be preserved to this day, if you don't believe it, as long as you fly closer, you will know the Dao. ”
After Han Zhu listened to the female cultivator's skeptical words, he explained without care.
After Yu Huawan heard this, she really stepped on a piece of brocade under her feet, turned into a colorful practice and flew away, but before she could fall into the light, the originally calm air suddenly blew violently, and the sand and stones flew up.
The boundless strong wind blew the loess on the soil slope into the sky, and the sky and the earth were dark for a while.
Seeing this situation, Yu Huawan naturally knew that what Han Zhu said was true, and immediately retreated with a flying magic weapon under her feet.
"It seems that this is here, this bit of wind and sand is nothing, our body protection aura can be completely resisted, but the more we go below, whether it is still such a strong wind and sand is the key to whether we can successfully enter this place on this trip. After the double cultivation partner named Yu Huawan saw the female companion fly out, he concluded at a glance that the wind and sand was just ordinary wind and sand, but he still asked with some anxiety in his heart.
"Hehe, please rest assured Brother Liu, Senior Brother Huibei and I have both gone down, and it is completely accessible with Brother Liu's mid-stage cultivation of Qi Induction. And in order to ensure that everyone can enter this ruin this time, I have invited all my mid-stage cultivators. After Han Zhu heard Dahan's suspicious words, he only said a few words lightly, and immediately dispelled this person's doubts.
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go down quickly!" After Jin Lan saw it, as soon as he stepped on a flying sword under his feet, his figure immediately sank.
Seeing this, Han Zhu said to the people behind him, "Everyone, let's go down too!" As he spoke, he had already stepped on the disc under his feet and flew down with Jin Lan.
However, Chen Zhi had a little more of a cautious mind, and only after seeing that most of the retreats controlled by everyone had sunk, he stepped on the Moyu Flying Boat and followed, and Xu Leng, who was covered in black gas, didn't know if Lu Dao had the same idea as Chen Zhi, but he was the last one to fall into the light.
Although the yellow sand was raging, it was not an obstacle to a few of them, and under the great aura of everyone's body protection, they passed through the yellow sand barrier in a few clicks and fell in front of an inconspicuous mountain wall.
"Is this here?" After Yu Huawan saw the stone wall in front of her, she immediately swept it with her spiritual sense, but she only found that there was really nothing special about this mountain wall, and she couldn't help but ask with some suspicion.
"Hehe, Miss Yu has noticed it? If you only use your spiritual sense to explore this mountain wall, you really can't find anything special, if it weren't for that map, even if we find this place, we won't know that this is an ancient repair site. However, this also reflects the power of the ancient cultivators. Seeing the woman's reaction, Monk Huibei couldn't help but chuckle, when he first came here, he also thought he was in the wrong place for a while.
"Hehe, exactly, this mountain wall is not made of ordinary stones, this stone is called the Spirit Absorbing Stone, usually, it is no different from ordinary stones, but as long as the spiritual power is input into the stone wall, this stone will be invisible within a period of time, in ancient times, this Spirit Absorbing Stone was commonly used as a material to block the cave, but later, due to the widespread use of various disguise circles, it gradually replaced the use of this Spirit Absorbing Stone. Okay, it's not too early, let's inject spiritual power into it together. After Han Zhu explained slightly, he suggested that he had already pressed his hand on the stone wall first, looking eager to try.
When everyone saw his appearance, most of their suspicions naturally disappeared, and they immediately stepped forward without objection, put their hands on the stone wall, and began to inject spiritual power into it.
"Spirit Absorbing Stone?" After Chen Zhi heard this, his heart jumped, and he suddenly remembered a description in the beast skin book.
This is an excellent material for refining a defensive shield! A defensive shield refined with a spirit absorbing stone can be completely unafraid of pure mana attacks, but most of them are powerless against the attacks of magic weapons. And due to some special reasons, this kind of stone can rarely be seen in the monastic world nowadays, but I didn't expect to see a piece here!
Thinking of this, Chen Zhi's heart became a little hot.
But Chen Zhi suddenly thought that he had just seen such an extremely rare stone at the entrance of this cave, and the things in this cave were probably more valuable than this, so he must not lose a big stone because of this stone.
After thinking like this, Chen Zhi's expression immediately calmed down, and he stepped forward with everyone, pressing on the stone with one hand, and a slight blue light appeared at the contact between his palm and the stone wall, and he also began to inject spiritual power into it.
Sure enough, after only a short period of effort, after the stone absorbed enough spiritual power, the color began to turn from dark to light, and gradually blurred.
After a while, the stone disappeared in plain sight.
And then, before everyone could look for the trace of the spirit absorbing stone, a "rumbling" sound suddenly came from the ground, and a dark passage appeared in front of everyone.
"Let's go, this spirit absorbing stone will not reappear in another half a day, and during this period, this stone is simply nowhere to be found, don't fight any idea of this stone, we need to find the treasure left by the ancient cultivator during this period, but we don't have so much time to wait for this stone to reappear, and then come to retrieve the treasure." Besides, the spirit absorbing stone is very strange, this stone from one side, and ordinary mountain stone is no different, and the other side is translucent, if you want to take the treasure, you can only cut it from the transparent side with a sharp magic weapon to not fall apart, and if you cut it from the other side, the general flying sword cut on it, will be absorbed spiritual power, and become no different from an ordinary sword, can not be cut off, but if it is broken by brute force, it will burst open, into a pile of ordinary gravel. ”
"Even if you want to take the treasure, you will have to wait for this mountain wall to reappear, and then try to do it in this cave. And there is still half a day before this mountain wall reappears, do you want to give up other treasures just for such a spiritual stone? You must know that some of the treasures in the ancient cultivation ruins of the Dao Dao are priceless. ”
Monk Huibei saw that everyone was a little stopped, and after rolling his eyes, he immediately understood everyone's thoughts, smiled slightly, explained it, and then walked forward by himself.
And Hui Hai and Hui Xiu looked like only Hui Hui was sad and looked forward, and after reciting the Buddha name, they followed.
After a little analysis, the rest of the people also knew that most of what Lu Dao Huibei said was true, although they were quite reluctant in their hearts, but they were also afraid that the treasures below would be taken away by others, and after a battle between heaven and man in their hearts, they also knew that it was still early for Lu Dao, far from the time when the spirit absorbing stone reappeared, so they had to stomp their feet and follow.
After Chen Zhi listened to Huibei's words, his expression moved slightly to the side of his head, and after his lips moved slightly a few times, the spirit beast bag on his waist was slightly deflated.
His movements were extremely slight, but no one in the audience noticed his actions, and of course, no one noticed that there was already an extra thing coming out of the cave at this time.
