Chapter 217: The Evil King's Tomb
Since then, the Qi family has embarked on this seemingly never-ending treasure hunt for generations. After more than 2,000 years, after the perseverance of countless people, when it came to Qi Lao's generation, there were finally some clues.
But unfortunately, the requirements for entering the Evil King's Mausoleum are very harsh. There is a level that requires a high level of physical cultivation in order to overcome many tribulations and have a certain chance of passing.
Although he once opened the door of the Evil King's Mausoleum with the pagoda in his hand, he did not enter it. Fifty years ago, after Qi Lao returned in vain, he resolutely embarked on the road of searching for physical cultivation. But in today's immortal cultivation world, that is the world of law cultivation. Physical cultivation is fucking, 10,000 times rarer than stunning beauties, and it is a rare existence.
In the past 50 years, Qi Lao has traveled all over the country, inside and outside the mountains and rivers, and has experienced many hardships, from black hair to white hair, but he has never found a qualified candidate. Even if it is found, it is pitiful for the wilderness.
Now, except for a few low-level cultivators in the Enlightenment Period, they are still stupidly following the old path of refining their bodies. Not a single high-ranking monk wants to walk this path full of thorns. Although there are also a very small number of famous ancestors in the Yudan period, by chance, they became physical cultivators. But their cultivation was too high, and Qi Lao didn't dare to lure the wolf into the room at all.
It is not good to cultivate high, and it is useless to cultivate low. So, this found a qualified physical cultivation, and it has been delayed until now, and there has been no result. Finally, just when Qi Laodu was about to give up, Zhou Nan appeared.
Therefore, as soon as he discovered the reaction of the pagoda, Qi Lao's mind became active. He really didn't expect that God would treat him like this. There is no way out. Another village. I finally waited for a qualified physical cultivation.
After listening to Qi Lao's narration, Zhou Nan frowned. I thought about it for a while. Zhou Nancai said lightly, "Qi Daoyou." Such a precious secret, you are so relieved to tell it below, aren't you afraid of revealing it below?"
"Hehe, I don't know. Today, the old man has little time to live. In later generations, the children did not succeed, and several sons died early, leaving only a stubborn granddaughter. Her cultivation is low, and there is basically no hope of building a foundation in this life. While he can still live for some time, the old man will either fight hard and miss the Taoist friend. That is the secret. can only be buried under the yellow sand forever. ”
The one-armed old man's expression was very emotional, and he didn't save face for his granddaughter at all when he spoke. As for the woman, she just stuck out her tongue at Qi Lao's back, and lowered her head again.
Hearing this, Zhou Nan nodded contemplatively. This reason, while not all, is pertinent. "Yes, this treasure hunt will be counted as the next one. But there is a request below, and Qi Daoyou must first agree to the next. ”
Hearing Zhou Nan's answer, Qi Lao was stunned. Originally, he was still thinking about how to persuade Zhou Nan to cooperate with him. didn't expect Zhou Nan to agree to the request so simply. It really caught him off guard.
With a happy face, the one-armed old man grinned, and after smirking a few times, he hurriedly spoke. "Fellow Daoists, please speak, don't say one condition, it's a hundred. As long as the old man can do it, he will agree. "The look of urgency. It's like I'm afraid that Zhou Nan will disappear out of thin air.
"Hey, nothing else. Regardless of the success of this treasure hunt. This pagoda is under the request. Zhou Nan stared at the pagoda, and his originally calm face already had a bit more solemnity.
"No problem, after the treasure hunt, whether it is successful or not. The old man is in charge, and he will give the pagoda to Taoist friends, and he will never break his word. The one-armed old man breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly clapped his hands and said, for fear that if he slowed down for a moment, Zhou Nan would regret it.
This pagoda has been studied by their Qi family for so many years, and in addition to being used as a key to explore the strength of physical cultivation, it does not even have the effect of half a spirit stone. Being able to win over Zhou Nan's powerful help at such a low price is a good thing that can't be found even if you play a lantern, and there is no more cost-effective deal than this, so why don't you agree?
The two sides hit it off, made an oath to each other, and set a date for going to the Burning Sand Sea. This inn is Qi Lao's own property, and Zhou Nan was not polite, and directly occupied the most luxurious one on the third floor and lived there.
In order to get along well, Qi Lao even asked his granddaughter to serve Zhou Nan. But what is the relationship between the two? After a while, they quarreled. A terrifying roar, rolling and tumbling, shook the house.
Old man Qi's granddaughter is not very good at cultivation, she only has a mere eight-layer realm of Qiling, and Zhou Nan can crush her to death with one finger. But after experiencing this lip service, after experiencing it once, Zhou Nan completely confessed that the two were not on the same order of magnitude at all.
The woman in Shacheng is arrogant and cunning, and her quarrelsome kung fu has been practiced to the point of perfection, and it is not comparable to a layman like Zhou Nan at all. He only likes to kill people, not to talk.
In desperation, Zhou Nan could only quickly freshen up, then covered the quilt and fell asleep deeply, no longer paying attention to this woman. I used silence in exchange for precious silence. Leave her alone and toss as much as she wants. It didn't take long for the woman to take it anymore. After a few curses, he left the room stupidly.
The center of the Burning Sand Sea in the depths of the Evil King's Mausoleum is at least 100,000 miles away from the Sand City. If it were ordinary land, this distance would be nothing. But you must know that this is the famous sea of burning sand and sand.
In addition to the perennial high temperatures in the middle of the desert, there are many unexpected dangers. Even if you are unlucky, you will encounter the sand burning disaster that has not been seen for a hundred years.
At that time, the sand in the entire desert, for some reason, will burn in unison, exuding a thick blood-colored flame. The entire sky was rendered fiery red.
If you really encounter this kind of terrifying natural disaster that destroys the world and the earth, even if the ancestor of the Dan period falls into it, even if he is lucky enough to pick up a life and not die, he will have to peel off his skin. Many of the ancestors of the Qi family died under the burning sand, and there were no bones.
In addition to the most photographable burning sand, in the sea of burning sand, common sandstorms and quicksand are also everywhere. From time to time, they will jump out and walk around, if there is no powerful means of immortal cultivators, ordinary people will not be able to survive at all.
The Tomb of the Evil King is the most emperor of the later generation of the Purple Flower Dynasty, and the Tomb of the Evil King is also the largest royal tomb of the Purple Flower Dynasty. There are mountains of treasures inside, and any one of them will cause everyone to go crazy.
In the past history, there were also many immortal cultivators who entered the Burning Sand Sea and specifically searched for the royal tombs of the Purple Flower Dynasty. But unfortunately, none of them succeeded at the end. After throwing away thousands of lives, it was finally difficult to stop the greed of human nature. Let this crazy treasure hunt be eased.
Nowadays, although some people enter the sea of burning sand from time to time, they dare not go too deep. It's just a few hundred miles from the outermost part of the world, wandering around, hunting some demon beasts unique to the desert, that's all. As for thousands of miles, more than a hundred years, it was only once or twice. But every time, basically there is no return.
The time agreed between Zhou Nan and Old Man Qi was half a year later, and using this time, Old Qi had to prepare a large amount of materials and strive to achieve the best objectively. Otherwise, before they could enter the royal tomb, everyone would die in the sea of burning sand. After all, in a ghost environment like the Burning Sand Sea, 100,000 miles, that's really too far away!
Fifty years ago, if it weren't for the coincidence of Qi Lao, in the name of his guide, he would not have been lucky enough to enter the Tomb of the Evil King if he had not been lucky enough to lead an expedition of hundreds of people led by several ancestors of the Yudan Period.
But even so, in the end, he was the only one in the team of hundreds of people, and with the pagoda in his hand, he survived by luck. Even those ancestors of the Dan period also fell one after another, buried in the sea of sand, and there was not a single one left.
This time, if it weren't for the end of his life and his encounter with Zhou Nan again, Qi Lao would have been killed, and he would not be willing to enter the depths of the burning sand sea again. It's terrible, it's dangerous, it's hellish and gloomy.
Zhou Nan was not idle, and rested for three days, after getting rid of the exhaustion. After a little preparation, he plunged headlong into the sea of burning sand. Before exploring, he must first understand the sand sea, and will not fight unprepared battles.
The temperature inside the sea of burning sand is very high, and it is hot red day and night. Not long after Zhou Nan entered, the bursts of high temperature made his whole body full of sticky sweat. My throat is dry, and it's worse than gnawing on sand.
The temperature here is too high. Even with Zhou Nan's physical strength, it was a little unbearable. The sand under his feet is as red as a soldering iron, and it can even be grilled, far exceeding the limit of what the human body can bear.
One deep and one shallow, every step is a huge torture. Fortunately, Zhou Nan has flying spring boots and can jump forward. Otherwise, with the disadvantage of not being able to fly, he really can't go far.
In this kind of place, every trace of mana is precious, and it is a precious commodity that money can't buy. Experienced immortal cultivators will save their mana, and they will use it very stingily, and they are complete misers.
Ten days passed, after consuming a large amount of clear water, only more than 500 miles deep, Zhou Nan decisively stopped advancing. After some movement, he took a dozen strangely shaped sand beasts, turned around, and returned to Sand City.
A special environment has created a special evolution. These sand beasts are very good at fighting in the sand, and their strength is more than three points stronger than the demon beasts of the same level in the outside world. The earth-attribute skills of a body are very good, and they come and go without a trace. A mere third-order sand beast, even if Zhou Nan solved it with his own hands, it would take a lot of effort.
