Chapter 45: A Feathered Corpse
Lao Mai turned his head, and then looked at the cave in front of him, the sky light reflected in, and he clearly saw that there was a formation map depicted on the ground, although it was also covered with slightly thick dust, it could be seen that it was obviously a formation, and the three points of the regular triangle on the map each had a concave dot, inlaid with three gray-brown stones.
It seems to be exactly the same as the ethereal stones on the underground ancient teleportation array, under closer inspection, these three ethereal stones are almost intact, and it is difficult to see any cracks when blowing away the dust, what kind of teleportation array is this to drive?
But all the sources of formation urging are all three-three systems, starting from three, three or six or nine points, from small to large to set up the source of the formation, what is the teleportation formation that wants to be driven by three ethereal stones underground, and where is it going to be teleported?
Lao Mai had a question on his face, and just wanted to lean over to sweep away the dust and study the teleportation formation depicted on the ground, but in an instant, he saw a black shadow sitting motionless against the wall in the inner corner of the cave.
His heart froze, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to look, and when his eyes flashed, he found that it was a corpse wrapped in a gray robe.
This is obviously not a skeleton, but a naturally dried mummy, a dried corpse that is generally formed in the cultivation realm only by wood cultivators who have feathered up and returned to heaven above the innate realm!
The congenital wood body is pure, and in the air, insects and cockroaches do not invade, just like the corpse of Mu Qingzi who was enclosed in a small valley cabin in the deep forest and returned to the sky.
Lao Mai squatted in front of the mummy, but first cautiously protected his wrist with his true yuan force, and then reached over to touch the gray robe it was wearing, I don't know what kind of material the fabric was made of, not only was it not rotten, but it was still a little elastic.
The complexion of this dried corpse has turned black, and it can be seen that the flesh is much fuller than that of ordinary dried corpses, and it is estimated that he was a relatively high-end cultivator before his death, and there are no other abnormalities on his body, probably belonging to the category of dying at the end of his life.
The corpse sat in the corner, its body supported by the walls of the cave on both sides, its legs crossed, its hands in front of its abdomen and clenched in a virtual position, holding its head motionless, and other than that, there was no other object to be seen.
Lao Mai didn't want to touch its body with his hands, so he grabbed a rock and pinched it into a stone stick, stretched out it to the dry corpse and poked it everywhere to see what else was hidden, and after stabbing it for a long time, he found nothing.
Suddenly, he remembered that the ancients, especially the literati and scholars, were accustomed to putting things in their sleeves, so he stretched out the stone stick, lifted the wide sleeves of the gray robe on its body, and finally picked out a folded storage charm on the left sleeve.
This storage talisman only has a simple prohibition, Lao Mai rushed to open it, and hurriedly looked in, and found that it was also the same cubic space inside.
There are a few pieces of various fabric robes of unknown materials, as well as a bunch of Taoist classics, such as "Chongxu Zhenjing", "Tongxuan Zhenjing", "Sitting and Forgetting Theory", "Huashu" and the like, which are dozens of books in ancient Song style with vertical lines.
Lao Mai flipped it with his true yuan force, and found that there was nothing else, and the spirit stones he hoped to find were not even visible, and the exercises, talismans, magic weapons, and so on were not even visible.
He couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart: "Oh, this poor ghost is poorer than ordinary Qi cultivation disciples, and there are no basic cultivation classics, just a bunch of useless Taoist books that pretend to be gods and ghosts." ”
Then he thought: "Even if this guy makes a formation, he has to go underground and use other people's spirit stones as the driving law source, and he can expect to have any good heads." ”
Lao Mai was frustrated and just wanted to put away this storage talisman, but he accidentally glanced at it and saw that there was a piece of silk paper tiled inside, and he knew that it was a paper paper commonly used by people in high society in ancient times, especially before the Han Dynasty, so he took it out and wanted to see what kind of nonsense was written on it.
As soon as he took it out and looked at it, it was full of dense runes, Lao Mai frowned, used his divine sense, scanned these runes into the sea of knowledge, and decomposed them with his mind and looked at them for a while, and he was taken aback.
It turned out to be a rune written with true yuan power, a rune that could be written with true yuan, Lao Mai was still the first time he had seen it, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he decomposed it with his mind.
The approximate meaning of this rune breakdown is as follows:
Yu is a member of the Jinshi Sect of Zhongtu, the Taoist number Xuanjizi, pure wood attributes, cultivated for the late stage of the realm of Jindan, since the early stage of Jindan, the cultivation is extreme, it is difficult to advance to the middle stage, and then visited the famous mountains and rivers, deep valleys and old forests, after more than 100 years, cultivated to the late stage of Jindan, and then not an inch, imitating no plan, helpless to enter the WTO for decades.
Yu Yu in the northwest accidentally met a chicken and dog thief, but he was an outcast of the machine sect for a day, because his hands and feet were not clean, he was expelled from the sect, and he had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he actually cultivated to the realm of the great perfection of qi cultivation.
His person is actually talented and intelligent, and he actually obtained the true transmission of divination and fortune-telling from Tianji Sect, so he deduced that there must be strange things in the 10,000-year-old stubborn stone under this mountain, so he dug thousands of holes and saw the ancient giant teleportation circle in the depths of the earth.
This teleportation array must be a long-distance teleportation, it is a thing teleported by the outside giants, although it has failed, but the afterglow still exists, under the surprise of the remnant, the ground is not studied, the cunning servant secretly wears the prohibition, wants to abscond, and the rest of the helplessness will strangle it, so that the secrets of this place will not leak to the world, coveted by outsiders.
Yu Yanzhi has been studying for decades, and learned that this magic circle is indeed a long-distance formation, and it will not be in this realm when it reaches the ground, but will go across the border, and nine giants can be teleported each time, and there are ten giant bones in the ancient cave, and there will be no formation mage.
Why did the ancient giant forcibly teleport due to panic, and it was estimated that it was caused by the subsidence of the mountain blocking the exit of the Yongdong, and after the teleportation array was damaged, the ancient giants were unable to dig and left, so they died one by one.
The teleportation array is inlaid with ethereal stones for nine nine hundred and eighty-one grains, which can teleport nine giants, and each giant weighs more than three of us, so I want to teleport, and the carved array is inlaid with three ethereal stones, and the original array is damaged, and only three intact spirit stones remain, isn't it heaven to help me.
Yu then carefully studied the ancient array, another good place to carve the array, several years of the formation of the square, but the stone can not be driven, the analysis of the discovery of this array Yu still painted the gourd is not appropriate, and then want to study the carved array, back to the first time to see Yu Shou Yuan Jing has been insufficient, the end of the feather, leave a book for posterity, take it as a warning, Yunyun.
Lao Mai looked strange and finished reading the rune book of this mummy, took a long breath, shook his head with a wry smile, it turned out that this was an old acquaintance that Mu Qingzi had said, Xuanjizi, the predecessor of Jindan of the Jinshi Sect 1,200 years ago.
At that time, Mu Qingzi said that this sect predecessor had no shortage of beautiful words, but Lao Mai felt that this old man had a problem with his brain, the driving teleportation array of ninety-nine eighty-one spirit stones, if you simply reduce it, you can make a single teleportation array, isn't it that the two three-cylinder engines of the car can be turned into a six-cylinder head together, which is so easy.
As for the teleportation formation, Lao Mai has not studied it, just because he has never seen the real thing, but he has never been able to find a way, one is that there is no spirit stone as the driving source, and the other is that the space rune itself cannot be understood.
Lao Mai thought to himself, go back and study the space formation carefully, many things given by the talisman inheritance are all on the exercise tree, and if you look at it slowly, you will definitely have something to gain.
So, he put the remains and relics of Xuanjizi into the storage talisman, and the original storage talisman was vacant, and this basic storage talisman could not be put into it because the low-level space could not be stacked.
Lao Mai waved his hand and collected the three complete ethereal stones on the ground formation map, wiped away the formation map that looked at the past, which resembled the underground ancient teleportation array, and completely blocked this long and crooked thief hole spell with rocks, and escaped back to the underground ancient teleportation array again.
Taking out a futon from the storage talisman, he meditated in front of the ancient teleportation array, there was no Simmons here, so he had to meditate on an unaccustomed futon, which was better than sitting directly on the bluestone floor to cool his ass.
There are related teleportation formation books in my own exercise tree, and I have studied it before, but I don't understand the space formation, so I don't read it much.
Now I turned it out and looked at it again, and I still looked at it repeatedly for nearly a day against the array runes of the ancient teleportation array, and finally realized a little.
The so-called spatial teleportation is nothing more than point-to-point movement, from a certain point, regardless of the interval of space, through a complex runic architecture, across a certain folded space, teleported to another point.
Lao Mai went from not understanding to understanding, slowly raising interest, learning a certain knowledge, no interest is not able to learn, start to develop interest, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is much easier to continue.
Before he knew it, many days had passed, he didn't see the light of day underground, he didn't know the passage of time without looking at his watch, and he meditated for almost half a year.
Due to the existence of the doppelganger wheat now, at least one of the doppelgangers stays in the sect, not to mention dealing with the daily affairs of the sect, even if it is infused with the earth system true yuan for Yu Mu once a month, it can also be done for the clone, and there is no need to worry about not being able to go back.
Lao Mai finally took a long breath and stood up, walked to the formation platform to look at the formation runes on the ground, and he found that the ethereal spirit stone was inlaid on the formation wall, which was the spiritual source that was teleported out, and the formation pattern on the ground should be the east and east of the person who received it, and it only played a positioning role without spiritual power.
Moreover, the depiction of the formation pattern is not only to depict the rune pattern on the white marble, but also to fill it with finely ground ethereal stone powder.
It turned out that he still had a question, since teleporting out and receiving teleportation in were separate, why couldn't anyone teleport after teleporting?
Now Lao Mai understands, the key lies in the main spirit stone on the formation wall, it is undoubtedly the array eye, this form of teleportation array is a two-way long-distance teleportation array, there must be an array eye adjustment, and now the array eye is broken, which will also lead to the inability to accept people from there.
After comparing the coming and going runes, he cut off all the shattered ethereal stones on the formation wall, sat down on the futon again, and slowly studied it.
Lao Mai thought to himself, the ground ethereal stone powder can be made into a space acceptance formation filler, these shattered ethereal stones are not broken with all their spiritual power, but they are overwhelmed and shattered, if they are also shattered into the end, they can also be made into other space items.
