Chapter Ninety-Six: The Fifth Layer
A fishy smell suddenly spread. But after Sun Fengzhao saw the debris of the blood-colored forbidden door clearly, his face did not change greatly.
The incisions of these broken blood-red crystals were like people, gurgling out dark red black blood. And that fishy smell came from these black and red blood.
This kind of situation is really unspeakably weird! It also made Sun Fengzhao understand at this time that the previous blood-colored forbidden gate was connected with the prohibition of this small Buddhist sect on these four monks. Breaking this Buddhist ban also closes the bloody forbidden door.
Sun Fengzhao waved his hand casually, and a strong wind immediately dispelled this disgusting bloody aura. Standing in the clean passage, Sun Fengzhao narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "It seems that I have found the source of some of the blood forbidden spells of some evil cultivators today, hmph, this kind of spell seems to be the origin of these ancient monks." ”
Sun Fengzhao, who was originally full of respect for these four ancient monks, after figuring out the blood-colored forbidden door set up by these people, he was not disappointed for a while, and his respect for them was greatly reduced. And for this product of the combination of the Buddhist formation and the prohibition of evil cultivation, it is full of incomprehension.
How could two immortal cultivation sects, which seemed to be eternally hostile now, be able to combine the prohibition of Buddhism with such an evil formation as blood prohibition ten thousand years ago, it is really incredible!
Sun Fengzhao, who was about to leave, turned his gaze slightly, and Sun Fengzhao glanced at the four ancient Dharma Body double cultivators who were on the ground in front of him.
"Hey, I admire what you did to protect this passage from the invaders who killed the mortals behind it. But the forbidden law you are using is ...... Alas, I'd better gather your bones!"
In the end, compassion still prevailed in Sun Fengzhao's heart, and Sun Fengzhao returned to collect the bones of the four ancient monks he respected and hated, and prepared to go out and find a place to bury these four people.
Just as Sun Fengzhao received the second skeleton that was still counted on his left hand, a palm-sized stone slab slipped out of his arms with a "dang" sound and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound like a token just now.
"What is it? This is probably the Jane used by the ancient monks to record important content such as exercises! But Young Master Ben comes from a famous and decent family, so it is okay if he doesn't learn these evil methods!" Touching the uneven surface runes on this stone slab, Sun Fengzhao speculated.
However, he did not practice the exercises left by the ancient monks who used this evil method. After Sun Fengzhao casually threw the stone into a storage box, he started to walk to the other end of the passage.
Such a tribe-like place, with almost no vegetation, not even any thorns and dead branches! I don't know how many years have passed, and all that is left is endless dust!
Approaching a wooden house, Sun Fengzhao reached out and pulled on the door, he didn't use much force, but the whole door was pulled down by him, and the handle that Sun Fengzhao pulled directly turned into wood slag and slipped from his fingers to the ground.
This situation made Sun Fengzhao's brows furrow, these wooden houses actually decayed like this, and the years should be at least a few hundred years old, could it be ...... Before this monk war, the mortals here had already left?
Due to the severe decay of the wood, Sun Fengzhao did not dare to enter the house, but walked around the village. It was found that these wooden houses were all made of logs, and their architectural style was very mature, although simple, but extremely practical, and traces of enclosures and livestock were found outside some houses in the village.
It seems that these mortals have escaped the primitive state of society and have signs of the collective life of the village today.
Sun Fengzhao took a cursory walk around and unexpectedly found another passage. Standing in front of this passage, Sun Feng looked ahead, then turned around and looked behind, and suddenly he let out a long breath, and the person raised his legs and walked into the passage.
walked all the way into this passage, and to Sun Fengzhao's surprise, this passage was very short, only more than 20 zhang deep, and then it came to an end. After this stone passage, a stone house soon appeared in front of Sun Fengzhao.
"Stone House!"
In stark contrast to the wooden house outside, it seemed to indicate that Sun Fengzhao had arrived at another important place, which lifted Sun Fengzhao's spirits.
This stone house has a very strange shape, built round and in the middle of winter. It's not big, it's even a little small, Sun Fengzhao estimates that there should be only one room inside. Although there were no brilliant mana and spiritual power fluctuations on it, Sun Fengzhao knew that there must be prohibitions, shields and other protections on this stone house.
As soon as he walked into this stone house, the token that Sun Fengzhao put into the storage bag buzzed, and without Sun Fengzhao's summoning, it automatically flew out and pasted it on a specific concave surface on the stone house, and the prohibition shrouded in the stone house was removed.
However, according to past experience, the blood light, spiritual power fluctuations, buzzing, and gaps that should have appeared did not appear. Instead, the token whined a few times, as if it had been activated several times, but it was not activated, or the ban was closed, and a lost automatic flew back into Sun Fengzhao's storage bag.
This token seems to have a spiritual token, and its function is only to automatically open the two low temple doors on the stone house. These two palace doors are like the two palace doors in front of the passage of the remains when Sun Fengzhao entered. These two temple doors are not like the original temple gates, and after they are opened, there is no sign of closing. In the end, under the gaze of Sun Fengzhao, who had done nothing, he fell to the ground with a bang and shattered into a pile of rubble.
From the beginning to the end, Sun Fengzhao didn't dare to act rashly, but just let the token fly in and out, and the stone door of this stone house collapsed.
"Maybe this is where the core of this underground world stays, right? Maybe the entire mortal tribe has not been attacked by the invaders, but this core place may not have been spared, right?"
Sun Fengzhao secretly stepped into this mysterious stone house. Beds, tables and chairs, wardrobes, everything that a mortal family should have here, not cumbersome, very simple.
This seems to be a mortal habitation, not the core of this underground world as Sun Fengzhao thinks. And the things here, I don't know if it's because of the age, have all decayed. Unable to withstand touching it anymore, Sun Fengzhao just reached out and touched a nearby chair, turning the chair into a pile of powder.
Sun Fengzhao was disappointed for a while, and was about to withdraw from here. Suddenly, the token flew out without being summoned, and in front of a cabinet in the room of the stone house, it swayed left and right, and it looked very anxious.
"What's the matter, is there anything special about this cabinet?" Sun Fengzhao seemed to be talking to this token. Immediately, there was a reaction, this is a token, how can you understand his words.
With Sun Fengzhao mocking his anger, he stepped forward and wanted to kick the cabinet open. But after thinking about it, he was angry with a token, so he held back his anger and didn't kick and smash the cabinet. Instead, he took a deep breath and pushed open the only cabinet in the room with his hands full of powder.
After the cabinet was pushed open, a secret passage appeared in front of the powder on the ground.
"It turns out that there is a secret passage here, good token!"
Sun Fengzhao reached out and stroked the token that refused to return to the storage bag, and walked into this secret passage. To Sun Fengzhao's surprise, after walking into this passage, Sun Fengzhao found that it was a stone staircase going down, and the sound of the wind could be faintly heard, and the sound of ticking water could be clearly heard with Sun Fengzhao's downward movement.
"Didn't you say that there are only forty percent of this underground ruin, how can there be a fifth layer?"
A stone door interrupted Sun Fengzhao's doubts again, there was no prohibition on this stone door, and he commanded the token to fly around in front of this door, but he didn't open it, so he could only recall this token.
But Sun Fengzhao soon found a disc engraved with numbers on the wall next to the stone gate, and the numbers on this disc were not only the Tianjue script that Sun Fengzhao recognized, but also the texture of ordinary iron.
Sun Fengzhao hesitated for a while when he saw this disc, and suddenly thought of the number mentioned at the end of the last words of the monk surnamed Long - "fifty-four"!
"Does this number fifty-four refer to the opening code of the organ here, what if I translate it wrong, what if I can't open it, what if it triggers some powerful prohibition?"
Curiosity finally overcame Sun Fengzhao's many concerns, and he reached out to this disc, and he was able to twist one of the inner rings. Twisting the internally moving disc to the fifty-four of the Tianjue Wen number, Sun Fengzhao took a few steps back nervously, looked at everything in front of him, and was ready for all sudden changes.
"Rattle......" There was a rusty metal grinding sound from behind the disc.
"Wow!"
The stone door slowly opened inward, and then it seemed to confirm what Sun Fengzhao thought, and an underground hall on the fifth floor appeared in front of Sun Fengzhao's eyes.
This underground hall is not big, only seven or eight zhang wide. But it was unusually bright, standing at the door of the hall. The familiar burning sensation hit me again. It was probably because no one had walked into this Xuanyang Earth Fire Alchemy Pill or the refining room for a long time, and Sun Fengzhao's face suddenly brought a little smoke ash floating out.
This is almost the same Xuanyang Earth Fire Room as Sun Fengzhao saw at Yaoding Peak, and the canal that was drawn from nowhere on all sides, and there is still a stream flowing in it. I think the sound of water I heard outside was coming from its inlet channel.
The walls and floors are all made of partition stone, which is warm to the touch and has a slight coolness. Except for the small gourd with Xinghuo sand hanging at the four corners, which is used to block the earth fire, the layout here is almost the same as that of Yaoding Peak.
