Chapter 92 92
The Ministry of State Security contacted the center, and quickly found a team of teachers and students from the Geology Department of H University from nearby. For some reason, an associate professor was invited to lead three or five students around the Guandi Temple, holding an underground cavity detector. After a pass of exploration, they finally stopped at a small slope behind the Guandi Temple.
"After detection, there is a cavity at least 2.2 meters wide at a depth of 4.1-8 meters below. In fact, there is a long and narrow cavity nearby, but this is the largest one."
People from the Ministry of State Security expressed their gratitude to the geological team, and then sent them down the mountain.
As soon as they left, Shen Xie raised his hand without saying a word.
The greenish-gold rays of light converged into a beam of light, from top to bottom, like a javelin, with a diameter of fifty or sixty centimeters, and from top to bottom, like a golden thunder from the sky, it pierced through the soil slope directly from the marked position .
The people from the Loss Management Office of the Ministry of State Security looked panicked: "Be careful not to hurt the trees next to you! Red card ancient trees, if a tree dies, you have to go to the Environmental Protection Bureau for an explanation."
Shen Xie withdrew his hands, expressionless.
In the past, there were dougongs on Qing Dynasty buildings that were much rarer than Chaos, and later there were century-old "ancient" trees that were not even a fraction of his age but had the ability for him to explain them.
Whether it is a divine beast or a fierce beast, it is true that it is not easy to mix these days.
On the side, Xu Yunji didn't know the emotions in his lover's heart, so he only looked down from the big hole that was pierced, and suddenly smiled:
"Found the place."
From the entrance of the hole, it can be seen that the space a few meters below has suddenly become wider, and it can be seen that the poke has hit the place where the space was originally dug out.
Xu Yunji observed it, but didn't find any formation mechanism here - naturally, of course, no one would set up formations on top of his head.
Who would have thought that one day the lair hidden underground would be opened from the top of the head simply and rudely?
"I'll go down and see."
The young man said, and as he spoke, he was ready to lead the way.
Shen Xie grabbed his arm: "I'll go down first. You follow me."
Xu Yunji obediently responded.
Shen Xie went down first, followed by Xu Yunji.
Ling Fengsheng, Yu Xiangying and others followed behind.
The secret room was not dug too deep, only two meters from the ground above.
Xu Yunji stepped on the ground, and immediately looked around, and found that although the cave is not big, it can be said to have all internal organs.Although there is not much decoration and painting, the four walls have been reinforced with magic, and they are smooth.A total of sixteen luminous pearls embedded in the wall brightly illuminate the small space.
An octagonal table carved in sour branch wood and inlaid with marble, with huanghuali official hat chairs on both sides.The cups and bowls on the table are also exquisite, a pair of blue and white three-ram opening Tai Yang Zhong style bowls, and a blue and white jug with flower pattern.There is also a fairy boy's birthday decoration, which is vividly carved. Xu Yunji doesn't quite understand it, but he also feels the word "expensive" on his face.
There is also a single teak sofa with tiger legs, a mahogany cabinet, red-carved lacquerware, and bellows.
Xu Yunji gave a "tsk" sound: "The old monster is quite good at enjoying——Where is this Zhang Patriarch now?"
Ling Fengsheng walked up to the Bajiao table, reached out to touch a porcelain bowl, turned his head and said: "It's warm, there was someone just now."
"It's probably because Mr. Shen was startled that he ran away in a hurry." Yu Xiangying guessed.
"Where can we go?" Xu Yunji and Shen Xie looked at each other, and said to the cultivators who came down, "Let's divide our troops into two groups. Master Ling, please take people to this road to the south. Senior Shen, go north."
Ling Fengsheng frowned and raised his eyebrows:
"I don't need such protection from the juniors yet."
In this secret room, there is a door on the north and south walls.At first glance, there is no difference, but this place is located on the north side of Guandi Temple. To the south is the direction of the entrance just now, and to the north is to go deeper into this lair.
Xu Yunji told her to go south, but it was the party with less risk and less chance of danger.
The young man smiled at her: "Master Ling, this is the safest choice for me. Zhang Xianrong—the one here should be Zhang Xianrong—suddenly found that the secret room was pierced from above, and it is possible to run in any direction. At the entrance of the back room of the Guan Temple, although Feng Si and three fellow Taoists were left behind, with Zhang Xianrong's current strength that no one can tell, these four are likely to be defeated, and people still need to chase them. If they If you really go this way, you can just flank Feng Si and the others. Of course, Zhang Xianrong may also run to the north. But no one can say for sure."
Ling Fengsheng frowned and hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded: "Follow me if you know the truth. ——Your journey is more risky, so be careful."
She turned to Xu Yunji and waited.
Xu Yunji smiled and nodded at her, and walked north with Shen Xie and the seven or eight people behind him.
Push open the door on the north side, and on the other side is another room, which is very small, with only an arhat bed carved with dragon patterns in huanghuali.Then there is a bedside table with a charging lamp on it, which is on.The house was empty.
But the strange thing is that there are no other doors in this room, and it seems to be the end.
Xu Yunji pondered for a while and asked Shen Xie, "Did you find anything?"
Shen Xie closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them: "Does this bed need to be kept as a witness?"
He asked Yu Xiangying.The latter hesitated and said: "Keep the ones that can be kept first."
Xu Yunji cooperatively reached out to put the bed into the mustard space.
The bed was gone, and there was an open space underneath.A scrawled engraving was drawn with a light black charcoal pencil on the top, and a triangle was in the middle.
This time everyone can see the clue.
"It's the power of Tao again." Shen Xie said, "But this time it's not a rune used to cover up the secrets of heaven, it's used to open up space."
He flicked out three divine powers, hitting the three vertices of the core triangle of the rune respectively.
There was only a "click" sound, and the scribbled black runes on the ground faintly glowed with purple-black light, and the triangle in the center of the runes began to rotate clockwise, but it did not rotate very smoothly, but moved one by one like the second hand of a clock. Swipe down.
At the same time, there was a sound as if the gears connected to each other were touched one after another.
After each corner of the triangle rotated from its original position to the original position of the next corner, the sound of running stopped, followed by the position of the rune, which slowly collapsed downwards. Slowly lowering down, a piece with a length and width of seventy to eighty A square of centimeters, a hollow was exposed, which connected with a raised piece of loess below, forming a ladder.
A group of people walked in directly, stepping into the darkness.
Xu Yunji snapped his fingers and ignited a ray of light.
It was only then that everyone discovered that there was a very wide space below the cramped secret room above.The place where everyone is now is similar to an inverted pyramid at the corner where the two sides of the square at the top intersect. Each side of this inverted pyramid is about a dozen or 20 meters long. A flute extends to the bottom, and the four sides meet on a light blue fluorescent platform at the bottom.
On the steps from high to low on the four sides of the inverted pyramid, each floor is carved with winding lines, which are connected round by round along the steps, and the whole is spirally twisted and intertwined towards the center.
This engraving should be composed of the runes of Dao Power.The living beings after the prehistoric period are supposed to be unable to interpret and use this kind of runes, but Xu Yunji has been studying the seven-inch shaft of the dragon vein for a long time, and he is more or less familiar with these imprints.
——It’s like supervised machine learning. Shen Xie told him what each rune is. Although he neither understands nor uses it, he can put a label on it and know roughly “Oh, this is for China Unicom” Heavenly", "Oh, this is for absorbing dragon energy".
This information is stored in the minds of young people, just like in a database, which can be recalled without understanding its meaning.
At this moment, he looked at the runes on the steps he was stepping on, recognized several kinds, and doubts arose in his heart.I don't know if I didn't learn it well or what. Some of these runes echoed the runes placed on the other eight dragon veins, and they were all capable of stealing the origin of the dragon veins. Some seemed very cumbersome and useless, and even had a counterproductive effect.
It's just that he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he stopped paying attention for the time being and looked at the center below the inverted pyramid.
There is a large bronze tripod placed on the light blue platform at the bottom, which is not very real from a distance, but you can feel a terrifying power from a distance.
There is a soft seat behind the tripod, and there is a person sitting on it.
And there was another person standing next to this person.
Only then did Xu Yunji see the figure clearly, and Yu Xiangying beside him had already shouted out:
"Zhang Suxing! Zhang Xianrong!"
His tone sounded bitter mixed with anger:
"Zhang Xianrong, it really is you. I kept calling you 'the ancestor of the Zhang family'. At first, I couldn't believe it when Expert Xu told me! You are already one of the strongest people in the cultivation world. There is nothing lacking in power, and the Zhang family has also developed into the largest family. Who is not respectful when they see you? What are you trying to do? And you, Zhang Suxing! You have been cheating for more than ten years. Why concentrate on doing business, why don’t you ask about all things in the cultivation world, and the super management department asked you to be an expert several times, but you refused... It turns out that these things are happening behind the scenes!"
Yu Xiangying's temper was intense, obviously emotional to the extreme.
However, his big reaction, the two uncles and nephews of the Zhang family, one in their 90s and one in their 70s, just laughed it off.
The one sitting on the soft seat was a shriveled old man with thinning white hair on top of his head, but his face was as young as 50 years old, with a kind of white-haired and childlike face.Zhang Suxing already looked young because of his cultivation, the two stood and sat together, and there was no difference in age.
However, when Zhang Xianrong opened his mouth, his voice was extremely old, like dead wood being broken.
Zhang Xianrong said with a grin in that old voice: "Why are you so excited, Yu Si? Cultivating the truth, what are you looking for? It's nothing more than a word of ascension. If you still value money and status in the world, it's because you haven't detached yourself , Bewitched by this world of mortals, Dao heart is not firm. What the old man did was just to follow the Dao and seek longevity. On the contrary, you people, good cultivators, are both officials and riches, and are restricted by ordinary people's families and countries , how sad."
This reversal of black and white made Yu Xiangying very angry.
He stepped straight down, wanting to go down the stairs and go to the platform below to confront Uncle and Nephew Zhang Xianrong.
However, when he stepped on the next step, the step suddenly sank.Yu Xiangying stepped on the ground and fell down. It was Xu Yunji who had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed the clothes on his back to pull him back up.
"Don't move at will." Shen Xie said coldly, "This is an independent space created by the power of Tao. Everything you perceive with your senses is false. You think this is under the secret room, but in fact it is not at all. Not in the same place, it may be anywhere in Longling Mountain. The secret room just now is just an entrance. The power of Tao can deceive the Heavenly Dao and 'steal' this space from the land under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao. Here, all the well-known The laws of physics don’t count, you think you’re taking a step down, but you may actually move tens of meters.”
"As expected of Ying Long, what you said is good."
Shen Xie opened his mouth to attract Zhang Xianrong's attention.
He laughed and said: "The beast Yinglong. I have already heard from Su Xing that you have reappeared and have known your name for a long time. ——Look at you, the ancient beast, the king of ten thousand dragons, but now you are with a group of people who are not even immortal. It's pitiful and pitiful to be mixed together with other people."
Shen Xie simply ignored what he said, and only said:
"What about Chaos? Tell him to come out, you are not qualified to talk to me."
"Oh?" Zhang Xianrong was not annoyed when he heard such a blunt sentence, he chuckled twice, "As expected of a congenital beast. It's so arrogant. In terms of my cultivation, I'm not even worthy of carrying your shoes. It's just that I don't want to disturb your lord's sleep...Fortunately, this place was built by an adult, so it's barely enough to entertain you."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his palm at the platform under the soft seat.
This platform is the center where all the intricate engravings on the surrounding stairs converge, and he injected spiritual power into one of them.In an instant, indigo blue lighted up from the center of the platform, spread along the engraved pattern, and in an instant, it coiled from bottom to top, along the steps until it lit up the engraved runes on the topmost level.
And spread under the feet of everyone in an instant.
