"Huh? According to the records above, strange epidemics began to appear in the Qicheng area a hundred years ago..."
Su Chen shrank his eyes. It was only a few decades ago that the descendants of the Zhaoyang Empire set foot on the Central Continent. In other words, there were no descendants of the Zhaoyang Empire on the Central Continent a hundred years ago.
In other words, this epidemic should have nothing to do with the descendants of the Zhaoyang Empire. If the source of the living corpse poison comes from this epidemic, it means that it is not the descendants of the Zhaoyang Empire who brought the living corpse poison.
Instead of the Central Continent, it was the living corpse poison that originally existed in the Central Continent.
"If this is the case, then it is hoped that the ultimate antidote to the poison of the living corpse can be found within the Central Continent!"
Su Chen knows that all things in the world are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, which contains extremely mysterious principles. For a poison that grows in nature, the antidote that can restrain it often grows not far away from it. This is a rule recognized by the alchemy world.
.
Although the poison of the living corpse is an artificially prepared poison, its raw materials also come from nature.
If the raw materials of this living corpse poison do not come from Central Continent, then this living corpse poison may not be able to be solved in Central Continent. Even if the elixir is still alive, it will be in vain, because there is no corresponding antidote raw materials in Central Continent.
But if it's the other way around, as long as the source of the living corpse poison comes from the Central Continent, then the matching ultimate antidote will definitely be found in the Central Continent.
This news made Su Chen very excited.
"The source of everything must be attributed to the strange epidemic that appeared in Qicheng."
Su Chen looked at Doctor Lu and asked, "Uncle Lu, do you know where the epidemic in Qicheng came from? Who was the first person to contract the disease? Are there any relevant records?
?”
"I'm not sure about this."
Doctor Lu shook his head and said, "However, there are old people in the city who have lived to be hundreds of years old. They may remember what happened at that time. You might as well ask!"
Ordinary people, as long as their cultivation level is below the Lingtai realm, their life span is similar to that of people who don't cultivate at all.
Even if you reach the Lingtai realm, your life span will only be increased by twenty years.
It was only after the warrior reached the realm of life and death that his longevity improved dramatically, and he was completely separated from the ranks of ordinary people.
In a small place like Qicheng, only the city lord and a few other powerful people reached the realm of life and death. Among ordinary people, there is definitely no realm of life and death.
Therefore, it is extremely rare for an old man to live to be over a hundred years old.
Under the guidance of Dr. Lu, Su Chen found a long-lived old man in the city.
This old man is one hundred and six years old, which is considered to be a long-lived existence among ordinary people. But even so, when the epidemic first appeared a hundred years ago, this old man was just a child who just remembered things. Regarding what happened at that time,
There are many that I can’t remember clearly.
From the old man's memories, Su Chen also learned that the initial appearance of the epidemic seemed to be related to a spiritual mine outside the city.
The first person to contract the disease was a miner in the Spirit Mine.
After getting the information, Su Chen set off alone to the spiritual mine mentioned by the old man.
The Ling Mine has a history of hundreds of years, and the Ling Stones in it were mined decades ago. Now only the abandoned mine remains.
Su Chen came to the underground mine. This underground mine had been abandoned for decades. It was deserted, dark, damp, and covered with spider webs.
But even if
At this time, Su Chen felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart while walking in the mine. It was as if there was an aura lingering in his heart in the mine, making him feel an indescribable annoyance in his heart.
Feeling of evil.
When this happened, Su Chen knew that there must be something strange in this underground mine.
"small stone!"
Su Chen called out, and Shi Ling automatically jumped out of the mustard space and stood beside him, protecting him like a majestic guard.
In this way, one person and one stone spirit walked towards the depths of the mine.
Soon after, Su Chen and Shi Ling arrived at the end of the mine, and there was no road ahead.
"Dong dong dong."
Su Chen knocked on the surrounding well walls with his hands, and soon he discovered that one well wall was different from other places. The sound when knocked was clearer and clearer, and it was obviously hollow inside.
"It seems that there should be a secret room inside."
Su Chen's hands groped on the well wall for a while, but could not find the corresponding mechanism. However, he was not discouraged.
"There is no mechanism of the secret room on the wall of the well, which means that the mechanism of the secret room is elsewhere."
Su Chen looked down and saw criss-crossing cracks on the ground beneath his feet.
He looked at it intently for a moment and then discovered the problem.
"No, these are not cracks, but the lines of the formation. This entrance was opened using the formation!"
Su Chen's eyes lit up and he secretly called for good luck. He happened to have read about this formation in the "Hundred Formations Heavenly Book" and it was an unpopular Bagua Formation used to hide the entrance to the secret room.
Now that we know it's a formation, it's easy to handle.
Su Chen used his formation attainments in his previous life and the formation attainments he gained from the "Hundred Formations Heavenly Book" in this life to follow the formation patterns on the ground and push back bit by bit.
This method of inferring the formation is similar to using the finished elixir to infer the elixir recipe. It requires trying to deduce the intention of the person who made the elixir or the person who set up the elixir from the existing clues in order to crack the elixir recipe.
Or break the effect of the formation.
Although this process is not too difficult for Su Chen, it is very consuming.
Once a little mistake is made, the result may be a huge mistake.
Moreover, the pattern of this formation is very complex.
The person who set up the formation obviously did not set up the formation to be cracked by later people. Therefore, the difficulty of cracking the formation was also set very high, and there were many techniques used to confuse people.
Su Chen concentrated his attention, and he found out and solved all these confusing places one by one.
"There!"
About half a day later, Su Chen finally found the location of the birth gate of the Bagua formation.
At that moment, his body was like lightning, shooting in that direction. The Emperor Wu's broken sword in his hand stabbed the void in that direction fiercely.
Wow!
The tip of the sword trembled violently as if it had pierced something real.
The next moment, like a stone being thrown into the calm water, densely packed runes suddenly emerged there. The runes were like countless moving black insects, suspended and squirming in mid-air.
Whoosh!
With a thought in his mind, Su Chen activated the "Ten Thousand Swords Rushing" sword intention, and countless sword lights surged in, hitting the densely packed black runes continuously. "Huh? According to the records above, strange things began to appear in Qicheng area.
The epidemic happened a hundred years ago..."
Su Chen shrank his eyes. It was only a few decades ago that the descendants of the Zhaoyang Empire set foot on the Central Continent. In other words, there were no descendants of the Zhaoyang Empire on the Central Continent a hundred years ago.
