This time, they were mentally prepared. When they found the human elixir cauldron in the second alchemy furnace, the three of them looked calm.
This man's alchemy cauldron also had a suture wound extending from his chin into his collar. Uncle Lin checked the corpse's belly and found that someone had disemboweled him and stolen the alchemy stone from his body.
There are a total of sixteen thick stone pillars in the main hall, and a total of sixteen alchemy furnaces are placed beside the sixteen thick stone pillars.
Sixteen alchemy furnaces are sixteen human alchemy furnaces. They only found the corpses of the last three human alchemy furnaces that had not been disemboweled. The rest were all disemboweled and had lost their internal organs.
And the traces of the stomach opening are still new.
"It seems that the last three human alchemy furnaces left behind were not discovered by the other party's conscience and stopped early. They probably saw us coming and ran out of time, so they finally stopped hastily." Jin An observed only the human alchemy furnace in front of him.
Ding, speak your mind.
When he was in Dongtian Paradise in Wuzhou Prefecture, Jin Anxin had a grudge and refused to eat the ginseng fruit. Now facing the elixir in the human elixir cauldron, Jin An acted calmly and was not obsessed with gain or wealth.
Uncle Lin behaved as calmly as Master Jingchan, and was not aroused by the elixirs buried in the Dantian in his abdomen.
Firstly, it is because of a grudge that I cannot think of dissecting the elixir from the corpse and then swallowing the elixir to help me practice. Only people who are not taboo on meat and vegetables or do no evil will not have enough interest in the corpse.
In awe, even if you disembowel your body, you will take away the elixir.
The second reason is because they don’t want to have too many causal connections with the Dan Luding of these people with tragic life experiences to avoid causing disasters.
Third, no matter what kind of magic elixir or elixir it is, if it had been buried in the human elixir for so long without the ancient sorcerers continuing to refine the elixir, I am afraid it would have been petrified and unusable.
In short, in one sentence, they are not crazy enough to destroy corpses to obtain elixirs for their own selfish interests, using any means necessary, and normal people will not eat things dissected from the stomachs of dead people.
"Every grievance has its own owner, and every debt has its own owner. If you really want to settle your grievances, go find the real culprits, not us. We will read the "Singing Sutra" to you once, which can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous." Every time Jin'an searches for an alchemy furnace, he will
Repeat this to the deceased.
After passing sixteen thick stone pillars, there is a larger Taishang Laojun Bagua alchemy furnace deep in the hall.
As a result, they arrived a step too late. The alchemy furnace had been opened artificially, and the human body inside was missing.
"Huh? Why is this alchemy furnace the only one without human elixirs? Is it because this alchemy furnace is so special that the entire human elixir furnace cauldron has been moved away?" Master Jingchan said with a hint of surprise.
Jin An pondered and spoke: "Is there a second possibility? The alchemy furnace cannot be sealed, and the corpse is causing trouble? Because this alchemy furnace is different from other alchemy furnaces, so the corpse is missing from here.
The alchemy furnace starts first."
Jin An's words made Uncle Lin and Master Jingchan re-evaluate their surroundings.
The disappearance of the human elixir cauldron was just a small episode. The three of them spent more energy studying whether there were other anomalies in the palace.
After looking around at them, they returned to the special alchemy furnace.
They began to carefully check every tiny detail in the alchemy furnace, and found that the inner wall of the alchemy furnace was covered with the word "正".
This is supposed to be used for timing purposes.
The inner wall of the alchemy furnace was covered with the Chinese character "正" (正), and after a rough scan, there were no less than a few thousand words, until the furnace was completely filled with characters and there was no place left for them to be engraved.
Jin An: "I have time to count the time, so I am not in a hurry. Could it be that this human elixir furnace was a voluntary one, so there were no restraints on my hands and feet when I became a human elixir furnace?"
While the three of them were still discussing other details of the alchemy furnace, a dull metallic sound suddenly sounded in the quiet hall.
"Um?"
The three people alertly jumped out of the alchemy furnace and stood on the edge of the furnace mouth, holding torches and looking down from a high place to check the situation.
The main hall is too big and empty, and the torch lighting is limited.
The three of them looked at each other and walked towards the place where the metal sound was heard.
It turned out that the top of the first alchemy furnace fell to the ground, and the heavy top made a shallow pit on the ground.
The expressions of the three people changed slightly, and they immediately jumped up to the alchemy furnace and looked inside to see what was going on. The torch illuminated a blue-gray human face with eyes open. When they saw that the human alchemy furnace cauldron was still sitting in the alchemy furnace intact, the three of them became serious.
His expression softened a little.
"What's going on? Why did the lid of this alchemy furnace fall to the ground?" Jin An frowned as he looked at the dead face with resentful eyes in the alchemy furnace.
"If you say it's because of overwhelming resentment, it doesn't make sense to open the alchemy furnace. If you really want to be full of resentment, you should have faked your body when someone disemboweled you to get the elixir."
"Could it be that the man who dissected the corpse to obtain the elixir has returned?"
"I think it's very likely that the evil spirit possessing Wang Zhuang is working secretly and wants to drag us into the bottomless cold pool of the God of Cause and Effect."
The three of them looked at the dead people in the alchemy furnace and discussed for a while.
At this time, Jin An stood up and held a torch to illuminate the surrounding area.
Uncle Lin looked at him and said, "Has Taoist Master Jin'an discovered anything?"
Jin An shook his head: "I just want to confirm again whether the other alchemy furnaces and cauldrons have been opened."
As soon as he finished speaking, whoosh, a figure flashed at the edge of the torch and rushed directly into the secret passage they came from.
Jin An looked happy. The end of the secret passage was a dead end. If the opponent ran into the secret passage at this time, it would be like catching a turtle in a urn. He called Uncle Lin and Master Jingchan and rushed out first to block the opponent's way.
Jin An was confident that he could block the opponent this time, but something strange happened. In the stone room at the end of the secret passage, except for a few bronze tablets, not even a single person was found.
This time, I clearly saw the other person rushing into the secret passage, but I still lost him.
It wasn't until they returned the same way and carefully searched for every dark corner that could be used to hide people that they discovered a dark cave above a certain section of the secret passage.
The cave didn't look like it was dug by humans, with uneven edges, but more like cracks in the mountain torn apart by an earthquake.
"It seems that the other party is hiding here!"
"But we have carefully checked the secret passage before, and there is absolutely no such crack in the mountain. When did this crack appear?"
"Perhaps the Qimen Dunjia Formation in the stone room has changed again. Now this secret passage is not the secret passage we walked before!"
Jin An strongly agreed with this conjecture. Whether it was the Qimen Dunjia that was changing or the old object like the Ancient God Yu that was alive and changing, you would know if it was changing if you went out and took a look.
This time they walked out of the secret passage, and the outside was really different. It was no longer an open palace with many Taishang Laojun's Bagua alchemy furnaces...
"This place has been changing all the time. Does it want to trap us in the ancient god's temple as a burial sacrifice?" Jin'an's eyes were cold, flashing with coldness, and his expression was a bit impatient with hide-and-seek.
