Chapter 253 Entering the secret place is to make a fortune (1)
In the secret place, there seemed to be only five large praying mantises as guardian beasts, and no other living creatures. There was no movement until both of them entered the palace.
Sun Qingxue seemed to be a little scared by what happened just now. Even after entering the palace, she still opened the protective magic weapon carefully, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
The same goes for Yang Chen, but it is much better than Sun Qingxue. After all, Jin Zhong will appear as long as he thinks about it, and will actively absorb attacks, which gives Yang Chen a lot more to rely on.
The palace is very large, and there seems to be an underground spiritual vein here, which causes the spiritual power in the secret place to be much higher than outside. It seems that it is for this reason that those big mantises can survive until now.
However, what is strange is that this sect has been extinct for at least ten thousand years, but those giant mantises have lived for tens of thousands of years and are still in the Nascent Soul stage. This is a bit confusing. Since they cannot advance to the Mahayana stage, they are still in the Nascent Soul stage.
It is obviously abnormal to have such a long lifespan.
But now is not the time to investigate these reasons. We have already entered the main hall, and it would be unreasonable not to search extensively.
There is a hall at the entrance of the palace, with several doors around it. However, the hall is empty, with only one well. A thick spiritual power overflows from the well, which is clearly a spiritual outlet. However, there is nothing arranged here.
There was dust everywhere in Bichen's formation, and if he stepped on it, it would be a few inches away.
There were no markings on the several gates, so it seemed that they could only go in one by one to investigate. Yang Chen scanned them with his spiritual consciousness and signaled Sun Qingxue to put away the flying sword. At the level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he used the self-defense magic weapon while using it.
It is indeed a bit tiring to use the flying sword.
This time, Yang Chen was supposed to be training Sun Qingxue, so it was naturally Sun Qingxue’s choice. Sun Qingxue happily opened the first door on the right, and Yang Chen walked in first, and took Sun Qingxue’s choice.
Get behind your own body.
This room looks like a study room, with bookshelves lined up on one of the surrounding walls.
However, there are only a few hundred jade slips covered with dust on the bookshelf and nothing else.
There used to be a mark of hanging calligraphy and painting on the wall next to it, but now it is empty, with only a broken scroll that is too decayed to be read.
Sun Qingxue curiously walked to the bookshelf and reached out to pick up a jade slip. As soon as her hand touched the bookshelf, the bookshelf turned into a pile of dust and dissipated. Fortunately, Sun Qingxue had been using the protective magic weapon and retreated in time.
, only then was he not surrounded by the rising smoke.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the jade slip. Sun Qingxue reluctantly used her spiritual sense to explore the contents of the jade slip, but found that she could not understand the things recorded in it. The crooked words were just like those on the secret key.
That kind of.
After thinking about it, Sun Qingxue handed the jade slips to Yang Chen. While Yang Chen was investigating, she stepped forward, collected all the jade slips scattered among the powder on the bookshelf, and sent them all to Yang Chen.
"These are the inheritance of this sect's exercises." Yang Chen read a few articles and shook his head: "There are many fallacies in the ancient exercises and they have no reference value!"
Just like in the cave in Qingqiong, these exercises are somewhat outdated and can no longer be compared with the current system of exercises. They don't even have reference value.
"It's useless for me to hold it anyway. Brother Yang, you should put it away!" Sun Qingxue knew that she didn't know these things, so she gave them all to Yang Chen. As for the skills, there are hundreds of thousands of them in the Qingyun Sect's Scripture Pavilion.
There is no need to refer to the exercises that existed thousands of years ago.
Yang Chen collected them indifferently. These things still have some value as antiques. If someone wants to sort out the changes in practice techniques, these are precious information but if they want to practice, then they are just looking for trouble.
The two looked around the room for a while, but found nothing worth taking away. Then they turned back to the hall and continued to enter the second portal.
As soon as you enter the door, you are faced with a huge embroidered cauldron that is more than two people tall. It is almost unnecessary to ask, this must be an alchemy room. On the other side of the wall are small stone compartments, and there should be things in them, but
These things were covered in dust, and it was hard to tell what they were for a while.
"Brother Yang, you are familiar with alchemy, so you should come and take a look!" Sun Qingxue looked at this scene and pushed Yang Chen forward.
Yang Chen was not polite. When it came to alchemy, there was no one in the world who had more knowledge than him, so he walked to the front without hesitation.
Walking to the side of the giant cauldron, Yang Chen reached out and touched the cauldron. He penetrated the body with his spiritual consciousness and soon got the result. He said to Sun Qingxue: "This alchemy furnace is of average quality, but the materials are pretty good.
Put it away!"
If Yang Chen could say that the material was good, then the material must be good. Sun Qingxue stepped forward happily and put the giant cauldron into the Qiankun bag. Then she watched Yang Chen walk to the stone grids over there and reach out one by one.
Investigate it.
Most of what is buried in the dust in these grids are medicinal materials. However, after tens of thousands of years have passed here, they have long since turned into powder, and together with the dust, it is impossible to tell them apart.
I searched several grids in a row, but the same thing happened. In ten thousand years, even the rarest elixirs turned into dust. But except for the big cauldron, there was nothing worth taking in the room.
The third door seemed larger than the other doors, and it seemed that it should lead to the master's room. However, as soon as Yang Chen entered, he saw a pair of big eyes almost right in front of him. Yang Chen was shocked and bright.
He quickly held the sword in his hand and blocked Sun Qingxue from outside with one hand.
When he was about to take action, he found that the other party was motionless. After taking a closer look, he realized that it was just the body of a big praying mantis. With his consciousness, Yang Chen quickly discovered that there were more than 20 big praying mantises in this room.
's corpse.
This is the only spotless room here. More than twenty large praying mantises are lined up in a row, almost all in the same posture. The huge body stands steadily, supported by six legs, like a stone sculpture.
generally.
"Oh my God!" Sun Qingxue also came in. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.
Yang Chen now knows why there are five big praying mantises in the Nascent Soul stage outside. It must be that the original guardian beast gave birth to little praying mantises when it felt that its life span was about to end. Then the little praying mantises grew up generation after generation.
After growing up to the Nascent Soul stage, no wonder Yang Chen was attacked as soon as he came in. It turned out that these mantises didn't know the rules at all.
