Chapter 693 Nine-story Palace
Su Ziyi and both of them were also shocked by the scene in front of them.
But they soon came back to their senses and realized that someone else would come in soon, so they immediately stepped forward to collect the magic weapons on the ground.
However, as soon as he took a step forward, he felt a sense of danger and immediately backed away quickly with Su Yulang beside him.
And at the moment he just retreated, the bunch of dazzling magic weapons suddenly glowed so brightly that people had to squint their eyes, and then there was only a dense crackling sound, "Boom——" There was an explosion. Suddenly, the entire ground shook, and fragments of various magic weapons clattered all over the ground.
It wasn't until everything calmed down that Su Ziyi let go of Su Yulang who was protected in his arms.
As soon as he was freed from Su Ziyi's arms, Su Yulang hurriedly pulled Su Ziyi's sleeve and said anxiously: "Father, are you okay?" The riot just now was so unexpected. If his father hadn't been protecting him, he would have been in a position where he was standing. That position, I'm afraid... Su Yulang was terrified when he thought about the consequences.
Su Ziyi shook his head, pursed his lips tightly and looked back.
The magical artifacts that were just all over the floor have turned into rubbish. On the contrary, this two-acre house is safe and sound. The floor and walls are obviously made of ordinary stone slabs, but they are surprisingly strong. Su Ziyi was too lazy to think about the tragic murders that had occurred elsewhere. His eyes were focused on the only exit of this room - a corridor leading deeper.
He said: "Let's go and have a look inside."
They had to hurry up. Just now, his consciousness had detected that someone was approaching the mountain, and he was afraid that he was planning to enter here from the palace above. Although Su Ziyi was not afraid of them, he did not want to have any unnecessary disputes with those people at this time and cause terrible losses.
After all, there seems to be more mystery here than meets the eye.
Flying forward along this corridor, in less than half a cup of tea, the vision suddenly opened up. Su Yulang, who was following Su Ziyi, opened his mouth uncontrollably. He stared at everything in front of him in stunned silence, stammering a little. Said: "This... this is..." This is such a magnificent scene. Su Yulang has never seen such a majestic and magnificent palace in his life.
This side of the world seemed to be another open secret realm. You couldn't see the sky when you looked up, only the dark rock walls, but the entire space was larger than a mountain, completely exceeding the size they could estimate on the ground. An overlapping gorgeous palace was located at the end of the sight, separated from them by an abyss that was more than ten feet wide. Only nine red exquisite wooden arch bridges spanned it, connecting the two ends.
The wooden bridge pillars are also carved with complicated patterns. A lifelike red wooden bird raises its wings and opens its sharp beak, as if it is about to fly. This is simply not a level of skill that ordinary craftsmen can achieve, not to mention the complicated totems painted on the palace walls and the exquisite ornaments hanging from the eaves. There is no place that is not exquisite and elegant. People are amazed.
What makes people feel even more luxurious is that the beaks of the red wooden birds on the wooden bridge pillars and everywhere in the palace are inlaid with beads that emit hazy white light, illuminating the entire cave.
Su Yulang counted carefully and found that the palace in front of him had nine floors in total, and on the top floor, the golden roof turned into layers of scales, stacked from all sides to the middle, getting higher and higher, and finally gathered into A cylindrical shape, rushing straight towards the top of the cave. I looked down until I saw the top, and I was shocked to realize that this was actually a golden-scaled python! The back of the neck is pressed against the wall of the cave, and the long mouth faces downwards. The fangs and long teeth are carved in extremely realistic ways. Set against the pair of snake eyes that make people feel terrified just by looking at them, they look even more terrifying. , making Su Yulang always feel that this snake might pounce on them at any time and swallow them.
Su Ziyi was also shocked by what he saw in front of him.
But - "Let's go." He pulled Su Yulang, who was still in a daze, and the two of them stepped onto the nearest red wooden bridge. After making sure that there were no traps on the bridge, they appeared on the opposite side of the bridge in a few flashes. And just as the two of them stepped onto the ground on the other side, a dozen people rushed out from several exits!
It turns out that there is more than one entrance to this palace.
Su Ziyi guessed that the entrances under several other intact palaces should be able to lead here.
However, he is not in the mood to think about this now. He just wants to stay away from those latecomers and avoid direct conflict. After all, except for them, the other cultivators are basically from aristocratic families. Even if they are competing fiercely now, in the face of opportunity, they will still be the first to bear the brunt of joining forces to deal with the two outsiders.
Therefore, it is better to leave first.
As soon as those who came later entered the place, just like Su Yulang, they were immediately shocked to the spot. They did not expect that such a large palace would appear here. When they thought about finding nothing outside, everyone almost instantly concluded that there were a lot of resources hidden here, and immediately even looked at the glowing beads in the red bird's mouth on the wooden bridge. They looked at it differently and became extremely eager.
However, their sanity still exists.
After experiencing everything outside, he would not be so naive as to think that there was no defense here, so his eyes suddenly became wary. However, despite this hint of vigilance, after they saw two figures flashing into the palace from the corner of their eyes, the thread in their minds immediately broke, and they chased after them without thinking at all.
Su Ziyi, who had driven straight in, was also surprised.
He entered the palace directly without encountering any obstacles.
However, he did not feel complacent about this. Instead, he immediately noticed that something was wrong. The interior of the palace is as magnificent as its exterior, and every part is luxurious to the extreme. It has been hidden underground for who knows how many years, but the whole room is glowing, and all kinds of magic weapons and spiritual treasures seem to be free of charge. They are placed everywhere, making people dizzy just by looking at them.
"Oh my god..." Su Yulang was completely stunned: "Is this all true?"
If these things are all his, then he will probably be able to break through to the middle stage of foundation building soon and become the golden elixir stage like his father. It is not impossible for practitioners. Suddenly, his eyes became more and more eager, and he walked forward uncontrollably. But before he had even taken two steps, he was grabbed from behind. He looked back with a dreamy expression on his face and saw Su Ziyi looking at him with a livid face.
"Father...?"
Su Ziyi pressed his hand hard, and Su Yulang, who felt a sharp pain, immediately woke up from his dream. Afterwards, he realized how ugly he had just been. In an instant, his face turned livid, and he looked at all the luxury in front of him with an unkind expression. The previous scene of the magic weapon explosion was still vivid in his mind. Why did he have such a short memory?
Moreover, he has never been a person who is overly materialistic. In the Xuan Cang Sect, he faced so many magic weapons every day and never took a second look at them. How come here, his self-control is as thin as paper?
I'm afraid there's something weird about these things.
Su Yulang's face condensed when he realized something was wrong, and he turned around and apologized to Su Ziyi. When Su Ziyi saw that he had woken up, his expression improved slightly. However, at this time, he had realized that this palace was not a place where they could interfere. Either there really is a big opportunity here, or it's all a cover, a scam.
But no matter which one it is, now they only have one choice.
"Let's go!" The people behind were almost catching up, so Su Ziyi made a decisive decision and took Su Yulang upstairs. He had to find a place to hide his and Su Yulang's auras first, so that they could be preserved in the subsequent brawl. He didn't believe that so many cultivators wouldn't be tempted after entering here and finding so many treasures, and they wouldn't snatch and fight for them.
Next, this palace is expected to receive a baptism of blood soon.
The level on the second floor is no worse than the first floor, even better. Even the spiritual plants planted in the flower pots look extraordinary, and the branches and leaves are shining with light as if they have been coated with a layer of gold powder. Su Ziyi only glanced at it and found that it was not any kind of spiritual plant that he knew. He immediately withdrew his gaze and led Su Yulang to the third floor.
At this time, there were already people below.
And just like Su Ziyi thought, as soon as everyone rushed in, they were immediately blinded by everything in front of them, especially those who were not firm enough, and immediately stepped forward to reach out to get it. As for those who were more vigilant, after seeing that these people did not encounter anything wrong until they received the magic weapon in the storage bag, they suddenly became much less defensive and leaned on it tentatively. past.
On Su Ziyi's side, the expression on his face became more and more serious.
When he was on the first floor, the magic weapons he saw were just magic weapons, but now on the fourth floor, they were all at the level of spiritual weapons! Although the number is not as large as the following, there are still twenty or thirty, which may be more than the total number of spiritual treasures collected by all the forces in the entire Yuan Kingdom. Therefore, after seeing these spiritual treasures like It was placed here like an ornament, how could he not be horrified? !
He simply couldn't imagine what level of magic weapons he would encounter in the next few floors.
However, he had no time to think about it. He had already felt that there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the cultivators who came behind. Because they had the same concerns as him, they were coming up quickly, and because there were several golden elixir stage cultivators among them, the other party's The speed is not slow, and in the blink of an eye, we have reached the third floor!
Su Ziyi's eyes changed, he grabbed Su Yulang with one hand and rushed towards the fifth floor!
Chapter 694 White bones and black forehead
At this moment, the first and second floors have become a carnival place for low-level practitioners.
There are many magic weapons, and everyone has a chance to get them. Even if you are a latecomer and can't get a place on the first floor, you can go directly to the second floor. This has greatly indulged the greed of some small and medium-sized aristocratic families, allowing them to stretch out their hands more and more frequently.
Take more. As long as they take more, the family will be stronger, and they themselves will also...
While the people below were immersed in the carnival in their hearts, Su Ziyi had already tried his best, because he discovered that, Among the few golden elixir stages who were chasing after them, there were a few familiar faces among the lucky ones - it was the three Xu who chased the two of them into the waterfall formation in order to avenge their backs. The surname is Jin Dan!
The three people also recognized Su Ziyi and immediately chased after him.
Faced with the relentless pursuit of the three men, Su Ziyi had no choice but to speed up his escape with Su Yulang. They passed through the fifth and sixth floors and went directly to the seventh floor. But here, what is lying around is no longer a spiritual weapon, but a horcrux! When seeing such a treasure, even Su Ziyi, who was already worried and restrained, would inevitably have his breathing a little messed up, let alone the immature Su Yulang.
Immediately, Su Yulang started struggling in Su Ziyi's arms.
"Don't move!" Su Yulang's confusion immediately made Su Ziyi wake up, growled with a tigerish face, and then continued to go up. He wanted to see what the ninth floor was like. If there was no exit from the ninth floor, then he wanted to see whether he was ruthless or those three people were more ruthless.
After making a decision in his heart, Su Ziyi's expression turned even worse.
The three people chasing Su Ziyi also felt uncomfortable, because there were also golden elixirs from other aristocratic families who came upstairs with them. Although everyone held the idea that there would be better things above, when they saw the Horcrux appearing around them, their breaths were already a little hot, and naturally some people would directly grab it.
If one person grabs it, there will naturally be a second and third one.
Seeing this unique treasure fall into other people's pockets, the three of them felt a little angina, and they hated Su Ziyi even more. But at the same time, I also had a bit of luck in my heart, thinking that if these people were fighting for it below, all the treasures upstairs would be theirs, and it wouldn't be a loss at that time.
But what no one expected was that when Su Ziyi broke into the ninth floor, what appeared in front of him was an empty room.
And this room is very small, much smaller than it looks from the outside, like an attic. There is no window around, only a candlestick placed in the corner of the surrounding walls, with fist-sized night pearls placed on them, illuminating the room. Therefore, the formation that appeared in the middle of the room became particularly eye-catching.
"This is this?" Su Yulang was still clamped under Su Ziyi's arm with one hand at this moment, but his eyes had returned to clarity. He looked at the formation in a daze, frowning and said, "Teleportation formation?" It looked like they had at first
. The teleportation array seen in Nishigu seems to be somewhat similar.
Su Ziyi also immediately discovered the similarity between the two. However, he didn't have time to wait for Su Yulang to confirm, because the three people were already about to catch up. Therefore, with the mentality of giving it a try, he directly took out nine spirit stones from the storage bag and placed them on the teleportation array. Immediately, the teleportation array that was just like a dead object was activated. A layer of white light gradually appeared, and Su Ziyi Without thinking, he jumped in with Su Yulang.
Then my heart relaxed.
It's a teleportation array.
But at the end when he was teleported away, he saw the three golden elixir practitioners looking furious.
I'm afraid they never dreamed that the ninth floor would be like this. If they didn't want to return empty-handed and didn't have the absolute confidence to stop him and catch up with him, the three of them had no choice but to retreat. Down below, more cultivators had heard about it and started fighting one after another.
At this time, Su Ziyi and Su Yulang had arrived at a place they had never imagined.
"This is..." Su Yulang blinked and turned to look at his father, trying to get an answer from Su Ziyi. And Su Ziyi didn't expect that the teleportation array did not teleport them outside, but instead came to a place similar to a secret room?
The size of this place is exactly the same as the ninth floor of the palace just now, but this time it is not empty, but there is a man in a long robe sitting there. Looking at the pattern of the robe, it was exactly the same as what they had seen on the faceless stone sculpture in the palace outside! It's just that the man's back is facing them, and they don't know if the other person's face is also blank.
In front of the other party, there were still yellowed parchment rolls scattered on the ground.
There is not a magic weapon here, nor is there a spiritual grass. Compared with the ones I have seen before, it is simply boring. But after noticing the solemn look on Su Ziyi's face, Su Yulang didn't dare to have any too presumptuous thoughts. He just watched Su Ziyi walk towards it step by step. When he stood on the opposite side, he was stunned.
Su Yulang also walked over curiously.
"This!"
Su Yulang felt like goosebumps were rising all over his body! Over the years, due to his cultivation, he has seen many corpses and skeletons, but he has never seen anything like this - the robes are faded and old, but the bones are as white as jade, with a visual appearance. Cool feeling. But that's not the most astonishing thing. The most astonishing thing is that the forehead of such a perfect skeleton is completely black, like ink!
Suddenly, countless thoughts flashed through Su Yulang's mind.
Was this man poisoned?
...
While Su Yulang was still thinking wildly, Su Ziyi had already woken up. He took out a hosta from his storage bag. Even when he was close to it without touching it, the entire front end of the hosta was completely black.
"Boom!" As soon as he let go, the hairpin fell to the ground and immediately broke into several pieces.
Su Yulang on the side was completely dumbfounded.
"Is it such a powerful poison?" he murmured to himself. Su Ziyi, after careful observation, shook his head: "This is not poison." But his expression was even scarier than when he saw poison: "It is cold air." It was absolute, so pure that it was beyond belief. Compared with the cold air that everyone imagined, the bit he absorbed back then was nothing.
"Don't touch it." Su Ziyi looked very serious.
This cold and gloomy aura was far beyond his imagination. Not to mention Su Yulang, it was him who almost sealed his fate as soon as he touched it. I don't know what kind of cultivation the owner of this skeleton had during his lifetime, but he was able to condense all the cold and cold energy into his forehead bones and not dissipate after death.
When Su Ziyi thought of this, he was in awe of this man.
Since the skeleton could not be moved, Su Ziyi simply lowered his head to look at the parchment scrolls on the ground. These parchment scrolls are not empty, but are filled with a lot of content, and even a lot of pictures. Su Ziyi reached out and picked up a scroll, and found that the words on it were ancient words again, similar to the words on rubbings and unnamed tombstones.
Su Ziyi's eyes changed instantly.
He gathered all the parchment scrolls on the ground together, and he and Su Yulang retreated to the place furthest away from the bones and sat down. The teleportation array is still there. Although he doesn't know if it will be teleported back to the ninth floor if activated this time, for the sake of caution, he still doesn't plan to leave here for the time being. If the three Jindan cultivators named Xu catch up, he will directly throw the bones over and let them taste the cold air on them.
Just like that, he sat directly in the corner and read the contents on the parchment scrolls with the help of the light of the night pearl.
The content on this stack of parchment scrolls was much greater than the content on the rubbings and unnamed tombstones, and there were more obscure words in it, so it was very difficult for Su Ziyi to read. However, after spending a lot of effort, he still understood a lot of content. For example, the owner of this skeleton had actually been working on solving the coldness in his body during his lifetime, and had done various things to solve them. Kind of experimentation and effort.
The parchment did not tell the origin of the other party, nor did it explain why the other party was entangled in the cold air.
Su Ziyi could only feel that the other party did not reject the cold air, and even vaguely wanted to use the cold air to achieve some purpose. This was a little different from what Su Ziyi had thought before, and even thinking about it in a worse direction, the cold air in the other party's body was most likely something the other party wanted to be contaminated by and actively absorbed.
And when you think about it, it becomes even more terrifying.
However, as he read, even if he couldn't understand everything, Su Ziyi also got some subtle feelings - it seemed that the person who wrote these words was not very decent? Many of the methods in it seem to be the style of evil cultivators, and they also involve a lot of formations. They look like blood sacrifices or something like that.
At this moment, Su Ziyi was completely confused about this so-called Sanshan Immortal Palace ruins.
Specifically, this palace.
By the time Su Ziyi walked out of the parchment, several days had passed. However, because they have been staying in this small room that is not connected to the outside world, they can't figure out what time it is now. However, judging from Su Yulang's bored look, a lot of time has passed, and a lot of things must have happened outside. And since the three golden elixirs have not caught up yet, then either they have encountered Other accidents, or the pursuit was abandoned.
Regardless, it was time for them to leave.
