Taihao Gold Medal

Chapter 269 Ancient Cave Mansion (Thanks to the reader Master Gotique for the reward!)

Wang Zilong has a treasure that can lead people to fly in groups. It is similar to the Zhangjiadu Yunqi. It is called Shuiyun Ling. It is a fourth-order magic weapon with various uses.

Controlled by a cultivator in the Purple Mansion Realm, she can take her four disciples to fly away, which hardly affects the agility and speed of escape. If it weren't for this magic weapon, their group would not be able to support Zhang Lie.

It will take more than ten days to return from Chongyun Mountain to Hanshan County. Although Zhang Lie thinks it is a bit slow, supplemented by the sword energy to split the atmosphere and speed up, it can only suppress this time to nine days. Speed ​​is definitely not a good experience for the other four people except Wang Zilong.

It's just that they also knew that they and others slowed down the speed, so they didn't dare to say anything more.

Wang Zilong let go of the control authority of the magic weapon, and she and Zhang Lie took turns to control it separately. It was just that the first few days were fine, but after a little longer, Wang Zilong, who had been seriously injured and had not recovered much, couldn't take it anymore. Zhang Lie repeatedly extended the duration of his control of the magic weapon, but it was not enough.

On this day, a female disciple of Wang Zilong was very filial. She saw the embarrassment of the master, first discussed with the other three brothers and sisters, and then came to the side of the master Wang Zilong and said:

"Master, in the past few days we have also adjusted our breathing to restore some mana, why don't you take a rest today, and the four of us brothers and sisters will join forces. Although it is definitely not as fast as you and Uncle Zhang, it will not be delayed. distance."

"...Forget it, Li'er, you guys have a heart."

After pondering for a while, Wang Zilong also released the control of the magic weapon to her four disciples, while she went to the back to meditate and adjust her breath. Although Zhang Lie noticed this, he didn't say anything.

After all, Wang Zilong is her senior sister, and it is also an objective fact that her body and spirit have been severely damaged.

The two parties have been getting along for a while, but Zhang Lie still didn't write down the names of Wang Zilong's four disciples. This is also the usual attitude of high-level monks towards low-level monks. Even if they meet each other in the future, Zhang Lie's words will only be :

"Are you a disciple of Senior Sister Wang Zilong?"

Then the other party responded with the ceremony, which one of Wang Zilong's disciples was he.

Unless one of them is particularly outstanding, or has an outstanding status and background, it is difficult for low-level monks to make any friendship with high-level monks. High-level monks rarely have to use which low-level monks. , Low-level monks can obtain many things.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and immortal cultivators are the same. In order to reduce troubles, naturally the higher the level of immortal cultivators, the more indifferent they will appear.

If you are too approachable, I don't know how many things are required of you.

After Shui Yunling was controlled by four foundation-building monks, the height and speed of the flying escape dropped significantly, but the magic weapon became much more stable, which also helped Zhang Lie and Wang Zilong to recover.

Although Zhang Lie wanted to return to Hanshan County as soon as possible to deliver the task, and then return to the family immediately, but he did not dare to consume too much spiritual power outside the family and sect. The world of Tongxuan cultivation has never been a peaceful place. land.

When Wang Zilong's two disciples, Wang Jie and Murong Li controlled the magic weapon to fly, they passed a mountain with dense forests, and Wang Jie had pupil art.

When a group of people passed by, he faintly sensed a wave of spiritual energy, and subconsciously shot a burst of mana in that direction.

But as soon as the magic power that was just a test was shot, something happened when it landed on the illusion restriction.

Suddenly, dozens of spells flew towards him in the void, including fireballs, thunderballs, wind blades, and ice knives. Although they were not high-level spells, just this number was enough to kill Wang Jie. .

It's just that although Zhang Lie was meditating and recuperating, he couldn't watch Wang Jie die. He raised his hand and shot out sword energy, and the sword light swept obliquely like a moon and rainbow, instantly breaking these spells.

"Why don't you go quickly?"

"Ah... follow orders, uncle."

Only then did Wang Jie and Murong Li want to control the magic weapon to retreat quickly, but then the second wave of magic came back.

Zhang Lie was immediately annoyed. Wang Jie's previous attack was a bit reckless, but the other party's attack was enough, and a second wave?
Zhang Lie's cultivation and perception are far superior to Wang Jie's. Before that, he was just working hard to restore his spiritual consciousness and mana.

At this moment, with just a scan of his consciousness, he discovered that there were dozens of monks hidden in this illusion restriction, surrounded by a cave, as if they were exploring an ancient cave.

Exploring ancient caves is very common in the world of cultivating immortals. After all, casual cultivators with no background or sect occupy a large proportion of the world of cultivating immortals. Many of them practice hard for a lifetime, but find that their lifespan is exhausted and their families have not been established. , In the end, I can only record all I have learned and even inferred in my life in the Taoist scriptures, and seal it in the cave for fate.

Among them, there are indeed many not weak inheritances and good magic tools.

"At first, I never wanted to snatch your chance, but since you have repeatedly offended me, let's all stay and suffer."

As he said that, Zhang Lie sacrificed his spirit beast bag. Originally, he used such a low-level spirit beast bag to control a high-level monster like He Luoyu. Will be backlashed.

Many monsters are even willing to die, rather than being imprisoned in a spirit beast bag forever.

However, this end of Zhang Lie was taken away by Zhang Xiangshen to warm up after leaving the Wushen Realm, and became less hostile after returning. Zhang Xiangshen also said that he could get it every once in a while. He dispelled the hostility once, although he couldn't fully exert all the power that He Luoyu should have, but he could let Zhang Lie control it freely.

Although Zhang Lie was also curious about the secret method, every monk had his own secrets, and Zhang Xiangshen didn't take the initiative to explore his own, so Zhang Lie naturally maintained enough respect for the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen.

There are dozens of monks in front of the gate of this ancient cave, but none of them are of a high level of cultivation. The highest cultivation level is only around the foundation building level. In front of them, He Luoyu, who is at the peak of the fourth level, can be called a demon The air is monstrous and fierce.

The endless black water vortex of the vast ocean was suppressed, but in an instant, it enveloped this group of people layer by layer, suppressing them all.

It was only at this moment that these people all looked ashen, knowing that they had provoked a powerful enemy that they could not afford to provoke.

Before Zhang Lie fought with the jade-robed female cultivator who practiced Taiyin's body shape, the two sides fought at close quarters with quick strikes, a thousand strikes in an instant, so it was not that Zhang Lie didn't use He Luoyu at that time, but that if he In that situation, if he sacrificed He Luoyu, he would probably be beaten to death by the other party Shi Mo, but the situation was different.

…………

Dozens of monks were suppressed by Zhang Lie in an instant, not to mention escaping, not even a single one died, which shows that the strength gap between the two sides is unimaginably large, and the eyes of Wang Zilong's four disciples became more and more awed.

In comparison, Wang Zilong, who is also a monk of the Zifu, is in a slightly better state. Although he is also shocked in his heart, he can finally keep calm on his face.

"Junior Brother Zhang, what do you plan to do with these people?"

"The restriction of this ancient cave has been worn away by them, and it is only a couple of steps away from being completely broken. Enslave them and continue to help me break the formation. If the things inside can satisfy me and my senior sister, I will let it go." If they can't do it, then each of them will give out a thousand spirit stones to buy their lives, and if they can't, then feed them to He Luoyu."

Hearing this, Wang Zilong pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Thanks to Junior Brother Zhang for taking care of me on this journey, I don't have the face to share the treasures in this cave. I will rest here to recover my mana. It's just that my four disciples invite Junior Brother Zhang Take care of them more and let them learn more."

Wang Zilong knew that she had been dragged down a lot this time, although she was a little unclear why Zhang Lie was in a hurry to return to Hanshan County, but Wang Zilong decided to take advantage of these two days to adjust his breath, so as not to really hate the amazing junior in front of him, Not easy to get along with in the future.

Rather than letting Wang Zilong reluctantly return with such a lack of mana, it would be better to let her return for two days, so that she can return in one go, but it will be faster.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Zhang Lie wanted to break open the ancient cave. After all, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. As for the inheritance and magic tools inside, Zhang Lie didn't care much.

Among the captured monks, a few with the strongest cultivation bases were restricted, and they were asked to protect Wang Zilong. If they made a mistake, they would undoubtedly die.

The rest of the people continued to explore this ancient monk's cave with Zhang Lie and other five people.

"It should be a cave left by a cultivator in the Purple Mansion Realm. It doesn't seem to be very murderous. Otherwise, if the outer layer of restriction is broken, there will be almost no cultivator casualties."

"I hope I can get a suitable magic weapon, otherwise even a day or two will be a waste of time."

This ancient cave was opened up quite large, and a small mountain was almost hollowed out, but it may be because of this that it was discovered. After all, the larger the cave, the harder it is to hide.

With the continuous development of the southern wasteland, more and more monks are now appearing in the deep mountains and valleys thousands of years ago.

Of course, more and more ancient monk caves were discovered during this process, some of which were good and some of which were extremely bad.

The best ancient monk caves were built by moral monks. There is almost no prohibition on killing people in the cave, but if it is just a defense ban, there are always various ways to eliminate it and finally obtain the inheritance of ancient monks.

The extremely poor ancient monk cave was built by the monks of the magic way. The cave is almost full of prohibitions on killing people, and there is almost nothing valuable in the heritage. If there is any, there is likely to be some conspiracy means.

Orthodox monks have to cultivate to the realm of Nascent Soul to turn calamity, and demon monks who have cultivated to the realm of Golden Core will have a lot of seizing magic. Obsession, but the magic cultivators who are close to life don't care about these things. Almost none of them don't practice hard, and even kill all their relatives and descendants, just to increase the possibility of success in the transformation.

As time went by, everyone explored more and more deeply, and Zhang Lie gradually realized that this cave was not a trap for demon cultivators, but left behind by orthodox monks.

Otherwise, by this time, according to the habits of demon cultivators, people should have died one after another.

Walking on the edge of the rocky cliff, there are faint lights spreading from the solar flare stones on the mountain wall in the cave. After hundreds or even thousands of years, the sunlight stored in these solar flare stones has long been exhausted, and even if they are all dug out To re-exposure to the sun, more than half of them will not be able to restore the previous color.

At this moment, Zhang Lie noticed a light blue mist rising from the back cave, and the blue mist quickly merged into the air and dissipated invisible. The four disciples of Senior Sister Wang Zilong still walked forward unaware However, with their mana perception, they couldn't detect the murderous intent.

"Be careful, it's poisonous!"

After all, they are his own juniors, Zhang Lie pulled his five fingers on the palm of his sleeve, and the four disciples of Senior Sister Wang Zilong were pulled back forcibly by a force of suction.

However, those local monks who dispersed did not have such good luck. Although Zhang Lie reminded them in time, a few people still inhaled a few mouthfuls of poisonous gas, and they were immediately fascinated. They soaked in the poisonous gas for a long time, Even the flesh body quickly melted to reveal bones.

"What a poisonous formation!"

"It should have been refined from the uplift of the local earth's energy, and it has been guided by the situation. It is only after hundreds of years of accumulation of poison that it has such an effect."

Zhang Lie looked around, frowned slightly, and then a golden Dao pattern faintly appeared between his brows.

The ability of the Haotian Dharma Eye can only be regarded as a small success in the Golden Core Realm, and it can only be regarded as a foundation in the Zifu Realm, but even these foundations have already brought Zhang Lie the sword heart, the power of the sky pupil Because of these powerful supernatural powers, Zhang Lie usually doesn't like to use Haotian Dharma for the purpose of maintaining Dharma eyes and reducing unnecessary consumption of pupil power.

Of course, it is not necessarily impossible to use.

With the appearance of the dao pattern, the purpose of the Haotian method was faintly opened, and the truth of the poison formation in front of Zhang Lie was gradually revealed in front of Zhang Lie.

Indeed, as I had guessed before, the original owner of this cave mansion took advantage of the situation, centered on the residence, and formed an array on the entire mountain, absorbing all the poisonous miasma of this mountain.

Accompanied by the accumulation of a long time, the poison surrounding the center of the formation became stronger and stronger, and finally turned into intangible. Compared with other restrictions in the cave here, this is the core protection restriction.

"However, although this formation is poisonous, it is also in line with the law of nature. It is not a method of magic, but it has been accumulated over a long period of time."

"The four of you are waiting here, and I will go back as soon as I go."

After exhorting the four disciples of Senior Sister Wang Zilong, Zhang Lie flew up, and amidst the exclamations of the people around him, he crashed into the terrifying poison formation that was almost infinitely looping and infinitely accumulated and strengthened.

Of course, Zhang Lie was not crazy enough to use his own body to fight against the poison accumulated over thousands of years. Even the current Hunyuan Five Elements Dharma Body or the Taiyin Shape Refining Technique with less than five deaths would definitely not be able to resist this poison without injury.

But in the process of flying out, a pale golden sword appeared in Zhang Lie's hand.

clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang...

He danced the sword with both hands, the sword energy and wind surged, covering the whole body, obviously there was nothing at the place where the sword was swung, but under the gaze of everyone around, a little bit of sparks scattered.

Shielded by the supreme pupil technique and the unparalleled swordsmanship in the Purple Mansion, Zhang Lie abruptly broke through the poisonous gas swirl and landed on the mountain pillar in the center. At that time, the Tianjun Flying Sword in his hand was already a dark red color like burning, and the damage to the blade became more and more serious.

"Thank you for your hard work, old buddy. I'll overhaul it for you when I get back." Hui Jian caressed gently, and then retracted the Tianjun Sword.

Only then did Zhang Lie raise his eyes to look around, and he saw that on this small mountain peak, there is aura full of spirit, there are huts, stone tables, stone benches, chessboards, medicine gardens, and spiritual fields. If it weren't for the thick accumulation of dust on the chessboard, here It's as if there is an old Taoist priest who lives in seclusion, carrying a hoe to cultivate and feed himself, enjoying himself and forgetting the world.

Zhang Lie did not forget why he came here, he first came to the stone table and bench, and picked up a dark red gourd placed on the stone table.

Then he glanced around and walked into the thatched hut. In the middle of the hut, there was a collapse, on which sat cross-legged a skeleton wearing a Taoist robe, with a row of shining words written beside his hand:
"Four hundred years of cultivating the Tao, I have gained from nature and returned to nature. My heart is at peace. My little friend, take the sword away and leave the Taoist robe to me? Of course, if you really want it, take it away, and leave me here as an old Taoist." Bare buttocks, no one can see anyway."

Coming to the near side, seeing such a row of words, Zhang Lie couldn't help but smile, and then he wrote next to the row of words:
"it is good."

After all, it's a fate. It's not good to let the senior have no clothes to hide his shame. Although, Zhang Lie can see that the magic robe worn by the old Taoist is also a very good high-grade magic weapon.

In addition to the gourd and the robe, there is also a sword beside the old Taoist. The pure blue color of the scabbard seems to have a mysterious and profound Taoist rhyme, which makes people involuntarily indulged in it.

Zhang Lie unleashed a burst of magic power, took the three-foot green sword in his hand, and then slowly pulled out the scabbard.

"Buzz..."

He flicked his fingers, the blade buzzed softly, and the whole body emitted a layer of faint blue light, which seemed to be far more spiritual than ordinary fourth-tier top-grade flying swords.

"Senior, junior bid farewell."

Holding the sword in both hands, he gave a deep salute, and then left the hut.

Two hours later, Zhang Lie took those local monks out of the cave, and he restrained those local monks from coming here again in the form of poison pills and Dao Xin oath, although it was almost impossible to break through the mysterious poison formation with their means , but Zhang Lie still did everything that should be done.

In addition, this is also a small fourth-tier Beppu. Although it is not large in scale, it can also be used to establish a family or even establish a sect.

"My deterrence is effective in a short period of time, but it will be useless after a long time. The safest way is to return to the family and send someone to occupy this place. That senior likes to be clean and like that Taoist robe. At most I I buried that Taoist robe with him, so many people have discovered this place, it is impossible for him to stay clean any longer."

In the next journey, everything went relatively smoothly. There was a two-day buffer, and Wang Zilong's mana recovered a little. In addition, she was already halfway through the journey. She gritted her teeth and supported it, and then returned. .

However, neither Zhang Lie nor Wang Zilong expected that when the two returned to Hanshan County and approached Wuling Mountain, they saw demonic clouds billowing high above the sky, and thunder and lightning flashed across the sky.

"This is!?"

"Master's evil calamity, unexpectedly came at this time."

Although it was an accident, there was no way to do it. The devil's catastrophe was different from the sky's catastrophe. Its arrival was random and uncontrollable.
