Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 173 The Mysterious Mausoleum
There was originally a snake with four wings painted on the wall, but at some point, the snake in the painting opened its eyes.

Xu Chunniang felt a chill, as if she was being followed by something.

She withdrew her gaze, ignored the discomfort, and walked down the stairs.

After walking along the stairs for about half a quarter of an hour, she entered a stone room, and she suddenly understood.

The walls of the stone chamber are no longer those weird black lines, but are covered with murals.

Xu Chunniang raised her eyes and saw that these murals had gone through many years, and they were covered with mottled marks left by the years, and she could barely make out what was painted on them.

She approached the stone wall and examined the murals carefully.

After reading all the murals, Xu Chunniang realized that what was shown in this mural was the life of a female monarch.

This female monarch was born in troubled times and spent her whole life fighting for the stability of the country. After she finally quelled the rebellion, she passed away due to her injuries.

When the queen died, she was less than thirty years old, and the whole country mourned for three years.

Xu Chunniang was thoughtful, could it be that the place she is in is not some underground palace, but the mausoleum of this queen?
She recalled the structure of the whole building, and the more she thought about it, the more likely it was.

If this underground palace is a mausoleum, then the place where the queen's bones are buried is likely to be in the tomb next to the stone chamber.

It's just that I don't know what the relationship between those black lines and the puppets on the ninth level of Qi training has to do with this female monarch.

In the life of the female monarch, there was no cultivator. Although she is the king of a country, she is just a mortal, and it stands to reason that she has nothing to do with the world of cultivating immortals.

But right now, it seems that it is not that simple.

Xu Chunniang shook her head and walked forward, all of this will be known only in the tomb.

Without much effort, she found the entrance to the tomb.

The stone door at the entrance of the tomb is covered with black lines and some weird runes.

Xu Chunniang frowned, she didn't understand witchcraft, and she didn't know what these runes were used for, but intuitively, she felt that they were not good things.

With a "click", she pushed open the stone door and walked into the tomb.

Before she had time to glance at the scene in the tomb, a sword light swept straight towards where she was standing.

Xu Chunniang's complexion changed slightly, and she moved back without hesitation, avoiding the sword light.

The second, third, and fourth sword lights followed closely, and with the ups and downs of these sword lights, four heavy figures walked out of the stone gate.

They were dressed in armor, their movements were uniform, and they were like four puppets.

Xu Chunniang narrowly avoided the three sword lights behind her, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Each of the four puppets had a cultivation level at the early stage of foundation establishment.

Puppets rely on instinct to fight, and have the characteristics of high defense, slow movement, and lack of flexibility.

Although the fighting strength of the puppets is not as good as that of monks of the same level, the four puppets from the early stage of foundation establishment are far beyond what Xu Chunniang can handle now.

Her current strength can at best deal with a puppet in the early stage of foundation establishment.

After discovering the intruder, Xu Chunniang, these puppets chased after her, waving their giant swords and attacking her, trying to kill the intruder.

Under the pursuit of the four puppets in the early stage of foundation establishment, Xu Chunniang was in a panic.

Although they can only rely on instinct to fight, and the attack speed is not fast, the crushing in terms of cultivation is real. She can only rely on the advantage of speed to avoid these sword lights.

For example, Xu Chunniang is like a nimble mouse, and the four puppets from the early stage of foundation establishment are like four big clumsy cats.

Although the speed of the big cat is slow, as long as the mouse touches the big cat's paw, it will be torn apart.

It won't take long if this goes on, and the mice will be completely shot to death by the big cats.

Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, and ran towards the direction she came from, but when she reached the stairs, she realized that it was blocked by a huge rock.

Breaking the boulder would take time, at least when Xu Chunniang was being hunted down by four puppets in the early stage of foundation establishment at the same time, there was no time to break it.

The Foundation Establishment Puppet held a huge sword with great strength. If it was hit by the sword in its hand, it would break many bones, and she couldn't stop.

Xu Chunniang had no choice but to walk around the stone chamber with the four puppets while thinking hard about countermeasures.

The puppet has only one weakness, which is where its central organs are located.

If the puppet's central organ is destroyed, no matter how high its cultivation is, it will not be able to perform at all.

However, only the puppet master who made the puppet knows the location of the puppet's central organ, and it is difficult for others to find its exact location.

Xu Chunniang recalled that along the way, the central organs of other puppets she encountered were mostly between the waist and abdomen, and some were in the legs.

The four foundation-building puppets in front of her and the puppets of the Qi training period she encountered earlier were most likely made by the same person.

Then, will the central organs of the four puppets in front of me also be between the waist and abdomen or the legs?
Is it right? Just try it and you will know!
She took out the white spear, ran the spirit step with all her strength, turned around and stabbed at the nearest puppet.

The puppet didn't seem to notice the white spear that was about to fall on him. He waved the huge sword calmly and slapped Xu Chunniang.

In their world, even if they are broken to pieces, they must execute orders and kill the intruders.

Xu Chunniang's complexion changed slightly, she slid to the left to avoid the blow, and the point of the gun passed by the puppet's waist.

The puppet was originally a dead thing, able to resist all attacks, but she didn't dare to force it.

After such a delay, the three puppets who were a little further away chased after them, and kept slashing down with their swords.

In desperation, she had no choice but to avoid the sharp edge temporarily, while dodging, while looking for another opportunity to strike.

Finally, after going around in two big circles and getting a sufficient distance from these puppets, Xu Chunniang found an opportunity.

She poured her spiritual power into the white spear and threw it viciously at one of the puppets.

The white spear came out of his hand, pierced the puppet's left waist like an arrow from the string, pierced it hard, and stuck it in its waist.

After being hit by the white gun, it suddenly stopped moving, and the right hand holding the giant sword hung down feebly.

Xu Chunniang couldn't help but her heart beat faster, and she succeeded in this attempt!

She took back the white gun, and continued to dodge the attacks of the other three puppets, looking for new opportunities to attack.

The three puppets were chasing closely, she tried her best to receive a flash of sword light, and finally made another move.

After the white gun was released, it pierced the waist of one of the puppets extremely quickly.

It's just that after the puppet was tricked, it looked as if nothing had happened.Obviously its central organ is not between the waist and abdomen.

Xu Chunniang was not discouraged. In fact, when dealing with the first puppet, she was extremely lucky to be able to hit it with one blow.

As long as she can maintain this speed without being hit by the giant sword, she can slowly find the central opportunities of these puppets and break them one by one.

She took back the white spear, and calmly dodged the sword light and the giant sword's attack.

After all, a puppet is just a puppet, even if it has a strong cultivation base, it is difficult to display the strength comparable to that of a monk.
