292 The treasure map is as clear as a mirror, and the scheming is as deep as the sea
(292 Treasure Map is as clear as a mirror, and scheming is as deep as the sea)
The thing Xing Ziming said in the message was the discovery of the entrance to this underworld infant hiding place, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it must be excavated as soon as possible. At this time, some of the elders of the Purple Mansion of the Five Elements Sect Shuide Academy were in retreat, and some were dispatched for important matters, so they could not dispatch manpower for a while. asked Su Lang, the master of the Purple Mansion, to quickly go to the underworld to help excavate this treasure.
Discover a Hidden Path Treasure yourself, and the benefits speak for themselves. Although most of the treasures and jade slips in the infant collection must eventually be handed over to the Five Elements Sect, the excavators left a few things in their hands, as long as they are not too excessive, no one will question them according to convention.
And don't look at the large number of people in the Shuide Academy in the Cave, the monks below the Purple Mansion are all coolies, and they don't know what they are digging at all. Among the disciples of the Five Elements Sect in the entire Cloud Sky City, only he and Xing Ziming, two Purple Mansion cultivators, were qualified to know about the existence of Yingzang.
Therefore, Xing Ziming was unwilling to wait for more Purple Mansion monks from the Five Elements Sect to share the spoils, and was willing to pull him to "excavate" first, which was also extremely reasonable.
But if he really wants to go alone, Su Lang is always faintly uneasy in his heart, feeling that this whole thing is strange.
The Five Elements Sect has been looking for this infant treasure for hundreds of years. Why haven't you found it for hundreds of years, but you found it at this time? At this time, it was the critical moment when his wife Wang Shuhua secretly attacked the disciples of the Jade Palace and formed a bond with others, and the Wang family was suddenly wiped out.
Although during the struggle a hundred years ago, the Su family seized the right to operate this teleportation array from the Gu family, and since then the power has flourished, from the nameless family, to occupy half of Yuntian City in one fell swoop, but it has also formed a bond with the powerful Gu family. The insidious and vicious Gu clan has been trying to regain territory.
If it is said that it is hard to fight, the Su family, who has a shallow foundation, is definitely not the opponent of the Gu family. They relied on being behind the scenes of the Five Elements Sect. It is precisely because there are people in the Five Elements Sect who have strong support, and he is cautious, not showing the slightest flaw, and has not been caught with any tricks, so he has stuck to this day. So even if the Wang family was wiped out, he insisted on not making a move, because he didn't want to get involved in the trouble caused by his wife.
At this time, Xing Ziming came to ask him to dig up the treasure? Su Lang couldn't believe that this could be so coincidental.
He poured a trace of divine thought into the jade slip. After a while, the jade slip shone brightly. The phantom of a thin old man with white hair and a dark face appeared, it was none other than Xing Ziming, the elder of the Purple Mansion of the Five Elements Sect.
This person's eyes were sharp, his face was cold, and when he saw Su Lang, he said lukewarmly: "Why can't Master Su trust the old man?"
Su Lang replied without humility or arrogance: "That Underworld Infant Treasure has been missing for at least four hundred years. Elder Xing is sure that he has found it? This is not a trivial matter, and Poor Dao has to be cautious. ”
"Hmph, in fact, the old man can't say anything about this. Whether it's true or not, please ask Hall Master Su and relevant people to find out in person. After speaking, Xing Ziming also held the jade slip in his hand, and injected a wisp of divine thought.
A shadow of a man appeared. This time, Su Lang's heart was shocked. This middle-aged Taoist man wearing a blue brocade robe and a glaive jade crown on his head was not his sworn enemy Gu Zhongyou? Gu Zhongyou's face was calm, but he respectfully made a mockery.
Su Lang's face changed greatly, and he said to Xing Zi angrily: "Elder Xing, the matter in the underworld is the top secret of my Five Elements Sect, what do you mean by involving the ancient family monks to come in?"
Su Lang knew that Xing Ziming was familiar with Gu Zhongyou in the morning. Although Gu Zhongyou also cultivated in the Five Elements Sect, he has already become a teacher. The Gu family is not the lower sect of the Five Elements Sect, at most it is just a close-knit family.
A hundred years ago, the Gu family fought for the right to operate the Underworld, and the three elders of the Gu family also knew about the existence of the infant treasure, but they had already made a heavy oath not to leak it, and not to meddle in it. It is estimated that Xing Ziming claimed that he had discovered the baby, but he privately involved the people of the Gu family to share the spoils, which is definitely a big rebellion!
But for Su Lang, what he was more worried about was that Xing Ziming joined forces with the Gu family to squeeze out his Su family's power from Yuntian City. Therefore, when these two people appeared in the jade slip at the same time, the warning signs in his heart were immediately raised to the extreme.
Xing Ziming sighed and said, "It seems that Hall Master Su still can't let go of his past grievances." This time it was not the old man's wish to involve the monks of the ancient family. It's just that the entrance to this baby hide was not discovered by the old man himself. It was contributed by the ancient brother to the sect. ”
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Su Lang was shocked at first, and then looked incredulous. He glanced at Gu Zhongyou, "My sect has been digging in the underworld for hundreds of years, since your Gu family knows where the entrance is, why don't you contribute it as soon as possible, and you have to wait until today, so that my Five Elements Sect has spent countless amounts here?"
Gu Zhongyou didn't answer his question directly, but just smiled lightly and said, "Does Hall Master Su know who first discovered the infant treasure in this cave?"
Su Lang knew about this. It is no secret to all who know about the existence of this baby vault. This Xuanyin Acupoint, including the Infant Treasure, was first discovered by Qin Zunyang, who was still a disciple of the Five Elements Sect at that time, more than five hundred years ago. It's just that although he got some benefits from this infant treasure, he didn't dig it completely, but resealed it.
Later, Qin Zunyang rebelled and set up another sect in Jade Peak, and then soon flew away, and this hidden cave was occupied by the Five Elements Sect.
This is not a fair and righteous thing, so the Five Elements Sect is not declared. The Jade Palace didn't seem to know about it at all, and no one ever mentioned it. As for the specific location of the baby's hide, it also disappeared with Qin Zunyang's ascension.
"What if you know?"
"Seven years ago, my Gu Clan monk participated in a battle against the Soul Sect in the Injuryless Mountain. It was for a Dryad Core...... In fact, this demon has a close relationship with Qin Zunyang, and is one of Qin Zunyang's close friends in the demon world. After the war, this demon was killed, and some relics fell into the hands of our clan. One of the jade slips had a seal on it, which had never been unlocked. Recently, my Gu family has produced a genius child, who is extremely good at jade seals. After a try, it happened to be unraveled. In this jade slip, there is a detailed map of the hidden treasure of the underworld path that Qin Zunyang discovered back then......"
"Hmph, your ancient family has always been far-reaching. Since he has this picture in hand, he must keep it for himself, how can he contribute it!" Su Lang still didn't believe it.
Gu Zhongyou seemed to have expected him to think so, smiled indifferently, and replied: "Even if there are thousands of strange treasures, what is the use of not being able to dig them? This cave is an important place of the Shangzong, and my Gu family monks can't enter it at all, so how can we talk about the treasure according to the map? It is better to contribute to the Shangzong, and it can still be exchanged for some benefits."
"If it's too late and the news leaks out, my Gu family is not guilty, but it is guilty. Even if the Shangzong doesn't coerce me to hand over this map, I'm afraid that the other forces in the Xuanmen may not covet it, right?
After saying that, he shook his hand and threw over a streamer. Su Lang took it in his hand, and it was still a phantom. But in the case of jade slips and the like, there is not much difference between the phantom and the real thing. He reached into his senses and immediately saw a map of great intricacies.
The Cave, the bottom of the lake that does not die of hunger, all the details are clearly visible. The entire bottom of the lake turned out to be a huge earth walking formation. If no one touches it, it will be fine. But once someone excavates and touches it, the infant Tibetan transformation in it will be completely moved away by the earth.
It's no wonder that the Five Elements Sect has been digging in the east and digging in the west for hundreds of years, but it can't touch the location of this baby.
According to the design of this formation, if you dig down from the east, it moves to the west. You dig down from the west, and it moves back to the east. Unless you can burrow the whole bottom of the lake and leave it with no way out. But the manpower and material resources consumed in that way are sky-high, and no one can afford to spend them.
This map is not a simple map, and even the enchantment spirit in all formations has detailed standards. With this map in hand, there is no need to dig at all, and a few people can enter with a little soil escape technique.
Not only the entrance, but also the many traps, traps, prohibitions, and even the location of the treasure in the baby's den, all of which are clearly marked in the map. No wonder Xing Ziming is convinced of this thing. With Su Lang's familiarity with the terrain of this cave, he knew that it was almost impossible to forge this map.
This not only involves geography, but also those profound institutional prohibitions, which cannot be arranged at all unless they reach the realm of Yuanying Zhenren.
If there was no such picture, it would be extremely dangerous for a few of them to rush into the Purple Mansion in a hurry. At that time, I am afraid that the Five Elements Sect can only find a bunch of Five Elements Sect elders who are proficient in the prohibition, analyze and decompose layer by layer, and I don't know how long it will take to get in.
But with this diagram in hand, they can easily get in. No wonder Xing Ziming couldn't wait to call him.
According to the rules of the Five Elements Sect, whenever a high-value secret treasure is discovered, more than two elders must enter at the same time, and both parties should record the excavation process with a photo jade slip, otherwise they will be suspected of embezzlement.
If Xing Ziming hands over the jade slip now, I'm afraid it won't be his turn. But urgently pulling Su Lang and the two of them into it together, not only does not violate the laws of the sect, but also can get a lot of benefits, so why not.
Su Lang threw the jade slip back to Gu Zhongyou. This is the irrefutable proof of this, and he can't believe it.
The only thing he was worried about was that the three of them entered the infant treasure together, and Xing Ziming and Gu Zhongyou suddenly joined hands to attack him. The Gu family must not want to put him to death all the time.
But as the hall master of the Five Elements Sect, he was a figure of the same rank as the elder. Xing Ziming and Gu Zhongyou teamed up to make some small moves, such as stabbing his family Wang Shuhua for framing the disciples of the Jade Palace, that was still possible. But to say that these two men joined forces to kill him, he didn't believe it.
After all, the Five Elements Sect has strict rules. Small infighting is tolerable. If you collude with outsiders to murder the elders, it is a great crime that cannot be tolerated. As for Wang Shuhua's plot to kill the disciples of the Jade Palace, to put it bluntly, it was a trivial matter, and it was impossible for the upper authorities to seize this matter and take away his identity as the master of the Cloud Heaven Hall.
He thought about it again and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. nodded to Xing Ziming: "When, where?"
Xing Ziming said: "Tomorrow night." As for the location, I will send it to you through the jade slip with a divine thought. This matter is extremely important, and I also ask Hall Master Su not to leak it. ”
Su Lang nodded slightly. He immediately saw a mark on the map of the Underworld Cave in the jade slip, and knew that this was the meeting place at the end of the night.
