251 The Iron Guard in front of the palace
Ye Qin's light figure quietly sneaked through the ruins in the imperial tomb, avoiding the stone puppets on the streets, and the flying thunder kites that flew through the air from time to time, making a "crunch, crunch" sound.
The Mausoleum of the Holy Emperor is an underground city with numerous defenses and streets, although it is not inhabited by monks.
However, there were a large number of funerary goods for the burial of the infant monk who claimed to be the Holy Emperor.
As for why the Holy Emperor wanted to build such a huge mausoleum for himself, it was not something that ordinary monks could guess.
The Holy Emperor Immortal Cultivation Realm is a fairly ancient immortal cultivation realm, and the monks here are the best at making weapons, puppets, and primordial gods. Among the burial items in this imperial mausoleum, there are naturally a large number of items related to these. It is said that many of the secret methods of making weapons that are now circulating in the Lingwu Immortal Cultivation Realm are from the Holy Emperor Immortal Cultivation Realm.
In the battle of the Holy Emperor, Lingwu, Heavenly Dome Plain, and Wanyue Lake, this imperial tomb was broken by the other three realms of cultivation, and most of the burial goods in the imperial tomb were plundered, leaving only a small number of items. In addition, there is a hidden passage in the ruins of this imperial tomb, and monks will come in every forty or fifty years, and most of the burial items here have been looted, and it is not easy to find spiritual treasures in the ruins.
Ye Qin churned through a half-collapsed pavilion, trying to find a relic or two in the dusty ruins.
He didn't expect to find any good treasures in this ruin, but when he came, he couldn't come in vain, and he could find something useful for him.
After a long day's effort, he showed joy, and dug out a sealed red sandalwood box from the corner of the wall with both hands, and swept away the rotten mud and dust. The wooden box was opened with a "click", and there were three pieces of gold and paper inside.
"Hey, this is a secret scroll from the ancient period?"
Ye Qin was stunned, he had seen a secret scroll of this texture in the Fang Market of the Chaotic Land, and the owner of the house said that it was found from the ruins and hid it like a treasure. He opened the secret scrolls and looked at them.
"The Complete Refining Scroll of the Sky Cannon!"
"Stone Man Puppet Refining Scroll!"
"Flying Thunder Kite Complete Refining Scroll!"
Ye Qin recognized the words on it, but the production process of this scroll was very complicated, and he was confused when he read it once. muttered a few words, and put these heavy secret scrolls into the storage bag. Although you may not be able to use it yourself, it doesn't hurt to keep it.
He continued to rummage through the ruins of the pavilion for a while, but his good fortune seemed to end there. Aside from the occasional skeletal remains of an unknown year, no further relics were found.
After a long delay in the ruins of this pavilion, with no more gains, Ye Qin decided to sneak to the center of the Imperial Tomb City and join up with Shi Hanyang, the leader of the Sunset Sect, and other monks.
After all, his real purpose in coming here was not to find spiritual treasures, but to Shi Hanyang.
Shi Hanyang's dignified foundation foundation nine-layer peak monk, the strength of the chaotic land is second only to the five great Jindan ancestors, risking his life to come to the ruins of the imperial tomb, it must not be to find one or two spiritual treasure items that are not very useful. The only reason why this person came here could only be to break through the coveted bottleneck of Jindan.
Compared with breaking through the bottleneck of Jindan, the other ~ cuts are secondary.
Although Shi Hanyang had never told outsiders the purpose of his coming here, almost all the foundation building monks on this trip knew it and wanted to see what Shi Hanyang was doing here.
Ye Qin also had this idea and was about to leave.
Dozens of feet away outside the pavilion, there were suddenly a few slight hums, and angry reprimands, and then fell silent. Ye Qin's body suddenly stiffened when he heard the sound, and his feet disappeared into the darkness on one side lightly, and his whole body breath converged.
After a while, a middle-aged man in brown clothes, enduring the severe pain of a sharp blade magic weapon inserted in his chest, walked over with a woman in green in one hand, and threw it on the corner of the pavilion.
"Cheap woman, she is ruthless enough to mock her, but unfortunately, she is still three points away from Lao Tzu's life. Lao Tzu has long known that in front of Jindan Avenue, no one will not be tempted, and it is not so easy to plot against me. ”
The man in brown endured the severe pain and pulled out a sharp blade magic weapon with a barb, quickly clicked a few meridians on his chest, and used his mana to deal with the bleeding wound, and said a few words in a cold voice, then leaned over and searched the woman's body, found a few storage bags from her waist, and probed it with his divine sense, and saw that there were a lot of precious raw materials inside, and he immediately showed a satisfied smile.
"I didn't expect you to prepare a lot of things, the items that Lao Tzu brought, plus these bags of items of yours, should be enough for Lao Tzu to exchange for a knot gold pill and come back." When the old man succeeds in marrying Dan, this merit belongs to you. You can rest assured that Lao Tzu will not forget your benefits. ”
The man in brown rested for a while, changed his clothes, and after probing around with his divine sense, he quickly left the ruins of the pavilion.
Ye Qin silently, looking at the cold woman's corpse with cold eyes, he did not step forward to investigate.
The brown-clothed man just now, he had a slight impression, it was Chu Hui, the leader of a small sect in the Land of Chaos, a high-ranking monk of the eighth layer of the foundation building period. This person was too low-key, Ye Qin thought about it for a while before remembering his name. And the woman in green has a close relationship with this person, and seems to be the man's partner, and her cultivation is not low.
It's just that I don't know why the two of them suddenly turned their faces at this time, one dead and one injured.
Ye Qin shook his head secretly and quietly withdrew from the pavilion.
Speaking of which, the sect leader of this chaotic land is really worthless, as long as the foundation building monk with a little strength can win over dozens of Qi cultivation stage cultivators, claiming to be a certain sect.
It took Ye Qin half a day to travel through a large area of the Imperial Tomb and come to the vicinity of the rich wall in the center of the Imperial Tomb. This palace wall is five zhang high, as long as you climb over this palace wall, you will enter the inner wealth.
Outside the walls of this palace, there were seven or eight high-ranking monks sitting cross-legged in twos and threes, and they were not in a hurry to enter the inner palace.
The brown-clothed man Chu Hui was also among them, with a cold face, and he couldn't see anything unusual about him.
There are no stone puppets and flying thunder kites approaching here, and all the flying thunder kites are only patrolling in the mid-air of the ruins of the outer city, far away from this inner palace. It seems that this piece of inner wealth hides an extremely dangerous atmosphere.
Ye Qin's arrival surprised them, the high-ranking cultivators of the foundation building period. Those who dare to break into the inner palace must have extremely strong strength.
Shi Hanyang couldn't help but glance at Ye Qin a few more times and said.
"All those who venture into the ruins of the Holy Emperor's Mausoleum hope that they will get the most out of it. In the ruins of this urban area, if you look carefully for three or four days, you will definitely find a lot of gains. If you venture into the inner palace, you will naturally be able to get more and better things. But in this inner palace, it is a hundred times more dangerous than the ruins of the city outside. Although the courage of the little brother is not small, but with your low-level cultivation of foundation building, you can just look for it in the ruins of the outer city, and there is no need to enter the inner palace. If you take us into the inner palace, I'm afraid that there will be more evil and less luck. For a little greed, I lost my life, but I can't get it. ”
"Brother Shi, since I'm here, I naturally want to take a look around the ruins. The puppet in the inner palace shouldn't be more powerful than the Flying Thunder Kite, right?"
Ye Qin glanced at the quiet inner palace and said calmly.
"What is the Flying Thunder Kite, the attack of these wooden birds is only comparable to the attack of a first-level monk in the foundation building period. We have limited time here, and the Sect Master is just too lazy to bother with them. Compared to the puppets in the inner palace, they could only count as a few appetizers at best. This Imperial Mausoleum is a mausoleum where the Yuan Infant cultivates the soil, how can there only be a low puppet guard like the Flying Thunder Kite?"
Shi Hanyang laughed.
"Brother Shi, don't scare this little brother, there are only a few guard puppets in the inner palace. Since this little brother wants to go inside and have a look, there is nothing wrong with it. Ma Dongyan clasped his hands on his chest, leaned his back against the palace wall, and said in a cold voice.
The crowd fell silent.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed since they were waiting at the entrance of the inner palace. However, there were only about 20 foundation building monks who appeared near the palace wall one after another, and the rest of the monks did not come here. Those who want to enter the inner palace should have arrived. The monks who don't want to enter the inner palace are probably still looking for spiritual treasures in the ruins of the Imperial Tomb City. If you can find a few spiritual treasures, it will be worth the trip. After all, not everyone is willing to go to the inner palace to die.
Ye Qin was thinking about what Ma Dongyan said, "a few armor guards in the inner palace", just these armor guards blocked their group of high-level foundation cultivation soil from the outside and didn't dare to enter, he didn't think those armor guards were easy to deal with. The degree of danger is definitely several grades higher than that of the Flying Thunder Kite.
"The number of people is almost enough to deal with those guards, let's kill them!"
Shi Hanyang looked at everyone and suddenly stood up.
Eleven foundation-building high-level monks, nine foundation-building middle-level monks, and three foundation-building beginner monks, they jumped over the five-zhang high palace wall and entered the inner palace. It was clear that their small group was almost the strongest of the monks.
What appeared in front of Ye Qin was a huge palace.
In front of the palace, there was an ironclad guard squatting quietly.
Yes, only one.
It was this ironclad guard that kept a group of monks outside and didn't dare to come in for a day.
This ironclad guard, who exuded an icy aura, was motionless and half-crouched on the ground, it had not moved for at least forty or fifty years, and its body was covered with a thick layer of dust, almost integrated with the ground in front of the entire hall, and covered with moss.
When more than 20 monks climbed over the palace wall and appeared in front of the central palace of the imperial tomb.
It slowly looked up, a red light flashing through its helmet.
"Click", holding a black mottled meteorite iron marksmanship in his hand, he slowly stood up, shook off a piece of dust, and stood in front of the hall with a horizontal spear. It moves slowly and is not flexible. It seems that it wants to enter the palace, but it can't do it.
"This is the Iron Guard in front of the temple, and the Master of the Sect fought against it forty years ago, and teamed up with other monks to destroy it once. I didn't think it was back to its original state, but I didn't know if its strength had changed from forty or fifty years ago. Guys, would any of you want to give it a try?"
Shi Hanyang said coldly.
