Chapter 138: The Puppet Dried Corpse
"The prohibition here was only broken last time, so let's go in the same way this time!"
Looking at this large area of ruins, Cao Tao took a deep breath and turned around to say.
Zhang Fan and the others had already observed the surrounding environment at this moment, as he said, the prohibition was working perfectly, and the only place that was broken was indeed the weakest point.
Judging at the intensity of this prohibition, Cao Tao must have worked a lot of effort at that time, and he may not be under the big formation that broke through the formation at the beginning.
There was nothing to say at the moment, and a group of six people rushed in from an inconspicuous place in the ruins.
As soon as they entered, less than a cup of tea had been carried forward, and everyone came to a cave house of considerable scale.
In fact, in terms of scale, this place should be called the main hall, the shape of the size of a hundred zhang, although after the vicissitudes of life, still shows a little exquisite and elegant decoration, if it is not for the cloud bed stone table and other things inside, it looks like the room of ordinary monks to entertain guests, it is really impossible to imagine that this place is actually a single residence.
Everyone stopped and looked around, amazed.
From these subsections, we can see the difference between the ancient monks and the current immortal cultivators.
Luxury, enjoyment, these things are not important to the monks nowadays, and almost every bit of the monks' energy is spent on cultivation, either for immortality or strength, and they rarely spend effort on these pleasures.
Even double monastics are not as common as they were in ancient times. At that time, almost everyone who cultivated immortals had a double cultivation of Taoist couples, which is like now, in order to be able to concentrate on penance, the matter of forming a Taoist couple is as rare as a rarity.
All of this is forced by reality, if you can enjoy it, who doesn't want to? But under the pressure of immortality, you have to make a choice.
The great destruction of the ancients led to the loss of a large number of exercises and magical powers, as well as the loss of a huge amount of heaven and earth aura, which also made the survival attitude of today's monks very different from that of ancient times.
However, with a slight sigh, everyone came back to their senses and turned their eyes to the wolves on both sides of the cave.
There, there were a large number of wood-like objects, except that they were carved into the shape of a human body, with arms, heads, torsos and feet, and even the occasional carving of a full torso.
"Puppet!"
Although there were few intact ones, everyone still recognized at a glance that these things were supposed to be humanoid puppets and the like.
"It's a pity!"
The same voice echoed in the hearts of everyone.
Crafted from wood rather than gold and iron, it can be seen that these materials must be extraordinary, and have their own special functions, and until now, they can almost be called heavenly and earthly treasures.
But these things in front of them are obviously not properly preserved, or the owner of this place does not take them seriously at all, and just put them here without protection.
After tens of thousands of years of baptism, there is no protection at all, even if the material is good, I am afraid that the spirit will be lost, otherwise it will be destroyed into such an almost irreparable appearance.
Zhang Fan's gaze, like theirs, stayed on this pile of tattered puppets, the difference was that he was not too interested in those materials, but paid attention to their distribution.
From the point of view of their position, they must have stood on both sides like halberd-wielding soldiers before they were destroyed, and they were placed for deterrence or protection, but strangely, near the center of the cave, there were also several piles of tatters remaining, which seemed to be the same as the others on the outside, but looking at the fracture, it seemed to be quite new, at least the color of the wood itself could be seen.
Suddenly turning around, Zhang Fan turned to Cao Tao and asked, "You destroyed these puppets?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, everyone also reacted, it didn't make sense that the others were on both sides, and there were a few more piles in the center, and then they looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"That's right. Cao Tao nodded, and then stepped forward to pick up a stump arm in it, and with a little force in his hand, he saw that the entire broken arm seemed to be weathered, turning into powder and falling.
"When we arrived, there were still three or four puppets still moving. ”
Cao Tao clapped his hands and described the situation at the time.
When they came here, they were no different from Zhang Fan and the others, and they were also shocked by the situation in front of them, the difference was that at that time, in addition to the large pieces of waste materials on both sides, there were three or four intact puppets.
These puppets, I don't know what kind of materials and techniques they are refined, even after tens of thousands of years, they can still move freely.
Without the slightest intention of warning, they immediately pounced on Cao Tao and the other five who were exhausted from searching in the red sand desert.
Cao Tao and the others, whose spiritual power had almost been exhausted, were already desperate and didn't want to really make a move, but they found that it was not the case.
I don't know if it's because of the damage to the materials or the lack of spiritual power, in short, although these puppets are menacing, they have no lethality at all.
Cao Tao and the others were desperate, so they were naturally overjoyed and easily destroyed these puppets.
After doing this, they found that the refining techniques of these puppets were really earth-shattering. I thought that I would still be able to act after so many years, because of the peculiarity of the material, but after the puppet was destroyed by them, I realized that it was wrong.
Once left the protection of the puppet's overall prohibition, all the timber that made up the various parts was immediately weathered and could not be touched.
I couldn't imagine that I had been fighting with something made of such materials before, and if I had been a little contemptuous at first, when I found out about this, I was immediately filled with admiration.
Zhang Fan and the others are far from being able to compare with those people at the beginning, but after listening to Cao Tao's narration, their faces are still moved, with a bunch of things that can be called powder, they can move freely and compete with the foundation building monks.
While sighing, Hong Yue suddenly asked, "Cao boy, didn't you say that you have two friends who fell here?"
Asking, he kicked up a piece of wood under his feet, and as Cao Tao said, before his feet left the contact, the wood turned into powder and scattered.
"With these things, you can kill two foundation building monks?"
"Of course it can't be!" Cao Tao shook his head, but he didn't elaborate, just said: "Wait and see, I'll take you to the Danfang." ”
"Danfang?"
Hearing these two, everyone's eyes lit up, and they didn't have the heart to ask any more questions, and followed his footsteps closely, passed through a stone gate on one side, and walked along the passages towards the depths of the cave.
On both sides of the passage and on the dome, there are still mural-like decorations, but these cannot bring the slightest sense of beauty to the cave at this time.
These murals are mottled and peeled, and the content is no longer visible, and even if there are occasionally scales and half-claws intact, they are also decolorized and gray, and they can only look desolate.
On both sides, there are also stone chamber openings from time to time, and there are obvious traces of rummaging inside, and the traces are still new, and it seems that they are newly done, without tens of thousands of years of remnants.
Obviously, these were left behind by Cao Tao and the others when they came last time.
Seeing that several of them were paying attention to the situation in the stone chamber from time to time, Cao Tao turned his head and smiled: "Those things are all found in these stone chambers. ”
After a pause, he said, "Including the true explanation of the Great Saying." ”
Referring to the four words "Da Yue Zhen Explanation", he also glanced at Zhang Fan and Hong Yue, and the inexplicable meaning in his eyes was so clear that those who saw it would never misunderstand.
Zhang Fanruo glanced back at Cao Tao meaningfully, and then turned his gaze to the red Yue who suddenly lit up in his eyes.
It seems that this person's goal is also to "understand the truth".
Speaking of which, this Hongyue exercise also has a certain relationship with the sun, I don't know if there is any origin in it, even if it is not, there will be something under the bypass.
In this way, he is his biggest opponent in the competition for the "Great True Solution". While Zhang Fan was secretly paying attention in his heart, he also saw that Hongyue's eyes flickered and looked over, and he wanted to move with the same thought.
Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Fan took his attention away from Hong Yue's body and remembered Cao Tao's purpose instead. This person mentioned the true solution at this time, and he was somewhat suspected of sowing discord, but he didn't know what his idea was?
Because of Cao Tao's words, the atmosphere among the crowd suddenly seemed a little dull, not as harmonious as the previous side by side, and there was silence for a while, only the doll was still heartless, running around energetically, running into the empty stone room from time to time, and soon came out with a disappointed face, and then entered the next one, and was never tired.
After a short while, Cao Tao finally stopped in front of a spacious stone chamber, pointed ahead, and said, "This is where the Dan room of this cave mansion is located." ”
"Last time we came here, my two brothers also fell here. ”
The latter sentence does not need to be said by everyone, everyone also knows in their hearts, the two dried corpses are clearly lying on their backs in front, the traces of the fight around them are obvious, and there are depressions on the ground similar to those caused by heavy hammers, not to mention the large black-brown dried bloodstains, which is enough to explain everything.
It is said that it is a dry corpse, because although the two corpses lie on their backs and show their faces, they can no longer see what they were before they were born, and the skin of one body is contracted, and the skin of the face is crumpled and attached to the face like tanned cowhide, and the edges and corners show the shape of the skull.
It doesn't look like a freshly dead corpse, but like a corpse buried in the desert for hundreds of years.
However, seeing this, everyone did not doubt his words, because even before entering the stone chamber, a wave of heat surged out, and if there was no protection, I was afraid that everyone would be roasted into the appearance of two on the ground in an instant.
What's more strange is that looking at Cao Tao's appearance, it is clear that he has a very good relationship with the four people who fell in the cave, and it is definitely not a temporary combination like them, in this case, how could he let these two people die here?
Without waiting for everyone to ask, Cao Tao explained the reason.
