Chapter 29 Clues
I walked westward for less than a day, and suddenly the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually returned to stability.
Zuo Lingquan stopped at the top of the mountain and looked up at the sky - the thick dark clouds were blown away by the wind, revealing the familiar starry sky and full moon, and a hot air flow also pressed from afar, turning the originally cold rainy night into a stuffy summer night.
Judging from the vastness of the starry sea, the Qilin Cave Heaven has completely collapsed and merged into part of Yuyaozhou.
Zuo Lingquan couldn't tell where he was at this time, and he didn't know how far he was from Qingwan. He stopped and turned around and asked:
"The world seems to be stable. Should I continue walking or go back first?"
Xie Qiutao got a treasure dragon turtle. He had made a lot of money on this trip. He spoke with the attitude of "the best thing is not bad, no one is not bad" in the deep underground:
"Look at you. Someone has taken the lead in that hole. After a few days, the baby is still there. But it's better to go and take a look, so as not to pass by the opportunity and regret it in the future."
Shangguan Lingye went out to look for treasure with Zuo Lingquan. He agreed to find the fairy sword, but the result was that Zuo Lingquan paid the sword in. She compensated herself, but she didn't get anything. She really paid the wife and the soldiers.
Shangguan Lingye is more thrifty than Xie Qiutao. He used to be "fresh and geese". He even pulled the balls, but he had never suffered such a blood loss. Especially the hole is related to the Zhongzhou Qilin. If he missed this time, it would be common for him to not encounter it in the next few decades. She responded:
"The world has stabilized, and a large number of monks will come in soon. If you go back at this time and come back again, you may not be left. Let's try your luck first."
While speaking, Shangguan Lingye took out a talisman to relieve heat and threw it more than ten feet away.
The talisman showed a glimmer of light and emitted a cold air, and nothing else was different.
After confirming that the talisman was triggered normally and did not cause any changes, Shangguan Lingye floated up in the wind, and the dress stained with dust on his body also looked completely refreshed in an instant.
Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan and Xie Qiutao no longer suppressed the flow of true energy in their bodies, and at the same time, the air was floating in the air.
Zuo Lingquan took out the Tiandun card and tried to contact Qingwan. Unfortunately, after leaving the Nine Sects, the Tiandun Tower was no longer covered by dead corners. The Tiandun card was spread for a few miles at most, and it was not even possible to contact him before he could roar far.
Although Shangguan Lingye's Taoist journey was high, he could not sense the situation thousands of miles away. She knew that Zuo Lingquan was worried about Qingwan waiting alone, and said:
"There is a protective magic circle on the pleasure boat, and Qingwan's situation is much safer than ours. If the people from Qilin Cave don't leave, they may fight later. You should be careful of yourself."
Private ferries are always customized for a sky-high price. The basic life-saving function will naturally not be lacking. Although the defense is not indestructible, monks who have the ability to destroy the ferry cannot get along with Qingwan.
Zuo Lingquan was not worried about Qingwan's safety, but was afraid that Qingwan would be anxious and would report his safety as soon as he thought of it.
However, Lingye’s words make sense. If you don’t take advantage of the fact that you are looking for treasures and come back again, you may be overcrowded.
Since they decided to continue to explore the treasure, the speed was naturally as fast as possible. The three of them did not say much and flew directly to the Qilin Cave that Xie Qiutao discovered.
When you cannot use your magical powers, you can only run with your legs across mountains and rivers. For fear that you will be discovered, you cannot move too much. After you can control the air, your speed is huge.
Originally, there was still one day away from Qilin Cave, and the three of them walked in the wind. After only two quarters of an hour, they found the stone platform located in the mountains.
Looking through the moonlight, the stone platform is built against the mountain peaks, and there are scattered collapsed buildings around it, covered by plants and vines, and there is no trace of human activities.
After Shangguan Lingye flew to the nearby area, he landed on the ground to calm down his breath to avoid alarming the snake.
The three of them kept a proper distance and carefully came to the stone platform, entered through the huge hole, and headed to the underground.
Although it was only more than two miles away from the deepest part of the ground, the three of them searched for formations or traps along the way and took a short time to reach the deepest nest.
What makes people feel relieved is that they have not encountered any accidents along the way, and there is no ambush at the deepest part of the nest; but what is disappointing is that, as Xie Qiutao said, there is indeed no hair left in the Qilin Cave.
Zuo Lingquan stood in the huge underground nest, and it was seen that the rock wall of the stone cave was as hard as iron, and it was not known what material it was made of; there was a large platform in the middle, and the former big horned deer should be lying there, the entire nest was very clean and there was no debris.
When Xie Qiutao saw this scene of "the family is barely submissive" and her little face that she had originally expected was full of regret:
"As a matter of fact, they were all taken away, cleaner than my pocket."
The three of them were not very willing. Although they could not see any objects, they still searched around in the nest to see if they could find the treasures hidden secretly. Xie Qiutao even took out the little dragon turtle that he had just obtained, took it away and sniffed it everywhere.
No one is better at finding natural treasures than Tuanzi. Tuanzi jumped around in an empty nest and finally landed in a corner of the stone wall, pointing at the ground with his wings:
"Jiji!"
Zuo Lingquan hurriedly came to the front and half-squatted to check the ground, but saw a sword hole on the ground, and there was a sawdust-like powder next to it. It seemed that someone had inserted the sword here not long ago.
Xie Qiutao was most concerned about it. She squatted beside her and looked at the powder carefully. She also dipped it in a little with her hands and smelled it:
"It smells so good, it's the smell of a cave. I heard the sound of sawing something two days ago, and it must be sawing it. But why do you have to see it here? Is it too big and Linglong Pavilion can't fit it?"
Shangguan Lingye naturally didn't know the reason. She checked for a while and didn't dare to taste the taste. She couldn't tell what it was. She was about to borrow Xie Qiutao's little dragon turtle to try poison, but found that Zuo Lingquan beside her did not pay attention to the powder, but looked at the sword hole on the ground with a little shocked and confused look on her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"You didn't notice that this sword hole looks familiar?"
"Um?"
Shangguan Lingye and Xie Qiutao then turned their eyes to the sword hole, and were also shocked when they saw it.
The shapes of the sword are similar, but there are also subtle differences, such as eight sides, six sides, four sides, length, width, thickness, etc.
The mainstream of contemporary sword-making is a four-sided sword that focuses on lightweight; the trace of the sword hole is a six-sided sword. The most important thing is that it is exactly the same as the sword hole they saw in the catacombs outside the sand sea.
When Zuo Lingquan and Lin Zifeng were fighting, they borrowed the sword from an unknown master. When they recalled, it was also a six-faced sword. If it was inserted on the ground, the sword hole would be the same.
Although the six-faced sword is not rare, the two sword marks are no different, and they are bumped into each other one after another, which is too far-fetched to say that it is a coincidence.
Xie Qiutao remembered the shape of the sword hole in the crypt and said in confusion:
"Is it that the person who picked up the opportunity in the sea of sand that ran here again to pick up the good things? What luck is this? We are one step ahead of us every time."
Zuo Lingquan's expression was more serious: "That's a fairy sword. This person looks not just as lucky as he is."
"Sword of Fairy?"
"Well, I used it once, it's amazing..."
Shangguan Lingye thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "From time, the man took the fairy sword from the ground, at most it would be only one month. The immortal weapon was too powerful, and some had side effects, such as devouring essence and blood to damage life, affecting the mind and becoming crazy and devilish, etc.
"Even if my master got an immortal weapon, he had to study it at home for a year or two and thoroughly figure it out before he could use it. This man only took the immortal sword and came to Qilin Cave Heaven after ten days. He dared to lend you the sword at will, and his behavior was too abnormal."
Zuo Lingquan thought about it carefully and found it very reasonable. If he had just obtained the fairy sword, he would not lend it to others for use, and would not have taken it out in front of outsiders.
The principle of "no money is missing" is also followed in the path of practice. When you pick up a great opportunity, you will show off everywhere. It is no different from seeking death. No normal people will do such things.
“This is a little bit unreasonable.”
"yes."
Shangguan Lingye felt that this was extremely strange. The other party could not have just obtained the immortal sword; but she did see the sword being taken away not long ago, and the original owner had already become a dry bone...
Dead bones...
Shangguan Lingye's heart moved and suddenly thought of a possibility:
"In the past, a monk found a secret treasure by chance and wanted to refine it, but was seized by the remaining souls of the monks who were staying there, which is what is often called "taking the body". If the person holding the fairy sword just took the body, then this matter makes sense..."
