Chapter 2024 Gall Crystal
There were waves coming from inside the Qianjun Ring, very regular, beating every once in a while, as if there was a beating heart in the space, aroused by an unknown existence deep in the mausoleum, and awakened from silence.
Qin Sang had no way of knowing what the Qianjun Ring sensed. He concentrated and comprehended for a while, but did not feel summoned, and judged that the other party should not be a living thing. Otherwise, Qin Sang would have to weigh whether this was a blessing or a curse.
Seeing that there was no danger in the tomb passage and the faded murals on the wall did not have any power, Pei Gongsheng and Young Master Xin walked to the front of the tomb passage.
Qin Sang still walked at the back.
Before, he did not want to be involved in the storm, abide by his promise, and fulfill the agreement with Young Master Xin, even if it was to repay the credit of the Xin family cultivators for exploring the way.
The situation took an unexpected turn, and it was impossible for him to withdraw. This place was related to the Qianjun Ring, and it might have fallen off from the Ziwei Palace. He must find out.
What is curious is how the Xin family found this place. Did the Xin family also get a treasure in the Ziwei Palace that has a similar effect to the Qianjun Ring, so they found this place?
However, Young Master Xin did not have anything that could sense the Qianjun Ring.
Qin Sang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sight swept over the backs of Young Master Xin and Pei Gongfeng.
The situation is unclear, he will definitely not reveal his purpose, and he is ready to wait and see. Even if Pei Gongfeng was not there, he did not intend to ask Young Master Xin directly. Young Master Xin dared to invite the Lianxu cultivators to explore this place together, and he must have relied on her. The Xin family can produce so many Huashen cultivators, and the family has a deep foundation.
‘Dongdongdong…’
Everyone deliberately stepped harder, and the footsteps echoed in the long tomb passage, breaking the silence. But the front of the tomb passage was as quiet as before, and there was no fork in the road. They walked to the end of the tomb passage very smoothly.
A dazzling white light came from the end, sweeping away the darkness in the tomb passage.
They stopped and saw a part of the area outside through the exit of the tomb passage, which was actually a green bush.
This is a bunch of water grass growing on the water surface. The grass leaves are dense. The water surface seems not deep. There is sand below. This environment is too common in Duizhou. I didn't expect to see it here again.
The water surface is calm, without even a ripple. After entering the mausoleum for so long, it has been so quiet. It doesn't look like there is any danger.
The more so, the more vigilant everyone is. They stop where they are and carefully use their spiritual sense to explore the outside of the tomb passage.
The scene outside is surprising. It is a big lake. The surface of the entire lake is as shallow as the entrance of the tomb passage. There are lush water grass floating on the lake. Among the green grass, there are statues.
The base of the statue is the same as that on the trail, but the statue here is intact.
There are strange monsters carved on the stone platform. It is hard to imagine that there are such monsters. A dragon with one claw, a monster bird with three wings, and a cow with dozens of eyes on its head are all considered the most normal.
The monsters are lifelike, all with wide eyes, staring at the exit of the tomb passage. It seemed that they would pounce at any time and besiege the intruder. Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and subconsciously withdrew their spiritual consciousness.
After waiting for a while, the monsters did not respond. It was not a solution to continue waiting. After all, they wanted to enter the mausoleum, no matter what dangers were ahead.
‘Crack! ’
The moment they walked out of the tomb passage, a crisp sound came into everyone's ears.
“Be careful!”
Young Master Xin blurted out, and suddenly waved his cloud sleeves, and a golden light flew out and turned into a golden lock.
There were several golden rings on the golden lock, which jingled when they moved, and shot out several golden halos, shooting towards the place where the sound came from.
The source of the sound was a statue, which was the strange bird with three wings. The strange bird had two wings on its ribs, which were symmetrical, but a tumor protruded from the root of the wings, and another wing grew out, standing straight between the two wings, like a cattail leaf fan.
In an instant, the statue of the strange bird was shrouded in golden light, and circles of golden locks fell continuously, forming a cage out of thin air.
But Master Xin was still a step slower. Before the golden lock ring fell, the strange bird had come alive, with a frightening fierce light in its eyes. Its wings suddenly flapped, and the middle wing burst into silver light, as if it could tear the void, and its figure disappeared in an instant.
Master Xin's expression changed slightly, and with a hook of his finger, the golden lock opened with a click, and the body fell rapidly. With a "bang", the strange bird was knocked down, and the strange bird fell into the water, splashing a bunch of water.
Not only the strange bird came alive, but the three statues closest to them almost jumped down at the same time and rushed towards everyone.
Having entered the mausoleum, Pei Gongsheng had to take action. He had not retracted the purple needle and pointed it at the center of the eyebrows of a monster in the air. Qin Sang did not sit idly by, and also used the Gray Warbler Sword to stab a monster. There was only one left, and it was much easier for the Xin family monks to deal with it.
'Crack! ’
Qin Sang succeeded first. The monster was split in half by a sword, and immediately stiffened and fell into the water, turning into two ordinary stone sculptures.
Then it was the one that Pei Gongfeng dealt with. The monster was first pierced through the forehead by a purple needle, but the monster had no vital points. Pei Gongfeng changed his mantra, and purple light burst out in the monster's body, dismembering it. The monster was solved and shattered into a pile of rocks.
The Xin family cultivators were working together to deal with the last one, and it seemed that they were about to succeed.
“Not strong…”
Qin Sang secretly evaluated the strength of the monsters. The four monsters were only at the level of the Spiritualization Stage.
But for a tomb guardian beast of this level, the identity of the tomb owner would not be too high. If it came from the Ziwei Palace, it would not be a very important place, which was different from what he expected.
However, it is possible that with the passage of time, the strength of the tomb-guarding beasts is also declining, and they have just come in, and the real danger may still be ahead.
The four monsters were quickly solved, and then there was a continuous sound of clicking. All the monsters came to life, jumped off the stone platform together, and rushed towards them, each with their own magical powers.
For a moment, the clouds danced wildly, and ice and fire flew together. Fortunately, the monks of the Xin family cooperated tacitly. Qin Sang and Pei Gongsheng took action from time to time, and finally killed the monsters one by one.
"Thank you, Elder Qin and Pei Gongsheng for taking action to resolve the crisis, otherwise our Xin family might lose manpower again," after a fierce battle, Young Master Xin did not care about regulating his breath and flew forward.
Pei Gongsheng had an agreement in advance, and it was his intention to take action, but Qin Sang was invited to refine the weapon.
"I am also very curious about who would build the mausoleum here, but the premise is to ensure my safety. Young Master Xin should not have too many expectations of me," Qin Sang reminded.
Young Master Xin nodded, took out a jade slip and handed it to Qin Sang, "Elder Qin, this is one of the things you need to refine. I have prepared the spiritual materials. You can comprehend it first. Then find a suitable place and start refining."
"Just one of them?"
Qin Sang took the jade slip and seemed not to notice Pei Gongsheng's scrutiny. He glanced at it and found that he was asked to refine a magic weapon, a ferry.
He carefully checked the details. Refining this ferry was just tedious. It was not difficult for him. It just took some time. Qin Sang did not ask about the function of the ferry. He concentrated on comprehending it, so as not to make a mistake and lose his reputation.
The statue was broken and there was no sign of recovery for the time being. Everyone crossed the lake and came to the other side of the lake and found an entrance with steps.
The entrance was almost filled with water plants. Everyone cleared the water plants and saw a stone staircase leading down.
"It seems that the tomb is layered. We are now on the first floor," Luo Guanshi guessed.
"There is a seal inside!" A cultivator from the Xin family used his spiritual sense to explore and made a new discovery.
Everyone entered in a line and saw an ancient seal blocking the way. After a brief investigation, they knew that it was the same as the ancient ban on the stone gate.
As before, Young Master Xin walked alone to the seal, put her palm close to it, and asked Pei Gongsheng to help her break the seal.
This time, Qin Sang looked more carefully. When the black light appeared, something seemed to appear in her palm. Young Master Xin disguised herself very well and used magic formulas as a cover-up, which had deceived him before.
Qin Sang's eyes flashed, "It seems that the Xin family really got something related to this place..."
The seal was broken by the purple needle, and another tomb passage appeared in front of them, with similar scenery.
When everyone walked into the tomb passage, they immediately smelled a faint fragrance.
At this time, Qin Sang felt that the beating inside the Qianjun Ring was stronger, and the trace of connection became clearer, and his heart could not help but move. Continue to go deeper, when the connection is clear enough, he may be able to use the Qianjun Ring to find the target directly. But there was no telling what dangers lay ahead, so it was good to have this group of people to help explore the way.
After confirming that the scent was non-toxic, everyone walked out of the tomb passage, and a sea of flowers appeared in their field of vision.
Countless flowers were in full bloom, in all colors, in clusters.
A buzzing sound came from the sea of flowers, and everyone looked closely and found that it was wasps flying around the flowers, busy eating the nectar in the stamens.
There were probably more than ten thousand wasps here, as if yellow clouds were floating above the sea of flowers.
The size of these wasps was similar to that of ordinary wasps outside, and they seemed to pose no threat to the cultivators, but after seeing the wasps, Pei Gongfeng's expression suddenly became very solemn, and Qin Sang frowned, as if he remembered something.
Just when the Xin family cultivators were unaware, a jade ruyi flew out from Pei Gongfeng's sleeves with a swish.
At the same time, Qin Sang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he blurted out, "It's a sacrificial insect! Be careful of illusions!"
Young Master Xin reacted very quickly, flipped his jade hand, and threw out a small bell. All the Xin family cultivators immediately gathered around Young Master Xin.
'Dang! '
The small bell made a deep sound.
This bell was not operated by Young Master Xin alone, but by all the Xin family cultivators. The visible ripples spread with the sound of the bell, and everyone felt clear.
They may not really believe Qin Sang, but they dare not despise any reminder from the Lianxu cultivator, even if it is a waste of effort, it is better than losing their lives.
In fact, Qin Sang did not deceive them.
He recognized the origin of this group of wasps, which was a sacrificial insect!
The term "sacrificial insect" originated from the Wu clan, not a specific spirit insect, but a class of spirit insects.
The Wu clan's Wu insect list, on the list are spirit insects suitable for making the natal insect poison, but the Wu clan's research on the way to control insects is not limited to this, and many spirit insects living in groups can also be used by them.
The few Wu clan books that Qin Sang had read recorded this kind of sacrificial insect. In ancient times, the Wu clan would lead the tribe's great witch to worship the gods of heaven and earth at a specific time. The sacrificial ceremony sometimes required the assistance of spirit insects. These spirit insects were called sacrificial insects and enjoyed a noble status in the tribe. Together with the great witch, they enjoyed the offerings of the entire tribe.
This kind of sacrificial insects often have similar characteristics and are good at magic such as illusion and delusion. Qin Sang guessed that it might be to let the people of the tribe immerse themselves in the ceremony, without distraction, and worship from the heart.
This group of wasps is a kind of sacrificial insect.
"There are actually Wu clan sacrificial insects here. Could it be that my initial guess was correct? This place is the tomb of the great Wu clan?"
Qin Sang was also confused.
What is the origin of this place? Will there be any relics left by the powerful witch clan in Ziwei Palace?
According to the legend, it is the human swordsman who conquers the boundary wall, but the demons outside the boundary are the enemies of the entire world. Will there be people with lofty ideals in the Wu clan who will fight with Sword Master Ziwei?
Almost at the same time that Qin Sang issued the reminder, the sacrificial insects also discovered them. The yellow clouds suddenly solidified. All the sacrificial insects turned around and faced them directly. The 'buzzing' sound suddenly increased and became extremely harsh.
'call! call! ’
The wind suddenly picked up, the yellow clouds spread at an alarming speed, and the surrounding area became dim for an instant.
The jade Ruyi enshrined by Pei exudes clear brilliance and resists yellow clouds.
The bells kept ringing, each one more rapid than the other. Ripple and Huang Yun were fighting against each other, but they could only be forced to defend and shrink inward little by little. The monks of the Xin family were trembling with fear. Fortunately, Qin Sang warned him in time.
Qin Sang was protected by the Jade Buddha and was not affected at all. He did not forget to show off, and said through the message: "The sacrificial insects are only threatening in groups. Individual strength is not strong. Let's hold on to our position and work together to exterminate the insects."
Before he finished speaking, the Gray Warbler sword slashed at the insect swarm.
After successfully blocking the first wave of attacks from the sacrificial insects, everyone was not injured. They followed Qin Sang's orders and began to attack the sacrificial insects. However, they saw Qin Sang leaving the place and flying towards the depths of the insect swarm with his sword.
Qin Sang remembered that some of the sacrificial insects cultivated through the secret techniques of the witch clan could produce a treasure called gall crystal, which was a rare secret medicine for controlling insects. Feeding spiritual insects with gall crystals will have many benefits, but cultivating sacrificial insects is extremely difficult, and only large tribes in the Witch Clan can do it.
This group of sacrificial insects has been trapped here for an unknown number of years, and there should be some gall crystals left behind.
Gray Warbler opened the way with his sword and rushed into the densest place of the insect swarm. He saw a flower tree. The flowers blooming on the flower tree are as big as a baby's fist, and the flower shape is very strange, like round-necked pots hanging on the tree.
Qin Sang noticed at a glance that there were more than a dozen flower pots among them, which were more crystal clear than others, as if they had transformed into jade-like materials after a long period of time.
The flower pot is full of things.
Qin Sang's face was filled with joy, and she ducked in front of the flower tree and looked at a flower pot, which was filled with yellowish crystal stones. The pot was full and even with the mouth of the pot.
It's Ying Jing!
Normal gall crystals have a honey-like texture, but these have solidified into hard crystals.
The quantity was less than Qin Sang expected, not a tree full of gall crystals. However, the spar-like gall crystal appears purer than the normal gall crystal in the records, and the medicinal effect should also be changed. ()
