Chapter 2370 Turtle Shell
In front of the Golden Gate.
Having been cracked before, they quickly mastered the method of opening the door and worked together to open the Golden Gate.
Just as they opened the ninth-level golden gate, the Tianmu Butterfly pressed its body against a stone pillar in the hall. With the cover of the wave caused by the opening of the golden gate, a illusory divine light flashed quietly on the butterfly's wings, and the Tianmu Butterfly disappeared out of thin air.
Wu Tuxian and Meishan Yuanjun were completely unaware of this and were staring at the Golden Gate. As soon as the Golden Gate opened, a beam of golden light flew out from the gap.
"Such pure Gengjin energy!"
Wu Tuxian raised his hand and grabbed it, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
As the golden gate opened, they saw more than a dozen Gengjin Qi flying on the ninth floor of the golden pagoda.
There are no golden pillars on this floor, only an opened golden coffin.
As expected, the golden coffin was empty, but judging by the remaining Gengjin aura, the inheritance was probably sealed in the golden coffin with extremely pure Gengjin, and that Gengjin should have been refined using some secret method, which was somewhat different from the Gengjin commonly seen in the world of immortal cultivation.
Now both Gengjin and the inheritance have been taken away.
"The search was so thorough, nothing was left behind," said Meishan Yuanjun angrily.
They did not give up and searched the ninth floor carefully. Only this golden coffin tainted with the energy of Gengjin was of some value.
"I'm afraid other places have also been dug deep and robbed," said Meishan Yuanjun.
Qin Sang nodded, "I just saw a bat monument below, and the things under the monument were also taken away."
The mausoleum is very large, and those floating mountains may all contain treasures, but the first person to open the mausoleum will obviously not show mercy. If it were not located in the Arctic ice field, the ancient aura of the six heavens would be too strong, and I am afraid that the entire mausoleum would be occupied as a blessed land or a cave.
With no other options, they turned and headed downstairs.
When passing the eighth floor, the Tianmu Butterfly quietly disappeared back into his sleeve. Qin Sang retracted his hand into his sleeve and felt something falling into his palm, giving him a cool feeling.
This object is oval, smooth to the touch, and slightly raised. One can clearly feel the crisscrossing lines on the back. It is actually a tortoise shell.
The tortoise shell was not even as big as Qin Sang's palm, and there was nothing magical about it in his hand. Qin Sang rubbed it a few times and then put it away.
After leaving the golden pagoda, Wu Tuxian suggested dividing the entire mausoleum into three areas, with each of them occupying one area and searching on their own. Whoever was lucky enough to find the lost treasure would own it.
Qin Sang and Meishan Yuanjun had no objection and immediately divided the area and each went their own way.
He searched the floating mountains one by one and found that they were all clean. When Qin Sang returned to the golden pagoda, Wu Tuxian and Meishan Yuanjun were already waiting there.
After communicating with each other, both demons looked helpless, with hatred and jealousy in their hearts.
The original treasures in the mausoleum must have been extremely rich. If they had obtained them, they would have no worries in their future practice. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a chance to defy fate and change their destiny. However, they missed it.
Wu Tuxian suggested: "Although it has been plundered, this mausoleum is so vast and it is a pity to leave it abandoned here. Why don't we work together to seal this place and think about whether there is any way to make use of it in the future."
Compared to before, the hostility between the two monsters has greatly decreased. Meishan Yuanjun did not deliberately contradict Wu Tuxian and agreed: "There is more than one entrance to the mausoleum. Why not change the formation and leave only one entrance? Then divide the key into three, and each of us keeps one."
If they could really make use of this abandoned mausoleum and gain huge rewards in the future, the three of them would hold the keys together and their interests would be tied together.
Qin Sang looked at Meishan Yuanjun, then at Wutuxian, and said with a smile: "It would be great if the two Taoist friends could put aside their grudges."
Meishan Yuanjun glanced at Wu Tuxian and said, "We used to have nothing to do with each other, but the grudge started because of this mausoleum."
Now that the treasure is gone and there is no life-and-death feud between them, it would be better for them to each take a step back, put aside their grudges and laugh it off. Maybe they can even become allies.
This is also the reason why they were able to accept Qin Sang so easily.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more careful one is about his reputation. Who would be so stupid as to make enemies for no reason?
Having reached a conclusion, Qin Sang and the two demons immediately began to act.
Qin Sang disguised himself as a ferocious monster that had not yet walked out of the ice field. It was impossible for him to be very proficient in the art of formations. He mainly obeyed the orders of the two monsters. According to his observation, Meishan Yuanjun had a deep attainment in the art of formations.
The formation techniques of the demon clan are very different from the ones Qin Sang learned, and have distinct characteristics, which made Qin Sang very interested.
As the saying goes, "Misfortunes often bring good fortune", I should be able to see a lot of new things on this trip.
It took Meishan Yuanjun and Wutuxian ten full days to decide on the method of making the changes.
When changing the formation, Qin Sang asked Wu Tuxian about the origin of the tomb.
There was no need to hide anything at this point, so Wu Tuxian revealed the truth and told a legend. "The legend about this tomb has been circulating for a long time. It is said that a great saint died for unknown reasons. After his death, he left his inheritance in the tomb, waiting for the destined one, but no one knows the location of the tomb. This legend is brought up every thousand years, claiming to have found clues to the tomb, attracting treasure hunters to enter the ice field, but in the end it was confirmed that the clues were all false. Until some time ago, another clue to the tomb appeared in the world, and the old witch and I were the first to get it. We found that this clue was quite credible and found it all the way here. Now I think it must have been leaked out after the tomb was opened for some reason..."
As he spoke, Wu Tuxian remembered something and said with a smile, "It is said that the great sage came out of the Arctic ice field, so it has long been speculated that the great sage would place his tomb in the ice field, and it turned out to be true. Maybe the great sage and Taoist Mingyue have a connection!"
……
'call! call! ’
A snowy mountain, covered with snow and cold wind.
Suddenly, a beam of white light descended from the top of the mountain, and a series of human figures appeared.
At this time, the tomb had been sealed. Meishan Yuanjun turned her hand over, and a plum blossom appeared in her palm. It immediately split into three flowers, one for Qin Sang and one for Wu Tuxian.
The plum blossom is the key, and only when three plum blossoms come together can the tomb be opened.
"Fellow Daoist Mingyue, will you not return to the mountain with me?"
Wu Tuxian sent a message and just found out that Qin Sang was going to stay, which made him very disappointed. He had originally planned to make great efforts to win over Qin Sang.
"This happened suddenly, and I have some trivial matters that I haven't dealt with yet. I will definitely go south to Wutu Mountain and pay you a visit soon!"
Qin Sang said sincerely.
Seeing that Qin Sang had made up his mind, Wu Tuxian could not persuade him any more, "It's a deal! I'll prepare the bed for you, and I'm waiting for you, Taoist friend!"
"Farewell!"
"Goodbye!"
Wu Tuxian and Meishan Yuanjun said goodbye immediately and led the group of monsters to fly away, leaving only Qin Sang.
Until the escaping light disappeared into the sky, Qin Sang withdrew his gaze and looked up.
There was a clear blue sky above his head, but Qin Sang knew that there was a door hidden there. Even with only a plum blossom in his hand, he could come and go freely.
Qin Sang shook his sleeves, took out the tortoise shell and held it in front of him.
He had been holding back and had not tried to activate the tortoise shell, for fear of causing any unusual changes in the mausoleum.
Upon learning that this tomb might be the burial place of the Demon Saint, Qin Sang attached even greater importance to the tortoise shell.
In ancient times, people believed that the patterns on the tortoise's back were naturally magical, and the sages of the human race would use tortoise shells to predict good and bad luck. Qin Sang looked at it carefully, but could not tell anything from the patterns alone. Using his spiritual sense, he could see nothing unusual about the tortoise shell, as if it was just an ordinary tortoise shell.
After making sure that the two monsters had gone far away, Qin Sang activated the plum blossom in his hand. At the same time, the Tianmu Butterfly flew out of his dantian, shedding illusory divine light, and then turned into a stream of light, and the next moment it had entered the interior of the tomb.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the golden pagoda. Qin Sang broke the golden film, climbed to the eighth floor of the golden pagoda, and his eyes fell on the golden pillar on the right.
The tortoise shell was taken out from under the golden pillar.
There is a hidden space at the root of this golden pillar. Even Qin Sang didn't notice it. It was discovered by Tianmu Die.
If you don't know the inside story, you can't get the tortoise shell even if you break the golden pillar.
"What is the meaning of the tomb owner hiding the tortoise shell here?"
Qin Sang held the tortoise shell in his right hand, lost in thought, trying to understand the intentions of the tomb owner.
Since the owner of the tomb left behind a legacy, it means that he hoped that the legacy could continue. However, he hid the tortoise shell in front of the door to the ninth floor, a place that is most easily overlooked. This is indeed a bit strange.
Is this also a test for future generations?
Just now, Qin Sang poured his true energy into it, but the tortoise shell showed no reaction. He thought it was in the wrong place, so he tried it here, and got the same result.
If it was just an ordinary tortoise shell, how could a demon saint deliberately hide it here?
"Could it be..."
Qin Sang's heart moved, and he activated the Blue Luan Demon Thunder. The blue thunder flowed along the pattern of the tortoise shell and slowly penetrated into it.
The next moment, the surface of the tortoise shell suddenly turned black, and then the entire tortoise shell melted into a black light and shot towards Qin Sang.
Qin Sang was startled, but fortunately he was not completely unprepared. Mingshan Armor immediately appeared and formed several barriers in front of him. Unexpectedly, these barriers were completely ineffective. The black light acted as if nothing and instantly penetrated into Qin Sang's body.
Qin Sang's face changed slightly when something strange happened. He carefully checked his whole body and found nothing abnormal, except...
He raised his left hand and saw a bean-sized black spot on his wrist, like a mole.
Qin Sang was sure that this black mole did not exist before. It must be the mark left on his body by the black light transformed from the tortoise shell. However, he could no longer sense the tortoise shell or any unusual power, only this black mole.
He used all his strength, but was unable to expel the mole from his body. The best he could do was to make it disappear temporarily, only for it to reappear after a while, as if it had been firmly bound to him.
"What the hell is this?"
Qin Sang's face darkened.
Although he did not feel any discomfort, how could he feel comfortable with such a strange thing remaining in his body?
But Qin Sang tried various methods, but to no avail. With the last glimmer of hope, he summoned Suzaku.
After Zhuque learned the whole story, he pecked Qin Sang's wrist a few times, but he also didn't know the origin of the black mole.
Qin Sang took Zhuque around the mausoleum, trying to find the cause from the outside. Not only was this guy unable to help, but he was gloating over the misfortune and mocked Qin Sang for a while, but Qin Sang pushed the ridicule back.
In front of the exit of the mausoleum, Qin Sang looked at the black mole on his wrist, sighed helplessly, left the mausoleum, glanced around, and prepared to find a place to retreat.
Not long after, Qin Sang found a quiet place, opened a cave, and sat cross-legged.
Since there was no way to remove the mole, Qin Sang simply left it in his body and tried to sense the secret hidden in the mole.
He was extremely patient. He kept fighting after repeated failures, never getting discouraged, and was unaware of the passage of time.
Just when Qin Sang was concentrating on "fighting" the black mole, three large birds flew over the ice field.
These three big birds are similar in appearance, with sturdy bodies and wingspans of dozens of feet. They can escape into the sky with just a slight flap of their wings, and their speed is astonishing. The monsters below can only see a blurry shadow.
They have black feathers all over their bodies, as hard as iron, but they are all wearing blood-red cloaks, and they carry a murderous aura when they fly.
'Ugh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! '
Three streaks of blood fell from the sky as the three large birds transformed into three burly men, their cloaks still on their backs, fitting them perfectly in both demon and human form.
They landed on a snowy field, and the big man in the middle was obviously the leader of the three demons. He raised his hand and a hole appeared silently under his feet. The three demons fell into the ground and landed in an underground palace.
If Qin Sang, Wu Tuxian and others were here, they would be able to see that this underground palace is also a suspected tomb of a demon saint.
However, this suspected tomb is one of the entrances to the real tomb.
The leading man seemed to be very familiar with this place. His cloak fluttered behind him, and more than a dozen blood shadows shot out from under the cloak. They made strange howls and rushed towards various places of the underground palace. Then the formation was activated.
The three demons stood in the formation and found that the spiritual light flashed and suddenly went out, while they were still there. They couldn't help but change color in anger.
"Brother! Who has moved here?" the big man on the left exclaimed.
"Not here! It's the Demon Saint's Tomb! It seems that after we left, someone went in and disturbed the tomb's formation!"
The leading man said coldly, "Let's go!"
The three demons soared into the sky and circled in the sky for a while, as if they were performing some kind of secret technique. Finally, they identified a direction and flew away, and soon arrived above a snowy mountain.
The three demons landed on the top of the mountain and looked up.
The leading man took out a few iron feathers and scattered them into the sky. The iron feathers collided, making a clanging sound and bursting out gray light. Then strange light and shadows emerged in the gray light, and the outline of a formation could be vaguely seen.
In the formation, the invisible door is particularly eye-catching.
"Little tricks!"
The leading man snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. How could the formation be changed so easily? The other party could only cut off the connection between other entrances and the tomb.
He raised a magic sword, which was only slightly larger than a dagger. The magic sword did not cut towards the door, but opened another one next to it, proving that the three demons were very familiar with this formation.
"Brother, wait a minute! What if..."
His companion tried to stop him, but was too late.
The leading man opened a crack and said murderously: "Whoever is in there, kill them all!"
"Yes!"
The three demons flashed in and saw that the mausoleum was empty. The leading man snorted, "They are lucky!"
The three demons went straight to the golden pagoda, broke through the golden membrane, and quickly climbed to the ninth floor. The leading man carefully took out a magic mirror, chanted a few times, and the magic mirror rose up slowly, and the mirror light illuminated the entire hall.
"No?"
The leading man frowned and urged the magic mirror to return to the eighth floor.
The big man next to him was ecstatic, pointing at one of the golden pillars, "Brother! Here!"
The three demons rushed to move the golden pillar away, and when they opened the secret space, they were suddenly shocked and looked at each other, and they could see panic and fear in each other's eyes.
"Impossible! How could it be empty?"
