With the input of mana, the token finally showed a different change. Different from the lifelessness in the past, a layer of blue light suddenly appeared on its surface at this moment, as if it had been activated.
However, there were no other visions other than this.
Looking at the token with flashing blue light in his hand, Mo Juren couldn't help but frown. What's the use of just glowing? Can't it also be used for lighting?
He couldn't help but wonder if he was overthinking it. This thing was of no use at all? At least not for this place?
Han Li and Xu Qingcheng looked at each other in confusion, but did not dare to disturb them. They could only stand there and wait quietly.
After some thinking, Mo Juren suddenly had an idea in his mind, and then his body flashed and shot into the stone door in front of him.
】
The moment he finally entered the inner hall, the token in his hand changed again, and suddenly a dazzling blue light burst out. Then, a stream of information flowed straight down the palm into the sea of consciousness.
"This is..." After understanding the content of the message, Mo Juren was startled at first, and then showed a look of joy. The message turned out to be a road map leading to an unknown place.
According to his guess, this token is most likely from the hand of the Ice Soul Fairy, but he doesn’t know if it has anything to do with the ‘Void Sky Star Map’ mentioned in the jade slip?
Thinking of this, he became more and more excited.
Putting away his thoughts, a white light flashed in his hand again, revealing a palm-sized jade slip. This was exactly what Ling Yuling had given him. It was a topographic map of the inner hall, from the first floor to the fifth floor, and all the places to be careful about.
Including some dangerous restrictions, ancient puppets, and the most appropriate route and many other information.
This is also one of the things he relies on here. At least he can still enter the fifth level without anyone else leading him.
You must know that the situation in the inner hall is far more complicated than imagined. Not to mention the dangers, the route alone is a big difficulty. From the first floor to the fourth floor, there are all maze-like places. There is no preparation.
Under the premise, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to find the road.
His spiritual consciousness penetrated the jade slip, and then he carefully compared it with the route map sent by the token. After about a while, he finally determined the answer. This route matched the map on the first floor.
This was somewhat beyond his expectation. He thought he would be on the upper level, at least on the second floor. After all, there are a large number of treasure rooms scattered in the inner hall, but they become more precious as you go up.
Just on the first floor is a bit unreasonable.
He didn't believe that the route specifically indicated in the token was just leading to an ordinary treasure room.
At this time, Han Li and Xu Qingcheng also walked in at the same time. Mo Juren did not hesitate, greeted the two of them and walked straight ahead.
……
About an hour later, the originally dim teleportation array once again emitted dazzling white light, and then two figures appeared, which were the two elders in white from Star Palace.
The two of them glanced around a few times and made sure that no one else was there, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that they have all entered. These old monsters would never have thought that our star palace had cracked the teleportation restriction here thousands of years ago, and they can enter this place at any time as they please." One of them whispered softly.
Smiled.
"Don't be careless!" The cold-faced old man looked stern and continued, "This plan is different from the past. There will definitely be a tough battle to fight next. You and I still need to be very energetic." p>
"After planning for so long, with the help of two Taoist brothers, Li Hen and Xuan Kun, and even borrowing several top-level treasures from the palace, there will be no problem. The only thing we need to worry about is that the other party escapes.
Maybe, after all, if we let him hide in the treasure room, he can leave early, and then there will be nothing we can do..."
"This time I specially brought the 'Sealing Sky Net' and a large number of 'Forbidden Spirit Talismans' to deal with such a situation. I think they will be surprised..."
Having said this, the two of them couldn't help but laugh sinisterly. Without hesitation, they immediately turned into two white lights and flew into the palace door.
……
Time goes back to an hour ago.
After entering the palace gate, Mo Juren naturally did not choose to go to the second level teleportation array, but directly followed the route in the token.
It has to be said that the layout here is indeed a bit complicated, like a large maze. In addition, the consciousness is restricted to a certain extent, which makes it feel dizzy when you are in it.
Fortunately, he had the exact route guide, so he didn't get lost.
All around are criss-crossing bluestone passages, tall and solid thick walls, and every time you pass a crossroads, a square stone door engraved with strange runes will appear.
The appearance and size of these stone gates are the same, with a length and width of about ten feet, but their orientations are different. There seems to be no pattern. However, their surfaces are all shining with a dull white light, which obviously contains restrictions.<
/p>
Looking at so many stone gates, Han Li and Xu Qingcheng were obviously curious. After asking Mo Juren, they found out that they turned out to be stone chambers where treasures were hidden.
What is more helpless is that the restrictions in these stone chambers are very special, and you can enter with the 'Remnant Map of the Void Sky'. However, once you actually step into them, you cannot return.
Of course, it is very suitable for those monks who want to leave Xutian Palace early.
After hearing this explanation, Han Li and the others immediately lost interest in these stone gates. It doesn't take much to know that the treasure room on the first floor is definitely not too precious.
Besides, with the master here, there is no need for him to worry about these things.
While I was thinking about it, suddenly, there was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the passage ahead. Immediately afterwards, the sound sounded one after another, as if something huge was approaching.
Mo Juren thought of something almost instantly, then his expression darkened and he said:
"You two, step back, something is coming."
"Do you need me to take action?" Xu Qingcheng felt that the matter was not simple, and frowned slightly.
"You really can't help with this thing." Mo Juren shook his head directly. Of course, he was not making excuses, but telling the truth. The passage is too narrow, and ordinary monks can't use it at all.
What will appear immediately is the wolf-headed puppet unique to the first level, which has strong melee strength. In this case, it is most suitable for him to deal with it with his powerful physical body.
After blood fusion again and again, his physical body has continued to evolve, and has already reached a terrifying level. Even compared to Man Beard's Demonic Power, it is no worse at all.
He is very confident in this aspect, so he is not afraid at all when facing the upcoming ancient puppets.
The sound of heavy footsteps got closer and closer, and finally, with a flash of silver light around the corner, a huge figure with a height of one foot appeared in sight.
The whole body is made of unknown silver metal. It is tall and powerful, with two strange black blades attached to its thick arms, and its head looks like a giant wolf.
Although it is a puppet, the giant wolf's movements are not sluggish, and a pair of ferocious wolf eyes burst out with an icy and deathly cold light.
As soon as this wolf-headed puppet appeared, a huge sense of oppression surged over.
When Han Li and Xu Qingcheng who were at the back saw this, their expressions changed, and they looked ahead with some worry. Although they knew that the other party's physical body was ridiculously strong, facing this kind of iron man whose body was made of unknown metal.
I still have some pimples, but I can’t help but feel a little worried.
Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged, and without any hesitation, he immediately turned into an afterimage and attacked forward. Since it was a hand-to-hand fight, and in such a narrow environment, there were naturally no tricks. Crushing with absolute strength was the way to go.<
/p>
The wolf-headed puppet has no emotions and will not be afraid. When faced with the attacking enemy, it will also hold up its double blades and fight back with all its strength.
The battle between the two sides can be described as "crazy and clumsy", without any skills at all, and purely head-on.
I have to admit that this kind of existence made purely of metal is indeed a bit abnormal. At least in the battles Mo Juren has encountered, no one has such defense.
However, encountering him is a disaster for the other party. After all, it is just a puppet, and its flexibility is still a bit poor. Once the defense is ineffective, the threat will be greatly reduced.
Loud noises were heard, mixed with the harsh sound of metal friction. Soon, a pair of thick arms of the puppet were removed by him one after another.
At this time, the opponent's combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and Mo Juren is pursuing the victory. Suddenly, a ring bangs on the opponent's chest. In the next moment, a strange crystal stone shining with green brilliance is dug out by him.
Without the presence of the crystal, the wolf-headed puppet seemed to have no soul and became sluggish in an instant. The next moment, it fell to the ground with a "boom".
"That's it!" Han Li and the two men behind him looked at each other in confusion. They thought it would take a lot of effort, but it was done after just a few thoughts. From this, it can be seen that the tyranny of the master's physical body is even more terrifying than they expected.<
/p>
As he walked closer, looking at the motionless remains of the huge puppet on the ground, Han Li suddenly felt something in his heart and said quickly: "Master, do you still want these materials?"
"You keep it." Mo Juren knew what the other party was thinking and waved his hand directly. The latter suddenly smiled and then waved his arm to put the broken puppet into the storage bag.
"Master, what is this?" Looking at the green crystal in Mo Juren's hand, Han Li asked again. After all, it was dug out from the puppet, so it must be some important part.
"This is something called a 'soul stone', which is the core of ancient monks' puppet refining. As for the specific origin, I don't know the teacher..." Mo Juren did not go into too much detail to avoid disappointment.
.After all, it is still unclear whether Han Li can enter the land of darkness again.
He directly threw the soul stone to the opponent and said again,
"This all belongs to the category of ancient puppetry, which has basically been lost now. If you like it, you can pay attention to this aspect of information in the future."
"Thank you, Master. Disciple understands." Han Li nodded solemnly, not too disappointed. On the other hand, Xu Qingcheng, seeing this, suddenly sighed softly and said,
"There are some descriptions of ancient puppetry in the manuscripts left by our ancestors, but unfortunately there is no specific method for refining them. Otherwise, I could give you a copy directly."
At this point, she suddenly paused, then took out a blank jade slip, burned it, and then threw it towards the other party and continued,
"This is information about ancient puppetry. It is a bit general and may be helpful to you."
"Thank you, senior, for the generous gift." Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain. Han Li was naturally overjoyed and quickly saluted and thanked him.
After a moment of delay, the three set off again. However, with the appearance of the first wolf-headed puppet, the number of puppets they encountered gradually increased. Even though Mo Juren was physically strong, it was quite difficult.
A lot of tricks.
It wasn't until several hours passed and countless passages passed that we finally reached our destination.
Looking at the tall stone wall in front of them, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little stunned. Especially Han Li and the two people behind them, all of whom could not hide their surprise.
There is no road ahead, and there is nothing around except three thick stone walls.
This is obviously a dead end. What is Master doing here?
Mo Juren frowned. The end point of the route guidance in the token is here, and it will never go wrong. But, why is there nothing?
Is it possible that, like the situation on the fifth floor, there is a hidden teleportation array behind the wall?
Although the influence of the inner hall on spiritual consciousness is limited, it is not completely suppressed and can still be detected from a certain distance. Thinking of this, he immediately let go of his spiritual consciousness and probed into the inside of the stone wall.
Sure enough, behind the stone wall in the center, there was actually an independent secret room. However, he did not notice the building similar to the teleportation array.
What's even more peculiar is that there is a stone door on the stone wall that looks as smooth as a mirror.
This stone gate is built so secretly that you really can’t find it if you don’t look carefully.
He reached out and groped for a while somewhere on the wall, and then suddenly pushed hard. With a loud rumbling sound, a huge stone door that was several feet high was slowly pushed open.
"Secret room!" Han Li and Xu Qingcheng's eyes lit up one after another, feeling a sense of joy at discovering a treasure. However, as the three of them entered, what they saw was completely different from what they expected.
This is indeed a secret room, with an area quite large, more than ten feet square. However, in such a large stone room, except for a mysterious pentagonal pattern carved in the central area, there is nothing else around it.<
/p>
"This is a teleportation circle?" Xu Qingcheng wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows and said speculatively.
"Teleportation array?" Mo Juren was stunned for a moment and asked quickly,
"Are you sure?"
The pattern in front of me is very different from the teleportation array in the traditional sense. At least there is no way to know where the spirit stones are stored, let alone how to activate them.
"It's basically confirmed, but this formation is a special teleportation formation. The base of the formation is connected to the surrounding spiritual veins. There is no need to use spiritual stones to drive it. To open it, you must have a specific medium."
Xu Qingcheng nodded, and then she moved lightly towards the picture in front of her, her beautiful eyes scanning back and forth, trying to discover the key point.
Master and apprentice Mo Juren were not idle either, and they also tried their best to observe and search.
