After spending so much effort to descend into this bottomless abyss, only to come back empty-handed? Gui Bugui cursed angrily, wishing he could grab the remains of the old man Tianji and shake them three times to see if he could shake out something.
"If you are asked to practice the Great Destiny Technique, you will definitely end up with a bad outcome! If the first of the Three Thousand Avenues is really easy to cultivate, people in the world will not have to practice it even if they are struggling with their lives? Fate is also luck, although not all of it is
It is destiny, but it is also a secret of heaven. If you really understand it, can you still act on behalf of heaven?"
Having said this, Gui Bu felt emotional in his heart. Looking at the miserable remains on the bed, he shook his head and said: "Everyone says that at the end of this path is the Dharma of eternal life, which can coexist with heaven. However, in our mortal bodies, even the Immortal Sect has returned.
You are so bold to dare to practice the Great Destiny Technique without touching it... Hey, Mr. Liu, did you listen to me?"
"Ah?" Liu Qinghuan turned around: "What?"
"I've been talking for so long, but no one has listened at all?" Gui Bugui rolled his eyes: "What are you looking at? Are you looking at it so intently?"
Liu Qinghuan pointed to the lampstand standing on the stone table and said, "Senior, do you think this lamp is a bit... weird?"
Gui Bugui walked over and looked at it: "What's so strange? Isn't it just a bunch of rootless fire? Although it's rare, it's of little use other than staying alive."
"I'm talking about the lamp holder."
I saw that the lamp holder was in the shape of a beast, with a body like a sheep and deer, green mane attached to it, and wide eyes, giving people an extremely majestic feeling. And in the middle of the head, there was a cone-shaped head.
A single horn, the cluster of rootless fire falls on the tip of the horn, as if emerging from the horn.
"Oh, this carving is... the magical beast Xie Zhi?" Gui Bugui said: "The carving method is unique and not common nowadays. It seems that this lamp holder is an ancient object, and it may be extremely old."
Liu Qinghuan held his hands and recalled: "I remember that there was a similar ancient object in the cave in front, which was an incense burner and a tripod."
Gui Bugui said disapprovingly: "Perhaps Tianji collected it from elsewhere and used it to decorate the cave. No one would want to destroy such a useless thing, so it is easier to preserve than ordinary magic weapons."
"Really?" Liu Qinghuan felt something was wrong, but as for what was wrong, he couldn't find it for a while.
The incense burner tripod was just that, but the lamp holder always felt like he had seen it somewhere before, and he felt a little uncomfortable. The carved haechi were less righteous and more evil.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. The mythical beast like the Haechi is called a legal beast. It is said that it is responsible for punishment, can distinguish right from wrong, and can recognize good and evil, loyal and traitorous. If it hears that there is something wrong or guilty, it will use the stick on its head.
The one-horned horn will nudge him to death, so he is often placed in the execution hall or litigation prison...
"Prison!"
An idea flashed in Liu Qinghuan's mind, and she finally remembered.
Before entering the Yin Yang Ruins, due to the turbulence of time, he returned to the Abyss of Regret built by Immortal Yi for a period of time. Because Immortal Yi was the one chosen by Heaven to punish him during his lifetime, he regretted it.
Yuan is a large prison. At the door of the prison stands a stone sculpture of a Haechi as tall as a person, which is almost exactly the same as this lampstand.
He had to admit that perhaps Old Man Tianji was really easy to collect, otherwise it would not be possible to explain why this stone sculpture of Haechi, which was usually placed at the entrance of the prison, was placed in the training room.
However, Gui Bugui was too impatient to study the lampstand and had already moved it somewhere else, looking around with his Kai Ming Eye Bead.
The two of them searched the room again, but found nothing. In the end, Gui Bugui swept the six nails with the real magic word that had nailed the old man Tianji to death in disdain.
"Boy, do you want it?"
Liu Qinghuan shook his head: "Forget it, this kind of thing is evil and poisonous, and it's hard for me to control it. If senior, if it's useful, just keep it all."
And it was hard for him to argue with Gui Bugui over such a thing.
Gui Bugui chuckled, took out a piece of cloth, wrapped his hand, and then carefully pulled out the spike from the remains while muttering:
"Just do good deeds. Take away these nails, and the heavenly sacrifice will be able to find final peace. As for any grudges or grudges, it has been so long, and it has nothing to do with us. If you want revenge, just go to the person who harmed you..."
As he spoke, as the spikes were taken out, the bones on the couch cracked and soon turned into ashes inch by inch.
Liu Qinghuan stood aside in silence, watching Gui Bugui cover the ashes with the Taoist robes on the remains, and then tidied them up a little.
The two returned to the passage outside. Looking from inside, they saw that there was actually a small door in the corner of the wall when they came in. As soon as they opened it, Zhenzhen, who had been waiting for a long time, ran over.
"You guys figured it out, I thought..."
"Wait!" At this time, Gui Bugui suddenly shouted: "Why is there a Taoist door here!"
"Huh?" Liu Qinghuan looked over, and under the clear illumination of Kai Tian's eyes, he saw traces of another door appearing on the right passage.
"There are other restrictions on the door."
"Easy to say!" Gui Bugui showed excitement. As he flipped his wrist, a complex seal condensed in front of him, and it hit the door with a "bang" sound.
"That's right, maybe it's Lao Tianji's secret hiding room inside. Now you don't have to go back empty-handed!"
The restrictions on the door were also a bit unusual. It took Gui Bugui a lot of trouble and half an hour to unlock them.
Another long dark corridor appeared behind the door, and a turbid and cold smell wafted towards the face, like a darkroom that had not been opened for a long time, with an unpleasant musty smell.
Gui Bugui laughed three times, put his head in to take a look, then walked in with his feet.
Yuzun had been squatting in front of the door out of curiosity for a long time and refused to go in. She didn't know the meaning of caution or fear, so she followed him in without saying hello.
Liu Qinghuan sighed helplessly behind the two of them and could only follow them.
This corridor is long and deep, but also very wide. It doesn't go very far before it is wide enough for carriages and horses to pass through, and it leads to the deeper underground in the shape of a slope.
The ground gradually became uneven, with potholes everywhere. The stones on the two walls were no longer smooth, and seemed to have not been polished at all. Not only was it damp, but there was also thick black dirt deposited in many places.
Liu Qinghuan stopped and frowned: "There are pictures on the wall!"
He waved his sleeves, but found that he could not remove the layer of black dirt, but he could still vaguely see the obvious scratch marks under the black dirt. The lines were simple but exuded a primitive atmosphere. With just a few strokes, he
A majestic battle scene is outlined, with figures in various costumes fighting each other with swords, and various ancient beasts mixed in, fighting in a chaotic mess.
He was looking carefully at the patterns on the wall when he suddenly heard a scream in front of him!
Yuzun fell to the ground with a splash as if she had been knocked down. The next moment, something grabbed her feet and dragged her into the wall!
A small hole appeared in the wall at some point. Liu Qinghuan was startled and hurriedly flew over there.
But Gui Bugui was getting closer to her, and with a flash of sword light in his hand, the long sword with a thick back and heavy edge appeared in his hand. At this time, it was as light as a thin sword, and it slashed towards the entrance of the cave in the blink of an eye!
However, there was a clanging sound, and the blade of the sword struck out with a flash of fire in the darkness. Under the firelight, a black thin rope was wrapped around the Yu Zun's ankle, and he quickly retracted into the cave.
Gui Bugui grabbed Yu Zun and pulled her away from the stone wall, with an expression of indescribable disgust on his face.
"What the hell!"
Liu Qinghuan landed next to the two of them and asked, "What's going on?"
Gui Bugui frowned: "See for yourself!"
He turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the cave, and saw that there was a stone room inside. There was a huge chair in the middle of the stone room. It was the kind of chair that could be seen at a glance as being used for punishment. The backrest, armrests, and everywhere where he sat were...
It is covered with dense spikes and has countless thin iron chains hanging down.
Under the seat, there were layers of white bones piled up, mixed with rags or tangled hair.
What's even more creepy is that even though no one is controlling it, the iron chains are crawling around on their own like snakes, making a rustling sound.
Liu Qinghuan was silent for a moment and said: "This is a prison cell. As long as you are dragged to that iron chair, your body and soul will be imprisoned in the chair and suffer thousands of piercings to the heart. Unless the last drop of blood is drained,
Otherwise, you will never break free from the chains."
"Of course I know it's a prison cell." Gui Bugui spat: "And I also know that with the monk's self-healing ability, he can't bleed to death even if he sits on an iron chair. In other words, it is equivalent to being tortured to the end of his life.
You will die at the end of your life."
Liu Qinghuan glanced at Yu Zun and said: "Fortunately, the one who is entangled is Zhenzhen. If it were you and me, the iron chain would dig into flesh and blood, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to break free."
He also felt strange: "Why did the old man Tianji build such a cell? This place is too far away from other places in his cave."
Gui Bugui felt a little unhappy when he thought that he had collected the remains of that person before: "You know the person, the face, but not the heart, who knows! Let's go, don't get close to the entrance of the cave, and look forward - what secrets do I care about now?
I have completely given up hope!”
The three of them leaned against the wall and carefully crossed the entrance of the cave. Soon they discovered that the situation here was really weird, beyond their imagination.
After the cell with the iron chair, one cell after another appeared on both sides of the corridor.
Some are filled with all kinds of bizarre instruments of torture, while others are filled with terrifying mechanisms that can cause raging demonic fires to rise when touched. Some are just small stone chambers, while others are huge pits.
There was a pool of green water at the bottom of the pit, bubbling and gurgling.
In one room, there was a black and red skeleton, which looked like the bones of some monster beast; in another room, there were countless piles of white bones.
The atmosphere became solemn. The vastness of the prison deep underground was far larger than the small cave of the old man Tianji, and there were various traces that were left behind after extremely long years everywhere.
Liu Qinghuan and Gui Bugui looked at each other and came up with an idea.
"There is no way this place was built by the old man Tianji!"
