Zhang Yu ignored the movement behind him and stepped deep into the metal cabin. The doors behind him closed one by one after the two of them passed by.
After walking down the long corridor, the last door was also closed. At this moment, the two of them entered a huge dome hall, surrounded by wide spiral steps rising layer by layer. From bottom to top, they gradually retreated.
As you can see, there is a circular hall on each floor.
Xu Chengtong said: "There are seven floors here in total. I have only been to the first six floors in the past. Only Zhan Ziji has been to the last floor. I don't know what is hidden inside, but there must be good things, and the formation pivot
Right there.”
Zhang Yu glanced at this moment and saw that in the hall on the floor in front of him, there were glazed cabins. It could be seen that there were Taoist priests with withered faces lying in them. From what he could see, there were almost thirty people.
remainder.
He said: "Taoist?"
Xu Chengtong replied: "Yes, these are the Taoist soldiers who were sacrificed in Youcheng. This Taoist soldier's technique was also stolen by us from the Taoist monks in Shangchentian. It's just because it's not complete, so we use it every time for sacrifice."
All the precious medicines cost a lot of money and require a period of cultivation before they can be used."
Zhang Yu watched for a while. Although these Taoist soldiers still had their original consciousness, they were unable to disobey the orders issued by their master. They were sacrificed alive to become like this, and the torture they had experienced before was unimaginable by ordinary people.
Not only that, he could now feel that these Taoist soldiers were experiencing some kind of pain every moment, and their minds were almost crazy.
He shook his head, waved his sleeves gently, and a burst of light from his heart surged over. All the glazed cabins and the Taoist soldiers inside were dispersed, and no trace remained.
After doing this, he walked up the spiral staircase and reached the second floor.
In the hall on the second floor, there are jade square platforms half a person's height, about one hundred and twenty in number, standing here very neatly.
Each jade pedestal was placed with a magic weapon with superb spiritual light. However, the number on the left was sixty, but the number on the right was fifty-nine. It looked very asymmetrical. He couldn't help but ask: "Why is there less on the right side?"
one?"
Xu Chengtong was startled, then he pondered for a moment and said, "The more the magical artifacts are arranged in front, the more superior they are. The one that is missing should be given to his disciples by Zhan Ziji.
"
Zhang Yudao: "Isn't his disciple here?"
Xu Chengtong said: "Zhan Ziji's disciple is practicing in the main city at the moment. Zhan Ziji spent a lot of effort to send his disciple there. It is said that his disciple has an unusually good relationship with a disciple of Xuan Zun.
Zhan Ziji's ability to secure the top position is also due to his disciple's contribution."
Zhang Yudao: "Are all the magical weapons here made by you?
Xu Chengtong shook his head and said: "Only a few of them are because we lack treasure materials, so even if we can produce magic weapons through sacrifice, we still use them for our own use.
Most of the magical artifacts here have been snatched from the monks from Shangchentian over the past few decades. If the monks below have merit, they will only give one as a reward."
Zhang Yu took a look and walked forward. Opposite the empty pedestal, there was a jade bead wrapped in fluorescence. He sensed it, and there was a sound like waves of ocean waves coming from the bead.
Come.
He reached out and touched it, removing the restrictions, and took the bead into his hand. Looking back at it, he suddenly felt that the layout here became much more pleasing to the eye.
After standing for a while, he walked to the third floor, and Xu Chengtong followed him.
On the third floor were various books and scrolls. He flipped through them. Most of them contained records about practicing exercises, which were of great value. There was even a mysterious pillar here. He also tried to read it.
, many seals appeared inside, many of which he had never seen before.
He said: "Deacon Xu, you seem to have a lot of mysterious cultivators in Youcheng?"
Xu Chengtong: "There are quite a few, some were recruited by us, and some left Tianxia with Youcheng more than seventy years ago."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Deacon Xu, I have never asked you how you became a member of Youcheng?"
Xu Chengtong said helplessly: "When that powerful man left Tianxia, my teacher followed him. Later, the teacher sent a letter asking me to join him. Firstly, it was hard to disobey the teacher's order, and secondly, Tianxia was because of me.
Because of the teacher, he was always suspicious of me and couldn't stay any longer, so he had no choice but to join Youcheng with his two junior brothers."
Zhang Yu nodded. For true cultivators, the favor of spreading the Dharma is greater than that of Heaven, while the rest is secondary. Later, Xuan Ting vigorously supported Xuan Xiu, perhaps due to these reasons.
He said: "I know that one of the monks captured before is your junior brother. You said you have another junior brother, but is he also in the city?"
Xu Chengtong said: "My junior brother is much better than me. He has received the teacher's true inheritance. Now he is also in the main city and has taken the teacher's position. If I hadn't relied on his care, I would have been in trouble.
Even with my magic power, I can’t hold my position as a deacon.”
While Zhang Yu was talking to him, he flipped through the Taoist books and slips around him. He found that there were also many mentions of how to climb to the upper realm. Although most of them were true cultivation methods, they could also be used as a reference for him.
.
Based on these alone, even if there is nothing valuable later, this trip will be worthwhile.
After looking at it, he continued to walk to the fourth floor and found that there were some pills and precious medicines on display here, as well as many rare treasures.
Here he saw the Dendrobium of Immortality, and he didn't know if it was the one that was taken from the Wei army.
Xu Chengtong walked aside and took a jade slip from the case. Then he walked up to Zhang Yu, presented it with both hands, and said, "This is the record of everything here. Please take a look at it."
Zhang Yu took it and opened it, and found that there were many detailed records of the precious medicines. From the length of time for the sacrifice to the date of storage, as well as the specific functions, everything was clear and clear.
The most rare thing here is a dragon pill that is said to be left by a real dragon. This thing is so flawless that no one can use it as medicine, and it is unclear whether it is true or false.
Zhan Ziji still left a note on it, thinking that it was probably a false attachment, but he didn't write down his own guess as to what it was.
Another rare thing here is a small piece of black blood wood as long as a little finger. It is said that this thing is bred from the blood of the phoenix. If a disciple takes it for a long time, it will have the effect of rebirth.
Xu Chengtong said angrily at this time: "You only need to grind some powder of black blood wood, mix it with medicine and take it, it can cleanse the marrow and exchange blood. This thing was originally two sections long, but Zhan Ziji cut off a whole section.
Jie, all of it was given to his disciples to change their qualifications, but when I asked him for some, he refused to give me even half of it!"
Zhang Yudai read the jade album, thought about it, and took out the few treasures, including the black blood wood and the immortal dendrobium. Only the thing suspected of being a dragon pill remained.
After he put the things into the star bag, he continued to go to the upper level.
On the fifth floor were various kinds of treasures, some of which were used for refining flying swords. But after he examined them, he shook his head.
Except for a very few of these things that can still be seen, the rest cannot be compared with the treasures in the inner layer. I don't know if all the good things were sent to the main city, or if the things on the outer layer are born like this.
He just picked a few items, left here, and soon arrived on the sixth floor.
Only this place is different from the five floors ahead, but there is a layer of restrictions blocking the front.
He could see that these restrictions were not to prevent outsiders, but to prevent certain things inside from leaking out. So he asked: "What is inside?"
Xu Chengtong said: "There are some things brought back from the evil god's realm inside. Many of them are contaminated with the evil god's aura, so they are sealed here." After a pause, he added: "To open this ban, we still need to patrol.
The jade talisman in your hand."
General Zhang Yu took out the jade talisman again and waved it in front of him, and the light curtain opened an entrance and exit, revealing the things inside.
The first thing he saw was a huge stone wall. Inside, a snake-haired woman carved out of stone was twisting her body, as if trying to break free from it.
Seeing the two of them outside, he began to make some kind of bewitching noises to them. There were rustling sounds all around, like someone whispering in a low voice, or like countless bugs crawling in the corner.
Xu Chengtong smiled disdainfully and said: "This thing is said to be a treasure that has banned the gods, but it is of little use to the monks, so it has been thrown here for many years. There are many similar things.
." He pointed to another place, "Guard, please take a look, that one is the same."
Zhang Yu turned around and saw that it was an unidentifiable skull with three horns growing on it. However, there were a pair of bright eyes in the fleshless eye sockets, staring at them unblinkingly.
Xu Chengtong: "There are quite a lot of weird things like this in the Evil God's place."
Zhang Yu's eyes moved slightly, and after the gap in the restricted light curtain was revealed, he could feel a stream of heat coming towards him.
He said: "Deacon Xu, please stay here for now while I go inside to take a look."
Xu Chengtong responded, being very sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
Zhang Yu walked in, and the light curtain behind him also fell.
When he arrived in the hall, he looked around. First he stretched out his hand and pressed it gently on his skull. As a stream of heat flowed into his body, his eyes glowed with tiny sparks of electricity. After a few breaths,
After that, the monster's skull turned into a pile of dust.
He turned around and looked at the stone wall again. The snake-haired woman on it seemed to sense danger and made a shrill sound, which seemed to be threatening but also screaming.
Unmoved, he walked up and pressed on the stone wall. This time, the light in his body also shook. After a moment, the stone wall suddenly turned into rubble.
He stopped and walked back to the next target.
Xu Chengtong waited outside for a long time, and then he saw the light curtain opened and Zhang Yu walked out. He bowed his hands and said, "Guard."
Zhang Yu looked upward and said: "Then above is the seventh floor, right?"
Xu Chengtong said: "Yes, except for the Youcheng Formation Hub, Zhan Zijiding has hidden all the best things there."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Deacon Xu, come up with me and take a look."
