"I am extremely talented!" Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "By the way, Senior Fortune Teller, I have a question I have always wanted to ask you...but I have never found the opportunity."
"What's the problem?" the fortune teller asked.
"It would be more appropriate to use a sword to perform the Nine Heaven-Defying Swords, right? Why did you find a scimitar? It's really awkward to use a knife to perform sword techniques." Ma Xiaoyao explained the question that had been hidden in his heart for many days.
come out.
"Oh... this..." the fortune teller said with some embarrassment: "You know... I made this bloodthirsty scimitar with my own hands... Originally... I wanted to make a sword...
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened later and it turned into a machete..."
"..." Ma Xiaoyao has imagined many possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be this possibility. Did he build it wrong? Damn! Is there any more ridiculous excuse than this? You must know that you are the best in the world?
How could such an awesome person make mistakes? What left Ma Xiaoyao speechless the most was... the fortune teller actually took the initiative to say it. He was really thick-skinned.
"Later I got used to using it, so I didn't change it again." Shen Shuanzi continued: "Actually, using the bloodthirsty scimitar to perform the Nine Heaven-Defying Swords has more feeling, more power, and more room for improvement."
"...The key problem is that I'm not used to using it..." Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips.
"Then go find a sword." The fortune teller said, "If it doesn't work, just make one yourself."
"Make it yourself?" Ma Xiaoyao was a little tempted, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up: "I don't know how to forge."
"You can ask someone for help."
"Who can I ask for help?"
"Tiangong Star is so big, there must be many forging masters. You can find it yourself slowly. What, I'm tired, I'm going to bed."
…
"Alas..." Ma Xiaoyao sighed softly: "This whole thing... is really depressing! Forget it, let's get down to business quickly. As for the matter of making the sword... we will study it later."
What is business?
Cutting stones of course!
Those three precious stones haven’t been cut yet!
Ma Xiaoyao took out a special knife and began to cut the stone with concentration.
"Click..."
The first stone was cut open, and eighteen luminous pearls rolled out from it. Each luminous pearl was the size of an adult's fist. If these were put up for auction, they would probably fetch a sky-high price.
"Kacha kacha..."
The second stone was also cut open, and a piece of black iron fell out from it. It was more than two meters high, two meters wide, and more than one meter thick. It was definitely huge in size.
"If I really want to sleep, someone will give me a pillow. This quick black iron can be used to make a sword."
"Keep cutting!"
"Crack, click, click..."
The third stone was cut open, and five primeval stones escaped from it, namely metallic primeval stones, wood-attribute primeval stones, water-attribute primeval stones, fire-attribute primeval stones, and earth-attribute primeval stones.
"Oh, I'm rich!" Ma Xiaoyao laughed loudly: "These five Yuan Stones are the real treasures! Well, let's use this metallic Yuan Stone first and see if we can advance." Thinking of this.
, Ma Xiaoyao sat cross-legged on the ground, held the metallic Yuan Stone in both hands and began to practice.
Half an hour later, Ma Xiaoyao had sucked out the metallic energy in the Yuan Stone. He used internal vision to check and found that the metallic energy in the Dantian had been greatly improved, but it was still far from the saturation state.
There is still a long way to go. According to Ma Xiaoyao's estimation, he can advance by absorbing two more metallic yuan stones.
"What a pity, what a pity!"
"It would be great if these five Yuan stones were all metallic Yuan stones."
Seeing that it was getting late, Ma Xiaoyao got up and returned to the Zhuge family. Before leaving, he carefully cleaned the scene so that outsiders could not tell that a fight had taken place here.
…
In the evening.
Zhuge Liuyun came to Ma Xiaoyao's room: "Mr. Ma, I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Ma Xiaoyao invited Zhuge Liuyun to sit down and poured Zhuge Liuyun a cup of hot tea with his own hands.
"It's like this. Just now, a member of the family came to report that a large ancient tomb was discovered. It is suspected to be the tomb of a certain ancient sage. I decided to go and investigate tomorrow. I wonder if Mr. Ma is interested in going with him.
?" Zhuge Liuyun asked.
"Ancient tomb?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Where is it?"
"In a deserted mountainous area."
"How could you identify it as the tomb of an ancient sage?"
"I inferred based on the scale of the tomb. The people who can enjoy such a large-scale tomb are definitely not ordinary people."
"...Okay, I will go with you tomorrow to open my eyes... If I can dig out some treasures by then, please ask Chief Zhuge to give me a few."
"That's easy to say." Zhuge Liuyun smiled and said, "I will never let Mr. Ma suffer."
After chatting for a few words, Zhuge Liuyun stood up and left.
Out of selfish motives, Ma Xiaoyao concealed the affairs of Zhuge Jun and Zhuge Li. Anyway, no one else saw it at the time, so even if he kept hiding it, it would not be exposed.
Ma Xiaoyao sat in the room, touching his bald chin, thinking secretly...An ancient tomb? An ancient sage? The larger the tomb, the more traps there will be, and his life may be in danger.
However... for the treasure in the tomb, it is worth taking some risks. Anyway, Zhuge Liuyun is with him. If there is any danger, let Zhuge Liuyun deal with it. He is a heaven-level master and should be able to deal with any danger.
, and besides, he has a replica of the crazy fan in his hand, so there will definitely be no problem.
After communicating, Ma Xiaoyao blew out the lamp and went to bed.
…
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoyao and Zhuge Liuyun left the manor, accompanied by dozens of masters.
Passed through a grassland, then passed through a desert, and finally entered a barren mountain.
After walking for seven full days, Ma Xiaoyao and others arrived at their destination.
"Where is the ancient tomb? Why can't I see it?" Ma Xiaoyao looked a little confused.
"Right under your feet." Zhuge Liuyun smiled.
"Ah?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Under my feet?"
"There is a black hole on your left. If you go down here, you can enter the ancient tomb." Zhuge Liuyun said.
Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly turned around and saw a dark hole a few meters away. Ma Xiaoyao walked over quickly and took a look. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. He just felt that it was quite deep.
of.
"Let's go down." Zhuge Liuyun jumped into the cave entrance without hesitation. He did this simply because he is brave. He is a heaven-level master, and he also has a replica of the crazy fan. Even if he encounters
Can handle danger.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The group of experts who followed also jumped down, and in the blink of an eye, Ma Xiaoyao was the only one left on the ground, looking a little lonely.
Want to go down?
When things came to an end, he flinched a little. For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
"We've all arrived at the scene. It would be a pity if we don't go down and take a look... Besides, with so many experts protecting me, I should be fine." After hesitating for a moment, Ma Xiaoyao decided to go down and take a look at this person.
Once your curiosity is aroused, you will do some reckless things.
Ma Xiaoyao took a deep breath and then jumped down.
After a long time, Ma Xiaoyao finally landed with his feet. He secretly calculated that from the entrance to the bottom of the cave, it was at least several thousand meters deep... It was absolutely impossible to build a large-scale tomb in such a deep underground.
A simple thing.
"Mr. Ma, I thought you wouldn't come down." Zhuge Liuyun walked over from the side.
"How could it be!" Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "Now that I'm here, I will never back down... But just now... I suddenly felt a little uneasy... It seemed that there was some danger hidden here... Chief Zhuge, we
Better be careful."
"Don't worry, I will protect you." Zhuge Liuyun waved his hand nonchalantly: "Now that we are all down, let's act quickly... Qingmu, you discovered this tomb and you opened this passage.
Yes, now it’s up to you to lead the way. Remember, it doesn’t matter if you go slower, you must ensure safety.”
A handsome-looking man walked toward the depths of the passage with steady steps. His name was Zhuge Qingmu. He was the most outstanding talent in the Zhuge family and Zhuge Liuyun's nephew. He was walking in front, while Zhuge Liuyun and others were walking behind.
Followed behind.
Everyone walked very carefully, making sure there was no danger ahead before taking a step forward. It took more than an hour to walk the distance of several hundred meters.
At the end of the passage is a wall made of blue bricks. It is dark in color and has cracks in some places. Judging from the appearance alone, you can tell that this wall must have existed for a long time.
"I dug here last time." Zhuge Qingmu said, "Behind the wall is the tomb."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry and cut open the wall!" someone suggested.
"We can't be so reckless." Zhuge Qingmu shook his head: "If we rashly cut through the wall, we may touch the mechanism of the tomb, and then we will be in trouble." At this point, Zhuge Qingmu added: "We must
We know that this place is thousands of meters underground, and if something unexpected happens, we won’t have time to escape even if we want to.”
"Then what should we do?" Zhuge Liuyun frowned: "Qingmu, do you have a safe way?"
"I can't think of a good solution for the time being..." Zhuge Qingmu shook his head.
"You all stand back and let me cut through the wall." Zhuge Liuyun took a few steps forward and said, "I have a high level of cultivation and I have a Liuyun Fan for self-defense. Even if there is a mechanism behind the wall, I should be able to deal with it.
"Chief, it's too risky to do this." Zhuge Qingmu looked worried: "Let's think of other ways. If it doesn't work, we can dig upward and clean up all the soil covering the ancient tomb... Then we will
Then you can calmly find a breakthrough."
"No, this is too time-consuming." Zhuge Liuyun shook his head.
