When Ning Chen's hand touched the seal, the seal trembled for a moment. Just when Ning Chen subconsciously prepared to withdraw his hand, the seal became quiet.
After waiting for a few more seconds, the seal stopped responding.
Ning Chen boldly grabbed the seal. There was nothing strange. The seal was very quiet. He grabbed it in his hand and picked it up. The body of the middle-aged Taoist priest did not respond. The bronze sword was still lying quietly on the left side of the middle-aged Taoist priest's body.
.
No danger!
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were all worried about Ning Chen. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. Several people looked at the seal on Ning Chen's hand with some curiosity.
They thought Ning Chen would get the bronze sword again, but they didn't know that Ning Chen would get the seal instead.
This seal looks really ordinary, made of jade, but it doesn't look like the material is very good. The jade is rough and dull, just like it was found at a roadside stall.
"Look at what's engraved." Xu You urged.
Ning Chen turned the seal over and saw a simple character engraved on the sunny side. It was very different from the characters he was familiar with and he didn't recognize it at all.
Passing the seal to Xu You: "Do you also have a look at what is at this moment?"
Xu You looked at it for a while and shook his head to express that he didn't recognize it. Several people passed it around one after another. Lin Yin, Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Lingzhi all shook their heads and said they didn't recognize it either.
In the end, Jiang Yun frowned and thought for a while, then said: "It looks like ancient seal script, but it's not exactly the same. I'm not sure either. It feels like the word 'zhen'."
town?
Ning Chen took it and took a look at it, blushing a little for his lack of education. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't notice that it was the word "town".
But since Jiang Yun thought it was, it might really be the case, so Ning Chen decided to name it "Zhenzi Seal" for the time being.
This seal overturned some of his associations.
Originally, he associated the middle-aged Taoist priest with the Great Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, but there seemed to be discrepancies. The bronze sword was not a mahogany sword or an iron sword, and the seal was not engraved with the "Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal".
There is a saying that there are two seals of the Great Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, but others say there are three. Two have been discovered. Just now, Ning Chen was wondering if this could be the third?
Now it seems that this may not be possible. I have never heard that there is a seal with the word "zhen" in Longhu Mountain.
"Whatever." Ning Chen smiled freely, "The key is not the origin of this seal, but whether it can deter the female insects and walking corpses, and whether it can help us get out of here."
If it were that bronze sword, Ning Chen would be confident that he would be able to restrain the corpse insects, but if it were this seal, he would be unsure.
But you have to give it a try anyway.
...
"Let's go out and give it a try." Ning Chen put the copper coffin in his place and bowed three times more. The others followed suit and bowed three times. The group left this place and returned to the cave outside.
A group of zombies are still there.
They are just corpses. They are not afraid of wind and rain, and they are not tired. They do not need to rest and can always stay at the entrance of the cave.
Ning Chen pulled out his long sword, holding the sword in one hand and holding the Zhen Zi Seal in the other, preparing to go out.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Yun stopped Ning Chen and handed him the Qinglu Sword, "I'll lend it to you first."
"Yeah." Ning Chen nodded and took it.
This magic weapon is much better than his long sword.
A few people stayed in the cave, watching nervously as Ning Chen walked out of the cave step by step, and the walking corpses began to stir.
The terrifying jackal creature roared silently with its bloody mouth; the golden skeleton stared at Ning Chen with its two empty eye sockets; the human warrior zombie held weapons in his hand, looking ready to strike at any time...
Meng Chao stood in the distance, controlled by the mother insect, and made a voice: "Finally came out, actually you can continue to hide inside, I'm not in a hurry..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the seal in Ning Chen's hand. He was inexplicably silent for a few seconds, and then with a wave of his hand, the terrifying jackal creature kicked out and rushed towards Ning Chen.
"Is it useless?" Ning Chen sighed secretly in his heart. He shook the Qinglu Sword in his hand and the sword clanked. Just as he was about to take action, he saw the seal suddenly emit a faint light.
The light was white and very weak, but the scary jackal creature was like a vampire illuminated by the sun. There was a burst of smoke and a sizzling sound from its head, as if it was being burned by flames. Its huge body stopped and stepped back in pain. go.
Meng Chao remained silent for a few seconds, and then asked the golden skeleton to step forward.
However, the result was still the same. When the golden skull came close to the seal, the faint light emitted was like snow meeting flames, like black patches appearing on the gold-forged skeleton, fading away from the original golden color. It used its hands and feet to move back quickly. Running, it looks very funny.
"How is this going?"
"I don't know, but those walking corpses seem to be afraid of this seal. We can be saved."
In the cave, Xu You and others were all delighted.
Ning Chen was also surprised. He didn't expect the seal to have such an effect. It looked ordinary, but it seemed to be able to restrain the walking corpses.
"I found a treasure." Ning Chen thought to himself.
"Damn it, damn it..." Meng Chao was cursing, not willing to give in, and urged the human warrior corpse to approach Ning Chen.
Entering the light area, the walking corpse began to emit white smoke and make a squeaking sound. There was a bug twisting painfully in its empty eye socket, as if it was suffering tremendous pain.
As the corpse of the human warrior got closer, the corpse worm twisted more and more violently, and then became weaker, and the corpse worm fell from its eye socket with a snap.
The walking corpses of human warriors also stopped.
"Walk."
Ning Chen was overjoyed. He held the Zhenzi seal in his hand and called to Xu You and the others. Several people gathered around him and walked outside within the dim light area emitted by the seal.
Meng Chao was roaring, and his group of zombies were very manic, jumping around Ning Chen and the others like wild dogs, but they did not dare to get close.
Jiang Yun began to observe the surroundings, calculate the position of the array eye, and direct Ning Chen to move in the right direction.
After a full hour passed, everyone walked out of the valley and finally arrived at the eye of the formation. Jiang Yun shouted: "Three steps to the left, that's now."
Several people understood and quickly moved in the direction pointed by Jiang Yun. First, Xu You took a step forward and disappeared, and then came the others.
Ning Chen stayed at the end and waited until everyone else had entered before he jumped back and entered the formation.
In an instant, the scenery changed drastically, and they returned to the Sword Forest.
"Phew, it's finally out."
"It's finally out, woo hoo, I thought I would never come out again and would die in there, woo woo..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Lingzhi burst into tears and wiped them while grabbing Ning Chen's clothes, which made Ning Chen very depressed. There are so many people here, please don't catch me wiping my tears.
After all, I just saved you, and I don't want to repay you with kindness like this.
Sensing Ning Chen's eyes, Zhang Linzhi wiped his tears and asked, "What kind of eyes do you have?"
Ning Chen laughed dryly and said, "I just think you look better when you cry, senior sister, than when you don't cry."
A question mark appeared on Zhang Lingzhi's head. He wanted to answer but didn't know how. Finally, he rolled his eyes at Ning Chen. Are you praising me or hurting me?
