After almost a stick of incense was burned, only empty poles were left in the originally golden lotus pond.
If it weren't for the internal force in these empty rods, there probably wouldn't even be any left now.
"Ms. sir, what are you doing now?"
Beside the mercury pool, Yang Liushi's cheeks were rosy, and there were two big "bundles" at her feet, which were her coat and Wei Changtian's coat.
There is no doubt that it is filled with golden lotus petals.
"Now......"
Glancing at the two bundles, the excitement on Wei Changtian's face gradually faded. After thinking for a moment, his eyes fell on the lotus platform in the pond.
"You wait here, I'll go take a look."
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to check on the body.
It's not out of curiosity, it's just that I simply feel that the best treasure in this tomb should be on the rosette, which is under the corpse.
After all, Wei Changtian had observed carefully when he just picked the lotus petals. The roots of the golden lotuses in the pond seemed to be connected to the lotus platform.
And this means that the lotus platform is most likely the core of the entire tomb.
"Ms. sir, how about we go out first and find more people before we come back?"
On the other side, hearing that Wei Changtian was going to check the body now, Yang Liushi couldn't help but feel worried and suggested in a low voice:
"If we do encounter any danger, it's always safer to have more people."
"Forget it, it's better not to let too many people know about this."
Wei Changtian shook his head, frowned and replied: "Besides, I'm worried that Guan Kong also knows about this tomb."
"He probably doesn't know."
Yang Liushi was stunned: "If he knew it, shouldn't he come and take away the treasures here immediately after the illusion array was broken?"
"Hmm...it's also possible that he hasn't had time yet."
Wei Changtian turned his head and looked at the huge golden lotus platform: "It will change later, I will be careful, don't worry."
"Well......"
Seeing that Wei Changtian had said this, Yang Liushi didn't try to persuade him any more. He just stood by the pool holding the two bags tightly and watched Wei Changtian move to the side of the rosette.
"..."
Drawing his sword and lowering his head, Wei Changtian must be lying if he said he wasn't nervous at all.
After all, Pu Xuan's words "There are people outside the world" still rang in his ears, which made him understand that the world was not as simple as he imagined, and that he and Qin Zhengqiu were by no means at the pinnacle of martial arts.
But even if he is not the strongest, he should still be "top".
Not a big problem...
Taking a deep breath, his eyes fell on the corpse's face.
Just as imagined, he looks like a very ordinary monk, with a kind face and kind eyes.
If I had to say something strange, it would be that in the past three hundred years, this corpse looked like it had just died yesterday.
Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment, then gently pressed the corpse's wrist with his middle and index fingers.
After a few breaths, he did not feel any changes, indicating that the corpse indeed had no signs of life.
fine......
My eyes have relaxed a bit, at least the "fraudulent corpse" thing shouldn't happen anymore.
Then we should take a look at the mystery of this rosette.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
With a slight movement of thought, several long swords flew out of the star scabbards.
Because the body was lying on the lotus platform, if Wei Changtian wanted to inspect the lotus platform, he had to remove the body first.
Although it was just a matter of raising his hand, he did not do it himself for the sake of safety, but prepared to use the flying sword to remove the body.
"..."
Several long swords moved slowly, and there was silence in the tomb.
Just when several flying swords were inserted bit by bit into the gap between the corpse and the lotus platform, and the sword tips were submerged for several inches, Wei Changtian suddenly frowned and stopped controlling the flying swords.
"Ms. sir, what's wrong?"
Seeing this scene, Yang Liushi's eyes changed instantly not far away, and she seemed to be preparing to come over.
However, Wei Changtian waved his hand and softly stopped him:
"Don't come over, it's okay."
"There seems to be something in the middle."
"Is there something?"
Yang Liushi looked at the long swords that were half-deep in the corpse, and didn't understand what Wei Changtian meant.
Wei Changtian didn't explain, he just turned around and looked at the corpse in front of him again, as if hesitating for something.
There is indeed something strange about this corpse.
To be precise, the corpse and the rosette seemed to be "one".
It's not the kind of "one body" that is "glued" together, but more like... there are several things similar to plant rhizomes or animal blood vessels that connect the corpse and the rosette.
It was these things that the sword just touched.
So, should you cut it off and give it a try?
Wei Changtian squinted his eyes and thought for a moment.
Since the corpse and the rosette were connected together, if he wanted to continue checking the rosette now, he could only cut off these "connecting tubes".
Or just cut the body into pieces.
It's just that this monk had no grievances against him, so Wei Changtian felt a little uncomfortable mentally by "torturing corpses" like this.
You can cut off these connecting pipes, and you can't predict what will happen...
His grandma is so scared!
If you can’t let go of your child, you can’t trap the wolf!
Gritting his teeth, Wei Changtian finally decided to give it a try.
"You go further away."
He first shouted at Yang Liushi, and after the latter took a few steps back with a worried look on his face, he took a deep breath, and then used several long swords to slash horizontally.
"Puff! Puff puff puff!"
The next moment, like a sharp knife cutting through flesh and blood, several breaking sounds sounded from under the body.
Feeling that there was no obstacle between the corpse and the lotus platform, Wei Changtian did not hesitate and immediately prepared to control the sword to lift the corpse.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly froze and his movements stopped for a moment.
Because he saw that the corpse close at hand was changing at an incredible speed.
It's not a corpse transformation, nor a fake corpse, but a rapid decay.
Just like a deflated balloon, the entire corpse became visibly shriveled and withered, but within a few breaths it lost all flesh and blood and turned into a gloomy skeleton covered in cassocks.
"Fuck!"
With a curse, Wei Changtian instantly shot back several feet, and at the same time, dozens of long swords poured out of their scabbards, forming an airtight sword net in front of him.
He reacted like this not because he was frightened, but because he was afraid of what might happen next.
After all, the scene just now can explain a lot of things besides being weird.
The lotus pond that can store internal energy, the lotus platform that connects all the lotus flowers, the corpse on the lotus platform... There is no doubt that the reason why this corpse has been able to remain incorruptible for three hundred years must be because of the continuous supply of water from the lotus platform.
He nourishes the inner energy.
So, where does the inner power of this lotus platform come from?
"boom!!!"
As if to prove that Wei Changtian's worries were not unfounded, in the next second, a majestic internal force that was so rich that it could almost distort the air burst out from the lotus platform, and in the blink of an eye, the complete skeleton was scattered into a sky full of white bones.
.
"this!"
Their eyes widened in an instant, and the expressions of astonishment on the faces of Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi were exactly the same.
Because they have never seen such pure internal energy, even the second-grade peak martial artist cannot condense it to this level.
