Lu Zhong looked at Shui Ni with a surprised expression.
According to what Shui Ni said, she discovered a stone palace in the outer palace area. Even though the stone palace was heavily restricted, it was difficult to suppress the light shining out of the palace. Ancient treasures were most likely stored inside.
And there's more than one.
The so-called ancient treasure refers to the magic weapon used by shamans and cultivators.
Different from the magic weapons of immortal cultivation, the ancient treasures used by witch cultivators are famous for their power. The reason is that a large amount of rare spiritual materials are used during refining, so that they can easily and crudely crush the magic weapons of immortal cultivation.
"What do you mean?" Lu Zhong guessed Shui Ni's thoughts.
Shui Ni nodded lightly, waved his hand to condense the Water Mirror Technique, pointed at the stone hall, and chuckled: "Yes, it's what you thought. There is still some time before the inner hall is opened, so you can spend your time on it.
The ancient treasures above are not like our immortal magic treasures, which need to be sacrificed and refined. They only need to be refined to exert their full power."
For the two of them, if they can really get the ancient treasure.
Strength will be greatly enhanced.
Lu Zhong did not reply immediately, but thought for a while.
According to his usual style of doing things, he naturally does not want to make extraneous matters, but since it is a legendary ancient treasure, it is not impossible to give it a try.
Right now, Lu Zhong is eager to improve his strength.
Obtaining ancient treasures is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
Although there are many dangers in the outer hall of the Ten Thousand Witches Palace, with the cultivation level of the two Nascent Souls, they do not pose much of a threat at all, so it is not a problem to deal with them.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong agreed.
…
This is an extremely simple stone palace, located in a lotus-shaped mountain basin. It covers an area of a hundred feet, and it is dark and gives people a serious feeling. It is surrounded by a flat square, and there is not a single weed within a thousand feet.
It's just that each statue has a weird posture and a variety of strange images.
At this moment, two rainbow lights fell outside the square.
It's a man and a woman.
A young man in black clothes and black hair with an indifferent expression first looked at the statues, with a hint of surprise on his face, then moved his eyes to a stone tablet and whispered:
"Qingming Palace."
"I didn't expect that you actually understand witchcraft?" Shui Ni said with a chuckle.
"I did some research when I had nothing to do." Lu Zhongdan said, and then he looked at the stone hall in the center of the square. It was surrounded by many restrictions, but as Shui Ni said before, there was indeed a treasure light that could not be concealed.
, indicating that there is most likely an ancient treasure inside.
The question now is, how to get the treasure?
As an array mage, he could see that the restrictions protecting the stone palace were connected to the statues in the square. If the statues were destroyed forcefully, it would lead to unpredictable consequences.
There is a high probability that after the restriction is triggered, the ancient treasures in the stone palace will also be destroyed.
Lu Zhong reported the results of his observations.
Regarding this point, Shui Ni did have an answer.
She pointed at the statues and formed a water mirror to project the entire square. "From my perspective, this square and the distribution of the statues on the square seem to be a way of arranging witchcraft and cultivating war chess..."
Witch repair war chess.
It was a favorite pastime of witch cultivators before it was popular in ancient times.
Lu Zhong recalled it.
I found that it is somewhat similar to chess in the previous life. It can even be said that chess is a simplified version of Wu Xiu's war chess. The main difference between the two is that the rules are more complex and the number of chess pieces is larger.
At the same time, there are more than two chess players participating.
"The only trouble now is that we don't know the rules of Wuxiu chess." A bitter look appeared on Shui Ni's face. The most important thing in playing chess is knowing the rules.
But now, the two of them know nothing about it.
Hearing this, Lu Zhong smiled and said confidently:
"This is on me."
With the gray mist space, he could use the real memories to figure out the rules of the witchcraft war chess bit by bit.
Even directly simulating the victory is not impossible.
"Let me think for a while."
After saying this, Lu Zhong sat cross-legged on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Shui Ni didn't understand how he had the confidence to say this and was confident that he could solve the Qingming chess game, but he still smiled slightly and sat down cross-legged back to back.
Time passed little by little.
After three days and nights, Lu Zhong finally opened his eyes, with lingering fatigue on his face, but his eyes were frighteningly bright. He had already found the solution to the Qingming chess game with the help of real memories, and then
Once you get down, you just need to play chess step by step to get the ancient treasure.
But before that, Lu Zhong had other things to do.
The uninvited guests must be sent away first.
While he was simulating the solution to the chess game, he unexpectedly discovered that Qingding and Huoyaozi had quietly lurked behind a rock that looked like a giant turtle 2,371 feet away.
Although he didn't understand why the two people appeared here, this did not prevent Lu Zhongsheng from coming up with ideas.
He conveyed this discovery to Shui Ni.
"It seems that the purpose of Qingding and Huoyaozi is most likely to take advantage of you and me to sneak a sneak attack, or to wait until the chess game is about to be solved, so that our efforts will be in vain." Shui Ni frowned.
said.
No matter what the purpose is, it is not a good thing for her and Lu Zhong.
"We can only fight them once." Lu Zhong said calmly, "Whether it is Qingding or Huoyaozi, their strength has been lost and they are no longer in their prime. But you and me are...
Almost unscathed. If possible... I want to keep the Qingding!"
Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Shui Ni's eyes. But soon, she nodded slightly, "In that case, I will drag the living medicine, and no matter what, I will not let her disturb you.
"
"Yeah." Lu Zhong nodded.
The next moment, both of them took action.
Shui Ni wielded a white jade moon sword, which was a rare sword-less style with a slender and smooth shape. After being used, it turned directly into a full moon. While exuding the cold moonlight, it quickly moved towards the green cauldron and the living medicine.
The hiding place, that is, the rock shaped like a giant turtle flew away.
Before the Moon Sword could strike, the dense mirror light had already overtaken him.
A random bombardment forced two figures out.
Qing Ding and Huo Yaozi looked at each other and found that they had hard-to-conceal shock on each other's faces, neither of them understood why they were exposed.
Seeing that the magic weapon attack was coming, they no longer dwelled on the matter.
Qingding spit out a small green sword.
This is his magic weapon - Qingding Sword.
While the whole body's magic power was surging, the small sword turned into a giant sword of about ten feet in the wind. The aura swayed and swayed out a large sword light. At the same time, the mirror light finally struck and collided with the sword light. They both melted like a pair of pieces and turned into a sword.
Spiritual energy returns to heaven and earth.
At this time, a bright full moon came with a glimmering trail of ice.
Seeing this, Qingding pointed his sword forward.
There was a loud "Peng" sound.
The spiritual energy rolled like a stream, flying in all directions.
The result was a green shadow flying out.
The full moon was illusory for a few minutes, dimly visible to the naked eye, but it still continued to rush forward without stopping, until the green snake transformed by the four hairpins flew away, and then all its power was exhausted, and then it turned back into the moon sword, and the floating light flickered for a while.
After that, it fell back into Shui Ni's hands.
Catching each other in pairs, the four began to fight.
Just as planned before, Lu Zhong faced off against Qingding.
Qing Ding still didn't know that the person who plotted against him in the lava pool that day was Lu Zhong in front of him. If he knew it at this time, his face would probably turn into a look like "pork liver".
Without saying a word, he moved the Qingding Sword wildly.
The sword moves continued, and a mouthful of blood was sprayed out. Once soaked in the blood mist containing mana, the sword suddenly exploded with light, and immediately sprayed out a large sword shadow.
The green sword shadows gathered together, surging like a torrent, making very rhythmic movements. Each sword shadow exuded amazing sword energy. No matter what kind of rock it passed by, it would turn into powder if it touched it.
That's not all, as the Qingding Sword Technique was pinched out.
The shadows of swords in the sky are still dividing, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of swords are firing together.
"Sword light differentiation?"
This is the magical power of swordsmanship.
Understanding Qing Ding's methods, Lu Zhong's expression did not change at all, and his expression was still calm and calm. When it comes to one-on-one, he is not afraid of monks of the same level.
Shoot a few sparks with a snap of your finger to release the Purple Nether Fire.
Then, he raised his left hand slightly.
A thunder marsh is released!
Amidst the thunder and fire, the incoming sword flow suddenly disappeared into nothing.
Qing Ding's face suddenly became serious. He was well aware of the power of his sword splitting move. Now it was used against Lu Zhong, but it was easily broken.
This far exceeded his expectations!
Before Qing Ding could think about it, Lu Zhong had already made a new move. Holding the Fire Crow Sword in his left hand, bursts of dazzling light erupted all over his body, instantly breaking out spider web patterns on the ground beneath his feet.
The twinkling stars are darting forward.
Lu Zhong knew that Qingding was an out-and-out swordsman. Such monks usually had flexible movements and it was unrealistic to rely on magic to solve the problem.
The best way is to deal with regrets closely.
"Qiang!" Sparks flew.
The spiritual energy surged and turned into a shock wave, causing rocks to shatter wherever it passed.
The Fire Crow Sword pressed against the Qingding Sword, and the Qingding felt the overwhelming power coming from above. The solemn look on its face became even deeper, and a huge wave of waves arose in its heart.
Lu Zhong's strength is unconventional and not what a new Nascent Soul should be like.
Fight for dozens of rounds in succession.
Don't look at it when the two of them fight, they look like mortal swordsmen fighting each other.
But in fact, the attacks of True Monarch Nascent Soul are extraordinary. Sometimes the light and shadow effects look ordinary, not even as grand as the battles of Foundation Establishment monks. However, every sword energy and sword light are extremely solid, so they have quite astonishing power.
It is so powerful that it is not a problem to open mountains and seas.
Affected by the aftermath of the attack, the surrounding terrain was rapidly undergoing huge changes. Mountain peaks collapsed into piles of rubble, and rift valleys appeared on the ground.
Occasionally, sword energy will fly high into the sky, and it can split the clouds several miles away in an instant.
Danjie monks passed by and saw the four figures fighting each other. All of them had horrified expressions on their faces. They had no idea of watching the battle and immediately retreated in the direction they came from.
I am afraid that if I retreat too slowly, I will be hit by the aftermath of the attack.
If the alchemy monk is really affected.
To say the least, he would end up seriously injured.
Lu Zhong, on his side, fought hundreds of swords with Qing Ding.
Just like what he had seen before, Qingding's left arm was still injured, and he was suffering a big loss in the fight at this moment. He was obviously a swordsman specializing in swordsmanship, but he was suppressed by Lu Zhong, a magician.
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Qingding already had the idea of escape.
However, Lu Zhong relied on his escape skills and kept chasing him fiercely without any intention of stopping. Every time he escaped a certain distance, he would be quickly caught up by the former in a few flashes.
Qing Ding immediately understood that he was afraid that he would leave something behind today.
Either life or body.
So he felt fierce in his heart and blew out a breath of green energy towards the Qingding Sword. The flying sword was immediately covered with a layer of green flames, and the sword light he breathed seemed to be real.
"Baby Qi?" Lu Zhong's face turned serious.
For Nascent Soul modification, the transformation of Ying Qi is equivalent to cultivation. Because it can be converted into extremely pure magic power, it has the effect of enhancing the power of magic weapons and is often used in life and death fights.
In other words, exhaling baby breath is equivalent to fighting for your life.
In this regard, it is impossible for Lu Zhong to say that there is no pressure in his heart. Fortunately, he has dragon spirit flags to protect him, and there are five dragon spirit flags in total.
"Swish, swish, swish" five small dragons rushed out.
At the same time, he also used the method of transforming into a dragon.
Fine scales are spread all over the body, which can play a protective and buffering role, at least ensuring that in the subsequent confrontation, there will be no damage to the internal organs or the cracking of the tiger's mouth due to the transmission of force.
"Clang!" There was a heavy impact.
Whether it's the Fire Crow Sword or the Qingding Sword.
They all let out bursts of wailing sounds.
Qing Ding's natal magic weapon was damaged, his face paled slightly, but he still activated his magic power and continued to swing his sword forward, slashing hard at Lu Zhong on the opposite side.
When it comes to close combat, it doesn't matter what sword moves or techniques you use.
One sword, one sword...another sword!
Every time the swords clashed, an astonishing shock wave of spiritual energy would be unleashed, turning into pillars of light and shooting straight into the sky.
For a time, the momentum was extremely huge.
During this process, Qing Ding became more and more shocked.
He found that during the fight, even though both of them were injured, his strength was significantly weaker than Lu Zhong's. Although the latter's face was crimson, because every time they fought, the five small dragons were able to resolve it.
The strength is strong, so the breath has not weakened much.
"If this continues, I'm afraid it's me who will be defeated."
With this thought in his mind, Qingding ignored the risk of aggravating the injury and spat out another mouthful of blood, causing the Qingding sword to shine brightly again, forcing Lu Zhong back with one strike.
Taking this opportunity, he touched his waist with his left hand and found a piece of golden talisman paper.
In the Nascent Soul period, every piece of talisman is hard-earned.
For example, this "A Yuan Tian Talisman" is made from the fur of a fifth-level demonic beast, with a lot of effort by the talisman maker, and drawn with precious spiritual ink. Its value is no less than a fine magic weapon.
The preciousness of the Jia Yuan Tian Talisman lies in the trace of heaven and earth energy contained in it.
With the help of the vitality of heaven and earth, the power of heaven and earth can be aroused.
Qingding was originally reluctant to use it. After all, once such a trump card was used, it would be almost impossible to get it again without a great opportunity.
But now, in order to save his body, he could only endure the pain and excite him.
"Snapped"
Qingding did not hesitate to pop out the golden talisman, and touched the golden talisman with his finger, but nothing surprising happened. He saw the Jia Yuan Tian talisman flash, and a wisp of fresh air immediately flowed into his body.
The feeling is obviously different from that of Reiki.
It's just an insignificant wisp, but it contains indescribable terrifying power.
