Chapter 362 Ancient Techniques
In fact, this section of the road in the great array of protecting the sect is the most dangerous.
Even if these arrays dissipate, the remaining array patterns will still illuminate various mysterious places. Li Changxiao, who has visited countless ancient sites, has a deep understanding of this.
What surprised Li Changxiao was that Zhao Qiu's performance on this section of the road was actually quite remarkable. She avoided several places that might be dangerous in advance.
After asking, I learned that her father was a black market businessman. When he was young, he went to many ancient places and more or less summed up some experience.
As she walked, Zhao Qiu took out the map, observed it carefully, and frowned. Because no matter how she looked at it, it didn't match the map.
"Why doesn't it match?" Zhao Qiu murmured.
The water ghost was shocked when he heard this, and snatched the map. After observing it up and down, he also felt that it didn't match.
"Normal."
"This ruins is so big, and the previous expedition team had a limited exploration range. It would be strange if it matched."
Li Changxiao said lazily.
Li Changxiao had also seen the map, but it was not very useful for reference.
In desperation, he could only leave the map behind and move forward.
Time passed in a flash, and three days had passed.
The three of them had been in the formation for three days, but they had not yet walked out of the coverage of the sect-protecting formation.
Zhao Qiu and Shui Gui had gradually adapted to the environment here, and what they had seen along the way had made them realize that there would be many unknown dangers on this journey, but at the same time, they were also full of curiosity about this mysterious relic.
They had never retreated.
Today, something strange happened. The three of them were walking and passed by a well. As soon as they stepped on it, countless white scorpions gushed out of the well, densely packed.
Zhao Qiu and Shui Gui showed their skills. Shui Gui used his skills and swept away with one leg. As his internal force raged, countless white scorpions died in his hands.
Zhao Qiu was even more extraordinary. He stabbed out the long sword in his hand quickly, and the sword energy was crisscrossed, making people dizzy, with a shadow of wrong flowers.
Li Changxiao didn't slack off, he waved his sword a few times, and his attention was indeed on the well.
If he guessed correctly, this should be a white jade well, the center of the first layer of the sect protection formation.
There should be a guardian beast guarding the well. Li Changxiao secretly blew a breeze, which extended his perception to the depths of the well.
It was found that this well was about ten thousand feet deep. At the bottom, there was a huge monster lying prone, but fortunately, that monster had long since lost its breath.
There were too many white scorpions. The three of them killed and walked, and successfully walked out of this area, which was considered to be a close call.
Li Changxiao looked at Zhao Qiu's sword, thinking that this girl really had some connection with Dayan Huazong. The swordsmanship she just used had some shadows of "wrong flower sword", which should be learned in Dayan Huazong.
He became more and more curious, who would the elder of Dayan Huazong who was also here be, and whether he knew anyone of his own?
However, he was not in a hurry to ask. Anyway, if they were destined, they would meet.
After the three of them left the range of the white scorpion.
Li Changxiao quietly turned back. This relic was buried deep underground. Unable to pick the cloud root as an eye, his means of exploration were much less.
He used the magic of the earth seal to dive into the bottom of the well from the side, and indeed saw a giant beast, a scorpion that seemed to be carved from white jade.
It was dead.
Li Changxiao explored again.
But he made a completely different discovery. This white jade scorpion was not a living creature of flesh and blood, but a scorpion statue carved from some kind of jade.
The body was covered with array patterns.
It was not only the location of the array eye, but also had the charm of the beast.
"This method..."
"It seems to be very popular in ancient times?" Li Changxiao said for no reason.
Using some kind of divine ore to pile up into the shape of a beast to play a different role, or to activate and extend something?
But it is certain that this method has become extinct later.
Because of the heyday of spiritual energy, Li Changxiao had hardly seen this method again. I think the reason should be because the cost is too high.
Because the minerals used here are all first-class minerals, which require the whole clan to collect.
Li Changxiao suddenly paused and thought of something.
The last time a large-scale gathering of divine minerals was seen was in the Endless Forest.
Could it be that the Endless Forest also used a similar method?
The blood spirit stone is flesh and blood... a giant beast is piled up with various minerals?
Thinking of this.
Li Changxiao drew out his long sword and inserted it into the body of the white jade scorpion, splitting the surface shell to reveal the internal ore that looked like flesh and blood.
It is also a blood spirit stone.
Seeing this, Li Changxiao's mind has been clear for the most part. It seems that his inference is not wrong. The Endless Forest was indeed used by the ancient strongman with a similar method.
At this point, he had a vague outline of the Endless Forest incident.
Li Changxiao did not stay at the bottom of the well for too long. His figure flashed and he returned to the two of them.
Even the two of them didn't notice that Li Changxiao had just left.
After passing the first protective formation, the road behind was much easier to walk. There were often small dangers along the way, but they were overcome one by one.
Compared with these dangers, it was some trivial matters in daily life that made Zhao Qiu feel extremely distressed. She had been walking for several days without washing. On the surface, she still looked like a heroic female warrior, but in fact her skin was sticky and her lining was soaked and dried by sweat, which was very embarrassing.
Water ghost king Huang was not much better than her. He took off his socks and found that they were stained yellow and hard as a brick. Li Changxiao laughed loudly, and Zhao Qiu blushed, because her socks were probably not much better after taking them off.
Wang Huang patted Li Changxiao's shoulder and urged him to take it off and have a look. Li Changxiao didn't care. Since he established his foundation, he didn't produce dirty things. In addition, he had refined Fuhuafeng to the peak, and there would often be a breeze blowing on his body, blowing away the dust.
Even if he rolled in the swamp, his body would not be dirty.
He took off his boots and socks and showed them generously, causing the two to stare at him. There is such a god? Zhao Qiu was even more envious and jealous, and asked Li Changxiao if he practiced some advanced health-preserving skills. Li Changxiao nodded and said yes.
Li Changxiao told the two that after passing this area, if nothing unexpected happened, they should have a place to take a bath.
The two nodded and sped up their pace invisibly. After walking for about three days, they finally left the area of the sect protection formation and entered the inner range of the sect.
The first thing that came into view was rows of houses, many of which were broken and collapsed, and filled with dust.
"This..." Zhao Qiu was stunned, "Is it really a sect?"
This kind of row house is a common building in many sects.
"Let's go and take a look."
Li Changxiao's mouth curled up, there are more interesting things.
To be honest.
Even he was very curious about the relics of this ancient sect.
He estimated that the row houses in this area should be for the outermost disciples to live in.
Powerful disciples usually live in isolation, with their own little world, planting herbs, refining pills, refining tools... and so on.
Sure enough, after entering several houses, Li Changxiao found several Qi refining methods.
"Two-dimensional into one formula?"
Wang Huang picked up an ancient book and read aloud.
"Formula?" Zhao Qiu's eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he couldn't say anything more, "Open it and take a look! It may be a peerless method!"
