Chapter 958: Legal Private Armor
Chapter 958: Legal Private Armor
At the other end of the secret treasure, after Master Xu and his companions crossed several trestle bridges, a cave with a relatively wide entrance appeared in front of them. On both sides were a row of stone statues holding spears. The bottom of the statues were covered with moss, and the wooden spears they held in their hands had long since rotted.
"Quick, quick, take a picture." Young Master Xu called on the people behind him to take a picture of this scene.
Lao Lai saw him approaching the cave and immediately came up to stop him, "Master Xu, be careful."
Young Master Xu said disdainfully: "Be careful, my uncle just went in. If there was any danger, he would have found it out long ago."
The mixed-race instructor named Qiao came over and said with a smile, "Master Xu is right. There should be no danger. However, Mr. Xu is a fighter. We don't have his skills. I will let my apprentice go ahead to explore the way so that Master Xu won't be disturbed when he is shooting. What do you think?"
What Master Xu wanted was face. If someone gave him face, he would give it back and said, "Mr. Qiao, that's fine. I'll leave it to you."
Mr. Qiao gave a signal and a group of people went into the cave. After a while, these people came back safe and sound and whispered something to him.
He nodded, walked over and said a few words to Master Xu, who said disdainfully, "So troublesome?"
However, he was still willing to listen to the professionals. After giving an order, everyone put on a thick protective suit that covered them from head to toe.
After walking around outside, we walked inside. As the light shone upward, someone exclaimed, "Why is this stone pillar growing up there?"
"I know. It's stalactite."
"Really?" Young Master Xu was skeptical. "Why doesn't it look like that to me?"
Teacher Fan then said, "Master Xu, that's not a stalactite, that's a hanging corpse."
"Hanging corpses?" Upon hearing this, there was a commotion around them, and a few low exclamations were heard. Because there were so many things hanging upside down, it looked like there were at least hundreds of them.
Master Xu was even more excited when he heard these exclamations. He asked, "Teacher Fan, what are these hanging corpses for? Can you tell me?"
Teacher Fan looked at it and said, "These hanging corpses are arranged to imitate the pattern of stars in the sky. The old imperial dynasty has always claimed that its civil and military officials are stars from the sky who have descended to the earth, with a total of 283 officials. This is an underground secret storage. The ritual says that 'the earth and the sky are reversed,' so they are arranged in reverse. If I'm right, there should be 283 hanging corpses here."
After hearing what he said, everyone counted the bodies and finally found that there were exactly 283, no more, no less.
Master Xu said, "Hey, Mr. Fan, you're right!" He then asked, "Since so many star officials are here, the secret treasure of Yu Wen should be not far away, right?"
Mr. Fan shook his head and said, "Not even close. We are probably just on the edge. Emperor Ying is a man who likes to show off his achievements. He compares himself to the Lord of Heaven, and the sun, moon, and stars can only be placed around him. It means that he compares himself to the God, and the star officials in the sky can only stand aside."
"That's pretty crazy..." Although Master Xu said this, he looked envious.
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "What's that smell?" After being reminded, everyone started sniffing and indeed smelled a strange odor.
"Look! Up there, look up there!"
Everyone looked up and saw something moving inside the hanging corpses, and it seemed to be expanding.
Mr. Qiao immediately reminded: "Don't panic, put on your protective clothing tightly!"
At this time, a series of explosions were heard from above, and the hanging corpses above exploded one by one, with countless slender black insects flowing out of them.
But when these things fell on the protective clothing, although they tried to drill in, they had no way to penetrate it. At this time, a row of people in the back held up flamethrowers and sprayed them forward, then swept back and forth, and these insects fell down one after another.
A few minutes later, Master Xu and his companions who had retreated outside took off their clothes. Looking at the charred insects falling off their clothes, Master Xu said with lingering fear: "Mr. Qiao, it's a good thing you asked us to wear protective clothing."
Mr. Qiao smiled and said, "This is what I should do."
Teacher Fan at the side looked at him and said, "Mr. Qiao, have you ever found a secret treasure before?"
Mr. Qiao said modestly: "One of the businesses I run abroad is to accompany people to explore hidden treasures. Fortunately, there have been no mistakes. I am sorry to have made a fool of myself with these minor incidents."
Teacher Fan looked at him deeply and said, "Mr. Qiao is experienced."
"Okay, okay, if you two have any skills, please save them for later. Can we continue on our way?" Young Master Xu was a little impatient.
The two nodded in agreement, and the group poured into the cave again and headed towards the opening at the other end.
At almost the same time, Chen Chuan had already walked to the main entrance of the palace complex.
He had not encountered any danger or obstacles along the way, but when he thought about it carefully, he had come in through the right way after all, and the purpose of the secret treasure was to make it accessible to future generations. People who knew the correct way to enter were logically the descendants of the owner of the secret treasure, so even if some key places might not be accessible casually, there was no need to set up defenses everywhere.
At this time, there were two huge warrior statues standing on the left and right in front of the hall, wearing forged iron armor. The two statues were seven or eight meters tall, and the iron material on their bodies was really expensive, but the inside of the body was made of clay. Chen Chuan took a look and felt that it was not that simple. These should be the bodies of two fighters or generals who died, just like the bodies of fighters seen in Langtao Hall and An Yao Hall, but they were wrapped in a layer of clay and golden armor.
After the civet cat arrived here, facing the direction of the palace gate, it did not dare to move forward, but instead shrank back and hesitated.
After seeing this, Chen Chuan changed his mind and asked Chao Ming to stay outside. He walked in himself. After crossing the tall threshold, he took a few steps forward and used the Xuejun Sword to lift open the curtain in front of him.
Looking forward again, he saw a divine general standing there with helmet and armor on and eyes wide open. He was over twenty meters tall, holding a long mace across his head in one hand and a sword hilt behind him in the other, with his armband and robe flying. He was looking down at him from above.
Chen Chuan looked up and met its gaze. He could see that it was also a statue, but... at this moment his brows twitched slightly. At this moment, the general suddenly moved, and the long mace he was holding came down at him!
Chen Chuan stood there motionless. The long mace pierced through his body with a bang, and a burst of light mist suddenly exploded. It was just a phantom. After this mace, the general turned around, and the sword behind him was unsheathed, slashing out a blade of light on the ground.
After that, he followed up with one move after another, and a large ball of light mist danced around his body.
Chen Chuan took a few steps and watched carefully. It was obvious that they were practicing a set of sophisticated moves, and it was a method of using both sword and mace. In the process of practicing, the god would roar like thunder, and there would be a golden-red light flashing in his body. This should be a demonstration of specific breathing methods and alienated tissue guidance techniques at the same time.
He immediately became interested. After watching for a while, he raised the Xuejun Sword. With a flash of light, he drew the sword out of its sheath. Then, holding the sword in one hand and the sheath in the other, he began to practice the moves and breathing demonstrated by the general.
With his current ability as a fighter, he could basically master any move after practicing it once, and with the last move he followed the statue and swung it out.
The statue suddenly turned into countless golden powders and scattered, leaving only the empty armor and the weapon in his hand.
Chen Chuan did not have time to look. At this moment, he only felt hot all over and there was a force brewing faintly in his body. After that round just now, not only were the alienated tissues in his body mobilized along with his breathing and moves, he could even feel that his spiritual appearance had become more fulfilled.
This is actually a secret technique that can help one develop spiritual abilities!
If the practice method in that booklet is used specifically to practice spirituality, then this method is a method that trains breathing, strength, spirit, alienated tissue and even spirituality in all aspects.
This is undoubtedly a top-level secret, most likely kept by the imperial family at the time, and perhaps even has some relationship with Yuwen Yuanqi.
He exhaled a breath of hot air, stopped and stood up. In this way, he now had one more way to practice spiritual cultivation, and it did not conflict with the original method of practice. This alone was worth the trip.
However, he also realized that practicing these moves required extremely strong strength, a high coverage of alienated tissue, and abundant energy to support it.
If the practitioner is unable to complete it in one breath, it seems that he will suffer permanent damage.
It's just him. If it were any other fighter, there would be no chance of success. But since the imperial family has mastered this secret, there must be someone who can practice it.
It's quite amazing to have such a foundation.
But think about it again, those descendants of the old imperial family may not all be human. Compared with the people below, they may be a different kind of creatures. This behavior is not too exaggerated.
He turned the Xuejun Sword, put it back into the sheath, and then walked to the front of the fallen armor and weapons.
The statue was more than 20 meters tall, and its armor and weapons were also extremely large. The armor still stood upright, with a long mace and a long sword inserted on both sides.
After looking at it for a few times, he suddenly had an idea and stretched out his hand. Suddenly, a giant hand, real or unreal, condensed behind him and grasped the long mace. After a while, the weapon trembled, and as the giant hand disappeared, the weapon disappeared along with it.
Chen Chuan's eyes lit up. That's right. This should be the so-called "magic weapon" recorded in the old times. It is now called a "boundary-fusion weapon". Different from a simple alienated weapon, this is a weapon specially used by spirits, between the real and the unreal.
He had heard Mr. Zhuan talk about it before, but had never seen it before, because this weapon was extremely rare. It was said to be made of some special lost materials, and it was definitely not something that ordinary fighters could get.
I didn't expect it to be here.
He looked at the knife again. Since the long mace was one, he thought this weapon should be one as well. So he walked over and tried it for a while. Sure enough, as the big hand behind him reached up and grasped it, the long knife was also taken in by him.
In addition to these two weapons, there is actually something even rarer.
He looked at the tall armor. If he was not mistaken, it should be a "Great and Powerful Armor", which is also a set of armor that can be worn by spirits.
He opened his hands, and with a thought, the spirit behind him vaguely appeared, and the armor began to tremble. The armor plates on it made a series of vibrations, and after a moment, they turned into wisps of mist and floated towards him.
