Mysterious Tang Dynasty

When the morning sun rose on a new day, Li Lijun and Erhong were already sitting in the cave that was only five or six square meters in size.

Everyone was very tired after driving all night.The Rat King simply retracted into the small shrine where he lived and lay flat.Anyway, the outside world is full of aura, but it is too cold.Its small shrine is filled with runes to keep out the cold, and it is comfortable and warm to hide in. There is a spirit gathering array to automatically absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world. It can quickly recover its spiritual power without practicing, and it doesn't even want to wake up.

However, when lying flat, it didn't take off the armor on its body, and even hugged a pair of custom-made claw guards in its arms, loving it so much.This night, it realized the benefits of the pair of small claws. Not only are they sharper and harder than its claws, they are even more powerful when digging up rocks, and it is also mixed with the little lady Li Lijun who bought it from Wang Niangzi's grocery store when refining. Sun Rock Crystal has the effect of heating and moisturizing, which can ensure that it will not freeze its claws when digging holes in the snow and ice. It is simply a supreme artifact!It can't live without these pair of claws now, and even its owner, Erhong, wants to take them over for inspection and maintenance, but it is reluctant to let go.

The mouse king was lying in his small room with his paws in his arms. Even though he was very tired, the mouse still had a smile on his face.

Its owner, Erhong, was not so relaxed.

She huddled in a sheltered corner of the cave, working her mind with some difficulty, trying to warm up her body as soon as possible and restore her ability to move.Just before she was about to climb up the cave, she accidentally took a wrong step and stepped on an unsteady rock. She fell down about ten meters without any injuries. The cold mountain wind and aura outside.She was almost frozen at the time, but fortunately the little lady Li Lijun came to rescue her in time, otherwise she didn't know if she would be able to endure the cold wind for a quarter of an hour.

Originally, when she was approaching Bald Mountain, she had already felt the coldness in the air in this area, but when she really reached the area above the mountainside, she realized that the temperature of this mountain was far lower than her imagination.No wonder there is no grass growing here, not even animals and insects passing by.Occasionally, some practitioners pass by, but they just borrow the way from the foot of the mountain, and they will not go up the mountain at all.If it wasn't for the young lady accompanying her, she would not have dared to take a step into the mountains.

Although the spiritual energy on this mountain is really abundant, it is more abundant than the spiritual energy market she has been to, the underground near the Houtu Temple, and the spiritual energy point on the cliff of the Qinling Mountains.

After Li Lijun practiced a wave of "Sun, Moon, and Nebula Jue", looking back at Erhong's situation, her once pale face finally turned a little bloody, so she was relieved and said with a smile: "Be careful next time, Don’t step on the places you’re not sure about. In fact, the mountains around here are not very steep, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

Erhong finished her work, let out a long breath, and said with some embarrassment: "I just saw that the entrance of the cave was in front of me, and I was so happy, so I was careless for a while, and I will never dare to do it again in the future." She looked back. The Hanhai lantern beside him couldn't help but praise, "This lantern is so wonderful! Where did the little lady get this treasure? If it wasn't for it, I wouldn't dare to come to such a cold place!"...

Li Lijun couldn't tell the truth, so he could only vaguely say: "I have also had a few adventures, and I can always gain something. This lamp is good, but the key is the spirit fire inside. This is the one I killed in Mount Saga. It is something obtained after killing the giant snake. The giant snake has such a spirit fire, but it is only used as a means of attack, it is really reckless."

Erhong nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Erhong's condition had recovered, Li Lijun urged the mouse king to come out as soon as possible, so as to discuss the next plan.

Although it was very cold in this cave, with Hanhai's lantern, they could practice for a few days with peace of mind and enjoy the abundant aura environment.It's just that they came here specially and brought the Rat King with them, of course not just for cultivation.Li Lijun hopes that Rat King can try to drill a mountain in this small cave first, to see how the geological conditions of this mountain are, and whether it can handle it?If there is no problem, it can expand the area of ​​the cave first, and then go deeper to explore the situation behind the pile of rubble.

It would be even better if it could dig into the mountainside and figure out what was buried there.

Before Li Lijun had time to explain clearly, there might be an ancestor of Yuanying trapped in this mountain, Erhong had already guessed: "Yes! The aura here is so abundant, could it be that there is a spiritual vein in the mountain? Just like our Suo'a Mountain The water spirit cave at the bottom of Sitai Peak is average. There are so many water spirit stones in it because of an unformed nascent spirit vein. If the spirit energy here is due to the overflow of spirit energy from the spirit vein, then there must be a spirit stone mine in the mountain. ?”

Erhong has already learned a lot of common sense in the cultivation world from Li Lijun, and her eyes are shining now: "If there is a spiritual stone mine, then we will never have to worry about the lack of spiritual energy in the future!" They can dig more. When the spirit stone comes out, take it home to form a spirit gathering array, and make a personal artificial spirit vein at home, which will be convenient for everyone to practice!

Seeing how excited Erhong was, Li Lijun opened his mouth and closed it again.

Forget it, there is nothing wrong with Erhong's thinking. This mountain is so full of aura, either there are spiritual veins or spiritual objects. If they dig more, they will always gain something.She couldn't explain clearly about Patriarch Lin Yuan for a while, so she simply dug first.Anyway, the situation in the mountain is still unclear. The Rat King has dug deep enough into the mountain, and it is possible to dig out anything.

The Rat King knows very little common sense in the cultivation world, but he has a lot of experience in mining in the mountains. He immediately patted his chest and said, "No problem! I am the best at mining! At my hometown, I count the gold I dug up." Most blocks!"

Although the gold nuggets it digs are now cheaper than others...

Erhong asked him to try to dig the cave a little bigger first: "The cave is too small, and it's too crowded for one person. The little lady is kind and let the slave occupy this sheltered corner, so the little lady can only stay in the corner of the cave." The entrance of the cave is suffering from the wind, so I am really wronged. If the cave can be doubled in size, it will be at least as big as the king’s house, so it can barely accommodate people.”

The Mouse King immediately moved his hands obediently.

In the past, Li Lijun felt that this small cave was ejected from the depths of the mountain, and then the entire ballistic path was buried by the collapsed rubble, leaving only the outermost hole, forming a small cave. The small space has undergone a small natural evolution under the wind and rain for thousands of years. The entrance of the cave has shrunk, and a circle of broken stones has been added around it, creating a small shelter from the wind.Now, Li Lijun and Erhong hope that King Shu can dig a little deeper into the inner walls on both sides of the cave entrance to see how hard the rock is.

But before digging the mountain and drilling the hole, the Mouse King had to get rid of the thick layer of ice on the wall of the hole.

Its new precious claw guards are very powerful, and it can easily dig through the ice.It's just that when digging in again, it feels a little strange.

Why is the rock behind the ice layer different from the rock it dug before?It is smooth, with a layer of translucent shell, which is not considered hard. It is said to be an ice layer, but it does not feel like ice, and it is tightly attached to the rock.

It looks a bit like the owner's little friend Shi Qing specially gave it a glazed bowl for drinking water!
