Chapter 56: Thunder of Heaven, Gold of Earth

"It's posted, hehe..."

Sharifei was carrying the box with sweat all over his forehead and a silly smile on his face.

Li Yan turned his head helplessly and said, "Uncle Sha, let's just bury the box and take it back when we go back. Why bother with this?"

The box was not big, but it was filled with high-quality gold bars. It was quite heavy, and even for Sha Lifei, it was a bit strenuous to carry it.

"That won't work!"

When Sharifei heard this, his eyes widened immediately. "Old Sha, I have never seen so much money in my life. What if something goes wrong and it is lost?"

"I will hug it when I sleep from now on, and no one can stop me!"

"Okay, okay, okay..."

Li Yan and Wang Daoxuan smiled at each other.

No one expected that going up the mountain tonight would yield such a reward.

Even if they divided it equally among four people, it would be enough for them to build the pavilion.

When windfall comes, nothing can stop it.

Of course, collecting lightning-struck jujube wood is still the main task.

Knowing that the bandit stronghold had been destroyed, everyone felt much more relaxed and continued walking along the mountain path towards Leopard Valley in the West Mountain.

Along the way, there were wild beasts coveting us.

The power of the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin was demonstrated at this time. Li Yan just activated it slightly, and the wolves hiding in the dark forest were frightened and retreated.

He glanced at Zhao Luzi and found that the other party was not surprised.

Li Yan knew that the treasure-hunting people of the mountain-carrying lineage walked in the mountains and forests all year round, and they must have some tricks to avoid ferocious beasts.

For example, this guy has no smell on him, and no one knows how he does it. If they weren't with him, the wild wolves probably wouldn't be able to find his whereabouts.

Half an hour later, everyone finally arrived at Leopard Valley.

"No, I can't carry it anymore."

Sharifei was already exhausted and sweating all over. He sat down on the ground holding the box.

"Shh!"

Zhao Luzi quickly made a gesture for silence, then crouched down and waved his hand for everyone to follow.

Several people followed him to climb up a ridge and looked into the distance through the grass. A strange scene suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Leopard Valley is not big, but it is sparsely populated, with dense forests and weeds half a person's height. If you look from the outside, there is no way to go.

At this moment, under the moonlight, there was a faint light in the center of the woods. It was blurry and not bright, but because it flickered, it looked like a flash of lightning.

Li Yan had seen it once and knew that the treasures from heaven and earth must have strange phenomena, but they would not appear in front of ordinary people, and there was no way to take the treasures. If you took them by force, your good fortune would be gone.

Of course, his Daluo Dharmakaya is not included in this list.

Just by touching it, you can plunder good fortune.

But if this thing is to be used to make a magical instrument, it is obviously not allowed to be messed around.

At Zhao Luzi's signal, several people retreated carefully, and Li Yan asked, "Brother Zhao, how do we get this treasure?"

There is a specific method to counteract each kind of heavenly treasure.

What's more troublesome is that there are many kinds of natural treasures. The same precious ginseng may restrain different things depending on its growing area and the evolution of the five elements.

Knowledge, experience, and skills are all indispensable.

This is the foundation of the tradition passed down to this day.

"It's very simple."

Zhao Luzi was not good at speaking by nature and was originally wary of everyone, but Li Yan spoke nicely along the way and was willing to give him a share of the gold they found, which made the young man completely convinced.

Therefore, he did not hide anything and explained the key points.

"The lightning-struck jujube wood belongs to the wood element in the five elements, and needs gold to overcome it. But if ordinary people only see this point, then they will have no chance of finding the treasure. Even if they find it, it will be no different from ordinary lightning-struck wood."

Wang Daoxuan glanced at the sky, his eyes flashing, "There is also the Thunder of Heaven!"

"That's right!"

Zhao Luzi nodded, "The reason why this item is considered a heavenly treasure is because of the word 'heavenly treasure'."

"The thunder of heaven is responsible for rectifying the order of heaven, regulating the four seasons, bringing about the birth of all things, protecting against disasters, killing the devil, eradicating plagues, and capturing all the intractable evil spirits of the devil."

"With or without this heavenly thunder, there is a world of difference!"

"So, this treasure belongs to the wood of heaven, and needs the metal of earth to restrain it, so that the treasure can be taken out intact."

Li Yan praised: "I have learned a lot. What is this gold of the earth?"

Zhao Luzi glanced at the direction where the lightning struck the jujube tree and whispered, "Generally speaking, there are two kinds of earth gold. One is the same heavenly treasure, which requires the three treasures of gold, silver and copper produced by underground mines. They are called Chun Qiongquan, Shu Shao Nian and Lei Sheng Ji respectively. They can all be transformed into spirits and are very precious and hard to find."

"The other is based on the theory of yin and yang. Wherever there are poisonous snakes, there must be an antidote. There must also be something that can overcome the poison near the heavenly spirits and earthly treasures."

"If I were alone, it would probably take me more than half a month to find it, but with your help, it will be easy."

"Master Wang, since you are good at Feng Shui, please help me see where the Duijin is if this place is divided into nine palaces?"

“Brother Li, you have the ability of nose, so that thing should not be hidden very deep. I’m counting on you.”

"Master Sha, there are leopards hiding in this Leopard Valley. They are very ferocious and will attack anyone who gets close to the lightning-struck wood. You must stop them and don't let them get in the way."

After saying that, he looked at the sky and said, "We don't have much time. Once midnight passes, the lightning-struck wood will hide again. If we fail and scare the treasure, I'm afraid it won't come out again for half a year."

"Taking treasure at any other time will cause the fortune to dissipate."

"Without further delay, let's get started!"

Once the plan was made, everyone stopped hesitating and took action immediately.

Wang Daoxuan took out the compass, climbed to a nearby high ground, checked the terrain by moonlight, muttered something, marked several areas, and dug the soil to taste. This is to look at the feng shui terrain, and you have to have the big picture and the small picture in mind. Fortunately, Wang Daoxuan was cautious and had memorized the terrain pattern of Yetai Mountain during the day.

In less than half an incense stick of time, Wang Daoxuan pointed to the southwest:

"Right over there!"

Everyone looked up quickly.

That was the area near the woods, bordering the cliff. The surrounding grass and trees were sparse and bare, which was different from the surrounding areas.

What's even more interesting is that the place is some distance away from the jujube tree that was struck by lightning, so no matter how loud the noise is, it will not scare the treasure.

Li Yan didn't waste any words, he tiptoed and trotted over.

He had activated his nasal ability, but he didn't smell anything unusual.

Li Yan's heart moved, he pinched the Yang Jue, concentrated his mind, focused all his energy, and took a deep breath.

In an instant, smells from more areas flooded into my nostrils.

This is the benefit of having supernatural powers under control.

It can be closed on weekdays, like gathering strength, and then suddenly burst out when needed without hurting the soul.

Soon, he smelled a strange odor.

The smell was very strange. Two meters underground, it had a metallic smell as well as a rotten and moldy smell.

Although it was not clear what it was, it was the only metal nearby. Li Yan immediately picked up a shovel and started digging with Zhao Luzi who came rushing over.

They were both martial artists with great strength. After a short while, they dug a two-meter-deep pit. There was a dark area underneath, like a moldy spider web.

"Slow down, I'll do it!"

Zhao Luzi let out a low cry, signaling Li Yan to step back.

He took off a pair of deerskin gloves from his waist and carefully brushed away the loose dirt until the whole thing was exposed. Then he found the edges and corners, and gently rubbed them with both hands until they became a black rope.

"What is this thing?"

Li Yan asked curiously.

This thing is buried deep underground, and has gathered some of the evil energy from the earth's veins, but it is very thin and cannot be refined into any magical weapon to suppress evil.

"This is Iron Cloth."

Zhao Luzi explained: "It's a bit like mold, but it's formed by iron ore. There must be a vein underneath. It can only be seen under special circumstances."

"Some burrowing bugs love to eat this stuff. Once it comes into contact with human energy, it becomes numb and soft and cannot be twisted into a rope..."

"Oh I got it."

Li Yan suddenly realized that this thing was most likely a kind of iron-eating mold, which could only be formed under special circumstances, so ordinary people could not recognize it.

I'm afraid that only those who are willing to hold onto treasures won't make mistakes.

After twisting the iron armor into a rope, Zhao Luzi said, "I'm going to get the treasure. You smell like strangers, so don't get close. Wait for my signal!"

After saying this, he tiptoed into the woods.

Only then did Li Yan suddenly realize.

No wonder there is no smell on the other person. He must have used some method to conceal the treasure so as not to alert the gods and the treasures.

At this moment, he frowned, looked suddenly towards the southeast side of the forest, and snatched the sheepskin bag from Sharifei's waist.

After untying it, throw out all the meatballs soaked in pig blood.

Suddenly the air was filled with the smell of blood.

"coming?"

Sharifei asked quickly.

Li Yan nodded and slowly drew his sword. "There are two of them, they are quite large. Let's lead them away and don't disturb Brother Zhao!"

Call ~
As they were talking, a fishy wind blew from the dense forest.

Two pairs of eyes as big as copper bells appeared in the darkness of the dense forest, emitting a faint green light, one on the left and one on the right, slowly approaching from both sides.

After leaving the dense forest, we saw two leopards under the moonlight.

The leopard, also known as the golden leopard, is extremely ferocious.

Although its fighting power is not as good as that of a tiger, it feels more agile and nimble. When it goes crazy, it will dare to attack even a tiger if it encounters one.

So, to describe a person as courageous is to say that he is as brave as a leopard.

The two leopards were not only larger in size, but also very smart. They sniffed the thorns a few times and then ignored them, staring at everyone with their ferocious fangs bared.

Moreover, there were obvious knife marks on the face of one of them.

"Be careful, these two may soon become spiritual!"

Wang Daoxuan looked solemn and reminded in a low voice.

After having spirituality, the next step is to have spiritual practice.

If you have been injured and do not eat Tribulus terrestris, it means you have suffered a loss before.

"It must have been those bandits who did it."

Sharifei cursed inwardly and also raised his knife to protect Wang Daoxuan.

His martial arts skills were average, and he had not developed any hidden strength over the years, but after all, he had been traveling around the world for many years, so he had some skills in handling a knife.

Seeing the leopard getting closer and closer, Li Yan frowned slightly, and with a concentrated thought, the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin Knife Spike suddenly shook left and right.

It would be best if he could scare it away, as he has no intention of fighting with the wild beast.

However, sensing the aura of the Three Talents Demon Suppression Coin, the two leopards went crazy and leaped forward suddenly...
