The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 127 No, you are a tomb guardian beast, how can you open the door? (6k)

Revisiting the old place, looking at the second uncle walking in front, Zhou Qing probably had guessed where they were going next.

Besides feeling nervous, I was also a little excited.

Now he has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Because of the energy of Heaven, his combat power almost completely crushes those of the same level.

If you enter the [Shenxu Tiangong] simulation again, you won’t be able to pass the gravity zone.

When he went to break in at the late Jindan stage, he almost always fell in the second wave. Now that he is at the Yuanying stage, let alone breaking in, he will probably die soon.

In reality, even Duanmu Shu and other supreme elders did not dare to easily send cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage into it. After all, that had already touched a certain red line.

If you act rashly, you are very likely to activate the mysterious object guarding in secret, which will lead to unpredictable consequences.

The last time he went in, he had clearly felt the creepy feeling of being watched.

As for his innate skill [Reduce Presence], it is estimated that it will not play any role at all when facing the existence inside.

First of all, that thing is not a living creature. Secondly, even the Supreme Elders who have reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm are extremely wary of it, and they are no match for it.

"Oh, there's no hope now!" Zhou Qing sighed helplessly, feeling frustrated.

Since he couldn't even pass the gravity zone during the simulation trial, there was no need to mention the ones later.

In this case, what is the use of this token of [Shenxu Tiangong]?

Or maybe I advanced too quickly. I’ll have to wait until I encounter an equally terrifying forbidden area in the future and am included in it, and then I’ll see if I have another chance.

Of course, this is hard to say, mainly because he is short of money and does not have enough mid-grade spirit stones to go in and try.

"What did you just say?" The second uncle walking in front tilted his head slightly and asked.

Zhou Qing quickly responded, "No, nothing. I just suddenly felt like time has flown by so quickly. The last time I left here was a year ago."

As Zhou Qing spoke, he couldn't help but stop and look at the cave entrance on the side.

It was here that the second uncle helped him get more than twenty pieces of Flame Spirit Blood Ointment and then left.

I chased after him and shouted, asking if he could give me another chance if I recognized him next time we met.

At that time, the second uncle just smiled and continued walking forward, as if he really did not agree.

Hearing Zhou Qing's slightly sentimental words, the second uncle couldn't help but smile slightly and jokingly said, "Wow, at such a young age, you've already learned to be moved by the sight of things. This is just the beginning. In the future, there will be plenty of times when you'll sigh that things have changed and people have changed. Come and catch up."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing quickly quickened his pace and followed closely.

Until the two of them came to the five-color altar again, after the last appraisal, Zhou Qing knew that the real advanced formation was divided into nine colors, one color was the weakest, and nine colors were the strongest.

The thing in front of you is a priceless treasure.

Afterwards, the second uncle skillfully placed eight high-grade spirit stones on it one by one.

In an instant, the altar shone brightly.

Seeing Zhou Qing about to step forward, the second uncle gently pulled him back, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked, "Don't you want to ask what we are going to do?"

Zhou Qing shook his head, looking confident: "No matter what, I believe you can get me out safely. After all, I have to make you proud in the future and teach that old friend's apprentice a lesson."

After hearing what Zhou Qing said, the second uncle couldn't help but stare at him for a long time, and then burst into laughter.

"You little kid are becoming more and more to my old man's taste!"

Immediately afterwards, the second uncle brought Zhou Qing onto the altar and disappeared in an instant.

When Zhou Qing opened his eyes again, he was already in another passage.

The two of them kept walking forward, and after about a whole incense stick of time, a ray of light finally appeared in front of them.

When they climbed out, Zhou Qing looked at the tunnel in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

I've seen it many times, but this is the first time I've come out of here.

"How about leaving a message?" The second uncle raised his chin slightly, his eyes lingering on his own handwriting for a moment, with a bit of complacency, and then turned to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing shook his head repeatedly. His handwriting was too recognizable.

The two words "that's it" written by the second uncle already had a provocative tone. If he said another word, the supreme elders would be furious.

However, judging from the unrepaired hole, no one had come in for more than a year.

It seems that this place has really become my iron rice bowl.

Seeing that Zhou Qing had no intention of leaving a message, the Second Master didn't force him. He stretched his muscles a bit, and the smug look on his face intensified. "I guess you helped them turn the key before, so at most you only came here. But wait and see, what I'm going to do next is a special skill that I've practiced for many years."

After the second uncle finished speaking, he pointed to the millstone in the distance and said loudly, "Roll it over here."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but curl his lips. Then he went over and rolled the millstone closer, looking up and asking, "And then?"

"Follow me!" The second uncle strode forward to lead the way, while Zhou Qing followed slowly behind, pushing the millstone.

Before the second uncle could give any instructions, Zhou Qing had already placed the millstone steadily in the designated place.

Second Master: “…”

Zhou Qing scratched his head and explained with a chuckle, "Look, there are traces all over here. This millstone was originally placed here when I first came in. It was also in this place that you detained me."

The Second Master stared at Zhou Qing, his eyes filled with surprise and approval. "Thinking back to the Five Sects Yibao Gathering, when you were faced with the rare treasures in the blind box, you were able to control your desire and know when to stop."

"Now, in such an unfamiliar environment, you haven't panicked in the slightest. Instead, you remain calm and composed, as careful as a hair. With your talent and determination, you will surely become a great man in the future. Your future achievements are boundless."

Zhou Qing felt embarrassed when he heard this.

How could I resist the temptation at the time? It was clear that [Daily Review] only gave me one chance.

As for this place, God knows how many times I have been here.

"Let's go!"

The second uncle now admired and liked Zhou Qing even more. After he finished speaking, the two of them stepped into the passage together.

Not long after, the familiar yet eerie scene came into view again, and a look of panic appeared on Zhou Qing's face.

Although he trusted the Second Master in his heart, as the saying goes, things in the world are unpredictable, not to mention that he was here in person this time, which made him feel uneasy.

Even the second uncle licked his lips slightly, his expression solemn, and he warned seriously: "Remember, you must do whatever I do later, and you must move quickly. If you are a little slow, you may encounter great terror."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, and at the same time exhaled long breaths continuously, as if to give himself courage.

"Go!" The second uncle suddenly spoke, and in an instant, Zhou Qing rushed out like an arrow.

The two of them jumped almost at the same time and jumped into the river of blood.

"Hurry up..." The second uncle just turned his head and was about to give instructions, but was surprised to find that Zhou Qing had already placed the three dead crows on his left and right shoulders and on his head very quickly, and then swam towards the shore like a fish in water.

"Fuck my grandma--" The second uncle couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of surprise.

Not daring to delay any longer, the two climbed up the river bank almost simultaneously.

Zhou Qing was extremely anxious and ran straight towards the third coffin.

"You know all this?" The second uncle followed closely behind, his face full of disbelief.

Zhou Qing quickly waved his hands and explained, "I don't know. I just instinctively felt that this is the right thing to do. Sir, please hurry up."

You know, once the corpse wax crow shows up, it will blow his head off directly. Plus, with a strong man like the Second Master coming today, maybe all three of them will come out in full force.

"Could you have been the tomb guardian beast here in your previous life? How come you are so familiar with the method of opening the door?" The second uncle had no time to say more. He hurriedly used all his strength to push the coffin lid open little by little.

Zhou Qing gritted his teeth, ran to the first coffin, and pushed it with all his strength.

After all, the last time he simulated coming in, he couldn't pry it open with Tetanus, and now he is in the Nascent Soul stage, so he takes this opportunity to give it a try.

There was still a crackling sound, but it would take several hours to push it open completely. Ultimately, it was because I was too weak.

Just as Zhou Qing was about to take out the tetanus vaccine, the creepy chill hit him again. Zhou Qing turned his head slowly with a stiff neck.

As expected, three gigantic corpse wax crows slowly walked out from the darkness on the other side of the blood river. Their eyes were so cold that they seemed to be able to penetrate their souls, staring at them intently.

"What are you still standing there for? Let's go!" The second uncle stretched out his big hand and grabbed Zhou Qing. The two of them jumped into the third coffin that had just been pushed open.

At the same time, just before the corpse wax crow descended, the coffin lid made a dull loud noise and slammed shut.

…………

At this moment, Zhou Qing only felt that his body was falling at a very fast speed, and the wind was whistling in his ears, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

There was also a pungent smell that made people feel nauseous.

He suppressed the discomfort and opened his eyes with all his strength. Looking around, the scene below gradually became clear.

It was a scene of blazing purgatory. Endless magma surged and surged like a raging sea. Towering volcanoes spewed billowing flames and thick smoke, dyeing the world a fiery crimson. And amidst the magma and volcanoes, an immense animal skeleton lay quietly on the ground.

The scale of the animal bones was extremely astonishing. The length alone was hundreds of feet long. From a distance, it exuded an ancient and desolate atmosphere.

Judging from the shape of the wing bones, it is not difficult to infer that this seems to be the skeleton left behind by an extremely large crow.

The two figures fell like meteors until they crashed to the ground.

It was only then that Zhou Qing noticed up close that, in addition to the volcano and magma, there were also large areas of ruins scattered around, which were extremely ancient in style. It seemed that this place had experienced a devastating catastrophe before, leaving only these incomplete traces.

Looking at this scene, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel dry in the mouth.

It’s hard to imagine that the third coffin is so big, it’s like a small world.

Soon Zhou Qing realized that in this place, apart from his own spiritual power, which he could barely mobilize, the power of his soul seemed to be sealed by some mysterious force outside and could not be used at all.

"Uncle, where exactly is this place?" After calming down a little, Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, the Second Master simply smiled and waved his hand, saying, "A tomb, the tomb of an unrivaled master. Even if I told you, you might not understand it now."

Then, he looked at Zhou Qing seriously and curiously, and said, "By the way, you're not really a tomb guardian beast, are you? Just looking at the series of movements you made just now, they were so skillful and smooth. Someone who didn't know you would think you frequent this place."

Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly waved his hands, saying, "How is this possible? Look at this place, can I just come here casually? I swear, this is really my first time here."

As Zhou Qing spoke, he quickly glanced around at the purgatory-like volcanic environment around him and emphasized again.

Because this was really his first time here.

After coming in, it was purely a physical stress response, mainly because the corpse wax crow had hit him on the head with its black feathers many times, and he was almost suffering from psychological trauma.

The second uncle listened to Zhou Qing's explanation and nodded slightly.

That's right, how could this kid get in? It's simply a fantasy.

Duanmu Shu and the others still haven't figured out the situation. They need the help of the dead crows to temporarily conceal their yang fire so that they can reach the other side of the shore.

Now, they almost always rely on brute force to rush downstream along the blood river, trying hard to find some treasure in it.

Because of this, they were almost always seriously injured every time they went out. They were too pedantic in their actions and did not know how to be flexible.

What's that saying? If you're bitten by a snake, there's an antidote within a hundred steps. There were so many dead crows in that river of blood, but they couldn't see any. I'm really impressed.

"I was trapped in this hellish place for years. Fortunately, I was blessed with good fortune and luck, and finally managed to escape!"

The second uncle looked at the familiar scene around him, took a deep breath, and his face was full of emotion.

Zhou Qing also looked around slowly, and finally, his eyes stopped on the huge corpse in the distance.

Seen from the ground, the corpse appeared much larger than when he looked down from the air. A single bone was tens of meters long.

This made him gasp in amazement. He couldn't imagine how huge such a monster would be and how powerful it would be when it was alive.

"That's the bone of a crow with the blood of the Golden Crow!" Seeing Zhou Qing staring at the huge skeleton in the distance, the second uncle spoke slowly.

Zhou Qing was shocked when he heard this and blurted out, "Three-legged Golden Crow?"

The Second Master nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, it is the Three-legged Golden Crow. Rumor has it that in a certain sixth-level cultivation nation, their national bird of fortune is actually a three-legged golden crow."

Zhou Qing's expression became more and more terrified. You know, they rarely have the opportunity to get in touch with and understand the relevant matters of the fifth-level cultivation country, let alone the more mysterious and powerful sixth-level cultivation country.

Isn't the secret hidden in the Taiqing Sect's cave too shocking? Moreover, this is just one of the coffins.

"Zhou boy, this world is vast and boundless, far larger than you can imagine. What you have come into contact with so far is not even the tip of the iceberg of the entire world."

"So you have to work hard. Only by becoming strong enough and standing at a higher position can you have the opportunity to see the magnificent scenery in the distance!"

The second uncle suddenly reached out his hand, patted Zhou Qing's shoulder heavily, and gave him earnest advice.

Zhou Qing nodded silently, his heart full of emotion.

Take the Shengwu Dynasty for example, which has eight counties and seventy-two prefectures under its jurisdiction, and the farthest place he has ever been to is Lingyun Prefecture.

The rest of the time he basically wandered around the five major sects, and he didn't even finish visiting a quarter of Lingyun Mansion, let alone other places.

"Let's go!" Seeing that Zhou Qing seemed to understand, the second uncle didn't say anything more, but just took Zhou Qing and walked slowly forward.

After walking a few steps, Zhou Qing couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Why don't we go to the place where the crow bones are?"

"I've been trapped in this place for so many years. I've already seen all the places I should see. There's nothing left to see." The second uncle said without turning his head.

Zhou Qing still felt a little unwilling in his heart. Don't forget, today's [Daily Review] has not been used yet.

As if guessing what Zhou Qing was thinking, the Second Master immediately said, "Don't be fooled by the size of the crow bone. In fact, the divinity contained in it has long since disappeared. Now it is just an ordinary bone. Don't worry about it."

After hearing what the second uncle said, Zhou Qing reluctantly gave up the idea and could only continue to follow the second uncle forward.

"What about other places? There are ruins all around here. Are there any buildings like palaces left?" Zhou Qing asked expectantly as he carefully looked at the ruins all around him.

The second uncle shook his head slightly and replied, "Yes, there are, but I've already visited most of them. I've already collected all the good stuff. Now I only have one last place left."

"Have you been to the other five sarcophagi?" Zhou Qing showed a look of regret, and asked again without giving up.

The second uncle stopped helplessly and said, "I like to explore one place first before exploring other places."

"That sounds a bit like obsessive-compulsive disorder. Then, sir, why don't you start with the first coffin?"

"That's because my lucky number is three."

"I see. But you've been stuck here for so many years, haven't you ever thought of changing your number?"

"If you keep talking too much, believe it or not, I'll throw you here so you can feel what it's like to be trapped."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to say another word.

Not knowing how long they had been walking like this, Zhou Qing suddenly felt something and looked towards a volcano in the distance that was still erupting.

This time, it was the Second Master who took the initiative to speak: "There is a remnant of a palace on top of the volcano. The energy of the Heavenly Dao in you comes from there."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he frowned.

When the "Yin Yang Secret" was obtained from the first coffin, the information recorded in it was that a strong man named Zhongli Bo accidentally passed by here and discovered the young Yin and Yang energy that was still in gestation, so he left behind protection and even covered it up.

Moreover, he also left here the "Yin Yang Secret" practiced by his good friend who had once saved him but unfortunately died in the starry sky battlefield.

According to common sense, these protective measures should not be left in the tomb of such a powerful man with such a terrifying aura.

Looking at the surrounding scenery today, it seems even older and more ancient.

There is only one explanation, that the restricted area is already here, but it is not on the surface, but buried deep underground.

Until one day, no one knew what happened, but it slowly emerged, and in the process, it also swallowed the energy of the Heavenly Dao and the "Yin Yang Secret" together.

Then, as time passed, this place was discovered by the first generation leader of Taiqing Sect, who then established the sect here. Since then, generations of people have begun to explore and protect it.

Well, that should be the case!

"This is it!" At this moment, the second uncle suddenly stopped.

Zhou Qing also came back to his senses and looked forward.

What comes into view is a surging ocean of fire, with endless magma rolling and surging wildly in it.

The bubbles on its surface kept bursting like boiling water, and each burst was accompanied by a strong heat wave gushing out.

Looking at the magma world in front of him that seemed to have no end in sight, Zhou Qing couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The second uncle said, "This is the last place in the third coffin that I haven't fully explored. There are a lot of fire crocodiles living in it, which are extremely difficult to deal with."

When Zhou Qing heard this, his eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Master, you don't want me to get out, do you?"

The second uncle's face was immediately filled with smiles, and with a chuckle, everything was said without words.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing hurriedly shook his head and involuntarily took a few steps back. He said with a look of resistance, "Although I have never seen that Fire Crocodile, even you can't do anything about it. If I go down, it would be like giving it snacks."

The second uncle smiled and explained, "You're overthinking it. The main reason is that the crocodile king here has begun to regress and has some magical powers unique to the bloodline of the ancestral crocodile. Every time I fight it, I can't get out of it."

"And all you have to do is sneak down while I'm holding it back up there and help me find a fan."

"Fan?" Zhou Qing was stunned when he heard this.

The second uncle nodded, his eyes shining. "That's right. Rumor has it that the fan was made from the wings of a golden crow and possesses incredible power. I only want the fan. If you find anything else good down there, it's all yours. How about that?"

Zhou Qing looked at the second uncle suspiciously.

You have almost finished exploring the third coffin, and it seems you have learned a lot of secrets.

It’s the end of the month, please support me with your monthly pass, as it will soon expire and be reset.
