Chapter 478 Yuan Tiangang's Joke
"This sword should be the eye of the formation." Chen Ziyang thought, he hurriedly pointed the beam of the flashlight in that direction, and kept moving around.

Nine straight up and down iron bars were arranged in a herringbone shape, surrounding the sword. After the flashlight moved upwards, Chen Ziyang saw that the nine iron bars went straight into the top of the rock. Judging from the arrangement of the iron bars, this place should be directly below the nine armors.

Then Chen Ziyang turned his attention to the sword again.The whole body of this sword is dark, and it also exudes an oily light. It doesn't look like it was cast from gold and iron.

"Could it be that this is a wooden sword?" Chen Ziyang came up with this idea, the oily light on the sword looked like a very oily wooden handle that faded after many years of playing. The kind of oily light that is emitted, this kind of light is very different from the light of metal, and can be distinguished at a glance.

"My darling, this sword is definitely an antique. It seems that there are quite a few people passing by, and it's all covered with patina. If you pull it out and turn the beads, it will definitely make a lot of bracelets, and it will definitely be sold. Pay a big price." After searching around, Yang Lei, who found nothing, came up and said in surprise when he saw the sword under the beam of the flashlight.

"Grandma Che, you only have money in your eyes. You want to take the beads for such a good thing. Can you have a future? It's a waste of money. You can be ashamed, but don't be so ashamed."

"You still have the nerve to say that I only know about money? You forgot why we came here, and it's not to help you get money. I'm not afraid of embarrassment, I'm used to it." Yang Lei looked at the ancient sword in front of him, drooling, Said on the side.

At this time, Chen Ziyang noticed that the other people had all gathered, and they kept looking in the direction of the sword. After several flashlights gathered together, the area illuminated was wider. Only then did I notice that there seemed to be another formation under the sword and the nine iron bars.

This formation is all made of black stones, almost the same color as the ground here, so Chen Ziyang didn't notice it before.

Some stones carved with Taoist talisman patterns formed a small square, and the nine iron bars and the ancient sword were all inserted into the grains of the stones. The grains on these stones are connected to each other and spliced ​​together. Together, this formation is formed.It should be this formation that supports the nine armors above.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang was even more surprised. This sword is not simple, definitely not simple!In addition to this ancient sword, the entire formation is only the nine iron bars. Thinking about it this way, it is the mana contained in this sword that supports the nine armor formations above for thousands of years, and every tenth Start once a year.

Jin Huang, who is a master of the Maoshan formation, was also extremely shocked. He didn't say a word, but kept his face serious, staring at the formation under the ancient sword, studying it, hoping to benefit from it.

"Ziyang, this place is not right." When several people were all fascinated by the ancient sword and the formation below, there was a discordant voice from Shuai Ushiki, and he was the only one who would not be caught by the crowd. Attracted by things, but always pay attention to the surrounding situation.

"what happened?"

"Didn't you notice it? The island in the middle of the lake is quite large, but there isn't even a single glowing mushroom on it."

"Ah?" After being reminded by Shuai Sanshi, Chen Ziyang noticed this.Yes, this is very strange.Since coming here, all the ground that a few people can see, or some rock walls with a small amount of soil, all grow that kind of glowing mushrooms, but this island in the middle of the lake is pitch black, except for the flying monsters flying in the air. Except for the glowing mosquitoes in the sky, there is no light at all.

A few people just happened to notice that a luminous mushroom sprayed out spores. When the spores were sprayed out, they were very powerful. In addition, the spores themselves were so small that they could be sprayed out more than ten meters away. And that one plant alone The number of spores emitted by the glowing mushrooms is quite a lot.

When a few people waded over, they all saw a thin layer of grease-like things floating on the water surface. Those should be mushroom spores that were sprayed on the water surface.

If you think about it this way, this underground world should be full of that kind of glowing mushrooms, and in fact it is so, except for this island in the middle of the lake, all the other places that a few people saw are filled with glowing mushrooms .

But why aren't those glowing mushrooms growing here?Chen Ziyang pressed the scabbard of the ancient Xuanming sword on the ground. Although the soil here is not very thick, there is still soil.

He could see clearly before that even some glowing mushrooms grew in the crevices of some rocks. It is impossible that there is so much soil here but there is no way to grow.Could it be because this is an island in the middle of the lake, so the spores of other mushrooms cannot be sprayed here.

Raising his head, Chen Ziyang took a photo on the top of the rock with a flashlight. There are also many glowing mushrooms growing on the top of the rock here. When those mushrooms spew out spores, they will definitely land on the island in the middle of the lake.

"There is something wrong with the soil here." After sniffing a handful of soil in front of her nose for a while, Xu Xiaoyuan said with certainty: "The soil here should be mixed with something, and it has a very strange smell, like It's a mixture of herbs and maybe some lime."

Chen Ziyang also imitated Xu Xiaoyuan's appearance, lying on the ground and smelling it. Although he is not like Xu Xiaoyuan who often comes into contact with medicinal materials and has a very good nose, he can also smell some weird smells. There should indeed be something mixed in it.

"Shangguan Kangning, how's the situation over there?" Chen Ziyang asked Shangguan Kangning while thinking about the other functions of these weird soils.

"The scent of the female sun-moon worm does not come from the direction of this formation, it seems...it seems to be in that direction." Shangguan Kangning looked at the caterpillar, and then pointed to a dark field not far away. said Shadow.

"The two caterpillars in the bottle are already very manic. I think the female of the sun and moon worm is not far from here, and it is very likely behind that small hill."

Chen Ziyang looked up, and the place Shangguan Kangning was pointing to seemed to be the highest point of the island in the middle of the lake, a place similar to a small hill.

The place where the ancient sword and the nine iron bar formations are located is located in a depression on the island in the middle of the lake, and behind this depression is the raised hill.

"What! Doesn't that mean that the treasure is here!" Yang Lei almost jumped up with joy.

"Huh? Treasure? Haha, I understand. When placing the treasure, Yuan Tiangang knew that there were many such glowing mushrooms here, so he intentionally mixed some things into the soil of the island in the middle of the lake. The purpose is to There is no way for mushroom spores to grow and reproduce here.

I guess his purpose of doing this is to protect the things placed here. Maybe if the treasure is stained by those mushroom spores, it will be very easy to damage.In other words, there are no mushrooms growing here, which just proves that the treasure should be on this small island. "

Let Chen Ziyang say this, and several other people also reacted.Chen Ziyang's statement is reasonable. If it wasn't for protecting the things on the island in the middle of the lake, why would someone spend so much effort mixing things into the soil?It must have been very targeted.

"But... what kind of treasures should Yuan Tiangang take care of so much? Gold and silver treasures are mostly jade and gold and silver, and these things are not afraid of mushroom spores.

Some mushrooms and mushroom spores are poisonous, I know that, but I've never heard of anything going bad after getting mushroom spores on it. "Xu Xiaoyuan asked, frowning.

After a sudden slap on the forehead, Chen Ziyang suddenly realized: "I think it's wrong, the reason why Yuan Tiangang mixed things in the soil here is not to protect the treasure, but to protect the wooden sword. "

"That's right." Xu Xiaoyuan also understood that if there were a lot of mushrooms growing nearby, the wooden sword would definitely be stained with mushroom spores. The sword will be destroyed.

"What? It's to protect the sword, isn't it to protect the treasure? Is there any treasure in front?" Yang Lei shouted in disappointment.

"Don't think too much about it. The smell of the sun and moon worms comes from the front. It is very likely that the treasure is in front. Let's go and see. Jin Huang, how is your research on this formation?" Judging After the treasure was here, Chen Ziyang also raised his energy.

This time I came here to seek money. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, it was barely smooth sailing. Now that the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang was within easy reach, Chen Ziyang couldn't help being so excited.

"This formation should simply be a formation for extracting mana. It has no protective effect, and it is unlikely to hide any mechanism. I think it is safer to pass through here." Jin Huang has already analyzed this formation. .

"GO! GO! GO! What are you waiting for, young and old, hurry up." Yang Lei patted the dirt on his knees and was the first to stand up.

Although Jin Huang said that the formation was not dangerous, several people were cautious when passing through the formation.Soon, Chen Ziyang came to the front of the sword.

Only by observing the sword closely can we see how extraordinary the sword is.The reason why the blade of this sword is dark is because it is not an ordinary wooden sword, but carved from lightning strike wood.

Judging from the color of the sword body, this sword is not made of ordinary lightning strike wood, at least it is more than a thousand years old, and it is a rare treasure.The small Taoist talismans gathered into unique patterns on the sword body, and the simple and simple atmosphere rushed to the face.

Looking at the wooden sword, Chen Ziyang's heart became excited.A mahogany sword made of thousand-year-old lightning strike wood left by Yuan Tiangang can also keep the formation above still in operation for thousands of years. It is very likely that this sword is the mahogany sword Yuan Tiangang used back then.

You don't need any gold, silver, or jade. If you just take out this sword, you can sell it for a jaw-dropping price.

But because he was afraid that other mechanisms would be activated after the sword was pulled out, Chen Ziyang just touched the sword carefully with his hand, wanting to feel the magic power contained in the sword, but when his fingers and the lightning strike After touching the wooden sword, he froze.

The mana contained in this sword was running out, which Chen Ziyang had never thought of before.In addition, what really surprised Chen Ziyang was that he felt a kind of mourning from the sword, as if the wooden sword was crying, because the life of the sword was about to end.

Chen Ziyang didn't know why he felt this way, but he was [-]% sure that the sword would shatter on its own in a short time.

After thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, this sword is made of wood. Even if it is made of thousands of years of lightning strike wood, it is still a piece of wood. No matter how much Yuan Tiangang wants to preserve this sword, it will be impossible do it.

Exposure to the air for thousands of years, even gold and iron objects will be oxidized very badly, let alone a piece of wood.

Perhaps it resonated with this sword, and Chen Ziyang felt a sense of sadness in his heart.Such a fetish is about to die, and as a Taoist descendant, he will naturally feel the same way.

"Er Yang, what are you doing? Why don't you hurry up, do you really want to take out your sword and drive the beads?" Yang Lei jumped around anxiously on the spot, urging him all the time.

Several people climbed up the small mound along the slope behind the formation. They lay their bodies on the hillside, poked their heads out carefully, and shone the flashlight beams at the back of the mound.

When the flashlight shone on that area, some golden and silvery white light reflected back and reflected in the eyes of several people.

"Gold? Silver? It's gone, it's gone, haha." Staring at these lights, Yang Lei danced happily, but within a few seconds, the smile on his face disappeared.

Although there was a thick layer of dust covering the objects that reflected the light, several people quickly saw the outlines of these objects. What no one expected was that the objects that reflected the light of the flashlight were not Not gold bricks and silver bars.

"Er Yang, this is the treasure you are looking for? This is the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang? Is this a joke? Did Yuan Tiangang play a big joke on us? We went through untold hardships and found it. Is it these things?"

Yang Lei's tone was mixed with tears, and he was really about to cry now.

After going through untold hardships, they arrived in the mountainous area of ​​Guizhou to look for Shangguan Kangning, and helped Shangguan Kangning catch two ground caterpillars. Afterwards, several people encountered black worms and escaped from the pursuit of bone-eating insects. Being eaten by those black and white Gu worms.

After going through so much, what the six people got was only some soldiers' armor, piled up like a mountain of armor.
