Zhou Lin - Chapter 172 Returning with a Full Load
After falsely winning in the battle of wits, Meng Yuanhan and the Siji headed towards the depths of the cave under the leadership of Jin Luoshi.
Along the way, various formations, traps, mysterious realms… are everywhere. Some things are so dangerous that even the Four Evils would frown upon seeing them.
For example, behind a certain inconspicuous rock pillar, there is a soul-removing medicine bowl. If you don’t follow the hidden formation route on the ground when passing by, it will be triggered.
The soul-removing potion bowl will extract the earth soul from the three souls of the triggerer. If the person whose soul is taken away has a clear conscience, integrity and kindness, then it will be fine. The earth soul will return to the body soon, and at most it will produce I feel a little dizzy; but if the person whose soul was stolen is not a good person… his earthly soul will receive the retribution of karma on the spot, and then the karmic fire will burn his body, and his whole person will be burned from the soul level to powder, and finally turn into that medicine The dregs of medicine in the bowl.
Of course, this is for people. For monsters with incomplete three souls and seven souls like the Siji and Jinluoshi, once the soul-removing medicine bowl is triggered, the entire spiritual body will be taken away and examined .
It can be said that without Jin Luoshi leading the way, let alone the Four Evils… Even if a few ancient demons or a few mad-level ability users came today, they would never be able to complete this section leading to the secret realm of the Heavenly Master. road.
While following Jin Luoshi, Meng Zhenhan was secretly thankful in his heart: Fortunately, I didn’t kill him forcefully just now, otherwise all five of us would have been buried here.
In this way, the group walked for more than half an hour, passed through countless winding paths and forks, and avoided countless traps. Only then did they arrive at the exit at the other end of the cave, which can also be said to be… The real entrance to the Celestial Master’s secret realm.
The entrance is a moon cave door. This kind of door is usually only seen in courtyards. It is indeed a bit inconsistent to appear here.
After passing through, there is a landscape outside. The mountains are green mountains, the water is green water, and there is a thatched cottage close to the mountains and rivers.
At this time, in this space, the sun was still shining brightly in the sky, which obviously did not match the time in the outside world, but it actually didn’t matter.
Jin Luoshi led the way and led the five people to the door of the thatched cottage. He stopped and turned around and said: On the trail, according to the rules, when we get here… I have to ask you a few questions.
Meng Zhenhan understood as soon as he heard that this was another test, and this seemingly simple question and answer test was perhaps the most troublesome. Once he said something wrong, it was very likely that all the previous efforts would be wasted and all the efforts would be in vain.
Yeah. After thinking quickly for two seconds, Meng Zhenhan responded in a deep voice, You can ask.
The question was left by Tianshi Zhang. Jin Luoshi just relayed it, so he didn’t need to think too much and blurted out: When you come here today, are you seeking ‘Tao’ or ‘Treasure’?
Treasure. Meng Zhenhan answered without thinking.
He did not say Tao, nor did he use a seemingly clever and smooth answer like Tao is treasure, because he also understood that although it was Jin Luoshi who was asking him questions now, these questions must have been left by Zhang Tianshi. With the wisdom of the Heavenly Master, he has already calculated the situation of each answer and taught Jin Luoshi how to deal with it…
Therefore, at this time, it is best not to make false claims and speak the truth.
Okay. Jin Luoshi said, Since you’re here and you’re here to ask for a treasure, I definitely can’t let you go back empty-handed… He paused and glanced at the door of the thatched cottage, But this There are hundreds of magic weapons inside, and it won’t work for you to take them all. How many do you think…are you suitable for taking?”
This time, Meng Zhenhan thought for a moment, then raised his hand, stretched out three fingers, and replied: Three.
Oh? Three pieces, right? Jin Luoshi raised his eyebrows.
No. Unexpectedly, Meng Zhenhan corrected, It’s 30%.
What? Jin Luo was shocked, You mean you want to take away three out of every ten items?
Exactly. Meng Zhenhan replied.
Ha! Hahahaha… After a brief moment of surprise, Jin Luoshi laughed loudly, Okay! Okay, okay… He nodded, raised his arm across his face, and made a please gesture to Meng Yanhan. , Then please.
When he finished speaking, Meng Zhenhan had already unceremoniously pushed open the wooden door of the thatched cottage and entered the house.
As soon as Meng Zhenhan entered with his front foot, Jin Luoshi thrust his back foot in front of the four murderers: Sorry, he can only go in alone.
He had just finished speaking when the door behind him was automatically closed by an invisible force.
Seeing this formation, Fang Xiangqi snorted coldly and said with a smile: I said…if he died inside, we should know about it, right? I don’t want to waste time here.
Don’t worry, if he dies, the chimney on top will smoke. Jin Luoshi said, pointing to the roof behind him without looking back.
Hearing this, Emperor Zhen, the most resourceful among the four murderers, opened his mouth to test again: Anyway, he has already gone in. Can you tell us how many answers there are to the ‘question’ just now, and what are the answers to each answer? What’s the result?
It’s okay to tell you. Unexpectedly, Jin Luoshi didn’t hide it at all, but replied unhurriedly, First of all, if the person who answered the question told a lie, such as…wanted to ask for a magic weapon, But he says that he is seeking the Tao… Then everything he finds after entering will also be false. He will take those false things, walk out of a false door, go to a false world, and experience a whole period of false, A life that was arranged, and finally, ‘before death’, I suddenly woke up from a dream and returned to this thatched cottage, walking out of the real door empty-handed.
Ha… no wonder it’s ‘it’s okay to tell us’… Hearing this, Chi Owl smiled, Even if we leak all your questions and answers, those who know can only tell you the truth.
Of course. Jin Luoshi said, he paused for a few more seconds, and then continued with what he just said, Secondly… if you say you want a ‘treasure’, you have to ask him how many pieces he wants… exactly how many pieces. There is no definite number of appropriateness. It depends on the person’s heart and capacity. How many pieces can be accommodated? For some people, a hundred pieces is not too much, and for some people, two pieces is considered an overstep.
The one who wants more…is ‘greedy’. A greedy person will not be able to walk out after taking the things. He will only feel that the magic weapon on his back is extremely heavy. The few steps from the back room of the thatched cottage to the door will take him a lifetime. You can’t finish walking, you have to give up your greedy amount in order to be able to walk.
And what is missing… is ‘cowardice’. A cowardly person can come out with a magic weapon, but the magic weapon will not be 100% effective in his hands unless he can give up his ‘cowardice’ one day.
When he said this, Fang Xiangqi laughed dryly: Ha! Needless to say, the man surnamed Meng is definitely greedy. With his money, he still ‘takes 30%’? I think it will be good if he can come up with three or five items.
Crunch——
As soon as Fang Xiangqi finished speaking, the door of the thatched cottage opened from the inside.
Meng Zhenhan seemed to have taken nothing and came out with empty hands.
No way… Fang Xiangqi looked at him, Although I don’t think highly of you, you won’t be able to take out nothing, right?
What are you talking about? Meng Zhenhan didn’t seem to understand what he said, Can’t you bring out anything? I’ve got 30% of it.
Ah? Fang Xiangqi looked confused, looked at it up and down, and then asked, Where are the things?
Meng Zhenhan immediately turned his hand, and like magic, he had a small bag of tips in his hand: Of course it’s put into this Ruyi Qiankun bag. Do you want me to carry it out? There are hundreds of them, Hippo. I can’t even carry it.”
After he finished speaking confidently, he turned around and patted the stunned Jin Luoshi who was standing next to him on the shoulder with a very social gesture: Guardian Jin, please lead the way again and take us out.
…………
Until Meng Chuanhan and the others were sent to the place where they first met him and the passage out was reopened, Jin Luoshi still hadn’t recovered from the feeling of being robbed.
However, rules are rules. Back then, the Heavenly Master also said that these magic weapons can only be obtained by those who are capable. Since Meng Zhenhan can get it, Jin Luoshi is also convinced.
After the two sides said goodbye, Meng Zhenhan took the four murderers on their way home.
When walking in the long and narrow passage out of the cave, Xiao Meng was already in a very happy and relaxed mood. After all, the task delivered by the organization had been completed, and the process was not too strenuous.
Naturally, Fang Xiangqi’s brothers and sisters were not dissatisfied. He did not take any action at all and easily helped the narrator. This was a good thing.
However, some doubts arose in Di Zun’s heart. When she was about to walk out of the cave, she finally couldn’t help it. Taking advantage of the good atmosphere of the chat, she changed the subject and said: There is something I still don’t want to do. Very understandable.
Oh? What’s going on? Fang Xiangqi asked.
I have heard about the narrator’s layout and calculations. He usually does not make meaningless arrangements… Emperor Zhu replied thoughtfully, But if you look at today’s trip, assuming it is Meng Xiaodao. Although it cannot be said to be a sure thing, at least there will be no danger of life. At most, they will be stopped at Jinluoshina Pass and return without success… To take a step back, the reverse cross has already sent three people. Brother, you are here to back you up, why is there any need to involve the three of us?
Hmm… That makes sense. Before Fang Xiangqi answered, Meng Zhenhan mused, We already have one layer of insurance, why do we need to add three layers?
As they were talking, they just walked out of the cave.
At this moment, suddenly!
In the dark night, the rays are shining brightly, the Taoist energy is everywhere, and the sound is loud.
By the time the five of them reacted, they were already trapped in a Heavenly and Earthly Fierce Golden Light Soul Falling Array.
Sigh… this is life. Fang Xiangqi saw this and continued to complain, All the doubts in life will eventually be answered after being ‘severely encountered’ again and again.
Before he could finish his groaning, at least thirty figures had appeared in the surrounding mountains and forests, and each one of them clearly had spiritual energy coming out of them.
Among them, the person with the strongest aura was standing closest to them. He was either someone else, or the old gatekeeper they had met in the scenic spot before, or in other words – Shan Han, the current head of Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain. loose.
