Chapter 49: The Victorious Soldier
Bang!
Ding Xing walked to the edge of the ruined palace and heard a sound of impact.
Zhang Mazi and other casual cultivators arrived here first and were casting magic to attack the broken pillars. The outer appearance of these pillars was earth and stone, but they were like paper and were broken as soon as they were hit.
But what is bizarre is that after the pillar collapsed, the fragments were shining by the moonlight and were immediately reorganized again, and soon returned to their previous appearance.
Ding Xing had never seen such a strange thing before and blurted out.
Seeing this, Fan Yaoshi saw that Ding Xing was just a freshman: "Brother Wu should be visiting Juanchen Mountain for the first time!"
He pointed to explain: "This ruined palace is actually part of the sword ban. As long as the moon is still there, it can be repeated."
From this point of view, the Remnant Palace should be a wisp of sword energy condensed, and this sword energy can sense the power of the moon and the magical powers, which has never been seen before.
Ding Xing was quite shocked.
But he still had some confusion: "The moon will never disappear, can the sword ban last forever?"
Fan Yaoshi said that he could not: "Moonlight is just to delay the collapse of the sword ban. In ancient times, 100,000 sword bans were densely distributed in the southern mountain. So far, 70 to 80% of them have been destroyed. Sooner or later, they will be extinct in Juanchen Mountain."
Once extinct, the history of the sect will be completely annihilated in the world.
However, Ding Xing came to explore at this time and still had the opportunity to peek at his inheritance.
He was also looking forward to it. It would be great if he could find a piece of swordsmanship in the Cancel Palace.
However, as soon as this thought came, he immediately turned into self-deprecating, thinking that even if there were indeed any remains of the sword scripture, he would definitely be searched by local monks. The chance of him meeting was lower than finding the Golden Lu Spirit Cellar.
Thinking of this, I saw the wandering cultivators stop brute force to destroy the palace.
I heard that Zhang Mazi shouted to this side: "Several, we tried all our skills just now, but we couldn't find any clues about the paper gate. You might as well give it a try."
"I'll come first!" Old Peng volunteered: "My ede is among the top five poisons. The poisonous smoke it vomits can penetrate the sword forbidden. If a scissor of the boy is really hidden in the hall, it should be smoked out!"
When he heard that he wanted to release the poison, the group cultivators retreated together.
Lao Peng did not retreat but advanced, and called the black-armored centipede to climb onto the foundation of the ruined hall. With a command, the rolling black smoke immediately spread out from the body of the prostitute, and in a moment it flooded the foundation.
However, after the black smoke gathered, it poisoned for half an hour, but the remnant palace did not change at all.
Old Pengdun shook his head, drove the Edge Demon to suck back the black smoke, and retreated: "I can't do it, you guys go and try it!"
Miss Huang was the second to take action. She was not as rough as Lao Peng. She stepped into the broken hall. She first stomped her feet a few times, and then circled back and forth along the foundation.
When she moved, she looked at the moon shadow in the sky from time to time, pinching the thumb of her left hand against her middle finger, as if she was casting a spell to find some direction.
The group cultivator didn't know what secret technique she was using, so he didn't ask or urge him, and watched quietly.
Ding Xing was also very involved in seeing this. This girl Huang is indeed very good at it.
She turned tea on the foundation for a while, and suddenly shook her sleeve and threw something out.
‘Gum!’ a few sounds.
It turned out to be a fat pale toad with a big mouth and exhaled its evil spirit.
Seeing this, the group cultivators smiled. Everyone had guessed Miss Huang's way to find the door.
Monsters like toad prefer to devour the essence of moonlight to temper the demon body, so they have the nickname "Moon Toad". They have extremely sensitive sensing of moonlight.
Miss Huang's toad had just swallowed four or five mouthfuls of demonic energy, and then showed the moonlight dim that had fallen on the surface of the foundation.
For countless years, sword forbidden areas in Juanchen Mountain have been maintained by the power of the moon and are absorbing the moonlight at all times. However, in this ruined hall, a paper door was sealed in the foundation. The paper door was not transformed by sword energy and could not absorb the moonlight.
After the toad showed the moon halo, there was a blank space in the center of the foundation, which was not covered by the moon halo. This blank space happened to be a door-shaped shape.
"I have locked the direction of the paper door!" Miss Huang was not very happy: "It's a pity that its true form is in a state of vanishing. It cannot break its invisible restriction. My evil tooth frog can't bite the door paper and cannot open the door!"
She looked around the group cultivators and said, "Do you have a way to show its true form?"
The casual cultivators all shook their heads.
Ding Xing had a "Paper Soldier under the Moon" in his hand. At this time, the moonlight was strong and its power could remain in full swing. He secretly wondered, the paper soldiers and the paper door were paper treasures, could they respond to each other?
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw Master Fan jumping to Miss Huang, "I have a way here! Use his way to fight back!"
Fan Yaoshi held a paper knife long from his finger in his palm, "This magic knife was not refined by me, but a treasure I found in the sword forbidden. I thought I could split the true appearance of the paper door."
When he opened his mouth, the paper knife flew out, surging heavily in the wind, and turned into arms length in a blink of an eye.
The knife was crossed over the paper door, raised it slightly, and then slashed it sharply, slashing the ground with the blade.
Click!
Accompanied by a long and narrow Mars, a gap in the air curtain was cracked on the ground. At first, the hole was only a few inches long, and expanded to about a foot in the blink of an eye, and spread rapidly in all directions.
After this thin air curtain collapsed, a rectangular floor-patterned paper door also completely revealed its true body.
The appearance of this paper door is similar to Zhang Mazi's description.
"It's it! It's this door!"
Zhang Mazi jumped over and looked down, and found three large holes cracked on the paper door. The hole was pitch black inside, as if it was a bottomless hole.
Zhang Mazi suddenly felt strange: "When I came yesterday, there was a wine jar hanging above the hole, and bookworms gathered under the hole. How could all disappear tonight?"
In fact, it is not difficult to guess. The biggest possibility is that the Taoist Jig has moved everything in the hole and then escaped, leaving only this broken door, allowing Zhang Mazi to come and pick up the gap.
His eyes turned around the group cultivator: "Everyone, you guys, have you said, has the boy cut out already slipped away?"
If a Taoist sniper escapes, they will be in vain.
But no one wants to return empty-handed.
At this time, Pharmacist Fan was still slashing the door with a knife. He seemed to have taken a fancy to the material of the paper door and wanted to dig it out from the ground. However, no matter how he casts the spell, he could not shake the paper door at all, nor could he cause the paper door to separate from the ground.
He looked at Miss Huang in the aftermath and saw that Miss Huang's evil tooth frog's talent was a paper-rewarding talent, but he still couldn't chew on the paper door.
Anyway, no one can take it away, so Pharmacist Fan will no longer worry.
He then put away his sword and shouted to the group cultivator: "There is obviously another barrier under this sect, but the barrier environment is difficult to detect. Anyone who tames the demon slaves, may as well send them to investigate!"
After this statement was finished, Lao Peng immediately drove the black-armored centipede into the paper gate, and Miss Huang's evil-toothed frog followed closely.
The casual cultivator was not slow either, and he released three demon slaves one after another.
In just a moment, Lao Peng was shouting: "Oh, my tear discovered a golden wine jar that was as big as a hill. Fellow Daoist Zhang is a genuine person. It is really possible that the stolen spiritual cellar in Jinluxianzhuang is here! Huh? Why is this wine jar not covered? There is something densely packed at the mouth of the jar..."
Miss Huang suddenly screamed: "That's a group of bookworms! Oh my God, so many insect monsters rushed out in one go, hurry up and withdraw all the demon slaves!"
She shouted, looking at Ding Xing and Pharmacist Fan: "The insect swarm may rush out of the paper door, you are ready to exterminate insects!"
Pharmacist Fan flew away quickly, and instantly left the area of the paper door, asking Miss Huang: "The insects are there, and the boy who cuts a knife should be there too! Have you found his hiding place?"
Miss Huang shook her head: "The swarm of insects is too dense, covering the sight of the demon slave. You must first clear the insects before you can search for a cut of the boy!"
At this moment, all the monks in this team were considering the "golden wine jar", the "worm swarm" and the "one-scissor boy".
Only Ding Xing was thinking about a magic weapon.
‘Strange, how could the axe fall under the paper door after several years?’
This magic weapon is Ding Xing's short axe. It was suppressed by the silver-horned giant ant using a golden wine jar three years ago. At this moment, he had a divine connection with Ding Xing again. Ding Xing had to wave his hand to take the short axe back, but he did not do so.
This axe has never been destroyed by the silver-horned giant ant, nor has it been snatched away by a Taoist scissor. Otherwise, Ding Xing would never be able to sense it. That means one thing, the axe is still in the golden wine jar. It has not been discovered since the silver-horned giant ant escaped from the Jinlu Xianzhuang three years ago.
