Origin - Chapter 372
[Chapter 353]
Li Bie naturally didn’t believe that Wu Zhongyuan would “borrow”, but this was much better than the worst outcome she imagined. She was most worried that Wu Zhongyuan would grab it. You must know that with Wu Zhongyuan’s current cultivation level, no matter what he wants to do , no one can stop him.
Seeing that Li don’t stand still, Wu Zhongyuan urged, “You go to the top of the mountain to the east and wait for me, don’t stay here.”
Li don’t hesitate to go.
“Would you like to come with me?” Wu Zhongyuan smirked.
Li Bie shook his head again and again, “I’m not going.”
“Then don’t stay here. If they find out, they think you and I are in the same group.” Wu Zhongyuan laughed.
Li didn’t think about it for a while, turned around and wanted to go, suddenly remembered something, and turned around, “You don’t want to wear the blue dragon armor to steal things.”
“Why?” Wu Zhongyuan asked casually, “I’m afraid I will defile the bird clan sacred relic? ”
No,” Li Bie shook his head again and again, “they will recognize you.”
“It’s alright, they’ve never seen the blue dragon armor.” Wu Zhongyuan said that this city covers at least a thousand mu, an area of It is too big. If you want to approach the stone building quietly, the safest way is to fall from the sky.
Li Bie didn’t say anything, and went away full of sorrow.
When Li Bie left, Wu Zhongyuan took advantage of the night to step on the ground, climbed rapidly, moved westward from a high place, landed at the top of the stone tower, slowed down a few feet away from the top of the stone tower, and then landed gently, climbing Climbed into the top floor with the eaves.
Since it was the beginning of the month, there was no moon in the sky, and the surroundings were very dark, so no one in the city found that anyone had invaded the stone building.
There are seven floors in this stone building, and the top and bottom are generally thick. After entering the top floor, Wu Zhongyuan was dumbfounded. He thought that there were either wooden shelves or baskets on the ground, but he never thought that the top floor was full of jars. There are hundreds of jars of different sizes and shapes. Some of these jars are open, some are sealed, and some are semi-sealed, only covered with wooden lids.
I opened one at random, and a slightly fishy greasy smell came out. The jar should be some kind of animal oil, which is probably the Jiao oil that the old blind man said. There are also many rope-like things soaked in the Jiao oil
. Not knowing the nature of these oils, Wu Zhongyuan didn’t start directly. Instead, he smashed the wooden cover and picked out a piece of wood to look closely. The color was gray and white, and it was disk-shaped.
The practice of soaking dragon tendons in Jiao oil is actually quite correct. Dragon tendons will lose their elasticity if they are completely dried. If they are soaked in water for a long time, dragon tendons will rot. Soaking in oil can not only prevent corrosion but also maintain its elasticity.
The most direct way to determine whether the dragon tendon is suitable is to pull it to determine whether it can withstand enough force.
The oil-soaked dragon tendon slipped and didn’t hold back, so I couldn’t use my strength. After thinking about it, the wooden bar on the side was broken, and the two ends of the dragon tendon were entangled, grasped and fixed, and pulled vigorously.
Facts have proved that the things soaked in these jars are indeed dragon tendons, whose toughness is far superior to that of ordinary bowstrings, and the elasticity is very good.
If you just pull hard, no matter how hard you use, the dragon tendon will not break, but if you use spiritual energy, it will not work, and the dragon tendon will also break.
There is more than one dragon tendon soaked in each jar, and one is broken, and the rest do not need to be tried, but try the ones in other jars.
After tearing off a few pieces,
Wu Zhongyuan felt the pattern. The materials of these jars are not the same. Some are made of clay, some are made of metal, and some are made of stone. The least tough are the pottery jars, followed by the metal jars, and the best ones are the dragon tendons soaked in the stone jars.
However, even the dragon tendons in the stone altar can’t stand his full-strength bowing. They can still be torn off even when they are filled with purple qi and pulled with all their strength. In fact, this kind of toughness is already very good. Most of the bows and arrows used by masters are not as good as this.
If there is no iron tree as the bow body, the bowstring of this material is sufficient, but the problem is that his bow body is made of a rare iron tree, which is a bit of a waste of time to use this kind of bowstring, and it is impossible to exert the maximum power of the bow and arrow.
He didn’t find any satisfaction from the top floor, so Wu Zhongyuan went to the next floor. The next floor was no longer a jar. The hanging skins were stretched skins, most of which were fish skins, and the rest were snake skins. He couldn’t tell the difference. It is not his goal to find out whether these skins belong to snakes or flood dragons, so he continues to walk down.
The layers below store the stretched leather. Because it has been tanned before, the smell is very pungent, even if it is not invading, it will feel stuffy and nauseating after a long time.
At this time, there were not so many anti-theft facilities. The most important thing was that there were very few thieves at this time, and the barbarians could not imagine that anyone would come to steal things. It was a huge stone building, and there were only two clansmen guarding the entrance, and there was only one person in the tower. nor.
Wu Zhongyuan went down from the top floor to the bottom floor, and then went back to the top floor from the bottom floor. He couldn’t find a bowstring that could be used. Wu Zhongyuan was a little frustrated. It’s a good habit, it’s the fate of cheap roots. Once a person starts to make do with it, it’s completely over, completely useless. If you can’t eat mutton, you can make do with pork. If you can’t afford a big house, you can make do with a small one. If you are not satisfied with your partner, you can make do with a general one and lower the standard step by step.
As the saying goes, the pattern comes from persistence, and the taste comes from being picky. No matter what you do, you must stick to your original intention, maintain your own pattern, and make unremitting efforts to get what you really want. You must not lower the standard because the goal is difficult.
Previously, the old blind man had told him where the ancestral tomb of the Yi people was located in the cave north of the city, but Wu Zhongyuan did not go directly north. Armor to protect his body, the strong bows and crossbows with bright arrows in the city still make him very jealous. The strength of these big guys must be amazing.
The dead and the living cannot live together. The cave where the ancestral tombs of the Yi people are located is located outside the city. The role of human beings is only to prevent wild beasts from entering the cave, not to prevent enemies from invading. After all, ancestral tombs and altars are not the same nature, and ancestral tombs are only places for the coffins of ancestors.
Since the cave has no door, the faint purple light emitted from the cave can be seen from a distance. All colors in nature are made up of three colors, red, yellow, and blue. The same is true for purple, which is made up of red and blue. Colors, red is a warm color, and blue is a cool color. The purple mixed with these two colors has both cool and warm colors, giving people a dignified and solemn feeling of majesty.
There are trees around the cave. Wu Zhongyuan observed the scene in the cave from a distance through the shelter of the trees. The cave was much larger than he imagined, and there were many coffins densely placed inside. , The coffins used after death are also larger than ordinary people. These coffins are made of wood. They may have been soaked in grease before, and they remain intact after being parked for many years.
There is a man-made stone platform in the middle of the cave. The stone platform has nine floors. The top floor is about the size of an Eight Immortals Table. The oil lamp that emits a faint purple light is at the highest point of the stone platform.
It is said to be an oil lamp, but it is very different from ordinary lamps. The lamp base is a three-legged bronze tripod. It is not very big, and its diameter may be less than fifty centimeters. There is a small round hole in the center from which the wick protrudes, and the burning produces a purple flame. The biggest strange thing about this oil lamp is that the light emitted by the wick when it burns is like a claw with its head held high, wanting to climb the clouds. The little dragon that was lifted into the air, with the burning of the wick, the little dragon kept probing upwards, but it was limited by the wick and could not escape from the oil lamp.
There is a saying about the lamp in the tomb. It is called the Eternal Light. Its function is to guide and illuminate the way for the ancestors in the dark. To extinguish the Eternal Light is equivalent to digging the ancestral grave. If you know that he did it, they will definitely Desperately seeking revenge.
According to his previous thoughts, he just stole some lamp oil, and did not want to steal the oil lamp, but this bronze oil lamp is covered with a layer of white metal, and the joints seem to be fused together, so it is impossible to steal the lamp oil at all. Only the oil lamp can be stolen.
In addition to worrying, Wu Zhongyuan still has some doubts. It is impossible to add lamp oil to the oil lamp of this style in the later stage. Could it be that the oil lamp has never been added after it was lit?
Although he had concerns, Wu Zhongyuan did not back down. At this time, the two guards of the mausoleum were sitting outside the entrance of the cave and had to wait for them to leave before starting work. Although he had enough reasons for stealing, it did not affect the nature of the matter, saving the world and doing good deeds. While accumulating virtue, he is also committing sins due to lack of virtue. It is best not to let people see it.
He was lucky. It didn’t take long for the two guards to get up and relieve themselves. Naturally, they couldn’t urinate from the hole, but went east.
When the two left, Wu Zhongyuan immediately started, urging Qinglongjia to rush in, get on the stone platform, and blow when he inhaled.
Once blown, it will not die.
Blow again, it will not die.
In a hurry, I patted it with my hands, and my palms joined together, and the light disappeared, but when my hands were separated, the oil lamp came on again.
The brief disappearance of the purple light alarmed the mausoleum guards outside the cave. At this time, the two of them were shouting outside. Although the incident was strange, Wu Zhongyuan didn’t think about it. He picked up the oil lamp with one hand, covered the wick with the other, and turned around. run.
He wore the blue dragon armor, and his hands were protected by armor plates, so he couldn’t feel the heat of the lamp and the wick, and when he came out of the cave, no matter how loose his right hand was, the lamp would shine again.
The eyes of the mausoleum guardian had just adjusted to the darkness, but the light suddenly changed again. The two of them couldn’t adapt immediately, so they tilted their heads and closed their eyes. Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to step into the air, grab the wick and swept eastward…
