Jie Yuhua couldn't help but urge him from behind: "Hurry up, no matter how slow you are, all the good things will be taken away."
Ye Ming smiled slightly: "Don't worry if you can't eat hot tofu." As he said that, he released some ants.
Under his control, these ants flew out one by one, flying in all directions like streaks of black smoke.
It turns out that through these puppet ants, Ye Ming can sense changes in the nearby environment, making it easier to find treasures.
In less than a quarter of an hour, these puppet ants have spread throughout the entire area. Ye Ming connects to the soul through the crystal ball and can observe the situation in many locations.
He saw that the five people were still looking for the treasure aimlessly, but found nothing.
After searching for a moment, he suddenly pulled the Jieyuhua and said: "Go forward one thousand five hundred steps, let's go."
The two walked quickly, and after walking 1,500 steps, they saw a box lying crooked on the ground. It was black, not big, but beautifully decorated on the outside. Even after countless years of wind and damage, it was still brilliant and magnificent. .
Ye Ming picked up the box and opened it, and saw a pair of rings inside. One ring was engraved with flames, and the other was engraved with snowflakes.
The ring was very heavy, and Ye Ming could feel the powerful mana fluctuations on it. He smiled and said, "It is indeed a treasure."
Jie Yuhua blinked: "Junior brother, this treasure belongs to you, can you also help me find something?"
Ye Ming smiled, pointed to a cabinet next to him, and said, "Open it and take a look."
This cabinet, half rotten, also fell to the ground, its surface rotted away. Jie Yuhua kicked the banner to pieces, and a piece of purple silk fell from it, like a woman's scarf.
She took the scarf in her hand and said in surprise: "This is a magic weapon, it's very good."
Ye Ming smiled: "It belongs to senior sister."
He continued to search, and without much effort, he discovered something in a large hall ahead. The two hurried over, but as soon as they arrived, the five people also came over.
Five cardinal disciples were wandering around the hall, and one of them said to Ye Ming: "This place belongs to us, please change it."
Ye Ming felt unhappy, but since he was a disciple of the Cardinal, he didn't want to argue, so he walked to another direction without saying a word.
Jie Yuhua simply followed him, but at this moment, someone touched the mechanism, the earth shook, and the whole hall suddenly became dark. Then, Ye Ming heard the sound of the wall sinking. His body rose first, then fell, and was still moving left and right.
"What's going on?" He was surprised. When he could see things, he found that he was already in an underground secret passage. Jie Yuhua had already disappeared.
"I don't know what idiot messed up the mechanism." He cursed and tried to communicate with the ants. Fortunately, some ants were also in the tunnel, and he could get some rough ideas.
He simply released some more puppet ants to further observe the tunnel.
It's very dark in the tunnel, but for practitioners, they can still see roughly. He sat there and did not move for half an hour, while the puppet ants he released had already flown far away and spread all over the dense tunnel network. In this way, Ye Ming has a clear view of the entire tunnel.
The tunnel was very complicated, like a maze, and the five people were running around in the tunnel like headless flies. But Jie Yuhua was very calm, she was always looking for an exit.
Ye Ming tried to observe with his spiritual thoughts, but he found that his spiritual thoughts could not extend too far in the tunnel and seemed to be blocked.
Fortunately, he has puppet ants and has a grasp of the overall situation. He soon discovered that somewhere in the tunnel, there was a passage going downwards. A group of puppet ants rushed in, and then saw a large space and a huge portal.
This portal is several thousand meters high, made of ancient bronze, and weighs hundreds of millions of kilograms. The bronze door is engraved with spells and is connected with the runes on the entire earth. It seems that it is not easy to enter.
Ye Ming found the way and immediately came to the entrance as quickly as possible, entered the underground, and arrived in front of the huge bronze door.
There is a complex restriction on the bronze door. Only by breaking the restriction can the door be opened. More importantly, the door is too heavy. Even if the restriction is broken, he cannot open the door with his ability.
After thinking for a moment, he gave up breaking the restriction and instead released all the puppet ants. He didn't know much about this puppet ant yet, so now was the time to give it a try.
The puppet ants all crawled under the bronze gate and formed a large formation on their own. Immediately after the formation appeared, sparks flashed out, eventually forming a large fire that burned on the bronze gate.
It turned out that the puppet ants formed a fire formation, and Ye Ming wanted to use this to melt the bronze door.
The fire burned for a quarter of an hour, but the bronze door suffered no damage at all, but was burned red. He knew that this method was useless.
Ye Ming did not give up, and ordered the puppet ants to get in through the gap in the bronze door. The ants were very small, and they finally found a few small cracks, so a few got in.
The environment on the other side of the gate is very different from the outside. There are twelve statues standing inside, each of them lifelike and showing a powerful momentum.
statue? Who are they
Ye Ming thought for a while, then sent part of his mana into a puppet ant, thereby controlling the ant. After he merges with the Dharma Realm, his magic power can escape from the body and become a Dharma Body. Now, this ant carries his Dharmakaya.
After this ant crawled in, the dharma body rushed out of the body and turned into Ye Ming. Curious, he walked up and down in front of each statue.
Then he discovered that each statue held a fragment of stone in its hand. These fragments were as big as a basin.
He was curious and took off all the pieces from the statue in turn. He discovered that these fragments were originally supposed to be one. So, he pieced the pieces together, piece by piece. Finally, a large seal was formed, which was full of bird-shaped characters and runes of flowers, birds, and fish.
However, this big seal is missing a corner after all and is not perfect.
Ye Ming shook his head, thinking that if one piece of the big seal was missing, he might not be able to show the full picture and power. He had no regrets and put all the stones into the ring first.
Only now did he observe these statues carefully. These twelve statues, three women and nine men, the women are beautiful and the men are majestic. They all have the temperament of ancient people.
Ye Ming turned around and found that the eyes of these twelve statues seemed to be some kind of gems. He jumped on the tall statue and took a closer look. It was indeed a gem, but he didn't know what kind it was.
Since it was a gem, of course he couldn't let it go, so he put the gem into the ring. This space ring can be large or small, and has endless variations. If it were not so, it would not be brought here.
Fortunately, he had it, otherwise Ye Ming really wouldn't be able to take things out. He immediately took out the Five Elements Sword and dug out the eyes of the statue one by one, obtaining a total of twenty-four gems.
These gems are divided into six types, namely blue, purple, yellow, red, white, and black, with four of each color.
Putting away the gems, Ye Ming continued to hunt for treasures. He found that there was a hole under the base of each statue, which was blocked by stone balls.
He took away one of the stone balls, reached inside, and unexpectedly grabbed a handful of purple-gold sand, which was extremely heavy and extremely lubricated.
He went to dig under other bases and found four different colors of sand. The five colors correspond to the colors of the five elements.
When he looked again, there was nothing else in the room. He was disappointed and felt that there was no big gain. After turning around again, he collected the Dharmakaya and returned to his original body.
When Ye Ming walked out of the underground and returned to the tunnel, he found Jie Yuhua and asked her, "Are you okay?"
Jie Yuhua smiled and said, "I knew you would come to save me."
Ye Ming grabbed her and said, "I know the exit, let's go."
Soon, the two came out of the tunnel and returned to the ground. However, from above, the main hall can no longer be seen, only a huge high platform with runes engraved on it. This high platform is made of nine layers of huge stones and looks like an altar.
Ye Ming glanced at it from a distance and was about to say something when he suddenly felt the large seal made of gravel in the ring vibrate slightly. His heart moved, and he quickly rushed up to the high platform. In the center, in the groove of a piece of jade, he found the last piece of mineral, which was the missing corner.
He picked up the pieces and threw them directly into the ring.
The fragments enter and merge with other fragments on their own to form a complete seal. The cracks and gaps in the big seal slowly disappeared, turning into a flawless seal.
After the big seal was formed, a vast power was revealed, causing the entire altar to suddenly become brighter, as if there was a power slowly accumulating.
Ye Ming subconsciously took out the big seal, raised his hands, and placed it on his head.
"Crack!"
There was a thunder in the void, and a beam of light fell from the sky and hit the big seal. At the same time, a mysterious force rushed into Ye Ming's soul, and formed a small seal in his soul, which was closely related to the big seal.
After the light beam disappeared, Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and then put away the big seal again. He felt that apart from the addition of a small seal in the soul, there didn't seem to be much change.
At this time, Jie Yuhua rushed up and asked in surprise: "What happened just now?"
Ye Ming scratched his head: "I don't know, suddenly a beam of light came down. It's almost time, let's go out."
Ye Ming used the puppet ants to figure out the situation here. There will be nothing else, and staying here is a waste of time.
So, he took Jie Yuhua with him, and the two of them returned along the original route.
When they appeared outside the ruins of the hall, the five people had not come out yet. Mr. Zhong Xuan had been waiting outside. Seeing the two people coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is there anything gained?"
Jie Yuhua smiled bitterly and spread her hands, indicating that she had gained nothing.
Ye Ming took out the five-color sand and the gems. Of course, he was cautious and only showed twelve gems, keeping half of them secretly.
Zhong Xuanlao was shocked. He grabbed a handful of sand and said, "This is the Five Elements Divine Sand. It is very precious."
Then he looked at the gem again, his expression changed, and he said to Ye Ming: "Where did you find this gem?"
Ye Ming blinked: "It's the eyes of the statue, I dug them out."
Mr. Zhong Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Is there only twelve?"
Ye Ming's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he nodded: "Yes."
