There are strange things everywhere here, if it was only him, Pang Jian would have moved forward without saying a word, but there was still a burden beside him.
Although Xi Ping claimed to be an "innate spiritual bone", having a cultivation level does not mean being capable.
In the eyes of the old people walking in the world, the congenital spirit bone that has been started for half a year is almost like a baby holding a firecracker. If something happens, it will be considered calm if it does not collapse itself.
However, before he could come to the conclusion of his hesitation, Xi Ping saw that he was not moving, and directly wanted to pass him and go forward.
As soon as Pang Jian stretched out his hand to squeeze him back, he glared at him with a tiger's face: Do what you can!
Hiding in the wall is not necessarily safe. Pang Jian is not the only monk in the world who can use various means to penetrate the wall. Even King Zhuang's south study room has an inscription prohibiting passing through, let alone a place where mysterious spirit stones are hidden? Pang Jian nodded to Xi Ping warningly, and walked forward by himself.
Sure enough, as the aura became abundant enough to soak the stone, the guards of the Shu Kingdom outside became more and more strict, and dense inscriptions blocked them.
Seen from the wall, the inscription is like light coming from the other end of the wall, going deep into the wall without attenuation, forming a grating.
There is no way to destroy the inscriptions, because the words can't be seen from the side.
This way does not work. You have to drill through, unless you can shrink the ground into beans.
Pang Jianxin said: It's good that Bering is here.
Outside are all sentry posts of the Kingdom of Shu, and they can't get through.
Xi Ping glanced at Pang Jian: Brother, what magic weapon is in your pocket, don't hide it.
Pang Jian really had it. After thinking about it, he took out a Karma Beast the size of a thumb from his pocket that had everything.
The karma beasts that usually accompany the Tianji Pavilion on business travel across the paper and walls like paintings. Now that Xi Ping and the others are inside the wall, the karma beasts become three-dimensional.
It was the first time Xi Ping saw a three-dimensional living karma beast, and seeing that big-eyed lamp with rounder buttocks than his head, he couldn't help wanting to touch it.
Unexpectedly, Karma Beast recognized him, and when he saw him committing an offense, he jumped up and wanted to give him a bite. Pang Jian quickly pinched the back of the holy beast's neck, and at the same time slapped Xi Ping's paw away, separating the two.
Xi Ping was very sorry, and gestured: "Why is it this familiar beast that holds a grudge?"
Pang Jian rolled his eyes: All the causal beasts in the world are clones of a holy beast. You have no chance to be a human again. Be careful when you go to Tianji Pavilion in the future.
He stretched out his hand to brush the eyes of Karma Beast, and said something silently. Xi Ping saw that Pang Jian's pupils had turned into animal pupils exactly like the holy beast.
Then Pang Jian took out a bizhang stone and gave it to Karma Beast. The little holy beast picked up the stone and wagged its tail at him, and nimbly slipped through the gap in the inscription.
Xi Ping observed Pang Jian's eyes carefully, and saw the reflections of the changing inscriptions constantly flashing in his beast pupils, so he knew that Senior Brother Pang could use the eyes of the Karma Beast to look forward.
Pang Jian's natal bow is called "Breaking Barriers". People can escape through walls and see all obstacles as nothing. As soon as he knocked on the wall, he knew if there was a surge of spiritual energy on the other side... All his supernatural powers seemed to fit the word "breaking barriers".
The master said that the spiritual bones he cultivated are often in harmony with the heart of the Tao. Whether Brother Pang is using a longbow or a broadsword, he has an indomitable attitude of not disturbing all demons.
Xi Ping was different, his spiritual bone was picked up, and the original owner was bitter and bitter, an old madman who loved to smash himself regularly... There is no match anymore, and I don’t know if there will be a chance to change it in the future.
Just as he was thinking wildly, Pang Jian suddenly squinted his eyes subconsciously, and the animal pupils suddenly shrank as if they were swept by a strong light.
The Karma Beast has passed through the inscription area!
Xi Ping poked Pang Jian: What did you see
Pang Jian pondered for a moment, and wrote the word "Lingshi" on the back of his hand.
The fluorescence of the Lingshi shrank the pupils of Karma Beast, how much is this
Pang Jian hesitated for a while, then shook his head—he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Behind those thick inscription protection is an astonishingly large warehouse. There are whole pieces of Bailing stacked like bricks on a wall, and the end cannot be seen at a glance. If you meet someone like General Zhi who likes to settle accounts, after witnessing this situation, you may be able to settle the matter on the spot.
The processing of sapphire is much more sloppy, not to mention the bizhang, which is piled up randomly, and the stone snow on it is not cleaned.
Miners will never be so perfunctory when dealing with spiritual stones. All major spiritual mines are very strict in monitoring the mining of spiritual stones. —Besides, someone came to collect Shi Xue, and the mine usually turned a blind eye to it. Shi Xue was the miner's own income, and no one would make trouble with the money.
So where did these spirit stones come from
At this time, Karma Beast suddenly poked its head, as if it sensed something, it ran again.
The little Karma Beast, with countless priceless spirit stones on its head, burrowed around in the middle of the inscriptions on fire protection with constant temperature and humidity. After running for a mile, it stopped.
There is a big pit there, the ground is sunken for a hundred feet, the bottom of the pit is a neat circle with a diameter of tens of feet, it is polished very smooth, it is obviously artificially built.
In addition to being jealous of evil, Karma Beast is also very sensitive to the magic circle because it often shuttles between the walls of books and paintings.
This is an invisible... magic circle
Pang Jian frowned—the magic circle is driven by spirit stones. Putting the magic circle in the spirit stone warehouse is equivalent to putting a tinder box in an oil tank and gunpowder barrel. Generally speaking, the important place of the spiritual warehouse cannot have anything except a few specific inscriptions.
This fire... what is this magic circle for
The little Karma Beast ran down the edge of the pit, made a big circle at the bottom of the pit cautiously, carefully avoiding something from time to time, then it seemed to have figured out the invisible magic circle, measured its steps and walked to the center of the circle, and put Bi Zhang spat it out.
The Karma Beast walks on the ground, and the jade seal it spits out is equivalent to being directly embedded in the ground, and the magic circle is activated immediately.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of light that was too fast for both the man and the beast to react pierced through Karma Beast's body, and Karma Beast disappeared in place.
Pang Jian's vision froze, but then, Karma Beast was released again—it had just been involved in a teleportation circle.
Pang Jian only had time to take a look when the causal beast rushed out of the magic circle, and the connection between him and the holy beast was broken due to the distance, and the beast's eyes suddenly changed back to human eyes, and Pang Jian shook his whole body.
Xi Ping had never seen such an expression on his brother Pang's face. There were inexplicable things mixed in the daze, and for a moment, he felt that Pang Jian's soul was flying away!
But before he could ask, Xi Ping's inspiration suddenly called the police, wondering if it was because the little causal beast touched the magic circle in the warehouse, the inscription in front of them was alarmed, and the inscription surged.
The guard at the warehouse door was suddenly alert, and across a wall, they turned to the direction where the two were hiding.
Xi Ping grabbed Pang Jian and ran away.
A tidal wave of blue light surged from the inscription on the back, chasing after it violently, pointing out the thief's location for the guard.
The guards gathered across a thin wall, throwing spells and artifacts at the wall as if they didn't want money.
Pang Jian didn't know what kind of wild fox had taken his soul out just now, and he was completely dragged away by him. It was the first time Xi Ping experienced such a scene. Seeing the guards approaching, he instinctively ran into the wall, not noticing that something tripped under his feet—a stone hidden in the stone wall had inscriptions carved on it, and it pulled him down like a vine. The two were stuck in place.
Almost at the same time, a "rumbling" sound came from the wall, and the sound quickly changed from low to high, as if a Tengyun Jiao was approaching. Xi Ping turned his head into the wall, and saw a huge black shadow with a height of one foot rolling towards them.
The corner of his eye twitched, and his feet were tied up, unable to move an inch!
Xi Ping quickly turned over his palms and found the seal of total time. Then he stretched his arms, hooked his wrists back, followed the direction that the black shadow hit, and stamped himself in the middle of the stone wall - when he encountered the first Nanshu guard, he left such a hole in the wall A stamp, just in case.
Right now!
When the two seals were put together, the black shadow just approached - it was a big stone statue of a man with a head and a scorpion body, with a ferocious face on it, rampaging in the wall.
A clear sound of bone breaking brought Pang Jian back to his senses. He turned his head in shock, and saw that Xi Ping's hand, which had not been able to withdraw in time, was crushed to pieces by the stone statue from the wrist down.
Afterwards, the stone statue bumped into the spirit seal and was directly sent to another seal.
That young master really didn't say a word!
Pang Jian's hand was almost an afterimage, and he threw out a handful of talismans, briefly suppressing the inscription on the ground, then picked up Xi Ping to escape, and flew past in the direction of the scorpion-headed statue.
At this time, the three o'clock just arrived, the spell on Xi Ping's body suddenly failed, and he entered the turtle's breath state which he could neither see nor hear, and was dragged by Pang Jian to shuttle underground. station border.
Xi Ping got out of the ground, staggered, and fell on Pang Jian, his back was soaked in cold sweat.
Pang Jian stuffed a spirit stone into his mouth, picked up the man with one hand, flipped his palm and hit the "stealth talisman" on the two of them, and flew back to the Dawan official ship like a swallow, and landed directly on the third floor. Pass through the wall.
Before he settled down, a figure rushed over, snatched Xi Ping and knocked Pang Jian away.
Xi Yue usually looks like a handsome young man, but at this time, anger appeared on his face, and he suddenly showed a seductive look, his fangs were about to pierce his lips... Then he was startled by Xi Ping's gasping sound and flinched back .
Xi Ping leaned against the half-occupied arms completely effortlessly, and his eyes darkened intermittently. Even so, he spit out the spirit stone with his only good hand and glanced at it, and groaned almost inaudibly: "...Bizhang, I'll kill you."
Pang Jian frowned and looked at Xi Ping's crushed hand: "Isn't your hand a spirit bone? What's the matter, so fragile?"
Xi Ping's spiritual bone is a hidden bone attached to the real bone, and it would be better to blow up the real bone for this hidden bone. Hearing this, he smiled wryly: "It can... maybe... just like this one..."
Each spiritual bone has its own strange temper, which is like a birthmark on the buttocks, no matter how familiar you are with others, it is not appropriate to ask for details. Pang Jian didn't ask any more questions, and looked for the elixir in the mustard seeds.
Hearing Xi Ping curse suddenly, his whole body almost went into convulsions—the plague-stricken hidden bone began to perform "life and death bones", and it hurts more than being crushed when it grows back!
For a moment, Xi Ping's consciousness was broken, and then he was awakened by the pain soon. The spirit stone in his mouth was crushed by his tongue, and he didn't know when it had turned into powder.
Xi Yue, who was wearing the Dragon Taming Lock, immediately fetched a Bai Ling to feed him without opening his mouth to order, and hurriedly put him on the couch.
"The flesh and blood are healing, it's not a big problem... Hey, this brat."
Xi Yue opened Pang Jian's hand like a cub in distress, and made a sharp sound from her throat.
Well, when I saw him trembling back then, I didn't dare to move, but now I dare to scratch him, and my growth is not in vain.
Pang Jian didn't have the same experience as a half-even, so he gave a "tsk", he retracted his arms and stood still, and said to Xi Ping, "You can do it, you didn't cry, you are kind enough."
"Fuck... hiss... I... if my mother was here... I promise... all the chickens in a three-mile radius would not dare to crow," Xi Ping gritted his teeth and pulled out a sweat towel, wrapping his bloody hand around him, "Follow... What good will it do me to cry with you? Hey... Ancestor Yue, please do me a favor, I'm already like this... you still want me to coax you?"
Hearing this, Xi Yue gritted her teeth and forced back her tears.
Xi Ping's eyes diverged from the pain, his breath was so short that he couldn't get through his throat, and he babbled nonsense: "You are too unreliable... You are too unreliable, old Pang... I will never take you with me when I go out to sneak around..."
Pang Jian: "..."
Delay your business.
After about a stick of incense, the lump of bone and flesh on Xi Ping's wrist barely formed the outline of a hand. The sharp pain passed, and he gradually got used to it, and finally he was able to breathe into his lungs.
Xi Yue carefully fed him half a glass of water, Xi Ping shook his head and avoided after taking two sips: "I don't want this, pour me a glass of wine—I said, old Pang, what did you see at that time?"
Pang Jian paused, and the cynical smile evaporated on his face.
Without saying a word, he filled the doors and windows with spells that prevent the walls and ears. He sat on the side and drank Xi Ping's wine. It’s from my Dawan Mining Office, you already know it. Because you interfered, and because the nearby Chu State resident heard the commotion and came to join in the fun, they probably withdrew in a hurry before they achieved their goal.”
Xi Ping blinked the cold sweat off his eyelashes: "What are they looking for? That underground Lingshi warehouse full of inscriptions?"
"The warehouse is full of poorly processed spirit stones, and the stone snow has not been cleaned," Pang Jian said in a deep voice, "I didn't see the exit in the warehouse, only a teleportation circle."
"Teleportation circle? Where did Lian's spirit stone come from?" Xi Ping's train of thought was sharpened by the pain, and he immediately asked, "So the Karma Beast entered the circle? Where did the spirit stone come from?"
"The Karma Beast lost contact with me when it left the magic circle. I only took one look. But I will never admit it wrong... It was sent to the South Mine." Pang Jian raised his eyes and said word by word, "Someone in the Ling Mine had contacts with foreign countries and smuggled a large number of Lingshi to the Shu Kingdom's garrison."
The South Mine in Dawan is really lively, not only the evil spirits are worried about it, but also the neighboring countries are eyeing it.
But compared to these major national events, Xi Ping always paid more attention to the expressions and tone of the people around him. He found that when Pang Jian said the word "Nankuang", he gritted his teeth.
What place will make people "never admit their mistakes" after a hasty glance
If he didn't go home for three months, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that he would recognize the flowers in the backyard of the Hou Mansion after changing several pots of flowers.
Xi Ping suddenly remembered that Tai Sui Liang Chen had inadvertently revealed to him that Pang Jian was the son of a miner in the South Mine—the whole family died in a mining accident!
He shook his head, temporarily put aside his injured hand, and asked, "Can the spirit stones in the mine be stolen casually? Are there no counts?"
"Yes," Pang Jian's face became more serious, "there are often impurities on the spirit stone, and the stone snow is not evenly distributed. If you just count the weight, it is easy to make mistakes. The amount of spirit stone mined is based on the surging spirit energy—the spirit energy activity of the spirit mine is closely related to the output of the spirit stone, and it cannot be faked, even if there is a piece of low-grade jade seal missing... there is only one exception."
Xi Ping had a premonition of what he was going to say.
Pang Jian said: "Mine disaster."
In the event of a mine disaster, the mining area collapses, and the aura collides randomly, and the monitoring will fail.
Xi Ping held his breath: "Are there frequent mine disasters?"
The corner of Pang Jian's mouth twitched, revealing an unformed sneer: "Every now and then."
The Spirit Mine is no different than other places. Except for the large formation comparable to the Xuanyin Inner Gate, no other magic formations can be placed on the mine, and even the inscriptions must be cautious. For the miners, the protective measures are actually not as good as the factory workers next to the moon-plated gold melting furnace—if the factory is willing to open a magic circle.
Miners who have not experienced three or five mining disasters are not worthy of being called "old miners". They can only carry all kinds of amulets with them, and try to survive as much as possible when a small mining accident occurs...and resign themselves to fate in the event of a major disaster.
Even so, there are still a large number of laborers dreaming of going south to mine every year, and the selection is as strict as a military test. The miners have a lot of money, and with Shi Xue subsidizing their families, they can buy houses and land after working for a few years. Even if he is unlucky and dies in a mining accident, his wife, children, and children will be able to rely on him in the future... Besides, in a land of chaos, Dawan miners can be considered "upper class". Even with the same salary, how can listening to people yelling and drinking in the street compare to holding a noodle bowl in the mine and sighing about the dignity of the troubled people
But looking at it this way, how many of those frequent mine disasters are natural disasters, and how many are man-made
There was shouting from the crew outside the window, indicating that the ship was about to leave the Chu Country Station.
