In the large side hall, there are jet-black shaped armors with a height of more than two meters, dragging their chains, wandering step by step in the side hall.
They seem to be unconscious undead, but also like the defenders guarding the place. Walking around repeatedly.
The Great Elder took out something from his cuff, held it in his hand, and then patted Lu Sheng, signaling him to follow closely.
Lu Sheng nodded, and saw that what the Great Elder was holding was a small cloth bag, which seemed to be a sachet or something, with a strange smell wafting out.
"Go." The Great Elder mouthed a word to Lu Sheng.
The two, one in front and one behind, quickly walked between the two-meter-tall chained armored figures.
These armored men also turned a blind eye to them.
After leaving the side hall, there was an empty passage. The ground of the passage is empty, there is no floor, and it is all dark and dark abyss of unknown depth.
The great elder tapped his feet, and tapped on the wall several times with his strength, easily skimming the passage of more than ten meters. Then he turned his head and pointed to Lu Sheng's footprints on the wall.
Lu Sheng nodded, and also jumped up, his feet easily touched the footprints on the wall, and also lightly landed beside the Great Elder.
Leaving the corridor, the two entered a small room again.
The whole body of the room is dark red, not big, it is similar to the living room of ordinary people, except that in the middle of the room, there is a stone platform with a long knife inserted horizontally on it.
From left to right, the long knife pierced slightly obliquely into a large black stone, and it looked no different from an ordinary blade.
But when he got here, the Great Elder showed a dignified expression and became extremely cautious.
He patted Lu Sheng and pointed to the long knife. Then wrote a word on the wall next to it: Demon.
"A demon? Is this a demon?" Lu Sheng was taken aback, he looked at the knife, but didn't see any tricks.
The great elder stopped talking, but pointed to the underside of the long knife. Then nothing more to say.
Lu Sheng followed his pointing direction and looked over, except for the black stone, he couldn't see anything else.
Great Elder He Lu Sheng observed carefully, and even motioned him to take a closer look. Lu Sheng went around the entire small room, but he didn't find where the devil was. Except for that long knife.
Not long after, the Great Elder signaled that he should leave.
Lu Sheng then turned and left the small room with doubts. The two returned along the same path, but when they passed through the chain armor figures in the side hall, the elder took an additional thing from a wall of the side hall.
The two left the Secret Art Palace and returned to the gate.
"Here, here you are." The Great Elder handed something to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng took it over and saw that it was a red human face mask.
I don't know what material the mask is made of, but the whole body is as hard and cold as a ruby.
It's just that as soon as Lu Sheng took it and held it in his hand, an extremely weird feeling emerged in his heart. Obviously the texture of this mask is cold, but when he holds it in his hand, he can still feel a strong burning sensation, the burning sensation on the skin of his hands.
"This is one of the trophies I got during the siege of monsters. I kept it as a souvenir. It is also the only thing that can be safely taken away in the Secret Art Palace." The elder said lightly.
"This mask burns and emits invisible flames all the time. The flames cannot be seen by ordinary people. You need to feel them with your heart and secret techniques..."
"Intentionally? Use secret techniques to feel it?" Lu Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at the mask in his hand again. The Wucai Kungfu started slowly, and he closed his eyes and began to visualize the Yinhuo human face of the Wucaogong.
But this time the visualization was completely different from his usual situation.
Originally, the Yinhuo human face was only the size of a human head, and the details were blurred, and the outline of the facial features could barely be seen.
But at this time, it suddenly became much clearer.
The facial features, eyes, nose bridge, lips, and even skin details of Yinhuo Human Face are all clear, like a real face shrouded in flames.
"Did you see it?" The elder's voice came next to his ear.
"I see." Lu Sheng replied in a low voice, "I feel that holding this mask, an invisible power is being transmitted from it to my Yinhuoman's face, it seems to have an amplifying effect, compared to usual..."
Suddenly, Lu Sheng's voice stopped abruptly.
Because of the fiery face in front of him, he suddenly opened his eyes. Looking straight into his eyes, it seemed as if the visualized human face suddenly came to life.
"This thing will make your visualization of the Yinhuo Human Face improve faster." The voice of the Great Elder came again.
But Lu Sheng didn't pay attention to this voice at this time, all his energy was concentrated on the suddenly changing face of Yin Huo.
The sudden change made Lu Sheng feel that an extremely terrifying change was taking place in the mask in his hand.
A large amount of powerful Yin Qi that has never been seen before emerged from the red mask. The intensity of the yin energy is incomparable to the one that Lu Sheng absorbed the most before.
"This mask has been passed down for many, many years. It is rumored that it was once excavated from a mysterious relic, and was later brought back to the school. It was regarded as a treasure by my grandfather at the time, and then passed to my father, and then to Me." The Great Elder explained in a low voice.
"So, this thing has a long history?" Lu Sheng asked aloud.
"It's very old. According to my grandfather's research, this material has a history of at least thousands of years." The elder was a little emotional, but he didn't notice Lu Sheng's strangeness at this time.
"Thousands of years..." Lu Sheng was sure that the mask in front of him had had many, many owners, and because of its special nature, many owners regarded it as a treasure. That's why it's possible to accumulate such a huge Yin Qi.
"There are still many such things in the school. My Yuan Demon Sect has a long history, because the founders of the school are the remnants of many aristocratic families who absorbed them, so after they became high-ranking members of the school, they also brought many special items from their ancient families.
If you like it, you can get it after paying a certain price. I can take some as a reward for you, as long as you can complete the homework I assigned. "
"homework?"
Lu Sheng finally came back to his senses.
"Of course, it was just a memorization technique before, and that was just the most basic content. Of course, our Yuan Demon Sect also has homework on actual combat." The elder led Lu Sheng all the way out.
If I could get such a reward for completing my homework, that would be my dream.
Lu Sheng clenched his mask tightly, feeling a little hopeful in his heart.
Only now did he truly feel that he had made the right choice, and that a school with a long history like the Yuan Demon Sect was indeed the most suitable for him.
Because in this school, there are many treasures with a long history and continuous inheritance,
And it just so happens that the worst people in the school are masters far beyond ordinary people, so the yin qi items formed in this way contain far more yin qi than the outside.
"Then now, your first homework is to follow the route I took before, and then walk out in the Secret Art Hall again." The elder said seriously. "If you can complete it without disturbing the taboo puppets, then this mask is yours."
Lu Sheng squinted his eyes, feeling at least a hundred units of Yin Qi contained in the mask, and nodded fiercely.
"I see, please wait a moment."
He put down his mask, bowed slightly to the Great Elder, and then strode into the Court of Punishment.
The black spikes inserted obliquely into the ground kept passing by. Lu Sheng didn't look at the elder who was looking at him behind him, and rushed into the crack of the gate.
But what appeared in front of him was not the hall as before. It is a huge black air vortex that is constantly twisting and shaking.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes slowly, then opened them, the vortex in front of him suddenly shattered, and his vision returned to the previous hall again.
He looked around, turned to the left, and quickly entered the corridor by the window where the Great Elder had walked before.
Walking along the corridor quickly, within ten breaths, Lu Sheng rushed to the side hall full of taboo puppets.
Lu Sheng looked at at least thirty taboo puppets, each of which had bright scarlet eyes, scanning around.
"The Great Elder used a special sachet to come in before. But since he let me come back alone, there must be a solution, and it doesn't need to rely on the sachet."
Lu Sheng pondered for a moment, then stepped into the side hall suddenly.
Whoosh!
He was so fast that he rushed into the palace in the blink of an eye.
Oddly enough, all taboo puppets turn a blind eye to him.
"It turns out that this is simply a test of guts. I should still have the scent from before." Lu Sheng immediately wanted to understand the mystery.
For other disciples, this is indeed a good test, but for Lu Sheng, it is meaningless.
Pass through the side hall, and then the previous corridor passage without ground.
Lu Sheng looked at the wall, the previous footprints had disappeared.
"Is this a test of memory?"
Without hesitation, he stood up from the ground, fluttered on the original position on the wall several times, and then easily landed on the opposite ground.
Going forward again is the last level - the small room before.
Snapped.
Lu Sheng pushed open the door, and the long knife that pierced the stone before was once again printed in his vision.
"Magic...?" He had no expression on his face. Originally, he should have been able to come here, as long as he returned.
It's just that Lu Sheng didn't want to go back so simply.
He walked slowly towards the long knife stuck in the stone, and stretched out his hand to hold it gently.
Then pull it out.
oh...
A strange low sound like the roar of a wild animal came from under the knife.
The entire room began to vibrate slightly.
As Lu Sheng slowly pulled out the knife, the floor of the room trembled more and more. A twisted, strange black mist full of evil murmurs diffused from the bottom of the black stone.
A deep, loud, and vibrating voice sounded slowly.
"I've been asleep for five...."
boom!
Lu Sheng slammed the knife back into its original place.
"It's okay, I just came to see this knife." He smiled. "Go on."
The black mist was sucked into the vortex like water, and was quickly sucked into the gap under the black stone. The trembling in the whole room quickly returned to calm.
A strong voice of unwillingness, anger, aggrieved, and pain turned into a tiny buzzing sound, trying to pass through the ground.
But to no avail, the long knife seemed to be some kind of powerful seal, which perfectly sealed and blocked the voice and emotion.
Lu Sheng looked at the knife, and found that although there was yin energy on it, it didn't seem to be strong.
In addition, this knife has some kind of powerful supernatural power, far surpassing that mask, but the yin energy on it is far inferior to that of the mask.
So he stepped back decisively.
Although there was a huge resistance to inserting it back, this little resistance was negligible for him whose physical strength was terrifyingly strong.
For ordinary people, even if they are children of aristocratic families or schools of thought, they may not have the strength to insert the knife back again.
But for Lu Sheng, it's almost like pulling out a toothpick... ..
"Okay, it's time to go back." Lu Sheng didn't even look at the long knife used for sealing, turned around and strode out of the room.
