Chapter 102
Hearing this, Wang jiaonian took out a thin piece of silk from her storage bag. After opening it, she saw a hand-drawn topographic map of a mountain village.
“A hundred years ago, when the head of the Han family set up the yin Water illusory Lotus formation, he asked for the help of the sect’s array peak.” Wang jiaonian pointed at the map and said, ” I have an aunt who’s a lecturer at array peak, so I asked her to make a copy of the map that array peak used to survey the mountain villa. &Quot;
“Although a hundred years have passed, my aunt said that there are a few important nodes in the yin Water illusory Lotus formation that can not be changed. Since the formation is still there, it means that even if there are changes in the interior of the villa, the key nodes should not have been changed.”
“In addition, my aunt also said that there are a few places in the yin Water illusory Lotus formation that are naturally places to set up treasure vaults and secret chambers. It’s because they’re all places where the spiritual vigor of the formation is gathered. Without the corresponding method to open them, unless the entire formation is destroyed, it’s impossible to open them with brute force.”
“Everyone, please look at the map. According to my aunt’s calculations, the most likely locations for the Treasury are the ancient well in the back mountain, the underground of the main hall, the Lotus pond in the southeast corner of the back residence, the master’s study, the Han family’s ancestral hall, and the martial arts practice field.”
&Quot; from where we are now, the closest place after entering is the martial arts practice field, followed by the main hall, then the master’s study, the Lotus pond in the back of the house, the ancestral hall, and finally the ancient well in the back mountain. &Quot;
PEI Ling took a closer look. The mountain villa in the picture clearly occupied an extremely vast area, much larger than the swamp he was seeing now.
There were five gates from the main entrance to the main hall of the villa.
In the middle, there were paths and trenches, and the parapet was piled with arrows, like a small town. Just by looking at the layout, it was easy to defend but hard to attack.
The main hall didn’t seem to have any problems on the map. It was a large house with the family head’s study room in it.
After that was the backyard.
The size of the backyard occupied two-thirds of the entire area of the Han Manor.
The so-called lotus pond was actually a huge Lake, and all the pavilions in the back residence were built around it. There was a small island in the middle of the pool, and it was marked as a Pavilion in the middle of the lake.
The back of the mountain was located in the Northwest corner of the villa. Between the rolling mountains, more than half of the Lotus pond was surrounded. The ancestral hall was located at the top of the mountain.
The ancient well was in the shade behind the mountain, and there was an ancient tree marked by the well.
“The martial arts practice field is the nearest, but the possibility of a treasure vault in the martial arts practice field is not high.” After everyone had finished looking at the topographic map and roughly memorized it, the taciturn Zhou chengfeng said, ” when the Han family was at its peak, they had many children. They even took in many children from their families and relatives, who trained in the martial arts field all day long. That place can be said to be full of people and eyes. It’s not convenient to open the Treasury, and it’s hard to avoid being spied on. ”
&Quot; by the same logic, the main hall and the master’s study. The former often receives important guests. If someone with a high cultivation base senses the precious items in the Treasury, wouldn’t it be a disaster? ”
&Quot; the latter is the place where the master handles the affairs of the villa. Like the martial arts field, it’s crowded and eye-catching, so it’s not suitable for the treasure vault. &Quot;
&Quot; so I think the most likely locations are the bottom of the Lotus Pool, the ancient well behind the mountain, and the Han family’s ancestral hall. &Quot;
Zhang Shuo nodded slightly and said, ” “After we go in, we’ll focus on checking the three places you mentioned. However, in order to avoid darkness, we’ll have to search the other places as well to avoid missing anything.”
Everyone responded in unison.
Because they were all cultivators and were all in the blood carriage, there was no need to arrange for people to keep watch at night. After the discussion, everyone began to cultivate and wait for the time to enter the villa.
PEI Ling silently took out a Supreme-grade bone-tempering pill and called out in his mind,”System, I want to cultivate!”
Although this was a last-minute preparation, it was still a little bit of cultivation. Perhaps he could rely on this little bit of cultivation to outrun these senior brothers and sisters and survive?
The next moment, the system said,’ding dong! The intelligent cultivation system is at your service ...”
The familiar sound of bones cracking began to spread throughout the blood carriage.
After experiencing the absorption of fire and the nine nether Cold Spring water, PEI Ling no longer felt the pain of cultivating the bone forging technique.
He was thinking about what kind of danger there might be in the Han Manor when he suddenly saw a white-clothed figure flashing through the moonlight-like pear blossoms outside the window from the corner of his eye.
PEI Ling was stunned. He wanted to take a closer look, but he could not control his body at the moment, so he could not see more.
At the same time, Li Xiaqing, who was not far away, stood up and walked out without a word.
&Quot; it seems that Senior Sister li has also discovered it. &Quot; Seeing this, PEI Ling nodded slightly in his heart and thought to himself, with this eighth-stage Qi refining Senior Sister handling it, there shouldn’t be any problems.
However, Li Xiaqing had gone out for a long time and did not return. Just as PEI Ling was feeling suspicious, Zhou chengfeng stood up again and also walked out without a word.
Then, Lu lü Qiang, Xu Ke, Wang jiaoniang, Zhao Chang ‘an ... And finally, even Zhang Shuo stood up in silence and walked out quickly.
In a short moment, only PEI Ling was left in the spacious blood carriage.
Something had happened!
PEI Ling’s heart sank. Zhang Shuo had just warned them not to leave the blood carriage if there was nothing important. Even if they had to deal with the white-robed figure, how could so many people, including Zhang Shuo himself, leave one by one without saying a word?
Damn it, what’s wrong with this han family’s Villa that even a ninth-stage Qi refining cultivator could be affected?
At that moment, the system’s warning tone sounded.”Ding dong! The cultivation session ended here. Thank you, host, for using the intelligent cultivation system. With one click of the button, you can ascend without worry! Please give me a five-star rating if you are satisfied!”
PEI Ling gave it a three-star rating and was still hesitating about what to do next when Zhang Shuo’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear. &Quot; “Junior Brother PEI, come here quickly.”
He was stunned and subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a white-robed figure standing among the pear blossoms and waving at him. It was Zhang Shuo!
... PEI Ling felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He instinctively wanted to stay away from the other party, but ‘Zhang Shuo’s’ voice rang in his ears again and again.”Junior Brother PEI, come here ... Come here ... Come here ...” He said.
As the call grew louder and more urgent, PEI Ling’s eyes began to fall into a daze. He stood up involuntarily and walked out of the blood carriage.
“System!” He knew that the situation was not good, and while he still had a trace of consciousness, he shouted in his mind, ” cultivate! [ bone forging Art ]! [ temporary cultivation-intelligence duration ]! [ one-click seize ]!”
“Ding dong!” The system’s heavenly voice instantly rang out, interrupting the tide-like calls, ” the intelligent cultivation system is at your service ... &Quot;
When he regained consciousness, PEI Ling felt a lingering fear in his heart. That was close!
It was no wonder that Zhang Shuo and the others had left one by one. It seemed that they had all been bewitched by the thing outside the palanquin.
One ninth-stage Qi refining cultivator and six eighth-stage Qi refining cultivators had not even entered the Han family’s Manor. They had only taken a short break in the pear Blossom forest outside the manor, and there was also the blood palanquin as a buffer. Yet, in an instant, they were completely annihilated?
No, not to mention the other senior brothers and sisters, senior brother Zhang Shuo was at the peak of Qi disciple level 9, half a step to Foundation establishment. It was impossible for him to enter the Han family villa without even entering the main door.
Otherwise, that eighth-stage Qi refining senior brother from the previous mission would definitely not have been able to escape.
Thinking of this, PEI Ling secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Just at this moment, he saw a few figures slowly approaching from outside the blood carriage ...
