Chapter 257: Eating up all the money
It was pitch dark in the passage.
Liang Qu lit up his golden eyes and saw a kerosene lamp hanging on the wall.
He took the fire stick from Ke Wenbin, unscrewed the lid and blew off the sparks.
Sparks splashed onto the oil and ignited into flames.
Ke Wenbin looked at Liang Qu who could move freely in the dark without any hindrance, and was amazed.
"How many techniques have you practiced, how come you can do everything?"
The night, the house, and the tunnel were all weakened, and there was no light at all. Even he had some difficulty seeing things here.
Coupled with the previous evil-fighting techniques and the weird hearing, none of these techniques are easy to practice.
All of them were focused on Liang Qu, who had not yet reached the crown. If it were a middle-aged man, he wouldn't be so surprised.
"I'm gifted."
"That's true."
Ke Wenbin touched his chin thoughtfully.
He didn't take this sentence as a joke, he really felt it.
"Don't be dazed. It's dawning early now. We have to rush back before it gets dark."
Xiang Fangsu handed over a torch.
Liang Qu also took one.
The corner after entering the passage was full of torches with cloth strips wrapped around their heads. Apparently, the ghost mother taught people to keep them for her own use, which was convenient for them.
The fire was bright, and the blue bricks reflected a clear white light.
Xiang Fangsu walked in the front, Ke Wenbin walked in the back, and Liang Qu walked in the middle.
The entire corridor is not wide, and you can reach the top with your hand. The terrain is sloping downwards. Occasionally, one or two steps can be seen, which means that they are constantly going deep into the ground.
Liang Qu silently estimated the distance and walked about five hundred steps. The firelight revealed a dark hole.
Ke Wenbin crossed the Liangqu and leaned against Xiang Fangsu on both sides of the channel.
They looked at each other and rushed out at the same time.
"no problem."
The voices of two people came from the darkness, and Liang Qu followed them out.
He looked around. At the end of the corridor was a huge space, and the light from the torch could only illuminate the blue bricks under his feet.
Half of the steps protrude from the wall, and inside is an oil groove. Liang Qu lowers the torch and ignites the cotton rope soaked in oil.
The flames spread along the oil channel, the golden oil burned violently, and a flood of light splashed out, illuminating the empty and dark hall.
The first thing that caught the eye was an alchemy cauldron that was three feet tall.
The body of the tripod is round and dark, with a tightly closed lid. Nine black dragons are engraved around the body, holding a round bead at the top.
The black dragon is so lifelike that if you hadn't been staring at it, you would have thought it was alive!
"Black Dragon Ten Thousand Squares Cauldron!"
Xiang Fangsu raised his head with wonder in his eyes.
"I only saw the artist's picture album in Zongxue before, but I didn't expect to see it for real today." Ke Wenbin couldn't help but touch it. Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched it, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes showed disbelief, "There are Ash?"
шωш¸ ttκǎ n¸○
He raised his hand in surprise and rubbed the black ash on his fingertips, wondering if he was hallucinating.
Then he grabbed his sleeve and wiped it on Ding's body. A whole black spot was particularly eye-catching, as if it had pierced Ke Wenbin's longing since childhood.
Xiang Fangsu wiped it and also left a dark spot.
"There is no alchemist worthy of it in the Ghost Mother Cult, so it has been abandoned."
Not only was it deserted, there wasn’t even a servant to clean it!
Liang Qu had never been to a religious school, but he could guess that the cauldron in front of him was a treasure passed down from generation to generation.
He stepped across the black cauldron, and further away there were several large cauldrons with different shapes.
On the other side of the alchemy furnace is the weapon-refining guy.
The square hammer with mysterious patterns and the furnace several feet high, even if no one cares about it for decades, still have a breathtaking magnificence.
Any item in the hall that leaks to the outside world may trigger the crazy pursuit of alchemists and casters.
It's just that they are now following the Ghost Mother Cult and have been buried on an uninhabited island for decades.
One can imagine the decline of the Ghost Mother Cult in recent years.
The big goods in Xu Yuelong's mouth should refer to these things.
"The Ghost Mother Cult we fight is probably not the same thing as the one Xu Guogong fought back then."
"After changing the shape of offense and defense, the Ghost Mother Sect will lose half to us and half to time."
Liang Qu suddenly asked: "How many bloodlines are there in the Ghost Mother Cult that fled to Daze?"
"It has been verified that there are eighteen meridians." Xiang Fangsu replied, "The branch we are fighting was also a member of the royal family at that time, with the surname Huang, so many of the direct descendants here have the surname Huang."
"There are seventeen more like this?"
Liang Qu was stunned. The wealth of one branch was so huge. The total of eighteen branches...
"Wrong!" Ke Wenbin shook his head, "There are only nine branches like this. Of the remaining eight branches, five are princes, two are princes, and one is from the family. They are far more powerful than the one we cleared out. Strong, maybe the Martial Saint will come in person.
But things are different now. In the past, the Ghost Mother Sect was in a tight knot. It’s been more than sixty years, and it’s hard to say.
Maybe the credit for completely eradicating the Ghost Mother Cult will fall on you and me. When the time comes, I will give my father a knighthood. "
The three of them marveled for a moment, then walked along the corridor behind the main hall.
When we arrived at the second main hall, the painting style suddenly became strange.
Several corpses were leaning in the corner, with mottled grayish-yellow faces on their faces. The muscles and skin all over the body were shriveled and clinging to the bones. Even the eyes were dehydrated and empty, and their sights were cast into the darkness of infinity.
The most eye-catching thing among them is the open ribs of the corpse like two crumbling doors.
Liang Qu is very familiar with this.
Mountain ghost.
After being sucked by the mountain ghost, it looks like this.
There is also a stone door on the left side of the main hall. When you open the stone door, there are corpses scattered inside.
Liang Qu couldn't count how many there were, there could be dozens or hundreds. The dried blood was spattered on the masonry floor, leaving no one with the slightest desire to go in and explore.
The three of them browsed through it in a hurry and came to the third hall. The content inside was refreshing.
Long sword, broad sword, armor, arm guards, long clothes...
Liang Qu let go of his senses and could sense that almost half of the things inside were spiritual weapons!
Ke Wenbin passed the two of them and rushed to a piece of clothing.
"Fengming Nishang Yufeng! Oh my god, these are the last few treasures of Master Shao Jiyi at the end of his life! They are so damn beautiful, even better than the paintings!"
Ke Wenbin couldn't put it down and reached out to take it down.
Xiang Fangsu was surprised: "One person has two things. You don't want to take this, do you? Give it to your fiancée? You have to think about it."
Ke Wenbin became confused after hearing this.
"Listen to my brother's advice and look back before deciding. If there is nothing suitable, you can come back and get it."
Ke Wenbin was moved and put down the clothes in his hands.
Love makes people blind.
Liang Qu sighed.
Everyone came to the fourth room, opened the door, and a faint fragrance wafted in. The cabinets were displayed in rows, and there were small medicine bottles on many shelves.
Baozhi, Baodan!
The most valuable thing!
Although weapons and armor are good, they are still foreign objects. The root of everything lies in strength!
The three of them each ran towards a container.
шшш ✿Tтkд n ○
Liang Qu pulled one away, but it was empty.
He was stunned, thinking it was a coincidence, but when he opened another one, it was still empty!
Liang Qu quickly pulled away the few beside him.
empty.
empty.
All empty!
He turned to look at Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin, and the three people's eyes met in mid-air at the same time.
"Why are they all empty?"
"Been used?"
Everyone was stunned, and when they thought of the dusty alchemy furnace, their expressions became distorted.
If there is only exit but no entrance, isn’t it empty?
There is still a lot of metal and weapons left. After all, spiritual weapons can self-regenerate and grow, and consume much less than medicines.
Baozhi Baodan is completely empty-handed!
There is not enough to eat for oneself, let alone for those who come after them.
Liang Qu and others did not give up. They rummaged through the cabinets and searched one by one. In the end, they only found two cabinets with something in them.
