Chapter 3880 The Real Master
Xiao Yi pulled out his short sword and struck the man very quickly, and his position was very accurate.
One move destroyed the puppet's joints, greatly restricting the puppet's movements. To be able to do this, he must have passed through these puppets blocking the way.
"Xiao..."
Suddenly Xiao Yi noticed that there was a word "xiao" carved on the handle of the short knife.
The material for casting the dagger is not an ordinary thing. It is made of cold iron. Such a dagger will not rust for hundreds of years even if it is left in the air. The blade is as sharp as mud when cutting iron.
"It's Xiao again. Could this knife be the personal belongings of the person who wrote the inscription outside?"
The person who inscribed the calligraphy and painting, and the word that appeared at this moment, Xiao Yi could easily connect the two.
If this is really the case, this intruder, also named Xiao Huaiyi, successfully passed through these blocking puppets and entered the center of the stone palace.
Then the secret in the stone palace may be exactly what Xue Yaoyue said. Others had already discovered it first. Xiao Yi and the others came a step late, and felt very unwilling to do so.
After spending so long, it was all in vain. No one could accept it. Xiao Yi held a short knife in one hand and walked forward quickly. He would not give up until he saw the final result.
As the passage continued, the sound of water flowing reached Xiao Yi's ears. A narrow passage appeared in front of him. Xiao Yi passed through it quickly, and the sight in front of him became bright and spacious again.
There is a stone chamber the size of a basketball court. The ground of the stone chamber is flat. Right in front of it, groundwater continues to seep and flow along the cracks in the rocks, converging into several small waterfalls and eventually flowing into the pool below.
Right in the center of the pool, there is a separate open space, which is tight enough for one person to stand. On a stone pillar above, there is something placed, seven or eight meters apart. Xiao Yi can see at a glance that this Something seems unusual.
Xiao Yi took a step forward and used his thirteen ghost legs. He planned to step onto this open space to find out what was going on, but was stopped by Zixu in time.
"Apprentice, wait a moment!"
Just one step away from crossing the water, Xiao Yi immediately stopped his strength, turned around and landed on the stone slab.
"What's wrong, Master?"
"I just want to tell you that some things that can be easily seen may not be easily accessible, and what can be easily obtained may not be visible."
Zixu warned Xiao Yi that this is an unchanging rule. Never look at things with your own eyes. Some things are far more dangerous than you think.
The master's reminder made Xiao Yi gradually calm down. This sentence was correct. There were puppets guarding the outside, and even the only way to pass was blocked by the body of a strong man. How could he let himself pass easily. ,
Xiao Yi took out the dragon-slaying knife, cut off a corner on the stone slab with one stroke, grabbed it and threw it into the pool. Just when the stone crossed the boundary between the stone slab and the pool, suddenly above the pool, Zi Lei suddenly appeared and hit the stone. .
A stone was hit by purple thunder on the spot and turned into powder. At the same time, hundreds of purple thunder fell from above the pool, rendering the pool into a purple thunder river for a while, and burst out with the sound of galloping horses. roar.
Zi Lei exuded terrifying coercion, and this momentum alone was heart-stopping. Such a powerful aura exceeded Xiao Yi's expectations and also surprised Zixu.
Such a purple thunder formation, let alone an ordinary person, would be blasted to pieces by the purple thunder if Xiao Yi's strength passed through it at this moment, and even his soul would be torn into pieces.
"What a terrifying power. What kind of state did the master of this stone palace have during his lifetime, to be able to arrange such a formation?"
After seeing this scene, Xiao Yi automatically took a few steps back. He didn't want to be affected by the purple thunder and die due to carelessness.
After thinking about the matter for a while, from the experiences he encountered when he came here to the current Purple Thunder Formation, Zixu seemed to understand something, stroking his gray beard and letting out a few chuckles.
"So that's what happened."
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
"I originally thought that the owner of this stone palace was the corpse of the strong man you met before. Now it seems that that person is just a gatekeeper for the stone palace."
What Zixu meant was that the stone palace had existed longer than the strong man outside, and the restrictions in the stone palace were not arranged by him.
The puppet array in the stone palace, the six previous puppets, and the calligraphy and paintings in the stone room were all written by that person, but he was not the real owner of the stone palace. The owner of the stone palace was several times stronger.
"Perhaps by chance, the man outside discovered the existence of the Stone Palace and came here just like you. He was also blocked by the purple thunder formation."
Zixu speculated that later this man was very unwilling. He clearly saw an attractive secret treasure right in front of his eyes, but had no ability to get it, so he stayed in the stone palace and became the master of the stone palace. Temporary guest.
While living here, he was thinking of ways to improve his strength, and wanted to use this purple thunder formation to get the treasure above. To this end, he carefully studied the puppetry technique and made many puppets.
Of course, the biggest purpose was not to set up the formation, but to control the puppets to get the things above. However, no matter how hard he tried, the gap was too big and he could not pass through the pool at all.
"When you burned the body of the strong man, I noticed that his meridians were damaged. I thought there was something wrong with his practice. Now it seems that he wanted to fight, but he didn't get the things, but he went to death."
This strong man has guarded the secrets in the stone hall for his whole life. For the things in the stone hall, he is even willing to give up his beloved woman and live alone here.
Some of the paintings above show his regrets. He can't get all the beautiful women. It's just a pity that he spent his life's efforts and didn't get what he wanted. Perhaps this is the biggest tragedy.
After the injury, the strong man knew that his time was running out. He didn't want the secrets he had been waiting for to be obtained by future generations, so he arranged a puppet formation, thinking that with the help of the restrictions of the stone hall here, all the later intruders would die here.
This is what I can't get, and others can't get it. After understanding what the master said, Xiao Yi sympathized with the experience of this strong man and sighed.
"It seems that our final result is as futile as his, and we return empty-handed in the end?"
A large purple thunder array blocked Xiao Yi, and even this strong man could not pass through, let alone Xiao Yi's strength, unless he wanted to die.
