Volume 1: Wrath of the West Chapter 98 Taiyi Yin-Yang Furnace
…
Although the Angry Chicken is gone, there is no Six-winged Centipede either.
Just prepare enough roosters to deal with the centipedes here.
He took back the unused puppet talisman and walked to the center of the Wuliang Palace.
There is a stone well here with a diameter of more than two meters and one meter above the ground. It is built with bluestone and covered with a hollow bronze cover.
Perhaps because it is often climbed by six-winged centipedes, it is still covered with a thick patina despite its age.
Opening this cover reveals the chimney of Pingshan Dan Palace.
However, this chimney is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. If you go down from it, you will fall to death unless you have the Flying Tiger Claw of Partridge Whistle.
Fortunately, there is more than one way to get to the Dan Palace.
Walking out of the Wuliang Hall, there are twelve stone steps, and in the distance is a bluestone square that is several thousand square meters.
A deep ravine more than 20 meters wide divides the square into two parts, large and small.
The one near the Wuliang Hall is slightly smaller.
Xu Rui had earlier found a path that was easy to walk on through the Five Ghosts.
Thirty meters to the left of the stone bridge, there are some protruding rocks. These rocks are not continuous, but the interval is no more than two meters. With the ability of Xu Rui and the chickens and poison behind him, it is not difficult to pass.
It took him less than five minutes to reach the bottom of the valley, which was more than thirty meters deep.
The poisonous creatures living here are simply wiped out by the hunting of chickens.
Successfully arrived at a rock crevice.
Scratches left by the six-winged centipede moving in and out can be seen on the rock wall.
After walking twenty meters, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.
A huge stone cave the size of a football field appeared before us.
The cave is thirty meters high and becomes narrower as it goes up. There are niches carved out on the cliffs around it.
The light in the niche was dim, as if billions of stars were twinkling.
It brought light to the entire cave.
In the center of the cave is a two-meter-high three-legged bronze furnace.
The belly of the furnace is bulging, with a diameter of nearly ten feet, which is huge.
The body of the stove is embossed with the Eight Diagrams and the edges are decorated with cloud patterns.
The ears are curved and embossed with strange beasts.
The whole thing is indigo blue and looks extremely simple and ancient.
Looking at it, Xu Rui felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
In the novel, this bronze furnace was made from the remains of the "Guixu Divine Cauldron" cast by King Mu of Zhou in ancient times, and its origin is extremely impressive.
He took two steps forward and stood in front of the copper furnace which was taller than himself. After looking at it for a few seconds, he took a deep breath and put his hands on it.
The golden finger reacted suddenly and a light screen appeared.
"Taiyi Yin-Yang Furnace (remaining), ninth-grade superior."
After watching it, I felt both happy and disappointed.
What made him happy was that this was the first time he obtained a ninth-grade top-quality magical weapon.
What’s disappointing is that despite its great origin, it is only of the upper ninth grade.
However, judging from the suffix "残", it was obviously more than nine grades when it was at its peak.
His spiritual consciousness immersed in the "Taiyi Furnace" and soon discovered the three restrictions imprinted inside the furnace.
It was so complex and mysterious that it surpassed all the magical weapons he had seen before.
Knowing that he would not be able to comprehend it in a short time, and he did not have a ninth-grade puppet talisman, he could only leave it for later.
He took out the Hundred Souls Banner and swung it around.
Five balls of mist fell to the ground and turned into five tall ghosts.
"master."
"Take this stove and take it to the raccoon grave I told you about."
"yes."
Although they agreed, they all looked embarrassed when looking at the huge Taiyi furnace.
too heavy.
Xu Rui took out a bottle of pills from his hair bag and threw it over.
"There are five Yin Dan in here, one for each person. Take them and get to work."
"Thank you, sir."
The five ghosts were overjoyed and took it quickly.
Money makes the world go round.
After taking the elixir, the five ghosts did not hesitate any longer. They picked up the Taiyi furnace, shouted slogans, and disappeared into the rocks.
"These lazy fellows, if they are not needed later, they will be whipped a few times."
Fortunately, he still had a lot of Yin Dan that he got from the great wizard of Jinfeng Village, so he didn't have to worry about these guys not working hard.
Without the furnace, all that remained in the entire cave were coffins arranged in a disorderly manner.
There are at least hundreds of them.
Some of the coffins were empty, while others were still sealed.
Just picked one at random.
It was clearly written on the seal on the coffin.
The Imperial Astronomical Office of the Song Dynasty issued an amnesty order for his capture.
There is a big seal on the back.
Xu Rui sensed a trace of majestic and vast power from above.
It's just that time has passed so long that this power has weakened to the point of being negligible.
After thinking about it, he took off the seal and put it into his Dharma bag, intending to contemplate it later when he had free time.
Open the coffin.
A strong smell of corpse wafted into my nose.
Inside the coffin was a corpse dressed in tattered clothes, with the exposed skin appearing bluish-gray.
The corpse had thick joints, sharp black nails, and exposed veins on its face, making it look extremely hideous.
Obviously, this is a zombie.
Pulling aside the clothes on his chest, a metal cover the size of a date with embossed runes on the surface appeared in sight.
I reached out and touched it , and I understood.
"It is indeed the corpse-suppressing nail."
The zombie's entire body is pure yin, except for its heart blood, which is pure yang and is also its only weakness.
The Corpse-Suppressing Nail can use the zombie's own Yin energy to pin down this point of pure Yang.
As long as the zombie is alive and the Yin Qi continues to exist, the Corpse-Suppressing Nail will not be destroyed and the zombie will never be able to escape.
In comparison, talismans last for a much shorter time.
Sudden.
The zombie's body turned gray, and in front of Xu Rui's eyes, it slowly turned into a pile of bones mixed with ashes.
He was not surprised by this.
Although zombies are said to be immortal in legends, they are just legends.
In fact, the lifespan of zombies is just longer than that of humans, they are not truly immortal. Otherwise, why would everyone work so hard and spend hundreds or even thousands of years to cultivate immortality?
However, zombies die differently from humans.
When a person dies, the body dies, but the soul can still live for hundreds of years.
Zombies, on the other hand, have both their souls and bodies decaying together.
Generally speaking, a ninth-grade iron corpse-level zombie can live for three hundred years.
He didn't know how long the higher-level bronze-armored corpses could live.
There is not much record about zombies in the second part of "The Five Poisonous Gu Shen Nerve" .
When the Corpse-Suppressing Nail was picked up, its spirituality had been lost, but it could be restored if it was sacrificed again.
The method of refining the corpse-suppressing nail was recorded in the Five Poisonous Gu Sutra, so Xu Rui kept it.
More than half of the nearly 100 coffins contained zombies, but unfortunately they had all decayed.
After collecting the remaining corpse-suppressing nails and asking the five returning ghosts to move all the coffins away, two stone slabs with relief carvings of Yaksha ghosts were revealed on the ground.
What’s strange is that this Yaksha ghost has no eyes.
Xu Rui examined the two eyeless Yaksha stone doors and did not open them rashly.
At the beginning, he asked the Five Ghosts to explore the underground palace. They went to other places, but under the Dan Palace, where the Guishu Iron Pavilion was supposed to be, they were trembling with fear and never dared to go deeper.
Even after he obtained the Xuan Gui Bagua Order, he still didn't dare to go down.
You can imagine what kind of horror it is inside.
Xu Rui thought about it and tried to use his spiritual sense to penetrate the floor and take a peek.
But as soon as his spiritual consciousness touched the stone slab, he saw a flash of light in the eye sockets of the Yaksha ghost, and the scene in front of him changed drastically in an instant.
