Chapter 958: Legal Armor

At the other end of the secret treasure, after Master Xu and his companions crossed several sections of trestle bridges, a cave with a relatively wide entrance appeared in front of them. On both sides were a row of stone statues holding spears. The bottom of the statues were covered with moss, and the wooden spears they held in their hands had long since rotted away.

"Quick, quick, take a picture." Young Master Xu called on the people behind him to take a picture of this scene.

Seeing him gradually approaching the cave, Lao Lai immediately came up to stop him, "Master Xu, be careful."

Young Master Xu said disdainfully, "Be careful, my uncle just went in. If there was any danger, he would have found it out long ago."

The mixed-race instructor named Qiao came over and said with a smile, "Young Master Xu is right. There shouldn't be any danger. However, Mr. Xu is a martial artist, and we don't have his skills. I'll let my apprentice go ahead and scout the way first, so that Young Master Xu won't be disturbed while he's filming. What do you think?"

All Young Master Xu wanted was face. If someone gave him face, he would give it back and said, "Mr. Qiao, that's fine. I'll leave it to you."

Mr. Qiao gave a signal, and a group of people went into the cave. After a while, these people came back safe and sound and whispered something to him.

He nodded, walked over and said a few words to Master Xu, who said disdainfully, "Why bother?"

However, he was still willing to listen to the professionals. After giving an order, everyone put on a thick protective suit that covered them from head to toe.

After we finished strolling outside, we walked inside. As the light shone upwards, someone exclaimed, "Why is this stone pillar growing up there?"

"I know, it's stalactite."

"Really?" Young Master Xu was skeptical. "Why doesn't it look like that to me?"

Teacher Fan then said, "Master Xu, that's not a stalactite, that's a hanging corpse."

"Hanging corpses?" Upon hearing this, there was a commotion around them, with a few low cries of surprise. Because there were so many things hanging upside down, there looked to be no fewer than hundreds.

Master Xu, upon hearing these exclamations, became even more excited. He asked, "Teacher Fan, what are these hanging corpses for? Can you tell me?"

Teacher Fan looked at it and said, "These hanging corpses are arranged to mimic the pattern of the stars in the sky. The old imperial dynasty always claimed that its civil and military officials were stars that descended from heaven, totaling 283 officials. This is a secret underground storage, and the ritual says 'the earth and the sky are reversed,' so they are arranged in reverse. If I'm right, there should be 283 hanging corpses here."

After hearing what he said, everyone counted the bodies separately. In the end, there were exactly 283, no more, no less.

Young Master Xu said, "Hey, Teacher Fan, you're so right!" He then asked, "Since so many star officials are here, this Yuwen secret treasure should be nearby, right?"

Mr. Fan shook his head and said, "That's far from the truth. We're probably just on the edge. Emperor Ying is a man of great ambition. He thinks he's the master of the heavens, and the sun, moon, and stars are just around his feet. He's basically saying he thinks he's the heavens, and the celestial officials are just sitting there on the sidelines."

"That's pretty crazy..." Although Master Xu said this, he looked envious.

At this moment, someone suddenly said, "What's that smell?" This reminder made everyone start sniffing, and they did smell a strange odor.

"Look! Up there, look up there!"

Everyone looked up and saw something wriggling inside the hanging corpses, and it seemed to be expanding.

Mr. Qiao immediately reminded: "Don't panic, put on your protective suits tightly!"

At this time, a series of explosions were heard from above, and the hanging corpses above exploded one by one, with countless slender black insects flowing out of them.

But when these things fell on the protective clothing, although they tried to drill in, they had no way to penetrate it. At this time, a row of people in the back held up flamethrowers and sprayed them towards the front, then swept back and forth, and these insects fell down one after another.

A few minutes later, Master Xu and the others who had retreated outside took off their clothes. Looking at the charred insects that fell off their clothes, Master Xu said with lingering fear: "Mr. Qiao, it's a good thing you made us all wear protective clothing."

Mr. Qiao smiled and said, "This is what I should do."

Teacher Fan, who was standing by, looked at him and said, "Mr. Qiao, have you ever found a secret treasure before?"

Mr. Qiao said modestly, "One of my overseas businesses is accompanying people to explore hidden treasures. I've managed to avoid any mistakes, but I'm sorry to have made such a minor fuss, sir."

Teacher Fan looked at him deeply and said, "Mr. Qiao is experienced."

"Okay, okay, if you two have the skills, please save them for later. Can we continue on our way?" Young Master Xu was a little impatient.

The two nodded in agreement, and the group poured into the cave again, heading towards the opening at the other end.

At almost the same time, Chen Chuan had already reached the main entrance of the palace complex.

He had not encountered any danger or obstacles along the way, but when he thought about it carefully, he had come in from the right way after all, and the purpose of the secret treasure was to make it accessible to future generations. People who knew the correct way to enter were the descendants of the owner of the secret treasure. So even if some key places might not be accessible at will, there was no need to set up defenses everywhere.

At this time, there were two huge warrior statues standing on the left and right in front of the hall, wearing forged iron armor. The two statues were about seven or eight meters tall. The iron materials on their bodies were really expensive, but the inside of their bodies were made of clay.

Chen Chuan took a look and felt that it was not that simple. These should be the bodies of two fighters or generals after their death, just like the bodies of fighters seen in Langtao Hall and An Yao Hall, except that they were wrapped in a layer of clay and golden armor.

After the raccoon cat arrived here, facing the direction of the palace gate, it did not dare to move forward. Instead, it shrank back and hesitated.

After seeing this, Chen Chuan changed his mind and asked Chao Ming to stay outside while he walked in. After crossing the tall threshold, he took a few steps forward and used the Xuejun Sword to lift open the curtain in front of him.

Looking forward again, he saw a divine general standing there in helmet and armor, with his eyes wide open. He was more than twenty meters tall, holding a long mace across his head in one hand and a sword hilt behind him in the other. His armband and robe were flying, and he was looking down at him from above.

Chen Chuan looked up and met its gaze. He could tell that this was also a statue, but... at this moment his brows twitched slightly. At this moment, the general suddenly moved, and the long mace he was holding came down at him!

Chen Chuan stood there motionless. The long mace pierced through his body with a bang, and immediately a burst of light mist exploded. It was just a phantom. After this mace, the general turned around, and the sword behind him was unsheathed, slashing out a blade of light on the ground.

After that, he followed up with one move after another, and a large ball of light mist danced around his body.

Chen Chuan took a few steps and watched carefully. It was clear that they were practicing a set of sophisticated moves, and they were using both sword and mace. In the process of practicing, the god would roar like thunder, and there was a golden-red light flashing in his body. This should be a demonstration of specific breathing methods and alienated tissue guidance techniques at the same time.

He immediately became interested. After watching for a while, he raised the Xuejun Sword. With a flash of light, he drew the sword from its sheath. Then, holding the sword in one hand and the sheath as a mace in the other, he began to practice the moves and breathing movements demonstrated by the general.

With his current ability as a fighter, he could basically master any move after practicing it once, and with the last move he followed the statue and swung it out.

In an instant, the entire body of the statue turned into countless golden powders and scattered, leaving only the empty armor and the weapon in the hand.

Chen Chuan didn't have time to look. At this moment, he only felt hot all over, and there was a force brewing faintly in his body. After that round just now, not only were the alienated tissues in his body mobilized along with his breathing and moves, he could even feel that his spiritual appearance had become more fulfilled.

This is actually a secret technique that can cultivate spiritual presence!

If the practice method in that booklet is used specifically to practice spiritual aspects, then this method is a method that trains breathing, strength, spirit, alienated tissues and even spiritual aspects in all aspects.

This is undoubtedly a top secret, most likely kept by the imperial family at that time, and perhaps it has some connection with Yuwen Yuanqi.

He exhaled a breath of hot air, stopped and stood up. In this way, he had one more way to practice spiritual cultivation, and it did not conflict with the original method of practice. This alone was worth the trip.

However, he also realized that practicing these moves required extremely strong strength, a high coverage of alienated tissue, and abundant energy to support it.

If a practitioner cannot complete it in one breath, it seems that he will suffer permanent damage.

It can only be him. Other fighters would have no chance of success. But since the imperial family has mastered this secret, there must be someone who can practice it.

It's quite amazing to have such a foundation.

But think about it again, those descendants of the old imperial family are not necessarily human. Compared with the people below, they may already be a different kind of creatures. This behavior is not too exaggerated.

He turned the Xuejun Sword, sheathed it, and then walked to the front of the fallen armor and weapons.

The statue was more than 20 meters tall, and its armor and weapons were also extremely large. The armor still stood upright, with a long mace and a long sword inserted on both sides.

After looking at it for a few times, he suddenly had an idea and stretched out his hand. Suddenly, a giant hand, real or fake, condensed from behind him and grasped the long mace. After a while, the weapon trembled, and as the giant hand disappeared, the weapon disappeared with it.

Chen Chuan's eyes lit up. That's right. This should be the so-called "magic weapon" recorded in the old times. It is now called a "boundary-fusion weapon". Different from a simple alienated weapon, this is a weapon specially used by spiritual beings, between the real and the unreal.

He had heard Mr. Zhuan talk about it before, but had never seen it before because this kind of weapon was extremely rare. It was said that it was made of some special materials from relics, and it was definitely not something that ordinary fighters could get.

I didn't expect it to be here.

He looked at the knife again. Since the long mace was one, he thought this weapon should be one as well. So he walked over and tried it. Sure enough, as the big hand behind him reached up and grasped it, the long knife was also taken in by him.

In addition to these two weapons, there is actually another thing that is even rarer.

He looked at the tall armor. If he was not mistaken, it should be a "Great and Powerful Armor", which is also a set of armor that can be worn by spirits.

He opened his hands, and with a thought, the spirit behind him appeared faintly, and the armor began to tremble. The armor plates on it made a series of vibrations, and after a moment, they turned into wisps of mist and floated towards him.
