Chapter 919 Lotus Platform
After about an incense stick of time, the originally golden lotus pond was left with only empty stems.
If there was no internal force in these empty poles, I guess there wouldn't be even these left now.
"Husband, what are you doing now?"
By the mercury pool, Yang Liushi's cheeks were rosy, and at her feet were two large "packages", which were her outer shirt and Wei Changtian's outer robe.
There is no doubt that it is filled with golden lotus petals.
"Now."
Glancing at the two bundles, the excitement on Wei Changtian's face gradually faded. After thinking for a moment, his eyes fell on the lotus platform in the pond.
"Wait here, I'll go take a look."
After hesitating for a while, he decided to check the body.
It’s not because of curiosity, but simply because I think the best treasure in this tomb should be on the lotus seat, which is under the corpse.
After all, Wei Changtian had carefully observed when he was picking lotus petals just now that the roots of these golden lotuses in the pond seemed to be connected to the lotus pedestals.
This means that the lotus platform is most likely the core of the entire tomb.
"Husband, how about we go out first and find more people before coming back?"
On the other side, hearing that Wei Changtian was going to check the body now, Yang Liushi couldn't help but feel a little worried and whispered:
"If we really encounter any danger, it will always be safer with more people."
"Forget it, it's better not to let too many people know about this."
Wei Changtian shook his head and frowned as he replied, "Besides, I'm worried that Guan Kong also knows about this tomb."
"He probably doesn't know."
Yang Liushi was stunned: "If he knew, shouldn't he come and take away the treasures here immediately after the illusion array was broken?"
"Well, it's possible that he hasn't had time yet."
Wei Changtian turned his head and looked at the huge golden lotus platform: "If we delay, something bad may happen. I will be careful, don't worry."
"Okay then."
Seeing that Wei Changtian said this, Yang Liushi did not persuade him anymore. She just stood by the pool, holding the two bags tightly, and watched Wei Changtian fly to the side of the lotus seat.
“.”
Drawing his sword and lowering his head, Wei Changtian would definitely be lying if he said he was not nervous at all.
After all, Pu Xuan's words "There are always people better than you" were still ringing in his ears, making him realize that the world was not as simple as he had imagined, and that he and Qin Zhengqiu were by no means at the pinnacle of martial arts.
But even if I'm not the strongest, I should be among the "top".
Not a big deal He took a deep breath and looked at the face of the corpse.
Just as imagined, he looked like an ordinary monk with kind eyes.
If I have to say something strange, it is that after three hundred years, the corpse looks as if it had died yesterday.
Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment, then gently pressed his middle and index fingers on the corpse's wrist.
After a few breaths, he didn't feel any changes, which meant that the corpse really had no signs of life.
Fortunately , I relaxed a little, at least the "resurrection" thing should not happen again.
Next, we should see what mystery this lotus seat holds.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
With a slight movement of his mind, several long swords flew out of the star scabbards.
Because the corpse was lying on the lotus pedestal, if Wei Changtian wanted to check the lotus pedestal, he had to move the corpse away first.
Although it was just a matter of raising his hand, he did not do it himself for safety reasons, but prepared to use his flying sword to move the corpse away.
“.”
Several long swords moved slowly, and the tomb became quiet.
Just as several flying swords were inserted into the gap between the corpse and the lotus platform little by little, and the sword tips were sunk several inches, Wei Changtian suddenly frowned and stopped controlling the flying swords.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Seeing this scene, Yang Liushi, who was not far away, suddenly changed his expression and seemed to be preparing to come over.
However, Wei Changtian waved his hand and gently stopped him, "Don't come over, it's okay."
"There seems to be something in between."
"Something?"
Yang Liushi looked at the long swords that had already sunk into the lower half of the corpse and didn't understand what Wei Changtian meant.
Wei Changtian did not explain, but turned around and looked at the corpse in front of him again, as if hesitating about something.
There is something strange about this corpse.
To be precise, the corpse and the lotus seat seem to be "one".
It was not the kind of "one body" that was "glued" together with glue, but more like there were several things like plant roots or animal blood vessels connecting the corpse and the rosette.
These were the things the sword had just touched.
So, should we cut it off and give it a try? Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.
Since the corpse and the lotus seat are connected together, if he wants to continue examining the lotus seat, he can only cut off these "connecting tubes".
Or just cut the body into pieces.
However, he had no grudge against this monk, and Wei Changtian felt a little uncomfortable with seeing him "torture the corpse" in this way.
But if these connecting pipes are cut off, what will happen is unpredictable. Damn it, what's there to be afraid of! You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child! After gritting his teeth, Wei Changtian finally decided to give it a try.
"Go away."
He first shouted at Yang Liushi, and after the latter took a few steps back with a worried look on his face, he took a deep breath and immediately controlled several long swords to slash horizontally.
“Puff! Puff, puff, puff!”
The next moment, as if a sharp blade was cutting through flesh, several cracking sounds were heard from under the corpse.
Feeling that there was no longer any obstacle between the corpse and the lotus platform, Wei Changtian did not hesitate and immediately prepared to control the sword to lift the corpse.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly froze and his movements paused for a moment.
Because he saw that the corpse right next to him was changing at an incredible speed.
It's not a zombie transformation, nor is it a resurrection, but rather a rapid decay.
Just like a deflated balloon, the entire corpse became visibly shriveled and withered. In just a few breaths, all the flesh and blood was gone, and it turned into a skeleton covered with a cassock.
"Fuck!"
After uttering a curse, Wei Changtian instantly shot back several feet. At the same time, dozens of long swords emerged from their scabbards and formed an impenetrable sword net in front of him.
He reacted like this not because he was scared, but because he was afraid that something unexpected might happen next.
After all, the scene just now, besides being weird, can also explain a lot of things.
The lotus pond that can store internal energy, the lotus pedestal that connects all the lotuses, and the corpse on the lotus pedestal. There is no doubt that the reason why this corpse has been able to remain uncorrupted for three hundred years is definitely because the lotus pedestal has been continuously providing him with internal energy.
So, where does the inner strength of this lotus platform come from? "Boom!!!"
As if to prove that Wei Changtian's worries were not groundless, the next second, a powerful internal force so strong that it could almost distort the air suddenly gushed out from the lotus platform, and in the blink of an eye, the complete skeleton was shattered into white bones.
"this!"
Their eyes widened instantly, and the look of astonishment on Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi's faces was exactly the same.
Because they had never seen such pure internal energy, even a peak second-grade warrior could not condense it to this level.
So. "Run!!"
