Chapter 135: Selecting Troops and Generals
"Hey! Is he dead? Those who are still alive, come out and stand at attention to get scolded!"
"You are a bunch of devilish little tricks. You don't learn any good things, but you learn a lot of bad things. Who told you to be so unruly? It's fun to play tricks on people, right? I'll see how you will be happy when I cut off your luck!"
"I can tolerate it once or twice, but you guys are really taking advantage of me!"
"I think you guys will tear down the roof if we don't beat you up for three days!"
“…”
The little sword spirit He Cen got angry and kept talking. A few people from Jun Chao wanted to help him up, but it was so funny to see him cursing so hard.
I don't know who I learned this trick from, but it actually worked. I was cursing all the way through and didn't fall down again.
He Cen rolled his eyes and said in a bad tone, "See? He deserves to be disciplined and scolded!"
The three were delighted. "You keep talking. Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
"want!"
Jun Chao took out a teapot and teacups from his storage ring and poured several cups for He Cen. Seeing that he was about to open his mouth to speak, he quickly stuffed a candy into his mouth. "Okay, I think the things here have learned their lesson. You almost scolded them to tears, but now they are quite obedient. You should also rest your throat."
He Cen snorted, "They got it for free!"
"I'm a sword spirit! Am I someone who can be bullied so easily?"
He has such a pretty face and a proud expression. Who wouldn't like him? Jun Chao gently tapped his forehead and said, "Okay, stop making trouble. If you need to find something, don't waste time."
Seeing that his master was talking about serious matters, He Cen put away his noisy temper and explained a few words in a loud voice, "We need to find the Purple Star Secret Steel. Combining this thing with the previous Iron Bone Treasure Stem will have a better effect."
"I feel like there must be a lot of good stuff in this ancient tomb, but I don't know how to get in."
"Does this tomb have an owner? Do any of you know?"
After stepping into the world of cultivation, they paid less attention to the affairs of the mortal world. They had never inquired about the owner of this tomb, Jun Chao. In fact, even if they checked, the information might not be very accurate.
Some people in the mortal world say that it is the tomb of the emperor of a certain kingdom, and some other time they say that it was built by some powerful imperial master. Anyway, there are many different opinions and no one can guess who the specific owner is.
In addition, after the ancient tomb was uncovered, the fortunes of the surrounding area changed drastically. No one dared to get close to study it, and things became even more confusing. Now no one knows what the situation of this ancient tomb is.
He Cen found it strange that no one could explain it clearly. "It is impossible to verify it, so it might not be a mortal's tomb. I feel that there are many good things in it. Could it be a cave left by some ancient great being?"
The eyes of the three people in Bo Lou lit up, "That's really possible."
He Cen blinked and said, "Let's go find the entrance and go in and explore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Qing released a dozen puppets. After the ghost shadow flashed by and disappeared, Jun Chao and the others also helped to search.
If this place is really a cave left behind by some powerful person, there will definitely be a lot of gains. He Cen was rubbing his hands in anticipation while discussing with his three masters how to get the treasure.
Unexpectedly, this place was quite good at screening people. After finding the entrance, they only let He Cen in.
Jun Chao and the other two were blocked outside and couldn't get in.
The three masters were extremely anxious and immediately sent spiritual messages, but they didn’t know if it was due to environmental issues, and there was no response at all.
They treasured He Cen so much that they couldn't feel at ease as long as the little sword spirit was out of their sight. Fortunately, He Cen was carrying the auspicious Thousand Sound Bell that Bo Lou had given him. The little sword spirit was also smart and used this thing to transmit its voice at the first opportunity.
"Master, I'm fine, don't worry."
Bo Lou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jun Chao had just raised his sword, ready to break into the place violently, but when he heard He Cen's voice, he suddenly calmed down a bit.
"Hehe, are you safe in there? Find a way to get out quickly. Your teacher is worried about you."
There should be a little time difference between the space where He Cen is and they are. Once the sound is transmitted, it cannot be responded to immediately. It will take more than a minute for it to be transmitted.
The waiting time always makes people anxious. He Cen also knew that they must be worried about him, but he had already entered the blessed land of the cave, and it might not be so easy to get out.
Leaning against the Thousand Sound Bell, he replied, "Master, don't worry. The owner of this place wanted to let me in. It's fate, isn't it? I'll look around to see if I can find some treasures. The exit has been blocked, so I have to find another way out. Please be patient."
After he finished speaking, he touched the cute little silver bell on his waist, thinking that Bo Lou had really given him a good treasure.
Originally, this auspicious Thousand Sound Bell was prepared for him in order to defeat the rebel, but he didn't expect that he would encounter it directly at that time and this thing was not used. But now it has come in handy.
He Cen knocked on the bell lightly, "Don't be afraid, now that we are here, let's go for a walk."
In the past, He Cen was always accompanied by several big men, and he seldom acted alone. When this happened suddenly, He Cen actually felt a little guilty.
No one knows the origin of the owner of this ancient tomb. After entering, the space inside is quite large, but it doesn’t look as warm as spring. It doesn’t look like a beautiful paradise, but a bit eerie and scary. It is probably a cave left behind by some former demon or ghost cultivator.
Somehow, He Cen, a sword spirit without attributes, was allowed in. He couldn't get out from the entrance, so He Cen had no choice but to go inside.
Fortunately, the auspicious Thousand Sound Bell could transmit sound, so he was not particularly scared.
Because of the special environment and the absence of his master, He Cen felt a little uneasy, so he summoned the sword. Although he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core now, with the original divine sword in his hand, the sword spirit's aura was not inferior at all.
While looking for an exit, he searched for treasures left by the owner of the cave.
The overall layout here is actually quite similar to an ancient tomb, with many mechanical puppets. After passing through them, there are still three doors to test.
He Cen couldn't find the exit and could only push forward one level at a time. The past ten years had accumulated experience that made up for his lack of physical training and swordplay. He Cen now not only had a strong mind, but also had an excellent physical condition.
The puppets arranged by the cave master were far inferior to those made by Wen Qing. With He Cen's original magic sword in hand, he had infinite power and was able to travel safely along the way.
However, these three doors appear to have strange shapes. Each of them is simple and heavy, with different patterns carved on them, which makes them look quite intimidating.
He had been reporting the progress to Jun Chao and the other two. After he finished describing it to his masters, Jun Chao and the others were also trying to guess what it was.
Before the three of them could come to a conclusion, they heard He Cen's voice coming from the other end, "Call the soldiers and generals, ride horses to fight, big soldiers and generals, small soldiers and generals... whoever is called will be selected!"
