Comprehension: Grinding the Gun

Xu Sanbao was half asleep and half awake when he heard the noise, he opened his eyes vaguely, but saw nothing unusual, so he turned over and fell asleep again.

Zhan Changsheng was so shocked that his eyes were in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that he was in the wilderness, in front of him was an abandoned house, with broken wooden doors, half of which fell to the ground, and half of which hung slanted on the wall.The ground is full of sawdust and dead leaves, broken tables and chairs, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated. I am afraid that there has been no human habitation for a long time.

Regardless of the poor condition of the house, Zhan Long stepped inside, and Zhan Changsheng had to follow, "Where is this?"

Zhan Long could still easily distinguish things in the dark, he grabbed a wooden cabinet in the room and pulled it outwards. The decayed wood immediately collapsed to the ground, sending up waves of smoke and dust, before he said in a deep voice: "This place is far away from Changning." Seventy miles, without your help, I wouldn't be able to use the teleportation technique."

He spread his palms again and said, "Bring eight spirit stones."

Zhan Changsheng had no choice but to take out the storage bag from his bosom, counted eight spirit stones and put them in Zhanlong's hands, he couldn't help sighing secretly, there is a saying among the folks: Poor in literature, rich in martial arts, and rich in wealth, dare not cultivate immortals.

Right now, nearly a thousand taels of silver have been broken, and repairing the magic gun in the future will consume an incalculable amount.Zhan Changsheng suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier than Mount Tai, and he didn't know where the way out was.

Of course, Zhan Long doesn't know his troubles, if he knew, he might just sneer at his short-sightedness.

He took the spirit stone, found shallow dents in eight places on the earth wall, and pasted the spirit stone on it.

The dent seemed to generate suction, easily absorbing the spirit stone to the wall.Immediately, the eight spiritual stones lighted up with a faint white light, and there was a slight silky light connecting with each other, and they were intertwined in an instant to form an eight-diagram pattern.But seeing the lush vegetation, and from the emerald green crowns, a corner of the bright red eaves is exposed.

Zhan Changsheng was dumbfounded, but Zhan Long had already stepped inside and stood at the entrance waiting for him, "Leave quickly."

Zhan Changsheng had no choice but to follow his instructions, and then stepped over the threshold, and the entrance quietly disappeared, turning into a wall painted white.

A gravel path winds forward from the white sand, bypasses several lush osmanthus trees, and leads to nowhere.

Zhanlong took a step, and he followed. This courtyard is extremely deep and beautiful, with flowers blooming and leafy everywhere, and fountains gurgling.The two spent half a cup of tea before arriving at the red-tiled eaves they saw earlier.

However, this building occupies quite a large area, which is as big as a basketball court that Zhan Changsheng had seen in his previous life.The red lacquer gate has nine horizontal lines and eight vertical lines, with a total of 72 golden door nails.At this moment, the door is locked, and there is no other entrance.

Zhanlong frowned, and said in a deep voice, "How dare you play such a trick." He raised his right palm, a black light flashed, and went straight to the door, but it was bounced away half an inch away from the lock, the white light flashed, and the black light flashed. smash.

After losing one blow, Zhan Long's face turned even paler, revealing a look of helplessness.

Zhan Changsheng asked just now: "But there is a mechanism to solve?"

Zhan Long nodded slightly, "This is called a triple lock. The first lock is at the entrance. If there is no spirit stone, you will not be able to enter through the door; the second lock is in the courtyard. If you don't understand the formation, you will get lost in it and wander until you die; the third lock But on this door."

"If it can't be opened..."

Zhan Long said: "If you can't open it, you can go back the same way, but you can't get in again in the future. If there is a piece of mine in the building, even if the building is destroyed, you must enter."

Zhan Changsheng carefully inspected it, and noticed something strange at this glance.On the walls on both sides of the gate, there are two recesses that look like shrines, one foot square.

In the two grooves on the left side, there is a statue of a god on it, with a treasure armor and auspicious clouds, a jade belt wrapped around his waist, a thick back and a waist, holding a jade pipa, and he is playing the posture.

There is a fierce tiger under it, although it is only the size of a palm, it is made lifelike, with black fur on a yellow background, two piercing eyes, half-curved forelegs, looking back and howling, revealing four sharp white fangs.

The groove on the right side is empty, and there is a statue of a giant crocodile under it, with green scales all over its body, and its eyes are as bright as topaz, but it looks like it is struggling with its head bowed under pressure.

Zhan Changsheng felt that the god holding the pipa looked very familiar, so he pointed to the statue and asked, "Is this the sea of ​​magical rituals among the four heavenly kings?"

Zhan Long pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There is no such person in the Kingdom of God."

Zhan Changsheng's heart moved, and he made a decision, before Zhan Long stopped him, he raised his hand to touch the ring in the beast's mouth at the door, and knocked lightly three more times.

The door has never been opened, but a delicate black lacquered ancient shelf emerged from the door.

The shelves are densely packed with rare playthings, such as paper, ink, pens and inkstones, abacus, swords, and stone sculptures of soldiers and horses. There are hundreds of them.

Now Zhanlong also saw the clue, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid I have to pick one out of these things."

Zhan Changsheng was silent, but he didn't dare to move, for fear of guessing wrong and losing the opportunity to enter the building.

But Zhan Long said: "You can try it as you like, it's okay if you fail, I will recover my strength in the future, and then I will dismantle it."

Zhan Changsheng couldn't help being dumbfounded, and after a while, he still picked out a white jade exquisite pagoda from the assortment of objects, and placed it in the empty space.

The bogu shelf immediately disappeared, and in a short while, the copper lock of the door clicked and fell by itself.The two vermilion lacquer doors opened slowly, and a refreshing breath gushed out from the door.

Seeing that he was right, Zhan Changsheng couldn't help laughing, and he was about to step in, but was held down by Zhan Long's shoulder.As he was pressing on the wound, Zhan Changsheng was caught off guard and gasped in pain, Zhan Long tore off his shirt when he saw this, with a loud bang, the cloth ruptured, exposing the cotton wrapped around the boy's shoulders.

Zhan Long's face darkened, and he said angrily, "Who was hurt?"

Zhan Changsheng pulled back his clothes, and said softly: "It's okay to have occasional skin injuries in the ring. Let's take a look at this building first..."

Before the words fell, the young man suddenly flew into the air, and was hugged by Zhan Long. Then he took steady steps and entered the building.

Zhan Changsheng was extremely embarrassed, so he could only say: "I hurt my shoulder, but I never hurt my legs, so it's okay to walk by myself."

But Zhan Long said: "Shut up." After a few steps, he was already standing in the lobby on the first floor.

The lobby is spacious and bright, with rows of reception tables and chairs. The windows are bright and clean, without any dust.

The two of them glanced around and saw nothing unusual, then went into the next wing room to check, and went around the first floor like this, as if someone was diligently cleaning it every day, it was as clean as new, even the mattress in the guest room seemed to be newly replaced.

The two of them went up to the second floor, and saw a study room, a clean room for meditation and practice, and an alchemy room, but the fire under the alchemy furnace had already been extinguished, and it was cold and idle for an unknown amount of time.

Zhan Long still hugged him across his arms, while inspecting, he asked: "How do you know the secret of that mechanism?"

Zhan Changsheng sighed secretly, and said just now: "There is a couplet in my hometown, which coincides with those four objects. It is: Heavenly King Gai Dihu, Pagoda Town River Demon."

Zhan Long said: "I've traveled the Three Realms for countless years, but I've never heard of it." Then he didn't pursue further.

Zhan Changsheng was even more certain that the former owner of this place might have come from the Tang Kingdom like him, such a fate is rare.

Seeing the mountain of books in the study, he was moved, and was about to struggle to get off the ground, "Maybe there is a secret exercise that I can use."

But Zhan Long didn't let go, "Just now the spiritual consciousness has swept through, but there is nothing useful. Now your meridians are blocked, if you can't refine Qi into your body, even the immortals will be useless."

Zhan Changsheng was hit again, and he couldn't help but feel dejected, and even lost some interest in hunting for treasures in the secret realm.

The two of them went up to the third floor again, but the third floor was full of warehouses, one room had the word "Dan" written on it, but the rows of wooden shelves were empty.In another room, the word "vessel" is written, and there are dozens of utensils piled up, with a dark and moist light.

Just as Zhan Long put the boy down, he took out a snow-white jacket that was as thin as silk from the pile of utensils, "This wind feather jacket can only withstand the blow of Jindan, it is barely usable, take it and put it on."

Zhan Changsheng heard his words with disgust, and couldn't help but refute in his heart.If this treasure can block Jin Dan's blow, no one can hurt him right now.If this is the case, but still dislike it, it is really not enough.

He took the thin cloth shirt in his hands, and asked again: "Zhan Long, your injury is still unhealed, why don't you wear it."

Zhan Long said: "It's useless to me." He groped for a while on the Duobaoge, pressed the mechanism, and took out a long crystal clear ice box from the hidden compartment.

The cold air of the ice box rushed towards his face, making Zhan Changsheng shiver involuntarily, Zhan Long said again: "Put it on quickly."

Zhan Changsheng endured the coldness in the room, put the Fengling clothes under his outer shirt, and felt the chill recede.This middle coat can not only protect against the enemy, but also protect against cold and heat, it is indeed a treasure.

Zhan Long had already opened the ice box, and in an instant snow-white flames surged out, engulfing Zhan Long from head to toe.

Before Zhan Changsheng could open his mouth, the flame faded away completely, and was absorbed by Zhan Long.

He took out a black wooden hairpin from the jade box, put it in his arms, disassembled the remaining magic weapons one by one, took off the metal parts, and immediately said: "Follow me."

The two entered the third warehouse again, and the word "Ling" was written on the door.

On the ground in the warehouse, Lingshi piled up into hillocks, making Zhan Changsheng's eyes widen and he gasped.

But Zhan Long frowned and scolded: "It's so poor."

As soon as he raised his hand, the sleeves of his robe fluttered, and the spirit stone was divided into three piles. The largest pile was jade-white and dull, while the smallest pile was shimmering with crystal light, as clear as crystal.

Zhanlong said: "There are 660 five low-grade spirit stones, and 170 seven medium-grade spirit stones. They are useless to me. You just take them. Keep the six high-grade spirit stones to help me heal my wounds."

Zhan Changsheng was not as polite as him, he took out the storage bag, and when he thought about it, he put all the piles of low-grade and middle-grade spirit stones into it.

Zhan Long collected the high-grade spirit stones, and took Zhan Changsheng to the clean room on the second floor where he practiced.

The four walls and the top and bottom of the room are all made of Qinggang stone, which isolates the interference of foreign objects.There was nothing there, only two futons woven from unknown spiritual grass.

Zhanlong held a spirit stone in his left hand, sat cross-legged on the futon, raised his hand and called, "Come here."

Zhan Changsheng hesitated and said, "Could it be... again..."

Zhan Long said: "Exactly."

Zhan Changsheng could only take two steps closer before Zhan Long grabbed his wrist and dragged him into his arms to sit down.
