Chapter 3243: 3245【Great harvest】

“Senior brother, you are so awesome!” the old foreigner praised.

Xiang Nan didn't say anything. He stepped out of the cave and was suddenly shocked again.

I saw a laurel tree in front of me, with sparse branches and leaves like crowns. It grew very densely and covered an unknown number of miles.

It is truly a wonder that there is such a big tree growing in this dark underground place.

The old foreigner was equally dumbfounded when he saw this scene. This was the first time he saw such a strange tree.

“Brother, why are there trees here?” the old foreigner asked in confusion.

"The osmanthus tree belongs to yin, so it was planted here to connect the two worlds of yin and yang." Xiang Nan explained, "Ordinary trees grow by relying on sunlight, but this tree can make a living by sucking yin energy. Just like the legend It’s the same as the cassia tree in the tree. This tree has been planted for hundreds of thousands of years, so it can grow so huge.”

“That’s it.” The old foreigner nodded, took a closer look, and immediately exclaimed, “Brother, look, why are all the faces on this tree?”

It can be seen that the bumps and convexities on the tree body all form the shape of a person's head and face. The eyebrows, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are vaguely distinguishable, and the facial features are complete. They are very similar to human faces, but the expressions on the tree body's faces are like ghosts and gods. , the face is twisted and horrifying.

"This tree is ominous, don't go near it." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

The old foreigner nodded immediately. The more I look at this tree, the more evil it becomes, and I wish I could stay as far away as possible.

After Xiang Nan and the old foreigner stayed away from the laurel tree, they carefully searched the cave. Soon they found four iron buildings surrounding the cave.

They are all the same in size and shape. They are all two-story buildings with cornices and tiles and windows. When you look at them under the trees, you feel that they have washed away your worldly thoughts and have a sense of being out of the world, not like the realm of the human world.

But there was no light inside the building. The entire pavilion was pitch black, even the tiles and window edges were pitch black. This fairyland-like scenery coexists with the gloomy atmosphere among the old osmanthus trees. The strong contrast is extremely inconsistent.

“Brother, what are these buildings for?” the old foreigner asked curiously.

“It should be a place where ancient alchemists stored elixirs and classics. The Muchen Bead we are looking for may be among them.” Xiang Nan explained.

“Really, that’s great.” When the old foreigner heard this, he was very excited.

Xiang Nan also came to the iron tower with him, and saw that the door was hung with a dog-head lock used to lock the city in the Song Dynasty. The teeth of the lock were closed like canine teeth, and it was impossible to open it without a special key.

If it were anyone else, he would probably have to use shovels, hammers, saws, etc. to hit hard, but Xiang Nan is the leader of the Xiaoyao sect, and the Xiaoyao sect is quite good at civil engineering.

For him, opening this kind of lock is even easier than pulling a zipper.

Xiang Nan then pulled off a strand of hair, tied it into a knot, and pushed it into the keyhole. After a few pokes, the lock clicked open.

“Senior brother, you are so awesome!” the old foreigner said with admiration.

Xiang Nan smiled, opened the door and entered the iron building.

Looking up and looking around, I saw that the first floor upon entering was the main hall, and even the floor inside was paved with cast iron.

There is a bare-footed jade statue in the hall, which should be the King of Medicine in the Immortal Way. The statue is not high, only about two feet, but its whole body is shiny and smooth.

Seeing this statue of Medicine King, Xiang Nan knew that there should be precious medicinal materials hidden in this building.

Sure enough, when I walked into the back room, I saw that it was full of porcelain bottles and jade altars filled with medicines. Some of them were tightly sealed, and the medicinal properties of the mushrooms and mushrooms inside were still there.

See words like lion claw, spider treasure, snake eye, dog treasure, basket treasure written on the gold medal. They are all inner elixirs and stones of various spiritual creatures.

These are all precious medicinal materials that are only available in the Ouchi Imperial Palace. Even the smallest spider treasure inside is the size of a walnut and is in the shape of a black pill. It is a rare and rare panacea. Xiang Nan knew that these medicinal materials were rare, and many of them would be difficult to buy even if he spent his whole life, so he collected them all immediately.

After cleaning the first floor, the two immediately went to the second floor.

 He raised his foot and opened the iron door, and suddenly saw a woman with heavy makeup standing in the room. The old foreigner was so frightened that he almost rolled down the stairs.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan supported him and saved him from disaster.

“Is this a human or a ghost?” the old foreigner asked in surprise.

“It’s neither a human nor a ghost, it’s a paper humanoid.” Xiang Nan explained.

"Paper man?!" The old foreigner was quite surprised. He took a closer look with a torch and saw that this man was really lifelike and did not look like a paper man.

Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't believe it.

The paper figure was instantly shattered into powder, leaving a cloud of gray mist in place.

“Oh my god, it’s really a paper man!” The old foreigner was stunned. “Brother, you’re really good. You can see it at a glance.”

"I just saw it too." Xiang Nan explained, "Junior brother, I know who the person was sitting at the entrance of the passage just now."

“Who?” the old foreigner asked curiously.

"The Guanshan Taibao of the Ming Dynasty." Xiang Nan explained, "They are good at driving paper men and paper dogs to get into the gaps in the door wall to steal. Their control principle is not to attach the soul to the paper, but to drive a large number of insects and ants to steal. I don’t know the specific situation.”

"Brother, you know a lot." After hearing this, the old foreigner couldn't help but admire.

After all, he is a senior brother. He is very capable and knows a lot. You will learn a lot by following him.

“Okay, let’s do the work.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

Xiang Nan and Lao Yangren robbed all the four iron towers respectively. Although they collected a lot of elixirs, medicinal materials, ancient books, and classics, they still had no whereabouts of the Muchen Bead.

"Let's go up first and come back later." Xiang Nan said to the old foreigner.

They have already gained a lot this time.

The old foreigner nodded.

He and Xiang Nan swept all four iron buildings aside. They found more than a dozen pairs of human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum alone, and filled their backpacks full. They had to go back, otherwise they would really not be able to hold on.

Xiang Nan and the old foreigner immediately carried their backpacks and returned along the original road.

As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I heard a chaos in the back hall, with cries, screams, gunshots... and the light of fire could be seen.

“What’s going on?” the old foreigner asked in surprise.

Xiang Nan flashed his body and rushed into the palace. He saw the Xiling soldiers and Luo Sihai's engineers being besieged by the giant centipedes.

Several martyrs and engineers were bitten by centipedes and are being rapidly melted away. Their bodies seemed to be covered with candle oil, their arms and flesh were all ulcerated, and pus was flowing from their mouths and noses.

Seeing this scene, the old foreigners were stunned. They didn't expect those centipedes to be so poisonous.

The remaining people either ran away or panicked, while Chen Yulou was busy rescuing Kunlun Molec, who was being crushed underneath by a large beam.
