Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

However, this skill often becomes a tool for quack doctors to defraud money, and true practitioners are extremely rare. After all, this is a thorny road that requires abandoning the physical body and relying on the spiritual body to seek the way to ascend to the immortal class.

Once you enter the intangible form (i.e. the spiritual state), although you can easily pass through hard obstacles and see scenes that cannot be captured by the mortal eye, the danger also increases simultaneously.

After all, the human body is accustomed to relying on physical forms for activities and knows very little about the rules of spiritual bodies.

Once out of physical control, the slightest negligence could lead to the shattering of the soul.

What’s worse is that compared to physical injuries which are easy to heal, damage to the soul is extremely difficult to repair, and some injuries may even remain permanently.

After mastering the basic level of the soul-leaving method, Xu Nuo still had reservations in his heart, thinking that this kind of practice method was too biased and weird.

But considering the convenience and special insights it provides at critical moments, he believes that it can be a great help as long as it is used carefully.

After all, this method can help us observe hidden truths and avoid many conventional constraints and obstacles.

To Xu Nuo, this huge corpse cinnamon tree is not useless.

The leaves and sap of the corpse cinnamon can be used as feed for raising evil poisonous insects, and its branches can also be made into special containers for holding poisonous insects.

However, after some thought, Xu Nuo felt that although this corpse cinnamon was an evil thing, it was a rare and unique existence in the world.

It is almost impossible to cut down a tree and then plant another one of this size.

The wisest thing to do is to let it continue to grow where it is.

This way, he can collect the leaves, sap and some branches he needs while also retaining the main trunk.

After making the decision, Xu Nuo was no longer polite.

He drew out his Broken Moon Sword and neatly cut off several branches as thick as his thighs. He quickly put the branches and leaves into the Sun and Moon Space in the pot, without wasting the sap that overflowed from the branches.

Then, he carefully selected several intact jade bottles, glass bowls and other containers, put the sap of the corpse cinnamon into them, and also collected it into the sun and moon space in the pot.

In the sun and moon space in the pot, time is completely controlled by Xu Nuo, so there is no worry about the cinnamon tree sap deteriorating. Even if hundreds or thousands of years have passed in the real world, it is as fresh as if it had just been taken out of the tree.

After doing all this, Xu Nuo immediately summoned Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and others on the tree to come down.

Soon, everyone descended to the base of the trunk of the huge osmanthus tree.

Under the huge crown of the corpse laurel, there was a layer of mist about one meter high. Although it was not thick, it added a bit of haziness and mystery to this area where yin energy gathered.

The space below is slightly smaller than Danjing.

There are four attics that look almost identical around the corpse osmanthus tree, with no obvious difference in height, layout or style. They fully display the style of the Song Dynasty - flying eaves, brackets, and fish-scale tiles on the roof, which looks quite ethereal.

However, neither Xu Nuo, Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, nor Hong Girl could easily appreciate the scene before them, because these attics were pitch black, without a single ray of light coming through. Their appearance was more like a layer of black paint on a coffin, which was extremely depressing.

In addition, the cold aura released by the corpse osmanthus itself makes the entire space chilly.

Xu Nuo knew that these seemingly strange attics must be hiding a lot of treasures, but with Que Ting's divine eyes, he found that they all carried a hint of evil, so he was extremely cautious when approaching them.

"The aesthetic taste of the Song Dynasty emperors is really simple. Why are all the residential attics painted black?" As an experienced tomb robber, Chen Yulou has studied Song Dynasty tombs, but he was still confused when he saw the black attic in front of him.

“This is not an attic for people to live in, to be exact, it’s a kind of loft for hiding.

"

After hearing Xu Nuo's words, Chen Yulou was obviously confused, but the partridge whistle next to him vaguely sensed some meaning.

"Master Xu, do you mean that these attics are actually the Medicine King Pavilion where the emperors of the Song Dynasty used to store elixirs and treasures? As far as I know, the building materials of the Medicine King Pavilion are very unique. I wonder what material this one is made of?"

Although Partridge Whistle is a mountain-moving Taoist priest, whose identity was originally used to cover up treasure hunting in tombs, over the past thousands of years, the descendants of this lineage have a very deep understanding of Taoist knowledge, even far surpassing many real Taoist priests.

The so-called Yaowang Pavilion is the place where ancient Taoists stored alchemy raw materials and precious medicinal materials. Not only is its shape and structure unique, but the building materials used are also often unique.

Although the attic in front of him was dark and difficult to see, he was very curious about the specific source of its materials.

After listening to Partridge Whistle's explanation, Xu Nuo echoed:

"The building materials of these Medicine King Pavilions are indeed extraordinary. We will know the clues after a try."

At this time, Chen Yulou could no longer wait and quickly stepped forward, drew out his small sword, and knocked lightly on the door of one of the attics with the back of the knife.

In an instant, the clear echo of metal and stone reached everyone's ears.

After hearing this voice, Chen Yulou carefully felt the feeling on his hand and was immediately surprised.

“These buildings are all made of cast iron!”

After a moment, his expression changed from surprise to excitement.

"Master Xu, you said before that there was a treasure hidden in here. Now it seems to be true." "Look, this attic is made of cast iron inside and out. It is very solid."

"Plus, it is locked from the inside. Its structure is exactly like the mechanism in an ancient tomb."

"If it wasn't for storing treasures, why would His Majesty the Emperor go to so much trouble to build an iron attic?" Chen Yulou's words made the strong men behind him excited.

This group of people have simple minds. Whenever they encounter treasure, they cannot control themselves, just like sharks smelling blood.

At this time, Miss Hong hurriedly reminded, "Captain Chen, you just said that this iron pavilion must be full of hidden weapons." "The material of the pavilion is solid, and the hidden weapons must be extremely sharp. Please be careful."

Chen Yulou frowned slightly when he heard this, what Hong Girl said was true.

The Xiangling tribe is well-known for their use of brute force to break things open, and iron hammers, axes, long shovels and heavy hoes are their daily work tools.

Moreover, since he acquired some unique skills, he is like a tiger with wings. He can destroy any mountain he finds and uncover any tomb he finds.

But when it comes to using meticulous skills to defuse the traps and plots in ancient tombs, in Chen Yulou's eyes, this is something that the tomb raiders or the hidden forces in Honeycomb Mountain are good at.

He immediately gestured to his men, "Engineer Battalion, prepare your firearms and stand by!"

But Xu Nuo stopped him immediately and said in a deep voice:

"Boss Chen, please don't be impatient."

"Valuable items hidden in the attic are likely to be very fragile."

"If we use explosives to demolish the cast iron building, the impact will inevitably affect the interior, and the loss of the treasure will outweigh the gain."

Chen Yulou, who was originally full of confidence, calmed down after Xu Nuo's reminder.

Although these blasting experts are good at breaking down mountains and tombs, there are countless cases where ancient tombs have collapsed due to unbalanced control of gunpowder.

The structure of this cast iron building is far more complex and exquisite than ordinary stone tombs.

If a reckless person who doesn't know how to control himself acts recklessly, there is a high possibility that the entire building will be blown to pieces.

However, if firearms are not used and instead tools such as crowbars, hammers and axes are relied upon forcibly, it is inevitable that hidden weapons inside the attic will be triggered.

It will inevitably cause a lot of losses, which is indeed a difficult situation.

Who would have thought that after hearing this proposal, Xu Nuo just smiled and said, "Everyone, just wait and see what I can do."

After saying that, he took a few steps forward, slowly tapped the surface of the cast iron building with the Broken Moon Sword, and at the same time listened attentively to the movement.

Compared to Chen Yulou who could only rely on his understanding of the soil and qi to analyze the direction and pattern, Xu Nuo's secret method of Celestial Ear was many times more sophisticated.

Chen Yulou was only able to capture the general layout of the attic: several independent rooms and their general arrangement.

But there are still doubts about the details.

On the other hand, Xu Nuo had already figured out the distribution of the mechanisms in the iron attic clearly.

He knew exactly where the hidden crossbow mechanisms were set, where the nail boards and thorns were laid, and even the exact locations of the traps in various levels.

Then, she immediately used her Broken Moon Knife to sketch out a simple structural diagram of the attic on the ground, and clearly marked the parts that might be potentially dangerous.

Chen Yulou, Queqiao Shao and others were amazed after seeing this.

You have to know that each of them has different auditory abilities.

Although Partridge Whistle was born with the spirit of a night watchdog and had sharp hearing, and could accurately capture the slightest movement, he was still inferior to the ability to perceive the fine internal structure and detect hidden mechanisms through pure hearing.

At this moment, a 3D image of an iron attic appeared in Xu Nuo's mind like a projection.

When she drew the structure of the attic, Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and others all gasped at the same time.

"This emperor is too vicious."

"This attic is filled with traps. Once you enter, you'll be killed to pieces in less than a quarter of an hour."

"How can we deal with this?"

Chen Yulou, Queqiao Shao and others gathered in the open space in front of the iron attic, thinking hard about how to crack the complicated mechanism inside.

However, at this moment, Xu Nuo had quietly walked to the front of the iron attic. He raised his finger slightly, and a poisonous insect instantly appeared in his palm.

This Sky-Splitting Gu is emerald green all over, with golden patterns interwoven on its surface. Its six-petaled jaws are as sharp as blades, emitting a crushing force.

Not only does it have the ability to drill wood and split stone, but after years of evolution, it has even reached the level of being able to break metal.

The wrought iron used to cast this iron attic was designed to prevent it from rusting in the bone-chilled underground palace.

But these materials are nothing but a piece of cake for the Sky-Splitting Gu.

Not only that, the Sky-Splitting Gu can also release an ability called "Air Slash", which can easily destroy those hidden weapon mechanisms and cut off the crossbow bowstrings.

Following Xu Nuo's order, the Sky-Splitting Gu quickly drilled into the iron attic.

A strange sound then rang out in the attic - there was the sound of a mechanism starting up and turning, as well as the sound of a device being destroyed and shattered.

After a while, about an incense stick of time had passed, there was a click, and the lock of the door fell off. Accompanied by a harsh friction sound, the heavy door slowly opened by itself.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle, who were discussing strategy, saw this scene, their eyes widened and they stood there in a daze for a long time without saying a word.

Xu Nuo calmly stepped into the iron attic, and what came into view was the hall on the first floor.

There are several damaged bows and crossbows scattered here. If you look closely, you can find that their bowstrings have just been cut, and the broken parts are obviously different from other parts.
