Chapter 265 Corpse Oil Lamp
"ah......"
A howl like a killing pig sounded.
"Senior, have mercy on me! Senior, have mercy on me! I was obsessed for a moment... I know I was wrong! Don't kill me..."
"The younger generation has an eighty-year-old mother above her and a three-year-old baby waiting to be fed..."
The little old man was in the air, his face turned pale with fright and he cried bitterly. The oil lamp in his hand also fell to the ground.
"Noisy!"
Lin Sheng threw the old man out with a flick of his hand. He raised his palm to pick up the oil lamp. Even if the lamp fell to the ground, the oil inside was not spilled.
‘There’s something weird about this lamp. ’
Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the green flame oil lamp in his hand.
The shape of the oil lamp is very ordinary. There are no decorative patterns on the lamp body, but it is covered with black marks.
The wick is composed of several tough tendons of different colors, and the lamp oil is crystal clear, colorless and odorless.
‘Why does this wick look so familiar? ’
Lin Sheng's heart moved slightly. After thinking about it carefully, he was suddenly shocked. This wick was clearly the monk's Spirit Root.
'Using the monk Spirit Root as the wick, then this lamp oil...'
Lin Sheng's face was solemn, and he immediately poured mana into the oil lamp, and the aura of Nascent Soul True Monarch was released at will.
As more mana is poured into it, the momentum of Nascent Soul True Monarch becomes stronger.
‘Sure enough, this lamp oil is the essence of Nascent Soul True Monarch. ’
Lin Sheng's eyes were cold. The aura of the Nascent Soul True Monarch was not emitted by the green flames, but by the lamp oil in it.
He looked at the trembling old man kneeling on the ground and said coldly: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"Returning to the seniors, this junior is Wu Xunjin, the 138th generation descendant of the Xunjin Sect. He came to this Secret Realm two years ago."
"When I first entered Yunmengze, I guessed that there was a big tomb under the water, so I secretly entered the water to..."
The voice paused, and Wu Xunjin raised his head and looked at Lin Sheng, with a bitter look on his face: "Junior really just came down to take a look. I don't want to touch the formation and be taken down by the stone man and imprisoned..."
Lin Sheng frowned slightly: "Come down and take a look? A tomb robber?"
Wu Xunjin shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, senior, our profession is called gold seekers, and we have rules and regulations. We never rob things from tombs, we only borrow things, and we only borrow one thing at a time."
"Hahaha, do you believe this?" Lin Sheng chuckled, as if he only borrowed things.
Wu Xunjin looked bitter: "It is true that there are many Fellow Daoists who cannot stand the temptation of treasures, but the rules are the rules. Borrowing too much will definitely kill someone."
"So now there are fewer and fewer gold-seeking masters. By the younger generation, gold-seeking masters are almost extinct."
"When I came down here, I just wanted to take a look and satisfy my curiosity. I didn't want to find any money or anything to borrow. As a result, I was accidentally caught by the stone man. I hope my senior will investigate this matter clearly."
Lin Sheng smiled: "So, you are the victim."
"Yes, yes, this junior is the victim." Wu Xunjin nodded repeatedly.
"Then this oil lamp is the treasure in the tomb?"
"No, this corpse oil lamp is the treasure of the junior sect and was passed down from our ancestors."
"The treasure of the Zhen Sect? It was passed down from ancestors? Does your ancestor also have the Nascent Soul True Monarch?" Lin Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed away.
Upon seeing this, Wu Xunjin quickly explained: "This and this... are not considered treasures of the sect. They were borrowed from a large tomb by the junior master."
Lin Sheng said coldly: "Where is the big tomb?"
"this......"
Wu Xunjin looked helpless: "The master died early, and the younger generation doesn't know it either."
Lin Sheng sneered: "Is it unclear or unwilling to say?"
Wu Xunjin had a look of fear on his face when he heard this: "Senior, please spare my life. I really don't know this clearly. I know everything and don't dare to deceive my senior."
Lin Sheng shook his head: "I don't believe the one-sided statement. I still need to verify it."
Wu Xunjin trembled when he heard this. He quickly put his head in his hands and said in fear: "Senior, this junior has a disease in his brain and often loses his memory. But he can't stand the soul search. If the soul is searched, this junior will die suddenly."
"If this junior dies, the Gold-Seeking Sect will be completely extinct. Senior, please spare your life, I hope you will show your noble hand."
Lin Sheng smiled indifferently, and the golden light suddenly appeared in his magical eyes. Wu Xunjin immediately fell into confusion.
Countless memory fragments appeared in front of Lin Sheng's eyes. After some inspection, Wu Xunjin was indeed not lying.
However, Lin Sheng did not see the memory of Wu Xunjin's experience in the brass door, and he did not know why.
And there were some things that Wu Xunjin didn’t take the initiative to say. For example, the ‘immortal’ who haunted the Secret Realm was him!
The golden light dissipated and Wu Xunjin gradually came back to his senses. Suddenly he saw Lin Sheng looking at him expressionlessly. He was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly knelt down on the ground.
"Senior, have mercy on me. This junior really didn't hide anything. I told you everything I know."
"Really? Then I ask you, who are the immortals wandering around in the Secret Realm?"
Lin Sheng looked calm, raised his hand, and took a blue water-proof bead from Wu Xunjin's arms. It was only because of this bead that he could dive underwater.
"this......"
Wu Xunjin's face was slightly stunned, and he raised his head cautiously and said, "To tell you what the senior is saying, it's the junior who is pretending to be one, but the junior is not pretending to be an immortal, he just wants to scare off those Rogue Cultivators."
"It's them who regard the juniors as immortals..."
Lin Sheng looked at Wu Xunjin quietly without saying a word. The latter talked to himself for a while, as if he suddenly came to his senses, and quickly took out an ancient book and presented it with both hands.
"Senior, the method of controlling the corpse oil lamp is in this ancient book."
Lin Sheng took a photo of the ancient book and looked through it, then silently recited the formula and poured mana into the oil lamp.
The green flame exploded instantly, and a faint gray smoke rose from the oil lamp, covering Lin Sheng's body and hiding his figure.
In the gray smoke, only a figure could be vaguely seen.
Lin Sheng's heart moved slightly. The figure in the gray smoke became distorted, and suddenly grew two heads or four extra hands.
Coupled with the momentum of the Nascent Soul True Monarch, it looks truly terrifying and inhuman.
‘This lamp is good for displaying gods and ghosts. ’
Lin Sheng thought to himself and dispersed the spell, and the gray smoke gradually dissipated, revealing his figure.
"I accept this treasure. Do you have any objections?"
"No no."
Wu Xunjin shook his head repeatedly: "The treasures in the world can only be obtained by those who are capable. The corpse oil lamp is of little use in the hands of the younger generation, and can only be carried forward in the hands of the seniors."
Lin Sheng smiled calmly: "You are quite interesting. I am in a good mood. I will spare your life."
"Thank you, senior." Wu Xunjin was overjoyed and quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.
Lin Sheng looked calm: "Let me ask you, what is in this big tomb? You have been in this tomb for two years, but what have you found?"
But this door is open.
When Wu Xunjin was playing tricks just now, he thought that the changes in the Secret Realm had something to do with the underground treasure house.
After walking for a while, another brass gate appeared, blocking the way at the end of the passage.
Wu Xunjin showed hesitation: "Senior, based on this junior's understanding of the tomb, this place should not be a big tomb."
Seeing that Lin Sheng didn't take it seriously, Wu Xunjin stopped talking and hurriedly kept up. Now that Gold Core Perfected Being was in the way, he no longer had any fear in his heart.
Wu Xunjin looked embarrassed: "This junior is in a low realm and I dare not wander around among them."
"Danger?" Wu Xunjin looked confused; "Senior, I dare to ask, is there any danger in the outside world? Is it those Demon Sect disciples?"
"this......"
"Oh?" Lin Sheng looked surprised.
"this......"
Lin Sheng frowned slightly. He really hadn't thought about the prison. After all, there were so many ways to imprison monks, so why bother building a prison underwater.
Wu Xunjin quickly caught up and said with a smile: "This junior was also anxious for a moment, so he did such a stupid thing."
"So you hid at the door for two years?" Lin Sheng smiled hoarsely. Wu Xunjin was also a talented person. There was no aura in this cave. It must have been extremely difficult in the past two years.
After checking Wu Xunjin's memory, Lin Sheng found that there was no relationship between the two, and he had no clue for a while.
Seeing that Lin Sheng didn't speak, Wu Xunjin didn't dare to ask any more questions. He carefully followed Lin Sheng's pace and looked around with his small eyes.
Wu Xunjin pointed to the cracked brass door as he spoke: "There are many such doors in this cave. These black copper doors are extremely thick and cannot be soaked with magic power, and cannot be used with brute force..."
Wu Xunjin explained: "I originally thought this was a large tomb, but according to my investigation over the past two years, it is too far-fetched to say that this place is a tomb."
Lin Sheng frowned slightly: "What on earth is that? Don't beat around the bush."
The footsteps of the two people echoed in the passage, but nothing happened.
The weak light illuminated the entire passage in a gloomy green color, making it look extremely scary.
"This place could be a prison."
"Senior, I don't know. This junior's sect has a finger extension method, which is specialized in opening such seemingly solid doors."
Upon seeing this, Lin Sheng turned to look at Wu Xunjin behind him: "How did you open this door?"
Wu Xunjin grinned: "Hey, hey, senior, I don't know something. The symbols on these doors are the opening mechanisms."
"Hahaha, if the master of this place really comes, why would he break down the door? Or be scared away by you?" Lin Sheng smiled and walked towards the door.
Lin Sheng didn't care about this and stepped forward directly. As a Gold Core Perfected Being, he could break any mechanism with force.
Lin Sheng nodded slightly and asked doubtfully: "There is no key hole or mechanism on the brass door. How did you open the door?"
Wu Xunjin smiled coquettishly: "Thank you, senior, for rescuing me today. I thought it was the owner of this place who came to find me... so I pretended to be a ghost... I hope you don't take offense to me, senior."
Lin Sheng glanced at Wu Xunjin and didn't say much. He also knew the reason for the inexplicable spicy smell in Secret Realm.
Lin Sheng smiled and said: "You can be considered a blessing in disguise. You have been trapped here for two years and you have avoided the dangers outside."
"Senior, be careful. There may be a trap on the ground. It's best to walk with a sword." Wu Xunjin reminded in a low voice.
"Ordinary monks cannot open it with brute force. For seniors, this kind of black copper door can still be opened."
Wu Xunjin looked proud and stretched out his right little finger. His little finger nail was thin and long, like a cicada's wing.
"Is there anyone alive inside?"
Behind the door is a long and narrow passage. On both sides of the passage, there are torches burning with green flames every ten meters.
