Chapter 57 The Coffin in the Hall

Mountains full of poisons, dead valleys, deep caves, empty underground palaces, all of which indicate that this place is by no means a good place to go.

Since arriving at the boundary of this mountain, Zhou Cheng has not found any living things other than poisons. Even there were no human traces in the caves and palaces, and no monks were found.

But Zhou Cheng can be sure that this is the mountain gate of the Demon Sect. Only here, thousands of miles away, is very unusual. Since the corpse demon sect carries a magic word, it must not be a normal practice sect, so the residence of this sect will certainly not be selected in a beautiful environment like ordinary sects.

Because he was afraid of shocking the monks of the Demon Sect, Zhou Cheng did not dare to scan with his mind. He could only observe the palace below with his naked eyes and try to find the most important place. In Zhou Cheng, valuable things are often placed in a safer or most secret place. However, he could not scan with divine thoughts. How could Zhou Cheng know where the most secret and the most important of this huge palace was, so he simply went straight to the most obvious building in the palace, which was the Wanfa Hall.

This Wanfa Hall is more than ten meters high, magnificent and magnificent. The thick white jade columns are arranged in a row, and the same steps made of white jade go straight to the door of the hall, with a total of 19 steps. The top of the hall is golden glazed tiles, and the walls of the hall seem to be made of a dark red jade cut into pieces of jade bricks. There are eight doors, each of which has hollow patterns and carvings, which are extremely exquisite. These exquisite wooden doors exude a faint fragrance and seem to be made of some kind of fragrant wood.

A few tens of meters above the hall is a pearl inlaid on the top of the stone wall of the underground space. The hall shines brightly, so the hall is extremely conspicuous in the whole dark underground space.

Zhou Cheng quietly landed on the steps of the hall, and then stretched out a tentacle to push the door open. However, just as soon as the tentacle touched the door, Zhou Cheng took it back in an instant.

It turned out that Zhou Cheng felt an invisible barrier in front of the wooden door when the tentacles were untied. Feeling the invisible barrier, Zhou Cheng immediately knew that this thing must have a special effect. It may be a spell to isolate the inside of the hall, or it may be a spell to call the police.

But Zhou Cheng was exposed to this kind of seal and array spell for the first time, and how could he know what the barrier was just now? Fortunately, this split is a semi-demon body and has strong immunity to some spells, arrays and seals, so the tentacles can directly cross the barrier without causing any change.

"It seems that I'm lucky. This hall is indeed a heavy place. Maybe you will find something good in it!"

After seeing that there was no change around him, Zhou Cheng was finally relieved and secretly happy, but he took into account the invisible barrier outside the hall. Although it has just caused no change, it is uncertain what the consequences will be if you try again. In desperation, he had to release a trace of spirit and slowly explore the hall.

Sure enough, when the mind is about a few inches in front of the hall, it will block it. In the feeling of the mind, the barrier is like a solid wall, and the mind can't reach the hall through this barrier at all. The divine thought swam back and forth like a snake on the invisible barrier, trying to find a gap to drill into the hall. However, after a moment, he searched all around the hall, but Zhou Cheng found that the invisible barrier surrounded the whole hall tightly, from the sky to the bottom to the ground.

Since he can't know the situation in the hall and can't crack the seal spell in the hall, Zhou Cheng only put his tentacle into the barrier again to determine whether the split can really pass through the seal spell without triggering any changes.

After three or five times in a row, he found that it was really okay. Zhou Cheng suddenly became energetic. He gently pushed the door open a fine crack, and then his whole body turned into a long one and drilled into the hall. The reason why Zhou Cheng can make his body slender is that this split was originally made of the body of an octopus monster, so it has characteristics similar to molluscs, which can shrink his body to a small size to pass through a space much smaller than himself.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhou Cheng couldn't wait to glance at the space in the hall. The space of this hall is hundreds of square meters, and there are nine steps at the end of the hall, but the steps are a high platform, just as high as the ancient emperors placed dragon chairs.

But what is placed on this high platform is not a dragon chair or a legal platform, but a huge coffin. The coffin is dark, three meters long, nearly one meter wide, and more than half a person high. There are countless gold, silver and red patterns on the surface of the dark coffin.

Just a glance, Zhou Cheng knew that those patterns were definitely not for decoration. Those patterns were all dense charms, and the three pigments of gold, silver and red were not really ordinary pigments, but materials of many precious ritual weapons. However, these materials are not used to practice magic weapons, but to write spells to enhance the power of spells. This is simply an extreme waste, just like feeding pigs with hundreds of ginseng and watering the ground with oil.

Looking at this huge coffin, Zhou Cheng couldn't wait to immediately go forward and take away all the charms on it. But in the end, he did not do so, because the charm written with those special paints on the coffin had become a whole and turned into a magic array. Unless the magic circle is broken, those charms can never be removed.

And this hall with coffins is obviously very strange. If the monks here are shocked by breaking the magic circle, how can Zhou Cheng successfully find those ten thousand ghost flags? However, although Zhou Cheng did not break the magic array, he still came to the coffin after looking at the hall. Because only the coffin in the hall looks a little abnormal.

The coffin has not been sealed. There is a small gap between the lid of the coffin and the body of the coffin. Through this gap, it can be seen that the interface is very smooth, and it seems that the coffin is often opened. Zhou Cheng stretched out a tentacle and gently rolled up the lid of the coffin and looked into it.

The strange thing is that the coffin is empty, and there is no imaginary body, and there is only a small bead in it. This bead is the size of a thumb, and you can't see what it is made of. It is transparent and shaped like glass.

Although this bead is not what it is, since there is only one thing in the hall, Zhou Cheng will certainly not let it go, so he rolled the bead in his tentacles and extended his mind to it.

"Oh! What a strange thing?" Zhou Cheng couldn't help marveling when he gently touched the beads.

Zhou Cheng was amazed not because he found out what a peerless treasure this bead was, but because he could not find out the wonder of this thing at all, or that he could not really extend his mind to this bead at all.

The real situation is that Zhou Cheng has indeed extended his mind to the beads, but at the moment the mind is connected to the beads, he suddenly lost his connection with Zhou Cheng, as if he had been swallowed up into the beads, but when his thoughts were taken back, there was no reduction.

After trying more than a dozen times in a row, Zhou Cheng was sure that the bead did not devour his mind, because he did not feel any discomfort. Mind is directly related to the soul, or the mind is the product of a certain form of the soul. Both mind and mind are the same, but the two are slightly different, both of which are the spiritual senses of monks.

It's just that the mind is biased towards reality. Although it is invisible, it is qualitative and can change substances. It is often used to practice magic weapons or identify the physical properties of materials.

The divine idea is illusory and ethereal, but it can map the real existence of the outside world to the spirit of monks, so it is often used for search and exploration.

If his mind is swallowed up more than ten times in a row, even if Zhou Cheng will not suffer any great harm, he will at least be a little mentally depressed. However, Zhou Cheng did not find himself any discomfort, so he concluded that the bead had no characteristic of devouring his mind. But in this way, Zhou Cheng not only did not solve the puzzle, but was more curious about the beads.

"Since this bead has not devoured my mind, why do I lose my sense every time I touch it?"

Unbe puzzled, Zhou Cheng had to put down his curiosity for the time being, but it was obviously impossible for him to let go of such a strange thing, but he did not have human hands and feet. It would not be a problem for those tentacles to roll up this small beads for the time being, but in case of carelessness, the beads would fall off. Finally, Zhou Cheng had to swallow it into his stomach and try not to think that it was picked up from a coffin.

Just after Zhou Cheng swallowed the bead into his stomach, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a group of people and beasts walked towards the hall.

"Bad! Wasn't it discovered?" Zhou Cheng only had time to hide himself. Those people and beasts had all entered the hall, and the door of the hall was closed again.
