Chapter 461 The Legacy of the Past
The arrow in Tianyou's hand is not a metal product. It looks cold, but it is very light when you buy it. The surface feels a little cool, rather than the coldness of the metal.
"Is this... made of bones?" Tianyou looked uncertain with the arrow.
Hu Qingxuan took it, chased it with his hands first, then shook his head and said, "It's a tooth, the teeth of some kind of monster."
"What monster's teeth are so sharp?"
"A lot, as long as the demon power is strong enough, any demon clan's teeth can be so sharp." Hu Niu said, and deliberately opened her mouth and pointed her own little tiger teeth. "For example, my teeth are very powerful. Even if it is a thick iron armor, I can easily bite it through."
Hu Qingxuan shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be high enough demon power. Some demon races are born with better teeth. Perhaps their cultivation level is still at the level of monsters, and their teeth are already stronger than those of the big monsters."
"What about this?" Tianyou asked.
Hu Qingxuan thought for a while and said, "It should be the teeth of some kind of low-level monster. Before the Battle of Catastrophe, although there are many demon clans, any tribe is the same. The stronger the individual, the fewer the number. The number of demon clans at the level of the big monster or above must be small, and their status is relatively high. Even if the teeth of our demon clan can be regenerated, no one will pull their teeth to polish the arrows without any trouble. Besides, there is no remnant of demon power on the arrow. Obviously, it is not based on the sharpening of demon power, but is born so hard."
I thought I had picked up a treasure, but I didn't expect it to be just a special monster tooth. Tianyou was a little disappointed. But if there wasn't, there would be no. At least this arrow is still useful. Tianyou's own archery skills are very good, and the compound bow in his hand is also a magical weapon. This is still a whiteboard bow that has not been transformed with weapon refining technology. With this arrow, Tianyou suddenly wanted to upgrade his bow. Of course, the premise is to learn the weapon refining technology first.
Bypassing the copper furnace that had no research value, Tianyou watched around and was soon attracted by a pile of broken wood chips beside the broken wall. Of course, what attracted him was not the wood chips, but something under the wood side.
Tianyou's spiritual sense was so powerful that it could even make images directly in his eyes, so any unconcealed spiritual energy would be discovered by him as soon as it flowed. The reason why Tianyou noticed these broken wood pieces just now was because he discovered a little bit of inspiration under the pile of wood pieces.
He walked over and squatted down, but did not dare to reach out directly, but used the Emperor Dao Sword to pick the rotten wood above.
These woods should have been extraordinary at that time, but for thousands of years, the preservation environment was so harsh, and no matter how good the wood was, it had already decayed and rotten. Tianyou found that the seemingly piece of wood board could not be picked up from the original, and as soon as it was touched, it would immediately break into a pile of black soil, which was completely useless.
After thinking about it, Tianyou simply stopped caring about the broken wood above that was in trouble, and directly extended to the thing that emitted aura down with the Emperor Dao Sword.
The wood chips above have no barrier effect from the book. The scabbard outside the Emperor Dao Sword easily touched the thing emitting aura below.
It felt like this was not a thick item. Tianyou tried it and found that it was probably a piece of paper, so he simply picked it out of a pile of black rotten wood powder.
After Tianyou's tossing, the pile of rotten wood had long turned into a pile of black soil, but the items buried under it were not stained with any foul. As soon as it was picked out from the fragments like black mud, a faint golden light flashed.
"Is this... talisman paper?"
What Tianyou turned out from under the broken wood was clearly a very common piece of talisman paper, with runes drawn with cinnabar and red pen on it. With the shining light of the inspiration in Tianyou's eyes, it can be concluded that this is a piece of talisman paper that is still valid today.
It is hard to imagine that a piece of talisman can be preserved in such an environment for thousands of years without any damage, and even the spiritual energy on it is not lost. Although I can't understand what the ghost-drawing talisman is drawn on it, Tianyou can at least be sure that this must be a very precious talisman paper.
"Yueying, do you know what this is?"
Tianyou should be the most knowledgeable person. Although she may not have surpassed Hu Niu and Hu Qingxuan in terms of level yet, she has an extraordinary identity after all. Even if the memory has not been completely restored after Nirvana, she still knows much more than Hu Niu and Hu Qingxuan. The only problem may be that there are some problems in the continuity of knowledge.
She has not shown her figure. Moon shadow will generally not be separated from Tianyou when she is uncertain about the absolute safety around her. She is Tianyou's last insurance. If the market is separated, it may be discovered by others. Therefore, as long as she is not sure of a certain safe environment, she will not separate her body.
With the help of Tianyou's senses, the moon shadow can also observe the outside world. She slightly observed the yellow talisman paper in Tianyou's hand, and then gave a negative answer.
"No, I have never seen such a talisman, but it can be concluded that it is an immortal talisman. The technique on this talisman is something from the Immortal Sect, but I have never seen it before, and I don't know what it does."
"Can't you see anything?"
"That's not the case." Yueying hesitated and replied: "You can see that there are formations about sealing and protection, which should not be talismans for attack, but you still need to try the specific functions before you can only know."
"Try?" Tianyou was surprised. "How to try this thing? Will it be gone after it is tried?"
"Except for offensive talismans, most of them are used at one time, and other categories of talismans can be reused without restrictions as long as they are not exhausted. Although I do not recognize this talisman, I can be sure that it is definitely not an offensive talisman."
"Then there must be a place to post."
Hu Qingxuan looked around, then picked up a wooden strip and came over. "Just try this."
Tianyou took the wooden strip, thought for a while, and then stuck the talisman paper in his hand. However, the talisman paper, which originally seemed to have nothing special, seemed to have been glued on the wooden strip. However, there was no other change.
"This... has taken effect, or has it not taken effect?"
Hu Qingxuan was also a little confused and looked closer, "It seems that there is no change. However, since the talisman paper has been glued on, it will definitely take effect."
Hu Qingxuan talked about the basic principles of talisman paper. Generally, as long as the talisman paper takes effect, it will inevitably undergo certain changes. For example, spontaneous combustion or automatically adsorbed on the surface of something. The talisman paper in Tianyou's hand was not sticky on the surface, but when Tianyou stuck it on the wooden strips, the talisman paper was automatically stuck on it. This means that the talisman paper was indeed effective. However, although the talisman paper took effect, there was no change in the wooden strips in Tianyou's hand.
It is obvious that Hu Qingxuan's previous guess was correct. This talisman paper is not an attack type of talisman paper, but its function is very obscure. Even if it has taken effect, there is no change at all. But this is a bit difficult. If there is no change, there is no way to determine the function of this talisman paper. Although it can also be taken back for Zhenyuan Shangxian to help, for some reason, the Battle of the Catastrophe seems to have always been a taboo in the minds of Zhenyuan Shangxian and others. Although there is no explicit regulation, everyone seems to be very shy about talking about related matters.
In Tianyou's opinion, this talisman paper and even this island must be related to the catastrophe battle, so if possible, Tianyou tried not to inform Zhenyuan Shangxian. Of course, another more obscure reason is Tianyou's little selfishness.
Zixiao Palace has always regarded itself as the orthodox successor of the Immortal Sect, so it has a certain idea of winning all kinds of items and even relics left by the Heavenly Court in the Battle of Catastrophe. For thousands of years, whenever some ruins or objects from that year appeared in the world, Zixiao Palace would find ways to take them for itself. Even a large part of them were not obtained through purchase and sale.
Of course, Zixiao Palace is still shameless. Mingqiang usually doesn’t know how to deal with excuses, but you can always find excuses if you think about them. However, most of the time, you rely on coercion, or the way of suppressing people with power. After all, there are not many forces within this China Continent who dare to face Zixiao Palace head-on.
Although this talisman paper is still unclear for the time being, it was finally picked up by Tianyou. Although because he is a disciple of Zixiao Palace, and the head and other immortals are still taking care of him, he may not be able to take it back directly, but there is such a possibility after all. Moreover, Tianyou just discovered such a talisman paper just after he went to the island, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not find anything again. If it is reported...
This idea was only revolved around Tianyou's mind and he let it go. He naturally had selfish thoughts, but if the ruins on this island were really preserved, he would obviously not be able to eat them alone. So after thinking about it, the most beneficial way is to report it, and then try to use your good performance in the door, collect some things that are useful to you, and then exchange the remaining things for rewards. This is more beneficial than eating alone.
After thinking it through, you no longer worry about the talisman paper in your hand. If you can't try it out, just remove it and put it in. Anyway, just know that the things are fine.
After putting away the talisman paper, he continued to search at the bottom of the pit. Tianyou and the others soon found a door far away from the collapse point.
This door was originally embedded on one side of the building's wall, but because the entire building is inclined, it now seems like a door is opened on the floor.
Years of burial and the lowest position of the building resulted in the outside of the door filled with mud and various debris such as dead branches and leaves, almost burying the entire door. If Tianyou hadn't had good eyesight and careful search, he might have ignored it directly.
After spending some effort to clear the debris, Tianyou tried to push down the door.
The wooden door that was not heavy was still motionless. I don’t know if it was because of the blockade of the organ or the disrepair, the door shaft was damaged. However, Tianyou was too lazy to study it. He directly used Taiyi Sword, cut the wooden door into four pieces with a few strokes, and kicked the whole house into the room with one kick.
The broken door fell into the empty house below, and it was not the sound of landing, but a rustling sound of water.
Tianyou stretched his head and looked down. The entrance was full of dark mud and water. After years of closure, the bottom was obviously filled with rain.
Sister Qi looked at the dark mud and asked Tianyou: "Do you still want to go down?"
"It's all this, how can you retreat because of a little mud and water?" Hu Niu reached out and waved her hand to the lower room before Tianyou answered. A super-small tornado formed instantly, and it was like a vacuum cleaner that pumped out all the accumulated water in the room. The accumulated water underneath was drained after drinking tea.
It is obvious that the space below is not large, otherwise, with the small spell mastered by Hu Niu, it would not be possible to drain the accumulated water so quickly.
Most of the accumulated water was drained, and Tianyou didn't care about the mud below. He reached out to put on the door frame and jumped down.
It is completely disproportionate to the huge hall outside. This side room is very small, with only two double beds.
The environment and decorations in the house have long been eroded by mud and water. There are almost no complete items. There are only piles of debris like garbage at the lowest corner of the room. In addition to the mud around it that has not yet been dried, to be honest, it looks more like sewage silt that has just been cleaned out.
I don’t know how long the mud underneath has been fermenting, but it tastes really bad. Tianyou really couldn’t do it, so he asked Hu Qingxuan to throw a branch down and search it in the mud.
The top of the sticks were several wooden sticks. There was something connected in front, but now there were only wood roots left. Carefully, Tianyou didn't care whether it was dirty or not, and directly wiped off a layer of smooth mud with his hands and looked at the material of the wood below. Unfortunately, the wood was severely rotten and could not be identified as what wood was originally. It felt like it would be crushed as long as it was taken out and air-dried. In short, it was completely useless.
After throwing away the useless wooden stick, Tianyou searched in the mud again and took out a piece of unknown metal that had rusted into a whole piece. It can be seen that this should have been several metal products, but now it is hard to distinguish them. They all look like a piece of half-melt metal feces.
Although it looks bad, Tianyou still threw this thing over. The one that can be collected by the Heavenly Palace will definitely not be mortal iron. Even if the spiritual power disappears and cuts and rusts seriously, smelting is not a difficult task for Tianyou. Maybe this is a rare metal.
I continued to turn over the mud, but I found several balls of black meatballs. This thing looked a bit like the black chicken and white phoenix balls. It was black and soft and greasy, and it felt extremely terrible, and it had excellent elasticity. I don’t know what it was.
After thinking about it, I still couldn't bear to throw it away. I handed it to Hu Qingxuan and the others and took it out first.
The mud was almost overturned here. Tianyou continued to try it down, and then he pulled out a Tai Chi-shaped magnet.
This thing is not small in size, and it looks like a large mooncake in your hand. Although the surface is covered with mud, it can be seen that it is divided into black and white, which happens to be the pattern of the Yin and Yang fish. Tianyou tried it and it was actually broken open inside. Both fish were made of magnets, and they would automatically absorb together when they got close. The joints were tightly seamed, which was extremely precise.
Compared to metal, this magnet is not damaged at all. There is no spiritual residue on it, and it is not like a magic weapon. However, this workmanship is obviously not an ordinary item, so it seems to be of certain value. Anyway, it is not big, so Tianyou simply took it out.
The things that are turned out from the mud are just a little valuable, and the rest are basically real garbage.
Tianyou crawled out of the room, Hu Qingxuan and the others had already found Qingshui to clean the previous things.
The metal was really rusted into a lump and could not be separated at all. There was no other possibility except to re-refining it.
After cleaning the black meatballs, they turned white, and they were extremely pure white, without any variegated colors. However, the soft feel of the hand is really hard to figure out what it is. At least no one here knows this thing.
The last magnet is indeed as Tianyou guessed, one black and one white, and it happens to be two yin and yang fish. However, after washing off the mud on the surface, you can see the patterns on it more clearly. The style is in line with the design of the Tiangong. There are four seal characters engraved on the back, namely "Taiyin" and "Chinyang".
The magnet Yin-Yang fish can be disassembled, the sides are completely symmetrical, and the bond is very tight. The fish eye seems to be a mechanism, and you can press it, but Tianyou tried it a few times, and nothing seemed to happen.
I don’t know what this thing is for, but it’s so good at workmanship, it’s definitely not a useless thing. Tianyou can only choose to put it away first, go back and ask Zhenyuan Shangxian for advice. After all, Zixiao Palace is the legacy of the Heavenly Court, and many things have inheritance. Zhenyuan Shangxian is also a master in refining and making tools. He can generally recognize things that are not too biased.
This collapsed building has been completely searched by Tianyou, and there is no special place. Tianyou and the others can only continue to explore the depths of the island.
Although it can be confirmed that the entire island is part of the crashed heaven, without personnel maintenance, a thousand years is enough to change many things.
Tianyou and others kept moving deep into the island. Most of the plants they saw were of various colors. They crawled over the ground, occupied rocks, and covered all the remaining architectural relics under them. Without the maintenance of the intelligent race, even the fairy island with certain spiritual characteristics could only succumb to the power of nature.
The chaotic islands have no roads at all, and even animal paths have never been discovered. It would be better if the outer area was occasionally washed by sea water. As it continued to deepen, Tianyou and the others could only use their good physical energy to jump between rocks and trees.
In addition to the lodged building wreckage, there are many broken cliffs on the island. Of course, the height is not very large. For Tianyou and the others, they are all in the same level as if they can jump directly. However, it was in such a crack that Tianyou suddenly discovered something interesting.
