Dangerous Ideas
Chapter 156 Dangerous Thoughts
"A strange restriction."
"Danbaro" looked at these vicious little men and his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that each little man was made from the soul of a strong man. They were extremely powerful and only knew how to kill.
These strange cubes formed an extremely complex lock with runes reflected on it. Only when the shape of the runes is correct can it be unlocked, otherwise these little people will be released!
There are countless of these translucent cubes. When the runes projected by the talisman are reflected on a cube, the cube will retreat backwards and disappear.
"The steps to lift the ban are so complicated. It would be difficult to do without this talisman!"
The talisman kept spinning, and the runes reflected on its fourteen sides kept changing, causing the cubes in front of them to keep retreating.
The talisman floated forward, and the turtle-back guard stepped forward. "Danbaro" hurriedly followed, and after walking through a long passage, the view in front of him suddenly opened up.
There is a different world inside the Golden Palace. From the outside, the Golden Palace does not look big, but from the inside, it is at least ten times larger. Pillars are lined up in rows, and then there are golden altars of different sizes. On each golden altar, there are treasures of strange shapes.
The turtle-backed guard walked forward with the Shaobao Sword and said with a smile: "This kind of treasure must be placed in the deepest and most honorable place. My magic power is not enough to seal it. I can only wait for Wu Zun to come and seal it personally. Danbaluo, you have done a great deed. Even I envy you very much!"
Danbalo laughed and said, "I got more than one treasure from that Yankang man. I also got a small jade bottle. It's probably holy medicine. I sniffed the smell and it was wonderful. It seemed like I was going to become a god..."
He took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve. When the turtle-back guard saw it, his eyes lit up. He snatched it from his hand and said with a smile, "Dambaro, you have made great contributions. The Wizard Lord will definitely reward you greatly. I brought you here in advance to choose treasures. How could you not show your filial piety to me? Give me the holy medicine in this jade bottle!"
"Dambaro" looked painful.
The turtle-back guard saw his painful expression and said with a smile, "Stingy." Then he unscrewed the jade bottle, put it under his nose and took a sniff.
"It smells so good--eh--yang--xiang..."
The turtle-back guard still had a satisfied smile on his face as he fell straight down.
"Dambaro" held his breath, quickly snatched the jade bottle from his hand, put the stopper in it, not daring to breathe. After thinking for a while, he took out another jade bottle, collected the surrounding air into the jade bottle, then pried open the mouth of the turtle-back guard, put the opened jade bottle in his mouth, and let him hold it.
"He won't wake up for a while. Huh—"
"Dambaro" exhaled a breath of foul air, and then began to shed his skin. Another person came out of Danbalo's skin, and it was Qin Mu.
"I have now used the means of the devil."
Qin Mu looked at the skin on the ground and shook his head. Granny Si was able to wear other people's skins and change into many different forms, but he still had some psychological trauma.
Qin Mu took back the Shao Bao Sword, and searched the body of the turtle-back guard. He found the talisman and stuffed it into his arms, and then found some odds and ends.
He searched around but didn't find anything useful, so he gave up.
"Shenxiao Sky Eye, open! Qingxiao Sky Eye, open!"
The Shenxiao Sky and Qingxiao Sky opened in Qin Mu's pupils, and dense runes formed two heavens in his pupils. Looking around, everything here suddenly became clearly defined in his eyes.
Every golden altar here is densely sealed, similar to the cubes he had just seen. In each cube there is a ferocious-looking little man hidden. These little men have twisted facial features, messy hair, and sharp claws, but they cannot be seen at all without the Heavenly Eye.
Qin Mu picked up the talisman and carefully looked at the fourteen runes on it. After comparing them, he shook his head. This talisman was not the key to unlock the seal of the Golden Altar. It could probably only be used to open the Golden Palace.
He walked forward, looking at each Jintan one by one. He had to hurry up, as Ling Yuxiu should still be blocking the door outside. Ling Yuxiu's skills were not as good as his. Even though he had learned the combined tactics of Bashan Jijiu, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
The treasures on the golden altar are different. Many of them are unique to the Golden Palace of Loulan. They are refined in a very strange way. Some are made by peeling off human skin to paint, writing runes, making bowls with human skulls, and some are made by making drums with human skin. There are also white bone banners, thousand poison soul-devouring banners, and white bone shrines. They are all magical tools of evil demons.
But apart from that, there are a lot of good things, shining brightly with golden light, as if they are treasures refined by a being at the level of the Witch King.
Qin Mu also saw some treasures that were not from the witch cult, which were also placed here, including a thousand pagodas, relics, which should be the treasures of Buddhism, as well as a sword ball the size of a grape, an ancient zither with one end burnt, and a broken sword.
Suddenly, Qin Mu stopped and couldn't move. There was a stone slab upright on the golden altar, on which was engraved a fragmentary diagram of a practice session. He knew at a glance that it was a practice session of Tyrant Body Three Dan Gong, but not a practice session of the Six Harmonies realm. In a hurry, he couldn't tell which realm it was.
"Go, go, find your legs!"
Qin Mu urged himself to run towards the depths of the treasure house. After a while, he quickly swam around here and stopped in front of a golden altar. He had seen this golden altar once, but in the end he came back here.
On the golden altar was placed the lower body of a person, only the part below the waist, but it was still standing, stable and balanced.
However, Qin Mu was sure that this was not the butcher's lower body.
This half body was shining with golden light, even the blood seemed to be liquid gold, and the bones were gold.
This body exudes a terrifying aura, more powerful than the Witch King.
"Wu Zun's body?"
Qin Mu blinked, gestured at his waist, and then carefully recalled the butcher's body. It seemed that the butcher's body could be completely placed on this half body.
"Wu Zun destroyed the sect that took Grandpa Tu's lower body and took his lower body away. Then Wu Zun cut off his own lower body and placed it here. Grandpa Tu's lower body should have been here, but it's gone..."
Qin Mu's eyes twitched as he thought of a terrible possibility.
The Witch Master cut off his lower body and put the butcher's lower body on his own body!
"With my medical skills, I can definitely do this. Wu Zun should be able to do it too!"
He couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. What was Wu Zun trying to do by cutting off his own lower body and attaching someone else's lower body?
"Perhaps he thought that Grandpa Tu's body was even more powerful than his golden body, something he could never achieve in his lifetime, so he replaced his lower body. However, there is another possibility, that is, Wu Zun refined Grandpa Tu's lower body into a two-legged spiritual weapon..."
Qin Mu looked strange. The latter possibility was very small, but it was not impossible. He couldn't help but look embarrassed. The lower body on the golden altar was also sealed. If he reached out, he would definitely be eaten by the little people in the cubes without leaving any bones.
If Ba Shan Jijiu was here, he could just destroy these seals and bans violently, but Qin Mu did not have such ability.
"I have never used the skill that Grandpa Lame taught me, but can I get through the seal and get that half of the body?"
He was anxious, but suddenly he started running wildly in the treasure house, activating the Heaven-stealing Legs taught to him by the cripple. His speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch with the naked eye!
Qin Mu was running wildly while performing the Stealing Hand. His hands were getting faster and faster, like light and lightning. The cripple's kung fu was all in his legs and hands. His legs ran fast so that he could escape if he was discovered stealing, and his hands moved quickly so that he could steal things.
Qin Mu has been practicing the Stealing Heaven Leg Technique diligently, but he has practiced the Stealing Heaven-Changing Sun Hand less frequently. He is now cramming for it, hoping that he can comprehend more of the mysteries.
Qin Mu sensed something strange when the Heaven-Stealing Divine Leg and the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Changing Hand were performed at the same time. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise and stopped quickly.
When he was performing two different methods at the same time, he actually felt that the two methods were like one, but the lame man divided the one method into two halves and taught them to him.
Originally, he had been feeling very smooth when practicing the Heaven-Stealing Divine Leg, and now that he was using the Heaven-Stealing Divine Leg and the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Changing Hand at the same time, the speed at which his vital energy was circulating increased several times!
The speed of the vital energy circulation has increased several times, which means that his leg and hand speeds can be increased several times!
Qin Mu calmed himself and looked forward. The interior of the Golden Palace's treasury was extremely spacious, with enough space for him to run. He suddenly exerted force and ran forward like flying!
There was a tearing whistling sound in the air in the palace, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and Qin Mu slammed heavily into the golden wall of the palace which was more than a hundred feet away from where he started, and then fell straight back.
A circular white mist spread out around his body.
After a while, Qin Mu stood up, shook his head, and ran wildly again. There was another loud bang, and a white gas spread out from around him. However, this time he did not hit the wall. Instead, he stepped on the wall and ran past it, then ran to the roof of the hall and whizzed through it.
The tearing whistling sound continued as Qin Mu whistled away from the treasure house on the air and whistled back in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, while running wildly, he stretched out his hand and found that a golden altar was empty, but in Qin Mu's hand there was a bowl made of a skull.
Clang.
The bowl fell to the ground, and Qin Mu laughed loudly. He ran wildly as if he was frolicking, and reached out to the golden jars that flashed by him like a stream of light. Suddenly, the golden jars were empty, and the treasures on the ground were thrown everywhere by him.
After a while, all the golden altars were swept away by him, and then Qin Mu passed by a golden altar while holding his two thighs.
His figure suddenly stopped and he put down the golden lower body.
"No wonder Grandpa Lame always likes to steal things. It turns out stealing is so refreshing!"
The young man from Canlao Village exhaled a breath of foul air, looked back at the treasures scattered all over the ground, and felt refreshed. He praised: "It's worth it even if I lose a leg!"
