Chapter 47 Heart-Eating Worms and Rats that Break the Taboo

The corpse of the black beetle was also brought out. Master Xiying held the corpse of the black beetle, frowned and looked at it for a long time before saying: "This seems to be the legendary heart-eating insect, which likes to eat the hearts of humans and animals. It belongs to the lowest level of spiritual insects. Some low-level cultivators like to raise this kind of thing to attack and harm people. If it were alive, it would be useful. It's a pity that it has been killed by you."

After listening to Master Xiying's words, Qingyang couldn't help but be amazed. At that time, in order to get rid of these three black beetles, their group had spent a lot of effort, and Pi Yingxiong even died for it. I didn't expect that such a powerful thing was just a lowest level spiritual insect in the mouth of the immortal master. The gap is really big.

When it came to the bundle of wood they had found in the garbage dump, before Master Xiying could do anything, Master Xiping squatted down, untied the bundle of wood, flipped it over, and said, "Uncle Master, they are all spiritual woods, some of which are even thousands of years old. They have just been left for too long and have lost too much spirituality. Some of them can still be used as the main materials for refining wood-attributed magic tools, and the others can only be used to burn fire in the alchemy room."

Master Xiying nodded and said, "It's not completely useless. This bundle of spiritual wood can at least be exchanged for a dozen spiritual stones."

After Master Xiping finished checking, he waved his hand lightly, and the bundle of spiritual wood was collected by him into the collection talisman. The people in the martial arts world had never seen this magical scene before, and they were stunned. Even Hu Zhentai forgot to continue telling everyone's experience.

After a while, Master Xiping glared at him, and Hu Zhentai reacted. He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then continued to talk.

After a few words, they talked about how they came to the second hall but couldn't open the door of the hall. They finally found a rat hole again, blew up the hole and startled the rat inside, and then the whole team died and one was injured.

Hearing Hu Zhentai say this, the Xiying Immortal Master's expression moved, and he seemed to be interested. He looked at Master Kongji who lost an arm, and then said: "The rat was seriously injured by the thunder, and it still caused one of you to die and one to be injured? His strength must be at least at the level of a monster. Where is the body of the rat? Bring it to me."

Hu Zhentai took out the body of the rat from his bag. Xiying Immortal Master pinched the rat's tail and looked at it for a long time, then said thoughtfully: "Could this be the forbidden rat?"

"What is the forbidden rat?" asked Xiping Immortal Master next to him.

Immortal Master Xiying said: "I have only seen it in some classics of the sect, and have never really seen what the Forbidden Breaking Rat looks like. It is said that the Forbidden Breaking Rat is a rare rat monster. It is no different from ordinary rats in other aspects, but it has a special skill that can break most formations and restrictions."

After hearing what the uncle said, even the Immortal Master Xining was stunned and said in surprise: "Can it break formations and restrictions? Wouldn't that make you invincible? As long as you carry this Forbidden Breaking Rat with you, no matter what formation or restriction blocks you are blocked by in the future, you can escape from it?"

Immortal Master Xiying nodded and said: "Of course it is true in theory, but in fact, if the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, even if you have the Forbidden Breaking Rat, you have to have a chance to use it."

Immortal Master Xiping thought for a while and said: "It's really a good thing. This Forbidden Breaking Rat is much more valuable than other spiritual objects. It's a pity that it has been killed by them, and the body can't be exchanged for a few spiritual stones. Otherwise, just this living Forbidden Breaking Rat would be worth our trip."

Hearing the solemn words of the immortal masters, Hu Zhen Tai said quickly: "Master, we didn't mean to kill him, but the situation was urgent at that time. If we had focused all our efforts on dealing with this forbidden rat, our entire team might have been wiped out."

Master Xiying also understood this truth without Hu Zhentai's explanation. He waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you, I just think you are lucky. This forbidden rat is already a first-level monster. Even my low-level Qi Refining disciples in Lingxi Valley find it difficult to defeat it. I didn't expect it to die in the hands of you ordinary people."

Seeing that the masters didn't pursue it, Hu Zhentai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If this forbidden rat hadn't been seriously injured by the thunder, we would definitely not be its opponent."

Master Xiying nodded and said: "So it's a coincidence that sometimes ordinary people play a role no less than the masters. Seeing this forbidden rat, I understand that given the importance of the hall, it should not be built with only ordinary stones. There must be restrictions on the wall. It is very likely that the forbidden rat destroyed the wall restriction at the entrance of the cave, so it was easily blown open by you."

Master Xiying's words cleared everyone's confusion. When Du Chengjin blew up the cave entrance, although everyone was happy, many people also murmured secretly. The hall built by the immortal masters had been standing in this secret place for who knows how many years without any problems. How could it be easily blown up by their thunder bombs? It seems a bit unworthy of its name. It turned out that this was the reason.

After listening to Master Xiying's words, Qingyang also realized that there was still immortal wine in the ninth wine pool in the hall. It must not be sealed with only glue mud. There must be some kind of prohibition, otherwise it would not be stored for such a long time.

As for why there was only one layer of mud seal left later, do we need to guess? From the rat hole above, we can see that the prohibition set by the immortal masters must have been bitten by this forbidden rat, leaving only a layer of glue mud seal, which finally benefited Qingyang.

After talking about the forbidden rat, the rest of the experience in the hall needs Qingyang to tell it himself. After all, he is a direct experiencer and knows the things inside better than Hu Zhentai. So Qingyang recounted the same story he had told everyone at the beginning.

In the stone that Qingyang was talking about, Hu Zhentai took out the two black metal plates he got from it, and Master Xiying also commented on it. The two metal plates were similar to the dark brown stone at the beginning, both of which were a common refining material and were not very valuable.

Qingyang's story was 70% true and 30% false. He said everything he should say, and didn't say anything he shouldn't say. Although he was not very old, his words were clear and coherent. The masters did not doubt his words, but they were a little confused about the big pit in the hall he mentioned.

However, Qingyang insisted that he was like that when he entered. The masters asked a few questions casually, but when they couldn't get any information, they had to give up.

This secret place has existed for who knows how many years. Maybe the big pit was left by the previous cultivators. Besides, this little Taoist priest Qingyang is just an ordinary person and has no ability to make such a big pit.
