Chapter 613 Star map tracing, astrolabe cheating
……
Lin Shan didn't stay too long and chose one of the remaining two portals to enter.
Everyone outside was still eavesdropping with their ears pricked up, but they couldn't hear anything, so they had no choice but to let go of the pillar in frustration.
"What to do?"
"They killed Master Jinguang, destroyed the Barbarian Town, our trump card against the barbarians, and it seems they want to take over the Star Mansion alone"
"Are we just watching them, helpless?"
"Otherwise, who will decipher the star text? Do you have the ability?"
"I don't have one, do you?"
"Enough!!!"
The white-robed old scholar yelled. Seeing that he was really angry, the others shrank and kept silent.
"Jin Guang is dead, and people cannot be resurrected. There are so many of us, why are we still afraid of those two little babies?"
"Let's work together to find a way to decipher the star text!"
"Even if you can't crack it, just wait for them at the exit. They will come out eventually!"
"When the time comes, everything in this star mansion will be used as wedding clothes for us."
Everyone nodded and agreed with the white-robed old scholar's words.
Master Jin Guang cannot defeat him alone, but thirty of them cannot defeat him. This is a qualitative change caused by a quantitative change. Those two people will be stuck in there and unable to get out, so they will cry!
In the room on the second floor.
Lin Shan looked at the scattered star map fragments in front of him, there were thousands of them!
The test of this star mansion turned out to be a puzzle, putting together a perfect star map!
And coincidentally, he once obtained an animal skin scroll with nine star maps in the hands of someone from Disha Tower.
I quickly took it out to compare, and quickly settled on one of them.
Lin Shan put it together according to this.
After a while, he copied the cat and tiger according to the picture, and he completed the piece, and the blue light brightened in front of his eyes.
"Keke"
A small secret compartment opens, and there is a distant space inside. It should be the same as the star view that I encountered before, and there are treasures for you to choose from.
"It's not difficult!"
Lin Shan almost floated up. He really didn't know how talented the old black dragon ghost in the Star Mansion was!
He is a layman and broke easily. He can't get up even after sitting there for a long time. Why do you still want to compete with others?
In fact, he was completely influenced by the roll of animal skin. If it weren't for the star map above, he would probably be worse than the old black dragon ghost!
From this, it is speculated that the animal skin scroll in Dishalou's hands is probably not owned by them originally, but found from somewhere.
On the contrary, it made Lin Shan cheaper.
He tilted his head and lowered his head.
When I saw the picture in the dark grid, my face immediately darkened!
The reason is that there is nothing inside!
All rewards are gone!
“No reward???”
Lin Shan hurriedly knelt down and took a closer look, but he didn't find any light group or treasure. There was nothing inside except the lingering star mist!
He stood up again and looked around the room, and by the way, he carefully compared the star map of the animal skin scroll to check whether his puzzle pieces were correct.
After watching it, there is no difference at all.
"It shouldn't be"
I've put together the star map and opened the mechanism. What's the point of not getting any rewards?
After searching for it but not finding it, he suddenly realized.
Combining the information Qian Jizi and Shui Bingyue revealed to him, it is very likely that each star mansion has been visited by countless people over the years!
There are three rooms on each floor, and three treasures in each room. Maybe someone has taken them away!
Especially at the lower level, if the difficulty is not very high, the probability of being taken away by someone who comes first is quite high!
Lin Shan was very depressed and had to accept his fate.
Anyway, there are many more floors at the back, so it’s impossible for every room to be occupied.
Gently push the star map.
The ceiling of the room suddenly opened, and a spiral staircase stretched out.
Lin Shan came to the third floor.
At first glance, the layout is completely different from the second floor!
The second floor is like a guest room, and the third floor is more like an alchemy place. It even has a specially equipped alchemy furnace and 'grounding facilities'.
If there is earth fire earth veins at this time, it can be pulled up to assist in alchemy.
Of course, you can also use spiritual stones or star power.
The flames burned like that are just ordinary spiritual fires and sparks. They may have no special functions and have no additional attributes for the success rate of alchemy.
These facilities are complete, but they are protected by the star array, so they cannot be disassembled.
Lin Shan looked around and saw that there were still three portals, one of which was already lit up, indicating that it was occupied.
Shui Bingyue is also so fast, and even faster than him!
Although Lin Shan had been mentally prepared in advance, he was a little surprised when he mastered the star map by mistake and ended up behind Shui Bingyue.
Could it be that she also has a star map scroll?
Choosing one of the two remaining doors, he began to crack the mechanism again.
The third level of test is still the star map, but the difficulty is increased ten times!
Tens of thousands of fragmented pictures were disrupted and needed to be reassembled.
Lin Shan took the animal skin scroll and compared it. After searching for a long time, he found two pictures that he thought were somewhat similar among the nine pictures. He could only start by following the gourd picture.
This trial took much longer than last time.
"Zhizhizhizhi."
He could hear the sound coming from the next door. It was the sound of the mechanism opening and the spiral escalator responding!
Shui Bingyue was still so fast, still ahead of him!
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Shan finally completed the puzzle.
A star map that looked like marshmallows emitted bright light, and the dark compartment below opened with a crisp crunching sound.
He lowered his head and his face turned dark again!
Still empty!
"Made."
Lin Shan cursed and had to rush to the fourth floor instead of wasting time down there.
The configuration of the fourth floor is slightly different from that of the third floor.
The third floor is where alchemy is made, and the fourth floor is where weapons are refined.
A complete set of supporting facilities, and even a special sword-washing sink in the corner.
Lin Shan didn't bother to look any further and quickly picked a room and went in.
It’s still an astrological puzzle, but this time there are 30,000 pieces!
Lin Shan was really stumped now!
There are more and more fragments, and the difficulty is completely increasing exponentially. My Dayan arithmetic is not good enough, how can I do this in a short time?
Holding the animal skin rolls in hand, I tried them one after another, and the time was ticking by.
Suddenly, there was a sound from next door.
Shui Bingyue successfully broke through again and reached the upper level!
Lin Shan has not yet found it completely. Which one of the nine pictures is it?
It was just like an exam. The key points had been marked in advance, and it was even an open-book exam. However, there was so much content that he couldn't make up the time because others handed in the papers faster than he did!
He took a deep breath, knowing that the more critical a time was like this, the less likely he would be able to be affected by his mentality.
Be slow and steady, take accurate interpretation as the premise, and solve the immediate difficulties first.
A full hour later.
His eyes were a little sore, but he finally completed the star map. This map looked a bit like a sledge and had a weird appearance. It seemed that he had never seen it in ancient books.
True Lord Yuxing specially set up such a test for monks to put together puzzles. Did he want to convey some message through this?
Lin Shan felt that such a big shot wouldn't be aimless. Maybe these star maps were related to some secrets.
"Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, through out of the secret compartment, which is filled with stars and mist.
This time a treasure finally appeared!
And as soon as they appear, there are two!
Lin Shan looked carefully and found that there was no token in the light group. It had obviously been taken away by the previous monk.
He had no choice but to choose a blue stone among the two.
【Meteor Stone】
Quality: Level 4 Material
Introduction: Meteors from outside the sky fall into this world. The leftover materials after burning can be used to forge magic weapons and star weapons, and to arrange spiritual arrays and star arrays.
Strengthening requirements: 64 points.
In short, it can be used to cast a second-level magic weapon related to star power such as a virtual star disk, or as the cornerstone of a fourth-level or higher star array.
Next he went up to the fifth floor.
The layout of the fifth floor is different from that of the first three floors. There are large and small insect-control vessels here, filling the living room.
And there is a balcony corridor outside the window!
Obviously, this is a layer for playing with bugs.
Lin Shan wanted to take a good look and observe, but he had no choice but to waste time due to tight time constraints, so he could only concentrate on solving the mechanism for the time being.
But when he had just chosen a portal and was about to enter.
There was a voice coming from the side. Shui Bingyue had risen to another level just after he arrived!
"So fast???"
Lin Shan thought he had drawings that he could use to take the open-book test, but who knew that he was so good at it that he could take the test faster than he could?
This time it was a whole level worse, so he couldn't panic.
He quickly opened the door and entered, but this time the star map made him dumbfounded!
Because there are a hundred thousand fragments!
He felt like he was about to burst!
Who can you replace this thing with?
Unless Taoist An Chun is still around, he can force the fortune telling and consume his life to decipher it.
Thinking of Taoist An Chun, Lin Shan couldn't help but frown deeply.
"The hexagram this old guy made before he died cost me several times his life span. Logically speaking, it provided me with a possibility. I shouldn't be so hopeless."
There is indeed no hope now.
Because Shui Bingyue's speed is too fast, and the challenges he faces are intensifying, and the gap is getting wider and wider as he goes on, he can only look back and sigh.
Although fortune telling may not be 100% accurate, some people's strength, luck, destiny, chance, etc. are better than fortune telling.
But there is no perfect path, and there must be other shortcuts for you to take!
Speaking of shortcuts, he had no choice but to invite the tool spirit Xiaoxin from the Void Star Board.
"Xiao Xin, please help me take a look. Can you help me solve this puzzle?"
Unexpectedly, Xiaoxin nodded her head and gave him a reassuring look.
Then he held the main body Lingbao, the pointer on it whirled, and then used dazzling hand speed to start a crazy deduction!
Lin Shan was dumbfounded as he watched Xiaoxin use her hands and feet at that speed, which was more than a hundred times faster than his own!
It didn't take him long to find out.
It turns out that Xiaoxin is using star power to drive the virtual star disk to deduce the stars, so that it is fast and accurate without even using the animal skin scroll that records the nine star maps.
"Crack!"
The secret compartment opened, and there were two more light groups inside.
Lin Shan knelt down and took a look, but there was still no token.
He did not hesitate, made a simple choice, and picked a blue stone.
【Star Spirit Stone】
Quality: Top Grade Spiritual Stone
Introduction: High-grade spiritual stones that store a large amount of star power can be used to restore star power, refine star pills or star weapons, arrange star arrays, drive star puppets and other effects.
Strengthening requirements: 64 points
Lin Shan put away the virtual astrolabe and climbed up the ladder again.
The sixth floor.
It looks like a formation home.
There is a stream of light all around, and the lines are outlined one after another. They are arranged into star arrays inside and outside. Many miniature models are displayed on it, which looks very real.
Among the three portals, Shui Bingyue has not left yet and is still working intensively inside to crack them.
She also heard the sound coming from the forest mountain and felt incredible!
The reason why I am so fast is because I have accumulated relevant knowledge in recent decades, so that I can draw inferences from one instance and think dialectically.
And how could Lin Shan, a wild guy like him, keep up with his speed?
She was puzzled and had no choice but to do whatever she could to get rid of Lin Shan again.
Lin Shan chose a portal and entered.
The number of star map fragments this time has reached 300,000 pieces!
With such a huge scene, no wonder it took Shui Bingyue a long time to prepare it!
He knew how much he weighed, so there was no need to cause any trouble, especially since he had the virtual astral chart and star power in hand, so he could just let the weapon spirit calculate it for him!
The star power is endless, which can be regarded as making the virtual star disk perform well, and it is as expected.
Xiaoxin was very fast, comparable to Shui Bingyue, and even within a certain period of time, her average speed was definitely faster.
“Crack!”
The secret grid opened and Lin Shan lowered his head.
Three treasures, not one missing.
He grabbed the Yuxing token without hesitation.
At the same time, he and Shui Bingyue both completed the star map decryption and climbed up through the spiral passage at the same time.
"Brother Lin, you really impress me!"
"Haha, each other"
The layout of the seventh floor is completely decorated according to the puppets in the Six Arts of Cultivation.
Many complicated processes were not fully designed. It is also possible that the original owner was not interested in puppetry, so he deliberately put it aside.
"Water Fairy, please!"
"Brother Lin, please."
The two chose the portal and started the extreme speed deduction mode to compete to see who could be faster.
Even though they have been working together to deal with foreign enemies, when it comes to this space magic weapon, no one is willing to let go!
This time the star map was more complicated, and some interfering external information was added. Shui Bingyue gradually began to struggle, and sweat began to form on his face.
Lin Shan watched the whole show, and he could just let Lingbao perform it for him!
He knows astronomy from above and geography from the virtual astrolabe. He specializes in looking for dragons, reading pulses, and deducing horoscopes. He is good at everything!
In the past, there was no real energy that high-level monks had, so it was very passive and difficult to fully activate.
Now that he has found so much from the Xingli Well, it is enough for him to use all his strength to work hard for himself.
Time passed gradually.
Until a certain moment.
"Crack!"
The sound of the secret door opening sounded.
A smile appeared on Lin Shan's face, he lowered his head and found that there were still three light groups for him to choose from.
It turns out that there were very few monks who could reach this point in the past, and basically they would not be in the embarrassing situation of not having treasures on the first few floors.
Lin Shan chose the Yuxing Token and went directly to the eighth floor!
The layout of the eighth floor is different from the previous floors. It belongs to the last of the six arts of cultivation, making talismans.
Lin Shan laughed twice and pushed the door open.
