Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Brother of the Zhu Family Seeks Immortality

Zhu Di just watched the courtiers discuss it, but he still underestimated the various aspects of cultivation.

If Zhankanna's grandson could handle it, maybe everything could be solved.

But he was also afraid that something might happen to his grandson, so Zhu Di had seen King Ning's envoy.

Including Jin Yiwei's battle report and autopsy report.

From this perspective, cultivators are not immortal, especially at the beginning of this cultivation period.

This is the time when a practitioner is most vulnerable.

Seeing that there was really no good solution, Zhu Di finally decided to let Zhu Zhankan take action.

...

Invisible footsteps echoed in the empty stone mountain.

A broken ever-burning lamp has long lost its luster.

Two dilapidated large stone lions bear witness to the glory and decline of this stone temple.

Dusk, Stone Temple.

After Zhu Zhankan received Zhu Di's order and inquired about the information found by Jinyiwei, he quickly led his people to Stone Mountain.

Under the protection of hundreds of Jinyi guards and hundreds of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, Zhu Zhankan successfully arrived at the Stone Temple in Stone Mountain.

Zhu Zhankan glued a handful of wet soil in front of the gate of Shitou Temple.

From what I looked at, the temple seemed to be surrounded by wet soil.

"In the cold first month of winter, when there are few people around, how can there be wet soil?"

With doubts, Zhu Zhankan walked into the temple.

The surrounding Jin Yiwei entered the Stone Temple together with torches and dry food, and were ready for the night.

After all, even if His Royal Highness goes back, they still need to stay here.

Zhu Zhankan held a torch and decided to take the lead in checking the room where the strange stones were stored.

He quickly found the room according to Jin Yiwei's guidance, and the torch instantly illuminated the entire room.

"Shangguan." Ma Li saluted respectfully, "This stone is the strange stone that people have rumored."

"However, I don't know when, it suddenly cracked, split into two halves and fell on both sides."

Zhu Zhankan groped for these two huge and surprisingly hard stones.

A hint of surprise arose in my heart.

This stone is obviously the best material for refining weapons!

Using this stone, I'm afraid it's enough to refine a middle-grade magic weapon!

At the same time, his vigilance was at its highest.

The emergence of a piece of forging material that is enough for cultivators to use, no matter from which point of view, this matter is even more troublesome.

Zhu Zhankan put his hands on the bottom of the stone, trying to turn it over.

Upon seeing this, Ma Li immediately put his hands next to the stone and cooperated with Zhu Zhankan by saying, "Shangguan, this stone is extremely heavy and doesn't look big. More than a dozen of our brothers can't open it."

Of course Zhu Zhankan knew the reason. This thing was not an ordinary stone, and ordinary people did not have spiritual energy in their bodies.

Naturally, I can’t lift this stone.

"rise!"

Before Ma Li could finish his words, Zhu Zhankan faced Ma Li's ghostly gaze and turned the whole stone over!

And on the other side of this stone, there is a big hole!

Chapter 54 The seams between stones and the edges of branches! (1 update)

Ma Li was not only surprised that Zhu Zhankan successfully turned over the stone, but he was even more shocked that there was a hole that looked like a man-made hole on the other side of the stone!

"This...what is this?"

Ma Li approached the stone carefully and stroked it gently.

"This strange stone should be an eggshell, and there is life inside the stone."

With that said, Zhu Zhankan turned over another stone.

Surprisingly, it is still a similar hole.

Zhu Zhankan touched his chin and thought, could it be that something from the stone came out and caused these murders?

"Ma Qianhu." Zhu Zhankan turned around and asked, "When did the stone crack? Are any of you at the scene? Were the murders and the stone cracked at the same time?"

Ma Lidao: "Back to Shangguan, the stone cracked two days ago. Although we were not at the scene, we came to the temple to investigate after the first murder occurred. The stone had not cracked at that time."

"Is that so?"

The moment Zhu Zhankan lowered his head, he suddenly noticed something was wrong with the cracked position of the stone.

What's going on with these long movement marks? It seems like these locations are a little bit toxic.

Also, why do the things that pop out of the cracks in the rocks sound so familiar?

...

"It's really unlucky to have to patrol in the middle of the night!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard that the one who brought us out this time is an imperial grandson! If others hear it, your future will be ruined."

"Tch, I don't believe that those emperors would be stationed in this wilderness."

"Your Majesty, in your northern expedition, aren't you sharing the joys and sorrows with me?"

"Oh, Beizheng, His Majesty's residence..."

"Shut up! Don't you want your life talking about His Majesty?"

A scolding sound came, and everyone shut their mouths and started patrolling honestly.

They were originally soldiers patrolling the city, but some of them were transferred to patrol outside the city.

And they were the most unlucky to be patrolling near Stone Mountain.

The origin of Stone Mountain is related to Soochow during the Three Kingdoms period of the Later Han Dynasty.

Because of the steepness of Stone Mountain and the numerous stones, Sun Quan, the leader of Soochow, built a military fortress on Stone Mountain to defend Jianye.

Later, with the continuous mining of stone, the surrounding land was developed into farmland.

Stone Mountain gradually became abandoned.

The abandoned stone mountain is filled with abandoned houses and city walls, as well as some small camps.

But these camps had been destroyed long ago. No matter what, there would be no extra camps around the capital.

And because the terrain of Stone Mountain was steep and the land was full of stone debris.

No people were willing to come here to open up wasteland.

I hate you

Other patrol soldiers could stay in the village, but they had to sleep on the ground.

As for letting them sneak away?

Although they were brave in their words, they were not good at leg work.

They dared not sneak away at all. If they were found, they would be subject to military law.

The leading sergeant led the team into a place where the trees were still tall, and they were going to set up camp here tonight.

Of course, there were a total of ten people, and it was enough to build a shed.

Not long after the shed was built here, another sergeant led the team over.

Half of the village was attacked and killed. This matter caused a lot of uproar. Naturally, there would not be only a dozen people patrolling here.

On the contrary, there were quite a few people patrolling at the foot and top of Stone Mountain.

After a busy day, no one was in the mood to chat.

Everyone agreed on the time to keep watch and went to bed in an orderly manner.

When it was late at night, it was the day for murder and arson.

At about three o'clock in the morning, even the soldiers on night patrol were a little drowsy.

After all, they were just patrol soldiers guarding the city, not elite soldiers who fought in the south and the north.

And the murderer's best record was just a sneak attack on Stone Village, which caused the deaths and injuries of several Jinyiwei and dozens of villagers.

Besides, this information may be a little exaggerated.

There are nearly thirty strong soldiers stationed here, and the murderer should not dare to show up.

However, the smell of blood quietly permeated the vicinity of the soldiers' camp.

The surrounding branches were trembling slightly, but they did not disturb the soldiers at all.
