Chapter 334 Notes and the Purification Method of the Treasure of Disaster
The grass Z pure crystal on the wrist seemed to have lost all its energy and suddenly became extremely dim.
Luo Mu knew that this was the Cooling Time of the Grass Z Pure Crystal. Next, the Grass Z Pure Crystal would automatically absorb the sunlight and moonlight falling from the sky and automatically complete the charging process.
However, the prerequisite is to leave this tomb first.
With the Monarch Snake's special attack +6 and the "Colorful Flower Blooming" based on the flying leaf storm, no matter how strong the physical strength of the clay giants is, they can only end up being emptied by the Monarch Snake in one breath.
After being defeated, the giant bodies of the clay dolls turned into bright purple spots that illuminated the entire surrounding space before collapsing. Like a rushing river, they rejoined the circular floor with mysterious patterns.
Although his expression did not change, Luo Mu's brows trembled as he had exhausted a lot of energy, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
This thing won't happen again, right?
Fortunately, although the ancient people's technology could create artificial Pokémon such as Clay Giant and Magearna, they did not master the black technology of generating energy out of thin air and recharging it in one second.
After the giant clay dolls turned into points of light and returned to the floor, there was no sign of reappearing.
But this phenomenon still aroused the interest of Luo Mu and Lei He.
There are also many trainers who use Golem. After their Golem loses its fighting ability, it will fall down like other Pokémon, instead of returning to the floor like this Golem in the tomb. Somewhere in space.
After a short discussion, Lei He and Luo Mu reached an agreement.
I am afraid that the ancient Padian Empire had some kind of technology similar to the modern elf ball, which allows the clay giant bound here to return to the "elf ball" after being defeated, and can be activated again after re-accumulating energy.
Or maybe the ancient Padian Empire modified the manufacturing method of clay giants so that they were deeply bound to the land they guarded, and even if they were defeated, they would have a chance to come back.
But in any case, due to the quick battle between Luo Mu and Monarch Snake, the four giant clay dolls were defeated without even having a chance to have any impact on this space.
The possibility that Lei He was worried about the aftermath of the battle destroying the structural balance of the tomb was completely blocked by Luo Mu and Monarch Snake.
After walking through the wide space, what appeared in front of Luo Mu and Lei He were two passages leading to unknown directions.
There is no light inside the dark and deep passage, which looks like the mouth of a giant beast. Once you enter, you will be completely swallowed.
Lei He's left hand stretched out like lightning and stopped in front of Luo Mu. At the same time, she asked Luo Mu to wait a moment.
Now that Luo Mu has solved the battle, whether it is a multiple-choice question or ensuring the safety of the tomb exploration journey, it is his job to do.
Lei He did not rush into either of the two passages. She just took out a bunch of gadgets from her backpack and skillfully installed them on the edges of those passages.
While installing, Leihe explained.
"This is a necessary preparation to avoid the situation where the agency automatically triggers to block the passage after we enter it, trapping us inside."
Luo Mu watched thoughtfully as Leihe not only kept busy, but also released his own Zoroark and Squid King to help, and understood why she reacted like this to these two arched passages that looked like doors. So big.
Just like the plot that often appears in horror movies and tomb robbery movies.
After the protagonist group entered a certain passage, the door behind them suddenly closed and the lock outside automatically locked, so they could only bite the bullet and continue exploring.
Leihe is trying to prevent this from happening.
After a while, Lei He finished all the work, looked at Luo Mu and randomly chose the passage on the left, ready to continue exploring inside.
According to Leihe herself, it doesn't matter which side she chooses.
Anyway, there is a 50% probability of passing the level, or reaching a dead end, but even if they reach a dead end, they still have a chance to return to the right path.
All that is wasted is the time of trial and error.
In the passage, the figures of the two people slowly disappeared into the darkness as the light of the flashlight gradually faded away.
A few moments.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong."
It has been about ten minutes since we entered the passage. According to Lei He's understanding of the tomb, after passing the level of the clay doll giant, which is equivalent to the last guard, we are almost not far from the real treasure spot or important location in the tomb.
But this passage was not only very long with twists and turns, Lei He didn't even find any trace of traps, and was simply undefended.
This was nothing like the dangerous traps she and Luo Mu had experienced before.
In other words, you have prepared so many insidious traps and four huge clay doll giant guards. Why are you pretending to be innocent now?
It wasn't until the light of the flashlight illuminated the end wall that represented the end that Reha could be sure that this passage was a dead end.
but
"what is that?"
Lei He, who had long been accustomed to the light emitted by the flashlight, couldn't help but squinted her eyes and looked at the strange stone at the end of the passage, feeling strange.
It was a strange khaki stone with many cracks. It looked like the kind of stone often seen on the roadside, and it was full of inconspicuousness.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a stone in this place where there was nothing except walls, floors and ceilings on all sides, Leihe wouldn't even notice it.
She wanted to say something else, but one hand suddenly reached out and forcibly turned off the light source of Leihe's flashlight. At the same time, the other hand waved in front of Leihe's mask as a reminder to be silent.
Lei He's body was slightly stiff.
Although she didn't know why Luo Mu's reaction was so loud, she still controlled her mouth. Following the hints in Luo Mu's eyes, she didn't make a sound and gently exited the passage on the left.
This back and forth wasted more than half an hour.
Back outside the passage, the two of them discovered that there was an object similar to a stone gate at the edge of the passage. They wanted to break through, but they were stuck because of Lei He's preparation.
This passage is indeed wrong.
Faced with Lei He's confused look, Luo Mu also explained directly to her: "The thing just now is called a keystone, and it is the carrier of a Pokémon called Huayan."
According to legend, the Pokémon is a Pokémon created from 108 souls gathered together. Because there are bad souls mixed in, the Pokémon is always evil and does many evil things.
Although there are good flower rock monsters, like the flower rock monster in Zhulan.
But whether it was the inexplicably cold environment in the passage just now, or the ominous aura radiating around the keystone, Luo Mu could tell that the flower rock monster that existed at the dead end of the tomb passage was probably not an easy master to serve.
The abilities of ghost-type Pokémon are always weird and changeable. In addition, Luo Mu did not bring Mimikyu with him when he went out this time. After comprehensive judgment, he felt that it would be better to pretend that he did not see the keystone and leave directly. .
Fortunately, no one has ever visited this tomb. The flower rock monster in the keystone may have fallen into a deep sleep. As long as no one makes a big noise to wake it up, it will not wake up.
Hearing that the khaki stone was the keystone where the Huayan Monster resided, Lei He was surprised and even more frightened.
If she could, she didn't want to face those ghost-type Pokémon that were famous for their weird abilities, especially the Huayan Monster, which had an absolute reputation among their grave robbers and shocked everyone.
"Let's take the right passage this time."
The two said in unison.
This time, not only was the length of the passage greatly reduced, but the main tomb chamber, which was the target of Lei He and Luo Mu, also appeared normally at the end of the passage.
After opening the heavy stone door, the dust that had accumulated for a long time fell down. Fortunately, the two people's masks had no problem protecting against this level of dust, and respiratory infections were even more impossible.
Entering the inner space behind the stone door, it is more like a large room composed of many small rooms than a tomb.
Leihe looked excitedly and found the room where the paper materials were stored.
Luo Mu visited the tomb everywhere.
In the center of the tomb is a coffin, covered with gorgeous silks and jewelry, which shows that the owner of the tomb must have carried many things when he was an official.
Various funerary objects are placed around the coffin, including pottery, jade, bronze, etc. These funerary objects are of exquisite craftsmanship and represent the glory of the Padian Empire in the past. They are valuable objects worth thousands of gold in the outside world and are very popular among antique collectors. love.
But neither Luo Mu nor Lei He, who was washing his hands in a golden basin, had any interest in these things.
Luo Mu shined the flashlight on the walls of the surrounding space again.
As expected, there were many abstract murals carved on the walls, as well as a bunch of ancient characters that Luo Mu couldn't understand.
But even if he couldn't understand it, Luo Mu could roughly guess what the content of the mural was.
Just like Leihe said, writing about the romantic history of the owner of the tomb, that is, the official who served closely by the emperor of the ancient Padian Empire, has almost no reference value.
At this time, Lei He's excited voice sounded in the second room on Luo Mu's left.
"Sure enough, his diary records the situation at that time!"
"After absorbing many desires and evil thoughts, the auspicious weapon that exploded in the hands of the Emperor of the Padian Empire was completely reversed. It turned into the four major disasters called the Treasure of Disaster."
"The crisis in the royal city of the Padian Empire was finally suppressed by the Pokémon Tamer, and they were suppressed and sealed into four ancestral halls with eight stakes."
"The story is true. In the torrent of history, this thing really happened!"
When Luo Mu came to the room filled with parchment scrolls and some old books, he happened to see Lei He's eyes glowing, "murmuring to himself" in a voice of uncontrollable surprise at the yellowing parchment scroll in his hand.
It seems that Reha is extremely excited that the legend is real.
"By the way, maybe there are clues about the 32 piles and the sealed temple in the few words in other notes!"
Leihe started rummaging around the room again.
Luo Mu frowned slightly and suddenly asked: "After you find the pile and the sealed temple, what are you going to do? Unlock the seal?"
".There should be other parchment notes that record some fragments."
Lei He looked around and talked about him, but picked up another old parchment and interpreted the ancient characters on it.
The whole room fell into silence for a while until Lei He finished the interpretation and read out the contents of the parchment.
"The Pokémon trainer used his own life to suppress the four treasures of disaster. Subsequently, the owner of the tomb contacted the other person's descendants and learned some information from the other person's descendants."
"One Pokémon corresponds to a shrine. The eight stakes built around the shrine are used to suppress the power of disaster."
"In other words, as long as all the corresponding stakes are pulled out, the Pokémon known as the Calamity Treasure can be released."
"But if you want to pull out these piles, you need someone with no distracting thoughts in your heart to lift their seal."
The more Lei He interpreted it, the more she frowned.
He regards the Treasure of Disaster as a coveted treasure, and wants to prove its existence and make it his own.
Can I really pull out those piles with myself like this?
Seeing Lei He fall into silence after reading the note, Luo Mu stressed: "Padia is very peaceful now, everything is prosperous and developing. Once the seal is unlocked, those who are distorted by the desires of selfish and greedy people will The disaster will surely wreak havoc on this land again.”
"You can't break the seal rashly without preparation, otherwise you will just be acting for your own selfish desires."
Lei He was a little embarrassed by what Luo Mu said, and she was completely unable to refute what Luo Mu emphasized.
Indeed, she only wanted to see the legendary existence with her own eyes, and preferably take it as her own, but she never considered what would happen after freeing the Treasure of Disaster.
But this was the goal that drove her to go ashore, obtain an archaeologist certificate, and even join Orange College. Now, how could she just give up?
Lei He knew very well that if she insisted on breaking the seal, she would be subdued by Luo Mu next.
While enjoying the convenience, she could not stop other changes caused by Luo Mu's companionship.
Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?
Lei He browsed through the notes without giving up until she saw something on a certain parchment note. As if she had found new hope, Lei He shouted to Luo Mu: "Look quickly, there is something in this room or the tomb." There should be a wooden slip somewhere that records something important!"
"Then what is recorded above is most likely the method that can perfectly fulfill your and my wishes!"
Luo Mu took a deep look at Lei He without saying a word, and buried his head in finding the wooden slips Lei He mentioned.
Soon Luo Mu made a discovery.
Among the pile of funerary objects next to the coffin, a wooden slip full of traces of time lay there quietly.
Picking up the wooden slip, Luo Mu handed it to Lei He who came after hearing the news.
He has already read the text above. It cannot be said that he cannot understand it. He can only say that he cannot understand the meaning of those ghostly symbols at all.
After a moment, Leihe's eyes were shining after she completed the interpretation, and she shared with Luo Mu the real purpose of the officials' contact with the trainers, as well as the second half of the work that the Pokémon trainers who suppressed the Calamity Treasure at that time were unable to continue. .
After the destruction of the royal city of the Padian Empire, during the reconstruction process, the emperor who caused the full awakening of the Treasure of Disaster fell seriously ill and passed away before the royal city could be successfully rebuilt.
The Padian emperor who took office next was one of the few wise emperors in history.
Knowing the disaster caused by his father, the emperor, who felt guilty and wanted to make up for his mistakes, sent the owner of the tomb to contact the descendants of the Pokémon trainer who suppressed the four major disasters.
Because of this, the tomb owner's notes frequently mention that descendant.
After all, the contents of the notes are incomplete and incomplete.
The contents on the wooden slips recorded all the causes and processes.
The 32 piles corresponding to the four temples not only have the function of suppressing the power of disaster, but their real use is to fundamentally and completely purify them through these 32 piles that connect the source of curses, desires and evil thoughts of the treasure of disaster.
After the purification is completed, the Treasure of Disaster will turn back into an auspicious weapon that brings peace and harmony. At that time, the seal can be opened, allowing the four Treasures of Disaster, no, the four treasures of auspiciousness to see the light of day again.
It is a pity that the trainer with such foresight died of exhaustion after suppressing the four treasures of disaster. The strength of the second generation of trainers as descendants is far less than that of the previous generation. Even because of the sudden death of the previous generation, knowledge has been lost. of fault.
Even with the help of the Padian Empire, the owner of the tomb and the second-generation tamer traveled many places, but could not find the necessary things that could purify the curse, evil thoughts and desires that polluted the treasure.
"The necessary thing is clear water to purify all filth. As long as you find it and pour it evenly on the wooden pile, until the thick black smoke emerges from the pile, the purification of a pile will be considered successful. ”
"After completing the purification of the corresponding eight stakes, you can go to the location of the shrine and unlock the seal of the Pokémon that has been transformed into an auspicious treasure."
"These are all things that the previous generation of trainers have mentioned, but we still can't figure out what the clear water that purifies all filth is. Even if we use the empire's intelligence network, we can't find out what it is in other empires and countries. Get useful clues there.”
"We have traveled across thousands of rivers and mountains, searching for the time for nearly ten years, but in the end we found nothing. The depressed Emperor was also worried about the seal left to future generations, and passed away without knowing when it would collapse."
Lei He read out the last paragraph recorded on the wooden slip, her expression slightly embarrassed.
Although she is very interested in history and legends, just like the second-generation trainer and the owner of the tomb, she is also confused about the so-called "clear water that purifies all filth".
Different from Reha.
At this time, Luo Mu had a clear understanding in his heart.
Perhaps it was because of his own questions that Lei He chose to continue searching for a complete method in the tomb. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to find this wooden slip, which did not exist at all in the game.
It is even more impossible to find a way to purify the desire, evil thoughts and curses contaminated by the Treasure of Disaster.
Regarding the word purification, Luo Mu actually had the impression that many Pokémon could do this.
Just like Suicune who purifies dirty water.
But if the conditions were limited to "clear water that purifies all filth", Luo Mu's mind immediately appeared in the mind of a Pokémon with a black body that resembled a mermaid and long flowing hair.
They were the colleagues and companions of Kappu Moo who taught Bai Pengpeng and Huazhu Huanhuan their special grass field moves, and taught Heavy Mud Drawing Horse how to use plowing moves to create the most fertile land.
Its name is Capu Fin, and it is the island guardian of the Alola region, a Water + Fairy Pokémon.
Capu Fin is the patron saint of Poni Island, which controls the water. Its habitat in the depths of Poni Island is shrouded in thick fog and is revered by people.
If some of the pink-cut and black Kapu and Butterfly are Pokémon that Luo Mu tries not to come into contact with and would make himself unhappy, then Kapu and Finfin are even better than Kapu and Butterfly in a sense. One chip.
Capu Fin is good at manipulating water and has the ability to create thick fog.
Because he hates getting injured in combat, Capu Fin tends to create thick fog that disturbs his opponent's mind, confusing them and causing them to engage in self-destructive behavior.
But the mist also has another function - it allows people or Pokémon to see their most important existence that has passed away.
Just like an episode of the Pokémon Sun and Moon animation, Mao entered the mist of Capu Fin and saw his deceased mother inside, and then met a grateful Pokémon who was suspected of being the reincarnation of his mother. Shemi.
Xiaozhi's hot cat saw the dead long-haired dog in the mist, and learned the flame fang move from the long-haired dog.
Even though he was a little reluctant, Luo Mu had always wanted to meet Kapu Fin Fin.
If you want to untie the knot in the heart of the leader of Kuailong, the mother of Kuailong, except for Celebi and Dialga who can travel through time and space but are elusive, Kapu... who still has a fixed residence and can also see the deceased... Fin's Mist is easier to pull off.
But as it happens, Capu Fin also has another ability besides creating fog.
It creates special water that purifies body and mind and removes impurities.
This special water, called purifying water, is exactly the same as the "clear water that purifies all filth" written on the wooden slip.
If Capu Fin's purifying water is the "clear water that purifies all filth," it makes sense why the second-generation Pokémon trainer and the owner of the tomb have never found it.
You know, at that time, the Alola Islands were still isolated from the world!
Even in the past hundred years, the Alola Islands began to have frequent exchanges with the continents of other alliance regions.
It makes perfect sense logically.
And if you want to get these purifying waters, you have to endure the fog generated by Kapu Fin Fin and get its approval.
"That's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it?"
Luo Mu's eyes widened, as if he was in shock because of this series of coincidences.
Now, am I going to include another trip to the Alola region in my itinerary?
