Chapter 12: The Mysterious Black Chest

"This gate is quite strict, it seems that this monster usually does too many bad things, and he is afraid that the enemy will come to him. Zhu Bajie looked at the stone gate in front of him and couldn't help complaining.

Ruan Jiu frowned, thought for a while and said, "There is no strong demonic aura in this gate, and it is very likely that the monster is not inside." ”

"Can you still tell if there's any demonic energy in there?" Zhu Bajie said in surprise.

"It's not a look, it's a feeling. Although I don't know if it's accurate. Ruan Jiu said truthfully. It was true, after all, she didn't know why she felt that way. If you really want to explain, it may also be related to an instinctive feeling after she became a snake demon.

"Yes, since you don't think there are any monsters in there, then what are we waiting for?" said Zhu Bajie, taking a deep breath.

"Second Senior Brother, what are you going to do?"

After Ruan Jiu finished speaking, he saw Zhu Bajie raise the nail rake in his hand and smash it hard against the stone door.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the entire ground was almost shaken.

Ruan Jiu crossed a black line on his forehead, thinking that you are too reckless, right?

Not to mention that Zhu Bajie also has some skills, this rake actually smashed the thick stone gate into two. Seeing the stone door smash open, Zhu Bajie picked up the nine-tooth nail rake and looked at Ruan Jiu with a proud face: "What are you still doing in a daze?

Ruan Jiu sighed lightly, and followed Zhu Bajie towards the door with a helpless expression.

Inside the stone gate is an empty courtyard, and there are several strangely shaped stone statues on both sides of the courtyard, which are a little crazy at a glance. Across the courtyard, you will be greeted by a locked main house. The material of the lock seemed to be made of bronze, and before Ruan Jiu could step forward to take a closer look, he was smashed in two by Zhu Bajie again. Now Ruan Jiu really couldn't help it.

"Second Senior Brother, what if you smash it like this, what if there is a trap in it?" Ruan Jiu complained a little.

Zhu Bajie was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Didn't you say that there are no monsters here?"

"I'm just guessing, this river bottom water house is really weird, I'm worried that there might be something bad. Ruan Jiu said with a solemn face.

"Uh...... Then you didn't say it sooner. ”

Zhu Bajie's body shrank back slightly, and there was obviously a trace of fear on his face.

Ruan Jiu secretly rolled his eyes, now he knew that he was scared? Why didn't you see your soft hand when he smashed the lock just now? It's good now, but it's better to blame her.

But since it's all smashed, there's no point in thinking about it anymore. So Ruan Jiu said: "Don't mess with the things inside for the time being after you go in for a while, just now we made such a big noise but no one came out, I think there is indeed no one here." ”

Zhu Bajie nodded: "That's right, I thought so just now." ”

So the two of them carefully pushed open the door, and saw that the layout inside was the same as that of an ordinary house, and almost all the furniture that should have been there. The two of them looked around carefully, and finally their eyes fell on a large box in the southwest corner of the room.

The box was half a man's height, and it was dark and shiny. At the top, some mountains and rivers are carved with gilt, which looks very simple and mysterious. The two were immediately attracted by this mysterious big box.

"Good guy, this box is so big, it can't be filled with gold and silver jewelry, right?" Zhu Bajie looked at the black box in front of him, staring straight at it with a pair of eyes, eager to open it on the spot and take a look.

Although Ruan Jiu was also extremely curious in her heart, reason told her that they couldn't move this box.

"Senior brother, do you feel a little cold?"

"Cold?"

Zhu Bajie was slightly stunned, he glanced at Ruan Jiu beside him and suddenly smiled: "This river is cold to the bone, you are thin and thin, and you are wearing such thin clothes." Naturally, it will feel cold. With that, he had to drag off his coat and let Ruan Jiu put it on.

"No, I mean, since we entered this room, have you felt like the temperature was much cooler than outside?"

After listening to Ruan Jiu's words, Zhu Bajie closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

"Hey? You seem to be a little cold when you say that. It's really a strange thing, could it be that this monster likes cold and is afraid of heat, and hides ice cubes in this house to cool down?" Zhu Bajie said in surprise.

Ruan Jiuxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, she didn't think it was caused by some kind of ice cube. Because this kind of coldness seems to come from the bones, it is impossible for those ordinary outside ice cubes to do it.

The two of them were feeling strange when suddenly the black box in the corner of the wall suddenly moved. Although the amplitude is not very large, it is particularly noticeable under the silence of the water.

"Senior sister, be careful!"

Zhu Bajie pulled Ruan Jiu behind him, staring at the black box in the corner with a wary face. Ruan Jiu didn't expect that at the moment of crisis, Zhu Bajie would be the first to think of protecting himself, and he was stunned and felt a little moved in his heart.

"Knock knock!"

There was a loud noise coming from inside the box, as if something was struggling to escape from it.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang. The black lid that had been pressed against the top of the box broke away from the box, flipped up a few times and slammed into the ground.

Ruan Jiu and Zhu Bajie were taken aback and retreated behind them.

Looking at the black box again, I saw that a thick black gas was coming out of the black box. These black gases seemed to have substance, and after coming into contact with the air outside, they quickly deposited and fell, turning into a disgusting and strange black liquid.

"Run!"

Ruan Jiu secretly said that something was wrong, pulled up Zhu Bajie, who was still in a daze on the side, and turned around and ran out.

Fortunately, the speed of the black liquid was not very fast, and when the two of them reached the courtyard, the liquid had just moved to the door of the room.

"What the hell is this?" Zhu Bajie couldn't help but ask in astonishment as he looked at the puddle of black liquid not far away.

"I don't know, what the hell is such a disgusting thing!" Ruan Jiu said with a disgusted expression. She didn't want to be splashed with this black liquid. Leaving aside whether it is poisonous or not, it is true that I have been disgusted for a few days.

"Look! it looks like it's become a human!" exclaimed Pig as he touched the pile of black liquid on the ground.

Ruan Jiu looked up and saw that those black liquids were constantly accumulating in place, and finally they were accumulating more and more to form something similar to a human form. The thing was black all over, with human limbs but no human face. Now in human form, he was staring at Ruan Jiu and the others motionlessly.

Ruan Jiu shuddered slightly in his heart, the feeling of being stared at by this thing was too uncomfortable. Although the guy didn't have eyes, Ruan Jiu could clearly feel that he was being stared at by an evil gaze.

Zhu Bajie, who was standing with her, also felt the same way at this moment, the two glanced at each other, and then raised their heads and shouted up in unison.

"Brother Monkey, help!"
