Chapter 221 Chronicle of the Year
Master Li was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Dao Chief, what you said is true? I think ......."
The Taoist priest said excitedly: "Don't care so much, go in, as long as we break through this line of defense, we can find Penglai Immortal Island." We can all live forever and enjoy glory and wealth forever, hurry!"
Master Li gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword: "Don't be afraid, it's not a ghost, it's a living person like us, kill it." ”
"Kill-" * wrenched the crossbow bed on the ship with a roar, and fought with the Qin army on the opposite side.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, they injured each other, but * showed courage instead, at least they had seen that the Qin army on the opposite side was not an immortal Yin soldier. In a short moment, the momentum of the * rose steadily, urging the warship to move closer to the opponent's ship...... In the blink of an eye, the two strong teams were close to each other and fought together.
Before the two powerful armies that had been famous for thousands of years could decide the winner, a huge whirlpool burst out at the bottom of the ship, and two large ships that were enough to accommodate hundreds of troops were swept into the vast ocean floor in an instant.
Ruan Dalong and I were in shock, and the scene in front of us suddenly disappeared without a trace. The warship we were on was slowly sailing into Ghost Island, and in front of the ship happened to be the beach where Ruan Dalong and I woke up.
At this time, the embarrassed Lord Li and the Taoist priest appeared on the bow of the boat again, and Lord Li was pleasantly surprised: "Daoist, look, Xiandao, it's Xiandao!"
The Taoist priest's face was gloomy as water: "This is not Immortal Island. ”
Master Li's face suddenly changed: "Dao...... Taoist ...... What do you say?"
The Taoist priest said with a solemn face: "Poor Dao asks himself if there is still some cultivation in Wangqi, this island is full of evil spirits, and there are murderous opportunities everywhere, which is definitely not the scene that Immortal Island should have." ”
Master Li's lips trembled and said, "Dao Chief, you can't be mistake......n, right?" There is a gate on the top of the mountain, is that a fairy gate?"
The Taoist priest looked up at the towering gate on the top of the mountain, and I quickly asked Ruan Dalong, "Is that the gate of heaven you have seen?"
"Yes!" Ruan Dalong said: "There are clouds and mist near the Tianmen we see, this Tianmen ......"
The Gate of Heaven that appeared in front of us was just standing on the top of a bare mountain, and there was nothing to see around except for the rocks. Is the mountain not high enough, or is the cloud not rising?
I was frowning, and the Taoist priest had already spoken: "The immortal family has its own immortal style, when have you ever seen the immortal gate standing in the middle of the poor mountains and evil waters?
Master Li said with a pale face: "Then we, then we ......."
The Taoist priest sighed: "The sea area behind has been blocked by demon fog, let's look along the coast to find a place to stay, right?"
Master Li shouted weakly: "Turn the rudder and sail around the coast......"
The warship went around the area where we were staying and headed in the opposite direction. I asked in a low voice, "Old Ruan, why didn't their boat break?"
Ruan Dalong was also stunned by my question: "Yes! Why is their ship okay?"
The ghost ship I rode on was no less sturdy than this warship, not to mention Ruan Dalong's pleasure boat, no matter how strong the ship made by modern technology was stronger than a wooden ship, but our ship was all torn to pieces by the whirlpool, why was this Tang Dynasty warship able to pass through the whirlpool unharmed to reach the inner island?
No, not only this battleship, but also the fairy ship. Even the warships of the Qing army did not suffer heavy damage, otherwise, it would not have been possible for them to move their artillery to the top of the mountain.
Before Nguyen Dalong and I speculated, the battleship had already rounded most of the island and stopped in front of a cave.
Master Li said in a deep voice: "Light the torch and drive the boat into the hole." ”
His order was not wrong, many ships docked at the ocean would prefer this kind of naturally formed closed dock, only in this way can the ship be protected to the greatest extent.
As the battleship slowly sailed into the cave, the torches also illuminated the cave as bright as day, and when I looked into the cave by the light of the fire, I was immediately attracted by a large statue.
The bronze giant tripod placed at the bottom of the cave is half a person tall, the green smoke curls above the top cover, and the charcoal fire under the top has not been extinguished, it looks like the person who opened the alchemy has just left, and has not had time to extinguish the Dan fire.
"Get off the boat and be optimistic about Danding. The Taoist priest walked quickly to Juding and gently inhaled the white smoke in the Ding: "This is the treasure of the ancient Danshi refining pills?"
Lord Li's eyes lit up: "That's not ......"
"Wait!" the Taoist priest waved his hand to stop the other party: "Come over two people, open the top cover." ”
The two * worked together to push open the lid of the tripod, and the rich white smoke also rose up, and the * near the outer big ding unconsciously showed a look of great enjoyment, and they were desperately inhaling the smoke.
I whispered to Ruan Dalong and asked, "Do you smell anything?"
"Nope. Ruan Dalong shook his head and said, "You want to say that what we see is all an illusion, right?"
Clever illusions can not only make people hallucinate visually, but also the sense of touch and smell will be confused.
Since the other party was able to make such a grand illusion, he would not just stay at the visual illusion, did the other party deliberately want us to know that he had no malicious intent?
While I was figuring it out, the Taoist priest and Master Li raised their heads at the same time, and the Taoist priest quietly blocked the two soldiers who opened the Ding: "All retreat, the immortal pill must not be contaminated with the worldly qi, everyone retreats from the five zhang away, kneels and kowtows." ”
* While they were retreating, Lord Li and Taoist priests were making eye contact frequently.
Master Li stretched out his hand and made a gesture to buckle the ding, but the Taoist priest held down his wrist and shook his head fiercely.
What did the two of them see in Dingli?
My mind turned sharply and strode to the edge of the ding, and I glanced at the middle of the ding, and I couldn't help but change my face. There was a teenage girl sitting cross-legged in Dingli, the other party had been dead for a long time, and the skin and flesh on her face still had traces of being steamed, and it looked like she had been steamed to death in Dingli.
The corpse's hands were held in the shape of a pill on the protruding lower abdomen, and at first glance it looked like guarding the fetus in the womb.
I only felt that my scalp was numb, and Ruan Dalong said quickly: "This is the Rending Alchemy, the evil art in the Dan Law." ”
I said in a deep voice, "Do you refine the fetus in your womb into an elixir?"
"No!" Ruan Dalong said: "Rending must be a boy and a girl, and only the pure yang qi of a boy and a girl is suitable for nourishing the pill." The corpse was not a fetus in its belly, but a formed elixir. ”
Just as I was about to speak, the Taoist priest had already walked to the side of the Danding, put his hand into the Ding, and gently stroked, dissecting the abdominal cavity of the corpse, and the pill the size of a dragon's eye instantly rolled out of the corpse's abdomen.
The Taoist priest said slowly: "We have no water and no food to stay on the island now, and we will eventually wait for death, fortunately, there are immortals who guide the way and give the elixir, this is not only our way of life, but also our chance!"
The Taoist priest's words were obviously not addressed to the crowd*, but to Master Li, whose face changed a little before gritting his teeth and saying, "What the Taoist chief said is true." Come here! Get the elixir. ”
I haven't seen the scene in the bronze tripod, and naturally no one will have the truth or falsehood of the elixir, so they walked up one by one and took the elixir with both hands, and solemnly took the elixir.
The Taoist priest and Master Li always watched from the sidelines, and they did not work together to cover the lid until all the medicines* had been taken.
Are they waiting for the effects of the pill to kick in?
Soon after this thought crossed my mind, I saw * sitting cross-legged on the ground stand up one after another, and rushed desperately to the seashore, desperately plunging their heads into the water and drinking the seawater.
Master Li exclaimed, "Are you crazy?
"I'm thirsty!" the * pushed Master Lee away and plunged his head into the water again.
Master Li, who sat on the ground, ran to the Taoist priest with a roll: "Dao Chief, Dao Chief, what's wrong?"
The Taoist priest's face was also pale: "It's the pill, the pill has attacked." ”
"You, you, you......" Master Li pointed at the Taoist priest and was speechless for a long time, and the Taoist priest's face flushed as if he was drunk: "You also took the pill?"
"That's right!" the Taoist priest was still desperately trying to control himself at first, not letting himself rush to the beach, and in less than a moment, he couldn't control his hunger and thirst and rushed forward to bow his head and drink wildly.
Soon after I sat down on the shore after I had drunk my filled* one by one, blood-colored beads of sweat oozed from my head, and at first glance, it seemed as if the blood of my whole body had evaporated from the pores of the sweat and dripped down my cheeks to the ground.
But everyone seemed to be lying on the ground unconscious, stretching their limbs and half-closing their eyes, as if they were enjoying the comfort of being full of wine and food. After a while, all of them stood up and ran to the water's edge again and drank with their heads down......
After a few cycles, beads of sweat finally flowed from the top of their heads, but their skin became a golden color......
I couldn't help but gasp - it turns out that this is how the corpse soldiers who chased us on the island came?
When I looked at the shore again, the Taoist priest who had turned into a dried corpse shook the dust and said, "Master Li, you are the only one left here, if you want to live forever, there is still an elixir in the immortal ding." ”
"No, no, no...... I don't eat, I don't eat......" Master Li was so frightened that he was paralyzed on the ground and retreated again and again.
The Taoist priest sighed and said, "Let it be!"
The Taoist priest then closed his eyes and seemed to sit there meditating, the sun and moon outside the cave rotated several times in front of my eyes in a row, and the person who performed the illusion wanted to tell us that time was passing?
When I looked at Master Li again, he was already dying, and the Taoist priest spoke again: "Lord Li, don't you still take the pill?"
