Every time Jiaqin slaughtered a mouse, he could hear the dull sound of a heavy object hitting copper and iron. Hua Jiuxi thought to himself that these rat monsters didn't know what kind of physique they were, but they were actually hard bones like machines.

Seeing that Jiaqin was about to clean up the rat monsters, He Tianlong spoke again: "I see that a few rat monsters have leaked - maybe there are still nests!" ”

"It's a pity I didn't have time to make a mark!" Hua Jiuxi patted his head and said.

"No need...... To this extent, sniffing with your nose is fine. Jiaqin said, "Come with me." ”

It turned out that in addition to this cave, the rat monsters continued to dig out another small dark room, and there was an extremely narrow tunnel between the cave and the dark room. Hua Jiuxi saw that this tunnel could not even be accessed by children like leeches, so he said, "What should I do?" If you destroy this place at will—I'm afraid I'll collapse the whole tower. ”

"I have a solution, how about setting a fire first?" Hua Jiuxi said.

"It's an old way to catch mice, but it sounds good." Xiang Ling agreed, "Even if you don't suffocate to death, you will be burned to death." ”

Seeing that there was no objection, Hua Jiuxi took out another seed from his pocket. Xiang Ling saw that Hua Jiuxi's pocket was really a big view garden, and there were at least hundreds of species planted, and those who were uneasy about the truth saw it, but it was just the same.

"It's one of the fastest-growing plants." Hua Jiuxi pointed to the small round grain in his palm and said, "It can wither and prosper in tens of seconds, and a spark can ignite." They then spread their seeds by scorching heat and burst, making them a dangerous plant. ”

"Wait." Hua Jiuxi heard some questions, "If the plant spreads throughout He Dian, what should it be?" ”

Hua Jiuxi said, "Chaofeng, you don't have to worry - plants need to grow with light, water and soil, right?" There is no such thing as an alpine land, so of course the plants do not grow in large areas. ”

"Okay." He Tianlong was suspicious, and saw which seeds Hua Jiuxi threw into the deep hole. I poured a little yellow oil into a small gourd, and I heard a "bang" sound, and a gust of wind blew on the faces of several people.

It was the sound of a plant squeezing out the air in the hole as it grew rapidly, and before it could blink an eye, the small hole was already overflowing with a cloud of emerald green. Xiang Ling's eyes widened as he watched, only to see that the emerald green turned red and yellow at a visible rate, and finally hung down lifelessly and cracked.

"Let's not rush to light the fire first, we don't know how deep the hole is." Hua Jiuxi said, "Let this grass grow rapidly for a period of time, according to common sense, they can gallop for a hundred miles in ten minutes." ”

When the time was almost estimated, Hua Jiuxi casually grabbed two pieces of gravel, and said while knocking on them: "I said, a Martian son-"

Before he finished speaking, a ball of fire rushed towards his face, and he didn't have time to dodge, and when he looked back at everyone, his eyebrows were already half gone. Fortunately, there were two cold-faced people opposite, Xiang Ling and Jiaqin, and only He Tianlong laughed unscrupulously when he saw this.

"It's good that it just burned your eyebrows, not disfigured." Xiang Ling said, "I'll go get some clean water to wash your face." ”

Hua Jiuxi waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, I can grow new eyebrows by applying some ointment." It's just to tell you how flammable this dead grass is. ”

First there was sound and light, followed by puffs of green smoke - this thing was not as choking as everyone imagined, after all, the grass contained very few nutrients. But such a large amount of smoke should not be a problem to squeeze all the air in the cave.

Xiangling fetched water back, and Hua Jiuxi didn't use it to clean his face - it was splashed directly into the mouth of the cave, so that the dust would settle and precipitate, and everyone would be able to explore it in a while.

"If I'm worried about suffocating the smoke, I can go down and continue to kill the enemy." "I can rest for a long time. ”

No matter what unbelievable words he said, Hua Jiuxi was convinced, so as soon as he arched his hand and said "Youlao", he was relieved to ask Jiaqin to enter the tunnel.

I saw him turn around and burst into the hole like a drill—the little cave trembled and was slammed into a lot of size. Hua Jiuxi was really afraid that he would completely break through the foundation and bury everyone alive.

After worrying for a long time, I suddenly saw a big hand sticking out of the crypt - Jiaqin's efficiency is really outrageous. In this way, he lifted out a dead giant rat. This is the culprit of the rat monster's trouble.

"I guess all the mice we met were metamorphosed from this one." Jiaqing threw the giant rat on the ground - the individual of this thing looked like a teenager, and for a mouse, it must be a rarity among the rare.

"If you don't believe it, you can open its stomach and take a look." Jiaqing didn't wait for others to respond, so he waved his hand, and there was a gale in the void, and Hua Jiuxi felt that his face was about to be swept away by the wind after the fire was burned.

The rat's chest and abdomen were cut straight open, and there were no organs such as lung lobes in the ribs of the chest, only a beating heart. In addition, there were a dozen or so mice that did not open their eyes and squeezed what should have been various internal organs, ready to move.

"Wait, there's something pressing down on these mice?" Hua Jiuxi noticed that under the layers of rat monsters, there was a corner of yellow and white things. Immediately, he did not care for any filth, but stretched out his hand and took out the thing.

Hua Jiuxi observed for a moment and said, "This thing seems to have grown from the spine." After a few thoughts, he used extremely fine spiritual power to cut off the giant rat's spine completely before he got this scroll.

"What's written on it?" Xiang Ling originally hated this kind of dirty thing, but the matter was urgent, and he couldn't let his personality go by for a while.

"There are no words, just dense black dots." Hua Jiuxi said, this is strange.

The material of this scroll is similar to the skin of a mouse, and you can even feel its texture. And every inch of the roll has at least 100 black dots, which makes the written side of the roll look as if it has been blackened by ink.

"I guess, it's some kind of miniature print." Xiang Ling said, "Which of us has better eyesight? ”

Hua Jiuxi and Jiaqin shook their heads, and He Tianlong saw that he finally came in handy, and hurriedly said: "The old man's tricks are not bad, don't we just rely on it to live?" As big as a dragon whale, as small as a fine dust, you can see it clearly. ”

"Don't just say you don't practice, we'll all wait." Hua Jiuxi handed the scroll to him.

He Tianlong solemnly put on a pair of golden gloves and glanced at the scroll slightly. He muttered, "Miss Xiangling is right, this thing is indeed a shortened text, and the content of the text is the discarded file in my cherished name!" ”

Hua Jiuxi sighed and said, "Lord Chaofeng, if it weren't for us this time, you would have made a mistake." ”

Hua Jiuxi didn't know what to do, and said: "These are all archives to be destroyed, but I don't know who can use them?" ”

"Even a small coat or a piece of papyrus has its value – not to mention the sheer volume of archives?" Hua Jiuxi said, "I didn't expect the enemy to come up with such a method to collect information, it's really unheard of." ”

After all, it was an intelligence organization, and He Tianlong also paid attention to the recent news that the Oriental monsters were going to cause chaos, so he asked in a low voice: "Is it really the enemy's trick?" ”

Hua Jiuxi nodded: "Nine times out of ten - I know their methods, they are very good at searching for intelligence, and they will not let go of any corner and corner, the so-called 'fishing with all their might'." Over the past few months, these rat monsters have devoured a lot of files. The rat was in charge of bringing the intel back to the enemy nest - we were the only one who was killed. ”

He Tianlong stroked his heart and said, "Fortunately, the new file was not destroyed - that is a big problem!" It is also the luck of our He Dian, who did not become a sinner of his family and country. ”

"It's a pity that I can't catch big fish with a long line." Hua Jiuxi said, "I don't know where the rat will send the information, so that we can find the enemy's lair." However, it's not too late to make amends. Mr. He, should we also talk about the origin of the little beast? This also involves the enemy. ”

Some cold sweat oozed from He Tianlong's head, and he hurriedly said: "If you don't say it earlier, if it is out of righteousness, how can I sell Guanzi?" This kind of afterthought trick, of course, was seen through by Hua Jiuxi, he only smiled and did not answer.

"Come with me." He Tianlong led everyone to a large tower again, only to see a few table clocks placed in the free space in this big tower, and the hands of all clocks were stationary.

"Is the flow of time in this space stationary?" Hua Jiuxi asked.

"Yes, yes." He Tianlong was proud for a while.

"How?" Hua Jiuxi has always been extremely curious, "If this is also a secret, then there is no need to talk about it." ”

"No, it's not." He Tianlong said as he walked behind a table clock, tinkered for a long time, and came out with something in his hands.

"Pretty." Xiang Ling couldn't help but make such a sound when he saw the thing in He Tianlong's hand.

I saw that the thing seemed to be a handful of water, but the color was pitch black - not the black of ink but the black of the night sky, and what was even more amazing was that the inside of this thing was really like the night sky with countless large and small stars.

"It's really unseen and unheard of." Hua Jiuxi said, "To put it simply, I don't know what it is, sir?" ”

"We don't have a specific name for this thing." He Tianlong smiled and said, "The Buddhist book only says that this thing is called 'time worm', you know, the word 'time' in Sanskrit also has the meaning of 'black' and 'take'." That's a fitting fit. ”

"So this creature can devour time?" Xiang Ling asked.

"Yes." He Tianlong said, "Therefore, time in this tower is almost static, but it cannot be restrained by large living creatures. ”

"So we can still talk and ......walk inside," Hua Jiuxi said with a smile.

"This thing was given to our ancestor by a great achiever in the Western Regions back then." He Tianlong said, "With it, we can preserve the archives and books as much as possible." In addition, the snow area is cold and dry, and there are no silverfish paper fish, so even the minutes and archives of three or four thousand years ago have been preserved. ”

"Three or four thousand years, haven't they been declassified?" Hua Jiuxi asked.

"Naturally, many of them are about the fate of beings in the Three Realms." He Tianlong said, "I'm afraid it will take many years before it is no longer a secret." ”

"But it seems that your land is a little understaffed." Hua Jiuxi asked.

"No, what you see is just a partition. The helm of our He Dian is under the emperor. He Tianlong said.

The emperor is Kunlun Mountain, which must be another long story if you want to study it carefully, Hua Jiuxi didn't plan to ask: "This insect doesn't hurt people, right?" ”

"Hehe, what you said, I'm just going to give you a few." He Tianlong said, "Those who devoured the insects had some extra time that day, and during this time, others could not detect it." If you think about it, it's useful. ”

"You're welcome." Hua Jiuxi said, "We are very gracious." With that, he reached out and took the worm, which he thought would be like ice water—but it barely felt the touch and had no weight. It seems to be just time itself.

Xiang Ling hesitated for a moment, and asked for one. However, Jiaqin said that he spent a lot of time in zazen on weekdays, and there was no need for this strange insect.

This made He Tianlong very embarrassed, because the main force to annihilate the rat monster this time was Jiaqin. Thinking about it, since Jiaqin was a protector beast, he gave him a few pieces of Bei Ye's remnants, and Jiaqin accepted it and put it in his chest Quack (Quack, a small Buddhist shrine as a chain pendant - author).

"Straight to the point, tell me about the little beast - you named it Husu?" He Tianlong said.

This is the point, Hua Jiuxi asked: "Yes, what is its real name?" ”

"The big pagoda in front of me, in which the archives are all about Western monsters, especially the monsters in Buddhist books." He Tianlong said, "This little thing is naturally related to it." ”
