48: Dragon
The name of the seventy-two stunts of Longhua Temple is of course thunderous to the ears of the martial artists in the rivers and lakes. Even if you just hear its name, you will feel shocked. Therefore, they are often cowardly before fighting,
But for Cheng Li, whether it is one-finger Zen or two-finger Zen, it is meaningless. Because he believes that only my powerful powers, only the weapons in my hands, and only myself are the real "strongest".
Faced with the combined entanglement of the four golden light fingers, Cheng Li didn't even look at it, he raised his left hand and waved his cross arm. In an instant, a large area of black gas appeared out of thin air, turned into the head of a fierce beast, and suddenly opened its mouth and devoured it. The four golden light fingers were all swallowed at once, leaving no traces.
At the same time, Cheng Li also slowly spit out four words, completing the unfinished sentence before. Exactly—"I will kill"!
The index finger on the trigger of Bar-Ray-T*** is lightly hooked inward. The bullet immediately whistled out of the chamber, piercing through Elder Purple's skull, and came in and out. The strange cracking sound of "pop~" passed, and Elder Purple lived up to his name, and his liver and "brain" smeared the ground. The body fell to the ground and never moved again.
"Whew~"
Cheng Li exhaled lightly, and as soon as the five fingers of his left arm were closed, the black qi that had transformed into a fierce beast immediately dissipated on its own. Raise your hand again and throw it away, leaving Bar-Ray-Ter-*** behind. The sniper rifle was half a foot away from his hand and disappeared into thin air, but it was also put away.
Cheng Li immediately turned around and set his eyes on the four monks of joy, anger and sorrow. said lightly: "Do you want to continue to fight again, or do you want to talk well?"
The four monks were shocked, and the "Le Monk", who was fat and looked like an optimistic monk, had a smile on his face that froze, and hurriedly shouted: "The demon is powerful." Senior brothers, let's retreat!"
People are of the same mind, and their hearts are of the same mind. Facing Cheng Li, who was as terrifying as a ghost, the four monks had already been frightened. Even if you have the ability, you can't raise a little fighting spirit to show it. At the moment, the three monks of joy, anger, and sorrow were busy nodding their heads, not to mention not saying much. The four of them took off in a hurry and leaped backwards to go back to the island in the middle of the lake.
The Bodhisattva blurted out: "Cheng Shao, don't let them go." There are so many strange things here, and it must be up to them to have a chance to uncover the secrets of this place. ”
Cheng Li nodded, kicked his feet hard, rubbed his body and jumped out, chasing after the four monks. The four monks glanced back in their busy schedules and were shocked when they saw Cheng Li chasing after him.
Without thinking, the angry monk immediately pursed his lips and whistled sharply. The whistle spread over the surface of the underground lake, like a circle of ripples. But in the blink of an eye, the ripples suddenly turned into a tumbling and boiling wave. Faintly, several huge black shadows can be seen swimming rapidly underwater,
said that it was too late, and then it was fast, but I heard a deafening sound of "bang~", and a huge black monster suddenly jumped up from under the water, opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, and slammed it at Cheng Li, who was still in mid-air. Speed, power, and time are all just right. Agile and fast, no less than the first-class masters on the rivers and lakes.
At the last moment, Cheng Li's left hand slapped out of thin air, and the surface of the lake was slapped by the force of his palm, and he immediately sunk downward, forming a big pit. With the help of this palm, Cheng Li stubbornly stopped the forward momentum, and instead retreated three feet back. The monster's mouth closed suddenly, and there was a "click~" sound, and it only bit into the air.
In a flash, Cheng Li had already seen it clearly. The monster was like a spindle, with thorns and spikes all over its body, short limbs, a long tail like a whip, and a fierce green light in its eyes, like a large crocodile. Looking at its size, as long as it opens its mouth and bites down, not to mention a person, even if it is a tall horse, it can be bitten into two pieces.
Cheng Li snorted softly and raised his hand. The specially made version of the golden Browning pistol was clenched in the palm of his hand, and he didn't even look at it, and he raised his hand to shoot it. The bullet whistled and flew through the air, not even half a millimeter of error, and hit the crocodile in the forehead.
"When~"
The sound of the clash of gold and iron exploded, and between the sparks and the splash, the crocodile just shook its head, and was unharmed. On the contrary, it took advantage of the trend. The long and wide tail was like a long serrated whip, and it was thrown at Cheng Li fiercely, trying to stop him and split his body.
The Browning pistol is powerful enough to kill any living creature in the world at a radius of fifty meters. Even the sturdy skulls of large animals such as elephants and rhinos are completely shattered by the power of bullets of four or five caliber bullets.
But right now, the distance between Cheng Li and this crocodile is only about one meter at most, and after eating a bullet head-on, this crocodile actually only bursts with a spark on his forehead? How could there be such powerful biological armor in the world?
The feeling of surprise and astonishment only flashed in the deepest part of my heart. Whether it was the Bodhisattva or the four monks of joy and sorrow, or the crocodile, they were completely unaware of the emotional changes that emerged in Cheng Li's heart.
In the next moment, Cheng Li put away the Browning pistol, broke his voice and snorted, grabbed it with both hands, and just grabbed the crocodile tail that was thrown over. With the strength of his arms, he twisted his waist again, and pulled up the whole huge crocodile, which weighed in tons, and turned it around for half a circle, and his hands suddenly let go. The giant crocodile couldn't help himself, and flew out of the air, crashing into the four monks of joy, anger and sorrow like a cannonball.
The four monks were shocked, shouted in unison, and each shot out a golden finger that was as flexible as a whip. Kankan wrapped around the giant crocodile and tossed it aside. I only heard the "dong ~" splash in all directions, and the giant crocodile smashed into the lake, stirring up a huge wave.
"Wow~"
One wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. At the same time as a giant crocodile fell into the water, there was a huge black shadow, breaking through the water and jumping into the sky. At the moment of lightning, Cheng Li only felt a flower in front of him, and he didn't even have time to hide, he was already surrounded by pitch black, and he didn't see the slightest light.
The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. In the distance, on the shore of the lake, the Bodhisattva's face turned pale, and his eyes widened to the limit, staring at the huge black shadow that rushed out of the water. She could see it clearly. This black shadow is actually a giant crocodile - or, perhaps, it should be called a "dragon".
The size of this dragon is more than three times larger than that of the giant crocodile before it! True to its name, it is a giant in the water! Its huge mouth can be swallowed even by a large buffalo. As for just one Cheng Li, it's even more of a problem.
This giant dragon is certainly huge, but it is also extremely scheming. It could have appeared to pounce a long time ago, but it was never ambushed. It had to wait until the smaller giant crocodile before was cleaned up, and Cheng Li had a moment of relaxation in his spirit, so he suddenly pounced and succeeded in one blow.
This giant dragon is so terrifying, it is swallowed alive, where is there a way to survive? In an instant, the Bodhisattva's mind completely became blank, and he only knew how to stand still. It was like a snow cave, and it was cold.
The four monks of joy, anger and sorrow were safe and sound, and set foot on the island in the middle of the lake again. The four of them looked at the giant dragon, and each of them was relieved, and they all let out a long breath. The four monks closed their eyes and lowered their eyebrows at the same time, and chanted with their palms together: "There is no Amitabha Buddha." May that benefactor die in bliss. Reincarnation ...... the afterlife"
The four old monks muttered and chanted, but it was obvious that their Dharma cultivation was still not enough, let alone to make the stubborn stone nod, or even to make the giant dragon stop and listen. Because compared to the size of the giant dragon, just one Cheng Li was not enough to fill its empty stomach pouch.
So after one bite, the Big Mac Dragons were still unsatisfied, and hit the others with their ideas.
Although the four monks combined, the weight must be heavier than the two women over there. But they set foot on the island in the middle of the lake, and all the creatures in the lake, including the giant dragon, seem to be afraid of the island in the middle of the lake, and do not want to approach it at all. Therefore, the giant dragon did not hesitate, and immediately used all fours to swim towards the shore of the lake.
Although the Bodhisattva Man also has a lot of ability, how can he deal with this behemoth beast? Even if he forcibly strikes, he will only hit the stone with an egg. So the only option at the moment is to escape.
The Bodhisattva gritted his teeth, and without hesitation, he picked up Xiaoqing, who was still unconscious, and was about to run away. But at this moment, the giant dragon that was originally walking like a fly, his steps suddenly stopped. Then he opened his huge mouth and let out a terrible scream from the sky.
Everyone was stunned at the same time, completely unaware of what was happening. But then, I saw the giant dragon rolling wildly like a sheep in a seizure. The giant tail flicked and slammed into the water, stirring up one monstrous wave after another.
At this time, everyone has already seen that something is wrong. Among the four monks, the "mourning monk" was the first to cry out: "The dragon seems to be in pain. Could it be ...... The person who was swallowed by it before is not dead yet?"
When these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically. But in the face of the dragon, which is crazy because of pain, no one has a chance to verify the truth. In an instant, I saw the dragon leap wildly, jumping several feet high out of thin air, and then "bang~" crashed into the lake, diving down to the bottom of the lake.
The roaring waves, like a landslide and tsunami, were pushed in all directions at the same time. Even the zenith of the underground caverns was swept up in the waves. Although there is a special force in the island in the middle of the lake, which makes the creatures in the lake dare not approach, the huge waves are not within the scope of the creatures. Suddenly, the four monks of joy, anger and sorrow were caught off guard and were slapped on the head by the huge waves. Although the four monks hurriedly resisted, they were not injured. But it is inevitable to become four chickens in the soup.
Finally, the huge waves passed, and the angry monk was the first to open his eyes, and immediately slapped his thigh hard, shouting: "Oh, the demon ran away with that woman!"
The other three monks hurriedly watched intently. But I saw that the other side was really empty, and there was nothing. I don't know when it happened, the Bodhisattva Man had already taken Xiaoqing and walked away without a trace.
Xi Seng sighed and comforted the three senior brothers: "If you run, just run." Anyway, our duty is just to stay here and not let the demons invade. Now in this way, it can be regarded as achieving the goal. ”
The mourning monk frowned and said, "Where is the dragon?"
Le Seng raised his eyes and scanned the surface of the lake, and said, "There is no trace." I don't know if the person it swallowed is alive or dead. If that man survived...... Alas~ calamity, what a calamity. ”
Xi Seng said slowly: "The universe still has the calamity of success, dwelling, destruction and emptiness, which shows that all things are reincarnated, and there are times of prosperity and decline. When the catastrophe is really coming, you can't avoid it. We still don't have to think too much, how can things be as good as we want, but let's be worthy of our hearts. ”
The other three monks joined together at the same time and said, "Senior Brother Xi is right. There is no Amitabha. ”
At that moment, the four monks sat down on the ground together, without saying a word, and recited the scriptures.
——
On the surface, this underground lake seems to be very calm. But in reality, there are hundreds of large and small underground channels running through the undercurrents beneath the water's surface. Its intricacies are far beyond anyone's imagination.
After swallowing Cheng Li's dragon in one gulp, he suddenly felt an unprecedented intense pain coming out of his abdomen. Although I have been living in this lake for I don't know how many years, I have long been psychic. But without enlightenment, wisdom is always limited. So the dragon didn't understand why this was happening.
Under the intense and severe torture, the dragon was in pain, and instinctively wanted to go back to his lair to recuperate. With the help of that leap, it dived deep to the bottom of the lake. Then he got into one of the underground rivers and swam like a **.
I don't know how far or how long I swam. The dragon suddenly burst out of the river and surfaced. A ray of sunlight immediately shone down on its head, enveloping its massive body.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the dragon's body was like a balloon, because it was pumping too much, so that it expanded rapidly, rising bigger and bigger, and finally in the deafening sound of "boom~", it exploded from the inside out. Blood, offal, bones, minced meat, rind, and undigested food scraps...... It's all messy and flying around, which is not only miserable, but also shocking.
From the remains of the dragon's corpse, a figure slowly stood up, as if it was Cheng Li. He was equipped with a dark battle body, and from beginning to end, he wrapped himself in an airtight airtight. It also avoids being contaminated by the many filths in the dragon's belly. In the hands of the Dark Combat Body, he also held a hand **, throwing it up and down.
The relatively small giant crocodile just now was still able to take a shot from Cheng Li head-on, but it was unscathed. Dragons are larger, and their skin shells are naturally harder.
Cheng Li estimated that if he wanted to deal with this giant in the water, any pistol, rifle, ***, ***, or even a heavy machine gun would not be of great effect. Unless you use RPG***, there is basically no way to do any substantial damage to the dragon.
However, just because the skin on the outside of the body is hard does not mean that the inside of the body can be equally hard. It just so happened that this monster didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and swallowed Cheng Li as soon as he opened his mouth. Cheng Li just planned it, entered the body of this monster, and wreaked havoc from the inside out, and sure enough, he succeeded in one fell swoop.
However, the tenacity of this monster's vitality is too unexpected. Cheng Li had clearly taken care of its internal organs, but the dragon did not die immediately, but was able to endure the severe pain, leave the underground lake in one breath, pass through the secret waterway, and return to his lair, which completely cut off his breath.
The two red fire salamanders killed before can still greatly replenish their vitality. The effect of this dragon must be higher than that of two large baby fish. Although it has been blown to pieces, there is still a lot of leftover and cannot be wasted.
At the very least, those dragon skins can make two excellent vests. Once worn on the body, the defense will never lose to the legendary soft hedgehog armor or the silkworm cloak and the like.
There is no one else around at the moment, so there is no need to have any scruples. So Cheng Li waved his hand and immediately put the remnants of the dragon into his "tattoo" and placed them with those weapons.
Cheng Li waved his hand casually, and with the gravity field of the "Jizo Tribulation", he manipulated the river to rise, condensed into a small waterspout, and washed towards the dark battle body. After a while, all the filth was washed away, and Cheng Li lifted the gravity manipulation, and at the same time, he also took back the dark battle body and restored his true body.
After doing all this, Cheng Li had time to raise his head and look around, and he immediately found that where he was was located, it was a natural pit. Half of the bottom of the pit is a waterhole, and the other half is a beach slope. It is surrounded by straight and steep solid mountain walls. If you had to describe it, the terrain here is probably like a bottle. Sunlight is projected from the mouth of the bottle, which is at least 30 to 40 zhang above the ground.
The mountain walls are steep and bare, and no vegetation grows at all. No matter how good it is, it's hard to climb to the mouth of the bottle without anything to cling to. So it's not so much a pit as a naturally occurring prison.
Although I was very worried about Xiaoqing and Bodhisattva Man, I wanted to go back to them as soon as possible, and I wanted to set foot on the small island in the middle of the underground lake to see what was on the island. But Cheng Li was hidden in the belly of the dragon and came here through the underground river. It is obviously impossible to dive underwater, to go back to the underground lake by the way you came. Then it is obvious that there is only one road left in front of us.
A prison that can block Cheng Li's freedom to come and go does not exist in this world. At that moment, without thinking, he walked to the bottom of the cliff and leaped up.
As soon as he jumped and was about to fall with all his strength, black qi immediately appeared under his feet, condensing into stepping stone steps for him to borrow his strength to get up again. This was repeated back and forth, but in a few moments, he had climbed to the top of the cliff and successfully escaped from the predicament.
Step on the top of the mountain and look out in all directions. I saw the sunset setting in the west, dyeing the clouds on the horizon a golden red. It turned out that before they knew it, Cheng Li and Xiaoqing had already passed underground, almost a whole day. Looking further away, I saw the outline of Yongzhou City, vaguely appearing behind the two mountains. A simple visual inspection is at least forty or fifty miles away.
The underworld is far more vast, far beyond imagination. Cheng Li faintly felt that the small island in the middle of the lake was probably the place where the legendary glazed treasure was located, which was the so-called Cave Heaven Blessed Land. But in this situation, it is obviously impossible to unearth the treasure by yourself. Therefore, it is imperative to hurry back to the city and discuss with Li Yanzhou.
About half an hour later, Cheng Li left the mountain and returned to the city of Yongzhou. Hurriedly enter the city gate, and then go back to the Golden Dragon Gang camp. When the helpers in the camp saw Cheng Li coming back, they all stepped forward to salute.
Hearing the noise, Li Yanzhou and Song Shirong, who were in the tent, immediately set off and walked out. At first glance, seeing Cheng Li's dusty appearance, and he was alone, the two couples couldn't help but be taken aback.
Li Yanzhou hurriedly said: "Brother Cheng, where have you been all day?"
Song Shirong looked sad and asked, "What about the little green girl, and the Rou girl, why don't you see them?"
Cheng Li sighed and said, "I can't say a word clearly." Brother Li, sister-in-law, let's go in and sit down. Come in with some food, I'm so hungry. ”
Li Yanzhou nodded and ordered the people to bring food and wine. Only then did he and Cheng Li walk into the tent together, and the three of them sat down separately.
Cheng Li picked up the wine jug, didn't need the quilt, and poured it directly into his mouth. I poured most of the jug of wine in one go. I ate two catties of bread and a plate of roast beef. That's when I was relieved. Immediately, 1510, he told all the characters and things he had encountered in the underground cave since this day.
Li Yanzhou was amazed when he heard this, and said, "The Red Fire Salamander, the Giant Crocodile, and the Dragon, I didn't expect that there were still these things under the ground of Yongzhou City. A small island in the middle of an underground lake...... Hmph, you can't be wrong! Eight or nine times out of ten, the glazed treasure is hidden. ”
Song Shirong said worriedly: "The two of them, Xiaoqing Sister and Rou Girl, stayed underground, and now I don't know what happened." Big brother, don't just care about treasures, you also care about people. ”
Li Yanzhou was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, nodded again and again, and said, "Madam is right, I lost my temper." After a pause, he said: "In this case, let's go into the underground cave again without further ado, find the little green girl and the soft girl, and by the way, go to the small island in the middle of the lake to discover the glazed treasure." ”
Cheng Li frowned and said, "But in the underground cave, there are thousands of forks in the road. We don't know which way to go to find Xiaoqing. ”
Li Yanzhou said: "It's okay to do this. I came to Yongzhou this time and brought several specially bred hunting dogs. They have a very sensitive sense of smell and can track down any scent that remains. No matter how many underground caverns fork in, it won't be a problem. ”
Cheng Li was overjoyed and said, "That's the best." Brother Li, hurry up and bring these hounds over. ”
Li Yanzhou nodded and stood up. Walked to the tent gate, pulled open the curtain, and gave a few instructions to a disciple of the Golden Dragon Gang who was guarding the door. The Golden Dragon Gang disciple nodded, and then took the order. After a while, he brought back two "thin dogs" with long waists and thin legs, fierce demeanor and agile movements.
Cheng Li reached into his arms and took out a jade hosta with a whole body of turquoise. This is something that Xiaoqing carries with her, and it has been worn by her for hundreds of years. On the broken bridge of the West Lake, Cheng Li and Xiaoqing met because of this jade hosta.
After the relationship between the two deepened, Xiaoqing gave this hosta to Cheng Li as a love object. In contrast, Cheng Li gave back a "PPK pistol". This pistol is very popular with women because of its compact size. Cheng Li couldn't use it himself, so he gave it to Xiaoqing for self-defense.
Because the hosta is stored in the space of "tattoos", it is not contaminated with Cheng Li's own breath, and it still retains a very strong smell of Xiaoqing's body. At this time, it is very suitable to use it to provide two hunting dogs and follow this clue to pursue Xiaoqing.
But Cheng Li had just taken out the hosta, and he hadn't handed it to the hound's nose yet. Suddenly, there was a flash of electricity outside the tent, lighting up the entire sky. Immediately afterwards, there was a "boom~" thunder explosion, and the loud noise was earth-shattering, as if the end was coming! The entire Yongzhou City was shrouded in a white rain curtain.
