Chapter 40: The Silverhorn Emerald Python
These treasures in the hall are still brilliant after more than a hundred years, but the pair of immortal couples who are the envy of the resentful women in the deep palace died in the hands of each other in a pale color.
Zong Zhengke sighed lowly, gently placed the soft sword on the ground, folded his hands, and muttered a sutra of the past life. There is a lot of sorrow in the world, but she still has a bit of compassion for all living beings in her heart, and she will not be too stingy with her ancestors in her previous life.
Seriously, if Emperor Tiande hadn't run away with Concubine Dong, maybe the two would have children later, then maybe she wouldn't have had a chance to be born in her previous life. Thinking about it this way, Zong Zhengke also complained a little about Emperor Tiande - she would rather never be born.
Li Yi stood quietly aside, and it wasn't until Zong Zheng finished chanting a Sutra of the Past that he said in a low voice: "This Dong Guifei is actually my Eastern Tang Dynasty clan. Her father and brother both died in the war launched against the Eastern Tang Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Tiande, and she hated Emperor Tiande to the core, so she volunteered to join Emperor Tiande's palace to make waves. ”
No wonder Li Yi has the information here. Zong Zhengke said: "She is the great savior of the Eastern Tang Kingdom. Since Tiande's majesty, the national strength of the Tianxing Kingdom has been declining, and it can no longer pose a threat to the Eastern Tang Kingdom. Until now, the Eastern Tang Kingdom is even more eyeing the Tianxing Kingdom. ”
Li Yi raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "The third girl wants to slaughter me, a person from an enemy country, with a sword?" After that, he picked up the soft sword and handed it to Zong Zhengke, his eyes flashed and he asked, "It seems that Su Hui and you really have nothing to talk about, I am from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, this is what she sued you?" ”
Zong Zhengke nodded, and said with a faint smile: "In front of the Buddha, all living beings are equal, so why is it fortunate to be lucky with the Eastern Tang Dynasty?" Immortal Master, you're too worried. ”
This girl's words are really cold enough to the Tianxing Dynasty. Li Yi secretly laughed, and also thought that his momentary vigilance was really superfluous. Even if the three girls of the Zongzheng family really have the heart to serve the country loyally, what can she do with herself?
Li Yi smiled, pulled up the wide sleeves of his robe, and prepared to open the white coffin. Zong Zhengke's face was a little ugly, and his slender hand pressed on the white coffin, and he said: "It's really disrespectful to disturb the undead, not to mention that one of them is also a meritorious minister of your Eastern Tang Kingdom." Immortal Master, what are you going to do? ”
"Although Emperor Tiande is rumored to be the crown prince, after he left, the jade seal of Tianxingguo disappeared mysteriously with him. I'm going to rummage through him, is there this good treasure hidden? Li Yi explained while pushing the white coffin, but as soon as he moved the transparent lid of the white coffin a little, he heard an unusual movement.
Rustle, rustle.
Li Yi stopped his hand, protected Zong Zhengke behind him, and looked at the source of the voice vigilantly. I saw a large mountain of golden utensils in the west of the hall trembling, and the top utensils were sliding down. Suddenly, countless large and small vessels splashed in all directions of the hall. Immediately afterward, a sharp silver-white unidentified object slowly emerged from the golden hill, which was extremely eye-catching.
Li Yi motioned for Zong Zhengke to retreat, and the two of them walked lightly, hiding on the side of the white coffin, squatting on the ground and just looking up at that place.
A two-foot-long cone-shaped silver horn was completely exposed to the air, and then a large flat square head carved out of jasper. Zong Zhengke took a secret breath, she had flipped through the list of rare beasts in the world in the East China Sea Buddha Country, just from the silver horn and the flat head, she recognized what this beautiful and terrifying creature was-the silver-horned jade python!
In his previous life, there was a spirit beast beside the Supreme Being, which was the Silver Horned Jade Python. And this python was also subdued by him when he came to Tianxingguo to participate in the temple building celebration of the Temple of Mercy and Grace in Yuyan Mountain. Reminiscent of Li Yi's judgment not long ago, Zong Zhengke guessed that in his previous life, this python finally swam out of that channel, but finally fell into the hands of Dashi Zhi.
But at this time, there is at least nine grades of cultivation, but he and the Li Yi and Li Wuzi in front of him only have eight grades, and I don't know if I can fight with this python. At this time, Zong Zhengke finally came to his senses, and when Li Yi guessed that there would be a snake, what was her ominous premonition and what she had forgotten - it was the storage of this silver-horned jade python.
It's not your average python. Ordinary pythons only rely on entanglement to hunt for food, while the silver-horned jade python has a long pointed horn on the top of its head that is more indestructible and sharp than Ningyuan corundum, and has the venom spitting of the middle one, as well as the primitive winding instinct. Its rarity in number and terrifying combat power are among the top ten in the list of alien beasts in the world, even higher than the rank of Changshou'er.
Zong Zhengke was nervous, this was the first time she had faced such a terrifying creature. She held the hilt of the sword in her hand tightly, and heard Li Yi's relaxed voice in front of her: "It's just a unicorn snake that hasn't become a climate yet, I don't know how many have been slaughtered before, three girls, you don't have to be afraid." I just don't know if there are any other unicorn snakes here, so I'll lure this beast away in a moment, and you can hurry back to the cliff. When I've cleaned it up, we'll look for the baby again. ”
The words were light, but Zong Zhengke knew that this big snake was extremely difficult to deal with. No, it had already found the two of them, a pair of emerald vertical pupils looked at this side coldly, the snake letter kept swallowing, and the venom dripping on the ground could instantly melt the golden vessel. Its body was the size of a bucket, and the golden hill was still collapsing, and it was still rising. Finally, the head touched the top of the palace, and it bowed its head slightly, sizzling.
At this time, Li Yi finally gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words: "Don't look back for a while, run as fast as you can, in short, I will do my best to hold it back!" You take this antidote pill first, and it may spray snake venom first. But you still be careful not to get the venom splashed on your skin. He stuffed a brownish pill with his backhand, which had a strong realgar smell.
If he remembered the storage of the Silver Horn Jade Python early, even if Li Yi found out that he was Su Hui Venerable, Zong Zhengke would definitely not lure him here. At this time, it was too late to regret it, she silently took the antidote pill and swallowed it without the slightest hesitation. With her knowledge, she was able to tell that this pill was a top-level snake medicine, and Li Yi didn't lie to her.
Fortunately, I don't know what this silver-horned jade python is afraid of, and the venom spit that is about to erupt has not come for a long time. It remained in that high-looking stance, not swimming to attack or showing any signs of leaving.
After waiting for a while, Li Yi and Zong Zhengke both came back to their senses. Li Yi patted the coffin of the white coffin and said with a smile: "It seems that this is a talisman for the two of us." Tsk, it's really fateful. There was a Dongtang man and a Tianxing person lying in the coffin, sheltering the Dongtang people and Tianxing people outside the coffin. ”
Zong Zhengke saw that he could still talk and laugh, and his nervous and panicked feelings were also relieved a little. But she couldn't help but retort: "It's not the person in the coffin who really shelters us, but the coffin." Didn't you notice that it was made of yellow sky jade wood? ”
Huangtian jade wood is a rare wood with a jade-like texture, and any quality of Huangtian jade wood is jade-white and slightly transparent. This special wood produced in the Great Wei Empire is a fine coffin. Not to mention the delicate texture, the most striking feature is that it makes all snakes, insects, rats and ants shy away. Although the one-horned jade python is the king of pythons, it is still bound by the natural species after all, and it will naturally stay away from this white coffin.
Li Yi stretched out his hand and knocked on the coffin heavily, nodded and said, "It's really Huang Tian Yumu," he continued to stare at the big python and said, "Third girl, you are really knowledgeable, you know Huang Tian Yumu." As far as Poor Dao knows, it is only produced in the Wei State. ”
Zong Zheng was silent and said in a low voice: "His Holiness mentioned that her furniture and furnishings in the Buddha Kingdom were all made of Huangtian jade wood to avoid snakes and ants on the island. ”
Li Yi shook his head and sneered: "It's really not particular at all!" People make coffins, she prefers to make furniture, what kind of wood is not good?! When she was empty, Poor Dao gave her a good set of furniture and soaked it in the best snake medicine, which was better than Huangtian Yumu. ”
Zong Zhengke was quite speechless, why did this person become so enthusiastic about his own affairs? She had no intention of thinking about it, so she diverted and said, "Immortal Master, who did you say collected the bodies of Emperor Tiande and Concubine Dong Guifei?" Who created this Huang Tianyu wooden coffin? ”
Li Yi was obviously stunned, touched his nose and said, "Yes, who did it?" ”
It seems that he doesn't know that under such a dangerous situation, he shouldn't hide such a trivial matter. Zong Zhengke put this problem aside, she knew that she and Li Yi couldn't hide for a long time. If you don't go out to win a life and death, what awaits the two of you is also a dead word.
Li Yi also thought of this section, and after a while, he turned his face to face Zong Zhengke, and for the first time, a stern look appeared on his face. His voice became low and solemn, and he said slowly: "Third girl, I won't hide it from you, in fact, the big guy on the other side, I am not sure of victory." And you, who only know three or two swordsmanship, can't help me. Without the infusion of True Qi, you can't even pierce its scales. ”
"So now, we're in a dilemma. Just hide and wait for it to leave, it's okay. But we don't have much to eat, and we don't have much water to drink, so our spirits will get worse and worse, and we won't have the strength to fight it anymore. Li Yi smiled bitterly twice and spread his hands, "If I rush out, it will be difficult for me to win even when I am in my heyday, not to mention that I only suffered an internal injury not long ago, and now I am only half-healed, so I am even more unconfident." ”
"Can you take the lid of the coffin in front of you and slowly retreat to the door?" Zong Zhengke pointed to the white coffin, feeling that although this method was risky, it was a good way to escape at this moment.
Li Yi bent his fingers and knocked on the white coffin, and said with a wry smile again: "When I pushed the coffin lid just now, I found that this coffin lid does not seem to have nailed nails, but in fact, it is dug out of a whole piece of wood, and the coffin lid on one side is connected to the coffin mortise and tenon joint," he pointed to the far end, "In the past, it took great risks to open the mortise and tenon joint, and I think the beast outside will not let go of the opportunity." It is a spiritual creature and an intelligent human. ”
Zong Zhengke pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "This risk is worth taking. I really can't do it......" She stared straight at the coffin and said slowly, "only offending the ancestors." ”
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "It's good that the third girl can figure it out, this is also what Fang Cai said that the person in the coffin is sheltering us." ”
Zong Zhengke glanced at him and admired his extraordinary mind. This young Taoist jumps out of scoundrels like a naughty boy when he has nothing to do, and he is still very responsible when he has something, and he thinks for a long time. As it was now, she didn't believe it, and there was no way for him to get out on his own. The reason why he thought about it was because he wanted to pull her out of danger together.
