Volume 2: Mao'er Mountain Chapter 79: Golden Lotus Lantern
The peak is not very high, and it is not very steep.
There is a trail that leads to the summit.
The peaks are lined with some strange rocks, but the wind is whistling, and Xiao Yue can't help but be smart.
The wind was not only violent, but also cold.
Xiao Yue looked around by the moonlight, he chose a very high stone to climb up, and then not far away he saw a big stone that was not quite the same as the others.
The stones on the top of the peak are all very sharp stones, but only this big stone is square, Xiao Yue tried to push it, and it is estimated that there are four or five hundred catties.
If he didn't borrow spiritual power, he wouldn't be able to move the boulder alone, so in order not to make a strange noise when moving the boulder, he used the Migration Spell to gently lift the boulder, and then gently put it down, and there was really no sound at all.
But he overlooked one point.
The wind was fierce on the mountain, and he moved the boulder away, and the wind poured into the cave so that the people in the cave could hear the whirring wind.
Xiao Yue hurriedly jumped down, and it was pitch black.
Fortunately, he is used to walking at night, and he is already familiar with the darkness, and his eyesight is certainly very human.
He groped his way deeper into the cavern.
He hadn't gone far when he saw a pair of glowing green eyes in front of him.
This is the cat demon's cat's eyes.
Xiao Yue was shocked, and immediately reacted and chased after her.
But the cat demon's other abilities are not as strong as his, and his ability to escape is unmatched.
Although Xiao Yue's body method is fast, the speed of the cat demon's flash jump is even faster.
I saw it turn around and jump into a stone room, Xiao Yue didn't think much about chasing it in, the moment he stepped into the stone room, he suddenly reacted, but it was too late, the door of the stone room had been blocked by the stone door, and the cat demon was gone.
He walked over and tried to push the stone door, and as soon as his fingers touched the stone door, a bolt of lightning flicked his fingers back, and Xiao Yue felt his entire arm go numb.
This stone chamber has been banned by the cat demon.
Xiao Yue strayed into the enemy's prohibition, and was a little at a loss for a while.
The first two times the cat demon was always injured by him unexpectedly, and he didn't expect it to be in formation for a while, and there is an old saying that really makes sense: be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
Last time, he also fell into Fa Ming's formation because of impulse and negligence, and this time he fell into the formation of the cat demon because of the same problem.
It seems that the lesson of the last time was not painful enough.
Xiao Yue looked at the pitch-black walls around her and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
He had been in this stone room for a long time, but the effect of the formation had not yet been brought into play, and he didn't know how the cat demon was going to deal with him, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and a lotus lamp lit up under the wall inside.
This lotus lamp is golden, placed on a stone platform, the wick is pure white, and that little flame is neither prosperous nor decaying, so it burns naturally.
Xiao Yue looked around by the light, and there was nothing in it except for this lamp.
This lotus lamp is very strange, it can ignite a fire without lamp oil.
Xiao Yue was curious, and took a closer look, and suddenly a golden light shot out from the lotus lamp, shining on him, Xiao Yue only felt that this golden light seemed to have a strong suction, which made him unable to get out, and his body gradually shrank, and before he could take measures to resist, he was sucked into the lotus lamp.
The lamp was white everywhere, and in the midst of a panic, a fire suddenly ignited under his feet.
The fire came violently, and the fire rose above his head, burning him so much that he hurriedly chanted a spell to protect his body.
This lotus lamp has a great origin.
It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, a monk's demon subduing treasure was named Golden Lotus Lamp.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, Buddhism was on the rise, and the evil demons and traitors also took advantage of the situation and colluded with each other to seize the power of life and death in the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the senior monk Fang was a teenager, named Zhang Qi, born in a poor family, often did not have enough food and clothing, and went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables one day, not wanting to be captured by the demons in the mountains, and wanted to catch them and eat them raw.
When they came to a cave, it was as black as ink, and there were many goblins living there, and when they saw Zhang Qisheng, they all gathered around him and wanted to eat him, some said they wanted to eat his hands, some said they wanted to eat his feet, and some said they wanted to eat his head and internal organs, and they fought with each other for a while, and no one was willing to give in.
Each of these goblins is hideous and terrifying, either with sharp mouths and sharp teeth, or tiger heads, very vicious, although they are gathered in a nest, they are not very friendly with each other, and they want to meet each other when they quarrel together.
The demon who caught Zhang Qi back to the cave said: "I caught the person back, who eats the feet and hands of whom, it should be assigned by me, why should everyone quarrel and hurt the harmony?" ”
When the demons heard it, there was some truth, but one of the demons was carefully arrogant and pretentious, and among them it was the strongest demon art, and he had long wanted to become the leader of these goblins, but everyone didn't obey it very much, and it was also very disobedient to the demons, but it was afraid of causing public anger, so he didn't dare to offend anyone.
Now take this opportunity to stir up trouble and make the people choose a leader.
It said: "That being said, as the saying goes, 'those who see have a share,' if you catch him outside, we have nothing to say if you eat him directly, but if you catch him back, now everyone is entitled to share his flesh." ”
Although this sound unreasonable, it is in line with the hearts of all the demons, and they all agree with this kind of speech.
A demon asked: "In that case, but the demon has more meat and less meat, and the distribution is not enough, what do you say?" ”
The goblin said: "It's easy, anyway, none of us are convinced, it's better to have a competition, we have no leader, it's easy to have infighting, maybe one day because of something to hurt the harmony, we will kill each other, so I think it's better to choose a leader." How should this meat be distributed then, and it will be up to it, who will dare to complain? ”
Among the demons, they know that it has the highest demon skills, and on the surface it is said to be a fair competition, but in fact, it has long been in the hands of the winner, and it wants to sit in the position of the leader, but because it does not dare to offend it, it is silent and silent, and some goblins have a good relationship with it, and they are in line with its proposal.
Seeing that most of the goblins agreed, they began to delineate the rules of the competition in the cave, and temporarily locked Zhang Qi in a stone room.
There was no light in this stone room, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything, and Zhang Qi thought that he was going to be eaten alive by the goblins, and he trembled with fright, and his heart was so frightened that he didn't even dare to cry out loud.
After half an hour, I only heard the sound of fighting outside, and knew that they had begun to test the demon method.
Although he was afraid, he had a strong desire to survive after all, and mustered up the courage to grope in the stone chamber, trying to find hope of escape.
He walked forward step by step against the stone wall, and suddenly touched something under his feet, making a crisp noise, which made him tremble in fright, and immediately froze and did not dare to move.
After a while, he didn't hear any movement, and there was still a fight outside, so he breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down and touched the ground, and touched something, which he couldn't see clearly in the dark, but he roughly felt the shape and outline of this thing, guessed that it was a lotus lantern, and thought to himself: How can there be a lotus lantern in this gloomy mountain cave that can only be found in temples?
Although the appearance of this lamp was suspicious, he didn't think much about it, the most important thing at the moment was to find a chance to escape, so he lost the lamp casually.
He finally groped his way to the stone door, and these goblins thought that he was an ordinary human and had no ability to escape, so they were very relieved to leave him in a stone room.
Zhang Qi walked out of the stone chamber, not in the direction of their competition, but into the depths of the cave, this cave is really big, and the large and small passages are criss-crossed, connected to each other, Zhang Qi walked and got lost.
He walked aimlessly against the stone wall, and at this time he could no longer hear the sound of the elves competing, he thought it was far away from them, and he didn't know how long he walked, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Where did this kid go?" Go and hold the hole, and be careful not to let him escape. ”
"Don't worry, there is only one exit from this cave, he will never run out, we will look for it separately."
"Okay, you go over there, I'll be here."
Zhang Qi heard the demon talking, getting closer and closer to him, and was so frightened that he quickly quickened his pace, regardless of direction, in short, as long as he couldn't hear the sound of them chasing after him, it was safe.
