Volume 2 Guangxi Demon City Chapter 94 Zhaoyao Mountain (3)
In the secret room, the three of them looked at each other head-on, at a loss. Except for the ball of light that was used for lighting still burning, and the silence around it was as if it were death.
Suddenly, as if from the depths of the earth, there was a chilling wail, which made people instantly feel like they were in eighteen layers of hell, and they were terrified!
"Xiao Jiu, get out of the wall!"
Just as Pu Zixuan was struggling to remind him, the murals on those walls suddenly began to move! Snakes, scorpions, centipedes, humanoids that don't know whether they are alive or dead, and babies wrapped in amber all turned into living bodies, jumping off the wall and surrounding the three of them.
Chen Shuqing was the first to react and shouted: "Quick, change the heavenly stem to 'Ding'!" β
Pu Zixuan was closest to the copper door, so he hurriedly did it, but found that the disc at this moment had been locked, and he couldn't turn it even if he used his strength to eat!
"It's over, it can't be turned!"
Niu cried and shouted, "My lord, you're not joking, are you? β
When the three of them were in a panic, the evil thing that the mural had turned into was close in front of them, Chen Shuqing and Pu Zixuan could deal with it, and a chaotic sword swing was thrown, and as soon as the centipede and snake and scorpion were cut to pieces, Niu Da took care of one or the other, and was bitten and screamed.
Soon, the humanoid creature and the baby amber approached, and the three of them fought harder, Niu Da was slashed in the arm by an axeman, but fortunately, Chen Shuqing broke the siege and cut the axe hand in half.
If two people use mana, even if they can temporarily gain the upper hand, it will only kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and it will not be able to solve this endless stream of evil things, but if you simply rely on physical skills to fight, it is only a matter of time before the three of them are completely wiped out!
Just when Pu Zixuan was desperate, Chen Shuqing had already fought a bloody way, came to his side, and said while killing: "At this time, the disc can't move...... It must be due to the fixation of the internal gears...... Wait a little bit for me to look into it...... It should be possible to pass through the bronze door...... Cast the spell from the inside to change the heavenly stem to 'ding'......"
Chen Shuqing chopped up a bunch of evil things again, and then said, "But it will take time...... It's up to you to take it! β
"Okay, please Xiao Jiu, you must succeed!" After speaking, Pu Zixuan killed all the way to Niu Da, pulled Niu Da to the copper gate, and jointly guarded Chen Shuqing.
In an instant, the evil creatures had completely occupied the secret room, and only the area around the bronze gate where the three of them were left was still free.
Niu Da cried and mourned: "I knew this was the case, what kind of fairy grass did I covet, it was better to do some business of robbing houses, killing people and goods, and living a peaceful life!" β
Pu Zixuan slapped Niu Da: "You cheer me up!" Aren't you able to fight and carry? Niu Da, now is your chance to be a hero, if you can pass this hurdle, I Pu Zixuan will respect you as a man! β
"Come, kill! Kill me! β
Under Pu Zixuan's roar, Niu Da also let out a terrible scream, raised his sword and waved it again, and wherever the sword light and sword shadow went, the bones of the evil creatures around the three of them were piled up into a hill.
The poor Niu Da had been injured in many places, and he was like a broken candle in the wind, but he still stood upright, not allowing the evil thing to get close to Chen Shuqing for half a step.
At this moment, the most terrible thing finally cameβthe last giant on the mural, also came to life, and walked towards the three of them with a huge mace in his hand.
With every step, a large number of evil creatures were trampled to the ground, and the ground was also trampled with a roar.
"Xiao Jiu, why aren't you okay?" Pu Zixuan couldn't care so much anymore, and launched the power of purification.
In front of him, the giant raised his mace high, intending to smash the three of them to pieces.
"That's it!"
Between the lightning and flint, I only heard the sound of the copper door "stuck", and the heavenly stem on the head of the Vermilion Bird changed to "Ding"!
The door is open!
Pu Chen and the two jumped out almost at the same time. Behind him, I only heard a "clang", and it should have been the mace that smashed on the door frame.
"Close the door!" Chen Shuqing shouted without looking back.
"What's going on?"
"Clean up the gears I've changed!"
Pu Zixuan was at a loss, so he had to turn on the purification technique with full firepower, and wanted to change everything that Chen Shuqing had changed back! At the last moment, the gate slammed shut, and the sword in the hands of the two turned back into branches.
Escaping death, Chen Shuqing settled down, looked around, and asked, "What about Niu Da?" β
There were only two people on this side of the door, and Pu Zixuan suddenly oozed beads of sweat on his face: "He ...... He seems to have been left behind again......"
"Niu Da, thank you-" Chen Shuqing leaned against the bronze door, punched twice, lowered her head and whispered: "It's a pity, it's a pity, Niu Da, this brother, in the end, didn't let the evil thing hurt me in the slightest......"
Pu Zixuan patted Chen Shuqing on the shoulder: "To be honest, I have also changed my impression of him a little, but Siren has passed away...... Let's go, when we get the fairy grass and go back, let's go back and explain to Li Zhong. β
With apologies and respect for Niu Da, the two continued to move forward, and after two more left turns, they finally arrived at the tomb.
A huge wooden coffin, quietly placed in the middle of the spacious burial chamber, has been quiet for 2,000 years.
Pu Zixuan stared blankly at some of the things in front of him, like a dream.
"Okay, according to our agreement, I'll take a look now, where is your immortal grass sacred, tossing us to death like this!"
Pu Zixuan was about to step forward, but a strange thing happened again - I saw that the lid of the coffin had moved by itself!
"Wow, wow, wow-" Pu Zixuan's scalp was numb with fright, and he took a few steps back, "It's moving, the coffin is moving!" β
Chen Shuqing stretched out her hand to protect Pu Zixuan: "Don't go over, be careful of the corpse!" β
A vivid human hand stretched out from the gap, pushed and pushed again, and the coffin lid was completely pushed open!
"Star River Dragon King!" Pu Zixuan didn't care much, and was ready to fight.
A figure sat up from the coffin: "Wowhaha-it's me, can't you think of it?" I'm back again! β
I saw the cow who described the withered tree holding a leek-shaped herb in his hand, and stood up on the ground: "As soon as the door is closed, all the evil things will disappear, and a secret door will appear on the ground, as soon as I enter, I didn't expect it to lead directly to the end, hahahaββ"
"Great, you're not dead, and besides, you still got the fairy grass!" Pu Zixuan's apology to Niu Da in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he was ecstatic.
"Yes, got it, got it...... I'll come out now, I'll bring it and ......give it to you," he said, and Niu Da stepped out of the coffin with one foot.
Pu Zixuan put away the power of purification and was about to go over, but was stopped by Chen Shuqing: "Xiao Qi, something is wrong, this cow is big, and he is in a trance...... It's not human at all......"
Pu Zixuan looked at it in surprise, only to see Niu staggering out of the coffin, his eyes rolling, his seven holes smoking, and his mouth was still muttering: "What's the matter, come and get it, come quickly......"
Chen Shuqing shouted: "Don't go over, he has already been poisoned by the corpse......"
"Corpse poison? Ahh......hhh I...... What's going on? The body is so heavy...... I...... Are you going to die? Niu Da didn't take two steps before he collapsed to the ground, already looking dying.
"Niu Da, you quickly throw the fairy grass over!" Pu Zixuan shouted.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die...... Ah, Zhu Yu, you save me......" Crying and shouting, Niu Da actually fed Zhu Yu into his mouth and devoured it!
"You...... Don't eat it! Pu Zixuan roared.
"I ate it...... to survive...... Talent...... Return...... ......"Before the words fell, Niu Da had completely lost his breath, like a puddle of mud sticking to the ground, making people unbearable to look at directly.
The two of them stared at this scene in amazement, their faces pale.
"This time, he's really dead." Pu Zixuan sat on the ground, hung his head in frustration, and kept patting his head, "The cow is gone, the fairy grass is gone, I've been busy for most of the day, and there's nothing!" β
Chen Shuqing also covered her face and was silent, and after a few sighs, she took a deep breath, and suddenly, as if she realized something, asked: "But, strange, if there is corpse poison, why haven't we felt the slightest thing until now?" β
"We're far away." Pu Zixuan's heart was like ashes.
Chen Shuqing shook her head: "No, I said, my sense of smell is much more sensitive than yours, but the toxicity of the water galaxy is so light, we are all unbearable, this corpse poison is so powerful, it can kill people instantly, we are in this tomb, but we have been safe and sound?" β
Pu Zixuan looked up at Chen Shuqing: "What do you want to say?" β
Chen Shuqing muttered: "No, we are all wrong, we are all wrong......"
"What's wrong, you make it clear!"
"There is no corpse poison at all, there are no evil things, no babies, no giants, not even cows, this is a scam from the beginning! It's a scam! β
"What scam?" Pu Zixuan stood up and looked at Chen Shuqing in surprise, expecting her to give a bright answer.
"Do you remember? When we came ashore from the watery galaxy, and you purified the oars into branches, the ox disappeared; In the secret room, he reappeared, and when you purified the Heaven and Earth Locks, Niu Da disappeared again. It's just that both times, we thought he was dead. This is the third time, if I'm not mistaken, if you cast a purification spell on Niu Da's corpse now, he will definitely disappear again! β
"I'll try it." After that, Pu Zixuan's body was flooded with sky blue charm.
"No, it's not just Niu Da, you can cast it vigorously and restore everything to the way it was!"
Although Pu Zixuan still didn't understand Chen Shuqing's deep meaning, he still did so and shouted: "Okay, let me see, the truth, what is it!" β
After a gust of wind, the layout of the tomb really returned to the beginning!
There was no ox-sized corpse on the ground, and the coffin, still covered with a lid, was silently placed in the center.
Under the light of the ball of light, everything is as peaceful as death.
"Sure enough!" Chen Shuqing pointed to the coffin, "All this is an illusion created by it!" β
So, what have we been through along the way? Which ones are true? Which ones are fake? Who the hell are we fighting against? Who made all this? Pu Zixuan felt like he was almost going crazy.
"Didn't you notice? When you step into the passage of the tomb, the cow poop appears, and from that time on, we enter a false world, and the cow mouths out that he has entered the tomb many times, but never forewarns us of what will happen in the future, which is unreasonable! Everything mentioned in his mouth, such as the Immortal Grass, the Hall of Forgetting Worries, and the Hall of the Immortal Sword, are all things that we already know, and even his appearance comes from Li Zhong! He...... He is nothing but a projection of our hearts...... It's the fairy grass...... In order to prevent it from being picked by the world, Zhu Yu deliberately used our inner world to create amber-wrapped babies, evil objects on murals, corpse poison, and Niu Da! β
Pu Zixuan trembled, and suddenly realized: "I see, those babies on the water galaxy did not disappear on the shore, but because of my purification technique, they disappeared together with the oars and the cow; Those evil creatures were not locked in the door, but disappeared again with my purification technique, along with the sword, the gear, and the ox! This is just an ordinary big tomb, with only two protections, the Water Galaxy and the secret room, and there is no other mess at all! If we had discovered this earlier, all these inexplicable battles could have been completely avoided by his grandmother! β
Chen Shuqing nodded: "Yes, when someone finally comes here, Zhu Yu will only have one last trick left, and that is the bitter meat trick, which makes you feel that if you get close to it, you will be poisoned by the corpse, and then pretend to be eaten, and then let the person who eats it die!" In this way, all the people will not dare to approach the coffin again, so they have no choice but to leave! β
"Understood, all understood! A broken grass that has not yet been fully demonized has played with us to such an extent, see if I don't uproot you! Pu Zixuan rolled up his sleeves, moved his wrists, and walked towards the coffin.
A fox tail arrived at the coffin first, only to hear Chen Shuqing shout: "Get out of here!" The lid of the coffin flew out in an instant.
After a moment of silence, a leek-like herb glowing red burst out of the coffin, with two whiskers on its roots as its feet, like a rat crossing the street, looking east and west, panicking and fleeing in all directions, looking very funny.
"Want to run? Galaxy Dragon King! Pu Zixuan sped up, and Zhu Yu, who was the opponent of the power of purification, fell into Pu Zixuan's hands in an instant.
I saw Zhu Yu struggling in Pu Zixuan's hands for a long time, and after emitting a burst of dazzling red light, he gradually faded all the light and turned into an ordinary medicinal herb.
Pu Zixuan caressed Zhu Yu and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry brother, after ten years, you can find a good place to reincarnate." β
β¦β¦
When the twilight was four, the two finally returned to the Hall of Forgotten Worries and handed over the blessings to Li Zhong.
Li Zhong couldn't believe his eyes, carefully took the blessing, deeply moved, and said gratefully: "Today's matter, I really want to thank the two of you, Dr. Wu's illness is finally saved!" Please go back to rest and come back to the cold house tomorrow morning, Li Zhong and Dr. Wu will be warmly received. β
Just as he was about to leave, Pu Zixuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother Li, there is a sentence, I don't know if to ask it?" β
Li Zhong smiled: "Heh, what's the problem, but it's okay to ask." β
"Do you have a brother named Niu Da?"
The smile on Li Zhong's face suddenly stopped, and he said in a deep voice: "Poor my big brother Niu, three years ago, I insisted on going to the tomb of Zhaoyao Mountain to look for fairy grass, and when the ferry crossed a dark river, I accidentally fell into the river, and although I climbed out, I died mysteriously on the way down the mountain. Why do you know of his existence? β
Pu Zixuan breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Chen Shuqing and smiled: "Perhaps, in a certain section, his ghost will accompany us on a journey." β
"Really? My brother must be unwilling, and he will defend Zhaoyao Mountain after death...... Now that the fairy grass has arrived, I hope that his spirit in the sky can be comforted......" Li Zhong was silent for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Why, he only told you his nickname, but didn't tell you his real name?" β
Pu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "No, Xiao Jiu, do you remember his real name?" β
Chen Shuqing shrugged and said, "You really haven't told us yet, I hope Brother Li Zhong will tell me." β
"His name is Li Xiao, filial piety."
