Chapter 241: Responding to the Tribulation (Part II)
Although it was only for a moment, I could already see Master's figure clearly, which shocked me and couldn't help but be overjoyed that Master had rushed back so quickly. At the same time that the stone steps were reversed into the ground layer by layer, there was a gap below, and at this moment, two figures outside rushed in instantly, and it was the master who supported the old pig fairy and landed opposite me. I hurriedly shouted happily, "Master, why did you come back so soon?!" ”
Master glared at me angrily and said, "If the master doesn't come back, you will definitely make a fuss about this place!" Why didn't you stop him? Just let him drain his blood and die?! Master frowned, seeing the unconscious old pig fairy with his head drooping, Master sighed deeply.
"I ......" I also sighed helplessly: "I want to stop the old pig fairy, but he can't help but open this channel, if I stop it again, then his previous efforts will be in vain." I don't want to disappoint the old pig fairy, and I don't want to see us return home with nothing...... Master, it's all useless to me, you can beat me and scold me, I don't dare to complain...... But, but I don't think we're doing anything wrong......"
The master shook his head and said, "Don't talk about it yet, since the passages are all open, let's go down and take a look first!" The master glanced down at the underground palace that the gap led to, and immediately helped the old pig fairy down the stone steps step by step, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurriedly followed the master and jumped down from the gap.
As soon as I landed on the ground, I heard a crisp echo all around, and I looked closely, but when I saw the sparkling waves on the stone walls around me, I looked down and scanned the surroundings instead. I was stunned and muttered, I didn't expect that this area was surrounded by pools, only a huge square platform was built in the center, and the four corners of the square platform were placed four pillars of fire.
The master carefully put the old pig fairy aside, and then got up and walked to a pillar of fire, I took a closer look, but saw that on the pillar of fire, it seemed to be carved with white marble dragon shadows, there was a brazier on it, the master looked the pillar of fire up and down, and finally stared at one of the dragon shadows. But when I saw a dragon ball bulging outside, Master waved his palm on it, and then flashed to me, only to hear a muffled clicking sound coming from under my feet.
There was a trembling sound, but I saw that the floor under the pillar of fire was slowly splitting out, moving the pillar of fire into the pool little by little. Not only the pillar of fire in front of him, but the other three pillars of fire also split from the Quartet, until they stayed three feet away from the Sifang Platform, and with a roar, they suddenly stopped.
Then four buzzing and trembling sounds came out of the brazier, and with four blinding flames, they burned in the brazier!
The flames were soaring, and the stone slabs under our feet were shaking violently, and the master hurriedly shouted, "Get out of the way!" With that, the master pushed me away, and helped the old pig fairy to the edge of the square platform with me.
At the same time, a huge stone slab suddenly rose from the center of the quadrangular platform, saying that it was a stone slab, but it was more like a carved slab, on which the golden dragon was coiled, lifelike and dazzling. I counted it roughly, and there were nine dragons hovering in between, and the dragon shadows were concave and convex, exquisite, and simply beautiful, rare in the world! At the same time, under the shadow of the dragon, a stone platform also rises from the ground, on which are placed various objects of worship to the gods, incense burners, lamps and candles, and offerings that have long been reduced to ashes. Even the candle was rotten.
The master glanced at it in a daze, nodded slightly, and said, "Supreme Pilgrimage Bureau, this must be the real place of sacrifice in this underground palace!" Hearing Master's words, I stared blankly at everything in front of me, and then ran to the old pig fairy, only to see blood stains hanging from the corners of the old pig fairy's mouth, which seemed to be seriously injured.
Looking at the old pig fairy's hands again, there seemed to be many blood holes on them, and the blood kept flowing. Seeing this, the master hurriedly tore off two pieces from the placket of his clothes, bandaged the old pig fairy's hands respectively, and then sighed: "Life and death are fate, and my calamity should be borne by myself, why are you suffering?" You can risk your life for me, don't you understand that I can also put life and death aside for you? ”
I asked worriedly, "Master, will there be anything wrong with the old pig fairy?" ”
The master put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Fortunately, the master came in time, and he didn't have to worry about his life, but he forcibly activated the channel mechanism and fed the insect in the underworld with his own essence and blood, which was a great injury to his vitality!" Hearing this, I was shocked to think that when I touched those dark words, I clearly felt the stinging sensation of piercing my hand, could it be that those are the insects doing evil? When I think about it, my back is still cold.
The old pig fairy didn't say anything, so he desperately activated the nether mechanism with his life, alas! However, since the master said that the old pig fairy could not die, I was still relieved, bent over and pinched the old pig fairy's people, and sure enough, I saw the old pig fairy breathe a sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes, but before he could speak, I heard him cough violently.
"Old pig fairy! How do you feel? I asked with concern.
But seeing the old pig fairy grinning, he spit out a few words with difficulty: "I thought I would die......"
"How could you die?!" I frowned, and then said: "My master rescued you, look at it, this is the real sacrificial place that you risked your life to open, old pig fairy, we have found the sacrificial place, you haven't seen me and my master find the secret of the ancestor token heaven and earth!" You can't give up easily! Gotta get better! ”
When the old pig fairy heard this, he slowly turned his head and looked around, only to see that the stone walls around him were still sparkling, like a beautiful and strange place outside the world. He grinned again and said, "It seems that I have been busy for half a day, and it is worth it." But...... But those organs ......," said the old pig fairy and hurriedly looked up at the master who was standing not far away.
The master turned his head and said, "Those mechanisms have been destroyed by me, and they will not be closed again, don't worry." Tell us why you're here. Is it just because of what I have done here? Alas, you don't know that everyone's calamity is their own fate, and how can others replace it? You! I don't know what to say about you! If you have something that you have three strengths and two weaknesses, how should you let your younger siblings live alone in the world? ”
The old pig fairy smiled bitterly: "I was in a hurry, but I forgot my beautiful wife, I am really sorry for her and failed to protect myself." But just now when I found the passage of the mechanism, I was too happy, I opened this passage desperately, those worms are really terrible, but fortunately they didn't get into my body, otherwise my old life would be over! ”
I asked curiously, "Old Pig Fairy, what do those dark insects look like?" Why can't I see it? ”
The old pig fairy shook his head, as if he was deliberately selling Guanzi, and then motioned for me to ask the master. I stubbornly held on for a while, but I still didn't dare to ask the master, after all, the old pig fairy became like this, and I was also responsible. Master didn't break my leg, it's already good, if I don't like Master again, I'm afraid my good days will come to an end. At this moment, I can only try to avoid communicating with Master, and Master came here, and his attention should be attracted by the treasure gathered by this dragon vein!
I looked around in astonishment, and asked helplessly, "Master, there seems to be nothing here except for a huge pool and a sacrificial platform!" How do we find it? ”
The Master pointed to the sparkling waves on the rock wall, and then said, "Those rays of light are not the reflection of the fire on the top of the pillar of fire, but are refracted from the pool, which means that the treasures are all under the pool. But...... I don'......t understand why Master keeps staring at this pool and doesn't take any measures, you must know that we don't have much time, if we catch the next big earthquake, everything here will completely collapse, and it will be over!"
"Hahaha...... It turns out that this sacrificial platform is really unique! ”
Suddenly, I heard a cold laugh from the passage above, and then two figures rushed in like lightning. It turned out to be Martingale Lingzhi and Gu Tan...... I understand a little now, maybe they knew very well the method of opening the channel before, but the way of consuming their own essence and blood, between Martingale Lingzhi and Gu Tan, no one was willing to pay like this. If you don't get it right, you will lose your life, so although the two of them are profound, they did not open this passage.
Now that we've opened the passage, they're here to pick up the ready-made!
The sudden appearance of Martingale Lingzhi and Gu Tan made the master unexpected, and immediately helped the old pig fairy to flash to one place, but on the opposite side, there were two people, Martingale Lingzhi and Gu Tan. They each looked around, all smiling, and Martingale Lingzhi laughed coldly: "It's really rare that there is a hidden dragon cave in a mere hidden dragon cave!" Thankfully, we arrived in time, otherwise you would have been the first to get there! ”
I asked angrily, "Didn't you leave?" Why did you come back again?! ”
Gu Tan glanced at me disdainfully and said, "We're leaving, but seeing the signal you sent, of course we have to come back to find out!" ”
Signal? What signal? My mind was in a hurry, and I suddenly thought of something, and turned to the old pig fairy and said: "Old pig fairy, it's all you, it's okay to order some cow dung, those blood bats escaped from the passage, and the two of them must have come back after seeing the blood bats." The blood bats live in the dark caves, and if they are not driven away, they will definitely not escape, although we drove away those blood bats, but indirectly helped the two of them pass the signal, alas! ”
