Chapter 54: The Thousand-Year Treasure
I moved slowly and walked to the side.
But as soon as I walked forward, my back was cold, and at the same time, a transparent thing popped out from below the surface of the river.
I frowned and pulled the knife out of my pocket.
And the transparent thing had climbed up the river, and it moved slowly, and I fixed my eyes, jellyfish?
Because there is no hand lamp, I can't see very clearly, I can only see a rough idea.
The thing was completely transparent, with a fan-shaped dome on top, and long tentacles underneath it.
I don't know where I got the courage, so I just leaned on it.
When I got closer, I looked down and saw that it was a jellyfish, but there was a difference when I looked closely, the difference was that it could survive on the shore and move its body very quickly.
I exhaled, also trying to calm myself down.
As everyone knows, that thing was still there, and in a blink of an eye, it had already climbed up to my feet.
I was surprised, and subconsciously, I took out the sharp knife in my hand and swung it over.
The end of the knife swung over, which was very strange, and the body of the thing was full of elasticity, and it was even more invulnerable.
The knife didn't do anything for it anymore.
I ran away, trying to shake it off with speed.
I was too naΓ―ve, no, I was just about to lift my feet, and I felt that my feet were not entangled, and with that, "bang-", I looked down, and the surface of the river under my feet suddenly cracked.
I was empty, I fell straight into the water, and things were a little unprepared.
A stream of cold spring water poured into my back, and I swam upwards with both hands.
I kind of mustered up a lot of strength, but it was extremely powerful, much more powerful than I expected.
My feet were so entwined that I couldn't move, and there was a pull-back force down below that pulled me deeper into the river.
I'm also struggling desperately at the moment, and if I continue like this, my physical strength will be overdrawn, and in the end, I will become the jellyfish's mouth.
The jellyfish is transparent in color and has a slight white glow, making it look good in the water.
I shook my head, and my hands sped up.
But my body didn't listen to me at all, and kept sinking down.
I didn't want to give up, until finally, in my sight, I saw transparent tentacles wrapping around my skull.
β¦β¦
It's like a dream, even more real than a dream.
My head hurts, and my eyes open slightly.
"Wind!" The Ninth Master helped me up and asked.
I must have been very happy to see the Ninth Master, and I asked, "Ninth Master, what happened just now?" β
The Ninth Master explained, "You are haunted by a jellyfish, it is a rare water monster in the tomb, which is an evolution of jellyfish, this kind of thing is specialized in sucking blood, like an elf, I'm afraid it is not easy to deal with." β
I asked, "So how did I get out now?" Where is this? β
I still remember very well at that time that I was in the river, and then I kept sinking under the river because of my physical strength.
The scalpel said gloomily, "It's afraid of light!" Now we're back at the mouth of the river! β
"You mean, afraid of light?" I was stunned, a little unconvinced.
This thing itself emits a faint light, and it stands to reason that it should be more active and full of spirituality when encountering light.
The Ninth Master seemed to be able to see what was on my mind, and comforted, "Don't think about it, your kid's luck is not bad, and the jellyfish didn't kill you." β
I exhaled, and my heart sank.
I asked, "Ninth Master, where did Tang Ning go?" β
Jiu Ye shook his head, and spread his hands even more, with a helpless expression.
I looked at the expression of the ninth master, and it didn't look like he was lying.
With the help of my hand lamp, I looked ahead.
I'm on the bank of the river, on a rocky face.
Down the bank, there was a river, not the frozen one, but a flowing river.
I felt a little furious in my heart, so I asked, "Ninth Master, this shouldn't be a dark river!" β
The ninth master shook his head and did not speak.
However, He Wen said, "In my opinion, Miss Tangning has already entered that place?" And this river, I think there is a situation in it? β
I asked, "What will happen?" β
The ninth master smiled, "You idiot, what else can you have, I think eighty percent have treasures!" β
"Ahh
The scalpel said gloomily, "It is very likely that there is an important clue we are looking for, and it is also to find out the whereabouts of the Divine Stone!" β
Jiu Ye was stunned, and said lightly, "Scalpel, what do you say to do now?" β
This time, the ninth master did not dare to assert himself, because at the critical moment, he did not dare to come directly, you must know that this kind of thing is not something you can seek.
The scalpel reached out with my hand and performed the dragon point technique, and after a few clicks, I saw the scalpel and waved it at me.
I was stunned, walked over lightly, tied the scalpel around my waist with a rope, and said, "You make bait!" β
"What?" My eyes widened, and I thought it was an auditory hallucination in my ears, but it was such that I had no room to resist.
The ninth master scolded, "If you are told to do it, don't be a mother-in-law, like a girl!" β
I'm really a little aggrieved, but there's no other way, and I'm the lowest of them, in every way.
In this case, and I can only grit my teeth and agree.
I walked up to the shore and waited for all the scalpels to be ready.
"Get into the water!" The scalpel gave the order.
I didn't panic and jumped straight into the water.
Diving into the water, my brain was instantly flooded with an icy air current.
I was also desperately trying to swim forward......
In the glimmer of light, I saw some jellyfish monsters again, and my heart became a little nervous.
In this case, I didn't dare to think about it too much and sped up the swing of my hand.
The further I went, the more I realized that something was wrong with my bones.
Those transparent monsters appeared on my body again, and I was really frightened, and my body was stunned, and I sank directly into the river.
But my perseverance is still there, and I am constantly resisting, trying to break free.
Eventually, a scalpel arrived, and he used the light to drive the stinger away.
He carried me on his back and swam inside.
Needless to say, as I swam inward, I suddenly noticed that the river channel inside was getting brighter and brighter.
β¦β¦
I lost count of how far I had swam in, until a bright wall appeared in front of me, and we both stopped.
Because we are in the water, we can only communicate with our eyes and gestures.
The ninth master squinted his eyes and made a question mark?
The scalpel indicated that it might be a partition wall, or an open wall that existed beneath the river.
I didn't understand what it meant, and I couldn't understand what they were saying.
Anyway, I saw the scalpel, made some door opening gestures, and then he went into the wall.
Contrary to what I had imagined, it was a visible wall, and I saw the scalpel poking into half of my body, and he gestured to us and made an OK gesture.
After that, the scalpel went inside in its entirety.
I've never seen a wall like this before, so I leaned sideways into it, learning the movement of a scalpel.
Passing through the wall, I was even more surprised by what was going on inside.
In front of me, there was a purple glow, and this was no longer in the water, but another burial chamber.
The burial chamber here was very bright, and there was a long staircase right in front of me, and I visually measured it more than ten meters down.
I exhaled and asked, "Is this the land Downing was talking about?" β
The scalpel said gloomily, "Quite possibly! β
After all, I saw that the scalpel was really bold, and actually climbed up the stairs.
It was probably a staircase to the sacred, and I looked up, and there was nothing on either side of the staircase, it was white, and at the top of the staircase I could see a slight glint of light.
Is there jewelry? You know, this Dali kingdom is also full of some exotic gems.
I followed up the stairs, and as I climbed the stairs, my feet shaking without knowing what was going on.
Jiu Ye patted me on the back and whispered, "Don't be afraid, we're here!" β
Although the Ninth Master gave me some comfort, my heart still pounded.
I felt more and more uneasy, and I didn't know what to do.
I took a deep breath and continued walking.
The higher I went, I suddenly felt a white mist slowly surround the upper end, and this mist was not poisonous.
The air was fresh, almost, halfway up the mountain, and I looked up.
"What's that?" I asked.
At this moment, at the very top of the stairs, there was a glittering thing, looming.
He Wen said in a low voice, "It should be that thing?" β
I asked, "What is it?" "I'm a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, and I'll go straight up to inquire.
Of course, that's my nature.
He Wen smiled gloomily, "If my guess is correct, it is very likely to be a thousand-year-old secret treasure, which countless people have come to find at the cost of their own lives." β
"And such a thing? It seems that it is going to become a big discovery of the country again," the ninth master said with a smile.
This time, the purpose of our visit is also relatively clear, not to raise the coffin and make a fortune, all actions are to explore the unsolved mysteries, but also to find the lost treasure.
As a result, the scalpel also sped up.
Ten minutes, his grandmother's, it was completely running, but I was tired half to death.
Maybe it's because of my lack of exercise on weekdays that I sweat profusely.
I breathed a sigh of air, and my breath was intermittent.
At the top of the staircase, there was already a gate, and I took a closer look.
The building that appears in front of you is like a gourd, and the upper end becomes a spire.
This is an ancient temple, and it is also a relatively rare Buddhist temple in the Dali Kingdom.
Well, I looked forward with my eyes in front of me, and in front of me was a round iron door, and the iron door was locked.
The iron door is made of red iron sheet with silver nail bars embedded in it.
The ninth master called Xihe, Xihe strode forward, took out a thin needle, and then unlocked the lock.
After the lock was opened, the scalpel tapped on the iron door, and then he pushed it.
At this moment, my heart is also in my throat.
Jiu Ye clenched the sharp knife, Xihe also clenched the scimitar, and as for He Wen, they had a silent gun.
I retreated behind the Ninth Master, blinking, staring forward.
"Crunch-squeak-"
Perhaps because of the long existence of the door, the outer surface of the iron sheet is rusty.
With a few strokes of force, the iron door was opened, and a thin crack was opened.
From the slits, a white light is refracted out.
The scalpel didn't stop, and continued to brick in towards the doorway.
I'm following.
When I entered, I was leaning against the iron door, but I noticed that there seemed to be a magnetic field inside.
I peeked inside, and suddenly, a bright light flashed, and it was in my sight.
I couldn't open my eyes at all.
It took a long time for me to get used to it before I slowly saw the situation inside.
"Wow!" I couldn't help but sigh.
It's not at all what I expected.
In front of me, it was also the first time in my life that I had ever seen it, and it was the most spectacular scene ever.
In the distance, large and small sit purple, green, and white crystals in the shape of diamonds, all of which are distributed directly below us, and directly below is a large circular pit, which is constructed a bit like terracotta warriors.
Diamond-shaped crystals, each mixed together, about eight to ten, are spliced together to form the shape of a petal.
I looked at it and whispered, "White Lotus? β
Out of curiosity, I reached out to touch it.
"Stop!" The scalpel tugged at me, reminding.
"This thing is a living thing! Untouchable! The scalpel explained.
"Lifeforms? Or is it a living thing? I continued to ask.
But there were still people who didn't listen, Xiao Shi used the Taoist technique, and he pointed over.
Suddenly, two strong rays of light flashed in front of my eyes, and I hurriedly covered my eyes.
I didn't hear any other noises.
But when I opened my eyes again, I found it.
"Xiao Shi! Wake up, wake up! He Wen shouted.
I took the lamp and looked forward, but I found that I was still a good person, and suddenly, Xiao Shi was directly disfigured, and at the same time, his whole body began to twitch.
And his body directly turned into a dry corpse, and I was stunned and a little flustered.
The scalpel hurriedly stepped forward and said coldly, "He's dead, a dry corpse!" This thing is really evil, it actually specializes in sucking blood! β
In fact, the scalpel had already noticed that it was strange, but it could not determine the situation for a while.
Now I know how powerful the crystal is.
The Ninth Master asked, "What is this?" β
The scalpel whispered, "This thing is naturally formed, and after the precipitation of time, it has now become a crystal, and few people recognize this thing, let alone anyone has ever seen it!" β
I was a little curious, and I got closer.
The scalpel continued, "This thing is a blood spirit stone, a crystal stone formed for thousands of years. β
I asked, "But there are so many crystals here, we can't steal them!" β
However, Xihe knew a lot about these things, and said, "You are wrong, these are just deposited crystal stones, maybe there may be that jewel hidden here!" β
Xihe didn't say it completely, there was something in the words.
