Chapter 330: Water Monkey
Zhang Zewen's face was gloomy, he looked around a few times, and after he was sure, he said to me, "This is the life pool, generally only people who have no life will be sent here to continue their life, but under normal circumstances, this kind of life can not last long, and you can only come to this life pool many times to soak for a day, so that it can be the vitality and skin of the dead, and restore a short life." ”
When I heard this, I was amazed, and it always sounded weird.
"This is the first time I've heard of this thing." I couldn't help but mutter.
Zhang Zewen's face was always tense, and at this moment, Bai Xiao said, "This should be a secret technique that has been lost for a long time, basically no one knows, when Zhang Daoling was there, he only heard of this kind of thing, but no one has ever seen it, and he doesn't know if this thing is real." ”
"You know?" I looked at Bai Xiao curiously.
But after thinking about it carefully, Bai Xiao followed Zhang Daoling, he had never seen anything with strong winds and waves, and this was just one of them.
I don't have much experience and don't know much about these things, so I was surprised when I heard it.
Bai Xiao nodded, "This is a secret technique studied by people from the Xuanshu family in the past, but later it was said that this secret technique was forbidden to be studied, and I don't know the reason for this, but Zhang Daoling said that this is an evil art." ”
I couldn't help but look at everything here with some curiosity.
"In this way, this viewer still has a lot of secrets to hide from us, you say that he is a viewer of the Shangqing Palace, what does he want to do when he builds such a place?" I can't help but smell it.
Zhang Zewen frowned, and said in a serious tone, "This viewer looks very old, if this is the case, unless he suffered some kind of injury back then, which caused all his internal organs to be damaged, and he has been relying on the power here to maintain his life, but I am afraid it is unknown how old he is." ”
"Brother Zeven, do you mean that this viewer is very likely not the age we see?" I asked curiously.
Zhang Zewen nodded with a serious face, "It should be." ”
Bai Xiao looked around curiously, suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Perhaps, he was poisoned." ”
We all looked at Bai Xiao, and Zhang Zewen asked with a puzzled face, "Why do you think so?" ”
"Because of the snakes out there? These snakes can be used as traps or possibly to help suck toxins out of his body, and I've heard of snakes being used to get rid of poisons. Bai Xiao looked at us with a serious face and said.
If you think about it carefully, the snake that was just in that nest is indeed a bit strange, and if it is placed outside, it can also prevent many people from entering.
But there are so many things that can be used as 'mechanisms', so why do you have to use snakes?
Zhang Zewen walked in front of the pool, and a few of us followed, and we smelled a pungent smell.
It's like a sour and rotten smell, even if you cover your nose, you can't stop the smell from entering.
"It smells terrible!" Zhang Yao said with an unhappy face.
My eyes were on this pool, and Zhang Zewen's eyes suddenly gathered, "It's full of human skins!" ”
I was stunned, and several of us all looked at the middle of the pool, I thought it was some kind of blanket, but it turned out that it was a piece of human skin, floating on it, a complete human skin.
"This ...... Could it be that the viewer has molted his skin? It's so weird! Zhang Yao couldn't help muttering.
Bai Xiao and Zhang Zewen's faces were very gloomy, seeing this scene, we really didn't expect it. 【¥ &… Free to read]
I've seen a lot of big scenes, but this time, it's inexplicably a little disgusting, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Zhang Zewen said with a gloomy face, "It seems that this viewer is here to maintain his life, every time he changes his human skin, he recovers, in such a state, it can be seen that he has been using this spell for a long time." ”
Bai Xiao's face was also very gloomy, and he said in a serious tone, "Back then, the Xuanmen family forbade the use of this secret technique, I don't know what this harm is, he has used it here for so long, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”
I looked left and right, and there was a door in front of me to get in.
Right now, we are not here to investigate the matter of the Lord, but to look for the dragon qi creation, we must not be able to delay the time, I hurriedly said, "Go and take a look first, the matter here, don't worry about it for the time being." ”
Zhang Zewen and the others also understood what I meant, and hurriedly walked into the door.
After entering is a long stalactite cave, the feeling is the same as when we came in before, there is no trace of coming here, it seems that this viewer has only built a place in the place where he entered, as for the things in the cave, he has not moved.
We walked about 300 meters on this narrow road.
The whole cave seemed to be walking downhill, so we were crazy, but after a while, we came to a puddle of water, and there was no other entrance around.
"No way." Zhang Yao stared blankly at the road in front of him.
It was pitch black all around, and we couldn't see anything, but the gurgling water in front of us let us know that there was a river in front of us, and there was no other way around.
"There should be a road here, the dragon qi is generally in the mountains, there is still a certain distance from the location of the mountain range, this river just blocks the road, you have to find a way to get there." Zhang Zewen said in a serious tone.
"Do you know how to swim?" I hurriedly looked at everyone.
Zhang Yao and Bai Xiao looked at me helplessly, with aggrieved expressions, and said in unison, "No." ”
Zhang Zewen and I looked at each other, thinking that the dragon qi here was only enough for Zhang Zewen anyway, so I said, "In this case, Zhang Yao and Bai Xiao, you two will stay first, and Brother Zewen and I will swim over to see the situation." ”
"That's not going to work, we're going to go together." Bai Xiao said in a firm tone.
Zhang Zewen frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Then let's swim over with them on our backs." ”
That's the only way to do it right now.
I nodded.
I carried Zhang Yao on my back, Zhang Zewen on my back Bai Xiao, and we swam towards the river.
With a person on my back, it was much more difficult to swim in the end, and I kept beating my hands hard, approaching the front, and the cold river water was so bitter that I felt like I was in an ice cellar.
"Wait, there's something going on." Zhang Zewen said in a serious tone.
I was stunned, and quickly stopped, trying to keep my whole body on the water.
In the quiet surroundings, in addition to the breathing of a few of us, there was also the sound of rustling, swimming towards the other side.
This feeling gives us a sense of foreboding.
"What's that?" I asked.
Zhang Zewen's face was also very bad, and he glanced at the thing that swam over with his voice, "It is estimated that it is the water monkeys here, let's hurry up, don't let these water monkeys catch them, the number of them is estimated to be hundreds, if we are dragged into the water, it will not be good." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Zewen and I swam forward together.
For the first time, I felt that I was completely exhausted to eat, and the whole person swam wildly.
About a meter behind me, a stream of bubbling things hit, and although I couldn't see it, I guessed that it was mostly water monkeys.
The water monkey, according to legend, is a creature that lives in the water, resembling an ape.
In our hometown, they are called "water ghosts", and they are also called "water lion ghosts", "water ghouls", "falling ghouls", etc., and the names vary from place to place. They generally live in the water, but sometimes they go ashore, and are mostly found in wild water sources such as mountain ponds and reservoirs. Water monkeys are very water-based, and their limbs are weak after ten minutes out of the water. In the water, the water monkey is several times more powerful than humans, so if it is held in the water, it is life-threatening.
When I was in my hometown, I often heard some rumors about water monkeys from old people.
The water monkey has a huge and mysterious power in the water, can dig under the water and shuttle through different ponds and rivers, catch the person who falls into the water and drag it to the bottom, and cover the victim's seven orifices with silt, causing him to suffocate to death, and even legend has it that the water monkey sucks human blood, eats human nails and eyeballs.
At that time, I liked to follow my grandfather from house to house, talk about water monkeys, and some people in the village said they had seen them with their own eyes.
The water monkey also sucks the blood of children, and the hundred-year-old people in our village know about it.
