Chapter 50: The Fountain of Youth
As soon as I heard that I had to hurry up to save Wang Xiaoni, I was also anxious: "Uncle Mingyue, what is the way, what do you say?" I...... If I can do it, I will ......."
Master Mingyue smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, whoever raised the child with whom!" You're the same as your grandmother – it's not that hard, let's put it simply! If you want to take away the girl's soul, you must at least have something to keep the soul in, just like you need a container to get water. ”
"What is it that resolves a soul?"
"A magic weapon that has had intimate contact with this girl will do." Master Mingyue said as she shook her head slightly.
Ritual weapons? It has to be close contact with Wang Xiaoni, my brain instantly became a mess, this is an underground tomb, where can I find such a thing! While pondering, I subconsciously touched it in my pocket.
I don't have any magic weapons on me! In a panic, Mrs. Mingyue suddenly reached out and grabbed my neck, although she looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and her body was relatively thin, but her strength was so great that she made me cough again and again.
"Xiao Zhen, did your grandmother ask you to bring this exorcist jade?"
I hurriedly patted her hand and motioned for Master Mingyue to let go: "Yes...... It was my grandmother who made me take ......."
"Have you always carried it? Just now...... You and her just now...... Didn't take it off either? ”
I understood what she meant, and nodded embarrassedly: "Grandma said that as long as you bring it, you won't let me take it off anyway, even if I take a bath." ”
"It's really the creation of this girl!" Hearing me say this, a trace of joy flashed on Master Mingyue's face in an instant, and she continued, "This is a piece of high-quality ancient jade, and it is also a magic weapon that has opened the light, which is just right for female ghosts to hide—with this piece of jade, even in broad daylight, the soul will not be harmed!" ”
When I heard this, I was overjoyed, and I hurriedly picked off the ancient jade and handed it to Mrs. Mingyue.
"Uncle Shi, please save Wang Xiaoni!"
Master Mingyue took Gu Yu, a trace of sadness appeared on her face, and she murmured, "Senior sister! Senior sister, you have been stubborn all your life, and finally you still believe in the master......"
Master Mingyue asked me to cut my finger and drip a few drops of blood on the black jade, then held the jade in my hand and recited a mantra in my mouth.
She recited for more than three minutes, and I saw the black jade slowly move a few times, and then the color changed, becoming black and red. After the jade turned pure red, Master Mingyue opened her eyes and shouted, "It's okay!" ”
I picked up the jade with trembling hands, first put it on my face and rubbed it, and then couldn't help but kiss it.
"Little evil, that girl's soul is in this jade, but it can't be awakened yet-to wake her up, you need to ...... Forget it, it's a long story, I'll tell you when we get out! ”
As she spoke, she motioned for me to put the jade back around my neck.
Mrs. Mingyue walked to the "Fountain of Youth" again and said to Lao Huang, "Senior brother! Everything is cause and effect, and this is also your senior sister and my creation, I have calculated my lifespan, and it was supposed to be this year - but after encountering this spring, it will last for at least twenty years. ”
With that, she turned and smiled at the three of us, and slowly walked into the Fountain of Youth.
Looking at the boiling spring and the slowly rising water vapor, I was a little worried, if Master Mingyue misjudged, this was boiling water, wouldn't it burn people?
Mrs. Mingyue walked in slowly, it seemed that the spring water was not as hot as expected, and it was not until it was not past her chest that Mrs. Mingyue turned to look at us again, and then slowly sank.
Several of us held our breath, staring straight at the ripples on the surface of the hot spring, waiting for the next second to reveal a miracle or tragedy.
About half a minute later, with a "bang" sound, Mingyue Shitai came out.
When I saw the Empress Dowager Mingyue, I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth - she turned into an old lady who looked older than her grandmother.
"Senior sister, you!" Lao Huang was also full of surprise, and halfway through his words, he didn't know how to continue to ask.
Master Mingyue smiled, her face full of wrinkles like bun skin: "You should be happy for me...... I've saved my ......."
Mrs. Mingyue walked up from the hot spring, and at this time I realized that her back was also hunched, and she was an old man in her old age. Seeing her like this, we looked at Lao Huangmian and didn't quite get used to it.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came out of the magma pit, as if a behemoth was roaring, and then flames more than a meter high erupted, and the entire stone cave shook.
"Is there an earthquake?" I exclaimed.
Lao Huang pointed to the magma pit: "I'm afraid that there are too many souls in that demon's body that cause the expansion, right?" In fact, he has been a dead man for a long time, and he has been sustained by absorbing the souls of others for the past ten years......"
Uncle Wang looked at his watch, his face changed greatly, and he pointed to the hole on the other side and shouted: "Oh no, hurry up and follow me!" ”
Lao Huang and I helped Mingyue Shitai one by one and hurriedly followed into the cave.
Relying on the memory fragments in his mind before, Uncle Wang seemed to be very familiar with the passage of this tomb, and after we followed him around and around, we ran for about five or six minutes, and suddenly a very wide cave appeared in front of us, which looked like a natural cave.
The earth shook more and more along the way, and I fell at least a dozen feet, and my hands were covered in blood.
As I passed a bend, I suddenly saw two dead bodies huddled in the corner.
It would have been normal to see dead bodies in graves, but these two bodies are very strange at first glance, they are wearing beige camouflage uniforms and peaked caps on their heads—these are clearly two modern people.
Because of the urgency of the situation, I didn't have time to look at it, let alone think about it, thinking that these should be two tomb robbers!
In the distance, I heard the sound of roaring water in the distance, and half a minute later, I saw an underground river seven or eight meters wide appearing in front of me. Uncle Wang stopped on the bank of the underground river,
There were seven or eight wrist-thick bronze chains lying across the water, and what was even more incredible was that two of them were wrapped around a huge coffin.
It looked like it was a sarcophagus, with a blue-gray surface, no more than two meters above the water.
"Hurry up and push the lid of the coffin!" Uncle Wang didn't hesitate, and rushed to the sarcophagus as he spoke, Lao Huang and I were confused, stunned for a moment, but still hurried over.
This is a huge coffin, about two and a half meters long, one and a half meters wide, the coffin board is engraved with many strange figures, it seems to be very heavy, but we use a little effort, the coffin board cracks out of the gap of half a meter.
The magnitude of the earthquake was so great that several people could barely stand still.
"Hurry up...... Hurry up to the coffin......" Uncle Wang shouted eagerly, pointing to the gap in the coffin lid.
Although I had 100,000 whys in my mind, the situation was urgent, and I knew that Uncle Wang was very familiar with the situation in this tomb, so the three of them didn't ask, and they squeezed into the coffin.
We all got into the coffin, but Uncle Wang stood by and smiled strangely at me.
