Chapter 45: Jiang Chen
As the so-called fear of something, Huang Jianjun and I stood on the observation deck and watched the black coffin's every move, when a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the air and hit the coffin directly, the coffin lid was blown into pieces by the thunder, and an extremely cold black gas emanated from the coffin. I opened my yin and yang eyes and saw a tall headless male corpse lying in the coffin, surrounded by a thick yin aura.
Huang Jianjun said in a deep voice: "The headless male corpse in the coffin is Jiang Chen, and it is recorded in history that he was shown to the public by the government, and the head is unknown. ”
According to the account of "Early Morning Local Chronicles", Jiang Chen's body was separated after his death, so the question is, a monster without a head can still slaughter a city? This headless corpse is too powerful, isn't it?
As it turned out, it was I who overthought it. Jiang Chen raised a pair of arms that were glued to the flesh and cut at both sides of the coffin, and slowly stood up from the coffin, we could feel a suffocating aura hundreds of meters away from him.
"Jiang Chen has been trapped at the bottom of Jinghu Lake for hundreds of years, and he has maintained the immortality of his body by absorbing the vitality of the lake water and the earth's qi, and his cultivation has been greatly improved. Now he is not an ordinary zombie, and it is very likely that he has evolved into the monster Shui Yu in ancient legends. ”
I remember when I was in high school, my father took me and Jiawen to visit the ancient town of Broken Dragon in western Yunnan. When we came to the ancient town, we were told by the locals that the town had not had a drop of rain for three years, and that even the groundwater was drying up. My father thought that there must be something strange behind the three-year drought in the ancient town of Broken Dragon. Pingxi County, the nearest county town to Broken Dragon, has just had a heavy rain recently, if the drought in Broken Dragon Ancient Town is caused by abnormal weather, why is there no drought in Pingxi County?
My father immediately ruled out the climatic factors, and he climbed to the highest peak near the ancient town of Broken Dragon to see what it was, and this look really saw that there was a problem. Jiawen and I climbed to the top of the peak with my father, and had an unobstructed view of the scenery of Broken Dragon Ancient Town, we only cared about the scenery at that time, and did not find anything unusual, while my father stared directly at a huge stone monument in the center of Broken Dragon Ancient Town.
Later, we followed my father down the hill to the central plaza where the stone monument was located. Father took out a Yin Test Talisman and prepared to put it on the stone tablet to test the Yin Qi here, and the moment the rune paper touched the stone tablet, the Yin Test Talisman burned inexplicably, and it didn't take long to turn into ashes. The father pressed his hand on the stele and couldn't help but shout: "This stele is so hot, it seems that there is a heat source under the stele, and this heat source is the culprit that caused the three-year drought in the ancient town." ”
My father boldly guessed that there should be an ancient tomb under the stone tablet, and there was a dry demon in the tomb that had been cultivated for hundreds of years, because we were traveling at that time, and we didn't have any magic weapons with us. My father told the locals that it would be difficult to fight the marble under the stele without a magic weapon.
With the assistance of the local people, I finally got a decent set of magic weapons for my father. Under the careful arrangement of my father, a few brave young men used earth explosives to blow the stele to pieces, and after cleaning up the debris of the stele, my father took a sapper shovel to dig a deep hole in the soft ground, and a steady stream of hot air came out of the black hole.
The father pointed to the hole and said that it was down there, and the people fled in all directions.
Shortly after the hole was dug open, a monster with a body full of heat, an ugly and hideous face, and a white bone wrapped in its body crawled out of the hole.
It was the first time I'd ever seen a darthorn in my life, and it looked like a moving active volcano, with a scorching air current that made us sweat profusely and almost suffer from heat stroke on a winter day when the temperature was less than 10 degrees Celsius.
In the end, after a hard battle, my father finally completely eradicated the drought. On the day of the eradication of the drought, a heavy rain fell in the ancient town of Broken Dragon.
The monster we are facing right now, although it also has a fish in its name, it should be two completely different species from the drought fish.
Huang Jianjun said to me: "The Water Shark is a kind of monster with the same name as the Drought Shark in ancient legends, it uses the aura of water and the essence of the earth as the energy source, and can defend against water and fire spells. ”
As soon as I heard Huang Jianjun say that the fire spell was useless to the water ray, my heart suddenly pulled out the cold, doesn't that mean that the dozen or so karmic fire true spirit runes I carried on my body are not useful at all?
At this moment, Shui Lu Jiang Chen squatted down and took out a black ball from the coffin, and Huang Jianjun and I looked at it carefully, and it turned out to be a human head.
It may have been sealed in the coffin for a long time, absorbing too much water aura, even after hundreds of years, the human head still has not decayed, and the outline and facial features of the human head can still be clearly seen.
"This is Jiang Chen's head? Wait, the "Early Morning Local Chronicle" clearly said that he was beheaded for public display, but how could the head be sealed in the coffin with the corpse? I asked, confused.
Huang Jianjun shook his head and said to me seriously: "The record of "Early Morning Local Chronicles" itself is full of loopholes, lacking many key details, and it is not credible. There's no point in dwelling on this issue now, let's get ready for battle, this kind of monster is not easier to deal with than a drought fish. ”
As he spoke, Shui Lu Jiang Chen raised his hands and installed his head on the broken neck of his neck, and the skull and neck were tightly fitted without the slightest deviation, which alone was enough to surprise us.
"Master, look, Shui Lu, Shui Lu, he is ...... in the Mirror Lake"
Just as we saw in front of us, the corpse of the water came out of the coffin and stood on the surface of the lake, opening its fanged blood basin and greedily absorbing the water of the mirror lake.
The big mouth of the water ray is like a vacuum cleaner, continuously sucking the water of the mirror lake into the mouth. Huang Jianjun and I witnessed this scene, and we were speechless for a while.
Ten minutes later, the water of Jinghu Lake was sucked into the stomach by the water rays, leaving only a dry depression tens of meters deep.
"Damn, you actually sucked all the water of the mirror lake dry, what kind of monster is this?" Looking at this incredible scene in front of me, my hand holding the Tiangang Sword trembled inexplicably.
Huang Jianjun gasped, and there was a very rare frightened expression on his face: "So far, I have encountered countless monsters with advanced cultivation, but I have never seen a water ray like Jiang Chen that can drain the lake, it really opened my eyes!" ”
I still wanted to say something to Huang Jianjun, but I felt that I was being stared at by a sharp gaze, and when I looked back, my gaze was just opposite to that of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen stood in the dry depression and looked up at the observation deck where I was standing, and he grinned at an incredible angle, revealing a sinister smile that made my heart shudder.
