The so-called half-sleeved robe, in fact, is a kind of cuff length only to the elbow of the robe, in the past this form of special robe is also called broken sleeve robe, and later because of the appearance of the word broken sleeve fetish, the broken sleeve was changed to half sleeve.

Half-sleeved robes, burning whiskers and fiery brains, and holding one hand together and pointing at drought with the other hand are the most typical shapes of dryland immortals.

And the first dryland immortal in history was precisely designed by Lu Ban.

In order to explain what a dryland immortal is, I went to the Internet to look up some information, and unexpectedly, I actually found something.

A lot of the information on the Internet is actually unsearchable, and I will only say what the information I found says something.

Legend Lu Ban had made a kind of wooden kite, can fly in the sky for three days without setting, one day Lu Ban's father sat on a wooden kite from Wu Guo flew over, the local people thought it was a monster after seeing it, they smashed the wooden kite down, and Lu Ban's father was beaten to death with a stick, Lu Ban was angry after hearing about this, so he carved a wooden immortal, let the immortal finger Wu land, Wu country drought, three consecutive years of grain no harvest, Wu people were afraid of Lu Ban's power, so they sent people to give a heavy gift, and held a funeral for Lu Ban's father, Only then did Lu Ban cut off the palms of the immortals, and cast a spell to pray for rain, and immediately heavy rain fell into the territory of Wu to relieve the drought.

Stories like this are made up by later generations nine times out of ten, but the wood immortals in the story do have detailed records in the Luban book.

Luban does dryland immortals, but not to let which country fall into a great drought, but in order to relieve floods, Luban said in the book, when making wood immortals, to put a "heart eye stone" in the immortal statue, as long as this kind of stone is put in, the immortal will live, it will point its finger to where, where will be the fire to the sky, at that time, the fire steaming water potential, it will be able to alleviate the waterlogging, so Luban named it "dryland fairy".

It's just that there are many things in Lu Ban's book that are just similar to essays, and the descriptions are not detailed, for example, when writing about the dryland immortals, Lu Ban did not write what the heart eye stone was.

There are very few things in Lu Ban's book that are recorded, let alone things that have been brought in this kind of essay?

Why is there a dryland immortal in the underground palace built by Xu Blind?

Zuo Youdao's voice interrupted my thoughts: "Do you recognize the inscription on it?" ”

"It's a dryland immortal," I said, "Since Blind Xu can completely restore its appearance, it means that this guy has also read the first half of Lu Ban's book." ”

As I spoke, I picked up my flashlight and flashed the light towards the stone pillar in the distance, and I saw that there was also a dark spot the size of a palm at the top of the stone pillar.

Without me to speak, Zuo Youdao immediately understood what I was going to do, he quickly stepped up, knocked the edge of the dark spot a few times with the hilt of his sword, the cinnabar shattered, and a dryland immortal statue appeared on the stone pillar.

It's just that the two immortal statues point in completely different directions.

After that, we tried to knock down the cinnabar spots on several other stone pillars, and gradually found a pattern.

Some of these dryland immortals point in front and some to the right, and they seem to be pointing irregularly, but if you look closely, you will find that if you follow the direction of their fingers, you can walk out of a star array similar to the Big Dipper.

I said to Zuo Youdao that these dryland immortal statues may be similar to road signs, and if you follow the direction of their fingers, you should be able to find your way to the lower level.

Seriously, after walking along the spiral staircase for so long, our sense of direction has long been confused, and the guiding immortal here is our last directional signpost.

Zuo Youdao didn't say a word of nonsense, and immediately beckoned me to walk in the direction pointed out by the immortal.

Every time we walked, we had to knock on the stone pillar to reveal the dryland immortal at the top of the pillar.

I don't know how many Seven Star Arrays I walked through, but I only remember walking nearly thirteen or fourteen miles, and finally came to the corner of the entire dining room.

Looking at the corner of the house sandwiched between two walls, Zuo Youdao and I both breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a great blessing for us to be able to see two walls at once, at least it's much better than seeing all darkness as far as the eye can see.

On the ground under the corner of the wall, there is also a stone slab with an area of about square meters, and it is estimated that under this board, there is the road to the lower level, and standing next to the stone slab, I can feel a very strong corpse qi.

Zuo Youdao walked to the stone slab, grabbed the edge of the board with both hands and struggled to lift it...... Didn't mention it.

He looked up at me and sighed, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face: "I used to do this kind of thing, I'm used to it." ”

I smiled at him, while walking quickly to the slate, both hands grabbed the edge of the slate, first tried to check the wrist, the power of Zuo Youdao is actually quite large, just now I saw that he couldn't shake this board with all his strength, I knew that the slate must be inlaid with metal, sure enough, as soon as I got started, I found that this board is only a square meter size, and it weighs more than 1,000 catties.

Then I lifted it upwards with all my strength, and the whole slate was lifted, and then I pushed it harder, and directly overturned the slate completely.

Syllable! With a loud bang, the stone slab was overturned to the ground, revealing a square hole on the ground that was enough for a single person to pass through, and below this hole, there was no way at all, jumping directly down the hole, and falling straight two meters to reach the second layer of the dark room, the fox room.

Now I finally know what the word fox room means, and before I jumped into the hole, I saw from the ghost eye that there were many wooden foxes with a length of between one meter and five to two meters on the next floor, shuttling quickly in the dark, and each wooden fox had corpse gas on its body.

As soon as I saw those things that looked like foxes, I couldn't help but let out a low cry: "Corpse Armor! ”

And at this moment, I finally understood what was going on with those hidden piles in the swimming pool, I had always thought that the material used to make the hidden piles was like the vertebrae of some kind of animal, and now I realized that those bones were simply drawn from living people.

The corpse armor technique is also a kind of evil art recorded in the "Book of Luban", but the inventor of this armor technique is not Lu Ban, but a friend of his, the book only says that this person's name is Chu He, as for his life deeds, there is not much mention, but the set of corpse armor techniques he created is recorded in great detail.

"The Book of Luban" said: "What is the corpse armor? Corpse covered with armor! When the corpse dies, it is said to be buried; The corpse rises, and the technique is also. The so-called corpse armor technique is to cover the corpse with armor and make the armored corpse move like a living thing.

This magic seems to be magical, but in fact it is extremely cruel, because the armor must be put on the body of the living, and the armor is poisonous, and the human body will slowly absorb the poison, eventually leading to death, so that the corpse and the armor can be completely integrated. And before they are put on poison armor, these people have to have their spines drained alive, so that they can be greatly resented in the extreme pain, and speed up the speed of their poisoning.

After the spine is removed, the caster will drive bronze hooks into the armor, hook their skulls, shoulder blades, and sacrum, and force their bodies to remain upright, these people are catalyzed into corpses, they cannot stand and walk like ordinary evil corpses, but can only crawl quickly on all fours, plus they have pointed helmets on their heads, and a hook that resembles a tail on the back of their thighs, which looks like wooden foxes crawling on the ground.

The corpse qi on the body of this evil corpse is not heavy, but because the armor around the body is made of gloomy wood, and the bronze fused with cinnabar is used for internal riveting, gloomy wood and cinnabar can be used to cast spells and can also be used to resist spells, so unless you use great mental power, you can't use ordinary spells to suppress these wooden foxes.

Zuo Youdao didn't know the mystery on the wooden fox, and he was about to jump into the hole, so I quickly stretched out my hand to pull him in: "Old Zuo, we have to use your Yin and Yang Great Array." ”

Zuo Youdao was stunned: "The evil corpse at the bottom doesn't seem to be too difficult to deal with." ”

I said, "Although the corpse qi on the wooden foxes is not heavy, the armor on their bodies is made of gloomy wood and cinnabar copper, and I am afraid that ordinary spells will not be able to suppress them." ”

Zuo Youdao did not hesitate at all, and immediately condensed his mental power to prepare for the spell, and I also took out the Netherworld Treasure, and just pulled out the yin qi from above, I heard the explosion of lightning from the depths of the ground.

As soon as the voice appeared, the wooden fox on the lower level immediately became agitated as if it had been stimulated by something.

At that time, I saw seventy or eighty wooden foxes rushing towards the entrance of the cave like crazy.

The power of the Yin Yang Great Array is huge, but it is too wasteful of time to perform, seeing that the wooden fox is about to rush out, Zuo Youdao and I almost gave up the plan to set up the formation at the same time, and his side is already out of the sheath, I also clenched my fists and put on a posture.

In the next moment, a wooden fox jumped up directly below the entrance of the cave and quickly jumped out of the hole.

I saw the right time, and the bonebreaker hit its helmet, and the shock came out, and the gloomy wood helmet didn't fail, but the wooden fox's skull was shattered.

Originally, I expected that the wooden fox should fly out lightly, but the next scene was beyond my expectations.

Only the head I hit flew out, and the heavy body of the wooden fox fell back into the hole.

I glanced at Zuo Youdao, who swung his green steel sword and smiled at me.

You don't have to think about it to know that just now, Zuo Youdao shot almost at the same time as me, I smashed the head of the wooden fox, and he also raised his sword and fell, and the wooden fox's head was separated in an instant.

Accustomed to acting with teammates like Li Huaishan and Huang Yuzhong, when I saw the wooden fox just now, the first thing I thought about was how to protect the people around me while fighting alone. It wasn't until I saw the smile on Zuo Youdao's face that I suddenly came back to my senses, and the people standing next to me at the moment didn't need me to protect them at all.

The explosion in the ground has disappeared for two or three seconds, but the wooden fox in the fox room has signs of becoming more and more crazy, the first wooden fox was killed, and four or five wooden foxes jumped out one after another, Zuo Youdao and I must concentrate to prevent them from rushing out, and with the rapid passage of time, the wooden foxes gathered under the hole entrance have become more and more numerous.
