Chapter 233: The Mysterious Disappearance of the Holy Beast
I took off the jade pendant around my neck and handed it to the crazy old man, the crazy old man took it, stepped forward, stuffed it into the hole, and looked at my father-in-law, and the two of them reached out together and pressed it inside, and at the same time dodged, let me and Ma Pingchuan grab the steel cable winch, as long as they shouted, they contracted the steel cable.
The two of us grabbed the handle of the wire winch one by one, and we heard a "gurgling" sound from the stone door, and the father-in-law and the crazy old man shouted at the same time, and the two of us hurriedly turned the winch, and as the stone door opened little by little, the steel cable was also closed on the winch.
Finally, there was a "click" sound, and the two stone doors froze, revealing a dark cave inside, which was more than two meters wide and nearly two meters high, and I don't know how long the stone door had not been opened.
Look along the light, the stone walls of the two caves do not have the slightest trace of artificial carving, rough and unbearable, at a glance you know that it is a natural cave, this villa is built against the mountain, just block this cave, it is also ingenious.
The stepfather's face showed a trace of excitement, and said: "There are two keys in total, after Yueshan sealed the stone gate, he handed me one, and the old tree one, and two keys must be put into the stone gate at the same time to open, but this cave has never been opened since Yueshan placed the three holy beasts in it, and today the three holy beasts can finally come in handy." ”
After speaking, he explained to us again how to breathe after swallowing the Holy Beast Neidan, and then waved us into the cave.
The three of us have been gearing up for a long time, especially me, since the Qinglong Pill and the Red Yang Fire Phoenix Demon Pill in my body have brought me tremendous strength, I have deeply experienced the help of these Inner Pills to us, and I can't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in my heart at the thought of having another extra strength in my heart.
The lighting tools had already been prepared, and the three of them strode in, thinking that the rotten smell was extremely unpleasant at first, and after walking dozens of steps, they got used to it.
Although the cave is natural, it is quite flat, and it is not difficult for the three of us to have more than half a mile of road, and after a while, we really found a fork in the road, the cave is divided into three, we will discuss the method in advance, Ma Pingchuan and I will walk left and right, Xue Bing is standing here and waiting, whoever solves it first, will come back quickly.
Ma Pingchuan was originally on the far right, so he naturally turned around and entered the passage on the right, and I turned around and entered the passage on the left, and advanced along the passage, and walked for about half a mile, when I heard a tiger roar behind me.
I knew that Ma Pingchuan must have already started with one of the holy beasts, and listening to this sound was clearly the sound of a tiger's roar, it was estimated that his side was the lair of the two-winged white tiger.
I became even more excited, quickened my pace, and ran dozens of steps, and sure enough, I found a huge grotto, but it was cold inside, not to mention the Flame Qilin, not even a spark.
I casually hit the big fire dragon, whistling and circling, and suddenly illuminated the entire cave, I was happy when I saw it, I dared to love Ma Pingchuan did not run the wrong cave, but I ran wrong.
I saw that the ground of this grotto is concave, four circles high and low in the middle, so that the middle place is slightly damp, a black turtle the size of a desktop is lying in the damp place, the whole head is shrunk in the turtle shell, but the tail is not a small tail, but a white snake as thick as an arm, white as snow, but black as ink paint, the two are combined together, very conspicuous.
No need to ask, this must be the basalt snake and turtle, the turtle and snake are one and two colors, I have seen it for the first time, the shape is so peculiar, and the color difference is so obvious, it is really a strange thing.
I'm not welcome, it's a Nine Heavens Xuanhuo to go up, this thing looks weird, but it's no different from an ordinary turtle, it's very slow, it's burned by my Nine Heavens Xuanhuo, I don't even know how to dodge, I just desperately reveal the two into the turtle shell and shrink, occasionally the head of the white snake sticks out and suddenly attacks, but it's far away from me, and it doesn't pose a threat to me at all.
But this thing is quite resistant to fire, generally a big living person, hit by my Nine Heavens Xuanhuo, from the fire to the coke, and finally burned to ashes, it is only ten minutes, this Xuanwu snake turtle lasted for half an hour and still moved occasionally.
I didn't dare to approach, and I didn't dare to use the Thunder Knife, for fear that a knife would split the Nedan as well, so I had to keep increasing the fire, and after about forty minutes, the basalt snake turtle finally didn't move.
Even so, I was still a little uneasy, and I shot a thunder arrow at the head and tail, and saw that the basalt snake turtle didn't react at all, so I put my mind at ease.
I took out the Five Elements Blade, read the blade decision, stepped forward and turned the Xuanwu snake turtle over, and cut the abdominal cavity with a few knives, and the abdominal cavity was roasted by the Nine Heavens Xuanhuo without bloodstains, the skin and flesh were half cooked, and everything rose with a burst of heat, and the fishy smell was extremely heavy.
I opened my abdomen and rummaged through it, and sure enough, I saw that there was a black inner pill hidden in the liver, only the size of a marble, and I couldn't find it unless I looked closely.
Stretched out his hand and picked up the Nedan, summoned the water balloon to wash, held it in his hand and walked back, this thing is not dangerous, it is estimated that Xue Bing can do it by himself, it is just a little longer. But I still feel very happy to be able to pick it up and give it to Xue Bing by hand.
When I walked to the fork, Ma Pingchuan had already fallen to the ground, the black tunic on the mountain was torn in several places, and there was a blood stain on his shoulder, obviously experienced a vicious battle, Ma Pingchuan's speed I know too well, I can tear his clothes like this, and the speed of the two-winged white tiger is enough.
Ma Pingchuan was sitting cross-legged, heard my footsteps, opened his eyes and looked at me, and then closed his eyes and said nothing.
I saw a burst of purple light flickering on his body, obviously it was the inner dan that had swallowed the two-winged white tiger, and was breathing and domesticating the power of the inner dan, the purple attribute was gold, and the heavenly thunder technique practiced by Ma Pingchuan also corresponded to metallic, it seemed that the inner dan of the two-winged white tiger was really suitable for him.
I handed the Inner Dan of the Basalt Snake Turtle to Xue Bing and asked Xue Bing to swallow it, Xue Bing swallowed it as he said, and also sat cross-legged, pranayama to domesticate the power of the Inner Dan, and I turned around and walked to the middle passage.
As I walked inside, I imagined the appearance of the flaming unicorn, and I thought that it should be similar to the unicorn in the portrait, or that it was on fire, just like my big fire dragon.
The more I walked in, the more excited I became, until I reached a big cave again, but I still didn't find any fire, and I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, so I hurriedly shot out a big fire dragon, circled in the cave, and my heart suddenly became half cold.
The cave turned out to be empty.
I was unwilling to turn around twice, that is, I didn't find another passage, and I didn't find anything alive, this time my heart was completely cold, I don't know why, the Flame Qilin was not in the cave.
Zheng Da was puzzled, Ma Pingchuan and Xue Bing also rushed over, seeing that I was alone in a daze, there was no sign of life around, and they were a little confused, the three of them searched again together, Ma Pingchuan even knocked on the stone wall inch by inch, and did not find any clues.
It would be false to say that they were not disappointed, but the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to be disappointed.
Although I didn't find the Flame Qilin, when I thought that Ma Pingchuan and Xue Bing had swallowed a Holy Beast Inner Pill alone, I also felt a lot more comforted in my heart, and finally the three of them didn't come in vain, not to mention that I already had the power of the Double Pill in my body, thinking about it like this, I was not so disappointed.
I don't know why, since the battle with the Nether King, I have not only become much more mature, but also gradually more and more open-minded, and I have become more and more respectful of my elders, and even the lower nine rank people feel as if I have changed as a person.
The three of them came out of the cave, and the father-in-law and the crazy old man had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw us coming out, they hurriedly grabbed us and asked, and I told us what had happened, and both of them were stunned.
The crazy old man muttered vigorously: "Impossible! Impossible! I saw with my own eyes that Yue Shan brought the Three Holy Beasts in, this stone gate has never been opened since it was closed, how could it have disappeared like this? ”
The father-in-law frowned, pondered for a moment, and decided to go in and take a look again, and we were worried that the father-in-law would make a mistake, so we followed him in. After entering the cave, the five people went straight to the middle passage, and after arriving at the grotto, I played a big fire dragon and lit up the entire grotto, and the five people searched for it again, but still found nothing.
The father-in-law was still unwilling, and searched the grottoes on the left and right sides again, except for the corpses of the basalt snake turtle and the winged white tiger, which were also empty.
I deliberately took a look at the appearance of the two-winged white tiger, it looked really fierce, half larger than the average tiger, the two fangs were half a foot long, two wings were born on the back, the whole body was snow-white, there was not a single variegated, but now it has fallen in a pool of blood, and was disemboweled by Ma Pingchuan, and the internal organs have flowed all over the ground.
The inexplicable disappearance of the Flame Qilin made both the stepfather and the mad old man baffled, and the look on their faces was even more disappointed, but I kept enlightening them.
A few people walked out of the cave and closed the stone door again, the jade pendant was still put away one by one, and the crazy old man touched the mechanism, and the wall moved out, hiding the stone door again.
Out of the storage room, straight to the ground, to the outside, follow the light to see, I was stunned, only to see Ma Pingchuan the whole person looks much more handsome, looking radiant, not to mention, the majesty in his eyes is a little stronger, between gestures, there is already a vague demeanor of everyone.
Xue Bing's pretty face is even more pink, her autumn-like eyes are even brighter, and the whole person looks refreshed, which obviously benefits a lot.
I was very happy for them in my heart, but my father-in-law always frowned, and told the three of us to go back to our rooms to get used to Neidan, and prepare to go to the foot of Yandang Mountain with the crazy old man tomorrow to find news about my mother.
