Chapter Ninety-Six: A Trip to the Palace
"Tame? No matter how powerful the beast is, it can't withstand the sharp blade of the leather whip, and if one whip is disobedient, then two whips will come until he is obedient, and if you look closely at the relief next to it, it is not the coffin beast that is imprisoned in the cage. Long Zi's eyes touched the reliefs.
"Does this King of Chu Mourning have such great ability?"
"I don't know if he has the ability, but what kind of king he was in the eyes of the people at that time, just look at this relief, he is regarded as the reincarnation of the dragon's womb, and the head of the dragon body, the dragon's head is protruding, the dragon's mouth is wide open, the dragon's whiskers are high, and it looks majestic; Looking at this Chu Mourning Wang's Palace, the dragon body is hidden in the cave, the keel is slightly exposed, and the dragon's tail is long and dragging, showing the momentum of taking off, and it is simply feathered into an immortal. ”
Brother Kan was puzzled: "He won't be able to finish refining the elixir and eat the Feather Ascend Immortal, those ordinary people have built a palace here to pay tribute to him, no wonder he is so blatant, if this is the case, it will not be in vain." ”
Longgang beckoned and said, "Don't guess, just go in and take a look, and the blood stains of the coffin beast are gone, and you guys who are defenseless will only stuff it between their teeth." ”
From the foyer, descending along the dark and narrow passage to a spacious place, there is a vineyard in front of you, where the grapes and stalactites hanging from the top wall are intertwined and extend to the outside of the cave, and the beaded grapes hang on the trellis covered by fine branches and leaves, and some grapes are fossilized into stone grapes by stalactites.
There are also small stone benches and exquisite stone tables under the shed, as if specially set up, and later learned from the relief that the legend of Shennong's rain master Chi Songzi loved to eat the grapes here the most, so he refined the golden bones and jade tendons; Shennong's belief that the golden stone could be used in medicine was also inspired by this.
Brother Kan couldn't wait to pick a bunch and stuff it into his mouth, and said while eating: "It's really a long time to see, this is like a treasure hunt for potatoes, like a tourist group." ”
When the purple kite saw it, he knocked off the grapes in Brother Kan's hand and said, "These are all things from the cemetery, and you dare to eat them, and you are not afraid of poisoning you." After speaking, he followed Longgang forward.
Brother Kan muttered, "Am I not thirsty? Don't let you eat a few grapes! ”
Long Ziyan took out the water and threw it to Brother Kan, "Drink this when you are thirsty, drink it and work quickly." ”
Hurry up to the peculiar mountain peak, not far away from the hill bag there is a building of a blooming stone lotus, the stamen is like a dustpan, the petals are like a dragon's tail, the handle is on the top, the flower is down, the most bizarre thing is that the stamen is in the middle of a spring, the silver beads continue to spit out from the eyes, ticking sound, crisp and pleasant.
The silver beads all fall in a jade basin, the jade basin is inverted, but the bottom of the basin is very deep, enough to hold water, also called the lotus pot, the lotus pot is a piece of solid stone, keep receiving the beads, seamless and drainable, but always half a pool of clear water, dissatisfied and not overflowing, difficult to solve the mystery.
Long Ziyan looked at it and said: "According to legend, the lotus pond water is the jade liquid elixir refined by Shennong's, which can eliminate disasters and diseases, drive away evil spirits and subdue demons. If I guessed correctly, the king of Chu Mourning must have believed in this legend, and built such a lotus platform in Shennongjia, the place where Shennong's tasted herbs, I am afraid that this small mountain bag is the spring of the underground river, so this small mountain bag was carved into the same lotus pond as the legendary Shennong's, and the elixir refined by the jade liquid in the so-called lotus pond can achieve the effect of immortality. ”
After hearing this, the purple kite shook his head and said, "Feudal superstition is really more terrible than beasts or something. ”
When Longgang wanted to continue walking, he glanced at the lotus pond and found that there was a trace of blood in the pond water.
Before Longgang could hurriedly throw the flying knife, the red-eyed coffin beast pounced fiercely, Longgang also squatted violently, the coffin beast roared over Longgang's head, Longgang quickly plunged the flying knife into the coffin beast's stomach, and the coffin beast's body twitched and fell to the ground.
The three of Long Ziyan also took out their weapons and faced the coffin beast, and the coffin beast that was hit by the two flying knives in Longgang actually bit the flying knife on its stomach and pulled it out, and struggled to get up, and the sound of "roaring" at a few people resounded through the valley, and the listeners all trembled and retreated.
The blood stains from the coffin beast stained the gray-white hair on its belly, and it grinned as if it was about to fight to the death, but watching a few people slowly approach, he turned his head and ran to the depths of the palace.
Brother Kan just raised his leg to chase, Longgang stopped and said: "Don't chase, then it will just bleed too much and die, there is no threat, I already feel the tomb of King Chu and the curse of resurrection are right in front of me." ”
Long Ziyan noticed that at this time, Longgang's eyes were like knives, his eyes were cloudy, his fierce colors were everywhere, his eyebrows and eyes were in a vicious state, the corners of his mouth were crumbling, he was not angry, he was not happy, he was frightened, and he didn't dare to speak.
In the center of the palace, the air is also suddenly cold, there is only a glimmer of heaven when you look up, the empty valley is quiet, the sky is narrow, the grass and trees are lush and crazy, and the heart is inexplicably uneasy.
Walk forward a break, the valley gradually widens, appear a garden, the mountains in the garden are flat, the clouds and mist are overflowing, the pavilions are towering, from the dense trees, the winding path is secluded, unfathomable, the water can be heard in the garden, but it is difficult to find the river, Long Ziyan said: "It is not the Zizhu River, the Zizhu River is an underground river, the bottom of this garden is connected with an underground river, and the sound of the river flowing from the place where the underground communicates with the outside world is not surprising. ”
Just as a few people were walking, "Bang! Bang! Bang! Several gunshots rang out, and the four people who heard the news saw two panicked people running out of a hole hidden in the garden, these two people were Zhang Hualei and Meng Xiaozhi.
The two of them simply crawled out, Meng Xiaozhi was still holding the 64-style pistol that Brother Kan gave her, and Brother Kan ran to help the two leave, "Bang!" Another gunshot, not Meng Xiaozhi's gunshot.
Brother Kan helped the two of them up, and Zhang Hualei said: "Tang Yongkang is still inside, he is a coffin beast!" ”
"It's this beast again, see if I have to kill it!" Brother Kan** His two machetes are going into the hole to find the coffin beast to settle accounts.
Before he reached the entrance of the cave, Tang Yongkang, who was covered in blood and flesh, crawled out of the cave, stretched out his severed hand, and begged with half of his face torn by the coffin beast: "Help...... Help me......"
Brother Kan quickly ran to rescue him, Tang Yongkang threw away the pistol with his other hand and stretched out to Brother Kan, but before he could catch it, he saw Tang Yongkang's "ah" scream, and was bitten by the coffin beast from behind, although he squeezed the ground hard, he was still pulled into the cave by the coffin beast, and Brother Kan was instantly enraged and raised his knife into the cave.
