Chapter 48

Tian Ji should have seen our extremely panicked and pale expression, but before he realized what was happening, when he got up, he stood in front of the huge pupil, we could clearly see the eye blinking, I involuntarily licked my lips, an inexplicable creepy, and then raised my hand, no one dared to speak at this time, we were afraid that any slight sound would stimulate the fierce beast behind Tian Ji.

I slowly stretched out my finger and pointed behind Tian Ji to remind him, but Tian Ji still didn't understand the meaning of my action.

"It's okay, it's just a small wound......"

Tian Ji said disapprovingly, the afterglow of his eyes should be to see behind him, and suddenly the whole person was stunned, slowly turned his body over, and was instantly dumbfounded, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground without standing firmly.

When I lifted the pheasant up from the ground, I found that his palms were as cold as mine, and then a loud and low hissing sound like a cow's cry came from the mural, and instantly felt that the eardrum was about to be torn, and we subconsciously covered our ears, and were horrified to find that the eye began to move, to be exact, the whole mural should be swimming.

In fact, by now we are understanding that it is not a mural, the awakened Candle Jiuyin is swimming towards us, and the chain that is being pulled makes a piercing sound of friction on the ground, and my mind is blank, pulling Ling Zhihan and telling everyone to hurry back.

Those who were still digging for gold in the Jieshi Palace were also shocked when they heard this roar, and their frightened faces changed greatly, and Akai Yoshitaka and the Dongying people were still searching in the wreckage, and when they saw the candle Jiuyin swimming out, they were also terrified.

We retreated very deeply, but fortunately, Candle Jiuyin did not move quickly, and when its huge body completely came out of the cruise, I saw that there was a road leading to the depths of the Jieshi Palace.

It seems that there is still a place in the Jieshi Palace that we haven't seen, and that may be the real secret here.

When Candle Jiuyin completely swam out, when a deafening chirp sounded clearly, we finally saw the legendary ancient beast.

Candle Jiuyin is like a crimson giant snake, covered with triangular hard scales, rough and hard, dark red, there is a row of dragon-like bony protrusions on the back, a huge head is like a human face and a dragon's head, with facial features, and two long horns on the forehead, with eyes standing up and down, and a fierce face.

"This ...... What is this thing? Tian Ji asked in shock, his voice trembling a little.

"Candle Jiuyin, the ancient giant beast recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas, is said to be the god of Zhongshan, and the name is Candle Yin." I replied in a low voice.

Legend is legend, but I never expected that we really saw Candle Jiuyin at the bottom of the sea, from the appearance, this monster should be a mutated snake, the most peculiar place is it, the two eyes erected on the head of the face.

"Is this thing the same as the tail of the worm, entering the Jieshi Palace by mistake, and then treating this place as its own home?" Tian Ji didn't move, for fear of angering the monster in front of him at the slightest movement.

"Probably not, didn't you see the chains?" Gong Jue looked at the iron chain dragged by Candle Jiuyin and said. "These chains are supposed to be used to imprison the candle nine yin, indicating that someone has placed it here."

Gong Jue was right, I soon found out that one end of the iron chain was on Candle Jiuyin's body, and through its body, these chains seemed to grow on Candle Jiuyin's body.

Presumably, when Candle Jiuyin was placed here, someone pierced the iron chain through the bones on its body, and when the wound healed, the iron chain and Candle Jiuyin became one, and the other end of the iron chain was fixed under the Jieshi Palace.

Before we triggered the mechanism, Candle Jiuyin had been firmly locked here, although it was huge, but because the iron chain penetrated the bones of the body, struggling hard would make it painful, so I had to stay here honestly.

But for unknown reasons, we opened the mechanism, and the iron chain that imprisoned the candle and the nine yin was loosened, giving this behemoth a chance to move freely in the Jieshi Palace.

"Could it be that Candle Jiuyin was left here by Emperor Qin?" Ling Zhihan said.

I nodded.

"Counting the time, Candle Jiuyin has been here for more than 2,000 years, and has been imprisoned like this, it ...... How did it survive to where it is now? Ling Zhihan continued to ask.

"The description of the candle nine yin in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is too exaggerated, but there is a passage in it that says that the candle nine yin can not drink, eat, and rest." I looked at the passage behind Candle Jiuyin and said. "Now it seems that Candle Jiuyin really has such characteristics, so Emperor Qin will leave it here to guard the last passage of the Jieshi Palace."

The pupil that opened on the head of Candle Jiuyin's face scanned each of us with a fierce light, and a continuous low roar came out of his mouth, echoing in the Jieshi Palace of Nuoda, making people shudder.

It seemed to be looking for something, until the head of the Candle Nine Yin Beast moved in front of Xie Tianhui's men, and suddenly let out a manic hiss, and suddenly launched an attack on them, Akai Yoshitaka and Dongying people quickly dodged to the side, and Tian Ji protected us to hide behind the stone pillar.

I don't understand why Candle Jiuyin only attacks Xie Tianhui's people, the thick snake body moves very fast, and before they can react, they have already attacked in front of them, and the snake tail will wrap around a person, and as Candle Jiuyin's body contractes, we hear the scream that life is worse than death.

Click, click......

The tighter the Candle Jiuyin was entangled, the weaker the man's shout, and in the end we could only hear the continuous clicks, which was the sound of the bones of his whole body being entangled, and the straight body of Candle Jiuyin looked down condescendingly, the hideous and terrifying beast head was violent and ferocious, and the open blood basin bit the man's already scattered body, but there was no intention of devouring it at all, only shaking violently in mid-air.

Bang dang.

Something had fallen from the man, glowing golden in the moonlight, the nugget he had dug before.

Candle Jiuyin smashed the person to the ground with a heavy blow, and suddenly the flesh and blood blurred and the brain splashed, we hid behind the stone pillar and watched in horror, after Candle Jiuyin killed this person, he dragged the iron chain on his body and swam in the Jieshi Palace, the piercing friction sound made my back faintly cold, and the palms of my hands were full of cold sweat.

But the strange thing is that although the Jieshi Palace is huge, with the size of the Candle Nine Yin, it can easily find where we are hiding, but several times it has swam past us as if it has not seen us at all.

Not only can't it see us, but it also doesn't seem to be able to see Akai Yoshitaka and Dongying people, Candle Jiuyin's goal has been hunting Xie Tianhui's people from beginning to end, and gradually I slowly realized that Candle Jiuyin is not unable to see us, but that attention is not on us at all.

When they arrived at Jieshi Palace, there were only five people left who Xie Tianhui, and now three people had been hunted and killed by Candle Jiuyin, and they were tortured and killed in the same way, not to devour them, but they didn't understand Candle Jiuyin's purpose for doing this.

"It's not a way for us to hide like this, look at the posture Candle Jiuyin won't let us go, and when it kills those people, sooner or later it will be our turn." The palace lord said worriedly.

"Then what else can I do, Candle Jiuyin is bigger than the tail of the worm, there is still a chance to resist in front of this thing?" Tian Ji said.

"That's not necessarily, in the legend of the candle nine yin, there is a saying that the dragon holds the candle all night, it is said that Dayu once killed a candle nine yin when he controlled the water, and boiled it with oil to make a paste to ignite it without extinguishing it." I say.

"That's just a legend, who can kill such a big beast." Tian Ji looked anxious.

"In the record, the blood of the nine yin candles is as white as wax." I crouched down and looked at the burning trough of fire, the grease in it white. "The fish oil in the fire trough of Jieshi Palace is not fish, if you guess correctly, this liquid should be the ointment of Candle Jiuyin, which means that someone really killed Candle Jiuyin."

"Will this ointment last forever?" Ling Zhihan suddenly asked seriously.

"I ...... I do know of a place where there is such an unquenchable fire. Ling Zhihan said thoughtfully.

"Where?" Gong Jue asked.

"Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang." Ling Zhihan looked up at us and said. "According to records, the mermaid paste is used as a candle in the underground palace of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and it is also mentioned in the wild history that when King Yingzheng of Qin was in power, he had caught a dragon in the area of Yanshan today, boiled it into oil, and used it as the ever-bright lamp oil of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, which can not be extinguished for ten thousand years."

I frowned and looked at the white liquid in the fire trough: "If these are the ointments of Candle Nine Yin...... That is, there is a way to get rid of the candle nine yin. ”

"Even if there is a way, we can't do it." Tian Ji said.

"Why?"

"Candle Jiuyin is so big, even if it can be killed, I don't know how many people will have to work together to do it, just a few of us, and we still want to destroy it......" Tian Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly. Isn't this a fool's dream? ”

Bang dang!

Another person was strangled by Candle Jiuyin, still in the same way, first winding and squeezing all the bones, then biting and shaking violently, and finally slamming to the ground.

I followed the prestige and saw the fallen gold nuggets, and suddenly realized, turned around and asked Tian Ji with a serious face: "Do you have any gold nuggets from the Jieshi Palace?" ”

"Nope." Tian Ji probably saw me so solemn and shook his head blankly. "Of course I want to take it, but I have to have a chance."

"Thousands of things in the Stone Palace."

"Why?"

Candle Jiuyin also has a characteristic, that is, like gold and jade, described in the Book of Mountains and Seas, Candle Jiuyin is outside the Northwest Sea, Zhangwei Mountain in the north of Chishui, roughly speculated, the geographical location is just here, and Zhangwei Mountain happens to be a golden mountain in the record.

Candle Jiuyin is not guarding the Jieshi Palace, but the gold here, and anyone who touches the gold nuggets here will be strangled by Candle Jiuyin, so it will shake the corpses of those people, in order to retrieve the gold nuggets that were taken.
