Chapter 268: Three Mulberry Trees
There was only the last person left in the Jieshi Palace to solve Tianhui, and Candle Jiuyin approached quickly, and the person stumbled and had no way out, and the only thing left in his eyes was despair and panic, and he fell into a bush with a thud.
He instinctively shrank back, and fell into my eyes pale and feeble, and I cried out loudly, trying to warn him to throw away the gold nuggets from his body, but the man's soul was already frightened, and his stiff body did not obey the call.
Candle Jiuyin swam in front of him, and another miserable strangulation began, I couldn't bear to look down anymore, but suddenly found that Candle Jiuyin stopped in front of the grass, and the person was in a stalemate for a long time, and there was no movement.
Candle Jiuyin seemed to want to get closer, but every time he poked his head over, he retracted irritably, as if something was blocking it, and after trying several times, Candle Jiuyin couldn't swim through the grass, and I even found that Candle Jiuyin became a little flustered and manic.
The giant snake's tail slammed into the ground, roaring at the people in the grass again and again, but it refused to swim over.
Candle Jiuyin seemed to be afraid of something, but it was obviously not a person in the grass, and I frowned, very stunned What could make this ancient beast so jealous.
I looked at it for a long time, but there was nothing else around the man except the grass.
After observing for a long time, I found that Candle Jiuyin seemed to become restless and restless every time he approached the grass, so I paid attention to the grass, the structure of the Jieshi Golden Palace was very peculiar, although there was nothing inside, but the flowers and plants were dazzling, and the water curtain that flowed down all around, stirred up layers of water mist, making this place look like a fairyland.
Before looking at the Jieshi Golden Palace designed on the silk cloth of Ji Lin, it is not difficult to find this, according to Ji Lin said, the Jieshi Palace is based on the imitation of Penglai Immortal Island, from the text of the annotation on the silk cloth, Penglai Immortal Island has a long-term scene, the sun and the moon never night mountains and rivers.
The treasure covers the platform, the four o'clock is bright, the golden pot holds the immortal wine, the glazed treasure prolongs the longevity of the pill, the peach tree flowers are fragrant for a thousand years, and Yun Yingzhen is full of thousands of years.
And here is almost the same as the description, the so-called long-term scene, although it is the bottom of the sea, but the light of the sun and the moon shines through the hole above all year round, and the flower garden plants are planted, like fairy trees and gods.
But the only thing that made me a little puzzled was that the plants in the Jieshi Palace were not planted randomly, but were planted along the water curtain, and I didn't pay attention to it before, but now when I look around, I suddenly feel that these plants are like a barrier.
Candle Jiuyin was actually afraid of these plants and trees, I was surprised, and quickly turned my head to carefully check the grass and trees beside me, they were some low trees, I had never seen them anywhere else, the leaves were like flowers and red like fire, clustered on the top of the canopy.
Every third tree grows in one place, and the leaves resemble mulberry leaves.
"Three mulberry trees?" I hesitated for a long time before I spoke.
"What tree?" Gong Jue asked.
"This kind of tree we usually can't see, but it is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it is a very peculiar plant, because a tree has three branches, growing in three different directions, because the leaves are similar to mulberry leaves, so it is called three mulberry trees."
"Why are you afraid of these trees?" Tian Ji asked.
"It is said that the three mulberry trees are strange, and the leaves have the effect of repelling insects and snakes." I broke off a branch and turned it over and over again, and then re-observed the distribution of the three mulberry trees in the Jieshi Palace, and suddenly realized.
Although Candle Jiuyin's body is imprisoned by iron chains, after all, such a big giant snake can no longer be controlled once it breaks free, not to mention that it is not easy to lock the iron chain in Candle Jiuyin's body, I don't know how much manpower Emperor Qin spent in order to keep this Candle Jiuyin in the Jieshi Palace.
The things in the world are originally one thing and one thing, and the huge Candle Jiuyin will actually be afraid of this small three mulberry trees, so they will plant a circle of three mulberries in the Jieshi Palace, which is to prevent Candle Jiuyin from escaping here.
"Don't leave the grass, Candle Jiuyin is afraid of the smell of Sansang, it doesn't dare to approach." I stood up and said loudly to the people over there.
As soon as my voice fell, the irritable Candle Jiuyin immediately turned his head to look at us, I chuckled in my heart, it was estimated that the sound was too loud to disturb Candle Jiuyin, and immediately swam towards us quickly.
Although I knew that Candle Jiuyin was afraid of Sansang, but after all, there was an ancient beast in front of him, not to mention that I was only inferring that this idea had not been confirmed, and Candle Jiuyin stood up in front of us, opening up and screaming at us.
We covered our ears and felt that our heads were about to crack, and Tian Ji clenched the Tai'a sword in front of us, but Candle Jiuyin was just a ferocious roar, and he still didn't dare to approach Sansang in front of us.
I looked at the branch in my hand, took a deep breath, and took a step forward.
"What are you doing?" Gong Jue asked in surprise.
"It's not a way to hide all the time, this thing can stay awake without eating or drinking for two thousand years, as long as it wants to, it can continue to spend with us like this." I looked intently at Candle Jiuyin and said to them. "The result is still the same, we will be trapped here alive by it, since Candle Jiuyin is afraid of Sansang, it is better to give it a try, in case this grass and tree can really control it, we may still have a chance of life."
When Gong Jue heard it, most of them thought that I was right, let go of my hand, I took another step forward, and when I stepped out of the grass and trees, Candle Jiuyin suddenly opened his mouth and bit me, only to feel a thick shadow enveloped me in an instant, Candle Jiuyin's huge body also pressed towards me like a collapsed mountain, and behind me was Ling Zhihan's exclamation.
I gritted my teeth, turned my head and closed my eyes and didn't dare to look, raised my hand tremblingly and raised the three mulberry branches, my ears could hear the strong air flow of Candle Jiuyin's attack, and the fishy smell in its mouth, it was close at hand, but I didn't feel any pain in my body for a long time.
Candle Jiuyin didn't bite me!
I slowly opened my eyes and turned my head away, Candle Jiuyin had already retracted to the back, his body writhed irritably, the terrifying pupils on his face, staring at the three mulberry branches in my hand with fear, I tried to take a step closer in front of Candle Jiuyin, and it immediately squirmed and retreated.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, it seems that I guessed correctly, it is really afraid of the three mulberry trees, I loudly reminded them that they all broke the branches, as long as the three mulberries are in hand, Candle Jiuyin does not dare to approach.
On the other side, Akai Yoshitaka and Dongying people were similar, and the last person to solve Tianhui slowly came back to his senses, and saw that Candle Jiuyin was restrained, and the panic and fear on his face were quickly replaced by greed, and he put the gold nuggets in his bag while holding the branch.
I shouted to stop but to no avail, Candle Jiuyin saw that the gold nugget was taken away, and immediately became furious, and turned his head to attack the man, but he couldn't do anything in front of the three mulberry branches, and raised his head angrily and roared, and the huge snake body hit the ground again and again, feeling that the entire Jieshi Palace was shaking.
We cautiously walked forward and forced the candle nine yin back again.
"You can't force Candle Jiuyin to the entrance of the cave." The palace lord said to us coldly. "The road behind it is the only passage into the depths of the Jieshi Palace, once we force Candle Jiuyin back, we can't get in."
"I'll stay and drag the candle Jiuyin, you go around from the side and find a way to get in." I say.
"And what do you do?" Ling Zhihan asked worriedly.
"There are three mulberries here, Candle Jiuyin doesn't dare to approach, you don't have to worry about me."
"I'll stay, you go in." Tian Ji's face was calm.
"What time is it now, still fighting back and forth, and I don't look at Akai Yoshitaka and them, but they are more enlightened than us." I glared at Tian Ji.
The Dongying people on the other side had already quietly and slowly retreated behind Candle Jiuyin, their intention was obvious, to enter before Candle Jiuyin retreated to the entrance of the cave.
"I'm a grave digger, what can I do when I go in, what's really in it, I don't have to figure it out to a few of you." Tian Ji said in an accentuated tone. "What's more, I'm better than you, and I also have the Tai'a Sword, so I can deal with emergencies."
Gong Jue and Ling Zhihan also nodded, Tian Ji stayed outside to attract Candle Jiuyin's attention, more suitable than me, not to mention that now there is no time to argue, Dongying people are about to approach the entrance, I told Tian Ji to be careful, I just planned to go around behind Candle Jiuyin with Gong Jue and Ling Zhihan.
As soon as we took a few steps, Candle Jiuyin, who had been manic, suddenly quieted down, and the frightening pupils looked back and forth at Dongying and us, this thing was simply fine, probably guessing the intentions of us and Dongying people.
The huge body moved backwards, and we and the Dongying people fell into its sight again, Candle Jiuyin Xijin, anyone who came here, for it, was an enemy who wanted to covet the Golden Mountain, and the stone cave behind it didn't know what else was there, so that Candle Jiuyin would not slack off even in the face of Sansang, who made it fearful.
We were at a loss, and we didn't dare to move forward rashly for a while, when we suddenly saw Candle Jiuyin's body slowly entrenched together, and the huge snake body also stood up, and the golden pupils on the head stared at us motionlessly.
The person who solved Tianhui didn't realize the abnormality of Candle Jiuyin, not far from him, it was the gold nugget dropped by the person who had been tortured and killed before, the person held Sansang and tried to pick it up, I was shocked to find that this time Candle Jiuyin was actually not retreating.
Still standing, I felt an inexplicable uneasiness in my heart, and then I saw Candle Jiuyin's golden pupils slowly closing, and before I could react, Candle Jiuyin quickly opened his eyes again.
But it wasn't the golden pupil, but the moon-shaped single eye on it, a dark pupil that was filled with endless coldness and resentment.
The moment this eye opened, I heard the sound of things falling in the Jieshi Palace, the gold nugget held by the person who solved the Tianhui on his chest, the knife in the hand of the Dongying people, and the Tai'a sword that Tian Ji had been holding tightly.
There are also three mulberry branches in everyone's hands, and everyone is like an evil spirit, standing in place with dull eyes, and their hands are hanging down like a dead corpse without a soul.
