The moment the white bone branches were inserted into the grass wall, the weeds and vines that formed the grass wall quickly retreated as if they had seen an enemy, and in the blink of an eye, they retreated to the cave wall, and the grass wall disappeared immediately......

"Hey, beauty, what is this bone?" I asked, looking at the bone branch in my hand with a surprised face.

Liang Ruoyi shook his head: "I don't know, if I guess correctly, it should be a snake-turning bone, as for where it is, I don't know." Let's go, go to the third hole. ”

In the darkness, the two of us quickly saw the entrance to the cave, and it was a good sky outside, and we could see the sun shining, and our hearts were suddenly warm.

As soon as I walked out of the cave, Liang Ruoyi was suddenly startled, his body shook, I hurriedly turned my head to look, and saw a black shadow flashing past Liang Ruoyi, Liang Ruoyi turned around and attacked again, but the person gave a pair.

Cloth Bag Monk?!

I was overjoyed, and when I looked closely, I saw a cloth bag monk standing in front of me, but the black monk's robe on his body was already tattered, and the cloth shoes under his feet showed his toes, which looked no different from a monk asking for food.

It's just that this enlightened monk turned a blind eye to this, twisting his Buddha beads as if nothing happened, and looked at the two of us with sparkling eyes.

"Master, what are you?" I wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and seeing that there was no obvious wound on the Budai monk's body, he opened his mouth and asked.

"The bodies of the three of them, the seventh master, are missing." Monk Budai ignored me and said to himself.

"Missing?!" I hurriedly told me about the situation in the cave before, as well as what the black-faced corpse had done to Liang Ruoyi, and then I couldn't help asking, "Seventh Master, are they still alive?" ”

The Budai monk nodded firmly: "It should be alive." I thought about it last night, the killing method of the black-faced corpse is to wrap the corpse skin on the person's body, and use the poison on the corpse skin to paralyze the nerves of the human body. With the Seventh Master's kung fu, I think they can resist the erosion of poison for about an hour, and this hour is enough time for them to save themselves, and the more dangerous one is the old clam with low kung fu. ”

I frowned and nodded, but my heart was even more uncomfortable, if Liang Ruoyi and I didn't run away so quickly, but stayed to help the Seventh Master and them, maybe ......

No, when I saw the Seventh Master and them, the Budai monk was also there, why didn't he say it at the time?!

I turned my head to look at the cloth bag monk, and I stopped talking.

The old monk seemed to see through my thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Outsiders can't help them, and neither can you." Because the black-faced corpse not only has evil qi on it, but also those that paralyze the nerves of the human body are not evil qi, but items extracted from the poisonous weeds of ancient Siam, and you can't touch it. ”

I answered, and I didn't know what to say for a while. It seems that Monk Budai encountered such a thing, because he was very good at kung fu, so he escaped quickly.

Liang Ruoyi told the old monk what had happened in the past two days, and the old monk seemed to be tired, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and listened while eating a piece of bread, resting for a while, and then got up and went to the third cave with us.

According to the conjecture between them, the third cave attribute should be water.

"Master, you said that these caves have different attributes, are they naturally formed or artificially excavated?" I asked the Budai monk as I walked.

"Natural." The old monk said four words and then stopped talking.

I didn't bother to ask, since I knew this old monk until now, I guess what he said is not as good as what I said.

Soon, the three of us came to the third cave, and when the flashlight shone into it, I was stunned: the attributes of this third cave were too obvious, and the whole cave was a lake, which looked like a clear wave, and there were some weeds floating on the surface of the lake, which looked a little scary.

Could there be any water monsters or something? I think.

Liang Ruoyi turned his head to look at me and Budai Monk: "We're just looking for something, do we go in together, or do I go in alone?" ”

"Together."

Before I could speak, the cloth bag monk opened his mouth and said that he wanted to go in together. I could only nod, put on my life jacket, and slowly walked in with the two of them.

The lake is not deep, and when I walked more than ten meters, the water level just reached my chest.

I stopped, took a flashlight and looked around, and saw that the cave was very small, only half a football field in size, and it was all filled with this lake, the top of the cave was about two feet high, and there were bare stone walls on all sides, and I couldn't see anything special.

"Could it be underwater?" I looked at Liang Ruoyi and said, "I can't see anything here." ”

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly felt the bottom of the lake under my feet tremble, and then the mud on the soles of my feet slowly flowed, I hurriedly grabbed Liang Ruoyi's arm, stabilized my body, and saw a whirlpool on the surface of the lake not far away.

A few seconds later, a stone statue slowly rose from the whirlpool, and when you look at it, it is actually a bluestone serpent statue about a foot high.

This stone statue is finely carved, and a snake with its head raised and attacking is carved vividly, with both gods and shapes, and at a glance, I thought it was a real snake.

And under the snake's left front paw, there is a white thumb-sized bead, shining in the light of the flashlight, like a star in the night sky.

This bead instantly reminded me of the soul fixing bead that the Budai monk asked me to pick up when he first saw me more than half a year ago. I turned my head to look at the cloth bag monk: "Master, do you know this bead?" ”

"This is the Star Cold Stone?!" Liang Ruoyi on the side exclaimed in surprise and looked at the cloth bag monk.

"It looks like it." The Budai monk frowned: "Has no one stolen this tomb?" Or did you not succeed in stealing? ”

"What is the Star Chillstone?" I looked at the Ice Beauty with a puzzled expression.

"This thing is only found in the iceberg in the poles." Liang Ruoyi explained: "That place is extremely cold all year round, in the iceberg, sometimes a reef will be frozen, this reef in hundreds or even thousands of years of freezing, constantly shrinking its own volume, you know, the lowest temperature in Antarctica once reached minus 80 degrees, in this climate has been frozen for more than a thousand years, the reef will eventually become a fist-sized, crystal clear stone, called Xinghan Stone." In the Tang Dynasty, Tibet once paid tribute to a star cold stone, which was obtained in the Himalayas, and it is said that in the middle of summer, this star cold stone can make the temperature of the emperor's bedroom drop to below 10 degrees, and has the effect of purifying the air and increasing humidity. ”

"So powerful?" I looked at the unsightly stone: "Are there very few in the world?" ”

"According to incomplete statistics, there are no more than five recorded Star Cold Stones from ancient times to the present." Liang Ruoyi said and added: "Moreover, they all disappeared hundreds of years ago, and in modern society, there has never been a discovery of Xinghan Stone. ”

"Then how do you take this stone down?" I wondered, "Is it very cold?" ”

"It's processed." The cloth bag monk said softly: "If you don't break it, you won't release the terrifying cold air." Xiao Gu, you can take it. ”

It's me again?! I glanced at the cloth bag monk, and said in my heart why this kind of thing also wants me to come, and that thing is not an evil thing.

"Forget it, I'll do it!" Liang Ruoyi continued: "This thing can't be so simple, right?!" ”

Liang Ruoyi said and walked towards the stone statue of the snake, I shone the flashlight in my hand on the stone statue, watched her walk in front of the stone statue little by little, took out a glove from the backpack and put it on, slowly pinched the star cold stone, pulled it gently, "clicked", and took the star cold stone in my hand.

"Whew-" I let out a sigh of relief, it was that simple, nothing would happen.

I was just about to step forward to take a look at the Star Cold Stone, when the snake stone statue not far in front of me suddenly made a "crackling" popping sound!
