Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Nine-Storied Pagoda is Secret
"This is the building of the king's house, and we are just some coolies to help him guard the tower." The white man seemed to be tired, and closed his eyes as he coiled his body together.
"The little thing in your mouth is not simple, who didn't know the name of the Nine Yin Toad thousands of years ago?"
According to Bai Yu, this is the original Qin Dynasty when the Lord of the Jun Fang was built, I also asked who the Lord of the Jun Fang was, but Bai Yu shook his head again and again.
I also asked what this place was for, but Bai Yu bluntly said that he didn't know.
"People die like lights go out, and their souls fly to the nine yin. In the middle of the Lechuan River, listen to the toad on both sides. Bai Yu pointed at Xiao Budian with his giant claws and said, "The toad mentioned in this poem of Lord Junfang is the Nine Yin Toad, that is, the little little dot on your shoulder. It was born in the land of the Yellow Springs, grew up in the Yellow Spring Well, and after fifty years of adulthood, it will climb out of the Yellow Spring Well and go to the Lechuan River. (Note: Nine Yin means Netherworld, Netherworld)
Lechuan River should be familiar to those of us who have learned the Tao, this river is in the underworld, the river water is blood-yellow, and it is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts who have not been reincarnated, full of insects and snakes, and the fishy wind blows in the face.
"On the side of the Lechuan River, the Jiuyin Toad settled there, and when he was hungry, he ate the five poisons to satisfy his hunger, and when he was thirsty, he drank the water of the Lechuan River. There is no anger in the body of the Nine Yin Toad, it is very similar to a ghost, but it is very different from a monster. Although youkai have demonic energy, they are also alive, after all, they are living creatures. But the Nine Yin Toad didn't have the slightest bit of life, like a dead thing. ”
Listening to Bai Yu say this, we were all stunned, who would have thought that Xiao Budian, who usually only sells cuteness, could have such a big background?
I turned my face and looked at the little guy in a daze, and when the little thing saw me looking at it, it immediately put on a proud look.
Xiao Budian kept patting his stomach with his little paws, and from time to time he let out a cheerful cry.
Seeing this, Bai Yu couldn't help but smile: "Jiuyin, don't you be so embarrassed, okay?" I know you're good, but you're really underwhelmed like this! ”
As soon as he heard Bai Yu's words, Xiao Budian was immediately unhappy, and ran to the top of Bai Yu's head in two steps and jumped, and patted Bai Yu's head with his paws from time to time.
Ouch, my little ancestor, you're too bold, aren't you?
If this living grandfather is angry for a while, you will enter its stomach with one mouth!
was messed around on the head by Xiao Bu, and Bai Yu didn't care, and laughed and told us about the ability of the Nine Yin Toad.
"Nine Yin Toad, there is no yang energy in the body, no anger, no demon energy, only dead qi, yin qi, corpse gas, poisonous gas, and so on. Lord Junfang once sighed that the poison of the Nine Yin Toad was unsurpassed in the Yang World! Swallow the yin wind day and eat ghosts at night, thirsty to drink the yellow spring water of Lechuan. As soon as you enter the yang world, you will turn into a white toad, and there will be nine yin in the five poisons. Bai Yu laughed and said, "This little thing is a very powerful thing!" In particular, the dead qi can drain all the water and blood in the body of the living creature, as if it has been scorched. ”
After listening to what Bai Yu said, everyone wondered, this little thing is so powerful?
Although it does have the ability to solve the things it solves, no one expected it to be so big!
"Hahahaha, Lao Tzu's vision is really right, my little brother can be simple? I like it! I turned my head to my father and said with an arrogant smile: "As the saying goes, behind every character, there is a cute little toad, who is talking about Brother Fan!" ”
"Why did I suddenly have a beating ** in my heart?" Dad, the corners of their eyes twitched and they said in unison: "You make us very unhappy like this, look at you are all in heaven!" ”
Can I be blamed for this? Well, I'm going to have to suck up! Hahahaha! Lao Tzu can jump and tickle!
"Little guy, yes, promising, worthy of my gold medal brother!" I said to the little guy with a look of relief.
"Quack!" The little one seemed to follow me, and nodded vigorously.
Seeing us playing, Bai Yu shook his head helplessly: "You still have to think about what to do when you go to the upper floor." ”
"The eighth layer is an old monster, the powerful people under Lord Junfang don't know how much, but the one who guards the eighth layer is the most powerful among them." Bai Yu's eyes narrowed, and he looked coldly at the top of the cave and kept telling us: "If you encounter danger, you can run quickly, as long as you don't break through, that person will not embarrass you." ”
The old monster of the eighth layer? Judging from Bai Yu's words, it seems to be a person!
"Senior Bai Yu, the eighth layer is guarded by one person?" I wiped the cold sweat from my head, this thing is no joke!
The front is guarded by monster animals, and the eighth layer is a human? This layer is more powerful than the first layer, and the eighth layer is not a human being! It's God! I rub!
"Yes, it's human." Bai Yu said in a low voice, word by word: "This person has obtained the true inheritance of Lord Junfang, but Lord Junfang doesn't know why he doesn't accept apprentices, but just teaches him what he has learned all his life." The most important thing in this person's life is Lord Junfang, and if you break into the nine-storied pagoda built by Lord Junfang, you are disrespectful to your lordship, and he will kill you. ”
"Let's take one step at a time, dare to ask the seniors, is there a way to return to the outside world here?" Dad smiled bitterly and took out a cigarette, lit it and took a hard puff: "I heard that reggae have gone out, do you know the way out?" We don't want to continue to break into the tower, if we can find a way, we will go immediately! ”
Bai Yu looked at my dad in a daze, didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly laughed for a long time: "Just those two little guys can go out?" Hahahaha! What a dream! They're really good at blowing! ”
"This place was designed by Lord Junfang himself, and no one can go out unless you reach the ninth floor, which is the top of the tower." Bai Yu's voice suddenly became vicissitudes, like an old man in his last years: "If we could go out, we would have gone out a long time ago, why bother staying here for a thousand years." ”
"Every hundred years here, each layer will transform into the appearance of the outside world, and these scenes will last for an hour, which is what you now call the Wanfeng Forest Scenic Area. Although we can't go out, we have also watched the changes in the world, and we have also watched the vicissitudes of life" Bai Yu may have been tired from talking too much, so he closed his eyes and remained motionless: "You guys rest here for one night, and then leave tomorrow, the person above will die."
"Senior Bai Yu, were you forced here?" I sat beside Bai Yu and teased Xiao Bu, leaned my head against the cave wall and whispered: "Renmian Sha also once said the word Junfang, but it seems to hate Junfang very much. ”
"That kind of idiot only knows how to harm people, and it is normal to be escorted into the nine-storied pagoda and imprisoned for a thousand years by Lord Junfang. Lord Kimibo once promised me one thing, as long as I guard the pagoda, I will be able to go out when someone takes the things from the top of the pagoda. ”
Promised one thing? As soon as I heard it, I was curious: "Senior Baiyu, what's the matter?" ”
"The Yu clan, how difficult it is to turn into a dragon, in the outside world, the chance of turning into a dragon is zero. Although I now have dragon claws and scales, I don't have dragon horns. ”
"Lord Junfang once said that when I leave the tower, it will be the day I turn into a dragon."
I looked at Bai Yu's four dragon claws in shock and muttered, "Is it true that the dragon is an immortal?" ”
"No, he's just a alchemist."
