Chapter 26 The Mystery of the Puzzle
As soon as he met the snake demon, Uncle Li suddenly looked at Yang Yi: "Boy, I have a bad premonition, we may have fallen for the trick!" ”
"What do you mean? What a hell of a thing, can you tell it all at once, uncle? Looking at the snake demon, Yang Yi couldn't help but become agitated, so he shouted angrily.
"I don't have time to elaborate, what, you can take that Pisces jade pendant with you, quickly, put it in your mouth, in case you are confused by the demonic energy." Uncle Li didn't have time to explain, so he just urged Yang Yi to put the jade pendant in his mouth.
Yang Yi put the jade pendant into his mouth as he said, and then saw Uncle Li take out the bronze mirror in his arms, and slammed the mirror that still emitted a strong light into the snake demon's copper bell-like eyes.
Yang Yigang wanted to say, "You are stupid, the eyes of the python are just a decoration, and the trick of this trick is useless", but he couldn't make a sound because he had jade in his mouth, and he didn't want the snake demon to be shrouded in the yellow light of the bronze mirror, so he suddenly became irritable, and began to subconsciously shrink into the dark corner of the tomb.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Uncle Li pulled Yang Yi and rushed towards the door of the tomb that had been exposed due to the squirming of the snake demon.
Just as they were about to run to the door of the tomb, the huge body of the snake demon jerked, and the black snake body with a fishy wind pressed towards Li Shu'er and Yang Yi like rolling logs.
Between the lightning and flint, Li Shu'er made an iron plate bridge, leaned back with his whole body, and at the same time kicked Yang Yi's heel with his right foot.
The snake demon missed the blow and did not come back again, but quickly crawled all his body into the tomb and gave way to the stone door of the tomb.
Li Shu'er and Yang Yi secretly called luck, one rolled, and was about to grab the door, when they felt a gust of wind behind them, Li Shu'er stretched out his hand and pushed Yang Yi, and the two of them leaned on the left and right sides of the tomb division, at the same time, a rectangular object was wrapped in the wind, and smashed on the stone door with a "clang", and suddenly sparks splashed and rubble flew sideways.
Uncle Li and Yang Yi looked at each other, and they cried out in distress, the flying thing was not someone else, it was the coffin containing the dried corpse.
By this time, the dried corpse inside the erected coffin had turned over, staring at them both with a pair of slow-moving, cloudy eyes, and sticky rancid juice was still dripping from its mouth.
"Ho ho ho..." The dry corpse looked at Li Shu'er and Yang Yi, and made a slurred sound in his mouth, but looking at his expression, he should be laughing!
Seeing a corpse laughing at him with his own eyes, Yang Yi's nerves were almost collapsing, looking at the dry corpse, his brain was blank, and the only prayer was to faint quickly, otherwise he would have to be scared to death with a cerebral hemorrhage.
At this moment, Yang Yi felt that his back was wet, and when he reached out and touched it, his hand was bright red, and when he looked at it again, the red pigment on the stone wall behind him was flowing down like melted chocolate, and even the strange symbols on it were also covered by the red pigment and gradually disappeared.
Uncle Li on the other side also noticed this abnormal change, and couldn't help but sigh: "Grandma, it's been a long time, this snake demon is deliberately luring us to this tomb, the purpose is to use our qi to break through the talisman that seals this dry corpse, it's over, it's troublesome now." ”
The strange thing is that although Yang Yi was already extremely frightened, his mind was extremely clear, and he could clearly feel that due to the stimulation of the jade pendant in his mouth, his tongue kept popping up*, and those* flowed into the esophagus and stomach along his throat, and his dantian began to heat up, and the skin around his body also turned red and hot, as if a stove in his body had been ignited.
All said that he was in a hurry, and seeing that the changes in his body were very similar to those against the Peach Wood Demon that day, Yang Yi's mind turned, and he didn't know if he could breathe fire again, but in view of the jade pendant in his mouth, he raised his hands and his heart moved, and he saw two flames shooting out of his palms like cannonballs, and hit the body of the dry corpse.
As soon as he saw the fireball on his body, the dried corpse really panicked, and his body moved, and the heavy coffin spun like a whirlwind, trying to extinguish the flames on his body with a rapid swirl.
"Run." When Uncle Li saw that the snake demon also pounced on the coffin and wanted to help the corpse put out the fire, he shouted at Yang Yi, and immediately rushed out of the stone gate.
Out of the stone gate, Li Shu'er and Yang Yi were about to run in the direction where the powder keg was stored when they were about to go back and forth, but their feet were weak, and they were almost not frightened. Yang Yi almost didn't swallow the jade pendant into his stomach, but he was stuck with tears in his eyes, so he quickly spit out the jade pendant and put it close to his body.
What the hell is going on? I don't know how long it was, the ground of the cemetery was crowded with black snakes spitting letters, and many snakes were crowded together, making a rustling sound like the wind blowing in a wheat field, which made people's hearts palpitate.
Yang Yi's eyes turned black at that time, are the heads of those black snakes triangular, and at a glance, you can see that they are poisonous snakes, there are snakes in front, snake demons and zongzi in the back, isn't this a dead end?
At this moment, Uncle Li fell and became unfazed, looked around, and found that a square hole appeared on the stone wall on one side that could accommodate a person half-squatting in, which must be the passage that the snake demon came out of just now.
At this time, Li Shu'er didn't care about anything else, dragged Yang Yi into the square hole, and then bit his middle finger, wrote a thunder word on the edge of the square hole, and drew a series of symbols that seemed to be variants on the ground, and then pushed Yang Yi to continue to climb into the inside of the square hole.
The inside of the square cave was very dry, although Yang Yi was beating drums in his heart all the way, for fear that several poisonous snakes would bite him all over his body in the dark, but it was peaceful all the way.
After crawling for a while, Yang Yi's heart relaxed a little, and he suddenly felt that the whole person was about to lose his strength, he knew that this was a normal physiological phenomenon after extreme fear, but he still couldn't control his soreness limbs, so he fell to the ground and couldn't move.
Uncle Li was also extremely tired, and sat down against the cave wall to gasp.
"Uncle, why don't you give it at the critical moment, ah, why didn't you breathe fire and burn the thousand-year-old zongzi just now, what's the matter, are you still waiting for chili noodles and cumin?" Yang Yi took advantage of the thin light in the square cave to look at Uncle Li, who was angry, and complained dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, your uncle and I are bad at chess, and I have made calculations, and I was too shocked just now, and I completely forgot to cast spells to control the demon, but fortunately, your kid is clever and commendable, hehe" Uncle Li smiled bitterly, looking in a bad mood.
"Uncle, what's the matter, you tell me, I also have a number in my heart." Yang Yi saw Uncle Li like this, and knew that the matter must be very serious, so he asked.
"I strung together the things before and after and thought about it for a while, from the beginning, we were deceived by that Lu Jingtian." Uncle Li blinked and said with some shame in admitting.
Yang Yi understood that if he wanted to know the reason for this as soon as possible, it was best to listen quietly, so he didn't interject, just waited for Uncle Li's next words.
"Uncle has been fighting geese all his life, but he was pecked by a family, and he is really angry with me," Uncle Li felt that he had lost face in front of his apprentice, and he was holding his breath and feeling angry, "Do you remember when I went into Lu Jingtian's bedroom and asked him if there was a secret passage or secret room or something underneath, in case of heartbreaking, he swore that he didn't, and said that he was the one who supervised the foundation, right?" In fact, he should have known that there were ancient tombs and snake demons down here, to put it bluntly, that snake demon was the Baojia Immortal he had been worshipping in secret! ”
As soon as Uncle Li's words came out, Yang Yi was also taken aback, could it be that this snake demon and Lu Jingtian are in the same group, why did the snake demon go to kill the subordinates of Lu Mansion, and why did Lu Jingtian invite Uncle Li to arrest the snake demon?
Uncle Li seemed to have insight into Yang Yi's psychology, and continued: "You are a beginner in cultivation, and you don't know that in some evil arts where the sword goes off the rails, there is a saying that raising ghosts to make fortune is to steal treasures for yourself. No wonder Lu Jingtian has suddenly become rich in the past few years, others still think that he relies on thrift and trafficking, now it seems that he must have reached an agreement with the snake demon, or transfer it for him, or simply let the ghost in the tomb collect money for him. ”
"According to what you say, Lu Jingtian has no reason to let us catch the snake demon, isn't that self-defeating?" Although Yang Yi listened to what Uncle Li said made some sense, he still felt that Lu Jingtian's motive for doing this was unclear and logically unreasonable.
"Then Lu Jingtian is just a businessman who is coarse and well-versed in literature and ink, how can he understand the power of these evil arts? You've heard of cult warlocks raising ghosts and not being eaten back, right? In the same way, relying on raising ghosts to transport or collect wealth for the host actually has to pay a price, the price is the host's yin virtue, and the damage to the yin virtue and the yang luck is like digging up meat to mend sores, drinking water to quench thirst, and in the end they are all going to be retributed, and once they are entangled by these demons, it is like provoking a scoundrel to splash skin, and it is to entangle the host for a lifetime. Uncle Li took a breath, adjusted his breath, and said slowly: "I think that Lu Jingtian also wanted to break off the deal with the snake demon after understanding these powers, but it is easy to ask God to send God, where is it so easy, so he planted so many peach trees in the Shen Garden where his only daughter lives, the purpose is to use the innate evil spirit of peach wood to restrain ghosts, and not to hurt Lu Ling'er." ”
"What's even more terrifying is that Lu Jingtian must have used a living person to sacrifice to the snake demon and the dried corpse as a sacrifice before, and it didn't stop until recently, so the snake demon went to kill the people of Lu Mansion, in order to warn Lu Jingtian and let him continue to fulfill the previous agreement, people's hearts are terrible, sometimes more vicious than snakes and scorpions." Uncle Li touched his chin with his hand and sighed.
Yang Yi's eyes straightened when he heard it, and he couldn't figure out whether Li Shu'er was wanton or delusional, but he had a good impression of Lu Linger, loved the house and Wu, and secretly didn't want Lu Jingtian to be as obsessed as Li Shu'er said, and do such a crazy thing.
"It's just, what kind of agreement has been reached between the snake demon and Lu Jingtian, and what benefits does it want to gain from it?" Uncle Li's words changed sharply and fell into deep thought again.
