Chapter 172: Enchantment
Iceberg Snow Lotus grows on the cliff face, and you have to climb the steep cliff to pick it, so you don't know how much time it takes. Therefore, the western expedition team must think of a way to leave the Taoist temple within five days, or their lives will be in danger.
Around the enchantment, there must be magic weapons or charms set up by the caster, such as the green dragon and white tiger with the four divine beasts buried in the corner of the wall, and the stone statue of the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, which is used to cast spells and arrange the array. So, I and the fifth master of Zha held torches and began to look around the dilapidated Taoist temple walls, but the result was to no avail.
Fifth Master Zha and I couldn't figure it out, if it weren't for the enchantment, why would we be trapped here and couldn't get out?
Late that night, all the people gathered around the fire slept very unsoundly.
The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, everyone woke up in the fog, all of them were covered with back pain, tired and sleepy, and no one slept well last night. Even the fat man, who usually can't be shaken, kept complaining that he didn't sleep well last night, claiming that he dreamed of the gold-armored giant last night, holding a double axe, and kept chasing him all night long, almost dying of exhaustion in his dreams.
Chen Dong complained on the side: he dreamed last night that a large amount of sand had been burying him, but his legs couldn't move, so he kept shoveling the sand around him with his arms, and when he woke up, his arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them.
The fat man wasted no time in interjecting: "My feet are also blistered, but it's obviously a dream, why does it reflect in reality?" ”
I didn't sleep well last night, but I don't remember what I dreamed about, and I vaguely remember that someone was talking loudly in my ear. I thought it was someone from the Western Expedition who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I was chatting to relieve my boredom, but I didn't know it was in a dream. Wait until you are upset and want to open your eyes. Only then did I realize that I couldn't shake my eyelids, and then I realized that I was dreaming. I can only desperately recite "I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't sleep." As a result, I couldn't hear after reading all night, and when I woke up in the morning, I felt a dry mouth, and there was a noisy echo in my ears, and I couldn't hear anything around me at all.
All of them had nightmares of different journeys, and the most bizarre thing was the negative impact of the horror nightmares. It's all in reality. The fat man got up early because of a night of running, and found that his feet were blistered; Chen Dong dreamed of shoveling soil, and after waking up, his arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them; And because of the night's chattering, my throat is so dry that I can't open my mouth to speak, and my ears are even more reverberating, and it is difficult to hear the sounds around me.
The dream turned out to be as if it had really happened, which made everyone feel extremely terrifying, if they died in the dream, it could not be in reality. It's really going to die! This idea was so shocking that everyone felt a little dizzy, and wondered whether to believe that dreams would really come true. The dream that came true turned out to be a nightmare!
I think it may be because the yin qi here in the Taoist temple is too heavy. So the people were trapped by nightmares. So he comforted everyone with a hoarse voice, and then began to look for it in the courtyard with the fifth master.
Both of us felt that because it was so dark yesterday, we would have missed something. It's a sunny day. Check it out again, and you'll definitely get something out of it. But it turned out to be a big disappointment for both of us again. At the end of the day, we turned over the floor. The search is still fruitless.
The fifth master felt that the magic weapon of the enchantment was not necessarily located in the corner of the courtyard or near the wall. It is possible to be located in the center of the Taoist temple. However, in the center of the temple is a temple that has collapsed into a disproportionate appearance, which not only looks dangerous, but also makes it difficult to find the magic artifacts buried in the ground.
As a result, the day was spent in nothingness, and the seven members of the Western Expedition who were sleeping soundly at night began to have different weird dreams again, and they had no sleep until the next morning.
Captain Chen got up early and talked to me anxiously. The nightmare of the night made me exhausted and completely unable to keep up my spirits, so I had to ask Captain Chen to wait for a while, I first rubbed my face with snow, and then blew the cold wind, and my mind suddenly cleared up a lot, and then I asked Captain Chen with a hoarse throat: "Brother Chen, what are you looking for me?" ”
Captain Chen looked around for a moment before he said to me, "Brother Sven, your guess is not wrong. There is indeed an enchantment here in the Taoist temple, and the mana is still there, and I also know what is sealed here? ”
It's just that one night later, Captain Chen actually said that he knew that there was indeed an enchantment here, and he also knew what was sealed inside? This was a surprise to me.
Captain Chen saw my thoughts and explained to me, "I had another nightmare last night. ”
After listening to this, I said in my heart: This is not unusual, I also had nightmares last night. It's because in this chaotic and weird Taoist temple, having nightmares has become a common thing, but not having nightmares feels a little abnormal.
Captain Chen swallowed his saliva, and then said mysteriously in my ear, "I dreamed last night, underground" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped his voice, and then looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to the two of us, so he pointed to the ground with confidence, and then lowered his voice and said to me: "I dreamed that there were monsters sealed in the underground of the gym. It asked me in a dream last night to break the seal, and then it would take us out of here and send us out of Kunlun Mountain. ”
Captain Chen's voice was very low, for fear that someone would hear it, but I clearly heard the beginning and end of the story, and looking at Team Chen's appearance, it didn't look like an idiot was talking about a dream, so I couldn't help but ask him: "You said that there are monsters sealed in the ground?" What kind of monster is it? ”
As soon as my words came out, Captain Chen immediately covered my mouth, looked around with a very nervous expression, and then immediately leaned close to my ear and said to me, "Be quiet, it can hear it." ”
I was tightly closed by Captain Chen's hand, and I couldn't breathe for a while, but I immediately nodded quickly to signal that I understood, and Captain Chen let go of his hand.
Through Captain Chen's actions, I think he believes 100% in last night's dream. But I don't understand, if the underground is really sealed with demons, why didn't they appear in other people's dreams and just find Captain Chen. So I lowered my voice curiously and asked the question again.
When Captain Chen heard me ask what the demon sealed in the underground looked like, he thought about it, frowned incessantly, and then said to me with a sad face: "In my dream, I only vaguely saw a thick black fog that could not be dissolved, and I did not see the specific appearance of the demon. ”
A demon without a body is even more terrifying, that is, it is impossible to know what its essence is, and there is no way to deal with it. The mysterious-like black fog can be ever-changing, such demons and monsters, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Daluo Immortals to descend to the earth, and it will be difficult for us ordinary people to deal with it.
I wanted to know more clearly, so I asked Captain Chen, "What did it say to you?" ”
Captain Chen said with a solemn face: "It said that the reason why everyone has nightmares at night is because it sucks everyone's essence. If we don't break the seal and let it out, it will absorb everyone's essence and turn us into dried corpses to bury it. It also explained to me in detail the ways and means of breaking the barrier, saying that it would only give us three days, or it might make us regret it. ”
Everyone in the Western Expedition team was poisoned, and now there are only five days of life left, and now they have encountered the sealed demon, which directly shortens the time by two days. The people of the Western Expedition Team seemed to have been unfortunate enough to be struck by rain and lightning, and they were simply unlucky to fall home.
The residual poison has not been removed, and a new threat from the demons in the ground has been added, which makes me feel anxious and headaches. The iceberg snow lotus has not yet been found, and it is trapped in a barren Taoist temple, and there is a monster underground that is constantly sucking essence, even if it makes me want to break my head, I will definitely not think of any way to solve the current mess, so I had to ask Captain Chen: "What did the underground person say about breaking the enchantment?" ”
Captain Chen glanced around vigilantly, and I was amused by his mysterious attitude, but he said completely unimpressedly: "The magic weapon of the enchantment is in the four walls. Because the courtyard wall in the backyard collapsed before, and the magic weapon in it was destroyed, so it recovered some of its abilities and collapsed the Taoist temple that pressed on him. Now all you have to do is destroy the artifacts in the other three walls. ”
Master has warned me more than once: If you rob tombs in the dark underground for a long time, you will definitely encounter alien creatures living outside the Three Realms, and you must not make deals with these cunning demons and monsters, and you must not deal with them lightly. Even if you see them, pretend you don't see them, so as not to get caught up in them.
I take this to heart and keep a blind eye to any foreign objects. Because once you deal with them, you will definitely get into trouble.
But the rest of the team didn't necessarily share the same idea as me, and when their lives were threatened, they were eager to solve the situation in front of them, so as to ignore the huge hidden dangers and follow-up problems hidden behind the incident.
This time, after I cautiously glanced around, I lowered my voice and said to Captain Chen, "Don't tell anyone else about this matter first, let me check the magic weapons in the wall first, and then talk about it." ”
Captain Chen nodded approvingly, he was also a little worried about the underground demon, so he came to me to discuss it first, and he didn't hide from everyone and secretly broke the formation.
I followed what Captain Chen said, walked near a wall, and in the center of the wall, I did see a brick with a pattern. I fumbled with my hands, but I couldn't take it off lightly, I had to pry it off with a dagger. (To be continued......)
