Chapter 173: The Demon of the Trapped Beast
The collapsed Taoist temple really contained the enchantment that sealed the demons, and because the enchantment was destroyed, the demons that were now sealed in the ground appeared in the dreams of the people of the Western Expedition, wanting us to completely destroy the seal and let it escape from this place.
Master once warned me not to associate with demons and monsters, let alone make deals, and I remember this in my heart.
But considering the current situation, I decided to look at the sealed artifact first, so that I could find a way to leave the Taoist temple.
Now that there are so many people during the day, I decided to wait until it was dark.
The members of the Western Expedition had not eaten all day yesterday, and today they were really hungry. Tianyu picked some mushrooms from the fallen trees in the backyard, put an iron lunch box on top of the fire, and used the snow and mushrooms to cook a lunch box of soup.
At first, the fat man shouted that he was afraid that the mushrooms were poisonous, and the others were inevitably a little worried, but they couldn't withstand the torture of hunger, and as a result, the soup in the lunch box was finally drunk by everyone. Then the fat man took the playboy and began to walk around the overgrown backyard, trying to dig up some wild vegetables and pick some wood mushrooms. Unexpectedly, they were lucky, they really dug up some wild vegetable roots, and picked a lot of mushrooms, tomorrow's food is considered to be down, but the day after tomorrow may be hungry again.
The fat man sighed and said, "Why didn't a blind rabbit run in, so that all problems would be solved." ”
I don't have any thoughts about the fat man's idiotic dreams, and my mind is full of thoughts about enchantments. Demons will use sweet words to confuse sentient beings, what they say. And the assurances made that simply cannot be trusted. But I couldn't think of a way to get out of here. Think about it. I think it's better to listen to the promise of the demon's honey-belly sword, and it's better to directly destroy the demons underground. So we can get out of here safely.
But this kind of thinking of mine is also tantamount to a fool's dream, with the power of a few mortals, how can we get rid of the demons underground. It's all because Master didn't give me the Dao technique, otherwise I wouldn't be at a loss now. In the end, I decided to discuss it with everyone before I started to build the bricks, and I believe that they will stand on the same front with me no matter what.
So I discussed it with Captain Chen first. We both felt that we would be honest and unfair, so that everyone would be able to think of a way out of this place if they brainstormed their brainstorms.
Captain Chen and I returned to the front of the fire, and after sitting down, we told everyone everything about the demons sealed in the ground. It's hard to accept for a while.
The fat man stood up suddenly, and I immediately reached out and grabbed him and said, "Don't be impulsive." ”
The fat man shook off my hand and looked down at me and said, "I'm going to pee." What the goblins say, who will believe it. I don't believe it anyway. ”
Hearing the fat man say this, I immediately let go of my hand, I hope that everyone sitting here thinks. can be as firm as a fat man. But the fat man, like me, was influenced by Master's education since he was a child. Certainly won't believe the sweet words of ghosts, but what other people think. It's very elusive. After all, in the current situation of the Western Expedition team, it is urgent to leave here. Even if we don't deal with deceitful demons at this time, we will eventually die.
At that moment, everyone expressed their attitudes, and they were all as reluctant to believe in the demon's promise as I was. I didn't tell everyone how to break the barrier just in case, not because I didn't trust them, but because the dog would jump over the wall when he was in a hurry, and if a person was forced to be in a hurry, a moment of brain fever, under impulse, anything could be done.
That night, I was the last kimono to lie down. But tossing and turning, it was difficult to sleep, and when I finally fell asleep, I began to have nightmares again.
However, everyone who was asleep had the same dream that night. The demons that have been sealed underground have found each of us and encouraged us to destroy the barrier, and then they can take us out of Kunlun Mountain. At the same time, he also coerced and enticed: If we don't destroy the barrier, none of us will want to leave here, it will suck everyone's essence dry, and let us bury him with him. I tried my best to see the appearance of the demon, but I only saw a black mist that was so thick that it could not be dissolved, and the true body of the demon was not seen at all.
In my dreams, the demons in the black mist repeatedly promised me that as long as we broke the seal, they would definitely take us out of the territory of Kunlun Mountain, and they would never break their promises. If I don't believe it, I will first break the seal in the wall on one side of the Taoist temple, leave the other two seals, and promise not to suck everyone's essence again, and will not appear in everyone's dreams again, I will continue to wait quietly for everyone to make a decision, and then take all the members of the Western Expedition Team and leave the territory of Kunlun Mountain.
After waking up early in the morning, everyone couldn't wait to tell the dream that last night was like a reality. Seeing that things were going in the way the demons wanted, I had no choice but to lead the people to the wall on the left side of the temple and point to the bricks with carved patterns for everyone to see.
I see hunger and thirst in everyone's eyes, and now there is no way to restrain and suppress it arbitrarily. So I asked for everyone's opinions, and many people flickered, wanting to go to the next brick first, and see the magic weapon sealed inside, anyway, there are two other places, not afraid that the demon will break free from the ground. Eventually, I decided to dig up the bricks myself before things got worse, so that everyone could die.
The fat man inserted the short knife into the crack in the stone, and began to pry the brick little by little, and after a while, he removed the brick with the carved pattern.
There is nothing special about the bricks, and in the hole in the wall that is exposed, there is something that has been taken out, which is a colorful beast made of clay. But when it comes into contact with the air, the brilliant colors disappear in an instant.
Suddenly, the ground of the Taoist temple shook, as if some behemoth wanted to emerge from the ground. I immediately looked at the clay beast in my hand alertly, and saw its tiger tail and tiger body, which was completely the appearance of the enlightened divine beast Lu Wu.
Something suddenly occurred to me, and I immediately picked up the bricks on the ground and looked closely. I found that the outside of the brick carved is not a pattern, but a deformed tiger stripe, only after thousands of years of wind and sun, the brick on the carving, has already become very blurry and unrecognizable, I will mistake it for a messy pattern.
I sensed that something was wrong, and immediately grabbed the clay statue of the enlightened beast and the carved tiger brick, and walked to the wall on the right. I soon found the brick with a bird pattern, and my head suddenly buzzed, and my heart said: I have to take precautions, but I was still put in a way by the demon, so that it took advantage of the loophole in vain.
The enchantment magic weapons in the Taoist temple are only the enlightened divine beast Lu Wu and the three blue birds Qingluan in the left and right walls, and there are no other magic weapons in the original place. The enchantment in the Taoist temple here is only the enchantment of the two beasts, not the enchantment of the four beasts as I subconsciously think. The underground demon said that because of the collapse of the courtyard wall, a magic weapon was destroyed, so it will have the power to affect the human beings who step into this time, these words are all lies, and they are lies used to coax us into being deceived.
There are only two places in the Taoist temple with magic weapons, and the collapse of the courtyard wall in the backyard has nothing to do with the enchantment at all, and the reason why the underground demons will have demon magic leaking out and affecting others is entirely because of the collapse of the Taoist temple that is pressed on it, causing its magic power to leak from the ground to the outside, not because the magic weapon is destroyed.
Now that I have destroyed one of the two magic weapons, only one magic weapon remains, and I will definitely not be able to suppress the demons underground. It's only a matter of time before the demons in the ground will break through the ground.
The demons who have gone to great lengths to tempt and deceive us must be cunning and unscrupulous, and they will never let us go lightly. The last seven remaining members of the Western Expedition team may not survive tonight at all, so what should we do?
I was really annoyed, and the Master had clearly given thousands of explanations and instructions, no matter what, not to deal with demons and monsters, to turn a blind eye to them, and to pretend not to hear what they said, so that I would never be deceived and would not encounter danger.
The lives of the members of the Western Expedition are short, but there is still a glimmer of hope. But thinking that he couldn't stop things from happening to a bad situation now, and directly pushed everyone to the guillotine, he immediately blamed himself, and his eyes were black, and he fainted to the ground.
At the same time, the clay pottery of the Luwu Divine Beast in my hand did not fall from my hand to the ground, and the pottery pieces were scattered all over the place.
In a coma, I suddenly found myself awake and standing in the Taoist temple. And there were many strangers standing around, some wearing Taoist robes and holding dust; Some wore battle armor and held broadswords. And in the air, there is a golden-armored giant, fighting with a hairy-faced man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the two are flying and jumping in the air, and the fight is indistinguishable and inseparable.
Suddenly, the golden-armored giant turned into a golden python and hovered in the air. And the hairy-faced man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist also turned into a nine-tailed tiger, leaping like lightning to attack the golden python.
As a result, hundreds of rounds of fierce fighting continued, and it was still difficult to distinguish between them.
I stood on the ground of the Taoist temple, looking up in horror. The feeling of being so there is not at all like being in a dream, I can feel the wind caused by the fierce battle in the air, constantly scratching my cheeks, and the pain is very real. Just as I was looking up and watching the battle with all my attention, the enlightened divine beast suddenly turned into a human body, bowed its head and shouted at me: "Immortal, don't you do it yet? ”
I saw Lu Wu Shenren calling to me head-on, and I felt completely inexplicable.
At this moment, I heard the man next to me say, "The immortal must have fallen asleep standing again." (To be continued......)
