Although these vines in front of me are much smaller than the blood vines seen at the entrance of the Evil Stone Tomb, they are also blood-red, so if you don't get them right, these are blood vines! It's just that Long Yi once said that the blood vine can only pose a threat to people when it grows to the thickness of an adult's arm, and the blood vine with the thickness of this thumb should be easily torn off, but for some reason, the pulling power of these blood vines is so great, and I don't know if it's because it's underwater.

I was secretly frightened in my heart, and struggled to break free, but after all, it was underwater, and it was difficult to use all my strength, and those blood vines were quite strong, not only did I not break free, but became more and more tight. Wen Qingshan hurriedly came over to help, he hugged my waist and pulled back hard, but to no avail, and even his arm was entangled in the blood vine.

The two of us couldn't get out for a while, at this critical juncture, Long Jiansheng quickly swam to the two of us, pulled out the sword on his back, and with a flash of cold light, the blood vine that originally entangled me and Wen Qingshan tightly was cut off by the sharp blades, and we didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly kicked our legs a few times, and finally broke free.

I hurriedly swam two or three meters away, and when I turned my head to look again, I saw that the blood vines had retracted and were entangled again, and there was no trace of being cut off by the sword.

Since none of us had any weapons with us, except for Long Jiansheng, who had a sharp sword in his hand, none of us dared to get any closer.

Seeing that they could not enter, and the water in the pool was cold and biting, it was really not suitable to stay for a long time, so after observing it, everyone swam above the water.

As soon as I climbed ashore, before I could take off my diving suit, the cheap and fat cows surrounded me, and the cheap asked impatiently: "Brother! What's next? ”

I didn't fully recover before I could fully recover, gasping and replying, "Damn, the entire cave is sealed with a strange vine that haunts people, and I can't get in." ”

"A strange vine that haunts people? What is it? Cheap asked.

I said, "I feel a bit like a blood vine." ”

"What! Blood Vine!? When he heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, the last time he and I followed Long Yi to the construction site where the evil stone tomb was located, we were attacked by blood vines in a dirt pit, and he and I were entangled in blood vines at that time, but fortunately Long Yi came to the rescue in time. And now that I heard that there were blood vines growing in this pool, I was naturally shocked.

The old ghost who heard the conversation between the two of us turned his head to look at me, and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so young that you could tell that thing was a blood vine." ”

"Brother, what is a blood vine?" The fat man asked curiously.

Before I could speak, the old ghost replied: "Blood vine is a kind of man-eating evil vine that grows in a humid environment, divided into two kinds, one grows deep underground, called the earth blood vine, the earth blood vine is very thick, the thickest is like a python, if you are unfortunate enough to dig it, you can say that you will die for a lifetime, and the other is that it grows underwater, called the water blood vine, that is, the kind we just saw." In the past, it was often said that water monkeys would drag people who fell into the water under the water, but in fact they were not water monkeys, but most likely water blood vines. ”

After listening to the old ghost's explanation, it dawned on me that what I encountered last time was the earth blood vine, but this time it was the water blood vine, no wonder it was much smaller.

The old ghost seemed to be very familiar with the evil thing of the blood vine, and Wen Qingshan on the side hurriedly asked him for advice: "The blood vine is afraid of fire, and the earth blood vine can be burned with fire, but how to deal with this water and blood vine that grows underwater?" ”

The old ghost smiled coldly and said, "If I were someone else, I would be helpless when I encountered this blood vine, but this would not be difficult for me." ”

"So, old ghost senior, do you have a way?"

"Of course there is, but I'll have to give me a few days to prepare."

Long Jiu seemed to be waiting for the old ghost's words, and laughed: "Haha, it seems that I really didn't find the wrong person!" Brother Ghost, how long will it take you? ”

The old ghost raised his left hand, stretched out four fingers, and said, "Five days!" ”

Seeing this, the cheap laughed and said, "Haha, I said senior, why do you say that you only stretch out four fingers in five days!" ”

The old ghost turned his head and glared at the cheap, and scolded: "You're blind, isn't this five fingers!" ”

Hearing him say this, I stared at his left palm and took a closer look, only to realize that his little finger was only very short, and at first glance, it looked as if it was not straight.

I hurriedly apologized for the cheap: "Old ghost senior, my brother is dazzled, don't see ......"

Before I could finish speaking, the old ghost threw the oxygen cylinder on his back to the ground and coldly dropped a sentence: "I'll take my leave first, and I'll see you here in five days!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and burrowed into the bushes on the side, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

I was stunned for a moment before I came back to my senses, and asked in a daze, "This old ghost senior shouldn't be angry, right?" ”

Long Jiu smiled and said, "Don't mind, this old boy has such a temper, he is already a rare person, but he is still like a child." ”

"What, he's almost seventy!?" The cheap blurted out.

I was also shocked: "But he looks like he is only forty or fifty years old at most, how can he be so old?" ”

Long Jiu said: "This old boy is disabled, and he knows that there may not be a woman who likes him in this life, so he simply practiced the Yin Tongzi Gong and practiced a child's essence, and he feeds on the treasure of the goblin all year round, so as to maintain his appearance." ”

"What is Goblin Treasure?" I asked curiously.

Wen Qingshan explained on the side: "The so-called treasure of the goblin refers to the coffin mushroom and the blood Tai Sui. ”

"Coffin mushroom!?" I was a little surprised.

Long Jiu nodded and said, "This coffin mushroom is exactly one of the medicines in the secret recipe of the elixir of immortality, and according to my estimate, there is a good chance that Blood Tai Sui is also one of them. ”

"What is Blood Tai Sui?"

"Tai Sui, also known as meat Ganoderma lucidum, grows underground, Tai Sui has the effect of delaying aging, prolonging life, and this blood Tai Sui is the best in Tai Sui, it looks like the fresh meat of a living person, it can make people carrion reborn, it is very magical, but it is also extremely rare, it can be met but not sought, and I don't know where the old boy got the blood Tai Sui."

After listening to what Long Jiu said, the cheap said on the side: "The old ghost predecessors eat coffin mushrooms and blood Tai Sui all year round, shouldn't they have been trained to grow old and immortal?" ”

Long Jiu smiled and said, "Hehe, it's very possible!" ”

"In that case, then why are you still looking for the secret recipe of the Immortal Pill, and it will be over if you eat the coffin mushroom and blood Tai Sui with him!"

"Haha, I would like to, but I'm afraid this method may not work for others."

"Why?" I asked, puzzled.

"Because this coffin mushroom and blood Tai Sui both grow in the extremely yin environment, if ordinary people take it directly, they will definitely be invaded by yin qi, and they will not be able to live forever, but they will lose their lives. And because the old ghost has practiced the Yin Boy Gong, and has been haunting the Yin and evil cemeteries all the year round, he has already developed antibodies to the Yin and evil qi. ”

After listening to what Long Jiu said, somehow, I suddenly thought of Ghost Eye Chen, and if I thought about it carefully, he and the old ghost seemed to have some similarities, so I don't know what the relationship between the two really is.

Seeing that it was already late, Long Jiu asked the bald man to send a few of us back to the hotel.

On the way back, I asked Wen Qingshan curiously, "Boss Wen, what kind of character is that old ghost?" ”

Wen Qingshan replied: "More than 20 years ago, the old ghost was the representative of the Northern Touching Gold Sect, and he was as famous as the 'Tai Sui Hand' of the Southern Inverted Dou Faction. It is said that as long as he is eyeing the tomb, there is almost no way in. He was often a loner, and when he entered the tomb, he took only one of them, no matter how much gold, silver, and jewelry was in the tomb. It's not like the hydra, which destroys the tomb every time. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Qingshan said again: "However, more than 20 years ago, the old ghost suddenly retired and never appeared on the rivers and lakes again. Many people thought he was dead, but they didn't expect to show up today. ”

"Isn't he just a dwarf, how powerful can he be!" The cheap said disdainfully.

Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Don't underestimate him, although I have never dealt with him, but someone who can be as famous as Tai Sui's hand must be outstanding." ”

"Who is Tai Suishou?" I asked.

Wen Qingshan replied: "Tai Sui Hand was once a representative figure of the Southern Inverted Fighting Sect, it is said that when he was young, during a tomb robbery, his left hand was bitten by a zombie in the tomb, in order to prevent the onset of corpse poison, he immediately swung a knife and cut off his left arm with his elbow. Later, he didn't know where to get a secret recipe, and he actually made himself reborn with a broken arm. Since then, it has also had the name of Tai Sui. The tomb robbing technique of this Tai Sui hand is somewhat similar to that of the nine-headed insect, which often sweeps away the burial goods in the entire mausoleum, causing considerable damage to the ancient tombs. Over the years, the police have been tracking his whereabouts, but unfortunately his whereabouts are very mysterious and they have never been able to catch him. ”

"Hearing you say that, why do I think this Tai Sui is a member of the cult?"

Wen Qingshan glanced at me and said, "It's not a secret, I've always suspected that this Tai Sui Hand has something to do with the Hydra-headed Insect," Speaking of which, Wen Qingshan changed his words and turned his head and asked, "You must remember the ravine-faced cult leader we encountered when we were looking for King Chuang's treasure four years ago." ”

"Of course I do! Boss Wen, why did you suddenly mention that guy? "I'm a little confused.

Wen Qingshan said: "At that time, I cut off his arm with a knife, but only a few days later, when I saw him again, he gave birth to another arm. So I think that this severed arm rebirth technique may be a cult secret technique, and his Tai Sui hand must have been able to be reborn with a broken arm because he joined the cult, and he became a very vicious Tai Sui hand. ”
