Chapter 442: Town Gate Beast
Xie Yunfei told us that the Black Hades Temple is located on the ground, in the Sky Wolf Castle, there are three floors below the ground, and the dungeon we are in now is located on the third floor underground, so we have to go up to the ground first. It just so happened that Xu Yu and I had just come down from a circular staircase leading to the castle tower, so we went back to the circular staircase and walked up the staircase.
After walking up three floors, we came to a small room without many types, Xie Yunfei took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "We should have reached the ground by now, and the Black Hades Temple is on the first floor." ”
I walked over to the closed stone door in this room, pulled the deadbolt, and opened the stone door.
In front of us is another arched corridor, but this corridor is different from the one in the dungeon, it looks magnificent, not only the walls and ceilings on both sides of the corridor are painted with exquisite murals, and on the side of the corridor, there is a circular stone pillar nearly two meters high every other distance, at the top of each stone pillar, there is a diameter of about ten centimeters, white and round beads, the beads exude a soft white light, it looks like a row of street lamps.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, Xie Yunfei whispered on the side: "This bead is polished with a kind of luminite."
About luminite, I have heard the old aconite mention before, he said that because the evil demon strictly prohibits the use of fire, so in this dark ghost place, luminite is almost the most important lighting tool, I used to think that luminite should be a kind of fluorite that can emit light, and now it seems to be true, but the light emitted by these beads seems to be much brighter than ordinary fluorite, and it looks like a lamp.
I couldn't help but sigh: "This is really extravagant, it is actually illuminated by a night pearl!" ”
As soon as my words fell, Xie Yunfei waved his hand and said, "No! This is not actually the pearl of the night! ”
"Not the Pearl of the Night?" I was a little surprised.
"I used to think that this kind of luminite is actually a kind of fluorite used to polish the night pearl, but later I found that this kind of luminite is completely different from the common fluorite, and the cold of the luminite is very heavy, and it feels very cold to the touch."
Hearing him say this, I immediately walked to a stone pillar next to me, reached out and touched the bead with a white soft light at the top of the stone pillar, and the moment my hand touched the bead, I suddenly felt a cold air transmitted from my fingers, I couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly retracted my hand.
Xie Yunfei hurriedly asked, "How is it, isn't it cold?" ”
I was surprised and said, "Holy! How can it be so cold, could it be that this nightstone is made of ice? ”
"Nope! It felt like ice, but it wasn't, because I had secretly tried to bake it over a fire, but it didn't melt. ”
After Xie Yunfei finished speaking, he said on the side: "These beads are indeed not made of fluorite, but made of a strange stone from the dragon realm and the hell realm, this strange stone can gather cold qi, the stronger its brightness, it also indicates that the heavier the cold qi it gathers, and if it is really the best, but it will not emit the slightest cold, this strange stone is often polished into beads, and there has been a superb divine pearl made of this strange stone, called Kanshui Divine Pearl, in this Kanshui Divine Pearl, sealed with the dragon qi of water, so it can be regarded as a supreme treasure. ”
As soon as I heard the dragon qi of water, I immediately came to my senses and hurriedly asked, "Then where is this treasure now?" ”
Xu Yu glanced at me: "I don't know this, I have been locked up here for nearly a thousand years, and I don't know the world for a long time. ”
"What!? Near...... Nearly a thousand years!? When Xie Yunfei heard this, his eyes immediately widened.
I saw that Xu Yu had missed his mouth, and hurriedly explained: "Xu Yu's predecessor is just an analogy, indicating that the days of being locked up here are like years, and it feels like thousands of years have passed. ”
This statement of mine immediately resonated strongly with Xie Yunfei: "That's right, staying in this ghost place is really like a year!" Thankfully, I can finally leave now. ”
After Xie Yunfei finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.
Seeing that he didn't seem to have any suspicions, and didn't continue to ask, I was a little relieved, and then turned my head to Xu Yu and asked, "Then senior, do you know what that Kanshui bead looks like?" ”
Xu Yu replied: "That jewel is natural, the cold light emitted seems to be soft, but it is very transparent, that jewel was originally a dragon thing, and then it was obtained by the monarchs and marquis of Sui during the Warring States Period, and was enshrined as the treasure of Sui State, so it is also known as the pearl of Sui Marquis." ”
"What!? You...... You mean the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui!? "I never thought that the water dragon qi, one of the five elements dragon qi that I had been looking for, was actually sealed in the pearl of the Sui Hou, which was really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it, and I was a little excited for a while.
Seeing my big reaction, he immediately asked, "Do you know where this orb is now?" ”
"Of course I ......" I almost said that the Pearl of Sui Hou was in Wen Qingshan's hands, but as soon as the words came out, I suddenly realized that Xie Yunfei was on the side, and immediately changed my words and said: "Of course I don't know, this treasure has been missing for thousands of years, and now it is estimated that no one knows where it is." ”
Su Yu sighed and said with some disappointment, "Yes! This treasure contains a very powerful cold water qi, and it also seals the water dragon qi, but it is a pity that it is now missing, and I don't know if it has fallen into the hands of evil demons......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head and looked into the depths of the corridor.
I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurriedly pulled out the dragon's teeth, held them in my hands, and looked into the depths of the corridor with wide eyes, although there was luminite lighting in the corridor, but the light emitted by the luminite was weak, and the corridor still looked dim. So I still have to use the searchlight on my helmet to see through the depths of the corridor.
With the help of a searchlight, I found that the corridor was about fifty or sixty meters deep, and at the end of the corridor was an arched gate more than two feet high and one foot wide, and on that arched gate was carved a huge beast head that looked very hideous and terrifying, and I found nothing else.
I turned my head to look at the beard, who was still frowning and staring ahead, not knowing what he was looking at. I couldn't help but wonder and asked in a low voice, "Senior Xu, what's wrong?" ”
He pointed his hand at the arched gate at the end of the corridor and replied, "Do you find anything special about the beast's head on that gate?" ”
Hearing him say this, I stared at the beast head carefully, but I didn't see anything special except that the beast head was more hideous.
"I don't see anything special! Is there something wrong? I asked.
Su Yu replied, "When we first entered the corridor, the eyes of the beast's head pattern were closed, but now they are open. ”
"What!?" I couldn't help but be taken aback, and when I looked closely, the eyes of the beast head were indeed open now, but whether they were closed just now, I can't be sure, because after all, the distance is relatively far away, and if I don't look carefully, I can't see clearly at all, and when I first came in, I focused all my attention on the luminite that emitted a soft white light, and if I hadn't mentioned it for a moment, I wouldn't have noticed the beast head on the gate at all.
I turned my head and asked Xie Yunfei, "Brother Xie, did you notice the beast head on that gate just now?" ”
Xie Yunfei shook his head and said, "My eyes have adapted to the dark environment, this is a little light, but I can't see it clearly, let alone just now, I can't see what it is now." ”
At this time, Xu Yu said again: "If the old man didn't guess wrong, it should be a town beast!" ”
"Town Gate Beast!?"
Xu Yu nodded and continued: "The Zhenmen Beast is a kind of divine beast in the divine realm, with five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, this divine beast has a very special ability, that is, it can be completely integrated with the material corresponding to the attributes, so it is also known as the Five Elements Divine Beast, because most of the doors of most of the temples in the divine realm are made of gold and stone, so the golden divine beast and the earth-based divine beast among the five elements divine beasts were domesticated by the gods and cultivated into the Zhenmen Beast, and the gates of the temples of the divine realm are guarded by the Zhenmen Beast, if there is an evil demon invasion, Or if someone wants to break in, the town gate beast will attack the ingressor. ”
"Holy! You mean the beast head pattern on the door in front of you is actually a living thing, and it will attack us!? "I couldn't help but be taken aback.
Xu Yu said: "The distance is a little farther, and the old man can't be sure for the time being, but just now the old man did notice that the eyes of the beast head pattern have changed, so the old man thinks that it is very likely to be the Zhenmen beast." ”
"Then can you deal with this town gate beast?" I asked.
"It's not hard to deal with, it's just ......," Su Yu said this, paused, and frowned, as if thinking about something.
It seemed that he had some concerns, and I hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”
Xu Yu glanced at me and said slowly: "The Zhenmen Beast is a divine beast from the divine realm, dedicated to preventing the invasion of evil demons, how can it appear in this evil demon's palace?" ”
Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Could it be that the demon has now learned from the gods and started to domesticate the Zhenmen beast?" ”
"It shouldn't be likely, I'm thinking that this matter is only afraid that it has something to do with Candle Jiuyin?"
"Candle nine yin? The guy who imprisoned you here? ”
Xu Yu nodded: "Let's go over and have a look first!" The old man wants to see what the hell the old thief is doing! After saying that, he strode forward, and Xie Yunfei and I hurriedly followed.
