Chapter 6 The Old Ancestor of the Enemy Family

In my dream, I saw my grandfather standing on the lookout platform, looking in the direction of home, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time. I was woken up in a daze in the morning, and saw my father sorting out the relics in my grandfather's room, so I went over to help, "Dad, I'll clean it up" My voice was a little choked. "Okay, I'll go to your grandfather's cemetery to have a look," the father's voice seemed particularly vicissitudes. I saw him go out with a shovel.

I was busy packing up the things left by my grandfather, and I picked up my grandfather's clothes, and suddenly a palm-sized notebook fell out of the clothes. I picked it up with curiosity, it turned out to be my grandfather's codex, the book is very thick, densely filled with many words, read a few pages and there is nothing special, then began to absent-mindedly flip around, suddenly I was attracted by a page, only to see that it was written; Today, happy grandson, named Yang Xi, the baby's eyes are slightly open, the ground is accompanied by colorful auspicious clouds, I looked at the date, it is the day I was born twenty-five years ago.

What did Grandpa say about Tianmu? Could it be that I was born with a Tianyan? I continued to flip down with questions, and there was a jade pendant painted on it, why did it look so familiar, I took out the jade pendant in my pocket, it was exactly the same. The codex records: Today, the grandson is full of moon, and a person from outside the door sends a jade pendant, the jade pendant is divided into yin and yang, the yang is in my grandson, where is the yin?

"Xiaoxi, your father asked you to accompany me to the cemetery" I turned my head, it turned out to be the second uncle, only to see him looking at me with dull eyes. "Oh, come on," I put my grandfather's codex in a drawer, and then walked with my second uncle to my grandfather's grave.

On a late autumn day, it was a little cold, and the fallen leaves rattled under your feet. Along the way, the second uncle talked about his grandfather's various difficulties. Far away, I could hear my father scolding: "Who is so lacking in morality," I followed the prestige, only to see that my grandfather's grave was sprinkled with a thick layer of lime powder, which is the rhythm of raising corpses, I picked up the shovel in my father's hand and began to clean the lime powder, and for a while the dust was filled.

Today is the seventh day after the grandfather's funeral, according to the custom, this day is the grandfather's soul day, the eldest son should prepare a banquet in the grandfather's room, fruits and some snacks, of course, the grandfather's favorite food, the outside of the room to sprinkle a layer of white flour, everything is ready, I, the second uncle and the second uncle's younger brother, kneeling at the door waiting for the grandfather to return to the soul.

At about four o'clock, a gust of wind struck, the rooster on the tree became restless, and a cockroach on the ground crawled through the white surface, like a wine table, "Father stood up, all up, your grandfather is back" Father looked at me with confused eyes, and the four of us walked to the wine table and sat down.

"That cockroach is on Grandpa's stool" The younger brother opened his mouth wide and pointed to his grandfather's stool with his right hand. I made a shushing gesture to him.

"Dad, you loved to drink milk powder when you were alive, don't drink it today, drink some wine with our brothers" After speaking, the second uncle stood up and poured the wine bottle in his right hand into the cup in his grandfather's position. The glass that had just been poured was instantly missing. Since I had opened my eyes of heaven, I could clearly see my grandfather sitting there, and he was still so kind, but his face was pale. Blue eye sockets.

With a rooster crow, I saw my grandfather stand up, and there were two more ghosts next to him, and there was a crisp sound of iron chains, and footprints appeared on the white surface at the door. I knew that Grandpa was leaving, so I turned around and knelt on the ground, reluctantly, and shouted with tears in my eyes, "Grandpa, you go all the way." Immediately, my father, second uncle, and younger brother also knelt down. I saw my grandfather look at the two ghosts left and right, and then turned around, with tears on his face, and smiled at me. and vanished.

Grandpa, grandpa, there are still many things I haven't had time to ask you, and you just left, and my father was a little heartbroken when he saw me crying, and took me into his arms with his right hand.

Time flies quickly, and before I know it, it has been a month, according to the custom, all relatives and friends on this day have to come to my house to give my grandfather five periods (commonly speaking, to the grave), the five periods refer to a whole month from the day of the funeral. It is divided into five days in the morning and five in the evening, and on this day, we have to get up before dawn, bring a kettle and a basin. The older generation said that if they were lucky, they could see the lives of their deceased relatives over there.

When I came to the cemetery, I slowly poured the water from the kettle into the basin, and after everyone kowtowed, they all looked at the basin with anticipation, hoping to see my grandfather's life over there. However, only a bright moon was reflected in the basin. I was disappointed.

The dead are gone, the living are sad, all the relatives and friends are crying bitterly on this day, all the relatives and friends who have eaten lunch are waiting for the fifth day of the evening, the "filial son pulls the soul" The steward shouted, the soul is cut into a round square hole with paper money, and then passed through with a line of about three feet, and a loved one pulls his hands against the wall in all corners of the house, if the paper money is sucked on a certain place on the wall, it means that the soul of the person is there.

I saw my father walking in all corners with paper money in both hands, and his soul was not pulled by him, followed by my mother, second uncle, and second aunt, all of which were unsuccessful, I took the paper money in my second aunt's hand and muttered a few words; "Grandpa is getting late, hurry up and get on the road," my voice choked.

"Pop" the paper money sucked on the wall, everyone knelt down in pain, I slowly took off the paper money on the wall, crying even more sadly, who can pull the person who represents the deceased particularly painful.

I carried the paper money in my arms and walked towards the cemetery. As I was walking, I felt a slight pain in the wound on my body, and the jade pendant in my pocket shook, I took out my right hand, stretched out to the pocket, and my right hand felt so hot when I touched the jade pendant, and then took it out, and the jade pendant had turned blood red. "Ahh When everyone heard the voice, they looked at me, and saw that the jade pendant was as bloody as a rainbow, and my father came over and grabbed my right hand; I looked at my father, his face was heavy, I didn't speak, I just nodded.

Came to the grave of my grandfather in the back mountain, I put down the paper money stained with my grandfather's soul in my hand, my chest trembled, my face was like earth, a gust of autumn wind blew, I felt dizzy, weak limbs, weak legs and feet, the wound bitten by the bat began to flow pus and blood, it stands to reason that the wound has been more than a month, it should have healed, but now......

I covered my chest with my left hand, and my right hand inadvertently touched the jade pendant in my pocket, which is strange to say, a warm current swam through the whole body along the right hand, and the pain of the wound was significantly reduced.

"Why are you taking my things" I turned my head in surprise and found that it was Bai Ruoxue with an angry face. "Why are you here?" I looked at her questioningly. "I'm asking you, why are you taking my jade pendant" After speaking, Bai Ruoxue became even more angry. I shook the jade pendant in my hand, "This is given to me by my grandfather a month ago, how could it be yours, what evidence do you have?". "Write yang on the front and yin on the back" Bai Ruoxue's tone was stiff.

"Impossible, my grandfather's codex recorded that this jade pendant was given to me by a Taoist chief, divided into two pieces, yin and yang," I said in a straight tone. At this time, I saw Bai Ruoxue touch the underside of her collarbone, and then stretched out her tongue to me, with an apologetic face, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

Grandpa's Codex records that Yang Pei is here with me, could it be that Yin Pei is on Bai Ruoxue? At this moment, my father interrupted my train of thought, "Go home", and when I returned home, I knelt heavily in front of my grandfather's portrait and kowtowed three times.

Tonight's moonlight was a bit unusual, with only seven scattered stars twinkling in the sky. The sky in the west seemed to be stained with blood, red, and I felt a little sleepy, and when I looked up at the sky through the window, my jaw almost dropped, and the stars that were far apart slowly joined into a line, could this be the legendary seven-star alignment? A big question mark appeared in my heart. Suddenly, the jade pendant placed at the head of the bed slowly flew out of the window with a red light, I grabbed my coat and chased it out, the jade pendant flew faster and faster, and I could only chase it far away along the red light.

The light changed from one to two, and from a distance behind, there was a familiar figure in front of her! I exclaimed. The two jade pendants converged in the air, and then emitted an even more dazzling red light. The whole sky was blood-red.

"What's going on?" Bai Ruoxue asked breathlessly. "How do I know" is a hint of irritation in the language. The two of us just stared blankly at the jade pendant that was combined in the air, the red light became weaker and weaker, until it disappeared, the jade pendant fell to the ground, Bai Ruoxue picked up the jade pendant on the ground and waved it to me in her hand, signaling that the jade pendant belonged to her.

"Show me," I said in a quick tone, taking the jade pendant she handed me, which became heavier as the two jade pendants fused together. I tried my best to separate them, but Yu Pei didn't respond. Hey, is the jade pendant that my grandfather left me going to change hands? This is a relic left to me by my grandfather, and I am entangled in my heart.

A noisy phone ringing interrupted my train of thought, I took it out and saw that it was Zhou Shihao, "Hey, three guns, someone in Tsing Yi Town called me to let us over" Although I was through the phone, I could still hear Zhou Shihao's inner joy. "What are you holding back from your bad stomach, besides, Tsing Yi Town is so far away from us, what are you doing?" I softened. "Tsing Yi Town?" Bai Ruxue looked at me with a look of fear.

"I heard that there is something there that can cure your bat poison," Zhou Shihao was proud. "Okay, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village tomorrow" As soon as the sky was bright, I came to the entrance of the village to wait for Zhou Shihao, Bai Ruoxue was already standing there, and it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time. "Come on, come on," Zhou Shihao said as he ran, and the three of us embarked on the road to Tsing Yi Town.

Tsing Yi Town is an ancient town with a long history, located on the mountainside 300 kilometers away from our village, where it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one road up and down the mountain, few people go out of the town to communicate with people, and the villagers there are self-sufficient.

"Above is Tsing Yi Town" Zhou Shihao pointed to a residence halfway up the mountain, looking down the mountain, the town is not big, only dozens of families scattered by the stars, "Let's go, go up and see" I looked at Zhou Shihao and Bai Ruoxue left and right, Bai Ruoxue looked very frightened, and shook his head. "Let's go, it's okay with me" I looked at Bai Ruoxue gently, this woman looked very beautiful today, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. I reached out and grabbed her arm with my right hand and walked forward. At this time, Zhou Shihao followed behind.

In front of Tsing Yi Town, I saw a stone monument covered with moss erected on the side of the mountain road, which looked very old. It is engraved with three words in red letters: Tsing Yi Town. On the right hand side of the stele, there is a house gate that is open to the stele, and the door plaque is written in big characters on the stele, which is very eye-catching. On the left side of the pillar is written: Do not enter unless you are not in, and on the right side it is written: Do not approach the living. It looks very weird.

The villagers here, regardless of age, gender or gender, all wear Tsing Yi, which I suspect is how Tsing Yi Town got its name. When the villagers saw us, they looked up and down like aliens, and then an old man came from behind the crowd, his sideburns were white, and he walked to Bai Ruoxue's side with his hands crossed behind his back, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Xiaoxue, you're back." "I'm back, Uncle Xiang" Bai Ruoxue seemed to be very afraid, hiding behind me and nodded.

Uncle Xiang motioned for us to follow him, and Zhou Shihao, who was following behind, ran to my right hand, poked me with his finger, and then whispered, "The blood lotus here can cure the bat poison on your body", and led us into an ancient mansion where the furniture is neatly arranged, but it looks like it has been around for some years. "Uncle Xiang, have you ever heard of the Blood Lotus," I said with a hint of sincerity. Uncle Xiang's face was gloomy: "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it, I've heard that blood lotus flowers only grow in high places in gloomy and cold places." I saw that Uncle Xiang didn't want to reveal too much, so I didn't continue to ask. Since the blood lotus must be found, Zhou Shihao proposed to rest for a day first. Bai Ruoxue and I agreed.

In a daze, I saw the white dragon coiled on the beam of the house, I suddenly woke up, this is the third time I dreamed, I looked up at the beam, it was exactly the same as the beam in the dream, could it be that the white dragon in the dream was related to Tsing Yi Town? How could the old man know Bai Ruoxue? Is it so kind? The doubts in my heart are accumulating more and more.

At dawn, I was woken up by Bai Ruoxue, only to see her wearing a green dress, seeing that my face was full of doubts, she smiled at me, "What's so strange about this, I was originally a villager in Tsing Yi Town" Her tone was a little playful. "Since you are from Tsing Yi Town, you must know about the Blood Lotus, why don't you take me to find it?" Bai Ruoxue paused, thought for a while and finally spoke: "There is a cave at the top of the mountain, and there is a blood lotus growing in the cave, but that place is very evil, and there are evil things guarding it all the year round" It can be seen that she was a little afraid when she mentioned the cave.

"Can you take me to see" Under my begging, Bai Ruoxue finally mustered up the courage to nod. A group of three of us walked towards the cave, the mountain road became more and more rugged, due to the huge amount of activity, the wound began to bleed, and it seemed that it was about to reach the top of the mountain, suddenly Zhou Shihao slipped and fell on the vine with a scream, I reached out to help Zhou Shihao up, and continued to move forward, I felt a sound behind me, and suddenly turned back, only the tree vine, and smiled secretly in my heart, maybe I was too sensitive. But I didn't take a few steps and felt a voice behind me, it was still the same as before, just stop and walk, no, we have walked far away from the place where Zhou Shihao fell, why are there still tree vines? Could it be that they are following us all the time? No, the tree vines behind me will move, I exclaimed! The three of us quickened our pace. The vines came after us. For a while, I only felt that it was difficult to breathe, my abdomen was tight, and Zhou Shihao and I were entangled in the vines and held up in the air.

Bai Ruoxue took out the dagger and stabbed it at the tree vine, the tree vine that was pierced by the dagger was bleeding, the scene was extremely weird, Bai Ruoxue stabbed at the tree vine with a knife, maybe it could feel the pain, and it disappeared after throwing me and Zhou Shihao.

"The Blood Lotus grows in that hole, be careful when you go in, that thing will hallucinate, and the Blood Lotus can only be picked at the turn of night. Bai Ruoxue pointed to the cave in front of her, and she could see that she was a little afraid. Didn't she plan to go in? I looked in the direction of Bai Ruoxue's finger, the entrance to the cave was not big, and there were weeds growing next to it, and if I didn't look carefully, I couldn't find the entrance to the cave at all. "I'm waiting for you outside the cave," Bai Ruoxue said firmly. "Okay, I'll go in with Zhou Shihao" I carried a hint of loss.

"You follow me, leave me alone if there is a situation, and retreat," I turned my head slightly and said to Zhou Shihao behind me. The road is narrow, and there is an abyss below, Zhou Shihao and I are moving forward cautiously, there is sunlight ahead, and I guess the top of the cave should be in the open air. A gust of wind blew, making people shiver a little. I don't remember how far I walked, the front widened, an ancient tree went straight to the open hole where the sun shined, the leaves were crimson, as if stained with blood, and it was full of fruits similar to peppers, gloves, and other fruits, and there was a huge stone tablet next to the tree, which was engraved with a white dragon-shaped pattern, which looked lifelike, this pattern! There is light, looking at the light along the stone steps, a lotus flower is bright red in color, and from time to time it emits a dazzling red light, and the "blood lotus" Zhou Shihao exclaimed. I saw that the blood lotus was extremely large, as thick as an adult man's arms around it. As the petals opened, there was a burst of fragrance, "I saw Zhou Shihao's eyes brighten, holding a shotgun in his hand, he walked up to Bailong and fired a few shots, and then fired two more shots at himself, blood splashed everywhere for a while, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. "Three cannons, three cannons" I vaguely felt someone shouting at me, the voice became clearer and clearer, and with the sound of shouting, my mind became clearer and clearer. I saw that Zhou Shihao was very anxious, he was standing under me, it turned out to be an illusion, and before I knew it, I was already standing at the top of the stone steps, next to it was the blood lotus, it turned out to be an illusion, "Three cannons, what were you doing just now." "It should be an illusion," I shouted as I looked at Zhou Shihao below. Zhou Shihao pouted his hands, looking very helpless.

Whenever the petals open, a chill hits. "Three guns" I heard the shout, looked at Zhou Shihao, his face was solemn and pointed to himself, and then pointed to my position, signaling that I want to come up, I told him to be careful.

"Wow, this is the legendary Snow Lotus?" Zhou Shihao looked surprised. He was about to reach out and touch the Blood Lotus, but I stopped him. "Shihao, Bai Ruoxue said that the blood lotus can only be picked at the turn of night, not to mention that this thing can make people hallucinate, it's better to be careful" Zhou Shihao nodded again and again.

"Three cannons, how do you say this blood lotus is going to be picked?"

"It should be uprooted, right?"

"No, this thing is so big that it's just the two of us?"

"Give it a try"

I took out my mobile phone, seeing that the night was coming, but we were confused about how to pick this blood lotus. Just as we were confused, there was a loud bang, and a white dragon rose into the air, its body was vigorous, its claws were strong, its thin beard fluttered in the wind, and the dragon's eyes widened with a frown. Fly to the front to stay in the air. Zhou Shihao covered his mouth with his hands, for fear of screaming. Isn't this the white dragon of my dreams?

My mind suddenly went blank, and I stood in a calm mirror, in front of a handsome and dashing teenager, "I've been waiting for you for a long time,"

"Wait for me?"

"Yes, only the blood lotus can solve the bat venom"

"How did you know I had bat poison?"

"I've been to see you three times while you're asleep, and now it's time for the night, go and pluck the blood lotus and apply it to your wounds."

"That thing is huge, are you going to uproot me?"

After saying that, the boy was gone, and I went back to the cave. The white dragon has been circling, is it another illusion?

I trembled and stretched out my left hand to try to touch the blood lotus, "Three cannons, be careful", I turned my head to face Zhou Shihao, and raised my index finger to my mouth. When the petals opened, my left hand touched the stamen, and I felt a cold breath instantly swim through every inch of my body. Quickly plucked it, the blood lotus began to slowly wither and wither. The red light of the stamen was still dazzling, and when he placed it on the wound, the pain disappeared, and after a while, he handed it to Zhou Shihao, who was waiting anxiously. I don't know when the white dragon has long disappeared without a trace. I still have a lot of questions I haven't asked, I thought to myself.

"Have you got it" Bai Ruoxue looked anxious, "You guess" "You want to die in a hurry?" I smiled slightly, "I got it, my goddess." Bai Ruoxue stuck out her tongue at me.

"Let's not go back to Tsing Yi Town, let's go down the mountain directly" Bai Ruoxue looked at me with pleading eyes. "Why, by the way, you seem to be quite afraid of the old man," "I don't have to worry about my business," she said with a hint of anger in her words. "I'm in charge"

I picked up Bai Ruoxue and walked towards Uncle Xiang's residence. Uncle Xiang had already prepared the meal, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"The night tonight is so beautiful," Bai Ruoxue looked obsessed. "It's so beautiful," I echoed. She looked at the sky in fascination, and I quietly reached out my right hand, trying to hold her in my arms, and when it passed by her back, my hand suddenly shook and touched her back.

Bai Ruoxue reacted quickly, turned around and grabbed my right hand and broke it hard. "It hurts," I pleaded.

"No matter how hairy it is, I'll let Zhou Shihao stew you" 2

"He doesn't eat people"

Immediately afterwards, Bai Ruoxue threw a murderous look at me.

"Eat, eat, eat, I'll eat myself."

"Sit down, why are you so far away from me?"

"I'm not afraid you'll stew me."

"Are you afraid of me?"

"Just a little, negligible"

"Actually, you don't have to be afraid of me, sit down" Could it be that Bai Ruoxue is coquettish to me? Thinking of this, there was a hint of joy in my heart.

Someone, the voice was loud, and it instantly spread throughout this small town with only a few dozen households. Running at the door, my colleagues had a hint of discussion, Bai Ruoxue and I walked outside the door, and saw the hurried crowd running in the direction of Tsing Yi Village, "Go and see?" Bai Ruoxue looked at me with a hint of question. "Go"

There were dozens of people around the door of Tsing Yi Village, squeezing through the crowd, a black coffin was located in the center, and an old man sat on it, only to see the old man with white hair coiled up, slender eyebrows, white face, bleeding from seven holes, and his right hand clenched a piece of white paper with a jade pendant. The jade pendant that my grandfather left me before he died is very similar to the jade pendant in this painting. Could it be that this old man is the Taoist who gave me a jade pendant?

Fu Bo, Fu Bo Bai Ruoxue knelt on his knees, with tears in his eyes. Holding the corner of the old man's clothes with his right hand, he kept shaking. Jie Wai Shun put her hands on Bai Ruoxue's cheeks, trying to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She gave me a menacing look, and I changed my mind and slowly lowered my hands.

"What's going on?" said the voice with a hint of smugness. It was Uncle Xiang, I saw him put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards us. "It's all here." When he looked at Fu Bo, who was already sitting on the coffin, he was not surprised, let alone a trace of pain and sadness, could it be that he had known that Fu Bo would die? Could it be that Fu Bo's death was related to Uncle Xiang? My intuition told me that Uncle Xiang was very suspicious.

"Uncle Xiang, what are you doing when you came so late" My expression was slightly suspicious. Uncle Xiang seems to have seen through my heart. "I went to bed early. On the contrary, as soon as you arrive, a foreigner, you start to commit murders."

"Okay, don't talk about it, Yang Xi has been admiring the moon with me all night. Put Fu Bo down first," Bai Ruoxue's words dispelled everyone's doubts.

Fauber was placed on the mat on the ground. I unbuttoned his clothes, trying to find some clues, and I was amazed by the jade pendant tattooed on Fauber's chest. At this time, the jade pendant on Bai Ruoxue's back began to emit a strange red light, and they all said that Lingyu recognized the master, could it be that Fu Bo was its master?

"Ruoxue give me the jade pendant" took the jade pendant and put it on the pattern on Fu Bo's chest, and everyone exclaimed, the pattern and the jade pendant just matched. Every inch of the skin of Fu Bo's body began to turn white, and an ancient text gradually appeared on his body, which was probably: In the mountain behind Tsing Yi, there is a beast locked in it, called the nine-headed demon beast, eating your heart, and transforming into a human form. I pretended not to understand, "What is written in this ancient text of Uncle Xiang" "I, I don't understand the ancient text either" Uncle Xiang dodged his eyes.

Could it be that Fu Bo was killed by the nine-headed demon beast? But his body was intact and there were no wounds, could it be that he was murdered? With a hint of doubt, I decided to go to the back mountain at dawn to find out. I proposed that the body be placed in the coffin first, and that everyone take turns guarding it.

Although Houshan and Tsing Yi Town are only separated by one mountain, they are like two worlds. From a distance, the back mountain is covered with snow. I walked in the snow with the sound of snow being squeezed under my feet. As the height rose, it got cooler and colder, and I shivered from the cold. There was a bright flash in the snow in front of me, it was a shotgun, there was no rust, I slowly lowered my body to pick it up, maybe it was the will of heaven in the dark, the ancient scroll in my arms fell out, fluttering in the wind, I picked up the shotgun and ran towards the ancient scroll, suddenly my feet slipped, and I fell into the cave. It didn't look like it was very dark in the cave, it looked like the sun had just set, and the scroll was in front of me, and I staggered to my feet and bent down to pick it up. Keep going.

After walking for about a few dozen minutes, there was a light ahead, and I quickened my pace and walked towards the light. As soon as I got out of the cave, I saw a view in front of me, and there was no grass growing outside, as if someone was cleaning. Zhou Shihao sat quietly on the outer steps, "Shihao, why are you here?"

Zhou Shihao looked angry, "Bai Ruoxue told me"

"It's dangerous here, go back quickly"

"You kid dared to come alone knowing the danger, where did you get the shotgun?"

"I picked it up on the way here, and the monster here is likely to be Uncle Xiang."

"How do you know?"

"Have you forgotten? I opened the eye of the sky, and I could vaguely see a gas shrouded in Uncle Xiang's body, neither human nor ghost."

"Three cannons. Yours is the case."

"Caution is better"

Zhou Shihao and I walked down the stone steps to the Taoist temple, and the vermilion gate was closed. There is a stone lion on the left and right of the doorway, but each stone lion is chained and its eyes are covered with red cloth. I pushed open the door, "Is there anybody?" and there was no response.

"Shihao, be careful. "The inside of the temple was unusually quiet, only the sound of me and Zhou Shihao stepping on the snow. At first glance, you can see the house opposite, which looks a bit of a disrepair for years, broken and unbearable, the vermilion windows have been shattered, and across the back of the house is a forest. "What's that?"

Zhou Shihao's words were excited. I looked in the direction of Zhou Shihao's fingertips, and a huge footprint was imprinted on the snow. "It's very likely that these footprints were left by the nine-headed demon beast," I looked confident.

Zhou Shihao and I followed the footprints for about a few hundred steps, and there was a huge boulder, on which was wrapped an iron chain as thick as a fist, and the iron chain was very long and stretched into the distance.

At the end of the chain is a small river, in the middle of which bubbles erupt from time to time. Zhou Shihao and I tried to pull the chain with all our strength, but the chain did not move, and there was a sound like a snake crawling out of the ground, and one after another tree vines ran towards us, and strangely enough, there was a skeleton in front of each tree vine. I remembered the records in the ancient scrolls, this thing is a plant that came out of the shaman city a thousand years ago, this thing is highly poisonous, similar to a human form, the shaman city called it skull, we call it skull vine, skull and man-eating flower are different, scarlet mainly grows in cold places, roots are dozens of meters deep underground, feed on people and animals to obtain nutrients.

"Shihao hurry, jump into the water", I saw Zhou Shihao jump into the river like an arrow off the target. I followed closely, the river was not as cold as I imagined, and swam along the iron chain to the bottom of the river, and there was a broken iron chain in front of me, and I didn't see the nine-headed demon beast. Could it be that this demon beast has escaped? What about the people who guard the demon beast? A series of question marks have appeared in their hearts.
