Chapter 241: Cooperation
Seeing that An Xin and Li Yuanhao were told by their own words, they didn't say anything for a long time. Xiong Chong sneered and continued: "Don't tell lies in front of real people, when the snow is closing the mountain, except for those poachers who want money and don't want their lives, who else has burned out their brains and ran into the deep mountains where birds don't." Moreover, your purpose is very clear, and you have come straight to our valley, without any detours. In addition, it is not surprising that you just saw the gold ingot in the hand of that short-lived ghost, as long as you have a little brain, you will know what your purpose is. β
An Xin and Li Yuanhao felt a little embarrassed, they thought that they had done a good job of secrecy, and everything was under their control. But they didn't expect that Jiang was still old and spicy, and from the first day they entered Changbai Mountain, Xiong Chong guessed the whereabouts and purpose of their trip.
After the embarrassment, Li Yuanhao still asked cheekily: "What other monsters are there in this hot spring pool?" β
Through Xiong Chong's narration, coupled with some of Li Yuanhao's own understanding and speculation, he also knew most of the secrets of this hot spring. It is estimated that 300 years ago, this hot spring pool was just an ordinary waterhole with a moderate temperature, and inside the waterhole, there is a hidden cave.
It is estimated that most of the origin of this property is also disgraceful, so the owner of the property at that time, that is, the feudal official who had been the governor of Liangguang for many years, when he was powerful, chose this place in his hometown that seemed to be very safe and hidden at that time, and buried this batch of property, as a way to return to his hometown in the future.
But I didn't expect that it wouldn't be long. The dormant volcano of Changbai Mountain has a big eruption. Raw put that waterhole at the right temperature. It became extremely hot. As long as you go down, you will be scalded in the hot spring pool. In the cave where the treasures were originally stored, the terrain has also changed dramatically, so those gold ingots will appear in the hot spring pool.
And the governor of Liangguang died violently before he could survive until he returned to his hometown, so although this secret was hidden in the 'Golden Hair Tower', it was not known to the descendants of the governor. It wasn't until 300 years later that this 'Golden Hair Tower' passed into An Xin's hands. The secret of the tower was revealed.
This hot spring pool is formed by a volcanic eruption, so the spiritual power contained in it is also particularly abundant, in this place with abundant spiritual power and no one else, of course, it is easy to give birth to some heavenly spirit monsters. What Xiaoya and Xiong Chong saw was a giant python with a layer of hard red scale armor and flames. There is also a group of green fish in the hot spring pool, which can grow to weigh five or six pounds at the largest, with a face that resembles a human face, and a mouth full of fangs and a fierce appearance. The body is weird, like a clock.
Don't look at this ugly fish, but it's a delicacy for this fire-breathing red python. Back then, the little girl who only had five sui was playing by the hot spring pool alone. I accidentally saw the ingots in the pool. Curious, she was lying on the edge of the pool and looking inside, when the fire-breathing red python just swam in front of her, and when she saw a little girl lying on the water's edge, he dragged her into the pool.
After the bear rushed back, he was saddened, he had thought of countless ways to destroy this fire-breathing red python to avenge the little girl, but the fire-breathing red python had been in this hot spring pool for hundreds of years, and it was already quite smart, coupled with its fiery red scale armor, it was extremely hard, and it was incomparably hard. So after so many years, Xiong Chong has fought with it countless times, but no one can help anyone. But in the end, it is an old opponent, in so many years of fighting, Xiong Chong has gradually mastered some of the weaknesses of the fire-breathing red python, and he is waiting for the last chance to eliminate it, so as to avenge Xiaoya.
After listening to Xiong Chong's mythical narration, Li Yuanhao asked curiously, "Didn't you think about salvaging those treasures?" β
Who knew that Xiong Chong just rolled his eyes strangely, and said angrily: "What do I want that gold for?" I can't eat it, I can't drink it, and I still feel panicked when I hold it in my arms. My only wish now is to skin that fire-breathing python and avenge my little girl. Also, let my little girl have a home, and don't disappear after I die. As for the rest, I don't want anything. β
Li Yuanhao didn't believe Xiong Chong's words at all, he said without hesitation: "But as far as I know, there have been many cases involving the Thousand Gu Sect in the past few years, and it is said that your disciples have been instructed by you, and in order to seize some rare treasures outside, they have indiscriminately practiced Gu magic to harm people's lives, how can you explain this?" β
Xiong Chong slowly straightened his back, his eyes emitting a fine light, as cold and hard as glass slag. He looked at Li Yuanhao and said stubbornly, "I, Xiong Chong, do things, and I never explain it to others." I'm going to talk to you now about cooperation, not to be questioned by you here. At this time, Xiong Chong was still like an old man in his last years, and what he exuded was the amazing momentum and domineering that he had as the head of a faction.
Li Yuanhao immediately realized that he had committed an occupational disease as a police officer, and he inadvertently examined Xiong Chong as a criminal suspect. But this time was not the time to settle those old accounts with Xiong Chong, he immediately said sincerely: "Master Xiongmen, I lost my words just now, can you tell me your plans now?" β
In fact, Xiong Chong's plan was expected by Li Yuanhao, he wanted to join forces with Li Yuanhao and An Xin to destroy the fire-breathing red python first and avenge Xiaoya. Then he asked An Xin and Li Yuanhao to continue to worship Xiaoya's soul after his death, and then continue Xiong Chong's unfinished task, which is to help her find a suitable furnace and let her be reborn. In exchange, Xiong Chong will help them bring out the treasures in the hot spring pool, as a reward for An Xin and Li Yuanhao for taking care of Xiaoya.
Li Yuanhao did not directly agree to Xiong Chong's proposal, he asked suspiciously: "You have been fighting with that fire-breathing red python for so many years and have not been able to destroy it, why do you think that the three of us can destroy it together?" β
Xiong Chong explained: "Because I found that it has to shed its skin every ten years, although its scale armor is extremely hard, and it is not able to use knives and guns, but on the day it sheds its skin, because the old skin has just been shed, and the new skin has not yet grown, the fire-breathing red python at that time is like a newborn baby, without any defense." Only then can we destroy it. And tomorrow is the day when the fire-breathing red python sheds its skin once in ten years, and it is our best chance to wait for the opportunity to destroy it. β
"It can't be that simple, right?" Although Xiong Chong said it easily, Li Yuanhao obviously didn't believe it.
"Look at this one of mine again." Xiong Chong recited the incantation in the Miao dialect that An Xin and Li Yuanhao couldn't understand, and his speech was so fast that he only saw his deflated mouth, squirming rapidly, and a large string of incantations that they couldn't understand was thrown out.
As he spoke faster and faster, An Xin felt that the temperature in the bamboo building was gradually getting lower, and a few whirlwinds blew inexplicably in the room, and there seemed to be a few more whining cries in the air.
The little silver wolf also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and it screamed vigorously at the whirlwind blowing on the flat ground. But An Xin could see that it was just bluffing, and it seemed that even the little silver wolf was afraid of the ghosts that were about to appear.
After a while, it was already as cold as an ice cellar, and the fog on the windows was integrated into the room of the ice flowers, and there were a few more dark shadows. An Xin's eyes widened, watching the black shadows slowly show their shape in the air. They all had a miserable white face, their eyes were pure white, their faces were bruised and twisted, and their mouths were full of sharp fangs.
Li Yuanhao exclaimed: "Five ghost handling techniques." An Xin counted carefully, but it wasn't exactly five ghosts.
Xiong Chong smiled strangely and said, "The young man is good, he knows the goods!" That's right, these five ghosts belonging to the genus xing are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and I spent many years collecting them, just to cultivate these 'five ghost carrying techniques'. With them, there is no fear that the treasures in the hot spring pool will not come out. β
"It seems that the bear gate master has put a lot of thought into the treasure in this pool!" Li Yuanhao looked at the five ghosts full of resentment in front of him and muttered.
Xiong Chong pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Li Yuanhao's words, and he said proudly: "It took me a lot of effort to cultivate this 'Five Ghost Handling Technique', and now I expect them to play a role at a critical time." β
Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, this sentence doesn't seem to work here in Xiong Chong, Li Yuanhao has nothing to say about Xiong Chong's shameless behavior. He used to look like a kind old man who thought about everything for his granddaughter, and he kept saying that everything he did was just that he didn't want Xiaoya to end up with a soul and ashes. However, the five ghosts who were cultivated by him in the 'Five Ghost Handling Technique' ended up falling to the point of being scattered. Only then did Li Yuanhao realize that as the master said, people who practice Gu art have been eroded by poison for a long time, and later, they will gradually become selfish, vicious and cruel, and treat human life like a mustard. Can such a person cooperate? An Xin and Li Yuanhao's hearts couldn't help but hesitate.
Seeing that An Xin and Li Yuanhao didn't say anything for a long time, Xiong Chong said impatiently; "I said, have you two thought it through, and are you willing to cooperate with me? Tomorrow is a once-in-a-decade opportunity, and if I miss it, I will have to wait another ten years, and I don't have a chance to wait any longer. If I can't get revenge, you won't get the treasure either. After saying this, he once again began to cough violently.
Seeing Xiong Chong's depressed, sluggish, and aging appearance, An Xin, who was originally a little hesitant, made up her mind, and she quietly said to Li Yuanhao: "Promise him, and then we will take one step at a time." "To be continued...... 861
