Chapter 348: Treacherous Conflict
Back at the Hou Mansion, Li Xin already knew about it, and specially chose to wait for Li Yu's return at home.
He was waiting, and Li Yu gave a detailed account of his journey to the Qianlong Yuan this time.
In general, Li Yu had actually mentioned it in the letter, and arrived at home a few days earlier than himself.
But the details about Zhong Ke's fall into the devil and the loss of the idol are not enough to know clearly.
It also involves the secrets of the Longjiang Divine Giant Crocodile and Li Yu's own contamination with the treacherous idols, which is related to the future development.
Soon after, Li Yu went to Li Xin's study, and the father and son withdrew from each other and had a secret conversation.
Li Yu told him about the battle with the giant crocodile and the capture of the Yangmu Statue, and talked about the handling of Wu Feng.
He still completed this matter relatively neatly, and did not involve too many outsiders.
The Hou Mansion and Tiangangtang reached a tacit deal, which can be regarded as an exchange of needs, and they have a good exchange.
"There will be such a change......
Knowing the whole story, Li Xin also fell into deep thought.
At the moment, he was thinking more about the giant crocodile and the Yangmu God Statue.
Li Yu couldn't help asking, "Didn't Grandpa talk about this statue in detail back then?"
Li Xin shook his head slightly: "He didn't have time to say, in fact, he didn't hold this statue in his hand for too long when he got it, and he quickly stored it temporarily and sealed it.
There are not many opportunities for an alien of his status to obtain a strange treasure, and it is impossible to figure out every single one."
Li Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized that he had made a mistake that he had taken for granted.
If you have the Eye of the Truth, you may not be able to know all the information of a treasure, let alone those who do not have the Eye of the Truth?
Most of the exotic treasures are actually chaotic and unknown to the Inhumans, and they really don't have the time, energy, and capital to figure it out.
"I've now been contaminated with the treachery of the Yangmu Divine Statue, and I can be regarded as controlling it in disguise, but the body of this strange treasure is a bit strange, and the spiritual will contained in it is too powerful, as long as there is contact, it will imperceptibly influence......
Li Yu thought about it and told Li Xin what he had seen and known.
"So, that giant crocodile didn't directly control the Yangmu Divine Statue, but just swallowed it into its belly by chance, so that it has an extraordinary vitality?"
"Now that I think about it, it is."
"Then it's no wonder."
"Actually, I thought about it carefully, and I think that the reason why Zhong Ke fell into the devil may be related to that idol.
He must have also touched the idol directly with the palm of his hand at that time, and was contaminated with some of the treacherous power.
Eventually, though, he was able to break free from the illusion, but the pollution was already there.
The power of this idol is truly staggering, and it is not surprising that just holding and touching it can give the giant crocodile an abnormal growth form, and it is not surprising that the impact on smaller humans is even greater."
"There is some truth in what you said, it seems that you should indeed be cautious and avoid direct contact as much as possible."
Li Xin nodded, agreeing with Li Yu's guess. ….
This thing is indeed much more dangerous than expected.
After leaving Li Xin's place, Li Yu returned to his eastern courtyard, where a group of maidservants and Huang Ying were waiting, and they were full of joy when they saw him, and they all gathered around to ask for warmth.
Li Yu bathed and changed clothes, lay comfortably on the rocking chair, enjoyed the service of feeding melons and fruits, and asked about the abnormal changes in the treacherous power of Huang Ying and Ruyue by the way.
[Stable operation for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, old bookworms are using.]
Enough to last for three and a half years without collapsing.
This kind of alien depends on maintenance, and the better the maintenance, the longer it will live.
Compared to himself, who needs to fight often and use treacherous abilities, it is much easier.
However, in comparison, such an Inhuman has extremely limited development of his own abilities, and basically has no chance of becoming a real powerhouse.
When it really deteriorates and wants to solve it, you often need to rely on organizational forces or really strong people like yourself.
Sometimes, good means bondage, and hardship also means opportunity.
What kind of path should be chosen, it is really not enough to say it in one word.
Li Yu didn't know what it was like to feel for a while, but compared to this kind of life, he still liked to be in control more.
……
That night, Li Yu spent the night in the yellow warbler's room, and after a little farewell to the newlywed, he fell asleep.
For a period of time, he had almost always relied on the curse of greed brought about by the golden bottle of fine wine.
Although this power is a curse, in a sense, it also gives him a strong energy that never sleeps, and he has been awake for more than half a month, and he will not fall into weakness.
And Li Yu has gradually become accustomed to this state and has long been accustomed to it.
It wasn't until I went home that I was in the warm tent of the gentle spring night that I really relaxed and rested.
But in his sleep, Li Yu seemed to feel a strange itch attacking.
In the darkness, a hideous monster with a sheep's body and a human face and tiger teeth seemed to appear on his right hand, glowing with blood all over his body, and was gnawing at his arm.
It seems to have a brutal demonic aura, but it makes people feel that the whole soul is like ice, and even the thoughts seem to have come to a standstill.
In this inexplicable sleep, Li Yu's thoughts were very sluggish, and he could hardly fight against it.
But for some reason, the monster was gnawing, and suddenly it touched the wooden nail nailed to its arm, as if it was choked, and showed a painful look.
It wailed, opening its monstrous jaws full of teeth.
Li Yu glanced at it, and suddenly found that it was covered with residue like sawdust, and every piece of flesh and blood that he had eaten before was actually transformed by yang wood, and the terrifying bite force of the monster tearing the tiger and leopard could not shake it in the slightest, but was stabbed by it.
The tiny wounds began to grow sprouts of sprout-like roots, and the mouths of scars morphed into worms that struggled and writhed like earthworms, and then grew under the gaze of the monster, filling the monster's mouth.
In a few moments, a large number of tendrils filled between the teeth, blocking almost the entire mouth of the monster.
The monster roared, crushing the whiskers and swallowing them down.
But after a while, new roots began to grow at the corners of the mouth and face, and they continued to grow at an alarming rate.
Li Yu frowned and looked at all this, feeling as if his arm had been completely numb and no longer belonged to him.
Don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods
