Chapter 34: The Devil's Cave Dried Corpse
Hong'en Temple Pagoda.
The long knot sword finger waved obliquely, the glow gushed, a blue rune suddenly formed, waved his palm, and slapped towards the Xuan Tower, the blue rune turned sharply, and turned into an upside-down blue octagonal tower, which was also four floors, and the appearance was similar to the Xuan Tower.
"Bang", like waves crashing on the rocks, the two towers collided together, disappeared at the same time in an instant, "jingle bell", dozens of copper coins fell like raindrops, all fell on the Qinglian pedestal.
The long knot stepped forward quickly, and the sword pointed at the lotus void and tapped, the rosette trembled, and the floating ash was scattered, and some small stone cracks appeared on it, the size of which was like a copper coin. The long knot picked up a copper coin and put it in the crack of the stone, just the right size.
"Old thing, it's all a kid's trick!"
……
Eight years ago.
Zhao Laodao took Zhao Xinyi, who was still a child, and the old yellow dog, who was very old at the time, to Hong'en Temple, saying that he wanted to bring the latter to enjoy a few days of Qingfu.
Zhao Xinyi frowned, and said uncertainly: "Master, this is a Buddhist temple, not a Taoist temple, even if it is a Taoist temple, we have been swept out of the house several times, this temple will really let us borrow it?" ”
"That's nature!" Zhao Laodao was very determined, "Wait a while and learn well!" As he spoke, he strode forward, and as soon as he entered the temple gate, he was blocked by two sweeping monks.
Zhao Laodao pretended to be pretending, saying that he was chasing a fox demon all the way, and saw that the fox demon had escaped into the temple and needed to enter the temple to arrest him. A monk didn't say a word, raised a broom and hit, and the old Taoist priest fled in embarrassment.
"Sure enough, it's like that again!" Zhao Xinyi secretly congratulated himself that he didn't listen to the old man's words and hid far enough.
The old yellow dog wagged his tail secretly, his eyes were shining, and he looked extremely happy.
"Let's go!" The old Taoist priest smiled embarrassedly, waved his hand and took Zhao Xinyi and Lao Huang around the back mountain, and gave Zhao Xinyi a few bamboo tubes, saying that they were filled with chicken blood, and let Zhao Xinyi enter from the back of the temple over the wall, and splashed the chicken blood in conspicuous places everywhere.
Zhao Xin refused to live or die, Zhao Laodao threatened, saying that if he didn't go, he would no longer teach him to cultivate immortals, he gritted his teeth, and after a war between heaven and man, he finally compromised and complied. Climbing over the wall, he fearfully spilled chicken blood into several monks' rooms, and scribbled to make a mess.
In the evening, Zhao Lao Dao took Zhao Xinyi and the old yellow dog to appear in front of the temple again, and the monk who showed his broom skills during the day stood in front of the door, and when he saw the old Taoist, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, as if he had seen a Bodhisattva. First apologized, then booed, and finally politely welcomed the old Taoist priest in and asked the old Taoist priest to open the altar. The latter pretended to be a fox demon with high mana, and he needed to do it for seven days in a row. Where did the monks dare to slack off, and served with good food and drink for seven days.
During the period, the old Taoist priest took Zhao Xinyi around the temple, the old Taoist priest felt that the pagoda in the temple was very magnificent, so he wanted to take Zhao Xinyi in to take a look, but was stopped by the monk who guarded the door.
Zhao Laodao felt that he couldn't get up and down, so he took advantage of the change of shifts of the monks guarding the tower and sneaked into the pagoda with Zhao Xinyi. The master and apprentice climbed the stairs, and there were some old objects in the Buddhist temple, such as broken wooden fish, broken robes, and broken futons, all of which were worthless objects, and the master and apprentice were disgusted. Until the third floor, the two saw the locked wooden box and thought it was a treasure, but their eyes were green.
The old Taoist priest hurriedly took out a thin piece of iron from his arms, used his skills, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed the iron general on the box open. However, the contents made the two stunned and disappointed, and they couldn't help but scold.
The old Taoist priest was even more angry and kicked the blue lotus stone seat, because of the excessive force, his feet hurt, and he couldn't help but gasp. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, I sprinkled old urine on the wooden box, I was especially disgusted, and I took out a talisman pen from my arms, grinded some ink, and began to leave a book: "Stinky monk, don't let your Taoist master climb the tower......"
Zhao Xinyi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he looked at his master's mischief and child-like revenge, feeling that he was more like an adult than this old man. Turned around, returned to the edge of the stone seat, inadvertently, saw a little strange brilliance on a stone lotus petal, curiously touched it, but it was different from the stone, pulled the cuffs and rubbed it, the dust dispersed, it was like a copper coin, pinched the edge and pulled it hard, sure enough, it was a copper coin, happy eyebrows, peeked at the old Taoist, the latter was also busy leaving words, and quickly searched again quietly.
The blue lotus inlaid copper coin is the tradition of Hong'en Temple, called "Zhenku", which is said to have the function of exorcising evil spirits.
After Zhao Xinyi's careful search, the copper coins were more and more searched, and after a while, he found seven or eight, when he was muffled and made a "big fortune", a thief smiled old face suddenly appeared in front of him, it was Zhao Laodao, the latter pulled his ear, scolded, nothing more than that Zhao Xinyi did not talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes, deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, wanted to eat alone, crackled, the bamboo tube poured beans, at least seven or eight cylinders.
Zhao Xin had no choice but to share the spoils with the old Taoist.
The two searched for a long time, and made sure that there were no more copper coins, so they left in a huff, Zhao Xinyi went down to the tower first, and the old Taoist priest glanced back before going down the tower, and said casually: "Apprentice, maybe you will come here again in the future!" ”
Zhao Xin snorted and said negatively: "I won't!" Obviously, he was still dissatisfied with the old Taoist priest for sharing his copper coins.
"Really?" Zhao Laodao put away his smile and looked serious, "Then say it, don't come back in the future!" ”
Zhao Xinyi was a little more angry, "Whoever comes is a puppy!" ”
Zhao Laodao smiled slightly, spread the palm behind him, and a mysterious light flew out of his palm, and more than a dozen copper coins immediately burst out of his sleeve robe, spun in mid-air, and all disappeared.
……
Qianbei courtyard dry well.
The Xuan Pagoda shrank smaller and smaller, and the fierce wind blew Zhao Xin's face painfully, but he didn't blink, looking nervously at the four golden tigers for the last time.
"Boom ......"
The Golden Tiger tried his best, but to no avail.
At the moment of life and death, Zhao Xinyi turned to Gao Shanhan again, but the latter still did not respond at all.
The Xuanta spiraled faster and faster, shrinking sharply, Zhao Xinyi and Jin Hu had no place to stand, although Zhao Xinyi was unwilling, but he had no choice but to close his eyes and wait for death. At the moment when his eyes were about to close, he caught a glimpse of the three-story Xuan Pagoda suddenly flying towards him, receiving the size of a palm, and falling into the palm of his left palm, which was where the blood talisman he drew was located, and the lines of the blood talisman complemented each other, and the two colors of Xuan and red were mixed, and they disappeared at the same time after three or four snaps of their fingers.
Zhao Xin looked at his left palm in a daze, with a look of disbelief.
……
In the infinite darkness.
Gao Shanhan let out a soft exhale, "Huh? Gazing fixedly, his eyes saw through the boundless darkness, only to see that when the Xuanta talisman contracted, the Tianxuanzhu in Zhao Xinyi's body bloomed with a trace of green, and the Xuanta talisman immediately disappeared into Zhao Xinyi's body and disappeared without a trace.
"Where did you go? Why is it that just a three-story pagoda talisman makes me feel inexplicably palpitating? "The mountains and the cold searched everywhere.
"Whew......"
An angry and restless beast roar rang from the depths of the darkness.
Gao Shanhan turned his head and smiled: "Old man, I disturbed your good dreams, you can bear with it a little longer!" ”
……
In the dry well.
The four-headed golden tiger gasped heavily, both tired and happy for the rest of his life, mixed together, and became a sentence, "You fucking damn like a thief!" ”
Before the words fell, the stone slab on the wall of the well fell to the ground with a "bang", revealing a golden rune behind the board, Zhao Xinyi was about to look closely, the rune flashed and then disappeared, and the wall of the well revealed a dark hole.
Zhao Xin looked at him in disbelief, and was hesitating, Lao Huang couldn't wait to urge, "You fucking go inside!" It took so much effort to break the ban on the old thief, can you still go home like this? ”
Zhao Xinyi took out a fire fold from his arms, blew the fire, stretched out his arm and shone it inward, the bean-sized flame tried his best, the halo was less than a foot, and he still couldn't see anything. Lao Huang's four heads rolled their eyes at the same time, and opened their mouths to spew out four fires, and the big flames condensed but did not disperse, floating into the cave.
The scene in the cave became clear, and the entrance was a long and narrow passage, with neat bluestone slabs embedded on all sides, and there was a faint smell of blood, which did not seem to be dangerous. Zhao Xinyi walked into the stone road under the urging of Lao Huang, and when he got closer, he found that all the stone slabs were carved with stone paintings, either for skeletons and ghosts, or for demons and beasts, all of them were dark red.
Lao Huang was calm and swaggering, without the slightest discomfort. Zhao Xinyi was a little scared, deliberately slowed down and followed behind Lao Huang. After walking more than a dozen steps, at the end of the stone road, there is a T-shaped intersection, and there is a stone road on each side, which looks exactly the same.
"Which way shall we go?" Lao Huang's two heads looked to the left, and the two heads looked to the right.
Zhao Xinyi took a closer look, his face was happy, and he said: "The floor on the right is a little worn, but the floor on the left is not scratched, and one of them is a trap." ”
"Then go to the right!" Lao Huang turned around and was about to go to the right.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Xinyi hurriedly called out to him, "Master often says that the people in the Demon Sect are cunning and vicious, and they have always been unreasonable, and if they don't get it, it's their old Ecstasy Array!" With that, he crouched down and looked at it carefully, "Sure enough!" Pointing to the slate on the right side, "Look, the part of this slate against the wall also has wear marks, which is obviously an old slate, so it's just a maze!" With a smug face, "How can they hide this trick from me!" ”
Lao Huang looked at it, thought deeply, and scolded with a smile: "You kid still has some skills!" As he spoke, he took the lead and walked to the left. When the lion walked to the center of the stone road alone, Lao Huang's eight ears trembled at the same time, and he hurriedly retreated.
At this moment, all the stone carvings in the stone path on the left were "alive", the beasts opened their fangs, the ghosts spewed demon fire, and the skeletons spit demon wind, like purgatory.
Thanks to Lao Huang's swift figure, at a critical moment, lightning flashed into the stone path on the right, and he narrowly escaped a catastrophe.
Lao Huang shook Zhao Xin to the ground, and said angrily: "Didn't you fucking head the Tao just now?" Didn't you say something about the old slate? The four blood basins spat wildly, like a fountain, "Didn't you say that the Demon Sect was maze?" ”
Zhao Xinyi scratched his head, cheeky, and said with a smile: "Miss, miss, everyone will miss, it's a common thing, it's a common thing, it......'s a common thing."
"You really have the true inheritance of that thief!" Lao Huang scolded and walked in angrily.
Four flames lead the way in front, a man and a tiger continue to move forward, walk dozens of steps, suddenly open up, is a huge square stone room, depth and width of the face are seven or eight, even if there are four flames floating in it, the stone room still seems a little dim. Zhao Xinyi secretly estimated that the location of this stone room should be in the east garden of Qianbei Courtyard, looking inside, you can vaguely see a total of sixteen stone pillars standing in the stone room, equal width and equal distance, in the middle is a square altar, revealing a gloomy energy.
Lao Huang spat out a few flames again, distributed all over the stone room, illuminating the entire stone room as if it were daylight.
Zhao Xin inadvertently saw a dried corpse on a stone pillar, with ragged clothes, dark body, and a very hideous face. I couldn't help but be startled, and in a blink of an eye, I found that there was a dried corpse leaning on each stone pillar, and the horror increased even more, and I subconsciously took a step back.
"It's just some demon cult disciples who cultivate evil methods, the demon poison penetrates the body, and the body dies without rotting, and a few dried corpses will scare you like this!" Lao Huang snorted coldly, his tone was disdainful, and he swaggered in, "What a waste!" ”
"Crooked ways!" Zhao Xinyi couldn't help but scold, "It's just self-destruction!" ”
"You yellow-haired boy knows a fart! I've never heard of a kid named Zombie Five! "Bah, forgive you kid doesn't know, in order to avenge his wife's revenge, the kid in Zombie Wu cultivated magic skills, self-refining zombies, in just half a year, his cultivation increased greatly, and he jumped directly from the third layer of the foundation building period to the Yuan infant stage, and his body was strong and almost immortal. easily destroyed the enemy's family, and also turned his negative wife into a zombie! Entered the 'Blood Ding Sect', Xuan He was famous for a while! ”
Zhao Xinyi rolled his eyes to show resistance, slowly adjusted his breathing, followed with steps, looked down at the ground, and saw that the ground was covered with sword marks, deep and shallow, dense, like spider webs, his eyes moved horizontally, and there were sword marks on the stone walls, even on the roof, obviously there was a fierce fight here at that time, and he said: "Could it be the old man's handwriting?" ”
"Boy, look at the east wall." Lao Huang reminded him.
Zhao Xin looked over and saw a half-open stone door on the east wall, and nothing could be seen in the dark. Lao Huang showed a wicked smile, opened his mouth and spat out a ball of flames, smashed the stone door and flew in, and the stone room suddenly became very bright. Zhao Xin must have looked at it, only to see that there were human skeletons everywhere inside, and he was suddenly shocked, and in a panic, he saw that there were many such stone gates around, all of them were eerie and terrifying, and the scene inside was also average. I felt a cold wind blowing directly on my backbone, my legs were weak, and I stumbled and almost fell, and out of instinct, I reached out to support a stone pillar, and my hand was cold, and there was a touch of some bad cloth. Slowly turned his head sideways, and what he touched was the thigh of a dried corpse.
"Ah......" was both frightened and disgusting, and he stopped in a hurry.
"Quack ......," the old yellow monster laughed.
At the same time, a low beast roar suddenly sounded in the stone room, and the temperature of the entire stone room plummeted in an instant, and the white gas filled the air, and it was cold winter in an instant.
"What's going on?"
