Chapter 149: Millennial Vine Demon
"Hahaha!" Suddenly, a strange laughter came from the bottom of the pool, the laughter came from far and near, and after a while, it resounded through the Ten Thousand Waterfalls Cave, and at the same time, the Xuanteng in the sky grew wildly, rushing towards Yan Mingxiu.
"Hahaha!" At the bottom of the pond there was another strange laugh and an arrogant curse: "Stupid mortal, vent the sorrow in your heart to your heart, and come and nourish me well!" ”
Just as Xuanteng was about to devour Yan Mingxiu, Wen Jinyan jumped down directly from the dark steps at a high place, and shouted loudly: "Senior Yan, don't get lost, that thousand-year-old vine demon is the most gratifying sorrow!" ”
Wen Jinyan's words were gone, and he had already held up the Sun and Moon Qiankun umbrella to cover Yan Mingxiu in it, and the Xuanteng touched the umbrella surface like a fire, and all of them quickly retracted the vines, and then quickly attacked the feet of the two people.
"Go!" Zhao Ling'er wore a light veil on her face, wrapped the cloak on her body tightly, and sprinkled yellow medicinal powder under the feet of the two with a wave of her arm, and the crazy Xuanteng actually retreated to the edge of the pool.
Wen Jinyan helped Yan Mingxiu to rest on the dark steps, and Zhao Ling'er sprinkled the yellow medicine powder around again, and then came to the two of them with peace of mind.
At this time, Yan Mingxiu had already regained his senses, and he was still careless in the face of the Thousand-Faced Vine Demon, and he didn't know when he was hit, could it be that he had already entered the illusion on the dark steps?
He shook his head heavily, looked at the two "life-saving benefactors" in front of him, and apologized embarrassedly: "Thank you two for making a move, I have offended a lot before." ”
Wen Jinyan shook his head lightly to show forgiveness, but was about to talk, but was preempted by Zhao Ling'er: "Hmph! This girl saved Brother Wen, don't get me wrong! ”
"Hehe, Miss Zhao is really frank!" Yan Mingxiu smiled weakly, he had indeed gone too far by snatching Wen Jinyan's Spirit Avoidance Bead before, and it was normal for Zhao Ling'er to be hated.
"I don't dare to be frank, I'm very narrow-minded! I will be grateful for the kindness of others to me for a lifetime, and if they treat me badly, I will remember it for a lifetime! For example, Fang Cai ......" Zhao Ling'er blushed, and was about to say unforgiving words, but was hurriedly stopped by Wen Jinyan.
"Miss Zhao, don't say that, Senior Yan is also afraid that you and I will be in danger, so don't be so rude." Wen Jinyan, who is usually gentle and elegant, said that his tone was a little tough this time, and Zhao Ling'er had to shut up obediently.
The corners of Yan Mingxiu's mouth were slightly raised, a little happy, the two of them persuaded him, he saw the change in the relationship between the two, and began to guess that something must have happened to him when he left the two suddenly, it seems that the feelings of men and women will really warm up a lot.
"Ahem!" Wen Jinyan coughed lightly embarrassedly, the doctor often observes the patient, Yan Mingxiu's thoughts are written on his face, he can see it through at a glance, and he will naturally be embarrassed.
Yan Mingxiu beckoned to Wen Jinyan and signaled to come closer. Then he covered it with his sleeve, spit out the spirit avoidance bead in his mouth, turned sideways and handed it to Wen Jinyan, who was approaching. At the moment when the spirit bead was handed to Wen Jinyan's hand, he whispered in his ear: "You kid can!" ”
"Senior Yan......" Wen Jinyan smiled helplessly, Zhao Ling'er was a distinguished guest in the Soul Valley, he only regarded Zhao Ling'er as his sister, and he didn't dare to think anything wrong. Yan Mingxiu's words slightly aroused his mortal heart, which had been as calm as water for many years, and a seed called "Spring Heart" was quietly planted.
"Don't be in a daze, get down to business." Yan Mingxiu's pace of doing things is very fast, since the things he "borrowed" have been returned, and the things that make him bored have also been done, the next thing is to deal with the vine demon.
"Let me ask you, you said before that the vine demon was on the edge of the pool, why did you run to the bottom of the pool now?" Yan Mingxiu didn't understand that the vine demon was obviously on the edge of the pool, how could he recruit in the pool, could it be that there was something else in the pool?
Wen Jinyan asked Yan Mingxiu about the trick, and the stone wall of the dark step was also covered with a large number of Xuan vines, so he roughly understood the mystery.
Wen Jinyan guessed that Yan Mingxiu had already been tricked when he was in the dark step, but he didn't notice it, and he and Zhao Ling'er were unharmed, thanks to the realgar powder from the Xuanji Pharmacy.
I didn't expect this annoying Xuanteng to be afraid of the little realgar powder, if they had known this, they would not have been helpless against it, and let it grow crazy for decades.
But this is just Wen Jinyan's speculation after all, without any basis, it is not good to say it to Yan Mingxiu, as for why the vine demon ran to the bottom of the pool, he can explain it reasonably.
Wen Jinyan put the Spirit Avoidance Bead into the storage bag with his backhand, and explained to Yan Mingxiu: "I don't know how to explain the matter of the Youtan Illusion for a while, but one thing is certain. When I entered the Ten Thousand Waterfalls Cave with the disciples of the Ghost Doctor Mound, I was indeed attacked by the vine demon by the edge of the pool.
The root system of this climbing plant is unusually developed, and the rhizome is slender and cannot stand upright, and it is usually a climbing that clings to other things and stretches upward; If there is nothing else to cling to, it will crawl or hang and grow.
It's been five or six years since we last entered the cave, and it's no surprise that the vine demon's body has changed its growth position during this time. ”
"Indeed, Wen Xiaoyou is worthy of being the first disciple of the Lord of the Time Valley!" Yan Mingxiu suddenly nodded his head again and again, and he smiled and patted Wen Jinyan's shoulder to show his gratitude and encouragement.
Wen Jinyan explained clearly and clearly, and the doubts in Yan Mingxiu's heart were completely gone, since he was sure that the bottom of the pool was the thousand-year-old vine demon, he had nothing to worry about.
Zhao Ling'er, who was not far away, saw that the two of them had been whispering for a long time, talking and laughing, and suddenly became angry, cursing Yan Mingxiu in his heart, and once again felt sorry for Wen Jinyan's tolerance and kindness.
Yan Mingxiu's state eased a lot, and he began to study those crazy dragon vines, he picked up a stone and dipped it in some medicinal powder on the ground, and threw it at the dragon vines on the stone wall.
The vines emitted a strong rancid smell, sensing the approaching of things, and quickly gathered again, but as soon as they touched the powder, they instantly shrank back like fire.
Wen Jinyan hurriedly reminded him: "Senior Yan, be careful, there is poison on the Xuanteng!" ”
"Poisonous? Haha, with you and Miss Zhao here, it is not easy to detoxify! Yan Mingxiu replied casually, but the movements in his hands still became more cautious.
Zhao Ling'er rolled her eyes disdainfully, and said impatiently: "They are afraid of realgar, but they can't use this to detoxify." If you get poisoned, I can't heal you. ”
"Miss Zhao, can you give me some of your powder?" Wen Jinyan saw Zhao Ling'er's displeasure, and took her arm as he spoke, taking her to the other side.
"What? Are you going to give it to him? Zhao Ling'er's anger was still unabated, and she reluctantly split the medicinal powder in the bag into two, turned her head and glared at Yan Mingxiu dissatisfiedly.
Yan Mingxiu was not annoyed, and raised his eyebrows at the two of them and smiled, his eyes full of gratitude and trust. This made Zhao Ling'er unexpected, her heart softened, and her tone softened: "That's all, save a little use, who knows what is strange at the bottom of this pool, I have to keep some prepared." ”
Wen Jinyan's face was a little ugly when he heard this, it was not easy for Zhao Ling'er to come here, and he would never agree to enter the secluded pool. But due to Zhao Ling'er's temper, in the end, he didn't say much, just nodded and took the medicine bag in his hand.
"Girl, you want to enter the pool?" Yan Mingxiu seemed to have heard a big joke, and his face was full of incredulity.
Zhao Ling'er didn't answer, she just nodded emphatically, she followed the two of them into the cave just to get the demon pill, what she had determined to do before she came, and at this moment, she naturally had nothing to hesitate about.
"Miss Zhao, ...... you" Wen Jinyan looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, he hesitated again and again, but still said the words in his heart.
Wen Jinyan shook his head heavily and sighed: "Miss Zhao, you also know that this secluded pool is dangerous everywhere, if you insist on entering the pool, you will lose your life at any time, is it really worth it for you to do this?" ”
From the day Zhao Ling'er entered the valley, her words were full of admiration for Ji Beichen, and Wen Jinyan listened carefully to what the two had experienced. Today, Zhao Linger came to Wanpu Cave for Ji Beichen's danger, he also opened one eye and closed one eye, but he would never come by Zhao Linger when he lost his life in the secluded pool!
"You're a bully!" Zhao Ling'er angrily snatched the medicine bag back, her already red face turned even redder, and she argued again: "It's the same medicine cultivation, you can go down to this secluded pool, why can't I go?" You cultivators are really too much of a bully......"
Zhao Ling'er was aggrieved as she spoke, and her angry words turned into unstoppable choking, followed by sad crying: "Woo woo, it's too bullying......"
"Miss Zhao, don't cry, Fang Cai Wen lost his words......" Wen Jinyan felt guilty and distressed, he had been brewing in his heart for a long time, but for some reason it became like this when he said it.
Yan Mingxiu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, Wen Jinyan said that this kid seems to be really enlightened, but seeing his dumbfounded appearance, I'm afraid that he has no love at all, hey, it's really troublesome!
He rubbed his eyebrows and said angrily, "Hey! You two don't fight, it's a thousand-year-old vine demon in this pool, and one of my Jindan monks has been tricked, so don't join in the fun. ”
Before the two of them could react, Yan Mingxiu raised his fan, calmed his mind, and exerted his divine sense to the limit, but in the moment when the fish jumped on the water, his keen five senses quickly sensed something.
He felt that in the depths of the pool, countless vines among the abundant aquatic plants were lying quietly in the water, and with the push of the current, faintly, those vine branches were obviously swinging leisurely, quite spiritual.
"Go!" Yan Mingxiu let out a loud shout, sinking his divine sense further, and he suddenly felt that there was a rich aura of heaven and earth under the water, coiling under the water of this vibrant and high-spirited pool, and it seemed that the body of this vine demon was underwater.
"Whew!" Yan Mingxiu gasped and used his divine sense to consume his true qi, and his divine sense could only probe this, it seemed that the bottom of this pool must go.
Wen Jinyan saw that Yan Mingxiu was about to go into the water, and shouted to stop him: "Senior Yan, wait!" This water is extremely poisonous, so I can only go down, and when I lure the vine demon up, my predecessors will kill it. ”
"Won't you be poisoned?" Yan Mingxiu frowned when he heard this, he was indeed more taboo about the poison in the water, if he only relied on the shield of his body, he was afraid that he would not last long, not to mention killing the vine demon at the bottom of the pool.
Wen Jinyan nodded firmly with his eyes, and replied without hesitation: "The purpose of Master asking me to come with me this time is for the sake of poison. I am a disciple of the ghost doctor mound, and all poisons are inviolable, and my predecessors just believe me. ”
Zhao Ling'er listened to the conversation between the two, and instantly stopped a lot, she couldn't do it without a hundred poisons, since she couldn't help, it was better not to make a mess. She obediently handed the medicine bag to Yan Mingxiu, looked at Wen Jinyan with a little worry, opened her mouth, and still didn't say anything of concern.
Yan Mingxiu looked at the medicine bag in his hand, thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to let Wen Jinyan go down first. After all, the person in the ghost medicine mound has real skills, and he believes in Lord Shigu and is willing to take a risk.
"In this case, if you go, if you can't fight, you can escape, don't be hard." As he spoke, Yan Mingxiu took out the brocade cloth talisman sewn from the storage ring and sewn it with silk thread.
There were more than 20 of them, and Yan Mingxiu stuffed all his brains into Wen Jinyan, and he didn't forget to advise: "This water spell is very easy to use, you can draw it with me, don't be reluctant to use it!" ”
