Chapter 376: The River God Manifests
Hua Chen heard his whisper and asked, "Do you know that woman?"
"I've seen her a few times, but I don't know how she ended up here?" replied Luo Yan as he looked at the woman placed on a stone chair.
Looking at the warm yellow dragon boat, the Yuan Infant monks standing outside, when they saw the holy woman coming out, they immediately bowed their heads and said, "See the patriarch, see the holy woman." ”
It seems that the patriarch in their mouth is the old man who cultivated in the early stage of the transformation of the gods, and the holy woman is the woman who has been sealed in the qi veins.
Then I heard the old man say: "This memorial meeting is presided over by Elder Qingteng, everything can be in accordance with his arrangement, I won't say more." After saying that, he looked at the old man who had just shouted, "The hour has come."
The man was wearing a black robe today, his face was painted with colorful dye, and he was holding a strange magic weapon in his hand and shaking it.
Seeing that the patriarch had finished announcing, he immediately walked to the center of the altar, raised the magic weapon in his hand high, made a tinkling sound in the shaking, and pointed to the sky with his other hand at one time, and then to the river, and kept reciting the sacrifice in his mouth.
The meaning of the prayer is to thank the Holy Spirit for his protection over the past 100 years and to pray that it will continue to bless the Taihe people for the next 100 years.
At the end of the sacrifice, it is mentioned that the clan has selected a holy maiden to go to the holy land to cultivate with the Holy Spirit on behalf of the entire Taihe clan, and hopes that one day they can return from their studies and lead everyone to ascend to the immortal realm.
When he finished chanting, he folded his hands, raised them above his head, and bowed three times to the sky, then to the river, and then to the woman in the white dress.
Everyone present knelt on the ground and followed him in the same motion.
Luo Yan and Hua Chen were mixed in the crowd, and they also pretended to bow down at this time.
After the ceremony, Elder Qingteng stood up in the shape of shēn, pointed the magic weapon in his hand to the river, and shouted, "Congratulations to the Holy Maiden to the Holy Land." ”
Then look at the two nuns who had been standing next to the woman, pushing the stone chair with both hands, and sliding forward.
Soon, the man and the chair fell into the river together.
And no one stopped the whole process, and the people on the ship and the monks on the shore kept kneeling, repeating in their mouths:
"Congratulations to the Holy Maiden to the Holy Land. ”
"Congratulations to the Holy Maiden to the Holy Land. ”
This deafening cry was heard far away on the surface of the river and into the bottom of the river.
Of these, only two monks did not make a sound, one was the patriarch, who was also kneeling on the ground, but his brow was furrowed, his eyes were closed, and his hand was clenched into a fist on his forehead, and he did not say a word.
The other was the white-haired old man, who, though he was in a kneeling posture like the others, his lips and teeth were open and closed, but he did not make a sound.
Suddenly, a gust of wind (yīn) blew in the air, and the originally calm water began to become choppy and tumbling, and then three water columns erupted, and then a three-headed and six-winged monster flew out of the water, holding the falling woman in a white dress to circle over the river before falling into the water again.
When all the monks and mortals on the shore saw it, they all cheered in unison: "The river god has appeared, the river god has manifested ......."
Luo Yan took advantage of the shouting of everyone to quietly turn into a turtle and dive into the water, while Hua Chen turned back into his body and entered the water.
The two of them followed the strange fish from afar, watching it sink to the bottom of the river and burrow into a hole (xué).
Luo Yan sent a voice to Hua Chen and said, "You stay here and wait, I'll go inside and take a look." ”
Hua Chen said: "Do you really want to go in and die?"
"Just go in and see, I'm not going to die. After Luo Yan finished speaking, his body also drilled into the hole.
Hua Chen thought about it and followed from a distance.
Entering the cave (xué), Luo Yan swam forward for a while, and found that the inside gradually sloped upward, and he swam down the gentle slope that extended upward, and finally exposed the water.
At this time, he saw that after the monster in front of him came out of the water, he turned into a human form and led the woman in the white dress to a cave underground.
Luo Yan hurriedly used the magical power of the Dark Spirit Slashing Sea Beast, completely hid the (shēn) body, and followed the monster into the inside.
About ten zhang forward, the cave became spacious, there was a circular area about 100 zhang wide, the top was inlaid with fluorite, there was a spiritual spring in the middle of the bottom, and a dense spiritual energy rose on it, and there were several stone caves behind the spiritual spring.
In front of one of the caves, a black iron fence is installed, on which white light flows, which looks like a kind of isolation (jìn) system.
There were more than a dozen women in white dresses in the cave, and the monster came to the cave, stretched out his hand and clicked a few times in the void, and then the blackiron fence automatically opened.
The demon fish pushed the woman in the white dress in, and said viciously: "Stay here honestly, and after I finish laying out the formation, I will use you to heal my wounds." With that, he stepped back and closed the fence again.
During this period, a woman inside wanted to rush out, but he pushed her to the ground, kicked her to the back of the cave, and said viciously:
"You're just a gift from them, if you don't want to die, give me some peace, and blame your stupid people. ”
After the reprimand, he reverted to the (jìn) system at the door, and then turned (shēn) to a tall stone mansion next to it.
Luo Yan took advantage of the fact that he put the woman in the white dress in it, and quietly entered the cell in a hidden (shēn) state.
He found that the cultivation of these women was also between the Yudan stage and the Yuan infant stage.
The woman who was kicked to the back just now was the highest cultivation among them, and she had reached the late Yuan Infant stage, but at this time, her face was already pale, and she was spitting blood, and it seemed that she would have to recover for at least three months without taking the pill (qíng).
The woman who was brought in had also been untied at this time, and was hugging and crying with several other women.
The environment in the cave is extremely poor, there are no items, and some of the women even have tattered clothes (shēn), large areas of skin exposed, but there are no clothes to change, let alone storage rings and other items.
Luo Yan couldn't bear to look at it anymore, he looked up at the wall, and found that it was also made of white light (jìn), with the current cultivation of these women, it was impossible to break it.
After reading it, he felt infinite in his heart, cursed to himself, and then appeared in the form of shēn.
The women suddenly saw that there was an extra man in the cave, and they were about to cry out in fright.
Fortunately, Luo Yan made a (jìn) gesture in time, and they covered their mouths with their hands and swallowed back the sound that was halfway through the shouting.
The woman who came in just now and was still hugging her head and crying saw Luo Yan, she was first startled, and then asked in surprise: "Why are you?"
Luo Yan said: "After a hundred years of farewell, I can't imagine that Fairy Linuo can still remember it." ”
Lino said: "Why don't you remember, if it wasn't for the help of the shepherd, I'm afraid I would have been dead a long time ago." ”
Luo Yan said: "The past is just (qíng).
Don't mention it, this is not the place to talk, I'll get you out first. ”
As he spoke, he took out a pill and sent it to the injured woman and said, "This is a healing pill, and the fairy can speed up the recovery of the injury after taking it." ”
Later, he said to the others, "You retreat to the rear of the cave for the time being, and I will break this (jìn) system." After saying that, he raised his hand and prepared to crack it.
One of the women hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "Childe and slow, the (jìn) system here is connected to the (jìn) system in the cave next door, and the six-winged lizard fish that breaks through here and there will inevitably find that none of us will be able to leave at that time."
There was a monk in the early stage of the human merger who came here to save us, but he was discovered by the hateful demon beast, and finally he was swallowed alive. ”
When Luo Yan heard this, his arm stopped in the air and said, "Since this is the case, then let's get rid of him together." As he spoke, he continued to cast spells.
Seeing that Luo Yan was not persuaded by the woman who spoke, (qíng) hurriedly reached out and hugged his arm, and continued to persuade:
"I know you're well-intentioned, you can sneak in, there must be a way to get out of here, since you know Lino, please take her out of here first."
When you go out, tell the people in the clan what you see here, so that they don't give it to the monster in the future.
We have already been plagued by him, and it doesn't hurt to endure it for a while, as long as you two can get out safely. ”
Luo Yan looked at the other people in the cave, and they all showed the same qíng.
The women who were not covered by their clothes pulled their torn clothes as much as possible at this time, covering the vital parts, and then looked up at Luo Yan, urging him to leave quickly with Linuo.
At this moment, the sound of the stone door opening was heard outside, and Luo Yan, for the sake of caution, once again used the skill of the Dark Spirit Slashing Sea Beast to hide it.
Then the outside (jìn) system was opened again, and the monster who had just gone out came back, and at this time his upper body was exposed, and Luo Yan could clearly see that the black scar on his (shēn) was flowing out with black liquid.
And this liquid is also filled with the power of thunder and lightning. He secretly said in his heart: "It seems that this is the scar left by the failure of the catastrophe back then." ”
I saw him come to Linuo's (shēn), stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm and scolded: "Come with me, the old man forgot to check your (shēn) body just now, don't send me another witch." ”
And several women standing next to Lino saw that he was going to take Lino away, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lino's other arm, unable to bear to let go.
I only heard the demon beast roar: "Who gave you such courage, if you don't let go, you will feel good in the future, believe it or not, you will be made into nourishment like those women who don't know how to lift, and feed them to the mermaids in the spring." ”
Several women trembled when they heard this, but they bit their lips tightly and still did not let go.
The woman who stopped Luo Yan just now said: "Six-winged Lizard Fish Daoist, we all met Sister Lino when she was a child, she is definitely a girl of the Taihe Clan, you should let her go today!"
The six-winged lizard fish scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, what the old man wants to do (qíng), do you use your fingers? As he spoke, he kicked the woman in the lower abdomen again.
Poor thin (shēn) body, under his blow, immediately flew out, hit the cave wall hard, and fell to the ground again, a mouthful of blood spurted out, but she still crawled towards Lino with some stubbornness, trying to continue to stop it.
