Chapter 117: The Abyss Has a Bottom to See the Stranger (2)
"Who is the senior, why are you here?" asked Shen Guhong.
The old man was taken aback: "Can you see me? Am I ugly?"
Shen Guhong sighed and said: "I picked a few night pearls from the underground palace above, of course I can see you, without the night pearls, I have recovered from my injuries, Xuan Gong is in my body, naturally my ears and eyes are clear, and I can also see you!"
The old man snorted coldly: "There is only one way to die when you come here, and it is useless for you to move the night pearl in the dungeon." ”
Shen Guhong said: "Isn't the predecessor still dead?"
"Hehe, hey, not dead, you can see the way I look, you know that I am better than dead, I just hang my breath, unwilling to close my eyes!" said the old man.
It is not the first time that Shen Guhong has faced death, as long as death does not really come, he feels that there is still hope for everything, not to mention that she really can't die yet. At the moment, I only heard him say: "No matter what, at least I'm still alive." ”
The old man said lightly: "Actually, you can go out from here, but it's just ······."
"Just what?" asked Shen Guhong.
The old man said: "Alas, this dungeon and the Feiyun City above and the river form a mechanism city, if we can get out from here, unless the dungeon collapses and blocks the leakage below, the water in the dark river is slowly full, and it is one with the river on the ground, so we can have a chance to get out." ”
Shen Guhong laughed, leaning back and forth with a smile, he looked at the old man and said word by word: "Don't hide it from the seniors, this underground palace has really collapsed, and there is nothing left." ’
When the old man heard this, he immediately became excited. Only then did Shen Guhong realize that the old man's hands were also empty, that is, his hands and feet were gone.
"Senior, how did you become like this?" Shen Guhong was shocked, it was really a great miracle that such a person could still live.
"Hey, do you just see my appearance clearly? Tell you, this is all a good thing done by my rebel, I am not willing to close my eyes, I want to live longer than her, hehe, as long as I live longer than her, then I have won!" the old man's voice was full of hatred.
Shen Guhong asked again, "Who are you, senior?"
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, the old man is Su Mang, the high priest of the Temple of the Moon God, and twenty years ago, my rebel cut off my hands and feet, and she threw me into the river in the city for fear of being discovered. The river was just a part of the Dark River, and by chance, I came here. The old man's voice was like a terrible ghostly scream.
Shen Guhong was shocked: "Your apprentice won't be the current high priest, right?"
"If nothing else, it should be, by the way, she has a name, called Ruolin, this name is still from me, hehe, why did I raise a poisonous snake!" Su Mang's pale eyes also moved at this time, extremely scary.
Shen Guhong said: "Things in the world will not happen for no reason, not to mention that you and her are still in a master-apprentice relationship." ”
When Su Mang heard this, he sighed and said: "Yes, everything in the world does have cause and effect, yes, she wants to enter the underground palace, but the old man didn't give it to her, and when she was angry, she poisoned my food, hehe······"
Shen Guhong was silent for a while, and said, "Are you just trying to enter the underground palace?"
"That's right, the so-called Moon Clan people in this Feiyun City are just the descendants of the group of monks during the Qin Dynasty, it is said that they have practiced the elixir of longevity, and they are placed in this underground palace, the temptation of immortality is indeed too great!" Su Mang sighed.
"Listen to what your predecessors mean, aren't you from Feiyun City?" Shen Guhong exclaimed.
Su Mang nodded: "I'm not." ”
"Then how did you become a high priest? As far as I know, people from the Moon Clan can't even enter the Moon God Temple. Shen Guhong said.
Su Mang snorted coldly: "If you want to become a member of the Moon Clan, you just drink the divine water!"
Shen Guhong said lightly: "You and I both know that after drinking that divine water, you will become human-like and ghost-like, if you don't have a plan, you will drink the divine water?"
"That's right, the old decay diagram is the elixir in this dungeon!" Su Mang suddenly laughed, and his laughter was full of desolation.
Shen Guhong said: "If you didn't guess wrong, you didn't know how to enter the underground palace back then." ”
Su Mang didn't want to admit it, but what Shen Guhong said was the truth. Both of them fell into silence at this time, and after a long time, they suddenly heard the sound of commotion getting louder and louder, and the sound of running water became louder and louder, and Shen Guhong could already feel that the water in this quagmire was constantly increasing.
"According to the seniors, as long as the water in the dark river fills this place and becomes one with the river above, we can get out?" asked Shen Guhong.
Su Mang said: "Yes, as far as the old man knows, the mechanism here is set up like this. ”
Shen Guhong said: "If the predecessors can persist for so many years, they must understand the environment below!"
Su Mang's white eyes rolled, and he suddenly laughed: "I know, you must be hungry." ”
Shen Guhong smiled bitterly, he didn't know how long it had been since he fell, but his stomach was really hungry to the extreme.
"If the seniors can give me something to eat, I will be grateful!" Shen Guhong knew that if he could live here for twenty years, he would not be able to eat it.
Su Mang laughed: "Yes, I know there is something to eat here, but why should I tell you?"
Shen Guhong said: "Don't the seniors want to go out?"
When Su Mang heard this, his whole body trembled, and his voice was also trembling: "I······ Can I really get out?"
Shen Guhong said: "If what the seniors said is true, they should be able to go out, and in order to repay the kindness of the seniors, they will definitely take the seniors out." ”
"Hehe, the grace of a meal? I think I still had the grace of nurturing her back then, and there are many white-eyed wolves in this world. Why should I believe you?" said Su Mang.
Shen Guhong said: "Not all people are ungrateful!"
When Su Mang heard this, he snorted coldly, and then no matter what Shen Guhong said, he kept his mouth shut, over the years, he had long been used to loneliness, so once he didn't want to speak, no one could let him speak.
Shen Guhong sat up and untied the dark iron box on his back, the Lingbao Bow was still intact and loaded, but there were only nine wind-chasing arrows. At that moment, he took out the "Martial Scripture" and began to observe the third picture, the true qi was running on its own in the body, and after running for thirty-six weeks, the true qi in his body was still in a saturated state, the tip of his tongue was full of relish, and the feeling of hunger was much less. An hour passed, and Shen Guhong was already able to stand up completely, but this was a mud flat, and it was inconvenient to get up, so he put the Xuantie box on his back and crawled forward.
"Where are you going?" Su Mang's voice came out, and half of his body was extremely flexible in the quagmire, like a spirit snake, swinging a few times, and then blocking in front of Shen Guhong.
Shen Guhong was suddenly startled, his injuries had already healed by half at this time, his body was intact, and his movements were slower than Su Mang's.
"If the seniors refuse to give me food, do they want to starve to death here?" Shen Guihong said.
Su Mang sneered: "If the food here is so easy to find, those who fall down won't die!"
Shen Guhong said: "No matter what, it's better than waiting for death here!"
Su Mang snorted coldly, swung his body, and crashed towards Shen Guhong. Caught off guard, Shen Guhong's body was knocked over a few feet away. Shen Guhong was shocked at the moment, he didn't expect that Su Mang had already scrapped his hands and feet, and this collision alone still had such great power.
"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Shen Guhong's face was hard to see.
"Eat in the water, you only have a dead end here!" Su Mang's words were neither salty nor light.
Shen Guhong looked behind, but saw that there was indeed water flowing more than ten zhang away, and he said at the moment: "Seniors said that there is food in this water?"
"Yes, this dark river is huge, and there are fish in it, but there is no fire here, and there is no firewood, so it can only be eaten raw. Su Mang said.
Shen Guhong was shocked again, Su Mang had no hands and feet, he had to enter the water to eat the fish in the water, and there was only one way to catch the fish, that is, to bite with his mouth. All this seems ridiculous to think about, but what a miracle this old man has lived here for twenty years.
"Are you wondering how I got the fish in the water? If you want to live, you will eventually find a way. Su Mang said leisurely.
Shen Guhong sighed and crawled towards the water, the night pearl emitted a faint light, and he could see everything in the water. There are fish in the water, but the fish in the water are not so easy to catch, especially the fish here are extremely clever, they are different from the fish outside, maybe because they have not seen the sun, these fish are white. But it looks like the meat is extremely tender, if there is fire and oil, Shen Guhong feels that it must be delicious when it is cooked. Shen Guhong caught it a few times, either he didn't even touch the edge of the fish, or he was slid by those fish in his hand, but at this moment, his martial arts didn't have much effect.
Su Mang swung his body, came to the water's edge, and said, "To catch these fish, you can't just compare the speed with them. Of course, if you can go as fast as possible, it is also possible. ”
Shen Guhong said: "The speed is not bad, but these fish are too slippery, and they react quickly." ”
Su Mang said lightly: "Sometimes you have a pair of bright eyes, but they are not necessarily useful, and some things have to be felt with your heart." ”
After Su Mang finished speaking, his body swung and entered the water, he also swung his body like a fish when he was in the water, his mouth was open, and he really bit the fish swimming in the water.
"Senior, this kung fu is really amazing!" Shen Guhong praised from the bottom of his heart.
Su Mang said leisurely: "If you become like me and don't want to die, you can also learn these kung fu." ”
Shen Guhong was silent for a while, then went into the water to catch fish, and after working for half an hour, he finally caught a fish. Shen Guhong picked up the white fish, and the light of the night pearl shot out, and the white fish also shone with a faint light, looking crystal clear, as if it was made of jade. Not only that, but the white fish exuded a coldness, as if it was holding a block of ice.
In this kind of ghost place, if you want to live, whether it is raw or cooked, as long as you can eat it, you have to eat it. Shen Guhong picked up the white fish, took a bite, and chewed it slowly, except that the white fish was extremely cold, it didn't taste bloody at all, so even if it was eaten raw, it was not particularly unpalatable.
