Chapter 265: Ancient Beast Neidan
If others heard the words of the one-eyed old boatman, they could clearly hear it as quite harsh sarcasm, but the warrior in the gilded mask and others had long been accustomed to it, and they knew that this was a senior of the sect who relied on the old and sold the old, so they didn't bother with it.
What's more, when the warrior with the gilded mask had just joined the Soul Destroying Villa, this one-eyed old boatman was a golden-faced warrior, so in the heart of the warrior with the gilded mask, there was a little awe for the one-eyed old boatman.
Even if the one-eyed old boatman has become so bad and weak now, everyone present can be treated with awe.
Kou Hao could see at a glance that on the bow of the awning boat, the fish was still boiling in a dilapidated iron can, and the aroma was quite rich. And the old boatman's careless rowing seemed quite leisurely.
"Tell me about the enemies you've encountered, I'm curious why you've survived so many. The one-eyed old boatman smiled disapprovingly as he rowed.
"But this operation is the secret of our Soul Destroying Villa, and we can't tell it casually. The scimitar warrior said.
"Come on, when I followed the owner of the village and his old man in the martial arts, you were still children. No obstacles, let's talk about it. The one-eyed old boatman said.
The people present glanced at each other, and finally came to an agreement, and the short silver-masked warrior would tell the story in detail. Kou Hao took off his mask, and he looked at the water from the side of the boat, but saw that his own face was extremely pale.
"It seems that I can't always wear this mask, or I'll become ghostly and ugly. Kou Hao's heart sank.
The one-eyed old boatman listened carefully to the entire process of action in the Bloody Ancient Cave, and said with a long breath: "This is indeed your luck, if there is no cave behind, you can only face the Thirteen Taibao of the Thunderbolt Hall head-on, and you will not be able to defeat the Thunder Calling Technique." ”
He handed over a large stack of bowls and waved for a copper-faced warrior to carry the tin can for boiling fish.
"In addition, if you encounter the disciples of the Mountain Patrol within the scope of the Heavenly Sword Sect, you will only end up with a tragic death. The bald old man and the others were very strong and numerous, but in front of a behemoth like the Heavenly Sword Sect, they looked very pale and powerless. The one-eyed old boatman sighed deeply.
"What the predecessors said was very true, and I was also very worried at that time, it is not a pity that we died, but it is the biggest regret in our hearts that we cannot bring back the treasures that the owner needs. The warrior in the gilded mask said.
At this moment, he also took off his mask, and his face was cold, sharply contoured, and rather pale. And his eyes are very gloomy and deep, and when you look at him, you will feel a deep chill.
At first, Kou Hao felt that he was quite hypocritical when he said this, and felt that these flattering words would reach the ears of the Soul Exterminator in the future, which would be very beneficial to him. But now, seeing the attitude of the warrior in the gilded mask, Kou Hao felt that this person admired the owner of the village, and regarded the completion of his mission as a sacred and glorious thing.
The one-eyed old boatman looked into the distance and was silent for a while before he said, "The people of Perak Hall will definitely not give up, they should still come to chase and kill, and we have to think about it in the long run." However, if they abandon their local advantages and come all the way to attack our Soul Destroying Villa, then let them come and go. ”
As for what kind of treasure the gilded masked warriors brought back, the one-eyed old man didn't ask, he felt that this was the secret, and with his current idler, he couldn't check it without permission.
Kou Hao filled a bowl of fish soup and a white fish the size of a palm, looking at the magnificent and bright scenery of the pool, listening to the sound of the canopy boats rowing forward, he tasted the fish soup carefully.
For those who often live near the water, there is nothing special about the way fish soup is boiled, and the taste is average. However, for a wandering person like Kou Hao, for some reason, a very inexplicable warm feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.
People in the world strive for fame and fortune, but they often ignore the most simple but real happiness around them. Therefore, Kou Hao feels that people must learn to be content, carefully perceive some happy things, if they are in a hurry to keep chasing the goal, but their hearts can't calm down, then they are busy all their lives.
The meaning of looking at flowers is not as good as watching a flower calmly.
The canopy boat slowly passed through the narrow position of the waterhole, and on the high cliffs on both sides, all kinds of unknown fragrant flowers were still blooming. The saxifrage is still swaying with the cold wind on the cliff, looking like a shrunken lotus leaf, and its pale gold petals, fluttering in the wind, are full of otherworldly meaning.
Kou Hao couldn't help but think of the sentence in "Chu Ci": Only the grass and trees are scattered, and I am afraid of the twilight of beauty. "Thinking about that ancient era, the great literati Qu Yuan was exiled between the mountains and rivers, although he was full of depression because of his ambitions, but such a landscape environment made Qu Yuan make such a magnificent poem as Chu Ci.
"Many warriors think that a swordsman like me who likes poetry is simply inexplicable. But in this poem, there is a kind of mystery that has been around for thousands of years, and if you can understand it more thoroughly, it will also have a great effect on promoting your own kendo. Kou Hao said in his heart.
After another tea time, the canopy boat finally docked, and the person at the head put on a gilt mask and led Kou Hao and the others ashore together.
Everything around Soul Slayer Villa was still covered in a cold and eerie mist, and the guards were as silent as statues, not moving.
On the nearby rocks, there were still grim bloodstains left by the murder of the traitor before. Soul Slayer Villa didn't have to be completely cleared, because staining the ground with blood would also add to the poignant atmosphere of Soul Slayer Villa.
After coming to the lobby, the maid went to report it, and after a while, the owner of the Soul Slayer Village walked out of the back room, still so haggard and weak, coughing constantly, as if he would die of illness at any time.
"Very good, I didn't expect you to come back with so many people. The people I sent to support you were outside the Heavenly Sword Sect, and when I saw that you escaped safely, I didn't show up and quietly returned. The Soul Destroyer Master coughed and said slowly.
In fact, when Kou Hao and the others carried out the mission of exploring the Bloody Ancient Cave, they did not pin their hopes on the rescue troops promised by the Soul Destroying Villa.
"The details of this operation will be reported in detail later, and now I ask the owner to take a look at this treasure. It's an inexplicable red bead, it's quite weird, you have to be careful, owner. The warrior in the gilt mask said very respectfully.
After that, the warrior in the gilded mask handed over the crimson bead wrapped with a hundred refining quenched spider silk, and when they saw that the master of the Blood Spider Cave used such a method to obtain the crimson bead, they expected it to be safe, so they followed suit.
Otherwise, no one would dare to take the beads directly, and they would be burned to death in an instant. In addition, the crimson beads were entwined like this, and their flames could not spread.
"If the people from the Blood Spider Cave hadn't gone to the Blood Demon Ancient Cave, I really don't know how to take this thing away. The short silver mask warrior said with emotion.
"You tend to be obsessed with the use of powerful weapons and treasures, but you neglect to surround the beads, and since the grotto can hold it for many years, the stone of this place must be able to withstand the high heat and flames of the red beads. The owner of the Soul Slayer Village smiled indifferently.
Kou Hao suddenly said, "What does the owner mean is that a stone containing flame aura can be hollowed out into a box directly on the spot, and this weird red bead can be placed?"
"The children can be taught, that's the truth. The owner nodded appreciatively, still coughing.
Kou Hao was very curious, a master like the owner of the village had extremely deep internal strength, was there any internal injury that he couldn't treat?
As for the specific cause of his injury, it was inconvenient for Kou Hao to ask more, otherwise it would be bad to arouse suspicion.
At this moment, the owner of the village was holding the Hundred Refining Quenched Spider Silk, separating the red beads a little farther away, and staring carefully. Even with the rich experience of the owner, he could not figure out the origin of this bead in the blink of an eye.
The others were silent, waiting for the owner to make a decision, not daring to slack off in the slightest, they all knew very well that once the owner was unhappy, then they would die a miserable death. The owner will not directly kill the person who offends him with a sword, but will torture the person for a long time before he dies by cruel means.
Kou Hao also stared over, but saw that the red beads were the size of apples, and there were raging flames around them. Inside the bead, there was a small dragon-like shadow that swirled and ascended. It's just that when Kou Hao carefully tried to see the dragon-shaped shadow more clearly, he found that there was only a fiery red cloud in the crimson beads.
"Could it be that this is some kind of demon beast's inner dan?" Kou Hao said.
"How is it possible, we and the people of the other demon forces have paid a lot of sacrifices, just to compete for a demon beast inner pill! The scimitar warrior said angrily.
The owner waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and coughed a few times before he said slowly: "Kou Hao is reasonable, I also think this is a demon beast inner pill." However, this is by no means ordinary. Generally speaking, the ordinary demon beast Neidan can only provide us monks with some various energies, and I estimate that this crimson bead can hatch a powerful demon beast in ancient times!"
"What kind of demon beast could it be?" said the warrior in the gilded mask in surprise.
"Legend has it that the powerful large demon beasts in ancient times, when they were in a desperate situation, or in order to emulate the Phoenix Nirvana, they would also gather most of their energy in the Inner Dan. In addition, they will also use secret magic to give Nedan a soul. When the time comes, it will be able to hatch. The owner of the village told the allusion in this.
Kou Hao found that the owner of the village was really knowledgeable, if he wasn't a demon lord, he could be regarded as a respectable elder. (To be continued.) )
