Chapter 9: The Cave in the River

Du Ming followed the giant python [Chiyou] and sank into this [Little Black Water River] step by step. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The river is muddy and castrated.

Large and small whirlpools crumbled, attracted, collided with each other in this wide river of turbid yellow, rose and fell, and drove a majestic and huge force.

Du Ming is in this black water river, and he is suffering from squeezing and tearing from all directions all the time.

It was as if the body was about to be crushed by the black water.

However, Du Ming was not anxious because of this.

He just silently pinched a simple seal in his hand, and at the same time guided him to erect a strange barrier around his body with the aura accumulated by the [Nine Profound Earth and Ten Heavens] during this time!

This barrier is very strange, not to forcibly repel the surrounding water waves, but to use a special frequency, so that Du Ming can be under its protection, like a swimming fish, into this dark underwater world!

"Whew," Du Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: "This [Fish Swimming] water-avoiding handprint is really useful. It seems that I think well, most of the Confucian, Taoist, Buddhism, and nine-stream techniques I saw in my previous life can be used, but the lack of heaven and earth aura makes those spells useless!"

He calmed down, and raised a small seal with clear night vision in his hand, and silently sank towards the bottom of the river with the giant python [Chiyou].

It only sank for about 20 zhang before reaching the bottom of the river.

The bottom of the river is not a shallow, but is paved with countless strange-shaped reefs, most of which are black giant rocks, jagged and undulating, like tiny peaks.

In the vicinity of these reefs, there are some aquatic plants of different colors and shapes stretching their long branches and leaves, floating slowly with the current.

In the meantime, there are some unknown small and medium-sized fish shuttling back and forth.

Du Ming looked at this strange water world, and was amazed, and secretly said that this [Little Black Water River] is really ruined, golden and jade, and under the turbid yellow fishy river water, there is even a different scenery!

After swimming dozens of zhang at the bottom of the river, Du Ming came to a huge cave.

This cave is two or three feet high, dark black, faintly shimmering with pale golden stars.

The entrance to the cave is narrow and sloping downward, and even if you don't look carefully at the bottom of the river, you won't be able to find the cave.

"This is probably the nest of this [Ghost Python] in the river!" Du Ming thought carefully, and at the same time leaned in, following behind [Chiyou].

Maybe it's because of the habits of snakes, although this [Ghost Python] is strictly speaking a kind of ghost, but the cave it builds is also like an ordinary snake python, twisting and turning, high and low, which is very unfavorable to Du Ming's wandering.

It's just that Du Ming doesn't care about this, and is still moving forward slowly.

The cave is dark and has deep winding paths.

After swimming more than ten zhang, he entered the cave.

There was already air in the cave.

This cave is much more spacious than Du Ming imagined, about four or five zhang high, seven or eight zhang wide, the top of the cave hangs a lot of strange stones of different lengths, all of which are flashing with all kinds of bright light, reflecting the inside of this cave clearly!

It's colorful and beautiful!

"Hey!" Du Ming thought to himself, "It's strange!

However, the moment he landed, Du Ming suddenly found the reason.

Because a few zhang to his right, that is, on the inner side of the cave, there was a beautiful jade-white statue standing there.

"Huh?" Du Ming was instantly surprised, and blurted out: "This is not this giant python's own lair, but a temporary cave built by a monk when he was cultivating here?"

Du Ming suddenly realized, the secret path turned out to be like this, no wonder this cave was so neatly cultivated, he originally said that it was the giant python [Chiyou] who patiently excavated, but he never thought that it was the handiwork of the monk!

Du Ming looked at the statue fixedly, but it was the image of a beautiful woman.

The beauty had a gentle expression, picturesque eyebrows, and was dressed in a delicate moon-white lady's light shirt, standing still, looking into the distance, looking lifelike!

Du Ming sighed slightly, did not stop in front of this beautiful jade carving, and quickly shifted his attention to the rest of the cave.

This cave is actually very rudimentary, and there are not many furnishings, only a few pieces.

A small table of white jade, a crystal couch, and a large chair inlaid with cat's eye gemstones.

In addition, there are some small pendants such as ivory pillows and jade watermelons, which may be called a treasure among mortals, but they are nothing to monks who have magical powers inflicted on themselves.

At most, it's just some decoration.

Du Ming gave a few orders to [Chi You] and asked him to recover on his own, and then he ignored these luxurious objects.

He had more pressing things to do.

He had to heal his injuries in as short a time as possible, so that he could have the capital to rob other people's treasures, and finally achieve the best results in this trial with these looted treasures!

This is related to his cultivation in the [Netherworld Dao] in the future, but it cannot be neglected.

Du Ming walked to the crystal couch, lay down high, and put on a posture of [dragon sleeping] commonly used by people in the Xuanmen, his mind gathered, his breath was carried, and in an instant, he entered a state of regulating qi that seemed to be asleep but not sleeping.

The heaven and earth aura that existed in his spiritual platform, surrounding the [Nine Profound Earth and Ten Heavens] talismans, was summoned by him one by one, flowing to all corners of his body, slowly repairing the tiny injuries caused by the time he and [Chi You] collided with each other before.

This process is very slow, but it can eliminate the dark injuries suffered by Du Ming to the greatest extent, so that Du Ming's combat power can be restored to the greatest extent!

Time passes, and time is like water.

..............................

Two days later, inside the water hole at the bottom of the river.

Du Ming was lying on the crystal couch on his side, his eyebrows and eyes were half-closed, and his breathing was like death.

His skin vibrated in a subtle pattern.

Boom! Boom!

His heart was beating strongly, pumping fresh blood through his body.

The rich aura spits back and forth between his mouth and nose!

Finally, his eyes suddenly opened!

A long stream of turbid air was exhaled by him, bringing up patches of milky white mist!

"It's been two days and nights!"

Du Ming smiled as his gaze turned to the top of the cave.

He seemed to have seen the fierce battle of the teenagers in this [Little Yellow Spring Realm] these days!

And, the precious elixirs that awaited him!

"Are you ready, my beloved lambs?"

"The sheep cutter is coming!"
