Chapter Eighty-Seven: One Step Late

This human-faced giant crab has lived for more than a thousand years, and it inadvertently ate the corpse of the person trapped in the cave, and unexpectedly produced a fetal bead like the inner tube of the top master in the martial arts, becoming the underwater crab king, and occupying this cave as its home.

Although crabs live in water, they also need to breathe air. Other crabs catch bubbles and place them under aquatic plants, but this crab has the unique spirit to direct his crabs to constantly suck up the exhaust gas and drag fresh bubbles, which keeps people breathing in the underwater cave.

Now as soon as the cancer came home, it found that there was an uninvited guest in the house, and in order to defend the territory, it broke out and hurt people.

Song Yuanlan was in great pain, raised her sword and stabbed it, and plunged it straight between the crab's claws.

The cancer was in pain and let out a terrifying cry like a woman's wail.

Song Yuanlan was shocked when she heard this, and drew her sword and stabbed it down.

The sword was so sharp that it broke through the crab's armor and pierced the crab's body, nailing it to the hard stone.

The giant crab weakly let go of the crab claw that was holding Song Yuanlan, struggled for a while, and gradually stopped moving.

Song Yuanlan sat on the side and gasped for a long time. As soon as the fright passed, the fire of hunger suddenly came up again, this time accompanied by a feeling of burning fire, which was still uncomfortable.

Look around and around, there is no other food. Song Yuanlan had the courage to stretch out her foot and touch the giant crab, and found that the giant crab had no reaction.

After confirming that the giant crab had been dead for a long time, Song Yuanlan relieved herself, pulled out the sharp sword pierced on its body, and dragged the terrifying crab corpse, which was bigger than the grinding plate, to the center of the platform, and used the sword to cut off the crab shell, revealing a pile of crab roe that looked like a human shape inside.

Song Yuanlan knew that this part of the crab meat was the most delicious, but unfortunately there was no fire to heat it, so she had to eat it raw.

Who knew that Song Yuanlan cut off a piece of crab roe with a sword and was about to lick it, but suddenly found that inside the dug up humanoid crab roe, a white bead of flesh was exposed.

Song Yuanlan felt very strange, and took out the white flesh beads and put them in front of her nose to sniff them, and a cool breath penetrated into her internal organs, and her originally drowsy mind was suddenly refreshed a lot.

Song Yuanlan was overjoyed at this time, and tried to bite the meat beads, the entrance was sweet and cool, without the slightest fishy smell.

A burst of hunger was seduced by the fragrance of the meat beads, and Song Yuanlan did not hesitate anymore, chewing the white meat beads and swallowing them in one gulp.

Like a clear spring entering her abdomen, Song Yuanlan's whole body was refreshed.

Swallowing the white meat beads, Song Yuanlan ate the crab roe again, and was about to rest, when she suddenly felt that the clear spring in her stomach began to flow to the whole body.

Song Yuanlan was pleasantly surprised, but she was shocked to find that the dantian was cold, and there was no internal atmosphere that she should have in the past.

Song Yuanlan was startled and was busy concentrating on her luck.

How do you know this luck, the mind immediately advanced into a quiet situation that is usually unattainable, and the things in the cave are reflected in Song Yuanlan's brain, which is clear and clear.

Song Yuanlan opened her eyes in shock, followed the place she sensed just now, and found a thumb-sized bead in the abdomen of the pile of white bones. The whole body of the bead emits a clear light and beautiful energy, and the light in the cave comes from it.

"Chiyang Zhu?" Song Yuanlan was taken aback, but then shook her head and smiled. The Chiyang Bead had already been eaten by Chai Shaoning's ruthless and unrighteous bastard, and most of this bead was also dragged into the hole by the giant crab and inadvertently placed in the abdominal cavity of the white bone.

It seems that animals, like humans, like shiny things.

Song Yuanlan picked up the beads and held them in her hands and couldn't help but be fascinated.

The location of this bead proves that the dreamlike scene just now is definitely not an illusion of oneself, but how can a person have such a magical exploration spiritual power?

Song Yuanlan suddenly realized something? Raising her hand, a sword stabbed out of the void, and she felt that the sword was like a part of a limb extending out, the size of the force on it, the proportion of the stab, the speed and distance of the stab, all of which were clearly fed back into the brain.

Song Yuanlan wanted to rebel against her father and stepmother, and her stepmother once said that this set of swordsmanship created by her mother-in-law Ye Xinlan was meticulous and cumbersome, even if it was as strong as the master Bo Donghai Shenjun, it also changed the sword intent, and kneaded into the killing routine of opening and closing in the swordsmanship, and with the natural domineering spirit of the East China Sea Shenjun, a breakthrough was made. And the real supreme realm of this set of swordsmanship is the sword shadow and pure heart. Only by controlling the sword with the heart and entering the pure heart can the fine, accurate and skillful advantages of this swordsmanship itself be brought into play.

Thinking of this, Song Yuanlan was ecstatic, could it be that she had inadvertently reached the state of mind of the sword shadow that only the ancestral mother-in-law practiced in the legend of this sect?

At this moment, there seemed to be a movement in the water, silently but very clearly reflected in Song Yuanlan's mind.

The long sword in Song Yuanlan's hand came out in response to the "intention", without the slightest feeling of using the sword normally, as if the sense of touch was extended, and it was clear that the sword had pierced into the body of a fish. This feeling is indescribably wonderful and pleasant!

With a "bang", the long sword came out of the water.

Looking at the fish that was still swinging on the tip of the sword, Song Yuanlan's heart moved, she sat down cross-legged, the long sword slowly stretched out into the water, calmed down, condensed and felt, a trace of feeling came from the water, and swam into the brain with the sword, as if her thoughts were constantly extending outward.

Song Yuanlan, who was meditating, unknowingly advanced to the supreme realm of the unity of heaven and man in kendo!

————

Chai Shaoning, Geng Qiuwen, and Fang Xiaoyun left Wudang and traveled all the way, arriving outside the Bazhou Mansion in Sichuan on this day.

However, looking at the government again, the gate was closed, and the front of the door was deserted, and there was not even a messenger to guard it.

Chai Shaoning had a bad feeling in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and smashed the door.

With a "squeak", the door was opened from the inside, and an old servant poked his head out.

Seeing Chai Shaoning and the others, the old servant waved his hand impatiently and said: "I will hand it over after I have a case, who knows when the new Lord Zhizhou will arrive?"

Chai Shaoning said anxiously when he heard this: "Old man, is it possible that Song Zhizhou, who was promoted from Shanxi, has not taken office yet?"

"Are you talking about the predecessor Song Zhizhou?" The old official looked Chai Shaoning up and down and asked: "Young man, I hear that your accent is also from Shanxi, I don't know what the relationship with Song Zhizhou is?"

After listening to Chai Shaoning's identity, the old servant sighed and opened the door.

Through the doorway, Chai Shaoning and the three of them saw that the wide courtyard inside was deserted, and there was no messenger on duty except for the old official in front of them.

Chai Shaoning's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.

Let Chai Shaoning and the three of them into the room on the inside of the gate, and the old official said after talking about the recent bloody case that happened in the Bazhou Mansion: "The king of Sichuan has made Lord Song a Zhizhou, but both husband and wife died tragically in a foreign land, and he has compassion, so after the autopsy, he ordered someone to collect the coffin and send it back to his hometown, and ask the local officials to give him a thick burial, which can be regarded as letting Song Zhizhou return to his roots!"

Chai Shaoning's tears could no longer flow uncontrollably.

Geng Qiuwen saw that Chai Shaoning was emotional, thanked the old servant on his behalf, and together with his sister Fang Xiaoyun, helped Chai Shaoning to an inn near the mansion to rest.

The shopkeeper sent lunch, and Chai Shaoning couldn't eat a bite.

Fang Xiaoyun persuaded: "Shaoning, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to open something!"

Chai Shaoning shed tears and said: "Master Song's brother died tragically, and I can't escape the blame. He was alert, and he guessed that Murong Ding would retaliate before the incident, so he sent Rou'er and the aunt away first. It's just that he and Mr. Chen are burdened by official positions and can't help themselves. Poor third sister was captured by that fateful monk, I don't know where to suffer?Senior Sister Zhimei will die because I am tired, if Lan'er is also killed by me, how can I, Chai Shaoning, be worthy of the teacher and Lord Song's spirit in the sky?"

Geng Qiuwen sighed secretly and persuaded: "The matter has come to this point, so I have to take one step at a time!"

Fang Xiaoyun was also sad in her heart, looking at Chai Shaoning and shaking her head, she knew this in her heart, why bother in the first place?

Geng Qiuwen carefully observed Chai Shaoning's expression, and saw that although he was sad, he did not lose control of his emotions, knowing that he had been taught a lesson in this matter, and his personality began to become calm, not as reckless as before, so he asked Chai Shaoning: "What are Shaoning's plans now?"

Chai Shaoning looked at Geng Qiuwen and Fang Xiaoyun and said: "That fateful monk and Lord Song have no grievances, how can they kill Lord Song? This person must be an accomplice of the Nine Ghosts in Sichuan, so I want to find out the whereabouts of the third sister from the Nine Ghosts." ”

Seeing that Fang Xiaoyun opened his mouth to speak, Chai Shaoning took the lead and said quickly: "I know that Bazhou is the lair of the Nine Ghosts, the Holy Heavenly Venerable is famous, and the martial arts of the Nine Sons and Ghost Mother are even more unfathomable. But I don't plan to run into them, this place is very close to Qinghai, if I can't find out the whereabouts of the third sister within two days, I will follow Brother Geng and Sister Fang into the Western Xinjiang, and ask the old predecessors of the Western Wilderness to deal with the nine sons and ghost mothers. ”

Geng Qiuwen and Fang Xiaoyun glanced at each other. Since Chai Shaoning said it in his head, and he does have the strength to challenge the Nine Ghosts now, even if he can't win, there should be no problem in escaping. So the two of them didn't say anything to refute, and persuaded Chai Shaoning to eat a few bites of food, and then go back to their rooms to rest and recharge their energy for the night exploration of the lair of the nine ghosts.

It's a cloudy night, and the stars and moon are covered, so it's a good time to walk at night. The three of them had dinner, and after everyone in the store had rested, they cleaned up and quietly went out and jumped out of the store.

Geng Qiuwen inquired about the location of the chief helm of Fengyuemen when chatting with Xiao Er in the store during the day, and the Fengyuemen was very famous in the local area, so the three of them found the door without difficulty.

Looking at it from a distance, the grandeur of Fengyuemen is even greater than that of the Bazhou Mansion. There is a square in front of the main gate, and big trees are planted around it, and lampposts are planted between the trees, and huge wind lamps are carried on them, which illuminates the square in front of the door.

It was close to midnight, but there were still six big men guarding in front of the tall gatehouse, all with round eyes and full of energy.

The main entrance of Fengyue Gate is six steps higher than the square, and under the steps, there is a stone lion on the left and right with teeth and claws, which fully represents the hideous face of the people in Fengyue Gate.

On the top of the steps, four huge pillars open out of the porch, and in the middle of the corridor is the red lacquered main entrance of Fengyue Gate, nailed with brass buckles and black iron lion nose rings. There are two other side doors on either side of the main entrance, and then out is the courtyard wall made of blue bricks and green tiles, which stretches into the endless darkness.
