Chapter 431: Under the Tu Mountain
"What fetish?" I asked, frowning. Bai Jiuyu convened Elder Tu Shan for a meeting before, and the discussion was probably to lend me this so-called divine artifact for use, and the ancestor in Bai Jiuyu's mouth was naturally referring to Dayu.
"Guess what. Bai Jiuyu showed a mischievous look.
"Is it a water artifact?" I said, turning my head to look sideways. Dayu's deeds of controlling the water are well known to women and children, and in addition, I also dealt with water on this trip to the East China Sea, so it was easy for me to think of the gods that Bai Jiuyu said were related to water.
"This artifact does have the power to repel water, but it is not a water-like thing. Bai Jiuyu led me to the back mountain of Tu Mountain.
"What's that?" I asked, curious. Everyone has curiosity, and I'm no exception. Dayu is not an ordinary avenue immortal can be compared, the flood is controlled, the world is set in Kyushu, and the four seas are encompassing. What he left behind was certainly not ordinary.
"Come with me. Bai Jiuyu didn't answer my question, turned around and walked up the stairs.
Beyond the ridge, the stone steps become a gravel paved stone path, the stone path is only three feet wide, and the sides are overgrown with weeds.
"Are there very few people here?" I asked, following behind Bai Jiuyu. There are occasional ripe and rotten wild fruits on both sides of the stone road, the Tushan people like sweetness, this kind of wild fruit has a very high sugar content after ripening, it stands to reason that it should have been picked up a long time ago, but the fruits here have not been picked until they rot, which means that few people usually come here.
"This is the Tushan Holy Land, except for me and a few elders, no other clansmen are allowed to come here. Bai Jiuyu took me straight down the stone path.
I nodded and stopped talking, according to historical records, Dayu was a ** prince back then, and one of them was in Tushan. In addition, Dayu once lived in Tushan for a period of time, and the holy place that Bai Jiuyu said is likely to be the place where Dayu lived.
After following Bai Jiuyu to the foot of the mountain, he turned north and east, and after walking for several miles, Bai Jiuyu finally stopped at the edge of a cliff. It is not appropriate to say that it is a cliff, because the cliff is only a stone wall with a large drop on one side, and here it is steep on all sides, so it is more appropriate to describe it as a sinkhole.
"What kind of place is this?" leaned down and found that the sinkhole was bottomless, and the wide stone wall was slippery and did not leave any hands, and the birds could cross and the apes could not climb. The heavy moisture emitted from the bottom of the pit indicates that there is a large amount of water underneath. It seems that my previous speculation was not correct, and the holy land was not where Dayu lived back then.
"Lift your breath and lighten your body. Bai Jiuyu didn't answer my question, but walked straight into the sinkhole to run the aura and slowly descended.
I frowned and jumped down, there is no vicious aura under this sinkhole, which means that there is no vicious water tribe hidden below, even so, I am still not worried about Bai Jiuyu's safety, and the aura secretly follows and protects.
Ten zhang down, an artificially dug passage appeared on the south side of the stone wall, Bai Jiuyu moved in, and I followed.
The passage is more than a foot high and five feet wide, although it is not spacious, but it can also allow two people to walk side by side, due to the perennial contact with water vapor, the passage is covered with moss, and the feet are very slippery.
Bai Jiuyu didn't open her mouth after coming to the passage, the lack of light in the passage would not affect us, and the two walked side by side with their hands in hand.
After a while, the moisture gradually decreased, without the cover of moss, the traces of the knife and axe on the stone wall of the passage became more and more obvious, the huge axe marks on the stone wall made me frown, each of the axe marks here is six feet long, according to the axe marks, the edge of the axe that excavated the passage should be as long as two meters, who can hold such an axe.
"It's here. Bai Jiuyu finally stopped in front of a stone gate. The single stone door is the same height as the passage, and judging from the pushing marks left on the ground on the left side of the stone gate, this stone gate should be a central axis rotating structure. In addition, the marks left on the ground indicate that the stone gate was opened not long ago.
"We're under Tu Mountain now?" I asked, frowning. Bai Jiuyu and I walked for more than ten minutes before, judging by the direction and time of walking, we should be at the foot of Tushan Mountain now.
"Tu Mountain is in the middle. Bai Jiuyu nodded and smiled, turned around and walked to the left side of the stone gate.
Although there is not the slightest light here, I can still clearly see Bai Jiuyu's action of opening the stone door, there is a mechanism similar to a small balance on the stone wall on the left side of the stone door, and there is a stone container the size of a three-coin wine cup at each end of the device, Bai Jiuyu is dripping blood into one of the cups with her fingernails at the moment.
"Use mine. I hurriedly rolled up my sleeves and walked up.
"Opening the Holy Land requires the blood of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox. Bai Jiuyu smiled and shook her head at me.
"Also recognized. I retreated.
The cup container slowly poured blood and then reacted quickly, slowly falling from eleven o'clock to seven o'clock, with a dull creaking sound, the stone door slowly opened, the stone door after opening was much thicker than I thought, and after it was completely opened, only one person could pass through on the left side.
"Let's go. Bai Jiuyu pointed to the stone gate that had been opened, and asked me to go first. Judging from the traces on the ground, Bai Jiuyu had been here before, and it was clear that there was no danger inside.
"If I had known that, I wouldn't have come with you. I tore my shirt and bandaged Bai Jiuyu's fingers.
"I just want to help you find something in the East China Sea," Bai Jiuyu looked up affectionately, "I know you're lying to me, you can't guarantee that you can come out alive if you really go to the Imperial Mausoleum, but you can't help but ...... for the sake of your eldest brother and eldest sister."
"Don't say anything, let's go inside. I opened my mouth to interrupt Bai Jiuyu's words, Bai Jiuyu's words made me very embarrassed, in all fairness, it is human nature to avoid evil, how can I not know that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is extremely dangerous, the nine purple qi masters have joined forces and the whole army has been wiped out, and it is difficult for me to support the sky alone, but I can't watch the Vajra Cannon and Murong Chasing the Wind and wait for death, so I can only rush up. Bai Jiuyu's seven tricks naturally discovered this, so she convened a meeting of the elders of the clan to discuss and lend me the artifact left by Dayu.
Inside the stone gate was a stone chamber, and although it was still pitch black as ink, I could still see the scene inside the stone chamber with the night vision of qi observation. The stone chamber is not big, only one hundred and ten squares, quite empty, on the stone platform in the middle of the stone chamber stands a black stone carved nine dragons, the dragon stone statue is the same height as the person, a body of nine, the nine dragon heads are arranged very disorderly, it can be seen that it is not a measuring instrument such as a geodynamic instrument.
Bai Jiuyu walked past me, walked straight to the black stone dragon statue in the middle of the stone room, and took out a golden bead from the mouth of one of the dragon heads.
"This is the dust bead left by the ancestors, and it can be carried with you to clear off a hundred feet of water. Bai Jiuyu handed me the golden bead.
"I only heard its name, but I didn't see its shape. I reached out and looked up and down in confusion, the dust bead is only the size of an egg, extremely round, although the color is golden, but it contains but does not revue, but the earth spiritual energy that is not visible has been keenly captured by me, as Bai Jiuyu said before, this dust bead is not a water thing, it should be an earth spiritual thing. In addition, the dust bead is a magic weapon used by Dayu to control the water, I have heard of it a long time ago, but I have never seen it with my own eyes.
"Why is this bead here?" I asked, looking up after a moment's scrutiny. The placement of this dust bead is extremely secret, and the mechanism to open the stone chamber requires the blood of the nine-tailed spirit fox to open, which shows that this bead is very important to the Tushan clan. So I have to be sure of the true effect of this bead, or I can't take it.
"Tu Mountain's mountain protection formation is maintained by it, and the dust bead can be placed on any of the nine dragon heads, and the dragon heads are different, and the path into the mountain will also change. Bai Jiuyu said with a smile.
"Huh?!" Bai Jiuyu's words surprised me greatly, no wonder she had to convene a meeting of the clan elders before, and after a long time, this dust bead was the foundation of their mountain barrier.
"I came in once a while ago, and I wanted to change the position of the dragon head bead and change the way into the mountain, but I was afraid that I would block others and you. Bai Jiuyu said shyly.
"If I take this bead, the barrier of Tu Mountain will be removed?" I asked with a frown.
"Yes. Bai Jiuyu nodded and said.
"Put it back, I can't ask for it. I handed the dust bead in my hand to Bai Jiuyu.
"I'll borrow it for you, and I'll pay it back after you come back from the East China Sea, so it's okay. "Bai Jiuyu didn't take the dust beads I handed over with her back.
I saw that she didn't answer, so I turned around and walked towards the nine dragons, trying to put the dust beads back by myself, but after looking for a long time, I forgot which dragon head Bai Jiuyu had taken out the dust beads from, and I wasn't sure that I didn't dare to stuff them.
"Put it back, I really don't need it. I turned back in desperation. Once Tu Shan's formation barrier is removed, the people of Tu Mountain will be left without protection, in case someone finds them during the time I left.
"The sea is not as good as the land, and it is not very safe to borrow the boat and wood, in case the boat and wood are lost and the sea is vast, how can you return with your whole body?" Bai Jiuyu was always worried about my safety.
"Today's ships are big and made of metal, and they don't go easily to overturn. I stretched out my hand and pulled to stuff the dust bead to Bai Jiuyu, but Bai Jiuyu dodged left and right but didn't answer.
"The mountain is thousands of feet high, the sea is thousands of feet deep, and many spiritual objects in the sea are under water, there are no dust beads, how can you get them in the water?" Bai Jiuyu refused to pick up the dust beads.
Bai Jiuyu's words finally moved my heart, I and King Kong Cannon are army special forces, not Navy SEALs, we are not good at water combat, the ocean occupies seventy percent of the total area of the earth, and no one knows what lives in it. And the ocean is not anyone's fish pond, the fish pond can also clear the pond every three or five times, the things in the sea can live for as many years as possible, there are many big guys, and there are many good things.
"It doesn't matter, the ancestors can leave the formation, and you can also lay a barrier for us. Bai Jiuyu frowned and was silent when she saw me, and spoke again to persuade me.
"Okay, then I'll borrow it for a few days. "I pondered for a long time and finally decided to borrow the Dust Bead, during this time, I can leave a purple qi barrier to temporarily protect the people of Tu Mountain, and I don't think anything big will happen in the future.
"Great, let's go, let's get out. Bai Jiuyu was overjoyed when she saw that I was finally willing to accept the dust beads.
"Don't be in a hurry, come here, I'll ask you something......"
