Chapter 317 Monster’s Paradise
After walking around the monk a few more times and looking all over, Huang Santai and Liu Qing smelled again and again uneasily.
Then they looked at each other and nodded to Yin Xiu.
"In our opinion, this monk probably won't have anything harmful hidden in him."
"That's right, he can't even hide his own soul in this skin. Could he be hiding some bombs or other weapons?"
Yin Xiu nodded and put on two light-colored gloves on his hands.
"Let me see what's hidden and I'll find out."
These two gloves were also bought from Temple Street, and they were different from the technician gloves I had been wearing before.
In addition to the delicate feel, the most important thing is that no matter what coating or other things the other party uses, it will leave marks on the contact surface.
Either oil paint or paint, anyway, these marks can be revealed with just a touch of these gloves.
There weren't many places on the monk's body to hide anything. He was only wearing a pair of monk trousers and was bare-chested.
This actually made Yin Xiu a little embarrassed. After all, unlike Chun Dai, he couldn't do anything to a certain place.
Fortunately, after searching around the monk's bulging belt, Yin Xiu found a lot of things.
Several gold necklaces, two agate rings, a pair of pearl earrings, and a crystal clear sixteen-sided dice.
To be honest, as soon as Yin Xiu saw the sixteen-sided dice, her eyebrows jumped suddenly.
Just because before, Haruyo was involved in a series of troubles because of the sixteen-sided dice that the monk gave him, and he had interactions with the Qi Practitioners.
But now, this dice was completely different from the previous brass dice. It was a crystal clear dice, which made Yin Xiu vaguely feel that he might have found the real thing.
Yin Xiu felt that the brass dice was very delicate when he held it in his hand before, but now when he compared it with the one in his hand, he understood why Du Chen threw it into a crack in the ground after just looking at it that day.
Rough, simply too rough! Compared to this crystal dice the size of a pigeon egg.
Not only Yin Xiu, but also Mr. Huang San and Liu Qing were in a daze, turning a blind eye to the gold and silver treasures on the ground.
Although they knew less than Yin Xiu, and didn't even know the origin and use of the dice, they just stared at it, like puppies and kittens staring at a toy, without moving their pupils for a while.
Yin Xiu gently tossed it upwards in the palm of her hand, and the hearts of Liu Qing and Huang Santai followed. They were even so nervous that they wanted to reach out to catch it, for fear of breaking it.
After spinning a few times, the dice returned to Yin Xiu's hand.
He looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you two bewitched?"
"Bewitched? Impossible!"
Mr. Huang was the first to straighten his back and shake his head like a rattle.
"We Huang Xians have always only played tricks and teased others. How could I be fascinated by this little dice? Isn't this a big joke?"
Liu Qing also clicked and unfolded the fan.
"I am an errand under the Divine Lord of the Qinling Mountains! I have seen a lot of the tricks of those wandering ghosts and mountain spirits! How can they hide it from me? To put it bluntly, it is the Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin stickers posted on the door of the City God's Temple. No one is as smart as me!”
"Okay, okay! It's good that you haven't been deceived. I already know that you have great powers."
Yin Xiuzhen was afraid that if the two of them continued to talk like this, even the Thunder Goddess and Lightning Mother would not be as good as them.
It doesn't matter that these guys have stayed underground all their lives, so it doesn't matter if they don't get wet in the rain. Yin Xiu himself has to walk on the ground. Because these two guys are involved, it's not worth being struck by lightning while walking.
"I have a use for this dice, and it has a life-threatening use. I have to take it."
Yin Xiu glanced at the treasure on the ground again, "How do you divide this gold?"
Liu Qing was the first to retreat and turned around.
According to the rules underground, Mr. Huang San will be the one to take care of anything that happens.
What's the benefit? Naturally, Mr. Huang will take it first, and it's not a matter of how much or how little. It's about how much Mr. Huang wants to take.
He ate up all the meat without leaving any bite, leaving not even a scrap for the people below. They didn't say anything, because this was also a rule and everyone had agreed. Anyone who had any objections would be punished. Breaking the rules.
Of course, Mr. Huang San has never been such a miser who regards wealth as his life, otherwise he would not have been able to sit as a king under the ground for so many years.
After picking out a pair of earrings and an agate ring and going back to make his wife happy, Mr. Huang San said: "Liu Qing, you and Bai Ying each take one, and put the rest in the public treasury."
Liu Qing nodded, bent down to pick up a gold necklace from the ground and stuffed it into his sleeve, then straightened his body again.
Sticking out his tongue, he smiled at Yin Xiu and said, "If I scare you later, please be patient."
After Yin Xiu nodded and said it didn't matter, Liu Qing's body began to change.
His face suddenly swelled up, his cheekbones rose up, and his chin pulled down, as if it was dislocated.
His eyes quickly turned from their normal color of black and white to red. Soon, Liu Qing's neck and head were dyed bright green from his chest upwards, and he transformed into a monster with a human body and a snake head.
She spat out the message at Yin Xiu, not sure if she was saying hello or getting familiar with his scent again.
Liu Qing lowered her neck, opened her mouth, and swallowed the pile of belongings on the ground into her mouth, making frightening swallowing and squeezing sounds.
It wasn't until the pile of treasure was swallowed by Liu Qing with obvious raised marks that the sound finally disappeared.
Liu Qing let out a burp and regained her health.
Mr. Huang San frowned while watching.
"Don't you know how to collect spells with one hand? Do you have to make it so scary and disgusting every time? Let me tell you first, when you want to put it in the warehouse, you must wash it clean before putting it in. It is not allowed to be so sticky."
Liu Qing seemed to be used to his censure. She just smiled and touched her belly, as if she still had more to say.
"Mr. Huang San, I have never done anything inappropriate or thoughtful about the things you have asked me to do. You asked me to put things away, so I thought about it and found that only when I put them in my stomach can I feel at ease. , feel at ease.”
Mr. Huang Santai scratched his head and smiled apologetically at Yin Xiu.
But Yin Xiu didn't care as he said before.
He just asked: "I heard before that the spiritual energy of Kyushu has been severely exhausted, and the monsters are all walking away and dying..."
Yin Xiu didn't continue, but his meaning was already obvious.
The monsters he met on the ground before, whether it was the vixen he met at the beginning or the slightly stronger white peony and white rose he met later, were actually in some kind of weakened state.
It is obviously very difficult to maintain the state of switching between human form and monster at any time like Liu Qing.
Before, Yin Xiu saw that they had always maintained their human form, and the demonic aura on their bodies could not be seen without looking carefully.
It was thought that they, like their counterparts on land, were in some kind of weak state of being trapped in a human body for a long time.
It wasn't until he blocked the monk who used the magic technique that Yin Xiu discovered that the strength of these two people was also terrifying, and probably not comparable to that of ordinary monsters.
Knowing what Yin Xiu wanted to ask, Mr. Huang San laughed happily.
"If someone else asked this question, whether it was to keep it secret or something else, I would definitely kill him. But I said, you are my brother, so I will answer whatever you ask and I will never hide anything.
< br>
At the beginning, after the spiritual energy weakened, our group of guys were really weak. The spiritual energy in Kyushu was gone, and our group of monsters would be finished sooner or later.
Either he will die of illness or old age, or he will fall out of the Five Elements and completely become a wandering ghost without intelligence.
But beneath the ground of Hong Kong Island, we discovered an almost non-existent miracle.
Here, there are many hidden dragons and hidden dragons lurking. The luck they carry has not been lost or taken away, so there is plenty of spiritual energy under the ground.
To be honest, when I first came here, I thought this place was connected to some spiritual vein from Taihang in the past. There was flowing spiritual energy everywhere, and it was extremely strong.
After I rested here for a period of time, not only did my strength return to what it was before, it even grew, and I broke through the bottleneck and became a great demon.
Otherwise, how can I be the boss if there are so many demons in this place? And you married a fox as your wife? Isn't it just because I came early? Uniquely blessed?
However, our ability is that we can travel unimpeded underground. If we go to the ground, it will be like a fish out of water, unable to jump.
The spiritual energy on the ground is too weak. Once we go up there, as long as we stay for a while, the spiritual energy in our bodies will be drained, and it will quickly weaken like dehydration.
So I say that most of us monsters cannot go to the ground. The underground is our blessed place, the paradise of monsters, or the last refuge. We cannot do without it. ”
After hearing what Master Huang San said, Yin Xiu finally understood some of the many secrets under the ground.
But then, he told another strange thing.
"I heard that the Qi Refiners in the cave have been digging underground to find the source of the spiritual energy. They seem to want to find something from the source.
But you know those guys are nervous, let alone humans. Even we monsters are afraid of them when we see them and avoid them, so we don’t deal with them because we don’t know what they are doing. ”
Hearing this, Yin Xiu laughed and weighed the sixteen-sided dice in his hand.
"You don't know, but maybe I already know?"
Mr. Huang San and Liu Qing tilted their heads, obviously not understanding what Yin Xiu was talking about.
Yin Xiu didn't intend to explain for the time being, but just picked up the talisman and tapped it on the monk's forehead.
After a breath, the monk walked straight forward again.
"What is this doing?"
"The things must be returned to their original owners. We have stolen something, so we can't help but let others know, right?"
