Chapter 25 The Stone Dragon Appears
Li Chuan was listening to the conversation between the two monkeys behind Feiquan, and felt the body of the third person trembling. He didn't know whether it was laughter or fear. He patted the crab shell with his hand, and the others calmed down.
The two monkeys are still talking.
The old monkey said in a mysterious and stressed voice, "Don't tell anyone about this. Earlier, Manager Tiger let it slip. This night pearl has a lot of origins, and there is a true immortal hidden in it." A hint of Taoism."
"True immortal?" The little monkey looked in disbelief.
"Take it easy, take it easy," the old monkey looked around, "That's why the stone dragon monster got into a fight with the king."
The two monkeys drank wine one sip at a time. , and soon fell to the ground drunk.
“Let’s go.” Zhu Qingyun’s voice sounded in Li Chuan’s ears.
Li Chuan nodded.
In order to make the journey easier, the two of them sat on Pang San and climbed quickly in the cave under the guidance of Gong Er.
...
In the shadow of the tree beside the Feiquan, a winding vine was found. It was rolled and pulled. The old monkey had no time to make a sound, and was dragged into the deep pool under the Feiquan.
The little monkey seemed to feel something and opened his eyes. He felt his neck tighten, snap, and break his neck. Then he was dragged into the pool like the old monkey.
The two monkey demon corpses gradually shriveled up, became thin and soft, and finally were folded up like a piece of clothing, rolled together, and flowed away with the water.
The vine stretched out from the shadow of the tree, as if it glanced at the moon, and then leaned down again, dripping into the spring water, and climbed on the stone wall along the water flow.
It hid its body in the shadows, caught up with Li Chuan and his party, and followed behind slowly along the rugged edge of the underground river.
Until a corner, a leaf stuck to the book box and pried open a small crack, and then the entire vine shrank in like a spring.
......
Li Chuan sat on Pang San and looked around. The cave was damp and stuffy, with a musty smell. The stone walls were damp and slippery, with some dark moss growing on them. .
Stalactites of different lengths and strange shapes hang down from above, so much so that you always have to lower your head to avoid them.
After walking forward for a while, the light became darker and darker, and I could barely see my fingers. The sound of the rushing water was mixed with some noise from time to time, like a friction sound or something like a creature swimming in it.
Li Chuan thought he had something to say.
He said: "I didn't expect that the news about Pang Di would be so outrageous, and the true immortal's Taoism would come out."
"That's right, it must be the tiger in charge, for Concealing his indiscriminate killing of little demons, he made it up randomly," Gong Er agreed, "His four-legged tiger can walk, but Pang Di's eight legs can't walk better than him."
"Not necessarily? They are all made up." Zhu Qingyun's voice rang out, "That monkey demon, Dong Yi Bang Tou Xi Yi Bang Zi heard some information and pieced it together. Legend has it that Xuanshui Mountain was an immortal dojo thousands of years ago. But I don’t know which immortal it is now. It’s normal to find some immortal relics here.”
Hearing her voice, Li Chuan felt his whole body quiet down. He suddenly discovered that Zhu Qingyun spoke very interestingly. He was not always serious and would often say some complaints in a calm tone.
Zhu Qingyun continued: "The stone dragon monster became a famous monster a hundred years ago. Today it was defeated by the black-horned monster. The black-horned monster must have had an adventure."
"Which immortal is it?" Li Chuan asked.
Zhu Qingyun shook his head, "I don't know, Xuanshui Mountain reappeared after the immortal left here. We only inferred from the ruins that this was the immortal's dojo. As for who left, when and why he left. , these are all unknowable.”
As he spoke, he turned another big corner, and there seemed to be some light ahead.
Li Chuan felt that the air was getting damper.
The water vapor changed shapes on the stone wall. There was a thump and Pang San's body tilted. Although it straightened back immediately, some water splashes still wet the corners of Li Chuan's clothes. A leaf slowly poked out of the book box.
Wow!
A sound of water sounded.
Zhu Qingyun turned his head. Except that the water flow seemed to be stronger, there was no change. She didn't see that there was a vine in the water, and the vine was tightly twisting something.
Clatter, clatter, the little water demon kept struggling. The movement became smaller and smaller, lighter and lighter, until it stopped.
Li Chuan took a breath.
The overwhelming feeling of moisture disappeared.
Shilongteng glanced at Zhu Qingyun's back and retracted into the book box again.
Gong Wuguang's direct disciple is nothing more than that.
After his battle with the Black-Horned Monster, only one vine escaped. He was seriously injured and could not escape far. He originally wanted to hide in the grass and recuperate for a while, but found that there was a harpy patrolling in the sky. After hiding in the east and almost being discovered several times, he hid in a deep pool under the flying spring. .
I happened to meet Li Chuan and Zhu Qingyun and his party.
Zhu Qingyun's identity surprised him. Even the black-horned monster did not dare to openly oppose the officials of Qintian Prison. As long as he hid with them, he could follow them and leave Xuanshui Mountain. When it reaches a crowded place, it will quietly leave and find a remote village, where it can eat dozens of people, recuperate, and then seek other opportunities.
It’s just that he originally came to Xuanshui Mountain with a mission, but he couldn’t deliver it when he saw it.
The black-horned monster was so ignorant that he refused his solicitation without saying a word, and even pretended to be indifferent.
So he took action first in anger.
In his opinion, the strength of the black-horned monster is not comparable to his. It is not easy for monsters to cultivate. He has been practicing for longer than the black-horned monster and has had many adventures. Moreover, although Xuanshui Mountain is black The horned monster's territory, but it still has an advantage when fighting in the mountains and forests.
Unexpectedly, the black-horned monster directly broke up his body.
Shilong Teng thought about the words of Monkey Demon and Zhu Qingyun. You can't believe what the monkey demon said, but Zhu Qingyun said that Xuanshui Mountain was once an immortal dojo, which is probably true.
No wonder the Black-Horned Monster's strength has grown so fast, it turned out to be due to this adventure.
Shilongteng is extremely jealous. If he can have the relics of the immortal, why should he be so aggressive? While thinking about it, he curled up in the broken pot. This pot is a treasure, but the speed of gathering spiritual energy is too slow. It can only suppress the deterioration of his injury, but cannot completely cure it, which is better than nothing.
The water became shallower and shallower, gradually turning into mud, and finally completely dried up.
The moonlight folded down.
Gong Er said: "It's right here, it's right here, and there is the mine in front of it."
When they were about to move forward, Zhu Qingyun reached out and stopped them.
"What's wrong?" Li Chuan asked, he was a little nervous.
Zhu Qingyun said: "There is movement."
Sure enough, then they heard a burst of busy footsteps and breathing sounds, gradually approaching in their direction. Li Chuan poked his head out slightly and could only see a black thing, shaking far away.
Zhu Qingyun's eyesight is very strong. After she saw it clearly, she said: "It's a person."
