Knife splashing

Chapter 375: Ancient Strange Objects
"Chuqi, don't bite!"

Lu San quickly stopped the little white fox from moving.

"Chuqi" is the name of the little white fox, because the day he was adopted was the seventh day of the first lunar month, and the falcon is called "Lidong".

"Villain! Villain!"

Wu Ba, who was standing nearby, saw this and became furious.

"Keep your voice down!"

Lu San quickly turned around and gave instructions, then picked up the struggling "Jingren" from the little fox's mouth.

After questioning the little fox "Chuqi", Lu San learned that it was this "Jingren" who had just been secretly spying on them and was discovered by the little fox.

Before the opponent could burrow into the ground, he caught it in his mouth.

Lu San picked it up in his hand and examined it carefully, only to find that although this little thing was called "Jingren", it was still somewhat different from a human.

He has thick hair on his body, wears clothes made of rags, is barefoot, has a small jade piece around his neck, and holds a small jade sword in his hand.

Its facial features are more like those of a rat, and it has a pair of protruding fangs.

The most special thing is that there is always a smell of incense on its body!
"Jingren, live and serve the gods..."

Lu San remembered what Wang Daoxuan had said before, and vaguely understood something in his heart. He quickly made some hand gestures and muttered something in the upper language.

The little man who was originally struggling immediately stopped moving and began to respond in the same language.

Listening to the other party's words, Lu San's face became more and more shocked. He hurried to the side of the stairs, looked at the ancient ruins, and murmured: "How is it possible..."

.........

Hululu~
The water surged rapidly, and Li Yan quickly held onto the stone wall.

His face looked grim. He didn't expect the underwater undercurrent to be so violent, complicated and irregular.

Even though he used the Xuanshui escape technique, he was almost blown away.

No wonder the monster asked Master Crocodile and Old Ancestor Donghu to come down to look for things. Only their size could prevent them from being washed away by the undercurrent in the water.

After calming himself down, the first thing that caught Li Yan's attention was the stone wall on which he was clasping his hands.

A little different from the outside, the underwater stone walls are stacked layer by layer, forming neat patterns, and the color is lighter, even a bit like jade.

It looks like this stone wall has grown out like tree rings.

Li Yan frowned slightly, a little confused, and then looked around.

The undercurrent in this underground river is very fierce, but it is not the biggest problem for him.

There was no light in the water. Even with his amazing eyesight, he could only see three feet below the water surface by the light of the fire above.

Further down or further away, it was pitch black.

Not being able to use his ability to smell underwater was no different from losing his eyesight.

Although he still has the power of hearing, his power of hearing is mainly used to understand the language of ghosts and gods. After it is activated, his ears are filled with the rumbling sound of water.

Neither Master Tuo nor the East Lake Patriarch were anywhere to be seen at this moment.

Li Yan had no choice but to hold on to the stone wall to steady his body and slowly move towards the stone platform where the monster was.

His plan is simple.

No matter where the troll master dives underwater, he will have to come ashore with the jade cong in the end to report. He only needs to lie in ambush nearby and take the opportunity to knock off the coffin on the troll master's head to rescue him.

Thinking of this, Li Yan became more cautious.

At this moment, he used the Xuanshui Escape, and the aura around him merged with the water. As long as he didn't take any action, those monsters would not be able to detect him.

Not long after, he came to the stone platform, huddled in a corner, stared at the water, and waited quietly.

Suddenly, an undercurrent surged underwater in the distance.

I saw the crocodile rising from the dark bottom of the water, and its huge body moved towards the shore, making the undercurrent even more turbulent.

Li Yan quickly steadied himself and stared at the coffin above the other person's head.

When you get closer, you can see more clearly.

This coffin was almost exactly the same as the one he had seen in Zigui County, and it was equally old and covered with verdigris.

The Ghost Cult of the Great Song Dynasty was headed by Master Huang Liu in Ezhou at the time. He had countless disciples and three great masters under his command, namely Tongtian Sanniang, Meng Gongshi, and Huang Sanlang.

The one in Zigui County was Luo Xing, a disciple of Tongtian Sanniang.

According to records, except for Tongtian Sanniang who is missing, all others have been beheaded. But now that Huang Liushi has returned to life, who knows whether Meng Gongshi, Huang Sanlang and other evil people are really dead.

No matter who it is, the thing lying in the coffin has practiced the "Water God's Longevity Technique".

The biggest drawback of this evil practice is that one must lie in a coffin for the rest of one's life, and one must also build temples and shrines, steal incense and burnt offerings, and preserve the soul.

There must be an evil temple hidden by the other party near Xiangyang!
Staring at the Crocodile Master who was getting closer and closer, Li Yan's whole body gradually tensed up. As soon as the other party got close, he would immediately jump onto the bronze coffin and use the soul-catching thunder rope to beat the thing inside to pieces.

But just as he was about to take action, Li Yan quickly stopped, cursed in his heart, and carefully hid his body.

However, it was the East Lake Patriarch who also swam up, using his strong hind limbs and flippers to step onto the water, and followed closely behind the Alligator Master.

Li Yan had no choice but to continue hiding.

This terrifying old monster, if measured by human level, would be at least four or five stories tall. Even with his thunder magic, he would not be able to defeat it.

Unless you summon the soldiers of the underworld.

Even if we use this trump card, we must rescue Master Tu first.

Boom boom boom!
Just like before, Master Crocodile relied on his strong limbs to climb up the stone platform, and his sharp claws scratched the stone wall, causing gravel to fly everywhere.

Several rocks flew out and fell into the water.

Li Yan picked one out casually, with some surprise in his eyes.

After the stone skin on the surface of the surrounding stone walls was broken, the stones inside were all white and as delicate as ceramics.

This kind of strange mineral was the first time he had seen it.

The crocodile master was controlled like a puppet. After spitting out the huge jade cong from his mouth, he turned over and jumped into the water, splashing huge waves with a loud bang.

Li Yan was hit by the waves and his body swayed from side to side.

Next came the East Lake Patriarch.

This big toad was even more powerful. It kicked its legs hard and jumped out of the water. It landed on the stone platform, spat out the jade cong in its mouth, and turned over and jumped into the water again.

The surging waves caused Li Yan to sway again.

However, he no longer cared about these.

Not far away in the water, the East Lake Patriarch had turned around, staring at him with huge blood-red pupils, motionless.

exposed!
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and prepared to jump ashore first.

But something strange happened to him.

The East Lake Patriarch did not take any action, but nodded slightly, twisted his body, and dived into the dark water again.

Li Yan understood instantly that this old monster wanted to rebel!

Judging from what happened just now, the Donghu ancestor should have been hit by some kind of terrible witchcraft, and the magic weapon that controls it is in Tan Yuner's body.

The other party was hoping that he would cause trouble so that they could take the opportunity to regain their freedom.

After seeing the situation clearly, Li Yan felt more confident and hid under the water without moving, waiting for the next crocodile master to come up...

……

At the same time, Lu San was also taking action.

He took out a leather bag from his bosom, grabbed a handful of powder, and sprinkled it on all the pets and Wuba.

This thing is called "Cangxing Powder". It is a secret recipe passed down to them by Mr. Lin, a treasure hunter from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is made from the ashes of "mandrill hair" and "lichen", and can eliminate body odor.

After doing all this, the group tiptoed through the stairs and headed down, with the "Jingren" running in front to lead the way.

After going down five floors in a row, "Jingren" suddenly stopped, turned around and ran into a cave next to it.

Lu San and Wu Ba followed in and looked around.

This seemed to be a prison, with rows of wooden frames with pairs of holes on them. More than a dozen skeletons had their heads and hands trapped in them, all lying on the ground, with chains on their ankles.

On the other side of the wall and on the wooden rack, there were all kinds of strange torture instruments, some of which were made of bones, some of which were made of stones, and were covered with dust.

Lu San was a little confused, but ignored it.

He didn't know that this was not a prison, but a place used to detain prisoners of war and perform human sacrifices.

Jingren bounded and led them through the cave to a nearby room, where he jumped on a rotten fur rug.

Lu San immediately understood, walked forward and lifted the fur, dust flew up, revealing a large wooden board.

When the wooden board was lifted, a big hole appeared.

This hole is also a bit strange. It seems to be formed naturally. The inside is very smooth and has a white ceramic texture.

Lu San gritted his teeth and jumped in. Although the little fox and Wu Ba were afraid, they followed closely behind.

The passage sloped downward, and they slid straight down, their speed increasing faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, they rolled out of the exit.

After Lu San stood still, he immediately looked around, his eyes full of shock.

This is a ceramic stone chamber, which is very irregular and seems to be naturally formed. It is densely packed with honeycomb-like holes.

And in all the holes, there was a "Jingren" standing, waving a small jade sword and looking at them with horror on their faces.

It was as if in an instant, I had entered the land of Lilliput.

“Chirp…”

The "Jingren" who led the way hurried forward, gesticulating, then pointed at Lu San and shouted loudly.

Lu San also made some hand gestures and spoke the upper language.

After a conversation, an old man walked out from the "Jingren", wearing a jade crown and holding a jade scepter, and walked forward with Lu San.

Soon, they were brought to another stone chamber.

The material here is also that kind of ceramic, but there are no honeycomb holes. There is only a human corpse lying on the ground. Looking at the wide robe and jade crown, it is actually the style of the Qin and Han Dynasties!
On the walls, there are exquisite murals painted with paint.

The paintings are also extremely amazing.

They were a group of ancient people wearing furs, probably the Fuxi clan, holding torches and weapons, moving around in the cave.

Later, they discovered a giant clam in the mountains, and dug out stone chambers of various sizes on both sides of the clam...

This is why Lu San was shocked.

The entire relic turned out to be a giant clam from the wilderness!
When this thing was alive, it must have been a great demon with astonishing power, far beyond common sense, and perhaps even existed earlier than the ancient ancestors.

Perhaps this area of ​​Mount Xian was the inland Yunmeng Lake in an even more ancient period. As the world changed, the bodies of the giant clams were buried in the mountains, and an underground river happened to run through the cracks.

What’s more important is the latter.

The people of Fuxi clan jumped into the water and found a huge pearl at the deepest part of the underground river. The pearl was as big as a building and there was a cavity inside.

Their leader was sitting cross-legged inside, with clouds rising above his head, and mountains, rivers, swamps and various strange beasts appearing.

Lu San frowned.

This picture seems to be somewhat similar to the one in Changsangzi's stone chamber. The "Four Evils" also have smoke coming out of their heads, and they can eventually turn into ferocious beasts.

The scene that follows is a bit creepy.

The people of Fuxi clan built a waterwheel on a stone platform, and used the power of the underground river to pull up the Pearl Stone Chamber.

But if the pearl is out of water for a short time, its luster will fade.

So they made eighteen jade congs as the opening mechanism. Every time they did it, they had to kill people for sacrifice, and then the wizard would enter the stone chamber.

It seems like he is practicing, and it also seems like he is receiving instructions from God...

These pictures are simply bizarre.

Lu San just glanced at it a few times and ignored it.

Compared with Li Yan, he was not very interested in these things. He was more concerned about how to create chaos and help Li Yan buy time.

The leader of the "Jingren" did not explain much, but used the method of escaping underground to drill in and out of the wall of the stone chamber.

Click!
A crack suddenly appeared in one wall.

Lu San hurried forward, gently pushed the door open, and found that they had actually entered the temple near the monster.

Not far outside, there was the skin used to capture "Jingren".

Lu San retreated slowly without making a sound, and carefully took out a fire caltrop from the bag behind Wu Ba.

This thing was made by Sharifi and uses a new type of gunpowder. It is incredibly powerful, but you must be extremely careful when using it...

…………

After waiting for another two incense sticks, Master Crocodile swam out from the bottom of the inky black water again and climbed towards the shore.

The opportunity has come!

Without saying a word, Li Yan suddenly burst out with his hidden strength and leaped out.

His move was very sudden and he jumped onto the crocodile master's head in an instant.

"Enemy attack!"

The Xuanshui escape stopped and was immediately discovered.

"It's you who dares to seek death!"

Qin Yun'er suddenly became annoyed and waved her hand. Suddenly, dense swarms of poisonous mosquitoes flew out from the leather bag around her waist.

There were also a few monsters who actually raised their magic fire guns.

This is also what Li Yan is afraid of.

The other side not only had a large number of people, but also had masters sent by the Tiansheng Sect to help, using the magic fire guns snatched from the Duwei Division.

Under the volley of bullets, he had to escape no matter how powerful he was.

Bang!
At this moment, Lu San suddenly rushed out from behind.

He raised the bone flower and shot the man holding the "Jingren" skin bag in the head. Then he swung it and shot the other man's brain burst, then picked up the skin bag and ran away.

"catch him!"

Immediately, more than a dozen people rushed towards Lu San.

But at this moment, Wu Ba suddenly appeared again, his face full of panic, holding a burning caltrop and throwing it directly, then grabbed Lu San and rushed into the temple.

boom!
There was a loud bang, and flames surged on the stone platform.

Some monsters were blown to pieces, while others were engulfed in flames. The huge shock wave spread out, throwing Qin Yuner and others far away and crashing them hard into the stone wall.

The crocodile master who was lying on the stone wall on the shore was also thrown away by the terrible shock wave and fell heavily into the water.

"Oh shit!"

Li Yan cursed inwardly and was almost thrown away.

However, the dense black hair on the bronze coffin had already entangled his lower body and had not yet escaped from the crocodile master's head.

Hululu~
There was the sound of water rushing in my ears and everything was pitch black in front of me.

Li Yan couldn't see anything clearly, so he just ignored it and pressed down with both hands suddenly, and the Soul-Hooking Lock whizzed out.

Zizizi!
Instantly, lightning flashed in the water, the black hair turned into ashes, and the white film on the crocodile master's eyes also shattered into pieces...
