Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Juan was ready to go home.
Not far from the strange pond, Liu Juan heard crying from behind. When Liu Juan looked back, he saw that Xuanwu had woken up and was crawling slowly behind him. Maybe he couldn't keep up with him, so he burst into tears.
Liu Juan couldn't help but smile bitterly, so he had to stand still and slowly wait for it to crawl over.
But he climbed slower than a snail, and Liu Juan shouted to him: "Hurry up, please!"
Unexpectedly, Xuanwu was so frightened that he cried loudly. He stopped crawling and stood there crying.
Liu Juan's head was covered with black lines, so he had no choice but to walk back and ask: "Xuanwu, can you change? Make yourself smaller. I will carry you."
Xuanwu looked at Liu Juan with his huge eyes, and Liu Juan said: "Good Xuanwu, if your eyes are wrong, please make it smaller, or become -."
Liu Juan pointed at the stone, and Xuanwu seemed to understand what Liu Juan meant. A burst of red light flashed, and Xuanwu turned into an eight-meter-high boulder.
Looking at the huge stone, Liu Juan had the urge to cry.
There was no other way. He pointed at a small stone again. Xuanwu understood this time. A burst of red light flashed and a two-meter-large stone appeared in front of Liu Juan. Liu Juan thought that there was no way. He was carrying such a stone on his back.
It didn't look like it. He looked up and saw a straight branch. He had an idea, pointed at the branch and said: "Xuanwu, it has become like this."
The red light flashed, and a Xuanwu rod appeared. However, it was the size of a vegetable bowl and Liu Juan couldn't hold it. Liu Juan shouted: "Good Xuanwu, make it smaller, make it smaller."
Xuanwu behaved this time. After a while, a stick as thick as a teacup appeared. Liu Juan was overjoyed and danced with it for a while. Xuanwu did not cry, but laughed.
The system suddenly prompts:
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the holy demon weapon, Xuanwu Tianji Rod, but the host's level is too low and cannot be used.
Just because it can't be used now, doesn't mean it won't be used in the future. Seeing that Xuanwu couldn't get any thinner, Liu Juan picked it up on his shoulder.
Since there was no map, Liu Juan didn't know how to get out, so he had to rely on his memory of Huaguo Mountain in "Journey to the West 3", where he found that he had reached a huge quagmire.
Those sludges have existed for thousands of years. As long as any living thing steps on it, it may become deeply trapped in the sludge and then be swallowed up by the sludge.
When he arrived at the quagmire, Liu Juan rarely spoke, always paying attention to possible dangers.
Above much of the sludge, there are colorful miasma lingering.
Those miasmas contain highly poisonous gases, many of which are extremely poisonous. Generally, as long as you take a whiff, your whole body will rot and die soon.
In addition to the swamps and poisonous miasma, this place is also full of monsters like the forest!
The monsters living here have already adapted to the mire and can often hide in the middle of the mud. When creatures pass by, they will suddenly emerge from the mud and attack the creatures that come and go.
Liu Juan never made it through the quagmire. He retreated and was lucky. Unexpectedly, he met the Kung Fu Panda who was looking for him.
Kung Fu Panda first looked at the stick, then looked at the crystal skull in Liu Juan's hand, and asked, "What are you doing with this? It's called the "Death Skull," and does the ape-man use it to "determine life and death"?"
Liu Juan didn't expect that Kung Fu Panda knew so much.
Kung Fu Panda added: "The apes say it is a 'miraculous doctor'. In fact, it has many uses, but healing is the most important. In fact, for the apes, death itself is sometimes regarded as a form of recovery.
For ape-men, death is the ultimate road to other realms, and those realms are what they yearn for. The crystal skull is a tool used to help them reach that realm."
Liu Juan was surprised when he heard this. He thought about whether he could return to the real society with this thing.
However, Liu Juan is not very courageous and will not take risks if he is not sure.
"Let me tell you how it is used in rituals to determine life and death." Kung Fu Panda said: "A long time ago, an old Taoist priest who was too old to work anymore chose an ape-man to replace him.
The old Taoist priest lay there, and the young man knelt beside him. Both apes put their hands on the crystal skull. During the ceremony, all the knowledge and wisdom were passed along the skull from the old Taoist priest to the young man.
Then the old Taoist priest dies and will never come back. This is the ritual to determine death."
Liu Juan knew that this was a method of inheritance. It had been mentioned in some books and had been shown on TV.
