Volume 1, Five Elements, Chapter 45, Eight Heavenly Kings
A lake of boiling water, even if Cui Qi practiced Ba Zhe Luo Waigong, he might not be able to withstand it if he didn't carry the water-dividing beads lent to him by Pinellia ternata in his arms.
The water-dividing beads are the "eyes" of the monsters in the water. There are only two in Shendu, but there is one in Regulus Pinellia, which shows that the God Emperor attaches great importance to them.
Cui Qi dived to the bottom of the lake and groped for a while. He didn't know how long it took, but suddenly he felt something cold...
You know, to be able to boil a lake of water, the temperature of the big pot at the bottom of the lake must be extremely high. But now, there is something, like ten thousand years of ice, which has been boiled for so long, and is still bone-chilling.
There must be a monster when something goes wrong, so Cui Qi hurriedly took advantage of the situation and dug up more sand.
Cui Qi hugged the cold ice knot, which made him sure of one thing. What he held in his arms was not Wanzai Xuanbing, but a chain, a chain that was very thick and difficult to wrap around.
Cui Qi was always cautious when doing things. He did not rush to dig down, but took the chain as the center and patiently looked through the surrounding area of more than ten feet.
In addition to the bones of dead fish and rotten shrimps, Cui Qi was lucky enough to touch another piece of ice.
Cui Qi was a little excited, not because his work was not in vain, but because the coldness in his hands confirmed what he was thinking.
In the year 33339, the great master of the demon clan used the divine needle, the nine locks, and the energy of gold and fire to seal the nine tails of the demon fox.
Now that he has found two chains, he will find seven more chains and the magic needle. The sealing technique from thousands of years ago is now displayed in front of his eyes.
Tianyige has practiced the sealing technique for half a year and carved countless spells, but all failed. If the real thing is right in front of him, he may be able to feel the context and complete the sealing technique.
If Cui Qi hadn't guessed that this place was the place where the Nine-Tails was sealed, how would he have agreed to Ye Qiu's going into the lake to kill the monster? He was not a cat, and he didn't have nine lives to fight with a big monster who didn't know how to practice for tens of thousands of years.
Cui Qi followed the iron rope and touched the rusty magic needle that was difficult for many people to wrap around, as well as seven other chains. And on one of the chains, Cui Qi actually found a crack...
Fine cracks extend to the bottom of the water.
Cui Qi touched the cracks on the iron rope and was secretly surprised. If it was really a powerful sealing technique that existed thousands of years ago, why was it that the other eight iron ropes were fine but only this one happened? Isn't it a bit too coincidental.
Just as he was thinking about it, Cui Qi suddenly felt a light touch in his hand, and the iron rope disappeared into nothingness.
"No, everything happened to me today." Cui Qi cursed in his heart, but suddenly felt a huge suction force, dragging him to the bottom of the lake where the chain disappeared.
The hole left by the disappearance of the iron rope is enough to swallow Cui Qi. In addition, the mud and sand mixed with the lake water are threatening him. Even if Cui Qi has the ability of Bai Tiao in the waves, it may be in vain.
Cui Qi felt that the world was spinning, and he didn't know how deep the iron cable went into the ground...
"It's over, it's over. I didn't die at the master's hands, I didn't bury my bones in the death corridor, and I didn't even get buried in the belly of a fish. I just died like this in a cowardly, confused way... Could it be said that it's really the same fate as the person?"
Suddenly Cui Qi felt his body become light, and the next moment he felt as if he had fallen into a charcoal brazier. It was so hot. It turned out that there was a flaming mountain under Laoye Sea, and there was a twisting flaming cave in the flaming mountain.
Being in a flame cave is like a duck thrown into a pit by a cook for roasting. It won't take long for it to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Cui Qi landed very lightly, not only because his feet were very hot and there were a lot of gravel, but also because he felt unsure. Being locked in a cage with a monster that had lived for tens of thousands of years was a very bad feeling. Because that guy
eat human.
The flame hole in Cui Qi's eyes was actually more like a karst cave. The stalactites hanging above his head looked like bamboo shoots that grew upside down. Suddenly, Cui Qi's feet were halfway down, and his eyes were staring at the corner in the distance for a moment.
.
He saw light, and even saw the huge shadows of many tails reflected in the cave.
Cui Qi held the long knife tightly and held his breath, like a hunting leopard touching the nine tails in the distance. But when he came to the corner and poked his head out, he saw a scene that surprised him.
In a spacious cave, there are several pillars that are difficult to surround, as well as stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds. Although it is simple, it can be regarded as a cave residence.
In the cave, there was an old man with no hair, skinny as a stick, and scarlet vertical pupils. He was holding a fan made of rag strips in his hand. He was fanning it vigorously to dispel the inexorable heat.
.
Whenever the fan is waved, the floating rag strips are like the swaying tail of a monster...
Suddenly, the old man turned around and grinned in the direction of Cui Qi.
"Someone finally came to this damn place. My hard days of guarding the monsters are coming to an end."
Cui Qi didn't know what was going on, but since everyone was talking, he couldn't hide his face and let others laugh. He had to stand up and stand a few feet in front of the old man, bowing and saluting.
"Senior, please forgive me for trespassing on this treasured land by mistake."
The old man put down his fan and looked at Cui Qi with a frown: "What flows in your blood is not the pure blood of my Xuanyuan bloodline. I remember that the Xuanyuan family's ancestral precepts clearly stated that our clan is not allowed to intermarry with humans."
Cui Qi was a little surprised when someone revealed his identity. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at the old man in front of him carefully...
With a square face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he must have been a handsome man when he was young. Now, I can only say that he looks pretty pleasing to the eye...
"Haha, bastard, bastard."
"Old immortal, why are you still guarding me? Why don't you go out and see what your unfilial descendants have done."
Jie Jie's strange laughter came from all directions, but the old man snorted coldly: "Nine tails, you took advantage of me and destroyed a seal lock, and you thought you could escape."
"dream."
Being so disturbed by the monster, Cui Qi had no intention of looking at the skinny old man. Instead, he turned his head and looked around, fearing that a bloody mouth would come out of the holes extending in all directions.
Seeing the cautious look of the young man, the skinny old man couldn't help but said with a straight face: "How can you be so timid? The nine tails have been suppressed for thousands of years and have long lost their former glory. They just exhausted their cultivation and broke the seal lock. Now they are just
Just a poor little fox."
Cui Qi had learned the skills of the Nine-Tails half an hour ago, so he couldn't help but have a look of suspicion on his face as he was not willing to believe the old man's words.
When the skinny old man saw this, he couldn't help but said angrily: "I, Xuanyuan Hengtong, is the Eight Heavenly Kings under the Emperor. How dare you not believe what I say."
Cui Qi saw the old man yelling and glaring angrily, but he still refused to move and took two steps. He couldn't help but look at the pair of legs that looked like hemp poles in confusion.
"Senior, it's not that I don't believe it, it's just that the demon fox..."
Xuanyuan Hengtong said coldly: "It's just that, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Come here and do as I say, and you will definitely kill that little fox."
How dare Cui Qi go there? What if the old man uses him as a tonic? He couldn't help but smile and said: "Senior, just give me your orders, I'm all ears."
Xuanyuan Hengtong's face turned cold, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Why, are you afraid that I will eat you?"
"Boy, don't listen to that old immortal's nonsense. He didn't eat as many people back then. I'm afraid I don't eat as much as he did." Jie Jie's strange smile came again.
Cui Qi has been in the Corridor of Death for many years, but he has never heard of the Xuanyuan clan cannibalizing people, but he doesn't believe what Nine-Tails said.
But at this time, Xuanyuan Hengtong glared and said: "You damn fart. I am one of the eight heavenly kings. I am not bragging. I have eaten everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water. But I just don't."
Eat two legs."
At first glance, the old man had a hot temper. Cui Qi hurriedly smiled and said: "King of Heaven, I believe in you..."
Xuanyuan Hengtong said coldly: "Don't you believe it? Come here now, memorize the map on the stone table for me, then go back and kill the little fox."
Cui Qi smiled bitterly and said: "King of Heaven, my cultivation level is not higher than Tianshu realm, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat..."
Xuanyuan Hengtong blew his beard and glared: "Do you think the emperor's seal lock can be broken by just blowing on it? The nine tails are at their weakest now, and it takes advantage of its illness to kill it. I don't need to say more."
Cui Qi hurriedly smiled and said, "What you always said makes sense."
"It makes sense, so why don't you hurry up and come here? You're just wasting your time by dilly-dallying."
Cui Qi hurriedly accompanied Xiao to the stone table. He placed his hands on the edge of the stone table and inadvertently glanced at Xuanyuan Hengtong's as dry as a rat's paws and the ragged steps below.
"What are you looking at?" Xuanyuan Hengtong hurriedly put his hands behind his back.
Cui Qi smiled awkwardly, frowned, and looked carefully at the so-called Flame Cave map in front of him.
The reason why I frown is not because the map is twisted and twisted, and it is difficult to memorize the ghost-like map. Nor is it because Xuanyuan Hengtong next to me keeps blowing. It’s because the edge of the stone table is too sharp and cuts my hands.
"Remember? Why haven't you remembered? Do you have a wooden head?"
"I have never seen such a stupid person..."
Cui Qi smiled awkwardly: "King of Heaven, you must have the ability to reach heaven and earth. How about I help you guard a third of an acre of land, and you will kill the little fox yourself."
Xuanyuan Hengtong glared angrily and said: "Fuck you, if I can move now, why would I need help from an idiot like you? Hurry up, if you push me further, I will be rude."
Cui Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head, reaching out his hand and gently touching the ghostly symbols...
The flame cave is connected in many twists and turns, and is extremely complicated. Even if you have a photographic memory, it would take you a long time to understand it all.
Cui Qi obviously did not have such a head, so he moved the stone bench, pondered carefully, and kept pouring it into his mind. In order to prevent himself from misremembering, he also sat on the stone bed, picked up a stone, and silently drew a map on the ground...
…
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Hengtong on the side urged impatiently: "You have been chatting for more than an hour. Do you need me to give you some enlightenment?"
Cui Qi's eyebrows connected with each other from far away, and his face turned red as he said: "King of heaven, don't worry, there is only half an hour left..."
"Half an hour, half an hour the day lilies have been cold. Boy, don't you feel the temperature in the cave is dropping?"
Cui Qi raised his head in slight surprise. He was too focused just now and didn't notice the changes in the cave. But now, he felt that the alchemy furnace had turned into a charcoal furnace, and the temperature was much lower.
"King of Heaven, what is going on?"
Xuanyuan Hengtong said fiercely: "The little fox has released all the fire energy in order to destroy the seal lock, and now it is sucking it back with all its strength. When it is full..."
