"Dan Chong, have you heard of it?" Qin Yu looked at the crowd and asked.
But Qin Yu soon realized that his question was in vain, because everyone present, including Deng Wei and Du Ruoxi, looked at a loss.
"According to legend, when ancient warlocks were refining elixirs, because the success rate of the elixirs was very low, there would be some waste elixirs. These waste elixirs were discarded by these warlocks in an abandoned elixir room, which would attract the appearance of a kind of insect.
.”
"This kind of bug is called a pill bug. The pill bug is so tiny that it is difficult for ordinary people to notice it with the naked eye. These pill bugs attach to the waste pill and absorb the energy of the waste pill. Because no one cares about the waste pill, no one notices it.
"
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a warlock in a certain Taoist temple who mastered thousands of bottles of elixirs in his lifetime, and there were even more than 100,000 discarded pills. All these pills were thrown away by the warlock in the alchemy room.
Later, the warlock died, and there was a war. At that time, an army entered the Taoist temple, plundered all the valuable things in the Taoist temple, and also discovered the alchemy room where the warlock made alchemy.
This army opened the door to the alchemy room, but what they didn't expect was that what was waiting for them was not bottles of magical elixirs, but life-threatening blue bugs.
The overwhelming green insects flew out from the alchemy room. Not only this army, but also some Taoist priests in the Taoist temple were all killed in just a short moment.
"Elixir Chong, how can there be any elixir here? This is not a place for elixir refining?" the monkey asked with some confusion.
"This is the Mountain of the Queen Mother of the West. Have you ever heard of that poem?" Qin Yu looked at the monkey and read: "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and sky are my heart every night. And according to the classic records, the immortality that Chang'e stole
The medicine belongs to the Queen Mother of the West."
"That's right, since the Queen Mother of the West is the one who pursues immortality, then the Queen Mother of the West must have refined elixirs." Du Ruoxi on the side also agreed with Qin Yu's point of view.
"If we put it this way, these green bugs are elixir bugs, and elixir bugs are attached to elixirs, but these are obviously rock walls." Hou Jiu frowned and expressed his opinion.
"Yes, these are stone walls, but we have all forgotten one thing." Qin Yu's eyes flashed with light, "This line of sky suddenly turned sideways at the end of the mountain. If you think about it carefully, what do you think it looks like?"
"I understand." Jia San suddenly clapped his hands, "It's the alchemy channel. When ancient Taoist priests were refining elixirs, in addition to condensing elixirs, there would also be some liquids that had to be discharged, or some liquids had to be added temporarily.
Materials, so general alchemy furnaces will have several openings similar to channels."
"Third Master, this is too unbelievable. This is a mountain." The monkey still couldn't believe it.
"What's so incredible? Don't forget what kind of mountain this is. This is the Mountain of the Queen Mother of the West. She is the most mysterious person we have ever encountered. Aren't the scenes we experienced before so incredible?"
Jia San glared at the monkey, and then sighed: "Using the mountain as a canal is worthy of the Queen Mother of the West. What a great gesture."
Compared to Jia San's sigh, Hou Jiu was more concerned about how to deal with these pill bugs and asked: "Mr. Qin, do these pill bugs have any weaknesses?"
"Yes." Qin Yu nodded, "After all, pill bugs are born based on pills, and pills melt when exposed to water. Therefore, the disadvantage of pill bugs is that they are afraid of water!"
Having said this, Qin Yu took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, and then poured it under the monkey's left arm.
Everyone's eyes were nervously staring at the monkey's arm. It was about to be known whether the green bug was a pill bug or not.
A few seconds later, the monkey suddenly screamed in pain, "Ouch, it itches, it hurts, it hurts me to death."
While the monkey was shouting, everyone saw green bugs coming out of the pores on the monkey's left arm. However, after these bugs came out, the body squirmed a few times and then stopped.
Not moving anymore.
"It really works."
Seeing this, Hou Jiu and others showed joy on their faces. These green bugs really died after encountering the water. This proved that these bugs were really pill bugs. Of course, more importantly, they found the weakness of the pill bugs.
.
The insects came out of the monkey's arms one after another. The number was shocking, there were tens of thousands of them.
The monkey flicked his arm, and all the dead insects fell to the ground.
"Okay, it looks like you're fine, monkey."
Seeing that the monkey could swing its arms, Hou Jiu looked away from the monkey, looked at the crowd and said, "Since this pill bug is afraid of water, let's wet ourselves with water and then rush out."
Hou Jiu's idea was approved by everyone, because they had no other alternative, and there was no way that it would lead to the exhaustion of the water they brought.
Finally, Qin Yu and others poured all the water they brought on themselves, leaving only one bottle for each person.
"Walk."
Hou Jiu walked in the front and took over from the general. The pill bugs that were about to rush in suddenly stopped when they saw Hou Jiu, and then hurriedly retreated outside.
"Little bastards, it's time for you to try your magic." Looking at the pill insects escaping in a hurry, Hou Jiu had a ferocious look on his face and ran straight ahead, his body constantly shaking with the pills.
Insects collide.
With every collision, a large number of pill bugs would fall to the ground. At this moment, Hou Jiu was like a rice harvester, and these pill bugs were rice.
Of course, Hou Jiu is not the only one who plays the role of harvester. Among them, the one who does the best job is probably Monkey. He almost lost one of his arms due to the worms earlier. It can be said that the monkey hates these worms.
After exiting the cave, he took off his soaked clothes and waved them high into the air. Naturally, his body was completely wet.
The pill bugs began to retreat slowly, and Qin Yu and others did not dare to delay too much. After all, the water would evaporate. If they did not get out of this line before the water evaporated, everything would be in vain.
But this time, everyone was not disappointed again. After five minutes passed, everyone finally saw a light appearing in front of them, which meant that they were finally going to get out of this thin sky.
Qin Yu and others' expressions became excited, and they quickened their pace again. Finally, all seven people in the group walked out of this thin sky.
And just when Qin Yu stepped out of the line of sky, Qin Yu looked back and found that those pill insects flew back suddenly after they stepped out of the line of sky, without any intention of lingering.
Seeing this, Qin Yu's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.
"We finally came out. I almost thought we were going to have to explain where we were." After walking out of the sky, the monkey sat down on the ground.
"I encountered this incident just at the beginning. I'm afraid this trip will not be so smooth."
Jia San looked forward, and at this moment, others also began to take stock of the current environment. At this sight, everyone's expressions were moved.
Because, in front of everyone, there is a huge lake. The sun is shining on the lake, the breeze is rippling, and the water ripples are flowing, making people relax emotionally.
The lake is large, but it is surrounded by mountains. This is a lake that appears on the top of a mountain.
"Could this be the legendary Yaochi?" Monkey's face showed an incredulous look, "Did we find Yaochi so easily?"
"Yes, we have indeed arrived at Yaochi." Deng Wei looked at the lake with excitement in his eyes, "This is the legendary Yaochi."
"Then if we drink the water from this Yaochi, can we live forever?" The monkey licked his lips.
"It's not that easy to live forever." Deng Wei shook his head, "Yaochi is just a lake, it's just been mythologized by future generations."
As Deng Wei spoke, he walked towards the lake. Finally, he stopped when he was still three meters away from the lake.
"Unfortunately, I don't know where Zhao Yan was taken by those soldiers. There is nothing else here except this lake." The monkey looked around for a while and said with some disappointment.
"It's not like there's nothing. Come and take a look." Deng Wei suddenly waved to Qin Yu and others. When Qin Yu and others came to his side, he slowly moved a position.
"Boss Deng, what do you want us to see?"
"Look at my feet."
After Deng Wei's reminder, everyone turned their attention to Deng Wei's feet. It turned out that there was a sharp black thing where Deng Wei was standing before.
"Let's dig it out and take a look."
Hou Jiu nodded, took out the shovel from his backpack, and carefully dug around the thing. Qin Yu, who was watching from the side, nodded when he saw Hou Jiu's method.
As he really specializes in the art, Hou Jiu's each shoveling force is very appropriate, neither deep nor shallow, just right, and the force is just right. In this way, if the black thing expands towards both sides, it will not be hit by the shovel.
Destroy it.
A quarter of an hour later, this black thing revealed its true appearance.
It is still a stone monument, but the difference is that this stone monument has collapsed, and what was exposed on the ground was a corner of the stone monument.
"It's another stone tablet, Mr. San. What's written on this one can't be the same as the one below. What's the three prohibitions?" The monkey asked curiously when he saw Jia San studying the words on the stone tablet.
.
"No, but it's not much better."
After reading the bronze inscriptions recorded on the stone tablet, Jia San's expression became very solemn, and he looked at everyone, "Do you know who left this stone tablet?"
"Who?" Everyone looked at Jia San curiously, because everyone knew that since Jia San would ask this, the person who erected the monument must be a famous person in history. (To be continued)
