Chapter 945: The Origin of the Four Dharma Protectors
In just a few breaths, the cave became quiet.
"Finally gone, this thing is really lifeless! But it can grow so many corpse turtles, I'm afraid there are countless corpses in this big tomb!"
"I don't know, but these corpse turtles obviously don't want us to go down. This is just a secret passage. We haven't reached the real tomb yet. It seems that it is more dangerous there. Everyone, be careful."
Xiao Yu turned around and said something to everyone, then continued walking down.
After cleaning up the corpse turtles, there were no blocking creatures this time, so everyone moved very quickly. In a short time, they had already descended three to four hundred meters. At this height, they should have almost reached the depths of the underground.
And when they descended three hundred meters, some human bones began to appear on the ground. They were not very complete and fell everywhere, as if they had been forcibly bitten by powerful creatures.
Xiao Yu didn't dare to use fire here, because this was underground and there wasn't enough oxygen in the first place. If he used fire, it would increase the oxygen consumption.
The most important thing is that the gas in the ground has been stored for countless years. Once an explosion occurs, no matter how powerful they are, their bodies will be blown away.
Suzaku distributed the masks that had been prepared to everyone, and then took out a small bottle.
"This is a poison-avoiding pill. I asked the second elder to ask for it. Let's take one first to avoid being poisoned."
"I don't have to, even poisonous things can't poison me to death."
The ghost corpse shook his head and said.
"You are different from us, okay? You are Shura, we are mortals, we are not on the same level!"
Qinglong pursed his lips, then picked up a pill, threw it into his mouth, chewed it randomly, and then swallowed it.
"Well, Suzaku is very well prepared. The antidote of the Divine Bird Family is unique in Xuanmen."
Xuanwu also picked up one and chuckled.
"The Bird Family?"
Xiao Yu was slightly startled after hearing this. This was the first time he had heard of such a family. Could it be that it was also some hidden force?
Seeing Xiao Yu's expression of confusion, Qinglong immediately explained.
"Suzaku is a member of the Shenlaoniao family, which is also a very ancient family, including White Tiger and Xuanwu. As for me, although I am an astrologer, I am also a descendant of the Qinglong family, but it has been in decline for hundreds of years."
"If you don't believe it, look..."
Qinglong said, lifting up his shirt, and then Xiao Yu saw that there was a cyan dragon entangled on his chest. It didn't look like a tattoo, but more like a birthmark.
"Now you know why we are the four guardians. We are all related. It's just that several of our families are no longer able to survive. Bai Hu and I were both found by the alliance leader from outside. As for Xuanwu,
He is a loner, and the Suzaku family still has some influence."
Qinglong quickly explained it to Xiao Yu, and then Xiao Yu realized why they were the four guardians. It turned out that they were related to each other.
"Actually, our four great guardians should all be considered astrologers. Each of our families guards one side, representing the four guardians, facing the stars in the sky. It's just that the few of us are not as talented as Qinglong, so we haven't practiced."
Suzaku also smiled and stretched out her hand. In her palm, there was a bird-like pattern with open wings.
"So that's it, then the feather on your head is also a Suzaku feather?"
Xiao Yu had already seen the feathers on the opponent's head. He only knew that they looked extraordinary, but they were not real Suzaku feathers. He was just guessing.
"How is it possible? The Suzaku is a mythical beast. How could I have its feathers? This feather was given to my father by the Suzaku Immortal. My father gave it to me. It is a magic weapon. Anyway, it looks pretty good. Most monsters don't dare to
It's close, isn't it awesome?
Suzaku took off the feathers on his head again, looked at them in his hands, and put them back on his head.
"The same goes for me. I belong to the Xuanwu family. However, in a war, all my family members died. I was rescued by the guardian elder of the alliance. Because the person who killed my family was the Jiangtou Master, I will stay with him for the rest of my life.
I study this thing and want to avenge my family, but after decades, I still don’t have the strength!"
Xuanwu chuckled, the wrinkles on his face gathered together, looking extremely sad.
"Don't worry, Protector Xuanwu, we will definitely help you find the medicine that can break through. If you can't find it, I will also help you find a way."
Xiao Yu said solemnly.
When he didn't know it before, Xiao Yu was wary, but now it seems that they are basically orphans just like him!
But now I have parents. Although they are not biological, they have given me the warmth of home, but they have nothing.
"Haha, thank you little friend Xiao Yu. If you can go crazy again before the deadline, this life will not be in vain."
Xuanwu smiled a little sadly. She didn't even avenge the hatred of her country and her family, so she died like this. God really treated her unfairly!
Will death really come?
In Xiao Yu's opinion, Xuanwu should be the one with the longest lifespan among the four guardians, because the Xuanwu beast is a long-lived creature. How could the descendant they selected die at a young age?
From the perspective of ordinary people, seventy or eighty years old is already considered an advanced age, but to monks, this is still young. Most monks can live for more than a hundred or two hundred years, and Xuanwu should be able to live longer.
"Master, you will definitely live a long life. There must be an opportunity for you here, and you will definitely make a breakthrough."
Xuanwu's female disciple looked at Xuanwu with tears in her eyes.
This female disciple, like Xuanwu, is also an orphan, so she was accepted as a disciple. She is said to be a master and disciple, but she is like a father and daughter. Of course, she will be sad when she hears the separation.
"Let's go, it's not yet time, don't cry so early, God is fair to everyone, and Xuanwu Dharma Protector will definitely save the day."
Xiao Yu shook his head and continued walking down. After descending another hundred meters, they entered a flat underground cave. There were various strange-shaped rocks in the cave, and there was also a small river flowing.
"The underground cave, where the river goes, should be at the bottom of the cliff. So what is this place used for? It's not a cemetery, so why do we need to dig a stone staircase?"
Qinglong looked at the underground cave and said a little depressed.
This is what Xiao Yu wants to say. It's just an underground cave. Why should it be dug from the top of the mountain? This is a bit strange, or is it an escape passage?
"I think it should be an escape route, left by the craftsmen! But in the end, he probably was killed before he could escape."
Xiao Yu looked at the passage he walked through before and said in a deep voice.
"How do you know? There is a river here. You can go out along the river."
Bai Hu looked at Xiao Yu in confusion and asked with some confusion.
"Big man, you are stupid. You didn't see so many bones over there. They must have been massacred, so they all died here."
Suzaku patted the white tiger and pointed to a dense pile of bones in the distance.
The other party was right. Xiao Yu also inferred from those bones that if there was a way to survive, those craftsmen would not bother with it. Therefore, this underground river must not have flowed out, but flowed to other places.
