Ju Mang frowned and said, "How could I know! How dare I get close when I see the Nine Dragons carrying the coffin? If I get too close, the Nine Dragons will attack me. With the Nine Dragons around, no fairy, devil or monster can get close to the coffin, and I can't."
After finding a solution, I thought of asking humans for help.”
This is why Jumang was unable to fish the body out by himself.
And according to what he said, the only person who can go into the water to help him retrieve his body is me.
Seeing Ju Mang hinting at letting me go into the water, Yuchen refused without thinking, "No. We don't know what it's like under the water yet. It's too dangerous for her to go into the water."
Chu Yuan also followed, "That's right. God, your information is not accurate. The snake came out to attack us just now. After entering the water, if the snake and Jiulong attack together, Lin Xi will not be able to come back."
Hearing everyone's objections, Ju Mang became anxious, "You promised to help me get my body back. Now I have told you everything. You are not allowed to go back on your word! Otherwise, I will curse you in the name of God!"
Hu Jinyue acted as peacemaker in the middle and advised everyone not to quarrel.
I thought for a moment and asked Jumang, "Shangsheng, as long as the immortal family in my hall does not get close to the coffin, Jiulong will not attack, right?"
Ju Mang nodded, "Yes, but my body is near the coffin."
I said, "Then Chu Yuan and Hu Jinyue will go into the water with me. They will wait a little further away while I go to retrieve the body. If there is an accident, they can rescue me in time even if they are underwater."
This is the best way I can think of. I can't ignore Gou Mang, and others can't get close to his body, so I have to do it. And I have the water-bending bead given to me by Yang Jin in my body, so I can breathe underwater.
There is no human being in this world who is more suitable to do this than me.
Yuchen was still worried.
Seeing that I agreed, Ju Mang no longer paid attention to Yuchen's opinion. Anyway, Yuchen is a child now and his spiritual power is blocked, so he has no ability to stop us.
Jumang urged me to get into the water quickly.
I said, "We have a way to deal with the coffin-carrying in Jiulong, but what about the snake? I can't beat the snake. If I jump down, it will be the snake's lunch."
"Little Fairy Girl, you think too bad of me." Gou Mang said, "Just now, I thought of the reason why Tangshe suddenly woke up. The black dragon is a real dragon, and he and Tangshe must be the same family.
You will wake up in the daytime only if you smell his scent. Now let the black dragon wait here and we go in by ourselves. I guarantee that the snake will not wake up."
After saying that, seeing that no one listened to him and walking into the cave, Gou Mang said angrily, "I will set an example and be the first to go in. That's all right!"
He spoke happily, but when he floated inside, he still looked nervous and cautious, staring at the big pit in the center, as if he would immediately run back if there was any movement.
Approaching the big pit little by little, Jumang floated directly above the water pool. Jumang took a deep breath, then bravely shouted at the water pool, "Tang snake!"
The child's voice echoed in the cave, and then dissipated little by little.
Until the sound completely disappeared, there was no movement in the pool. Seeing this, Jumang turned to look at me and said with a proud smile, "Is that what I said right? As long as the black dragon does not come in, the snake will not wake up.
It's still some time before dark, so come in quickly and help me get rid of my body."
I raised my feet to walk in, but Chu Yuan stopped me, "I'll go in first. I'll go into the water and check to make sure there's nothing wrong. Then you can come in."
After saying that, Chu Yuan entered the cave. He walked to the big pit and jumped directly into the pool with a pop.
While waiting for news from Chu Yuan, Yuchen told me to call Xiao Lei out.
Xiao Lei is a drowned ghost and the only water ghost in my court. Xiao Lei is not as capable as Chu Yuan, but in the water, Xiao Lei is much more flexible than Chu Yuan and can save my life at critical moments.
I nodded and called Xiao Lei over with my telekinesis.
After entering the hall, Xiao Lei changed from the lonely ghost before to the current appearance. Now he is wearing a school uniform. He is seventeen or eighteen years old, clean and fresh, and looks like an ordinary high school student.
"Xiangu." Xiaolei greeted me.
I nodded and briefly told him about going into the water later.
"During this period, I have been living on Tangkou's incense and have never done any work. This is the first time you have asked me to do something. Don't worry, I will try my best to get things done."
As soon as Xiao Lei finished speaking, Chu Yuan climbed up from the pit. He was soaked all over. He sat on the edge of the pit, wringing the water from his clothes and said to me, "Lin Xi, you can
Go into the water, the snake is sleeping."
"Okay." I responded, and as I walked toward the cave, Yuchen suddenly held my hand.
I looked back at him.
"Be careful." Yuchen raised his head and looked at me.
Maybe it's because he has become smaller, but his eyes are very bright, and the worry in his heart is clearly written in his eyes. Because he can't go into the water with me, he is a little unwilling.
I vaguely felt like I was seeing him when he was a child again. I reached out and pinched his face, "You look exactly the same now as you did when you were a child and didn't want me to leave."
Seeing that I treated him like a child again, Yuchen frowned and pushed my hand away, "When I was a child, before you were born, when did you ever see me as a child?"
"I have really seen it. I saw it in Yu Ling's memory," I said. "You were much cuter at that time than you are now. I like to pinch your face. In order to make me happy, you will take the initiative to move your face towards me.
Pinch it for me. You will often tell me that you like me."
Yuchen's expression froze, as if he had heard something incredible.
Although those are all dark history, after all, they are all things that Yuchen really did. I can understand that he is embarrassed. But now he looks surprised. What is this reaction?
I thought his reaction was quite strange. Just when I was about to ask him what was wrong, I heard Jumang from inside the cave urging me to hurry up. It was getting dark again.
I suppressed my curiosity and walked into the cave at Ju Mang's urging.
When we walked to the big pit, the water pool was calm. Chu Yuan and Xiao Lei jumped in first.
After entering the water, Xiaolei dived into the water and became invisible. Chu Yuan reminded him not to get close to the Nine Dragon Coffin.
I took off my coat and did a simple warm-up. There was still a drop of more than ten meters between the water pool and the ground, and I had no professional training. I would definitely not be able to stand jumping from this height. So I let Hu Jinyue hold me and lower me down.
The water in the pool was bone-chilling. As soon as I entered the water, I shivered with cold. When I was hit by the water, I felt that the water was cold. Now that I entered the water, I suddenly felt like I was swimming in winter.
It's so cold!
Chu Yuan swam over and asked me, "Can you bear it?"
I shivered and nodded.
It's good to move around and generate heat. The more I stay still, the colder I get.
At this time, Xiao Lei poked his head out of the water and said, "Xiangu, the Nine Dragon Coffin is inlaid on the stone wall on one side of the pool. It's not deep, so humans can dive in. The body of the God is hanging next to the Nine Dragon Coffin."
I nodded and let Xiao Lei take me down.
I have never dived, but I can swim, and I have water-bending beads. Apart from being cold, I don't feel any discomfort in the water.
Entering the water, I found that the pool was much deeper than I thought. There were many fish in the water as far as the eye could see. The water was very clear, and after swimming for a while, I could see nine white stone pillars on the stone wall on one side of the pool.
, one end of the stone pillar is nailed into the mountain stone, and the other end is carved into the shape of a dragon head. Each dragon head holds a round white bead in its mouth. The white beads are hollow, and a large iron chain passes through the middle of the white beads. Look.
It looks like an iron chain spitting out of a dragon's mouth.
On the stone pillar, there is a rectangular sarcophagus, with iron chains wrapped around it. It looks like nine dragons suppressing the sarcophagus, and also like nine dragons pulling the sarcophagus.
This is the Kowloon Coffin Carrying Array.
I was so naive, I actually thought I could really see nine living dragons down there!
Just as I was thinking about it, Xiao Lei took me to a stop.
"Xiangu, I can only send you here." Xiao Lei said, "Look, the body of the god is on the left side of the sarcophagus."
I looked along where Xiao Lei was pointing. There was a stone statue standing on the left side of the sarcophagus. The statue was about 1.9 meters tall. It was wearing an ancient robe, with long hair tied into a crown. The facial features were very blurry and could not be seen clearly.
Look.
If Xiao Lei hadn't told me, I would have thought it was just a statue. After all, I never would have thought that Ju Mang's body would be made of stone.
Xiao Lei can speak in the water, but I can't. I can only tell him with my eyes that I can't move a body made of stone.
At this time, Hu Jinyue swam over and handed me a hemp rope. He seemed to want to speak, but he forgot that we were in the water now. He opened his mouth and the water poured in.
Hu Jinyue was choked and kicked around with her hands and feet, looking like she was about to drown.
Xiao Lei quickly let go of me and dragged Hu Jinyue up to swim up.
I was speechless for a while.
Sometimes I suspect that Hu Jinyue's stupidity is fake. After all, a fox as stupid as him is hard to find in the world. How can I own one?
After sending Hu Jinyue off, Xiao Lei swam back and said to me, "Xiangu, just tie the rope to the stone statue and we will pull it."
I nodded and swam over with the rope.
I swam to the stone statue and tied it up with a rope. The process went very smoothly and there was nothing unusual. I breathed a sigh of relief, and when I turned around and was about to swim away, a scarlet eye as big as a lantern suddenly appeared.
