Chapter 15: Strange Things in the Red Mansion, Dragon and Tiger Save the World (Please read and vote)
Seeing this, Yi Chen bent down, picked up the sika deer that had just died on the ground, and threw it towards the front yard of the Red Mansion. He bowed and said:
"I have strayed into this place by mistake. I don't know which immortal's temple I have offended. Could you please help me?"
"This sika deer is considered as blood food, as an apology."
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, two and a half minutes had passed.
The result was no change.
Yi Chen: “….” The negotiation failed.
Looking at the rising mist, Yi Chen was silent for a while, and silently added the source points he had worked so hard to accumulate to the spiritual attribute among the four-dimensional attributes. Then he drew out the Dragon-Slaying Sword on his back.
Even a clay man still has some temper. Since war is inevitable, he will fight to the death and fight to his heart's content. Even if he is defeated, he will splatter others with blood. Yi Chen is also a ruthless character and has the courage to fight to the death.
But before fighting desperately, he still needs to make a little preparation.
This is not the time to hide his weaknesses. The reason why he did not add the source point in advance was to allow for flexibility and maneuverability to deal with different situations.
This strange red house should be of the ethereal and magical type, and it would be most appropriate to add it to the spiritual attribute.
"Maintain troops for a thousand days and deploy them for a single moment."
"Source point, add it to me!"
As soon as the thought came to his mind, a cool breath suddenly appeared in Yi Chen's mind. In an instant, Yi Chen felt that his "spirit" had become a little stronger, and his spirit attribute jumped from 27 to 28.
There was a gleam of light in Yi Chen's eyes, and his thoughts seemed to become a little more clever.
Perhaps because he has been a human in two lifetimes, his mental strength is relatively high and now ranks first among the four-dimensional attributes.
At this moment, he looked at the strange red house in the fog again, and suddenly he felt a little clearer. The cool breath in his mind also made him calmer.
Clang! The Dragon Slaying Sword comes out!
A hot breath spread as the Dragon Slaying Sword was unsheathed, diluting the chill of the fog. Yi Chen's light purple pure yang internal energy was injected into it, and the dragon pattern engraved on the eight-sided blade of the Dragon Slaying Sword became more vivid, as if it was about to take off.
The three-foot-long lavender sword light flickered, burning the grass and trees on the ground into a charred black.
"It is worthy of being the magic sword practiced by the successive masters of Hidden Dragon Temple. The aura of pure yang is indeed strong." Yi Chen's face also lit up with joy when he saw this.
Even the colorful tiger in Yi Chen's hand began to tremble less frequently after the Dragon-Slaying Sword was unsheathed.
There's no way to hide anymore, this time you have to go to jail.
Yi Chen picked up the tiger and looked into its eyes.
"Brother Hu, would you mind exploring the way?"
Upon hearing this, the tiger widened its eyes in a very human way, and swung its body even more violently than before.
With a whoosh sound.
With the help of Yi Chen's tremendous strength, the huge body of the tiger crossed the wall and entered the front yard of the strange red house.
Puff! Dust flew up all over the ground.
As soon as it entered the yard, the tiger began to tremble like a sieve and dared not move.
Yi Chen observed outside for another two and a half minutes, and nothing unusual occurred.
At this time, the fog outside became increasingly cold. Apart from the three feet of pure yang energy around him that dispelled the cold fog, water droplets condensed due to the sudden drop in temperature could be seen on the leaves of trees in other places.
"We can't keep wasting time like this, let's go in and check out the situation." Yi Chen's mind moved, and he exerted force on his feet and leaped, following the route the leopard tiger took to enter the yard.
As for why we can't go in through the front door...
Brother Hu has already explored the way and found nothing unusual.
There is a concept in design that says, do not add entities unless necessary.
It is also suitable to use it here. Since nothing strange will happen if you go in like this, there is no need to create any complications.
Puff! Yi Chen also fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
A very strong musty smell went straight into my nose.
He looked around. The scene in the house was very different from what he saw outside. It was like entering another world.
There were many dried blood stains on the ground beneath his feet. Although they had dried for many years, they were still clearly visible. This was caused by too much blood plasma that seeped into the mud and stained the ground like a spider web.
It looks like a scar on the earth, or like the patterns of some evil ritual.
In the corner of the yard, there were many bloody wire hooks, hand hooks, anklets, and sharp knives piled up.
At the gate of the Red Mansion, there was a blood-red plaque hanging high - the Underworld.
Evil, extremely evil! As soon as Yi Chen entered the yard, his eyebrows began to throb wildly, and his spiritual sense gave him a crazy warning.
"Is anyone there?"
"Anyone there?"
Yi Chen tried calling out twice, but there was no response.
This damn place is like a huge black hole that swallows anyone it chooses. There is not even an echo.
"Brother Hu, could you please take a look inside?"
Yi Chen met the tiger's eyes again.
The tiger's eyes opened wide with an anthropomorphic expression of disbelief. He looked at the tall Taoist in front of him and continued to shiver.
Silence means consent!
Yi Chen threw the leopard tiger into the window of the red house again, and its huge body smashed the mahogany carved window into pieces.
This time, the tiger fell directly to the ground, prostrating itself on the ground, shaking like a sieve.
After observing for a while, Yi Chen jumped over the gap like a Dongguan boy.
Elegance, never out of date! What he didn't know was that since he entered the room, the blood-red plaque hanging on the door - Hades, had been dripping a line of black and red blood on the threshold.
Tick, tick.
The black blood gathered together and formed a strange "一" character.
…. ….As soon as he entered the room, Yi Chen’s eyes narrowed involuntarily.
The room in the front yard was empty, with nothing in it except three small mahogany boxes on the bookshelf.
These three small wooden boxes are brightly colored, as if they were dyed with blood.
Yi Chen once again met the eyes of Brother Hu who was crawling on the ground.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Brother Tiger, please..."
When the tiger heard the familiar beginning, its big ears drooped, covering its eyes, and it buried its head in its arms and started dancing.
Destroy it, quickly, I’m tired.
Yi Chen: “…”
Brother Tiger, you are the king of beasts, you have to stand up... This time, Yi Chen finally softened his heart and let the tiger go.
Dragging the tiger's claws to open the wooden box is too weird. It would be safer to use the dragon-slaying sword to pry it open.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword is about 1.23 meters long, much longer than the legs of a leopard tiger.
"Alas, I am always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted..."
"Another person silently shouldered everything..."
Yi Chen sighed in his heart, took the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and focused on opening the first small mahogany box.
With a click, the box opened, and nothing unusual happened. A jade plaque lay quietly in the box. The three seal characters of Longhu Mountain were written on the front. Yi Chen turned it over with the tip of his sword, and the three big characters of Zhang Jishi were engraved on the back.
"I know Longhu Mountain, it's the leader of Yue Kingdom's Taoist sect, but who is this Zhang Jishi? I'm not familiar with him..." After all, Yi Chen is not Qing Yunzi. Although he cannot be called a cultural desert, he is not well-read and learned either. After thinking fruitlessly, he gave up.
He picked up the second box, and with a click, the box opened. Inside lay a jade book quietly, with six big characters "Yin Yang Cave Divine Pupil Technique" inscribed on it.
Picking up the third box, there was a simple letter inside. Yi Chen picked it up with the tip of the sword and saw only a few short sentences: The world has changed, what is the future? My name is Zhang Jishi, I am a Taoist from Longhu Mountain. I was enlightened at the age of three, and my spirituality was overflowing at the age of eight. I awakened and saw the evil spirits everywhere in the world, and demons and ghosts were causing trouble, especially the evil ghosts. I was determined to create a method that everyone can practice, which can break the illusion and avoid danger.
I have searched the whole world, read Taoist scriptures, and spent half my life's efforts to finally create the "Yin Yang Cave Divine Pupil Technique", which can distinguish the six qi, regulate yin and yang, and distinguish between humans and ghosts. Regardless of aptitude, everyone can practice it. Under the pupil technique, ghosts and goblins have nowhere to hide, but in the end I failed.
However, it is not that the technique is flawed, but that the person lacks spiritual wisdom. It takes too long to practice this technique. It is easy to get started, but difficult to advance. It may take ten, thirty, or even a hundred years to practice it. It takes a long time, just to practice a pupil technique, and it ends up being useless.
It is tasteless to eat, and a pity to throw away, so I leave it here, waiting for the right time to come.
Unfortunately, the underworld has appeared and time is running out.
I am on this trip to suppress the underworld. Good or bad luck is hard to predict. I am afraid it will be difficult to perfect this technique.
I hope that someone with a destiny can obtain this technique and spread it to the world, gathering the wisdom of all living beings to perfect it, which would greatly comfort me.
If my trip is unsuccessful, please hand over my jade token to Longhu Mountain, and I will reward you handsomely.
Towards the end of the letter, the handwriting became increasingly disordered, as if the owner was in a hurry and finished it hastily, ending abruptly here.
Yi Chen: “….” Boss, what is the underworld? Please explain it clearly. Why does it end here? How can I get out of this damn place?
However, this "Yin Yang Cave Divine Pupil Technique" is in line with his major.
This thing is destined to be with him.
After thinking for a while, Yi Chen still picked up the tiger and let it roll twice on the jade plate, jade book, and letter. After observing that there was nothing unusual, he reached out and put the letter, jade book, and jade plate close to his body.
Not long after, a cool breath came from the jade token that he was holding close to his body. The deep red dots flashed and increased by thirty points, reaching a huge 46 points now.
Yi Chen couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Although he still didn't know what items had crimson dots and how the number was determined, being able to get thirty crimson dots for free was simply a pleasant surprise.
Unfortunately, it takes one hundred points of crimson value to break through to the seventh level of Xiao Chunyang Gong, and Yi Chen cannot rely on this to break through.
"Master Zhang Jishi, I will definitely send your jade token to Longhu Mountain in the future." Yi Chen, who had no intention of receiving favors from others, decided to go to Longhu Mountain in his spare time to fulfill today's cause and effect.
…
…
The tiger's eyes were lifeless at this time. It was lying on the ground with its belly exposed, shaking, with an expression that said, "Please kill me."
Yi Chen walked forward again and touched Tiger's head with a smile: "Brother Tiger, what's wrong?"
"Don't be afraid, let's join forces, kill people indiscriminately, and break into this damn underworld together."
"Since we are both lucky enough to survive this time, I will forgive you for knocking down my candied haws."
"I have to reserve a place for you in my Hidden Dragon Temple. What do you think?"
The leopard tiger: “…” The leopard tiger couldn’t understand human language, but it already had a bad feeling at this moment.
