Chapter 264: Greedy for Spiritual Incense, Scriptures Hidden in the Clam
The water ghost smiled flatteringly and said, "The Fish Water Palace is inside. There are often strange lights flashing inside. It's just that my ability is low, so I can't get in."
This crack looks ordinary, just like a crack in the rocks under the water. It is so narrow that only a leaf can fit in. It does not look like a place for fish to live.
Gong Mengbi looked at the crack, then at the brown rocks on both sides of the crack. He reached out and gently stroked them, smiling, "Brother Boyang, did you see anything?"
Lei Boyang said, "There is life in this stone, but how can we get in?"
Gong Mengbi said: "Just let it open on its own."
Gong Mengbi pressed his hand on the rock, and fine frost immediately spread on the rock. The river water froze and the rock was frozen.
Lei Boyang showed a hint of confusion, but the next moment, he knew what Gong Mengbi was doing.
Suddenly, the rock moved, the crack opened, and a torrent gushed out, and then the rock flew out like an arrow.
Lei Boyang could see clearly that the rock there was actually a huge river clam.
When the clam shell is closed, it looks like a rock. When the clam shell is opened, it can be seen that it is a living creature.
Lei Boyang laughed: "I was wondering why it was so lively, it turns out it is a living thing."
The huge river clam fell to the bottom of the water and closed its shell again, still as indestructible as a rock.
Lei Boyang said, "Brother Mingfu, freeze it again. When it opens, we can go in and take a look."
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "Who knows what's inside? If we go in and get trapped, it would be more trouble than it's worth. It's better to fish it out to be safe."
A golden light shone from Lei Boyang's body. He tried to push the clam, but the big clam shell seemed to have taken root and did not move in the water.
Gong Mengbi walked slowly around the river clam, and through the gray and rough clam shell, he saw the spell engraved on it.
Gong Mengbi said, "This clam shell has been refined by Taoist rituals. Brute force won't be enough to achieve its purpose. Let me give it a try."
Lei Boyang withdrew his hand. Seeing that Gong Mengbi had used the same trick again, the river clam had no peace and had to spit out the air and move away to avoid the cold air.
But the moment the river clam opened its shell, Gong Mengbi picked up the small golden furnace and stuffed it into the clam shell.
The smoke is curling and the aroma is pleasant.
Lei Boyang felt relaxed and refreshed, while the water ghost was like a drunk, tossing and turning, dancing and gesticulating.
The clam shell was tightly closed, but smoke slowly leaked out from it.
Gong Mengbi's eyes turned green, and the river clam opened its shell and exhaled a puff of smoke.
The small golden stove emerged from the clam shell, and smoke surrounded the clam. The clam then flapped its shell and chased the small golden stove to the surface of the water.
Lei Boyang gave a thumbs up.
Gong Mengbi stretched out his hand and grabbed the water ghost in his hand, and put it into the lotus leaf that was holding the water ghost.
The two chased the clam to the surface of the water.
The smoke from the small golden stove was like a fishing line, luring the river clams up and down in the water.
In pursuit of the smoke, the clam suddenly spurted out a torrent of air, flew into the sky, and then landed heavily on the river bank.
When it reached the river bank, the heavy clam shell had no ability to turn over. After shaking a few times, it could no longer move.
The small golden stove fell on the edge of the clam shell, and the clam shell slowly opened, revealing the flickering white light inside.
Chen Jiayu and Wen Xiu flew to the clam shell and admired it in a low voice.
Chen Jiayu looked at the gap in the clam shell and couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to stretch out his claws to dig it out.
Gong Mengbi and Lei Boyang had already caught up, so he gave up the idea.
Gong Mengbi raised the small golden incense burner, and the fragrance from the incense burner was like a hook that opened the clam shell. He fumbled inside, took out bits and pieces, and piled them up into a small hill on the ground.
When the last thing was spit out, the clams seemed to have lost all their strength, and their shells opened powerlessly.
This clam is half alien species and half magical weapon, with a hard shell and a void inside. However, it has now been bewitched by Gong Mengbi's Taiyin Huanshen magic and can get whatever he wants.
The river clam lost its ability to resist, and Gong Mengbi took the opportunity to wash off the spell on its shell.
"It's a pity that this natural spirit seed has been worn away by the magic, leaving only this ignorant thought, which has delayed me for who knows how many years."
Lei Boyang said, "Brother Mingfu is very kind. If it were someone else, they would have already re-refined it into a magical weapon."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Heaven created all things, and virtue extends to all living things. No matter how spiritual a magical instrument is, how can it compare to a spirit? Refining the living into the dead, and the real into the fake, goes against my way of cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Lei Boyang felt indescribable admiration in his heart.
Gong Mengbi said, "Although I used the golden furnace to cast an illusion, it was able to take the bait because it was greedy for spiritual incense. The incense in my furnace is used to offer sacrifices to the gods, and it has the magical effect of nourishing the spirit."
Lei Boyang watched the clam breathe in and out, swallowing the spiritual incense in the small golden censer, and said, "Even though it has been controlled by evil magic and its spiritual nature has been worn away, it still instinctively yearns for wisdom and spirituality. Meeting Brother Mingfu is like meeting a wise master."
Gong Mengbi waved his hand and watched Chen Jiayu and Wen Xiu enthusiastically digging out the things that were spit out of the clam shell.
Many of them were scales, the shed armor of mullet fish, as hard as iron. There were also quite a few aquatic elixirs and water demon pills, presumably collected by him. The rest were mostly odds and ends, essential for daily life.
There was only one book. Chen Jiayu pulled it out and his face became gloomy.
Wen Xiu looked over curiously, but after just one glance, he was like a possessed person, unable to move his eyes away, and reached out to grab the book.
Gong Mengbi covered Wen Xiu's eyes, tapped him lightly on the back of his pillow, and said, "Wake up."
Wen Xiu shuddered and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Gong Mengbi signaled Chen Jiayu to put the book away and said, "It is the Disaster God's Law. It contains an evil curse that will lead people into demonic possession."
Chen Jiayu wrapped the two volumes of the Disaster God Law together and handed them to Lei Boyang. Lei Boyang carefully put them away and said, "Looks like I have to go back to Zhizhen Temple."
Gong Mengbi then took his hand away from Wen Xiu, and Wen Xiu was still frightened.
Gong Mengbi asked, "You broke away and apostatized, and now you can go back?"
Lei Boyang said: "Master is soft-hearted. It shouldn't be a problem for me to sneak back. I am not sure I can break the evil curse in these two volumes of disaster magic. I need to ask Master for help."
Gong Mengbi said, "Be careful. The person behind the scenes is very capable. If you are not absolutely sure, don't do this."
Lei Boyang said: "I understand."
Gong Mengbi and Lei Boyang were dividing up the spoils and divvying up Yu Yu's inheritance. At this time, Chen Xi appeared in the water.
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Tangxi is better than I thought. I have found a place to stay and will stay in Tangxi from now on."
Gong Mengbi said, "It's better to stay in Tangxi. It happens to be close to me, so we can get together often."
Chen Xi nodded and said, "You must walk more."
