Chapter 8 Chapter 8: The Land of Wyrmrest

It happened so suddenly that the ghost mother-in-law was caught off guard, and she was hit by the fat old man, unable to move.The ghost mother-in-law spat and scolded: "Tie Po Bei, thanks to you being a master of the generation, the master of the armor-removing village, you actually used such indecent methods, how shameless!" Lian Xing was startled when he heard Granny Ghost say this. Could this fat old man be the iron broken monument of one of the four great masters of Dao Dou Mo Jin? Tie Pobei chuckled, and said: "To deal with a shameless woman like you, you have to use the most indiscriminate methods."

The ghost mother-in-law cursed secretly in her heart, but there was nothing she could do for a while. Tie Pobei looked at Lian Xing, looked him up and down and asked, "Who are you, Patriarch Qianshan?" Lian Xing was startled, Tie Pobei was worthy of being one of the four great masters, and he could tell his own sect at a glance. Lian Xing replied, "It's my master." Tie Pobei frowned: "Moving the mountains and unloading the mountains belong to the same people who are in the same fight, and they share the same spirit, so we should share the good and the bad. But why did you help the ghost mother-in-law to come to this cave to attack us?" After speaking, the voice Already getting taller gradually, a murderous look was added to his sallow face.

Lian Xing heard that Tie Po Bei's tone was not kind, and thought to himself: So what if you are a great master?Is Lian still afraid of you?So he said coldly: "I have never had any contact with the ghost mother-in-law. I just met in Kaifeng City a few days ago, and that's why we came here." Wu Wantong came over from a distance, and said to Tie Pobei: "Brother, this little brother is not an accomplice of the old witch. Otherwise, I wouldn't have rescued him just now, and I would have died under the ghost of this old witch." Under the meteor." Tie Pobei nodded, the expression on his face gradually softened, and he coughed: "If you think about it, you don't know that Grandma Ghost has a deep relationship with our four major sects, otherwise, I wouldn't go with her. It's justifiable. Cough cough!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and turned to Wu Wantong: "You first detain this old witch and put her under strict guard. Then call Situ and let's discuss how to deal with it next." Wu Wantong agreed, turned around and went down with the ghost mother-in-law. Tie Pobei looked at Lian Xing, and said slowly: "Look at the Hengjiang interception move you used just now, it is stable and accurate, it seems that you have obtained the true teaching of Li Laodao." Lian Xing said: "Senior is laughing at you." Since Tie Pobei no longer spoke harshly to him, Lian Xing respectfully called him senior.

Tie Pobei coughed a few times, and said: "Since you have come to this coffin hole, you must be destined. I don't know if you have ever seen what kind of door this coffin hole has?" There was an intention to test the school in the words. Lian Xing looked around in the coffin hole, and said slowly: "This coffin hole is a place where dragons sleep." Tie Pobei was surprised, he didn't know how the boy saw that this was a dragon's lair.So he coughed dryly and said, "Tell me to come and see. Outsiders call this mountain Skull Ridge, and this hole is called Coffin Cave. Why do you say this is a place where dragons sleep?"

Lian Xing closed his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly opened his eyes, and said something, which made Tie Pobei nod repeatedly. Lian Xing said slowly: "Although this mountain is called Skull Ridge, it must have been rich in water and soil, and the vegetation was not lost. Its shape must be like the head of a dragon. A thousand feet is a momentum, a hundred feet is a line, and the momentum comes and goes. The former relative Leaning back, it is the place where the dragon rests. This dragon lays down on the ground from north to south, which is called Crouching Dragon. "This place should be the tomb of the emperor. Because of the years of floods in this mountain, heavy rains washed away, and even formed mudslides, which washed the mountain like a skull. The longan that was originally hidden in the mountain was exposed. People who don't know the mountain hunters see Therefore, it is called Skull Ridge, which must have come from this.

"As for the three hundred and eighty-four coffins in this cave, they must be the coffin array arranged by Senior Tie based on the principle of gossip. Mr. Tie, I wonder if this junior is right?" Tie Pobei nodded again and again: "Hey, I never thought that the disciple and grandson of the Patriarch Qianshan would be so good." While the two were talking, Wu Wantong and a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks came over. Lian Xing couldn't help being stunned when he saw the middle-aged man. It turned out that this middle-aged man was Situ Tianzuo whom he met in Longquan Village.

When Mr. Situ saw Lian Xing, he was also stunned, and then he smiled all over his face and said, "I didn't expect to meet my little brother here. It's a pleasure to meet you." Lian Xing smiled slightly. Situ Tianzuo said to Tie Pobei: "Master, this is the little brother I mentioned a few days ago who let his disciple go regardless of past suspicions." Tie Pobei coughed, and said: "It seems that this little brother has a lot of connections with my Xiling Sect. How about it, Junior Brother Wu, you, Tian Zuo, and this little brother will learn more about how to catch mandrills. This little brother is from the Mountain-moving faction, and we belong to the same people who are fighting against each other, so we might as well ask this little brother to help too. Cough cough!" Tie Pobei coughed twice, and said: "Just now, this ghost mother-in-law made me suffer again. It took a lot of strength, so I'll rest for a while." After speaking, he turned around and walked to the coffin, and lay down again.

Wu Wantong and Situ Tianzuo stepped forward to close the coffin lid, turned around to greet Lian Xing, and the three of them passed through the coffin array and came to the passage outside the grotto. Wu Wantong looked at Lian Xing and said: "Little brother, it seems that we don't know each other, but I didn't expect you to be a member of the Mountain Moving School." Lian Xing hurriedly said: "How dare you, the junior's little effort made the village master Wu laugh at you." Situ Tianzuo, who was standing on the side, said with a smile: "Little brother, don't be too polite. My uncle may not have seen it before, but I have seen it with my own eyes, how your ghost-slaying knife shows its power in the sword mound. Yes. Alright, our family doesn’t speak the same language, so we have no choice but to come here. I need the little brother’s help later.”

Lian Xing said: "As long as I can help, I will definitely help." Wu Wantong slapped his thigh and said repeatedly: "Okay, little brother is straightforward enough. After talking for a long time, you haven't asked little brother Gao's name?" Lian Xing said: "My surname is Lian, and my name is Xing." Situ Tianzuo nodded and said, "So it's brother Lian Xinglian. Uncle Wu, since we are a family, we might as well just talk about it." Wu Wantong nodded.Situ Tianzuo said slowly: "My master went to the west of Sichuan more than ten years ago, and accidentally offended this ghost mother-in-law. When the two fought, the ghost mother-in-law was beaten by my master until she vomited blood and left. My master was also hit by the icy and fiery palm of the ghost mother-in-law. Sometimes the person who was hit by the icy and fiery palm felt like he was in the cold winter months, and sometimes he was under the scorching sun in June. As a result, he has been lingering and ill for so many years. I kept coughing non-stop. It was rumored that my master was obsessed with female sex and neglected the affairs of the gang. We brothers and sisters searched all over the country in order to treat the master's wounds, and finally learned a secret recipe from a genius doctor in southern Anhui. The secret formula can cure the master's stubborn illness, but there are two medicines in the secret formula that are not easy to get."

Situ Tianzuo paused and said, "One of them is the Kui gentian that the little brother got." Lian Xing nodded and said: "This Kui gentian is still in my hands, and I don't have much use for it. It's better to heal the wounded master." Then he took out the dark one from the luggage on his back. Kui Gendan was handed over to Situ Tianzuo. Both Situ Tianzuo and Wu Wantong were overjoyed, Situ Tianzuo tremblingly said, "How does this happen?" Lian Xing smiled slightly, and said, "Take it as a gift from me to Senior Tie. I wonder what Brother Situ's other medicine is?" Wu Wantong sighed, and said, "This medicine is far away in the sky, but it's right in front of us." Far away in the sky, close in sight, what is it?Lian Xing's heart moved, he remembered something, and thought: Could it be it?Lian Xing looked at Wu Wantong and Situ Tianzuo, and asked, "Is what you two are talking about a giant mandrill?" Situ Tianzuo nodded, and said, "Little brother is really smart. The second medicine in the prescription given by Wannan Miracle Doctor is the brain of mandrill." Lian Xing said slowly: "I also heard from my master that mandrills are cold-brained and extremely yin. This kui gentian is the most yang, one yin and one yang, and the balance of yin and yang must be enough. Solved the ice and fiery palm in Senior Iron." Situ Tianzuo said: "That's right, what my little brother said is quite right. After my nephews and I got the news, we searched everywhere. Finally, we found out that there is a mountain in the shape of a skeleton ninety miles outside Kaifeng City. There are monsters around all the year round. The monsters described by the local mountain people seem to be mandrills. So we informed our master and came here together. In order to deceive people, we put 384 coffins in this cave. "All our brothers in Xiejiazhai have been hiding here. After more than a year of investigation, I gradually learned that the mandrills in this cave only come out two or three times a year. After they come out, they look for food everywhere, and people and animals suffer from it." The local mountain people are miserable, so they spontaneously set up two sacrificial days every year, and put some cattle and sheep in this cave to feed the mandrill, in order to be safe. "It's strange to say that mandrills haven't come out to harm the people since there was a festival day. So, after discussing this year's festival day, we all bought some sacrifices and placed them at the entrance of the cave where mandrills haunt. After everything is settled, everyone After discussing, it was decided to send a brother from the gang as a sacrifice, and then wait for the opportunity to kill the mandrill and get the mandrill's brain, so as to cure the long-term chronic illness of the teacher. Everyone drew lots to decide, and finally chose Uncle Wu." Only then did Lian Xing understand why Wu Wantong didn't care about it while the gang members in Xiejia Village at Dongkou were full of grief.It seems that Wu Wantong understands that he will be close to death if he goes here, and there is little chance of survival. Situ Tianzuo said again: "We were ambushing here, but unexpectedly we met you and the ghost mother-in-law. You even fought against the injustice for a while and rescued Master Wu." He said and smiled at Wu Wantong. Wu Wantong said with a smile: "My little brother is very grateful for his chivalrous and gentle heart." Lian Xing suddenly realized that he had rescued Wu Wantong just now, and Wu Wantong was not only grateful, but also looked at him so annoyed.Lian Xing's face turned reddish, he didn't expect that he made a mistake and did something bad with good intentions. Wu Wantong laughed and said, "You don't even have to blame yourself, brother. After all, you also cut off the mandrill's left arm, which is considered a great achievement." Situ Tianzuo said: "Now we have to use the little brother's skill to catch the mandrill in the cave together." Lian Xing nodded and said, "Since that's the case, it's not too late. Let's go quickly." Wu Wantong said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go now, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Situ Tianzuo also nodded. The three of them walked quickly into the cave.When I came to the entrance of the cave, I saw that the cave was pitch black, and the cave was still bubbling with a cold air.The burrow is slanting downwards, and I don't know where it leads. Holding a torch in hand, Situ Tianzuo boldly walked ahead.Wu Wantong and Lian Xing followed closely behind.Under the light of the fire, blood was dripping everywhere on the stone steps, and the cave was full of bloody smell.The three of them secretly guarded and walked forward step by step.At the end of the stone steps, you have come to the bottom of the cave. The burrow was even worse than the spacious hall above.There are scattered bones everywhere in the cave, some are bones of cows and horses, and some look like human bones.It must be the sacrifices eaten by mandrills. The three of them walked several feet away, facing a naturally formed stone screen that blocked them in front of them.The screen is a huge piece of bluestone, made naturally, protruding from the stone wall out of thin air, firmly blocking the gap between the caves, leaving only a very small opening, which can only accommodate two or three people to pass through.The screen divides the cave into two halves, and there seem to be faint shadows of a few blue dragons on it.The color distribution of the bluestone on the stone screen is not uniform, thick or light. From a distance, it looks like cloud shadows in the sky, and several green dragons undulate faintly in the cloud shadows. Situ Tianzuo and Lian Xing saw that the image of the green dragon on the stone screen was so vivid and lifelike, they couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Situ Tianzuo even counted them carefully. There are exactly nine green dragons on the screen, no more, no less.He couldn't help but clicked his tongue repeatedly, and said, "Brother Lian, don't you think this stone screen is a bit ingenious? It's like the Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City, hehe, no more, no less, exactly nine pieces. If you transport it outside, you'll be sure." It can fetch a sky-high price. Don't you think so, Brother Lian?" Lian Xing was surprised when he looked at the stone screen. There is probably only one such a naturally formed Nine Dragon Wall in the world, right? Wu Wantong was observing the situation in the cave. Hearing the compliments from the two, he couldn't help but walked over and said, "Let me see what the Nine Dragon Wall looks like." He walked up to the stone screen, looked it up and down, and said, "This Where there are nine dragons on the screen, there are obviously eight dragons." Lian Xing and Situ Tianzuo were startled at the same time, shook their heads, and said, "No way? I just saw nine dragons." Wu Wantong said angrily, "Uncle Master will still lie to you?" Situ Tianzuo apologized and said with a smile: "What Uncle Master said is very true." He ignored it now. Lian Xing was puzzled and couldn't help but look up. Sure enough, only eight of the nine green dragons on the stone screen just now remained, and one of them disappeared!Lian Xing's heart moved: since this cave is the place where dragons rest, the people who must be buried are emperors.In the emperor's tomb, there must be various organs ambush, and there are many unimaginable things.Lian Xing told himself not to be buried in the Skull Ridge, and to feed the giant mandrill. Wu Wantong walked in front, turned around and saw Lian Xing standing in front of the stone screen, and hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Lian, let's go." Lian Xing agreed and followed.They walked slowly along the screen wall to the place where the two caves connected.There is only one entrance that is divided into two caves on the left and right, and the rest of the cave is firmly blocked by stone screens. As soon as Wu Wantong stepped over the entrance of the cave with one foot, he felt a gust of wind blowing towards his face!It seems that some sharp weapon has struck down!
