Volume II, Xuanhai Immortal Mountain_Chapter 211, Negotiations
The sharp sound of the rope rubbing, I reached out and touched my pocket, only to find that I didn't bring a cigarette, and when I sighed slightly, I didn't expect Sha Lao to hand over a cigarette, I snapped my fingers, and a small pinch of fire came out of my hand.
"What do you want to do?" The youkai leader next to him asked vigilantly.
"Smoking, haven't you seen this thing? Why don't you take a bite? I held up my cigarette and teased it.
It quickly turned its head and said angrily, "This thing is poisonous, don't you know?" Human beings are terrible, knowing that they are poisonous but still not quitting. ”
"Hehe, don't force you humans all day long, you're not human."
The meaningless bickering passed the time for a moment, and when the slow lifting platform finally reached the end, four cigarette butts had fallen on the lifting platform. I walked out of the lifting platform, the roar of the surrounding demons was even more crazy, and I couldn't hear what the people around me were talking about, until a low roar came, echoing in the entire demon mountain, and the roar of the demons disappeared in an instant, and the entire demon mountain was immediately quiet as if I could hear my own heartbeat.
"Follow me." The youkai leader took the lead, and when he stepped out of the platform, he saw a huge hollow cave at the end of the road, which had been hollowed out in the belly of the mountain. Inside the door was dark, vines and damp mosses crawled all over the walls, and there was a dancing fire coming out of the cave, and I snuffed out the cigarette butt in my hand on the wall and followed the group inside.
The cave is huge, about the size of half a football field in front of and behind it, and you can hear the sound of water flowing in the cave, and there are torches hanging on the walls around it, but the fire is not very bright. Something seemed to be moving in the dark, but I couldn't see clearly, and as soon as I walked into the cave, I felt sick, like being stared at by many pairs of eyes at the same time.
Directly in front of the cave, I saw a spring of water, which was so clear that even in the cave where the light was not bright, I could still see the rushing waves. Next to the spring is a huge pile of stones, which I can't find any other words to describe its shape, but when you look closely, it looks like a throne, but the shape is rough, and you can see that it has not been forged.
And the demon king we had seen before was sitting on this stone pile, or rather lying down, with one foot on the other side of the stone pile, lying on his side, supporting his head with his hands, and his lizard-like tail hanging down to the ground.
When he saw us, he said, "You want to talk, I let you in." But if it's something I'm not interested in, don't go. Before it could finish speaking, something seemed to his......s in the darkness, like a snake, but it was hidden in the shadows, swimming back and forth.
Sha Lao took a few steps forward, and Yi Er wanted to follow, but saw Sha Lao wave his hand and let Yi Er stay where he was.
"I know that this demon mountain was not originally owned by you, this place is the dojo of the Beidou Tianzun, and its name is Qiru, which is an immortal mountain! I also know that you don't control the entire Immortal Mountain, because there is one place you can't enter! And this place you can't get into, I can get in! Sha Lao said three words, and suddenly the demon king on the opposite side was aroused, it sat up straight suddenly, and the green light in its eyes flickered in this dim hole, which made people can't help but show timidity and fear in their hearts.
"Your words are funny." The demon king reached out and grabbed the corner of the stone, and then gently pinched, easily broke the stone, and then threw it at Sha Lao, Sha Lao did not dodge, at the moment when the stone was about to hit him, I shot from behind, and the golden line crossed Sha Lao's front and cut the stone into pieces.
"Sha Lao, you're hiding." I stood beside him and whispered.
"You can't hide at this time."
The demon king laughed strangely and said, "You didn't tell a lie, and those with weak hearts will avoid death." ”
"What the fuck does this have to do with half a dime?" In my heart, I expressed deep contempt for the head of the demon king.
"This is indeed a fairy mountain, a thousand years ago I came from the other side of the sea with my men and found this mountain hidden in the storm. At that time, there was no life here except plants, and I and my men made this our territory. But you're right, there's one place we can't get into. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed upward, in fact, I felt strange on the lifting platform in front of me, because the lifting platform did not lead us to the top of the demon mountain, but stopped about two-thirds of the way. The demon clan has a very clear relationship between superiors and subordinates, which is like a wolf pack, the right to mate, and the first bite after hunting must be given priority to the wolf king. The Demon King must have lived at the highest point in this mountain, but it was only two-thirds of the way to the mountain, so what about the higher places? What will it be? I wondered at the time, but now I understand it.
"The Dojo of the Big Dipper Heavenly Venerable is at the top of this mountain, but the enchantment covers the upper third, and the enchantment is very strong, and there are many mechanisms. I tried to get through, but ended up falling short when I got close to the top. Since you, a human being, know the origin of this mountain, and also know that this is the dojo of the Beidou Tianzun, you dare to say that you can enter it. It's interesting, I can make a deal with you, and I'll let you go through the barrier above, but if you succeed you'll have to help me bring something down from above. The Demon King spoke.
"Fair enough." Sha Lao did not object.
"There can't be more than 10 people going up." The Demon King continued.
"It's still fair, I accept it." Sha Lao had no objection again.
"And your fleet must go back ten miles, and you yourself will accompany me here, if you dare to attack us or break our agreement, I will let you go around without food." Naked threatened, I think it is impossible for Mr. Sha to agree this time, but I didn't expect Mr. Sha to nod and say, "I agree." ”
Sha Lao's impression in my heart has always been very shrewd and full of scheming, but these three conditions are unfair no matter how you look at them, all of them are aimed at us, Sha Lao actually didn't even mention objections, which really surprised me, and I couldn't help whispering in a little anxious: "Sha Lao, we are too lost." ”
He shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry. ”
The smile on the demon king's face was even bigger, staring at us like a fool, and shouted, "You agreed? Aren't you ready to regret it when the time comes? ”
"No, I'm all here, wouldn't it be easy for you to kill us, how dare I go back? First of all, what do you want us to bring out of the Dojo of the Big Dipper Heavenly Venerable? Sha Lao asked.
The demon king touched his chin with his sharp nails, and after a moment, he said, "An elixir." ”
In a sense, Chinese alchemy can be said to go hand in hand with Chinese alchemy, but with the development of science and technology, gods, demons and monsters have withdrawn from the public's sight, and alchemy has gradually disappeared among the people. But it is not extinct, to this day, there are still many major sects that keep alchemy books, and there are also some hidden masters who are experts in alchemy.
Immortal Dojo, these four words are particularly attractive, to put it mildly, if it is really the Dojo of the Big Dipper Tianzun, then anything in it may be a treasure, a table, chair, bench, futon, incense burner, anything can be sold for a lot of money. And among them, there are three things that are sky-high prices, the first is of course the magic weapon, and the magic weapon used by the immortals is still there? Even if it is not a big killing weapon, as long as it is confirmed to be a thing of the immortal family, it is a treasure of the town sect if it remains in the sect. The second is the exercise, what kind of spell the immortal cultivates, which is much more precious than the magic weapon, there are so many legendary stories of the ascension of immortals recorded in Chinese historical materials, many of which are ordered by the immortals of the predecessors, or find the cave of a certain immortal family and profit from it. To put it mildly, if you find the secret book of the immortal's exercises, then you may be able to become an immortal. The third is the elixir, in "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong ate the elixir of Taishang Laojun's furnace and achieved boundless mana, if there is really an elixir in the dojo of Beidou Tianzun, I eat one pill worth thousands of years of practice, wouldn't it be beautiful?
"Are you sure there's an elixir in there?" Sha Lao asked.
The demon king smiled and said, "I'm sure!" However, it is not an elixir, but a demon pill. ”
