At the last moment, the rat demon's tail wrapped its strong grip around my wrist and continued to drag me forward rapidly, and at the moment of coma, I saw the giant python's body getting smaller and smaller, gradually disappearing into the deep blue water.

When I woke up again, I found that I was lying on the shore, this is also a cave, but the situation in the cave is quite different from the previous one, it is a bit like a water cave under Qinglong Mountain, the cave is not dark, flashing a light blue fluorescence, there is a narrow waterway around me, and the river keeps flowing from the waterway forward.

It is estimated that the water in the stomach has been pressed out by the rat demon, although I feel very atrophied, but the belly is not swollen, and there is only the sound of running water in the cave, and the rat demon is not by my side.

Barely supported to get up, looking around, only to see that the cave here is full of strange peaks and convex stones, especially the mountainside is full of huge stones, which naturally divides the cave into two layers, and the rat demon squatted on the second layer with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

Looking forward in the direction of the current, not far away is a large square pond, which looks like a swimming pool, and through the transparent river, you can see a huge inky black relief under the water surface, which is a hideous and terrifying grimace.

There is indeed a "ghost gate" here, it seems that I should be at the bottom of the love lake, when the ghost gate opens, I can safely evacuate along the gushing water, I finally breathe a sigh of relief when I think of this, and my spirit is also lifted.

Immediately, I supported my weak body, along the naturally formed stone slope, slowly climbed to the "second floor" of the stone cave, where the rat demon squatted, I saw a dense place of thick cobwebs, the spider silk was like a marshmallow, about fifty or sixty square meters of area tightly wrapped.

The dense cobwebs are uneven, and it's obvious that there's something wrapped underneath, could it be a human? With this terrifying thought, I scared myself to the brink again, but after thinking about it, with the power of the rat demon, how could it threaten the survival of my side, so there would be no living spiders.

Thinking of this, I mustered up the courage to step forward and pull the thick spider silk apart.

Sure enough, what was revealed was not a dried corpse that had been sucked dry by a spider, but a broken stone carving object, a hemispherical object, with a treasure cover on top and a round body with reliefs.

What does this thing look like?

Thinking of this, I removed all the cobwebs that were wrapped around me, and sure enough, a broken stone roof was revealed.

The lower part of the top cover has fallen beyond recognition, but the upper part of the table is complete, and it can be seen from the relief that it is a moral picture of the Taoist priest getting the ascension to heaven, only to see the Taoist priest in the stone carving riding a five-clawed golden dragon in the clouds and wandering freely, the whole picture is vivid, as if it can move.

I vaguely wondered, how could there be such a thing in a cave? Thinking of this, I continued to clean up the cobwebs, and then saw a few broken stones, there were obvious traces of fireworks and sulfur on the stones, I was excited, and the hairs on my body stood up, could it be that this was a place where Taoism used to make alchemy.

Thinking of this, I immediately intensified my efforts to clean up, and uncovered the dense silk in a big way, and just as I was so happy to do it, I pulled away a large handful of spider silk again, and suddenly a spider the size of a basin appeared and pounced on my body.

Although I'm not afraid of spiders, such a big one is always disgusting, and I subconsciously kicked it on the spider, and the crackling sound was crisp, and the spider was actually kicked into several pieces by me.

It turned out that this was a spider stem that had long since died, and it was estimated that it was also the maker of these spider silks, although there was no danger, but my heart was still beating wildly, and my heart almost didn't jump out of my chest.

After stabilizing his mood for a moment, he continued to clean up, and soon the whole area was cleaned up by me, and under the spider web was a stone gossip alchemy furnace, I estimated that there was an explosion in the process of alchemy, because the furnace body was still in place in addition to the base, and the furnace body and the top of the furnace were broken into several pieces, and the remains of the large stone furnace were thrown in fifty or sixty square meters.

Chinese have always had a saying of alchemy, alchemy is divided into two categories, one is to practice the inner pill, the representative of which is Ge Hong, it is said that Ge Hong mastered the secret method of cultivating the "longevity pill", relying on taking this pill, he lived for more than four hundred years.

Another alchemy technique is not well known, that is, alchemy.

The so-called refining is the method of burning the demon law to the sky, and the almost immortal monster is placed in the alchemy furnace to be burned, that is, the way to seek the true fire of the three flavors, and the Taishang Laojun in "Journey to the West" burns Sun Wukong is the refining method, and the representative of this door is the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master.

And whether it is refining or alchemy, it is not as simple as ordinary people think, and there are also various dangers that can be predicted.

For example, the materials of alchemy include sulfur, mercury, mercury, etc., which are the basic components of gunpowder, and the gunpowder in the four major inventions comes from the explosion that occurs in alchemy.

Refining is even more dangerous, most of the monsters that need to be refined by the Bagua Furnace are strong, once the refiner's ability is not enough to suppress the monster in the furnace and break free from it, the result is not as simple as Sun Wukong beating over the alchemy furnace with a stick, because the fire of refining demons in the furnace is a three-flavor real fire, not a mortal fire in the world, once it is baked, the result is unimaginable, and even greater than the threat caused by the monster itself.

However, judging from the pattern carved by this gossip furnace, there is a chance that this is an alchemy furnace, it seems that N many years ago there was a person who believed in the secret method of Taoism to practice the elixir here, but unfortunately there was an explosion in the alchemy process, and there are many monsters in Zigong Mountain, if you get to the bottom of it, it is very likely to be related to the accident that happened in this alchemy.

At the most critical moment, when the energy is accumulated to the apex, if there is no correct way to guide this force to flatten out but suddenly erupt, it will affect the local magnetic field, causing a sudden change in the magnetic field, which will further lead to changes in the direction of feng shui.

The rapid change of the magnetic field Feng Shui will only cause one result, which will cause the life that can perceive all this to change, resulting in the creation of spirit monsters.

This is also the reason why the rat demon can easily find this extremely hidden place after coming to Zigong Mountain, because it is a monster, and it can naturally feel the call of the same magnetic field, and the reason why those monsters of Zigong Mountain can accept the "dominance" of the rat demon without hesitation is also because they can perceive the magnetic field in the rat demon's body.

Just like a young child in kindergarten facing a Shaolin monk, he naturally worships from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as I thought of this, I heard the sound of running water loudly, and then the stone "clicked", I hurriedly walked back to the side of the mountain road, only to see that the ghost gate under the waterway had slowly opened, and a large stream of flowing water gushed out, and the rat demon suddenly opened his eyes and pointed to the pond with his hand to make a "squeak" sound.

"You're letting me go?" I said.

The rat demon nodded.

"Are you going with me?"

The rat demon shook his head.

"You're not going to leave here from now on?"

The rat demon nodded.

This time, I asked the rat demon face to face, and I finally understood what it was thinking, this was indeed a place very suitable for the cultivation and survival of monsters, and I couldn't force it to go with me to that mundane, copper-smelling world.

In fact, to a certain extent, demons and monks and nuns both belong to the body of cultivation, and they both have their own unique beliefs, their own unique secret methods, and their own unique cultivation methods.

But no matter who cultivates, the fundamental condition is the unity of mind and mind, and to do this, the chaotic red world obviously does not have this condition, because there are too many temptations, it is already a three-tailed body, and it is impossible to make it give up cultivation, so this is indeed the most suitable area for it.

Thinking of this, I got up and said, "Brother Mouse, if I miss you, can I come here to see you?" ”

The rat demon nodded, then made a smiking gesture and made a "squeak".

I laughed and said, "Got it, I'll bring you a good cigarette next time I'm here." The big mouse spun around in place and nodded again and again, his expression very excited.

"Okay, that's it, I'll be here in a few days." After that, I hugged the rat demon, and then I went down the mountain road, and I was about to enter the pond and come out with the flowing water, when I saw a thick and strong lantern fruit tree growing on the hillside on the left, and the orange-red lantern fruit of the demon was even more bewitching under the reflection of fluorescence, and each one was like a snake fruit that tempted Adam and Eve to sin, attracting my attention.
