Seeing the grimace here, the Taoist priest rubbed his hands excitedly. Today, the mysterious tomb-robbing beast that he has longed for will finally reveal its mysterious veil.
The Taoist priest with a grimace bent down and immediately saw the barrier on the wall. He carefully pushed the barrier open, took the fluorite and looked inside. He saw a dark thing huddled in the corner of the dark chamber half a foot deep. .
"Is that the armored mausoleum-piercing beast?" He Siniang asked curiously: "Why is it motionless?"
"Maybe it's still sleeping." The grim-faced Taoist priest didn't dare to reach out and touch it rashly. He could only hold the rat-shaped jade pendant and get closer to it little by little, trying to wake it up using the method on the bamboo slips.
After trying this for a while, the grimace Taoist priest had already circled the jade pendant around the thing, but the object remained motionless, which made the grimace Taoist priest couldn't help but poke it with the jade pendant. This poke felt stiff to the touch, as if It's like hitting a rock.
Zhao Ermu snorted when he saw this from behind and said, "Is that thing dead? Why do I feel so hard?"
The grim-faced Taoist priest ignored him and hurriedly stretched out his hand to drag the thing out. At this time, the three of them could really see the true face of the armored tomb beast. They felt that the thing looked like a mouse and a marmot, but it looked like a dace (pangolin). , covered with thick armor, at first glance, it looks like a large turtle with a mouse head.
However, this armored tomb-piercing beast was indeed dead, because its body was not only hard, but even its claws and many other places were dry.
The grim-faced Taoist priest sighed and said in frustration, "How could this happen?"
"After all, it may have been many years." He Siniang patted the grimace of the Taoist priest: "No one can escape birth, old age, illness and death, let alone them."
"Why!"
"Don't be depressed, Taoist priest. At least you have solved this old secret."
"But in the end, only a corpse was found. Wouldn't this be a powerful helper for the fight in the future?"
"That's why you sigh? I thought you were feeling sorry for this strange beast."
"Pindao feels sorry for the hammer. Pindao doesn't have any feelings for it. Pindao just laments his miserable life and thinks he can carry forward the reputation of the immortal family's Taibao again."
"Tch! Fame is of no use." Zhao Ermu said disdainfully: "The gold, silver and jewels in this secret room are enough for you to live happily for several lifetimes. You actually still care about those?"
After hearing Zhao Ermu talk about gold and silver jewelry, the Taoist priest with a grimace put the body of the armored mausoleum-piercing beast back into the dark pavilion, then stood up and said, "Now that the poor Taoist matter is settled, let's discuss what to do with the treasure here. Disposed of."
"What do you think?" Zhao Ermu asked.
"Of course, everyone who sees it has a share." The grim-faced Taoist priest replied: "But I hope to keep my share, and then continue to seal the Gray Immortal Temple, which can be regarded as an explanation to the ancestors of the Chen family."
"I'll keep my share of my concubine, too," He Siniang said.
"Oh, you two have such a good relationship." Zhao Ermu said curiously: "I've been curious about something. Are you two a couple?"
"Not yet."
"no."
He Siniang gave the Taoist a grimace and said, "What do you mean by adding the word "also"?" "
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. Who knows what will happen in the future." The Taoist priest with a grimace muttered.
"You are taller than usual."
Zhao Ermu smiled when he saw this, and then said: "In this case, I won't be polite to you two, but I won't go too far. Take as much as you can carry in the backpack behind you, and you can handle the rest as you please."
The Taoist priest with a grimace nodded. Zhao Ermu's request was indeed not too much. Even if the three of them moved the jewels in this secret matter, it would take a long time. He only took a backpack to show mercy, not to mention that these treasures may not be his first. Most of what people saved should have originally belonged to the underground palace of the Void Temple. The other scattered small items, the grimace Taoist priest guessed, were dug by the descendants of the Hui family to pay tribute. The holes in the corners were left for them to pass through to make money.
Seeing that his worries were over, the Ghost-faced Taoist asked the two of them to exit the secret room on the ground floor. After reaching the upper floor, Zhao Ermu turned around to pretend to be the treasure, while the Ghost-faced Taoist and He Siniang began to discuss the next plan.
urgent matter
They need to go back to Guitou Reef to meet up with the others first, and then decide on the antidote for Tiexianxing. In addition, there is another big or small matter, that is, Fourth Master Xue and Hong Hong disappeared halfway. Miss Jade, what secrets are hidden behind them?
After waiting patiently for Zhao Ermu to finish his work, the three of them finally walked out of the secret room. After closing the stone door, the grimace Taoist glanced at the words "Huixian Temple" on the plaque for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and left the mountain crevice.
When they arrived at the cliff outside the mountain crevice, the three of them did not choose to climb back to the Bai Lao Temple because they were worried about an ambush by Huangpizi above. Instead, they continued downward, using flying locks to lower themselves to the ground bit by bit.
The body of the giant spear-marked python was still on the ground, and its flesh and skin were flying. Seeing this, the Grimace Taoist couldn't help but talk about what he had just experienced. The other two people heard the other two exclaiming, praising the Ghostface Taoist for having the courage and courage of Zhao Zilong. The courage of the overlord.
After enjoying enough compliments, the three of them began to discuss the route to leave. It was definitely impossible to go back the same way. At this time, they could only go out of the mountain through another road on the island in the middle of the lake, and then spend more time to go back to Guitou Reef from the foot of the mountain.
As soon as they said they were leaving, the three of them started taking action immediately. This time, because it was daytime and the fog had dissipated, they didn't encounter any yellow-skinned troublemakers on the road. However, the journey was further than the three of them thought, and they walked half the way. It will take a long time to arrive at Gaoping Town.
Gaoping Town had already exploded at this time, and there were collapsed houses everywhere. After careful investigation, the three of them found out that these houses were all destroyed by the earthquake. It was said that the situation at the ferry was even worse, except for The earthquake also brought about a flood, and the entire ferry was directly washed away by the water. It can be said that ten houses and nine empty houses in the vicinity were extremely tragic.
The three of them were shocked after hearing this. They never imagined that such a huge natural disaster would happen outside while they were in the fight. It seems that He Siniang's guess is indeed correct. It was this earthquake that caused the lake to burst its banks, causing the river to surge and pour into the tomb of Princess Pingdu. It also cost the lives of three people. They had to find another way out, otherwise this would happen. He might have been drowned in the tomb by then.
After understanding the cause and effect of the incident, the three of them became even more worried about the people on Guitou Reef, so the three of them immediately stepped up their pace and continued towards the ferry.
Ignoring the tragic situation of the victims along the way, only that after burning incense, the three Taoist priests with grim faces finally arrived near Guitou Reef. From a distance, they saw a person standing on the rock. It was Meng Qingyao who was wearing night clothes.
There seemed to be a person sitting next to Meng Qingyao. Zhao Ermu said that the silhouette looked like his third brother Zhao Sanshui. The two of them were facing the direction of Guitou Reef and seemed to be looking anxiously at something.
The three ghost-faced Taoist priests walked closer and couldn't help shouting to each other. The other party turned their head when they heard the sound, and when they saw it was the three of them, they immediately started dancing and saying hello.
