"Hahaha!" Suddenly a burst of weird laughter came from the bottom of the pool. The laughter spread from far to near, and soon it resounded throughout the Ten Thousand Waterfall Cave. At the same time, the mysterious vines all over the sky grew wildly and rushed towards Yan Mingxiu's face.
"Hahaha!" Weird laughter and arrogant curses came out from the bottom of the pool again: "Stupid mortal, vent the sadness in your heart to your heart's content, and come and nourish me!"
Just when the Xuanteng was about to swallow Yan Mingxiu, Wen Jinyan jumped down from the dark steps at a high place and shouted loudly: "Senior Yan, please don't get lost. That thousand-year-old vine demon is the most gratifying sorrow!"
After Wen Jin finished speaking, he held up the Sun Moon Universe Umbrella to cover Yan Mingxiu. The mysterious vines burned like fire when they touched the surface of the umbrella. They all quickly retracted the vines, and then quickly attacked at the feet of the two people.
"Go!" Zhao Ling'er wore a gauze face and a cloak tightly wrapped around her body. She waved her arms and sprinkled yellow medicinal powder at the feet of the two of them. All the wildly growing mysterious vines retreated to the edge of the pool.
Wen Jinyan helped Yan Mingxiu to rest on the dark steps. Zhao Ling'er spread the yellow powder around again, and then came to the two of them with peace of mind.
At this time, Yan Mingxiu had regained his consciousness, but he was still careless when facing the Thousand-faced Vine Demon. He didn't know when he was attacked. Could it be that he had already entered the illusion on the dark steps?
He shook his head heavily, looked at the two "saviors" in front of him, and apologized sheepishly: "Thank you both for your help. I have offended many people before."
Wen Jinyan shook his head gently to show his forgiveness, but when he was about to speak, Zhao Ling'er interrupted him: "Huh! This girl is saving Brother Wen, please don't misunderstand me, Mr. Thousand Faces!"
"Haha, Miss Zhao is so magnanimous!" Yan Mingxiu smiled guiltily. He did go too far when he snatched Wen Jinyan's spirit-avoiding pearl before. It was normal for Zhao Ling'er to hold a grudge against her.
"I can't be honest. I'm very narrow-minded! If others treat me well, I will be grateful for the rest of my life. If they treat me badly, I will remember it for the rest of my life! Just like..." Zhao Ling'er suppressed her blush. He wanted to say something resolute, but Wen Jinyan hurriedly stopped him.
"Miss Zhao, don't say that. Senior Yan is doing this because he is afraid that you and I will be in danger. Don't be so rude." Wen Jinyan, who is usually gentle and gentle, sounded a little tougher this time, so Zhao Ling'er had to shut up obediently.
Yan Mingxiu's mouth slightly raised, and he looked a little happy. After the two of them talked and persuaded each other, he saw that the relationship between the two had changed, and he began to guess what must have happened when he suddenly left the two of them before. It seemed that men and women shared the same feelings. It will really heat up a lot.
"Cough!" Wen Jinyan coughed slightly in embarrassment. Doctors often observe patients' words and expressions. Yan Mingxiu's thoughts were written on his face. He could see clearly at a glance, so he naturally felt embarrassed.
Yan Mingxiu waved to Wen Jinyan, motioning to come closer. Then he covered it with his sleeves, spit out the spirit-avoiding beads in his mouth, turned sideways and handed them to Wen Jinyan who was approaching. The moment the spirit bead was handed to Wen Jinyan's hand, she whispered in his ear: "You can do it!"
"Senior Yan..." Wen Jinyan smiled helplessly. Zhao Ling'er was a distinguished guest of the Lost Soul Valley. He only regarded Zhao Ling'er as his sister and did not dare to think anything wrong. Yan Mingxiu's words slightly aroused his ordinary heart, which had been as calm as water for many years, and a seed called "Spring Heart" was quietly planted.
"Don't be dazed, let's get down to business." Yan Mingxiu worked at a fast pace. Now that the "borrowed" things were returned and the fun of teasing Menzi was done, the next step was to deal with the vine demon.
"Let me ask you, before you said that the vine demon was at the edge of the pool, why did it go to the bottom of the pool again?" Yan Mingxiu didn't understand that the vine demon was clearly at the edge of the pool, how could he recruit it in the deep pool? Is there still something in the deep pool? Something else?
Wen Jinyan asked Yan Mingxiu about the circumstances of his attack. In addition, the stone walls of the dark steps were covered with a large number of mysterious vines, so he roughly understood the mystery.
Wen Jinyan guessed that Yan Mingxiu had been tricked when he was in the dark stage, but he just didn't notice it. The fact that he and Zhao Ling'er were fine was entirely due to the realgar powder from Xuanji Pharmacy.
Unexpectedly, this annoying black vine is actually afraid of the tiny realgar powder. If they had known this earlier, their Ghost Doctor Tomb would not have been helpless against it and allowed it to grow wildly for decades.
But this was just Wen Jinyan's speculation after all. There was no basis for it, so it was difficult to tell Yan Mingxiu. As for why the vine demon ran to the bottom of the pond, he could explain it with reasonable evidence.
Wen Jinyan put the spirit-avoiding beads into his storage bag with his backhand, and explained to Yan Mingxiu: "I don't know how to explain the illusion of Youtan, but one thing is certain. When I entered Wanpu Cave with the disciples of Ghost Doctor Tomb, it was true that It was at the edge of the pond that I was attacked by a vine demon.
The root system of this climbing plant is extremely developed, and the rhizome is slender and cannot stand upright. It usually climbs on other things and stretches upward; if there is nothing else to cling to, it grows crawling or hanging.
It has been five or six years since we last entered the cave. During this period, it is reasonable for the vine demon's body to change its growth position. "
"Indeed, Little Friend Wen is worthy of being the first disciple of Master Shigu!" Yan Mingxiu was enlightened after hearing this and nodded repeatedly. He smiled and patted Wen Jinyan on the shoulder to express his gratitude and encouragement.
Wen Jinyan explained clearly, and Yan Mingxiu's doubts were completely gone. Now that he was sure that the thousand-year-old vine demon was at the bottom of the pond, he had nothing to worry about.
Not far away, Zhao Ling'er saw the two of them whispering for a long time, talking and laughing, and suddenly became angry. She cursed Yan Mingxiu in her heart for being inconsistent, and once again felt sorry for Wen Jinyan's tolerance and kindness.
Yan Mingxiu's condition relaxed a lot, and he began to study the wildly growing mysterious vines. He picked up a stone, dipped it in some medicinal powder on the ground, and threw it towards the mysterious vines on the stone wall.
Those vines exuded a strong rotten smell. Sensing the approach of something, they quickly gathered again, but as soon as they touched the powder, they instantly retracted like fire.
Wen Jinyan hurriedly warned: "Senior Yan, be careful, there is poison in the mysterious vine!"
"Very poisonous? Haha, with you and Miss Zhao here, it is not easy to detoxify!" Yan Mingxiu responded casually, but the movements of his hands became more cautious.
Zhao Ling'er rolled her eyes disdainfully and said impatiently: "They are afraid of realgar, but they cannot use it to detoxify. If you are poisoned, I can't cure you."
"Miss Zhao, can you share some of your medicinal powder with me?" Wen Jinyan noticed Zhao Ling'er's displeasure, and as he spoke, he took her arm and took her to the other side.
"What? Are you going to give it to him?" Zhao Ling'er's anger remained unabated. She reluctantly split the powder in the bag into two, turned her head and glared at Yan Mingxiu dissatisfied.
Yan Mingxiu was not annoyed, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at the two of them, his eyes full of gratitude and trust. This was something Zhao Ling'er didn't expect. She softened her heart and softened her tone: "That's it. Save some. Who knows what other weird things are at the bottom of this pond. I have to keep some for preparation."
Wen Jinyan's face turned slightly ugly when he heard this. It was not easy for Zhao Ling'er to come here, and he would never agree to enter the deep pool. But due to Zhao Ling'er's temper, he didn't say much in the end and just nodded and took the medicine bag in his hand.
"Girl, you want to go into the pool?" Yan Mingxiu seemed to have heard the big joke, with disbelief written on his face.
Zhao Ling'er didn't answer, but just nodded her head. She followed the two people into the cave to get the demon pill. She was determined to do what she wanted to do before she came. Now that she was about to do it, she naturally had nothing to hesitate.
"Miss Zhao, you..." Wen Jinyan looked like he was hesitating to speak. He hesitated again and again before speaking out what was in his heart.
Wen Jinyan shook his head heavily and sighed: "Miss Zhao, you also know that this deep pool is full of dangers. If you insist on entering the pool, you will lose your life at any time. Is it really worth it?"
From the day Zhao Ling'er entered the valley, her words were full of admiration for Ji Beichen, and Wen Jinyan also listened carefully to what the two of them had experienced. Today, Zhao Ling'er came to Wanpu Cave to take risks for Ji Beichen. He turned a blind eye and closed one eye, but he would never let Zhao Ling'er do anything wrong when he lost his life when entering the deep pool!
"You are bullying!" Zhao Ling'er angrily snatched the medicine bag back, her face that was already suppressing redness turned even redder, she argued again with reason: "You are also a medicine cultivator, why can you get into this deep pool? I can’t go? You cultivators are too bullying..."
As Zhao Ling'er spoke, she felt aggrieved, and her angry words turned into uncontrollable choking, followed by sad cries: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, It's so bullying..."
"Miss Zhao, please stop crying. Wen just made a mistake..." Wen Jinyan felt guilty and distressed. The words he had been brewing in his heart for a long time ended up like this for some reason when he said them.
Yan Mingxiu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. Wen Jinyan seemed to have really enlightened him, but seeing his dull look, he was afraid that he had no love at all. Hey, it was really troublesome!
He rubbed his brows and said angrily: "Hey! You two, stop arguing. There is a thousand-year-old vine demon in this deep pool. I, a golden elixir-level monk, have fallen victim to it, so don't join in the fun."
Before the two of them could react, Yan Mingxiu stood up with a fan, concentrated his energy, and used his consciousness to the limit. However, the moment the fish jumped out of the water, his sharp five senses quickly sensed something.
He felt that in the depths of the deep pool, countless vines were lying quietly among the abundant water plants. As the water flowed forward, the branches of the mysterious vines were vaguely swinging leisurely and spiritually.
"Go!" Yan Mingxiu shouted and lowered his consciousness. He suddenly felt that there was a strong spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the bottom of the water, coiling around the bottom of this vibrant deep pool. It seemed that the body of the vine demon was in the water. Down.
"Huh!" Yan Mingxiu gasped and used his spiritual consciousness to consume his true energy. His spiritual consciousness could only detect this. It seemed that he had to go to the bottom of the pond.
When Wen Jinyan saw Yan Mingxiu about to enter the water, he shouted to stop him: "Senior Yan, wait! The water is extremely poisonous, so I have to go down, and when I lure the vine demon up, senior will kill it."
"Aren't you going to be poisoned?" Yan Mingxiu frowned upon hearing this. He was really afraid of the poison in the water. If he only relied on the shield around him to block it, he might not be able to hold on for long, let alone kill the people at the bottom of the pool. Vine demon.
Wen Jinyan nodded firmly and replied without hesitation: "The purpose of master asking me to come here this time is to deal with the poison. I am a disciple of the Ghost Doctor Tomb and I am invulnerable to all poisons. All you have to do is trust me, senior." .”
Zhao Ling'er calmed down a lot after listening to the conversation between the two. She couldn't be immune to all kinds of poisons. Since she couldn't help, it was better not to cause trouble. She obediently handed the medicine bag to Yan Mingxiu, looked at Wen Jinyan slightly worriedly, opened her mouth, but still did not say any words of concern.
Yan Mingxiu looked at the medicine bag in his hand, thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to let Wen Jinyan go first. After all, the people at Ghost Doctor Tomb have real abilities. He believes in Master Shi Gu and is willing to take the risk.
"In that case, just go ahead. If you can't fight, run away. Don't fight head-on." Yan Mingxiu said as he took out the brocade talisman sewn with silk thread from the storage ring.
There were more than twenty pictures. Yan Mingxiu gave them all to Wen Jinyan, and he did not forget to warn: "This water charm is very easy to use. If you take it with me, I can draw it easily. Don't be reluctant to use it!"
