Chapter 10: Haiyaksha
Outside the majestic palace, the remains of the sharks can be seen everywhere, and there are pools of thick red blood on the ground. Even the huge stone statues that symbolized the guardians of the sharks were completely destroyed...
In front of the stone stairs leading to the palace, several figures stopped, all of them young immortals. On one of them's shoulders stood a turtle about the size of a fist, with a green snake coiled on the turtle's back.
When Zhou Hao saw Hua Huo's pretty little face looking at him expectantly, his heart softened immediately, although he really wanted to get the Shark Pearl and collect all the elixirs needed for the Nine Turns Golden Pill. Not only because he wants to become stronger, but also because he can get sufficient experience in the process of collecting elixirs. But now Hanabi clearly sympathizes with the Sharks and refuses to take away their treasures no matter what. In this way, Zhou Hao is really in trouble!
According to legend, as long as one takes a Nine-turn Golden Pill, a lower immortal can understand the laws of the king and successfully advance to the realm of the Immortal King that all the monks in the Immortal Realm are struggling to pursue. There are no side effects and there is no need to worry that it will become the Immortal King. The shackles of future immortal cultivation.
There is a poem that goes: Once a golden elixir is swallowed, I realize that my fate is not determined by fate!
Zhou Hao naturally couldn't resist this kind of temptation. He also believed that any aspiring monk would be attracted by it.
Regarding the Nine Turns Golden Pill, the turtle has the most say. It claims to be a banished fairy turtle. It was demoted to the mortal world and has forgotten many memories, but it clearly remembers all the concepts and knowledge of the fairyland.
In its opinion, following Zhou Hao is actually to find the necessary medicinal materials for the Nine Transformations Golden Pill. When the time comes, as long as he takes one pill, not to mention returning to the top, he can also become the king of the party. There is no need to live without enough food and clothing. Hard days of training without warmth?
The purple-gold red fruit that I finally got before had to be donated in order to save Yu Nan. Now I can only hope to go to Guo Lao to get one in ten thousand years.
And now the Shark Palace is right in front of us. The Shark Pearl of Love is one of the nine main ingredients necessary to refine the Nine Turns Golden Pill. If it takes ten thousand years to get the Purple Gold Fruit, then this Shark Pearl is It is something that can be encountered but cannot be found.
Each of the nine main herbs is harder to find than the last. If you miss the opportunity, you may never encounter it again in your life!
"Hanabi, you are wrong. The Same Pearl is actually not of much use to the same person. At most, it can keep you young and beautiful forever, but that is only for one person. Besides, it is not necessarily the same person who wants to stay young forever. Pearl can do it." Of course Oogway would not give up Shark Pearl. Seeing Zhou Hao's soft-heartedness, Oogway quickly said to Hanabi.
"Isn't the Shark Pearl a treasure of the Sharman clan? The Kaiyaksha clan massacred the Sharks just to steal the Shark Pearl, wasn't it?" Hanabi blinked her red eyes and asked.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. There are countless treasures in the Shark Palace. The Haiyaksha Clan may not just come here just for the Shark Pearl. In my opinion, they have probably harbored evil intentions for a long time. Only by killing the Shark can they take over this palace." Oogway analyzed. .
"And what the Shark named Dina said didn't mention that the Kaiyaksha clan wanted to seize the Shark Pearl from the Shark clan, right?"
Hanabi nodded her head, and her face changed slightly: "What you said makes sense. That Sharman girl did not say that the Kaiyaksha clan came to their Shark Palace to snatch the Shark Pearl. From this point of view, the Kaiyaksha clan It's very possible that he really wants to occupy the Mermaid Palace and kill people for the sake of killing people!
Zhou Hao pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "If your guess is true, then I really have a bigger doubt."
Everyone looked at him: "What's the doubt?"
"Does the legendary Shark Pearl of Love really exist in this shark palace?" Zhou Hao glanced at everyone and said slowly.
Everyone in the group was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. This possibility was indeed something they should consider because Shark Pearls were so rare to see.
"No way, didn't you two say that there are shark beads in the Sharman Palace?" Hua Huo pointed at the two mini fairy beasts on Zhou Hao's shoulders.
"We are just guessing. We have never said that it really exists. That thing is too rare and rare. Maybe even if we search all the Mermaid Palaces in the entire East China Sea, we may not be able to find one." Oogway spread his hands with a look on his face. It has nothing to do with yourself.
"Sister Hanabi, isn't it just what you want without the Shark Pearl? We can go all out to rescue the Sharks." Li Qinglu walked up to Hanabi and said with a smile.
"Well, that's true. The Sharman clan is in great trouble now. Since we are here, it may be God's will." Hanabi scratched her head and said.
"God's will allows us to defeat Kaiyaksha and save the Sharks!"
Zhou Hao sweated profusely, and Wu Gui winked at him desperately. He thought to himself: "What's the point of us coaxing a little girl like this? She won't be struck by lightning, right?"
"Ahem, Hanabi, don't think so much. It doesn't matter whether you have the same beads or not. Saving people is the key. Zozuki and Dina have been in there for a long time. If they don't follow, they may also be killed by Kaiyaksha. , after all, two fists cannot defeat four hands... Ah no, it should be a hundred hands!" Zhou Hao patted Hanabi's shoulder and said.
"Yeah, let's go in right away!" Hanabi waved her hand and rushed up the stone steps.
"Hey, hey, of course men rush in front when it comes to things like this. You, a girl, just follow your men obediently and serve as assistants." Zhou Hao watched this little girl rush forward in a hurry. Feeling funny, he stretched out his hand and pulled it back.
"Oh." Hanabi's body was pulled into Zhou Hao's arms. She looked up at Zhou Hao and saw that he was also looking down at her. The smile on his face was clearly a little bit evil, and she didn't know what he was laughing at.
Zhao Zhen from Jinguangdong and Lin Chen from Meteor Pavilion were in a very low mood at this time. Zhou Hao and Wugui were originally singing a double reed for Hua Huo so that she would not be entangled in the issue of Shark Pearl. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen and Lin Chen were also frightened and began to doubt whether there were no shark beads in the shark palace in front of them!
But whether there is or not, now that they are here, they have to go inside and take a look.
"Hey, this is it? Shark Pearl!"
Everyone walked up the stone steps and climbed higher and higher. Suddenly Li Qinglu was attracted by some luminous objects in front of her.
They were small light blue pearls, each one as big as a peanut, with dense light flowing on the surface, lying quietly on the stone steps.
"I just saw the Mermaid girl crying in the distance. Could it be that these pearls are the Mermaid tears she shed condensed into beads?" Zhao Zhen said from Jinguangdong.
Li Qinglu picked up these pearls one by one, twirling one of them with her two slender jade fingers and said: "What beautiful beads, blue and white, distinct in color, crystal clear, full and round, it's hard to imagine that these are actually the condensation of teardrops." become."
"Weeping into tears will only appear when the shark is extremely sad. I think that the girl from the shark tribe must have seen her tribe members being killed and died in such a miserable way that she couldn't help crying." Qing Qing The snake spoke.
"Sister Qinglu, these beads contain the deep sorrow of the shark girl for the victims of the shark clan. If you hold them, you can do more good deeds in the future and use the medical knowledge you have learned to save the world and help others!" Hua Huo reminded Li Qinglu. .
"Sister Hanabi, I will take your words to heart. With these Shark Pearls, I will definitely be able to treat more patients and comfort the Sharian clan's spirits in heaven." Li Qinglu nodded heavily.
Zhao Zhen, Zhang Zheng, Lin Chen and the others didn't say anything. As the younger generation of genius Jinxian, they were well-informed. Ordinary shark beads were of little significance to them. Even Li Qinglu only regarded these beads as Just ordinary medicinal materials.
Then everyone continued to go up, and soon came to the main entrance and saw the wide corridor in front of them.
There are more corpses of the sharks here, and there are also those of the Haiyaksha clan. The white stone pillars on the left and right sides of the corridor are stained red with blood. Some of the stone pillars have even collapsed, lying across the front, blocking the intersection. It is obvious that this place has experienced extremely fierce fighting. .
"Damn it. Could it be that the Sharman race has really been wiped out? Kaiyaksha has bloodbathed the entire Sharman race!" Even Oogway couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene.
"No matter what, you can only know everything by entering the palace. The current guesses are not one-sided." Zhang Cheng said, his eyes were like a torch, staring straight ahead, trying to see through everything with his clairvoyance, but this palace seemed to be protected by a barrier. It was impossible to see through, and everyone's sight range was only a hundred meters in the corridor area.
Within a hundred meters, there is nothing but a corridor...
A group of six people and two beasts walked towards the corridor. Four young male immortals, Zhou Hao, Zhang Zhen, Lin Chen, were in front, and two female immortals, Hua Huo and Li Qinglu, were behind. The turtle and the green snake were the most comfortable, lying directly on Zhou Hao's shoulders.
As they continued to walk forward, everyone finally approached the end of the corridor, where there was a light blue light curtain. There were two stone statues on both sides of the light curtain, which were as high as the stone pillars.
The stone statues look like two mermaids, a man and a woman. They hold tridents and stand in front of the light curtain in the shape of crossing each other, as if to prevent outsiders from entering the inner hall.
Chi!
Zhang Cheng waved his right hand, and a small sword as long as his thumb flew out and shot straight towards the light curtain, acting as a pathfinder. txt
Disappointingly, the small flying sword did not enter the light screen, but was bounced away.
"This light curtain... actually blocked my sword?" Zhang Cheng looked slightly surprised.
"Let me try!" Zhao Zhen held the whisk in one hand and the Nian Jue in the other hand. The next moment he swung the Nian Jue palm forward.
With a bang, a golden palm print about the size of a millstone condensed in front of Zhao Zhen's palm, roaring towards the light blue light curtain.
However, it was still of no use, the light curtain remained motionless, and the golden palm prints shattered into a shower of light like broken gold.
"Don't waste your efforts. This is the Shark Clan's palace-protecting light curtain. How can it be so easy to break? I'm afraid you will have to reach the late immortal realm to open it with brute force!" Wugui said.
"How do you know?" Lin Chen stared at the turtle and asked. He was a little curious about how the turtle knew so much. He had been quite concerned about the turtle and the snake on Zhou Hao's shoulders from the beginning.
Wugui glanced at him and said arrogantly: "Grandpa Turtle, I know fifty thousand years from the top, fifty thousand years from the middle, and fifty thousand years from the bottom. Is there anything that I can't figure out with my fingers?"
"Since you know so much, do you also know how to open this light curtain?" Lin Chen said with a smile.
"What's so difficult about this? If you think about how the Shark girl and the boy named Zhan Yue got in, you'll know how to enter the light curtain." Old God Oogway said.
"You mean...there is a mechanism here?" Zhou Hao narrowed his eyes and looked around carefully.
"Since those two people were able to enter the palace by virtue of their status as golden immortals, it must be the mermaid girl who knew how to get in. There are two mermaid stone statues standing here, standing in front of the light curtain in the shape of crossed halberds. I I guess the opening of the mechanism must be related to this stone statue." Li Qinglu looked at the two stone statues with bright eyes and white teeth, and said softly.
After everyone heard this, they all looked up at the stone statues, but they saw the huge mermaid stone statue hundreds of meters high with a solemn expression. The man had a strong body, and the woman had a graceful body. They looked at each other, holding halberds in both hands, standing crossed.
As time passed by, they looked over the whole body of the shark statue, but still found nothing and couldn't find the mechanism.
"Could it be that there is no mechanism at all? Is it true that only the sharks can open the light curtain?" Zhang Cheng sighed softly.
"Wait a minute, look at those two stone halberds. They are inlaid with two shark beads, but they have no luster and are very dim." Hanabi suddenly shouted in surprise.
After hearing this, everyone immediately looked at the two halberds. Sure enough, they saw a dull bead at the connection between the hilt and the blade. Except for the size, it was almost different from the light blue shark bead that Li Qinglu picked up just now. Exactly the same.
Because the bead was too gray, everyone just thought it was a stone spherical protrusion connected with the entire stone halberd. They never associated it with the shark bead, so they subconsciously ignored it.
With a hiss, six rays of light rose up, and everyone came to the mid-air where the stone halberds intersected, and looked closely at the two super giant shark beads.
"These two beads are too big, right? There are such big shark beads in the world?" Even Zhou Hao was surprised, these two dim beads were actually bigger than a human.
"Shark beads don't matter in size. Immortals can grow big or small, so shark beads can naturally do the same." The turtle's small dark eyes stared closely at the beads on the stone halberd, as if he was afraid of being snatched away.
"It seems that the trap is on these two beads. Let me try!" Zhao Zhen stepped forward, faced the beads that were larger than him, and pressed forward with his palms.
The next moment, the huge bead was actually pressed, but unfortunately it did not let the light curtain disappear.
"Let's try it both together."
Lin Chen flew towards another shark bead, put his palm on it, and pressed it.
With a rumble, the two shark beads were pressed at the same time, sinking inward. At this moment, it finally had an effect. The two stone statues made a roaring sound and actually started to shake.
The male stone statue of a mermaid turned to the right, and the female statue of a mermaid turned to the left. The two of them changed from looking at each other to one on the left and the other on the right, looking directly at the corridor in front of them. The crossed halberds also changed from crossed to separated.
brush!
The light blue light curtain disappeared, revealing the scene of the main hall at the rear. Before anyone could take a look, they heard the sounds of killing one after another, as if there were hundreds or even thousands of people fighting fiercely. The sound of weapons clashing echoed in all directions from time to time. Arrived at the promenade.
Everyone immediately flew forward to see what happened.
What came into view was a majestic giant palace with a very high dome that filled the giant palace with light. There were murals unique to the Sharks painted on it. Above the main hall of the giant palace, there was a huge pink scallop. It looked like it should be the throne of the Sharman clan. There were two figures on it. Zhou Hao and others couldn't see clearly because they were too far away.
But below the main hall, a large group of Haiyaksha were at war with a small group of sharks. Everyone was filled with murderous aura, and even their eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
However, the most eye-catching person in the crowd was not a certain shark or a certain Kaiyaksha, but a human immortal, an unforgettable handsome young man. He held a long sword made of lightning in his hand. When the purple clothes moved, the Haiyaksha tribe drank in hatred and blood.
The moon!
Zhou Hao and others walked into the giant palace. As soon as they saw the situation clearly, three red-eyed Haiyaksha clan rushed towards them. They held double-pronged forks, with an icy cold light shining on them, and stabbed at the six people fiercely.
Chi Chi Chi!
Zhang Cheng took the lead, and the thumb-long sword in his sleeve flew out like three bolts of lightning, instantly piercing the necks of the three Haiyakshas.
The two forks fell to the ground with a clang, and the three Kaiyaksha fell back and never got up again. There was only a small red spot on their necks, and not even blood flowed out.
Seeing their kind being killed, more Kaiyaksha immediately swarmed towards the six outsiders, which relieved the pressure on the small and weak Sharman tribe.
"Well done!"
The whisk in Zhao Zhen's hand was gently swept forward, and thousands of golden lights suddenly appeared and spread around. The dozen or so Haiyaksha who rushed forward turned into headless ghosts. For a while, their heads were rolling, and the scene was extremely bloody. .
"I'm coming too!"
Lin Chen's eyes were like stars, and he saw that at this moment, he raised his hands above his head, and a huge energy star condensed and formed. With a bang, he was pushed forward. The star fell, and immediately killed a bunch of Haiyaksha who were still alive. The people were so frightened that they retreated.
"Damn human immortals, you have killed so many sons of our Haiyaksha clan, and you will pay the price with your blood!" A tall and burly figure walked out of the Haiyaksha group. His whole body was covered by blue and gold armor, and only his naked body was exposed. The pair of eyes and the forks in his hands had already been stained red with blood.
"Oh? Just because you...are big?"
Zhou Hao smiled indifferently, showing no sign of timidity in the face of Hai Yaksha, who was a foot tall.
Several people on the side couldn't help laughing.
"I am General Haiyaksha. How dare you underestimate me and eat a forkful of me, you ignorant boy?"
There was a sharp clang, and General Haiyaksha used his double fork, which was taller than himself, to chop down Zhou Hao's head. Both the speed and the strength were far superior to those of Haiyaksha just now.
"Let's use your weapons to defeat you!"
In a matter of seconds, Zhou Hao used Lingxu Immortal Trace at a speed that was dizzying. He picked up a two-pronged fork from the ground and withstood the heavy and huge fork with a slight difference of time. The double cross downward trend.
