Although these vine-like objects in front of you are much smaller than the blood vines seen at the entrance to the evil stone tomb, they are also blood red, so if you don't make it well, these are blood vines! However, Long Yi once said that blood vines
Only when it grows to the thickness of an adult's arm will it pose a threat to people. Blood vines as thick as this thumb should be easily torn off, but for some reason, the pulling force of these blood vines is so strong. I don't know if it is because of this.
Because it's underwater.
I was secretly frightened and struggled hard to break free, but after all, I was underwater and it was difficult to use my full strength. In addition, the blood vines were quite strong. Instead of being able to break free, they became entangled tighter and tighter. Wen Qingshan hurriedly hurried
Coming to help, he hugged my waist and pulled me back hard, but it was of no avail, and even his arm was entangled in the blood vines.
We were unable to escape for a while. At this critical moment, Long Jiansheng quickly swam to our side and pulled out the sword on his back. With a flash of cold light, the blood vine that had originally entangled Wen Qingshan and I was sharply
The sword blades were all cut off, and we didn't dare to be lazy. We hurriedly kicked our legs a few times and finally broke free.
I hurriedly swam two or three meters away, and when I turned around, I saw that the blood vines had shrunk back and became entangled again. There was no trace of being cut off by a sharp sword.
Since none of us carried any weapons except Long Jiansheng, who had a sharp sword in his hand, no one dared to get closer.
Seeing that it was impossible to enter, and the water in the pool was freezing cold, it was not suitable to stay for a long time. After observing it for a while, everyone swam to the top of the water.
As soon as I climbed ashore and before I could take off my diving suit, Jianjian and Niu Fatty gathered around me. Jianjian asked impatiently: "Brother! What's going on down there?"
Before I could fully recover, I gasped and replied: "Damn, the entire entrance to the cave is sealed by a strange entangled vine, and there's no way to get in."
"A strange vine that can pester people? What is it?" Jianjian asked.
I said: "I feel a bit like blood vine."
"What! Blood Vine!?" When Jianqian heard this, his expression suddenly changed. Last time, when he and I followed Long Yi to explore the construction site where the Evil Stone Tomb was located, we were attacked by the Blood Vine in a pit.
, he and I were both entangled by blood vines at that time. Fortunately, Long Yi came to the rescue in time. But now that he heard that blood vines also grew in this pool, Jian Jian was naturally shocked.
The old ghost who heard our conversation turned to look at me and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to be able to tell that that thing is a blood vine at such a young age."
"Brother, what is blood vine?" Fatty Niu asked curiously from the side.
Before I could speak, the old ghost replied: "The blood vine is a man-eating evil vine that grows in a damp environment. It is divided into two types. One grows deep underground and is called the earth blood vine. The earth blood vine is very...
Stout, the thickest one is as thick as a python. If you are unlucky to dig it up, you can
Speaking of a narrow escape from death, there is another kind that grows underwater, called water blood vine, which is the kind we just saw. In the past, it was often said that water monkeys would grab people who fell into the water under the water. In fact, they were not water monkeys.
, it’s most likely the water-blooded vine.”
After listening to the old ghost's explanation, I suddenly realized that what I encountered last time was an earth-blood vine, but this time I encountered a water-blood vine. No wonder it was much smaller.
The old ghost seemed to be very familiar with evil things like blood vines. Wen Qingshan on the side quickly asked him for advice: "Blood vines should avoid fire. Earth blood vines can be burned with fire, but water blood vines that grow underwater should not be burned."
How to deal with it?"
The old ghost smiled coldly and said: "If it were anyone else, I would be helpless when encountering this water-blooded vine, but it won't be a problem for me."
"So, Senior Gui, do you have any idea?"
"Of course there is a way, but you have to give me a few days to prepare."
Long Jiu seemed to be waiting for Lao Gui's words. He laughed and said: "Haha, it seems that I found the wrong person! Brother Lao Gui, how long do you need?"
The old ghost raised his left hand, stretched out four fingers, and said: "Five days!"
Seeing this, Jianjian burst into laughter and said, "Haha, senior, why did you only stretch out four fingers for five days?"
The old ghost turned around and glared at Jianjian, and cursed: "You are blind, aren't these five fingers?"
After hearing what he said, I looked at his left palm carefully and discovered that his little finger was only very short. At first glance, it looked like it was not straight.
I hurriedly apologized for Jianjian: "Senior Old Ghost, my brother's eyesight is dazzled, please don't see..."
Before I could finish my words, the old ghost threw the oxygen bottle on his back to the ground and said coldly: "I'll take my leave now. See you here in five days!"
After saying that, he turned around and got into the bushes on the side, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
I was stunned for a while before I came back to my senses and asked blankly: "Isn't this old ghost senior angry?"
Long Jiu smiled and said, "Don't mind. This old boy has such a temper. He is already nearly 70 years old, but he still acts like a child."
"What, he's almost seventy!?" Jianjian blurted out in shock.
I was also shocked: "But he looks like he is only forty or fifty years old at most. How can he be so old?"
Long Jiu said: "This old boy is disabled and knows that no woman may like him in this life, so he simply practices Yin Tongzi Kung Fu and acquires the essence of a boy. Moreover, he feeds on goblin treasures all the year round.
This is how you can keep your appearance ageless.”
"What is the Goblin Treasure?" I asked curiously.
Wen Qingshan explained on the side: "The so-called goblin treasures refer to coffin mushrooms and blood Tai Sui."
"Coffin mushroom!?" I was a little surprised.
Long Jiu nodded and said: "This coffin mushroom is exactly the medicine in the secret recipe of the elixir of immortality, and according to my estimation, the Blood Taisui is also one of them."
"What the hell is blood Tai Sui?"
"Tai Sui is also known as Ganoderma lucidum. It grows underground. Tai Sui has the effect of delaying aging and prolonging life. This blood Tai Sui is the best among Tai Sui. It looks like the fresh meat of a living person and can regenerate people's rotten flesh.
It's very miraculous, but it's also extremely rare. You can only encounter it but you can't ask for it. I don't know where the old boy got the Tai Sui blood from."
After listening to what Long Jiu said, Jianjian said from the side: "Senior Old Ghost has been eating coffin mushrooms and blood Tai Sui all year round. Could it be that he has become immortal, right?"
Long Jiu smiled and said: "Haha, it's very possible!"
"In that case, why are you still looking for the secret recipe of the elixir of immortality, Master Jiu? Why don't you just follow him and eat coffin mushrooms and blood Tai Sui?"
"Haha, I do think so, but I'm afraid this method may not be effective for other people."
"Why?" I asked puzzled.
"Because both the coffin mushroom and the Blood Tai Sui grow in an extremely yin environment, if ordinary people take it directly, the yin energy will invade their bodies and cause bad effects. Not only will they not be able to live forever, but they will lose their lives. And because the old ghost is
Having practiced the Yin Tongzi Kung Fu and haunting Yin Xie's cemetery all year round, I have already developed antibodies to the Yin Xie aura."
After listening to what Long Jiu said, for some reason, I suddenly thought of Ghost Eye Chen. Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have some similarities with the old ghost. Maybe there was some relationship between the two.
Seeing that it was already very late, Long Jiu asked the bald man to take us back to the hotel.
On the way back, I asked Wen Qingshan curiously: "Boss Wen, who is that old ghost?"
Wen Qingshan replied: "More than 20 years ago, Lao Gui was a representative figure of the gold-touching sect in the north, and he was as famous as the 'Tai Sui Shou' of the inverted fighting sect in the south. It is said that almost all the tombs he targeted were inaccessible.
. He often walks alone, and after entering the tomb, no matter how many gold, silver and jewelry are in the tomb, he will only take one of them. It is definitely not like the nine-headed worm, which destroys the tomb every time.
.”
Having said this, Wen Qingshan added: "However, more than twenty years ago, the old ghost suddenly retired and never appeared in the world again. Many people thought he was dead, but they did not expect that he would show up today.
"
"Isn't he just a dwarf? How powerful can he be!" Jianjian said with disdain.
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Don't underestimate him. Although I have never dealt with him, people who are as famous as Tai Sui Shou must have something special."
"Who is Tai Sui Shou?" I asked.
Wen Qingshan replied: "Taisui Shou was once a representative figure of the Southern Dou Dou sect. It is said that when he was young, during a tomb robbery, his left hand was bitten by a zombie in the tomb. In order to prevent the corpse poison from attacking, he immediately swung the knife,
He cut off his left arm at the elbow. Later, he got a secret recipe from nowhere and actually cut off his left arm.
The arm was reborn. Since then, it has been called Tai Sui Shou. The Tai Sui Shou's tomb robbing techniques are somewhat similar to those of the nine-headed insect. They often rob the entire tomb of all the funerary objects, causing considerable damage to the ancient tombs.
Over the years, the police have been tracking his whereabouts, but unfortunately his whereabouts are very mysterious and they have never been able to catch him."
"Listening to what you said, why do I think this Tai Sui hand is a member of a cult?"
Wen Qingshan glanced at me and said: "To be honest, I have always suspected that this Tai Sui hand has something to do with the nine-headed worm." At this point, Wen Qingshan changed the topic and asked: "You must still remember the four
It must be the cult leader with a ravaged face that we encountered when we were looking for King Chuang’s treasure years ago.”
"Of course I remember! Boss Wen, why did you suddenly mention that guy?" I was a little confused.
Wen Qingshan said: "At that time, I cut off his arm with a knife, but a few days later, when I saw him again, he had grown another arm. So I thought that this broken arm regeneration technique might be a secret technique of a cult, and
It must be because he joined a cult that he was able to regenerate his Tai Sui hand after a broken arm and developed a very sinister Tai Sui hand."
