Chapter 1033 Kirishima Cage (12)
The book continued last time, and said that Mu Yuan and the others had escaped. Everyone was panting and cleaning and cleaning by the water. They were asking Maomao about Miao Buyan, but they didn't expect to get a news that Miao Buyan was dead. This was unexpected. As soon as Maomao said this, looking at the dust like five thunders, the rest of the people were also shocked. Only Chu Xunyu, smashing his mouth, tilting his eyes and glanced at Maomao who was stroking his beard. Suddenly, he grabbed its small claws and lifted it up in the air. He swung his arms around and swung them down in a circle. He swung his eyes and his nose tilted, and foamed at him. Then he pressed it into the water to wash it. Maomao's mouth and nose were flowing, and he lay half dead on the stone, and stuttering, "Among... mortal... you... are so... unruly..."
"If you talk nonsense, I will kill you." Chu Xunyu picked up Maomao from the water, shook it in the air, and the shaking Maomao spitted a few mouthfuls of white water.
As soon as Chu Xunyu let go, Maomao hurriedly hid far away, while tidying up his own Mao, and complaining to Chu Xunyu: "I'm just like scaring you, you are smart, aren't you?"
When everyone heard this, it turned out that Miao Buyan was not dead, and they were furious and scolded Maomao in a verbal manner. Maomao became anxious and defended: "I didn't lie. I know where the girl you are talking about is, but she is not dead now, but she is not far from death."
"You're all the tricks!" Chu Xunyu pointed his hand at the hairy little nose, and went ashore with the water. He found a cave with a lighter lee, raised a fire, and roasted clothes for everyone. This island made everyone's bodies gradually degenerate to mortals. The stream was too cold, and the body could not help but toss and needed warm rest to recover.
The bonfire became much warmer when it rose. Take out the dried fish and grill it. It would be much better when it was cooked. Shang Qian felt soft-hearted and gave it to Maomao. Maomao's gratitude bubbles all appeared, and kept saying, "This girl knows how to care for people." She sat next to Shang Qian, holding the dried fish and gnawed it all over the mouth, and mumbled her mouth and told everyone about Miao Buyan's affairs.
In fact, Miao Buyan’s affairs are not very complicated. It was the guy named "Ren" who was the ruler of this island. The island mentioned earlier is a place where time stagnates, so I will not repeat it here. On the contrary, the mermaids on this island did not enjoy this strange treatment. The mermaids on this island will also be born, old, sick and dead. The mermaids are different from humans and cannot practice. Even if their ancestors once established a huge marine empire for a while, they could not live with the heaven and earth. On the contrary, humans became more and more prosperous on the ground. In ancient times, humans began to use various means to resist those prehistoric beasts, and they could not avoid it.
The mermaids went to the endless ocean. Humans experienced the evolution from witches to cultivators, and experienced the order of the three realms to the separation of the three realms. The same is true for the mermaid empire. In the process of constantly fighting with the ancestor witches of humans in ancient times, they gradually realized the barbaric and powerful witches, and the characteristics of witchcraft that witchcraft does not require simple and easy-to-understand practice. This is undoubtedly ecstatic for mermaids. They not only avoid their own shortcomings, but also gain powerful power. Those iron chains with runes were specially forged by the ancestors of mermaids in order to suppress humans in the long history, and they reflected the rudeness and barbarity of witchcraft everywhere.
Mu Yuan grabbed Maomao's face in anger and pinched it. Maomao was sobbing. Shang Qian couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and knocked Mu Yuan's hand off and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
Mu Yuan replied angrily: "We are not here to listen to historical stories. We just want to know what happened to Shang Qian."
Maomao covered her little face and hid behind Shang Qian with tears in her eyes, and said, "You are too rude, aren't I going to say this?"
So I continued to talk about it immediately. I mentioned earlier that the mermaids could not extend their lifespan through practice. Then Ren was a clan member left over from the Mermaid Empire. How did he survive until now? The answer is obvious, that is witchcraft. He didn't know where he got a kind of witchcraft that could gain eternal life by eating people.
"Absurd!" Chu Xunyu sarcastically said, "Since ancient times, mermaids have been cannibalized, have they all obtained eternal life?"
"It must not be that simple." Maomao curled his lips angrily and told everyone that Ren's witchcraft is actually very skillful. Eating ordinary living people is useless, but is specifically used to deal with human cultivators. He needs to capture the living cultivators and send them over. He is sucked by Ren alive and clean the golden elixir or Nascent Soul. The foundation of Buddhism is naturally a relics. Because this is the fundamental essence of cultivators. Ren must absorb at least several of them every year to ensure that they nourish and replenish their bodies. This is why people see this so-called ghost island that appears and disappears on the sea every year, because they appear every year to capture the passing cultivators. There is no need to have more, and it is considered to be profitable.
"Isn't this unlucky?" Mu Yuan slapped his thigh, "When we ran into this broken island on the way to escape, we came to hunt?
"Escape? What's Escape?" Maomao was confused when he heard it.
"Nothing, nothing." Chu Xunyu casually said, and continued to ask, "What's wrong with Miao Buyan? Have you been sucked now?"
"That's not, it's not time yet." Maomao continued.
Ren will suck the golden elixir or Nascent Soul of the Cultivator every year on the full night of August 15th. Because as mentioned earlier, most monsters on the sea like to look at the moon and swallow. The moon belongs to Yin. The fifteenth day of August is especially the extreme Yin. The moon** flower nourishes various races on the earth, and the mermaids are no exception. Therefore, the witchcraft of Ren must be performed on this day in one year. Calculate the day, and at most one day will arrive. According to the rules of the mermaids, Miao Buyan will peel off his whole body after being caught and washes it, waiting for the arrival of the witchcraft ceremony tomorrow. The silver hairpin that Wangchen and others appeared in front of him came from it. According to convention, whenever a cultivator is captured, the things on his body will be snatched away by other mermaids around him.
Everyone was puzzled and Mu Yuan asked, "Then why is she the first one?"
Maomao asked Mu Yuan with hopeless eyes: "Have you ever caught fish? What do fish like to eat on weekdays?"
Chu Xunyu answered a little embarrassedly: "He can't kill animals on weekdays, so he doesn't fish much."
Indeed, the most tempting thing for fish is fish and insects, which is simply a delicacy served. The mermaid is also a fish. Coincidentally, Miao Buyan was born as a master, and the breath of insects was scattered from the top and bottom. When she arrived on the island, she was immediately exposed by the sleeping Ren, and then ordered people to capture her first and give priority to enjoy it. As for Wangchen and the others, according to the plan, they should be lined up behind and take it slowly.
Everyone understood this explanation, but then the trouble came again. According to the clues provided by Maomao, Miao Buyan should be confined to a place called "Sacrificial Platform". It is in the center of the island, and the center is the highest point of the mountain range on the island, and it is also the location of the palace where Ren usually sleeps. The Sacrifice Platform is not far from the palace. If you want to rescue Miao Buyan, it is very likely to alarm the mermaid Wang Ren.
"Then we will go over and save people secretly." Mu Yuan said happily.
"Impossible." Maomao pointed his hand at Chu Xun, "His sword is on Ren's hand."
Before Maomao said that everyone had not noticed it, then it was revealed that Chu Xunyu's long-lasting sword that had never left her body disappeared. Mu Yuan asked in surprise: "Where is your sword?"
It turns out that Ren has had a different obsession with sucking humans for so many years, so Chu Xunyu's sword is a sword of life and it is easy to attract Ren's attention. Ren has always liked to collect human weapons, so this sword must be in Ren's hands.
What Chu Xunyu was most worried about at this moment was that Ren didn't know what he would do to Ting'er. You should know that this monster has always controlled the island of death to hunt human cultivators. There must be ways to suppress Ting'er. You can know from the iron chains that Chu Xunyu and the others had touched before, so Chu Xunyu was always uneasy now.
But no matter what, everyone's opinions were consistent. Save the people first and steal Miao Buyan out. As for Chu Xunyu's sword, we have to find another way to do this, because when these two problems were not solved, Maomao gave everyone a third headache, that is - how to leave this damn island.
As we all know, the island is surrounded by tornadoes that never disperse all year round. It is not so simple that you can tie a raft and float out. What should I do? Maomao told everyone that the key is still on Ren. This wind is unusual, not ordinary worldly customs, it is the wind born from the water in the ocean, which is born in the water and connected to the sky. Ren has a fixed wind bead. This fixed wind bead is a spiritual creature in the world, and is nurtured in the deep sea. The mermaids were able to get this bead from all over the world. Only by taking this bead to cure the tornado can they escape. Therefore, Ren is also the only one on this island that can enter and exit freely.
Maomao's mouth was full of fragrance, holding her belly and leaning against the tree stump yawned. Shang Qian happened to change her clothes and sit over, so Maomao squinted her eyes and tried hard to get into Shang Qian's arms. Mu Yuan was furious when she saw this. She was about to do it but was stopped by Shang Qian. It turned out that girls were most disliked such furry things. She hugged them lovingly. Maomao turned over and showed her full belly, asking Shang Qian to scratch her belly. She turned her face and winked at Mu Yuan. Mu Yuan was so angry that she wanted to be crooked and her nose was slanted.
It was only then that the tail of the mao was not actually the same color, but the dark red and light red colors, interlaced with each other to form neat sections. The hair was very fluffy and comfortable. Shang Qian touched it in surprise and praised the tail hair as being really good.
Chu Xunyu absent-mindedly gnawing on the grilled fish and asked Maomao: "If Ren is very strong, we are not easy to attack. Do you have any solutions?"
"Yes." Shang Qian asked anxiously while scratching Maomao's belly, "Aren't you an immortal? There's always a way."
"Of course, then of course." Maomao smiled at the scratch, turned over and lay on Shang Qian's arm and said lazily, "I tell you, don't look at Ren's magical all day long, in fact, tomorrow is also the most vulnerable time of the year."
It turns out that the reason why Ren fell into a deep sleep was to avoid reducing activities. After sucking humans every year, he would lie there and remain motionless, which would avoid consuming himself. As mentioned earlier, Ren used this evil technique for eternity. The essence of a human monk was sucked by Ren to nourish his body, but this is limited, so he had to constantly hunt humans every year. Every year, the full moon night is almost the time when the human essence is consumed in the year of Ren. Therefore, as long as Miao Buyan can be saved and Ren is not allowed to suck it, you should know that Ren used such evil technique to force his life to prolong his life. Once the essence cannot be replenished in time, his body will age rapidly, and his strength will fall sharply at the same time.
Shang Qian was a little disappointed and asked Maomao: "Aren't you an immortal? You can't use a magic trick or something to defeat the mermaids and then take us out of here?"
Maomao was a little embarrassed, and stuttered, answering stammeringly: "Actually... Actually... I am not good at fighting this immortal."
"Come on." Mu Yuan mocked loudly, "If he had a way, he would still use it to hide from the island? He was chased and ran around?"
"This just proves that my strength makes the mermaids very scared." Maomao was unwilling to be outdone and found a face for himself.
Chu Xunyu's heart is now full of ups and downs. To be honest, he knows nothing about Ren's affairs, and he depends on Maomao's mouth to say it here. Maomao's own origins still need to be confirmed. The only clear goal now is to save people first. It is impossible not to save Miao Buyan. Wang Chen must fight with him. Moreover, according to what Maomao said, if it is true, then in order to defeat Ren, Miao Buyan must be saved. As for his sword and detailed information about Ren, Chu Xunyu can only take one step and look at it. He is going to catch a few mermaids along the way to inquire about the situation.
The idea was made, everyone changed into dry clothes, slept around the bonfire for two hours, then sorted out their things, and quietly advanced towards the center of the island...
