Chapter 36 Primordial Spirit Pearl
After a while, the girl couldn't help but asked curiously: "You said that your ship has crossbows and cannons. It must not be a merchant ship. Are you here to fight Japanese pirates?"
Wang Changfeng didn't want to reveal the truth, so he nodded and said: "That's right."
The girl glanced at him sideways and said, "You're a liar. It's just a boat like this. The Japanese pirates didn't know how they ate it. Since you don't want to tell me, I'm not interested in knowing, so don't ask me why I came in."
"
When she said that, Wang Changfeng remembered that she was patronizing him, and said with a smile: "I really came to hunt down bandits. The girl came here by herself, and I admire you very much. I don't know why?"
Wang Changfeng thought to himself that in the eyes of the court, Emperor Jianwen could be regarded as a first-rate bandit, and he was not deceiving the other party.
After a while, the girl said quietly: "Have you ever heard of the 'Yuan Shen Bead'?"
Wang Changfeng shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it. Is it magical?"
The girl nodded and said: "In general, some of the old monsters in the sea that are over a thousand years old will produce a bead in their belly, such as clams. This kind of bead has been polished by spitting for a long time and absorbed the essence of heaven and earth. If a person eats it, it can
It can prolong life, get rid of hundreds of poisons, and can even bring people back to life."
Wang Changfeng suddenly remembered that there was a similar record in "Records of Sea and Sky Foreign Lands", but when he heard it at first, he still couldn't believe it: "I know this, isn't it pearls? They are produced from clam shells. They can be ground into powder and used as medicine to reduce swelling.
It has the effect of removing dampness and can also beautify the face. It is a favorite among the ladies in the palace. However, I have never heard of prolonging life and getting rid of hundreds of poisons, and it is even more unheard of to bring the dead back to life."
The girl saw that he didn't believe it, so she snorted coldly and said: "You are an ordinary person with short-sighted eyes. What can you know? Although the soul beads in this old monster's belly are somewhat similar to those of clams, they are completely different.
.This kind of Soul Bead condenses the essence of heaven and earth that these old monsters have absorbed for a long time. It can also be said that without this bead, these old monsters cannot live that long."
Wang Changfeng seemed to understand a little, and said: "So, that bead is really magical. Are you here just for the Yuan Shen Bead?"
The girl nodded and said: "I have been asking for a long time before I found out that there is such a bead in the belly of the eight-armed Miyin Water God. However, this monster is usually under the deep sea and is difficult for ordinary people to reach. It can only be reached on a full moon night.
Only when it floats to the surface does it have a chance to do something."
After saying this, the girl suddenly hissed and whispered: "Old monster must have finished his meal. I have to take action. Do you want to come with me?"
Wang Changfeng nodded, thinking that I would have to follow you even if you don't tell me. Isn't it possible to wait here to die?
I saw the girl reaching out and patting somewhere on the wall. Suddenly, a round hole about a foot wide appeared in the wall. The girl stuck her head in and climbed into the hole in a few moments.
Wang Changfeng was dumbfounded when he saw it. It turned out that there was no door in this room, and the round hole was the passage in and out. However, the hole was too small. The girl was a little thinner than him before she could get through it. Although he was not
It's big and thick, and it doesn't look like it can get through.
While he was hesitating, a girl's voice came from inside: "Hurry, if you don't get out, this hole will be closed. I can't open it again!"
Wang Changfeng gritted his teeth and risked his life. He squatted down, stretched out his hands, and poked his head into the hole.
Wang Changfeng felt that the cave was very slippery and hot, and there seemed to be some mucus wrapped around his body. Fortunately, he climbed up smoothly. Although he was squeezed and breathless, the cave seemed alive and could be controlled by himself.
Thick and thin, Wang Changfeng used his hands and feet to finally crawl out from the other end.
As soon as it hit the ground, the hole closed with a snap, leaving no trace on the wall.
Wang Changfeng touched the mucus stuck to his body, smelled it again, and frowned. Although it had a fishy odor, it was not as unpleasant as the venom in the corridor just now. It must not be toxic at all.
The girl whispered: "Don't worry, this is the old monster's excrement, it's not poisonous."
Wang Changfeng almost vomited when he heard this. No wonder there was no venom in this room. It was the excretion channel of a giant octopus.
Wang Changfeng calmed down his breathing, looked at the corridor and countless windows in front of him, and said, "How do we get out? We won't have to get through the windows again, right?"
The girl signaled him to silence, then put her ear against the wall on the other side and listened carefully for a moment, then said, "Someone is coming, let's just follow them and get through without going through the window."
After saying that, he jumped up lightly and hung onto the palace lantern like a light swallow, with his two feet just hooked on the hook of the palace lantern.
Wang Changfeng shook his head, thinking that even if he could jump up, given his size and weight, the palace lantern's hook might not be able to support it.
The girl urged: "If you don't come up, it will be too late!"
I heard a rustling sound coming from the end of the corridor, as if a group of people were walking over.
Wang Changfeng gritted his teeth and jumped up. He had already grabbed the animal head on the other palace lantern with both hands. However, his feet did not hook the hook. Instead, he swung his body and stepped on the opposite wall, like a beam.
Hang between the palace lantern and the wall.
When the girl saw his appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, whether it was ridicule or appreciation.
Wang Changfeng didn't want to think about this, because he couldn't last long in this state, and now his legs were starting to feel a little stiff.
I saw a group of women in palace attire suddenly appear at the end of the corridor, each holding a wooden tray in their hands, some containing fruits and snacks, some with wine bottles and wine glasses, and so on.
It's just that the eyes of the palace maids were dull and they were looking straight ahead. The leader was an old man of half an age, who was hunched over and walked crookedly.
The girl made a gesture to indicate that she must not make any sound.
Wang Changfeng felt that his legs could no longer support him, so he finally waited until the group of people came closer.
However, the half-grown old man seemed to have discovered something. He suddenly stood on the spot, raised his nose and smelled everywhere. Wang Changfeng thought he had been discovered, and he was sweating.
The little old man shook his head and continued walking forward.
The girl made a downward gesture and jumped to the ground gently without making any sound.
Wang Changfeng's legs were sore. He gathered his breath and jumped down. Unexpectedly, he lost his footing and almost fell to the ground.
The girl glared at Wang Changfeng fiercely, but she walked a few steps and followed the group of palace maids to the back.
Wang Changfeng smiled sarcastically, and quickly gained momentum and chased after him.
The team reached the end of the corridor, but there was a wall.
I saw the half-grown old man raised his hand and scratched the wall, and a hole appeared in the wall that could only allow one person to pass through.
Wang Changfeng suddenly realized that the old man seemed to have only four long fingers, and there seemed to be webs between the fingers!
The girl seemed to have noticed this, and turned her head to signal Wang Changfeng to be quiet.
A group of people filed in through the hole. Wang Changfeng had just passed through, and when he looked back, the hole had closed behind him.
He turned around and was about to continue walking when the girl pulled him behind a screen next to him.
Wang Changfeng took a closer look and found that he was already in a huge hall. There was a three-story high platform in the back of the hall, with a soft couch on it, and a chubby child sitting on it.
The melodious sound of silk and bamboo came from somewhere nearby, and several palace maids were dancing gracefully under the stage. The palace maids also had dull eyes, but their movements were all uniform.
The half-grown old man directed the group of maids to file onto the high platform, knelt in a circle in front of the child, and held the tray in his hand above his head for the child to enjoy freely.
Wang Changfeng asked quietly: "Why is it a child? Where is the old monster?"
The girl did not turn her head and whispered: "That child is the soul of the old monster. The old monster cultivated the soul bead. Naturally, the beads also have spirituality, and they look like a child."
Wang Changfeng thought to himself that this old monster is almost becoming a spirit, and his soul has taken shape. He then asked: "I don't think that old man is a good person."
"That's not a human at all. It's a frog slave raised by the old monster. It can also be said to be a thug." The girl explained.
Wang Changfeng took a breath of air, no wonder he felt that the old man was not popular, that's why.
After thinking about it, Wang Changfeng asked tentatively: "You don't want to get that child away, do you?"
The girl rolled her eyes at him and said: "From now on, everything you hear and see may be illusions. You must guard the mourning platform closely and be sure not to be careless, otherwise I won't be able to save you if you are in danger."
Wang Changfeng saw that she was speaking solemnly, and nodded quickly, using the natural induction technique with his body to guard his Dantian.
The girl seemed to feel something and said, "You seem to know some breathing techniques?"
Wang Changfeng smiled and said: "I know a little bit about it."
The girl saw that he didn't want to say more and didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, I saw the child drinking a few glasses of wine and randomly eating some fruit, seemingly drowsy.
The girl shouted in a low voice: "No, it looks like the Yuan Shen Pearl is going back. I don't know when it will come out next time."
Wang Changfeng asked doubtfully: "You want to go up and grab it directly?"
The girl thought for a while, seemed a little undecided, and said, "If I go out, that Zhuzi will definitely run away when he sees me."
Wang Changfeng had already made a calculation in his mind and said: "I will go out and hold it back, and I will act with camera. You are secretly ready to take action at any time."
The girl said gratefully: "Be careful. If you are in danger, run away. Don't be brave."
Wang Changfeng felt hot in his heart, thinking that you haven't always been cold. You saved Mr. Wang's life just now, so this time you can repay your kindness.
