【666】The test of the demon well(1/2)
"Uncle Master?"
As soon as these words came out, I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, thinking to myself that if Zhang Tianshi could call him "Uncle Master" so respectfully, could it be that the people in this "Devil-Conquering Hall" are actually the elders of Longhu Mountain?
Thinking suspiciously in my heart, I took a closer look at the "Palace of Conquering Demons" in front of me. I was shocked to find that the door was tightly locked with iron chains, and there were two painted talismans on it.
Text seal.
Judging from the color, these two seals must be quite old, but the runes on them are still clearly visible, and at the same time they give people a sense of mystery. At first glance, they are not ordinary seals.
I was staring at the runes on the seal in a daze when an unusually old voice sounded in the hall: "Come in!"
"yes!"
Nodding respectfully, Master Zhang then led us in through a side door.
However, as soon as I stepped through the palace gate, I couldn't help but shiver, and a bone-chilling chill rushed over me, covering me almost instantly!
"Um?"
While I frowned, I immediately became alert, and my right hand subconsciously pressed on my Qiankun Bag. If anything went wrong at all, I would immediately pull out my Thunder Sword!
"Relax!"
At this moment, Xia Wuren couldn't help but quickly tugged at the corner of my clothes, and lowered his voice and said: "It's okay, this is just a normal phenomenon! It is said that there has been a seal in the Demon Subduing Palace in Longhu Mountain since a long time ago.
Demon Suppressing Well, I think this chill should be emanating from this Demon Suppressing Well!"
"Yeah?"
I nodded doubtfully, and then I felt a little relieved, but I still maintained enough vigilance, and then I followed Xia Wuren and cautiously walked into the "Palace of Demon Suppression"!
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the hall, I found an ancient well as big as a basket with a half-covered manhole cover. I thought this should be the "demon-suppressing well" in Xia Wuren's words!
Not only that, on the edge of the ancient well, there was an old Taoist with white hair and eyebrows sitting cross-legged. The old Taoist looked like a "fairy-like Taoist", but he gave people a very majestic feeling.
From the moment I walked in, he kept looking at me with his eyes, and when he looked at me like this, I felt as if my whole body had been stripped naked, and there was no secret at all.
"Uncle Master!"
Zhang Tianshi stepped forward, first bowed respectfully to the old Taoist, and was about to introduce something to us, but was interrupted by the old Taoist. He raised his left hand slightly, and pointed to the half-covered door on the side.
The manhole cover said to me with an unquestionable look on his face: "Let's take a look!"
"Um?"
Based on what he said, could it be that he wanted me to take a look at the so-called "demon-suppressing well"?
My heart became more and more uncertain, and I subconsciously glanced at Zhang Tianshi next to me, only to see Zhang Tianshi nodded to me with the same calm expression, indicating that I should just do as I was told.
"this……"
After weighing it again and again, I finally walked up bravely and stretched my head straight to the mouth of the well. When I looked closely, I could only see darkness inside. Apart from that, I couldn't see anything.
The so-called "demon-suppressing well", judging from its surface, does not seem to be much different from ordinary ancient wells. At least I don't see anything magical about this "demon-suppressing well".
So I subconsciously raised my head again and looked at the old man suspiciously.
"Um?"
Seeing me looking up, the old man couldn't help but was also stunned, and then asked: "What did you see?"
"Replying to the seniors, the juniors saw nothing but darkness!"
"oh?"
As soon as these words came out, not only the old Taoist was stunned, but also Zhang Tianshi on the side couldn't help being dumbfounded on the spot, and said with some surprise: "Are you sure you didn't see anything?"
"yes!"
I nodded suspiciously. I was a little confused by them. I couldn't help but muttered: "Is there any problem with this?"
"I'll try it too!"
Seeing the expressions of the two of them saying "what a ghost", Xia Wuren immediately became interested, pulled me aside, and then put his head into the mouth of the well as well.
"ah--"
What made me quite surprised was that almost as soon as Xia Wuren put his head into the well, he couldn't help but show an extremely frightened expression on his face, and he couldn't help but scream on the spot!
At the same time, I noticed that there was dense cold sweat on his forehead, and he looked like he was working hard.
"Ah? This..."
I glanced at the Tianshi Zhang and the elder Chuan Gong with some confusion, and I couldn't help but walked forward, planning to wake up Xia Wuren! However, the Tianshi Zhang next to me couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly stopped me: "
Absolutely not, this is the test of the Demon Suppressing Well, unless you wait until the test is over, you must not wake it up midway!"
"Don't worry!"
Perhaps seeing the worry on my face, Zhang Tianshi quickly comforted me and said: "It's just a test. Even if he fails the test, he will naturally wake up when the time comes! It won't do him any harm!"
"All right!"
Once I heard that this would not cause any harm to Xia Wuren, I felt a little at ease and waited quietly aside.
Time passed like this minute by minute, and it was actually a full seven hours. Seeing that it was almost dawn, Xia Wuren still didn't make any movement, and had no intention of waking up.
What worries me even more is that at this time, his face is covered with sweat, and his whole body is almost soaked with sweat. I really don’t know what kind of terrifying thing is in the demon-suppressing well.
"Fu Wang" was so frightened.
"Don't be impatient!"
Seeing that I had lost my patience, even the taciturn elder Chuan Gong couldn't help but persuade him: "This Xia Wuren is not an ordinary person, and the test he has undergone is naturally extraordinary! Not to mention just seven hours, even if
It’s seven days, so it’s not completely impossible!”
"ah?"
As soon as this statement came out, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded on the spot. I thought, will it take so long?
But we don’t have so much time at all? The time agreed between me and the old palace master of Tianchi Palace is getting closer and closer. If we don’t set off and rush to Changbai Mountain as soon as possible, it will be too late by then!
The problem is, I can't leave Xia Wuren here alone, right?
What's more, if we want to rescue Tianchi Palace and his party, Xia Wuren is also an extremely important part of it! The reason why we are so eager to "reshape the body" for Xia Wuren is that we originally wanted to rely on his attainments in rune formations.
If we don't go, the difficulty of rescuing Tianchi Palace on this trip may be higher than we imagined!
what to do?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but become more anxious, but there was nothing I could do. I could only pray secretly in my heart that Xia Wuren must wake up early, otherwise I would have to rush to Changbai Mountain alone.
As for Xia Wuren who is undergoing the test here, I plan to call back and ask Master Dian to send someone else over...
Fortunately, things did not reach this point. Almost when I was about to call someone back, Xia Wuren finally woke up from the ordeal. At this time, Xia Wuren had just put his head into the well, but he had already
A full day and night passed!
"call--"
He breathed a long sigh of relief, and Xia Wuren staggered suddenly. Fortunately, I had quick eyesight and quick hands, and I helped him in time!
It can be clearly seen that Xia Wuren was very tired at this time. If I hadn't held him up, he would have almost collapsed to the ground.
But the strange thing is that there was actually a trace of excitement in his eyes. At the same time, he bowed respectfully to Master Zhang and the elder Chuan Gong, and said with gratitude on his face: "Thank you very much!"
Thank you?
It is hard to imagine that such an arrogant person as Xia Wuren would express his sincere thanks to Zhang Tianshi and the elder Chuan Gong? Could it be said that he actually gained something from this "Demon Suppressing Well"?
"Try again!"
The elder Chuan Gong ignored Xia Wuren's thanks at all, but directly glanced at me again, and at the same time pointed at the dark mouth of the well.
"Um!"
Seeing that Xia Wuren was not seriously injured, but seemed to have benefited a lot, I completely dispelled my doubts.
I nodded and handed Xia Wuren to Zhang Tianshi to take care of me. I quickly stretched my head to the mouth of the well and looked at it with all my concentration!
The strange thing is that I still didn't find anything unusual. Looking at it horizontally and vertically, it seems that this is just an ordinary ancient well?
"strangeness!"
Seeing that I still found nothing, Master Zhang couldn't help but become more and more confused. But I really couldn't see the reason, so I couldn't help but raise my head again.
At this moment, the elder who taught the gong couldn't help but shouted at me: "Don't move!"
As soon as he finished speaking, I inadvertently noticed that a strange color flashed across his eyes. Before I could react, his right hand suddenly rose, and the half-covered manhole cover was lifted instantly.
The dark wellhead was completely exposed before my eyes.
"Uncle Master!"
Seeing this scene, even Zhang Tianshi couldn't help being startled, and couldn't help but scream on the spot!
Before I could react, a "buzzing" sound suddenly came from my head, and then I didn't know anything at all!
After a moment's hesitation, when I reacted again, the scene in front of me had changed drastically in an instant.
"kill!"
In an instant, countless demons and ghosts rushed towards me, shouting and killing me, which only made my scalp numb for a while.
To be continued...
