[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

Fang Tianzhi and his clothes threw himself into the lake.

The bone-piercing lake water rushed in, and the drenched monk's robe swelled around his body, and then he dived and fluttered behind him like a blue fin.He has long since survived the cold and heat, and now he does not feel that it is difficult to bear, and he just swam to the bottom of the lake freely.

Two or three meters away from the lake surface, the light at the bottom of the lake turns dark, and the water waves have a hazy turbid blue color, which is not as clear as it looks from the shore.After diving down to a depth of about ten feet, Fang Tian felt the bottom of the lake when he touched the hard ground.The sediment at the bottom of the lake is extremely shallow, and they are all undulating wet and slippery stones. He touched the nearby lake wall and looked at it with the faint light. His tentacles were also fine and neat strips of stones.Going to the center of the lake for more than ten feet, I found that the bottom of the lake was indeed deeper.

Fang Tianzhi is a well-educated leader of the Demon Cult, a second-level intellectual who holds an advanced certificate in general general knowledge of the underworld, and knows that in the terrain and climate in southern Fujian, most of the high mountains and lakes are volcanic lakes.I can't help but think, this mountain lake is shaped like a bowl, and the closer you go to the center of the lake, the deeper it becomes and it is difficult to see anything. Even if the people in Baiyujing buried treasures here, it might not be too high to build the secret room at the bottom of the volcanic lake. It is better to follow the lake wall Swim around first.

He is good at water, and he is like a fish in water with a shark skin bag, so he is currently diving around the lake wall alone.

For about half an hour, he swam around half of the lake, but he didn't see any unusual marks. He was thinking about surfacing to join the crowd, when he suddenly saw a long black shadow in the water of Youbi Lake.

Fang Tianzhi kicked lightly on the lake stone with his soles, and rushed forward a few feet towards the black shadow, while secretly mobilizing strength in his hands to prepare for capture.But the black shadow suddenly stretched out a long and thin arm, and made a move towards Fang Tianzhi, but he was suspended, and the two legs that were originally flat behind him also stood up, gently paddling the lake water.

Only then did Fang Tianzhi realize that it was a human being.

After swimming for more than ten feet, the two of them were very close, and he saw that the person was wearing a dark and close-fitting sharkskin swimsuit, with high black hair, a handsome face with a smile, and slightly opened his mouth to spit out a stream of water bubbles——

It was Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang had just seen who Fang Tianzhi was. After the two of them looked at each other and smiled, he pointed behind him, and then he slid upside down like a fish, turning over and swimming back a few feet.

Fang Tianzhi couldn't help being surprised when he saw that there were a few shriveled skin bags around his waist, but he seemed to be extremely at ease, and he didn't feel like he was holding his breath at all.But right now was not the time to talk, he immediately realized that maybe Chu Liuxiang had discovered something, and immediately followed closely.

The two swam three zhang forward, Chu Liuxiang stopped first, her feet sank, and she stepped lightly on the mossy stone at the bottom of the lake.

Fang Tianzhi was half a body behind him, and now he saw that the lake wall in front of him was sunken inwards into a hole, and there was a narrow stone gate four feet square in it.The two stone doors are tightly closed, and there is a damaged Xumeruo seat on the left and right sides of the door, and two vivid bluestone lotus flowers are carved on the seat!

"This must be a treasure!" Zhou Hao and Zhou Qi said in unison.

"That's right, I thought I had to search the lake to find the entrance to the secret room, but God helped me wait!" Lin Wangsun coughed violently again, his face became more and more flushed and sick in front of the burning fire pit by the lake, "Brother Chu really It's someone Lin's lucky star... Maybe this catastrophe of extermination can be eliminated after today!"

Chu Liuxiang didn't put on any clothes, but was still wearing that body and sat by the firepit to keep warm. Hearing this, he smiled lightly and said, "Brother Lin made fun of you. Now that the treasure is found, why don't you think about how to get in."

Lin Wangsun pondered and said: "Since the door is only four feet square and has no hinges, it can only be opened with brute force." With unparalleled divine power, we will have to rely on you to open this stone gate."

Fang Tianzhi nodded slightly: "The poor monk will do his best." After thinking for a while, he said, "It's just that the door is narrow, and at most two people can come in and out of it. Once it is opened, the lake will be filled with water. Be very careful that you don't get yourself out of your way."

Lin Wangsun Wenxu replied: "The master is right. We are fine, but we just need to take good care of the two girls."

After the discussion was over, everyone rested for a while, took Shen Mian and the bride with them, and dived back into the lake together.

This time, Chu Liuxiang and the others led the way, and it didn't take long for them to arrive in front of the stone gate.Fang Tianzhi saw that everyone was avoiding from a distance, or holding the lake walls on both sides, he was obviously ready, so he swam alone between the two Xumizuo, the air flowed through both feet, and he was as stable as if he was on land. Stepping on the gravel at the bottom of the lake.

This stone door is sunken in a hollow made by an artificial axe. Even the door frame is carved out of the rocks on the lake wall. Two small doors are embedded in it. The gap is as tight as a silk thread, and even a dagger cannot be inserted into it. .Fang Tianzhi put his hand on the stone fan, first used two points of prajna palm kung fu, and then gently pushed it in.

His push has the strength of a thousand catties, not to mention the power of the Prajna palm is like a huge wave, one wave is stronger than another, but the door does not show any sign of retreating, it just hums and trembles, and after a while, the two The thin mud and fine sand under Fang Xumi's seat couldn't hold on to them, and they floated up in all directions, turbid and swaying into the lake water.Lin Wangsun and others supported the lake wall with their hands, and they felt that the bottom of their palms and their feet were shaking continuously, and their faces changed slightly.

Fang Tianzhi pushed for a moment, then shook his head and withdrew his palm.The vibration caused by the stone gate just now is not only four feet away, it can be seen that there must be a connecting mechanism behind the gate, otherwise the force of thousands of catties will not be able to push it, and if you try to push it violently now, it may break it instead up.He thought about it for a while, and suddenly clasped his hands into claws, and scratched each of the two stone doors. At that moment, he dug out two bowl-sized holes on the door like kneading tofu. The broken stones and fine slags mixed with the shaken sand one after another.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Fang Tianzhi clasped his four fingers in the hollow, and immediately pulled his arms left and right.

This time, without waiting for him to exert more force, the Shimen trembled suddenly, the gap in the middle of the door suddenly opened, and it was ground and separated by several inches in the blink of an eye!

Fang Tianzhi kept the strength in his hand, turned his head and looked around at the crowd, signaling them to be cautious.And the stone gate got bigger and bigger as it opened its mouth to siphon the mouth of a whale, swallowing the slightly floating lake waves deep into its stomach. As the billowing wind blows past, Shen Mian and the bride are unable to stand on their feet, they immediately float up their waists, only relying on the support of someone beside them to keep them from being swept away, their faces turn pale with horror.

Fang Tianzhi opened the stone gate enough to allow people to pass through, so he plunged into the current and sneaked into the secret passage.Everyone followed, but they saw that the corridor in the door was extremely narrow, just as wide as the stone gate, and it was only a foot deep, and there was no way out in front of it - there was another closed stone gate at the end.As for the rushing water, they poured into the two arch holes dug at the end of the corridor past the second stone gate.

This arched hole is four feet wide and more than ten feet long, and it is undoubtedly a dead end.After everyone got into the corridor together, the newly opened stone cavity was filled with the lake water, and the water waves roiled back and forth for a moment before returning to calm.

Fang Tianzhi could see that the two stone gates outside were actually made of two huge stones cut into squares, which fit closely with the second stone gate at the end of the corridor, so it was no wonder that he pushed it hard to stay still.And this so-called corridor is nothing more than the gap between the two huge stones after they are separated.He had a good idea, so he signaled everyone to hide in the arches on both sides, while he leaned his back against the stone gate at the end, and poked his hands into the stone wall of the arches.

This probe did not come to fruition, but there happened to be two concave holes in the position where the hand was dropped.Fang Tianzhi groped along the hollow, and found two rusty iron ropes from it.The iron chain was connected to the depths of the hollow, several feet long, and as thick as a woman's arm. When Fang Tianzhi held it in his hand and pulled it, the end only swung in the lake water, and then slid heavily onto the rocky ground.

Why is there no knocker on the outside of this stone gate that can be pulled by people, but there are iron chains cast in the arched hole between the gates?

Has anyone ever pulled it together in the hole?

Fang Tianzhi only thought for a while, then grabbed the iron cable and pulled it vigorously.The boulder corridor responded with a bang and slowly closed towards the center.And as the boulder closed, the stone gate at the end of the corridor also roared and shook, and slowly opened.Everyone hid in the arched cave, which happened to avoid the suction of the lake's rewinding. When Fang Tianzhi closed the passage, the stone door behind him was also opened three feet, revealing a dark secret passage.

This secret passage was slightly upward sloping, and the large lake outside was blocked by the first stone gate that had been closed again. The arched cave could probably submerge a person's neck, and everyone was gasping for breath with their heads exposed. Lin Wangsun coughed and said, "Let's swim there first, and we'll talk after we get out of the lake."

Chu Liuxiang took out the fire folder from the oil paper bag in his arms, held it up high and ignited it, and with this swaying fire, everyone went upstream one by one along the corridor. After a while, the lake became shallower and shallower, and when they reached the height of the corridor, everyone was wet Shallow water trickled out, each of them took out the oiled paper parcels, and lit the candles they brought.

Under the light of the candlelight, there is still a deep bluestone corridor ahead, and behind everyone, at the end of the dark lake, the wall separated by the second huge stone narrow gate is half-submerged and half-exposed, and the two iron cables beside the arch are like It hangs down like a dead python, and only a faint shadow can be seen.

Everyone was silent for a while, but Chu Liuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: "These four huge stone gates alone weigh about tens of thousands of catties... How could Bai Yujing's people cover such a huge monster secretly?" It was transported to the bottom of the lake, and such an ingenious portal was carved out, such appalling things, I really don’t know how they did it.”

Zhang Su said coldly: "They claim to be immortals in Yujing, and they didn't know how much ill-gotten wealth they have amassed by crooked ways in the past. Naturally, they are willing to spend on such things as handed down from generation to generation, such as building a treasure chamber!"

Lin Wangsun was coughing continuously, he had to cover his lips with a handkerchief, he took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom with one hand, took a red pill and took it.After breathing for a while, he sighed: "Zhang Shibo is right. Such a secret room at the bottom of the lake has been built on such a large scale. It must be extremely dangerous. I really don't know if we can get out of it!"

Everyone was about to nod their heads, but Fang Tianzhi said, "According to this poor monk, there may not be any danger here."

It's just that just after he said this sentence, his heart trembled slightly, and his voice couldn't help but froze immediately——

On the personal panel of the holy monk system, a line of new status suddenly appeared.

[Debuff status: soft-hearted (very poisonous) 0 days 0:3:0 seconds (continuously refreshing)]

[Because you have practiced the "Bodhi Heart Sutra", you are immune to the debuff effect, and the toxin will disappear after the duration ends. 】

Lin Wangsun was listening attentively, and when he saw this, he asked: "What's the master's opinion?"

Fang Tianzhi immediately kept his composure and said calmly: "Although the two stone gates outside are heavy, the poor monk just opened the gates, but it only took two to three minutes of effort. I think there are clever tricks hidden on the left and right sides of the stone gates, but they are not good at strength. A martial arts master, the two of them working together are enough to open it."

Zhou Hao asked: "Even so, what does this have to do with the danger in the secret path?"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Liuxiang suddenly realized something, and said with a smile, "I understand what you mean, and it does make some sense." He looked up and saw everyone staring at him, and continued, "This treasure is buried deep at the bottom of the lake. With only the lotus key as proof, the city lord who wants to come to Baiyujing will never tell anyone about such a secret and important location."

Zhou Qi was puzzled and said, "What's the point? If it were you, would you be willing to tell others such a secret?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "So this secret treasure, only the city lord and the young city lord know about it. But what is hidden in this treasure? I guess it is nothing more than martial arts cheats and gold, silver, pearls and jade?" He looked at Lin Wangsun, " I don’t know if Brother Lin still remembers the bride sitting on the chariot to greet her relatives in Fubao Lane?”

Lin Wangsun was pondering to himself, and Chu Liuxiang said to himself: "If I read correctly, the whole body of the chariot is inlaid with white jade carvings! Such extravagance and extravagance can already be called a wealthy country, and there will naturally be no shortage of city lords who want to come to Baiyujing As for the martial arts secret books...their city lord already practiced this kind of martial arts, so why come to the treasure chest? And if there is a young city lord, wouldn't he ask his own father if he wants to learn martial arts?" He said Slowly asked, "Then who repaired this treasure? And why did it repair it? Could it be that it was specially reserved for the enemy, just waiting for us to come to eat and take it?"

Lin Wangsun seemed to have understood, clapped his hands and said: "Excellent! This treasure is useless at all, only when the person who knows this treasure can neither obtain martial arts secret books nor have any personal wealth, it will come in handy! "He couldn't help laughing, "In this way, Han Qi doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, but this treasure seems to be tailor-made for that city lord Fang!" Let's live together, seize the opportunity right now, and must not let it go, he is afraid that he will miss the treasure in this life."

Chu Liuxiang didn't answer, but only asked the bride: "Mrs. Fang Mufang asked you to be orphaned that day. Apart from giving you the key to the treasure, did she give you any other instructions?"

The bride's cheeks were pale from the freezing lake water, and she shook her head tremblingly: "She only said that if no one comes to pick up Tianzhi, she will ask him to come here to take the treasure, and take the opportunity to go to sea and take back Yujing City."

Lin Wangsun asked: "Didn't she mention the trap in the treasure and tell City Lord Fang to be very careful when the time comes?"

The bride's tone was firm, and she said in a low voice: "I haven't told you anything. If she mentions such an important matter that concerns Tianzhi's life, I will definitely remember it."

Chu Liuxiang said leisurely: "It seems that Mrs. Fang is very worried about the safety of her own son, as if taking away the treasure is like picking something out of a bag." He cast a glance at Fang Tianzhi, smiled brightly, "Chu's The guess coincides with Brother Xue Jing?"

Fang Tian said together: "Amitabha!"

Zhou Hao and Zhou Qi finally cleared up their doubts at this time, and said in unison, "You mean, there is no dangerous mechanism in this treasure?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "It's just a bold guess. Mrs. Fang... was in danger and left her alone. She didn't think carefully and she didn't know. Or maybe she didn't know the details, so she couldn't entrust her. Donors, please cheer up and be careful. wonderful."

Lin Wangsun coughed and nodded, and said: "It's useless to talk, let's take a look forward." He gently took Shen Mian's jade wrist, and said softly, "Follow me closely and stand behind me."

Shen Mian's wet clothes were half attached to her body, making her look more and more delicate and charming. She stroked her heart with one hand, and only frowned when she heard this.

Lin Wangsun hurriedly asked: "Are you okay? Do you feel very cold, should you change into dry clothes?"

Shen Mian shook her head, and said in a trembling voice: "I... I'm just a little scared. I feel tight in my chest, my hands and feet are weak, and I don't have any strength."

Lin Wangsun comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. It's deep in the bottom of the lake, and there's no ventilation for a long time, so it's inevitable that the air won't be smooth. Let's walk slowly, and you'll feel better after a while."

Before Zhou Hao and Zhou Qi spoke, some people could not hear his gentle whispers.

The shadow of the candle flashed, Zhang Su suddenly rushed to the front alone, held the candle and strode away, saying coldly: "During it! I'll find the way, you just follow slowly!"

Chu Liuxiang looked at his back and sighed, and said helplessly, "Let's keep up too, so as not to be too late."

The bride's expression was quite panic all the time, now she hurriedly moved to Fang Tianzhi's side, and said: "Master, I am also very scared, you are merciful, please don't leave me alone!"

At this time, everyone had gone with Zhang Su, and Fang Tianzhi slowly landed at the end, avoiding her approaching arm lightly, and said kindly: "Don't worry, the benefactor, the poor monk will not leave you alone. Just don't drag and pull .”

The bride didn't agree, and politely said: "Yes, yes."

Fang Tianzhi raised his arm to ask, and said: "The almsgiver should walk in front of the poor monk, so that the poor monk can take care of him."

The bride was also obedient, and stopped entanglement after hearing the words, and followed the flickering candles in front of her step by step.Fang Tianzhi, on the other hand, focused on two purposes, still looking at his personal panel——

[Debuff status: soft-hearted (very poisonous) 0 days 0:3:0 seconds (continuously refreshing)]

[Because you have practiced the "Bodhi Heart Sutra", you are immune to the debuff effect, and the toxin will disappear after the duration ends. 】

He stared intently at the two lines of small print for a while.The duration of this line, as expected, has not changed at all since the beginning, it has stayed at 3 minutes.

This can only illustrate one problem -

After entering the secret passage, he was constantly being poisoned!

Fang Tianzhi thought quickly, how did he get poisoned since he swam out of the lake without a drop of water or a grain of rice in it?

Is it poisonous on the iron chain?Is it because there is poisonous gas in the secret path of the treasure?

If not, what else would make him keep refreshing the poison time?

Fang Tianzhi walked with a candle in his hand, the dark back of the bride in front of him was stretched and twisted by the candlelight, swaying and crawling on the green brick he stepped on.Suddenly, a drop of wax tear gushed out from the wick of the candle, and it fell silently on his fingertip.

He stopped suddenly, and looked down as if feeling something——
