Chapter 131 Treasure Ship Temple
Chapter 131 Treasure Ship Temple
The others rushed outwards, trying to escape from the realm of ghosts and gods on the stone ship, fearing that their parents had been born with two more legs. Only Chen Shi and his companions went in the opposite direction, running towards the surging realm of ghosts and gods.
Many people passed by them, and pairs of surprised eyes fell on them. Li Xiaozheng was already wearing a mask at this moment. The mask was just bought from a peddler's stall. It was a pig-face mask for teenagers. The big round face could just cover his features.
After all, he was familiar with the masters in various major families and was worried about his true identity being discovered.
Li Xiaozheng used his Yuan Shen to protect Chen Shi, Li Tianqing and Hei Guo, thinking: "These two little guys and the dog are incredibly brave. If it were me, I would never dare to get on the boat at this time!"
The last time he and Li Tianqing boarded the stone boat, he knew how terrifying it was.
On the boat, you can't touch anything, not even your feet on the ground.
If it is touched even slightly, it will immediately trigger the ghost and god realm of the stone ship and turn everything into stone!
With his cultivation level at the God Descent Realm, he could temporarily slow down the speed of petrification, but it was only temporary.
He had a high level of cultivation and keen senses, and could even feel his blood flow rate slowing down, his heart function rapidly declining, his bone marrow no longer producing blood, but slowly turning into stone. His joints were also slowly becoming stiff, and his hair was turning into stone strands.
The most terrifying thing is that his soul, his divine fetus, was also petrified!
Even his true energy gradually became stagnant and difficult to circulate!
Faced with such a situation, anyone would feel great fear, that is the fear of realizing that one is slowly approaching death!
Many people are not afraid of death, but when you can clearly feel that death is approaching, getting closer and closer, and slowly taking your life, this fear will directly crush your determination!
"Om-"
With strange vibrations, they rushed into the ghost realm of the stone ship. The dilapidated dock in front of them immediately became as bright as new, the cliff where the stone ship was docked became a huge dock, and the stone ship standing on the cliff was now transformed into a Ming treasure ship with sails and flags flying in the wind!
Wow!
The dry riverbed was filled with sudden water, huge waves hit the shore, the Ming treasure ship swayed, tilted towards Dejiang, and was about to slide into the Dejiang River!
"Time is urgent, Black Pot, keep an eye on the time!"
Chen Shi ran towards the Ming treasure ship and said quickly, "There is only three quarters of a second left. Remind us at the last minute!"
Black Pot yelled.
At this time, Xu Changsheng, the patriarch of the Xu family, had already rushed high into the sky, escaping from the ghost and god realm of the Ming treasure ship, and he was still in fear.
With his strength, he was able to resist the petrification for a while, but he was old and valued his life more than anything else, so he escaped as soon as possible.
He looked down and thought, "I wonder if my Xu family disciples can escape? But it should be possible, right? But a few disciples will die... Hey, why are those people going against the flow?"
His eyes fell on Chen Shi and others. He saw Chen Shi, three men and a dog rushing against the current towards the treasure ship and had already arrived under the ship.
"That middle-aged man looks familiar..."
His face changed slightly, and he immediately thought of the key point, "Governor Li really has some skills! This kid is using us as a stepping stone!"
His expression was uncertain, he gritted his teeth, and fell down, heading straight for the Xu family's children!
"Li Xiaozheng, you want to fool me and the Xu family? You're dreaming!"
When Chen Shi and others arrived in front of the Ming treasure ship, Li Xiaozheng was about to say that the treasure ship must not be touched, but when he thought that the ghost and god domain of the treasure ship had already been spread out, he swallowed his words.
Chen Shi picked up the black pot and jumped onto the treasure ship. Li Xiaozheng and Li Tianqing also boarded the ship.
Li Xiaozheng was using his own magical powers from the divine realm to protect them at this moment, and he immediately felt the invasion of the realm of ghosts and gods. His magical powers felt faintly sluggish, as if they were about to turn into stone.
He fought against the realm of ghosts and gods with all his might, but the feeling of impending death came again, and fear enveloped his heart.
He saw that three quarters of an hour later, his soul turned to stone and his body died!
At this time, Chen Shi and Li Tianqing also realized the influence of the ghost and god realm of the Ming treasure ship on themselves, and clearly judged their own death time.
This is the peculiarity of the treasure ship realm.
Everyone's life and death is clearly marked the moment they step into this realm.
The deck of the treasure ship was filled with petrified people, including primordial spirits several feet tall and primordial infants a few feet tall, which had also turned into fossils.
Chen Shi was walking in a hurry and stepped on a round ball, almost slipping. When he looked closely, he found that it was a petrified golden elixir.
There are many such golden pills on the ground.
It should be the result of the petrification of the golden elixir of those Jindan realm masters who boarded the treasure ship.
"Come with me!"
Li Tianqing had already boarded the treasure ship for the fifth time. He immediately led the way in front and said quickly, "I have already cracked all the restrictions leading to the head of Shiji, except for the talisman formation! Don't go to other places, there are still terrible restrictions in those places!"
Others did not have the ability to break the seal, but Li Tianqing was well-read and extremely knowledgeable. His first four times on board were to break the seal on the ship, but the other members of the Li family were too slow, resulting in the army being annihilated again and again.
The fourth time he boarded the ship with Li Xiaozheng, and things went much more smoothly. He searched all the way and could have obtained the head of Shiji, but he encountered the talisman formation set up by Chen Shi’s grandfather, and he couldn’t break it, resulting in failure.
He was familiar with the route and led Chen Shi, Li Xiaozheng and others through the pavilion on the ship.
Chen Shi looked around. This ship was 44 zhang long and 18 zhang wide. There were huge crossbow carts parked on the deck. The arrows were as thick as arms and the arrowheads were the size of washbasins. The tails of the arrows were tied with black iron chains. The chains were very thin and were coiled around the crossbow carts very heavily.
I wonder what prey such a terrifying arrow is used to shoot.
Li Tianqing led them quickly into a building, walked down a flight of stairs, turned a few corners, and then they entered the cabin.
On both sides of the cabin are the places where sailors and Ming Dynasty soldiers live. There are houses one after another, and a corridor in the middle. The corridor is full of stone men in various poses.
Li Tianqing walked quickly forward and passed between the stone men. Chen Shi followed him and hurriedly looked at the rooms where the sailors and soldiers lived. He was startled: "Is the interior space so large?"
The house that came into his sight had an unexpectedly large interior space, almost as big as his own yard.
However, judging from the two adjacent rooms, the internal space was about the size of a house, a little cramped, but what he actually saw was about ten times the size!
Chen Shi casually slapped a house, and immediately the talisman hidden on the inner wall of the house appeared. It was a huge Taotie pattern with a big open mouth on the roof, and the mouth happened to be the door to the sailor's room!
"I see!"
Chen Shi realized that Taotie was a legendary gluttonous beast that only ate and did not defecate. There was infinite space in its stomach so it could keep eating.
The Ming Dynasty's talisman master carved a Taotie talisman in the cabin to expand the originally small space so that more people could accommodate it!
"Xiao Shi, hurry up and catch up!" Li Tianqing said, turning back.
Chen Shi hurried to catch up with him. The space in front of them suddenly opened up, like a meeting hall, 180 feet long and wide, and 40 to 50 feet high. A huge white tiger skin was hung in the middle, and there were seven seats on both sides, with the seven chairs neatly arranged.
The seven chairs were carved from stone and were extremely tall. When they walked over, they were not even as tall as the legs of the chairs. Behind the chairs hung star maps.
"Beware the tiger skin!"
Li Tianqing said quickly, "Don't look into the eyes on the tiger skin, otherwise the white tiger will be resurrected with a tiger head and a human body, and it will become a primordial spirit, which is extremely powerful and will kill people! If you touch the White Tiger God, the seven stars under the jurisdiction of the mythical beast White Tiger will appear on those chairs, Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, Bi, Zi, and Shen, and they will start a killing spree, and no one can escape!"
Chen Shi did not look up at the white tiger skin, but glanced around with the corner of his eyes. He saw many petrified limbs and traces of gnawing on the ground. He thought that someone had come here and triggered the tiger, resulting in a violent death.
Li Tianqing led them through the White Tiger Hall of the West Palace and then into the Canglong Hall of the East Palace. There were dragon bones hanging on the hall, but it was unknown whether they were real or fake. There were also seven chairs in the hall, which should be the stars of the East Palace.
Chen Shi thought to himself, "If there are two palaces, the East and West, there must be two palaces, the North and South. If you come from other roads, you will most likely encounter these two halls."
They didn't dare to explore, so they passed through the Canglong Hall in the East Palace and passed a vegetable field.
That’s right, there is actually a vegetable garden inside the Ming treasure ship!
Chen Shi's eyes widened as he saw that the vegetable field was lush and green, and was actually full of all kinds of fruits and vegetables!
There are more than a hundred ridges in the vegetable field, each ridge is three feet six wide and fifty to sixty feet long!
Chen Shi picked a bright red tomato, took a bite, and it was sour and sweet, moistening his taste buds and producing saliva, and it was very smooth and refreshing.
The fruits and vegetables in this field can actually be eaten!
He looked up and saw a huge soul head hanging in the air above the space inside the ship. It had a swallowtail beard and hair sticking out in all directions. Its eyes were like two huge fireballs, illuminating the vegetable field, replacing the sun and the moon.
"After six hours, the eyes of the spirit will turn into moonlight, which will be extremely dangerous!"
Li Tianqing said quickly, "Being illuminated by the moon eyes of this soul head may cause the risk of evil transformation!"
Behind the vegetable field is a field of crops where corn, potatoes, wheat, rice and other crops are planted.
They ran over and heard the cries of chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, pigs and horses. They found themselves at a farm where many animals were raised, and these animals were still alive!
The shock these places brought to Chen Shi was a hundred times more shocking than the Canglong and Baihu Palaces he encountered on the road!
Finally, they entered the core of the Ming treasure ship, an ancient temple inside the cabin.
The ancient temple in the boat is majestic and magnificent.
They walked on the stone steps in front of the temple and felt insignificant.
Chen Shi followed Li Tianqing and quickly climbed the stone steps to the front of the temple, looking up at the lintel on the temple door.
"Shiji Niangniang Temple!"
He calmed himself down and followed Li Tianqing into the temple.
The main hall of the temple is where the real body of Niangniang Shiji is enshrined. Before he even stepped into it, Chen Shi couldn't help but groan, his soul trembled, his true energy dimmed, and his mind was almost frozen!
An extremely terrifying and shocking aura of gods and demons emanated from the temple, which made him instantly feel the greatness of the true God. The gods and demons in the ancient temple before him were so great, while he was just a drop in the ocean in front of the gods and demons, so small and insignificant.
No matter how strong one's faith is, it will be shattered in the face of such a huge gap!
At this time, Li Xiaozheng's aura covered them and helped them block the aura of Niangniang Shiji. Chen Shi's mentality returned to normal, but looking at Li Xiaozheng's face, he was not feeling well under the pressure from the temple.
Everyone stepped into the hall.
The first thing that catches your eye is the head of a beautiful woman enshrined in the shrine in the center of the hall.
When Chen Shi had heard Li Xiaozheng's description before, he already had an impression in his mind that it was a stone carved into the shape of a beautiful woman's face, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he realized it was so big!
It was a stone the size of a table, placed in the center of the shrine. In front of it was a beauty with clear features, like one who had walked out of a painting or calligraphy. Her headdress was in the style of ancient times, and her hair was tied up in a bun with a handkerchief.
However, the stone has traces of burning, and the surface is a little mottled and peeling, which destroys the beauty's face. But if you look closely, you can still see that it must have been extremely beautiful back then.
In front of the head of Shiji, there were some petrified corpses scattered on the ground, in pieces. It didn’t look like they were killed after being petrified, but rather like they entered the temple and died under magic!
Chen Shi motioned for everyone to stop and look around, and saw that talismans were painted everywhere in the hall. Unlike the huge talismans on the Ming treasure ship, these talismans were extremely small, like meticulous paintings, painted everywhere in the hall with fine brushstrokes.
Some are talismans, some are scrolls, and some are seal characters that record the words of gods and demons.
Countless extremely complex talismans are perfectly combined to form a whole. Touching any one of them will result in a devastating blow!
As soon as they stepped into the hall, they had already activated these talismans. They saw that the walls, dome, and ground of the hall were all lit up with talismans. Many yellow talisman-shaped lights stood in the air. The runes were vermilion, contrasting with the yellow light.
Gradually, the whispers of gods and demons could be heard by everyone, and for a moment, all sorts of random thoughts filled their minds.
Chen Shi looked around. These were the talismans in large characters left by his grandfather. Various talismans could be found there!
However, some of the talismans have been broken and are incomplete.
"Give me a quarter of an hour and I can crack it."
Chen Shi put down the bookcase, squatted down, and took out a knife. Hei Guo hurried forward and asked him to draw blood.
Li Tianqing helped to grind the ink.
Chen Shi held the pen and Li Tianqing held the ink. They took a step forward. Chen Shi looked at the talisman floating in front of him. Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. He saw more than a dozen Xu family members carrying a bamboo sedan chair and walking towards them quickly.
There was a white-haired old man sitting in the sedan chair. It was Xu Changsheng, who had fallen asleep. There was a young woman next to him holding the tip of a rat tail, rubbing the old man's forehead from time to time.
"I sold the rat's tail tip!"
Chen Shi was stunned. Haoziweijian and Xu family's Yunmeng Dafa were a match made in heaven!
Xu Changsheng fell into a dream, white clouds were curling, and the old man's soul was smiling, his sleeves fluttering, his feet on the clouds, carrying everyone and flying towards the temple.
At this time, there was another mirror light shining and flashing rapidly. Six or seven people were standing in the mirror and they came to the front of the temple following the mirror light!
Uncle Zhang Wen, the elder of the Zhang family, landed with several members of the Zhang family. He stroked his beard and laughed, "I heard that my nephew Xiaozheng was trapped in this Ming treasure ship. My heart was broken, so I led the Zhang family members to rescue him! I never thought..."
With a fierce look in his eyes, he summoned the Zhang family's Dongxu Mirror and said with a sad face, "My nephew died in the treasure ship!"
"Boom!"
The Ming treasure ship tilted and slid into Dejiang River. There were many huge wooden signs on the ship with wind symbols painted on them. When the wind symbols were activated, the sails were filled with wind.
The treasure ship sailed along the river, with mountains looming ahead. The river was surging, and Gun was clearing the way in the water, sailing in front of the ship.
The water of Dejiang River flows straight into an underground river that runs through the cliff.
And above the river is the tomb of the true king.
