Chapter 205 Obtaining the Spiritual Pill and Advancing to the Dan Embrace Realm

Seeing Peng Yingyu jump into the treasure entrance, the others looked at each other and jumped onto the clam shell closest to them.

Then a mysterious force lifted up the clam shell and slowly moved it into the cave.

The clam shell was very big, and it was enough for Chen Jie and his group to stand on one clam shell.

But there were also some groups that were more crowded, such as Battan's group, who brought fifty or sixty people.

Then there was that evil old woman who was a wandering cultivator in the martial arts world. She really came here to rob people, and she brought nearly a hundred people with her. This shell could only hold about twenty people, but with these two groups, there were at least thirty people standing on one shell, and it was very crowded.

No one knows who designed this mechanism, but it actually goes straight into the body of the mirage.

Everyone stood on the shell, as if they were sitting on a small boat and entering a dark water cave.

The winding path was dark and no one could be seen. Everyone seemed to be in a small boat, swaying as they entered the tunnel. They could only feel a magical force dragging the shell, which was very strange.

There was no light around, it was gray and pitch dark.

Chen Jie lit the torch he had brought with him, and instantly a ball of light illuminated them.

Light was a comfort to people in the darkness. With the light, the fear in their hearts was reduced a lot. At this time, the fire illuminated the surroundings, and everyone could finally see clearly that the big guy was walking through a tunnel.

The tunnel was very narrow, and one could even touch many of the rock walls with one's hands. However, Chen Jie and the others did not touch them first because the rock walls were very peculiar.

What's so special about it?

The rock wall was pink and trembling, as if it were alive. It also looked damp and wet. Chen Jie stared at it in amazement. Old Monster Liu swallowed his saliva and said, "Oh my god, this wall can't be alive. Look, it's still trembling."

After hearing this, everyone looked towards the rock wall. Sure enough, the rock wall seemed to be alive, shrinking and retracting. It looked very strange. Chen Jie took a torch and wanted to take a closer look, but found that the rock wall actually retreated when it came into contact with the fire.

This thing clearly doesn't like fire.

Ah San, who was standing by, said, "Chen Jiusi, try burning it with a torch."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Asan. This kid is too fierce. How dare you burn this thing?
Chen Jie looked at Ah San and said, "Master San, we are obviously in the belly of that huge mirage now. Even the masters of the Heavenly Ranking dare not easily attack this thing. We should not seek our own death. What do you think?"

Ah San heard this and said, "You are too timid. There are so many of us, and you are still afraid of this big monster. Even if we are in its stomach, do you believe that I can tear open its stomach and get out?"

Chen Jie didn't say anything. At this time, Ah Da said, "Shut up, Ah San. It's ok if you want to die, but the princess is still here. Do you still want the princess to die with you?"

Ah San looked back after hearing this. Zhao Ya, who had remained silent, immediately scratched her head and said, "Princess, I, I didn't mean that. I, I just..."

Zhao Ya said, "Don't act rashly. Even the experts on the Heavenly Ranking couldn't catch this mirage, which shows that it is very advanced. Don't move rashly."

After hearing this, no one dared to move.

Zhao Ya looked at the crowded tunnel in front of her with the help of the firelight: "This... should be the mirage's esophagus!"

After hearing this, everyone's eyes widened. Esophagus?

Such a wide esophagus? How big is this thing?
Thinking of this, everyone's faces became strange. They felt that the part of the mirage floating on the water was probably only a very small part of its body, and the larger part was still buried under the water.

Just like the picture of an iceberg we see, only a small part is above the water, and the largest part is still buried under the water.

Zhao Ya looked at the cave walls around her and said, "Okay, everyone stay seated. Don't fall down, or it will be very dangerous."

Hearing this, the others closed their mouths and shrank back into the shell.

Ah San said at this time: "Hey, if this is the esophagus of the mirage, doesn't that mean this is the mirage's flesh, and the mirage meat is the Tai Sui meat? If we can cut some Tai Sui meat here, then our trip won't be in vain!"

After hearing this, everyone was stunned. After a pause, they looked at Ah San and said, "What you said makes sense."

Zhao Ya heard this and said, "You're risking your life. Be careful and don't mess around."

As Zhao Ya was saying this, she suddenly heard a cheer from behind her: "It's been cut off, it's been cut off."

Hearing this sound, everyone was stunned, but the next moment, the guy who was cheering just now suddenly screamed: "Ah, ah..."

Hearing this, everyone looked and saw that on the shell not far away stood the subordinate of the lone demon grandma who had fought with Yu Meizi.

At this time, one of the men took a knife, cut a cut on the wall of the cave, and then cut off a piece of Tai Sui meat.

But before he could be happy, suddenly a hole appeared on the wall of the cave, and a cylindrical mouth appeared. A mouthful of mucus splashed directly onto the face of the guy who had just cut the cave wall. The next moment, the guy screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

At the same time, white smoke began to come out of the face and a disgusting smell was emitted.

Everyone was shocked and turned around to see that the guy's face had been completely corroded. The flesh on his face was gone, revealing his mouth. People could clearly see his tongue and teeth.

Slowly, even the bones began to melt, and everyone screamed in fear.

"what!"

But as soon as this voice came out, there was a sound of breaking air.

call out……

The next moment, the man felt himself flying, and when he reacted, he was pulled down from the shell.

It fell on the monster's esophagus with a "pa" sound, and the man immediately let out a scream. He reached out his hand and saw sticky liquid all over there. Then a piercing pain made him raise his hand.

"help me!"

But just when he said this, he found that his raised hand was corroded bit by bit in the air, and in a moment the hand bones were exposed!
"what……"

But before he could recover from his fright, he heard a whoosh and the sound of breaking air was heard around him again. Then he was directly controlled to the ground by an invisible force, and his whole body began to rot rapidly.

"Granny, save me..."

The man howled in pain, but soon there was no sound. The witch standing in the center of the shell was horrified and shouted, "Be careful, everyone."

Just as someone was shouting, the next moment, suddenly, a whooshing sound was heard in the air.

Soon after, the people on the shell were pulled into the darkness.

call out……

Seeing this, the witch woman immediately yelled, "Be careful..."

But it was too late. The esophagus had already become completely active and began to frantically attack the people around it.

At this time, not only the witch's place, but also other places were attacked by these horrible and unknown things.

All kinds of screams came and went.

Similarly, Chen Jie and his group who were sitting on the shell were not spared. At this moment, there was a whoosh sound, and the thing suddenly rushed over.

Chen Jie felt a sound of breaking air in front of him, and then he drew out the Autumn Cicada Sword he was carrying and swung it with his hand.

With a swish, he chopped off the attacking creature with a knife. When everyone looked, they saw a small octopus-like tentacle with a suction cup on it, and inside the suction cup were sharp little teeth.

It fell to the ground and was still wriggling and curling wildly. It didn't stop until a long time later.

When they saw this thing, everyone looked at each other. Before they could react and say a few more words, bursts of breaking air sounds suddenly rang out in the air again.

Hearing this voice, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Zhao Ya immediately drew out her sword, chopped off a tentacle that was flying towards her, and then shouted, "Nine-four, move to the middle, and the rest of you defend."

Why was Chen Jiusi asked to go to the middle? The reason was very simple, because Chen Jie was holding a torch in his hand.

In this environment, light is very useful. If there is no light, it is impossible to defend against the sudden attack of such things. So in this case, the first thing is to ensure the fire.

Zhao Ya made a decisive decision, and everyone immediately formed a circle.

They began to defend against the flying tentacles. Fortunately, they had many masters, including five at the Baodan realm, who were able to stop the tentacles that were madly trying to pull people down and turn them into fertilizer.

Brush, brush, brush~
Zhao Ya swung the long sword in her hand, and the sky was filled with sword light. Wherever the sword light reached, all the tentacles were cut in two.

Swipe...

The sky was filled with broken tentacles, which fell into the cave walls and were quickly digested, while more tentacles flew over.

At the same time, Ada, A'er, A'san, Yelu, Qimuge, and Old Monster Liu also used their own methods to bombard the air wildly to prevent these tentacles from getting close.

The same thing happened behind him, more and more people died because of these tentacles, and it all stemmed from greed.

Everyone was resisting frantically, and more and more tentacles were chopped off. At this moment, everyone suddenly felt the entire cave wall shaking wildly, and then everyone was horrified to find that the cave wall was actually shrinking and squeezing down.

Seeing this scene, everyone's scalp was numb.

At this time, the cave wall was shrinking more and more, and the space was getting narrower and narrower, as if it was going to squeeze out everyone's living space.

At the same time, the wall of the cave began to become wrinkled, and the sticky liquid was secreted more and more, and it was about to occupy the entire space.

At this time, everyone couldn't even stand up straight, the wall of the cave was pressing down on them.

Everyone was shocked. At this moment, Zhao Ya shouted, "Quick, sit cross-legged and transfer your inner strength to me."

After hearing this, everyone sat down in a circle, with one person supporting another's back. Finally, everyone transferred their internal energy into Chen Jie's body, and Chen Jie clapped his hands on Zhao Ya's shoulders with a snap.

Zhao Ya felt the power transmitted from her body, and then she took out a jade pendant from her nose with both hands. It was a statue of Maitreya Buddha.

At this time, under the infusion of the internal strength of Zhao Ya and others, a golden light was emitted.

Amitabha!
hum!
Suddenly, a huge Buddha appeared. A golden Buddha made of pure energy wrapped the shell.

It directly isolates it from all external damage, as if it had opened an energy shield for the shell.

At this time, everyone looked at the jade pendant held by Zhao Ya in surprise.

Zhao Ya did not explain. This jade pendant was actually a martial arts magic weapon. It had many magical uses when activated by internal force, but it was very rare.

Even though Zhao Ya was a princess, she was not qualified to possess it. However, Zhao Ya had a special identity, so Living Buddha Ba Siba valued her and directly gave her this martial arts weapon that could protect her safety: the Maitreya Buddha statue!

A huge Buddha statue wrapped in shells was flying through the tunnel at a high speed, while behind it was a cry of grief.

But Chen Jie and his companions had no time to care about other people. Under the protection of the Buddha statue, they finally passed through the long tunnel and squeezed out of the tunnel with a "puff".

At this moment, everyone felt suddenly enlightened.

They fell directly from a very narrow place to a very large space.

The space was large and not dark. Even when Chen Jie's torch was extinguished, no one noticed, because inside the cave there was a dense glow of light, as if there were countless fireflies illuminating the place for everyone.

Chen Jie had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that what was glowing was actually the inner wall of the cave inlaid with glowing pearls.

These pearls illuminate the cave brightly. Seeing this scene, everyone can't help but sigh how beautiful this place is. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a masterpiece of nature.

Chen Jie and others fell behind. They were the second group to arrive. The first group was Peng Yingyu, but Master Peng had disappeared at this time.

So they became the first group. At this time, everyone looked at the space in front of them and were surprised by everything in front of them.

Zhao Ya was the first to jump off the clam shell, and the others followed suit. However, Chen Jie did not rush down. Instead, he took a cloth bag, wrapped the tentacles that had fallen on the ground, and put them in his pocket.

Ah San looked over and said, "Chen Jiusi, why are you picking up these disgusting things?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately laughed and said, "Haha, Master Three, these are the tentacles of Water Tai Sui. Take them back and process them. Maybe you can refine Tai Sui Pills."

After hearing this, Asan and the others were stunned, thinking that their brains were still not smart enough. Why didn’t they think of these damn tentacles, and could be made into Tai Sui Dan?
But now they were asked to follow Chen Jie to pick up the pieces, and they felt a little embarrassed. They looked so handsome when they jumped down just now.

After Chen Jie picked up these tentacles, he discovered that the cloth could isolate the corrosiveness of these tentacles.

Chen Jie had just picked up these tentacles when he saw a sudden wailing from the place where they had just been excreted, followed by a puff, and a pile of bloody flesh fell down.

Chen Jie and the others were startled, and then they were surrounded by blood, flesh, and broken limbs.

Batan and others climbed out. It turned out that at the most dangerous moment just now, Batan and others used the subordinates who followed them as human shields and hid themselves under these people's bodies. This is how they managed to escape this disaster. However, those younger brothers died tragically and turned into broken arms and limbs all over the ground!

Seeing this scene, Chen Jie couldn't help but admire how ruthless these people were.

Not only is he cruel to himself, he is even more cruel to his subordinates. He uses people as shields. This cannot be done without a ruthless heart.

As Chen Jie was thinking about it, Zhao Ya also frowned slightly, looking very uncomfortable.

But it didn't matter to Ah Da, Ah Er and Ah San of the Vajra Sect. A few broken limbs were nothing. In the beginning, the three of them were thrown into the prince's army by their master for training, and they had witnessed too many brutal scenes there.

These broken limbs are nothing, they are nothing, just a little bit of wind and frost.

Soon the people who followed behind also came in. They were all covered in blood and looked miserable, but they were all capable, as at least they had managed to reach this stage alive.

Everyone was still in shock at this time, looking around for fear that the tentacles would attack again.

Fortunately, this should be a safe area and there are no terrifying tentacle monsters.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

After calming down and getting over the fear in their hearts and sitting down to rest for a while, everyone saw eight holes appearing in front of them, each with a Bagua character engraved on it.

They are [Xiu Shengshang Du Jingshenkai]

This is the inner Bagua.

Everyone looked at each other, and Zhao Ya asked, "Which door should we go through?"

As they were talking here, they saw Battan and his men entering Jingmen first.

The rest of the people also went their separate ways. The witch went through the Gate of Life, and Yu Meizi from the Zoroastrianism went through the Gate of Rest.

Zhong Liang from Hongjianmen and Ding Ying from Chunxiang Pavilion looked at each other and decided to go through one door. The tentacles just now really scared them. It would be safer for the two of them, who were both in the Baodan realm, to walk together.

So the two of them chose to open one of the eight doors.

At this time, if Chen Jie and his group did not want to follow the same path as them and engage in internal competition, they had to.

Choose one from the four gates: Shang, Du, Si and Jing. These four gates are not good hexagrams in terms of hexagrams, and they are mostly evil and murderous.

Looking at the four doors in front of them, Chen Jie and the others fell into deep thought, wondering which door to choose.

After thinking for a long time, they first ruled out the Death Gate. After all, anyone with a brain knows that among all the doors, the Death Gate is the most dangerous.

Then there are only three options left.

Finally, everyone thought about it and chose Du Men.

What is the meaning of "Du"? It actually means rejection, which also means hiding, blocking and blocking.

Compared with the others, it doesn't seem that dangerous.

Thinking of this, a few people came to the cave entrance, and then saw a stone tablet standing at the entrance, on which was written:

[The Immortal Palace in the water is for those who have it. The eight gates are wide open to welcome distinguished guests from all directions. On the road of life and death, wealth and honor are sought in danger. Don't blame fate for life and death! ]

Looking at the stone tablet in front of them, everyone fell silent.

At this time, Old Monster Liu came close to Chen Jie and whispered, "Jiu Si, what does it mean?"

Chen Jie said: "Anyone who trespasses will be killed!"

After hearing this, Old Monster Liu said, "Yes, what a mess, isn't that what you want to say?"

Ah San also said: "Stop talking nonsense. Since you dare to come here, you must be willing to put your life at risk. You wouldn't want to scare all the brothers away by erecting a monument, right? Hahaha..."

When everyone heard Ah San's laughter, their eyes froze slightly.

It is true that after coming this far, who can return empty-handed? It is unreasonable. It all depends on your own luck.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ya said, "Light the torch and go into the cave."

Everyone lit the torches and went straight into the cave.

Everyone held torches very carefully, with Ada and Asan in the front, Aer and Yelu in the rear, and in the middle were Zhao Ya and Chen Jiusi and their group.

So the crowd walked forward in the passage. At the beginning, the passage was very narrow, but as they walked, the front suddenly became open.

At this time, everyone raised their torches high, which immediately illuminated the entire cave. In this cave, everyone saw many stone statues standing here, and these stone statues looked very strange.

It has a human body, but its head is set in a clam shell, and its eyes stick out of the shell like two snail tentacles, except that there are no eyeballs.

Holding a sword in his hand, he stood there, motionless, like a Terracotta Warrior.

When Chen Jie saw these images, he even remembered the monsters in Journey to the West that he had watched in TV dramas before, and they looked like this.

These river clam monster soldiers just stood there. Chen Jie and others counted them and found that there were more than a hundred of them densely packed together.

And in front of these demon soldiers, there was a young general standing on a high platform.

The general had a handsome appearance, was wearing armor, holding a sword, and looking forward, as if he was reviewing his army.

When everyone came here, they were slightly shocked by the scene before them. They didn't know who did these things here. Zhao Ya looked around at this time and saw A Da and A Er following behind the princess.

Chen Jie and Old Monster Liu were both observing the surroundings.

Only Ah San was really brave. He reached out and knocked on the head of each soldier, as if to confirm whether it was made of clay or stone.

Seeing his action, everyone was shocked, and Ah Da said angrily: "Ah San."

Ah San was startled and immediately retracted his hand and said, "Ah, what are you doing? You scared me."

"You gave me a fright."

Ah Da roared, "Don't move, be careful of traps."

Ah San said, “I understand.”

After saying that, I stopped tinkering with it.

Zhao Ya was walking under the reviewing stand at this time, staring at the young general in front of her, her eyes moving over his body.

The young general still maintained his posture, looking forward.

Zhao Ya stopped.

Seeing this, Chen Jie stepped forward and asked, "Princess, what are you looking at?"

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "Look at his eyes."

Chen Jie looked over and saw that the young general's eyes were blood red. Chen Jie narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Ruby?"

However, Chen Jie soon discovered something was wrong, because no matter from which angle Chen Jie looked, he found that the stone general's eyes were staring at him.

In an instant, Chen Jie felt like a thorn in his back.

He reached out and pressed the handle of the Qiuchan Knife on his waist, squinting his eyes and said, "Princess, you also found out?"

Zhao Ya said: "It seems that you have felt it too, that's right."

"It seems like his eyes are always on us."

Chen Jie squinted his eyes and said, "Yes, it's so weird, the princess should be careful."

The two looked at each other and both felt that this place was full of evil. Just as they were looking at the stone general in front of them in confusion, suddenly Old Monster Liu walked up and paid homage to the stone statue.

Chen Jie and Zhao Ya were stunned, and looked at Old Monster Liu and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you possessed?"

At this time, Old Monster Liu said: "No, this, this is General Bang, the god of us Tanka people!"

After hearing this, the two were stunned and squinted their eyes: "General Bang?"

Ah Da and Ah Er also came over and looked at Old Monster Liu and asked, "What is a clam general?"

After hearing this, Old Monster Liu thought for a moment and said, "Do you know Mazu?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya and Chen Jie both nodded. Everyone knows Mazu. She is the deity of the southern seas, who is specifically here to protect the southern coastal residents. Fujianese, in particular, believe in Mazu the most.

But is this General Bang related to Mazu?
Old Monster Liu said: "The status of this clam general in the hearts of us Tanka people is the same as the status of Mazu in the hearts of Fujian people, and there is a story behind it."

Chen Jie heard this and asked, "What story?"

Zhao Ya also said: "Tell me, maybe it can help us?"

"Well, this story is called "The Pearl Diver and the Clam General"

Old Monster Liu said, "This is a very old story, which is only passed down orally among us Tanka people. It says that a long time ago, we Tanka people had a daughter who was very beautiful. Because she was good at picking pearls, everyone called her the Pearl Diving Girl."

"Once she went down to the river to collect pearls and was bitten by a fish monster in the river. In pain, she swam away and accidentally entered a place full of giant clams. This place was full of giant river clams. For the pearl diver, this place was like a fairyland."

"When the fish monster arrived here, it didn't dare to move forward and turned around and ran away. The pearl diver was rescued and was looking for a way out in this magical place. Then she met a handsome general in armor."

"The pearl-diving girl was very nervous, but General Clam had no ill will towards humans, and he told her that he was the river god of this river, with 3,000 clam soldiers under his command, who were in charge of suppressing this river basin."

"The pearl-diving girl hurried to pay homage. When General Bang saw that she was injured, he sent her to the Water Palace to recuperate. Then, just like in all mythological stories, over time, the two fell in love."

"The love-loving General Clam wanted to share his best with the pearl diver, so he took out the inner chamber that he had cultivated for thousands of years, a golden pearl, and showed it to the pearl diver."

"This golden pearl is the product of General Bang's thousand years of cultivation. It is of great help to mortals. It can be said that as long as you wear it often, you can prolong your life. Even if you are seriously ill, wearing this pearl will cure you in two or three days."

"The pearl diver's foot injury was healed by the power of this golden pearl."

"The pearl diver lived in this river for a while and told General Clam that she wanted to go home because her parents were waiting for her."

"Although General Bang was reluctant to let her go, he still sent her home. After she got home, she told her father about her adventure and begged him to help her and General Bang get married."

"When father heard that General Bang had a golden pearl, he remembered that the current emperor had issued a treasure order, saying that anyone with a treasure could present it to His Majesty in exchange for a high position and generous salary, and thus soar to the sky. Father immediately set his sights on General Bang's golden pearl."

"So, my father and mother acted out a play together, saying that my mother was terminally ill and incurable, and the only thing that could save her now was probably General Bang's golden pearl."

"So I hope the pearl-diving girl will go to General Bang to borrow the golden pearl, and promise her daughter that it will be three days, just three days. Just borrow the golden pearl for three days, and once your mother's illness is cured, you will immediately return the golden pearl to General Bang. My daughter, do you want to watch your mother die of illness?"

"After hearing this, the pearl-diving girl looked at her terminally ill mother and had no choice but to come to the Mian River, find General Bang, and beg him to borrow the golden pearl."

"General Bang didn't want to lend it at first. This golden pearl is not only his inner treasure, but also the river-guarding pearl of the Mian River. It cannot be easily taken out of the Mian River, let alone taken to the river bank."

"Otherwise it would be a violation of Heaven's Law, and the matter would be serious."

"But love always makes people confused. Seeing the pearl-diving girl crying for her mother, General Bang couldn't persuade her and finally agreed to lend her the pearl. However, she had to return it within three days. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Court found out, he would be finished."

"The pearl-digger promises that she will return the pearl in three days."

"After the pearl was taken back, the greedy father was overjoyed. He took the golden pearl and, despite the pearl-digger's objection, he moved overnight and headed directly to the capital to present the treasure. From then on, he lived a life of wealth and prosperity, with no worries about food and clothing."

"It was then that the pearl-diving girl realized her father's true thoughts. She was very anxious because she knew that if she didn't return the golden pearl in three days, General Bang would be punished by the heavenly law. At that time, the kind-hearted General Bang would suffer a very terrible punishment from heaven!"

"She begged her father, but he was so greedy that he wouldn't listen to her. He even locked her up."

"Just like that, three days passed in a flash. General Bang waited in the water for the pearl diver to return the golden pearl, but she did not come as promised in three days."

"This immediately made General Bang panic. On the fourth day, the pearl-diving girl still hadn't come. On the fifth day, the sixth day, the seventh day... she still hadn't come. She never came. The pearl-diving girl never came."

"This immediately angered General Bang. He brought the giant wolf to Mianshui City and threatened to flood Mianshui City and bury the people there."

"This immediately alarmed the Mianshui County Magistrate, who was terrified when he heard the news and quickly reported it to the court."

"At this time, General Bang's actions had already been known to the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court sent Lord Dragon to hold him accountable. After learning about this, he directly put pressure on the court at the time."

"When the imperial court saw that the heavenly court was so angry, they decided not to keep the golden pearls. So the emperor ordered the pearl-diving girl and her family to be kidnapped and sent back to the Mian River to die in apology."

"That day, the water level of the Mian River rose to 99 feet, directly surrounding the Mian River County. On the city wall, the pearl divers and their family were tied up."

"Lord Dragon is hiding outside the Nine Heavens. Give General Bang one stick of incense to resolve the matter."

"General Bang, with infinite rage, stepped on the crest of the wave, looked at the pearl divers far above the city gate and said: "Why did you lie to me?""

"The pearl diver was so ashamed that she didn't know what to say. She just said to General Bang: I am sorry for you."

"Then he drew his sword and stabbed himself."

"General Bang was dumbfounded. Although he was filled with rage, he never intended to kill the pearl diver. But the pearl diver died because of him."

"General Bang held the body of the pearl diver and cried loudly: You can't die! Then he used his divine power to maintain the pearl diver's life."

"The pearl-diving girl said in a weak voice: I am sorry for you. Please stop the flood. The people are innocent. This is all my fault. I caused you to lose the pearl. I will be punished by the heaven."

"General Bang cried and said: It's okay, I'm not afraid, but you can't die, you can't die, I like you..."

"The pearl-diving girl said with her last breath: I have failed you. I hope that after my death I can turn into pearls and stay with you forever..."

"The pearl divers finally turned into two pearls and sank into the Mian River. That's how our Mian River pearls got their round color and special value."

Old Monster Liu said that the pearls from the Mian River were also very small in the past, but ever since the pearl-diving girl turned into a pearl, the pearls from the Mian River have become treasures, sought after by dignitaries of all dynasties.

"What about General Bang?"

Zhao Ya asked General Bang.

Old Monster Liu said, "General Bang lost the golden pearl, which is a great sin. However, considering that General Bang was deceived by others, the Dragon King reported the incident to the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court was furious, so it sent down a thunderstorm."

"Under the six thunder tribulations, General Bang lost all his cultivation and fell from the divine status. He has been missing ever since. However, among us Tanka people, there is a saying that we Tanka people will always owe General Bang. If we want to live in peace, we must offer sacrifices to General Bang to atone our sins."

"And General Bang will also bless the Tanka people to have a good harvest."

As Old Monster Liu told the story he knew, everyone looked up curiously at the young general in front of them.

"Is this General Clam? Then these are his three thousand clam soldiers!"

Ah Da spoke.

Chen Jie did not express much opinion, because although this kind of story is bizarre, it is not uncommon. For example, the Conch Girl, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, etc. Aren’t these just folk stories made up by ordinary people when they have nothing to do?
However, there is such a large-scale group of statues here, which feels a bit strange.

Chen Jie was thinking, but his eyes were looking around. As he was looking, he suddenly saw a strange scene. It seemed that there was a wooden box under General Beng's feet.

The angle of the wooden box was very tricky. He could see it from this angle, but from other angles, it would be difficult to see it.

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and wondered, what's in this box?

Chen Jie thought about it but remained calm.

At this time, Zhao Ya said, "Everyone, split up and look around to see if you can find a hole or a mechanism to get out. This shouldn't be a dead end."

After hearing this, a group of people immediately dispersed and searched.

Zhao Ya also went to look for it alone. Seeing this, Chen Jie pretended to go forward to look for it. He jumped onto the high platform and came to the feet of General Bang. He reached out and took out the box. He looked around and no one noticed him.

When Chen Jie opened the box, he immediately smelled a medicinal smell.

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes. There was such a strong smell of medicinal medicine. What was this?

Chen Jie was thinking about it, and then he saw a pill and a note in the box.

Chen Jie put the pill in his hand and opened the note, which read:

[It's miserable, miserable, miserable, a dignified general guarding the water palace fell in love with a boatman pearl-diving girl, and his golden elixir was stolen and banished to the mortal world. It makes me cry. - I will give you a wonderful elixir, and I will use this mortal elixir to replace the golden elixir.]

Ok?
When Chen Jie saw this, his face was full of surprise. Where did this naughty ghost come from to leave such a note? However, judging from the appearance of the note, it should be old.

But what kind of elixir is this? It still smells fragrant after so many years. More importantly, when I smell it, I actually feel that my realm is subtly improving.

Could this be the Mirror-Breaking Pill?

Breaking realm pill is a general concept, referring to pills that can help warriors break through the realm. For example, Shujin Pills, Zhuanggu Pills, and Hualing Pills are all part of the Breaking Realm Pill series.

Of course, this also includes the Qi and Blood Pills that Chen Jie urgently needs.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie continued to look at the pill in the box. He reached out to take the pill down, and then he found that there was an even smaller piece of paper underneath the pill.

When I opened it, I saw a note that said: [Shh, keep your voice down. You found this pill, which means you have a connection with it. But don't let General Bang see you when you take it, he's a petty person.]

"Ok?"

Chen Jie looked at the words on the note and couldn't help laughing out loud. Who is this troublemaker?
But what kind of elixir is this?

Chen Jie thought about it and decided to identify it. After thinking about it, Chen Jie directly called his intelligence system.

[Intelligence system has been updated (level 3)]

Soon the system was called out by Chen Jie, and Chen Jie thought about it.

Start developing intelligence.

[1. You specified the information to identify the pill in front of you, and the information you received was: This is a Ningdan Pill, which was the strongest pill in Yaowang Valley a hundred years ago. It has a wonderful effect and its medicinal power is more than twice that of ordinary Qi and Blood Pills. It is very precious and no one knows how to refine it now.]

Ningdan Pill. Chen Jie looked at the pill in his hand and his eyes lit up. The efficacy was twice that of Qi and Blood Pill. Isn't this the pill he needed most?

With him, I will be able to break through the Baodan realm. These days, I have been suppressed by these big guys in the Baodan realm. This time, it is finally my turn, Chen Jiusi, to take off for a while.

It is indeed a place of treasures. I didn’t expect to have such an unexpected gain as soon as I came in.

Chen Jie was very happy, and immediately began to specify the second and third pieces of information.

Chen Jie was thinking, with these two pieces of information, he decided to investigate General Bang.

After all, being trapped here all the time is not a solution, thought Chen Jie as he looked at the information.

[2. The information you specified is General Bang, and the information you received is: Although the legend about General Bang is fictitious, the person who set up the mechanism here obviously referred to this legend, so the solution to the problem is also in this story.]

How to solve the problem? What problem to solve? Chen Jie was full of questions, but at this time the third piece of information had been refreshed.

[3. The intelligence you specified is General Bang. I got the information that there is a mechanism in this cave. Don't touch it, otherwise it will activate General Bang. When General Bang wakes up, he will bring his soldiers to destroy all living things in front of him! ]

Ah!
Chen Jie’s eyes suddenly widened. There is a trap!
While I was thinking about this, I heard Ah San say not far away: "Hey, look, there is a candlestick here."

"Hey, it can still turn~"

"Hey, don't move!"

After hearing what Asan said, Chen Jie screamed, but it was too late. It seemed that all the mechanisms in the entire cave were activated.

Kaka...

Hearing the noise, Chen Jie felt something was cracking. He turned back with difficulty and saw that the stone sculpture of the clam general was cracking, revealing fish-scale-like scales inside.

Then it slowly turned its head, click, click, click...

The scarlet eyes looked at Chen Jie!
