Chapter 14 Taoism
A fiery breath came to his face, burning Jiang Chen's throat dry. The whole canyon burst out of flames. The rocks at the mouth of the gorge were completely cracked, and swaying fire tongues spewed out from the cracks.
With Xiyang's protection, Jiang Chen carefully avoided the flames and followed Wang Shu into the Flame Gorge. The surrounding mountains and rocks are red and buzzing. In the depths of the canyon, there are six huge stone statues, which are red and dark, with a wisp of golden luster.
The stone statue is carved into the shape of a bird, with a head like a human, drooping, eyes closed, narrow wings wrapped around the body, and feathers like arrows. There are thick three feet under the abdomen, and the claws are like hooks, deeply embedded in the ground.
"Is this the three-legged black essence? Or a stone?" Jiang Chen approached the stone statue, and the blade-like heat forced him back. The air near them is much hotter, like a mass of invisible flowing magma.
"They just fell asleep. As soon as the sheep's horn iron yin snake appears, the three-legged black essence will wake up immediately. Let's hide quickly. After hiding in the mountain rock, Wang Shu took out the copper pipe, pulled out the plug, and threw it at the three-legged black stone statue from afar.
At the mouth of the copper pipe, the cold black air spewed out, and the surroundings were a little cooler. Then, a curved horn slowly arched out of the copper pipe, which was more than ten feet long and densely covered with black and white spiral lines. Then, another horn slowly poked out with the triangular head.
Wang Shu said: "The body of the sheep-horned iron snake can be arbitrarily contracted and bent, including horns, which can be folded as thin as paper. It and the three-legged black essence are natural enemies, and we have a good time to watch.
The sheep-horned iron snake completely drilled out of the copper pipe, which is as thick as a bucket, hundreds of feet long, and the eyes are as big as lanterns. A kind of sarcoma rises in the corner and slowly squirms. When it appeared, it cried fiercely, and its blood basin swallowed clouds and fog. The cold black gas turned into a series of drops of water in the air.
The stone statue of the three-legged black essence suddenly opened its eyes. "Rumble", the stone statue shook and burst into light. With a few sounds, the stone statue shook the bright feather wings, turned into a living three-legged black essence, and rushed to the sheep's horn iron snake.
The two sides were like great enemies of life and death, fighting fiercely, and the surroundings became cold and hot. The sheep-horned iron yin snake coiled into a ball, spewing out bursts of black gas, one against six. It is obviously at a disadvantage. The three-legged black feathers set off a golden flame and rushed from all sides to the sheep's horned iron snake, cooperating very tacitly.
In the fierce battle, a three-legged black claw hit the seven inches of the horned iron yin snake and tore off a bloody piece of flesh. The pain made the horned iron yin snake's whole body jump wildly, and the snake's tail suddenly popped up. Entangled the three-legged black essence, the horns threwung the three-legged black essence's stomach, and the red intestines flowed out along the horns. The rest of the three-legged black spirits screamed angrily and counterattacked crazily. The sheep-horned iron snake is no longer clustered and attacked fiercely. The body suddenly flat and round, and the sarcoma on the head shot out a trace of gray-white cold light. They hit the three-legged black essence one after another.
The two sides fought darkly and became more and more fiercely, and soon they were all covered with bruises. After a three-legged black spirit was entangled in the snake, he not only did not struggle, but patted the snake's head with sharp claws and dug out the other party's two eyes alive. The sheep-horned iron snake screamed and suddenly picked up half a foot high. Five three-legged black claws poked out at the same time and twisted the snake's head off.
Three-legged black spirits look up to the sky and shout. The body trembled, and the whole layer of feathers fell off, revealing the bloody ** body inside, and the part of the wings suddenly turned into two arms. The whole layer of feathers turned into bright and shining, and the glowing feathers fell softly on the ground.
Then, the three-legged black spirits lay down around the snake corpses, grabbing the hot rock, wiping their wounds, and swallowing the snake corpses.
"Why did the sheep-horned iron snake come here?" A three-legged black essence suddenly opened his mouth. Outspokes.
Another three-legged Wujing said, "It's very strange." Look around and look around.
Wang Shu pointed to the feather coat. Jiang Chen nodded, and the two rushed out at the same time. Before the three-legged black spirits reacted, Jiang Chen had grabbed the two feather coats on the ground and rushed to the mouth of the gorge. Several spider silks popped out of Wang Shu's sleeves, stuck to the other three feather coats, jumped up deftly, and fled out with a somersault like a wheel in the air.
"They are playing tricks!" The three-legged black spirits shouted angrily, and the three-legged meteor chased Jiang Chen and the two. When they chased to the mouth of the gorge, their bodies slowly petrified, their eyes stared, and remained motionless in a stiff running posture.
"Haha!" Wang Shu turned his head, raised his feather coat, and shook his head: "Without the Xiaguang feather coat, the three-legged black essence will turn into a stone statue again as soon as it comes out of the flame gorge."
When will you go to Asura Island? I only have a few days left." Jiang Chen stroked the Xiaguang feather coat, and the feathers glittered with red, pink, orange and purple luster, as soft as clouds, as smooth as satin, and emitting hot air.
"Wait until the night comes, so that you won't be appeared by the goddess." Wang Shu looked solemn, "We only have a fragrant time to enter the seam of the divine realm. When we arrived at Asura Island, we had no choice but to try our luck. Have you figured it out? If I encounter danger, I can become Wang Shujian, and you can't."
Jiang Chen said, "When I entered the ruins, I had no choice."
Wang Shu laughed and said, "Don't show such a sad, indignant and generous expression. Maybe we can come back with a full load and make a lot of money.
"Baby is second." Jiang Chen shook his head. Jiang Chen's treasure hunt was full of leaks and faded a lot. No matter how many treasures there are, they are just tools to use. Another reason why Jiang Chen went to Asura Island is to see the wonderful power of the creatures here, so that he can get some enlightenment from the eight elephants of his earth, so as to make another breakthrough.
Wang Shu smiled and said, "You finally understand that the purpose of coming here is not to hunt for treasure, but to practice. The experience of birth and death is the most precious asset.
Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Why can't humans and monsters use spells anymore after coming here?" If he can use the eight elephants, even if he meets any powerful creature here, he has the ability to fight.
"This may be a balance between heaven and earth." Wang Shu thought about it. Jiang Chen, let me ask you again, are you really going to take an adventure on Asura Island?
"It's not just an adventure." Jiang Chen said slowly. It was not until now that he understood the real reason why Yuntian left the war and went deep into the Mongolian world - this is the exploration of unknown heaven and earth and the pursuit of ethereal mystery.
With a long sigh. Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Yuntian's Taoism is indeed amazing, but it's a pity."
Wang Shuqi said, "What's a pity?"
"Unfortunately, he is not a competent master." Jiang Chen said coldly, "If it were me, it would never be possible to leave the urgent war and pursue the inner way. A person who is passionate about Taoism can't become a real king.
Wang Shu smiled slightly, took out a purple gold medicine bottle, poured out the slightly fishy herbal juice, wiped it all over his body, and then applied the herbal juice to Jiang Chen.
"The creatures here are called 'tianjing'. Tianjing has a strong body odor, and this herb juice is applied to the body. It can emit the same smell as Tianjing. Wang Shu looked at the sky impatiently, handed a Xiaguang feather coat to Jiang Chen, and repeatedly told him, "You just follow me. In case of being seen, run away quickly. Asura Island is divided into 19 floors, each of which is as vast as the sea. It's not difficult to find a place to hide.
Jiang Chen took over the Xiaguang feather coat. As soon as he put it on, the heat rushed to the inside. His whole body was hot and the feather coat wrapped around him from head to toe. His body suddenly became light and turned into a gorgeous cloud. Slightly pat your arms. Just rise slowly.
Wang Shu leaned close to him and put on a glow feather coat. Jiang Chen suddenly realized: "What we look like now. It's exactly the same as the clouds on which the heavenly women stand!"
A proud laugh came from the changing Yunxia: "Get ready, it's going to get dark soon." He grabbed Jiang Chen with his arm.
The sky suddenly darkened, surrounded by ink. In an moment, Jiang Chen and Wang Shu stretched their arms like birds, rose lightly and flew to the sky.
In the field of vision, it is dark. Jiang Chen seemed to encounter something soft and bulging, and then came the woman's scolding.
It turned out that it hit the heavenly girl. Jiang Chen secretly shouted bad luck and quickly bypassed it without saying a word. Wang Shu dragged him. Keep soaring up. Above the head, sometimes rolling through a rapid hurricane, the momentum is like thunder, which makes people breathless.
The sky suddenly lit up and the sky turned bright. Looking at it, the heavenly women fell under their feet, and the magnificent sea was undulating, covering the earth. The surrounding area is vast and um vast, clear soup. Far away, the sky extends into a long black line. Keep twisting.
"That black thread is the seam!" Hope Shudao.
Suddenly, the wind and thunder shook them, and a huge shadow suddenly covered dozens of miles.
In the deep fog, an island in the heart of the river is looming.
"Asura Island!" Without looking at Shu's prompt, Jiang Chen has blurted out. Asura Island is more like a ferocious prison floating in the Tianhe River. The whole body is black, wrapped in bright blue electric light, like twists and turns of poisonous snakes spraying poisonous flames. The whole island is stacked, extremely high and dangerous, and the top can't be seen. There are countless evil peaks and cliffs out of thin air, like thousands of ghosts attacking. Open your teeth and claws.
