Westward Journey into Dragon

Chapter 267 Crypt Treasure Hunting
It's early summer, and the obscenity has begun to flood. The weather in Yong'an City has not been very good in the past few days.

Chen Xian was sitting in a pavilion in the imperial garden, listening to the rhyme and playing the piano, playing chess, watching the fragrance of books, reading books, and painting, when a heavenly soldier guarding the gate of the garden suddenly walked in wet, knelt on one knee outside the pavilion and said: "Emperor, the chief of internal affairs asks to see you."

The Jade Emperor sent ten immortal officials to help him deal with sundries. Based on the principle of not needing nothing for nothing, Chen Xian assigned tasks to these ten people one by one after some days of investigation.He promoted two of them who were clever and knowledgeable about current affairs to be the chiefs of internal and external affairs. The chief of internal affairs is responsible for managing internal affairs, such as the security, hygiene, food, distribution of guards, monthly salary of palace ladies, etc. in Sanssouci Palace, and the chief of external affairs is responsible for purchasing everything in the palace needed.As for three of them who are very ignorant of current affairs, Chen Xian also arranged good positions for them: Bi Mawen, the chief of the imperial horse department with only six heavenly horses, the chief of the sewer cleaning department, and the chief of the public toilet department were assigned to them. , and warned them that these places are very important and must be kept clean, and they are required to come to the scene to guide the work every day.

Chen Xian thought that the head of internal affairs would not bother him if he had nothing to do, since he asked to see him, he must have something to do, so he said, "Let him in!"

"No!" Tianbing stood up, bowed and exited the imperial garden.

"See the Emperor!" A moment after Tianbing left, a middle-aged man in a civil official's robe entered the garden and saluted Chen Xian. He was the chief housekeeper appointed by Chen Xian.

"Free!" Chen Xian said.

"Thank you, Emperor!" The head of internal affairs got up as he said.

"I don't know why Aiqing asked to see the widow?" Chen Xian straightened his body and asked with imperial majesty.

"The guards of the palace gate just came to report, and the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain and Water Curtain Cave sent someone to send an invitation." The head of internal affairs bowed, took out a gold-plated invitation from his sleeve, and raised his hands above his head and said.

"Scholarly, present the invitation!" Chen Xian said.

Shuxiang put down the book in her hand, walked out of the gazebo gracefully, took the invitation card from the chief housekeeper, and handed it to Chen Xian with a bow.

"Seventh Brother's [-]st birthday, this time flies so fast." After looking at the invitation, Chen Xian sighed for a while. He only felt that the last time he celebrated the monkey's [-]th birthday happened yesterday. It's been a year.

"You step back!" After sighing for a while, Chen Xian put away the invitation and told the internal affairs chief.

"Resignation!" The head of internal affairs bowed and saluted, and after taking three steps back, he turned and left.

Sun Wukong's [-]st birthday is the day after tomorrow. Chen Xian has plenty of time to prepare. He temporarily put aside this matter and continued to play chess with the four girls. Angry, cranky."

"Om..."

Qin Yun pressed down with ten fingers, pressed down the strings, stopped the sound of the piano when she was holding the hairpin, stood up with the other three women and said thanks: "Thank you for your teaching!"

"Let's replay the game!" After admonishing the four girls, Chen Xian pushed the chessboard and said to the chess language, but he was about to lose, so he decided to play tricks, but he used the four people's temperament as an excuse, which is shameless enough.

"Qin Yun, the ambergris has been burned out, get another one!" Chen Xian ordered again.

"Yes!" Qin Yun replied, and lit another ambergris.

"The golden pill of ten tree spirits has been consolidated, so there is no need to take care of it every day. In the days to come, we can be licentious again." Before playing chess again, Chen Xian thought to himself.

"Report! Dijun, there are two banshees outside the palace gate asking to see you!" Today is destined to be a day that will not be peaceful, Chen Xian and Qiyu reopened the game, and before twenty moves have been taken, the heavenly soldiers guarding the gate of the garden came to report again.

"Two banshees?" Chen Xian asked curiously, "What are their names?"

"The two women claim to be Madam Diyong and Madam Baigu." Tian Bing said.

"Please!" Chen Xian said.

"No!" The heavenly soldier took the order and left.

"These two banshees came together. Could it be that the best friend in the bone spirit's mouth is the white mouse spirit?" After Tianbing left, Chen Xian stroked his chin and began to think.

"Chess language, prepare tea!" Chen Xian said.

"Yes!" Qiyu put the pieces in his hand back into the chess box, got up and went to make tea.

"The emperor is really leisurely and elegant, which makes my family envious!" Under the leadership of the maid, Mrs. Diyong and Mrs. Bone Bone went straight into the imperial garden. As soon as they entered, Bone Bone Demon stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Two ladies, please have some tea!" Chen Xian smiled and led the two witches to sit down, pointing to the two cups of tea filled by Qiyu.

"Let me introduce you to Dijun. This is Diyong, my best friend. This time she will go to the East China Sea with us." After sitting down, Bone Demon immediately introduced to Chen Xian.

"Emperor, it's been a long time no see, your demeanor is even better than before, what a joy!" White Mouse Jing stared at Chen Xian with a faint light in his eyes.

"At first, I was looking forward to the treasure hunt trip to the East China Sea. Now that there are two witches with ulterior motives, such as the White Mouse Demon and the White Bone Demon, I have no passion at all. Just guarding against them will consume all my energy!" , Chen Xian sighed in his heart.

"If the emperor is fine, let's go now!" After drinking tea and saying a few homely words, Mrs. Bone spoke.

Chen Xian thought that Brother Seven's birthday would be the day after tomorrow. It would take one day to travel to the depths of the East China Sea, half a day to get the treasure, and half a day to go to Huaguo Mountain, just in time for Seventh Brother's birthday banquet, and it happened to be able to use Wanzai ground milk as a gift, which was better than before. The flat peaches that are going to be given away are good. After all, the flat peaches are too eye-catching, so it's good to use other things instead.Thinking of this, he said blankly: "I'm fine when I come in, I can leave at any time!"

"The servants and land rushed out of the city to wait, the emperor will explain the funeral!" Mrs. Bone said.

Explaining the funeral, why do these words sound so harsh?Hearing what the bone spirit said, Chen Xian murmured in his heart.

"The two ladies sit down, and there is nothing to say about the funeral, just say a word and you can leave." Chen Xian waved his hand, signaling the two demon girls to sit down.

"If any guests come to visit, tell me that I traveled to the East China Sea with fellow Taoists, and I will return in a few days." After Chen Xian said something to the four daughters of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he turned his head and said to Mrs. Baigu and Mrs. Diyong: "Two ladies, let's go!"

............................................................

After a one-day flight, Chen Xian, the white bone spirit and the white mouse spirit flew over Xiniu Hezhou, crossed the West Sea, Nanbubuzhou, East China Sea, Dongsheng Shenzhou, and arrived at the depths of the East China Sea. The beast was hard to find, and the clouds stopped over the deserted island with a radius of about a hundred miles.

"We're here, let's go down!" Mrs. Bone said.

"Such a desolate island, are you sure you didn't lead the wrong way?" Looking at the deserted island under his feet, Chen Xian asked uncertainly.

"Don't worry, my family won't make such a low-level mistake!" Mrs. Bone said with a sweet smile.

"Then let's go down!" Mrs. Diyong eagerly said.

"Go!" Madam Bone greeted, and flew towards the middle of the cave on a cloud.

Following behind the Bone Demon, Chen Xian landed on a huge oval boulder in the middle of the island.

"That's the cave where I found the Wanzai Earth Milk." Bone Essence pointed to a dark cave covered by radishes.

very common!This was Chen Xian's first image of that cave, but he didn't mind that the treasures were hidden and the spirits were hidden.

He released his spiritual sense to investigate, and found that the cave was zigzag, slanted downward, and there were many side roads. After turning around a few times with his spiritual sense, but found nothing, Chen Xian had to withdraw his spiritual sense, and stopped doing useless work.

"Damn, there are so many forks in the road, I really don't know how the Bone Demon discovered the Wanzai Earth Milk, could he be fooled?" Chen Xian muttered.

"Let's go!" The bone spirit leaped down, split open the stalk, and went straight into the cave.

"Dijun, this cave is so dark, I'm so scared!" After walking in the cave for a while, Mrs. Diyong rushed up suddenly, holding Chen Xian's hand tightly.

"Is there any mistake, rats are still afraid of the dark? And the immortal can see the night as the day, not to mention the dignified golden fairy, this white mouse spirit has bad intentions for himself!" Chen Xian complained in his heart, pulled out his hand forcefully, and took out a pill Ye Mingzhu illuminated the front and back for several feet and said: "It's not dark anymore!"

"I don't understand the style!" The white mouse cursed secretly in his heart, rushed forward again, hugged Chen Xian's arm, and said coquettishly: "This cave is gloomy, my family is afraid!"

Chen Xian's body trembled, and his heart came again, and this time he used the appearance of a celestial girl, it was really terrible!
"We are here to hunt for treasures. I heard from Mrs. Bones that the earthworms guarding the treasures are not ordinary. Madam, it is better to be serious." Having been baptized once by the appearance of a celestial woman, her cultivation is one step closer. The influence, said very indifferently.

Without waiting for Madam to speak, he continued: "Besides, this place is dark and gloomy. It's not a place to talk about love. If Madam has the heart, it's better to choose a good place another day. Let's spend the time before and after the month to express our feelings, wouldn't it be Better?"

After Chen Xian finished speaking, Mrs. Chong spoke again without waiting, touched his thigh, and took advantage of his stiff body to get away.

"This Mrs. Diyong is still a place!" After touching Mrs. Diyong's thigh and finding that she reacted strongly, Chen Xian couldn't help but secretly said in his heart.

Following Mrs. Bone through the tortuous passages, taking many side roads, Chen Xian felt that there should be a hundred miles away from the ground, and he had already gone deep into the ground.The surrounding temperature is also getting higher and higher, and the water flowing out of the stone wall is steaming hot.

"I really don't know how Mrs. Diyong found the milk of ten thousand years in such an intricate cave. Could it be that the dead spirits have a special reaction to objects with strong vitality?" Chen Xian became more and more surprised as he walked, because it was so deep Hundreds of miles underground, even his Golden Immortal's spiritual sense couldn't find it here. He really couldn't figure it out, it was the bone spirit in the real fairyland who discovered the earth milk below for thousands of years in the future.

After walking seventy or eighty miles in the tortuous cave with the Bone Demon, and about forty miles deeper into the ground, the hard stone walls showed signs of melting.

"It's close to the magma layer!" Smelling the strong sulfur smell in the air and feeling the temperature that can quickly turn a person into a mummified body, Chen Xian knew that the three of him were close to the underground magma.

As Chen Xian expected, he followed the Bone Demon to turn left once and turn right twice in the cave. After walking a hundred steps forward at a three-way intersection, his eyes were full of dark red light.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Chen Xian looked down at the boiling magma hundreds of feet below, and found that the area of ​​exposed magma here was about ten miles, barely considered a lake.

Bone Essence stood at the entrance of the cave, pointing his Qianqian jade hand to a long and narrow stone in the direction of the basalt, with an area of ​​no more than [-] square meters. In the stone trough in the middle of that rock!"

There is no need for Mrs. Bone to remind, just as Chen Xian came here, he sensed the strong anger coming from the rock, and his eyes had already turned to the center of the island, the pool of golden liquid.

Ground milk under a hundred years old is clear in color, and gradually becomes whiter and thicker as the age increases. At a hundred years, it is like rice milk, and at a thousand years, it is as heavy as stone pulp, and then turns yellow. After ten thousand years, it is golden like dragon's blood and as heavy as lead and mercury.

The color of the loess soil itself is yellow, and the ground milk condensed by the essence of the earth is naturally golden in color to the extreme.

"I don't know how many years it will take for the earth to produce so many essences? The vitality contained in each drop of ground milk is richer than my blood..." Seeing so many thousands of years of ground milk, Chen Xian couldn't help but A burst of exclamation.

"Where is the earthworm monster you mentioned?" After sighing for a while, Chen Xian remembered the business and asked quickly.

"Earthworms live underground. Although the earthworms that protect the ground milk for thousands of years are powerful, they have not cultivated human nature and still cannot change their animal nature. Naturally, they are dormant in the rocks. As long as we go to the island, the earthworms will jump. Come out." Bone Demon explained.

"En!" Chen Xian responded lightly, expressing that he knew.

"It's not easy to deal with monsters that have not returned to human nature and acted on animal instinct alone. We have to be careful later." Madam Diyong said. When she said this, there was a look of horror on her face, as if she remembered something terrible past.

The monsters who have not returned to the human world, although their intelligence is not high, and they can't speak, they are extremely powerful.Think about the basilisk that the monkeys met in Tuoluozhuang on the way to learn the scriptures. Their two snake-like spears fought against the Monkey King and Zhu Bajie for a whole night. So he cleaned it up, and even if he was afraid of light, the basilisk came out of the hole and knocked the wild boar to the ground at once. You know how powerful these monsters that have not returned to human nature and acted on instinct are.

"That earthworm has lived here for an unknown number of years. God knows how many thousands of earth milk it has taken. Although it has no way of cultivation, it can't consume a single drop in ten days and a half months. But after a long time, its vitality is comparable to that of a divine beast, and it has been baked by the earth fire all year round. , with a body like a diamond, extremely difficult to deal with, you two should pay attention later!" Madam Bone reminded.

"Chong-"

Chen Xian pulled out the Xingshen Sword and said, "I'll try the strength of the earthworm first. If it's invincible, let's go wherever we came from!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped on the rock wall with both feet, and flew towards the boulder where the Wanzai Earth Milk was located.
