The substitute sister found that the plot collapsed

Chapter 70
Xu Ying was still listening to Yanyan's popular science, but Song Zhu had already stepped forward to have a look.

The stick was protected by a magic talisman, and Song Zhu threw away the small spell directly, blowing all the ashes off the Buddha statue.

The original black lacquered statue finally revealed its true colors, it was actually a Guanyin made of pure gold!

Of course, only Xu Ying knows this name, and also knows that worshiping Guanyin is usually for seeking a child.

But Song Zhu was disappointed, and even wondered whether to put the ashes back?

Things like gold and silver only circulate in the mortal world, they don't contain aura, and they can't be used to make weapons. What use does he want this gold for!

Also, if it was so close to the ancient battlefield, the secret treasure would have been taken away long ago. What is he expecting?

"Let's go, let's go." Song Zhu urged Xu Ying, they can't be caught by things on the road anymore, it's better to go straight to the cave.

But as soon as the two of them left the temple, they saw the wooden lid of the stone well behind them being rattled by something, and cries came to their ears one after another.

"Wow... help! Mother! Help me!"

Yes, I can't go.

Song Zhu followed Xu Ying to open the manhole cover resignedly, but it was dark inside and there was no one there.

Song Zhu felt a trace of coolness creeping down his neck to his feet, and couldn't help shivering.

See... hell?

The children's cries continued, Xu Ying bravely took a look inside, it was too deep and too dark to see clearly even with consciousness.

"What should I do?" Xu Ying asked Song Zhu nervously, they... want to go down and have a look?
"This, this..." Song Zhu was terrified by the horrifying atmosphere, but the child's cries became more and more shrill. If he left like this, he might not feel at ease in the future.

"Look!" Song Zhu gritted his teeth and took out a few talismans to Xu Ying, "Even if we can't beat them, I don't believe we can't escape!"

That being said, when Song Zhuo climbed down the uneven wall, his legs were still a little weak.

In fact, what scares him is not the powerful enemy, but the unknown. Maybe the moment he reaches the bottom of the well, the fear will disappear.

"Mom!" The crying continued, just one foot away from the two of them.

Xu Ying took out an ever-burning lamp and slowly stretched it forward.

A conch was lying upright in front of it, crying one after another from the mouth of the conch.

Solved the case, just this damn thing?
Song Zhu stepped forward to pick up the conch and shook it vigorously, trying to stop the sound, but it didn't work.

With an idea, Song Zhu injected spiritual energy into the conch, and finally got some feedback.

Unintelligible characters appear one by one on the conch, slowing down, clicking randomly, and the crying sound not only did not disappear, but replayed louder.

After half an hour.

I think I'm a fool, is there any help?

Song stared blankly at the broken conch shells on the ground, falling into self-doubt.

What was the use of him spending so long studying what those characters meant?
Xu Ying told him that the conch is a consumable, and the recording will be played at a fixed time, but the recording cannot be stopped or changed. To save the ear, the conch can only be smashed.

Song Zhu thought it was some kind of magic weapon to keep the sound, but it turned out...

The talisman and sword are also consumables, right?
Song Zhuo suddenly thought of a very serious problem. If that's the case, wouldn't he be equal to... a waste of time?
"No, no, no." Song Zhu hurriedly shook such dangerous thoughts out of his head.

There is nothing wrong with trusting your original sixth sense.

Song Zhu poured himself chicken soup, and Xu Ying, who walked around the bottom of the well, made a new discovery.

"Come and see!"

Hearing the call, Song Zhu immediately ran towards the light with big strides.

The bottom of the well was barren, only there, green grass blades grew, and among them, small corpses curled up and lay down, legs and arms folded and hugged in their arms. It is said that this is the fetus in the mother’s belly. A posture in time of relief.

But this child didn't seem to wait for his mother.

"He, he saw something hanging around his neck." Seeing that the atmosphere became sad, Song tried to divert his attention.

Indeed, a black rope got stuck on the collarbone, and the things on it fell to the ground, the same color as the mud.

Song Zhu took a deep breath, walked gently in front of the corpse, picked up the rope, one piece was lifted up suddenly, Song Zhu returned to Xu Ying with the necklace covered in mud.

"Look." Song used magic to remove the dust on it, and the necklace inside revealed its true colors.

Guanyin... is exactly the same as the big Guanyin statue.

This child was begged by his mother from Guanyin, so when he encountered danger, he thought of sending him here for refuge.

"Let's go."

Xu Ying took one last look at the boy's small tomb. The jade pendant was buried in the ground together with the boy's remains.

If possible, I hope he can take the jade pendant to find his mother and continue his relationship.

Continuing to walk west, the two finally saw the place Song Zhuo's friend mentioned.

"The corrosive hot spring is shaped like a half moon. There is a dead fish in it, which is not a fish. It will jump out and attack you when you get close."

From Song's description, the hot spring in front of him should be the place where his friend turned to go south.

It was getting closer and closer to victory, but this time, it was Song Zhu who couldn't move forward.

"The herbs in it are definitely good things!" Song Zhuo stared at the hot spring greedily, and there was already a pile of corpses of strange fish beside him.

"You have a way to get it?" Xu Ying wandered back and forth, he wasted more time than her combined, why is he not in a hurry now.

"I think we can try to make volcanic rock into something like chopsticks." Song tried many things, but none of them could resist the corrosion of hot springs.

But the material that can resist corrosion is close in front of him, and he discovered it only now!Song Zhuo hummed and found a boulder to process.

"Stop looking for swords and talismans?" Xu Ying watched Song Zhuo's movements while helping.

If you don't have any experience at first glance, where are the cracks?

But Song Zhu didn't know anything about it, and thought it would take a long time to gather herbs?
"It will be ready soon, you don't need to sharpen the stone, just help me handle the fish." Song pointed to the hot spring.

The strange fish over there didn't know what to think. It jumped to the shore with a crackling sound, but it was still alive, struggling to jump in the direction of the food.

Xu Ying walked and poked, and there were a lot of strange fish corpses, but there were still a few fish with bulging bellies in the hot spring that could not come out.

Xu Ying guessed whether they were female or not, and they were pregnant, so they didn't come out to hunt, so they just waited to be fed!
If they don't come out, no matter what they say, it will affect the progress of Song Zhuo's harvesting of herbs, and they must be eliminated!

Xu Ying looked left and right, found a slender stone and sharpened it, and aimed at a strange fish with one shot. The blood of the fish was diluted quickly, but the remaining fish meat attracted other fish to rush over and tear it up. Biting, there is no concept of showing mercy to the same kind.

Song Zhu's giant chopsticks were also ready, and when the fish in the hot spring were cleared away, Song Zhu carried the chopsticks from left to right into the hot spring.

This time it really wasn't corroded, but Song Zhu really overestimated his ability to control, sometimes the time for a cup of tea passed, the herb was still swaying at the bottom of the water, and Song Zhu was so angry that he almost tried to pull it out.

"Or...forget it." Xu Ying yawned boredly, and Song Zhuo dragged her over the next second as free labor.

"Everyone takes one, I don't believe it!" Song Zhu gritted his teeth, and if he gave up at this time, all his previous work would be in vain.
