My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 125 Crypt
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, be careful, the poisonous aura over there is very powerful!"

The second sister of Baiyuntan pointed to the valley and basin ahead to remind Jiang Yuan.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan slowed down his flight speed and stared ahead.

Just looking at it from a distance, one can feel a rotten atmosphere in the valley.

The green and poisonous water flowed everywhere, the blackened mud had a stench that was visible to the naked eye, and the sparse bushes showed signs of corruption.

However, no miasma was seen.

Jiang Yuan was puzzled.

At this time, a group of squawking scavengers flew past, attracted by the rotten valley, and bent over.

As soon as the flock of birds entered the valley, the silent valley "woke up" in an instant, and miasma spewed out from the ground like fountains.

Crash, the black flock of birds fell in large swaths, falling into the poisonous water of the swamp, sizzling and turning into pus.

"There is an invisible air in the valley. Once something from outside stirs up that air, it will cause miasma to erupt."

A gentle female voice explained next to his ear, Jiang Yuan turned his head to look.

The second sister of Baiyuntan was still wearing her feather robe, sitting on the back of a suanni with her waist straight.

Behind the second sister, there was a young girl in a black dress. The young girl looked at the valley in front of her, and the lingering fear on her face was still there. She had suffered a lot because of her recklessness.

That suanni is the moon-swallowing clam's mount, and the purpose of Jiang Yuan's trip is to find an antidote for Sister Baiyuntan.

However, the five sisters returned to Baiyun Pool after parting with Jiang Yuan and the meritorious officer of the year. According to Jiang Yuan's suggestion, the eldest sister was placed at the bottom of Baiyun Pool, and with the help of meditation formulas, the eldest sister indeed suppressed the poisonous poison.

However, the girls have been busy for several days, but they still haven't been able to find a way to help the elder sister completely get rid of the poison.

Later, the second sister had an idea, thinking of the saying "Where poisonous snakes haunt, there must be an antidote within seven steps", the girls changed their minds and began to search for the root of the moon-swallowing clam.

According to the few words that Tun Yue Clam once revealed, it took another few days to run around, and finally, I ran into Suan Ni, who was also looking for the "relict treasure" of Tun Yue Clam.

There is probably no one in the world who understands the Moon Swallowing Clam better than Suan Ni who is the mount.

Just like the expectations of all the girls, after struggling to win Suan Ni, they found what they were looking for.

Suan Ni told the girls that Moon Swallowing Clam would go to a secret place deep in the Daze every once in a while and stay for a few days.

But Suan Ni only knows the direction of the secret place, but not the exact location. When it encounters the women of Baiyuntan, it is also looking for it.

This spirit beast thinks that the Moon Swallowing Clam must have hidden treasure in a secret place.

The so-called secret place refers to the valley basin ahead at this time.

The girls, together with Suan Ni, took a lot of effort to confirm the location, and then encountered difficulties, so they had to ask Jiang Yuan for help again.

Jiang Yuan had just made a breakthrough, his injuries were almost healed, and he was very interested in the "legacy" of the Moon Swallowing Clam, so he agreed.

Originally, I wanted to call Ma Ying, but the Sanjiangkou water god's seal reached a critical point, and Ma Ying couldn't leave.

In the end, Jiang Yuan, Baiyuntan's second sister and Xiao Wu came here together.

Jiang Yuan, who has already circulated Qi around the sky, has a sharper perception of the aura of heaven and earth. According to the second sister's reminder, he looked at the valley with concentration and observed for a while, and soon discovered the abnormal phenomenon.

As the second sister said, there is an invisible air lingering in the valley, sometimes floating like mist, sometimes swirling like a whirlpool, and after a while, it scurry around in the valley again.

"How do we get into the valley?"

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

The girl in feather clothes replied: "You can only go in on foot, and you must move slowly."

Xiao Wu pursed his lips and looked unhappy: "The valley is full of poisonous water, and it stinks so badly, it's disgusting."

Jiang Yuan looked at the valley and felt a headache, but he could only say: "Then go down."

After finishing speaking, Yu sent the wind mass to float towards the entrance of the valley.

The girl in feather clothes patted Suan Ni on the head, and the spirit beast stepped on the cloud and landed slowly, shaking its head.

The moment he stepped into the valley, even though he was mentally prepared, Jiang Yuan was still blinded by the extremely strong stench and rotten smell, and his stomach churned crazily.

A silk handkerchief embroidered with swan patterns suddenly appeared in front of him, and Jiang Yuan turned his head.

The girl in feather clothes covered her mouth and nose with a silk scarf with one hand, and handed it over with the other: "This silk scarf can isolate some rancid smell."

Xiao Wu, who was beside him with a wrinkled face, had already blocked his mouth and nose.

Because the 狻猊 is a spirit beast, the five senses are more acute, and they will not enter the valley even if they are killed.

Both Jiang Yuan and the two women were afraid that they would vomit on the spot if they opened their mouths, so they remained silent.

Jiang Yuan nodded to the girl in feather clothes, took the silk handkerchief and quickly covered his mouth, a cool and delicate fragrance came over him, driving away the rotten smell, clearing Jiang Yuan's mind.

But soon, the faint rotten stench seeped into the nose and mouth again.

Every muscle in the whole body is trembling, urging Jiang Yuan to jump up, escape from the valley or cross quickly.

However, the slowly entangled invisible air current made Jiang Yuan not dare to act excessively in the slightest. He could only squirm, slap, slap, one step at a time, slowly wriggling like an old man on the verge of death.

After walking for half an hour, I had just walked half the distance, and then, a shocking change happened.

The two girls came earlier, Jiang Yuan knew the importance and was very cautious, but they were not the only ones in the world.

quack!

A flower toad the size of an adult's palm jumped out of the bushes, jumped over a pool of poisonous water, and landed with a slap.

Jiang Yuan could clearly feel that the big jumping toad created an invisible ripple, and that ripple stirred up the strange air current lingering in the valley.

呲!
The toad that had just landed was pierced by the miasma sprayed from below, turning into a piece of rotten flesh.

Immediately, with the toad minced meat as the center, miasma fountains spread in all directions.

"Damn it! Since this toad lives in the valley, shouldn't he adapt to the rules here?"

Jiang Yuan cursed in his heart, suddenly there was a sound in front of him, and a miasma burst from the ground, almost instantly, the mud under Jiang Yuan's feet trembled slightly.

The scarlet protective mask appeared in an instant, and Jiang Yuan flew to dodge.

Before landing, there was a loud bang, and a big hole was directly shot out of the dharma mask on his body, which buzzed and trembled twice, and then collapsed.

"What a horrible miasma!"

Jiang Yuan was astonished, how many monsters and alchemists he had blocked with this body shield, even a miasma could not resist it.

Another series of jets of miasma chased after him. The shocked Jiang could have escaped, but a white catkin grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't move around!"

The girl in feather clothes quickly stopped Jiang Yuan who was about to stand up, and then turned her head to gesture to Xiao Wu.

The girl in black immediately took out a few black feathers from her bosom, put them in her palm and blew gently, and the shiny black feathers floated away.

After leaving the surroundings of the three of them, one of the feathers suddenly accelerated, shooting into a swamp like a flying sword.

Bark!Bark!Even if there is miasma spewing wildly.

Another feather moved towards the other side, also speeding past, stirring up countless miasmas again.

Xiao Wu blew out a total of four feathers, one after another, shooting in different directions, and then Jiang Yuan was surprised to find that the miasma jet was confined, and a range centered on the four feathers no longer spread outward.

After about a cup of tea, the miasma outbreak ended and the valley was calm again.

Jiang Yuan turned his head and gave the girl admiring eyes, and the girl raised her eyebrows proudly.

The girl in feather clothes glanced dotingly at the girl, then gently pulled Jiang Yuan down, indicating to continue walking.

There was no accident in the second half of the journey. After avoiding puddles of poisonous water and walking carefully for more than half an hour, I arrived at a mountain cave.

The cave is full of rocks, no longer a swamp, and no more miasma erupting. Both Jiang Yuan and the two women heaved a sigh of relief.

After walking to the depths for a stick of incense, the vision gradually dimmed, and the rotten stench of the swamp slowly dissipated, but there was a strange smell with a fishy smell.

"Don't put down Sipa, it's a miasma, it's poisonous."

The girl in feather clothes reminded in a low voice.

After turning a few corners, I finally arrived at a dark cave, and the cool fragrance came to my face. When I smelled it, it was like swallowing a mouthful of ice water, and the inside and outside were cold.

"Okay, this fragrance can cure the poison of miasma."

The girl in feather clothes put down the silk scarf covering her nose and mouth, and the girl in black cheered even more, and rushed into the cave quickly.

Jiang Yuan stepped into the cave quickly, seeing a glow in his eyes, but the cave is full of strange fungi, and the fluorescent light is emitted by the fungus.

"Sipa soaked the fungus in this place to resist miasma and rot."

The girl in feather clothes pointed at Yingcao on the ground, and smiled softly at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan looked at the silk handkerchief in his hand, "I see."

"Come on."

The girl in black stood in the middle of the Juncao and waved to the two of them.

Jiang Yuan casually put Sipa in his cassock, strode up to the girl, and looked down, there was a hole less than a foot wide exposed in the Yingcao.

Going to the entrance of the cave and looking inward, the inside is hazy, as if filled with boundless clouds and mist, and the spiritual sense is released to test, but it is also like a fog, and I can't feel anything, and I even feel a little dizzy.

Jiang Yuan shook his head, stood up and looked at the two women, "Is this the crypt you mentioned?"

The girl lifted her foot and kicked the hole hard, and said angrily, "That's it!"

The girl in feather clothes stepped forward, looked at Mimeng in the cave, and sighed: "My sisters and I have tried many methods, but we can't find out what's going on inside."

The girl spread out her hands, revealing a few white feathers in her palm, "The feathers of our sisters' body, after refining, can communicate with each other, and it is very suitable for detecting the situation."

The girl Xiaowu said angrily, "The refining spirit feathers that my sisters and I left behind all lost contact very quickly."

If you don't understand the situation, you definitely can't go on rashly, it's too dangerous.

After hearing this, Jiang Yuan lowered his head and pondered.

First of all, the crypt below must be connected to the valley outside, and it should be miasma that obscures sight and perception.

Secondly, if this place is really the "secret place" of the moon swallowing clam, there may be "guards" arranged.

When I raised my head while thinking about it, I saw that the two women were all staring at me with anticipation, and said immediately: "Don't expect too much from me."

The girl in feather clothes blinked her eyes, her eyes were like water, "I believe in you."

"And me!" The girl Xiaowu nodded repeatedly.

The girl in feather clothes showed a smile, "So after being blocked, our sisters immediately thought of Jiang Daoyou."

Jiang Yuan had no choice but to continue to look at the crypt, pondered for a while, then raised his hand to wipe the ochre-yellow cassock, and the red snake flying sword fell into his hand, along with the red bead.

"You have a solution?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan's movements, the girl's eyes lit up and she asked eagerly.

Jiang Yuan smiled and shook his head, "I want to try it myself."

"Fellow daoist, be careful!" The girl in feather clothes said with concern, "If there is any danger, you should take care of yourself."
