448 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!
Buzz!
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.
Everyone was looking at the jade pendant Zhao Ya was holding 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 magic weapon that could protect her safety: the Maitreya Buddha statue!
A huge Buddha statue wrapped in shells was speeding through the tunnel, 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 were following 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, while 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. They were really scared by the tentacles just now, so 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, closing 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 open to 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.
Indeed, we have come this far, so who can go back empty-handed? It doesn't make sense.
Then it all depends on your 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. 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, Princess, please 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?"
