Chapter 1067: The Unsinkable Sinking
Yin Buchen's father is a beast monster, and he himself is a half-demon. No matter what kind of monster, it usually only turns into the symbolic beast of the clan, such as the iron-spine dragon, and it is considered a shame to transform into other beasts.
Ever since the Demon Lord Zhengfa, which he had worked so hard to cultivate, was taken away by Lord Yishi, Yin Buchen didn't have much sense of shame left, so when Qin Lingshuang asked him to turn into a red-furred fox, he didn't show any embarrassment. He only raised one question: "Is it possible? Ordinary illusion techniques cannot deceive the Taoist priest's third eye."
What Qin Lingshuang cast was not an ordinary illusion, but a profound spell recorded in Taoist secret books. It might not be able to deceive the Rimang Taoist priests, but it was enough to make it difficult for ordinary Taoist priests to distinguish between true and false. She even asked Yin Buchen to take out two crystal eyes and confront them alone. It casts spells to cover up the evil spirit within it.
"Sun Yulu used the art of avoiding water not long ago. The hiding place of the Taoist priests in Luanjing Mountain is most likely under the water. You go find it. You don't have to do anything. Come back and notify us." Qin Lingshuang said in front of Sun Yulu's Four treasures were revealed. They not only showed off, but also quietly inspected them.
"Taoist Qin has great magical powers, ingenious calculations, and miraculous powers... It's really ridiculous that Taoist Luanjingshan still wants to avoid seeing him." Yin Buchen said flatteringly. When he realized that he was a fox and shouldn't speak human words, he hurriedly shut up. .
"Be careful, I've hidden most of the magic aura for you, but if you reveal it yourself, I can't help you."
Yin Buchen shook his head hurriedly, then turned around and dove into the thorn bushes. From now on, he concentrated on pretending to be a fox and looked for water in the direction Qin Lingshuang pointed to him.
If the fox body wants to speak human words, it must resort to witchcraft or spells, which will reveal its whereabouts, so Yin Buchen did not dare to speak again, nor did he dare to run too fast, but he began to curse in his heart.
"I am the son of King Jiao!" He thought angrily in his heart, as if he was speaking in front of Qin Lingshuang. "In the sea, the Iron Jiao clan is the king of all monsters. Even on land, no monster clan dares to look down on us. , Iron dragons are everywhere, beasts give way, monsters bow their heads, alas, they have fallen, and Longyou is being tricked by shrimps in the shallows..."
While Yin Buchen fantasized about the lofty status of the Tiejiao clan that had never existed, he sniffed around with his nose, looking for nearby water sources.
There are creeks, springs and ponds in the mountains, with many water sources. Yin Bushen found several of them one after another. They were all crystal clear and there was no place to hide.
"Qin Lingshuang - no, I have to call her Taoist Qin even in my heart, so as not to call her Shunzui in the future - Taoist Qin is really ridiculous, and she comes up with random ideas. Even if those little Taoist priests are really hiding under the water, won't they use magic to hide it? How can I see through these disguises if I become a fox and can't cast spells? Alas, Mu Xingqiu has also fallen into disgrace. In the past, he was the one who made the decisions. At least he could still listen to my few words of advice. But now, he stands like a tree. There, not a word was spoken for a long time, not a word of objection was raised. Mu Xingqiu seemed to have been hit hard. "
Yin Buchen was full of complaints. There were almost no flaws in the fox he transformed into, except for one thing. He was not as alert as a real fox. He dared to dive anywhere. He also focused on pursuing water sources and paid little attention to other situations. Therefore, when he encountered a fierce tiger, At that time, there was no defense at all.
The tiger was lying in the shade of the tree as if sleeping, with its big mouth slightly open, its belly rising and falling like a bellows, and half a deer corpse lying beside it.
Yin Buchen was so unprepared that he thought this was an ambush set by the female Taoist priest from Luanjing Mountain. At this moment, his reaction was really like that of a fox, somersaulting to the ground, kicking around with all four legs, and immediately trying to escape with a spell. , but he was too anxious, and Qin Lingshuang's spell was too powerful. He couldn't get rid of the beast form for a while, so he could only run away with his tail between his legs, and burrowed wherever the thorns were thick.
After escaping for two miles, Yin Buchen stopped. The tiger was probably full and did not pursue him at all. He remembered that he did not need to be afraid of ordinary beasts, so he had to blame Taoist Qin for his embarrassing behavior: She turned into a fox. It's so realistic that even my mentality has changed.
Yin Buchen walked for a while and suddenly felt something was wrong. He was running towards the water source before he bumped into the tiger. As a result, he ran away without seeing the water source. What if that was the hiding place of the female Taoist priest? That tiger looks very real, maybe it was transformed by advanced magic.
Yin Buchen hesitated. Finding the target was a meritorious service, but angering the female Taoist priest was seeking death. He walked back and forth several times, finally made a decision, took a look at it from a distance, and then went back to let Taoist Qin make his own decision.
He walked around the tiger. Even though it was just a mortal beast, he didn't want to fight it with the body of a fox. Qin Lingshuang didn't know what method he used. His demonic power was getting weaker and weaker. It was already minimal and he was unable to perform magic.
On a cliff, Yin Buchen looked down and saw lush trees in the valley, with branches and leaves covering the sky. Nothing on the ground could be seen, and the tiger's position happened to guard the only entrance.
"Ha, there is indeed something wrong with this tiger. It may be a real tiger, specially used to intimidate mortals and not allow them to enter the valley." Yin Buchen felt that this was enough, and he could go back to claim credit from Taoist Qin. He turned around and walked a few steps before changing his mind. Mu Xingqiu was easy to deal with, but Taoist Qin was a big trouble. He couldn't answer a few more questions.
Yin Buchen hesitated again and again, but turned back to the edge of the cliff, found a relatively gentle place, and jumped down little by little with the help of overgrown trees.
There were no ferocious beasts guarding the valley bottom, but there were quite a few small animals. When they saw the fox, they ran away. Yin Buchen chased after him for a while, feeling proud, and then started to do serious things, sniffing out the location of the water source.
It was getting dark soon, and he hoped to find clues and report back soon.
There are three water sources in the valley, including a stream flowing out of the valley and two springs. There is nothing special about them. Yin Buchen was quite disappointed. In this way, except for the tiger guarding the entrance, he has nothing to say when he returns. Taoist Qin will definitely not be satisfied.
Yin Buchen raised his head and took a deep breath slowly. There was no new discovery. He walked a distance and sniffed again. He did this seven times. After circling most of the valley, he finally smelled a trace of water vapor, which was different from the one stream and two springs he had seen before.
Yin Buchen was so happy that he even forgot to be cautious and immediately ran along the water vapor.
The new water source is a pool of water, located under the cliff. He passed by here once before and didn't notice it. The pool is very small, and the widest part is less than two meters. It is dark and can't be seen from the sun.
"It's enough to stop here." Yin Buchen reminded himself not to worry about whether there is any problem with the pool, let Taoist Qin investigate it himself.
After turning around and walking a short distance, Yin Buchen stopped. He thought that he was already a living demon, completely controlled by Yi Shijun. He didn't know how much suffering he would have to endure in the future. It seemed that only Taoist Qin could save him from the sea of suffering. How could he ask for her mercy without doing one or two reasonable merits?
"Find a stone and throw it in to check the depth." Yin Buchen thought this was a good idea. There was a small stone not far away. He ran to pick it up with his mouth, lamented his fall again, and then returned to the water. Just as he was about to throw the stone, he slipped and fell into the water.
Yin Buchen was startled and stomped his four feet around, trying to jump back to the shore, but as soon as his head emerged from the water, he found something strange. He actually shed his fox form and turned into a small dragon, no more than two feet long, with no horns on his head, scales on his body, and slender four legs under his belly.
Yin Bushen felt confused for the first time. His actions just now were not like his usual self. This transformation was not within his will. Could it be...
The thought just arose and then disappeared again. "These are all the magic of Taoist Qin. She is really powerful. Maybe she is more powerful than Laojun." Yin Bushen thought so. He wanted to make a contribution even more. He did not jump out of the water, but dived into the water.
The iron dragon is good at water. Yin Bushen has lived in the South China Sea since he was a child. He is quite good at water. After diving for several feet, he became more and more convinced that this pool must have hidden mysteries.
The pool is very deep, and the buoyancy gradually increases. As a descendant of the iron dragon, Yin Bushen has his own way. He does not need to use magic, but absorbs water. He keeps absorbing water. Slowly, the thin dragon body becomes a ball, and he continues to dive like a turtle.
Thinking of turtles, Yin Bushen naturally thought of Feixiao and cursed in his heart.
I don't know how deep he dived. The buoyancy in the water suddenly disappeared. Yin Bushen stopped immediately. He knew that only powerful magic could cause such a strange phenomenon.
The bottom of the pool was pitch black. Yin Buchen was thinking about how to observe the situation when suddenly his eyes lit up. He could actually see things. Although it was not particularly clear, he could see the general situation.
Yin Bujue was puzzled for the second time, thinking that everything was too coincidental. Then he attributed it to the powerful magic of Taoist Qin and calmed down to look around.
There was water everywhere, not even small fish and shrimps. He spit out the water in his stomach and continued to dive deeper carefully. After dozens of feet, his eyes lit up again. This time it had nothing to do with the crystal eye. The light came from the outside world.
Yin Buchen's courage had reached its limit. There was no reason for him to continue taking risks, but there was a force in his body pushing him forward. He was surprised to find that his body seemed to be out of his control.
Then he saw a tripod, a huge tripod, eight or nine feet high. The light was emitted by it. A group of female Taoist priests stood or sat around it. The number was more than Yin Buchen expected, at least one hundred.
"It's OK. There is no more direct evidence than this. The Siming Ding is in the hands of the female Taoist priest." Yin Buchen said to himself, hoping to persuade the power that controlled him to disappear so that he could go back and report to Taoist Qin.
The power disappeared, Yin Buchen breathed a sigh of relief, slowly floated up, and put away the magic power of the crystal eyes, fearing that he would be noticed by the female Taoist priests.
But things would not always go smoothly. Yin Buchen suddenly felt his body tighten. He was held by something and sank quickly. In a moment, he was near the giant tripod.
He was indeed held by a hand, and a crisp voice said: "What a strange water snake with four legs."
Yin Buchen struggled hard and shouted out human words: "I'm not a water snake, I'm an iron-backed dragon!"
"Well, dragon meat should be delicious."
Yin Buchen felt that the voice was familiar, turned his head and looked, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Xiaohao, why is it you?"
