"Treasure Storing Palace!"
Someone shouted excitedly.
The group of Xieling Mountain Bandits were all dazzled by the gold and jade treasures and felt that this trip was not in vain.
That Yuan Dynasty general really hid countless treasures in his tomb.
"I'm rich, I'm rich."
Someone shouted excitedly.
The group of Xieling Mountain Bandits scattered and couldn't help but touch the gold and jade artifacts, wanting to start digging and moving.
"Don't move!"
At this moment, Chen Yulou stopped everyone and said in a deep voice,"There must be some sort of trap in the place where the treasure is hidden. After we find the coffin and distribute the treasures of the Yuan Dynasty general, we will empty this place.”
All the thieves in the mountains agreed.
The funerary objects in the Yuan Dynasty general's coffin must have been part of his collection.
Even in his era, those treasures were worth thousands of gold.
Now, it was even more priceless.
Just one piece was enough to feed him for a few lifetimes.
Compared to it, these gold and jade artifacts seemed insignificant.
Everyone suppressed their greed and continued walking forward.
After taking a few steps.
A "Jadewater Golden Pool" entered his sight.
The water in the pool was clear and sparkling. There were countless gold ingots, silver ingots, and copper coins piled up into a mountain. There were also many jewelry. Looking at it, it was dazzling.
On top of the golden mountain in the pond, there was a golden toad.
It was about the size of a millstone, and it looked lifelike as it raised its head.
With its two front legs propped up and one plump hind leg coiled behind it, it was actually a three-legged golden toad!
The three-legged golden toad was an auspicious item in Chinese mythology.
As the saying goes,"A phoenix will not perch unless it is a parasol tree, and a golden toad will not perch unless it is a land of wealth."
The places where the three-legged golden toads lived were all treasure troves. The golden toads placed in the house had the functions of absorbing, spitting, gathering, and suppressing wealth. They were the best mascots for business that could increase one's fortune.
However, when Chen Yulou and the others looked over, they couldn't help but feel puzzled.
This was because the common three-legged golden toad was often a mascot with its eyes open and its mouth containing copper coins.
However, this golden toad had its eyes closed.
Moreover, the placement of the three-legged golden toad was also very particular. When placed, its mouth had to face the inside of the house, which meant that it would increase the family's wealth. If it accidentally opened its mouth, it would have the intention of spitting out money.
Since this three-legged golden toad was the guardian divine beast of the tomb owner's Treasure Storing Palace, it obviously didn't want the treasures in the palace to be taken away by grave robbers. Why was it in such a strange shape?
" Strange, it's really strange."
Zhe Gushao and Chen Yulou secretly frowned and couldn't help but think,""Could it be that there's something strange about that golden toad?”
At this moment, a few Xieling Mountain Bandits couldn't help but feel greedy and walked towards the Crystal-Clear Water Pond.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a low roar came from behind the crowd.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Shi Jian looking at the three-legged golden toad with a surprised expression."That's a living thing, don't disturb it. Wait for me to use my methods to subdue it.”
Everyone was shocked.
Living creatures?
Everyone was shocked and quickly turned their heads to look.
When he saw this, his hair stood on end.
The three-legged golden toad on the golden mountain had opened its eyes at some point in time. Its large ruby-like eyes looked calm as it ignored everyone. Although it did not move, it gave off an awe-inspiring aura.
"Alive, alive…"
Someone exclaimed.
At this moment, Shi Jian walked forward with an excited expression.
He didn't expect that Golden Spring Palace would have a surprise. There was actually a rare three-legged golden toad!
The golden toad was a metal, a prehistoric species of the five elements and five poisons.
His talent was much stronger than the six-winged centipede.
Creation!
It was truly a great fortune!
However, the three-legged golden toad was as big as a millstone. It didn't look as big as the six-winged centipede, but Shi Jian didn't dare to underestimate it. He was even more cautious than when he was dealing with the six-winged centipede.
The legend of the three-legged golden toad was actually mostly related to the immortal Liu Hai of the Tang Dynasty.
As the saying goes, bangs play with the golden toad, and money is caught step by step.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a big monster whose body was a three-legged golden toad. It often ate living people and harmed Changde and other places.
Liu Hai had used money as bait to lure the golden toad to eat it. In the end, he had fallen into the trap step by step and was subdued by Liu Hai. He became a divine beast under Liu Hai and cultivated to become an immortal with him.
Because Liu Hai often does good deeds, he often gives money to the poor.
Due to the Three-legged Golden Toad's nature, it could identify the gold and silver treasures buried underground. Therefore, the Three-legged Golden Toad gradually became an auspicious sign in China and a divine beast that made the people rich.
But in fact, the real auspicious divine beast was only the one under Liu Hai.
The other Three-legged Golden Toads also had the ability to identify gold and silver treasures underground, but that was due to their physical properties. They were still ferocious by nature. Once they cultivated into a demon, they were often more than a hundred times stronger than ordinary demons.
For hundreds of years, there was only one that was imprisoned by Master Zhang at the back of Mount Longhu to guard the Wordless Heavenly Book.
The other three-legged golden toads had seen and heard of the world.
Once they were born, they would definitely have remarkable abilities and would be a great demon that could run amuck in an area.
If one really treated it as a divine beast and thought that it was safe and sound, it would definitely die without knowing how.
Therefore, although Shi Jian wanted to surrender, he was afraid of the Three-legged Golden Toad and didn't dare to act rashly.
"Gua ~~~"
However, Shi Jian didn't move, but the three-legged golden toad did.
Suddenly, the three-legged golden toad lying on the golden mountain and silver sea opened its mouth and let out a loud croak. Its voice was like thunder, echoing in the Golden Spring Hall, causing everyone's hearts to tremble. Blood surged in their bodies, and they spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shi Jian was also shocked.
Whether it was the six-winged centipede, black python, or thousand-year-old gecko, their hissing and growls all had the effect of capturing one's soul.
However, it was definitely not as powerful as the Three-legged Golden Toad!
A single croak caused Shi Jian's heart to tremble, and the blood in his body began to boil, and a fishy smell rushed up to his throat.
He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, before he could calm himself down, a Chilian suddenly shot over.
Shi Jian's expression changed. He quickly used the Thundering Steps and dodged to another place.
The golden toad had actually attacked him.
Shi Jian's body was covered in lightning. He was like a god of thunder that had descended to the mortal world. The three-legged golden toad's ruby-like eyes were filled with surprise. It turned around and charged at the flower spirit.
"Flower spirit, be careful!"
Fortunately, the flower spirit had Zhe Gushao by its side. When it suddenly saw a red silk horse coming at it, it hurriedly wrapped its arms around the flower spirit's waist. With a kick of its hind legs, it suddenly leaped into the air and dodged to a spot, dodging this sneak attack.
The three-legged golden toad was even more surprised after two consecutive failures, and a trace of anger rose in its heart.
The scarlet streak suddenly wrapped around the old foreigner who was standing at the side. It suddenly turned into a scarlet streak of light and rolled into the mouth of the three-legged golden toad on the golden mountain and silver sea.
"Old foreigner!"
"Senior Brother!"
In an instant, the expressions of Zhe Gushao and Hua Ling changed. They could not help but gnash their teeth and roar angrily.
