117. The Temple and the Oracle

As the fishing boat went deeper into the sea, it shook a little, shaking Meng Li wanted to vomit, he looked at the blue who was standing very firmly in the stern, and could only close his eyes to recuperate. Not being able to see the sea is also a kind of psychological comfort, at least Meng Li feels that the fire spirit stone in his mouth is very good, which makes him feel a lot more settled. Only the spirit stones of excellent quality have such a harmonious and self-contained elemental small world circulating in it, although Xuanyuan Yan can also feel that the energy contained in it is extremely strong, but after all, he has lived many years less than Meng Li, and he has been left in the native world by strawberries, and he has no understanding of the power system of these non-native worlds.

As far as this inhabitant of Ahimi is concerned, how can he have the technology to mine such a fine spirit stone? and the address of the mysterious island and the temple in the family? I'm afraid it's the ruins of Skebia, the island of Sky, and the powder doesn't smell like shellfish, but like dried blood foam, how can others hide it from me if they can't smell it? Don't you just take advantage of the fact that those two people are young and greedy for money and the other are soft-hearted and talkative, what kind of kindness can he have when he leads us over? I-no, I can't do it, the spirit stone will fall out if I get it.

Blue hummed a tune, his voice was particularly stable in the sound of the waves, like a reef, allowing the waves to constantly wash and want to drown it, but it always conveyed Blue's emotional freedom and firmness, and also made Lin Ziyue and Meng Li think about it.

The boat was neither slow nor steady, but the waves seemed to be extraordinarily gentle today, as if they were hugging this insignificant boat, knowing where it was going.

Lin Ziyue's expression suddenly turned grim, and a certain sense of oppression appeared, coming from an island that was still a short distance away. She immediately knew that that was the destination, and I was afraid that there was indeed some kind of prohibition on the island, so although she felt that the oppressive force was extremely strong, she could only feel it when she walked to a nearby place. Thinking of this, Lin Ziyue poked her head out and looked into the water a few times, and quickly retracted her head: "I seem to have seen something following the fishing boat just now, with a flat black body, but the fins and head and tail are all red spots, there are about seven or eight." ”

Qian Qiu's face turned white in an instant, he knew that the bite force of the star pomfret was very strong, and he had even seen the kind of fish carcass with teeth like saws, and live fish could even break up centimeter-thick planks by constantly biting. Qian Qiu shouted at Meng Li: "Quick, quick! Take out the powder of that thing and sprinkle it down! That's the star pomfret! It will gather frantically in a while! When the fish go crazy, even the boat will be gnawed through!"

Meng Li also felt the prohibition, so he stopped watching from the sidelines, and looked at Qian Qiu very calmly, with some ridicule in his eyes. After swallowing the spirit stone in his mouth directly into his stomach, Meng Li said calmly: "If you don't want to die faster, it's best not to use that powder." ”

"Isn't it......" Although Qian Qiu is a bit of a teenager, hot-blooded, naΓ―ve and loves money, he is not stupid, and he can stand out from a group of brothers and become the representative of the Qian family's ancestor voyage this year, which is enough to show his talent. Qian Qiu was originally a very clever person, but when he heard Meng Li say this, he looked at Blue and his eyes suddenly became unkind.

"Young Master Qian, I originally only planned to invite a certain moon god to come, but you must come with me. I can still accept you alone, and now you regret not bringing a guard, isn't it too late?"

Qian Qiu moved to the side, hugged Meng Li's arm, and his eyes were fierce: "Don't think I'm afraid of you! I can't bend my might! I only bow to money in my life! You don't deserve to be afraid of me!"

Meng Li "plucked" Qian Qiu from his arm with a disgusted expression: "It's already very courageous for you to jump into the sea now, could it be that you have so little confidence in me and Ziyue?"

Qian Qiu was very aggrieved: "It's all stars and pomfret below! What do you want me to do! Lose weight!?"

"That must be able to lose a lot of meat......," Lin Ziyue quipped, but her equally calm gaze made Qian Qiu's heart settle down a lot, Lin Ziyue is not a particularly joking person, Qian Qiu knows that her personality is quite serious, but since she can still joke at this time, it means that she must know in her heart, or she feels that there is no hope to struggle at all. Now that he knew that it would be either the best or the worst, Qian Qiu suddenly became single, and was no longer afraid, and sat down on the wooden board again, just looking at Blue's little eyes as if he were sharpening a knife.

"Young Master Qian is really courageous, admire!" Although Blue was still laughing, the original enthusiasm in his eyes faded, and the white teeth were a little mad, "The moon god and this ...... Presumably you're an oracle too, right?"

Meng Li's eyebrows raised and he wanted to spray people, but when he saw Lin Ziyue's eyes with deep meaning, he immediately closed his mouth, intending to hear what kind of medicine was in this young man's gourd. Lin Ziyue sighed in her heart after hearing the word "also", it seems that this guy has no intention of hiding his divine background.

That's right, this person's purpose from the beginning may have been to push Lin Ziyue in front of someone who could talk to her, and his respect from beginning to end was sincere.

Lin Ziyue glanced out of the boat again, and quickly retracted her gaze, there were too many star pomfret gathered close to the hull of the boat, like a swarm of bees lying on the hive, dense and disgusting, the bump of the boat became worse, she didn't suspect that there were star pomfret arching the boat below, this young man would definitely do something to prevent them from leaving easily.

Lin Ziyue smiled at Blue and said, "Since you are a divine envoy, then show your intentions." ”

Blue's hand stopped, but the boat continued to move slowly.

"I have come to invite you to the temple to speak to the gods of Skaebia. Your power will surely restore the gods to their former glory. ”

"Let's not talk about why you believe in a liar who claims to be a 'god', are you sure Ziyue can help that thing?"

"God is watching me, and knowing the world through me, he will naturally be able to communicate His will to me. ”

Meng Li turned around, his mouth silently gestured at Lin Ziyue with the word "possessed", but Lin Ziyue shook her head, she felt that there was a hidden meaning in this: "Since your purpose has been debunked by us, what are you going to do now?"

The sound of gnawing under the boat suddenly became louder, and Blue looked at the grim faces of the three with a smile on his face. Meng Li took out the bag of powder and threw it out far away. In an instant, the gnawing sound under the boat was gone, and the spot where the bag of powder fell to the surface of the sea frantically stirred up the waves, and Blue shook his head amusefully and shook the boat again.

"It's my pleasure that the moon god trusts me. This envoy saw through my tricks at a glance, but he didn't have the grace of the moon god at allβ€”"

"I warn you, if you call me the oracle again, I'll stab you through a sieve. Meng Li's face was cold, and there was already a long sword in his right hand.

"Blue, please tell me what exactly you're going to do. ”

Blue's expression was no longer so casual: "Since you are serious enough to know, of course I, as an envoy, cannot go against such an existence as you. My ancestors did discover the temple, but the temple belonged to the gods from then until now. It is a very beautiful and holy life, and because you are like God, you must feel it too. ”

Lin Ziyue suddenly felt a strong uneasiness: "What do you mean by the same?"

"I was also in the crowd when you saved the South Pier, and God and I felt your great power. That's why God wants to see you no matter what, and for that reason he will not hesitate to give out his most precious things. It's a pity to be coveted by unqualified messengers......"

Meng Li didn't react, although the meaning in Blue's eyes was obvious, and the words also referred to him, Meng Li glared back at Blue unceremoniously, and his hand kept stroking back and forth on the scabbard.

As the ship approached the forbidden island, there was a cave that shimmered in the undulating water, and it was clearly not the light of day. The moment the fishing boat entered the cliff cave, Lin Ziyue's ears sounded with the cold female voice system voice:

"Quest triggered: Patronus of Skebia. ”

But unlike the task announced by the boy's voice before, Lin Ziyue quickly went through the task list in her head, but there was no hint or introduction to this task, only a simple eight-word task name. Lin Ziyue suddenly frowned, this is not the Book of Destiny, it is a task from the main system, but there is no hint, what should I do?

Take it one step at a time?

The uneasiness that poured out just now was even stronger, knowing that this might be a trap for the main system, Lin Ziyue was unwilling to back down. She looked at Blue, and the young man's eyes were still full of piety and sincerity looking back at her, which made Lin Ziyue more and more uncomfortable: "Blue, if something happens later, I hope you are mentally prepared." You're a very smart person, I can feel it, so ......"

"Thank you for the compliment, it's my pleasure. ”

Lin Ziyue slapped her forehead twice in distress, and she didn't know if she would be able to subdue the god in that temple later, and let Blue see all this clearly. As far as the current weirdness is concerned, although Lin Ziyue doesn't think that Blue is possessed by the temple creature, she also feels that he has been bewitched by some kind of extreme bewitchment, and it is likely that his ancestors have been controlled by that creature since the beginning.

The fishing boat passed through the cliff cave, and the sea and sky behind him narrowed, like a mussel shell that was slowly closed, and Lin Ziyue felt that he was being choked by the mussels of the mountain rock, and the abnormal light in front of him became more and more vigorous, and his eyes would be sour after staring straight for a long time. At the end of the cliff cave was a white light, and he couldn't see anything, and the fishing boat slowly moved towards that blank space, Lin Ziyue heard Qian Qiu's breathing become shorter, and saw that Blue's smile became brighter, and Meng Li's eyes began to become gentle and trance-like.

The fishing boat sailed into the white soft light, and Lin Ziyue felt as if she was wrapped in the moonlight, the gentleness like swaddling clothes, like the warm breeze of spring scratching the willow branches, and like the hot tea held in winter. She couldn't help but want to sing, to embrace the light, to be with the light forever, to let the warm light merge with herself.

"Be my messenger and live with me. ”

Lin Ziyue subconsciously opened her mouth, wanting to respond to the warm sound like the warm sun, but a sharp tingling sensation suddenly came from her wrist, as if something was biting her, and she blurted out a painful cry, replacing the promise that had just slid to her mouth.

There was bright red blood flowing out from under Botisi's teeth, and he bit very hard, because the ability of the object that confused Lin Ziyue was too weird, and he was afraid that if he bit too lightly, there would be no way to wake Lin Ziyue. Lin Ziyue's consciousness recovered, and she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately wanted to summon the moon scepter in her hand, but there was no movement, and the uneasiness in her heart completely fell into place.

Botith tightened her wrist and reminded her, "There is a ban here, not only are you weakened, but my body cannot change form and leave your wrist." Meng Li, the little fat man and the young man were all teleported away, and the young man didn't say anything, the situation of Meng Li and the little fat man was not necessarily better than what you are now. ”

Lin Ziyue got up from the beach and looked at the environment: "Meng Li should be fine...... Since you weren't bewitched, he should have woken up soon, but he's definitely going to be trapped......"

The sand was soft, some flakes shimmered in the sun, the temperature here was much higher than outside, and in front of Lin Ziyue was a lush forest, but the feeling of the grass and trees was faintly resistant to her, as if hostile to her presence. Behind Lin Ziyue was a gentle wave, her whole body was wet, after all, she had just been fished out of the water by the waves, the white sea foam was still licking her legs and feet, squeezing out a handful of water from her trouser legs, Lin Ziyue could at least confirm that this was ordinary seawater, and there was no danger such as corrosiveness. The sea is as quiet as a tired bird returning home, and everything seems to be immersed in that gentle and soothing feeling of life. At the end of the wave is a towering and hard stone wall, the top of the stone wall is so high that it has not entered the clouds, and the stone wall is shrouded in a strange and gentle layer of white light, this island is so high and strange, even if there are more stars outside, but how can it be that no one has been here for so long? When I was outside, the island didn't look high, and the cliffs outside looked very steep, but it was far from being as high as going straight up to the clouds.

But when you come in, you come in, that "temple" must be a building, right? Where is it? Lin Ziyue thought so, patted the sand on his body, and stepped into the forest.

Lin Ziyue took a spare thin sword from the storage space, leaving a moon-shaped sword mark on the tallest coconut tree beside him. The things that can still be used in the storage space make Lin Ziyue feel a lot more at ease, which shows that this ban is only aimed at her cane, and it may be more inclined to block the soul power, and the storage space can be used means that there is no causal power like the main system or similar to the manipulation of the monitoring envoys, so she can only be said to be in a predicament rather than a desperate situation at present, at least she doesn't have to worry about her self-protection ability and daily reserves.

Ten minutes after getting up and entering the woods, Lin Ziyue turned out of the edge of the woods and saw the sword marks she had left on a coconut tree on the beach. Lin Ziyue shook her head suspiciously, turned her head and went in again, and sure enough, it didn't take long for her to go around again, it was as if the forest was telling her that the master's house was closed.

Lin Ziyue looked at the woods, this time she closed her eyes and sensed carefully for a moment before walking in, leaving a slight mark on the trunk of each tree she passed, silently counting the trees she passed by in her heart, Lin Ziyue found that there was a sword mark on the trunk that should have been blank when she counted the hundredth tree, but this time she counted more than forty trees and walked out of the woods.

Standing on the coast, Lin Ziyue was a little worried, looking at the calm sea water opposite, she made a few strokes on the beach with her sword before she asked Botisi: "Is there any way to breathe underwater?"

"If I could get bigger, I could swallow you in my stomach, but now I can't. ”

Lin Ziyue didn't complain, but said to Bo Tisi: "Wrap it tightly, don't fall down." ”

Then Lin Ziyue didn't even have time to hesitate, and strode from the water to the mountain wall, the water became deeper and deeper, and the sense of buoyancy became stronger and stronger, and soon it became abnormal, Lin Ziyue once again felt a similar repulsive aura to those plants, and it was stronger than those plants on the shore. She knew that she was thinking correctly, the forest she wanted to enter the island was purely a trick, everything here was to trap her, and exploring the direction below the water here hid the real path. This is a psychological blind spot, and those who see through it can easily see through it, but if they are afraid of the stars, the sea, or the strange mountain wall, and keep going through the staggered roads of the forest, they will only be left with the consequence of exhaustion and decay, either death, or temptation by the voice again. No matter how much supplies you bring, you can't stand the endless consumption here, there is no way to call for help, there are no people or even any living things, and the plants do not have any fruits.

The sea water under Lin Ziyue's feet gradually couldn't reach the bottom, and she had to take out a whole bag of rice, and the moment the rice bag entered the water, the weight sank with Lin Ziyue. Lin Ziyue opened her eyes underwater, and there was only a slight stinging pain in the water, just like ordinary seawater. Having set her mind on herself, Lin Ziyue took out a rope, tied the rice bag to her arm, replaced the long sword in her hand with a dagger, and then used the power of the rice bag to sink downstream.

The situation under the water is not the same as on the shore, the blue of the water is like a thick fog, like the blue dye that has been poured into a vat, Lin Ziyue's vision can only see her fingertips and toes, sometimes when she stretches out her arms because of paddling, she can even see that her fingers are gone, as if they are buried in sand, there is a strange touch.

Lin Ziyue didn't know how long she could hold back, and she planned to immediately cut the rope tied to the rice bag and swim to it as soon as she felt suffocated.

But after about ten seconds of sinking, Lin Ziyue found that something was not right, the big bag of rice actually began to float slowly, and it was actually maintained at the same height as her, she reached out and fished it down twice, obviously there was no obstacle.

The thought flew around, Lin Ziyue immediately made a decision, cut the rope with a knife, and when she continued to swim down, she also kicked on the floating bag to borrow strength. Lin Ziyue's body became a little faster, and the frequency of strokes also accelerated, directly from horizontal to downstream, gradually becoming straight, and the buoyancy that originally hindered her was actually pushing her to walk at this time.

Holding her breath is almost at the limit, Lin Ziyue can feel the chest sinking due to lack of oxygen, although she is paddling harder and harder, but her hands and feet are beginning to soften, because of the long-term diving with her eyes open, her eyes have become red due to the stimulation of the sea water at this time, she simply closed her eyes, and fought the last and only thought to swim up.

Suddenly brightened in front of him, breathing the air on the sea in a big gulp, Lin Ziyue kept spitting out the salty and sour sea water in her mouth, and frantically wiped her face to wipe the sea water, so that her eyes felt better, and she could find her direction as soon as possible.

The moment Lin Ziyue saw the beach, she naturally saw the person lying on the beach with a round belly, and she immediately swam over there quickly with her hands and feet.

It's Qianqiu!
