Chapter 362: Blue Light River
In terms of seniority, Shangguan Dianyu is more suitable for the Acting Palace to oversee the country than Shangguan Mingluo, and Dianyu is a few years older than those children, and calmness and stability are his advantages, if it is in a peaceful year, Murong Yu will definitely choose him. However, in this chaotic matter, Shangguan Mingluo's strain genius is even more important.
Murong Yu sent someone to urgently recruit Shangguan Mingluo back from the Xihua Kingdom eight hundred miles away, and personally awarded him the seal of the country and the seal of the palace master.
The second elder leaned into the fifth elder's ear and whispered, "It seems that most of the palace master has the intention to pass on the throne to Xiao Luozi." β
The five elders also had the same idea, "None of the palace masters of the Zhantian Palace can honestly stay in the position of the palace master and die a righteous death! This can also be regarded as a tradition of our Zhantian Palace, starting from the first person palace master, which one is either affectionate and righteous or irresponsible? You said that if it is true that his Dutch family is full of love in his bones, it is just that, we can't tell the bloodline, but for thousands of years, how many people have been given to this throne by the 'Helan' clan? Calling the palace master of Zhantian Palace Helan to the outside world, in fact, he didn't know what to call it for a long time!
The second elder sighed, "Not really, but, to be honest, Xiao Yu was able to endure the position of palace master for so many years, which was really beyond my expectations." If she really wants to leave, I will never stop her!"
The fifth elder also nodded, "Let's go, let's go! After so many years, I have wronged this child!"
The two of them didn't care, but the Great Elder watched his grandson take over the national seal, but his heart was half happy and half worried. I am glad that my grandson can be appreciated by the palace master, which is a great honor, but the sad thing is that Mingluo is just a fledgling hairy boy, in this troubled autumn, can he really take on such a heavy responsibility?
In the early morning of the second day, Murong Yu, An Shuli, and Nangong Qingye gathered at the bottom of Fengqi Mountain. Murong Yu looked back at the Zhantian Palace, which had been covered by clouds and mist, the palace that had made her give up everything for her, but she had finally abandoned it.
"Let's go. Murong Yu turned his horse's head and galloped out first. An Shuli sighed and chased after him. If Nangong Qingye is the person she loves the most in her life, then Murong Yu must be the one she is most grateful for, the most guilty, and the one she can't give up. She owes her so much!
The three of them galloped on the road for a long time, Murong Yu squinted her eyes and saw a few figures in front of her, she grabbed the reins, let the horse stop, and silently looked at the five people blocking the middle of the road, her eyes were sharp.
It was Nangong Qingye who opened his mouth first, "Father, brother, why are you here?"
"Naturally, I'm waiting for you to leave together!" Nangong Qingtian ran to Murong Yu's side with a grin, "Xiaoyu, why didn't you tell me and leave first! I thought you left me again, I'm so sad!"
Murong Yu glanced at his scoundrel appearance and turned his head away and remained silent, now even she couldn't understand that she had fallen in love with this guy so much in the first place, it was so embarrassing!
These five people are the three people of Nangong Yu, Nangong Qingtian and the Lan family.
"Brother Huang, we're not here to play. Nangong Qingye reluctantly interrupted Nangong Qingtian.
Nangong Qingtian was also not happy, "Xiao Jiu, I don't like to hear what you say, brother! What do you mean that you are not going to play, am I just running to play with you? I look so unreliable?"
Everyone, including the three members of the Lan family and Nangong Yu who came with him, looked at him and nodded together.
"Ahem!" Nangong Qingtian coughed lightly twice and muttered in a low voice, "Anyway, I'm also the king of a country, can't I give some face?"
"This is a realm beyond the sky, and the road ahead is dangerous. Brother Huang, have you ever thought that if you have three longs and two shorts, what should you do with Nanchu? Do you want to ignore the tens of millions of people in Nanchu?" Nangong Qingye moved with affection and reason, and only hoped that Nangong Qingye could be persuaded to go back and not to wade into this troubled water.
Nangong Qingtian raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "How long have you not cared about the affairs of Nanchu? As early as a month ago, I had already passed the throne to Ah Ling, Lao Tzu is now the emperor! State affairs are not in my charge!" He stretched out his hand to hug Murong Yu, "Now for me, Xiao Yu is all I have, I will go wherever she goes! I will die with her! Xiao Yu, we can't lie down together in life, and we must sleep in the same cave when we die!"
Murong Yu took two steps forward to dodge Nangong Qingtian's arm, and said mercilessly, "My mausoleum has already been built, and the two ear chambers have been given to Xiaoli and Xiaoyan, there is no place for you!"
"It's okay, I'll just carry a thin coffin and put it next to you!" Nangong Qingtian said cheekily. "Otherwise, sweep it with grass, roll it, and make it, I won't pick these!"
An Shuli interjected, "Wouldn't that break the feng shui? This is not a joke, it is easy to cheat the corpse!"
Murong Yu also nodded, "Bad Feng Shui!"
"Okay!" Nangong Yu interrupted Nangong Qingtian, who was still about to defend, "It's important to get down to business." β
Lan Jun nodded, "Well, we know that you want to enter the path to heaven from the outer realm. However, the Outer Heaven Realm could only leave the Zhantian Continent, and the real entrance to the Heavenly Road was on the Immortal Island. The Lan family has guarded Immortal Island for generations, but it is our territory, how can you get by without your master?"
An Shuli looked at him with suspicion, "Aren't you trapped on the Zhantian Continent and can't go back?" "They can't help them themselves, can they still help them?" "You actually just want to take this opportunity to return to Immortal Island!"
Lan Yi and Lan Jun nodded at the same time, they naturally wanted to go back. "The way to Immortal Island, after all, we are more familiar than you, you help us open up the realm of the outer world, and we help you guide the way. You won't refuse such a win-win fact, right?"
Murong Yu looked at Nangong Yu, "Then what are you going to do, don't tell me, you have to go home too." β
"Xiao Yue was locked up outside the Zhantian Continent by Lan Xi, it is very likely that she has returned to Immortal Island, I want to find out. "Nangong Yu has been able to hold on until now, just to see Lan Yue, even if there is only a little hope, he is not willing to let go.
Murong Yu was silent for a moment, she flicked the reins and rushed out, "Then follow quickly! Feng'er won't remember to wait for us!"
Don't talk about them, Murong Lingfeng may not even remember what she ate for dinner at this time! She hugged Xuanyi's neck, her eyes wide, and she looked at the entrance of the cave with a confused expression, obviously waking up in her sleep, "What...... What's wrong? There's an earthquake?"
Li Sheng stood up calmly, straightened out his red gauze clothes, and dusted off the slag that fell on his hair, "Are you stupid to sleep? This is the realm of the outer heavens, the territory of the stone people, and there are stone people guarding it, how can it be an earthquake? Wake up and take a nap, and see what keeps hitting the entrance of the cave!"
Murong Lingfeng rubbed his eyes and calmed down to take a look, it turned out that it was not the earthquake that caused the sand to fly in the cave, but a huge stone figure blocking the entrance of the cave, knocking the ground. Murong Lingfeng hugged Xuanyi tightly, barely stabilizing his body. "What's the difference between this and an earthquake?" she glanced at Lisheng, who was completely unaffected, "What did you do?"
Li Sheng stepped on the air under his feet, "It's just a little trick to resist the wind, you can do it." β
Their little corner is quite relaxed, but the stone people are extremely nervous.
Several young stone figures hid behind Su Liqing and looked at the entrance of the cave in fear, "Brother Qing, what should we do?"
"Don't be afraid," Su Liqing stroked the children's hair as calmly as possible, "Didn't we dig through the secret passage before, now is the time to put it to use! Da Chen, you are the oldest, you take your younger brothers and sisters to the secret passage first." β
"What about you, Brother Qing?" Da Chen asked uneasily.
"Someone has to activate the mechanism at the entrance of the cave. Don't worry, you go first, and I'll follow!" Su Liqing patted Da Chen on the shoulder and encouraged him, "The younger brothers and sisters will be handed over to you! You must take care of them and don't let Brother Qing down!"
Da Chen nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Brother Qing!
Su Liqing watched the young stone people line up into the secret passage under the leadership of Da Chen, and his heart was half relieved, they were fine, and they were the hope of the stone people.
"Cheating on a child is not a commendable act. Su Liqing just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but heard the voice of the little boy coming from behind.
He turned around and faced them with a forced smile, "It's too dangerous here, please leave as soon as possible." This secret passage leads to the empty field in the suburbs, and after the secret passage was dug through, I walked many times with Dachen, and he recognized the way. Go with him!"
Murong Lingfeng didn't follow his words, "The mechanisms here are all linked, and once they are opened, the entrance of the secret passage will be blocked first." So how are you going to get out? Dig another one?"
Su Liqing lowered his head and sighed slightly, "In war, there is always sacrifice. β
Murong Lingfeng sneered, "You also call it war, I'm afraid that in the eyes of the other party, it is just tickling them." Such a senseless sacrifice, I will not agree with it anyway. β
While speaking, a big stone fell from the top of the cave and smashed in front of Murong Lingfeng, and Li Shengyan quickly dragged her, but the big stone did not hurt her, but it scared Su Liqing.
He ran over and pushed the little boy and a few people into the secret passage, "Childe, now is not the time to talk about this. If you don't leave, it's too late!"
At the entrance of the secret passage, Murong Lingfeng pulled Su Liqing's arm hard, Xuanyi added strength behind him, and one man and one tiger worked together to throw Su Liqing into the secret passage. Li Sheng stood behind them, waved his sleeves, and in an instant, huge stones rolled towards the entrance of the secret passage, sealing the secret passage tightly. At the same time, the mechanism was activated, the earth shook, flames burst out, and what had been a peaceful cave before turned into a sea of fire in an instant. The stone men and beasts that attacked the cave did not have time to flee before they were swallowed by the flames.
Although everyone hid in the secret passage, they escaped the burning of the fire, but it was not much better. The violent shaking made them unable to control their bodies in the secret passage, and they could only try their best to grasp the objects around them and try not to be hurt. Murong Lingfeng hid under Xuanyi's belly and escaped a catastrophe.
It was only when the shaking had completely ceased that she crawled out from under the white tiger's heavy fur. The little stone people were all leaning against the stone wall and panting, looking frightened. Even Li Sheng was a little embarrassed at the moment, he stretched his limbs and posed in a 'big' shape, lying on the ground as if he hadn't recovered yet.
Murong Lingfeng crawled towards Lisheng, and the moment she looked up, she saw a few bits of blue light flashing in the distance.
"You saw that too?" said Lisheng softly as he lay on the ground.
The little boy nodded, "What's that?"
"I don't know," Li Sheng glanced at the little stone people who had not yet recovered, quietly got up, and pulled down the sleeve of the little boy, "Do you want to go and see?"
The two of them walked towards the direction of the blue light with the white tiger touching the black.
At first, Murong Lingfeng thought it was just a sapphire inlaid on the stone wall, but when she walked over, she found that the little blue light she saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
Murong Lingfeng covered her mouth with her hands, she didn't know what words to use to describe the scene in front of her, "It's so beautiful!" All the praise seemed so pale at this moment.
Who would have thought that there was such a beautiful river hidden under the black hole. The river is wide and the water is crystal clear, and from time to time there are schools of fish swimming by and swinging their tails leisurely. But none of this could attract the little boy's attention, her eyes had already been filled with the crystal clear sapphires that covered the bottom of the river, and she had no time to see anything else.
The gem shimmered blue, turning the river blue, and it followed the river like a dragon sleeping at the bottom of the river.
"Have we found a treasure?" asked Murong Ling with a smile.
Li Sheng didn't answer her question, just frownedβthe gem was beautiful, but what was the familiarity that this piece of aquamarine gave him?" "Where should I have seen it, but why can't I remember it?" Could it be that I am really old and starting to forget?"
The two of them looked intently at the bright gems at the bottom of the river, and no one noticed that the spirit of the sea hidden in Murong Lingfeng's clothes was also flashing with a faint light at this moment.
"How did you get here?"
A few people turned around, only to see Su Liqing running over with a torch, "Why are you still running around in the dark, aren't you afraid of getting lost? What if you really get lost?"
Murong Lingfeng looked at him with a smile, "Where is it dark?" it is obviously ...... here" She wanted to point out this blue light river to Su Liqing, but turned her head and found that there was any sapphire there, and there was darkness in front of her, and there was no light at all.
Murong Lingfeng frowned in confusion, "How could this be......?
Su Liqing held the torch and shone it, the firelight reflected the river in front of him, he saw the river gasp, pulled the little boy's sleeve and hurriedly retreated, "Hurry up, hurry up! Why did you get to the dead river?!"
