Chapter 49: A Treasure Within a Treasure
"Moonlight Jade Dew Crystal!" Heng couldn't help but exclaim.
This thing Heng descendant had seen in the library of Mufu at the beginning, and it was included in a book called "Treasure Tongjian", most of the treasures recorded in that book were rare and strange treasures between heaven and earth, and this moon jade dew crystal was naturally one of them!
This kind of spar is naturally bred for the mountains and rivers of the earth, and it is possible to find its traces only in the very deep underground, and the yield is very low, but as long as it is taken out, it is definitely a treasure as the finale of the auction house on any continent in the world!
Its distinguishing feature is that even in a dark environment, without any light source, it can emit a faint blue light on its own, echoing the moonlight on the horizon.
And because its appearance is mostly smooth and transparent, similar to jade, and has the flow characteristics like dew liquid, it is named "moon jade dew crystal".
This kind of spar has a remarkable healing effect, and it also has a miraculous effect on detoxification and daily cultivation, so whenever it appears on the market, it will cause a scramble, and even more in order to seize the treasure, any means will be spared! So it was inevitable that there would be a bloody storm!
But they didn't expect that such a treasure of heaven and earth would appear in such a place, and they happened to find it for them, which was really lucky.
While Heng was excited, he also did not forget to think, recalling the previous time when he visited the Lantern Festival, those voices of discussion - this custom of worshiping "head lamps" has only risen in recent years, saying that it is dedicated to the dragon god. But this King Yan spends so much effort every year, and he sends soldiers who are not shallow in cultivation to guard the lantern until dawn, is it just for a trumped-up legend?
This is unconvincing, and the only plausible explanation is that the Yan King has hidden something under the surface of the lake, and the lanterns on the lake are just a hidden thing to divert people's attention!
Now it seems that what the Yan King has hidden is this moonlight jade dew crystal, which can also explain very well why there is a "head lamp" to be worshiped on the night of the Lantern Festival.
——All because of the peculiar properties of the moonlight jade dew crystal echoing the moonlight, and the day of the Lantern Festival is the largest and brightest time of the year, and this night, the intensity of the moonlight emitted by the spar will also be enhanced to dozens of times the usual! It's also easier to spot.
However, this day is a festival, and visitors often go to the lantern festival until late at night before returning, which will inevitably have the risk of discovering anomalies at the bottom of the lake, so the owner of the spar came up with this method - build a high platform on the lake and send a few soldiers to guard the lanterns there.
In this way, on the one hand, those tourists are afraid to approach the lake again, and on the other hand, even if someone accidentally finds something underwater, the guards will not let him pass!
It's just that this Yan Wang did all the tricks, and in the end, he still let himself and his party pick up the cheap!
Since he has discovered such treasures, how can Heng Descendant let it go, no matter what kind of city lord Yan Wang he is, no one can let him give up what he fancies!
What's more, it's not like they haven't done anything to offend King Yan - his precious son was frozen in the lake by them just now!
Heng Yi had already made up his mind, looked back at Mu Ling with a smile, and then looked at the bottom of the lake below, as if he wanted her to help control the wind above, and he wanted to go down and explore.
Mu Ling rolled her eyes and didn't speak, she agreed.
After Heng received a response, he didn't hesitate, and immediately started to move, and the power of the contract in his palm surged, pressing on the ice, but when he heard a buzz, a huge crimson seal slowly formed from it!
Cheli turned into a ferocious wave of fire that burned on the ice, but saw the lake melt silently.
Under the delicate control of the Constants, the flames opened a path for him to the bottom of the lake. Heng looked at it and took it back. After taking a long breath, the next moment, Heng descended and plunged into the lake!
Heng followed the light source, swam all the way to the bottom of the lake, and looked at the huge spar in front of him up close, Heng realized that the volume of this spar was much larger than they imagined, and what they had seen on the lake before was just the tip of the iceberg!
Heng had only seen the existence of this kind of thing from books before, but he had never actually seen it, and now that this precious spar was in front of his eyes, Heng couldn't help but be a little excited.
I saw that the whole body of this spar was crystal clear, and Heng could even directly see the flow of water behind it. The surface of the hedron emitted a faint blue moonlight, and under the reflection of that light, Heng felt a slight chill all over his body.
Heng tried to flick the water around the hedron, and the unthinkable happened—but the water went straight through the hedron and came out from the other side, sending the whole hedron with a ripple, like a trembling of a huge dewdrop.
But the hedron does not blend in with the surrounding lake, and although anything can pass through it, it cannot be mixed with a single impurity, and the hedron will maintain its own purity.
In fact, it is difficult to say that this is a stone, and all its properties do not fall within the scope of the stone.
Heng didn't dare to touch it easily for a while, after all, he didn't know much about this thing, he just swam around the perimeter of the hedron, and the next moment, I don't know if it was his delusion, he seemed... A red glow was seen coming from the transparent interior of the hedrons.
The Heng steadied and pressed his eyes to the hedron and looked inside to make sure what was inside.
However, for a long time, he didn't notice anything unusual, and at the bottom of the silent lake, Heng Descendant only heard the sound of the water flowing at the bottom of the lake, and nothing else.
Forget it, let's bring this huge spar first, after all, this thing has a lot of benefits for cultivation. Thinking like this, just as the Heng descendant was about to give up observation, suddenly a blood ray pierced from the inside, shooting only the eyes of the Heng descendant!
At that moment, Heng felt the tyrannical breath hidden in that blood, that... Red... It seems to come out of one eye! That's the pupils of a beast!
Shocked by the Constants, he was about to retreat, but an extremely strong force of attraction suddenly emanated from the inside of the hedron, and the Constants' body uncontrollably sank into the liquid hedrons!
Heng faintly felt that he had made a mistake, he should not be curious about going down to the bottom of the lake, let alone disturb the "thing" in this hedron! Maybe inadvertently, he unleashed a demonic existence!
The meridians around Heng's body are running, and he wants to use his strength to get out, but this kind of action has attracted the blood in it! It seems to have sensed his strength!
Seeing that he couldn't get out, Heng was calm, no longer panicking as he had been at the beginning, and no longer driving Qi Li to struggle, allowing the strange suction to pull him to the inner center of the hedr.
He'd like to see what's going on!
The inside of the hedron is also full of liquid, which feels similar to the lake outside, but it is colder, which means that at least the hedron itself is not abnormal.
Heng Yi is determined in his heart, and now it seems that the only uncertain factor is the red light in the center!
As Henders' bodies approached, Descendants were able to see that it was a crimson ball of light, not eyes. And what seems to be in the light cluster......
Heng Descendant suddenly understood something - he had wondered why this Yan King had hidden such a valuable large piece of spar at the bottom of the lake, so he couldn't find a more private place to store it? In that case, it will save so much effort to guard the "headlamp".
Now it seems that King Yan has to place this spar here... Because this moon jade dew crystal is also used to place something! And that thing needs to be preserved in the lake!
What kind of treasure is it that makes the dignified Yan King go to such great trouble to store such a precious treasure?
Heng was a little excited for a moment, and involuntarily stretched out his hand towards the ball of light......
However, at the moment when Heng's palm touched, a shocking change suddenly occurred! A cloud of blood quickly spread, and it immediately covered the horizon's vision, and the horizon's vision was blood-red at the moment!
Although he couldn't see it, the palm of Heng's left hand still firmly grasped the things in the light group! With the touch coming from his hand, the Heng can vaguely discern that... It seems to be... A palm-sized piece of armor!
Heng Shi squeezed hard, it didn't matter if he didn't hold it, under one hand, Heng Shi only felt a violent burning sensation coming! He almost suspected that he was holding a cloud of magma!
Even in the water, Heng Yi felt unbearable pain for a while, and wanted to throw away the things in his hand!
And the terrible temperature was still spreading along the palm of the hand to the forearm. It's not the worst, the point is, Heng is keenly aware that the heat is trying to eat away at his skin, burrowing into the inner chambers, flowing through the meridians of his left hand!
That's kind of scary! No matter how serious the external injuries are, the Constant Descendants will not care too much, and if the foundation of a cultivator like the meridians is damaged, the Constant Descendants' arms will be useless! But I didn't expect the heat emitted by this small piece of armor to be so domineering!
After all, Heng didn't dare to hold on any longer, and he opened his palm and was about to throw away the armor in his hand! He was afraid that even if he finally accepted the armor, it was estimated that he would have to pay the price of an arm, and it would be worth the loss.
However, things were not as simple as he imagined, and the armor piece emitted an extremely strong suction force at this moment, firmly adsorbing on the palm of the Heng Descendant! I can't break free no matter what!
Heng couldn't help but change his face, he didn't expect that he would capsize on such a small piece of dead things!
The temperature from his hands was getting higher and higher, and Heng almost suspected that his entire hand was going to be melted! Just when the Constant Descendants were anxious but helpless, the mutation was reborn!
Suddenly, Heng heard the sound of water surging in his ears, and although Heng Shi's vision was blocked, his ears could hear it very clearly—the water inside the entire hedron was surging in one direction, and that direction was the piece of armor in his hand!
Faintly, it suddenly occurred to Heng that the reason why this armor piece was placed inside the spar was precisely to suppress its tyrannical ferocity, and the things used to suppress it were the "water" in the spar! In other words, this hedron is the nemesis of this thing!
