Chapter 56: Fear
The hearts of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu trembled, and they all scolded this Li Mo for being so ignorant, which made Long Yan angry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Duan Mo's face was calm and even a little indifferent, and he said, "Since the Quenching Spirit Pool can't be opened, why didn't you say it before the Heroes Meeting was held?" Holy Lord, where have you left the empire's countless young heroes? ”
The middle-aged man in the dragon robe shook his sleeve robe and said coldly: "Could it be that a marquis, a king, can't be worth a place in the quenching pool?" ”
Duan Mo just smiled, and his voice full of sarcastic laughter echoed in the Jinluan Palace: "What does the prince say to me, what is the point of this group of heroes?" The Starfall royal family has been doing what they say for 500 years, but it is difficult to turn out to be an empty word in the end. ”
The voice echoed, making many people's faces ugly, this kid really can't find death?
The middle-aged man in the dragon robe was expressionless, staring at Duan Mo, who was as sharp as a sword below, the civil and military atmosphere of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to breathe, and Sun Zhong on the side had spiritual power on his fingers.
"Treading ......"
A sound of footsteps sounded from the stairs outside, and someone was stunned, at this early morning, who dared to come in now?
This man was also clothed in armor and armed with a sword.
What a capital offense!
The next moment, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military eyes widened, and immediately dispersed a road, even General Qin Hong was not excluded, and let it aside, and the middle-aged man in the imperial robe standing in front of the dragon chair was also stunned, and then walked down quickly, and said in a deep voice: "Someone!" Give me a seat! ”
There are only two people who can wear armor and swords to go to the Jinluan Palace, and one person is already in the hall today, so now the only one who walks in is Lin Qingtian, who has fought for the Starfall Empire for a lifetime and has been specially named the general of the protector.
"See the Holy One."
As soon as Lin Qingtian wanted to salute, he was held up by the middle-aged man in the imperial robe, and the latter smiled and said: "Old General Lin, you are the general who protects the country, the emperor has long said that you can wear armor and saber and not kneel to anyone." ”
Lin Qingtian got up and said, "Thank you." ”
Lin Qingtian looked around at the civil and military officials, no one dared to look at him, and finally Lin Qingtian looked at the middle-aged man in the imperial robe, and said in a deep voice: "Shengshang, the old ministers in the palace have heard it clearly outside the palace before, dare to ask the Shengshang, which three things were most respected by the emperor during his lifetime?" ”
The middle-aged man in the dragon robe said softly: "Be clear-minded, protect the country, and keep your promises." ”
"Since the Holy Lord promised that the Heroes Association would be the first to have a quota for the Quenching Spirit Pool, how could he lose his trust in the world's heroes?"
Lin Qingtian's voice was low, which made the middle-aged man in the dragon robe look a little gloomy.
"Old General Lin, you don't know, for some reason, the quenching pool has dried up in recent months, it's not that the widow is unwilling, but it's really impossible."
The middle-aged man in the dragon robe explained.
Duan Mo's pupils shrank slightly, and the quenching spirit pool was actually drying up?
Lin Qingtian didn't say anything more, handed the carved and luxurious sheathed big knife in his hand to the middle-aged man in the dragon robe with both hands, and said slowly: "Holy Lord, this is the treasure knife given by the first emperor to the old minister, the name is Ming, the first emperor once told me that if one day I want to unload the burden on my body, I will return this knife to him." ”
"This ...... General Lin, you are ......"
The middle-aged man in the imperial robe changed his face and said hurriedly.
"Shengshang, let's go to the world to see more, the north has become a holy territory for business, all kinds of green forests in the south have risen together, the eastern edge gate unites large and small forces, occupies half of the country, and the western Yujian Zhai is transcendent from the world, ignoring the suffering of the people in the west, the five-hundred-year inheritance of the Starfall Empire is now full of holes."
The Manchu civil and military lowered their heads.
"My granddaughter Lin Xuehan, in Dangui City in the central part of the country, was assassinated by a blood wolf at the foot of this Son of Heaven, if it weren't for Li Mo's rescue, I'm afraid she would be in danger."
Lin Qingtian stuffed the knife in his hand into the hand of the middle-aged man in the imperial robe, pointed at the nose of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and suddenly shouted angrily: "What are you guys doing with the waste that eats every day? You don't know the rogues in the south? Don't you know about the plague in the west? If it weren't for your greed for life and fear of death, how could Shang Sheng be king in the north so quickly? ”
Lin Qingtian took a deep breath, and then arched his hand to the middle-aged man in the dragon robe and said: "Holy Lord, the old minister doesn't want to say anything more, I came here today just to ask for a place in the quenching pool for Li Mo Xiaoyou, in order to repay Li Mo Xiaoyou for saving my granddaughter, and the old minister will retire!" ”
The middle-aged man in the dragon robe watched the old man leave, clutching the knife in his hand tightly, his eyes flickering, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Sun Zhong!" Take Jianfeng Li Mo to the Quenching Spirit Pool, and the rest of the people will retreat from the dynasty without incident! ”
Sun Zhong had a cold face, walked out of the Jinluan Hall with Duan Mo, and bowed down and retreated from the court with the civil and military officials.
The middle-aged man in the dragon robe stood alone in the Jinluan Palace, looked up at the glorious hall, suddenly smiled, shook his head, and said to himself: "What's the matter if there are thousands of holes, 200,000 iron horses are in hand, who in the world dares to commit it?" ”
He stared at the blade in his hand, his smile slowly converged, and then he whispered: "Old General Lin, you are so old, you should have a good rest......
……
Sun Zhong had a cold face, and took Duan Mo through the corridors, and finally came to the deepest courtyard in the palace under countless bright or dark eyes, and when he walked into the courtyard, the scenery in front of him changed, Duan Mo's complexion changed slightly, and there was actually a small valley in the courtyard, which was unheard of.
"The Quenching Pool is in the center of the valley."
Sun Zhong's shrill voice was cold, and he immediately walked out of the courtyard.
Duan Mo didn't care, a touch of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he rushed to the valley below, heading towards the center of the valley, an extremely rich heaven and earth spiritual power filled the valley, Duan Mo just smelled it and felt refreshed.
"It is worthy of being a quenching pool, and it deserves its name."
Duan Mo moved forward quickly, and finally found a pool of water in a dense forest, the dark blue pool water was rippling, looking mysterious, but the water in this pool had obviously dropped a lot, and there was a huge gap between it and the shore.
"I've finally found you, Quenching Pool!"
Duan Mo flipped his hand and took out the black bead and the dark blue wood block, and after waiting for a long time, the black bead and the dark blue wood block did not react, which made Duan Mo frown.
"Let's go down and have a look."
Duan Mo took off his shirt, and a fierce man jumped into the dark blue pool.
Cold.
Refreshing!
The Quenching Spirit Pool has the special effect of refining spiritual power and physical body, it is a treasure that any cultivator dreams of, these quenching spirit water touched Duan Mo's body and quickly drilled into Duan Mo's body, Duan Mo could clearly perceive that his physical body and the spiritual power in his body were transforming at an almost incredible speed.
If he could cultivate for a day with peace of mind, no, it would only take half a day, and Duan Mo would get more benefits than he imagined, but Duan Mo couldn't bear the thoughts in his heart and swam around in the quenching pool, looking for the information that the old beggar said.
Holding the black bead in one hand and the dark blue wooden card in the other, Duan Mo's body was covered with demonic spiritual power, and he used all the things related to the black beads, but he just didn't find anything unusual.
"By the way, what the old beggar said is that there is the same text at the bottom of the quenching pool as on the black bead."
Duan Mo's mind moved, and he immediately dived down, and the dark blue lake began to turn dark blue, and finally slowly changed color, turning black, and everywhere was pitch black.
"How deep is this quenching pool?"
Duan Mo was a little worried, he couldn't stay underwater for a long time, he had been diving for three or four minutes, and he had dived two or three hundred meters, but he hadn't reached the end yet?
The saying that this quenching pool is depleted is not worthy of its name, such a deep pool, if you want to wait until it is exhausted, you have to wait until when you go.
The surrounding pool water had become as black as ink, Duan Mo couldn't see his five fingers, under this dark hand, suddenly, his heart jumped suddenly, for some reason, there was a trace of fear in his heart.
Boundless darkness.
The purity of black, that is a kind of black that can make people sink, deep and with a hint of fear.
"No, this quenching pool can't be so deep!"
Duan Mo's face became extremely ugly, and a cold feeling spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he faintly noticed that the water around him was flowing rapidly, no, it was agitation.
"No, we need to get out of here."
The sense of fear that came from nowhere in Duan Mo's heart became more and more intense, he couldn't see anything, the endless darkness, and he was already lost here.
The next moment, Duan Mo's ankle was grabbed by a hand, Duan Mo's face was shocked, and when he looked down, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything at all, but the feeling from his body made him clearly know that there was something with five fingers that was dragging him deeper into the water.
"Let go of me!"
Duan Mo was extremely frightened, and kicked down with his other foot, but there was nothing, but the feeling of falling and being caught was still there.
Duan Mo's other foot was suddenly grabbed by the palm of his hand, although Duan Mo couldn't see anything, he could clearly perceive that under his feet, there were two things with five fingers, unknown of shape, dragging him down at a rapid speed, and dragged him under the dark water where there was no end.
Below is like an abyss, which will never reach the end.
A feeling of suffocation appeared in Duan Mo's heart, and he understood that he had begun to lack oxygen.
"What the hell is it?"
Duan Mo was frightened, struggling desperately, but it was of no use at all, the two things below were infinitely powerful and terrifying.
The unknown is the most terrifying, even a slight glimmer of light can make Duan Mo feel at ease, but there is no light at all, it is pitch black, the black is terrifying, Duan Mo can't even see his hand close at hand!
"What should I do?"
Duan Mo's limbs gradually became weak, his desperate struggle was ineffective, in vain, the feeling of lack of oxygen became heavier and heavier, his mouth opened unconsciously, and the pool water poured into his mouth.
Fear was like a big hand, tightly capturing Duan Mo's heart.
A few hundred meters?
How many kilometers?
Or maybe it's already 10,000 meters.
Duan Mo no longer knew how deep the water he had been dragged to, he only knew that he was dying.
In this quenching pool, this almost weird and terrifying thing happened.
"What's going on?!"
Duan Mo wanted to shout, wanted to roar, but his mouth opened, and it was full of pool water.
Just when Duan Mo's consciousness began to gradually blur, an extremely dazzling black light burst out from the black bead on Duan Mo's hand, that kind of blackness, even beyond the darkness here.
In the darkness, there was a black glow!
"That's ......"
Duan Mo looked at the surroundings that were expelled, the feeling of being dragged down disappeared, and his body quickly floated up, quickly, unbelievably fast, he rushed out of the water almost in a second, from the thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters of pool water out of the water.
"Whirring ......"
Duan Mo climbed onto the shore with his hands and feet, lying on the grass and breathing in the air, still having palpitations.
Duan Mo, who had recovered a lot, looked at the pool of faint blue water, and feared in his heart, he gritted his teeth, his eyes were cloudy, what was going on with this quenching pool, how could it be so deep.
"Impossible...... I don't believe this quenching pool is so deep! It must be weird! ”
Duan Mo gritted his teeth, forcibly expelled the fear in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and then jumped into the quenching pool again, swimming downward.
It was the same scene again, when the dark blue lake around him gradually turned black, the darkness enveloped everything, and fear resurfaced in Duan Mo's heart.
"If you have the ability, drag Lao Tzu down!"
Duan Mo gritted his teeth to expel the fear in his heart, and the next moment, two more palms grabbed Duan Mo's feet and dragged them down desperately.
This time, Duan Mo could still clearly perceive that the thing had slowly climbed up along his ankle, Duan Mo's hair exploded all over his body, and his eyes were full of horror.
"No, no! Fake! Absolutely fake! ”
Duan Mo forcibly calmed himself, closed his eyes, folded his hands, and let the thing pounce on him, sharp nails cutting across his body.
The feeling of suffocation hit Duan Mo's mind, and Duan Mo held on, leaving him alone, and doing his best to relax his body.
