Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 172 Magical Hanging Bead
After a long time, the two wide wooden doors were so open, but no one or any other living creature came out of the dark doorway.
Hong Xing was horrified in her heart, and grabbed Tie Niu's arm.
Tie Niu grabbed her hand with his backhand, and was about to muster up the courage to ask, but Bai Yang opened his mouth first and shouted: "Who is pretending to be a ghost and where? Come out quickly!"
I heard a burst of "hehe" laughter.
But the laughter didn't come from the doorway, but from behind the crowd.
Several people immediately turned back.
But at this moment, several people were all standing on the side of the bronze mirror facing the doorway, because the bronze mirror blocked the view, and everyone could not see who the person who was laughing "hehe".
Poplar immediately stepped around the bronze mirror, and suddenly saw a man standing at the entrance of the passage they had just entered, as if he had just walked in from that passage.
The man was dressed in an antique robe, with a scholar's crown on his head and a folding fan in his hand.
He looked to be only in his forties, with a handsome face, a handsome demeanor, and a wisp of beard under his chin, which really looked similar to the blue jade statue found in Yunlang City.
"Are you...... Archmage Ao Jian?" Poplar blurted out.
That person probably didn't expect Bai Yang to be able to shout the name of "Ao Jian Grand Master", so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled proudly: "Since you know my name, why don't you quickly kneel down and kowtow?"
The two of them asked and answered, and Tie Niu and the others also walked around from the other side of the mirror.
Tie Niu approached Bai Yang's ear and whispered, "Let's do it directly, what are you talking about?" Don't forget that Old Man Chen reminded us!"
Poplar's heart froze.
But I heard the man smile and say, "Are you trying to kill me?" Then I'm sorry, you don't have this opportunity!"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly raised his sleeve and waved.
The passage was not very wide, and his sleeves were very wide.
Everyone felt the incense blowing in their faces, as if there was some incense hidden in his sleeve.
Bai Yang suddenly remembered something, and was about to tell everyone to hold their breath quickly, when he suddenly heard a "bang" sound behind him, and at the same time, the golden pupil eagle also flew into the air and let out a sharp scream.
Several people didn't know what had happened behind them, so they naturally looked back and looked-
Then, without knowing what was going on, Poplar felt like the sky was spinning, as if his entire body was tied to a rapidly spinning windmill.
But the feeling was only for a moment, and Poplar staggered to his feet, raised his face to see, and he didn't know what was going on in front of him, and it was already a thick fog.
Poplar panicked -
He shouldn't panic, because Ma Daocheng and Ma Daoxian had told them about such an experience before, and he should have stayed calm at this time.
But no, he was obviously sober-minded, but he was very panicked, and he was so frightened that he couldn't think about it carefully.
Fortunately, the black sword had been grasping in his hand, and he immediately grabbed the hilt of the sword and drew the sword out of its sheath, defending left and right, for fear that some demons and monsters would emerge from the dense fog, and shouted loudly: "Lingling! Where are you?"
It's a pity that his shout didn't call out Ding Lingling and Tie Niu, but he heard a strange roar, and then an extremely terrifying demon pounced on him viciously.
It was really a demon, with a green face and fangs, covered in green hair, but a tongue that was scarlet.
The demon had a strange weapon in his hand and smashed it viciously down on the poplar.
Poplar rolled on the ground in fright, dodging its smash, and was about to stab at the demon when suddenly a ray of light came into view.
Poplar Spirits shuddered, and instinctively immediately withdrew the black sword.
The demon was also stunned by the light, and put back the weapon he had raised again.
Immediately following the bright light, the white mist that had originally filled the eyes dissipated cleanly in an instant.
Bai Yang's thinking also became clear at that moment, what kind of demon was in front of him, it was clearly Chen Xiaopang holding a fine steel shovel in both hands, standing beside him.
turned his face to look at the source of the light source, but saw Ding Lingling standing more than ten meters away, her hands in the shape of a hold.
A pearl with dazzling brilliance floated above her palm by emptiness, and even the blazing sunlight above her head could not hide the brilliance of the pearl.
Chen Xiaopang was instantly covered with cold sweat, hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Bai Yang up, and said, "I'm sorry, I really seem to be fascinated by a ghost, I don't know it's you in front of me!"
"It's okay, I'll treat you like a demon too!" Poplar smiled.
Tie Niu and Hongxing were not far from them.
Fang Cai Hongxing shot Tie Niu with a flying knife, but fortunately, Tie Niu was agile and was not shot.
Iron Bull originally had a pistol in his waist, but he didn't think to shoot at all after entering the illusion, and just viciously threw Hongxing to the ground.
Immediately after Ding Lingling, she took out the pearl and woke everyone up, so frightened that Tie Niu hurriedly pulled Hongxing up, and apologized repeatedly.
Hong Xing knew that everyone was fascinated by the illusion, so naturally he would not blame him.
Bai Yang raised his steps and wanted to run towards Ding Lingling, but he felt that his feet were very unsteady, and he couldn't help but look around, and couldn't help blurting out: "My God, we really ...... I've been transferred to the Yellow Desert!"
Chen Xiaopang also looked around, seeing that his eyes were full of yellow sand, he didn't know where he was, and he couldn't help but cry out.
"What's going on? Are we still in the illusion? How can it be...... Is there really such a strange thing happening?"
"This is not an illusion, with this bead, any illusion will be eliminated!" Ding Lingling said, naturally smiling bitterly.
The pearl had floated a few inches above her palm, but as she spoke, the pearl fell naturally, and the light quickly dimmed.
Tie Niu pulled the red apricot and approached Ding Lingling together, and asked, "This bead can't be the thousand-year-old dragon ball that I brought out with Lao Bai in the Crescent Spring Crystal Palace, right?"
Ding Lingling didn't answer immediately, but first took out a small boxy box from her trouser pocket, carefully put the pearl into the box, and then said: "This is indeed the pearl you brought out, but whether it is a thousand-year-old dragon ball or not needs to be verified!"
Iron Bull couldn't help but look at each other with Poplar.
Chu Changjiang also walked over, after he fell into the thick fog, before anyone could attack him, he was awakened by the brilliance emanating from the pearl in Ding Lingling's hand, so he was not frightened in any way.
"What Millennium Dragon Ball? Isn't this a night pearl?" asked Chu Changjiang.
"Where is the night pearl so bright!" Bai Yang, looking at Ding Lingling, "You just said...... Whether this bead is a thousand-year-old dragon ball is yet to be verified, what does it mean?"
"Meaning, this bead is indeed the one you and Tie Niu brought out from the Crescent Spring Crystal Palace, but ......" Ding Lingling pondered for a moment, and then finished speaking, "You should all know that pearls are produced by deep-sea shellfish, so pearls contain a certain amount of organic matter." And this orb, if it's really like the dragon ball you two said, then it should also contain organic matter. But no, after the most sophisticated instrument testing, this bead is purely an inorganic mineral body, but the mineral composition that makes up this bead is very different from the ordinary night pearl, my dad thinks, it is the legendary hanging bead!"
"Hanging beads?"
Several people repeated the sentence in unison, and most of them heard the word "hanging bead" for the first time.
Only Chen Xiaopang was stunned for a moment, and then called out again.
"Hanging pearls? Isn't that another name for the Night Pearl in ancient times?"
"My dad doesn't think so! Ordinary night pearls can't float in the air, but this bead can!"
Ding Lingling said as she opened the wooden box again, took out the beads, put away the wooden box, and held the beads in the palm of her hand.
Then she stared at the bead with both eyes, and she was still engrossed.
Several people all stared at the bead, and were surprised to see that the bead actually slowly floated from Ding Lingling's palm, and the originally dim brilliance became brighter and brighter, and in the end it was like a big light bulb.
"How so? This is amazing, isn't it?" exclaimed.
Ding Lingling exhaled, and waited for the bead to slowly fall back into her palm, and at the same time, the brightness of the light also quickly decreased, and then she said: "It's amazing! My dad once saw a record of hanging beads in an ancient book before, and it is said that hanging beads can make drunk people drunk and crazy people go crazy." My dad did experiments with this bead after he got it, and it proved that it can indeed calm the insane. That's why he asked me to bring this bead to the Black Desert, he thought that this bead was enough to dispel any illusions, but he didn't expect it to be true!"
Several people looked at each other for a while as if they were listening to myths, and Hong Xingcai was stunned and asked, "But just now...... This bead is going to float, what's going on?"
"This is the other most obvious feature of the hanging bead!" Ding Lingling replied, "As long as you hold this bead in the palm of your hand and focus all your thoughts on this bead, this bead seems to be able to sense human thoughts, and it will naturally float and become brighter and brighter!"
