Chapter 79: Eight Treasures of Merit Mud
There was not much time, and Qi Xiang came to the side of the hill at the bottom of the lake.
Looking at the clumps of aquatic plants, he didn't hesitate at all, and stepped forward directly, and between the light of the tortoiseshell, a bunch of aquatic plants broke instantly, revealing a long and black tunnel mouth.
Speaking of which, in the inheritance memory of the Shui Yuesan people, the condition of the cave at the bottom of the lake back then was not as bad as it is today.
The essence of the water moon is still human, so that they will not be able to survive in the water. The reason why he was able to open a cave in the water was mainly due to the fact that he had mastered a formation, a formation that could avoid water.
He used the Xuanzhu of Taihu Lake to arrange this water avoidance formation in the cave, and when the lake approached the entrance of the cave, he naturally dodged it. In addition, some bamboo pipes that open the checkpoint are extended to the water surface in the hole, and the air circulates naturally.
In this way, the people of Shuiyue Sanren can naturally live in seclusion at the bottom of the lake and be at ease.
But come to think of it, after the death of Shui Yuesan, the formation of the cave at the bottom of the lake, without his care and maintenance, will naturally collapse after a long time.
The lake water invaded the cave, and the Taihu Lake Xuanzhu peeled off, some were eaten by the fish, and some were estimated to have been fished by the fishermen, and then there was the legend of the Taihu Lake Xuanzhu......
Of course, those beads, either, are not the key. What makes Qi Xiang more distressed is that there are still a lot of good things in the cave room of the Shui Yue Sanren. But when it was washed away by the lake, most of those good things were scattered, and only a little bit was left.
Well, even bits and pieces are treasures. Qi Xiang's current goal is those things.
Thinking of the things in the cave, Qi Xiang was in high spirits and went directly into the black tunnel. With the protection of tortoise shells, the mud accumulated in the tunnel was squeezed to both sides at once.
All of a sudden, the clear water of the lake immediately became turbid, making the dark tunnel even more difficult to see.
However, this is not a difficult thing for Qi Xiang. I just followed the tunnel and went all the way in. After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up, and we arrived at the cave.
Qi Xiang walked to the entrance of the cave and had not yet entered.
Unguarded, a column of water rushed to the face, majestic, as if there was a thousand great forces.
"Bang!"
With a bang, Qi Xiang's body couldn't stand at all, and he was directly knocked into the air and smashed on the tunnel behind. Fortunately, under the defense of the tortoiseshell, he was fine, unharmed.
Qi Xiang stood firm, and he could see clearly that it was the big fish that hit him.
The big fish devoured a lot of Taihu Xuanzhu, and more or less opened some wisdom, while using the cave as a nest, the Qi elephant that invaded the cave was naturally regarded as an enemy and launched a fierce attack.
After the collision, the big fish was shocked by the rebound of the tortoise shell, and was also stunned.
After a long while, the big fish recovered, and then opened its mouth to swallow, Qi Xiang could also see clearly outside, only to see a small vortex appear in the cave, and streams of water poured into the belly of the fish.
"Flutter!"
The big fish's belly swelled, and then it opened its mouth and spit out. A ghostly light flickered, and a very sharp water arrow swooped and stabbed towards Qi Xiang.
The water arrows are sharp, flickering and shaking in the water, which is a little scary.
Seeing this, Qi Xiang's eyes froze, and he immediately dodged away. The water arrow grazed beside him, and there was no sound. But when he looked back, he was shocked to find that the tunnel behind him had collapsed, and a large crater had appeared.
"It's definitely a success."
Qi Xiang froze, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
This fish is dangerous and cannot be left ......
With a murderous intent, Qi Xiang walked directly into the cave. The water in the cave is turbid and full of silt, which somewhat interferes with the view. When the muddy mud settled down slightly, he was surprised to find that the big black fish was gone.
Qi Xiang looked around and inspected every corner of the cave, but there was no trace of the big black fish.
"Cunning, actually striking the east and west......"
Qi Xiang laughed at himself, knowing that the big black fish must have taken advantage of the chaos. Make a big move, not to deal with yourself, but to disrupt your vision and take the opportunity to abscond.
"Forget it, I'll go around you first." Qi Xiang thought about it, and had no intention of going out to pursue. After all, as long as the big black fish is still in Taihu Lake, it will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of his hand.
Thinking like this, Qi Xiang's gaze turned and slowly looked at the dilapidated cave.
"Time has passed, things are people, and the vicissitudes of life!"
Qi Xiang sighed, and the movements of his hands were not slow, and he quickly groped around the stone bed and stone table, not letting go of every corner of the cave.
After searching again and again to make sure that there was nothing missing, Qi Xiang was a little happy and a little regretful, and after taking another look at the cave, he left with some bits and pieces.
This trip has not gained much, but it has also been a lot......
Qi Xiang walked outside the cave and slowly floated towards the water. He was in a good mood, and when he looked up and saw the bottom of a small boat, leisurely on the lake, he immediately picked up speed.
"Whoa!"
Qi Xiang surfaced, his palm on the side of the boat, and was about to turn over and climb up.
At that moment, an afterimage struck. Qi Xiang keenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly let go of his hand. I heard a snap, and a willow branch hit the side of the boat, leaving a shallow trace.
"Huh?"
Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, looking strangely, he didn't understand how could there be other people on his ship?
When he saw it, he was stunned for a moment, and saw a woman in a white shirt and a single ponytail sitting on the small boat, whose face could not be seen clearly. She sat on her side in the cabin, her little snow-white hand dangling a soft willow branch.
Qi Xiang looked at it in confusion and immediately realized that he had made a fuss. In the vicinity of this small boat, there is also a lonely and unmanned boat hanging out.
“…… Sorry, I was mistaken. Qi Xiang hurriedly apologized, turned his body in the water, and swam briskly towards his small boat.
After a while, he got on the boat, and couldn't help but look that way, only to see that the boat was already far away.
Qi Xiang frowned and pondered, vaguely feeling familiar.
"Wait, is it ......" Qi Xiang's heart moved, thoughtful. He hurriedly looked up again, only to find that the boat had disappeared from the surface of the lake, and was nowhere to be found.
Qi Xiang thought about it and began to paddle, not to catch up, but to go home. After a night of tossing, when he returned to the manor, it was already dark, and it was a beautiful and sunny day.
The sun is shining, the wind is beautiful, and the flowers and plants of the manor are warm and vibrant.
Qi Xiang sat down in the living room and began to sort out the harvest he had made in the cave last night. The first is the box on the stone bed, which is not locked and very thick. When I opened it, it was a jade pendant, but it had already broken into powder.
Qi Xiang was a little disappointed, but it was expected, which is understandable.
Next to the box, there is a jar.
Qi Xiang inspected it and found that the jar was originally sealed, but the cork stopper also became a little rotten and decayed under the soak of the lake water, and the water seeped into it.
When he opened the jar, he saw that the contents of the jar had been rotted to slag.
Qi Xiang sniffed it, and a very pungent smell emerged in the jar. He felt a little choked and couldn't help but cover his nose and avoid the side.
The contents of the jar should be dansha, and it is a specially made dansa mixture. Unfortunately, these dansas have gone bad, and even if they are re-dried, they will lose their usefulness.
Qi Xiang shook his head, turned his gaze again, and saw another stone box.
The stone box was not covered, and there were layers of silt accumulated, but Qi Xiang was not afraid of dirty, so he directly reached out and dug in the soft mud. After peeling away a shallow layer of silt, pieces of golden yellow were revealed.
This piece of things, Qi Xiang has seen, in the belly of the big fish he caught yesterday, there is such a thing.
He didn't know the details of the thing before, but after getting the inheritance of the Shui Yue Sanren, he naturally knew the origin of the thing and its specific function.
"Eight Treasures Merit Mud, interesting!"
Qi Xiang smiled, something was not so much mud as some special substance. This substance cannot be the main raw material, but it is an excellent auxiliary material.
Mixing the Eight Jewels of Merit Mud with other things will have some strange and wonderful uses. It can be mixed with many things, but the benefits are different, so it is called the Eight Treasures.
Qi Xiang put down the Eight Treasures Merit Clay and picked up a cup next to him.
The thing is very plain, there is no pattern decoration, the bottom is flat, U-shaped, about two inches high. The color of the cup is black and brown, which is the primary color of clay, and the texture is relatively dense and looks unremarkable.
However, Qi Xiang knew very well that this inconspicuous cup was a rare treasure.
Because when making the cup, Shui Yuesanren mixed it with the Eight Treasures Merit Mud, and after he used it regularly, the cup also deteriorated and became very extraordinary.
At this time, Qi Xiang entered the kitchen with the cup, cleaned his hands and the cup, and then carefully filled the cup with water, steaming boiling water.
Boiling water in a cup slowly calmed down.
Qi Xiang looked intently, only to see that the boiling water that had calmed down suddenly made waves at the bottom of the cup. The waves fluctuate and ripple round and round, from bottom to top, making the boiling water vibrate slightly, as if it is about to overflow out of the cup.
But soon, the boiling water in the cup returned to normal, clean and peaceful.
The heat rises, and a trace of fragrance is quietly emanated.
Qi Xiang sniffed lightly, and was surprised......
Qi Xiang was in a certain mood, so he slowly raised the cup, carefully took a sip of the boiling water in the cup, and a clear and thick tea fragrance immediately melted in his mouth, making him feel relaxed and happy, and the aftertaste was endless.
"Tea clay pot!"
At this moment, Qi Xiang is very sure that the tea clay pot in Zhu Shen's mouth must be such a thing. Not only that, maybe the treasure pot in Zhu Shen's house is probably also a relic of the Shui Yue Sanren.
Because the pots and pans in the cave chamber of the Shui Yue Sanren, including pots and cups and other living utensils, are all made of mud mixed with the eight treasures of merit, which is completely different from ordinary mortal things......
