Chapter 118: The Darkness
Hearing that the housekeeper of the palace said that he knew Yinyang Lake, Chen Yichen stood up excitedly, rushed forward, grabbed his hand, and exclaimed, "Where is it?"
"In. . . Lo level. The housekeeper was frightened when he saw Chen Yichen's reaction so fierce, he had just learned that his own brother had been beaten, and when he saw his reaction, he thought that he would not be able to escape a severe beating.
Chen Yichen consciously lost his temper, stabilized his mind, tried his best to restrain his tone, and said, "Old man, do you know the specific location of Yin Yang Lake?"
"No.. Know. The housekeeper gasped, pulled his hand out of Chen Yichen's hand, shook it gently, and sweat broke out on the tip of his sore nose.
"Butler, do you know or don't know, if you don't know, go and investigate, and if you know, quickly tell Chen Gongzi that he is the prince's honored guest. Liu An also wondered why a person who is usually very clever is stumbling now, and it hurts to dare to be affectionate.
"Master Liu, Gongzi Chen, I have indeed heard of this Yinyang Lake, but I have never been there, and the little ones don't know if they know or not. The housekeeper lowered his head, his eyes kept turning around, and from time to time the corner of his eyes would sneak a look at Chen Yichen and his party.
"Tell me everything you know. Liu An glared at him, and said in his heart that it was too embarrassing for the prince.
"Yes. The housekeeper nodded and said, "The little one has just heard people talk about it, in Luoshui City, more than three hundred miles to the north, that is, in the center of the Luoshui Plain, there is a canyon, which seems to be called the dark secluded, and there is a Hubo in the dark and secluded canyon, which is the Yin Yang Lake." ”
"The darkness of darkness. ”
"Is the Darkness the location of the Yin-Yang Lake?" said Jia Ren, glaring, "I have heard that it is the forbidden land of death, a place abandoned by the gods, and it is said that it is the road to hell. ”
"Yes, there are rumors. The housekeeper seemed to have figured out the destination of several people, and continued: "According to legend, there is a treasure in the Yinyang Lake there, which seems to be a mirror that can see people's past and present lives, this is all hearsay, but there is no way to know whether it is true or false. ”
"What, do you want to go to Yinyang Lake?" Liu An finally figured out the purpose of Chen Yichen's trip, but it didn't matter to him, as long as it didn't involve his master, even if they stabbed the sky and themselves, it didn't matter.
"Yes. Chen Yichen nodded and said solemnly: "I'm going to Yinyang Lake to take out the mirror inside." ”
"Just the four of you?" Liu An looked at the four people in front of him, and said in a wooden manner: "It's already a fluke that you can get to Luoshui City, you know, the further north you go, the colder the weather becomes, let alone three hundred miles, so only a hundred miles to the north, it is already a purgatory on earth, and there is no grass growing a single inch outside a hundred miles, and there is a dead silence." ”
"It's me. Chen Yichen looked at the three people behind him and said to Liu An: "The three of them will stay in Luoshui City for the time being, and I hope that Liu Gongzi will take care of them when it is convenient." ”
"That's fine. ”
"Master, I'll go with you. After the three of them finished speaking in unison, they looked at each other, and said in unison: "We will go with you." ”
"I have made up my mind that you will stay here for two months, and if I do not return after two months, you will go your separate ways. Chen Yichen looked resolute and said: "My cultivation is clear to you, I am not afraid of the cold, if I am alone, it will be much more convenient, if there are more of you, I am afraid I will not have time to take care of it." ”
"We are not afraid of death. ”
"Yes, there is no fear of death. ”
"I have a big scar on my head, and I can still grow this big in 18 years. ”
"Nonsense, it's not a question of whether you die or not. Chen Yichen put on a look of being an old man and said, "I have more important things to help me with after I come back, and during this time, you can help Jia Ren in Luoshui City to find out if you can find news about his younger brother." ”
"Master, keep the two of them here, and I'll accompany you. "Bai Jingyu is imperative. In his opinion, as an iron-blooded disciple, if he chooses to retreat at this time, even if he dies, he will have no shame to face as an ancestor. is alive, and he can't face many brothers and elders.
Without waiting for Chen Yichen to speak, the other two were unhappy at first, and said: "Why, do you think that if you have followed the master for a few days, you will really be a big brother, and you will go together." ”
"Hehe, Chen Gongzi, these servants of yours can be regarded as loyal and courageous, and they are not afraid of death at all, which is really admirable. Liu An's words came from the heart, and he was indeed a little moved.
"Servants are not counted, they are all my brothers. Chen Yichen did not treat them as servants, and even in his heart, there was no concept of disparity in status. Chen Yichen's words came from the bottom of his heart, but it also strengthened the idea of the three of them to follow him.
"It seems that Chen Gongzi is imperative, I don't know what I can serve?"
As soon as Liu An's words fell, he heard Jia Ren say unceremoniously: "For more than 300 miles, we need warm clothes, wine, food, and preferably a big car." ”
"Jia people, don't be rude. Chen Yichen glared at him, and said in his heart that this is not welcome, I came here just to inquire about the location of Yinyang Lake, we are not asking for alms.
"It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about, butler, you go and prepare. After Liu An motioned to the housekeeper to prepare the things to be applied, he turned his eyes to look at Chen Yichen and said, "The prince is afraid that he will wake up in a few days, so it is better for Chen Gongzi to stay in the palace for a few days for the time being, and make detailed plans when the prince wakes up." ”
"You go out first, I have something to discuss with Liu Gongzi. Chen Yichen looked at the other three people, made a look, and the three of them understood, and temporarily went to the guest room under the leadership of the palace servants.
"I don't know what advice Chen Gongzi has?" After everyone retreated, Liu An looked confused.
"That's right. Chen Yichen lowered his voice very low and muttered a few words in Liu An's ear.
"Ah, Chen Gongzi, this is extremely dangerous, and I am afraid that my life will be feared. Liu An frowned, deeply surprised by what Chen Yichen said.
"I have made up my mind, and I hope that Liu Gongzi will keep it secret for the time being. ”
"But if the prince wakes up and knows about this, he will definitely blame the little one for not doing things well, Chen Gongzi has a dangerous way to go, so you might as well think about it again. ”
"Chen someone's matter, how can he give up his life in vain, and hope that Liu Gongzi will be fulfilled. ”
Seeing his resolute face, Liu An raised his eyebrows, sighed, and said, "Alas, okay, I'll go and prepare and leave." ”
The Luoping Palace, the domination of the Luoping Plain, although it cannot be compared with Kyoto, it is also several times stronger than a few people sleeping on the streets. With Chen Yichen's face, Liu An naturally entertained him. In this barren place, you can see your past acquaintances, Liu An's grievances against Chen Yichen have long disappeared without a trace, and the two of them are pushing the cup and changing the lamp, so unkind.
Bai Jingyu is better, after all, he is also a person who has seen the world in the Iron Blood Gate, Jia and Li Jiu are completely different, how can the two of them have the opportunity to come into contact with such a luxurious scene, facing the table full of delicacies, Qiong brewed jade liquid, they have long been immersed in it, and they are very happy.
From late evening to late at night, several people were drunk. The dinner was withdrawn, and someone helped them back to their rooms to rest.
Chen Yichen looked at the backs of the three of them, let out a long breath, turned around and hugged his fists, and said, "Thank you Liu Gongzi for taking care of the three of them, and greet me when the prince wakes up." ”
"Okay, is Chen Gongzi going to leave now?" Seeing him nod, Liu An clenched his fists, "Take care." ”
"Farewell. Chen Yichen turned around and strode out, tiptoe on the ground, and the person flew out in the air.
The moon is in the sky, and the cold wind is howling. A black shadow soared out of the palace, leaving the wind but walking like flying, his toes fell on the ridge of the roof, and after borrowing the strength, he jumped three times and disappeared into the vast moonlight.
