[60] Silent Water Spirit Bead
In order to make Lan Fei less traveling, Dugu Chen took out the map, studied it carefully, and marked the nearest area and assigned it to her, while he went to the edge of Abrolan.
First of all, both of them excluded the villagers' houses, and the places that were often popular at that time were not suitable for the gathering of spiritual energy. Lan Fei prefers the well or the river, but when she walks to the well, she feels that she is stupid.
Water spirit beads are never born in wells, right? Otherwise, people will put a bead in a bucket, so what will the water spirit bead become?
Lan Fei brushed her sideburns, and her brows rose a little anxiously.
"......" I don't know when, there are a few more foxes behind him. Lan Fei realized that there was an unusual gaze watching her from behind, and instantly turned around. found that it was the little guy who kept avoiding himself on the road of Kunlun's trial, and breathed a sigh of relief again, and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." After a pause, "Wait, how did you get out?" β
One of them trembled his little paws, leaned out a little, and said, "We...... We didn't know it, but when we woke up, we found that we could move around. But we can go, and the rest are still in the demon path. Changing the subject, "Actually, we probably know where you're looking for......"
Lan Fei was stunned, she didn't expect them to say this, and she was suddenly surprised: "You know? β
"Hmmm! Although our cultivation is not too high, we were arrested by them and put in the Quenching Demon Dao, but ...... We know so much! The other chimed in.
"Yes, yes, my mother once told us about Tianhuo that if we need to stop it, we need to use the Water Spirit Bead. So sister, you're looking for the Water Spirit Bead, right? The youngest fox was the most daring, and with a sweep of his tail, he curled up at Lan Fei's feet.
Being called by her like this, Lan Fei's heart suddenly softened, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to hold it into her arms and said, "Yes, little guy, you are so smart!" β
The little fox said: "I'm the smartest~" and then said, "Sister, sister, let me tell you, go from here, to-"
"To the east andβ"
"Then turn right and you'll seeβ"
"......" Facing the chirping of the three foxes, Lan Fei had a slight headache, so she took out one hand and pressed the corner of her forehead, sighing, "Don't fight, let's sue me together, okay?" β
The three foxes stopped their voices for a moment, and then said at the same time: "Okay-" paused, "From here, you can see a dry well from the east side of the walkway and turn right, and if you go down from the dry well, you will reach Kunlun Hanyuan!" β
"Kunlun...... Cold source? Lan Fei was puzzled.
The little fox said: "It is the original ice layer of Kunlun Mountain." After a pause, "It's the coldest place in the world, and we estimate that the Water Spirit Bead should be in the cold source." β
Lan Fei was silent for a moment, and said in her heart that what they said was very likely, but I don't know if there will be any danger on the way to such a place. It is not easy for me to walk in my current situation, and if I am still facing the enemy, it is really difficult for a strong man.
Just thinking about it, the little fox in his arms suddenly "squeaked", jumped three feet high, and quickly jumped to the ground. The other two were also instantly stunned, anxious to find a place to hide.
Before she could react, she felt Dugu Chen's aura, and immediately understood why the foxes were suddenly uneasy. Moving faster than thinking, one turned to the comer and said, "I know where the water spirit bead is!" β
Dugu Chen's hand holding the sword paused, and the slaughter in his eyes decreased slightly: "Where?" β
Lan Fei hurriedly pointed to the three foxes and said, "They told me at the source of the dry well. β
The three foxes huddled together and nodded their heads repeatedly.
Dugu Chen frowned again: "They said you would believe it?" They're demons! As soon as the words fell, I saw that Lan Fei wanted to speak and stopped. Realizing that his words might have been a little heavier, he lowered his eyes and said, "The demon's mind is not understandable to people. β
Knowing that arguing with him on this matter was fruitless, Lan Fei bit her lip, and there was a white mark on her lip because of the force. She looked sideways at the three foxes, but she was stunned, and there was nothing in front of her.
"......" Lan Fei was silent.
"Are there any injuries?" Dugu Chen whispered.
"It's okay, I'm ...... Pretty good. β
"Then keep looking." Dugu Chen took Ling Xiao back, and did not forget to advise, "Now that you are a Kunlun disciple, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't get too close to demons." β
"Dugu ......" Lan Fei raised her sleeves slightly to stop him, and stroked her hair again, "What they say is reasonable, Lan Fei believes in their clues, you might as well take a look." β
ββ¦β¦ Amusing! β
"It's not ridiculous." Lan Fei took a few steps forward, "The Water Spirit Beads are nothing more than the convergence of water attribute spiritual energy, and the cold source in their mouths is the earliest ice layer in the Kunlun Mountains, that is, the coldest extreme ice, and the Water Spirit Beads are really likely to be there." After a pause, "Why don't we go and take a look since we have a clue?" It's better than looking around without any hope right now. At this time, we don't care if it's a human or a demon...... Lan Fei felt that there was another credibility in their words, that is, the spread of the heavenly fire would inevitably threaten their survival, and there was no need for them to make up lies. β
The last sentence hit Dugu Chen's heart in an instant.
If the spread of the heavenly fire cannot be controlled, the Six Realms will inevitably be affected by it, and the only way to stop this unprovoked catastrophe is to find the water spirit bead as much as possible.
looked sideways and saw Lan Fei looking at herself with a firm gaze.
"Dugu, give it a try......" her tone was a little cautious.
Finally, Dugu Chen lowered his head and sighed lightly: "Let's go." β
*
According to the path pointed out by the foxes, Dugu Chen and Lan Fei soon found the dry well. It's just that outside the dry well, not only Dugu Chen, but even Lan Yan herself vaguely felt the aura of danger.
"It seems to be ...... down there," Lan Fei flicked her hair slightly, "what." β
Dugu Chen held Ling Xiao in his hand, and without saying more, Lan Fei was also ready.
Although the cloud now belongs to her, she is still not used to using a sword, and maybe the sword will be used in the future - of course, this must not be known to Dugu Chen.
Going down the well, the stone blocks on the wall of the well are concave and convex, which is just suitable for climbing and settling. But the first second Lan Fei stepped on the ground, her heart suddenly shrank.
"Hmm." Her body arched slightly, and she subconsciously covered her heart with her hands.
"Uncomfortable?" Dugu Chen suddenly asked.
ββ¦β¦ I don't know what's going on, I was a little uncomfortable just now, but now it's okay. Lan Fei reluctantly straightened up, half-truths and half-truths. Although her heart was fine at the moment, her whole body was still very uncomfortable from the previous unprepared pain, but there was something else to do at the moment, and she didn't want to delay too much because of her own reasons.
The light in the well was dim, and Dugu Chen couldn't see that Lan Fei was already pale at this moment, and there were fine beads of sweat oozing from the corners of her forehead. But subconsciously, he stretched out his hand to her.
"Hold me." He whispered, unconsciously with a sense of command.
Lan Fei was stunned and followed his outstretched hand and gently walked away. His fingers were slender and skeletal and she could feel them.
Suddenly, he thought that when he first saw his wolf Bèi fall, he also stretched out his hand to her, but at that time he deliberately separated his hand with his sleeve.
When did the two become so familiar?
She didn't know, and he, naturally, didn't realize it.
She hesitated for only a moment, and put her hand completely into his palm.
Half held and half led by him, Lan Fei's mind drifted into the distance without checking it. In fact, the moment she put it in his palm, Dugu Chen also noticed that he was inexplicably a little flustered, and he thought it would be better to withdraw his hand.
It's just that just as a good wine is addictive, once he grasps the softness and delicacy, he immediately accepts it, and doesn't even want to let go.
He also felt that something seemed wrong, but he didn't want to delve into it, after all-
There's nothing wrong with that.
Dugu Chen supported her with one hand and turned slightly sideways, at such an angle, if there was any threat ahead, he could also protect her as soon as possible.
It's just strange, obviously both of them felt the unusual breath in the dry well, but they didn't see anything along the way. But noncommittally, the further you go inside, the lower the temperature becomes.
Lan Fei tugged at the placket with her other hand, but suddenly smelled an indescribable smell. Faint, a little cold, with a little freshness, after inhaling, but I feel cold to the heart, and even the meridians and bones begin to chill.
At this time, Dugu Chen's steps stagnated and stopped.
"......" His lips twitched slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he was silent. But his gaze fell on the corner in front of him, where a faint light spilled through. Lan Fei withdrew her hand from his palm and took a few steps forward.
Then she also understood why Dugu Chen reacted that way.
His cultivation is higher than himself, and he doesn't need the naked eye to perceive the front, but Lan Fei is different. Therefore, when she saw the front completely, she took a deep breath and turned to face Dugu Chen.
It sleeps here...... Kunlun Ice Dragon.
It curled up, but because its head was so big, Lan Fei could only see a little bit of its ice when viewed from the front. The ice body rose and fell slightly with its breathing, and it was in that gap that Lan Fei's attention was instantly attracted by the blue mist in its body.
The instinct told her that it was what they were looking for.
Thinking about it, Dugu Chen also realized this, but the Kunlun Ice Dragon is the patron saint of the Kunlun Mountains, how can he disturb it casually?
But Lan Fei didn't want to give up, bit her lip, and cautiously took a few steps forward.
Dugu Chen stretched out his hand to stop her, but ......
"Huh?" Upon approaching, Lan Fei found something, "It's ...... It looks like it's dead. β
"How so?" Dugu Chen didn't believe it, but Lan Fei was already very close to the Kunlun Ice Dragon, and there was no reason why it was not awake for such a movement.
"I thought it was breathing...... However, its body was only undulating, but its head did not move at all. Lan Fei pointed to the mist, "It seems to be because of it." β
Dugu Chen frowned slightly and walked over there.
After taking a closer look, he looked at Lan Fei again and said, "It's not much different from the water spirit bead contained in the book," but he didn't add much joy to finding the water spirit bead. Hovering his hand beside the Kunlun Ice Dragon, he said again, "I probably know the reason for the shattering of the barrier this time. β
"Why?"
"There are traces of magic on its body, and I think that the last time the heavenly fire spread, the senior Yue used magic to awaken and control it, and the two sides restrained each other." After a pause, "Now that it's dead, no matter how much spiritual power we add to the barrier, it won't help. He also said, "It can also be regarded as heavenly mercy, although the Kunlun Ice Dragon is dead, the cold aura in its body has gathered and become a water spirit bead." β
Lan Fei pursed her lips and said, "Now, take the water spirit bead away?" His voice trembled a little, "Take it ...... Just throw it here? β
was asked by her like this, Dugu Chen was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, "It was born here, and naturally it should sleep here." When we get out, I'll set up an enchantment here so that no one else can bother me, don't you think? β
Lan Fei smiled faintly and said, "Hmm." And again, "Thank you." β
