Chapter 55: Crisis

Previous Chapter

The moon on the seventeenth night of the first month was rounder than on the fifteenth hour.

The strange blood red also looks more and more bewitching.

Wu Yu and Wen Tianliu, who rushed back from Kyoto, were taken by Zhong Feng to Master Withered Bamboo's thatched hut.

"I have asked you to come tonight, there is something to do, and it is time to tell you the truth. ”

Withered bamboo looked at a few people kindly, and said with an indifferent smile.

"Master...... Are you okay with your injuries?"

Among the three young people, Wen Tianliu's cultivation was the highest, and he naturally noticed the withered bamboo's complexion for the first time, and it seemed to be very good, without the slightest depression of yesterday's blood spraying.

"Naturally not!"

Withered bamboo said with a calm smile.

“?”

The three of them were stunned.

"I think you must have felt that there are many unreasonable things about letting the three traitors go up the mountain this time. ”

Withered bamboo said slowly.

The three of them nodded.

Even Wu Yu, who sang double reeds with everyone in Mingyue Building during the day, gave a seemingly seamless reason, but in fact, even he felt very strange, and he couldn't completely convince himself until now.

Yesterday, after the three of them entered the mountain, everything seemed too fake.

First, it was already very contrived to let the three of them go all the way to the top of the mountain unimpeded, and then Zhong Feng even took the initiative to admit the existence of Lingquan.

At this point, I'm afraid it's already reached the point where even if they are besieged by everyone present, the three of them must find out where this spiritual spring is.

But who knew that Zhong Feng directly said that he could take three people to visit.

The three of them were not reckless people, and they did hesitate at that time.

But it's really that the power in this Lei Ling Temple is too thin and too shabby.

The three of them didn't pay attention to Zhong Feng and the three young men at all.

Even the three of them might have guessed that they might be ambushed near Lingquan and that strong people such as withered bamboo might appear.

But how could these counteract the attraction of the spiritual spring to them?

If it was just Fattou or the other two, they might have to weigh whether the risk was worth taking.

But when the three of them get together, it can almost be said that they can walk sideways in the entire big moon.

Even if a great master such as the white-eyed monk was present, they all had seventy or eighty percent confidence to retreat.

It was they who chased after Zhong Feng.

Who would have thought that there was no ambush around the spiritual spring at all.

Doesn't this mean that the sheep is in the mouth of the tiger, and there is no return?

As for Master Withered Bamboo's statement that he believed that the three of them would not destroy the Spirit Spring, Wu Yu didn't believe a word.

This old man has not yet been able to raise himself too high.

At every turn, he puts on a posture of serving the country and the people.

Is it that older people know that they will never be sent to the battlefield to fight again, so they like to shout slogans and pose to brush up their presence?

At this time, withered bamboo said that he wanted to tell the truth to the three of them, and even Wu Yu, who didn't like to use his brain the most, was not surprised, just waited quietly.

"The old man deliberately let the three of them go up the mountain. ”

Withered bamboo said slowly.

The three of them nodded, with a look that was really like this.

"And what the old man wants them to do is to destroy that spiritual spring. ”

Withered bamboo spoke again.

“......”

The lips of the three moved slightly, and they wanted to ask why, but remembering the fact that when they got up early this morning, there was an extra spiritual spring in the courtyard out of thin air, and they chose to be silent again.

Isn't that clear enough?

Yesterday the spiritual spring was destroyed, and today a spiritual spring reappeared outside the temple, is there such a coincidence in this world?

What they are wondering about now is what kind of means did this old monk have mastered to lead the disappearing spring to the outside of this courtyard?

"I know you all think it's incredible, but why shouldn't I......?"

Withered bamboo smiled faintly, stood up from the futon, and slowly walked towards the screen on the side.

"Come, I'll take you to meet the one you've been thinking about all night, and let him explain it to you!"

After standing in front of the screen and smiling faintly, he gently pulled it into the screen with his hand, and a special place was slowly presented in front of everyone.

On that screen was a majestic landscape painting.

The painting depicts the beautiful scenery of Mt. Wolsan before the volcanic eruption or earthquake.

This painting has been placed in the withered bamboo room, and everyone has long been accustomed to it, but no one could have imagined that there is something else in it.

What appears at this time is a stone cave.

There are three people in the cave, and they are busy there.

On the stone floor, there are two huge iron tools, which are moving rapidly.

"It's a junior brother!"

Wen Tianliu couldn't help but exclaim.

"Let's go, I'll show you around. ”

Master Withered Bamboo smiled and said to Zhong Feng, "You are guarding outside. ”

"Yes!"

Zhong Feng nodded slightly and stood by the screen.

After explaining, the withered bamboo master raised his feet and walked towards the picture of the stone cave.

"Master...... This treasure ...... It's amazing!"

Wen Tianliu is from Xianling Island, and he is used to seeing all kinds of spiritual treasures when he was a child, but after seeing this landscape painting at this time, he actually hid a teleportation spirit array, and he still couldn't help but admire.

"Let's go!"

Bai Zhanpeng glanced at him, and walked into the painting with Wu Yu in his hand.

The three of them only felt dizzy in their minds for a moment, and when they opened their eyes again, they had already appeared in the air of the stone cave.

On the stone ground, Han Tianyun and Leng Yunxi were looking up at a few people.

"Master!"

Han Tianyun respectfully saluted the withered bamboo that fell to the ground, and then shouted a little excitedly.

"Ask Senior Brother, Wu Yu, oops, it's suffocating me. ”

The next moment, when he saw Bai Zhanpeng on the side, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Oops......! Teacher, are you back?"

"Haha! Sure enough, it's you kid, I know it's you behind the ghost, hahaha......"

Before Tianliu and Bai Zhanpeng could speak, Wu Yu already laughed and slapped Han Tianyun on the shoulder.

"It's me!haha, I'm the one who made everything. ”

This time, Han Tianyun was no longer modest, and admitted with a laugh.

"Your grandfather, didn't you go into the palace to raise flowers for the old woman?

Wu Yu's face was flushed with excitement, his mouth was talking, but his ears were constantly swinging, and the next moment before Han Tianyun could reply, he had already shouted again: "Oops...... I'll just say, if there are any miracles in this world, they are all ghosts, hahaha......"

"Ahem, how do you look like a three-year-old, can you be more mature?"

Leng Yunxi, who had brought a tea tray from the stone ground, frowned and scolded him dissatisfiedly.

"Yo...... Wicked girl, are you fucking hiding here?"

Wu Yu pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "If it weren't for you to speak out, I would have forgotten that you were still alive, haha." ”

"You ......"

Leng Yunxi's hand holding the tea tray shook, and more than ten drops of tea splashed before re-stabilizing the tea tray.

I saw a trace of shame flashing on her face, and after a while, a frost hung on her gentle face, and she coldly rushed past him and carried the tea to the withered bamboo and others.

"Hey, wicked girl?"

Wu Yu was slightly stunned, feeling extremely unaccustomed to Leng Yunxi's behavior of not arguing with him, and couldn't help but turn around and prepare to say something aggressive.

"Master, please use tea, ask Gongzi, Han Gongzi, Teacher Bai, please use tea. ”

Who knew that Leng Yunxi ignored him at all, and walked straight to a few people and asked everyone to drink tea with a stiff face.

"Oh! Thank you. ”

Everyone hurriedly saluted and thanked before picking up the teacups and drinking tea.

"By the way, junior brother, what Wu Yu asked earlier is exactly what we want to ask, when did you come back? Why are you hiding here, what are you doing...... Motors?"

Wen Tianliu took a sip of tea, and also looked at Han Tianyun eagerly and asked.

"Well, that's a long talk, let me take my time. ”

Han Tianyun took a sip of tea and brushed his thoughts, before he began to talk about what happened after he entered the palace.

It turned out that the cold Tianyun was thrown into the dry well by the Queen Mother that day, and he wanted to use his demon spirit blood to unravel the extreme coldness of the Xuanbing Grass.

But in fact, this is just the creation of the crescent moon on the chest of Han Tianyun.

It was a thousand-year-old cultivated Xuanbing grass, and even its ultimate ice attribute, the benefits to the crescent moon were no weaker than the 10,000-year-old blood lingzhi obtained from the mountain behind the Leiling Temple.

Moreover, this Xuanbing Grass already has its own domain skills, and it is much stronger than the original 10,000-year-old blood spirit lucidum.

At that time, Han Tianyun fell into the ice and snow realm of this Xuanbing Grass, and was facing the danger of being frozen into powder by the Xuanbing Grass, thus becoming its nourishment.

For thousands of years, it has been cultivating into a thousand-year-old spirit grass in the dry well of this deep palace.

After all, in this palace, every few days, someone dies inexplicably, and its nourishment has always been sufficient.

Cold Sky Cloud is also used as nourishment by it.

And it also felt that this human being was different from the human that fell into it before, it seemed to contain some special element in its body, and once it was digested, its strength would increase by leaps and bounds again.

This made it eager to swallow the cold clouds into its domain, freezing it with ice to further digest it.

But unfortunately, it encountered the strange existence of the crescent moon.

In its realm, Han Tianyun had the fire poison on his body to save his life, and he had not been able to freeze, but the crescent moon on his chest began to devour this ice and snow world until the realm was completely broken.

This process was extremely long, and it took three days for the crescent moon on Han Tianyun's chest to swallow all the fields of the Xuanbing Grass, and finally even half of its plants were swallowed.

There were only a few sections of fibrous roots left deep in the soil, which were pulled too hard and ended up at the bottom of the well.

In the end, the ice fountain that rose from the well was actually the cold emanating from these fibrous roots that melted into the water and overflowed the surface of the well.

actually let the queen mother swallow and cultivate like a treasure, and cultivate it as diligently.

So why didn't the cold clouds rise from the wellhead?

This has to start with the sudden water coming out of this dry well.

It turned out that the thousand-year-old Xuanbing grass was not born at the bottom of the well, but grew on the wall of the well to the west.

As the crescent moon continued to devour, by the time Han Tianyun completely got rid of the realm, he was far away from the dry well and appeared in a low water hole.

This water hole does not exist.

Because this is the result of the huge taproot of the Xuanbing grass growing in the ground in order to absorb abundant water.

And as the crescent moon cut off the vitality of the Xuanbing Grass, in the process of continuously swallowing up the taproot of the Xuanbing Grass, the cold sky cloud was naturally carried in this unknown underground and headed towards the west.

Until there was a hole in the water that was smaller than a dog's hole.

Thinking that if he turned back, he would only suffer a fatal attack from the Queen Mother, Han Tianyun simply made up his mind to crawl along the water hole.

Later, he discovered that this was a naturally formed underground water cave, which was not only low and narrow, but also strange rocks, and in many places he had to split the cracks in the stones alive to continue his progress.

After crawling in the ditch for about twenty hours, he finally heard the sound of ticking water.

With a lot of excitement in his heart, he climbed to the end and appeared in a natural cave.

The cave stretched diagonally into the belly of the mountain, and it looked like it was far away.

In desperation, he had no choice but to continue to climb forward.

This kind of crawling underground is extremely hard and boring, but fortunately, there is still a crescent moon to rest on cold days.

Whenever he felt anxious and bored, he would return to the crescent moon, eat some elixir, tease the monkeys for a while, and then return to the dark cave to continue walking.

After walking like this for more than ten hours, he finally saw a glimmer of light.

After a moment of rapid walking, he finally began to see the scene in front of him.

It was a cave that opened into the air, and the entrance was not large, allowing only a person to walk out with a low waist.

But when he came to the entrance of the cave, he was directly stunned by the sight in front of him, and he couldn't say a word.

It turned out that he had climbed all the way west from the palace to the west of Moon Mountain, on the cliff outside the Leiling Temple.

And at the entrance of this cave where you can escape, there is a woman.

A woman with crippled limbs and scars all over her face.

The white-eyed monk brought him to visit him, and said that it was his little aunt's woman.

At first, Han Tianyun felt that fate had played a joke on him.

No matter how strange his mind was, he couldn't have imagined that the cave behind this woman was actually connected to the dry well in the imperial garden of the Great Moon Palace.

But after a few moments, he slowly came back to his senses.

Why did the white-eyed monk suddenly lead him here and let him see this woman, I'm afraid it was for the moment when he appeared at the entrance of the cave!

Obviously, the white-eyed monk and the withered bamboo already knew that after entering the Great Moon Palace, they would be taken to the dry well by the Queen Mother to fight against the Xuanbing Grass with his so-called demon spirit blood.

And what even the Queen Mother didn't know was that the white-eyed monk had already known that the taproot of this Xuanbing Grass had always been connected to a cave somewhere in the west of this Moon Mountain, and had arranged a retreat for Han Tianyun in advance.

He had been asked to come here and talk to this woman called Little Aunt for a long time, and his real intention was only to let the two of them meet again, not to scare each other.

In this, the Queen Mother has her own plans, but why don't the white-eyed monks and withered bamboos have?

But self, why is it yourself?

Han Tianyun looked at the woman who couldn't even turn her head back, and fell into deep thought again.

Is it because of the blood of the demon spirit in his body?

But the one who got the benefit this time was obviously the crescent moon!

Returning to the crescent moon to rest, Han Tianyun had already discovered that the crescent moon space had expanded again after devouring the Xuanbing Grass, and even the scorched demon tree was no longer at the edge of the space.

"Could it be that the white-eyed monk already knows about the demon tree?"

A bold guess suddenly popped up in Han Tianyun's heart.

"He is in the same group as the Demon Tree, and all his actions are actually to help the Demon Tree's crescent moon grow?"

Once he thought about it, Han Tianyun felt that this was more likely.

At the beginning, he knew that the sea was shattered, and it was this old monk who gave him a hint to let himself enter the Blood Spirit Prison in the mountain behind the Leiling Temple, and seized the creation of the 10,000-year-old Blood Lingzhi.

"Yes, what was his purpose in using me to save the former crown princess?"

Cold Sky Cloud struck a spirit.

He found that he had never thought about what kind of secret was hidden behind the old monk who used him to save this woman.
