Chapter Forty-Six: The Pool of Ice and Fire
Nalan Lingyun's words made Li Jiancheng excited.
"You mean that the medicine bottle contains Baishan Yanlu?"
Nalan Lingyun bowed slightly, and explained: "Before leaving, Master told me that in the Water Moon Cave Mansion, in the Ice and Fire Pool, you can find the White Mountain Yanlu. ”
"I think that's the pool of ice and fire."
"Ice and Fire!"
Sima Jiu looked in the direction of Nalan Lingyun's finger, and only then did he notice the situation under the crystal stalactite.
Under the crystal stalactite, there is a clear pond, and the radius of the clear pond is about more than a zhang.
That Hongqing Pond is very different from ordinary waterholes.
In the center of Qingtan, on a stone pillar protruding from the water, there is an open medicine bottle-shaped container, the mouth of which is opposite the stalactite stone tip above.
The water on both sides of the pillar is very different, and there seems to be a clear line between them.
On one side of the boundary, the color of the pool is neither green nor blue, neither transparent nor yellow, but like a mirror made of pure steel, which is difficult to fathom.
On the other side of the line, the pool is as hot as freshly baked molten iron, boiling like lava.
"Master said that the two pools of ice and fire are unparalleled in the world, and they may not be able to form a treasure land for thousands of years.
Then, Nalan Lingyun pointed to the crystal stalactites and said, "You see, the crystal stalactites on the Ice and Fire Liangyi Pond, it absorbs the essence of Taibai Mountain, and fuses the extremely hot and cold qi in the Ice and Fire Liangyi Pond, and finally, produces a rare medicine: Baishan Yanlu." ”
Sima Jiu didn't care how Baishan Yanlu came about, all he cared about was how to get Baishan Yanlu as soon as possible, and then leave this dangerous Shuiyue Cave Mansion.
After all, the reason why he came here was only to help Li Jiancheng find Baishan Yanlu and use it to treat Wang Qi.
"Lingyun, did Mr. Miaochun mention how to take out Baishan Yanlu?"
After thinking for a while, Nalan Lingyun shook his head helplessly.
Sima Jiu looked at the two Yi Ponds of ice and fire, and said, "Baishan Yanlu is such a rare medicine, presumably, it is not easy to obtain. ”
"Maybe, you'll encounter some kind of abrasive mechanism."
"Either way, I'm going to take it with me." Li Jiancheng's tone was resolute.
After Sima Jiu pondered for a moment, he made a concise arrangement: "Brother Jiancheng, you and I will go over to get medicine, Xiaomei, Lingyun, you two are waiting for us here." ”
"Brother, I'm going too." While speaking, Sima Ruohua was about to go.
"No way!"
"Little sister, you are here...... Pick us up. Sima Jiu wanted to dissuade the little sister, but he was short of words for a while, so he casually found a reason.
"What's there to deal with? Together, one more person means more strength. ”
Nalan Lingyun was resolute.
Li Jiancheng saw that everyone was arguing, so he said: "Then let's go together, in case the situation changes, everyone can take care of each other." ”
"It's better to build my brother."
"However, everyone needs to be vigilant."
After finishing speaking, Li Jiancheng motioned for everyone to follow him, Sima Jiu was behind Li Jiancheng, and Sima Ruohua and Nalan Lingyun were behind respectively.
Around the Ice and Fire Pool, there are two completely different aura.
The left is cold and the right is warm.
As they got closer to the pool of ice and fire, the heat and cold became more pronounced.
The chill on the left hand side gradually turned into cold, cold as ice.
The warmth on the right hand side turned into a scorching heat, as hot as a furnace.
And between the two, the intersection of hot and cold is the most suitable.
Because of this, Li Jiancheng and the others unconsciously lined up in a row and slowly approached the Ice and Fire Pool.
"Hey, it's cold here, and it's hot on the other side."
Sima Ruohua stretched out his hand to the sides and probed to the sides, and hurriedly withdrew it.
"It is estimated that the closer you get to the Ice and Fire Pool, the more obvious the cold and heat will be."
Subsequently, Sima Jiu took this opportunity to persuade Sima Ruohua and Nalan Lingyun to retreat, so he added: "Later, if you can't resist the cold and heat, you can retreat." ”
"Brother, don't underestimate whether people are good or not, we won't retreat. Is that Sister Lingyun? ”
"Uh-huh!"
Sima Jiu sighed helplessly, "Okay, it's up to you." ”
Perhaps, it was too cautious, Sima Jiu and his party walked forward slowly, walking on thin ice.
At a distance of about two meters from the Ice and Fire Liangyi Pond, just as Li Jiancheng's front feet landed on a small stone slab, a rapid sound of mechanism transmission immediately sounded underground.
When Li Jiancheng heard the news, he just wanted to retract his feet, but in an instant, several strange hand-like mechanisms emerged from the ground, locking the feet of Li Jiancheng and his party firmly, making them unable to move.
Immediately after, a large number of metal mechanisms suddenly rose from the ground, and the mechanisms quickly changed shape.
Soon, in front of Li Jiancheng, a waist-high metal platform that was more than three feet long and horizontal suddenly rose from the ground.
The side of the metal platform facing the ice and fire pool was covered with sharp spear heads glowing with cold light, making it impossible to approach.
On both sides of the metal countertop, two columns of words are engraved.
The art of four-six dominates the world.
Between the ink and the zhang, the ice and fire are eternal.
Under the middle of the metal countertop, the words 'self-interpretation of the tester' are eye-catching.
In the center of the metal table, there is a large square made of small squares of different colors, and on each side of the large square, there are four small squares.
"What's this?"
"Why are you here again!"
Li Jiancheng suddenly secretly screamed that it was not good.
Previously, he had been locked in his feet by a trap and then forced to play a game of Othello against an unseen 'opponent'.
At this point, his feet were locked again, and now, he didn't know what he was going to face.
At the same time that Li Jiancheng was locked by the trap on his feet.
"I'll go, and there will be a ...... again"
Sima Jiu was amazed, and under the eyes of Sima Ruohua and Nalan Lingyun, he was surrounded by many organs and rose in the air, crossed Li Jiancheng's head, and sent him to the edge of the Ice and Fire Pool, and then the organs let him go.
And Sima Ruohua and Nalan Lingyun were both locked by the mechanism and couldn't move.
The mechanisms in the cave hall change so quickly that people can't react.
Soon after, the mechanism stopped moving.
Sima Ruohua greeted eagerly: "Brother! You okay? ”
Sima Jiu hurriedly turned around and responded, "I'm fine, what about you?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that my feet are locked by this strange thing and I can't move."
Nalan Lingyun echoed: "Me too." ”
"Brother Jiancheng, how are you?"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
After confirming that everyone was safe and sound, Sima Jiu said with relief: "As long as the people are okay, we will definitely be able to find a way to unravel these mechanisms." ”
Li Jiancheng pointed to the square in front of him and asked Sima Jiu, "Ninth brother, do you know this?" Somewhat, it seems. ”
Sima Jiu looked at it when he heard the sound, and his eyes fell on the square.
"Eh, this...... Déjà vu. ”
Sima Jiu is more than déjà vu with this.
In his previous life, because of a bet he made with a friend, the bet was to reset the disrupted Rubik's Cube within three days.
Then his tragic fate began.
He was tortured by the Rubik's Cube for three whole days in a row, and he couldn't sleep all night.
Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, and asked curiously: "What is this?" ”
"This cube has a tall name, it's called the Rubik's Cube, and it's a headache."
"Rubik's Cube?"
Li Jiancheng didn't know what to do.
