Chapter 30: The Residence of the Lord
That night, Ye Luwu did not rest in his room in the Tempering Fire Hall, but entered the head of the house with Chongguang.
After she had secretly come once when she was a child, Yu Qiu had ordered all her disciples not to approach the master's residence to prevent the senior brother from recuperating from his injuries. And even if someone sneaked into it and was discovered, he severely punished that person for sweeping the entire Lanmen, and he was not allowed to eat until he cleaned it.
Arashimon has a history of 300 years, and during these 300 years, it has undergone countless repairs and expansions, and finally became the current pavilion with layers of buildings. After Yu Qiu became the head of the family, he renovated more than half of the Lanmen, which made it even less like a Jianghu sect, but like a courtyard built here by princes and nobles.
Therefore, it took the disciple three full days to clean such a huge building. After three days without food and hard work, he fell into bed and slept for six hours as soon as he returned to his room. After that, no one dared to set foot in the head of the house without permission.
The soul power in Ye Luwu's body had just been improved, and it was surging in her body like a river and a sea at the moment, as if it was jumping with her. Disturbed by this unusual feeling, she put on her coat, lit a lantern that had not been used for a long time, and carried it out the door.
The head of the house is the most spacious and magnificent courtyard in the Lanmen, and the heads of all generations have lived here.
She walked aimlessly through the night with a lantern, and although the courtyard was now full of dead vines and hay, she could still think of what a beautiful scene it must have been in its heyday.
Just when she had walked around the garden and was about to return, she suddenly felt a surge of spiritual power.
After the double blow of the Jiuhua Heavenly Thunder Array and the death of the Red Cloud Tree, are there still living beings here? Or did someone sneak in?
Ye Luwu was suspicious, so for the sake of safety, he extinguished the lantern in his hand and put it in the open space next to him. Holding your breath, I put my pace to the lightest and walked towards it step by step.
The place where the spiritual power surged was in the deepest part of the entire master's residence, and when she walked in, she found that there was only a mountain wall in front of her, and there was no place to hide. And the spiritual power had become so faint as she approached that it had to be felt very carefully, and it was gone as soon as she stepped on one foot in front of the mountain wall.
She pressed her right hand against the mountain wall, and a cool feeling belonging to the mountain stone penetrated into the palm of her hand.
This is clearly an ordinary mountain stone, how can there be spiritual power in it. Ye Luwu held his forehead with his right hand, presumably because his soul power had improved too quickly, and he was an illusion.
Thinking so, she turned around and left without hesitation, and now the soul power in her body has already subsided, so let's go back and rest.
Just as she had taken more than ten steps, the spiritual power suddenly surged again.
Ye Luwu was shocked in her heart, this surge was very clear, it was clearly coming from the mountain wall! Her eyes lit up, the damage of the Silent Shadow Falling Array was not a long time ago, and there was its guard in the Lanmen, there would not be any unclean creatures stepping into it, especially in the hinterland of the Lanmen, there could be nothing that could threaten her.
She quickly turned back to the rock, reached into the withered vine beside her, and touched a small protruding boulder between her fingers. She tried to press it gently, but there was no response.
Could it be that the method is wrong? Ye Luwu thought for a while, then pinched the small stone with three fingers and slowly rotated.
As expected, after the stone had turned half a circle, the stone wall rumbled and began to separate in two directions, leaving a passage for one person to walk on. She looked around, stretched out her hand and imprinted her soul power on the mountain rock next to her, if she couldn't get out for a while, it would make the senior brother worry, so tell them where she went.
With that done, she flashed into the hallway.
Unexpectedly, this aisle was as cold as winter, and the autumn clothes on her body were a little powerless to resist such severe cold. She complained about why she had broken in so rashly, and walked forward briskly with her arms clenched.
What Ye Luwu didn't expect was that at the end of the aisle, there was a different scene.
A pond sits quietly in the mountain wall, and a cold mist is still shrouded in it. The surrounding mountains and rocks do not know what spiritual things are contained in them, and they emit the light of the moon in the quiet place, reflecting this cold pool as if an immortal once lived here.
It is so cold in the strange passageway, it turns out that there is such a wonderful place in this mountain wall. She endured the cold all over her body and walked towards the cold pool step by step.
Unexpectedly, in this bone-chilling cold pool, there was a small lotus flower with buds waiting to be released, which was so crystal clear that it was swinging by itself.
There is no light here, but it can survive in such a place where there is no sun shining and it is very cold, this is by no means an ordinary lotus, it must be a spiritual creature.
Sure enough, when Ye Luwu was standing next to the cold pool, the spiritual power that Fang had just felt outside the mountain was very clear, and it was constantly changing in strength and weakness, as if he was calling himself forward.
She divided the soul power of her whole body into two parts, one was used to protect her heart and veins from the cold into her body, and the other part was wrapped around her legs, which could have some effect, she thought.
She thought she was completely prepared, but the moment her left foot stepped into the water, a chill that almost froze her soul swept over her body, and her left foot quickly became painful, as if it was about to fall off her ankle.
Ye Luwu clenched two rows of shell-like teeth, lifted her right leg, and stepped into it.
Fortunately, this cold pool can only reach her calf, otherwise even if it is only a few steps away, she doesn't know if she can hold out until she gets close to the lotus plant.
Enduring the stinging pain on his calf, Ye Luwu wasted all his strength to walk to the center of the cold pool, and pinched the lotus flower with a trembling right hand.
The sensation on the fingertips is not the feeling of flower petals, but a very smooth and delicate feeling, just like the legendary beauty skin with congealed skin.
As soon as this idea came out, even she herself was startled, and she almost let go of her fingers pinching the petals.
Just as she was about to move, the blue light in the stone chamber suddenly dimmed, and only the lotus flower in her hand was still emitting a faint light.
The next moment, the temperature of the water in the cold pool began to rise, not the biting cold, but began to become like ordinary pool water, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
The lotus flower left between her fingers, and then the closed petals began to loosen slowly, and in a moment they were all unfolded. There were a few drops of crystal dew on the pink petals, and a tender yellow stamen stood tremblingly among the pink petals, as shy as a girl about to get married.
Ye Luwu was almost immersed in this beauty, she had never imagined that a lotus flower could be so thrilling and intoxicating.
Then a beautiful mist suddenly appeared above the blooming lotus flower, and a small, picturesque girl gradually appeared from it.
Her star-like eyes slowly opened, revealing a big bright smile, and her red lips lightly opened: "Master, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"
Ye Luwu was surprised: "But I am not your master, I have not seen you before today, I can't say that I am your master because I first discovered you." ”
The little girl seemed to recognize Ye Luwu, and said reluctantly: "Since the Yinhua Fairy ascended, I have fallen into a deep sleep. When I woke up again, it was like this, and only this spiritual pool was with me. I've been here alone for so long, how can my master deny me when he sees me!"
Looking at her slightly puffed cheeks due to grievances, Ye Luwu couldn't help but soften her heart, and responded: "Since you have determined that I am your master, then follow me, until I find your true master, I will take care of you for him." It's just that you just mentioned the name of the fairy Yinhua, I don't know if you ever know her?"
Only then did she lose her breath and nodded, "Fairy Yinhua once accompanied me for a while, so she knows it." ”
Ye Luwu looked at her small appearance, and felt a little interesting in her heart: "Then you must have been cultivating for a long time, why are you still like this?"
The girl smiled slyly, and her voice rose: "I was originally a lotus flower that my master picked from the sea of leaves in the warehouse, and then turned into a hairpin to follow the master's side, how could such a long time be worse than the Yinhua Fairy's cultivation? ”
Ye Luwu was a little shocked, she was still a little lucky, it was not bad to have such a cute little flower demon to accompany her. But if this little flower demon has a cultivation that is enough to soar...... How embarrassed was she to listen to this little flower demon calling "master" again and again.
"Since your cultivation is on par with the female fairy Yinhua, why didn't you soar to become an immortal like her, but stayed in the world?"
The flower demon smiled: "Although all things are cultivated for the purpose of becoming immortals, I don't think that becoming an immortal is the first proud thing in the world. ”
With that, her figure then dissolved into the beautiful mist, and then retracted into the petals. The whole lotus plant began to glow brightly, then began to shrink slowly, and finally turned into a small hairpin and stopped in her palm.
With such a delicate hairpin, there is no second one in the world. Ye Luwu sighed lightly in his heart, and inserted this hairpin containing endless spiritual power into his hair.
As she was about to walk out of the stone chamber, she suddenly asked, "You recognize me as your master, but I don't know your name yet." ”
The flower demon's soft voice came spontaneously, surrounding her ears: "The master personally named me Su Ling, just to praise me for my purity and cleverness, how can I forget?"
Ye Luwu slandered, your current cultivation is worth ten times as much as mine, and I don't know why you admit your mistake.
She was helpless, but she only nodded: "Su Ling, once you remember me, you will never forget it, don't worry." ”
When she returned to the aisle as it was, she found that the entrance that she had opened with a mechanism had closed at some point, and she wondered, "How did this door close? It has been more than three hundred years since the Fairy Yinhua ascended, and with your cultivation, you won't even be able to get out of this stone room, right?"
Su Ling's voice carried a little grievance: "I knew early on that the master would come here sooner or later, so I didn't turn into a human form and go out to find the master." From the day I sensed the master's breath, I kept calling out to my master day and night, and this mechanism could only be opened by the master. But since that day, the master's breath has not appeared. ”
Ye Lu knew clearly, presumably this was the time when he sneaked into the master's house to find his senior brother, and he had indeed not set foot here for ten years.
She comforted: "Don't cry, I'm not questioning you, I'm just curious." ”
There was no light in this stone room, and she didn't know how long she had been in, but she was bent on leaving as soon as possible so that she could prepare for the bag to go to the Hundred Ghost Pond.
Unexpectedly, the moment the secret door opened, a strong sunlight suddenly shot in from outside the door, shining on her face.
Ye Luwu had long been accustomed to the dark environment, and as soon as Leng Ding was illuminated by the sun, his eyes closed involuntarily, and he was even shaken to tears.
After she had gotten used to the bright environment, she slowly opened her eyes and looked forward.
It was already dark, and the sun had risen high above the dome. Chenyu was carrying two bags in his hand and stood at the door with Chongguang.
After seeing her come out, Chen Yu threw one of his bags at her, and then summoned the Shui Yi sword and helped Chongguang to sit up.
Ye Luwu hurriedly caught the bag, and also followed behind the Shuiyi sword.
She thought that Chen Yu would ask her where she had gone this night and why there was a secret door behind the master, but he didn't say a word, so he moved his soul power and sent the divine sword Shui Yi into the air.
She finally couldn't help it and asked, "Senior brother, do you know that there is a secret door in that place?"
Chongguang nodded, "I know, it's just that when I was curious when I was young, I didn't have enough spiritual power to open it, and then I thought that it might not be opened by me, so I lost interest." ”
Somehow, Ye Luwu always felt that when he said the words "when I was young", his voice stopped slightly, as if he didn't want to mention it.
At this time, Chen Yu slowly said in front of him: "Okay, there is nothing that he doesn't know about what happened in the head of the house, from the moment you went in last night, we all know what happened later." ”
Ye Luwu was a little surprised, and didn't know what to say. Then I heard his voice coming: "That flower demon has good skills, and it is also beneficial to follow you, at least it can save your little life." ”
Su Ling seemed to have some atmosphere, swaying slightly between her hair.
Ye Luwu smiled dumbly, Chenyu's mouth has never been forgiving, and Su Ling will have to slowly understand it in the future.
