Chapter Eighty-Three: Ice Spirit Gentian, a thousand-year covenant
After the fusion of the two souls and the absorption of the immortal qi in the jade extract, Qin Lan's soul mutated and was able to predict the future.
She clamored to go to the Emperor's Mausoleum to find me, something important must happen.
I took off my coat and wrapped it around my waist, and then I stepped out of hiding, crouched down and asked, "Did you predict anything again?" ”
Qin Lan bit his lip tightly and looked away angrily.
Helpless, I could only soften my tone, "Tell Dad, why did you come here in a hurry?" ”
"I saw something about that woman of yours!" Qin Lan pointed in the direction Murong Changqing left, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, "I don't like her!" ”
Really......
In the two souls fused together, "Qin Lan", as the president of the Qin Foundation, has a particularly deep obsession with me.
In addition, "Qin Lan", who is the leader of the ad hoc research group, also has a good impression of me.
The instinct generated by the fusion of these two souls seems to have crossed the level of mere intimacy.
Therefore, when he predicted that I might have a relationship with Murong Changqing, Qin Lan was extremely restless.
In order to prevent this feeling from continuing, I pressed Qin Lan's shoulder and said with a solemn expression, "I am not your father, and I have no blood relationship with you, can you understand?" ”
"Understood!" Qin Lan nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Fortunately, Qin Lan is not a real child, and he already has some ability to judge right from wrong.
Without waiting for me to breathe a sigh of relief, Qin Lan continued, "Mom told me everything. She's my real mother, but you're not my dad! I was the child she cuckolded you and gave birth to another man. ”
"She also said that you are not a good thing, and she wants me to stay away from you."
Qin Yin, this bastard, really dares to teach anything!
However, it doesn't have much impact, and it's a good thing to let Qin Lan and me get some distance.
Qin Lan said with some grievances, "But even so, I still want to call you Dad." ”
"Nope."
As soon as I finished speaking, Qin Lan pursed his mouth, and tears were already rolling in his eyes.
Qin Fugui next to him hurriedly dissuaded, "Master Li, you can let her call whatever she likes!" This girl cried, and ten cows couldn't pull it! ”
I said, "Your life was given by a drop of my soul blood. Your soul is even more preserved by me with immortal jade. ”
"You don't understand it now, but just remember one thing. The kindness I have given you is not the grace of the Father. ”
"If you insist on being called Father, and now you kowtow three times to worship the Master, you can call me Master."
Qin Lan was in the fog of what he said, scratched his head and asked, "What is Master?" ”
Qin Fugui explained with a wry smile, "Anyway, they all bring a father, which is similar to a father." It's just that after kowtowing, you have to learn from Master Li. ”
"Okay."
After answering in a milky voice, Qin Lan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me three times, and called out respectfully, "Master." ”
I nodded in response, but my thoughts were a little dazed......
For as long as I can remember, I've been learning from my grandfather. If you talk about kindness, my grandfather has both nurturing grace and mentoring grace for me.
But who are my parents?
What did they do that led me to be imprisoned in a stone tomb that was so wicked and obscured from heaven and earth?
Just as I was shaking my head, Qin Fugui let out a puff without paying attention and fell into the mirror lake.
"Help!"
Qin Fugui couldn't swim, he was fluttering indiscriminately but couldn't catch the shore, plus the mirror lake was full of water, and there was an undercurrent below that extended to the direction of the cliff.
Fortunately, Qin Lan's eyes were quick and he stretched out the handle of the umbrella.
Qin Fugui grabbed the umbrella, twisted his fat body with difficulty and climbed ashore, coughed up a few mouthfuls of water and said, "Thank you for your life-saving grace." ”
Qin Lan wiped his umbrella handle in disgust and ignored it.
Qin Fugui muttered to himself, "This water is too evil, black as a mirror......"
I subconsciously replied, "Mirror Lake, isn't it like a mirror?" ”
Wait, Mirror Lake!?
The mountains turn red, the water turns black, and the sky turns upside down...... I know!
There has always been a misunderstanding in my thinking, thinking that "Tianshui Reversal" is some kind of formation, or spell decision, but in fact it is definitely not so complicated!
After the water of Mirror Lake contains too much black leyline material, the water surface has become extremely stable due to geomagnetism, and even if the wind blows, it will not bring the slightest ripple.
The heavens and the earth are gloomy and dark, and the water surface reflects the celestial phenomena, which is also the so-called reversal of the heavens and waters!
In order to verify my guess, I immediately asked Qin Fugui, "Is there a strong rope on the car?" ”
"There's hemp rope for tents, and it's okay, and sometimes trailers use that stuff."
"Give it to me immediately!"
Qin Fugui carried the hemp rope and dragged it easy to walk in front of me. I tied one end to the old tree next to me, and the other to my waist.
In the mirror lake, which is rich in minerals and geomagnetically disordered, I may not be able to swim up on my own, and this rope is the final guarantee.
Before entering the water, I handed the rope to Qin Fugui and said in a condensed voice, "If there is a critical situation, I will pull the rope three times in a row, and you have to pull me up immediately!" ”
"I ...... I know. ”
Qin Fugui's hands trembled a little, and he nodded in a daze.
Although this guy looks unreliable, he is also a middle-aged man, so he can't even carry a rope.
After the explanation was completed, I hugged a rock and jumped off the mirror lake.
The moment the cold lake water soaked my whole body, even I couldn't help but shiver.
The leyline minerals contained in the lake water absorb the yin energy from the ground, and the temperature is terrifyingly low. If you dive below five meters by another person, I am afraid that it will freeze directly into an ice lump.
I dived a full seven meters along the vertical direction of the entrance to the imperial tomb above the stone wall.
Fortunately, my eyes can break through delusion, otherwise I would be completely blind under the dark water!
At a distance of seven meters, there was still only a bare stone wall, and I was about to continue diving, when I suddenly saw the bottom of the lake, gushing out of the most yin and cold power!
And while feeling the yin qi, there is also an incomparably holy breath, which is very similar to the earth Jiao raised by Qin Yin before, but it is even stronger than the breath of the earth jiao!
Oh no, there's a dragon hidden at the bottom of this lake!
This dragon is obviously an old dragon, which can hide its aura well and fall into a perennial dormant state.
If I don't dive here, it won't wake up and let out its breath.
The last time I dealt with an earth Jiao who hadn't yet become a dragon, I used the things of a saint to barely kill it! This time underwater, I don't have such a skill!
At the moment, where do I care about the entrance to the emperor's mausoleum, and hurriedly pull the rope frantically.
What I didn't expect was that after the rope froze in the water, it became extremely fragile and broke into two with a slight break.
I wanted to grab the broken half of the rope, but Qin Fugui was crazy about pulling the rope without a brain, and he didn't notice that the weight was wrong.
Even though I tried all my strength to swim upward, my body still fell rapidly......
10 meters, 20 meters, 50 meters...... One hundred meters!
Even if my Dao heart was as calm as a rock, the moment I stood a hundred meters below and on the smooth rock at the bottom of the lake was still shocked.
The bottom of the lake is circular, covering an area of about 1,000 square meters, surrounded by nine dragon pillars carved on the stone wall, every one meter in the center, there are stone steps connected by the direction of the eight trigrams, extending to the lowest level.
There are 80 stone steps, and at the bottom there is a huge inky blue cobblestone, and the icy cold air at the bottom of the lake is emanating from the cobblestone.
I once saw it in the Zhiwei illustrated book in my grandfather's study, this stone is called Ice Spirit Gentian, and it is rumored to be the courage taken from the corpse of an ice dragon in the deep sea.
The last record in the book is that 130 years ago, in the Tianshan Mountains in the far north, due to the birth of the snow spirit, the terrain moved, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees.
From the Tianshan Mountains to the south, the three eastern provinces connect the Tianshan region, and many people have frozen to death.
Zhang Dao Lingyun swam through this place, used a piece of ice spirit gentian, and discussed with Xue Ling to move north, which allowed the cold wave to fade and saved tens of thousands of people.
I didn't expect this thing to be seen by me!
And on the ice spirit gentian, there is a giant Jiao with three people surrounding the thickness and length of nearly ten meters!
Jiaolong's whole body is dark green, with a pair of blue triangular pupils, staring straight at me, this overwhelming sense of oppression makes me can't help but feel hairy in my heart.
And behind me, it is the real entrance to the Imperial Tomb!
It's just that the entrance and exit of the stone cave are covered with a faint light mask, and you can see that part of the light mask is eroded by the bloody qi.
My previous judgment was good, as long as I waited for the false entrance to the mountain to fill in enough lives, the protective shield here would disappear.
As for the dragon that is coiled on the spirit gentian, it is the divine beast that truly guards the emperor's tomb!
Its lair has eighty steps, while the emperor's palace has only ninety-nine eighty-one steps. There is only one staircase missing here, which is enough to see this dragon, especially favored by the lord of the imperial tomb.
When you encounter this giant beast, everything is over......
Just when I was worried in my heart, Jiaolong's body quickly shrank, turning into a young man eight feet long, with narrow eyes and a handsome face, and a little feminine.
"Old man, you are auspicious."
Jiaolong squinted his eyes and greeted me, and looking at his "qi", it could be seen that he had no malicious intent.
But why does he call me an old man?
Now that the other party has become a spirit, and he does not have the evil aura of demons in his body, things are much easier.
I replied indifferently, "Hello." ”
The young man was still smiling, "You're here to explore the Emperor's Mausoleum?" ”
"Yes."
"You're here too early, it's not open yet."
"I know, so just come down and take a look."
"I see."
The young man nodded thoughtfully, and then arched his hand to me with a smile, "I'm Mu Gongsong, with a single name and a sea character, dare to ask your old name?" ”
"Li Tianci."
I can't help but wonder, how can a dragon that has become a spirit still have a name and a surname? Could it be ...... Is it a surname given by the lord of the Imperial Tomb?
It's impossible to think of it, I can see from the Qi Observation Technique that the lifespan of this python is just over a hundred years.
At the age of more than 100 years, how could it be the Zhenling Divine Beast of the Millennium Emperor's Tomb?
To become a human body, you must first see people. But he has been suppressed here, where did he learn about the human world?
