[The book continues from the above, the last book said that the old ghost answered Mu Qingming's question, and Mu Qingming, according to his answer and some facts he knew in the past, expected that the Emperor Mother of Heli was really the holy daughter of the Longmu clan. And the old ghost also knew that he was running out of time, and he wanted to hand over the golden crow bones to Mu Qingming as soon as possible and take them away and destroy them, so he took Mu Qingming and them to go deeper underground. It is drawn out of the middle of the delicate ground, which is not disturbed by the fire and feels cool. Mu Qingming and the other dragon lockers saw the peace jar placed on the large jadeite. The old ghost took out the bones of the golden crow from the vat. It was a three-foot-long, smooth vertebrae. The dim golden light of the Dao Dao emanated from the bones and joints little by little. 】

Mu Qingming and the others did not hesitate, and followed the old ghost who had already gone straight forward, stepping into the world full of crystals.

Here, without the heat and scorching heat, the feeling of coldness and coldness keeps the fire out of the rock crevices, isolated from the lava flowing all over the ground.

The two caves, separated by a rock wall, were like two worlds.

On one side, it's hard to stand the heat, and on the other side, it's refreshingly cool.

But Mu Qingming, the dragon lockers, still haven't unlocked the protective body Zhenqi.

Not only to prevent emergencies, but also to prevent hot and cold spells.

When they came all the way, they did not encounter any danger. However, he did not relax his vigilance, especially Ah Hong and Zhang Xiaosheng, the two junior disciples, who always kept their vigilance against the old ghosts who led the way in front.

Although Mu Qingming and Mo Han looked calm, they were secretly wary of the old ghost.

After all, the other party is not someone they fully trust, so there should be a limit to trust.

And the old ghost took the lead, leading them deep into the cave, but they were also silent.

He didn't have time to care about anything else, he just wanted to quickly hand over the bones of the Golden Crow to Mu Qingming and them.

And where they passed, there were crystalline stones on the ground around them, like swords and swords, pointing straight to the sky.

Sometimes, they even have to pass through the not-so-spacious gaps between the crystals to move on.

And among these strangely colored cyan crystal stones, the cold air fills every corner of this cave here.

It's just that where there is magma flowing outside, it is too hot, and after the hot and hot air collides with the water and cold air here, the cold here is no longer biting and cold, but refreshing and cool.

This is also the characteristic and wonderful of Linglongdi.

Since ancient times, water, fire, and cold have restrained each other, which is vividly reflected here.

The fire cools the cold, and the cold weakens the fire, making the magma flow slowly and solidify easily.

This is the reason why Mu Qingming and the others came here before and saw a lot of pits and holes formed on the edge of the magma after the magma cooled.

Zhang Xiaosheng and Ah Hong looked left and right, and were very curious about the cyan crystal stones that rose after the cold overflowed.

On their way, these crystal stones growing everywhere don't know how long they have been standing in this deep, narrow cave.

But they remained silent, motionless.

Like a loyal guard, guarding this cave that no one has set foot in for a long time.

Only when the ghost fire in the old ghost's hand passes by, these crystal stones will glow with colorful reflections.

"10,000-year-old ice crystals, that's what they look like." Mu Qingming glanced back behind him by chance, and saw the curiosity on the faces of the two disciples, so he explained to them: "They are the products left over from the ancient period. It is said that there was a time when the world was dark, the world was shrouded in coldness, heavy snowstorms continued, and the sky and the earth were vast. At that time, 10,000-year-old ice crystals grew out of the ground (Mu Qingming is talking about the Ice Age). ”。

The sound echoed, breaking the silence that had been dormant in the cave for thousands of years.

"In the beginning, these 10,000-year-old ice crystals were as white as snow and could generate cold qi on their own. And most of them are deep underground, and it is difficult for ice crystals to break through the ground and emerge from the ground. ”。

"But slowly, the 10,000-year-old ice crystals will turn white and green, and the self-generated cold will become weaker and weaker. Once the cyan color becomes heavier and the ice crystals are no longer transparent, they will die. Mu Qingming told the two disciples about the knowledge recorded in the ancient books of the dragon lockers in the past.

This also made Ah Hong and Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly open their eyes.

"These ice crystals are also stones, how can they still die?" But after a while, Zhang Xiaosheng asked curiously.

"Everything has a spirit. Whatever it is, it must have its own lifespan. Mu Qingming smiled faintly and said patiently: "Of course, the death of the 10,000-year-old ice crystal is nothing more than shattering into countless pieces, and then dust returns to dust, and dust returns to earth. When the next ice and snow comes, new 10,000-year-old ice crystals will grow again. In the frozen and desolate world, they are one of the few new beings. ”。

Mo Han also listened attentively to Mu Qingming's description of the 10,000-year-old ice crystals, and at the same time looked at the ice crystals nearby, almost none of them were not turned cyan.

In this way, not only have the ice crystals been around for a long time, but they are also running out of oil.

She looked ahead again, and so did the old ghost.

The weak old ghost no longer has the momentum he had when he faced off with Mu Qingming. The old ghost's back was slightly rickety, and the ghost aura on his body was getting weaker and weaker.

No matter how you look at it, the old ghosts are all oiled and the lamps are dry.

It's like something or a wish that is coming to an end, and it looks like before it gets liberation.

Whatever it is, the ending will be so bleak.

Soon, Mu Qingming and the others saw that between the ice crystals, several big trees suddenly appeared, and they met their eyes.

To be exact, it was a dead wood that had withered. They were leafless, with bare branches and a dry and cracked skin, old and lifeless.

The branches and trunks were strangely shaped, and the twisted branches stretched out in all directions, but there was no vitality to be seen, and the body was lifeless inside and out. And without the bare branches of the leaves, it looks so desolate, and there is a trace of sadness.

Zhang Xiaosheng and Ah Hong didn't have enough eyesight, they could only see some dead wood, and wondered if it was a fossil left in this underground cave.

But Mu Qingming and Mo Han's eyesight could see that each of those dead trees was a member of the Longmu clan who had eaten Tai Sui, and turned into it after death.

They and the leper monk of Tanhua Temple are also connected with the same disease, including the end of their lives, and they also have exactly the same ending.

At the same time, at least the leper monk did not do evil, but the Longmu clan did not do any less.

Turning into dead wood can be regarded as a dead body, which may be the retribution of this evil clan.

At the roots of those dead trees, you can still see white bones from time to time.

I don't know if those dry bones haven't eaten Tai Sui's Longmu clan.

Just like the old ghost in front of him, his soul was not divided and disintegrated by Tai Sui's power in the end. The body is dead, but the soul has a thousand years to live.

But what can it be, there are no more people of the Longmu clan in the world.

This little-known clan could have survived better, but chose the darkest path of its own.

Finally, there is no future.

"Our people are deeply iniquent. Turned into dead wood, just to get more time to destroy the bones. The old man suddenly stopped, looked at the open ground in front of him, muttered to himself, and whispered, "It can be regarded as a well-deserved death." ”。

These words are open-minded, as if the old ghost has already taken life and death lightly.

Mu Qingming and the others also stood still, raising their eyes to look ahead.

First of all, what they saw was water falling from the sky.

Although the light was not so intense and dazzling, it also broke through the darkness and illuminated the ground ahead.

Looking up along the light, Mu Qingming and the others saw an oval-shaped ice crystal on the top of the cave, which was also a 10,000-year-old ice crystal, with an estimated diameter, and it was also about three zhang.

This 10,000-year-old ice crystal is unusually huge, and it is embedded in the roof of the cave. It's starting to turn blue, and it's not long before you die.

On top of the thick ice crystals, there are water waves.

The light passed through the water waves, and then refracted down by the ice crystals, which was the water light curtain that Mu Qingming saw hanging from the roof of the cave.

Every time the water ripples, the light curtain sways slightly.

That dazzling feeling, if the light is a little stronger, it will inevitably make people dizzy.

"This is ......" Mu Qingming raised his head to look at the water waves on the ice crystals for a moment, his lips trembled slightly, and he said, "This is the bottom of the lake?" ”。

"Yes, this is the bottom of Fuxian Lake." The old ghost nodded slightly, and gave Mu Qingming a clear answer.

But this answer was enough to shock Mu Qingming and the others.

Dian was able to open the mountain a thousand years ago, and built a passage from Liangwang Mountain to the bottom of the lake. I don't know how much manpower and material resources were consumed, but it can be seen that the craftsman skills of this ancient Dian Kingdom are not weaker than those of the Central Plains.

Mu Qingming and the others were surprised, and their eyes slowly looked down, looking at the ground shrouded in the light curtain.

On the ground in front of him, there was indeed a whole piece of crystal clear, moist and smooth jade jade, which was embedded in the ground.

I can only see that the jade is only about one zhang in diameter, but I can't see how thick this jade stone is.

The light curtain shone on it, and the jade and jade appeared even clearer and brighter.

Just as Mu Qingming and the others looked around, the old ghost looked up at the ice crystals on the top of the cave, and said, "It won't be long before the ice crystals shatter and the lake water pours in, and this place is no longer exquisite." The magma outside will also cool down, and the entire cave will be completely filled with water. ”。

This is also the reason why the Dian Kingdom gave up this place as the place where Zhuang Ji rests.

And the old ghost spoke, Mu Qingming's gaze fell on the middle of the jade on the ground.

There, there is a huge stone jar.

The stone jar was swollen and stood there quietly, not moving.

There are many scenes of sacrifice and hunting of the ancients.

The patterns are exquisitely ornate and the carvings are meticulously crafted, making them lifelike and ready to come out.

Ah Hong and Zhang Xiaosheng both felt familiar at first glance.

After thinking about it carefully, it immediately occurred to me that this was exactly the same as the Taiping jars that could be seen in many places in the city.

The so-called Taiping jar is a stone jar used to hold water in case of emergency, and used to extinguish fires.

To put it bluntly, it is used for fire fighting. Because extinguishing the fire is peace, and it is also homophonic to extinguish the disaster, so it is called the Taiping tank.

Although the shape of those Taiping jars is not only round and bulging, most of them are stone jars, which are said to be carved from stone so that they are not moved by people and are not easy to break.

Even in the small courtyard of the wooden house, in front of the corridor of the main house, there is a mouth next to the corner of the house. It's just that it was rectangular and a little smaller.

On weekdays, some rainwater is collected to feed the small fish and a few lotus plants inside.

When there is a fire in the house, it can be used to fight fire.

It's just that the Mu family courtyard hasn't been used once.

The Taiping jar here also seems to be useless.

The cave at the bottom of the lake is isolated, and there are no flammable or explosive materials around, so it seems that there is no need to extinguish the fire.

The temperature in the vicinity is moderate, neither hot nor cold, but the cold air in the vicinity still clings to the stone jar. After being irradiated by the water light, it turns into small droplets of water on the stone jar.

The old ghost stood on the edge of the water tank and made a gesture into the mouth of the tank.

I saw a flash of golden light in the water tank, and a ribless spine about three feet long rose from the water tank, and was constantly drenched with water.

Mu Qingming and they were well-informed, and they could see at a glance that it was a piece of snake vertebrae.

In addition to the anterior and posterior articular processes, there are also joints synthesized by the vertebral arch fovea and vertebral axiloid processes of the adjacent two vertebrae, which can enhance the connection and flexibility of the anterior and posterior vertebrae and facilitate the movement of the spine.

It's just that even a python doesn't have such long vertebrae. Each vertebra is more than a foot long.

I really don't know how big the golden crow was when he was still alive.

This vertebra has been polished, the surface is smooth and free of pits, and the joints connected to it have been fixed with bronze nails.

And on the bones, there is a faint golden light, emitting it.

For a while, the golden light near the water tank was scattered, although it was dim and introverted, but the golden light was still dazzling and dazzling.

It was only this bone that left the water tank, and Mu Qingming and Mo Han felt a large amount of evil qi contained in it.

The endless evil energy sleeps in the bones, like an animal that has hibernated, and has slept to death, without any trace of flow.

It's also like a pool of stagnant water that has been dormant for many years.

Even, even the long-lost fire has resurfaced. This time, the fire did not come from the magma, but from the bones.

The fire was hotter than the lava outside.

Even with the True Qi Protective Body, Mu Qingming and Mo Han could vaguely feel the feeling that the air around them was filled with fire and was constantly heating up.

And, even on their foreheads and palms, they began to sweat gradually.

"This is the skeleton of the Golden Crow." The old ghost held the object with both hands and raised his eyes to look at Mu Qingming.

He looked into Mu Qingming's eyes, and once again showed an expectant gaze.

How is Mu Qingming going to destroy the bones of the Golden Crow? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
