Chapter 12: The Ancient Tomb in the Center of the Earth (Section 6: The Holy Maiden of Heaven)
Ye Ting, Fang Xiaoqian, and Qi Hao looked at the floating island hanging in the icy air, which seemed to be close in front of them, but they couldn't get by.
"It's over, it's over, I'm really going to be trapped here!"
Qi Hao saw that Ye Ting and Fang Xiaoqian couldn't solve it, so he sat on the ground helplessly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, he was bounced up by the ground, and after the bounce flew to a certain height, it began to fall down.
"Ahh
When Qi Hao opened his eyes again, he was already in Ye Ting's arms. Seeing that he was held in Ye Ting's arms safe and sound, Qi Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Classmate Qi, how long do you want me to hold you?" Ye Ting questioned Qi Hao with a cold face.
"Thank you Instructor Ye for your kindness, I'll go now." Only then did Qi Hao react and quickly broke away from Ye Ting's embrace.
Fang Xiaoqian looked at the ground where Qi Hao was flying, and a circular pillar with a height of half a person appeared, so she approached the pillar.
When I approached the round pillar, I saw that there was a yin and yang fish Taiji diagram on it.
"Looks like that's where the mechanism for crossing that floating island is." Ye Ting also noticed the pillar that appeared out of thin air, and after walking over and seeing this Taiji diagram, he said to Fang Xiaoqian.
"This is Tai Chi, white is yang, black is yin, that is, yin and yang. There is a black spot in the white, and a little white in the black, that is, there is yin in the yang and yang in the yin. Ye Ting explained to Fang Xiaoqian.
"Actually, to put it bluntly, these two points are fish's eyes! Yin Yang Fish Taiji Diagram, this fish eye should be something like a switch or a mechanism! Fang Xiaoqian said with certainty.
"Then don't talk nonsense, let's give it a try!" Ye Ting raised his head to look at Xiao Qian's eyes above, and Fang Xiaoqian nodded, indicating his understanding.
So, the two of them each stretched out their hands, Ye Ting pointed at the white spot of the yin fish in the Taiji diagram, and Fang Xiaoqian pointed at the black spot of the yang fish, and after the two glanced at each other, they pressed it together.
"Fly, fly over—" Qi Hao shouted loudly. I saw that the floating island was spinning like a tai chi, flying in the direction of the Cold Ice Gate, and did not stop until it was close to the Cold Ice Gate.
At this time, the floating island appeared in front of the three of them, like a huge island. And compared to this island, the three of them are simply as small as ants.
After a long day's effort, the three of them finally climbed onto the floating island.
"Wow—that's beautiful!" Fang Xiaoqian couldn't help but marvel at the beautiful scenery in front of her like a paradise.
In her impression, she thought that Tianyu Mountain was the most beautiful fairyland in the world, but she didn't expect to see a holy place even more beautiful than Tianyu Mountain.
"Okay, don't grind, we're here to find people, not to see the scenery." Ye Ting looked at Fang Xiaoqian lying on the lawn, walked over and kicked her buttocks.
"Ahh I didn't mess with you with my ass? Fang Xiaoqian saw that her ass was kicked for no reason, so she immediately got up and ran after Ye Ting. A playful sound echoed across the island.
I don't know how long they walked on this island, but the three of them came to the edge of a lake. Qi Hao was so tired that he couldn't walk, and sat on the ground again.
"I can't do it anymore, I can't walk anymore! And I felt so hungry that I felt like I hadn't eaten for days. Qi Hao said weakly.
Fang Xiaoqian was shocked to come to her senses, since she entered the ancient curtain in the center of the earth, she really hadn't eaten anything at all. She is a spirit demon, and she can carry it without eating. But Ye Ting and Qi Hao are just mortals, but fortunately, Ye Ting is a demon slayer, and he has some skill to protect his body. But Qi Hao really can't do it, if it goes on like this, Qi Hao will really lose his life with hunger.
Fang Xiaoqian fumbled through the pockets on her body to see if she could find something to eat. Because Li Sijia is good at snacks, she habitually stuffs some snacks into Fang Xiaoqian's clothes pocket on weekdays.
Sure enough, I really turned out a small snack, which was an independent small bag of red bean biscuits. So, Fang Xiaoqian hurriedly opened the bag and took the biscuits to Qi Hao.
"Qi Hao, there are some biscuits here, you can put on a mat first, and when you go out, you will have a good meal!" Fang Xiaoqian said to Qi Hao.
Qi Hao didn't say a word, took the biscuit and devoured it. Ye Ting, who was on the side, saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but pout.
After Fang Xiaoqian heard Ye Tingba's smack, she knew that he was also hungry. So, he searched all the pockets on his body, found a piece of chocolate, looked at Ye Ting and said:
"Cold noodle people, there is only chocolate, what you love to eat is better than not to eat!" After Fang Xiaoqian finished speaking, she threw the chocolate in her hand to Ye Ting.
Ye Ting grabbed the chocolate thrown by Fang Xiaoqian with one hand, looked at Fang Xiaoqian with his eyes and asked, "What about you?" ”
"After all this experience, I think you have already guessed that I am not an ordinary person, to be precise, I am not a person! So, whether I eat or not doesn't have much effect! Fang Xiaoqian could see from Ye Ting's eyes that the other party had already known that she was not a human being.
It's just that I don't know if Ye Ting will be her enemy when she gets out of this ancient tomb in the center of the earth and returns to the ground? Or do you turn enemies into friends?
"Ahem, ahem...... cough cough ......" Hearing Fang Xiaoqian say that she was not a human being, Qi Hao, who was eating biscuits, suddenly choked and coughed.
"Oh, slow down! No one will snatch cookies from you! Fang Xiaoqian said as she hurriedly patted Qi Hao on the back.
"What did you just say, you're not human? Did I hear me right? Qi Hao turned his head to look at Fang Xiaoqian, who was helping him pat his back, and asked curiously.
"Eat your biscuits, I'm joking with Instructor Ye, do you believe it?" Fang Xiaoqian hurriedly diverted the conversation.
"Can you drink the water of this lake? Eat the cookies dry and thirsty! Qi Hao pointed to his dry lips and asked if he could drink the water in the lake.
Fang Xiaoqian looked at this lake, the lake area was very large. The calm surface of the lake is eerily quiet, the water is too blue to see, but you can't see the bottom of the lake at a glance.
"Don't drink this lake water, it looks weird!" Fang Xiaoqian turned her head to Qi Hao and said.
"Xiao Qian, look at it—face, Li Sijia's face—" Qi Hao began to be startled again, his eyes looked at the lake, and he shouted in panic.
"Ouch, can I please don't be like this all the time-" Fang Xiaoqian couldn't stand Qi Hao's surprise like this, and looked at the lake as she spoke.
Sure enough, as Qi Hao said, a human face appeared on the calm lake - it was Li Sijia's face. I saw that her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was lying somewhere asleep.
"This isn't Li Sijia, I guess it's something that is transfigured, right? Think about it, didn't the lily spirit of the glasses transform into Li Sijia's appearance? Ye Ting looked at the face that appeared on the surface of the lake and said what he thought.
"Look, this lake is so strange, I've been staring at it for a while, why doesn't this lake move at all?" Qi Hao also noticed the strangeness of the lake.
Fang Xiaoqian and Ye Ting looked at the lake again, and indeed as Qi Hao said, the lake did not move at all. So, Ye Ting once again showed the gossip long sword, first threw the sword above the lake, only to see that the sword itself instantly turned into a giant sword, and the sharp blade slashed down against the lake.
A long opening was made in the surface of the lake, and when you looked down through the opening, a huge ice coffin was placed underneath. The sharp blade continued to scratch the surface of the lake, and it was not until a few more large openings were made that Ye Ting took the sword back.
"I'll leave it to you to open the lake!" Ye Ting looked at Fang Xiaoqian and said to her.
"Then you and Qi Hao will flash aside! In case it hurts you when the lake is lifted! ”
After Fang Xiaoqian finished speaking, without saying a word, she flew above the lake, and with a wave of the colorful sword in her hand, the colorful sword immediately turned into seven streamers of different colors and flew to several places on the lake. In a moment, the surface of the lake slowly rose and flew up, driven by seven streamers. Everything beneath the lake comes into view......
A huge dark blue crystal coffin appeared in front of the three of them. In the middle of the crystal coffin lay a woman dressed in ancient costume, with crimson cheeks and slightly closed eyes, as if she was asleep.
"Why is Li Sijia lying there? Why is the dress so weird? Qi Hao's eyes widened, looking at the person lying in the crystal coffin, his mind was full of a bunch of question marks.
"This is not Li Sijia, this is the Holy Maiden of Lingtian! Li Sijia is there-" As soon as Fang Xiaoqian's words fell, the person had already flown to Li Sijia's location.
It turned out that directly above the crystal coffin, Li Sijia was fixed on a T-shaped frame, with a pale face and closed eyes.
"Hey, Sijia, wake up! I'm Fang Xiaoqian, I'm here to save you, wake up! Fang Xiaoqian slapped Li Sijia's face, trying to wake her up.
Hearing Fang Xiaoqian's call, Li Sijia opened her eyes with great effort, and said in a weak voice:
"I must be dreaming, right? How could you possibly come to this tomb in the center of the earth to save me? After saying that, his eyes closed and he fainted again.
"Sijia, wake up! Don't fall asleep! Fang Xiaoqian shouted anxiously.
"Xiaoqian, now that the person is found, it is imperative that we find a way out quickly!" Seeing this, Ye Ting jumped up, flew to Fang Xiaoqian's side, and said to her.
"Okay, so what do we do now, in your opinion? What happened to Li Sijia and the Lingtian Holy Maiden? What must be the connection between the two? Fang Xiaoqian said to Ye Ting.
"This girl is the reincarnation of the Lingtian Holy Maiden, and I captured her here. This ancient tomb in the center of the earth is the cemetery of the Lingtian Holy Maiden, and I want to nourish the primordial spirit of the Lingtian Holy Maiden with her blood! Just as they were wondering about it, a ghostly female voice came.
"Blood Spirit?" Ye Ting recognized that it was the snake-haired blood spirit he had fought with many years ago.
"It's you little demon slayer again, it seems that I really underestimate you! It's really not easy to enter the ancient tomb of the Lingtian Holy Maiden! "The blood spirit's hair composed of countless small snakes spitting snake hyacinths really makes people panic when they look at it.
"Xiao Qian, you protect Sijia and Qi Hao, this blood spirit is tricky, I'll deal with it!" Ye Ting took the lead in blocking in front of Xiao Qian, preparing to confront the blood spirit.
"No, you're a mortal, and you're not a blood spirit opponent at all. I'll deal with it, you go and protect them. Fang Xiaoqian only felt that she must be a spirit demon, and she must not let a mortal take risks for herself.
"I'm a demon slayer, and it's my duty to kill demons!" Ye Ting finally revealed his true identity to Fang Xiaoqian.
"What are you grinding about? Is it a discussion about who will die first? The beautiful, yet hideous, blood spirit said arrogantly at them.
"This matter is not negotiable, you quickly take them and quickly retreat to the Cold Ice Gate!" Ye Ting still had a cold face, and his cold tone ordered Fang Xiaoqian to hurry up and take someone to leave first.
At this moment, a snake hair on the top of the blood spirit's head shot towards them like an arrow off the string, and Ye Ting saw this and hurriedly swung the gossip sword and slashed violently. But he still didn't prevent it, and a few small snakes still bit Ye Ting.
"Yes, you were bitten by the snake on the head of the blood spirit!" Seeing this, Fang Xiaoqian immediately dragged Ye Ting behind her, and then brandished the colorful sword and continued to block the oncoming little snake.
Fang Xiaoqian knew that her cultivation in just three or four hundred years was far inferior to the blood spirit in front of her who had thousands of years of cultivation, and no matter how hard she persevered, it would only be a dead end......
