Chapter 59: Into the Bottom of the Pool
"Ancestor, why didn't Yuan Chengzhi rescue you back then? And who removed the treasure here?" Cheng Yifan saw that the ancestor finished speaking, and continued to ask.
It's not that Yuan Chengzhi doesn't want to rescue me, it's that he can't go deep into the bottom of the pool. Beneath this pool is a place of extreme cold, and mortal bodies cannot enter it at all.
Back then, I learned from Yuan Chengzhi's mouth that there was a fire lotus mist growing on the top of this cliff, and it was because they ate this fire lotus mist that they would not freeze to death when they fell down.
This fire lotus mist had ten fruits back then, and none of the ten fruits were ripe; They were so hungry and thirsty that they didn't care whether they were ripe or not, so they picked five of them that were relatively ripe. The unripe fruit was so bitter that it was difficult to eat, and they did not know the treasure, and after eating a few of them, they did not pick them. Although the fruit is difficult to eat, it has seven points of effect.
After falling into the cave, Yuan Chengzhi learned a skill from the six treasures left here, and also learned the spiritual art of soul art.
When he was exploring the way out, he sensed me at the bottom of the pool, and then we were commensurate with master and apprentice. And I also taught him the Heart Sutra of Soul Magic.
He had tried to rescue me, but with all his might, he could only go half of the cold pool, not the bottom of the pool. After many fruitless attempts, we can only pin our hopes on the fire lotus mist on the cliff, hoping that after 300 years, the fruit will mature and we can use it to penetrate deep into the bottom of the pool.
When the two of them left, Chen Qing left his beloved Soul Breaker Flute here, on the one hand, it was used to suppress the soul consciousness of the five treasures here; On the other hand, it is used to connect the senses between me and them. And not long after they left, I fell asleep again.
As for who moved the treasure, I really don't know, I guess it should be Yuan Chengzhi who moved it because it was of better use, right? The real value here is not gold and silver jewelry, but the five treasures that seal the soul of the founding power of our dynasty.
The five soul consciousnesses have been sealed for many years, and their tears are very heavy, and if they don't know soul magic, it is difficult to surrender to them. Being able to unlock the restrictions of the jade flute doesn't alarm me, and no one should be able to do it except themselves.
"Then Ancestor, why do you think that Cheng Yifan will rescue you? With just one story, Cheng Yifan has to take his life to save you?" Zhao Yawen still asked quietly, she really didn't want Cheng Yifan to take risks.
"Girl, don't worry, he has eaten so many fire lotus mist, one of which is still nearly a thousand years ripe fire lotus mist, going down to this ice pool to save me is like digging into a bag and taking things, just a gesture." Old Ancestor explained anxiously.
"Yawen, don't worry, I'll go down and take a look." Cheng Yifan said.
"No, what if it lied to you?"
"It's okay, if it doesn't work, I'll come up, and by the way, see if I can get out of this exit." Cheng Yifan insisted on going down, because he felt that if this ancestor had malicious intentions towards them, he could kill them with a single move, and he didn't have to go to great lengths to let him go down this cold pool.
Zhao Yawen actually knew this fact, but he was worried about Cheng Yifan and didn't want him to take risks. In addition, she felt that this so-called ancestor had a lot of things to hide from them, and she didn't dare to fully trust it.
"Then be careful!" Zhao Yawen did not insist any longer.
"Haha, yes, yes, a bit bold." Old Ancestor smiled happily.
"Plop", there was a sound of water, Cheng Yifan held his breath and jumped into the pool. When he first entered the cold pool, Cheng Yifan felt a cold current coming, and the cold current came from the surface of the limbs and flowed to the internal organs. However, after the cold current flowed through the five internal organs, a warm feeling came from his stomach, and this feeling quickly ran all over his body. Feeling that the cold snap disappeared, Cheng Yifan swam a short distance into the pond again, and every time it was the same, the cold snap just hit, and he was quickly repelled by the warm current from the heart of his belly.
After swimming for about ten seconds, Cheng Yifan found that the southwest side of Hantan, that is, at the bottom of the study cave, there was a mouth about one meter wide, and water continued to flow out of the mouth.
Cheng Yifan guessed, this is what the ancestor said. Because of the effect of the fire lotus mist, he couldn't feel the coldness of the pool water; But he thinks that with the strength of the ancestor, it shouldn't be difficult to get here, why doesn't it go out of the hole directly, but chooses to go to the depths of the cold pool? Could it be that there is something more important under this cold pool than a hole? What could it be?
At the moment when Cheng Yifan was distracted, a feeling of ice spikes came from his limbs again, and then his fingers began to stiffen.
"Concentrate, don't think wildly, keep the dantian, and use your mind to direct the warm current in your belly to the whole body." The voice of the ancestor sounded in Cheng Yifan's ears.
Cheng Yifan ran the warm current with his mind according to the instructions of the ancestor, and after a while, the warm current spread all over his body, and his fingers returned to normal, and what was even more strange was that the oxygen he was about to run out of was like a new breath, and he suddenly lost his feeling of suffocation.
After regaining consciousness, Cheng Yifan did not stop and swam straight to the bottom of the pool.
During this period, the water in the pool became colder and colder, and although Cheng Yifan could not feel the temperature of the water, he could guess from the surrounding ice-like water bodies. He kept directing the warm current in his belly.
Soon, Cheng Yifan swam to the bottom of the pool. is different from what Cheng Yifan imagined, there is no soil at the bottom of the pool, and there is a piece of white everywhere, not because there is light at the bottom of the pool, but because the entire bottom of the pool is ice, and the thickness of the ice cannot be seen. In addition to the ice, there is nothing else at the bottom of the entire pool, and the so-called ancestors cannot be found.
Cheng Yifan ran the warm current, exhaled bubbles in his mouth, and asked, "Ancestor, where are you?"
"Foot under your feet, boy." Old Ancestor's voice sounded in Cheng Yifan's ears again.
Cheng Yifan hurriedly lifted his feet away, leaned over to check, and there was still nothing except for the ice.
"I said you kid, how can you be as stupid as your ancestors, I've been trapped here for more than six hundred years, how can I still be on the ice, go find something to dig up?" Maybe he was in a hurry, and the ancestor said quietly.
"Ask someone to return this tone, if it weren't for my kindness, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you, I didn't say it earlier, where to find tools now?" Cheng Yifan muttered dissatisfiedly in his heart.
"Tools!" Cheng Yifan thought of the Gao family's golden blood sword before, and guessed that the golden blood sword might have fallen into this pool with it.
"Do you mean the golden sword with spiritual sense, in front of your left?" Old Ancestor said as if he could hear Cheng Yifan's heart.
Cheng Yifan looked for the left front, and sure enough, there was an icepillar that resembled a sword-like half-inserted in the ice.
This cold pool has really experienced harm, and it can make the golden sword freeze in just a few hours.
Cheng Yifan couldn't pull out the golden sword with all his strength.
"Pour warm currents in." Old Ancestor said.
Cheng Yifan didn't dare to put it aside, he had been down for two minutes, if it weren't for the strange warm current in his stomach to support, he would have been suffocated even if he didn't freeze to death. Now he felt the warm current diminishing, and it estimated that it would not last long.
The warm current poured in, the ice on the golden sword quickly dispersed, turned into ice water, Cheng Yifan pulled it out again, the golden sword was like hanging in the air, and it was pulled out without much effort, Cheng Yifan didn't stand firm for a while, and actually fell down.
"Hahaha, boy, not only are you stupid, but you can't do kung fu either." Old Ancestor smiled.
Cheng Yifan did not take care of the ancestor, but directly took the sword to dig in the ice just now, but the sword Xiaoice was thick, and it was simply a dime.
"You stick your sword in it, and you do it like you did just now." The ancestor estimated that Cheng Yifan's physical strength could not support it for long, and he didn't dare to joke anymore.
The warm current settled in, and the ice around the golden sword began to dissipate. Circle after circle, Cheng Yifan continued to convey his own warm current, like a high-pressure water pump.
Soon a big hole was opened around the golden sword, and the first thing that was revealed was a corpse, the corpse was well preserved, and the face was clearly visible, but the limbs and faces of the corpse were burned by the fire, which was very ugly and shocking.
Cheng Yifan thought that this should be the body of the ancestor, and it is estimated that the creature it said is also here. Cheng Yifan is abnormally weak, and he can no longer continue to instill warm currents. Overdrawn, he was going to stop there. Unexpectedly, at this time, a small white worm in the ice was slowly moving; The insects glowed with white light, absorbing all the warm currents released by Cheng Yifan; The warm current flowed out violently, and the insects seemed to suck Cheng Yifan dry, greedily sucking.
"Ancestor, what are you doing here?" Cheng Yifan screamed and fainted.
Zhao Yawen on the top of the cold pool was anxious at the moment, she always felt that the ancestor had something to hide from them, and the bottom of the pool was not as simple as the ancestor said.
