Chapter 004: The Magical Millennium Ancient Pool
On the outskirts of Fengcheng, the imperial capital, the royal enclosure.
At this moment, it was noon, the sun was shining, the sky was clear, and the snowstorm that had fallen all night last night had completely stopped.
This vast area and beautiful scenery of the royal paddock because of the heavy snow, but also turned into a snowy resort, beautiful scenery, a unique view.
Although most of the animals are too lazy to come out and move in the warm burrows, a few elk can occasionally be seen wandering cautiously in the snow in search of food, and at the slightest hint of wind and grass, they will bounce and flash and quickly disappear into the depths of the forest.
Because this is a royal hunting forbidden land, all kinds of rare birds and beasts are carefully raised all year round, so it is heavily guarded, and outsiders cannot enter at all.
In addition to the crowds and lively during the royal hunt in autumn every year, it is difficult to see people on weekdays, and it is completely a paradise for birds and beasts.
Especially after a snowstorm, the birds and beasts have disappeared, and it is even colder here.
Don't look at the whole Fengcheng last night because of the elf cat in the world, but there is still peace here, as if something big happened outside has nothing to do with here.
It's like a secluded hideaway.
In particular, in the middle of a dark, damp valley deep in the paddock, there is a fifty-foot blue pool, a phoenix-shaped turquoise pool that has existed for at least a thousand years, and is unfathomable.
It was as if a pair of eyes were hiding in the shadows and peeking at the entire Demon Phoenix Empire.
Although the water quality of this thousand-year-old pond is turquoise, it is surrounded by blood-red mist all the year round, once any birds, beasts or humans approach, the blood-red mist will gradually turn black, looking from afar, it looks like a black pool that can devour all things, it is daunting, and quite weird.
As a result, it has become a place where every hunter in the royal enclosure knows the danger, and no one dares to approach it rashly.
Even the birds and beasts in the paddock easily did not dare to approach the ancient pond in this valley.
Unless it is chased by hunters, it is a matter of life and death, and there is no way to escape, it will break into the edge of the ancient pond.
Just like three years ago, when Yanyu was twelve years old, because of his youth and courage, he chased an elk into the valley deep in this paddock alone.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the elk would not dare to come here, but because of the careful layout of other generals in the secret, they quietly injured the elk, and also cut off other routes for the elk to escape, so that the injured elk rushed into the edge of the ancient pond in a panic.
He also arrived later, and he wanted to catch the injured elk alive, forgetting the danger of the ancient pool, and jumped up to the edge of the ancient pool, but accidentally slipped into the thousand-year-old ancient pool with the elk.
At the moment of falling into the ancient pool, Yanyu remembered that her father had told her to restrain herself during the hunting period and not to trespass into the valley where the ancient pond was located.
But it was too late for her to regret it!
When she was completely submerged in the icy water, her whole body instantly stiffened and she couldn't move.
I could only watch myself and the elk around me slowly sink.
At the same time, several generals who were hiding in the dark observation flew up to the trees on the edge of the ancient pool, and condescendingly glanced at the smoke and rain that were motionless and slowly disappeared into the depths of the ancient pond filled with a faint black mist, and then left with satisfaction.
They felt that even if they didn't drown, they would be poisoned by the black fog that filled the ancient pool, so they left with confidence.
In their minds, after the blood-red mist that was originally permeated in this ancient pool turned into a pale black mist, even if it was not as domineering as the black mist in the Demon Phoenix Abyss, it was definitely something that very people could bear.
After that, these generals deliberately delayed for a long time before spreading the shocking news that Yanyu had broken into the valley where the thousand-year-old ancient pond was located alone.
As a result, the royal guards who rushed to look for Yanyu after hearing the news came to the vicinity of Gutan for an hour.
When the royal guards finally came to the vicinity of the ancient pond and did not see the smoke and rain, they also agreed that the smoke and rain were very likely to fall into the ancient pool, so they shook their heads one after another, not hoping to save the rain alive.
After all, it has been too long, and there is a palpitating blood-red mist in Gutan, and whenever the royal guards want to get close to Gutan, the blood-red mist will gradually turn black.
So much so that they all hesitated and didn't know whether to continue to approach Gutan.
But after all, Yanyu is the future princess of the Queen Mother's marriage, before coming, the emperor gave a death order, and Yanyu must be found back unharmed, otherwise they will come to see him, so in the end, they still came to the edge of Gutan with trepidation.
When they looked at the phoenix-shaped ancient pond in front of them, and the pale black mist drifting in the wind in the ancient pool, their scalps were also numb.
No one dared to rush into the black mist of the ancient pond to find the whereabouts of the smoke and rain.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, instantly blowing away the black fog in the ancient pool.
Suddenly, all the royal guards saw at a glance the smoke and rain struggling in the middle of the water surface of the ancient pool.
Surprised, all the royal guards jumped into the waterhole and quickly rescued the smoke and rain.
Just as everyone worked together to rescue Yanyu from the ancient pool, they saw that the ancient pool was filled with black fog again.
There is also a feeling of escaping death.
They all felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so they hurriedly carried the smoke and rain that had fallen asleep and left quickly.
Although Yanyu was rescued and woke up by the doctors afterwards, because he lost all his memories, no one knew what danger Yanyu experienced in an hour in Gutan, and how he survived.
Even after Yanyu himself woke up, he didn't remember the experience of falling into Gutan at all.
Since then, Yanyu has become a short-tempered savage dementia lady who only knows how to bite.
Later, he was forcibly sent by the emperor to the prisoner exile area near the Demon Phoenix Abyss, and was finally completely swallowed by the Demon Phoenix Abyss a year later.
It wasn't until midnight two years later, half an hour before the midnight spirit cat appeared last night, that she also woke up in a demon cave under the Demon Phoenix Abyss.
And gradually recovered all his memories, and finally understood the reason why he was in the abyss of the demon phoenix.
Recalling his bizarre experience in the ancient pond in the past, and the reality of surviving in the abyss of the demon phoenix that is certain to die in the eyes of the world at this moment, Yanyu is also full of emotion.
For her, there is only one wish, and that is to leave this black mist abyss of the demon phoenix as soon as possible and return to Yanfu.
Returning to the arms of her mother, the only one in the world who cares about her the most, the most obsessive and unforgettable warmth that she has always had been given to her by her mother, and maternal love has also been the most cherished existence since she was a child.
As for father's love, Yanyu is no longer extravagant.
She knows very well that her father Yan Siming, as the head of the family, has a group of wives and concubines, and countless children, it is inevitable that the rain and dew will be evenly wet, whether it is his wife or concubine, or his children, he will never deliberately favor one person, and the interests of the family are always put first.
When necessary, sacrificing a wife or concubine or child to protect the interests and safety of the family is the most important thing in his mind.
Especially after she fell into Gutan and became a dementia lady, except for her mother, who still really loved her and tried her best to protect her, everyone else saw her and looked like they couldn't avoid her.
Although she was stupid at the time, who was good to her and who disliked her still remembered in her heart.
So after recovering all her memories in the demon cave, the only relative she wanted to see was her mother, Ouyang Lanxi.
When Yanyu crawled out of the demon cave and crawled out of the pile of dry bones, she happened to meet the civet cat, and after being recognized by the civet cat on the spot, she also shuttled deep and shallow feet in the black mist of the demon phoenix abyss, and rushed to the exit of the demon phoenix abyss with difficulty.
It's just that she also understands that the Demon Phoenix Abyss she is in is thousands of miles away from Fengcheng, and it is unrealistic to walk back with her legs.
Only after getting out of the Demon Phoenix Abyss, rushing to the nearest city, buying a thousand-mile horse to ride, and then it is possible to return to Fengcheng Yanfu within a day or two.
As for the money to buy Maxima, she was not worried, because the Ouyang family, where her mother was located, belonged to a wealthy nobleman, and its power spread throughout the Demon Phoenix Empire.
Even the smallest county town has the property of the Ouyang family, and she, the future princess who was given to marry by the Queen Mother, is known to everyone in the entire Demon Phoenix Empire, let alone the people of the Ouyang family.
So as long as she gets out of the Demon Phoenix Abyss, she casually rushes to a county town and identifies herself, and naturally she gets what she wants.
The only difficult thing at the moment is this journey in the abyss of the demon phoenix, not to mention the darkness, it is also deserted, except for the dry bones everywhere, not even a tree can be seen.
Moreover, the road under your feet is slippery and muddy, which is quite difficult to walk, and when you encounter piles of dry bones, you have to take a detour, which also makes the smoke and rain quite restless.
Fortunately, the lilac light in her eyes shone brightly, allowing her to clearly see everything within a radius of one mile, which was also a blessing in misfortune.
Just when Yanyu was hurrying away, he accidentally saw a phoenix-shaped waterhole in front of him!
Taking a closer look, Yanyu found that this waterhole was exactly the same as the thousand-year-old pond in the depths of the royal enclosure on the outskirts of Fengcheng that she remembered!
The same unfathomable!
The same blood-red mist fills the air!
If someone approaches, the blood-red mist will turn into a black mist!
At that moment, Yanyu instantly remembered the bizarre experience of falling into the thousand-year-old ancient pool three years ago!
and the magical saying about the thousand-year-old ancient pond teleportation.
After recalling that statement, Yanyu suddenly became extremely excited!
After she tried to recite a mantra silently in her heart, she saw a purple beam of light shoot out from the blood-colored phoenix pattern in her eyebrows, splitting the surface of the black mist of the ancient pool in two.
A staircase glowing with a lilac light appeared at the edge of the water surface of the ancient pool, and this staircase appeared to lead to the deepest part of the ancient pool.
In addition to the surprise, Yanyu walked up the steps without hesitation and walked down step by step.
The moment her figure completely submerged into the surface of the ancient pool, the water surface that had been divided into two automatically closed again.
Thousands of miles away, the water surface of the thousand-year-old pond in the depths of the royal enclosure magically cracked automatically, revealing a staircase of lilac light.
It didn't take long for the figure of Yanyu to appear.
When Yanyu walked out of the ancient pond and stood next to the ancient pond and looked at the valley deep in the long-lost royal paddock, she knew that she had really returned to the outskirts of Fengcheng from the Demon Phoenix Abyss thousands of miles away in an instant.
In her mind, she recalled the bizarre experience of falling into the ancient pool three years ago......
