Chapter 17: Re-entering the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes
"Your Majesty, Yurou and the prince are truly in love with each other, please fulfill us." Gu Yurou pleaded with the emperor to fulfill the emperor's wishes, she was unwilling to give up the position of future queen.
Gu Zhenwen felt sorry for his daughter, but he was also more concerned about his status, "Your Majesty, you can become the crown prince and Yurou." ”
The emperor was embarrassed by the continuous pleading of several people, "Let's talk about this later, don't worry, prince, I have given Donglin advice, I hope that their princess will come to our Beiwei to select in person, and the Tanglin envoy will bring their princess to come in a few days, and everything will be discussed later." ”
The emperor's words fell and the prince's frightened heart was slightly relaxed, "That's good, Erchen will not marry that Tanglin princess no matter what." ”
"Okay, did you and Yu Rou come here for marriage?" The emperor questioned the crown prince and Gu Yurou with a serious face.
"Erchen and Yurou met when they entered the palace, and Erchen came today to ask Uncle Lan about Ye Yuan." The prince looked at Wei Qianlan as he spoke.
Gu Ningyan tugged at Wei Qianlan's sleeve and whispered, "Ye Yuan's time is running out. ”
Wei Qianlan's eyes sank slightly, and he did not respond to Gu Ningyan, but looked at the crown prince, "King Jinyang doesn't need the prince to care, he will be treated in this king's mansion, if there is nothing else, we will go back first." ”
Regardless of the presence of the Queen Mother and the emperor, Gu Ningyan pushed Wei Qianlan and left, "Gu Ningyan still has to retire in advance." ”
"Uncle Lanhuang, this palace wants to go to your mansion to see Ye Yuan's situation." The prince followed the footsteps of Wei Qianlan and Gu Ningyan out of the main hall, and Gu Yurou behind him also followed the footsteps of the prince.
"Your Majesty, you should plan as soon as possible, his actions are already obvious." The Queen Mother looked at the back of King Lan, and her eyes became more and more hateful.
The emperor nodded seriously when he heard the Queen Mother's words, "What the Queen Mother said is that I will prepare." ”
Gu Zhenwen listened silently on the side and did not speak again.
After leaving the palace, Wei Qianlan stopped the prince and instructed Mo Yang to stop the prince's hot pursuit, and then left with Gu Ningyan.
Re-entering the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, Gu Ningyan came with hope this time.
"Master, can we really find the phoenix blood of the Wu Clan?" The four elephants brushed aside the bushes and thorns, and asked without confidence.
Gu Ningyan's eyes kept looking around, "Pay attention to the fact that there may be a boundary monument of the Wu clan under your feet. ”
"Got it, master."
When they came to the cold pool again, Gu Ningyan's mind instantly appeared in the scene of meeting Wei Qianlan for the first time, and it was he who had the audacity to suck his own blood.
Sixiang saw that the master was looking at the cold pool in front of him in a daze, so he stepped forward and reminded, "Master, what are you looking at?" ”
"Well, it's okay, I'm thinking that since there is a cold pool here, then the Wu Clan will not be far away." Gu Ningyan retracted his thoughts and pointed around the cold pool. "The cold pool is the sacred pool of the Wu clan."
"Master, you and King Lan met here, why did he know that Hanchi was here, could it be said that he had anything to do with the Wu Clan?"
Sixiang's words caused Gu Ningyan to ponder, "Wei Qianlan has fire Gu poison in his body and needs to be soaked in the cold pool, it should be a pure coincidence that he found this place, right?" ”
"Master, my subordinates think that Wei Qianlan is not simple, last night when I heard that you were looking for phoenix blood, my subordinates noticed his gaze, as if they knew what phoenix blood was."
"When you say that, I also think Wei Qianlan is suspicious." Gu Ningyan's fingers picked up the water in the cold pool, it was cold and biting, he didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now he picked it up and smelled it, and there was a clear fragrance.
With the ghost guard around the cold pool three or four times, suddenly, plopped-
"Master." The four elephants were frightened by the sudden action of their master.
Gu Ningyan jumped into the cold pool, constantly moving downstream, she stared at the cold pool intently, and finally had a flash of inspiration, aiming at the black light looming under the cold pool, and didn't think much about jumping into the cold pool.
Falling into the bottom of the pool, an inscription with the words blood red, yes, it is the Wu clan.
Holding his last breath and rushing out of the water, Gu Ningyan pointed to the bottom of the water and said to Sixiang, "You come down and take a look." ”
Sixiang got the order to submerge the black shadow into the water, and after a while, he came out, coughing up a few mouthfuls of water gushing out of the water, "Master, it's the boundary monument of the Wu clan." ”
"Let's go back to the bottom of the pool and take a look." Grabbing the four elephants, Gu Ningyan fell to the bottom of the cold pool again.
At the moment when they sank to the bottom of the pool, a figure swept across the surface of the cold pool, causing ripples!
And at the bottom of the pool, they saw the inscription, the blood-red font was like Yin Hong bloodshot at the bottom of the water, more and more gorgeous, just as they were about to touch the inscription of the Wu clan, the inscription suddenly opened by itself, and a strong force swept Gu Ningyan and the four elephants into the entrance, and then sealed it by itself......
With a bang, Gu Ningyan's body fell heavily to the ground, the dark dampness made Gu Ningyan uncomfortable, and he got up and called out to Sixiang, "Sixiang, where are you?" ”
Strike.
"Master, I'm here."
With the response of the four elephants, Gu Ningyan's eyes highlighted a halo, and he saw two rows of fires suddenly lit up twice.
Gu Ningyan looked at the source of Sixiang's voice, and the black figure was pasted on the wall, showing a herringbone horse.
Gu Ningyan burst out laughing, "What do you look like, come out quickly." ”
The four elephants instantly turned into a black deer and ran to the master, "Master, where is this?" Spooky. ”
With Sixiang's inquiry, Gu Ningyan saw the surroundings clearly by the light of the fire, this place was like a big hall, on both sides of the hall were lighting coals, and there were rows of blood phoenix stone statues around, which looked very fierce.
What attracts her the most is that there is a circular hollow covering the ground in the middle position, and dazzling light gushes out from below, with a light tapping step, when she looks closer, Gu Ningyan almost screams out, only to see that in the hollow hole is a sleeping blood phoenix, its body is burning with the light of flames, and it is surprisingly beautiful.
"Look, this is the Wu Clan." Gu Ningyan pointed to the sleeping blood phoenix underneath and motioned to the four elephants to look.
"Sure enough, it's a blood phoenix, master be careful, legend has it that the blood phoenix grows at the bottom of the molten pool and has a fierce temper, but why didn't it wake up when we moved so much?"
Gu Ningyan stepped back slightly, looking around, the huge palace did not have a trace of vitality. "I'll go down and get blood, and you will protect it." Stepping forward again, she was ready to jump to the bottom of the molten pool.
Sou!
"Master, be careful."
Just as she was about to jump off the molten pool, a flying arrow quickly grazed in front of Gu Ningyan's eyes and shot onto the main chair of the main hall, searching around again in horror, there should be no one here, how could anyone attack her?
"Who is it?" She raised her voice and looked in the direction where the arrows were flying, the stone gate a few feet high.
The voice of the inquiry did not receive any response.
"Master, people must be outside the stone gate." The four elephants jumped over, but found that they could not open the stone door.
"There is a mechanism in the stone gate." After speaking, Gu Ningyan rushed to the stone gate again, "You have the ability to come in." ”
"Don't disturb the Blood Phoenix, it's hot-tempered and has been sleeping for hundreds of years with serious injuries."
The man outside the stone gate responded, a low, magnetic male voice. Gu Ning Yanmei said lightly: "Are you from the Wu Clan?" She softened her breath and lowered her voice to ask politely.
Boom –
The heavy stone door slowly opened in front of Gu Ningyan.......
