Text Chapter 43 The person who suddenly disappeared + the notice of the shelf
Mu Xiaochu kept waving his hand and said, "Eh, that, you can just call me Xiaochu, the head of the family doesn't need anything." ”
The Great Elder said, "No, this is a rule, don't mess around." ”
Mu Xiaochu said scoundrelly: "If you don't change it, then I won't go in." ”
Grand Elder: "This? ”
The second elder kept looking at the cave, and said a little impatiently: "Okay, I'll call you Xiao Chu in the future, now we can go in." ”
After hearing the big reply, Mu Xiaochu pursed his lips and said, "I actually have one more question to ask." ”
She looked up at the crowd and said, "Where are we going now, what are we going to do?" ”
"This matter is my fault, I should have explained it to the head of the family earlier." The Great Elder said with an apologetic look on his face: "We are here to go to the cave where the head of the family stayed before, and after coming back from there, you will be the real head of our Murong family." ”
"The real head of the house?"
The Great Elder affirmed, "Yes, our ancestors said that after finding the destined family master, we must let her go to the cave and get back the power that belongs to her. ”
“.…..” Mu Xiaochu said: "Great Elder, I am a little blinded by what you say, what power belongs to me?" I don't have any strength. ”
"No, what you have is in the cave, only by getting it, can you lead our Murong family to the highest peak." The second elder affirmed.
This matter was only known to the heads and elders of the previous generations, which was the main reason why there were only a few of them here.
"You think this is a fantasy world, and you have to take back the power." After hearing the answer, Mu Xiaochu was a little speechless.
Qi Ziyan on the side frowned, although he didn't know what the fantasy world in Mu Xiaochu's mouth meant, but he was also puzzled by what the Great Elder said, "I just want to know one thing, will there be any danger after Xiao Chu goes in." ”
"Our Murong family won't do anything to hurt the head of the family." The four elders were not happy when they heard this, and pulled their necks and said.
"Oh, yes." Qi Ziyan said with a hint of disdain in his voice: "Who set up an ambush on the way we came?" ”
After listening to Qi Ziyan's words, the four elders blushed, although Murong Quan was only a branch of the Murong family, but after all, he also occupied the name of the Murong family, so after hearing Qi Ziyan's yin and yang strange words, he really didn't know how to refute.
I was going to wait for the head of the house to have a chance to eat the pastries she made when he came out of the cave, but he died......
Damn Murong Quan, when he goes back, he must clean him up when he has time!
Seeing that the faces of the four elders turned red and turned white, Murong Feng on the side stepped forward and apologized, "Murong Quan's matter is our mistake, although he has no intention of harming others, but in the final analysis, it is still the mistake of our Murong family, and our Murong family will definitely give a satisfactory answer to the head of the family in this matter." ”
After hearing this, Qi Ziyan also nodded in agreement, he didn't intend to make things difficult for the Murong family, since he knew that Xiao Chu would not be in any danger after entering, then he had nothing to refute, after all, becoming the head of the Murong family meant that someone in the capital wanted to frame Xiao Chu in the future, and he would have to take care of the Murong family.
The Great Elder touched his small beard and looked at Mu Xiaochu and said, "Since there is no problem, then let's go in now?" ”
"Hmm." Mu Xiaochu nodded, then looked around and said, "However, where are we going to get in from?" ”
"The entrance is here." The Great Elder walked to a stone wall, and then pushed away the weeds that grew around, only to see a round protruding stone appear in front of him, and there was a small hole in the stone, and then the Great Elder took out the key that he had prepared a long time ago, put it on the hole, and turned it around.
With a bang, the stone wall in front of them began to move, and then a hole appeared.
Mu Xiaochu was surprised: "The stone wall there can actually be moved, it's really amazing. ”
Although Qi Ziyan was also surprised, it was only for a moment, and he quickly disappeared.
"Alright, we can go in." The Great Elder turned his head and said.
The first to go to the cave was the Great Elder, followed by Mu Xiaochu, but after seeing Qi Ziyan still holding Mu Xiaochu's waist and walking inside, the Third Elder behind him said, "Boss, is it okay for Yan Shizi to go in with us?" ”
After listening to it, as soon as Qi Ziyan's footsteps were heard, they were strong and irrefutable, and looked at the Great Elder and said, "I want to accompany Xiao Chu!" ”
Mu Xiaochu nodded and said, "Yes, I promised Yan and asked him to accompany me." ”
What responded to her was Qi Ziyan's hand tightening on her waist.
The Great Elder saw the interaction between the two and said, "Go ahead, since you can come out safely last time, then there will be nothing wrong this time." ”
After saying that, the Great Elder walked in with him.
When the second elder heard this, he had no objections.
The appearance of the cave they entered looked very similar to the terrain that Mu Xiaochu and the others had gone out before, if there was anything different, it was that the water here was crystal clear, but there was not even a single fish.
The Great Elder and his party had been walking quietly since they entered the cave, and they had not spoken again until they had come to the cave where they had been.
In the cave, the Great Elder said, "Okay, this is it." ”
Mu Xiaochu was approached by Qi Ziyan's hand and asked the Great Elder, "What do you need me to do?" ”
"Xiao Chu, wait a minute." The Great Elder said.
After the Great Elder finished speaking, the four of them each took out a stone from their sleeves, first cut a hole in their fingers with a knife, and then smeared blood on the stone, and then with a force, only to hear a 'plop', the four stones were thrown to the four corners of the cave.
Then the Great Elder said to Mu Xiaochu: "Okay, Xiao Chu can now go to the water and get back his own strength." ”
“.…..” Mu Xiaochu was puzzled: "Just go into the water?" ”
After speaking, he looked at the fish that kept opening its mouth as soon as the stone fell into the water, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, "Is it really okay?" ”
After Mu Xiaochu finished speaking, one fish after another jumped out of the water, opening their mouths wide, revealing the sharp jagged teeth inside.
It looks very infiltrating, isn't there?
Qi Ziyan also saw this scene, and obviously disagreed with what the Great Elder said about going directly into the water, and said, "Won't the fish in the water bite people because of what you just did?" ”
The four elders jumped violently and said: "How can there be danger, can't I just say it very clearly outside the cave, there is no danger, there is no danger, even if there is danger, it will not be the head of the head of the family!" ”
He continued: "And I need to let you know one thing, that is, everyone in our Murong Lord family can do whatever it takes for the head of the family!" ”
"......" Mu Xiaochu was a little embarrassed when he saw the four elders who were jumping violently, and then after hearing his words, he was inexplicably moved, and his eyes were firm: "I believe it, I believe that you will not harm me now." ”
She continued: "Do I need to stay in a fixed place when I enter the water, or can I go anywhere in the water?" ”
Qi Ziyan on the side frowned, and there was obvious irritability on his handsome face, he inexplicably felt that this matter was not as simple as they said, but it couldn't be said that there was anything wrong.
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Qi Ziyan said, "Xiao Chu, I'll go into the water with you later." "Only then can I rest assured.
"No, according to the words of the previous Great Elder, because I am the head of my Murong family, there is no problem for me to go into the water, but you ......"
Qi Ziyan interrupted her and said, "It's okay, you forgot that we also went into the water together before." ”
"But ......" Mu Xiaochu looked at the Great Elder and said, "Will it be okay to go down the water?" ”
"This ...... I'm sorry for the head of the house, but I'm not sure about this. The Great Elder said apologetically with an apologetic look on his face.
"Then it's decided, I'll accompany Xiao Chu later." Qi Ziyan affirmed.
“.…..” The Great Elder said: "Yan Shizi, it may have been an accident that you were able to go into the water before, but we have just activated the formation, so if you insist on going into the water, it is very likely that you will be ...... by the fish in the water Attack. ”
"Yan, then you still don't want to go down, I'll be alone." Mu Xiaochu was shocked when he heard this.
Those fish were scary just to look at, and if they attacked Yan, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Alright, let's stop wasting any more time, let's go quickly." After Qi Ziyan finished speaking, he took Mu Xiaochu's hand and walked to the water's edge.
"Boss, is this really okay?" The second elder looked worried.
The Great Elder sighed deeply and said, "Hey, maybe we're really old, maybe Yan Shizi is really fine when he goes into the water, besides, even if there is something, aren't there still the four of us old guys." ”
After hearing this, the other three all nodded, obviously agreeing with the Great Elder's words, but their eyes kept staring at the two people walking towards the water's edge, with a solemn face.
After the two walked to the water's edge, Qi Ziyan said: "I'll go into the water first, it's okay, you go down again." ”
Before Mu Xiaochu could say no, Qi Ziyan put one foot into the water, and unexpectedly, as soon as the foot fell into the water, the fish in the water gathered.
"Yan-" Mu Xiaochu exclaimed.
Seeing that the fish was just swimming at his feet, Qi Ziyan said, "It's okay." As he spoke, he put his other foot into the water.
After he stood in the water, Qi Ziyan stretched out his hand to her, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Come, Xiao Chu, I'll pull you down." ”
Mu Xiaochu handed her hand out, and soon she stood in the water.
The four people not far away were all relieved when they saw Qi Ziyan standing safely in the water.
Seeing that the two of them were in the water, the Great Elder took out an hourglass from his chest, and also said Mu Xiaochu's previous question by the way, "The head of the family only needs to stay in the water for a quarter of an hour, and the time for this hourglass to run out is exactly a quarter of an hour, as for the place, as long as it is in the water." ”
Mu Xiaochu looked at the hourglass on the shore and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Then he looked down at the fish gathered at their feet, took a deep breath and looked up to Qi Ziyan and said, "Yan, let's go forward." ”
"Okay." After Qi Ziyan finished speaking, he took Mu Xiaochu's hand and walked forward.
In the end, they walked all over the water, Mu Xiaochu saw that the fish were only gathering around them, and nothing happened, and he said to Qi Ziyan with crooked eyebrows: "Yan, there is nothing to do anymore, you see that they are very honest." ”
Looking at the fish swimming honestly around her feet, Mu Xiaochu actually despised his previous behavior of not daring to enter the water, but it was only for a moment.
Qi Ziyan also breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the fish had no ill will towards them.
Then I heard Mu Xiaochu say: "Yan, look, there is a colored fish around my feet." ”
Following the direction she pointed, Qi Ziyan really saw a golden fish, and the first thing that caught her eye was the pearl on its head, which was also golden.
The four elders on the shore were all surprised when they saw the fish, because they had never heard of a golden fish here!
However, this fish was just an episode, and it was soon forgotten by Mu Xiaochu.
When she saw that there wasn't much left of the hourglass, she said, "Yan, let's go to the shore first, the time is almost up." ”
Qi Ziyan also looked at the hourglass and said, "Okay." ”
But just as they were about to go back, an accident happened.
I saw the water form a whirlpool at a speed visible to the naked eye, and hit them.
Seeing this, Qi Ziyan was shocked, and tightly took Mu Xiaochu's hand and walked to the shore, with a panic on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Mu Xiaochu was also very panicked, and quickly kept up with Qi Ziyan's pace.
Walking to the shore, Qi Ziyan looked at the whirlpool behind him that was getting closer and closer to them; "Xiao Chu, you go up first."
"Ahh
