Chapter 522: Encounter with the Monsoon Wind
Gu Chen, Rong Qingya, and the stone man walked through the ice wall together.
The scene in front of them was that Gu Chen and Rong Qingya were shocked at the same time.
It turned out to be a palace made of ice.
The ice wall is like the gate of a palace.
Eight towering icicles support the roof of the palace.
At the top, there is a throne carved from ice.
There was a pool in the center of the main hall, and it was strange that the water in the pool did not freeze in this cold palace.
In the center of the pool floated a transparent ice coffin, and a figure dressed in white could be faintly seen lying inside.
"Could it be that senior is in the ice coffin?" Rong Qingya and Gu Chen glanced at each other and said.
Gu Chen didn't answer, but slowly walked towards the pool.
Seeing this, Rong Qingya hurriedly followed.
After getting closer, Gu Chen had already seen the face of the person in the coffin.
The man was an old man, tall and thin, dressed in white, with white hair and beard, pale complexion, and faintly blue skin.
"He's already dead!, but it seems that he just died!" Gu Chen said with a frown.
"What did you say, you just died?" Rong Qingya asked Gu Chen with a shocked expression.
"Yes, I feel that the vitality on his body has not completely dissipated, this is the performance of a person who has just died!" Gu Chen nodded and said.
Rong Qingya said with a look of disbelief: "How is this possible? Isn't he the senior of our Bodhi Sect? That senior is a figure from more than five hundred years ago, how can he survive for so long!"
"Just ask the stupid big one!" Gu Chen said with a glance back at the stone man.
At this time, the stone man had already walked over by himself, and his expression was dull, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the figure in the coffin.
Then, the stone man stretched out his arm and scooped the ice coffin out of the pool and gently placed it on the ground.
"Old ...... Great ......" the stone man lifted the lid of the coffin and shouted to the person in the coffin.
Gu Chen and Rong Qingya were already convinced at this time that this person must be the person from the Bodhi Sect!
"He's dead!" Gu Chen said to the stone man.
"Dead ...... The stone man glanced at Gu Chen in disbelief, and then stared at the person in the coffin.
At this moment, the ice wall behind the throne above suddenly trembled, and the ice wall slowly opened to both sides, like a door, to both sides.
There was a slight sound of footsteps in the door.
Gu Chen and Rong Qingya glanced at each other, and their expressions gradually became solemn.
Anyone else here?
At this time, a figure dressed in white, with a face like jade, appeared next to the throne, and the door behind the throne slowly closed.
"Senior brother?" Rong Qingya looked at the man with a shocked expression and called out to him.
The man was stunned for a moment, glanced at Rong Qingya suspiciously, and then showed a sudden look, and smiled at Rong Qingya: "It turned out to be a junior sister!"
"Senior brother, it's really you!" Rong Qingya said with a look of surprise.
Gu Chen also saw the person's appearance clearly at this time, he turned out to be Ji Ruofeng, the young master of the Bodhi Sect.
Ji Ruofeng slowly walked in front of Rong Qingya, glanced at Gu Chen intentionally or unintentionally, but did not take the initiative to say hello.
Gu Chen couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart, how could this guy be here? And how do I feel that this guy is a little strange today? Ji Ruofeng is usually a knowledgeable and gentle person, except for the fact that he likes to fight when facing the edge of the sky, but he is very humble in front of others, and now, his own Pantheistic Sect Leader is standing in front of him, he doesn't even say hello! Even if he has an opinion about me in his heart, he shouldn't behave like this!
"Senior brother, this is the Master of the Pantheistic Sect, thanks to his help, the little sister was lucky enough to escape from the hands of that tentacle monster. Seeing this, Rong Qingya hurriedly said to Ji Ruofeng.
Ji Ruofeng nodded thoughtfully, and then smiled at Gu Chen: "Thank you Sect Master Gu for saving my junior sister!"
"Ji Gongzi is polite, it is the duty of my generation of cultivators to draw a sword to help when the road is uneven!" Gu Chen replied with a smile.
At this moment, Gu Chen suddenly felt a dazzling golden light coming from behind him.
Gu Chen and Rong Qingya turned around and looked at the light source at the same time.
I saw a golden relic floating above the stone man's head.
Ji Ruofeng's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a look of surprise, and then he raised his hand with a move, and the relic turned into a golden light and shot into Ji Ruofeng's hand.
"Hey, isn't this relic the thing of that senior, why can Senior Brother control it?" Rong Qingya said to Ji Ruofeng in surprise.
Ji Ruofeng's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Oh, I came here by accident, and met that Yan Xiu senior, and through talking to him, I learned that he turned out to be the senior master of my Bodhi Sect! He learned that his longevity was almost exhausted, so he handed over his inheritance to me, including the Buddha seal that controlled this saint-level relic! After the inheritance was delivered, that senior had already passed away, if only the senior sister had come one step earlier!"
"Alas!" Ji Ruofeng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh after speaking.
Rong Qingya comforted Ji Ruofeng: "Life and death are fate, senior brother doesn't need to be too sad, maybe this ending is the best for Yan Xiu's seniors! At least, he waited for his senior brother at the last moment of his life and handed over his inheritance!"
"Young Master Ji, I don't know what kind of realm that Yan Xiu senior reached during his lifetime?" Gu Chen asked Ji Ruofeng.
"Senior Yan Xiu is a Saint Realm powerhouse!" Ji Ruofeng replied with a smile, faintly revealing a sense of pride.
Gu Chen nodded and said, "Holy Realm, no wonder he has survived since five hundred years ago! But it is really shocking that he can break through to the Holy Realm in the Secret Realm of the Ruins!"
"Yes, he should be the person who has survived the longest in the Secret Realm of the Ruins throughout the ages!This Ice Palace is where he has always lived!" Ji Ruofeng said with a smile.
Gu Chen said a little strangely: "The Bodhi Sect pays attention to tranquility and inaction, why does he want to build a gorgeous palace here? And this throne! Its momentum is not inferior to the Demon Emperor throne in the Demon Emperor Palace of the East China Sea Demon Clan! Could it be that he wants to emulate the Demon Clan and establish an empire?"
Ji Ruofeng's eyes flashed, he glanced at Gu Chen deeply, and then waved his hand and said with a smile: "This, I don't know below, maybe it's because I've been too lonely all these years, and Yan Xiu's predecessors have been bored to build this palace! Maybe it's not what Sect Master Gu thinks!"
"Maybe!" Gu Chen shook his head and smiled.
"There are no secrets here, why don't we just go out and don't disturb Yan Xiu's predecessors to rest in peace! Although I have obtained all the inheritance of Yan Xiu's predecessors, since Sect Leader Gu has come here after all the hard work, I will naturally not let you go home empty-handed!
This sharp horn is about two feet long, and its whole body is blue, and it constantly brazes with the cold air of the forest, which makes people shiver.
Gu Chen's eyes lit up when he saw it, such a powerful cold aura, and it was extremely similar to Chen Qiong's glass dragon power, could it be that this was the sharp horn on the glass dragon's head?
With such a treasure, Gu Chen naturally had no reason not to accept it, so he quickly took it from Ji Ruofeng's hand, and then said to Ji Ruofeng: "Then thank you Ji Gongzi!"
Ji Ruofeng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sect Master Gu is polite, although this treasure is precious, but Sect Master Gu can come here, he must be a person of fate, if he doesn't come first, maybe everything here will belong to Sect Master Gu! Moreover, Sect Master Gu has a life-saving grace for my junior sister, so he will naturally not be stingy!"
Gu Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, then let's leave!"
After speaking, Gu Chen took the lead and walked towards the ice wall.
But when he walked to the entrance of the cave that was forcibly broken by Gu Chen, Gu Chen couldn't help but look back, and the stone man was still sitting next to the ice coffin in a daze.
"Silly big man, it's time to go!Your friend is dead, you can let him rest here in peace!" Gu Chen shouted at the stone man.
But the stone man was unmoved, before, the relics were taken away by Ji Ruofeng, and they were all unresponsive, as if they couldn't accept that Yan Xiu had died, and their hearts were hit by a huge blow.
Ji Ruofeng glanced at the stone man deeply, then sighed lightly and said, "Let it be! I can see that it has a deep affection for Yan Xiu's seniors, so let it accompany Yan Xiu's seniors more!"
Rong Qingya said with a worried face: "However, we just left it here alone, if it didn't take any protective measures when it left, wouldn't the body of Yan Xiu's predecessor be infested by monsters in the underground world in the future?"
Ji Ruofeng comforted Rong Qingya: "Don't worry, it's very smart, and it will definitely be handled properly! Besides, people die like lights going out, presumably Yan Xiu's predecessors won't care about what happens after him." ”
Gu Chen glanced at Ji Ruofeng strangely again, he always felt that Ji Ruofeng was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.
Subsequently, Gu Chen, Rong Qingya, and Ji Ruofeng returned along the same road, without disturbing the stone man, leaving him alone in the Ice Palace.
"Huh! this is!" Ji Ruofeng suddenly looked at the Soul Draining Sable in Rong Qingya's arms with a shocked expression.
"Oh, this is my new pet, its name is Xiaobai!" Rong Qingya replied with a smile.
"Pet ...... Pet, this little thing is so fast, how did you catch it and make it recognize its owner?" Ji Ruofeng asked Rong Qingya in disbelief.
"Senior brother, have you seen Xiaobai before, how do you know that it is fast?" Rong Qingya looked at Ji Ruofeng curiously and asked him.
"Ahem!" Ji Ruofeng's face changed, and then he coughed lightly twice and said, "Oh, senior sister guessed right, I saw it on the second floor when I came!"
"I see!" Rong Qingya suddenly realized, and then said: "It was Sect Master Gu who helped me catch Xiaobai, and later Xiaobai took the initiative to sign a soul contract with me and became my pet!"
Ji Ruofeng glanced at Gu Chen deeply when he heard this, but Gu Chen noticed it, and immediately met his gaze, and glanced at Ji Ruofeng, the moment their eyes met, the two of them were shocked at the same time, and then smiled slightly in tacit understanding.
"Sect Master Gu is really a real person!" Ji Ruofeng praised Gu Chen.
"Ji Gongzi has won the award, this should be said to Ji Gongzi next!" Gu Chen replied with a smile.
"Okay, okay, don't compliment each other!" Rong Qingya hurriedly interrupted, and then asked Ji Ruofeng, "By the way, Senior Brother, why are you here alone? What about Master and the two elders?"
Ji Ruofeng shook his head and said, "I was separated from them when I was on the first layer, and now I don't know where they are!"
"Then what should we do, are we going up to find them?" Rong Qingya asked Ji Ruofeng.
Ji Ruofeng waved his hand and said: "No, their target is also deep underground, as long as we go all the way down, I believe that we will definitely be able to meet them!"
"Oh, what does Ji Gongzi mean, there is a fourth layer down here?" Gu Chen asked Ji Ruofeng curiously.
Ji Ruofeng said with a smile: "I have obtained the inheritance of Yan Xiu's predecessors below, so I naturally know more!
