Chapter 36 and Chapter 4 Nine Palace Formation in the One Lake

Mu Qianmei sat on the python and galloped from the treetops of the forest, looking from a distance, it was like a beautiful girl flying over the dragon, and like a queen riding her own mount to patrol her territory.

"Is this a fake snake?" Mu Qianmei thought to herself.

The wind in her ears was blowing, this speed was a few points faster than Mu Qianmei's own light skills, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she could still bear it.

After a few bends, the python came to a quiet Grand Canyon, where the mountain is not steep and the trees are not dense, but all kinds of trees are scattered, and the spring water in the mountain flows quietly, which is in stark contrast to the big waterfall, where the atmosphere is spectacular, here is quiet and beautiful, relatively speaking, this side is more suitable for living.

When passing through the fauna and entering this canyon, no other animal dares to approach, and it seems that this is also a special territory.

The python is so familiar with the rush here, it can be seen that this is also the place where it often comes, is it another python's territory?

Mu Qianmei was puzzled in her heart, and at the same time a little nervous, if it was another python, would it still be full of kindness to herself?

After the python took Mu Qianmei into the canyon, it slowed down, and when it reached a place with open vision, it took Mu Qianmei to the ground, and then meandered towards a cave halfway up the mountainside.

When it reached the entrance of the cave, it stopped, and Mu Qianmei also jumped off its back.

At this moment, out of the cave came an old man dressed in golden clothes, who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, and although he was dressed gorgeously, he looked a little sickly.

Around his neck, there was also a petite golden python, very beautiful, but it was also in poor spirits, hanging lazily around his neck like that.

The elder has a calm footsteps, a noble temperament on his body, cold eyes, indifferent expressions, and a natural kingly spirit.

He looked at Mu Qianmei, there was a natural coldness in her eyes, Mu Qianmei inexplicably felt a cold feeling in her body, she felt that this was not like the eyes that a person should have.

Could it be because he has been dealing with snakes for a long time, so his eyes have also been affected by snakes, so when he looks at him, he will have the illusion of being targeted by snakes?

Mu Qianmei had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't speak, her expression was still indifferently waiting for him to speak.

Seeing Mu Qianmei so calm, he finally said hoarsely in a strange voice:

"You're the first human to come here, and you can see that Jade has a crush on you, can you tell me where you said you came from?"

His voice was also cold, as if he spoke without any emotion, but his words let Mu Qianmei know that the beautiful python that brought her here was called Jade, and the name was indeed worthy of its name, and the body was really as green as jade.

Mu Qianmei replied speciously:

"I was caught in a storm on a boat ride at sea, and I was somehow swept into the cave behind the waterfall, so I came here."

The old man muttered to himself:

"It turns out that Guiyi Lake is connected to the sea!"

When Mu Qianmei heard this name, she couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Are you saying that the lake in the cave behind the waterfall is called Guiyi Lake? It's a strange name! ”

The old man nodded and replied:

"Yes, that's Guiyi Lake, I once went deep inside, it's a lake outside, yes, but go inside, there are a lot of criss-crossing forks inside, I have been trapped in it for many years, how can I get out, just like a natural labyrinth, those years I was trapped inside, I counted carefully, there are nine routes in the vertical and horizontal, nine hundred and eighty-one crossings, due to the criss-crossing, the routes are very similar, and the route is very long, going around, quickly getting lost, it is difficult to get out."

In the words, there seems to be some palpitations, it can be seen that he has had a hard time in the years he was trapped, although I don't know how long the many years he said, but presumably the time will not be too short.

After a pause, he continued:

"Later, it was a pure coincidence, I finally walked out, and when I turned around, I saw three words written at the entrance, which is called Guiyi Lake, which probably means ninety-nine to one!"

Hearing him say this, Mu Qianmei was both relieved and inexplicably worried, fortunately she didn't rush in, otherwise she would definitely be trapped inside, worried, I don't know if Liu Tingfeng is trapped there, what if she is trapped inside?

Seeing Mu Qianmei's uncertain expression, the old man asked thoughtfully:

"Are you still with a companion, not sure if you're trapped inside?"

Mu Qianmei nodded and said:

"Yes, I was swept away by a storm from the sea with my junior brother, I was lucky enough to have crossed the lake, and when I woke up, I was already on the shore, but I didn't see my junior brother, I was worried about whether he was trapped in that Nine Palace Array!"

"If that's the case, I can help you check it, I've been trapped for so many years, and after I came out, I drew a map of the terrain inside, and then I went in again, and it didn't feel so difficult to get out, if he was really trapped inside, I would definitely be able to find him, but if he was accidentally stumbled into and he went out from another exit, then there was no way, there were a total of thirty-six exits from this lake, and each exit would go to a different place, and our side was just one of the exits, I didn't know where the other exits would lead, so I couldn't find them. ”

Mu Qianmei didn't expect that this old man with cold eyes and an indifferent expression was actually a warm-hearted person, so she immediately bowed and saluted:

"Then thank you first, I just need to make sure if he is still trapped in Guiyi Lake, if he finds it, it is good, if he can't find it, it means that he has gone out, I am much more relieved to be able to go out, and I can look for it slowly in the future."

The old man shook his head, still in a hoarse voice:

"It's just a gesture, no need to thank you, I'm bored in this cave all day, and it's good to go out occasionally to exercise my muscles and bones, otherwise, this body is getting worse and worse. By the way, everyone here is used to calling me the snake king, what is the name of the little girl? ”

Mu Qianmei replied respectfully:

"The little woman's name is Mu Qianmei, maybe, for the predecessors of the Snake King, entering Guiyi Lake is just a matter of effort, but for me, it is the adventure of nine deaths and a lifetime, so Qianmei is still very grateful for the help of the predecessors of the Snake King."

The Snake King looked at Mu Qianmei and said in a calm voice:

"The little girl's physical fitness looks good, and she has also practiced martial arts, right?"

Mu Qianmei thought of the gap between herself and Jade, and immediately replied humbly:

"I've learned a little bit of superficial martial arts, but it's just to strengthen my body."

Unexpectedly, the snake king also agreed and said:

"Well, it is very important for people to live and have a strong body, it can be seen that you have a good foundation, okay, after standing outside for so long, let's go to the cave and talk!"

After speaking, she turned around and led the way, and walked into the cave again, Mu Qianmei followed in without hesitation, here, she knew that if the other party wanted to harm herself, she would not have any chance to escape at all, it was better to enter calmly, maybe she could know more information about this world from the other party's mouth.

Walking into the cave, Mu Qianmei's first feeling is that it is very wide, although the entrance of the cave is not big, it is only more than ten meters wide, twenty or thirty meters high, but as soon as she walks into the cave, it is seven or eight hundred meters wide, it is estimated that the depth of two or three thousand meters, and the height is about two hundred meters.

Near the left, there is a large hall made of stone and wood, which looks like a palace, and there is a large chair made of stone, like a dragon chair, and below is the empty ground, and the pillars made of wood are not painted, so it looks relatively simple.

On the right, against the stone wall, there is a stone house that looks like a living room, with a few tables and chairs made of stone, and it is estimated that it looks a little rough because no one has sat on it for many years.

Originally, the stone cave was cooler than the outside, but the inside was a little colder than the ordinary stone cave, Mu Qianmei had a feeling of being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and her heart was a little inexplicable.

At the invitation of the Snake King, Mu Qianmei and the Snake King sat together on the stone leaning in the living room, and on the stone table in front of them, there was a plate of fresh fruits, with wild peaches and plums, and some fruits that Mu Qianmei couldn't name, which looked very attractive.

The jade had already entered the cave, and it lay quietly on the ground next to the table.

The snake king pointed to the fruit on the stone table and said to Mu Qianmei:

"Little girl, you're welcome, these fruits are common things in the forest, we don't like to eat them, you can eat them if you like."

Mu Qianmei was not polite, and after saying thank you, she really picked up a peach and took a bite, it felt crisp and sweet, as if it was a little better than any fruit she had eaten before.

After Mu Qianmei finished eating a peach, the snake king spoke:

"This forest is called the Nine Star Forest, because from the sky down, there are a total of nine lakes in this forest, scattered in different places throughout the forest, as if nine stars are scattered in the forest, so it is named the Nine Star Forest."

"This forest is inaccessible, in addition to being relatively remote here, the more important reason is that there are many animals in it, and ordinary people dare not enter it without permission, otherwise they may encounter danger at any time, especially in this central area, there are almost no human figures, so you can get lost in the sea, and inexplicably appear to the shore of Guiyi Lake, it is really an incredible thing."

"The big waterfall outside Guiyi Lake is called Yunxi Waterfall, doesn't the little girl feel very spectacular?"
