Chapter 14: The Underwater Dragon Palace
"Ah--Ah, Ah, Ah-"
The sleeping Chu Xuanming was awakened from his slumber, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw many people scattered with white bones around him, and his heart was horrified: he was dead after all. Seeing Ishihara wiping his nose on one side, he exclaimed:
"Ishihara, you're dead too?!"
"What nonsense! Where did I die, I just caught a cold!Ahh
Chu Xuanming slowly got up, only to feel a sour taste between his mouth and nose, it seems that he drank a lot of dirty water in the river, coughed twice, cleared his throat and said:
"And what are these bones?"
"The bones of the dead, what is there to be surprised, look far away, there are more strange. Ishihara looked into the distance at this time, as if he was out of his mind.
Chu Xuanming looked up at this time and was stunned.
I saw piles of white bones scattered on a field, which was full of strange rocks, but there was no grass, and it was desolate and silent.
The vast field extends to a dilapidated palace, although the palace is dilapidated, but from a distance, the red bricks and green tiles, the gold is splendid, the complex is magnificent, the large and small halls are staggered, and the majestic main hall is straight into the sky.
Although these are magnificent, but the most surprising thing for Chu Xuanming is that the sky above the high main hall is shining, but it is not a blue sky, but a river hanging in the sky, the river hangs upside down, and the sunlight that shines down is layered, shaking and swaying, and the whole heaven and earth are illuminated with thousands of colors, which seem to be real and illusory, like a camouflage fairyland.
The junction of the river and the air in the sky seems to be isolated by an invisible force, and if you look at the terrain, the whole field and palace are like this. This small world is impressively surrounded by a huge invisible bubble. Here, under the river!
"Underwater Dragon Palace!How did we get here?" Chu Xuanming couldn't help but exclaim!
"I don't know, but I vaguely remember being slapped into the water by the waves, swallowed by a huge strange fish, and waking up here. Ishihara Chong Chu Xuanming smiled helplessly.
"That's really strange, haha, so many strange things in a row, why am I still suspicious!"
Chu Xuanming was originally cheerful and curious. After experiencing a series of strange things, and seeing this magnificent palace, I suddenly felt that the world was vast and boundless, and there were countless strange things, so why should I care about these trivial knots, travel through mountains and rivers, and appreciate all the novelty and beauty of the world.
"Ishihara, shall we take a look?"
"What's so nice to see, it's just a pile of broken bricks and tiles, it's so scary on the outside, and I don't know what else is scary inside. Ishihara muttered.
"That's not necessarily, you see that this must be the underwater Dragon Palace, they all say that the daughter of the Dragon King is beautiful and numerous, and the treasures are like stars, maybe go in and seal you as a son-in-law of the Dragon Palace, and then give you a treasure like a mountain." β
"Don't come to bluff me, how can there be a dragon king's own house that collapses and doesn't repair it, and the yard is so terrifying that he doesn't clean it, I don't know what demons and monsters are inside!"
"Ha, then you can stay here, watch me go to be a son-in-law, and enjoy Qingfu-" After speaking, he didn't care about Ishihara, and strode towards the majestic palace.
Ishihara cursed for a while, and had no choice but to follow behind Chu Xuanming.
Chu Xuanming walked in front of him, and under his feet, the dry bones and stumps were occasionally stepped on, instantly turned into powder, turned into dust, and the accumulated bones seemed to have existed for thousands of years, and he couldn't help but be curious: Is this a hell of a nose, or is it really an underwater dragon palace?
Chu Xuanming walked to the front of the palace, only to see two main doors as high as ten zhang erected in front of him, the red paint on the door has faded, the carved gold silk dragon wanders around, lifelike, the top of the door hangs a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with two big characters 'Tian'.
"Oh my God, why isn't it the Dragon Palace?" Chu Xuanming said curiously.
"You ask me what I do, I should ask you that the old man of the dragon king is right!" Ishihara was afraid that he would step on dry bones all the way, and he walked on tiptoe, and his feet hurt at this time, so how could he be angry.
The crack in the door was hidden, Chu Xuanming pushed hard, the door was extremely heavy, and he didn't move at all, so he had to enter sideways.
Behind the door, a white jade paved staircase spreads diagonally upward, straight and long, like a ladder to heaven. On both sides of the ladder, the side halls are arranged one after another, and they are neat and level. A huge square at the end of the ladder slowly appeared with the jade steps, and a thick pillar on the huge altar in the center of the square, the golden dragon plated pillar, was broken in half and poured on the altar.
Behind the altar is the tall palace that I saw at the beginning and towered into the "Tianhe", there is a plaque at the palace gate, the word "Tianwei" is written on it, the palace gate collapses, the gilded copper tiles are scattered all over the place, only a beam and pillar support a gap that can be entered by people.
Chu Xuanming and Shi Yuan entered the hall successively, but saw that the cloud top sandalwood in the hall was made of beams, the crystal jade bi was the lamp, the pearl was the curtain, and Fan Jin was the pillar base. There is a huge bright moon pearl hanging on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining brightly, like a bright moon. The ground is paved with white jade, embedded with gold beads, chiseled into a lotus, the flowers become the appearance of a five-stemmed lotus, the petals are fresh and exquisite, even the stamens are delicate and recognizable, and the shoes can also feel a little warm and moist when stepping on, and they are actually chiseled into Lantian warm jade.
The palace was intact, and it was as luxurious and gorgeous as it was!
Chu Xuanming was amazed, but Ishihara didn't care about those, he aimed at the bright moon pearl with a large human head on the dome of the hall, found a place to climb, and climbed up, the dome was like a semi-circular pot lid under the cover, how could it be so easy to climb, tried a few times, and fell down, the bright moon pearl didn't reach his hand, and his buttocks almost fell into eight petals.
"You're right, the baby is there, it's just that the fuck is hanging so high, how can I take it if I call Shi Ye!"
"Ha, insatiable, I see, hanging so high is to prevent a thief like you. β
"Who is the thief! You can see that there is half a living man here, and it has long been ownerless, and if I don't take it off, there will be a day when such a good treasure will be restored." Ishihara looked angry, and suddenly remembered something, and ran straight to the stairs of the hall, and after a while ran back with a dejected face, and sat lazily on the huge bed, and complained:
"The staircase is sealed by big stones, and I don't know how many treasures there will be in such a tall main building. Ahh
Chu Xuanming's face was helpless, and Ishihara suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Why am I so stupid, there are so many ear rooms and side halls outside, maybe there are some treasures there." With that, he ran out.
There are many side halls and small rooms in the "Dragon Palace", but Ishihara has a natural instinct for treasures, and almost at first glance he found the location of the treasure: Nabao Hall.
There is also a side room next to the Nabao Palace, and the plaque in the partial room reads: Najing Pavilion, Ishihara came in a hurry, but missed the Nabao Palace, and ran directly into the Najing Pavilion.
"Hey, Ishihara, you're on the wrong track!" Chu Xuanming shouted, but Ishihara ignored him.
Chu Xuanming scolded "stupid", and was about to enter the Najing Pavilion with him, but when he saw Ishihara running out again, his expression was extremely lost, and he muttered to himself in a low voice:
"It's gone!
"Of course not, what you want is next door!"
Shi Yuan looked extremely disappointed and sad, and Chu Xuanming didn't want to laugh at him anymore, and his mind was full of thoughts at this time: This is the Najing Pavilion, maybe there is some immortal cultivation secret book hidden, if you have one or two volumes of it to learn by yourself, it is better than doing nothing like this.
Thinking of this, I didn't care about Ishihara, so I went to the Najing Pavilion to find it.
Outside the Najing Pavilion look at this is just a small ear room, but into the inside to see, only to know that this Jing Pavilion is really not small, although the width is only two zhang, the length is more than 30 zhang, several rows of storage partitions, has been extended to the end of the pavilion. Most of the places on the partitions where books should have been placed were empty, with only the occasional few volumes scattered around them.
Chu Xuanming went to read them one by one, but the remaining basic ancient books were either moth-eaten and corrupted, or they described the hydrology and geography of Kyushu, and there was no method of cultivating the truth!
Chu Xuanming picked up the last ancient book, which recorded the geography of the forest in ancient times, and the tattered and broken top could not be seen clearly, so he had to put it back on the second grid of the partition nearby, and had no choice but to walk out of the pavilion. Just as he walked to the back of the door, he happened to look back and saw that the book that had been placed on the second compartment had suddenly disappeared!
Chu Xuanming was shocked into a cold sweat, he couldn't be wrong about what he had just done: the book must have been taken!
"Who! anyone, is anyone there?" echoed Chu Xuanming's shouts in the empty pavilion.
He shouted twice, but there was no response, thinking of the pile of white bones outside the palace, he couldn't help but feel more and more weak in his heart, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he ran to the Nabao Hall next door.
When I ran into the Nabao Hall, I saw that the hall was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and Ishihara was standing on a pile of jewels, stuffing all kinds of treasures into his body. Chu Xuanming ran to the nearest place and grabbed Shi Yuan, and said hurriedly:
"Let's go, there's weirdness!"
"Weird?!Oh, weird, what's not weird here, I'm startled by you!" Ishihara said, picking up a handful of jewels and tucking them into his sleeves, but the sleeves were full, and they slipped out again after a few tuckles, and finally, he pulled the belt of his trousers and stuffed them into the crotch one by one.
is more eccentric than elves, Yun Shaoqing and Shi Yuan are far inferior to Chu Xuanming, at this time, he saw that shouting "weird" did not work, and immediately shouted in a long voice:
"Hellβ!" After shouting, he didn't even care about Ishihara, and ran to the door himself.
As soon as Ishihara heard the word "ghost," he ran out like a fried old cat, and he ran out with a "wow," but at this time his belt was not yet fastened, so he had to run wildly with his pants in his hands! The speed was so fast, Chu Xuanming was taken aback: a person who loves only his life can go to such a point, and he really wants to go up and give him a kick.
As soon as Ishihara arrived at the door, he shouted "ghost" again, it turned out that at this time there was a man in green clothes wearing a hat standing at the door, this person acted like a ghost, Chu Xuanming kept staring at the door and ran out, but he didn't know when the man wearing the hat stood there.
Seeing this, Ishihara turned around and was about to run back, but he rushed out too violently, and he turned back and sent the big chubby ass to the hat monster, and the hat monster flew up and kicked it, and Ishihara flew back to the jewel pile with an "oh roar."
"Who are you?!" Chu Xuanming saw that he was indiscriminate like a friend, and his heart was full of anger.
"Hey, hey... The two little ghosts have some ability, and they can actually run here, but it's a pity-" The strange man spoke sharply and hoarsely, but unfortunately the two words were stretched extremely long, and suddenly, the whisper turned into a deep voice, and with a wave of his right hand, he said fiercely: "I met the old man!"
The strange man just waved slightly, but brought a gust of wind towards Chu Xuanming, slapping him into the wall of the hall. Immediately afterwards, the hall shook violently, and the floating dust accumulated on the roof and beams fell one after another, and in an instant, the huge red beam on the roof broke, the earth collapsed, and the house collapsed, pressing Chu Xuanming and the two inside......
