Chapter Seventy-Five: Nanzhao, Sculpture in the Heart of the Lake

It's nearly evening, and the setting sun bathes the whole world in dusk.

The huge lake sparkled as if it were burning in the reflection of light, and in the middle of the lake, a life-tall statue stood alone.

The sculpture is a woman holding a short staff in one hand, her body is lifelike, but the lower half of her body is a snake body, submerged under the surface of the lake.

The wooden sword landed, and Wu Xingzhi and his party stepped on the ground.

"This is the boundary of Nanzhao Kingdom?" Zhao Ling'er looked around curiously, and took a deep breath of the moist air by the lake, "Grandma always said that the scenery of Nanzhao Kingdom is beautiful, but it's a pity that I was too young when I left Nanzhao Kingdom, and I don't remember it." ”

She opened her arms and turned around, closing her eyes: "I didn't expect that in just one day, I would go from Xianling Island to Nanzhao Kingdom, if grandma heard it, she would be very surprised." ”

Wu Xingzhi smiled and said, "The scenery here is really good, but I'm not here because of the lakeside scenery. ”

His gaze went through the water, into the depths of the lake.

"The last of the five spirit beads, the water spirit beads, is in this lake."

Zhao Ling'er hurriedly opened her eyes and exclaimed: "Grandma said that the water spirit bead is in the body of the water demon beast, and the water demon beast is controlled by the villain of the moon worship sect master, but this place is deserted, and there is no trace of people at all." ”

"Isn't there a sculpture in the center of the lake?" Xiaoqing pointed to the center of the lake and said with great interest: "It looks like a snake demon, it's really interesting, this person from Nanzhao Kingdom will actually set up a statue for a snake demon?" However, standing alone in the middle of the lake does not know what it means. ”

"It's not a basilis." Li Xiaoyao suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Xiaoqing looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Look, it's obviously a snake tail." ”

"That's how my tail looks, but if you just use the lower half of your body to change back to its original shape and walk upright, ......"

She tilted her head and thought, "You must be tired, right?" ”

"The snake tail is not necessarily the snake demon." Li Xiaoyao explained: "There are not a few snake-tailed human beings that I know, such as the Great Reckless Snake God. ”

Xiaoqing suddenly said: "Yes, that guy is indeed a snake tail." ”

She stuck out her tongue and said indignantly: "Hmph, you actually want to treat my sister as a mount, and he deserves it?" ”

"It's almost the same as being a father-in-law."

Bai Suzhen: "......"

Wu Xingzhi raised his hand and was furious, and scolded with a smile: "I don't have this kind of habit, I have hands and feet, I can walk by myself, and I don't need a mount." ”

"Who said that the mount can only travel." Xiaoqing covered her head and muttered: "Isn't it still possible to ride?" ”

"Little Green !!!" Bai Suzhen's face was flushed, and she rushed over to cover Xiaoqing's mouth.

"You won't listen to those storytellers in the future, and those who make up stories are not good people!"

"In short, this is in the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom, and this snake body is a woman, I estimate that this is the descendant of Nuwa in the legend of Nanzhao Kingdom." Li Xiaoyao didn't pay attention to the fight of the two daughters, but just continued.

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Ling'er.

When Zhao Ling'er heard the word Nuwa's descendants, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked, "You mean, this is the portrait of Nuwa's descendants?" ”

She looked at the sculpture in the center of the lake, looking at that face, but felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, modelling the lake, she always felt that this face appeared in her memory.

Thinking so, her eyes suddenly became cloudy.

Nuwa's descendants, lakes, water monsters.

"This is the place where the witch queen suppressed the water monsters, right?" Wu Xingzhi got closer, patted Zhao Ling'er on the back, and said: "Worship the moon and summon the water demon beast to flood the Nanzhao country, and the witch queen will fight the water demon beast in order to save the country, and turn into a stone wither to suppress it." ”

"Ling'er, this should be your mother."

Zhao Ling'er's body was weak, as if her strength had been withdrawn, Wu Xingzhi hurriedly supported her, and sighed slightly, he was not good at comforting people, only good at killing, so he comforted: "Don't worry, I will completely kill the water demon beast and let you come here to worship with the head of the moon." ”

I don't know if the comfort worked, Zhao Linger's sobbing gradually became quieter.

Waiting for the other party to stand up straight, Wu Xing knew: "I'll go underwater first, and lure out the water monster, you stay away, I guess this water monster should not be booed." ”

After speaking, Wu Xingzhi jumped directly into the water, and the light around him suddenly dimmed, but with Wu Xingzhi's eyesight, the scenery at the bottom of the lake was unobstructed.

The strange thing is that Wu Xingzhi didn't see any life in the water, let alone big fish, even small fish couldn't see it, and the bottom of the lake was just an empty piece of sand and gravel, with no grass.

The lake is full of life, but the water is like a dead place.

Wu Xingzhi wandered quickly at the bottom of the lake without believing in evil, carefully sweeping every inch of the bottom of the lake, but found nothing.

It was as if there was nothing in the lake except for the sculpture in the middle of the lake.

"It's weird, the qi induction of the water spirit bead is obviously here."

Wu Xingzhi frowned, the qi induction would not be wrong, but even if Wu Xingzhi arrived at the exact location of the qi induction, it was just an empty lake.

"Formation?"

After thinking about it, Wu Xingzhi swam back to the shore, and when he saw that the four of them were far away, he shook his head at them and said, "It's a little troublesome." ”

"What's wrong?" Xiaoqing hurriedly asked.

"There seems to be a formation inside, I didn't find anything." He spoke: "If I go to break the formation, with my means, it will inevitably destroy the sculptures in the lake. ”

He glanced at Zhao Ling'er, the other party had already wiped away his tears at this time, but his expression was still sad, so he continued: "White girl, Li Xiaoyao, do you have any research on the formation?" ”

Bai Suzhen shook her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, I've never studied it. ”

Wu Xingzhi looked at Li Xiaoyao, Li Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, and said: "I can see clearly the formation in the lake, there are two layers of formation, one layer is inside, the core is the statue in the lake, the other layer is outside, and the range is the entire lake." ”

"The power system of the two-layer formation is completely different, it is estimated that the inner formation is used by the descendants of Nuwa to suppress the water demonic beast, and at this time there is not much power left, and the outer layer is more like the protection and cultivation of the water demonic beast, and at the same time, it is also constantly corroding the formation laid by the descendants of the inner layer of Nuwa, I estimate that the person who arranges the formation is what you call worshipping the moon."

My Healing Game

"I'm refining the body, and I don't have much research on the formation, if I want to break the formation without affecting the sculpture in the lake, I'm afraid I'll have to use some special means."

He paused and said, "If you ask for it, I can go and break the formation." ”

Wu Xingzhi thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, forget it." ”

The special means that Li Xiaoyao said are probably the use of means such as the magic power of the Immortal Buddha, and after thinking about it, it will attract the attention of the Immortal Buddha, and the identity will naturally be exposed.

Anyway, this matter is not out of the question, since it is not good to forcibly break the formation, I will find other ways.

"It seems that before we take the Water Spirit Bead, we have to go to meet the one called Moon Worship."
