Chapter 25: Compendium of Gu Gods
Xia Qingyi swung around the coffin a few times, looking for any suspicious mechanisms that could be triggered, and tried a few more times to forcibly push open the stone slab above the coffin with her own strength. But no matter how hard she tried, even thinking of running to increase momentum and power, the stone slab on the coffin still didn't move.
A little annoyed, she went around to the tombstone and muttered again:
Something that can't be shaken! Something you can't shake? That means you can't open it, right, hell! Let her in, and give her this kind of problem again!?
She thought that she could reach the pinnacle of life with the identity of the Poison Gu Descendant, the chosen one, but how could she have been suffering a lot from the beginning.
"Baozi, do you have a way to open this coffin?" She didn't know why she thought of asking Baozi for help, a problem that even she couldn't solve with racking her brains, but at the moment there was only herself and it.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Baozi glanced at Xia Qingyi, who was at a loss, stood side by side in front of the monument with her, and suddenly stretched out her fat right paw and gently wiped it back and forth somewhere on the monument, and after a while, the word "impossible" on the tombstone disappeared.
At the same time, a plum blossom brand appeared in the original position, and the bun shook his right paw proudly and licked a few bites as if to invite merit, and fell directly towards the brand. Xia Qingyi's eyes are about to fall out, this is!? It has known for a long time!!
Without waiting for her to think about it, as the paws of the bun were embedded in the tombstone, the dead and alive slate that Xia Qingyi had tortured made a deafening popping sound, and shattered it in half in front of Xia Qingyi.
A lotus-shaped white jade ice coffin slowly rose, emitting a dazzling golden light, and the white mist curled around it, lining it as if it were a holy relic.
Xia Qingyi waited for a long time to adapt to the sudden light, and squinted her eyes to see that in the middle of the ice coffin---- a book was blooming in the delicate yellow stamens
---- Gu God Compendium.
It should be it! This time, Xia Qingyi was not reckless, and directly asked Baozi for help.
"What else is hidden? Let's save some time, why don't you get it back for me? β
What she said was right, causing Baozi to have a big white eye, it jumped on the ice coffin with three or two small short legs, stood in the outermost layer of the lotus, and slapped the petals with a solemn expression, and the sharp white jade petals pierced into the flesh pad of the bun, and blood gushed out in an instant, until the blood stained a whole petal, and the bun slowly withdrew his claws.
When Xia Qingyi looked at the ice coffin again, the petals soaked in the blood of the bun had already spread the scarlet color in a circle, and the entire periphery of the flower had turned red.
After doing this, Baozi jumped to the side and raised the claws that had just donated blood bravely and swayed back and forth in the air, and from time to time he puffed up his cheeks to blow wind on the wound, as if he was relieving the pain and mourning his sacrifice just now.
Xia Qingyi looked at the series of operations of the bun with an aunt smile on her face, and she was proud and moved in her heart: What a cow, it's not her cub!
She waited patiently for the bun to be tidied up, thinking that it would definitely be able to claw again after a while, but the bun, who had been recuperating for a while, directly found a corner and adjusted her posture and fell asleep, not continuing to "self-harm" at all.
Xia Qingyi, who was helpless, had no choice but to bite the bullet and drip blood into each layer of petals according to the gourd painting. In a short time, most of the ten fingers were burned with wounds, and the pain made her grin and keep inhaling.
When I saw the buns sleeping sweetly and snoring on the side, I felt that I was in a sad situation, but fortunately, there was still the last layer left. She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and stabbed down.
In an instant, the entire lotus flower was printed bright red, and the ice mold covering the classics turned into a blood mist and disappeared. Xia Qingyi was excited and immediately reached out to dig it. The bun in his sleep seemed to sense something, and a smart person turned over and jumped up and rushed towards Xia Qingyi, but it was too late to stop it.
The entire burial chamber began to shake, and Baozi covered his eyes and couldn't bear to face it. Xia Qingyi was stunned and watched as the steps fell apart in the violent shaking and completely collapsed.
What to do!? Can't go back!?
Who would have thought that this wave of twists and turns, the trip to the ancient tomb, which was about to be victorious, added bumps and bumps.
Xia Qingyi sat on the ground decadently, curled up with her hands around her knees, now her body was collapsed, her mouth was dry, and she was almost desperate.
"Baozi, is there any way you can let us out?" Despite her lack of hope, she relied on her all-powerful civet as usual.
Only this time, Baozi didn't even raise his head, drooping his head, obviously depressed.
The death-like silence permeated the tomb, and Xia Qingyi lowered her head and looked at the coffin in a daze.
Such a large coffin contains a lotus flower and a book?
Xia Qingyi seemed to suddenly discover something
"Baozi, will there be anything else under this lotus?"
Hearing this, Baozi's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly beckoned Zizhu to the side to chirp crookedly, gesturing back and forth. Xia Qingyi couldn't participate in the conversation between the two spirit pets at all, so she had to lean against the wall alone and continue to study the strangeness of the coffin.
After a while, Zizhu, who seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, began to patrol around the tomb from the outside to the inside, scattering crystal powder from its wings along the way, scattering everywhere it went, like a meteor falling, and the beauty was breathtaking.
Xia Qingyi was also attracted by this strange scene, and praised Zizhu's flight trajectory intently. When they reached the blood-stained lotus, the powder that should have fallen refloated into the air as if hiding from something, gathering together with a dazzling luster in their hair and revealing a pink halo.
It's here! Baozi jumped on the coffin excitedly and stared at the blood lotus in a daze, motionless.
Xia Qingyi also hurriedly stood up and took a step forward to study the hidden mysteries in the lotus. She carefully examined it one by one, but still found nothing.
At this moment, Baozi turned around and jumped back in front of the tombstone, stretched out his paws again and wiped them carefully towards the word "shake".
Sure enough, after the handwriting was eliminated, there was also a strange pattern of a bird, Xia Qingyi pushed and pressed hard towards the pattern for a long time, and found that there was no mechanism on it this time, and she was a little disappointed and just wanted to withdraw her hand, the bun on the side grabbed her finger and stuffed it into her mouth at lightning speed, and when the other party didn't react at all, she pressed the finger that was biting and bleeding back to the position where the figure on the tombstone was.
The red-dyed part immediately glowed red, and the bun carefully smeared Xia Qingyi's blood along the outline all over the bird pattern.
I only heard a shout that resounded in the sky, "Chirpγγγγγγγγ β
The huge blood lotus that was originally blooming in the coffin melted instantly, and the bottom of the ice lotus exploded with a sound of explosion, and a blood-red bird and beast in the shape of a crane flew out, its narrow white mouth, which was particularly abrupt in the body with cyan wings covered with red long stripes.
And although it flew into the air in the tomb, which was not wide in the first place, Xia Qingyi clearly found that it only had one leg, and she was even more scared at the moment.
Did they summon some monsters!?
Xia Qingyi was frightened alone, and Baozi was already calm and relaxed negotiating with the divine bird. Dancing with her hands, the divine bird screamed as if it had been stimulated by something, Xia Qingyi hurriedly covered her ears, it was terrible, what kind of sin did she do, she had to endure so many disasters in this life.
Finally, the two spirit beasts seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, and the divine bird that was originally flying in the air suddenly landed and automatically bent its slender calf. Seeing this, Baozi immediately jumped on its back, and then turned back to Xia Qingyi to make a follow-up motion.
Xia Qingyi looked back and forth between the Divine Bird and the Bun, and was terrified in her heart, until she was sure that the Bun's behavior just now did not arouse the disgust of the Divine Bird, and then she trembled and climbed onto the back of the bird.
With another cry, Xia Qingyi hurriedly hugged the neck of the bird and beast, and after a stumble, the divine bird spread its wings and flew towards the exit of the tomb. It was extremely fast, and in less than a cup of tea, it was already at the entrance of the cave.
Outside the ancient tomb, Chu Jiaren was pacing back and forth anxiously, and she also felt the shock of Shicai, and when she found that the steps leading to the bottom of the tomb were all shattered, a trace of uneasiness welled up in her heart.
She tried to summon Zizhu several times, but there was no response, and she could only sense that it was still alive. According to Zizhu's ability, even if there is an unknowable danger inside, it should be able to get out of the way, since it didn't come back, that is, Xia Qingyi is still alive, Chu Jiaren closed his eyes, and secretly comforted himself in his heart.
But as time passed, Chu Jiaren became more and more anxious, just as she hesitated to go down to find out despite the ancestral teachings, a bright red flew out of the tomb, and what surprised her even more was that Xia Qingyi was sitting on the back of the bird and waving to herself, and she finally let go of her heart.
No one knows how painful the wait will be. Chu Jiaren galloped in the direction where the birds and beasts stopped, looked at Xia Qingyi, who was clumsy and climbed down from the bird's back, and hugged her into her arms, but the person concerned was a little flattered and overwhelmed.
"Auntie, how do you pull it?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to come back, it's good to come back." Chu Jiaren realized that her emotions were out of control, let go of the hands holding Xia Qingyi, wiped her tears in a panic, squeezed out a loving smile, and continued.
"What about the Gu God Compendium, did you get it?"
"Yes, here." Xia Qingyi took out the wrapped ancient books from her arms and sighed with emotion.
"Senior aunt, you don't know, the tomb is really too terrifying."
Xia Qingyi's aggrieved expression successfully amused Chu Jiaren, and the originally slightly sad atmosphere suddenly became active.
"How is it possible, the following are all treasures given by the ancestors, at most, it is just for you to spend some effort when you get it, you see, your ancient beasts have become your mount."
"Ancient Divine Beasts!? Is it it? Xia Qingyi stared at Chu Jiaren in disbelief. The finger unconsciously pointed to the side of the sacred bird who was grooming his hair to confirm it.
"That's right, this is Bi Fang Bird, one of the ancient divine beasts, it should be you who have unlocked its seal, you try to let it recognize the master, the general divine beast, once it recognizes the master, it will swear to follow." The eldest princess explained to her patiently.
"So, I, how am I going to get her to confess the Lord? I can't understand it!" Xia Qingyi's mood at the moment was excited and apprehensive, excited because she was able to unseal an ancient divine beast, she didn't even dare to think about it, and she felt that she was completely unsure about the matter of recognizing the master.
"Then how do you convince it to bring you out!" The eldest princess was completely confused for her, and she was willing to carry her out without recognizing the lord, how could this be possible!
"Shicai is the one who communicates with her, I don't know at all."
"Then you ask Baozi what kind of deal they made?" The eldest princess kindly reminded.
Hearing this, Xia Qingyi hugged the bun that was in a daze, and supported it with both hands.
"Baozi, wake up, what did you say to this bird?"
The buns danced for a while, and the two of them saw it in a fog and didn't know what to say. Baozi was also very anxious, and finally ran out as if he thought of something.
Leaving two bewildered-looking women looking at each other.
"Ah!!h The eldest princess suddenly let out a scream: "Why is there nothing on the Gu God Compendium?"
