Chapter 17: A Trip to Poseidon Palace

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Xia Wei and Shenhe have been staying together for these three days.

Basically, as long as she was bored, Shenhe would ask Xia Wei to tell her a story, but there was really no story to tell, so Xia Wei simply made a chessboard to teach Shenhe to play backgammon.

In order not to let Shenhe lose interest, Xia Wei also lost a few games to Shenhe in the process of playing chess.

Three days later, Xia Wei and Shenhe said goodbye to Miss Yiqi who came to change shifts in the Afterlife Hall, and looked at the back of the two leaving, Miss Yiqi hurriedly went to check the small bed used to sleep in her inner room, and was relieved to find that there were no suspicious traces.

"The Evil God"

Now there is no need to wash the bedding, there is not so much water for her to wash this Wufu slope, and she doesn't dare to go over the Bishui River not far away that drowned so many people.

The two of them walked on the way to Qingcezhuang, where the Sea God Palace should have been, according to Shenhe.

Blowing the conch on the night of the fifteenth will summon a gate to the bottom of the waves.

In Xia Wei's opinion, it was only the special voice of the conch that could call out the gate of the waves, as long as he knew what kind of sound it was, he could also make it.

In winter, there are ventriloquists who are good at it, and the sound of the conch can be restored.

When he really arrived at Qingce Village, Xia Wei walked over and asked an old man who was sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the house, and the old man glanced at him with a cloudy look.

"Is there anything wrong with the young man?"

"I don't know, old man, have you ever heard of the Poseidon Palace?" Xia asked kindly.

Hearing the three words of the Sea God Palace, the old man immediately lowered his head and continued to sweep up the fallen leaves, "I haven't heard of it, I haven't heard it, don't ask again." ”

Seeing the old man's unkind attitude, Xia Wei was a little puzzled, why did this old man suddenly change his expression after hearing the three words of the Sea God Palace.

Then Xia Wei and Shenhe asked a few more people, but they didn't get the answers they wanted.

At this time, Shenhe clenched his fists and walked towards a young man in Qingce Village, but was stopped by Xia Wei, who realized that something was wrong.

"Shenhe, what are you going to do?"

"I wonder if he just pressed his head to the ground and twisted his arm." Shenhe said calmly.

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Xia Wei's head, how did he feel that Shenhe was more like a person who came to the winter than him?

Just when he wanted to use illusion to trick those people into speaking out, an old woman walked over on the path not far away.

"Young man, little girl, I heard from the people in the village, you are looking for the Poseidon Palace, right?" The old woman said in a slow tone.

Xia Weiyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Old woman, do you know about the Seagod Palace?" ”

The old woman smiled, "Don't blame them for not telling you about it, in the past, there were some people in the village who wanted to find the Sea God Palace, but then there was no news, and the people in the village stopped mentioning this matter since then." ”

Xia Wei was stunned when he heard this, no wonder, those people just now didn't tell them for their good.

"Then why are you telling us this, old woman?" Xia Wei asked curiously.

The old woman smiled and looked at Shenhe, I had heard the story of the white-haired fairy when I was young, but I didn't expect to see it today.

Xia Wei looked at Shenhe with a confused expression, "Shenhe, how old are you?" ”

"But a hundred years old, will you dislike me?" Shenhe asked with some concern when he heard this.

Xia Wei shook his head, "I don't like it, I'm just surprised." ”

At this time, the old woman smiled again and told the story of the Poseidon Palace.

"The Poseidon Palace is the cave of the evil cockroach thousands of years ago, it seems to be a cave outside the world, you need to open the door of the cave on the night of the fifteenth full moon with the sound of the conch, and it happens that today is the fourteenth, and it is the fifteenth day after noon at night.

It just so happened that there were other people in the village who wanted to find the Poseidon Palace today, and they didn't know where to find the conch, so if the two of them wanted to go over, go with them. The old woman said calmly.

Xia Wei thanked the old woman and went to a pavilion according to the location she pointed out.

On the way to the pavilion, Shenhe looked at Xia Wei and reminded, "The old man just now has a problem. ”

Xia Wei's expression was as usual, and he nodded, "I know she has a problem, and I knew it at the first glance when I saw her." ”

Shenhe showed a surging look of worship when he heard this, although he still couldn't see it.

When the two of them came to the pavilion that the strange old woman had spoken, they found that it was already crowded with people, and an old woman was trying to persuade them.

"Please, don't go looking for the Poseidon Palace, because a lot of people have died in this matter." Grandma Ruoxin, the village chief, said with a sigh.

She is the village chief here, and she has been worried about this matter for a long time, and during this time, a group of people will come almost in the middle of every month, and go to the Poseidon Palace with the conch that she didn't know where to find it, and then there is no news.

Xia Wei glanced at it and knew that there were twelve people here, and three of them even had a conch in their hands, but the one that attracted Xia Wei's attention the most was a young girl with purple hair and two ponytails.

She leaned on the railing alone, holding the conch in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this time, Xia Wei remembered the description of Liyue's Seven Stars Yuheng in the document that the lady had given her, and she had some guesses.

Just when Xia Wei wanted to go up to inquire about the situation, two slimes stood in front of him, and it turned out that Shenhe was standing in front of him and obstructing his vision.

"Shenhe, what are you?"

"It's better not to attract too much attention, so as not to get into trouble." Shenhe reminded with a calm expression.

Xia Wei felt that it made sense, so he didn't continue to say anything.

It was night and night, and as a bright moon appeared in the night, the men rose to their feet and began to move.

Xia Wei and Shen He followed behind their team to a small lake in Qingce Village.

As one of them blew the conch lake, there was a ripple on the surface of the lake, and the moonlight rippled in the ripples, but this moonlight suddenly became a lake, replaced by a black whirlpool gate.

This is a very ominous black door, and Xia Wei still doesn't believe that these people really dare to enter.

However, these people really went in the next moment.

At this time, the purple-haired girl with a double ponytail who was suspected of being Yuheng leaned over.

"Three of these people are adventurers from Mondstadt, and the rest are the elite of the Treasure Hoarders, all of whom are swords-lickers. After speaking, Keqing also stepped into the black door.

Xia Wei was not shaken by Keqing's words, danger always comes with rewards, and he is sure enough to retreat, so he is not afraid.

Seeing Xia Wei walk into the black door, Shenhe also walked in.

As the two figures disappeared, the black door gradually closed, and at the last moment when the black door closed, the strange old woman of the day walked over, with a strange smile on her face.

Suddenly, a figure resembling a flying fish appeared on the surface of the lake.

"You have defiled the waters of lightness."

"I don't know each other, do you want to fight with me to the death? Are you worthy? You should be glad I could keep you until now. ”
