Chapter 12: The Treasure of the Lake

As the crack in the door expanded, the faint blue light pouring out of the door also continued to sprinkle down to form a light curtain, and after a while, the ground under Pan Yue's feet spread out and enveloped the three of them.

Retracting his arm, Pan Yue exhaled and couldn't help coughing, "Ahem... I never thought that I would be able to open this dusty stone door in my own free time, it was really providential..."

With a sigh, Pan Yue dragged the long reflection and walked in first, and then, Pan Jue and Han Bing looked at each other and nodded and followed closely.

After walking about ten steps, the scene inside the door was also presented to the eyes of the three people: a stone staircase, two bright lights, and nothing else.

The luminous lights embedded on both sides of the entrance emit an enchanting glow, like a pair of magical pupils that attract the three of them to enter...

The stone staircase spirals down in a spiral shape, with a wooden fence on the left and a stone wall on the right, which is made of translucent rock crystals, and with the eyes of three people, you can even see the fish and shrimp swimming outside the wall.

The sound of steady footsteps sounded again on the stone steps that had not been set foot for an unknown amount of time, and the night lights that appeared at intervals on the right side of the stone steps flickered quietly to welcome the three visitors. The faces of the three people surrounded by light reflected a little light, adding a bit of mystery to the unknown below.

Han Bing said in surprise, "Big brother, it's really a different cave, our current location should be under the lake."

"Yes, the heart of Binglian Lake is about six zhang deep, and that place is located under the bottom of the lake. We'll be there a little further down. Pan Yue said proudly, "Everyone in Brother Han City knows that the four major families have their own treasures and wealth, just like the Hidden Flower Valley in Brother Han's Mansion and the Ice and Snow Restaurant under the name of the City Lord's Mansion...... But I didn't know that my Pan Mansion also had a treasure at the bottom of the lake. When I was young, I heard my father mention that it was a coincidence that this place was built, and that he was now full of ice lotuses in addition to the center of the lake. It stands to reason that the lake is generally closer to the center, the more water plants flourish, so he wondered and decided to go into the water to find out. Sure enough, the place under the middle of the lake is not full of silt like the surrounding area, but a naturally formed cryolite rock. This ice crystal rock is shaped like an ice block but is extremely strong, and the piece found at the bottom of the lake is extremely large. So my father came up with the idea of building an attic in the middle of the lake. Now the stone wall next to us was dug out by my father little by little by digging out the cryocrystals below, and then building them on the spot. Of course, the old city lord was also involved in this process, not only because of the deep brotherhood between his father and the old city lord, but also partly because the old city lord was a goldsmith, and he was involved in the properties of materials such as cryolites between heaven and earth, and could give his father some advice and guidance. After it was built, the two of them combined to make it a Tibetan Arsenal. The old lord had said that cryolite rocks were not only strong but also highly hydrophobic, so the air here was quite dry even though we were underwater. ”

When the last row of stone steps was left behind by the three of them, the mystery of the bottom of the lake was finally slowly lifted and revealed in front of the three of them, and the square bricks about three feet long under their feet were arranged in a seven-by-seven pattern into a diamond shape, one of which was facing the direction of the three people.

Seeing this, Pan Jue stared at a pair of black and shining eyes, looked up and asked suspiciously, "Dad, why is there nothing, where is the entrance?!" ”

Pan Yue replied with a smile, "Haha, the entrance of the silly boy is one of the forty-nine stone bricks, and the remaining forty-eight stone bricks combine countless routes, but only one route is safe." ”

Han Bing responded, "That is to say... One wrong step can be dangerous! When the words fell, he immediately used his mental power to investigate.

After a while, Han Bing was slightly surprised and said, "Huh? There was something strange here, and my mental power seemed to be cut off. ”

Pan Yue explained, "Every stone brick here has been processed, and its function is to block the invasion of spiritual power. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a contemplative person who would have swaggered over. Below these stone bricks, only the stone bricks corresponding to the safe route are solid, and the rest are pits, which are filled with poisonous sand, and once a person falls, the stone bricks will automatically close, and what awaits him will be the ruthless erosion of poisonous sand until it becomes a white skeleton. Next, it is up to me to guide you along the way. ”

"Click-boom-"

With the impact between the cracks of the stone bricks and the sound of poisonous sand flowing through the cracks, Han Bing and Pan Jue, under the leadership of Pan Yue, walked and jumped with great difficulty, and finally reached the back of the diagonal stone bricks where they were before.

Pan Yue immediately said, "Come, the entrance is under this stone brick, the difference between the ground is about one zhang, you are ready to go down with me" After that, Pan Yue stretched out his five fingers and turned up the stone brick, and then jumped down...

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!"

"Haha, big brother, you're rich!"

Since Pan Yue, the other two exclaimed each of them the moment they landed.

And the scene in front of them is naturally not in vain they sighed, the surrounding ice crystal rock due to the excavation and polishing of the sake appears more transparent than the above, under the background of the night lamp, the lake outside the rock is flooded with wisps of waterline, and the fish and shrimp are in groups to outline a good dynamic Danqing; Underneath it is a patchwork of cryolite display cases, all of which are rooted in the rock face, which means that they were being carved at the same time as they were being excavated.

And under each showcase, there is a kind of Rui beast lurking, from the outer tortoise to the inner enclosure of the unicorn or Pixiu, and the most central position is no longer the showcase, directly is a dragon and a phoenix two lifelike beasts, dragon claws and phoenix claws are connected to the rock face, in which the dragon's front right paw is located on the rock face slightly sunken, like a spider web-like crack spread. It can be seen that the carver has exhausted his thoughts, and it must be a hard-to-find work of art just to take out these statues, and only things more precious than it are qualified to be placed on them, such as the objects that are placed in the dragon's mouth and the phoenix's back at this moment...

Pan Yue coughed lightly and brought the lingering gaze of the two to himself again, and he smiled and said, "The Blue Rain Continent has trillions of people, and cultivators only account for one in ten thousand, but the millions of people in Ice and Snow City can produce a thousand people, thanks to our harsh environment, we are created under the severe cold, and our physique is stronger than that of people in other regions of the Blue Rain Continent." The more cultivators there are, the more exercises there will be in this place, after all, there are still a small number of cultivators who have reached the realm and practice a single exercise. As far as I know, all the exercises in the Blue Rain Continent are divided into four grades, and each grade is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower, among which are the so-called magic recipes used by the refiners, and the so-called magic spectrum used by the condensers. The method is roughly divided into mind, attack, defense, body and body refining; Unlike the refiners, the contemplators pay attention to surprises, so the magic spectrum is roughly divided into attack, control, illusion, array and song. The display cabinets standing on the turtle's back here are all the exercises of the lower level of the Xuan Rank, the Pixiu area is the intermediate level of the Xuan Rank, and the Qilin area is the method of the intermediate level of the Xuan Rank. ”

After a pause, Pan Yue tilted his head to look at the two divine beasts, his eyes were full of fanaticism, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, before he spoke, "As for those two, maybe everything here can't be compared to the sum up... What the dragon is in the mouth is a mental method of a lower level of human rank! On the back of the phoenix is the orange-level forging gold chart! ”

Under Pan Yue's extremely infectious introduction, Han Bing and Pan Jue's hearts suddenly became hot and eager, and they couldn't wait to rush towards the dragon and phoenix immediately!

At this time, Pan Yue squatted down, a pair of big hands on his son's shoulders, his eyes revealed a slightly complicated but hopeful brilliance, and he was silent for a long time.

If Pan Jue didn't understand it by this time, he wouldn't be worthy of being Pan Yue's son, and in the same way, Pan Jue didn't say a word and just nodded fiercely.

And Han Bing also walked behind Pan Jue, patted him on the back, and said with a smile, "Jue'er, go ahead, I believe in you!" ”

Pan Jue glanced at the majestic and brilliant dragon eye, clenched his fists and walked towards it! That's right, he has already given the best answer with his actions.

Seeing his son go away, Pan Yue's heart seemed to be pinched, and he muttered, "Jue'er, if you can do your best, it's okay if you can't do it." ”

Han Bing suddenly said, "Hey... It turns out that the eldest brother has already thought of the so-called suitable mental trick in his heart, but it is not easy to look at your appearance. ”

"Ahh

Pan Yue looked up to the sky and sighed, this iron-clad man actually revealed an emotion called "regret" for a while, "That's right, it still makes me feel palpitations until now." In order to prepare for the last 100 Cities Competition, I made up my mind to take my realm to the next level by recultivating my mind. And this mental method in the dragon's mouth is the most perfect alternative, but I never thought that this mental method was so domineering. What kind of scene was it, a sea of fire, a rain of fire, and a blackened path leading to a furnace with dark red flames, and the moment I approached the furnace, a cluster of nameless fireworks immediately emerged from my heart, slowly devouring from the inside out, and all I could feel was the boundless burning of pain, which was like an imprint on my soul. In the end, I really failed, and the strength of the Great Perfection of the Qi Control Realm seemed to have become a joke at that moment. The rebuilding was futile, the internal injuries were hidden, and the hundred cities were defeated. It has given me only eternal shadows......"

In the dim light, Han Bing looked at the wrinkles that cracked at the corners of Pan Yue's eyes until they spread to the white hair on his temples. He only now figured out why he didn't see his eldest brother a few days before the last Hundred Cities Competition, why the pace of his eldest brother's departure that day was a little vain, and why the steward of the Danfang after returning home would tell him that he was missing a whole bottle of Shiqian Pill.

Han Bing clearly remembered that on the eve of the war, Pan Yue said to him, "Brother Han, I will set off tomorrow, even if I fight for my life, I will get a good ranking!" At that time, he didn't think much about it, but now that the truth is revealed, Pan Yue not only saw himself that night, but he also went to the Danfang. A simple promise, how much pressure Pan Yue was carrying.

Han Bing was silent for a long time, and to this day, he didn't bother to debunk it, so he only asked, "......, it must have a good name, right?!" ”

"Of course! It's called... Burn! Heart! Manage! Furnace! Bid farewell! ”
