Volume 5: The First Song Five Hundred and Twelve: The Cold Water Pool (4)

Qian Chao said to his companions:

"Let's go forward, I heard that further on, we can still see the place where Elder Xiang and Ganbu died together, and there are still ruins left there. Also, it's really dark here, but Senior Brother Chu Yuan said that it will light up when you walk a little bit in the past, and the further you go, the brighter it will become. ”

Hearing this, Li Jian took a step and walked side by side with Qian Chao in the front, Tang Ping was worried that Yan Xuan would be afraid, so he pulled Yan Xuan's arm and walked with her, and Lu Pingchuan was still broken as usual, and under the yellow light from the few runes above their heads that followed their footsteps, the five of them walked towards the absolute darkness in the distance of this huge underground river.

The direction in which they were moving was in the direction of the original flow of the great river, and under their feet were extremely hard rocks, and under the yellow light, the rocks under their feet were covered with ravines that stretched out in front of their eyes into the distance, which had been washed by the mighty currents for an unknown number of years. Although there is a map drawn by Chu Yuan, the five people here do not dare to fly in the sky, let alone fast speed, in the vast darkness in front of them, who knows what danger will be hidden in it, after all, this is the first time they have gone deep here, so be careful, they walked step by step towards the place pointed out by Qian Chao. Even so, the five of them still walked against a stone wall, this underground river channel is too huge, if you walk in the center of the river, it is too empty, it is easy to get lost, there is a stone wall around them as a reference, so that you can know that they are walking along this river.

Among the five people, Li Jian's performance is the most calm, and his steps are the most steady, at this time his role is the most important, although Chu Yuan said that there is nothing to do, but in case there is any danger ahead, Li Jian must use his induction to find it in advance; Lu Pingchuan is the most daring one, if he hadn't broken the back, he would have strode to the front, it was dark, empty, and depressing, but these didn't affect him, he just felt bored when he walked here; Qian Chao's face was calm, but he was also a little nervous and apprehensive in his heart, after all, he was going to take his four companions step by step from here to the center of a heaven and earth cage where ancient beasts were imprisoned; Tang Ping has always been worried that Qian Boy will take the wrong way, and at the same time a little nervous, when walking, his eyes have been staring at the stone wall beside him, which is covered with the traces of flowing water, and there is nothing else; Yan Xuan is really the most nervous of the five, if it weren't for following a few companions, she wouldn't dare to come to such a deep and frightening place, even if Tang Ping's warm arm was holding her back, she was still nervous in her heart, listening to the footsteps under her feet while walking, her heart was constantly up and down, some of the scary horror stories she heard at home in the early years were her nightmares at night, and now in this darkness thicker than the night, those stories were recalled by her one by one clearly, All kinds of frightening images that she had imagined also appeared in her mind at this time, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, the more she thought about it, the more she felt cold, and suddenly her feet were unstable and she stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately, Tang Ping grabbed her in time.

After regaining her footing, Yan Xuan looked forward through the shoulders of Li Jian and Qian Chao, and she didn't know how far this river was, let alone when she would reach the entrance that Qian Chao said, she whispered:

"Where does this underground river lead?"

In fact, Yan Xuan didn't want to know this, he just wanted to listen to the voice of his companion, which could be regarded as giving himself a boost.

Qian Chao knew something, and he said as he walked in front:

"The history of this river is older than our Five Spirits Sect, and I also read it from the book, we all know that there have been two major wars in Middle-earth, the first is the 'Millennium War', and the second is ' The battle across the sea', the battle across the sea happened to us here, it is precisely because of that war that we have our Five Spirits Sect, and it is also because of the fierce battle between the two sides during the cross-sea war, turning over the river and the sea is like the sky falling apart, which completely changed the mountains and rivers here in our Five Spirits Sect, and since then this underground river has been cut off, so this underground river is earlier than our Five Spirits Sect. From the battle across the sea to the establishment of our Five Spirits Sect until today, there should have been no flowing water here, it has always been like this, I guess it is likely to go to the front of somewhere, this underground river channel will collapse and block, otherwise there should be some water vapor in this river even if there is no water, it is said that in the past, this underground river was directly connected to the sea in the south, looking at the river is so vast and empty, according to the records in the classics, those giant whales in the depths of the sea who swallow boats have to follow this underground river all the way to here every year, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

The giant whale that can swallow the big boat will swim all the way from the depths of the sea from this underground river to here, hearing this, Lu Pingchuan looked at the huge empty river and said:

"Well, maybe it's true, such a big underground river, if it were all small fish and shrimp swimming from the sea, it wouldn't be reasonable."

When several people were thinking about what it would be like for the giant whale to dive in the underground dark river, Li Jian, who was walking side by side with Qian Chao, suddenly said "um", and suddenly several people stopped nervously and looked around vigilantly.

"Brother Li, what's wrong?" Tang Ping asked nervously.

"I feel it," Li Jian said, "Have you noticed it, didn't you say that the cold water pool is a place where the spiritual veins are chaotic, I didn't notice it when I first came down here, but now I have some feelings, don't you feel it?" ”

It turned out that it was not because of any danger that was approaching, so a few people were relieved, but after Li Jian said this, the rest of the people really found an abnormality after taking it seriously.

Qian Chao felt that he was wearing a thick robe that he only wore in winter, and he seemed to be a little heavier, and the expressions of the rest of his companions were probably the same.

Lu Pingchuan moved his shoulders behind him and said:

"Eh, really, Brother Li also felt it when he said this, as if there was still a person on his back."

Yan Xuan was startled when this sentence was said coldly, originally she also noticed that she was like a heavy load, and after listening to Lu Pingchuan's words, she was suddenly startled and felt as if there was really someone lying on her back, and in a panic, she wiped a handful of confirmations on her back with her backhand, and at the same time turned back to look at Lu Pingchuan in horror, she was really afraid that when she turned around, she saw a stranger on the back of this big brother Lu who no one knew, it was too scary.

"Brother Lu," Tang Ping was also taken aback, and said angrily, "Don't talk like that, it's weird and scary." ”

Lu Pingchuan smiled a little embarrassedly:

"Hehe, it's okay, doesn't it mean that our Qi Refining Cultivators can completely withstand this chaotic spiritual vein? Since we feel it, it means that we are not on the wrong path, right? ”

"Let's go."

In fact, Qian Chao's feeling is the shallower, and the reason is that his spiritual root is the worst among the five people.

After walking forward for a while, Lu Pingchuan, who was at the end, said:

"Did those bad boys walk in and out of the cold pool like this before? It's so boring, didn't Brother Qian say that there would be light ahead, why can't you see it? ”

"Don't worry," Qian Chao said, "How far have we walked, Brother Lu, this underground river channel is not straight, we have to turn a few corners to get to the next entrance, so even if there is light in front of us, we can't see it here, Senior Brother Chu Yuan said, close to the entrance of the passage from the first floor to the second floor, the upper and lower sides of the river are full of glowing stones, and the most dense place of such stones is the entrance." ”

After walking a long way, the five men clearly realized that the river had indeed made a big turn.

Li Jian suddenly noticed the same, he looked up, and then said:

"Look at the above, the glowing stones that Brother Qian said will be those things."

All five of them stopped, their eyes all looked up, and there seemed to be a faint glimmer of light in the darkness above, not much, and the glimmer was very weak, if you didn't open your eyes and look carefully, you couldn't find it, just like an eye peeping at them from a distance above, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"What's that?" Tang Ping asked a little uneasily.

Qian Chao looked up at the top, Li Jian did not warn, indicating that it was not a living thing, not a threat, and after a moment he said:

"The chaotic spiritual veins are also spiritual veins, and they have been in the spiritual veins here for a long time, which will inevitably make some minerals change due to the moistening of the aura, and those that glow should be some kind of ...... Well...... Jewel? ”

This speculation is indeed valid, thinking of this, Qian Chao also wanted to fly on his body to see what was going on, in case those glowing rare gems were an unexpected joy, but he was stopped by Tang Ping.

"Money boy, let's move forward, didn't you say that the further you go, the brighter it becomes? Then it's better to go to the front and see, the black hole here is still not too troublesome. ”

Hearing this, Qian Chao had no choice but to give up.

In the next journey, there was always a little bit of light above, and along the river all the way with Qian Chao and a few people, and gradually walked forward for a long distance, and the river did not know that after a few big bends, the five of them found that not only the high top of the river, but also the stone wall on their side There was also a little bit of bright light, which was first discovered by Li Jian, and there was a small blue light spot above their heads on their side.

Now that this glowing thing is on the wall of the cave, Qian Chao doesn't need to fly to check what is going on, out of curiosity, he naturally stopped and took a closer look, and the rest of the people naturally gathered around.

"What the hell is this?" Tang Ping asked, pointing to the small glowing bright spot on the cave wall.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Qian Chao excitedly stretching out his right hand to grab the point of light on the stone wall, and after a loud sound under the effect of the imperial art, a small blue stone from the cave wall floated out and fell into Qian Chao's hands.

After putting the small stone in front of his eyes and identifying it, Qian Chao said in disappointment:

"Yes...... Czedony, no, is blue fluorite, alas, alas, alas, is an unformed chalcedony. ”

"What a pity? Are there any shapes and bottoms of stone? Tang Ping asked.

"This is blue fluorite, depending on the color, it will take a long time to become a blue chalcedony stone, and the blue chalcedony stone is a high-level refining material, it is rare, ah, such a small piece of blue chalcedony stone can be exchanged for at least five or six thousand spirit stones or even more spirit stones, but the use of blue fluorite is not much, this thing is also a mineral, and it is of little use in alchemy, alas, if the glowing things we see are blue chalcedony stones, then ......"

"Then we'll get rich, won't we?" Lu Pingchuan also felt very pity.

Tang Ping stretched out her hand and took the glowing blue stone in Qian Chao's hand, the inner crystal of this stone generally does not have any impurities, crystal clear, the difficult thing is that it also flashes a faint blue light, very cute, she looked at Qian Chao and said:

"It's useless, it's pretty good."

Yan Xuan also felt that the small stone was very beautiful with blue light.

"Alas, it's early!" Lu Pingchuan behind him said again.

Money tide says:

"Let's go, maybe there is also a blue chalcedony here, the luster of the two gemstones is not the same, the luster of the blue chalcedony is royal blue, which is different from the luster of blue fluorite, and it can be distinguished."

After walking a few steps, the four people in front of them heard a rattling sound on the stone wall behind them, and when they looked back, they found that it was Lu Pingchuan who was pulling off a lot of blue fluorite from the stone wall while walking and stuffing it into his storage bag.

Yan Xuan asked puzzledly:

"Brother Lu, what are you doing here?"

"Hehe," Lu Pingchuan smiled, "This stone money brother can't use it, but I use it, get a few pieces to keep, and wait for the future to build the foundation back to Lujiazhuang to my mother, when I was young, my mother and my father fought, my mother always complained that my father would rather take the money to buy wine than buy her a few pieces of jewelry, even if this stone is useless, but it is good-looking, I have never seen such a beautiful stone, if it is brought back to Lujiazhuang, it must be a good gem, and a few pieces of jewelry will be brought back in the future, hehe." ”

This statement also aroused Yan Xuan's feelings, and she quietly took a few pieces from the stone wall and put them in the storage bag.
