Chapter 13: Entering the Underground Palace
It had been more than an hour since Zi Wuchen had left the stone chamber that they had breathed in the fresh air from the outside world.
But they were all soaked, for the last bit of their exit was a bottomless spring, and they jumped down.
They swam in the water for a quarter of an hour before they came out, and while they were in the water, they had to suck the thin air of the water to cross the spring.
When they came ashore, they used their own aura to dry their clothes.
Zi Wuchen took out the map he found in the stone chamber and looked at it.
After pointing to a mountain stream with a canyon, he said to Xiao Yuqi, "Just now, we were here. ”
After Xiao Yuqi saw it, she said, "Then where are we going now?" ”
Zi Wuchen said, "We crossed a swamp and found a lake, and below that lake was the entrance to the underground palace.
Xiao Yuqi said: "Then we set off, heading towards the underground palace." ”
Zi Wuchen and the others left here.
They encountered more and more demon beasts on the way, and their realms were getting higher and higher, and they even encountered a demon beast from the Nirvana realm.
At that time, Purple Eyes, they came to a dense forest.
At first, they didn't see a single demon beast in that dense forest, and at this time, there was a scratch on an ancient tree that had lived for an unknown number of years.
They stepped forward, Xiao Yuqi touched the scratch with her hand, and then said, "This scratch is at least the size of a Nirvana Realm demon beast to have such a large scratch.
At that time, Zi Wuchen also agreed with Xiao Yuqi's point of view.
Soon after, this view was also confirmed. As they walked, a roar came from the middle of the forest, and some of the birds were frightened from the forest and retreated.
At this time, Xiao Yuqi jumped onto a tall tree, and she looked from a distance and saw a magic water celestial sheep.
Xiao Yuqi hurriedly returned to the tree and told Zi Wuchen everything she had seen.
Then they used the Breathing Technique when the Demon Water Heavenly Sheep in the Nirvana Realm had not yet discovered them, covering their own aura and dodging a catastrophe.
Zi Wuchen couldn't help but sigh that sometimes it's still good to have Xiao Yuqi, and it is eye-catching, but it can also crowd out loneliness.
After walking for I don't know how long, Zi Wuchen squatted down and touched the land on the ground with his hand, and said, "We are about to reach the swamp, and the land here is getting wetter and wetter. ”
After Xiao Yuqi heard Wuchen speak, a happy expression appeared on her face, and she was instantly full of motivation.
Sure enough, Zi Wuchen's guess was correct, and they came to the edge of the swamp a moment later.
Zi Wuchen and the others made a visual inspection, and then compared it with the map in their hands.
Zi Wuchen found that this swamp covers an area of about 300 square kilometers and has a diameter of thirty or forty kilometers.
"With our eightfold heaven realm's spiritual power reserves, we can only fly more than ten kilometers, and with the assistance of some pills, it is impossible to fly to the other side of this swamp." Xiao Yuqi said to Zi Wuchen when she knew this diameter.
"You're right," Zi Wuchen said thoughtfully, "but I have my own methods. ”
After Zi Wuchen finished speaking, he pulled out his sword and walked to some trees.
Zi Wuchen casually slashed at the tree more than a dozen times, and many branches fell to the ground, and at the same time, the leaves of the tree fell from the tree.
Then Zi Wuchen picked up the branches that had fallen to the ground and tied them up with hemp rope in a storage bag. Just such a wooden mat.
"What are you doing making wooden mats," Xiao Yuqi said suspiciously.
Zi Wuchen explained: "Do a few more of this, and in the end I didn't jump over." ”
Xiao Yuqi also thought it was good after hearing Zi Wuchen's method, but she needed a lot of wooden mats.
"Then don't hurry up," Wuchen said after hearing Xiao Yuqi's words.
So they cut wood on the edge of the swamp to make mats.
In a few moments, they made dozens of them and put them in their respective storage bags.
When they were ready, they flew with Edgeworth, flying swiftly over the swamp.
Halfway through the flight, their spiritual power was already exhausted.
They followed the method of Zi Wuchen, they first put the wooden mat on the ground, and without a single leap, they would throw the previous wooden mat in front with a rope, and in this way they often repeated the operation hundreds of times.
Then they came to a drier place, where they rested.
Just a dozen meters in front of where they were resting, small bubbles appeared in the swamp, and then the speed of the small bubbles became faster and faster.
Suddenly, several vines burst out of the swamp.
Coincidentally, Zi Wuchen was on the opposite side of that place, and all the mud that splattered out was sprinkled on Zi Wuchen's body, making him look down on what was going on.
Those vines rushed towards Zi Wuchen, and Zi Wuchen was entangled by the vines.
Zi Wuchen tried several times in a row, but he could tear this vine, and instead the vine hung Zi Wuchen in the air.
At this time of crisis, Xiao Yuqi pulled out her blue water sword, and then cut off this vine with one move and three attempts.
After the Zi Wuchen method escaped, he immediately took out a clean towel from his storage bag and wiped his eyes clean.
Zi Wuchen, who could see clearly, also picked up his own weapon to fight side by side with Xiao Yuqi.
They cut off many vines in an orderly manner, but new vines appeared. It was difficult to defeat for a while.
Zi Wuchen said to Xiao Yuqi: "You put the wooden mat first, you go first, I'll break it off, hurry up, otherwise I won't be able to leave." ”
Xiao Yuqi started immediately after hearing this, Zi Wuchen was still fighting with these vines.
Soon after, Xiao Yuqi paved it, and she shouted on the other side, "Come here." ”
After Zi Wuchen heard this, he didn't fight, so he immediately jumped here again and again with a wooden mat.
And those vines did not continue to chase, but continued to wave in the same place.
Zi Wuchen said, "The map shows that we can see a lake after walking for a while. ”
Xiao Yuqi said: "Let's go, it's getting late, let me rest and go again tomorrow." ”
Zi Wuchen looked at the sky, it was getting late, thinking that they were already exhausted and it was a bit dangerous to advance at night, he was afraid that he would accidentally enter the tiger's den, so he agreed to Xiao Yuqi's plan.
Still, they walked for a while before stopping to rest.
Because the swamp was so humid and smelled foul, they were inside this swamp.
They were sitting cross-legged under a tree, they were chatting about the corpse in the stone room before, it turned out that Zi Wuchen still knew a little, because it was recorded in the historical materials that the demon lord in their mouth was a master above the immortal mirror, and it was he who fought all over the immortal realm and never failed.
But he eventually disappeared for some reason, along with a group of his men.
Soon they slept in the delicate moonlight.
But it's different beyond the sea of Wufu, Juejiuzi was anxiously waiting for Wuchen's return in Wanhualou, but there was no news for a long time, he was already crazy, he didn't even drink wine, and finally he chose to wait for Ziwuchen for a few days.
But it's not just the people who are about to go crazy, but also the monks who are about to get the opportunity.
In Lingzhou, a treasure land of mountains and rivers - Huiyuan Pavilion.
One of them, a man dressed in yellow with a long white beard on his face, called out "Hui Yi, come here." ”
Then a seductive woman dressed in red came, and she said, "Lord, what do you command?" ”
The man said: "I will go to the Wufu Sea in a few days, this time the Wufu Sea is inexplicably opened, and inexplicably closed, it may be that there is a heavy treasure in the world, this seat wants to get it, help me break the seal, kill the old horseman, during my absence, this attic will be in your care." ”
The woman said, "Okay," and withdrew.
The stars shifted, and a new day began, Zi Wuchen and Xiao Yuqi continued to find the road to the underground palace.
They don't know how long it took for them to finally come to the front of the lake.
Zi Wuchen said: "We have arrived"
"It's not for anyone with eyes to see it," Xiao Yuqi said.
Zi Wuchen said to Xiao Yuqi for a while, turned around and jumped down, looking for the entrance to the underground palace in the water.
Zi Wuchen searched in the dark riverbed, but he didn't see it for a long time. But he didn't give up.
Xiao Yuqi, who was on the shore, was not idle, what traces did she walk on the shore.
Suddenly, she saw a strange stone on the edge of a cliff not far ahead.
She walked to the edge of the stone, and she found that the stone had been placed on it on purpose, and she stretched out her hand and pushed the stone down with force, causing a splash. Under the stone, there is a slate.
When Xiao Yuqi saw it, she wanted to call Zi Wuchen ashore, so she used the sword in her hand to stir up the water column on the surface of the lake and stir the lake
After a while, Zi Wuchen climbed ashore. After he came ashore, he saw Xiao Yuqi, he used his spiritual power to steam and dry his clothes, and then walked towards Yuqi.
It turned out that they had already said that as long as the bottom of the lake was stirred, Zi Wuchen could go ashore.
Zi Wuchen hadn't walked to Yuqi's side and said, "You found something, I haven't seen the entrance to the underground palace at the bottom of this lake for a long time." ”
Xiao Yuqi said: "Look here. Then he pointed to the slabs on the ground.
After Zi Wuchen arrived, he looked at the stone slab on the ground, and then removed the stone slab, and a huge iron chain appeared in front of them.
Xiao Yuqi said: "This chain has been stored for so long and it hasn't rotten. ”
Zi Wuchen said: "This is a special method of refining, and it can not rot for 20,000 years. When he had finished speaking, he picked up the chain, which was as thick as a tree trunk.
He pulled hard, but he could only pull slowly. Seeing this, Xiao Yuqi came to help, and the two of them used their strength to pull the chain.
The otherwise calm surface of the water suddenly began to overturn the river, and an iron chain appeared from the sludge at the bottom of the water, and jumped into the water with a thud, and then I saw that the water surface was falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon after, the huge lake had dried up, and then one of the lakes suddenly sank.
After Zi Wuchen saw it, he said, "The door of the underground palace is open." ”
And they flew to the gate with their swords.
