Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Essence

After saying that he could not return, before Wu Mian could come over, his two apprentices and those minions had already removed a few oil lamps from the wall and brought them to his master's side. Although you don't need the light of an oil lamp to see underwater with your eyes that don't return, the dense handwriting engraved on the inside of the pool is too blurry. However, even with the light of the oil lamp, the handwriting in the water was slightly clearer, but it was still impossible to tell what was engraved.

At this time, Wu Mian had already walked to the opposite position, he stood beside Xiao Rensan, and looked into the pool. However, just like whether to return or not, Wu Mian stared at the pool for a long time, and he didn't see what was written inside.

After looking at it for a while, he found the problem first: "The words below are reversed, engraved in the pool, just to reflect it" After speaking, he snatched the oil lamp in the hand of the return area, and held the oil lamp above the pool, and sure enough, there were some looming words in the water shadow reflected on the ceiling.

After seeing the words above my head, my eyes lit up. The handwriting was almost all legible, but he still didn't think it was clear enough, and the old guy said to his two apprentices and a few minions, "Go and pick up a few more oil lamps."

Just when the two brothers and Qiu Lao Er were about to pick up the oil lamp, a voice that didn't quite fit in with the cold came from the opposite side: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll borrow you a little light" When the two brothers and those minions looked back, it was like they had lost the oil lamp in their hands, and they were running towards them with a pale face.

Before he could understand what had happened, he saw a flash of lightning behind him, and a fist-sized ball lightning appeared where the old guy had left just now. Lightning or something, since returning or not returning to bring Wu Mian to eat and drink for nothing, the two brothers and all the minions have also met a few times. I don't think it's unusual. It's just that this time the lightning actually stopped on the pool, and there was no intention of dissipating at all.

After running to the two brothers who came home, Gui Bugui glanced at the ball lightning, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he looked at Wu Mian and said hatefully: "I know that you can do this, the score calculated in this position is not bad, it is aimed at me, right?"

Wu Mian rolled his eyelids and looked at the old guy, and said, "You still need to aim, you can hit it accurately with your eyes closed" Speaking of this, he paused, pointed to the ball lightning that was still surging with arcs, and said: "Remind you, this light can't last a little longer." If you want to see what's written in the pool, it's too early—"

This sentence can be regarded as attracting the gaze of no return to the ceiling. There, under the reflection of the pond water, a series of thousands of eight hundred words were reflected in the shadows. A few of them looked up for a moment, except for a few words that could roughly guess what they meant, the others were vaguely seen, but they couldn't say what they meant. These characters are neither small seals nor pre-Qin languages.

However, the eyes of no return widened and widened, and they hardly blinked. And his old man was looking at the words on the ceiling, and he was babbling on the inside. After almost half a pillar of incense, the ball lightning suspended above the pool suddenly dimmed, and then barely flashed twice before the lightning disappeared completely.

Knowing that the lightning was gone, he still raised his head and stared at the position of the shadow that was reflected just now in a daze. The two apprentices and a few minions around him didn't dare to disturb him, and originally wanted to ask what words were engraved in the pool, but seeing the old man like this, he could only swallow back the words he wanted to ask for the time being.

Fortunately, there is still a person here who is not taking it seriously, Wu Mian looked at the person who was in a daze, and said, "Did you have something to say, forgot to tell me?" When he refocused his gaze on Wu Mian, he returned to his signature expression of a hippie smile.

After smiling at Wu Mian, the old guy said, "There are too many things to say, why should I straighten it out and tell you again?"

Wu Mian glanced at him, snorted, and said, "Nine hundred and eighty-one inscriptions, how long do you have to digest them?"

The old guy was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Wu Mian to recognize the words in the pool, but after a while, the old fox's smile appeared on his face again: "Miscellaneous - hahahaha, it seems to be this miscellaneous thing, don't you understand?"

Even when Wu Mian's face became colder and colder, and the sound of thunder and lightning began to faintly emerge from his body, the old guy suddenly smiled, looked at Wu Mian and said, "It is a record of a monk who ascended to immortal status during the period of King Zhou Kang. This is the place where the monk ascended, because the monk said before he ascended that he would come back after becoming an immortal to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the Great Zhou. King Kang ordered the Marquis of Yan Ai to build an underground palace here to welcome the day when the immortal returned."

When he said this, there was a strange expression on his face, and he glanced at the two brothers who returned home, intentionally or unintentionally. Then he continued to say to Wu Mian: "It's a pity that now that Da Zhou has been wiped out, that immortal seems to have broken his promise, at least even if he comes back, he can't reverse the situation."

After finishing speaking, the old guy returned to the pool again, stretched out his hand and stirred the pool water inside, and just wanted to take a sip, when he suddenly saw Xiao Ren San next to Wu Mian smiling at him, and then suddenly remembered that this little bastard had peed in it just now, and at the moment he shook off the water in his hand with extreme disgust. He glared at the ginseng doll hatefully.

Xiao Rensan raised his neck and laughed, and after laughing, he said to the non-return: "Be content, my ginseng urine of this year is not something you can drink if you want to." Speaking of ginseng, it can be regarded as a kind of essence, although it is diluted by the pool water, but there is no problem with taking a sip and living for ten or eight years more."

As soon as his words fell, the eyes of Qiu Lao Er and the five people beside the two brothers who returned home straightened, and after Qiu Lao Er swallowed his saliva, he turned his face to look at whether he would return or not, and said: "Old fairy, is what this little baby said reliable?"

The old guy nodded reluctantly and said, "There are no ten or eight years, and after so much water is diluted, there will be five or six years left at most after taking a sip..."

"Then drink a few more sips!" Before he finished speaking, he saw Qiu Lao Er and the five of them rushing towards the pool in a swarm. Qiu Lao Er jumped directly into the pool, and when he came out again, it was already the place where Ren San peed just now. Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he poured a few big mouthfuls in the birthplace. The rest of the people could only lie on the pool platform and drink their stomachs to a round.
