It is said that the reason why Mingyuan Mountain Tianchi can become a holy place for girls to bathe in the pavilion of the whole country is that in addition to the beautiful scenery there and the decrees issued by the royal family, there is another reason, that is, the place is not far from the national capital.

However, since the royal family suddenly sealed off this area fifteen years ago, the road leading from the north gate of the national capital to Tianchi Mountain has become a thorny one. The outside world only said that the Protector Python was in retreat to impact the realm of divine beasts, but they didn't know that it had already fallen.

On this day, the sky is high and cool, the sky is clear, and the mountains and forests are a scene of three autumns. But when I saw that, the torrential rain reaped the residual heat, and the autumn wind began to cool. The maple forest is red to the sun, and the bamboo ridge is yellow. The sunflowers bloom and reflect the dew, and the water is full of sartine. The willows are scattered first, and the cicadas should chirp. On that day, the surrounding area of the pond seemed to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, it was full of dangers, and there were often alien beast populations that spied on the treasures of the python dragon. Among them, there are many powerful individuals whose strength has reached the level of demon beasts. In the past decade or so, I don't know how many royal hired expeditions have died here.

Suddenly, a field of herons and birds rose from the mountain, and they all rushed northward in panic. The strange beasts in the forest became restless, some raised their heads into the distance, and some tossed and turned. The roar ——! followed by an earth-shattering tiger roar spread throughout the mountains! In an instant, the mountain wind was blowing, and all kinds of beasts were lurking! A dark cloud appeared in the clear sky, rolling in with a bloody black aura!

Alien beasts living in the natural world have a natural fear of creatures whose bloodline is higher than their own. The coercion they felt in the clouds at this moment made them unconsciously have a desire to escape. They all bowed their heads to the ground, cowering and hiding. But I saw that the cloudy clouds were over the mountains. Directly fell on top of the heavenly pool. After the clouds and mist cleared with the mountain wind, the silhouette of a white-fronted tiger and several human figures gradually appeared.

First, after the spatial gate of the capital of Wuyue Kingdom was opened, the white-robed Fengzhong returned to Beihai City with Shichan. And King Lu, Yang Rui and others moved to Xuanmen Hall in order to discuss the treasure exploration of Mingyuan Mountain.

On the main hall, King Lu only left Princess Lingyi and Yang Rui to accompany him, retreated from the large and small attendant officials, and let the forbidden army guard the palace around, and then said to the young man: "This matter is related to the ancestors of the Lu family, and it is a secret of the royal family three hundred years ago. Caution had to be exercised. Yang Shaoqing, don't be surprised!" The young man said: "King Lu is benevolent and generous. It's me who is too anxious. But I don't know what to instruct?" King Lu grabbed the young man's hand and said, "I'm not busy." It's a long story. You and I will sit down and talk again!" and said to the princess: "Lingyi, tribute tea is served!"

The princess nodded, turned around and took out the tea set to brush the pot to make tea. King Lu sat down with the young man and said, "If Yang Shaoqing wants to go to the bottom of the heavenly pool, there are some old things that have to be known. The young man said: "Please speak!" King Lu said: "Three hundred years ago." Qin Muzong, the founding king of Wuyue State, Lu Wei. Its strength has reached the realm of the Divine Gate. He was once an outstanding warrior in the Lu clan. At that time, as the most likely person in the clan to become the next patriarch, Qin Muzong pursued a higher martial arts realm. Secretly took away the artifact used by the clan to suppress the crypt. Traveled thousands of miles to the Mingyuan Mountain Range of the Eastern Continent, just because there was a treasure of the ancient dragon hidden under the pond that day!" sighed lightly and said, "The ancestor originally thought that with the help of the power of the artifact, he could defeat that black python dragon in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, the python dragon relied on the geographical advantage and relied on the power of the leylines formed by the treasure to fight with it. In the many vicious battles that followed, the ancestor unfortunately lost the treasure, and finally had to make a truce with the python dragon. Later, the ancestors established the Wuyue Kingdom around Mingyuan Mountain, but the elders were thinking about how to recapture the artifact and send it back to their homeland. As far as I know, the crypt suppressed by the clan's artifact was called the Demon Spring in ancient times, and it is said to be an entrance to the Netherworld......"

When the young man heard this, he suddenly interrupted: "Is it the Netherworld Demon Realm!?" King Lu heard the words and said, "Yang Shaoqing knows this place?" The young man said: "I have heard a little about it when I traveled, but I have only heard of this name. I don't know where that crypt is?" King Lu sighed, "I only know that it is somewhere in the Western Continent. It is so far away and unfamiliar to us that there is no way to find it. It's a pity that Lu Wei's ancestor has long since disappeared. Until then, he had been humiliated by the loss of his artifact, so he had not had time to tell his children and grandchildren the exact location of his homeland. ”

King Lu fell into deep thought as he spoke, as if he was sighing for the fate of the Lu people. In the past three hundred years, although the royal family has been beautiful on the surface, it has actually reached the end of the road since the day of Lu Wei's disappearance. Although the descendants of the Lu clan have always used the ancient method to cultivate, for some reason, in the Eastern Continent, which is far away from their homeland, they have not been able to reappear a martial artist like Qin Muzong.

The princess naturally knew about these past events for a long time, and silently brewed beside her, and gently spooned a bowl of fragrant tea for King Lu and the young man. The young man held the glass tea bowl, but he was a little disappointed in his heart, and thought: "If you know the location of the crypt, you will have the opportunity to enter the netherworld to rescue the master!" However, if you can find the artifact that King Lu said, you may be able to find some clues on it. Let's listen to him finish the story first. Then he said to King Lu: "I hope forgive you for the crime of disturbing words, and please continue with King Lu!"

King Lu came back to his senses, waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay." Anyone who hears about the things of another world will be amazed. He took a sip of the tea bowl and continued: "The ancestor of the Lu clan was ordered to guard and hide that crypt. Legend has it that without the suppression of the artifact, the crypt would grow by an inch every year until it regained its original size. Now three hundred years have passed, and the entrance is more than three feet away. As for what could come out of that crypt, we don't know here. Just thinking about it, you know that it is definitely not a good thing for the Yuan Cang Realm. He played with the tea bowl and said, "These stories have been passed down from generation to generation in the royal family of Wuyue. But because of the python dragon, we never had the opportunity to enter the bottom of the heavenly pool to find the treasure. It wasn't until it suddenly fell fifteen years ago that the royal family saw hope again. However, after the death of the python dragon, countless powerful beasts gathered around Tianchi to spy on the treasure. The king sent expeditions to investigate many times, but none of them returned. Even Old Man Mugu's friend, Lu Rong, the sword-wielding elder of the Divine Sword Sect, was buried in that deep mountain. Hate in that operation. At the same time, he also lost the important token of the alliance between the royal family and the python dragon! And without that token, I am afraid that even if I go to the edge of the heavenly pool, I will not be able to break through the barrier left by the python dragon and enter the bottom of the lake. Judging from the spiritual images sent back by Elder Lu Rong, that incident was committed by the old man of the Demon Scorpion. It's a pity that this king has been wanted for more than ten years and has not yet been arrested, which is why I have not sent an expedition to Mingyuan Mountain Tianchi for a long time. ”

Hearing this, the young man lowered his head and drank a sip of fragrant tea, and said secretly in his heart: "That token should be the finger bone of the strange beast I got from Gui Lao." This can't be known to King Lu! Let alone let him know that the old man of the demon scorpion is actually in the national capital, otherwise it will be really troublesome. He raised his head and smiled at King Lu and said, "Since I asked for my order to go to Tianchi, I naturally have a way to break through that enchantment." King Lu smiled: "I did have concerns about this. But after what he saw and heard this morning, this king absolutely believes that Yang Shaoqing has the ability to break through that obstacle. This king has long had no illusions about that dragon treasure, and just wants to ask Yang Shaoqing that you can agree. Help the Lu clan find the artifact. Please, please!" The young man said, "But I don't know what that artifact looks like?" King Lu said: "We descendants have only heard that the artifact is a fist-sized square seal. As for what it looks like, only the ancestors of Lu Wei who used it know. However, I think that since it is an artifact, its momentum must be quite good! If Yang Shaoqing sees it, he will definitely be able to recognize it! In addition, it needs a mantra to receive that artifact. Come with your ears. The boy stepped forward as he said. King Lu whispered a few words in his ear. Finally, the young man got up and said, "I have memorized the mantra." If you can reach the bottom of the lake. I must try my best to find the treasure!" King Lu sat up and saluted: "Okay! It is enough to have Yang Shaoqing's words!" The young man returned the salute: "These are all as they should be." However, it is still necessary for King Lu to issue a decree that the officers and soldiers who blocked the mountain road should not hinder our movements, and do not let the idle people approach Tianchi. ”

King Lu sat down and said with a smile: "This is natural! I will make an order to open the way for Yang Shaoqing today." But don't rush to get going. "Playing with the tea bowl. Suddenly, he said, "What does Yang Shaoqing think of this tea?" The young man sat down again, took a sip and said with a smile: "The tea is fragrant and elegant, and the entrance is smooth." Good tea!Good tea!" King Lu said: "Oh, I don't know if Yang Shaoqing is still a person who understands tea, but I don't know what Shaoqing thinks of the person who makes tea?"

Hearing this, the princess accidentally dropped the teaspoon on the table, blushing and hurriedly picking it up again. Although the young man is young on the surface, he actually has a lot of experience in his previous life, how can he not hear the meaning of King Lu's courtship? Then he coughed dryly, straightened up and said, "Princess Lingyi is naturally my good friend!" The princess sighed secretly when she heard this, turned around and added new tea to King Lu and the young man, and said with a smile: "Father, don't make fun of your daughter anymore!"

King Lu smiled when he knew the young man's intentions, and changed the topic: "I don't know how many men Yang Shaoqing needs? Although the forbidden army can't allocate manpower now, I can deploy some from the troops blocking Mingyuan Mountain." The young man smiled and said, "Thank you, King Lu." But I already know who to choose, I just need people around me!"

Since that competition, King Lu has already seen that this young man is not only very skilled, but even the helpers around him are also very promising, so he did not intervene much, but just arranged according to his words. Let's say that the five people who fell strongly on the Tianchi were the young Yang Rui, the old man of the demon scorpion, the white fox Ren Xue, the nine girls and the white-fronted dragon-eyed tiger. Because the little Xuannu was still sleeping, she was left in the Yang family's courtyard with the Silver Armored Corpse King.

The boy looked around at the four dimensions of the Tiantian Pool, and sure enough, there was no one inhabited, and the sky was endless! Around the lake is soft and chaotic, and the mountains are full of colorful screens. Densely rubbing the red and yellow leaves, climbing and pulling the ripe fragrance. I don't know what to do from afar, and I look like neon up close. Yingying is glorious and speckling. The wind is fluttering, and the sun is shining. There are pines, cypresses, and bamboos in the middle, and there are more maples, more willows, and more mulberries. The dill is wrapped around the ancient tree, and the vine is wrapped around the weeping poplar. The disc is like a frame, and the connection is like a bed. The remnants of the flowers near the water are still brocade, and the incense is far away for no reason. Whoever is a man who does not suffer from thorns, how can he see the thorns of Tianchi grow!

After looking at it for a long time, the young man turned his head to the crowd and said, "There are indeed many strange beasts hidden among the thorns by the lake, and five of them have reached the level of demon beasts. The white fox girl asked, "How deep is this heavenly pool?" The young man said: "I can't see the bottom at a glance, it seems to be a thousand feet deep." However, the edge of the barrier left by the python dragon was already a hundred feet. The girl was shocked: "How can this be good?" The young man knew that the fox clan was naturally afraid of water, and although the white fox was powerful, he would also be afraid when he heard such a depth, and said with a smile: "Sister Ren Xue, don't panic." The demon beasts and demon plants around this Tianchi are estimated to be unable to let us go down after seeing the strength of the white tiger clearly. You and the Nine Girls can't get close to the water, so they just stay on it to block for us. ”

The ninth girl said: "I can only release the fragrance of Zhixiang, so that those poisonous weeds and demon plants can't get close." The white fox girl said, "Then I will deal with the rest of the beasts." The white tiger said: "They can only block the strange beasts on the water, what if they can go into the water?" The young man said: "Well, I'm afraid there will be some." So you stay with them, and don't let any creature come down and disturb us!" said the White Tiger: "These miscellaneous soldiers. Even if I'm the only one there, I won't let them go down. Please rest assured host!"

The boy smiled, "Okay." Everyone be careful. Turning his head and nodding to the old man behind him, the two fell straight to the surface of the lake. Good boy, twist a trick, make an empty talisman, summon the scale shield light cover, wrap the old man with the demon scorpion, and directly cut the waterway and swim to the bottom of the lake.

Roar! Not long after the two of them were submerged in the water, the water surface of the pool suddenly surged! Dark clouds covered the sky and the demonic spirit soared into the sky. The entire area of Tianchi was filled with a thin whisper, as if encouraging the beasts to attack the intruders. As the boy expected. When he saw that the strength of the white-fronted dragon-eyed tiger was only at the demon beast stage, more and more strange beasts walked out of their hiding place with red eyes, fogging with the wind, grinning and slowly gathering towards Ren Xue and the three of them. There are thousands of them!

At this moment, the five demon beasts suddenly made a move! Two of them screamed, and they directly turned over and went into the water, trying to chase after the two young men! Seeing this, the white tiger roared angrily, flew out a white rainbow, jumped forward, and bit the two beasts with their mouths open! The three beasts wrestled with each other, rumbling, the waves crashed on the shore, and the waves rolled thousands of feet. Suddenly, the surface of the lake was stained red with blood that day!

And the other three demon beasts led the beasts, and finally launched an attack on Ren Xue and the nine girls at the same time! The white fox girl was openly not afraid! Drawing her double swords, stepping on the lotus step, blocking in front of the nine girls, she looked down on the beasts and said, "Since it is the order of Brother Mingsnake." Then no one should figure it out here!" After all, I don't know what the underwater treasure is, and listen to the next decomposition. (To be continued......)
