Chapter 16: The Immortal Princess
Yang Rui walked quickly across the beach by the lake and onto the sand dunes, and didn't bother to study the patterns on the huge wooden pillars around the altar, so he came directly to the boat-shaped coffin, and stared at the immortal princess who had been sleeping on a woolen carpet for ten thousand years.
There was a tremor from the depths of the spirit in a trance in my heart, a feeling of déjà vu echoed in my mind, and I subconsciously gently lifted the tulle covering the princess's face, revealing a dream-like face, with a petite face, a slightly upturned cherry mouth, a high nose, phoenix eyes closed, long eyelashes, countable, thick silver hair, slightly curly, scattered behind the shoulders.
A warm fragrance came, Yang Rui's confused face had almost reached the princess's cheeks, and he woke up from his trance suddenly, and hurriedly raised his body to look at the sleeping beauty that can definitely be described as amazing, his heart beat faster, his blood was boiling, and he felt a little hot on his face.
Surrounded by countless mysteries since birth, bizarre birth, the gap between genius and mediocrity, the death of his mother, the disappearance of his father, and the cynicism he suffered as a result, Yang Rui, who was naturally optimistic and free-spirited, prematurely revealed that independent, composed, calm and introverted heart that did not match his age. And the deep and vast eyes added a bit of coldness and grandeur after the desert experience and the pain of refining the body for more than half a month. But after all, he was only twelve years old and a young boy who stepped out of Jiaocheng for the first time. In addition to his mother, when has he ever been in close contact with a woman of such a young age?
Yang Rui forced himself to turn around and not look at the sleeping beauty, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for not having enough concentration, but he was so uncompromising, and easily got up, isn't this taking advantage of the danger of others!?"
But it's no wonder that the appearance of this immortal princess is a little bigger than the gatekeeper who is guarding outside the holy land!
Yang Rui pondered in his heart, how could that shriveled old monster and this sleeping beauty be of the same race?!
And what Yang Rui didn't know was that because there was no formation protection outside the holy land, it was seriously affected by the fluctuation of the fire attribute vitality in the Western Desert, even if he was wrapped in a thick cloth and then hid in the coffin, Rao is gatekeeper was extremely strong, and after 10,000 years of baking, he would inevitably lose water, and he had already dried up to the point of not being human.
Even so, it is admirable to faithfully guard this sacred land of the undead race. Who didn't make himself scary like that, and with his strength, he didn't have to do this, but Yang Rui was wrong to blame people in this regard.
Yang Rui, who had calmed down, began to carefully examine the patterns carved on the huge wooden pillars, which continued to tell the story of the Nine Infants' invasion.
At that time, the patriarch of the undead clan united the power of the nine elders and used the princess as the eye of the array to lay down a spatial rune array, and reluctantly sealed the nine infants in the deepest part of the city. The patriarch and the nine elders were seriously injured and suffered heavy losses, and the princess also fell into a deep sleep because of the exhaustion of her life. The rest of the clan placed the princess on the altar of the Holy Land and activated the formation before leaving, making it isolated from the rest of the world.
The patriarch disappeared after laying down the spatial barrier, and before leaving, he predicted that the chosen person would appear in the future with the Dharma Protector Array Stone to save the princess. As for how to save it, Yang Rui looked at these pillars and didn't find an answer, and suddenly remembered the gatekeeper's words, "It doesn't take much strength to wake up the princess, you just need to take the Dharma Protector Array Stone and complete the energy fusion with the princess in that holy water." Suddenly I felt that my face turned red again.
But it's always easier to say than to do, Yang Rui didn't think that waking up the immortal princess would be so easy, otherwise someone would have done it for so many years.
Since the pattern on the cylinder mentions the Dharma Protector Formation Stone, it is very likely that the formation will need to be activated during the ceremony, and how to activate it has never been mentioned. Yang Rui groped on the sand dunes for a long time, but he didn't find a keyhole, rune, or anything.
The day passed quickly, and fortunately, there was a lot of food and water stored in the tunnel in the cave in front of him, so Yang Rui didn't have to worry about being hungry. Moreover, the water attribute vitality here is sufficient, and when he was resting, Yang Rui seized the time to cultivate and gather qi, and gradually adjusted his body and mind to the best state to cope with whatever was about to happen next.
The next day, Yang Rui spent another whole day exploring the cave inside and out, but still found nothing, and no other buildings or objects were found in the cave except for the tunnel in front of it and the sand dunes.
The most important thing is that Gu observed, there seemed to be no other way out of this holy place except for the heavy stone gate, which made Yang Rui a little anxious, because the time for the meeting with Zhang Lao was only seven days left!
In the past two days, Yang Rui deliberately avoided the boat-shaped coffin, so as not to let his eyes touch the sleeping princess too much, because he knew that he was actually not a decent gentleman, as the saying goes, men and women are in the same room, dry wood and fire, and I really don't know when I can't help but do something stupid.
Yang Rui has his own principles to adhere to, if he wants to do it, he will do it openly, but he is not taking advantage of the danger of others at this time!
In the cave covered with fluorescent crystals, Yang Rui sat alone on the beach by the water, quietly breathing the surrounding vitality, placing his consciousness on every pore on the skin of his body, feeling that the vitality slowly gathered into the dantian through the pores. It's a pity that no matter how hard he tries, he can't see the situation in the dantian, and he doesn't feel full at all.
The search yielded no results, and all he could do now was to cultivate, and with a sigh of relief, Yang Rui withdrew from the state of gathering qi, and lay down on the beach boredly, feeling the pendant around his neck in his hand and looking up at the starry fluorescence on the top of the cave.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he noticed the giant crystal above the spring, and there was a huge rune engraved in the crystal.
With a burst of joy, he quickly took out the Dharma Protector Array Stone in his arms, and saw that the shape of the runes in it was indeed the same as the touch on his head!
Yang Rui swam to the center of the pool of spring water, raised the Dharma Protector Array Stone above his head, and tried to pour his consciousness into it, and the array of stones really glowed with a faint blue light and made a buzzing sound.
I saw the Dharma Protector Array Stone float up from Yang Rui's hand, suspended between the giant crystal and the spring water, the runes in it moved and arranged into a pattern, and a beam of blue light suddenly shot towards the huge runes in the crystal at the top of the cave.
The moment the blue light touched the rune, the water attribute element flow in the crystal suddenly rotated violently, and a gust of wind pressure directly pressed Yang Rui under the water!
Yang Rui didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so he quickly swam to the shore and ran to the altar, and the wind pressure had turned into a small tornado at this time, sucking the spring water into the air, and the area of the pool of spring water was rapidly decreasing.
Yang Rui thought as he ran, "Oh, I'm in trouble!" If this spring water is sucked dry, how can I save the immortal princess!?
Ran to the boat-shaped coffin at full speed, picked up the sleeping beauty wrapped in black transparent veil, and only felt that the hand was as soft as boneless, smooth as agar, fragrant and smooth as jade, but at this time, Yang Rui couldn't care about so much, turned around and immediately ran back towards the spring.
In just a few minutes, the water surface of the pool of spring water had shrunk from the original number of zhang to only a zhang wide, and Yang Rui jumped into the rising spring water without thinking about it.
As soon as they entered the range of the whirlpool, they only felt a feeling of weightlessness, and the two of them were directly thrown into the tornado in mid-air. Under the huge crystal, the whirlwind was getting bigger and bigger, and the spring water was almost exhausted, revealing a bottomless cave under the deep pool, Yang Rui closed his eyes and tightly protected the princess in his arms, and the clothes on the two of them were torn apart by the wind, and it didn't take long for them to finally faint.
In the wind, his mind was buzzing, Yang Rui was in a trance, feeling that the momentum of the rotation had finally slowed down, his hands were still on the elastic waist of the princess, the orchid was fragrant, the two were close together, without any movement, a warm energy wrapped himself and the princess together, and everything around him, along with time, seemed to suddenly stand still.
At this time, above the bottomless spring, under the giant crystal, a ball of water several feet wide was formed, in which the bodies of Yang Rui and the princess loomed.
At the bottom of the water sphere is the Protector Array Stone, which is absorbing the energy from the giant crystal at the top of the cave and constantly replenishing it into the water ball. Except for the vortex of vitality in the giant crystal, everything in the entire cave was calm again.
In this way, time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it was another five days. The color of the giant crystal had changed from dark blue to light blue, and the vortex of vitality had gradually slowed down, and the water balloon had become smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely on the sixth day.
As the water ball disappeared, the giant crystal on the top of the cave also became completely transparent, and the two people floating in mid-air suddenly fell, and the immortal princess suddenly opened her eyes when she was about to fall into the bottomless cave.
It was a pair of silver eyes as bright as the dawn sun, staring at the man beside him with complicated eyes, snorting softly, taking his hand and jumping to the beach next to the low cave of the spring in an instant. The silver hair of the shawl, the toned waist, and the flowing movements can be described as perfect.
Casually throwing Yang Rui on the beach, the princess stretched out her hand, and the Dharma Protector Array Stone hanging in mid-air fell on her slender hand, and without saying a word, she turned around and walked towards the path of the cave.
After half a ring, Yang Rui opened his eyes with difficulty, and vaguely saw a silver-haired shawl, wearing a purple corset one-piece leather coat, a graceful back with blue scales and light armor, and a crystal sword in his hand!
"Princess?" Yang Rui rubbed his eyes and muttered.
"Hurry up and put on your clothes!" the princess seemed to be a little impatient, but Yang Rui was now sore, and she could only reluctantly stand up and slowly put on a set of brown linen clothes beside her.
After Yang Rui got dressed, the princess turned around and threw a dagger that fell on the beach, and said coldly: "Pick it up, you kill yourself!"
