Chapter 242: Something Under the Sea
There is no blue sea and blue sky, no starlight and moon shadow, no vain sea, black fog is heavy, I don't know what day it is.
A fist-sized flame hung from the bow of the ship, swaying in the cold sea breeze.
Under the faint blue flames, Lu Qi stood at the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, he stared at a pitch-black sea, his eyes were deep.
The black rooster stood at the stern of the boat with his little head held high, staring at a pair of cross-eyed eyes, and staring at the sea tightly, his round little eyes showed a puzzled look, and his head swayed from side to side, stupid.
The sea of innocence is too calm, this is not normal.
The last time the ship sailed here, a hurricane suddenly rose on the sea, the waves were raging, the black fog was surging, and the sea beasts were in chaos.
But today, Lu Qi and the black rooster waited for a long time, and they didn't see the peachwood boat swaying.
Where have all the sea beasts of the Infinite Sea gone?
The peachwood boat moved forward slowly, smoothly and steadily, through the black fog, all the way to the east.
Until the black rooster crows three times, a bright moon-like hollow silver ring rises from the sea, and the bright moonlight instantly smudges the calm and waveless sea.
Just like ten years ago, the entrance to Mt. Yutan has arrived.
The silver ring that waited for the brilliance to circulate was completely on the sea of Wufu, the size of the moon cave door, and the peach boat slowly approached and stopped in front of the silver ring.
Lu Qi poured the blood in the jade bottle into the silver ring, and this blood was squeezed out of Xue Qun's fingertips.
There is no other light source on the mountain except for the green fire floating around, like a lonely tomb surrounded by ghost fire, in the dark sea, in the forgotten wilderness.
Lu Qi was in a trance for a moment, and this place was not the same as before.
The places he and Xiaozhi have been to together, from Chunyi City, to Baihua City, to Qinglan City, are not as good as the other, and they are all unbelievable, and they are no longer the same.
Even this secluded mountain is not the scene when he and Xiaozhi came together.
Lu Qi was inexplicably flustered in his heart, he didn't know what time it was in heaven and earth?
On August 15, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he suddenly remembered that ten years ago, he said to Xiaozhi on the top of the Moon Observatory: The most beautiful thing on the Moon Observatory is the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and I will take you here to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year.
It's been ten years, and the white jade on the top of the moon platform has been full of cracks, can he and Xiaozhi go there again to enjoy the reunion moon?
The peachwood boat entered the sea area of Youtan Mountain, but Lu Qi did not rush to the shore.
He pinched the trick to avoid the water and jumped into the sea.
The black rooster stood on the side of the ship, looking at the dark sea, with a bewildered expression.
The sea is unfathomable, as black as the night, and the sea is so cold that mortals cannot approach it.
Lu Qi held a cloud of blue thunder fire in his palm and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
The broken sea beast roams in silence, smelling the intruder's breath, and does not attack, as tame as a small fish in a water tank.
Xue Suying once said: What is in the sea of the world, there is nothing in the sea of innocence, but what is in this sea is not a living thing, it is an undead, also known as a ghost beast.
Why have the ghost beasts that set off stormy waves ten years ago become so cautious now, and what are they afraid of?
Finally sinking to the bottom of the sea, the bottom of the sea seems to be covered with glowing green algae, dispelling the endless darkness, these are the spiritual light emitted by the powerful ghost beasts, they are potential to the bottom of the sea all year round, and they will not surface easily.
And Lu Qi happened to meet once on the sea.
These ghosts and beasts are all fragmented and incomplete, some as big as mountains, some as small as ants, all of them are clothed in a faint green aura.
How did the fierce things of the past become so quiet?
Even though Lu Qi stepped on them, they didn't make any other movements except for staring at them, and they didn't even stir up the slightest ripple.
Ten years ago, those ghost beasts that made waves had been whipped away by Lu Qiji's whip, but these ghost beasts who did not participate in the attack should not know him, and the sea is boundless, and the sea beasts and undead do not know how many, it is impossible for them all to remember the incident ten years ago.
There is something strange about this bottom of the sea.
Could it be related to Jiang Liansheng's life experience?
Lu Qi looked around and finally found an abnormality.
In the boundless ghost beast fluorescence, there was a pitch-black valley, and the ghost beasts surrounded the valley, not daring to take a step closer.
What is hidden in that dark place?
Lu Qi stood at the edge of the valley, thought for a while, and threw the thunder fire in his palm into the sky above the valley, only to see the thunder fire suddenly burst out with a blazing blue light, and the surrounding scene came into view.
When he saw the things in the valley clearly, Lu Qi was frightened and quickly extinguished the thunder fire.
At the moment when the thunder fire ignited, the ghosts and beasts around the valley fled in panic like frightened lambs.
At this moment, in this sea area, there is only darkness left that can not be seen.
Lu Qi stood in this thick darkness, and the horror in his heart lingered for a long time.
How did these things end up here?
Can the ghost lord Qianwei know about this?
The things in the valley, Lu Qi is very familiar, ten years ago, his life was almost confessed in the Hundred Ghost Array, how could he not remember the ghost spirit that devoured immortals in the Hundred Ghost Array.
The more than 1,000 demons that escaped from the Hundred Ghost Array, he searched all walks of life, but never found a clue.
Unexpectedly, they did not come out of the Youtan Mountain at all, but hid at the bottom of this unruly seabed.
But they finally got out of the Hundred Ghost Formation, why did they hide under this deep sea?
Lu Qi's mind turned slightly, and he had a faint premonition that something bad was wrong.
By the light of thunder and fire just now, he saw the devils in the valley, all of them in a state of sleep with their eyes closed.
Jiang Liansheng said that he woke up from a dark sea, so could he be the same......
Why did he wake up?
Why did he follow the twig?
Lu Qi suddenly remembered something, and he was instantly struck by lightning.
If this matter is really as Lu Qi thought, wouldn't Xiaozhi's current situation be very dangerous?
Lu Qi didn't linger any longer, flicked his sleeves and flew towards the sea above the valley, he was going to find the ghost master Qianwei to ask for clarification.
Youtan Mountain is a mountain in the ghost world, similar to the fairy mountain in the upper realm, it is a rootless mountain, although it is located on the Wufu Sea, but it is like a big ship floating on the water, under the surface of the sea, there is no hard reef deep into the bottom of the sea.
But Lu Qi found that the bottom of the huge mountain range was full of black rocks unique to Youtan Mountain.
There are three treasures in Youtan Mountain: one is the ghost beast under the sea, the undead of the sea beast in the Void Sea, which is the elixir of the ghost of Youtan Mountain supplemented by cultivation.
The second is the spiritual fire in the belly of the mountain, this spiritual fire is born from nature, and it can melt all things, but unlike the red lotus karmic fire, which can be hidden in the ghost cultivation, the spiritual fire cannot be used at will, because there are very few things that are not melted by the spiritual fire.
In the entire ghost world, there is only one thing that can be placed in spiritual fire, and that is the black rock of Nanshan Mountain, the third treasure of Youtan Mountain.
At the southern foot of Youtan Mountain, where the black rock is located, the grass and trees do not grow, and the birds and beasts do not come.
And the black rock because of its indestructibility, can be the enemy of all things, is enshrined as a sacred object of the Youtan Mountain.
The ghost lord Qianwei's soul-locking whip is made of black rock.
There is a kind of torture in Youtan Mountain, that is, the spiritual fire in the belly of the mountain is used as a guide, and the bones of ghosts and beasts under the sea are burned as charcoal, which is hidden in a black rock urn all year round, and is called "the punishment of charcoal fire".
This punishment is to strip the prisoner of his clothes, put the bone charcoal on the skin and flesh, and in a moment, the faint fluorescent bone char can rot the flesh and turn into the skin, seep into the flesh and blood, use the body as an urn, wander the whole body, everywhere he goes, a piece of blood and rotten flesh, miserable. Even ghosts will be burned into ashes, and their souls will be extinguished.
A mountain of swords and a sea of fire comparable to hell.
Unexpectedly, there are black rocks at the bottom of the mountain, which has not entered the sea.
What Lu Qi didn't expect was that the deep sea valley where the devil was hiding was right below the black rocks.
