Chapter 3 There are immortals from afar

City Lord Liu Mingjie saw that the overall situation had been decided, and his heart was full of joy.

The submission of all the elders made his power more stable as a rock, and it was certainly worth rejoicing about this, but what made him even happier was that now that all the five keys to open the ancestral box were in his hands, there was no longer any obstacle to using the immortal tokens.

I thought there would be a fierce fight, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Could it be that in the dark, Guan Yu's luck has begun to improve?

As night falls, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually returns to calm.

In the city lord's mansion, Liu Mingjie, with the reverence for the immortals, seriously bathed and changed clothes, burned incense and worshipped, pressed the switch hidden in the secret place, and a sound of machine operation came, and the wall was separated from the middle, slowly revealing a secret room.

The space of the secret room is not large, just simply set up a few tables and chairs, and there is a portrait hanging on the wall facing it, the person in the painting is wearing a green shirt, wearing a high crown, eyebrows like a crescent moon, a few long whiskers fluttering under the chin, hands upside down, looking up at the sky, quite a bit of fairy style.

It was the ancestor of the Liu family who saved the immortal.

Liu Youjie bowed down and bowed three times, and lightly pressed on the middle finger of the ancestor of the Liu family's right hand, and the ground suddenly revealed a three-foot square hole, but it turned out to be an underground secret room entrance, only to see a smooth bronze staircase winding down, reaching the bottom of the basement.

The air in the basement was dry, there was no strange smell, and the furnishings were simpler, with nothing but a futon for meditation.

Liu Mingjie stepped on each of the four corners of the secret room according to the direction of east, west, north and south, and a dark grid was suddenly revealed on the wall, in addition to a brown bronze box, there were several exercises and secret books and some small bottles containing pills.

Liu Mingjie had never opened that box, and he only knew that it was a mysterious box containing immortal tokens.

Liu Mingjie bowed to the box, and then took out the box and put it on the ground.

The appearance of the box is a little old, and there are some alloy bars crisscrossed on the surface, exuding a faint metallic luster, faintly revealing a long-term mystery. There are five lock holes on the top of the box, arranged in the shape of plum blossoms, which is the famous heavenly lock in Pidanzhou. When unlocking, you must turn five keys according to a special law, there must be no slightest error, such as three consecutive errors, the heavenly lock will automatically enter the lock state, to wait until one month later, can be opened again.

This secret method of unlocking is known only to the head of the family.

Liu Mingjie took out five keys, inserted them into the keyhole in order, and turned the keys with a peculiar pattern, only to hear a soft snap, and the heavenly lock was opened.

What's in the box?

Open the box, and there is nothing inside but a box.

Except for the slightly smaller size, this box has almost the same shape in appearance.

When the second chest is opened, there is still only one chest inside.

Open the third chest, and there is still only one chest inside.

Opening the fourth box, there is a big change.

It was filled with a kind of dark gray fine beads, which looked like gold but not gold, like wood but not wood, and I didn't know what kind of material they were made of, and I didn't know what they did, but I felt that it was very heavy and cold in my hand, and as soon as my fingers touched it, it seemed to freeze.

Liu Mingjie used his internal strength to feel that the coldness between his fingers was no longer so strong, and gently gouged open a layer of beads on it, revealing a small box that was one foot square and the same as the box outside. The box was bright, as if it had just been made.

According to the law, the small box was opened, and inside was a small pale golden bell and a crystal green jade pendant. The bottom of the box is also engraved with seven small words: I want to see the immortal rattle more. I think this is the way to contact the immortals, and the jade pendant may be a token of the immortals.

The jade pendant is unusually warm and moist, with some mysterious runes and a short sword engraved on it, and there are a few faint wisps of light blue halo inside the jade pendant slowly circulating.

The bell was engraved with runes, and when you looked closely, it seemed that the clouds were churning, and the runes were constantly flowing between the clouds.

"It's worthy of being a fairy thing! Just looking at it is extraordinary!" Liu Mingjie secretly admired.

When I got out of the room, I found an open area, calmed down, and shook the bell.

"Ding Lingling" bell made a string of pleasant sounds, the runes of the bell bloomed with pale golden light, more and more prosperous, gradually bright, eye-catching, like a dragon traveling clouds and rain, swimming more and more violently, and finally all of them broke away from the bell one by one, and gathered into a one-meter-sized pale golden flying eagle in the air.

The flying eagle glanced at Liu Mingjie very humanely, raised his head and let out a loud hiss, flapped his wings, and rushed into the air like an arrow from the string, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Well, this is the situation of the gods, is this flying eagle going to communicate to the immortals?" Liu Mingjie felt that his head was a little insufficient.

"This immortal thing is really amazing!"

Liu Mingjie exclaimed, and couldn't help but think again, I don't know how far away the immortal is, whether the flying eagle can be found, if the distance is too far, the signal is too weak, wouldn't it be a mistake. After thinking about it a few times, I felt that the ancestors' testament reminded me to rattle the bell more, and I guess I should shake the bell a few more times to be safe.

So, Liu Mingjie shook the bell a few more times, and every time, a flying eagle appeared.

Liu Mingjie is a little happy.

When it was shaken for the eighth time, the bell suddenly exploded with a thud, turning into a little starlight and dissipating into the air.

Liu Mingjie was stunned on the spot!

I don't know if there was some accident, or if the bell would have blown up after using it a few times.

In desperation, Liu Mingjie fell into a long and uneasy wait.

The western part of the Floating Cloud Continent.

A vast primeval forest.

The forest is full of towering trees, their dense foliage propping up in mid-air like huge umbrella covers, blocking most of the sunlight and casting mottled shadows on the ground.

The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, and there was a faint smell of decay.

Deep in the forest, in a very secluded mountain stream.

On the top of a gently rising hill is covered with bluestones of different shapes, and on the top of the hill grows a small tree more than three feet high, with green and crystal green leaves, and two fiery red fruits hanging between the sparse branches and leaves.

The whole body of the fruit was red, like a burning flame, faintly revealing a red halo.

A few feet away from the small hill, a middle-aged man in a green shirt was staring at the two red fruits with his eyes firmly in his eyes.

After a few more hours, the fiery red fruit suddenly emitted an intoxicating fragrance, and then the surface of the fruit burst with a burst of red light, and even the fruit began to vibrate, shaking on the emerald green branches and leaves, and in the next moment, two fist-thick red pillars of light rose from the surface of the fruit, piercing the sky.

"It's exactly this time!" the middle-aged man in the green shirt snorted, his figure blurred for a while, and in the blink of an eye, he had appeared on the top of the slope.

All of a sudden.

"Boom!"

The bluestone on the other side of the hillside suddenly exploded and scattered, a two-foot-sized beast actually drilled out of the ground, shook in the wind, and the body suddenly became more than ten zhang in size, and the sky roared, the air shook violently, and the bluestones around the beast flew up in the air, and between the flashes of light, it condensed into a stone arrow more than one zhang long, and shot at the middle-aged man in the green shirt like lightning.

Everywhere the stone arrows passed, the space collapsed layer by layer, black ripples surged open, and a sharp hissing sound filled the four fields.

In an instant, the stone arrow has reached the middle age of the green shirt.

But the strange beast shook its body, and it was next to the small tree in an instant. Stretch out your furry front paws to pick the red fruit.

"Evil beast, dare!"

The middle-aged man in the green shirt shouted, the spiritual power around his body surged, and with a wave of his right hand, a yellow palm came out, and it became a few zhang in a moment, and the palm shook, stirring up the shadow of the palm in the sky, and directly collided with the swift stone arrow.

There was a loud bang, and the stone arrow was scattered by the palm of his hand, and then burst into debris and shot into the air.

The huge palm didn't pause for a moment, it rushed forward like lightning, and slammed into the air towards the alien beast.

Seeing that the palm was fierce, the killing intent was as awe-inspiring as substance, and the beast did not dare to pick the fruit again, its front paws slapped the ground violently, and it roared wildly in the sky, and a ball of blue and faint thunder and lightning light with a diameter of a few feet shot out of its mouth, and rushed towards the golden giant palm that was slapped from the air.

"The pearl of rice grains also shines!"

The middle-aged man in the green shirt thought about it, and the shape of the golden giant palm seemed to shrink a few points, but it was more powerful, faster, and the whole body was even more transparent with thousands of brilliant golden lights, and it was blatantly photographed against the thunder and lightning ball.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in the green shirt only felt that the Wanli Transmission Bell in the Qiankun Ring trembled violently, and his mind was slightly divided, and the mighty golden giant palm in the air couldn't help but pause.

The blue and faint thunder and lightning ball of light collided with the golden giant palm, and in the earth-shattering loud noise, the ball of light shattered, the giant palm pierced, and the turbulent spiritual energy waves were surging in all directions.

The lightning ball actually blocked the golden giant palm.

The strange beast was already psychic, and when he saw this opportunity, he was willing to let it go, and his front paws stretched out like lightning towards the ripe fruit of the small tree.

"A beast that controls the heavens dares to deceive me!"

The old man in the green shirt screamed angrily, the light in the seal hall flashed, and a small bright silver sword with a length of an inch rushed out.

In the blink of an eye, the small sword turned into a three-foot-long sword, emitting a brilliant brilliance, and rushed towards the alien beast like lightning.

The strange beast suddenly felt a chill all over its body, and just wanted to make a move, the sword light that was like a dragon had reached the top of its head, and it circled around its neck, and the huge head of the strange beast immediately rose to the sky, and the brown and blue blood gushed out from the headless corpse, and the next moment, the huge body of the strange beast fell to the ground with a bang.

Shi Shiran, a middle-aged man in a green shirt, walked to the side of the small tree, took out a purple jade box from the Qiankun ring, carefully picked the two fruits, and put them in the box.

"Now that the main materials for refining the Heaven Snatching Pill are in hand, the hope of breaking through is a little bigger!

The old man in the green shirt sighed, and his heart moved, the box had been included in the Qiankun ring, and there was an extra pale golden bell in his hand.

It was the bell that sent the message to the mother and son.

More than 100 years ago, the old road was besieged by a strong enemy, seriously injured, in order to avoid pursuit, traveled far away, hid in the small city of the sky, seriously injured when the life was in danger, was rescued by a child surnamed Liu.

In order to appreciate the grace of his rescue, after the old man in Tsing Yi recovered from his injury, he used his natal true yuan to refine this pair of Wanli Messenger Bell Zimu Bell, gave Ziling to the family surnamed Liu, and left a promise that he was willing to solve a family crisis for the Liu family.

More than 100 years have passed, and there has been no news from the Liu family, but there is no movement today.

The old man in the green shirt pointed a little, and the bell floated in the air, bursting out with a pale golden light, and a flying eagle appeared in the light.

After a clear chirp, the flying eagle shattered open, turned into a little blue light, and slowly gathered, and the phantom of a city appeared.

The city is a thumbnail of the cupola city.

"Is it still the Cupola?" the old man muttered to himself, as if he remembered a lot of past events.

"Okay, just go and end this cause and effect to purify my Dao heart!"

The wait is undoubtedly long, and waiting in panic is tormenting.

Since the bell was damaged, the city lord Liu Mingjie's heart has never been put down, and he has been tormented in waiting all day long, living in panic.

If he lost contact with the immortals because of his own reasons, Liu Mingjie didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't bear it.

On the first day, no immortals came.

The next day, there were no immortals.

Day 3, morning.

"Family Master, do you think the immortals can still come?" the third elder asked.

Liu Mingjie looked into the distance, his expression solemn, and did not answer.

"Just wait quietly, you ask the master of the family, how can he know!" said the second elder.

"I'm not in a hurry, and I don't mean anything else. The Third Elder said.

"Yes, we are all in a hurry, isn't the head of the family in a hurry! Don't disturb the head of the house!" the Great Elder helped the Second Elder speak.

"You ......." The three elders wanted to refute, but they knew that they were weak and could not defeat the two of them together, so they stopped talking.

"You all go back, Guan Yu and I just have to wait here. Liu Mingjie thought for a while and said.

So, everyone left one after another, and a large number of people were waiting for the arrival of the immortals in the courtyard, but only Liu Mingjie and his son were left.

The two glanced at each other, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

"Father, the immortals will still come, right?" Liu Guanyu was young after all, and he didn't calm down.

"Yes, the immortals will definitely come!" Liu Mingjie said in an unquestioning tone. Although he himself was also very worried and very uncertain, he had to say so, he had to give Liu Guanyu confidence.

The sun was slowly rising higher and higher, and it was noon again.

A look of disappointment emerged from Liu Guanyu's face.

"Father took so much trouble to activate the immortal token, is it still a failure!"

"Is it really fate!"

Seeing that Liu Guanyu was a little decadent, Liu Mingjie immediately comforted: "Child, nine times out of ten, things in the world are unsatisfactory, we must learn to endure, wait and persevere, even if the immortals do not come, it is not the end of the world, not to mention, it is not yet the last moment, no one can predict it." ”

"In short, don't give up easily!"

Liu Guanyu nodded: "Father, I understand!"

It's noon.

In the distant sky, a little silver light suddenly appeared, moving quickly in the air like thunder, like a meteor across the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a few zhang in size, and it was actually a silver flying boat, flying straight towards the city lord's mansion.

The flying boat broke through the clouds and moved quickly, setting off waves of clouds, like a speedboat speeding in the water, and there was a brilliant silver light bursting out around the boat, and the sun's rays could not cover up the slightest.
