Chapter 137: Broken Mirror
Xiaoqing heard Dong Xiaolong say this, and she didn't mention Li Wei's matter again, at least she knew now that Dong Xiaolong would not blame her for not telling the truth. Or maybe he didn't think about Li Wei, so he didn't mean the importance of Li Wei. However, now that they are in the ancient ruins, they can't leave easily.
When Dong Xiaolong saw Han Yue's appearance, he should not have fallen into a hallucination: "Sister, you are not affected?"
"No, the general illusion doesn't work for me at all. However, I can't help you get out of the illusion, so I'll go ahead and take a look. "Hanyue was deeply taught by Tang Hanfeng, and the ordinary illusion was already immune to her.
"Sister, have you found anything?" Dong Xiaolong asked.
"This can be said to be the real Moonmirror Lake, and if you look closely, you will find that it is exactly the same as the Moonmirror Lake outside the ruins. It's an enclosed space, though, and I couldn't find an exit. Hanyue's expression also became a little serious.
"There is no exit, there is such a strong light source here, what is the glow on the roof of the cave?" Dong Xiaolong didn't expect that this would be a closed space, so the light source here must be some kind of item.
"It was a light-attribute treasure that illuminated the surface of the Moonmirror Lake through the light released by itself, and then illuminated the entire space through the reflection of the lake. ”
While the two were talking, Qin Yi also woke up. Qin Yi's expression didn't change much, it seemed that the illusion didn't have much effect on him. "Uncle, are you okay?" Qin Yi first asked Dong Xiaolong about his situation.
"I'm fine, the illusion doesn't have much impact on me, but you, breaking the illusion costs a lot. Dong Xiaolong didn't expect that the first thing Qin Yi did when he woke up was to ask him about his situation first. Although Qin Yi was sent by the Qin family to explore the ruins, he was quite loyal to his uncle.
"I didn't study illusions, so it took me some time to break them. Qin Yi said slowly. With Qin Yi's strength, the ordinary illusion couldn't affect him, but it was extremely difficult for him to discover the way to crack it.
"Let's unseal He Weisheng first!" Dong Xiaolong stretched out his hand to help He Weisheng break the illusion.
"Uncle can't, He Weisheng is an enemy, we might as well leave him here!" Qin Yi stopped Dong Xiaolong, in his opinion, He Weisheng's existence was always a hidden danger.
"Let's keep him for the time being! Interest is a constraint between us, as long as he is profitable, he will not turn against us, and it is always good to have one less enemy. "Dong Xiaolong began to destroy the illusion of why only the saint.
Han Yue didn't express an opinion, and in her eyes, He Weisheng was insignificant. Even if he was the pavilion master of Qifeng Pavilion, Han Yue might not be afraid of him.
Dong Xiaolong injected spiritual power into He Weisheng's soul, and soon He Weisheng gradually woke up, Dong Xiaolong asked, "Brother He, how do you feel?"
He Weisheng's expression did not change, he looked at Dong Xiaolong and said very calmly: "Thank you Brother Dong for rescuing." ”
"It's okay, but we have bigger problems next. Dong Xiaolong knew that everyone's illusions should be his own demons, and it seemed that He Weisheng was not greatly affected.
"Brother Dong, what have you discovered?" He Weisheng quickly entered the state.
Everyone gathered around, and Dong Xiaolong began to speak: "The place we have entered now, there is no other exit except here, which means that we are in a desperate situation. ”
"Could it be that we're going the wrong way?" Xiaoqing said softly.
When Han Yue heard this, her expression changed slightly, and her eyes gradually looked at Xiaoqing. "You're questioning me?" Hanyue said softly.
"Xiaoqing didn't mean that. Dong Xiaolong hurriedly explained to Xiaoqing, "The next way, we have to find it ourselves." ”
"Any clues?" He Weisheng continued to ask.
"Except for the lake, which is the glowing treasure on the top of the cave, there are only these two clues here. Dong Xiaolong felt that the direction of breaking the formation could only be found from these two places.
"Light-attribute treasures are very common in this world, but I have never heard of them that can be kept in the ruins for so long. He Weisheng expressed his opinion.
"Qin Yi, what do you think?" Dong Xiaolong looked at Qin Yi, only Qin Yi and He Weisheng had the most knowledge here, after all, the cold moon had been sleeping for a thousand years.
"Uncle, this is an ancient ruin, and it may be some kind of formation from the ancients, so we still have to find out its formation. ”
"Array of eyes. Then we still start from the top of the cave and the underwater to find a way to break the formation. Dong Xiaolong's train of thought was still the same as at the beginning, "Sister Hanyue and I went to inspect the glowing treasures, Qin Yi and Brother He went to the lake to look for them, and Xiaoqing was waiting for us in the same place." ”
Cold Moon rose directly into the air, but Dong Xiaolong was already standing in place: "Sister Cold Moon......"
Xiao Qing looked at Dong Xiaolong's embarrassed appearance and smiled softly: "Do you still plan to keep me on the shore?" Xiao Qing said and flew into the air, stretching out his hand at Dong Xiaolong.
Dong Xiaolong scratched his head and smiled, grabbing Xiaoqing's hand. He only considered the impact of the strong light, but he forgot that he couldn't fly, and originally planned to fly with Edgeworth, but with Xiaoqing taking him, he avoided being exposed in front of He Weisheng.
Xiaoqing took Dong Xiaolong to approach the glowing treasure, and Dong Xiaolong immediately said to Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, close your eyes." Dong Xiaolong closed his eyes as he spoke, releasing his spiritual power.
The spiritual power spread, and Dong Xiaolong saw the things on the top of the cave clearly. It was a diamond-shaped gem, nothing strange about it, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"I've looked at this gem, and there's nothing special about it, but I can't take it down. Han Yue said to Dong Xiaolong.
Dong Xiaolong turned his head to look at Han Yue, who was looking directly at the diamond-shaped gem, "Sister Hanyue, could this gem be some kind of mechanism?" Dong Xiaolong said and reached out to touch the diamond-shaped gem, but in the next second, a force shook his hand away.
"It's useless, the barrier above here is at least left by the powerhouses of the Tribulation Realm, and it is almost impossible to forcibly break it. "Cold Moon has tried it before, and even she can't break this barrier.
"If the gray-robed man was one step ahead of us, then how did he get out of here?" Dong Xiaolong walked all the way through the cave, but found no trace of the gray-robed man. This means that either he hasn't reached this point yet, or he's solved the puzzle and moved on to the next place.
The water of the Moon Mirror Lake only entered here after the ruins were opened, and this glowing diamond-shaped gem was on the one hand to match the reflection of the lake surface and create a mirror illusion, so what was it like when there was no lake here? Dong Xiaolong kept thinking about various possibilities, and finally set his sights on the lake.
Qin Yi and He Weisheng searched underwater, but they didn't find anything, the bottom of the lake was flat, there were no rocky ravines, it was a well-repaired pool. The two of them didn't find anything, so they surfaced and signaled to Dong Xiaolong, but they didn't find anything.
Dong Xiaolong looked down at the lake carefully, but found that there was no shadow of the three of them on it, "Sister Hanyue, look at this lake, there is no shadow of us." ”
Han Yue and Xiaoqing took Dong Xiaolong close to the lake, even if they were so close, there was still no shadow of the three of them. Qin Yi also took He Weisheng to the three of them, He Weisheng carefully observed the surface of the lake, and when the two of them came out of the water, there was not a trace of waves on the surface of Yuejing Lake.
"Could it be that this secret is still on the surface of this lake?" Dong Xiaolong muttered to himself.
He Weisheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe the other side of this lake is the real space. ”
"Then how do you think we should get to the other side of the lake?" Dong Xiaolong asked. Qin Yi and He Weisheng had just come out of the lake, which showed that the lake was real, and it was not a trick.
"There must be some special connection between this glowing gem and the mirror-like surface of the lake. He Weisheng said the same point of view as Dong Xiaolong.
Dong Xiaolong thought of the illusion just now, looked at the current lake, and remembered the scene when he fell into the water in the illusion, Dong Xiaolong suddenly thought of the most critical thing: "It's light! The most critical thing from beginning to end is the light source." Because light has a mirror on the surface of the lake, and without this light source, there would be no mirror. ”
"In this way, there is no shadow in the mirror, is it a reminder to us to eliminate the mirror?" He Weisheng instantly understood what Dong Xiaolong meant.
Dong Xiaolong thought of an idea, so he immediately set his eyes on the diamond-shaped gem on the top of the cave, and the rock barrier gradually rose on the top of the cave, and finally blocked all the light sources of the diamond-shaped gem, and everyone fell into darkness. "Close your eyes and fall freely. Dong Xiaolong didn't use any spiritual power, completely closing his vision.
Everyone fell into the water at the same time, an invisible pressure suppressed everyone's true qi, and Dong Xiaolong's rock barrier also dissipated in an instant. Everyone kept falling, it was a long process, only Qin Yi and He Weisheng knew that the distance that everyone slowly fell had already exceeded the height of the lake.
Gradually, everyone vaguely felt the light, but no one opened their eyes until everyone gradually surfaced. Dong Xiaolong was the first to open his eyes, and looking around, he found the land not far away.
"We succeeded!" Dong Xiaolong said with some excitement.
The others also opened their eyes, and when they saw the land, their eyes were a little more happy. The effect of the lake water suppressing the true qi is still there, and everyone's true qi still can't be mobilized, but the cold moon is a little different.
Where Cold Moon put her hands on the surface of the water, she gradually formed an ice floe, and Cold Moon lifted herself out of the water through the ice floe. The moment her body left the water, the suppressive effect of True Qi vanished. The cold air continued to spread under his feet again, and a thick layer of ice formed on the surface of the lake in an instant, and Dong Xiaolong and the others also climbed onto the ice and recovered their true qi.
As everyone approached the shore, Dong Xiaolong saw the same forest as in his own fantasy. Dong Xiaolong quickly approached the forest with some excitement, but he didn't find the shadow of the Blood Bone Shaping Grass. "It seems that it is in the illusion, or because I have an obsession with the Blood Shaping Bone Grass, which is why I saw it there. Dong Xiaolong said in a low voice.
"Brother Dong, if you look carefully, maybe there will really be Blood Bone Shaping Grass here. Although this ancient relic is in another space, it still exists in the area of Kunshan. Since there will be blood and bone shaping grass in the outside world, there may be one in this ruin. He Weisheng walked to Dong Xiaolong's side and comforted.
"Look at my fate with the Blood Shaping Bone Grass!" Dong Xiaolong looked up and found a thin mist not far away, and he vaguely saw a building in the fog, "Brother He, look ahead, there seems to be something there." ”
He Weisheng looked in the direction of Dong Xiaolong's finger, and his eyes also revealed surprise.
