Chapter 202 Water Late Autumn
In the ice cave deep in the bottom of the snow-capped mountain, in the depths of the ravine filled with endless cold aura, a pair of blue eyes suddenly opened, and at the moment when those eyes opened, the endless cold aura around them surged together, scattering in all directions, as if they did not dare to block their gaze.
"Actually opened the land of inheritance, what do you mean, old fellow?"
After the eyes opened, his gaze seemed to be able to travel through endless distances, landing on the pitch-black altar at the bottom of the Yan Lake in the Cold Flame Valley, and after a moment, a wave of vicissitudes of life echoed leisurely in the depths of this ravine.
Just after these words sounded, a ghostly light suddenly flashed in the sky beyond the snowy mountain, and then, the ghostly light directly submerged into the snowy mountain and disappeared.
In the ice cave deep underground, the ghostly light broke through all the ice, and in an instant, it flew into the ravine filled with endless cold aura, and landed in front of those blue eyes, turning into a white jade slip that shimmered with light.
"Descendant bloodline of the god of war?"
The blue eyes swept the white jade slip to understand the content, but after sweeping the jade slip, the blue eyes suddenly shone brightly, and they were full of their own complex emotions, some shocked, some incredulous, some hesitated, some reminisced, and more surprised and excited.
Going back to the depths of the altar, since Qiao Yuan and Qu Yunwei discovered the carving of the Macaculate Tiger Beast, their speed of flying down was much slower, and the two of them kept scanning the stone walls on all sides, trying to find the carving of the mysterious demon beast.
"Qiao Yuan, you didn't see the figure and appearance of that mysterious demon beast clearly, how can we find it?"
Qu Yunwei heard his thoughts, frowned slightly, and asked softly.
"Eyes, its eyes I will never forget, and I will not admit mistakes. ”
Qiao Yuan opened his mouth without thinking, and after speaking, he remembered those blue eyes, which made his heart tremble, and he hurriedly swept his divine sense to the surrounding stone walls again.
Those blue eyes, with a contempt for all indifference, as if everything in this world is no different from plants, trees, flowers and stones in its eyes, it will not let it have the slightest emotional fluctuations, in addition, those eyes are also full of exhaustion and vicissitudes, as if they have survived endless years, and have seen too many personnel changes.
When Qu Yunwei heard this, her eyebrows furrowed even more, she asked Qiao Yuan what kind of eyes she had, but unfortunately Qiao Yuan couldn't describe it, she could only experience it by seeing it with her own eyes.
Qu Yunwei was silent, no longer asked, and simply paid attention to the stone wall carving, she had no friends except for cultivation since she was a child, so she usually relied on reading some classics as a pastime, at this moment she showed a strange light, and saw a lot of people and beasts recorded in the classics on this stone wall carving.
"This is the predecessor of Shui Shenqiu?"
Suddenly, Qu Yunwei's eyes froze, and she quickly flew to the front of the stone wall, her face showed surprise, and she said softly.
This kind of look of surprise almost never appeared on Qu Yunwei's face, and at this moment she was as happy as a child to see the person she admired.
Qiao Yuan noticed this scene and immediately flew to her side, and saw Qu Yunweiyu's hand gently caressing a humanoid carving on the stone wall.
This carving is a woman, this woman looks extremely feminine, but there is a majesty and domineering in her eyes, which can be seen at a glance that this woman must be a person who has been in a high position all year round.
"Who is this?"
Qiao Yuan looked at Qu Yunwei's eyes with a strange light, and asked softly with curiosity in his heart.
"She is the ninth generation ancestor of my Yuehe Sect, the predecessor of Shui Shenqiu. ”
Qu Yunwei blinked, her face full of admiration, and said very seriously.
"The ninth generation of the Ancestor?"
Qiao Yuan's eyes showed doubts, he didn't know much about the history of the Moon River Sect, but when he was in the ancestral hall of the Ancient Fengfu of May Peak and Duan Tiangu to worship the master, he had seen the portraits of the ancestors of the previous generations of May Peak, and he didn't know anything else.
"Shui Shenqiu's predecessor is a legend of the Yuehe Sect, the cultivation is unfathomable, at that time in the Chu Water Country was known as the first person, even in the entire Nantai Continent, she is also a famous person, except for a few people, no one is her opponent, so the Yuehe Sect of that year can be said to be the strongest sect in the Nantai Continent, once reached the most glorious moment. ”
At this moment, Qu Yunwei seemed to be a different person, her words were gushing, and she kept telling Qiao Yuan about the glorious past of Shui Shenqiu.
"That's what you read in the books?"
Qiao Yuan was shocked by Qu Yunwei's repeated words, it was the first time he had seen Qu Yunwei still have such a side, he coughed lightly, interrupted Qu Yunwei's speech, and said with a smile, otherwise he didn't know when Qu Yunwei was going to talk.
"That's right. Shui Shenqiu's senior's contribution to the Yuehe Sect is immeasurable, there are a lot of classics about her in the sect, and some elders will mention it in their sermons, how come you haven't heard of it at all?"
Qu Yunwei nodded and said very seriously, but in the end, she looked at Qiao Yuan with a puzzled face.
"Well, it's been less than a year since I joined the sect, and I've been cultivating all the time, so I really haven't heard of it, could it be that her inheritance is also here?"
Qiao Yuan smiled awkwardly and said slowly.
"The classics record that Shui Shenqiu's predecessor did not return after an outing, and no one knew her life and death, so there should be no inheritance of her here, unless Shui Shenqiu's predecessor left the inheritance here before leaving the Yuehe Sect. ”
Qu Yunwei's expression showed a thoughtful look, paused for a moment, her eyes seemed to be gloomy, and she said softly.
"The classics don't necessarily record everything, let's just go and see if there is. ”
Qiao Yuanwei saw that Qu Yunwei's mood seemed to be low, smiled slightly, and said comfortingly.
After saying that, Qu Yunwei nodded, and the two flew down again together.
When they stopped to observe these stone wall carvings, several people had already passed by them, but these people only glanced at Qu Yunwei and Qiao Yuan, and did not stop at all.
This downward passage is deep and dark, I don't know where it leads, originally they were still in an extremely hot environment, but as soon as they entered this passage, it was as if they had fallen into the Nine Shades Road, it was extremely cold, the further down they went, the heavier this cold qi became, Qiao Yuan trembled physically and mentally, but he had another thought.
"This place of inheritance and trial is in such a cold place, there can't be a yin and evil aura. ”
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan's heart began to beat faster, and the Yin Evil Qi was also a kind of Extremely Evil Qi, which was more rare than the Cold Evil Qi, and it was also more powerful after being integrated into the Evil Wind Finger.
After a while, the two of them saw a faint light appear in the depths below, this light was yellow, swaying from side to side, and it looked like the light of a candle.
"Looks like we're almost there. ”
Qiao Yuan's eyes showed a look of expectation, and he looked at the bright light below and said softly.
Qu Yunwei nodded, did not speak, but was a little faster.
The two of them had descended a distance of about a thousand feet, and finally stepped on the ground, which was covered with a thick layer of dust, but there were miscellaneous footprints on it, and it was obvious that there were quite a few people who had entered this place.
Qiao Yuan glanced at the endless passage above, and did not see a figure behind him, but he knew that there were more than a dozen people in it who were descending rapidly, and then he glanced at the carvings on the stone walls on all sides, and sighed softly.
His divine sense always paid attention to the carvings on the surrounding stone walls, and the carvings became less and less the further down they went, sometimes there was only one carving in more than ten zhang, so it was not so laborious to explore, but he still did not find the carving that resembled a mysterious monster in these carvings.
Qiao Yuan retracted his gaze and looked ahead, this was a straight dark passage, and there were oil lamps every five zhang on both sides to illuminate the four directions, and it was extremely silent, without a sound, and he didn't know where Ling Wanchen, the people who came here first, had gone.
The two did not hesitate any longer, and walked quickly side by side towards the front, but when leaving, the two of them were extremely cautious so as not to cause any accidents, after all, no one knew if there was any danger here.
The two of them walked about a hundred feet away, and suddenly a cross-channel appeared in front of them, and the two looked at each other, quickly walked to the crossing, and looked carefully in four directions.
At the same time, they also probed their divine consciousness into various passages, but to their surprise, there seemed to be a strange power here, which had an oppression on the divine sense, Qiao Yuan's divine sense could only reach out of ten zhang at most, and Qu Yunwei could only probe out of more than twenty zhang.
The two were silent for a while, as if they were thinking about which way to go, and suddenly, Qiao Yuan squatted down, looked at the messy footprints on the ground, and said slowly.
"Ling Wanchen and Bai Li Zhen should be going straight, and the five people walking in front of us should have split into two groups and went in two directions, left and right. ”
Qu Yunwei's eyes swept over those footprints, and she came up with a similar answer in her heart.
"So which way do we go now?"
"Go straight. ”
Qiao Yuan stood up, pondered for a moment, and said slowly, in fact, he didn't have an accurate answer, and he chose to go straight because he saw Ling Wanchen leave like this, so he naturally decided like this.
Qu Yunwei didn't ask for a reason, didn't say anything, nodded silently, and made it easy for Qiao Yuan to walk quickly forward.
But a similar scene also happened after Baizhang, there was another cross passage there, this time the footprints were very sparse, and it seemed that the only people who came here were Ling Wanchen and Bai Lizhen.
"There's something weird about this place. ”
Qiao Yuan glanced at the square and said softly.
"Could it be that this is a labyrinth?"
Qu Yunwei's eyes showed a thoughtful look and said slowly.
Qiao Yuan nodded, looked at the passage on the right, and without thinking, he took the lead directly and walked towards the passage on the right, Qu Yunwei did not hesitate, and the lotus step moved lightly, following Qiao Yuan.
This time, Qiao Yuan did not follow Ling Wanchen and Bai Lizhen to go straight, but chose a road that no one had walked, he wanted to see if he could meet again if he chose a different path, if he could meet it, then this place was really a labyrinth, in this case, things would be difficult to do.
