Chapter 120: Jade Carved Figure
The bat-shaped oil lamps over the school field lit up, the wick burned so that it made a "crackling" sound, and wisps of black smoke rose, and the smoke was thick and diffused everywhere.
Rows of people of all colors stood stiff, eyes closed and pale. Zi Ning cautiously walked up to an old man in gray and raised his hand to test his snort, which seemed to be cold, and he had not breathed for a long time.
She couldn't help but tighten her throat and swallowed hard, there were hundreds of people standing stiffly on this school field, could it be that they were all dead? But why were the dead people standing, were they zombies?
The white ball flapped its wings, spun around twice in mid-air, and chirped: "Xi'er, there are many people, they are all sleeping!" These people are all like statues, they don't move, and the dense figures are reflected on the bluestone ground, looking a little crazy.
Zi Ning didn't care about studying these strange four people, she wanted to find Yue Hengtang and them as soon as possible. So he retracted his gaze and walked along the wide bluestone road in the middle, and the soles of his shoes made a soft "pop" sound, which was very harsh in this unusually quiet school field.
The white ball flew in the air and followed her, and kept asking, "Xi'er, Xi'er, why don't they wake up?"
In order to relieve the tension in her heart, Zi Ning said with a smile: "They are dead people, and they won't wake up again when they fall asleep." β
Bai Qiu shook his head vigorously and cooed: "No, no, they are not dead, I looked at their pulses, and they are still a little alive." β
Zi Ning was greatly surprised, and looked around as she walked, and saw that the people standing on both sides had their eyes closed, but their expressions were vivid, not like dead people, as if they could open their eyes and come back to life at any time. She couldn't help but shudder, if these were living people, it would be even more terrifying, why did they all stand still, what could be more weird than this?
I couldn't help but speed up my pace, and the more I walked, the more my heart beat harder, as if something bad was about to happen.
Zi Ning felt her mouth dry, and ran wildly on the bluestone brick floor, and the white ball chased her in the air, and soon arrived in front of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
Taking two deep breaths, Zi Ning turned her head to look and saw that those strange people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead were left behind, and she couldn't help but relax.
Then she looked at the magnificent treasure hall in front of her, she squinted her eyes and saw that the bricks and tiles on the outer layer of the treasure hall were paved with gold glaze, and a large area of gold was shot out under the light reflected by the oil lamp, which made people unable to look directly, only feeling dazzling and dizzy.
After a few steps forward, the quaint green bricks on the ground gradually changed, all of them were replaced with glazed bricks with a layer of dark green glow, and the green light extended forward, connecting a white jade arch bridge carved with dragon auspicious clouds.
Zi Ning walked lightly on the arch bridge, and saw that the jade on the bridge pillars was white and clear, cold to the touch, and there was a feeling of condensing fat and moistening hands.
After getting off the arched bridge and walking forward, there were two huge golden gates in front of me, as high as three people stacked on top of each other.
The white ball flew over, squatted on Zining's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Xi'er, do you know what's inside the door?"
Zi Ning "shhh She raised her hand and pushed the door hard, making a "creaking" sound, and soon she pushed a gap in the golden door.
Zi Ning held her skirt in both hands and stepped forward from the high gold-encrusted threshold. She was about to look at it, when she suddenly tripped under her feet, and when she looked down, she saw a person holding her head and curling up on the ground.
The white ball flew in through the crack in the door with a "whoosh", and the little paw pointed at the person on the ground, and shouted anxiously: "It's Qi Song, Qi Song." β
Zi Ning was startled, and hurriedly squatted down and turned the man over. A handsome young man's face was revealed, and sure enough, it was Qi Song, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and there were some blood marks left by injuries on his body.
Zi Ning stretched out his hand to try his breathing, there was still breath in his mouth, he lifted his head up, and shouted repeatedly: "Qi Song, wake up." β
Qi Song's face was pale and colorless, and there was no reaction at all. Bai Qiu narrowed his eyes, leaned on his ear, and shouted in a thin voice, "Qi Songβ"
The voice was extremely harsh, the muscles on Qi Song's face twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes for a while, saw the person in front of him clearly, and called softly: "Zi Ning?" He sat up with his forehead, looked around, and saw that there was no one else, and asked, "Where are they?"
Zi Ning sighed, shook his head and said, "There are strange living dead people everywhere here, I was thrilled all the way, and I found you when I entered the main hall, but I didn't find them." β
Several people were involved in the teleportation array in the library building of the Fa Dove Palace, and now only Zi Ning and Qi Song came together, plus a white ball, but they didn't know where the others were.
Qi Song fainted only because he was fighting bats and consumed too much true qi. He meditated cross-legged, breathed for a while, exhaled the filthy qi in his body, and replenished the true qi, then slowly retracted his strength, got up and said: "The teleportation array has only one fixed direction, it will not separate people, they may be nearby, let's go and find it together." β
Zi Ning nodded, and the two of them walked towards the treasure hall, passing through a narrow corridor, and bypassing the emerald stone screen inlaid with treasures, and then they really entered the main hall. When they saw the ornate furnishings in the hall, their eyes glared in surprise.
It looks very much like the imperial palace, with a spacious and magnificent layout, solemn and solemn style, extending from the gate to the throne. The roof of the hall is inlaid with shining night pearls, and the soft light shines down, filling the hall with jewels.
Wisps of bright white aura lingered in the hall, and Zi Ning looked down to see that under her feet was the ground paved with transparent stones, oozing a rich aura.
Qi Song exclaimed: "I don't know who built this hall, and it actually used high-grade spirit jade to pave the ground. When Zi Ning heard him say this, she was also surprised, and hurriedly looked down at the spirit jade on the ground.
The spiritual energy contained in the spirit jade far exceeds the spirit stones and spirit crystals, so this kind of thing is very valuable, and the entire Dao clan may not have a few pieces. The jade pendant hanging on the Linglong feather fan is a piece of high-grade spirit jade, which is the item that Yue Hengtang once carried with him, and it is the exclusive property of the Kunlun Emperor.
Zi Ning could never have imagined that the spirit jade, which was regarded as a treasure in the Immortal Dao Realm, was only used to pave the ground in this Lingxiao Treasure Hall. She couldn't help but take a few steps forward, her feet on the ground of the spiritual jade, and she only felt that the aura surrounded her body, as if she was in a dream.
At this time, the white ball flew to the top of the hall with a "whoosh", staring at those pebble-sized night pearls in amazement, and exclaimed: "Where is this?
Zi Ning looked up, in addition to the night pearls covering the roof of the hall, the beams and pillars were also inlaid with various shining gems. Her heart was pounding, she was already dumbfounded, and the fairyland treasure hall she had imagined in her mind was nothing more than that.
Kunlun Palace is the most prominent and majestic palace in the immortal realm, with a long history, many formations, magnificent and simple with a kingly domineering. But compared to Kunlun Palace, this Lingxiao Palace has another luxurious and noble atmosphere, and it is a little more mysterious and immortal than the Hair Dove Palace and Xiqi Palace she has seen.
Qi Song was also stunned, the treasure hall was built so wide and magnificent, and it was full of all kinds of exquisite decorations, but it did not look empty at all.
He walked towards the painting wall on one side, only to see that the agarwood shelf was placed with musical instruments of the qin and sheng, and there were jade chessboards, calligraphy and painting albums, antique weapons, exquisite utensils, etc., like a huge palace of treasures and utensils.
Zi Ning suddenly shouted: "Qi Song, look, there are people on that high platform." β
A trace of white mist fluttered, and indeed a person sat on the golden throne of the high platform. Qi Song raised his eyebrows, hurriedly blocked in front of Zi Ning, and said, "Don't act rashly first, let's see." β
The two of them stopped and looked at the person on the throne from a distance, and saw that he was wearing a mask with gold and gems, wearing a robe of a golden embroidered dragon, and his arms were on the armrests of the throne.
Zi Ning asked strangely: "Isn't the person with the highest status in the Immortal Dao Realm the Kunlun Absolute Emperor?
Qi Song looked at it for a long time, his face changed greatly, and he muttered: "No, this is not an immortal clan, it is...... Celestials!" His footsteps couldn't help but step forward, as if attracted by the people on the throne, and slowly walked towards the high platform.
Zi Ning shouted in surprise: "Qi Song, don't go over, there may be danger over there." Her voice echoed in the treasure hall, but Qi Song seemed to be deaf to it, and her footsteps kept moving forward.
Zi Ning had no choice but to follow him, and suddenly saw that there were four young beauties standing behind the throne, dressed in embroidered clothes of various colors of silk and satin, hairpins and hairpins, and beads, like fairies in a dream.
The white spiritual mist was everywhere, Zi Ning was too far away from the throne to see the appearance of the four beauties clearly, but when he saw the otherworldly posture and temperament, he could know that they were all peerless beauties.
At this time, Qi Song suddenly stopped and shouted, "This ...... What's going on?"
Zi Ning's curiosity was aroused, and he hurriedly ran forward, the white mist drifted away, and he saw Qi Song standing under the high platform, staring at a man in Tsing Yi in a daze, with a panicked and puzzled look on his face.
Zi Ning's eyes swept over and found that the man in green clothes was arching his hand, and standing opposite him was a man in a red robe, making the same gesture as him.
The two of them, one in green clothes and the other in red robes, both arched their hands towards the high platform, like ministers saluting the emperor.
Qi Song stood still in a daze, and the two people who gave up their hands did not move. The more Zi Ning looked at it, the more wrong it became, and rushed over with an arrow step, only to see that the man in Tsing Yi vaguely looked like Dongling, so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat and screamed: "Brother Xiaomu!"
She grabbed Donglin's arm, but it was a hard and cold feeling, Qi Song's face turned pale, and he turned his head and said: "He is not the son of Donglin, he is carved from white jade." The white ball stared at the beads and hovered above, and chirped for a while: "Xi'er, this is fake, it's fake." β
Zi Ning looked through the mist, and the face of the Donglin in front of him was white, and a layer of bright soft light lingered, and it was indeed carved from jade. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it, the cold chill hit the palm of her hand, it was really a dummy.
She exhaled deeply, feeling incredible. This jade carving dummy is made vividly, the face is carved by white jade, and the eyes are inlaid with jet-black beads, and even the indifferent eyes of Tanglin are very similar.
The green robe worn by the jade carved dummy is extremely exquisite, and it is a fine fragrant brocade cloth, exuding a faint fragrance. His hair is black and drooping, and his silver hair is tied at the top, and at first glance he looks like the image of a fairy son, and he can't see that he is a dummy at all.
"Tanglin" looked at her faintly, which made Zi Ning tremble, and felt more and more weird, although this dummy was made of jade, it seemed to be spiritual, and he felt that he could come back to life at any time.
She tried her best to avoid the eyes of the jade carving dummy, and turned her head to look at another "minister" who was arching her hands, as expected, it was also a dummy, carved in the image of a vegetarian, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a smile on her lips, which was full of Xiqi Yuzun's romantic expression.
Zi Ning's heart was full of doubts, why are there jade statues of Tanglin and Jiansu in this Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and where are their real people?
Qi Song calmed down and said, "These white jades are like skin color, they are absolutely extraordinary, and I have never seen such jade in Kunlun. Then he raised his hand and touched the clothes worn by the jade carving people, and continued: "Hanxiang brocade is a special cloth produced in Xiqi Kingdom, and it is not available in other Xiandao clans. β
"Xiqi Kingdom?" Zi Ning frowned and asked puzzledly: "Could it be that he is a vegetarian, I heard him say that Hanxiang brocade is in the Yuzun Mansion, and even the Xiqi Palace is not commonly used." β
The two were suspicious of the dummy, when they suddenly heard Bai Qiu shouting, "Xi'er, Xi'er, I see the moon." β
Moon Hades?
Zi Ning hurriedly raised her head and looked towards the high platform, only to see that in the hazy mist, two swordsmen with swords appeared, standing on both sides of the throne, one on the left and one on the right. One was wearing a silver armor and white robe, and the other was wearing a black armor robe, she looked over in a trance, and the movements of the two were exactly the same, as if they were twin brothers.
The moon is dark, the moon is crossed!
The cold sweat on her back flowed down, she trembled all over, and before Qi Song could stop her, she had already climbed up to the high platform desperately. When she saw it more clearly, she was stunned and speechless, these two people were also carved from white jade, their bodies were equal in height and short, and their appearance was exactly the same.
What the hell is going on? Zi Ning's mind was filled with the illusions of the Moon Shadow and the Moon Hengtang, and two figures, one black and one white, appeared at the same time.
The black-clothed Moon Ming looked pained and shouted, "Xi'er, don't forget me. Yue Hengtang, who was dressed in white, said affectionately: "Zining, we will always be together." The two figures overlapped, and in an instant they quickly separated.
Zi Ning shook her head for a moment, she could finally see the difference between the two, Yue Ming's deep eyes were full of stoicism and sharpness, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was full of ambition. And Yue Hengtang's smile is full of confidence and gentleness, like a spring breeze, which makes people feel very down-to-earth.
"Brother Tangβ" Zi Ning snorted softly, rushed up two steps, and pounced on Yue Hengtang. At this moment, she can't tell whether it is illusion or reality, but she knows very well in her heart that she has no affection for Yue Ming, and the person she loves deeply is Yue Hengtang.
The cold and hard jade statue did not move, Zi Ning's fingers caressed his white gold-inlaid sleeves, unable to describe his mixed heart, and all kinds of sour and painful tastes gushed out.
