Chapter 204: The Underwater Palace
Emerald Lake is located at the junction of Nanzhan Buzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou, and is famous for its abundance of pearls. Just last month www.biquge.info a group of underwater pearl seekers discovered a black hole in the depths of the Emerald Lake, which was an underwater cemetery, and these people did not go deep into it because of the fear of the Dragon King.
But the news spread through the gossip of the bead touchers, and was finally heard by the monks. As groups of monks explored it with advanced equipment, there were no survivors.
Even many disciples of the Genting Heavenly Palace fell into it, including the foundation building period laymen, this news shocked the upper echelons of the Heavenly Palace, and they hurriedly mobilized the roving star officials outside to investigate this place thoroughly.
Yang Qing's Xinyue Fox airship shuttled through the air for more than ten days and finally arrived at its destination, a densely populated town adjacent to the Emerald Lake.
Because this place is close to Nanzhan Buzhou, the monks wearing the robes of the four beasts were seen in the crowd of these towns, and the four of Xinyue Fox came to find an inn in the town.
"Guest officer, please take a seat, hit the tip or stay in the hotel", Xiao Er, who looked like a philistine, hurriedly greeted him.
"Get us four upper rooms, and then prepare some hot food," Red Eye pulled out a gold ingot from his bosom and handed it over.
"Okay, please follow me upstairs", the smile on Xiao Er's face was even worse, he hadn't met such a generous traveler for a long time.
Yang Qing followed the team in a muffled voice, and in the long corridor on the second floor of the inn, you could see monks coming in and out everywhere, most of them from the Sixiang Shrine.
Of course, the monks on both sides touched each other, and although they did not communicate or speak, their eyes were a little provocative and unfriendly.
Although the Four Elephants Shrine and the Genting Heavenly Palace are born from the same root, because of the difference in concepts, the two sides are in the same situation, and the high-level is fortunately able to start from the overall situation, and the more low-level disciples are, the more acute the contradictions between the two sides, and big fights often occur.
The entire Heart Moon Fox team is all concentrated in the red-eyed room, and this is the time to discuss the next steps forward.
"Wuxin and Huaqing, you go to the pearl toucher tomorrow and bring one over, I have something to ask", the red eyes gave an order to Yang Qing, and then said with a solemn expression, "Before you figure out the matter, don't have a conflict with the people on the side of Sixiang." ”
"Hmm", Yang Qing nodded, and he also understood the reason why Senior Brother Red-Eyed gave such an order. The whole Xinyue Fox seems to be normal to himself and this refiner, the captain is cold all over, there is a scar on his face, and the dog-headed military master's left eye is even more blood-red.
Out of the inn, Yang Qing inquired all the way, and then found the courtyard where he found the pearl toucher in the water cemetery, but there was a miserable wail from inside, "The Dragon Lord is already angry, so many people have died in front, and the small one really doesn't dare to go into the water." ”
"Either go into the water with us, and you can get gold and silver for a lifetime. Either I'll send you to the West Heaven now", the other voice was very indifferent, that was indifferent to life.
Yang Qing walked into it curiously, and inside was an old man with gray hair and an old body, his spirit was still quite strong, but he was now kneeling on the ground and begging the man in front of him, with a sad expression.
"Four Elephant Divine Palace", Yang Qing's face changed, and what appeared in the courtyard was a monk from Nanzhan Buzhou, with a medium stature, a monkey face and pointed cheeks, and an extremely ugly appearance.
The other party also looked vigilant, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the two strangers who suddenly broke in.
"Your Excellency, this land is under the jurisdiction of our Genting Heavenly Palace, isn't it too good for you to be so unscrupulous here", the anger in Yang Qing's heart came up, he was angry when he saw the monk of Nanzhan Buzhou, not to mention that this person has done such a thing that people and gods are angry about.
The other party completely ignored Yang Qing's cynicism, and just focused his attention on the refiner Dao Wuxin, for him, only this True Yuan fluctuating foundation building period layman was the enemy of life and death.
Probably not wanting to provoke the head snake, the Cold Warrior left the courtyard angrily with a wave of his hand, of course, the viciousness that flashed in his eyes was obvious.
"Old man, please get up", Yang Qing hurriedly stepped forward to support the half-hundred-year-old man, and of course informed the other party of the purpose of his visit this time.
"The Dragon Lord is angry, he can't go into the water", regardless of what Yang Qinghao said, the bead toucher kept shaking his head, and his expression was in an extreme fear and worry.
"I can't imagine that this old man's feudal superstition is too serious", Yang Qing secretly slandered himself.
"Old man, you just need to go back to the inn with us, and tell our captain what happened to us, and I won't let you go into the water", Dao Wuxin comforted softly, took out a gold ingot from his bosom and handed it over.
"Okay then", the bead toucher finally couldn't make excuses, so he had to agree, of course, he was still muttering 'can't go into the water'.
"You tell me everything you saw at the beginning", leading the bead toucher to the red-eyed brother's room, and the military advisor immediately opened his mouth to ask the person in the know.
And the bead toucher also poked out the fifteen and ten places he saw when he went into the water, of course, more detailed than the gossip that circulated.
"You said you saw the dragon?" Red Eyes smiled in surprise, and he began to have deep doubts about the words of the bead toucher, the true dragon was already extinct in the first member.
"Yes, yes," the bead toucher swallowed, sweat pouring from his forehead, "in the hole of the cemetery, I saw it with my own eyes, but they were already asleep. ”
"It's still a group", the red-eyed smiled, the more this bead toucher said, the more he didn't have a score, the rarity of the true dragon was probably not as rare as the Venerable of the Divine Period, let alone a group.
"Let's go," the red-eyed wave waved at the insider, who hurried away relieved.
"Captain, what do you think", the red eyes retracted the smile on her face, and only then did she put her eyes on the face of the friar, who had been silent. Although he usually acts as the team's military advisor, it is the captain who makes the final decision.
"Let's go in," Xiuyan said, looking up at all her teammates.
"Yes", Yang Qing, Red Eyes, and the refiner clenched their fists and bowed.
......
The next day, the four of them drove the airship to moor above the Emerald Lake, the entire Emerald Lake is vast and boundless, the scenery on both sides of the river is just a little black line on the edge of the sky, the clear lake surface is sparkling, and the breeze can even smell the refreshing breath.
"Senior brother, do you have a water avoidance charm", asked the little junior brother sitting in the center of the airship with red eyes.
"It doesn't seem to be", Yang Qing turned the treasure bag upside down, and there were a lot of wild goose charms and wing charms, but there was no water avoidance charm.
"Here you go", Hongyan took out a stack of yellowed talismans from his arms and handed it to the junior brother.
"Thank you, senior brother", Yang Qing took it from the other party's hand, and carefully counted the talismans in his hand, there were about twenty talismans, and the existence time of the water-sheltering space that could be formed after a talisman was injected into the true yuan was two hourglasses, that is, nearly two quarters of an hour.
"This operation may not be as simple as imagined, so you must be cautious and not rash this time," Xiuyan warned, staring at the three of his subordinates.
"Senior sister, do you want to give this operation a code name, otherwise it will be difficult to call it in the future", Yang Qingshen made a thoughtful suggestion, he was deeply influenced by the American blockbusters in his previous life, and those special forces had a domineering and mysterious code name before each action.
"Then what do you think is a good codename", Xiuyan asked the novice while rubbing his round and jade chin with his right hand. After thinking about it, she felt that this proposal was still quite gimmicky.
"It's called 'ghost blowing the lamp'", Yang Qing smiled without thinking,
"What a strange name", the other three people of Xinyue Fox didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
"Because we're going to rob the tomb this time, the ghost blowing the lamp is the most suitable!"
"That's okay, our mission this time is called ghost blowing the lamp", Xiuyan didn't particularly care about this title, and agreed with a clapped palm, "Let's start acting!"
After speaking, she took out a water-repellent talisman from her arms and injected it into the True Yuan Activation, and a halo of liquid film wrapped around her body.
There was a sound of water, and the captain was seen burrowing into the waves, and the other three people also activated the water avoidance charm at the same time.
'Puff', 'Puff', 'Puff', three water sounds one after another.
Yang Qing also saw the underwater world so clearly for the first time, the darkness was like a forest in the dark, and only the bright water surface above his head brought a glimmer of light here.
Schools of fish swing their tails in front of their eyes, fish of all colors bring countless moving light bulbs to the place, and the mouth of the lake in the depths of the lake looks like a black hole with its mouth wide open, which is the urge of anyone to flee from this place at a glance.
However, this did not intimidate the monks, and the captain led the way with the hoop, and the other three followed him towards the bottom of the lake.
At this time, on the surface of the Emerald Lake, another airship landed from the sky. There were only three people on this airship, two men and one woman, both wearing the purple bottomed robes of the Four Divine Beasts.
If Yang Qing was here, he would definitely be very familiar with one of them, it was the ugly monk he saw in the courtyard of the bead toucher yesterday.
"Captain, they are the Heart Moon Fox Nakshatra with the highest combat power in the Genting Heavenly Palace, we are not necessarily opponents", sitting in the center of the airship was a bewitching beauty, she worried at the man standing on the front deck of the airship.
"Hebihe, we're not fighting with them, we just need to act when the opportunity arises", the refiner sitting at the tail of the airship disagreed, and since he followed the two monks into the inn yesterday, he inquired about each other's details.
The main reason is that the heart moon fox is famous for its cruising stars, especially among the monks of the Four Elephant Shrine. Genting Heavenly Palace has two camps against the monks of Nanzhan Buzhou, on one side is the **** who live in peace, and on the other side is the hawk who is desperate.
And the Heart Moon Fox is the hawk of the hawks, and the monks who generally see the Four Elephants Divine Palace in private are ruthlessly destroyed.
Therefore, these Traveling Star Officers who were patrolling outside would all receive notices and warnings from the sect, especially the other party's Heart Moon Fox Star Officer.
The captain was a flamboyant female monk with a wound on her face, of course, this wound was left after the battle with the disciples of the Four Elephants Shrine, and her male companion had died in the battle between the Shrine and the Heavenly Palace.
This woman is full of earth and fire spells, and her comprehension of spells is even more perfect, and there are countless disciples of the Divine Palace who have died in her hands, including the star official.
The alchemist is a man with a blood-red left eye, a lot of strength, good at alchemy, and has the ability to argue with ghosts and gods, and is a military advisor of the heart moon fox.
The appearance of the refiner is ordinary, and his strength is also mediocre and unremarkable.
Of course, they didn't know Yang Qing's identity, and he said that he was the pearl toucher invited by Xinyue Fox this time, after all, judging from the fluctuation of the true yuan, his strength was as weak as an ant-like mortal.
"Die the bold, starve the cowardly, if the road of cultivation is so forward-looking, when will you be able to attain the avenue", standing on the deck at the front end of the airship is a middle-aged man with a resolute face, and the momentum exuded by his body is also abusive and riotous, this kind of person knows from the first glance that he is a hob meat that cannot be provoked.
"But ......", the beauty opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, but agreed in a daze, and the last words turned into a deep sigh that diffused in the air.
"This time we're just taking advantage of the fire, let's not fight them", the captain of the Four Elephant Shrine Parade Stars issued a final order to his two men.
"Yes", a man and a woman were affected, and then three 'poofs' were heard falling into the water.
......
"Finding the target", Xiuyan's face was happy, and she led the team to finally see the hole that the pearl toucher said in the depths of the lake, the circular hole more than half a person wide emitted a soft blue light.
The view inside is a milky white halo that resembles flowing milk, in stark contrast to the clear waters outside.
"Let's go in", Xiuyan turned to look at her three men, and then controlled the hoop to burrow headlong into the hole.
"This is ......", Yang Qingwei followed the captain into the cave, and through the white liquid barrier at the entrance of the cave, a palace under the water suddenly appeared.
The splendid layers of pavilions, carved dragons and phoenix-like buildings are lined up one after another, and the continuous water pavilion and song platform extend the area of this palace to thousands of acres, which is a good underwater palace.
"Could it be that this is the crystal palace where the real dragon lives as the pearl toucher said", Yang Qing asked the others with his mouth open, and the others of the Xinyue Fox were also deeply shocked by the scenery here.
"Senior brother, the True Dragon's Crystal Palace is only in the four oceans, how can there be one in the inland?" the red eye overturned the intern's doubts, and instead solemnly warned, "To have the strength to open up such a large palace under this water, I am afraid that the master here was a big man who was not allowed to do so in his lifetime." ”
"Captain, we can't seem to get out, this is a closed big array", Dao Wuxin at the end of the line found a very embarrassing fact, the hole that he had just penetrated was now gone.
And everyone was in the depths of the lake, and above their eyes was pitch black, and they didn't need to look at it to know that they must have been wrapped in a magic circle.
Because it's daytime, even if it's dark at the bottom of the lake, there's still light on the surface of the lake overhead.
Except for the Senluo Hall, which emits a faint blue light, the rest of the place is darkness except for darkness.
"It seems that the tomb owner wants us to have no return", Xiuyan looked at the surrounding environment quietly, her expression was not moving, she had already thrown her life away in the face of countless life and death situations. (To be continued.) )
