Chapter 559: The Bronze Palace Spreading On The Bottom Of The Sea
With her mortal body, even if she has some level of cultivation as a martial artist, she will definitely die if she falls.
Su Bei frowned slightly, unwilling to explore the weirdness of this place and the secret of the basilisk.
This mother-in-law named Deng Yun cannot die yet!
His figure immediately emerged in mid-air, turning into a stream of light and rushing towards the cracked abyss.
Countless creeping basilisks immediately roared and launched various bizarre attacks at him as he walked through.
"Hmph, the evil wind of Samadhi!"
Su Bei shouted coldly and glared around.
An icy-cold hurricane surged around him in an instant, quickly swelling into a continuous wave.
Countless basilisk attacks hit the hurricane and were torn into pieces in the blink of an eye, making it impossible to break through.
The hurricane kept coming, slamming into all directions.
One by one, the basilisks were blown away and fell in the distance.
Su Bei shuttled into the abyss, stretched out his hand, grabbed the falling Deng Yun, and jumped up onto the ice.
Deng Yun, who was still in shock, held on to his crooked glasses, looked at the young man holding him aside, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You... it's you! How come you..."
Before she could finish speaking, the young man in front of her stretched out his palm to interrupt her.
"Mother-in-law, do you know Zheng Peiyuan?"
Su Bei asked bluntly.
Seeing that he had no ill intentions, Deng Yun hesitated for a moment, then straightened his clothes and said, "Yes, Zheng Peiyuan...he used to be my teacher."
So it turns out that this is the case, Su Bei is a little enlightened.
He remembered that in Zheng Peiyuan's experience, there was indeed a period of time when he was a professor at Yenching University in Kyoto.
So to say……
"Mother-in-law, are you from Yenching University?"
Su Bei asked.
Deng Yun nodded and said sadly: "I am a professor of the Department of Archeology at Yenching University... After he left that year, I graduated and stayed at Yenching University."
From the look on her face, she seemed to have a deep memory for Zheng Peiyuan, even beyond the relationship between teacher and student.
"Mother-in-law, I just tried your level of martial arts. It seems that you are only in the mid-level C level. How could you... go to the depths of the Antarctic Circle?"
Su Bei looked at the basilisks around him and asked, "Besides, there are so many monsters here, which is very dangerous."
Deng Yun subconsciously tightened the keys in his hand and said with a forced smile: "These monsters don't dare to hurt me. I relied on them to get here."
Su Bei looked at the sea and the palace below and said, "Mother-in-law, to be honest, I come from Shuhe County, Su Province, Zheng Peiyuan's hometown.
"Strictly speaking, I can be considered Mr. Zheng's student, just like you. I came here to find an item he left behind back then."
There was a trace of doubt in Deng Yun's eyes.
Su Bei smiled slightly, took out the ancient bronze key from the Floating Cloud Ring, and showed it: "Mother-in-law, please see, this is the key left by Zheng Peiyuan through Pei Shisan."
Deng Yun suddenly realized that he spread out the keys in his palm and put them in front of Su Bei's hand for comparison.
The two keys are almost identical, except for the positive and negative patterns on them, each with its own meaning.
"It seems...it is indeed his legacy...Pei Shisan...is he okay after so many years?"
Deng Yun asked with a look of reminiscence on his face.
Su Bei shook his head and said, "He is dead."
Deng Yun was startled and fell into silence. After a long time, he said sadly: "Time is really a butcher's knife."
Su Bei looked at her and asked: "Mother-in-law, why did you abandon your two companions and cross the ice and snow to reach the Antarctic Circle?"
Deng Yun hesitated for a moment, looked at the young man in front of him, then let down his guard and said, "I met Zheng Peiyuan once after he left Yenching University.
"However, that was nineteen years ago. He returned from Antarctic glacier archaeology and gave me a phone call. As soon as I received the call, I rushed to Jiangsu Province.
"Unfortunately, he didn't say anything to me and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he only left me this bronze key and told me——
"Nineteen years later, hold this key and go deep into the Antarctic glacier to wait for someone."
She narrated the story of that year in a eloquent manner, her tone and demeanor full of affection and expectation.
Su Bei did not interrupt her and listened carefully.
Deng Yun said at the end, and sighed softly: "However, I am very happy to see him this side. So, nineteen years later, I am here - waiting for him."
Su Bei was slightly startled and asked, "But don't you know that he has passed away?"
Deng Yun's eye circles looked a little red under the golden spectacle frames, and he laughed bitterly: "I heard, I heard that he died of myocardial infarction.
"However, I went to Jiangsu Province to look for him many times. No matter whether before or after his death, I could not see him again. I don't believe he is dead."
Her tone revealed her determination.
This may be hope, or it may be luck.
Su Bei remembered that after checking the Tiandao server, Zheng Peiyuan's name was indeed missing. This could not be a lie, so Zheng Peiyuan must really be dead.
He opened his mouth and closed it again, but no words came out.
This kind fantasy, this profound affection, must remain in Deng Yun's heart.
Su Bei asked: "So, you came here just because of Zheng Peiyuan's words, and you did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to come here... to wait for someone?"
Deng Yun nodded heavily: "Yes, wait for him."
As she said this, she stretched out her hand to hold her glasses, wiped them off, and said with a smile, "Look at my age, I can teach you how to read jokes."
Su Bei shook his head and said nothing.
His "snowflake" talent was always on, and his six senses were strong and sharp. He took all of Deng Yun's reactions into his perception, so he knew that the other party was not lying.
"Mother-in-law, if Mr. Zheng really asked you to wait for him, then where might he be?"
He looked at the mysterious palace below, then looked at Deng Yun's eyes, and asked, "You... want to go down?"
Deng Yun nodded solemnly and said, "I believe he is there, and I must go."
She has been waiting for this day for nineteen years, and she doesn't have many nineteen years left.
Su Bei sighed softly and said, "That's all, in that case, I'll take you for a walk!"
He glanced at the scattered basilisk approaching again and grabbed Deng Yun's arm.
"Stand still, let's go!"
Su Bei shouted, pulled her and jumped down.
With the cold wind blowing against his face, he stepped on the void and used his "Flying" talent to land in the ice abyss.
The bronze palace is getting closer and closer, showing a clear appearance, and the vast area of the area also reveals the tip of the iceberg, extending endlessly into the sea water on all sides.
"I'm afraid this is not a product of this era..."
Su Bei was startled and secretly guessed.
Then, the two people landed on the sea level. Su Bei raised his foot and stepped on it, and the sea water was slowly separated.
They continued downward and landed on the thousand-foot-tall pillars of the Bronze Palace. They saw a huge bronze door standing in the abyss of the sea, as if staring at the world.
"Here we are... right here."
