Section 108, The Mercury Sea and the Island in the Sea
"By the way! Where is the gourd?" I remembered the seven treasure gourd I pulled out of the fire spirit and asked quickly.
"Here!" Xiaoqi quickly put the Qibao gourd into the palm of my hand.
I grabbed the Qibao gourd and shouted to Xiaoqi: "There is another one, Ye Yi, where is the one we brought?"
Xiaoqi didn't understand why I shouted like this, but quickly took out another gourd from the backpack I prepared and placed in the Immortal Cutlery and handed it into my hands.
I held two gourds, one hand was a little warm, while the other was a little cold.
Looking in the direction of Ye Yi vaguely, I held two gourds and said to him: "Ye Yi, look at the difference between these two gourds. Why did it bring Professor Yuntian's soul to the last strange sect?"
I can't hear Ye Yi's voice because my eyes are blurry. My 20s age allows me to experience the physiological helplessness of the elderly in advance.
I only vaguely saw Xiaoqi and Ye Yi whispering to each other, as if discussing something.
After about ten minutes, the voices of the two people gradually became louder. To be precise, Xiaoqi's voice became louder.
He shouted, "Then I should go even more! Brother Ye, whoever is afraid of death is his grandson!!"
I asked loudly, "What are you talking about?"
Then I felt my hand being patted, and the voices of the two of them became less and less.
However, this time lasted very short, only two or three minutes. Xiao Qi said in my ear: "Brother Yang, Brother Ye said that this gourd is two of the set, which is the core accessories in the seven treasure star formation lost by Taoism. What he meant is that after entering, you may need to reactivate the seven treasure star formation. Perhaps that is the place where the immortal fruit is hidden. Without these two gourds, I am afraid that the place where the formation is hidden cannot be opened.
However, another question arises. Are all seven gourds left outside or only these two gourds? As for being able to bring Professor Yuntian's soul in, the tenth ** is the function of the seven treasure gourds itself. It cannot be verified. Now Brother Ye means whether you want to go in? If we need seven gourds, but we only have two, we may not be able to get the immortal fruit."
I nodded, and then smiled and said, "There is always better than never before? Since God has let us in, this is destined. I have also heard of the Seven Treasures Star Formation. The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are accompanied by the Yin and Yang energy. I think the two gourds outside should be these two gourds with the Yin and Yang energy. There are five elements of gourds inside to stabilize the formation, so that the formation will not collapse after a thousand years of loss of energy and collapse. What do you think?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that someone patted my palm again and heard Xiaoqi say in my ear: "Brother Yang, you are right! Brother Ye is a test for you. I am afraid that you will get older and become confused again. Then I can only give up the opportunity to enter. Brother Ye said, go in. He is here to wait for you to come out healthily."
I shouted: "Don't worry, I'm not old yet! Hahahahaha~ It feels so fucking funny. I'm only in my twenties, and I'm afraid I'll be confused. Xiaoqi, go and smash the last wall for Brother Yang. Whether to live or die is all based on this! Ye Yi, Xiaoqi, if I really haven't got the fruit of immortality, you are not allowed to prolong my life, I won't want it! I don't want it either! I don't want it! I'll fucking live upright or die neatly!" I paused... I smiled bitterly: "I'm a coward, if it really reaches that point, Ye Yi, my mother and my daughter will be handed over to you. As for Wen Yi... Xiaoqi, why are you still standing there? Go to smash the wall!"
Half an hour later, I used three shovel handles of threaded interfaces to form a crutch about 1.2 meters long, slowly adapting to the current body with weak muscles. I walked into the hole that Xiaoqi had penetrated on the other wall with a unique duck step.
I can't see clearly...
Only Xiaoqi's screaming sound was heard, and I asked Xiaoqi: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Qi said: "Brother Yang, it's a sea of mercury! It's so big, with a layer of colorful light on it, and the stars on the top of your head are shining. How many treasures do you need to decorate it?"
I knocked on the crutch and said, "Can you find where the Qibao Tianxing Array is?"
Xiaoqi shouted to me: "Brother Yang, just stay here for a while, I'll go explore the road. When you walk here, there will be basically no danger. The poisonous sea of mercury is the biggest crisis."
I nodded. I am so terrible now. The old man's body cannot see clearly or hear. I suspect that even a strong wind blows me now, I can blow me down. So, I am not showing off at this time, but I just hope that Brother Fat and Cold Face can come back soon. The three of us... are too weak.
Xiaoqi only has the power of one battle, and Ye Yi and I have completely lost our combat ability. At such a moment, I am so looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, and I have never been so expectant.
I stood quietly in front of the highly toxic mercury, and there was a hazy piece in front of me.
My eyes are very uncomfortable. The stimulation of gas toxins produced by mercury on my eyes makes me cry. My eyes are already dizzy, but now I keep crying and snot.
Suffered!!
I felt very distressed when I was waiting for Xiaoqi, but Xiaoqi seemed to have run far away. I let me shout his name loudly, but it didn't respond to me at all. Could it be that this kid really ran away?
The long waiting time made me feel like I was waiting at the door of hell, with strong facial features stimulating, and even making me want to retreat.
Just as I was hesitating whether to inflict in it myself, Xiaoqi's voice finally came to my ears. But why is this kid's voice so weird? It's like a shrill scream when he was chased by a mad dog.
"Brother Yang, run away! There are so many zombies!" As soon as the voice entered my ears, I felt that my arm was pulled and almost pulled me down. Then Xiao Qi picked me up with his waist. The boy shouted loudly: "Brother Yang, let's go out first. Hurry me up."
What does this kid play with? So many zombies?
Anyway, this place is not far from the entrance, and it has been drilled back into the node of the Fire Gate after a few steps.
"What the hell is going on?" My big man was held by a teenager and asked loudly.
Xiaoqi hugged me, stopped and said panting: "It's a sea of mercury, and there are so many living zombies crawling out, endless."
I asked, "Is it safe now?"
Xiaoqi looked back and showed a strange expression on his face: "Yes, it should be safe, right?"
"What's wrong?" I asked in confusion. I couldn't see too far.
Xiao Qi said strangely: "They don't seem to come out?"
I thought about it and felt that there should be something wrong with it. But now my condition is really not very good. So, I asked first: "What did you find in it?"
Xiaoqi put me down and helped me to the place where the walls were broken. He said to me: "There are many zombies outside the door. Strange, they seem to be very quiet? They were chasing me and biting me just now. Brother Yang, it's very strange here. I feel that the tomb exposed on the ground is only a part, but we don't feel much downward due to the formation here. But I want to say that we should be in a very deep underground, at least tens of meters. The space here is obviously much larger than above. Not to mention anything else, the sea of mercury is four or five square kilometers in size."
"So big?" I took a deep breath involuntarily, good guy. With such a large area, how did so much mercury be extracted in ancient times?
Xiaoqi continued, "By the way! I saw something in the sea of mercury, and I don't know if it was an hallucination."
“What’s there?”
"There seems to be a small island in the center of the Mercury Sea." Xiao Qi tried to draw with his hand in front of me: "In this way, I can only see one side. It feels like a triangular artificial island. The distance is too far, and the colorful mist blocks the view too hazy. Brother Yang, guess is the thing we are looking for on it?"
I despised him and said, "Even if it is above, we have no choice. The first thing is the living zombies outside. As you say, these guys crawled out of mercury, and they are probably full of poison. How to kill them? Second, the density of mercury is very high, but it is also very corrosive. People must not swim over, so they can only die faster. So they must find a means of transportation that can float on mercury. I don't believe that the people who built this place did not consider this, and there must be some place for us to cross over. The last point..."
I sighed and said, "The last point is that long-term exposure to mercury steam will cause poisoning. We do not have necessary protective measures. There must be Qin Shihuang's coffin in the middle, but I remember Bai Yunzi said that he had hidden it. Qin Huang seemed to have just died at the beginning, right? Think about it, is the best place the only place in that small island?"
Xiao Qi nodded and thought for a while and said, "According to the trend and layout of the formation, the only place where the most likely place to gather spiritual energy is there. With extreme climate and extreme attributes, the ultimate attributes reject all external forces, and only preserve the purest spiritual energy so that it does not spread or lose it! Only under such harsh conditions can the legendary things be nurtured. At least now I know that there is such extreme attributes as the core of the formation. In addition to this, there is a place on Kunlun Mountain in the West where thunder falls all year round, and the magma underground in Mount Emei."
I took a deep breath: "You must go in, Xiaoqi, go and try the gun. I have a feeling that these zombies are different from what we encountered before."
"Why?" Xiaoqi asked curiously.
I shook my head and said, "It's just a feeling. You have to let me explain it clearly. What I think is that there should be no heavy yin energy in the place where the Mercury Sea is, right?"
"No." Xiao Qi replied to me.
"Yes, you said that all attributes have been forcibly transformed into spiritual energy, and other powers are insoluble there at all. Without the deep yin energy to nourish the corpses, can these living corpses still have copper and iron bones, and are invulnerable to swords and guns? Go and try it!"
