Chapter 69: Danger in Nine Dragons Pond, Fishing for Luoshu
"Are we just going to throw him there? Is there any danger in the middle?"
Fu Xuanxing followed Fu Liuhui from the right path. But Fu Henghua was left alone in the middle path, which made him feel worried.
"Sixth brother and Sister Tongjun are fighting in the distance, and I don't want to be the one who gets hurt."
The girl sighed sadly.
She called her third uncle her father since she was a little girl, and she played with Fu Henghua all day long. The two of them were quarreling and fighting, and she didn't know how much anger she suffered.
Hearing the girl call "Sister Tongjun", the boy scratched his head.
It had only been twelve hours since Fu Henghua's identity changed. After a few days of recognition, "Fu Tongjun" changed from male to female, which made Fu Xuanxing feel a little uncomfortable.
Halfway along the right path, you see a cave.
"Is this cave at the front of the reef?"
On the five mountains in the middle palace, Fu Xuanxing and his two men stood at the base of the reef mountain directly in front.
"When we go to the mountain in the center, we shouldn't take the main road——"
Seeing the grass growing wantonly in the distance, Fu Xuanxing closed his mouth.
Fu Liuhui saw a small stone tablet next to the entrance of the cave, with a warning from Lord Fu Tong written on it: "There are poisonous snakes and weak water ahead, so don't cross it. Go underground."
"Sister said, let's go underground."
Fu Liuhui took the lead in drilling down, and Fu Xuanxing quickly said: "Wait a minute, I'll take the lead."
…
Henghua wanted to follow the footsteps left by his father, so he walked along the middle road.
His path is to climb the reef.
Soon, he saw a stone tablet scattered on the side of the mountain.
The feather fan emits red light, illuminating the stone tablet. It reads: "I went to the buried turtle reef and cooked the turtles for food. However, the skin of the old turtle is tough and the meat contains curses, so it is not delicious..."
The following chapters are about the life of this senior in Buried Turtle Reef.
"It's actually this senior."
Fu Henghua smiled.
He has read a book called "Canglan Travels", which tells the story of a monk's experience of traveling to various large waters hundreds of years ago. Of course, Henghua thinks this book is more like a gourmet notebook, recording the various experiences of the thirteen waters.
How to make living things more delicious.
Fu Henghua read the senior's record and nodded secretly.
Because the spirit turtle carries Luo Shu, it is born with a trace of spirit and longevity. Eating the spirit turtle can prolong life. But similarly, eating the spirit turtle will be counterattacked by the resentment of the spirit turtle.
In mild cases, the appearance will age. In severe cases, death will occur due to misfortune.
Henghua believes that the mutation in the group of people in Zixuan Kingdom is related to eating spirit turtles.
He continued walking forward, and when he reached a narrow mountain road, he stopped.
On the stone wall, there is a small dragon seal.
"Look at the time, how many decades has it been? Dad?"
Fu Henghua was about to reach out and touch it, when he suddenly thought of something and sneered twice.
"The art of purifying dust."
The feather fan was waved lightly, and the poisonous powder applied on Panlong Seal was automatically peeled off.
This is also one of the most superficial spells in the spiritual world. It is originally used to clean dust.
However, after Fu Henghua's improvement, all poisonous powder, true essence, and traces covering the original objects can be forcibly erased.
Henghua even designed an advanced Taoist technique called "Pure World Technique" behind the "Pure Dust Technique". But this Taoist technique requires the Golden Core realm to be activated. Fu Henghua broke out on his own, only to see Fu Dan maintain peace.
Fu Beidou used it.
The Pure Realm is like the realm of the Golden Elixir monk. It can forcibly erase everything within the range.
"That girl knew that I would get excited when I saw the traces of my father. She would reach out to touch him and deliberately use scale powder to touch me. How could I be deceived by such dirty tricks?"
Henghua looked at the path in front of him, which was only for one person to pass sideways.
"With her scheming mind, she will definitely not lay just one trap. She can definitely predict that I will take action to eliminate the scale powder. She should be planning to use this path to continue to trick me when I am careless."
Henghua took out the jade crab and said, "Go."
Jade crabs are crawling on the ground.
Suddenly, an upside-down spider Gu fell in front of him.
"Wow--"
The spider Gu sprayed out a large cloud of silk mist. At that height, even a young man would be entangled in the spider silk.
However--
Henghua watched as the spider silk fell to the ground, and the jade crab happened to walk through that section of the road.
"Fight with me? You are still young."
Henghua put away his feather fan and formed a seal with his hands: "The art of spiritual seal."
Divine consciousness is attached to the jade crab. Through the jade crab, Fu Henghua traces the traces left here by his father and "Senior Canglan".
Naturally, he also used the jade crab body to avoid various witchcraft traps designed by Fu Tongjun.
After seeing the traces left by the two men, Henghua jumped up and rode the wind to the top of the mountain.
The blue clouds are at your feet, and you can see the peaks at a glance.
Under the night, the mountains in the distance are looming.
"The five peaks in the Zhonggong are highly similar, and they are also a Five Elements Formation. The way to enter the Zhongfeng is here."
The jade crab came across from the intersection and jumped back into Fu Henghua's sleeves.
Looking up at the night sky, the twilight is gone tonight, only a few stars are shining brightly.
Looking at the various marks left by his father along the way brought back memories of Fu Henghua's past.
If it hadn't been for the catastrophe thirty years ago, if it hadn't been for the seven demon snakes, my father and mother would not have died at all.
After regaining his composure, Fu Henghua inspected the top of the mountain.
A cool breeze blows, bringing with it a faint fishy smell from the water.
Soon, he saw a tall stone statue on the right side.
This is a life-size statue of a girl. She is holding a vase in one hand, and her other hand is hanging down, pointing to the cliff on the edge.
Henghua saw a line of small words on the base of the stone statue.
"Kowtow and call me sister, give me advice."
"bluff."
Henghua backhandedly wanted to demolish the stone statue.
But after thinking about it, he first placed talismans around the stone statue, then retreated far away before detonating it with magic power.
"break--"
The stone statue exploded, and a chain quickly shot towards the middle peak.
"Tian Luosuo?"
Henghua walked over again and found a hidden stone tablet at the base of the broken ruins of the stone statue.
"I went up to the top of the peak and reached the middle peak with the help of Tianluo Index."
Henghua knows this magic.
It is recorded in "Canglan Travels" and is an advanced application of Qianwansi. It uses magic power to turn into Tianluo chains to connect the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Behind the stone tablet, there are words left by Henghua's father.
"The younger generation is not talented, so he improved the Tianluo Index technique. Taking advantage of the power of the five elements, he set up a four-season rotation formation. He activated the rotation formation and evolved the Tianluo Index on its own."
Wow——
There was another strange sound.
Chains sprouted from the base of the stone statue again and shot towards the two hills next door.
Soon, chains were fired from the two mountain tops to the opposite mountains. The central peak fired chains to the other three peaks.
Green, red, yellow, white and black, five colors of light flow in the formation surrounded by chains.
"Four Seasons Formation, it seems that dad and I want to be together."
The east peak represents spring, which represents wood; the south peak represents summer, which represents fire; the west peak represents autumn, which represents gold; the north peak represents winter, which represents water. Then the earth is in the middle, symbolizing the four seasons of the earth.
Within this formation, you can come and go from every formation eye of the Five Peaks at will.
Henghua took steps toward the cliff, and the formation automatically teleported him to the middle peak.
The scenery is similar to that of the previous peak. Here, Mr. Fu Tong left his last words: "You have been fooled! Sister, I have not found the way to get to the bottom from the middle peak. Just walk on the right path again."
Fu Henghua shook his head and started looking for traces of his father and senior Canglan again.
However, there are no signs of the two of them.
"Do they go down directly from here, or..."
Henghua sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, closing his eyes and concentrating.
…
Fu Xuanxing and Fu Liuhui walked into the cave from the right path. This was an easy and convenient way without any obstruction.
At the bottom of the middle peak, the two found a stone tablet.
"There is a Nine-Dragon Pond at the bottom of the middle peak, which contains the treasure of jade essence. Walk through the Nine-Dragon Acupoint and get it easily."
The two of them did not recognize this line of writing.
But on the back of the stone tablet, there is another line of words.
"There is great danger here. Don't be greedy. The latter will retreat quickly."
Uncle's handwriting!
Fu Liuhui's heart moved: "Why did uncle take this road? Didn't he leave footprints on the middle road?"
Under this line of handwriting, there is also a warning from Mr. Fu Tong.
"Family Fu, listen, the danger ahead is so dangerous, don't get too close. If Lao Qi wants to hunt for treasure, call Uncle Seventeen for help."
Seeing this line of words, Fu Liuhui understood based on his understanding of Fu Tongjun:
"The middle road is blocked, and neither my sister nor uncle can pass through it. She deliberately lured the sixth brother there."
Fu Liuhui wanted to wait here for Fu Henghua's arrival.
But after waiting for a long time, no one was there.
"Miss Fu, look here."
Fu Xuanxing stood on the right wall.
"Is there something here?"
The girl went over and saw the smooth wall, and suddenly smiled: "This is what my sister left."
She used her true energy to stimulate the spiritual wind and gently pushed the wall. A piece of the stone wall fell off with a letter inside.
Fu Liuhui opened it and saw what was written on it: "When you see this letter, it must be someone from your own family. It is more likely to be the seventh brother Henghua, right? Go back and tell your father and the old man not to send anyone to look for you..."
"Sure enough, my sister came to Burial Turtle Reef before leaving Yanlong."
Fu Liuhui sighed quietly and put the letter away.
It's best not to let Sixth Brother see this letter.
"Miss Fu, do we have to wait for Brother Fu Liu?"
Looking at the dark cave in front of him, Fu Liuhui hesitated, turned around and asked, "Do you have any treasures given to you by Senior Song?"
"Something to protect yourself and your life? Yes, don't worry, as long as I'm here, you can save your life."
Fu Liuhui had seen Fu Xuanxing's feats on Erlong Stream.
She knew clearly that Fu Xuanxing should have a Xuanmen secret treasure hidden in his body.
"Then let's go take a look first. If it's really dangerous, we'll get back immediately."
The two of them walked into the Kowloon Pond passage hand in hand.
"Cave?"
At the bottom of the middle peak, there is a huge cave space with all kinds of strange stalactites emitting colorful light.
"Be careful, there are turtle tracks on the ground. There should be a spirit turtle walking this way."
Not long after the two walked forward, they saw a turtle shell in a corner. There were shriveled skins around it. It was obviously a spirit turtle sitting here.
Opposite, there is also a turtle shell.
"Why do all these turtles come here?"
Fu Xuanxing tapped the turtle shell.
"The turtle shells we have seen along the way are all of the foundation-building level. Some turtle shells are even so tough that they can be used to make spiritual weapons."
Turtle Burial Reef, this huge turtle burial place itself is a huge treasure.
The girl's voice echoed faintly in the cave: "If a person is about to die, what does he want to do most?"
"Stop regretting and finish all the things you couldn't finish?"
"No, it's about living."
Fu Liuhui looked at the turtle shells everywhere in the cave.
"These spirit turtles are all foundation-building, golden elixir level spirits. When their lifespan is about to end, if they learn that there is something that can extend their lifespan somewhere, they will do everything they can to fight for a chance to survive."
"Girl, do you know what the treasure is?"
"I heard Brother Six mention that the spiritual turtle lineage's cultivation is different. They are in line with the way of heaven, and they only need to deduce the pattern of Luo Shu on their backs. The more the Luo Shu is in line with the way of heaven, the longer their lifespan will be.
"If you cannot deduce the next level of the Luo Shu by yourself before the deadline, then you only need to find a more profound Luo Shu to extend your life."
Before some turtles die, they will go out of their way to find the remains of their predecessors. By fusing the remains into their own turtle shells, they can extend their lifespan for a period of time.
But the disadvantage of this method is that it is inconvenient to shed its shell and advance, similar to the fake alchemy monks of the human race, who cannot make any progress.
"Brother Six mentioned that Buried Turtle Reef is a natural Luoshu pattern. In other words, the treasure here may be a natural Luoshu."
The two discussed while walking, and after a lot of effort, they finally arrived at Jiulong Pond.
The weak water accumulated into a large pool, and they were currently standing at an exit of the cliff. Looking around, they saw seven other similar exits.
"Eight-sided square pond?"
Fu Liuhui frowned and looked at the nine golden dragons at the bottom of the pool.
Nine dragons are arranged in a coiled shape, all without eyes.
In the Kowloon Arch Bathroom, there is a stone pillar rising out of the water. There is a congenital jade turtle shell placed on it, with a complete Luo Shu pattern on the back.
"Girl, look quickly."
On the inside of the exit where the two of them were, there was a bloody handprint and a hurried line of words.
"Fart's way of life. The five elements are in the dead end. All seven orifices are sealed. If you enter the Nine Dragon Pond, you will die. Retreat quickly."
The handwriting was scrawled, and Fu Liuhui was shocked.
Uncle is injured?
Fu Liuhui knew the strength of Henghua's father. He was proficient in formations and had spiritual weapons at his side. If he couldn't get the "Luoshu", the two of him would be even less able.
"Can Brother Six do it? Maybe we should invite Uncle Seventeen here?"
Looking carefully at the Kowloon Pond, there seems to be a lot of turtle shells on the bottom of the pond.
Obviously, those turtles who came to hunt for treasure were all dead.
Fu Liuhui seemed to have seen a Baxia and a Xuanwu turtle shell.
"Hey - look!"
Fu Xuanxing suddenly became excited and slapped her on the shoulder.
Fu Liuhui raised his head, and the jade turtle shell stood firmly on the stone pillar, without any abnormalities.
"It's not there, it's above. Look up."
Fu Liuhui raised his head, and five colored silk threads hung from the jade turtle shell, getting closer to the turtle shell little by little.
