Chapter one hundred and thirty-fifth: far and wide
"The Crystal Palace will shine in the eyes of dragons and mermaids." She guessed their doubts. "In your eyes, it seems transparent and completely blends into the dark building. You have to be careful, even if the walls are transparent,
It can also be used for hiding.”
"We are waiting for you some distance above, where there was a sunken ship before. If you encounter danger, come up and don't stay down there for too long," another young man said.
A few people nodded and then headed towards the darkness.
"You guys have to come back quickly!" Miss Quan shouted from behind, and Bai Ya made a simple gesture.
I wonder if they were used to the darkness, but they were not overly afraid. Newborn calves moved forward as if they were not afraid of tigers. They soon touched the bottom of the sea. There was not a lot of sand here, but it felt hard to the touch. Qi Huan bent down
He reached out and grabbed a handful on the ground. It felt very hard. After peeling away the blue light brought by the amber, this area should be a gray-white coral reef.
An octopus hiding in the depression was startled, and it flew away in disgust, causing a burst of dark gray dust.
Mr. Shuangyue raised his arm to stop them in front, signaling them not to go any further.
The eyes of the Six Paths of Impermanence may be like those of a shark, and they can see something unusual. Bai Ya suddenly stretched out his hand towards Liu Shenghan. After a brief moment of confusion, she understood what he meant and handed the amber to his hand.
inside.
Just like the first time he dealt with Luwu, he held up the amber in front of his eyes and scanned the darkness in front of him through it. Unexpectedly, the Crystal Palace was closer than he thought, almost within reach. No wonder Shuangyue Lord would let him
They stopped. The Crystal Palace-Dragon Palace stood in front of him. As long as he took a few steps forward, he could touch the bright and icy walls. If he was too close, even if it was through
He couldn't get a glimpse of the Dragon Palace even after passing through Lan Po Bai Ya. He could only see all the building parts, all emitting a faint light. He couldn't tell the color, but he just thought they looked cold. Moreover, they were all translucent.
Yes, he seemed to be able to see something through the wall, but it seemed as if he couldn't see anything... He couldn't describe this feeling, the transparency and haziness, clarity and blur of looking at flowers in the fog.
It's like a kind of transparency with color.
Qi Huan reached out and took the blue amber from Bai Ya's hand, imitating his appearance. He saw the same scene and had the same feelings as him. Qi Huan couldn't describe it, but he found that several people were communicating silently without knowing it.
It went much smoother. Compared to that time when they were dancing under the sea and not knowing what to do, now they have a better understanding, which may be a good thing.
Liu Shenghan's eyes were a little dim. She glanced at Qi Huan who was watching her and shook her head.
She seemed to be saying: It would be great if Jun Aoyan was here too.
Bai Ya wanted to return the amber to her, but she waved her hand and pushed it back, as if it was not needed. He was a little confused, but accepted it.
——Then you stay with us.
So far, nothing special seems to have happened. Qi Huan thought that the Dragon Palace, which they described so horribly, should look like an evil dragon occupying it, even if it was not magnificent, but it was still very quiet now. Just now
Thinking of this, he felt something strange behind him and turned back suddenly. Others noticed it almost at the same time and turned back with him. But behind him, there was nothing but endless darkness - a darkness that even amber could not light up.
All gone.
But the feeling... was very real. It was like some huge fish, or an invisible ghost, quietly passing behind them. Perhaps the masters of the deep sea were watching silently in a place beyond their reach.
Every move of several people.
Bai Ya raised his hand, held Lan Po in his hand, and closed his fingers. He seemed to be saying to everyone:
Now they have to weaken the light. In the past, it might have served as a demonstration, so that foreign objects would not dare to approach. But now they don't know what they will face, so they have to be careful and don't be regarded as a provocation by those unknown monsters.
.
The scope of the light shrank, barely enough for four people to gather in a small area. Looking at everything in front of him through the cracks of his fingers and through the blue amber, Bai Ya was a little dizzy. When his sight was in this irregular sphere, the picture was like
It's a bit twisted, not to mention that he knows nothing about this place, and no matter how good his sense of direction is, he can't withstand such a torment - this place is simply like a maze. However, Lord Shuangyue in his sight is strolling leisurely, as if he is "going back to his own home".
"Do you know the mechanism of the tomb?"
This voice suddenly fell into the originally quiet ears of several people, and they were all startled. If they didn't know that this was Lord Shuangyue's voice, they might have lost their souls. The three of them looked at him in unison,
Suddenly it stopped, and the light stopped moving forward. This made Mr. Shuangyue in front a little confused.
"Why don't you talk?"
How to say?
"Use that one?"
Lord Shuangyue pointed at the amber in Bai Ya's hand, and he was stunned for a moment. Of course Qi Huan knew that Poseidon's magic weapon can directly connect the thoughts of living creatures, but how to do it? How did Lord Shuangyue do it?
"How does this work?"
The question in his mind actually made his "voice" come out directly. He subconsciously covered his mouth, and then realized that this was unnecessary.
"Uh, let me go...Here, I don't know what's going on. This makes me afraid to think randomly. It would be very shameful if I have any unspeakable thoughts and are heard. Alas, this is a little bit
There was no movement at all, so I was scared." Yunnan
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
"Wow, Lao Bai, you can speak now. This is so easy."
"For the time being... it seems that only information that needs to be conveyed can be selectively expressed by Amber." This is Liu Shenghan's voice, "Maybe even Yaksha cannot achieve complete ideological commonality. Maybe it is related to tacit understanding.
, when the tacit understanding reaches a certain level, you can really talk about everything and know everything."
"That is a very grand and terrible thing." This is the voice of Lord Shuangyue. "If it is completely realized, I am afraid that Yaksha will have unified the Nine Heavens Kingdom."
In fact, strictly speaking, the voices they heard in their heads did not really come from everyone's voice. But the words and sentences that were directly thrown into their thoughts did make them clearly aware of who said which sentence, just like
Just like a dream.
The problem of dialogue was solved in this way. They were all a little happy, but their worries were not reduced. Moreover, they did not know the longest communication network given to them by Lan Po, and no one dared to try it.
"The Crystal Palace is essentially a maze." This is what the sharks once told them.
Before coming, the sharks had done a lot of homework for these people. In order to avoid the invasion of foreigners, the Crystal Palace had set up many obstacles and mechanisms. Those things condensed the magic power and wisdom of the ancient sharks. Although it sounds like a gorgeous place
The palace, in fact, is a place of death with no return for foreigners.
"Why are you so...exaggerated?" At that time, Qi Huan expressed his doubts frankly, "This is already in a very deep sea, so there can't be humans coming, right?"
"The mechanism is not fatal. The orb can hear our heartbeat in the deep palace." The female shark covered her chest. The heart of the shark is in the center of the chest. "But for foreigners, it is very
Danger. The Crystal Palace is 'alive'. It can understand many languages and read the hearts of many people. What's more, our enemies are far more than just you humans."
Bai Ya then asked: "What else? For example, on land, there are ferocious beasts that pose a threat to people - ferocious sea fish?"
"These are not a big trouble." Another female mermaid with rose-red scales said. She is a little different from other mermaids. There are also a few shining scales on her face, which makes her look a bit good-looking.
Come on. She is one of Miss Quan's sisters.
She continued: "You mentioned Yaksha, right?"
"Yaksha?" Liu Shenghan asked, "They...are your enemies?"
"If you are talking about the kind of things that... look very different from ours, are ugly, strong, and have green faces and fangs, then it is them."
"Although we have seen many kinds of ugly things you mentioned, I think we are talking about the same kind." Shenghan nodded.
"Huh, that's them." Miss Quan's sister said, "But they are not our enemies - but ourselves. Isn't it very - incredible? Unexpected?"
Miss Quan's sister seems to have some understanding of the culture on the ground. She knows many words and phrases that others do not understand. Moreover, according to them, she is one of the very few sharks who has been to land - just forty or fifty years ago.
.But at that time, the Nine Heavens Kingdom was not what it is today, and the orb was still in the hands of the shark. She was responsible for telling a few people what she had seen and heard in the Crystal Palace, and everything she knew about Yasha.
"Yaksha is also a shark?" This is indeed surprising.
"Don't say that, they are no longer the same as us." Miss Quan's sister said, "A long time ago, there were some sharks with evil intentions who wanted to steal the orbs, take them for themselves, and build their own kingdom.
And regulations. Like all the Mermaids who have gone through many tests, they came to the huge pearl, and then..."
"Then they were all turned into monsters!" Miss Quan heard this story and she quickly answered. Her sister was a little dissatisfied and hit her lightly. But it didn't matter, this was a story without any suspense.
.
"So those with evil intentions will be punished by the orb?" Qi Huan asked.
"That's right. They became so ugly that no one knew each other. They thought they had met enemies or had hallucinations and started fighting each other. The remaining monsters escaped from the Crystal Palace and never dared to come back.
Although they did not make a wish, they grew two legs, and they did not change back. This is an eternal curse. Presumably, their team has grown stronger over the years.
They are much bigger. After all, there are other sharks who have seen them... However, even their brains have become difficult to use. They are all dull and stupid. They only show their strength when they see sharks or humans.
Then, all the organs in the Crystal Palace will launch fatal attacks on them - when they came, the orb gave them a chance to give up their thoughts."
"Amber gave them wisdom..." Lord Shuangyue's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself, "In other words, by connecting their limited thoughts together, they become smarter."
"That's why they have the brains and courage to do evil on the coast." Bai Ya clenched his fists, "But it doesn't matter, we have stopped those guys. I guess there are still a lot of remnants, but they can't become a big deal anymore."
"Yes." Miss Quan's sister clapped her hands, "That's why we firmly believe that you will definitely have a way to get the orb back!"
"...but that's a dragon."
When their thoughts returned to the present, several people stopped temporarily and looked at Shuangyue Lord to see what he was going to say next.
