Zhao Rong went all the way to the top of Jiyue Mountain.
We arrived at the moon pool on the top of the mountain.
At this time, the night was very late.
People who left the land during the day flocked to the place, and the noise of pilgrimage had dissipated.
The top of the mountain at this time.
A newly built moon pool.
A lonely thunderwood.
With a pool of deep blue lake water.
The lakeside is covered with Jiutian Hangong flowers, like miniature full moons and small stars, dotted beside the moon pool.
The atmosphere is as quiet as water, with only the howling mountain breeze.
Zhao Rong squatted in front of the moon pool, staring down at the lake.
At this time, the bright moon hangs high in the sky.
There is also a moon in the water on the moon pool.
Very fitting.
Because Zhao Rong knew that the Tingni Purple Gold Furnace was wading quietly in the mud at the bottom of the lake, and there was a moon rippling gently in the furnace.
And under this moon pool are the ruins of Wangque City.
Zhao Rong suddenly had a strange idea.
At this time, the transparent woman who was obsessed with traveling through eternity was no longer flying on the ruins of Wangque City. She also came to the dome of the ruins, waiting for him to enter the water.
A sense of trance like time and space intertwined.
Zhao Rong shook his head to dispel these distracting thoughts.
The Frost Sky Dawn Horn worn by the transparent woman was still among Zhao Rong's Xumi items. She did not teleport away from the ruins of Wangque City with him, but she left behind the Frost Sky Dawn Horn.
Zhao Rong knew that this was the last gift she gave him.
He squatted beside the moon pool and was silent for a while.
In fact, he still had a doubt at this time.
Is this transparent woman who considers him her brother related to the 'moon' in Tingni's purple gold furnace?
Why did she point it out to him before leaving? Is it related to her appearance?
After all, she may be a princess from the Li clan in the mythical era, so it can be explained that she was awakened by the Riki sword pill in the furnace by accident, but how did this princess have a relationship with him?
The two of them are obviously separated by countless eras, but he is not Liren, he does not have Liren blood, and the memories of his past life that he awakened are not Liren's memories from the ancient mythological era.
So is it because of his new appearance? It was indeed a gift from Luo Xiu, Chun Bai Han Gong, so it looked like someone she knew, Li Ren, who was like an elder brother?
By the way, there was also the strange attraction he felt when he stared at the abyss of sin...
Zhao Rong was full of doubts.
He felt that he had to visit the ruins of Wangque City again if he had the opportunity.
Of course, not now.
Instead, wait until you are stronger in the future before making plans...
Now, he wants to pick the moon.
Just read it.
The man by the water took off his coat, took off the jade sachet and other items and put them away. To be on the safe side, he only carried a sword bag and a water-proof talisman that he had prepared for a long time.
He leaned forward and dove in.
The figure disappeared on the shore.
The next moment, there seemed to be a flash of lightning under the blue water.
Then,
A gray thing the size of a fist rose into the sky, broke out of the water, and landed on the grass next to the moon pool with a twinkling electric light.
Then, a certain embarrassed figure hurriedly emerged from the water, climbed up to the water bank with convulsions all over his body, and fell on his back among the flowers of Jiutianhangonghua, gasping for air.
"Damn it, why does this water seem to have thorns? It's so thorny...".
He was lying on the ground, with lightning flashing all over his body, his limbs twitching faintly, and he wanted to scold his mother.
Gui thought for a while and analyzed calmly:
"It's the sky thunder. This pool of water contains the sky thunder and lightning accumulated in the past. The sky thunder often visits the top of the Moon Festival Mountain. Most of the sky thunder absorbed by the thunder osmanthus plant in the distance is directed into the lake. Even if
The sky thunder has weakened, and over time, the sky thunder contained in this moon pool is also unknown, and it is like a terrifying thunder pool."
"Then why didn't you warn me earlier?"
"Let me give it a try. What if your alien warrior's physique can withstand it?" Gui said casually: "Besides, didn't you know something before? Well, you are the same as me, right? You didn't expect this."
The power of the thunder pool is so strong..."
"..." Zhao Rong was speechless.
Gui curled his lips and said, "And aren't you looking for death? How dare you go down there with a falling sword bag? This falling sword bag is made of fallen wood. It is a natural wood and attracts thunder. If you get into the water, you will be like a child carrying gold through the market. You are looking for death."
"
Zhao Rong gasped and looked at the sky, ignoring the sword spirit who only said things that would be wise after the fact.
At this time, the stiffness and numbness in his body eased a little, and he turned his head to look.
The dropped sword bag was lying limply on the grass nearby.
It was also soaked at this time, and its appearance was dull. It was no better than Zhao Rong.
The lightning of the Nine Heavenly Thunder lingered in the bag for a long time.
The bag spirit was also scared at this time, and the gray smoke did not dare to come out of the bag to check the owner's condition.
Zhao Rong closed his eyes and sensed, calming down the bag spirit's emotions.
It's true that he didn't think carefully about this matter.
Fortunately, the fallen sword bag did not suffer any fundamental damage. After all, the Beihai Immortal had considered the restraint of the sky thunder at the place where it was refined and set up corresponding defensive arrays...
However, this time, Zhao Rong also discovered a weakness of Luo Jian Bao. Although the gray mist is extremely powerful against sword cultivators, it is afraid of powerful things like sky thunder.
"I was just talking about how the Tingni Purple Gold Furnace was able to refine the elixir to perfection this time. It turns out there is a bigger pit underneath..." Zhao Rong muttered speechlessly.
Gui’s voice came again:
"Zhao Rong, is there anything you can do?"
Zhao Rong said nothing and stood up silently after his body could move a little.
He took a deep breath.
Jump directly into the lake.
Dive as hard as you can.
Taking advantage of the fact that my body had just been possessed by thunder and was slightly immune to numbness.
Zhao Rong pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, desperately heading deeper into the lake.
Then,
Thunder strikes again.
Looking down from the heights of the lake, a thunder curtain suddenly appeared under the lake... It was composed of a total of nine heavenly thunders from all directions, and finally gathered on the human-shaped black shadow... Zhao Rong twitched all over, and was finally struck by thunder.
It exploded out of the water and fell onto the grass.
The man twitched wildly for a while among the flowers of Jiutianhangonghua by the lake.
Even the underwater force splashed on his body had electric light flowing through it.
He used the last bit of strength to hold up his hands and turned over.
Staring at the sky with blank eyes.
daze.
Gui Wuyu said, "Forget it, don't go down. Your current body can't hold it. You've only dived less than a quarter of the way down. It's estimated that even a top-grade martial artist's body can't hold it back..."
Zhao Rong's eyes regained some movement and he silently looked at the starry sky above his head.
He told Qingjun that he would pick a bright moon for her.
He also told Xiaoxiao that he would trade a bright moon for hers.
Zhao Rong recovered silently for a while. His hands spread out in the grass and soil moved and he could slowly make fists. His body seemed to have some strength again.
Zhao Rong got up and said something.
He wiped his face, took off his wet undershirt, left his arms bare, took three deep breaths in a row, tried jumping twice on the spot, and stretched out his paralyzed muscles.
It couldn't help but said: "No, don't seek death..."
Before Sword Spirit finished speaking, the man disappeared by the lake again.
Entered the lake.
Ten breaths later.
There was lightning again in the calm moon pool.
Lightning intertwined under the water, like a curtain of light.
A man was blasted out of the Moon Lake by thunder, thrown tens of meters high, and fell in a parabola-like free fall. He fell heavily on the grass, and water droplets mixed with electric light shot out in all directions, just like the silver scales of a carp that landed at high altitude.
The 'carp' fell straight on the shore, its body no longer twitching, but a little charred. Fortunately, only some of its perfectly curved muscles were scorched by electricity...
He was motionless.
This time I didn’t have to turn over, I just fell down and looked up at the sky with my hands spread out.
The air next to the moon pool became quiet again.
Returned to silence.
The fallen sword bag that fell to the ground not far away had recovered a lot. At the mouth of the bag, small tentacles formed from gray smoke stretched out. It cautiously came to Zhao Rong and touched the back of his hand worriedly.
But soon, the gray tentacles were put back into the bag, because they found that their master was still alive and received orders from him with a weak breath.
The sword spirit said softly: "The thunder pool contained in this thunder pool becomes more terrifying as you go down. When you reach the bottom of the lake, its power will probably reach the intensity of the thunder that a Golden Core monk can use to overcome the tribulation. If you go further down with your current body, you are just looking for death.
I can’t hold it…”
"Shut up."
He was so weak even after scolding me that he even coughed and took a few breaths.
Gui smiled and wasn't angry either.
I don’t know how long it took for him to come here, but his exhausted body recovered a little. This time he didn’t get up again.
The man stared blankly at the galaxy in a daze.
The mountain breeze comes slowly.
The flowers of Jiutian Hangong swayed and bloomed, spreading their clear brilliance.
His whole body felt cool and numb.
He raised his hand and rubbed his face.
Then,
Suddenly he laughed.
Question: "Gui, am I useless?"
"Uh-huh." Sword Spirit held back his venomous tongue and just hummed.
"I said I wanted to unite my family, but I couldn't even get a piece of the moon. After struggling in Dali for so long and going through all this, it was still in vain. I fell at the last step... Am I very useless?"
"It's not your fault. Even if you are in the Golden Core Realm, this Lei Chi will be difficult to deal with. You are in the late Fuyao Realm, and you are already beyond your capabilities... Zhao Rong, let's take a long-term view. We have survived for such a long time, and we can't do it."
It’s only an hour and a half away.” Sword Spirit advised.
It felt that it had to be fair at this time.
"No, just answer my question, am I useless?"
Gui thought about it and took a shot: "Well, this is what you asked me to say..."
Zhao Rong nodded.
"Isn't this nonsense? You must be useless." It complained immediately and rolled its eyes.
Zhao Rong was quiet for a while.
Then,
Suddenly he laughed louder.
It was not the frustrated silence or angry reply that Sword Spirit had expected.
He was wading in the grass, looking at the bright moon above his head that he couldn't grasp, just like the "moon in the water", and laughed loudly.
On the empty mountain top where the evening wind howls.
"What are you laughing at?" Gui Qi asked.
"Laughing at myself."
"Actually, you don't have to blame yourself so much, what if..." It thought for a while, curled its lips, but still comforted: "What if Zhao Lingfei actually doesn't want this bright moon."
"Well, all this is actually because you think she likes it. You think she will like it. But, well, I think that depending on her temperament, she might be happier to see you back than to see Li Ji Jianwan.
How much? As for Su Xiaoxiao, who you want to change to come in, maybe she is not in a hurry? She has been waiting for so long. What this stupid fox demon cares about may only be your intention to act hard. Wait for her earlier and later.
It shouldn’t matter...you are a chauvinist, and you still care about saving face."
"Go back." Zhao Rong suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied and want to argue again?"
"No, you're right." He tilted his head with a smile.
At this time, he was lying on his back on the ground, tilting his head and staring at the two Nine-Day Han Palace Flowers very close to his head.
I was stunned when I heard the words.
A certain guy who was stubborn and refused to be taught actually relented.
What a strange thing.
Zhao Rong looked carefully at the two Nine Heavenly Han Palace flowers in front of him for a long time, and thought they were very beautiful swaying in the evening breeze. They were really beautiful.
"Gui, that's why...I'm laughing, laughing at myself." He nodded and smiled.
Sword Spirit was speechless for a while, then blinked, held back his laughter and looked away, "Well, it's good that you know."
This time it didn't take the opportunity to laugh at him after he admitted it.
Zhao Rong's eyes did not move at this time, as if he had discovered something very beautiful in his field of vision.
He stared intently at the two swaying Nine-Day Winter Palace Flowers on the side of his head.
His head was just below the two flowers at the moment, and the angle of view when he was lying on his back was from the bottom up.
Then a scene like this appeared in his eyes: the petals of two Nine Heavenly Cold Palace Flowers were scattered in all directions, with the night sky as the curtain. They were embedded in the night sky above his head, like two bright moons hanging high, occupying all the field of vision in front of him.
It even covers the real bright moon in the night sky.
The two 'moons' compete for glory together.
It’s just like the vision of ‘two bright moons’ in the Fengchan Hall yesterday.
However there is a difference.
Because...the two 'bright moons' are very close at this time.
He can pick it.
At your fingertips... within reach.
At this time.
"So, what are you going to do now? Lie here? Or will you camp and rest?" Sword Spirit asked.
"Return."
"Huh?" it asked curiously.
"Are you hungry?" he asked suddenly.
Return: "…………"
It felt that someone was entertaining it, and when it was about to get angry and go back, he spoke again.
"I'm hungry."
Zhao Rong smiled and said, "I'm starving to death."
As he spoke, he covered his stomach with both hands.
Gui was stunned and asked: "Um, so what?"
"So, go home and eat when you are hungry! Besides... who said I didn't pick the moon? Two rounds."
The tone is proud.
On the top of the Moon Festival Mountain, a man was lying on the grass with his head turned sideways. He suddenly stretched out his hand, plucked the two 'Moon Flowers' in front of him with a smile, and stood up.
Shirtless, he picked up the gray pipe, grabbed his robe, and ran down the mountain in large strides.
On the mountain road, someone was running and jumping, while getting dressed and tying his sweetheart's jade plaque and sachet, he ran towards home without looking back.
Holding two rounds of 'moons' in his hands.
Just like...a naughty boy who happily ran back to eat when he got hungry after playing outside.
