Chapter two hundred and eighty third the vicissitudes of life
Qin Mu picked up the Huang Jing, turned it over and looked at it. The other Huang Jing poked their heads out from under the leaves, grass, cracks in the rocks, and the sand. When they saw the giant picking up their companions, they couldn't help but exclaimed, and then hid shamelessly.
Got deeper.
Qin Mu looked carefully and saw that the two legs of this Huang Jing were made up of many roots intertwined together. It was wearing a grass-woven skirt around its waist and had a root-like beard on its face.
He also held a spear made of bamboo branches in his hand. The spearhead was sharp and made of a strange piece of metal. Qin Mu couldn't help but be stunned. He picked up the spear, which was as small as a needle, and looked at the metal of the spearhead carefully.
He couldn't tell what kind of metal it was made of, but the strange thing was that there were traces of runes imprinted on the metal. Judging from the clothes of these Huang Jings, it was impossible for them to be proficient in rune spells and the like.
So where does the metal on the spear come from?
Maybe he woke up, but Huang Jing was shivering, and suddenly a green leaf bud popped out from his head. He was too nervous, and the leaf bud also grew very fast.
Qin Mu smiled and said: "Don't pretend to be dead. I don't want to eat you, but I just have some questions to ask you."
Huang Jing bravely opened his eyes and saw Qin Mu smiling with his teeth shining brightly. He couldn't help but exclaimed resentfully and fainted.
There was a cry of killing from the island, and hundreds of Huang Jing came to kill fiercely. They were obviously the troops coming to the rescue. When they saw Qin Mu pinching their companions, these Huang Jing immediately turned around and ran away.
Qin Mu was stunned and shook his head: "It's so unloyal..."
He flicked the leaf on Huang Jing's forehead in his hand, and the Huang Jing woke up again. Qin Mu let go of his hand, and his vitality lifted him up, letting him float in front of the three people, and said: "Stop pretending to be dead, stop pretending to be dead."
You are really dead. Let me ask you, why are there so many Huang Jing on the island?"
The Huang Jing was trembling and said: "I don't know either, I have to ask my ancestors!"
Qin Mu frowned and asked again: "Where did your spearhead come from?"
"I don't know, I have to ask my ancestors."
Qin Mu had no choice but to put him down and said, "Take us to meet your ancestors."
The yellow spirit fell on the ground and walked toward the island. A small head popped out of the grass next to it and said angrily: "Traitor!"
Qin Mu reached out and grabbed Huang Jing out of the grass and said, "You also lead the way to meet your ancestors."
This Huang Jing immediately lost his temper, became a traitor in despair, and walked towards the island with the traitors around him. The traitor next to him suddenly became very proud, as if he was the first one to surrender.
"There are too many polygonatum on the island."
Si Yunxiang was surprised. They came to the island and discovered something strange. There were houses hanging on the trees here. They were very small, about the same size as a bird's nest, and were made of blue rattan woven into the shape of a house.
Hanging under the branches, they look like big green apples from a distance.
When they came over, the doors of the houses in the trees opened, and many Huang Jing stood behind the doors and looked around secretly, like a strange tree world.
There are also many houses built by Huang Jing with small stones on the ground to form cities, but even the cities are only about the size of an acre.
Two Huang Jing walked into the listless city. The Huang Jing soldiers guarding the city stared blankly at Qin Mu and the other three giants. They were so surprised that they were speechless and did not fight back.
"I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of Huang Jing here!"
Si Yunxiang was shocked and whispered: "Master, if you can catch these Huang Jing and sell them, you will be rich enough to rival the country!"
Qin Mu stopped outside the city and did not enter the city. He shook his head and said, "Why do you do this?"
Si Yunxiang wondered: "Isn't this the law of the Daxu where the weak eat the strong?"
"Saintess, the law of the jungle in Daxu is a little different from what you think."
Qin Mu explained: "Although the strange beasts in Daxu also hunt and eat the weak, they will not do more unnecessary killings as long as they are full. This is the law of the jungle, and it does not mean that everyone who is weaker than me will be killed and eaten. These
Huang Jing is also a creature with wisdom, and has even established its own civilization and country. When we come to their territory, it is the exchange between civilized creatures and civilized creatures. How can there be one who wants to destroy the country and the race?"
Si Yunxiang was thoughtful.
Not long after, I saw many Huang Jing driving out of a splendid mansion in the city in a car, and came to the city gate. An old lady with white hair and a bright head was sitting on the frame of the car, and she stood up from the car tremblingly.
Seeing the courtesy, he said: "I haven't seen outsiders for a long time. The children are a little panicked. I am being polite here."
"You're welcome, elder."
Qin Mu returned the gift respectfully and said: "The three foolish sisters passed by the treasure land and disturbed the elder's people. Please atone for your sins."
Ling Yuxiu and Si Yunxiang couldn't help laughing when they saw that the old lady Huang Jing was only a foot tall and pitiful. However, Qin Mu followed the etiquette and did not dare to show any slights.
But the two women also treated each other according to the etiquette.
Old Mrs. Huang Jing said: "The humble house is too small to accommodate the bodies of three giants. I cannot invite the three of them in. I apologize. Are the three of you passing by here?"
Qin Mu smiled and said: "The three of me were passing by and planned to take a rest. I saw something strange about your country, so I bothered you. May I ask the elder, why are there so many Huang Jing here?"
The old lady smiled and said: "It must be a problem of water and soil. When I woke up, I was by a spring, and suddenly I had wisdom and branches and leaves, so that there were more and more children."
"A spring?"
Qin Mu was surprised and said, "Elder, can you lead us to have a look?"
The old lady Huang Jing smiled and said: "You have nothing to do." After saying that, she ordered the other Huang Jing to drive out of the city and took them to a spiritual spring on the island. This spring was not big, it was a deep pool, only six or seven feet long.
It is round but bottomless, and many Polygonati fetch water here. No matter how much water is taken, the water in the Tan will not decrease.
Qin Mu took some spring water and looked at it with his Qingxiao eyes. His face was solemn. He saw that there was a strange power in the spring water, which was very extraordinary.
The Huang Jing on the island must have drank the water here all year round, so it has become a spirit, and there is no evil spirit in it.
"This spring is no small matter." Ling Yuxiu and Si Yunxiang also noticed the strangeness and thought to themselves.
Qin Mu stood up and said, "I see that your weapons are a bit strange. May I ask where they come from?"
The old lady Huang Jing said: "These things were picked up by the children and washed out of the spring water."
"It came out of the spring?"
Qin Mu looked at the deep pool, pondered for a moment, and said, "Elder, we want to enter the pool and have a look."
"Although you are giants, you must be careful. This pool is unfathomable and I don't know how many children have drowned."
The old lady Huang Jing hurriedly called people and said: "I ordered them to get a long cane, and you can tie it to your body and get down. If you can't hold your breath, come up along the cane."
"Need not."
Qin Mu took a long breath, the surrounding wind howled, and he sucked in an unknown amount of air into his chest, and then jumped into the pool. Ling Yuxiu and Si Yunxiang also quickly inhaled and jumped in.
The three of them activated their skills respectively. Ling Yuxiu practiced the Nine Dragons Emperor Kung Fu, and her body swam like a dragon. Si Yunxiang activated the God of Creation Kung Fu, like a fish swimming through the water and swimming towards the bottom.
This pool of water turned out to be bottomless. As they dived in for a long time, they saw that the surroundings were getting darker and darker. There was still no bottom, and the pressure was getting bigger and bigger.
Suddenly a bright light appeared in front of me, and I saw that the walls of the deep pool gradually became much wider, and there were castano-sized luminous pearls hanging on the stone walls, emitting a faint light.
"It's bigger than the night pearl in the palace!" Ling Yuxiu said in surprise.
As they went further forward, there were more night-glow pearls. They dived hundreds of feet, and felt the pressure was so heavy that it seemed like it was going to crush their lungs. Their eyes were bloodshot, and their eardrums were buzzing. If they dived any deeper, they would be afraid of peeing.
It would be life-threatening. Qin Mu was about to call the two girls and return the way they came. At this moment, they saw a large cauldron.
The deep pool finally reached the bottom.
There is a large cauldron sitting at the bottom of the deep pool. It is more than ten feet long and wide. It is very huge. There is a weak water flowing out of the cauldron. However, the surroundings of the big cauldron are empty, without any water. Instead, there are
The air is bright as day.
Qin Mu swam and passed through the water curtain. He immediately fell down and quickly landed on his feet.
Ling Yuxiu and Si Yunxiang also swam out of the water and landed on the ground, their bodies wet.
Qin Mu glanced at Si Yunxiang and quickly hugged her chest with both hands, but saw that Ling Yuxiu seemed unconscious and quickly rubbed her with his shoulder and whispered: "I'm looking at you!"
Only then did Ling Yuxiu wake up, hurriedly turned around, and used her vitality to shake off the water on her body.
Qin Mu withdrew his gaze and thought to himself: "It's not like I haven't seen it before. I saw it when I slept there last time. It's no big deal that the breasts are bigger and whiter than mine. The strength is not as good as mine."
The three of them dried their clothes and looked around. They saw that this place should be the bottom of the sea. Outside was pitch-black sea water. Black smoke could also be seen coming out of chimneys on the bottom of the sea. Occasionally, a stream of lava spewed out. From time to time, there were strange things in the sea.
The creature was attracted by the bright light here and swam over, revealing its huge body. It was unknown what kind of monster it was.
In front of them, gorgeous pillars stood up one after another, emitting a quiet light. Further forward, one could see the mist, with a huge palace vaguely appearing in the mist.
The soles of their feet were made of white marble, and the building was very flat. The rubble was scattered around.
There are some pillars around the cauldron behind them, which should be the remains of a great hall.
The water rose from the cauldron and did not connect with the sea water. It was Huang Jing on the island who drank the water gushing from the cauldron, and then he opened his spiritual wisdom and became a spirit.
"I've seen places like this before."
Qin Mu's heart was slightly shaken and he said: "There is Yongjiang Dragon Palace in the Great Ruins. The layout is similar to this, but smaller than here. It is the residence of Dragon King Yongjiang and the place where Dragon King manages Yongjiang."
"Is this also a dragon palace?" Si Yunxiang was a little excited.
"It's not Dragon Palace."
Ling Yuxiu shuddered and whispered: "I didn't feel the breath of the dragon. On the contrary, I felt the breath that was extremely unfriendly to the dragon... I'm afraid there is a god here!"
"Even if there is a god, he is a dead god."
Qin Mu stepped forward and waved his sleeves. Countless rubble flew up and fell to the side, revealing a collapsed stone tablet. The words on the stone tablet were very ancient, with the words "Qushan Temple" written on it.
"Qushan God?"
Qin Mu frowned: "Are there mountain gods under the sea?"
Si Yunxiang shook her head and said: "There can't be a mountain god under the sea, unless this place used to be land..."
