Yun Lingyuan said: "Are you saying that this barrier was set up by Dean Nanling?"
"Yeah. It should be him. The barrier of the Nine-Bend Lotus Array has extremely high requirements for cultivation, and only people of the level of the four major spiritual academies can set it up. Moreover, the four major spiritual academies were all massacred after the Goddess Palace.
There has been a change, and it is not impossible to say that Dean Nanling wants to hide something by setting up this barrier."
Ye Ming fished in the water, only to bring up a bunch of water splashes, and the reflection in the water was crooked.
"Yuan'er, take a look at what you have on you. Are there any lotus-shaped objects?"
"Lotus-shaped? There seems to be..."
Yun Lingyuan reached into Biling, and Leshan immediately knew what she was looking for and handed a pink jade pendant with lotus pattern petals into her hand.
"That's it. In the back mountain of Youyuju, An Xun used a group of Fengling tribe women to conduct experiments. We rescued five or six survivors. Among them was a girl named Aru. She probably wanted to express her gratitude before leaving.
, asked Ouyang Mu to hand over a jade pendant to me...could this be the key?"
Yun Lingyuan didn't take a closer look when she got it. She only remembered that it was a jade pendant in the shape of a lotus.
At that time, Zi Huo was still fighting against Gong Twelve. Yun Lingyuan was only worried about Zi Huo and didn't think too much about it. She just brought the jade pendant into Bi Ling and put it away without paying attention. Le Shan was still considerate.
Collected.
Now I hold it in my hand and look closely, I realize that the pattern of this jade pendant is exactly the same as the reflection in the water.
Based on this, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this must be something related.
"But does this thing really have something to do with Dean Nanling? By the way, that A'ru said she was the daughter of the Cheng family of Lotus Water Pavilion." After saying that, Yun Lingyuan opened her eyes wide, "Mr. Cheng!! Ye Ming
, is Dean Nanling’s surname Cheng?”
"Yes. Dean Nanling's real name is Cheng Yishui. After he became Dean of Nanling, it was too late for outsiders to mention him by his honorific title, and how could they mention him by name without any reason, so people who know his real name are really
not much."
Yun Lingyuan said excitedly: "That's him. Aru's surname is Cheng. Dean Nanling's surname also happens to be Cheng. What a coincidence, isn't it? Maybe Aru is his daughter!!"
As if she had discovered some shocking secret, Yun Lingyuan continued to use her imagination,
"Then...the barrier is where Dean Nanling hides his beautiful wife. Think about it, that Aru has bright eyes and white teeth, her mother must be a great beauty...but this Dean Nanling
It’s too strange. Even if there is a woman you like, there is no need to hide it. Wouldn’t it be nice to just marry her back and become the dean’s wife?”
Ye Ming smiled, tilted his head slightly, glanced at her sideways, and said, "So what do Yuan'er think?"
As she talked, she felt that she could no longer make it up.
"Okay, I'm talking nonsense. Let's go and have a look. Maybe Tianhu is in there too."
Hearing that she still wanted to find Tianhu, Ye Ming didn't say anything more, took her hand and clasped his fingers with hers.
Ye Ming said: "The key is with you. If you don't fasten it tightly, I will get lost."
This is the truth. There is a maze in the barrier. There is no key or token to guide the way. It is easy to go astray. If Ye Ming holds hands with Yun Lingyuan, as long as Yun Lingyuan does not get lost, he will naturally
You won't get lost. Even if you get lost, it doesn't matter as long as the two of you are together.
Ye Ming raised her hand, as if waiting for her reaction. Although she didn't say anything else, Yun Lingyuan still felt that her cheeks were getting hot. This person, this person really took advantage of her and behaved well.
Yun Lingyuan smiled and said: "Yeah, hold on, hold it tight, don't let go."
Ye Ming was finally satisfied and nodded firmly.
With their fingers clasped together, they walked into the water...
Yun Lingyuan was already ready to sink into the river. Just as she was thinking that the swimming skills she learned in the swimming pool before crossing were not enough to cope with this kind of wild river, her feet touched the hard and crumbling floor.
And the cold river water she imagined did not exist.
Yun Lingyuan raised her head and realized that they had passed through the outermost barrier and were standing on a nine-curved corridor. The corridor was surrounded by a misty lake, and a lake of green lotus leaves slowly
Hidden into the mist, the pink lotus flowers seem to be filled with a layer of floating fairy air. It is not an exaggeration to say that this scene is like being in the ninth heaven.
Yun Lingyuan and Ye Ming walked towards the corridor in front of them for a while. They could still vaguely see the exit corridor, but unknowingly it was filled with fog. They seemed to be unable to reach the end, and even circled back to the original place. It was really shocking.
I wonder if I have entered the barrier or have entered the maze of the barrier.
Ye Ming said: "We are in the maze formation. This Nine-Bend Lotus Formation has been broken. The jade pendant you are wearing has only passed the outermost barrier, and the inner layer has become ineffective."
The reason why the Nine-Bend Lotus Formation has extremely high cultivation requirements for those who set up the barrier is because it has an extra layer of protection than the ordinary barrier. Now it is like a house. Although a hole has been broken,
However, the inside of the house is winding and filled with fog, making it difficult for those who forcefully break the barrier to gain access.
However, just because it is difficult to obtain does not mean that it cannot be obtained. The boundary has been broken. I am afraid that this incomplete maze cannot stop the boundary breaker.
"Who will be the boundary breaker?"
Yun Lingyuan felt vaguely uneasy for some reason.
It is not a simple matter to discover this water barrier, and to be able to break it, the person who breaks it must not be a simple person.
Her intuition told her that it was probably Su.
When she thought about sleeping, her scalp felt numb.
Ye Ming said: "The barrier has just been broken, and the one who broke it is probably still there."
This point can only be seen if the maze is still effective. If the barrier is broken for too long, the maze will disappear when the barrier disappears.
Ye Ming said: "Let's get out of the maze first."
After they walked around the nine-curved corridor twice, Ye Ming figured out the pattern. After all, it was a corner of the maze that had been broken. Based on what he had learned from Dean Nanling in the past, it was not difficult to find a way out.
I followed Ye Ming to the left and right, and after a while, I saw a three-story building at the end of the corridor. The words "Lotus Waterside Pavilion" were engraved on the top of the building. It was indeed the place Aru mentioned.
While walking, Yun Lingyuan was disturbed by something, and her body leaned forward. Ye Ming held her waist and supported her. When she lowered her head, she saw a dead man lying at her feet.
Looking at the clothing of this corpse, it turned out to be the uniform clothing of a certain sect with a lotus pattern as the base and petals. Yun Lingyuan did not forget that the girl named Aru also wore this kind of clothing.
This man died in pain, with several black arrows stuck in his shoulders and back. Looking at the places where the arrows were hit, it was obvious that he was hit by the arrow while running at a high speed, and he was still running away after being hit by the arrow.
The arrow wound was swollen high, red, swollen and black, and spread to the whole body, which turned purple. This man was not shot to death by the arrow, but died of poisoning. The arrow was highly poisonous.
