Chapter 34: Xianyin Yuntai, Jade Pool Golden Lotus
The vast sea of clouds and the long iron cable bridge.
You can't see the other side in front of you, and you can't see where you came from behind.
Even though Xu Yinglian had a delicate heart and knew that this bridge could not be endless, she still felt a little inexplicably nervous.
Fortunately, I have my senior brother by my side...
Kunlun Mirror noticed her thoughts and quickly and quietly removed her aura.
Then Xu Yinglian gradually noticed that there was a warm feeling in the palm of her senior brother's hand, as if he was injecting strength into her.
If she knows what the "suspension bridge effect" is, she will understand that in critical situations, girls will instinctively become dependent on and fond of the boys around them. This is a natural physiological phenomenon evolved by human beings.
Of course, Junior Sister Xu didn't understand this either. She just grabbed her senior brother's hand, moved her legs as hard as she could and rushed forward, with the Yujia Sword swaying beside her, ready to shoot out at any time.
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally reached the other side successfully.
What I saw here was a large cloud platform with a clear stream as a spring and white jade as bricks. There was also a misty fairy voice singing faintly in the distance, making the surroundings seem more ethereal and holy.
"What the hell is this?" Kunlun Jing complained, "Even if it is built to imitate the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West, playing music every day is too outrageous. Isn't it too noisy?"
"Doesn't the Xiwangmu Shrine have an atmosphere group?" Qiu Changtian asked.
"What is the atmosphere group..." Kunlun Jing sighed and said, "Of course not, the empress likes peace and quiet."
"Who is the empress?" Qiu Changtian asked knowingly.
"Of course she is the Queen Mother of the West." Kunlun Jing said, "But she has left this world for a long time."
"Ajing, I would like to hear the details."
"It's a long story. In short, in the past ten thousand years, the immortal world has become farther and farther away from the human world. Now it is almost like heaven and humans are separated forever, unable to interfere with each other." Kunlun Jing said in a regretful tone, "If this were not the case, this world would not be just
I am left busy repairing the sky."
"If you are willing to listen, we can talk about it later. Now it is better to find a way to get out of here."
"Let me tell you: Shenhuo Dao has an almost fanatical fascination and pursuit of the Immortal Cave, so I estimate that since this place is built after the West Queen Mother Shrine, the terrain and environment should be similar."
"If this is true, then in the backyard of the shrine, in the peach forest, there is a 'Lin Well' that can lead to the lower realm, which corresponds to the exit from the secret realm here."
Qiu Changtian nodded after hearing this, then turned to his junior sister and said:
"As far as I know, Shenhuo Dao has an almost fanatical obsession and pursuit of the Immortal Family Cave..."
He repeated the analysis of the Kunlun Mirror, and Xu Yinglian frowned, slightly surprised:
"So the exit is probably in the backyard of the shrine? Okay, anyway, we can only explore this place, there is no other way."
"That's right." Qiu Changtian agreed, "If we just continue to move forward, we will definitely encounter other dangers such as the golden armored warriors. Junior sister, please follow me closely and don't move around without permission."
"That's natural." Xu Yinglian said coldly, "Also, senior brother, can you let go of my hand first?"
Qiu Changtian was startled for a moment before he noticed that he was still holding his junior sister's hand. He quickly smiled and let go of her.
Xu Yinglian gently rubbed the left hand that was held just now with his right hand, and asked with a slightly unnatural look on his face:
"Shall we head directly to the shrine ahead? Or should we explore the cloud platform here first?"
"It's better to be careful and explore clearly." Qiu Changtian replied, "If there is a danger like a golden armored warrior here, but we don't know it and continue to go deeper, we will be blocked from both ends and attacked from both sides. It will be troublesome.
Already."
"That's right." Xu Yinglian nodded and said.
The two began to explore Yuntai.
Although the Yuntai is large, there are not many buildings that block the view, only the pool, the sky gate, and the arcade.
When Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian came to the pond, they saw withered lotus leaves and shriveled lotus pods in the pond, as if they had been basically dead for thousands of years.
"Huh?" Kunlun Jing said suddenly, "It's actually the real Yaochi Golden Lotus. Where did these people get it?"
"Yaochi Golden Lotus?"
"In this world, it is a relatively rare fairy spirit. Eating its lotus seeds can open acupuncture points all over the body and increase the efficiency of breathing and refining Qi."
"I see, then there is an illusion trap by the pool..."
"There is no trap." Kunlun Mirror replied.
So Qiu Changtian raised the jade dragon sword and rolled it directly into the pool.
Xu Yinglian was startled, and quickly raised the Yujia Sword to prepare for the formation. It was not until he confirmed that there were no formation traps in the Yaochi that he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Senior brother is too reckless. What if the hidden restriction is triggered?
She thought to herself, and wanted to teach her senior brother a lesson, but then she thought:
Could it be that Senior Brother noticed some details and was able to confirm that there was no trap formation here, so he took action decisively?
Yes, no matter what, in the end it was proved that the senior brother did not make a mistake. If I teach him hastily and he laughs at me with his arguments, it will appear that I am not careful...
Humph, I won’t be fooled by my senior brother.
[No enemies, synchronization value +1.]
After hearing the reminder, Qiu Changtian was speechless in his heart, but his face remained calm. He carefully peeled off the shriveled lotus pods rolled over by the sword light, and finally found two intact lotus seeds.
"Yaochi Golden Lotus Seeds, do you want to eat them?" He gave one to his junior sister.
"Can these lotus seeds be eaten?" Xu Yinglian doubtfully picked up the lotus seeds with two fingers and looked at them carefully under the light.
"Of course." Qiu Changtian said confidently, and asked Kunlun Jing in his mind, "right?"
"The immortal spiritual objects will lose their spiritual power over time, but they can still be eaten." Kunlun Mirror gave the answer.
So Qiu Changtian threw the lotus seeds into his mouth and started chewing them.
Well, it's as crispy as French fries and as hard as fried peas. In short, it doesn't taste very good and I don't feel much after eating it.
Seeing that the senior brother was eating it easily, junior sister Xu was naturally unwilling to be left behind and just threw it into her mouth.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!" This throw accidentally slipped into her throat and got stuck in her esophagus, causing her to cough violently.
Qiu Changtian hurriedly went over to pat her back. Xu Yinglian tightened his chest and swallowed hard. He finally managed to get it down and avoid becoming the first monk in history to be choked to death.
Then she turned her head and glared at Qiu Changtian.
"Junior sister, don't be anxious." Qiu Changtian said with a gentle smile, "This lotus seed is a spiritual creature from the fairy world. Although a lot of spiritual energy has been lost, it should still have the effect of opening acupuncture points all over the body, increasing the efficiency of breathing in spiritual energy."
Xu Yinglian was immediately moved. This improves the efficiency of breathing spiritual energy and directly affects the efficiency of practice upgrades. Even a small improvement is extremely valuable.
Thinking of this, she turned to look at the lotus pods on the ground and couldn't help but check them again.
It's a pity that Qiu Changtian didn't make a mistake. There are indeed only two lotus seeds here, not more.
Xu Yinglian still didn't give up, and stretched her neck to look into the Yaochi, wanting to confirm whether there were any undiscovered lotus pods in the pond.
Qiu Changtian found it funny and asked her:
"Junior sister, are you looking for koi in the pond?"
Xu Yinglian's cheeks were slightly red. She heard that her senior brother was laughing at her, so she forcefully defended herself and said:
"I'm just wondering why there is a pillar in the middle of the pool. Don't you think it's very awkward?"
Qiu Changtian followed her gaze, and sure enough he saw a low pillar in the center of the Yaochi, rising out of the water. There was a groove on the top of the pillar, with a mirror placed on it.
"That's the Yaochi Mirror Stand." Kunlun Mirror said quietly, "I was in the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West, and placed it on the Yaochi Mirror Stand, silently reflecting on all living beings, regardless of the cold or heat of the years."
"Really?" Qiu Changtian looked at the mirror on the mirror table.
As his eyes fell on the mirror, the mirror seemed to flash an undetectable strange light.
