Chapter 107 [Fruit Core]

 When everyone saw that the old god, grandfather and grandson had gone back to the house, they all stood up.

Zhuangtou Liu An came to the collapsed stone monument with a frown on his face, and suddenly realized that the ground where the stone monument originally stood seemed different from the ground next to it.

He saw that everyone was watching the man with the broken leg, so he squatted down quietly and stretched his hands on the ground, carefully cleaning out a small piece.

Taking advantage of the last light of the setting sun, I saw that under the base of the stone monument, there were long strips of bluestone.

The stewards and servants who were originally standing in the outer circle also came over at this time. The three of them looked at each other. One of the stewards asked Zhuangtou to check Zhuang Zhi first.

Liu An hurried back to the house to find Zhuang Zhi, while the two people from the mansion dispersed all the villagers, leaving only a few craftsmen standing guard outside. No one was allowed to approach the collapsed stele pavilion.

Liu An took out Zhuang Zhi, and when he flipped through it, it only recorded that Emperor Longtai of the previous dynasty came here on a tour, got drunk and composed poems and erected this imperial stele pavilion. Later, a team of captains and soldiers were stationed to guard the stele pavilion, and they also cultivated wasteland and farmed here.

The only prototype of Zhuangzi.

After the change of dynasty, the garrisoned officers and soldiers had already dispersed, and the place was awarded to the Marquis of Jing'an, the ancestor of the Qian family.

These are Zhuang Zhi's written records, and there is no more detailed historical description.

"Tell me, is there the treasure of the former Emperor Longtai buried underneath?"

The steward whispered to another boy.

The two people originally looked like each other, but after looking at each other, they reached a tacit understanding in an instant. They nodded to each other and pulled Liu An over. After the three of them gathered in a circle and summed it up in a low voice, several craftsmen also came together.

He was sent away, and all the villagers were strictly ordered not to approach the Yubei Pavilion again.

……

When the sky turned completely dark, Cheng Yu quietly flew back to Que Niang Temple from Qingluo Mountain. In the past two days, Que Niang led Erya to chase him. As soon as he saw Cheng Yu, she would chirp and urge him and Erya to step on the egg.

Son.

Cheng Yudu was determined to move to the Three Immortals Temple behind Zhuang.

……

At night, everything in Qingluo Village is quiet.

Zhuangtou Liu An estimated that it was already past midnight, so he quietly got off the kang and tiptoed from the backyard to the front yard. When he turned around and saw Qiu Luo sitting cross-legged on the ground at the door of the main house, he was startled.
Unexpectedly, this swordsman is still guarding the door at this moment. There is no need to sleep in this cold weather.

Looking at him again, he seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed. He didn't dare to make any unnecessary noise, so he quietly came to the side room and opened the door gently.

The steward and the boy in the house were not asleep either. The three of them carried hoes and hemp ropes together and quietly opened the courtyard door and went out.

After the courtyard door closed again, Qiu Luo at the door of the main room closed his slightly opened eyes.

After nearly half an hour, the three of them managed to move away two rocks, revealing a cave entrance that could accommodate one person.

"Let me see what's down here."

Facing the cold air coming from the entrance of the cave, Liu An carefully lit an oil lamp. Among them, the servant of the mansion was helping to look after him a little further away, and another steward was supporting him.

Liu An put an oil lamp in the palm of his hand into the hole, and felt as if his hand had been stretched into an ice cellar. The light was too dim and could not illuminate the entire bottom.

Liu An took out his hand, and the steward next to him took the oil lamp and stretched it down to shine a light on it. Then he shook his head and called the guard, and the three of them worked harder to move away the two rocks next to them.

The two people in the house had not done menial work for a long time, and they were already panting from exhaustion. Liu An was not a master who could take care of the crops.

The three of them spent a lot of effort, moving and resting for a while, before they moved the two rocks next to them. It seemed that it was already past the fourth watch.

At this time, the three of them no longer arranged for watchmen. They sat on the ground and took a cup of tea before approaching the big hole.

Three heads and six pairs of eyes gathered above the enlarged hole, staring closely at the small stone chamber below, which was no more than five feet square.

The oil lamp swept back and forth in the stone room, but saw nothing inside except a book that had weathered.

Liu An's head sank, and he put the hoe in, tapping the bottom paved with stone strips and the surrounding stone walls.

Cheng Yu, who was absorbing the moonlight at the Queniang Temple, suddenly slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the Royal Stele Pavilion.

Liu An saw that the surroundings were solidly built, and there was no sound of empty drums, but he still did not give up, and simply jumped directly into the room half full of people, trampling the already weathered books into scum.
p>

"Bah! Bah!"

Liu An secretly spit out some of the scum that floated into his mouth, then knelt down in the stone chamber and began to explore carefully.

And Jia Fei, who was at the Que Niang Temple, suddenly felt something in her heart, and a burst of energy came faintly from the direction of the Royal Stele Pavilion.

She turned her head and glanced at the little sparrow beside her. The sparrow nodded at it, flew into the ancestral hall, landed on the beam, summoned the soul, and then headed towards the Royal Stele Pavilion with the cat demon.

When they arrived, they saw Liu An pouting and holding an oil lamp while he was groping. After a while, he climbed up with a sigh.

The steward and the boy who didn't believe in evil also went down one after another. Even the weathered scroll was completely smashed and touched, and they all crawled out cursing after a while.

Seeing that the sky is about to get bright at this time, I am exhausted after working all night. Even if there is something under the stone room, I have to talk about it tomorrow.

As a result, the three of them no longer cared about the opened stone chamber, dragged their hoes back to the house without saying a word, fell asleep with their clothes on.

Jia Fei lightly jumped down from a nearby roof, followed his energy and jumped into the small stone room. He stretched out his hand to explore the bottom and saw that it was a huge stone slab.

"Just down there."

She raised her head and said to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu immediately released his consciousness, causing streams of underground water to gather under the stone slab. He did feel that there seemed to be something like a fruit core under the stone slab, and he had a vague sense of restraint against him. The aura was somewhat similar to that of a cat demon.
But apart from that, there is nothing else special about it.

Jia Fei jumped up in a hurry, and then the entire huge stone slab was arched from the side, and the entire stone chamber was overturned.

A ball of clear water surged up from the soil, carrying a black and yellow fruit core to the ground.

The water receded automatically, and the two of them came to the core and squatted down to observe it carefully.

It was this thing that was sending waves of familiar energy to her.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

But she didn't dare to reach out and take it directly, because she vaguely sensed that there was something strange inside the core, and there seemed to be another breath.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then called out the small shovel from the treasure bag.

At first, the little shovel clung to Old Mrs. Bai's demon pill and refused to leave. It was still trembling slightly when Jia Fei forcibly pulled it out of the bag.

When she stretched the shovel toward the core, the shovel gradually became quiet, but the core below began to become restless.

The originally mottled black and yellow surface gradually began to glow cyan.

At the same time, the blue light also appeared in the cat demon's eyes.

"Get it out of here."

Seeing that the series of mutations were about to happen again, Cheng Yu hurriedly said to Jia Fei.

This place is located at the core of Zhuangzi, and not far from there live Que Lao Niang, Hei Tan Tou and the others.

He immediately used a small water trick to draw another handful of water from the ground, and at the same time used his mind to summon You'er.

I saw a snowflake mark on my right forehead flicker, and a handful of water instantly condensed into an ice bowl.

Jia Fei took a step back, tilted the ice bowl, scooped up the green fruit core, and followed Cheng Yu to float to Qingluo Mountain behind the village.

In the night sky, a small translucent ice bowl glowing with blue light flew quickly towards Qingluo Mountain. After Jia Fei took a greedy look, he put away his golden blade shovel, jumped up to the roof and chased after it.
p>

After she had gone away, a young man in black appeared from the corner of the courtyard wall, staring at the back of the woman in green shirt, and murmured to himself:

"Sparrow Fairy..."

Then he frowned and thought of the water-hungry sword that died in infancy...

The old man lay on the comfortable heated kang, smacked his lips, turned over and continued to snore.

The sheathed Spirit Tribulation Sword beside him, the glimmer of green light that spilled from the sheath gradually dimmed.

……

"Cuckoo!"

A falcon demon also sensed something, flew out of the Yanxi Cave, and flew towards the green light ice bowl.

Like Qiu Luo, he didn't have the clairvoyance of Jia Fei, so he couldn't see the ensuing spiritual state of Cheng Yu, but he just felt that the smell of this strange ice bowl was somewhat familiar.

"Boom, boom!"

There was a burst of thunder from the sky, and the Falcon Demon immediately trembled and turned back, instantly getting back into the cave.

But when the orange cat demon in a green shirt at the foot of the mountain heard this, his eyes shone brightly.

Where is Lei?

……

Halfway up the mountain, Cheng Yu placed the ice bowl on a small piece of flat ground.

The ice bowl automatically melts into water and instantly flows to the surface. There is not a drop of water on the fruit core.

At this moment, the green light on the surface of the fruit core had just dimmed when the cat demon came over and took out the golden blade shovel again.

The fruit core then emitted green light again and trembled violently.

Jia Fei endured the discomfort of being restrained by the shovel and gently scooped up the core.

The core stood on the shovel, and while it was shining with green light, it began to peel off the shell layer by layer like an onion.

Each layer of shed shell is instantly annihilated when it falls on the surface of the shovel.

But the strange thing is that every time a layer of fruit shell is peeled off, the size of the fruit core actually enlarges.

As the shells peeled off layer by layer, a strange fragrance that Cheng Yu was very familiar with gradually overflowed from the core.

After a total of nine layers of shells have been shed, the core can no longer be called a core and is now about the size of an orange.

Moreover, the light emitted gradually changed from cold dark blue to warm yellow-green.

Until the last layer of the shell peels off completely, you can finally see the true face of Mount Lu inside.
