Chapter 1514 The source of the Yin River (for December 2000
4 more updates!)
After Liang Yan put away the magic weapon, he turned his eyes and looked at the passage in the distance.
"It seems that this trial journey is not over yet and we don't know what is waiting for us at the end of the underground palace."
"No matter what it is, it must be related to the survival of Langhuan Continent, otherwise Tiangong City would not have mobilized so many troops, and Zilan would not have gone deep alone." Wu Xin said slowly.
"Um."
Liang Yan nodded, his expression no longer hesitant.
"let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Yan took the lead and walked deeper into the passage.
Wu Xin followed closely, and Wei Long, as the elder of Shennong Mountain, had no choice but to go inside in order to stop Zi Lan.
The three of them walked along the narrow passage for about half a stick of incense. The passage ahead had reached the end, and a cave entrance half as tall as a person appeared in front of them.
Outside the cave entrance, the faint sound of gurgling water can be heard.
At the same time, a biting chill surged in from outside the cave.
"careful!"
In fact, Liang Yan didn't need to remind them, everyone was very vigilant, and they unanimously used the body-protecting spiritual light and walked slowly towards the entrance of the cave.
Liang Yan was the first to jump out of the hole in the passage.
What I saw outside was a huge underground cave with a wide river in the middle of the cave.
The river divides the entire underground space into two halves. The half close to Liang Yan has dozens of passage entrances. On the other side of the river, it is pitch black. It is difficult for spiritual consciousness to spread, and only about three miles can be seen.
Behind him, Wu Xin and Wei Long also got out of the passage.
“It’s so cold!”
This is everyone's first feeling.
The biting chill almost froze the blood in his veins, and even the movement of his spiritual power slowed down.
"This chill."
Wu Xin's face was slightly surprised, because she was not unfamiliar with the cold. In order to get rid of the Vajra power in her body, Shen Nong Hu once took her to the Yin River underground. The cold here was almost exactly the same as that time.
If there is any difference, it is that the cold here is more domineering, ten times more than that day!
"It seems that we have reached the source of the Yin River underground."
Liang Yan's voice came from the front, attracting Wu Xin's attention.
Looking forward along his gaze, he saw an ice jade bed floating in the calm river. All the cold air around him was emanating from this jade bed.
"It turns out that the source of the so-called underground Yin River is actually a white jade bed!"
Unintentionally, her eyes fell on the middle of the river, and she discovered that the water in the Yin River was nothing special, but as soon as it passed this white jade bed, it immediately became extremely cold.
"This is a good treasure. It is no less powerful than the previous 'Purple Myrtle Star Magic Plate'. How about we collect it too?" Wu Xin looked at the jade bed in the glacier and said secretly.
After hearing this, Liang Yan reached out to stop Wu Xin who was about to try, and shook his head slightly.
The next moment, he made a secret with one hand, flicked his fingers, and a green sword energy shot out, heading straight for the white jade bed.
brush!
The sword energy broke through the air, and it was extremely fast at the beginning, but after only flying about thirty feet, the speed suddenly slowed down.
The next journey is actually extremely long for this sword energy.
The closer it got to the ice jade bed, the slower it became. Finally, it was stopped in mid-air and became a floating ice sculpture.
Seeing this scene, the other two people took a deep breath.
How overbearing is the ice power of this white jade bed? Even the sword energy can be frozen, and this sword energy did not even come close to the white jade bed, and was frozen hundreds of feet away!
If a flesh and blood body had reached this position, it would be unimaginable to end up with it.
"The Purple Myrtle Star Demonic Plate proactively recognizes its owner, otherwise I would not be able to collect it. The grade of this white jade bed may be higher than the Purple Myrtle Star Demonic Plate. If we approach rashly, we are afraid of death." Liang Yan looked serious.
said.
After hearing what he said, Wu Xin could only sigh in despair and gave up the plan of collecting the white jade bed.
"I remember Shennong Hu once said that this underground Yin River was opened by the second-generation mountain owner of Shennong Mountain. If he didn't lie to us, this white jade bed should be left by Shennong Tu's descendants and does not belong to
Part of the underground palace inheritance." Liang Yan speculated again.
"Then why did he put the white jade bed here?" Wu Xin looked confused.
"There is no way of knowing. After all, this happened thousands of years ago. Perhaps only Shennong Tuo and his son know. What we want to think about now is how to cross this underground river."
Liang Yan said, taking another look around, and found that the Yin River divided the entire cave into two halves, and above the Yin River, the icy cold air was extremely strong, with no weak spots at all.
After pondering for a moment, Liang Yan slowly said: "With our strength, if we cross this underground Yin River, the protective aura can only last for about ten breaths at most. After ten breaths, we must stop adjusting our breath."
"Ten breaths?"
Wuxin looked at the calm river in front of him and shook his head slightly: "It's too short! Once we reach the sky above the river, our escape speed will be greatly reduced, and ten breaths of time is far from enough."
"indeed so."
Liang Yan looked thoughtful, and after a moment, his eyes fell on the river.
There, there were many floating lotus leaves scattered in disorder across the river.
"Since this white jade bed was left by the second generation of Shennong, it should not be part of the trial and assessment of the underground palace. If my guess is correct, these lotus leaves are the steps leading to the other side of the river."
After Wu Xin listened, he instantly understood what he meant.
"Are you saying that the second generation of Shen Nong left the white jade bed here not to make things difficult for those who came after him? He left these lotus leaves to make it easier for those who came after him to cross the river?"
"good."
Liang Yan pointed to the nearest lotus leaf and spoke again: "You see, due to the air of ice, the entire Yin River is like a pool of stagnant water, and the ancient well has no ripples. But near the lotus leaf, the river water is slowing down.
The slow flow shows that the lotus leaf itself is a pure Yang treasure. Although it cannot resist the white jade bed, it can at least drive away part of the cold air within a square inch."
"That makes sense!"
After Liang Yan's reminder, Wei Long also noticed that the water flow near the lotus leaf was strange and immediately expressed his agreement.
"The distance between each lotus leaf on the river is not too long. With our level, it only takes about three breaths to reach the next lotus leaf. After adjusting the breath for a while, we can move on.
"Liang Yan spoke again.
"That's right. We can't rush across the river. As long as we step across the lotus leaves one by one, I believe we can reach the other side of the river safely." Wu Xin said with a slight smile.
"Let's go, I'll try it first, and if it works, you can follow."
Liang Yan did not hesitate at all, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and displayed the "Empty Phase of All Dharmas", and the body-protecting golden light enveloped his whole body.
The next moment, he transformed into an escape light and flew straight to the nearest lotus leaf.
Due to the powerful ice energy above the Yin River, the escape speed of Escape from Light was greatly slowed down. With Liang Yan's cultivation in the Tribulation Stage, although he could barely move forward, his speed was comparable to that of a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
After three breaths, Liang Yan stepped on the lotus leaf with both feet, exactly as he had calculated before.
As soon as he settled down, he immediately activated the spiritual power in his body and poured it into his feet to prevent the cold air from intruding into his body.
However, Liang Yan soon felt that there was no cold air above the lotus leaves, as if a natural barrier blocked all the cold air in the Yin River under the lotus leaves.
"As expected!"
Liang Yan's face was filled with joy. He turned back to look at the two of them and said with a smile: "This lotus leaf is indeed a step leading to the other side. Our previous calculation was correct."
Wu Xin and Wei Long also looked happy after hearing this.
Without any hesitation, the two of them each picked a lotus leaf, activated their body-protecting spiritual light, performed escape techniques, and quickly jumped on.
The distance between each lotus leaf is about the same. Like Liang Yan, it only took the two of them about three breaths to settle on their respective lotus leaves.
After settling down, the three of them did not continue talking. Instead, they each used the spiritual power in their bodies and began to adjust their breath.
A moment passed, and the three of them finished adjusting their breaths, activated the body-protecting aura again, and jumped to the next lotus leaf.
In this way, the three of them stepped on the lotus leaves and walked slowly towards the other side of the river. In less than a quarter of an hour, they had arrived at the center of the river.
Just as everyone was crossing the river cautiously, there was a slight fluctuation of breath behind them.
Liang Yan was the first to react and without looking back, he struck out with a sword in his backhand and reminded loudly:
"careful!"
After receiving his reminder, Wu Xin and Wei Long also reacted.
The two of them stood still on their respective lotus leaves, activated the body-protecting spiritual light, turned around and struck out with their palms. The true demonic energy and the power of Houtu burst out at the same time, hitting the target behind them.
However, the aura behind him was extremely fast, and he did not choose to fight head-on with the three people's magical powers. Instead, he changed his direction and rushed towards the three people's feet.
"not good!"
Liang Yan felt a chill in his heart and looked down, only to see a black demonic flower. At this time, it had avoided the light of his sword and landed on the lotus leaf at his feet.
The originally emerald green lotus leaves gradually turned as black as ink, and began to rot in just a few breaths.
Seeing this scene, he didn't care about adjusting his breath, activated his spiritual power again, forcibly displayed the body-protecting spiritual light, and jumped to another lotus leaf nearby.
At this moment, another ray of black light came, trying to get ahead of him and land on the lotus leaf first.
"Still want to do the same thing again?"
Liang Yan sneered. This time he was well prepared. He spotted Wu Guang's position, raised his hand and slashed out with a sword light.
The Mayfly Sword Pill turned into a green rainbow, accurately intercepting the black light in mid-air. The Mayfly Sword Qi criss-crossed and quickly chopped the black demon flower inside to pieces.
Looking behind him again, a ray of light came flying towards him, stepped over several lotus leaves one after another, and soon came behind everyone.
Seeing the poison contained in the black demon flower, you don't have to guess who is coming.
"Zi Lan!"
The eyes of Liang Yan, Wu Xin, and Wei Long swept over at the same time and fell on a coquettish woman.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect you guys to be faster than me!" Zi Lan showed no sign of weakness when facing the three of them, still smiling.
"Humph, you witch! You think that a mere seal of poisonous mist can stop us? Don't you know that my Shennong Mountain skills are the nemesis of your 'Poison Saint Sect'!" The moment he saw Zi Lan, Wei Long immediately became angry.
Swelling up, eyes wide open with anger.
"Nemesis?" Zi Lan smiled slightly, with a look of disdain on his face: "Water defeats fire, and fire also defeats water. Since ancient times, what has been compared is the strength of means. How can there be any reason to defeat each other? If you are not convinced, we can
Let's have a fight. If you beat me, I will admit that Shennong Tuo is stronger than my master. If I win, then it means that Shennong Tuo has a false appearance and is not even worthy of carrying my master's shoes!"
"You fart!" Wei Long's face turned red and he yelled angrily: "Bei Mingweng and the Patriarch Shennong fought several times, and each time they didn't run away with a disastrous defeat? If the Patriarch hadn't been scrupulous, Bei Mingweng would have passed away long ago. He saw
Seeing our ancestor is like a mouse seeing a cat, it is too late to run away, how dare you say such big words?"
"hehe."
After hearing this, Zi Lan was not angry at all, but said with a smile: "No one knows what happened back then, how dare you say that the records of Shennong Mountain are true? Anyway, I only know one thing, Shennong Tuo is dead.
Yes, and our ancestor of the Poison Saint Sect is still alive in the world, if you have the ability, you can call Shen Nong Tuo out of the grave and have a showdown with my master?"
"you!"
Wei Long almost spat out a mouthful of old blood in anger.
He has lived in Shennong Mountain for a long time. He is a humble person and rarely argues with others. Facing the sharp-tongued Zi Lan, he is no match at all.
But when he heard the other party insulting his ancestor, his blood still surged. He pinched the magic formula in his hand and wanted to go up and fight the witch.
At this moment, Liang Yan's voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
"Elder Wei, please be patient. This woman intends to provoke you, just to make you get into trouble. The most important thing now is to stop Tiangong City's conspiracy. There is no need to have a verbal dispute with this witch."
Hearing Liang Yan's voice, Wei Long gradually woke up.
He was not a fool, it was just about the reputation of the Patriarch. He was a little excited just now, but after Liang Yan reminded him, he quickly calmed down.
"This demon girl used the 'Poison Fly' when she fought with us before. This poisonous power had a very serious backlash. She was already at the end of her strength when she escaped. Now that the three of us join forces, I believe we can kill her without any effort."
Here!" Wei Long said to Liang Yan and Wu Xin at the same time.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xin's voice came over: "Elder Wei, don't be careless. Now and then, Zi Lan is a little different from just now."
"Um?"
After hearing this, Wei Long frowned slightly, and then looked at Liang Yan in the distance, his face also solemn.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, do you think so too?" Wei Long said secretly.
Liang Yan did not answer Wei Long, but stared in Zi Lan's direction.
The next moment, without any warning, an invisible sword light appeared behind Zi Lan's head. At the same time, the surrounding void cracked, and four demons summoned by Wuxin also appeared at the same time, and they all pounced on Zi Lan on the lotus leaf.
