Chapter 253 The great change in welcoming the emperor!
What was displayed in front of Xu Qing was a huge blue lake. The water looked very clear, but if you look closely, you can see that the water here is frozen.
There are some colorful vegetation growing around it, which is very messy. Even the top of the cave where the lake is located is covered with moss.
There is a sense of humidity that is very strong here.
Xu Qing glanced around. No matter whether it was the previous inspection of the shadow eye or his perception at this moment, no danger was detected here. However, Xu Qing was still wary and walked carefully towards the lake. When he got closer, he looked at the bottom of the lake.
Under the clear frozen lake water, the bottom of the lake was clearly visible. After one glance, Xu Qing fell silent.
The bottom of the lake is covered with countless bones and gravel.
Judging from the skeletons, there are men and women, and they are densely covered everywhere you look, as if this place has experienced human tragedy a few years ago.
"I found this place accidentally. I have been here many times and have not encountered any danger. The skeletons at the bottom of the lake have not had any strange changes." Wu Jianwu stood aside and glanced at him. He was afraid that Xu Qing would misunderstand his good intentions, so he hurriedly
explain.
Xu Qing nodded. After careful observation, he found that there were some differences between the quality of the frozen water here and the fairy jelly recorded in Master Bai's pharmacopoeia.
More aroma.
Especially next to this lake, the aroma from the lake envelopes the entire area. It fills the mouth and nose with sweetness. It's okay at first, but after a long time, it will make you feel extremely sick.
This is inconsistent with the description of Xianjiang.
But Xu Qing guessed that before experiencing drastic changes, this place was most likely a pool filled with fairy energy a few years ago.
The lake water here was probably transformed by the immortal energy mentioned in the pharmacopoeia, but it later underwent unfathomable changes, so the resulting object looks like immortal jelly, but it is also different.
It's a kind of mutated fairy jelly.
Xu Qing doesn't know the specific function yet, but he feels that this substance should have considerable research value.
So he looked back and was about to take some more.
But at this moment, Xu Qing suddenly let out a soft sigh and looked carefully at the bottom of the lake.
The life fire in the body burned at this moment, and all the cultivation levels exploded, forming a sea of fire storm.
Wu Jianwu on the side opened his eyes wide, and was swept away by Xu Qing's momentum, but he didn't know what happened.
"What's going on!"
As soon as Wu Jianwu opened his mouth, Xu Qing gathered the power of life fire into his eyes, making his eyes seem to surpass the stars at this moment, emitting a bright light, staring at a location at the bottom of the lake.
There, among the bones and a large amount of rubble, there was a large stone that gave Xu Qing a sense of familiarity.
"What are you looking at? Is there anything good in here? It's a pity that the lake is so weird that I don't dare to go down there. I tried to find a way to fish out the bones inside, but I couldn't..." Wu Jianwu noticed Xu Qing's
Look, speak quickly.
But before he could finish his words, where Xu Qing was staring, the stone that seemed familiar to him suddenly moved, as if being grabbed by an invisible big hand, and pulled outwards, slowly moving through the lake until it was dragged
came out and floated in front of Xu Qing.
Seeing this scene, Wu Jianwu took a breath.
Xu Qing raised his head and observed the big stone carefully. After a while, he found a familiar reason.
That was the breath of Tai Cang Yida.
This stone clearly contains the charm of Tai Cang Yi Dao.
This made Xu Qing very strange and put it away.
The shadow also returned silently. It was the shadow that had just taken out the big stone.
At the same time, as the big stone was taken out, the broken stone tablet that was originally hidden underneath was exposed where it was before.
As the surrounding lake water slowly fluctuated, the mud on the stone tablet dispersed toward the edge, revealing some writing and patterns on it.
Xu Qing looked immediately.
"Ziqing Shangguo washes the fairy pond?" Wu Jiansha on the side also noticed it, saw the handwriting clearly, and exclaimed.
Xu Qing was also surprised. After careful inspection, he noticed that the pattern on the stone tablet seemed to be a map of Nanhuang Continent.
It is marked with the location of the imperial capital of the Ziqing Shangguo, which is today's Zitu. It also has the mark of the Immortal Washing Pond, and there is a mark next to it that says Prince's Mansion.
Judging from its location, it is exactly where the ruins of Taicang Taoist Temple Xu Qing wanted to go.
Xu Qing stared at the lake, and the origin of this place became clear. At the same time, the name Ziqing Shangguo also appeared in Xu Qing's memory again.
The first time he heard about the Ziqing Shangguo was when Chen Feiyuan told him about the eight major families in Zitu, the former capital of the Ziqing Kingdom.
Only then did he know that a long, long time ago, there existed such a country with strange blood in Nanhuang Continent.
"Can coexist with magic weapon..."
Xu Qing thought of the feeling Chen Feiyuan made him feel at that time, obviously weak, but also very strong.
After a long time, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and took out some more of the mutated immortal jelly here. Without stopping, he turned around and left the place where the lake was.
Back to the outside world.
Outside the entrance to the crack in the mountain, Wu Jianwu came all the way here. At this moment, he folded his hands and looked at Xu Qing eagerly, but hesitated to speak.
"I won't tell anyone else, just don't worry." Xu Qing gave Wu Jianwu a meaningful look, swayed his body, and turned into a rainbow and went away.
Wu Jianwu was left alone, standing there with a melancholy look on his face, worried about gains and losses.
After a long while, Wu Jianwu gritted his teeth.
"I can't control that much. Although Xu Qing is domineering, he should be a person who keeps his promises. The big deal... I won't return to the sect for a short time. I will never give up until I raise my precious son!"
Wu Jianwu was obviously stimulated by Sheng Yunzi's suppression of Yifeng. At this moment, his eyes were red, and he turned around and returned to his grotto, continuing to take care of those ferocious beasts with big bellies.
It was getting late now, the moon was shining brightly in the sky, the phoenix was under the moonlight, and the trees seemed to have turned into ghosts. While they looked extremely ferocious, there were bursts of strange screams and beastly roars in the surrounding areas, which occasionally echoed.
Xu Qing's figure shuttled through the dark jungle, his body undulating and jumping at a very fast speed.
He had no intention of telling anyone about Wu Jianwu.
In this troubled world, everyone has their own way of living. Although the other party has some quirks, he doesn't target him, and even leads him to find Xian Dong, so Xu Qing doesn't bother to pay attention to it.
He just felt that the world is so vast and full of wonders.
"But it's also possible that Wu Jianwu has another purpose hidden in this matter." Xu Qing shook his head, retracted his thoughts, and found a tree hole in the night. He checked nearby and set up a protective formation.
Just got in.
After preparing to stay overnight, Xu Qing also took out the fairy jelly he had obtained.
At this moment, some time has passed, so the fairy jelly is obviously less than half, which reminds Xu Qing that Wu Jianwu said that this thing will disappear after more than an hour.
So he thought about it and took out a vial, opened it and waved his hand, and suddenly the little black bugs inside flew out and landed on the fairy jelly, and began to eat it.
Xu Qing observed carefully, but after waiting for a while until the little black bugs finished eating the fairy jelly, there was no reaction or change. So Xu Qing thought about it and simply let this batch of little black bugs eat all the fairy jelly he had taken.
Swallowed by the cold.
Soon the fairy jelly disappeared. Xu Qing observed it for a long time, and finally put the small black insects back into the bottle, marked the bottle and stored it separately.
He planned to wait for a while to let them digest the fairy jelly before checking to see if there was any difference.
After doing this, Xu Qing took out the stone with the charm of Tai Cang's sword that he obtained in Xixian Pond, held it in his hand to study, and felt the charm inside, and gradually it seemed as if there was a shadow of a knife crossing his eyes.
This shocked Xu Qing, who closed his eyes to experience it.
Just like that, the night passed.
The next morning, when Xu Qing opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to look down at the stone in his hand.
"This thing will allow me to strike at Tai Cang and gain a deeper understanding." Xu Qing felt that he had gained a lot, and then checked the little black insects that had swallowed up the immortal jelly.
Xu Qing carefully observed these little black insects that had devoured the fairy jelly last night and found that they seemed to be drunk. They were motionless and not very active.
But there seemed to be some subtle changes in the atmosphere.
This made Xu Qing interested, but now they were not active, and Xu Qing couldn't see the details, so he didn't bother them. After putting them back, he kept the location of the lake in his mind, and then left the tree.
hole, galloping towards the distance.
He planned to go to the ruins of Taicang Taoist Temple to see if he could have a chance to comprehend Taicang's second sword. If not, he planned to study the stone all year round to gain insights.
"The edge of this stone is sharp, like a blade. It must be related to Taicang Taoist Temple. It is most likely a part of a certain god statue!" Xu Qing analyzed in his heart.
Time passed and ten days passed.
Xu Qing has been on the road for the past ten days, occasionally harvesting some poisonous weeds and poisons. At the same time, he paid attention to the batch of small black insects that drank the fairy jelly many times, but they were still sleeping.
"So long?" Xu Qing was a little surprised. If he hadn't been able to sense that the other party was still alive, he would have thought he was dead.
"Wait and see." Xu Qing muttered, looking up into the distance.
In front of him, downhill in the distance, there was an ancient city that had turned into ruins, as if it had been silent forever over the years.
It was noon that day, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky, but the leaves shone through the jungle and fell around Xu Qing, but they turned into mottled leaves.
Looking at the ancient city through this mottled light, the meaning of the vicissitudes of time arises spontaneously.
At the same time, at this location, you can also see a tall and magnificent temple in the center of the ruined city.
From a distance, you can only vaguely see the outline, which is not very clear, but the antiquity and mystery are still mixed in the time that this city has witnessed.
"We're here." Xu Qing jumped forward and approached the ruins.
And just after his figure stepped into the ruins, half a stick of incense was left.
Very far away from here, on the Wanggu Continent across the Forbidden Sea, an earth-shattering event occurred that caused all the forces in Yinghuang Province to feel extremely shaken.
The Lingyun Sword Sect in the Seven Sects Alliance, the forbidden magic weapon in its sect, has been used again today after nearly two hundred years!
It seems that the Seven Blood Pupils and the entire sect are going to be destroyed!
The reason is that seven days ago, the Seven Sect Alliance issued another order and decree to Qixuetong, but Xue Lianzi still delayed.
Until one day ago, the Senate of the Supreme Meeting of the Seven Sect Alliance unified the decision and sent a special envoy to inform Qixuetong.
The content of the decision is to let Xue Lianzi and the seven peak masters return to the alliance within one day to make amends. If they do not come, the Seven Blood Pupils will be destroyed, and the one-shot disciple will not stop until death!
At the same time, all foreign clans and sects in Qixuetong are told to leave within three days. If they do not leave, if Qixuetong continues to insist on their own way after three days, heaven's punishment will come, and the remaining members of each clan will bear the consequences.
This incident caused a sensation in all directions. A large number of foreigners who visited Qixuetong evacuated one after another, and people from the Seven Sects Alliance also left in large numbers. The entire Qixuetong was in turmoil, and people were in panic.
One day later, Xue Lianzi still did not give a reply, so... the Seven Sect Alliance was furious, and the Lingyun Sword Sect's forbidden magic weapon exploded instantly.
It turned into a monstrous bloody light, soared into the sky from the Seven Sects Alliance, formed a bloody seed in mid-air, and headed straight to... the north!
Not the Seven Blood Pupils in the south, but in the north!
In Yinghuang Prefecture, there is a mountain and a river that cross each other and connect the east, west, north, and south of Yinghuang Prefecture. The mountain is Taisi Due Mountain, and the river is Yunxian Eternal River.
Taisitue Mountain connects the north and south, and the Yunxian Eternal River connects the west and east. The place where they intersect belongs to the center of Yinghuang Prefecture, where there is a sect.
This sect is called Shaosi Sect and is not directly related to Taisi Xianmen, but any major force knows that Shaosi Sect is the minion supported by Taisi Xianmen to curb the alliance of the seven sects.
Therefore, a dam was built where the sect was located, blocking a tributary of the Yunxian Eternal River that should have flowed along the mountain road to the outlet of the Seven Sects Alliance.
The tributaries were cut off, and the overall spiritual energy and heterogeneous cleansing level of the Seven Sects Alliance were greatly affected.
For the Seven Sects Alliance, the young Sizong was like a thorn in their throats. They had repeatedly asked to remove the dam, but Taisi Xianmen intervened and put forward harsh conditions.
If the Alliance of Seven Sects wants to take action against Shao Si Zong, unless the battle can be ended instantly, it will be stopped. At the same time, under the checks and balances of all parties, if the taboo is opened for no reason, all parties will be suspicious.
At the same time, several other forces are also happy to see the human race fighting within themselves, adding fuel to the flames, making the situation of the Seven Sects Alliance even more miserable.
At this moment, the bloody seeds of the forbidden magic weapon erupted from Lingyun Sword Sect, and its direction... was none other than Young Sizong!
The speed was so fast that in an instant the blood-colored seeds traveled through the endless range and fell into Shao Si Zong.
The alliance of seven sects, this is the plank road built openly and secretly to Chencang.
Their conflict with Qixuetong seems to be loud and fierce, but in fact all this is smoke, just to open the taboo in a reasonable way, just to find an opportunity to pull out the fish bones from the throat!
Now, as the blood-colored seeds fell, a strange blood tree rose from the ground inside the Shaosi Zong, towering into the sky.
As soon as the tree shook, most of the monks in the Shaosi Sect collapsed and died on the spot. Their blood was swept into the tree. The rest were also severely injured, and blood spurted out in shock.
Shake again, the sect roared, the sky collapsed, the earth shattered, buildings collapsed instantly, and the dam exploded and fell into pieces.
Without the obstruction of the dam, the raging Yunxian River directly covered and flowed along the Taisidu'e Mountain Road.
At the time of the Three Waves, the blood tree bloomed, and the sound of vicissitudes of life could be heard from inside.
"Shaosi Zong killed my alliance disciple, the evidence is conclusive, destroy Shaosi's entire sect!"
The sky was full of blood, forming a formation, and hundreds of figures appeared within it. Each one had an astonishing aura and violent murderous intent, and they fell one after another!
This is all too fast.
In order to deter the Seven Blood Pupils, a total of three sects in the Alliance of Seven Sects activated the forbidden magic weapons. Although only the Lingyun Sword Sect was using it at this moment, the other six sects all activated the forbidden magic weapons at the same time. In an instant, the entire Seven Sects Alliance activated the forbidden magic weapons.
