Chapter 230 Mutation, Takeaway
Letter?
Xie Yuan frowned subconsciously. Where did the letter come from and put it on his desk?
If there is a letter from outsiders, a handyman should collect it for you and hand it over when you come back instead of coming in privately and putting it in the house.
The handyman here will not enter the house without permission, let alone when Xie Yuan is not around.
He felt something was wrong, so he slowly walked to the desk and checked it first.
The letter looked normal, and there were no signs of anything else in the room being tampered with.
Xie Yuan pondered for a moment, picked up the letter, opened it and saw that there was only one sentence in it.
"Be careful on your trip to see the true lake."
He raised his eyebrows, subconsciously looked around the room again, and then looked at the letter again.
Be careful?
Xie Yuan fell into deep thought.
There is no doubt that you need to be careful when exploring ancient ruins, no matter how stable and mature they are.
Especially Qin Zhenyang has made it very clear about the dangers of Jianzhen Lake. It is by no means a good place to relax and practice at will.
This mysterious letter, placed on my desk, must not be to remind me of this.
So, what should you be careful about?
Others?
The Yao family that controls Jianzhen Lake?
Or maybe there are other unknown dangers in Jianzhen Lake itself?
Xie Yuan frowned slightly, unsure.
This person wants to remind you, but he doesn’t want to explain it clearly. He is like a riddle man...
It can’t be Huijue, right?
Xie Yuan instantly thought of this Prajna Temple monk who seemed to like pranks but had a hint of mystery inside.
But not quite. He and Huijue have known each other for a long time. Although Huijue's thoughts are unpredictable, his teasing is not boring and deliberate.
If you haven’t met him yet, it’s almost enough for him to come here.
So, who is this letter from?
Xie Yuan looked at the standard block letters and ordinary letter paper and could not identify any features. It was obvious that the person who sent the letter did not want his identity to be known.
He walked out of the room and called a handyman:
"Who has entered my room in the past two days?"
"Go back to Senior Brother Zhang, there is no one. Don't In order not to disturb the residents' practice and not to peek into the privacy of the residents, the hospital will only enter the room to clean up when called by the guests. No one will enter without your permission. ”
The handyman explained in a panic, as if he was worried that Xie Yuan had lost something.
Xie Yuan nodded and asked casually:
"Has there been any letter sent to me in the past two days?"
"This...I'll ask "
After a while, the handyman came back and shook his head:
"Senior Brother Zhang, there is no letter from you, and no guest has come to see you."
Xie Yuan nodded slowly:
"Thank you for your hard work."
He thought for a moment , directly picked up the letter and went to Qin Zhenyang.
“Be careful on your trip to see the real lake?”
In Qin Zhenyang's room, Senior Brother Jianzong frowned as he looked at this letter with no beginning or end.
Xie Yuan had no intention of hiding this letter himself.
Qin Zhenyang is a great supporter of this expedition to the ruins.
I don’t know who sent it, so I must show it to my companions first. Isn't it because he is hiding it for no reason and is cheating himself and his teammates?
“Any clues?”
Qin Zhenyang asked.
Xie Yuan shook his head:
“I just don’t know.”
“Your two friends...should not send such a letter.”
Qin Zhenyang himself denied the guess, and then said slowly:
"However, when sending a reminder, it should be a friend, not an enemy. Maybe this person knows something, but it is not convenient to say it clearly, so he reminds me."
Xie Yuan nodded and said:
"I guess so, too. Therefore, please refer to Senior Brother Qin for advice.”
Qin Zhenyang knew that Xie Yuan wanted to share information, God. Color Wen:
"Junior Brother Zhang, I have written this down. Since someone has reminded us that there may be twists and turns in this trip, let's be more careful. When the time comes, we will walk side by side when we enter the lake. There is no need to It is said that when you enter the lake within the lake, you will not change your position. We have a care within.”
Xie Yuan put the letter away and said,
"Yes, Senior Brother Qin."
Since Senior Brother Qin took it to heart, the danger was greatly reduced.
Qin Zhenyang is one of the top ten masters on the Qianlong Ranking. He is truly a genius just one step away from the master realm. He is also Li Xingtuo’s eldest disciple. He is almost destined to be the next leader of the Yunshan Sword Sect. The direct descendant of the main peak of Ju Yunshan Sword Sect. There is still a huge gap between Xie Yuan's current cultivation level and his.
Last year, Qin Zhenyang demonstrated his cultivation reaching the limit of the Three Transformations. Over the past year, he has devoted himself to cultivation, with the careful guidance and resource supply of the master teacher. Although he did not fight against anyone, his improvement in strength can be imagined. And know.
Everyone in the Sword Sect is speculating that maybe the senior brother's strength can be improved a few more places on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and he doesn't know when he will be able to break through and become a grand master!
Yunshan Sword Sect has been in the limelight this year and is regarded as a potential choice to become one of the top sects in the world. There are actually two reasons.
The first one is Li Xingtuo, who faced Wei Dong, the master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, with great strength. The battle was evenly matched and ranked sixth on the Flying Dragon Ranking.
In this ranking, many leaders of aristocratic families and top sects are below it, such as the Jinling Yao family. Although they are one of the Eight Great Families, the Yao family, whose vitality is severely damaged, cannot even find a grandmaster with strong strength on the Feilong List - it is not that they are not listed, there are many masters in the world who are not listed but have strength, but Yao Jiaming is indeed there is none left.
However, Li Xingtuo is still young and has the potential to greatly impact the realm of Grand Master.
Any great master can be regarded as a top force on his own, not to mention that the scale of Yunshan Sword Sect is not small.
If Li Xingtuo can make further progress, then this generation of Yunshan Sword Sect will be a well-deserved top sect.
As for the second one, it was Qin Zhenyang.
Last year, there was a sword debate between two sects. Not only the battle between the sect masters was widely publicized, but the battle between the chiefs also attracted people's attention.
Although Qin Zhenyang, who was ranked twenty-sixth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking at that time, was excellent, he was still far away from being among the top ten true geniuses.
However, after the first battle, Qin Zhenyang proved that although his reputation was not big enough, his strength had already squeezed into the top group of the younger generation of strong people. He could also stand on the forefront of the trend. Candidates who are qualified to compete for the title of strongest under the Grand Master.
Li Xingtuo is in his prime, and his successor is also so outstanding. In the foreseeable future, the Yunshan Sword Sect will have a good inheritance and a bright future. Therefore, many people have compared Yunshan Sword Sect with those four and eight sects, and the previous enthusiasm of the Yao family can also be seen.
Topping the Qianlong list can be recognized by people all over the world, and he is the true choice of genius.
Qin Zhenyang is so powerful that if he protects him in front of him, this trip will be much safer...
Xie Yuan nodded silently.
Besides Qin Zhenyang, Zhang Junyi was also traveling with him on this trip.
This hot-blooded Taoist priest is extremely powerful. I have already been a teammate with him and have a great experience. Moreover, he also has the trump card given by Master Yuxu, the second best person in the Tianlong Ranking. When the time comes, he can also unite this teammate.
Back in the room, Xie Yuan read the letter again. Several candidates came to his mind, but he was not sure.
He exhaled. A letter instantly cast a mysterious and dangerous color on this trip to the ruins, but there was no need to give up like this.
Xie Yuan is also a warrior who dares to face challenges head-on, and is fully prepared. If he is easily scared off, he may lose his spirit in his future practice.
Besides, the sender didn’t say he couldn’t go? If it was really that kind of irresistible danger, it shouldn't be reminded in this tone.
Ten days have passed.
Xie Yuan stayed at home and practiced behind closed doors in the Jinling Villa of Jianzong.
It has not been long since I came to Jinling, but I have experienced unprecedented fierce battles one after another.
The street battle against Hui Jue and the night battle against the Grandmaster, these two battles left a profound impression on Xie Yuan, and the rewards were huge.
Until these ten days had nothing to do, Xie Yuan could summarize these two battles from beginning to end, pick out the strengths and continue to develop them, and avoid repeating the shortcomings.
Hui Jue should be regarded as the best match for practitioners of the Qi and Blood Second Transformation Realm. Regardless of the skills, talents and inheritance, he is the best in the world, and his combat power is also the ceiling of this realm.
This is the first time that I have faced off against such a master. Before, I had always been the only one to bully others based on my skill level, but this time it was the other way around. Huijue's cultivation level was a bit higher than his own, but due to the gap between the immortal golden bell shield and his ordinary golden bell shield, his cultivation level was a bit different.
Xie Yuan reviewed the game many times and felt that his performance in this battle was remarkable. Except that he did not expect that his opponent's magical foot movement skills were almost as good as his own, he displayed his strength and used his tactics appropriately. Just achieved the final victory.
Although Xie Yuan suspected that Huijue was hiding something, he did not try his best from the beginning.
"Although the monk is cunning, he still has to learn a lesson and can no longer believe what others show."
Xie Yuan nodded slowly.
As for the Grandmaster battle, it gave him a lot of experience.
This was his first real face-to-face battle with the Grandmaster. Although Yao Yilong is an old master, his strength is not very strong. However, the pressure put on him is almost unmatched.
Facing an opponent whose cultivation is far superior to one's own is like dancing on a tightrope, without making a single mistake. Every time Xie Yuan was hit, he had to rely on his small rejuvenation pill to recover, otherwise he would have lost his ability to fight.
But the experience of fighting against a master is also extremely valuable. The experience between life and death made Xie Yuan realize a lot. There must be no redundancy in the moves. A thin line of separation, a moment of slowness, is the difference between life and death.
Summarizing the experience of the two battles, Xie Yuan felt that his combat skills had improved a lot.
Gongfa is a kung fu, and cultivation is cultivation. These two items are hard power. But how to combine them and apply them in actual combat is a test of personal skills, which is something that the panel cannot reflect. With the same skills and cultivation, if the combat skills are too different, the battle is likely to be one-sided.
Fortunately, Xie Yuan has attached great importance to actual combat and review since the beginning of his practice. After all, he has kept in mind the powerful words "Experiment is the only criterion for testing truth." The external training stage was almost fought all the way, and there was also a lot of fighting and reflection afterwards. Not only was the combat skill perfect and perfect, but it was also quite consistent with my own level of strength. It was not a shortcoming, and it was constantly improving.
In addition to his own fights, Xiao Qianlong watched so many games in two days. Although there were not many heroes who could match him in strength, the kung fu of different schools and sects was still noticeable after watching it. It was a great gain for him, at least it opened his eyes and gained more experience.
So after these ten days, Xie Yuan, who had summarized all the battles in Jinling and integrated all the gains, did not improve much in cultivation, but his strength was different.
"There is no other movement."
Xie Yuan looked at the garden scenery outside the window and thought silently.
During these ten days, he was still wondering whether there would be a second letter or a mysterious person appearing, but apart from the mysterious first letter, nothing else happened afterwards. He even suspected that this letter was just a prank.
“Junior Brother Zhang, it’s time to go out.”
Qin Zhenyang's voice came from outside the door.
Xie Yuan had already packed up, opened the door and went out, saluting Qin Zhenyang:
"Good morning, senior brother Qin."
Qin Zhenyang looked at Xie Yuan, with a restrained look and calm eyes, was startled for a moment and nodded slightly:
"It seems that junior brother has gained something recently."
"The Little Qianlong Festival, I met so many young heroes, what can I do without gaining anything?"
Xie Yuan said with a smile.
Qin Zhenyang felt a little emotional. This junior brother was progressing really fast. He could feel that his current temperament was slightly different from that of ten days ago.
It's like having seen high mountains, and after climbing them himself, the ordinary hills can no longer hold him back.
A calm and restrained self-confidence, in popular terms, is called master's bearing.
Being able to fight against a grandmaster and defeat him, no matter what the conditions are, he is indeed a master by any standard.
Calculating the speed of his progress, it is much faster than his own back then.
If this continues, will he catch up with me one day?
Well, it shouldn’t be a problem in a short time. The gap between the two people’s cultivation levels is still huge.
But who can know everything about what will happen next?
Qin Zhenyang was in a trance, and he and Xie Yuan left the Jianzong Courtyard, followed the servants from the Yao family who led the way out of the Jinling Mansion, and gathered with others outside the East City Gate.
There are two rows of big trees beside the road, their leaves have turned slightly yellow, and the road is full of autumn.
A group of young talents have gathered in the pavilion beside the road.
Xie Yuan glanced over, slightly awe-inspiring.
There are so many three realms of energy and blood transformation...
When the young elites gathered together, they were all somewhat competitive, and their own momentum was not restrained. Xie Yuan could tell at a glance what level the blood in the pavilion belonged to.
It’s rare to see so many people in the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation gathered together, and for the first time, I feel that the cultivation of those in the second level of Qi and Blood Transformation is a bit low.
It was Zhang Junyi who was standing there.
However, although he is one of the few second-transformation warriors and has not participated in the secret fight among young people, no one else dares to look down upon him when he is standing there.
Based on his status as the true successor of Xuanzhen Sect, plus the fact that one person won eight consecutive championships in the Little Qianlong Conference, well, we also have to add that he was a member of the three-person team that defeated Yao Yilong...
Even if their cultivation level is one level lower than them, these young masters from various sects and tribes do not dare to look down upon them in the slightest.
Xie Yuan and Qin Zhenyang joined the Jianzhen Lake sightseeing group consisting of about ten people. Qin Zhenyang greeted the others one by one on his behalf, calmly and appropriately, showing off his demeanor as the chief of a large group.
After a while, people started to arrive. Counting Xie Yuan himself, there were thirteen people in total.
Except for Xie Yuan and Zhang Junyi, who obtained quotas from the Yao family through the Little Qianlong Association, the others all belong to major sects and families. They allocate quotas with other families based on their own strength, and then exchange them from the Yao family. Come for a spot.
“This young master of the Langya Wang Sect is extremely powerful. I doubt he is any worse than Senior Brother Qin. He just looked at me indifferently. I don’t know whether it was intentional or not.”
After all, Chunyu Tower's list is not omnipotent. Some people's performance will not show up if they don't take action, but their strength is not necessarily weak.
“The nuns from the Third Transformation Realm of Mingxin’an... Hey, do all the nuns that Mingxin’an recruits require beautiful women? But what’s the use of looking good after becoming a monk?
“The Qian family’s nuns , is in the Third Transformation Realm again, so young, no weaker than that Mr. Qian.
"The big scholars from Quning Academy have muscles that cannot be defeated by the Three Transformations... They should all be famous figures on the Hidden Dragon List, right? They probably all come here to seek opportunities for a breakthrough as a master."
These thirteen people are all the core disciples of each sect and the sect's genius. If it were not for the hope of being a master, they would not spend a lot of money to buy a place to come here.
A group of thirteen people, led by Yao Qinglai, rode to the Purple Mountain to the east of Jinling Mansion.
It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the red leaves of Purple Mountain are all over the mountain, like the blazing fire of autumn. I am infected by just one glance, and I feel that my mood is agitated.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Someone sighed.
Several others agreed.
No one was wary of this trip, it was just like enjoying the scenery in autumn.
It has been more than ten years since the Yao family shared that Jianzhen Lake came out. This plan has been very mature and has never gone wrong in these years. These large inheritances have either come like Qin Zhenyang, or I just understand it very clearly and don’t feel any anxiety.
Although Yao Qinglai is the foreign affairs elder of the Yao family, most of these rising stars are not weaker than him in cultivation - no, he is already a master of the Three Transformations Realm who can dominate one side.
It’s just that for these young heroes, their future is still promising. Although their cultivation is high, they can still be called the stars of tomorrow.
Yao Qinglai was very polite to them, smiling and waiting for them to enjoy the scenery at will. He slowly went deep into the Purple Mountain like walking in the forest. In a valley surrounded by mountains, he saw the A large, calm lake.
Under the red and yellow hillsides on all sides, it seems to be inlaid with a pearl. There is mist floating on the pearl, and the breeze blows, and the ripples are light and hazy, like a painting by God.
Everyone stood quietly on the top of the mountain for a while, looking down at the legendary Jianzhen Lake.
According to legend, an ancestor of the Yao family caught a glimpse of their true self in Jianzhen Lake. Not only did he directly break through from the realm of Qi and Blood Transformation to the realm of the Grandmaster of the Twin Bridges of Heaven and Earth, but he also made a breakthrough in just a few years, all the way to the realm of the Great Grandmaster. , dominate the world, and stand proudly among the heroes.
This is a place that is not inferior to Yunshan Jianfeng.
Xie Yuan nodded slightly and vaguely caught a glimpse of the seemingly peaceful peaks around him. There seemed to be quite a few Yao family guards lurking there.
No need to think about it, it must be a forbidden area among the Yao family's forbidden areas. Xie Yuan felt that it took little effort to sneak into the Yao family's ancestral house. It might be more difficult to enter here.
Yao Qinglai took everyone down the mountain and walked to the lake. There were already people waiting here and thirteen small boats were prepared.
"Everyone, wait for me to distribute the protective jade pendant. Holding the jade pendant, you will jump directly into the lake later and enter the Jianzhen Lake ruins. And when you want to return to the living world, you only need to touch the jade pendant with your heart. , it will take effect."
Yao Qinglai explained a little, then took out thirteen jade pendants and distributed them to individuals one by one.
Xie Yuan also received a piece and looked down at it.
This round jade pendant is warm and smooth to the touch, without any color, and it looks like it is made of top-notch jade.
Feel it with your heart, and there seems to be some subtle spiritual meaning in it, which is probably the key to return.
He put the jade pendant away and heard Yao Qinglai say:
"Each of you pick a small boat and go to Jianzhen Lake. Just tell the boatman where you want to go. As long as you leave the shore Ten feet, when you are ready, jump directly into the lake and enter the ruins. . After entering, I will not go into details. You are all sensible geniuses. If there is any disharmony, please return immediately.
"Everyone, the ruins of Jianzhen Lake this season are now. It’s now open, I hope you all have gained something and come back with a full load. ”
After Yao Qing finished speaking, the young geniuses jumped onto the boat with great interest and rushed to row into the lake.
Xie Yuan and Qin Zhenyang looked at each other, and Qin Zhenyang asked Yao Qinglai in a deep voice:
"Elder Yao, my junior brother and I want to be in the same boat, is it okay? "
Yao Qinglai was startled for a moment, glanced at the two of them, and said casually:
"It's up to you."
Xie Yuan silently boarded the same boat with Qin Zhenyang.
Actually, Yao Qinglai just made excuses not to let them go. They could still get closer to the lake in their own boats, so there was no difference.
But after testing it like this, it seems that Yao Qinglai didn't show anything strange.
After the two of them got on the boat calmly, they asked the boatman to row forward, with the goal...
"Ahem, please, sir, follow the Taoist priest's boat."
Xie Yuan coughed lightly and prepared to follow Zhang Junyi.
"Okay."
Plop, plop...
Not far from the shore, people could not help but enter the water one after another. Xie Yuan stared at it, his eyes Squint slightly.
The sun was bright at that time, the lake was clear, about two or three feet deep, and you could almost see the bottom.
As for those who jumped into the lake, they looked normal at first, and their figures were a little distorted under the rippling ripples of the water. But after a while, their figures became lighter and fainter, and they became increasingly unclear. When the ripples subsided, their figures Also disappeared.
It’s like being swallowed by this big lake.
Xie Yuan shook his head, shaking off this inexplicable association. Now Jianzhen Lake is nominally owned by the Yao family and is managed by the Yao family. If other families want to enter, they must pay a fee to the Yao family.
But in fact, the allocation of quotas is no longer the final decision of the Yao family. In addition to taking care of them and giving them two self-reserved spots, the other parties discussed the matter and then purchased tickets symbolically.
The ticket fee is certainly expensive, but it is a bargain compared to the quota; and the Yao family has also used a clever way to get rid of the hot potato, and can also recover a lot of resources, which can be regarded as the political wisdom of a powerful family.
But Jian Zhenhu gave it away after all. In the future, Yao Jiazhen will regain his strength. Unless he can dominate the world, I am afraid he will never be able to take it back.
So, although the Yao family still nominally controls Jianzhen Lake, their strength is there, and they are more like trustees.
They have no strength and no motive, and they do not dare to harm the successors sent here by other major sects.
Now if Zhenhu swallows all the thirteen people today, each major sect will naturally lose one or two outstanding successors, and the Yao family will probably be jointly held accountable and suffer disaster.
Xie Yuan looked at the slight ripples on the lake surface, looked up at Zhang Junyi who stopped in front, cupped his hands and said:
"Daozhang Zhang, why don't you go on a swim with the beautiful scenery of the lake?"
Zhang Junyi was stunned for a moment. , looking at Xie Yuan who took the initiative to greet him and Qin Zhenyang next to him, he said lightly:
"Whatever."
He didn't know Xie Yuan's identity, which made Xie Yuan a little secretive. happy.
Didn’t you want to worship me as your teacher two days ago and conquer thousands of armies? He is almost the same generation as Master Yuxu.
So cold now.
But it doesn’t matter. Xie Yuan is not in a hurry to reveal his identity. Zhang Junyi is a chivalrous person. If anything strange happens next, he will be able to help.
"Senior Brother Qin, are you going into the water?"
Xie Yuan looked at Qin Zhenyang next to him.
Qin Zhenyang stared at the lake and nodded:
"Any time."
Seeing Zhang Junyi preparing to jump off the boat not far away, Xie Yuan touched the jade pendant on his chest , inhaling slightly:
"Then let's go here."
After that, he and Qin Zhenyang stood on the edge of the boat and took a step forward at the same time.
thump.
Perfect double board, with plenty of water pressure...
Xie Yuan's mind was a little distracted.
Enter the lake.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if the world was completely isolated except for the sound of bubbles.
The moment you enter the water while swimming, you often feel like you have entered another world.
The feeling Xie Yuan feels now is even more obvious.
He raised his head slightly, and there was a bright light above the rippling ripples. The skylight seemed to be in an extremely distant place, gradually leaving him.
The surrounding water bubbles made it difficult for him to see clearly. Qin Zhenyang was right next to him, and his shadow was distorted by the water patterns, making it look very illusory.
The jade pendant in his chest was slightly warm, and Xie Yuan felt as if he was also enveloped by some strange power, gradually rippling with the water waves.
Then disappeared.
Xie Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and felt a little dark around him.
I seem to be at the bottom of a very deep lake, where the sun can barely shine.
Looking up, the skylight was only a little small, but with the warrior's eyesight, he could already see things.
The surrounding water is a little heavy, and it seems a little strange... It won't wet your clothes, and you can still breathe? Doesn’t that mean you can talk?
Xie Yuan opened his mouth, spit out a string of bubbles, and then made a sound:
"Senior Brother Qin..."
He looked to the side and was about to ask how to explore here, then stopped live.
There is no one around.
Xie Yuan looked around and turned around in an instant. However, the surroundings were extremely dark, and there was nothing except a little light above his head.
There are no people, no fish, no aquatic plants, nothing but myself and the lake.
Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Senior Brother Qin said that if you come down here, you will not change your position...
He tried to swim around. There were no restrictions on the movement, but he could not see anyone else around him. .
“This Xuan Shui puts a lot of pressure on me, but I can hold on. If I practice here, I can indeed get twice the result with half the effort.”
Xie Yuan pondered.
It’s just that I can’t figure out the situation now, so it’s naturally impossible to start practicing at will.
He looked up again.
It feels like the sky is so high. The distance from here to the lake is almost as deep as the real lake.
Jianzhen Lake is not a very deep lake. The depth of this lake within a lake is obviously far greater than the current Jianzhen Lake.
Xie Yuan looked down again and saw that under his feet was pure black without a trace of light. It was deep, like the deepest abyss.
After two glances, he felt as if he was going to fall forever. He suddenly had a sudden onset and raised his head, not daring to look again.
There is indeed something evil about this place.
Xie Yuan frowned, what should we do next?
If you don’t know that there may be danger here, just follow what I explained before, don’t think too much, don’t be brave, just sink appropriately in the lake water, find the pressure and depth that suits you, practice thousands of miles day by day, and A chance to catch a glimpse of your true self.
But now I have been reminded by the mysterious person, and something has indeed happened here. Different from what Senior Brother Qin said before, it is impossible for Xie Yuan to cover up his practice.
He subconsciously stretched his hand to his chest, and then paused again.
The jade pendant is missing.
Xie Yuan's eyes narrowed and he looked around, but did not see the jade pendant.
This secret bag is intact. Pay special attention when you go into the water. It is impossible to lose it.
Have you been cheated?
Xie Yuan recalled the scene when Yao Qing came to distribute the jade pendants, but did not notice anything wrong.
But if he really wanted to target himself, this little trick would not be easily seen by him.
It is very possible that this change is due to the hidden secret of the jade pendant.
But why? Has your identity been exposed? Or because of something else.
What is the purpose of the Yao family to do this to completely trap themselves here?
Xie Yuan was analyzing calmly when he suddenly felt a fluctuation next to him and suddenly looked up.
The water nearby surged, and a young man wearing Taoist robes swam over. When he saw Xie Yuan, he smiled:
"Finally I saw someone! It turns out you are here."
When Xie Yuan saw Zhang Junyi, he also had the same thought of "finally seeing a person".
The lake is quiet and quiet, with an abyss underneath it. If you can't see anyone, you'll feel a little panicked.
"Daozhang Zhang, what a coincidence! There is something strange here. I thought I wouldn't be able to meet anyone else."
Xie Yuan went up to greet him with a smile.
Zhang Junyi smiled heartily and said:
"Brother Xie Dao, it is our fate to fight side by side. Even here, we can always bump into each other."
< br>
Xie Yuan suddenly stopped and looked at Zhang Junyi in front of him, his smile gradually fading away.
"Daozhang Zhang, what did you call me?"
"Brother Xie Dao, what's wrong?"
Zhang Junyi said with a puzzled look on his face.
Xie Yuan looked seriously at the young Taoist priest who had no flaws on his face, and said slowly:
"You are not Zhang Junyi."
Zhang Junyi froze immediately, looked at Xie Yuan, showed a strange smile, and then turned into a ball of bubbles and dissipated.
Xie Yuan's eyes flashed, as if he was back to where he was just now.
His eyes flashed and he murmured:
"Is it an illusion..."
Xie Yuan experienced for the first time the hallucination of seeing the real lake.
The Zhang Junyi just now, no matter his breath or appearance, could not see any flaws at all, he was no different from the real person.
If he hadn't revealed his identity as soon as he opened his mouth, Xie Yuan would never have thought it was an illusion.
But I just came in and haven’t started practicing yet. How could I encounter an illusion?
Xie Yuan became more and more cautious, feeling that everything in this place was weird.
Let's take a look upstream first...
Xie Yuan was about to make a move when suddenly there were ripples next to him, and a figure wearing Taoist robes came over again.
The Taoist priest saw Xie Yuan and smiled:
“Finally I saw someone! It turns out you are here.”
Xie Yuan’s eyes were awe-inspiring and he looked quietly. Watching Zhang Junyi approach.
"There is no one in this ghost place, and I am still a little panicked... Your name is Zhang Shan, right?"
Zhang Junyi approached and said.
Xie Yuan suddenly raised his hand:
“Stop!”
Zhang Jun stopped when he heard the sound and said in surprise:
"Brother Dao Zhang, why is this? Didn't you let us explore together just now?"
Xie Yuan said in a deep voice:
"Taoist Master, what did you call me?"
“Brother Zhang Dao, what’s wrong?”
Zhang Junyi said with a puzzled look on his face.
Xie Yuan felt that all this seemed familiar, and became more vigilant, and slowly probed:
"Oh... Then what happened when we fought side by side before..."
Zhang Junyi was confused:
"We? Fight side by side? Little Qianlonghui? We are not in the same group..."
Xie Yuan frowned and suddenly said:
"You are not Zhang Junyi!"
Zhang Junyi was startled, and also frowned:
"I am Zhang Junyi, and it is true. Brother Zhang Dao, you...are Encountered a hallucination? "
After hearing this, Xie Yuan saw that the figure did not disappear, and there were no flaws in the conversation before and after. He felt that this seemed to be a real person.
But he still didn’t dare to believe it completely, and just said on guard:
"That's right. Senior brother and I were separated. I just encountered Brother Zhang Dao and was almost deceived by your illusion."
"See me?"
Zhang Junyi looked strange, then showed shyness Shy smile:
"It seems that Brother Zhang Dao still remembers my previous performance at the Little Qianlong Conference. Haha, no prizes, no prizes! I didn't even show my full strength, so let's give it a try."
"..."
Xie Yuan suddenly felt that this guy was probably real.
Zhang Junyi smiled proudly for a while, then calmed down his expression and said slightly seriously:
"Brother Zhang Dao, are you looking down at the bottom of the lake... don't look!"
When Zhang Jun asked, Xie Yuan subconsciously wanted to look down, just like when he heard the sentence "Don't think about elephants in your heart", his first reaction was to think about an elephant.
Fortunately, he stopped in time and frowned:
"Taoist Master, what you mean is that this illusion..."
"It comes from the bottom of the lake."
Zhang Junyi said solemnly:
"I also started I have experienced it. However, the way I practice can withstand falsehoods, and I am not disturbed by them. I am not deceived by them.
"But the strangeness of the lake should still be underneath, and the source of the illusion is also there. As long as you don't stare, you should be fine for a while. ”
Xie Yuan nodded slowly, looked at Zhang Junyi, and suddenly asked:
"How do you prove that you are not an illusion?"
Zhang Junyi smiled, pulled out the peach wood sword directly, and pointed forward One split.
A clear air water dragon roared out, blasting ten feet in front of him, causing bubbles to rise in the entire surrounding lake.
As soon as he drew his sword, he made a handsome gesture with his sword in his arms, and then put it on his back:
"Illusions can't do this."
Xie Yuan felt the power of the real Xuanzhen Sect skills and nodded slightly.
Although more advanced illusions can also confuse the skills with the real ones, there is also the possibility that I have entered the illusion at some point, but it is really unlikely. If that's the case, then there's no way to stay here.
This picture of uniformity does not look like an act. Xie Yuan believed 90% of it, and then asked:
"Do you need me to prove it myself?"
"No need, poor Taoist can tell what is true and what is false."
Zhang Junyi said proudly and quietly put his hands behind his back.
Xie Yuan nodded, frowned and said:
"Daozhang Zhang, you are the true successor of Xuanzhen Sect, a disciple of the top famous sect in the world. I believe you. My senior brother told me before that after coming down, Everyone’s position should remain unchanged, so my senior brother and I entered this lake within a lake together. But after we came down... I couldn’t find him.”
Zhang Junyi frowned:
"I've heard this before, how could it be so? But... our positions don't seem to have changed? No, it didn't seem to be in this direction just now..."
Xie Yuan didn't know the answer when he saw Zhang Junyi. , pondered for a moment and asked:
" Zhang Daozhang, is your jade pendant still there?"
Zhang Jun was startled when he heard this question, then he felt it and then breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's okay, it's still there? . Hey, Brother Zhang Dao, your jade pendant..."
Xie Yuan shook his head:
“It’s gone.”
“This…”
Zhang Junyi’s pupils shrank.
The Yao family has never said how to go back if there is no jade pendant here!
He touched the jade pendant, felt it, shook his head and said:
“This thing can only be used by one person, and it cannot be divided.”
Xie Yuan thanked:
“ Thank you, Daozhang Zhang, for your kindness. It’s really not that simple here.”
Zhang Junyi sighed:
"Did Brother Dao accidentally lose it?"
"No, I paid great attention from the beginning. I did not lose the jade pendant myself."
Xie Yuan shook his head and answered.
"You didn't lose it yourself..."
Zhang Junyi slowly frowned:
"Is the Yao family targeting you? Why? Because you took Yao Tianchuan's spot?"
"Maybe."
Xie Yuan didn't know why.
Zhang Junyi was adamant:
"Humph, this Yao family is really ugly. When I go out, I must settle the score with them again! Don't worry, Brother Zhang Dao, I will Help you get out!”
Xie Yuan saw that Zhang Junyi was so chivalrous. Although he was not at the end of his rope, and the two of them had already been friends, as Zhang Shan, he was not familiar with Zhang Junyi at all, but he was still willing to draw his sword to help, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"Daozhang Zhang is truly a heroic man in this world!"
When Zhang Jun heard these words, he suddenly felt that his 3,600 pores opened, and he felt so comfortable that he wished he could give his jade pendant to the man in front of him. Talking guy.
"Where, where...hehe."
Zhang Junyi scratched his head and laughed for a while, and then returned to the topic:
"Brother Zhang Dao, if you want to find the exit, I'm afraid...you have to go down to find it."
"Isn't it possible to go up?"
"I just tried going up, but The light seems to be always in the sky and never reaches the water. I think if there is an exit here, it must be at the core of the lake."
Zhang Junyi said solemnly.
Xie Yuan nodded slowly, agreeing with his analysis.
But according to what he said, the illusion comes from the bottom of the lake, and the source of the strangeness of the entire Jianzhen Lake may be at the bottom of the lake. The closer you get, the more dangerous it is.
Should we dive directly...
Xie Yuan was thinking when he suddenly felt a wave of fluctuation in the lake in the distance.
He and Zhang Junyi turned their heads at the same time and saw a water dragon rushing towards them quickly.
There was a person standing on the faucet, with a haughty and majestic face, holding a faint blue bead in his hand. He saw Xie Yuan here at a glance, and laughed wildly from a distance:
"Hahaha, I found you!
"Qin Zhenyang was taken away and no one was there to protect you. You must be... Zhang Junyi today? "
Xie Yuan silently moved his position, and then the man saw Zhang Junyi behind him, with a look of surprise on his face:
" Impossible! How did you come across this? ”
Zhang Junyi showed his head, looked at the beads on the man’s hand, and his eyes flashed:
"Ding Shuizhu?"
Xie Yuan slowly grinned and said:
"And the jade pendant... This is a takeaway."
