Chapter 178 Fog, Moonlight, Panic in Jiao Palace


Chapter 178: Fog, moonlight, panic, Jiao Palace

“What, entering the lake and water house?”

“Absolutely not, Brother Chen, as the saying goes, a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall. Once the old dragon goes back on its word, it will probably be difficult to escape.”

“That’s right, Chen Boss, monsters are cunning in nature, and there is no such thing as honoring promises and honesty, so it is unwise to put yourself in danger. . "

"Shopkeeper, I also think what Yang Kuishou and the old foreigner brothers said are reasonable, and if you must go, please take Kunlun with you."

"Also, Brother Chen, this lake is at least a hundred meters deep. No matter how good the water quality is, people would not dare to enter the water lightly. This matter is too dangerous. According to Yang, it is better to wait quietly on the mountain."

In front of the broken monument of Yinghai Mountain.

Chen Yulou briefly talked about his plan.

Of course, the agreement with Zhou Jiao was omitted, and it was only said that the old Jiao invited him to enter the Xiashui Mansion of Fuxian Lake.

Unexpectedly, there was an outcry of opposition in an instant.

Even Kunlun, who had always been obedient to his orders, looked unacceptable.

"Don't worry, Chen will never make dangerous moves. Since you agree, you are absolutely sure."

Facing the worried faces.

Chen Yulou just shook his head and smiled.

There was a confrontation before.

There seemed to be no winner.

But the clues can actually be seen from Lao Jiao's actions.

Be wary, alert, vigilant.

These factors all come from the shock of his strength.

If someone else were to hold the dragon slough today, the outcome would have been doomed from the moment they appeared on the lake, let alone the conditions.

That is to be killed for treasure.

Now that the old dragon is asking for help from him, it is like his lifeline is being held.

Unless it can give up the temptation of transforming into a dragon.

Otherwise, after entering the water, you will never dare to do anything easily.

What's more, after merging with the water-dividing beads, Chen Yulou's ability to control water is no weaker than that of the big fish in the lake. Even if he does it underwater, he won't look down upon him at all.

"But..."

"No need to but, Brother Dao, if there is really danger, Chen is confident that he can still escape with all his strength."

Partridge Whistle also wanted to say something else.

But Chen Yulou had already made up his mind, and this trip into the water was not entirely impromptu.

Whether it is Jiaolong Water Mansion or the ancient city in the lake, he wants to see it.

"This..."

Partridge Whistle frowned.

Although he was a good swimmer among the group, he was not sure about diving into a large lake that was 100 meters away.

Old foreigners are even more naturally afraid of water.

Luofu is a born phoenix.

If it were an earth dragon and a sea of ​​fire, for it, it would be able to 'leap the sea with fish and let the birds fly in the sky'.

Yuan Hong and Kunlun are both overlords in the forest.

As for the remaining two men, their strength is too low, let alone escorting the plundering formation, I am afraid that Chen Yulou will have to take care of them.

After much thought, he couldn't think of a better way.

“Okay, Brother Tao, the old dragon is still waiting for you.”

"Chen will go first, and he will definitely return in half an hour at most, how about?"

Chen Yulou waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

Looks like they are discussing.

But there is a strong sense of confidence in his words.

"...that's fine."

I saw him talking about this.

Partridge Whistle didn’t try to persuade him, so he could only nod his head and agree.

But from the frown between his eyebrows, it can be seen that he is still filled with surprise and doubt in his heart at this moment.

The main thing is that after knowing each other for such a long time, Chen Yulou has shown many methods, such as collecting qi, strengthening blood, internal refining, and swordsmanship, but he knows nothing about the nature of water.

Before at the port.

Just look at those fishermen.

Due to constant storms and waves on the lake in the past few years, they would rather farm than fish in the lake.

For people who rely on water all year round, can we say that their water quality is not good?

If they are like this, let alone others?

"I'd like to trouble you to wait a moment."

Chen Yulou crossed his fists, turned and left.

However, as soon as he took a few steps, he suddenly turned around, looked back at the honest but extremely determined face, and suddenly showed helplessness, "Go back, the shopkeeper is not gone forever. ”

Kunlun has always been obedient.

At this moment, he shook his head.

In his heart, ever since the shopkeeper brought him back from Yandang Mountain, his life had already been sold to him.

Not to mention, the fact that I can speak and read and write is all due to the gift of the shopkeeper.

Now, the shopkeeper is going to take risks, how can I ignore it?

“Be obedient.”

Chen Yulou knows his character better than anyone else.

This boy may seem gentle, but in fact he is the most stubborn. Once he decides something, he will not be able to pull back ten cows.

"Half an hour, once the time limit has passed, the shopkeeper will not stop you, whether entering the water or the lake."

Chen Yulou raised a finger.

Seriously.

“Really?”

Kunlun’s eyes finally flashed with a hint of wavering.

"Of course, shopkeeper, when have I ever lied to you?"

"It's hard to follow a promise!"

"Okay, then half an hour."

Seeing that he finally stopped, Chen Yulou couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was really not something that ordinary people could do to persuade him.

Looked up and glanced into the distance.

The old dragon standing on the tide was obviously a little impatient. Although he never spoke, the water in the lake below him seemed to be boiling, surging and undulating.

Delay no more.

Chen Yulou took a deep breath.

Stepping on the blue rock, he jumped out in one step and floated to the big lake like a feather.

“咚——”

See this scene.

Everyone on the Yinghai Mountain behind them felt tense, and even their breathing became stagnant subconsciously.

“Condensation!”

At the moment when approaching the lake.

Chen Yulou spit out a word softly.

In an instant, the undulating lake water beneath him seemed to have solidified. The invisible water gathered into a tangible step, floating lightly on the water platform.

At this moment, the water breeze blew by, making him flaunt his long gown and long sleeves. Coupled with the long sword at his waist, he was exactly the same as the sword fairy mentioned in Zhiyi novels and storytellers.

“Treading water?!”

Partridge Whistle’s pupils shrank suddenly.

A look of disbelief.

From Pingshan to Chenjiazhuang, and then to Zhelongshan, for several months, we almost lived and ate together. I thought I had gotten to know Chen Yulou well enough.

Until now.

He suddenly realized it.

Looking at him, it turns out that he is like a flower in the mist of the moon in the water, and I have always been unable to figure it out.

In secular martial arts, there is a saying that walking on water leaves no trace.

But he knew that it was just using his true energy to forcibly raise his energy and skim across the water.

Generally speaking, any good light body kung fu can do it.

It’s just the length of time the water stays in the water.

But the real treading on water goes far beyond the scope of martial arts.

Chen Yulou stands quietly on the lake at this moment.

The shoes should not be soaked in water, and the water should not touch the body.

It is said that one is treading on water, but in fact, one is treading on empty space.

"God..."

Compared to him, the expressions of the people around him were even more shocked.

“It turns out that the shopkeeper has already become an immortal.”

"Absolutely. Didn't you see that the old dragon suddenly stopped moving?"

"Land Immortal."

The two guys sent to drive the boat usually live in the mountains, and There was already a layer of filters between Chen Yulou and Chen Yulou. Seeing him floating above the lake, he almost couldn't help but worship him.

“Is this the master?”

Yuan Hong has never spoken.

Amber eyes are as clear as fire.

Staring at the figure on the lake, I was so excited that I couldn't speak.

It already knew that its master was powerful, as evidenced by the countless demons it killed along the way.

But it really didn't guess that the master's cultivation level had reached such a high level that Feng Xu could control the wind and walk on water without waves.

On the contrary, Kunlun is the calmest.

In his mind, this is what a shopkeeper should be like.

Carrying the spurge, he walked step by step to the reef outside Yinghai Mountain, sat down cross-legged, and glanced at Luofu on his left shoulder, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

Half an hour.

This is the promise given to him by the shopkeeper.

Then he will wait here. When half an hour is up, as long as the shopkeeper has not returned, even if there is a sea of ​​swords and fire, he Kunlun will not blink an eye and will follow him to the death!

"Senior Zhou Jiao, let's go."

Chen Yulou raised his eyes and glanced at Chaotou Laojiao.

He stretched out his hand calmly and said.

"Okay."

Zhou Jiao glanced at him, without much surprise in his eyes.

When it had broken through its water arrow and water column killing array before, it had already seen how amazing Chen Yulou's ability to control water was. not to mention.

If you can't even do this, how can you go down to the lake and enter its water house?

Crash——

I don’t see the old dragon doing anything.

The tide gathering under the body suddenly dissipated, and it plunged into the lake. The huge figure walked through the lake and headed straight for the cave deep at the bottom of the lake.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou did not hesitate and followed directly.

Once in the water.

In an instant.

Countless lakes surged towards him from all directions, and it seemed as if there was a gust of wind roaring in his ears.

But the moment comes.

I saw a flash of green light all over his body.

An invisible aura immediately enveloped him, and the lake water outside him could no longer infect him at all. It passed lightly by his side. This feeling was quite wonderful, and he couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. .

To know.

Even the time when I presented myself to Wang Xuan Palace.

When the corpse cave is introduced into the Feng Shui killing array of Qinglong Dunbi, at the most dangerous time, it is just rising from the water in the pool into the sky.

A few days ago in Longtan, I also used my spiritual consciousness to carry the dragon slough ashore.

Didn’t actually enter the cave.

Now it is the first time to actually enter the water.

As the depth of the dive increased, even though he was protected by spiritual energy, he could clearly feel that the water from all around was getting heavier, squeezing his flesh and bones crazily.

but.

Cleaning the marrow and cutting bones, strengthening blood and refining internally.

His muscles and bones have long been cast like molten iron, making it difficult for ordinary swords to pierce.

Ten meters.

Fifty meters.

One hundred meters.

The old dragon is indeed a great monster in the water, with an astonishing speed and no obstacles. Even the further down it goes, the more it returns to the sea like a dragon, and only a faint black shadow can be seen.

It was already dark under the lake.

Pitch black as ink.

Looking up, I could barely see a ray of skylight above my head through the mist, but after dozens of meters, even the scorching sun could not reach here.

Chen Yulou could only rely on his pair of green wood spiritual eyes to barely see his surroundings.

As for the dragon.

It is pulled by a ray of spiritual consciousness.

As long as you can keep up from a distance.

When we reach this depth underwater, we are not only plunged into darkness, but we even encounter very few fish.

It seems that even they are.

It is also unable to adapt to the environment at the bottom of the lake.

Ignoring it too much, Chen Yulou continued to dive to the bottom of the lake, following Zhou Jiao's breath.

Within 100 meters, he could go unimpeded, but once he passed 100 meters, the surrounding water surged like a collapse of the sky, as if the entire lake was rolling on him.

“This is a good way to train your bones.”

Feeling amazing pressure.

Chen Yulou did not retreat, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The cleansing of marrow, cutting of bones, and external training of skin and flesh that martial arts practitioners pursue can be almost perfectly achieved at this moment.

Although he has experienced several bone cuttings, blood strengthening and internal refining of the five internal organs.

But there is still a long way to go before the Vajra Iron Bone.

Now...

This is a perfect opportunity.

Huh——

Took a breath.

Chen Yulou tried little by little, using the power of the water to strengthen his muscles and bones.

Star-like light spots gradually appeared in the skin that was originally as crystal clear as jade.

The momentum is also rising.

“Huh?!”

Zhou Jiao seemed to have his way and ignored him.

In fact, it always stayed behind, paying attention to Chen Yulou's every move.

for this person.

To be honest, it is still unwilling.

The natural dragon species and the master of Fuxian Lake were actually manipulated in this way by a human being.

It’s just that this person’s strength is truly amazing.

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Yulou was so arrogant that he dared to enter the lake alone.

After all, it’s good for humans to be the overlords of the land.

But no matter how strong he is at controlling water, Water Mansion is not an area he can easily touch.

So, Zhou Jiao actually had a sense of humor.

But the strength that Chen Yulou showed along the way made him become shocked from being unwilling to do so.

Until now.

Feeling the increasingly astonishing breath in the distance, like the bright moon and the scorching sun.

There is only admiration left in its heart.

Entering the water is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

You can also use it to practice.

This talent is definitely the only one he has seen in his life.

Zhou Jiao never thought of it in Fuxian Lake for more than a thousand years.

"Senior, why don't you leave?"

A moment later.

A laugh suddenly sounded in my ears.

Zhou Jiao looked up and realized that Chen Yulou had caught up with him at some point.

The figure is suspended in the water.

Looking at himself with a smile.

"We're almost there..."

Facing those eyes, Zhou Jiao always felt like he was being penetrated. He quickly put away the distracting thoughts in his heart, not daring to delay, turned around and swam straight to the bottom of the lake. .

Not long after.

Under the originally dark water.

There were actually rays of mist floating in the air.

The area is illuminated so brightly that you can faintly see the cornices, brackets, and towers.

Suppress your heart and marvel.

Follow the old dragon and get closer step by step.

Only then did Chen Yulou realize that it was actually a palace at the bottom of a lake. It looked extremely old in style. It had been soaked in water for many years and many places were in dilapidated condition.

But these do not affect its amazingness.

"Imperial City?"

Chen Yulou guessed secretly.

Zhou Jiao alone would definitely not be able to build such a magnificent palace.

And the genus of dragon has the nature of collecting treasures.

Then there is only one.

This is where it was moved back and rebuilt bit by bit from the ancient city that sank into the lake.

Passing through the courtyard, sure enough, totem marks from the ancient Dian Kingdom can be seen everywhere. As for the mist of stars he saw earlier, they were beads inlaid around the dome.

Blooming brilliance on its own in the water.

A cursory sweep.

At least there are nearly a hundred.

Moon Pearl!

Chen Yulou has been immersed in Daudou Xing for many years, and he recognized it at a glance. It was not the legendary Suizhu or Luminescent Pearl, but a luminous stone that could also illuminate.

The ancients polished it into the shape of beads.

Used to replace the ever-burning lamp.

But even he didn’t see much.

I don’t know where Zhou Jiao found it.

"Sir, come with me."

Noting the wonder in his expression, Zhou Jiao couldn't help but feel very satisfied.

One hundred thousand marshes in southern Yunnan.

There are countless dragons.

But it dares to say that no water palace can compare with its Jiao Palace.

Even if it is a real dragon living in the sea, I am afraid it is nothing more than this.

“Okay.”

Chen Yulou nodded.

Walking through the ancient palace with hands behind hands, as one person and one dragon walked around, water droplets would rise from time to time. It looked very strange, as if walking in a dragon palace.

Waited through the front hall and atrium.

Once you enter the depths of the temple.

From a distance, Chen Yulou saw a magnificent palace appearing in his sight.

Countless gold, silver, bronze, porcelain and jade are piled randomly in all directions like sand and gravel.

And in the deepest part of the palace.

There is a stone platform made of sapphire.

The middle of the stone platform was deeply sunken, and a shallow hole as big as the mouth of a bowl was dug out. There was a bright moon bead, which shone brightly and illuminated every detail around it.

Under the fog and moonlight.

A long whip wrapped in gold threads was suspended in the lake.

"Ghost whip?!"
