From clam spirit to mirage dragon fairy

Chapter 64 Exploring the cave ruins

After some haggling, Yan Lingyun finally reached an agreement with Fang Zhongling.

Fang Zhongling took the three of them to hunt for treasures. What treasures they could obtain at that time depended on God's will.

But before that, a tracking talisman unique to Liangyi Palace must be stamped on Fang Zhongling.

After the treasure hunt is over, Fang Zhongling cannot escape immediately. He must follow Qi Yuanbao back to the mountain gate of Liangyi Palace to meet the leader of Liangyi Sect, "Yi Qi Xian Qi Yuan", and practice in Liangyi Palace for ten years until it is confirmed that he is not Only after he harms Zhongzhou can he be freed.

Fang Zhongling had no objection to this, but was very happy.

After all, not every monk is qualified to enter the mountain gate of Liangyi Palace to practice.

After swearing an oath to each other, Qi Yuanbao took back the magic weapon, took out a jade seal and left a rune on Fang Zhongling's body.

"This is the unique secret treasure of our Liangyi Palace - the Hunyuan Treasure Seal. Unless you are an extraordinary immortal, you will not be able to escape the pursuit of my Liangyi Palace even if you go to the end of the world."

Qi Yuanbao said with pride.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Fang Zhongling covered the disappeared rune on his chest, as if he was afraid of being touched.

The appearance of that baby made Qi Yuanbao feel speechless.

For those who don’t know, they think it’s some sort of secret treasure for protection?

"Then shall we go?"

Fang Zhongling moved his hands and feet and said urgently.

"Walk, walk—"

Qi Yuanbao was the most excited and skillfully ran to Guyang's side to prepare for takeoff.

Yan Lingyun's face darkened.

He is a sword cultivator in the third realm, and his unique "Heart Sword Escape Technique" is not inferior to the soaring cloud method of those monks in the fourth realm.

But Qi Yuanbao is in the second realm and cannot even perform escape techniques.

So these days, he has been taking Qi Yuanbao with him using his escaping light.

Unexpectedly, after just one ride on Guyang's Xiangyun, this naughty kid abandoned him immediately.

Although it is indeed more comfortable to ride Xiangyun than to escape the light, do you not want to lose face?

"Fellow Daoist Yan, are you leaving?"

Fang Zhongling also occupied Guyang's side and greeted Yan Lingyun with a teasing look on his face.

Yan Lingyun's face turned a little darker again, but she still walked to Guyang's side with a calm face.

Guyang was filled with embarrassment, but it was already like this and he couldn't say anything.

Xiangyun reappeared and led everyone back to Chiyang City.

"Is this what it feels like to fly through the clouds and ride in the mist? Oh, it's so cool—"

Fang Zhongling nervously lay on the edge of the auspicious clouds and looked at the mountains speeding away below.

"Don't you monks in the Great Wilderness Continent be able to fly in the clouds?"

Guyang felt that Fang Zhongling always had some distant sense of familiarity since he was let go.

But Guyang was more curious about some information about Dahuangzhou.

"Riding clouds? It seems that except for the Buddhist cultivators in Central Continent and Posas Continent, no monks from other continents can ride on clouds, right?"

Fang Zhongling casually said that the method of flying in the clouds and mists of the Central Continent monks seemed to be a heresy among the monks.

"Then how do you guys usually go out in a hurry?"

Qi Yuanbao asked curiously.

“For short distances, use flying magic weapons such as flying swords and flying boats, for escaping, use escape techniques, and for long-distance cross-domain travel, use teleportation arrays.

Isn’t that the case with you? "

Fang Zhongling asked rhetorically.

"Wouldn't your hands be tied up in a fight like that?"

Qi Yuanbao was curious, wouldn't it be troublesome to compete with enemies on a flying magic weapon?

"Monks in the Nascent Soul stage, or what you call Four Realm monks here, can travel through the void, but they cannot travel long distances because it consumes mana and physical strength."

Fang Zhongling and Qi Yuanbao had a friendly exchange of ideas about the differences between monks from the two continents.

It was as if the unpleasantness just now didn't exist at all.

Guyang could tell that Fang Zhongling really wanted to please Qi Yuanbao, and so could Yan Lingyun.

It's just that Fang Zhongling didn't do anything wrong, so he couldn't say anything.

"arrive--"

Soon everyone returned to Chiyang City again.

From the sky, most of the people in the city gathered on a loess slope outside the city.

The clusters of heads surged like a black tide. At first glance, there were at least tens of thousands of people, and almost all the people of Chiyang City gathered together.

A Dharma gathering ashram has already been built on the slope.

That Master Jishi and a group of bald heads were performing fake sutra chanting. At first glance, does it really look like that?

"Here, here it is."

Fang Zhongling pointed the direction and led everyone to an ancient well in the city.

This is a spacious street intersection. On weekdays, this place must be very lively with people coming and going.

Chiyang City is located in the northern plains, and there are no big rivers around it. The residents in the city basically rely on this well for daily water use.

Therefore, almost every well is guarded by a dedicated government official, and it is just a matter of paying it back on weekdays.

If there is a drought, this well will be an important resource.

"Is the entrance in the well?"

Qi Yuanbao raised his head and looked at the bottom of the well, but he only saw clear and dark well water, not even a trace of abnormality.

"No, no, the well is just a passage to the entrance.

I'm not good at water magic. The first few times I just relied on magic to forcefully separate the well water.

But this time, having ancient Taoist friends accompanying me can save a lot of effort. "

Fang Zhongling raised his eyebrows at Guyang.

"Just a little thing."

Guyang looked at it and found that he was the most suitable for this job. Who said he was from the Shui Tribe?

A transparent water bubble spit out and enveloped everyone, and then Gu Yang led everyone to dive to the bottom of the well.

Soon the light from the outside world was completely unable to shine in, and the surrounding area fell into darkness.

Fang Zhongling stretched out his hand and tapped the edge of the bubble. A layer of soft white light immediately adhered to the bubble, illuminating the surrounding space.

"Brother Fang has such a wonderful art of condensing light."

Yan Lingyun said with sincere admiration.

His Heart Sword Sect is a sword cultivating sect and is not good at various Xuanmen spells.

But the vision is still there.

The light condensing technique is nothing more than a minor technique, but there are very few people who can practice it to such an understatement level as Fang Zhongling.

"No, no, Fellow Taoist Yan is overly praised."

Fang Zhongling was polite, but his face looked proud.

The underground water layer of Chiyang City is really shallow, and the water storage capacity is also very pitiful.

Soon the group encountered a layer of mud and rocks.

"It's over-"

Guyang opened his mouth to remind Fang Zhongling.

"No, no, we have to go down."

Fang Zhongling said carelessly.

"..."

Guyang was embarrassed for a while.

It's not impossible to go down further, but Guyang doesn't know the earth escape technique, so he can only rely on magic power to break through the soil layer further down.

"Is there any of you who is good at the local method?"

Guyang looked around at everyone.

"Don't look at me, I'm only good at wood and fire.

The first few times, I had to force my way through the soil before diving in. "

Fang Zhongling pushed [-], saying that he had no choice.

"I am a sword cultivator."

Yan Lingyun said tactfully.

"I, I have a divine shuttle."

Qi Yuanbao finally waited until it was time for him to show off, then reached out and took out a palm-sized black shuttle from his treasure bag.

With a slight throw, the black shuttle immediately transformed into the size of a small boat, with the small hole in the middle just big enough for a few people to move in. "I hope your magic weapon doesn't come out of nowhere."

Fang Zhongling muttered and got in.

The Chedi Divine Shuttle was covered with a layer of earth-yellow spiritual light and led everyone into the mud and stone layer and continued towards the depths of the ground.

"I wipe-"

I didn’t know how deep I had descended, but suddenly the mud and rock layer in front disappeared and was replaced by a black ocean.

Looking at the thick black liquid, Gu Yang's scalp felt numb.

It was clearly an oil field.

No wonder Fang Zhongling said not to drill out the sparks. If there is a little spark stuck...

Gu Yang couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the terrible consequences.

"It's spectacular——"

Fang Zhongling walked up to Guyang at some point, put his arm around Guyang's neck and said with a smile.

"bump--"

Guyang punched Fang Zhongling, causing black circles under his eyes.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Guyang felt scared in his heart and wanted to make Fang Zhongling look good on the spot.

"Friend Ancient Taoist, Friend Ancient Taoist——"

Yan Lingyun quickly grabbed Guyang.

"What is this?"

Qi Yuanbao curiously looked at the crude oil isolated by the aura.

"Yuanbao, that is fierce fire oil. It will ignite spontaneously when exposed to fire and will not be extinguished by water. Moreover, it contains earthly lung poisonous gas that can defile people's bodies."

After all, Yan Lingyun is older and knows better.

"It's so scary—"

Qi Yuanbao was startled when he heard this and looked at Fang Zhongling with evil eyes.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. We are all monks, nothing will happen to us. Besides, this thing won't explode unless it is bathed in fire."

Fang Zhongling quickly begged for mercy.

"What's the next step?"

Gu Yang put a layer of water cover on the Che Di Shen Shuttle and asked angrily.

"What's next? I don't know what's next.

In ancient times, this place was still a vast forest, and the senior set the entrance on a ten-thousand-year-old tree.

Nowadays, the original forest sea and countless creatures in the forest have been buried deep underground and turned into this oil field.

I don't know where the entrance is?
The first few times, I could only vaguely sense the direction of the entrance through the inheritance.

But the distance shouldn't be too far.

Let's look around. "

Fang Zhongling was embarrassed to tell the truth.

"you--"

Guyang felt angry for a while.

But there is no way, just look for it bit by bit.

Several people were wandering around in the oil field on the Shen Shuttle.

Suddenly Guyang was shocked.

He seemed to have caught some inspiration.

“Oil fields…why did he use that name?

Yan Lingyun has already said that this is fierce fire oil.

This is what the locals call oil.

Petroleum, that's what modern people in previous generations would call it. "

Guyang had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure.

What if the desert continent calls it "oil"?

Guyang quietly looked at Fang Zhongling, only to find that the boy was smiling at him with a full face.

The doubts in Gu Yang's heart became more serious, but he had no special evidence, and it was not easy to ask questions directly in front of Yan Lingyun and Qi Yuanbao. He could only suppress the speculation in his heart and continue to search in the oil field.

Fang Zhongling smiled meaningfully and took out a jade pendant the size of two fingers from his arms.

This jade pendant is shining with golden light and I don’t know what kind of beautiful jade it is carved from.

As if sensing something, the golden light on the jade pendant began to flicker on and off, changing to different degrees of light as everyone moved.

This is like a locator, and everyone is constantly adjusting the position according to changes in light.

The anomaly was finally discovered not long after.

An illusory treasure realm flashing with the same golden light appeared in front of everyone.

"open--"

Guyang spit out a clear spring and turned it into a barrier, pushing back the surrounding oil to separate an open area centered on the illusory treasure realm.

They were all monks and didn't need air. They carefully climbed out of the shuttle and observed the illusory treasure realm.

Said to be a treasure realm, in fact, in Guyang's opinion, it is more like a 3D phantom that exists in the computer, painted with shapes but without entity.

The treasure realm seems to be interacting with the pendant in Fang Zhongling's hand, and it is constantly emitting soft golden light ripples, which is really beautiful.

"Everyone, let me state this in advance. I have never been in either.

Whether it is a blessing or a curse, I cannot guarantee.

If something happens, don't blame it on me. "

Fang Zhongling looked around at everyone and excused himself.

"nature--"

Yan Lingyun expressed her understanding solemnly.

Guyang also nodded in agreement.

"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, I haven't explored the cave ruins yet."

Qi Yuanbao urged Fang Zhongling impatiently.

Fang Zhongling was so urged that he had no choice but to start casting spells.

A faint aura seeped out from Fang Zhongling's body and converged into the pendant like running water.

The pendant absorbed the spiritual light and began to reflect mysterious runes.

Finally, many runes converged into a stream of golden light that shone on the treasure realm.

The void space began to fluctuate like water ripples, as if an ancient space that had been silent for a long time began to return from the distant chaotic void.

The illusory treasure realm slowly reversed and reflected misty clouds from the mirror. In the mist, a staircase paved with golden light descended from the sky and spread to everyone's feet.

"Please, everyone."

Fang Zhongling seemed to have seen a similar scene before, and stepped onto the golden staircase at his feet.

"I'll go first—"

Qi Yuanbao took the lead and jumped on first.

"Ingots--"

Yan Lingyun was worried about Qi Yuanbao's safety and jumped into it.

Gu Yang saw that it was okay for everyone to go up, so he stepped up carefully.

The golden light staircase seemed to have spirituality. Knowing that everyone had already stepped on it, it suddenly led everyone back into the treasure realm.

Gu Yang only felt that the appearance of Yihua in front of him and around him had changed.

This is a small room made of several mirrors.

The tall mirror reflected Guyang's every detail, and even a trace of hair was clearly visible.

But the appearance reflected in the mirror is completely different.

What was reflected in the first mirror was Guyang's true form, a giant clam spirit shrouded in seven-colored rays of light.

Two jade-like clam shells and a ferocious dragon head, the smooth and tender clam meat all over the body is like a long skinned snake, with a golden thread extending from the back of the neck to the tip of the tail.

This is Guyang's most real body, an auspicious beast containing the blood of a mirage dragon.

What was reflected in the second mirror was an endless ocean. In the sea, a mirage the size of a continent was tumbling up and down, showing the domineering wildness of the ancient ferocious beast.

What appeared in the third mirror was an ordinary man with a plain appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Looking at the unhealthy sallow face and bulging belly, it proved that he was a very ordinary earthly man.

The fourth mirror didn't seem to have any magic. What it reflected was the appearance of the Dragon Prince created by Guyang using magic.

The four mirrors trapped Guyang like a cage, as if forcing Guyang to choose the right door.
