You only like my face

Chapter 13

After the two fell, the surface of the lake returned to calm in an instant.

The sky is blue and the clouds are light.

The calm lake is like a mirror, making it impossible to tell which side is the real sky.

The willow tree in the center of the lake is still there, and the thousands of silk ribbons hanging down are gently swaying in the wind, and the white catkins are floating all over the lake.

It is impossible to see that the sky and the earth have changed color before, not to mention the two cold iron chains that suddenly appeared from the center of the lake. I am afraid that no one will believe it.

Except Ye Ziqing standing by the lake.

Ye Ziqing stood by the lake, put on his mask, and stared quietly at the calm lake.

It was him just now who kicked down the two senior brothers who were still struggling.

There is also a reason why Mrs. Hu led the two of them here.As I said before, there is a reason why the ancient divine beast Bai Ze was sealed here, and this reason may only be known at the bottom of the lake.

When in Yunshui City, in order to subdue Bai Ze, Ye Ziqing rummaged through ancient books and discovered this lake from a few words; and from various unofficial biographies, he knew that the owner of the lake bottom was related to Bai Ze, as for what the connection was Ye Ziqing doesn't care, he only cares about the identity of the master——

In any case, he is an ancient monk.

What did an ancient monk think?

It means that there are countless treasures and things that can only be found in ancient times in his cave, and the Nuwa stone that Ye Ziqing is looking for has not been found for thousands of years. He hopes that Mu Tianqi or Mrs. Hu can find it from inside. Come up with some clues.

Raising his right hand, with a wave, a red heart appeared in Ye Ziqing's hand.

Ye Ziqing held the heart close in his hand, seeing that it was still beating, he couldn't help chuckling: "It's your fate."

Then suddenly turned cold, and ordered to it:

"Find Mu Tianqi and follow him."

In the labyrinth of the secret place at the bottom of the lake, at the same time as Ye Ziqing gave the order, Madam Hu froze, her pupils shrank to the size of a pinprick, and then suddenly returned to normal.

***************

In the labyrinth at the bottom of the lake, the passage of time is unknown.

Relying on the memories of his previous life, Mu Tianqi led Gu Qingyuan to the center of the maze, where the master of the maze was buried for the last time.

Although Mu Tianqi tried his best to avoid all kinds of traps in the underground palace this time, what should come will still come:

When passing the ghost lotus pond, Mu Tianqi told Gu Qingyuan not to touch the ghost lotus or water in the pond.

"Why?" Gu Qingyuan asked.

In front of the two of them, a whole pool of blue lotus flowers was in full bloom, and the cyan water flowed around the blue lotus flowers and flowed under the pontoon on the water.

Dreamy.

Mu Tianqi said: "That's not a lotus. It's the underworld fire inhabiting there. It looks like a lotus. If you accidentally startle them, the underworld fire will wake up and burn the nearby creatures."

Gu Qingyuan looked at the ghost lotus, which was almost indistinguishable from the real lotus, and asked, "How do you know so much?"

"Do not ask."

"……it is good."

On the pontoon bridge, the two of them were in high spirits, but when they reached the center, it seemed like the sky was joking, and a stone fell from the sky broke the calm.

In an instant, the blue lotus in the ghost lotus pond turned into flames, forming a sea of ​​flames above the blue water, and the floating sparks floated in mid-air, like fireflies in summer.

But the two knew that everything was not so romantic and beautiful.

The two escaped later, and Mu Tianqi accidentally captured a thousand-year-old underworld fire essence, at the cost of his senior brother being injured.

If Mu Tianqi was burned by the fire, he might be fine; but Gu Qingyuan is different, his physique is ice spirit root, water and fire can restrain each other, and the fire will hurt Gu Qingyuan much more than Mu Tianqi imagined.

Now Gu Qingyuan lost all his spiritual power, and his mouth and nose were even bleeding slowly.

Holding Gu Qingyuan aside, Mu Tianqi almost collapsed, apologizing to Gu Qingyuan one after another, crying bitterly:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I should have been hurt, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Ming Huo Huo Jing didn't know, so he circled around his master, and then clung to the wall beside him, pretending that he was a lamp.

Startled by Mu Tianqi's sudden apology, Gu Qingyuan, who was already seriously injured internally, became even more irritable: "Enough! I was injured by accident, why are you bothering?"

"Eldest brother doesn't blame me?"

"Why do I blame you?" Gu Qingyuan tried to stand up leaning on the Qingshuang sword, and reprimanded Mu Tianqi, "Don't always blame everything on yourself, my cause is my result, and has nothing to do with you ,understand?"

It was the first time that Mu Tianqi heard this kind of statement, he was stunned, he wanted to tell the senior brother everything, and told the senior brother that he should have been injured here;

But he was afraid that the elder brother would not believe it, so he silently wiped away his tears under the gaze of the elder brother, and nodded: "Yes."

Huo Jing: "Hey?"

Across the Ghost Lotus Pond is the tomb of the owner at the bottom of the lake.

The fire spirit floated into the tomb first, and shuttled playfully back and forth between the bookcases in the tomb, leaving a blue light trail, and finally fell on a candlestick, illuminating the entire tomb.

After the lights were turned on, Gu Qingqian looked around the tomb, and saw that the entire tomb was filled with high and low curved wooden cabinets, layer upon layer, and with the various things put on it, it looked even more indistinct. The center is covered up.

Different from Gu Qingyuan's behavior of carefully looking at the outermost layer after entering, Mu Tianqi was in stark contrast to him. He went straight around the bookcase and walked towards the innermost layer:

a desk.

There is even an unfinished scroll of bamboo slips on the table, which is half spread out on the table.

Without hesitation, without even checking, Mu Tianqi directly took off the candlestick on the table, opened the base, and got a red elixir from it. After confirming that it was correct, he was ready to walk towards the position of the elder brother ;

After walking two steps, Mu Tianqi suddenly stopped, looked back at the desk hesitantly, gritted his teeth and released Bai Ze.

The released Bai Ze stood on the desk in a daze, looking at Mu Tianqi suspiciously.

Mu Tianqi lowered his eyes, avoiding Bai Ze's gaze, and said, "This is the tomb of your former master, please take a good look."

Hearing what Mu Tianqi said, Bai Ze's golden pupils stared wide open.

Holding the red pill and walking to Gu Qingyuan, Mu Tianqi said: "Brother, this pill can temporarily suppress your injury, take it."

"Huh?" Gu Qingyuan took the elixir, observed it in his palm for a long time, then glanced at Mu Tianqi suspiciously, hesitated again and again, and then swallowed the elixir;

And as soon as the elixir went down his throat, Gu Qingyuan felt a cool feeling spread in his body, it seemed that it overshadowed the unbearable burning feeling before, and the pimple that had been wrinkling between his eyebrows was finally untied.

After the medicine took effect, Gu Qingyuan felt even more strange, but he was keenly aware that Mu Tianqi didn't want to talk about it, so he thoughtfully covered it up, and nodded to Mu Tianqi:

"Ah."

Seeing that Gu Qingyuan had improved, Mu Tianqi heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly signaled his brother to go to the center of the tomb, and at the same time he walked first to lead the way:

"There is a teleportation array here, let's go out first, the antidote for this dark fire can only be found in Wugu—"

"Mu Tianqi."

"I know you have a lot of questions, brother, let's go out and talk about it."

"Mu Tianqi, Madam Hu."

Hearing what Gu Qingyuan said, Mu Tianqi, who was walking in a hurry, stopped suddenly, and turned around in surprise: "Madam Hu?"

Seeing that both of them finally turned their attention to this side, Mrs. Hu, who appeared at some unknown time, sighed to them, "I finally found you."

She stood at the door of the tomb, leaning on the wall with one hand, and threw the dragged person to the ground with the other.

At this moment, only half of Madam Hu's face was left, and the edge of the remaining half of the face was scorched black, but her beautiful facial features were clearly visible, and she was smiling creepily at the two of them;

Her body was fine, but there were also multiple burns. The hand she held on to the wall had only bones left, and her fingertips scratched the bricks, and the white bones were blackened by dust.

Mu Tianqi's face was cold, and his tone was cold: "Mrs. Hu, you have no chance of winning now."

In his eyes, the current Mrs. Hu is just a paper-strewn lantern, or the kind that was half burned. If he wants to solve her, he doesn't need to take action at all, just let Bai Ze come.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Hearing what Mu Tianqi said, Mrs. Hu suddenly laughed nervously. The laughter was accompanied by the creaking sound of her body shaking, echoing in the empty tomb, which sounded particularly pervasive, "So what? I want Kill you! I must kill you!"

After she finished speaking, she staggered towards the two of them, but because most of the muscles in her body had been lost, her movements were uncoordinated, and she fell to the ground with a "slap" after not taking a few steps.

The bones hit the ground with a crisp sound.

Looking at all this, Gu Qingyuan suddenly sympathized with Mrs. Hu for some reason.

But his sympathy was nothing more than standing still.

Anyway, he's gone.

"Brother, let's go."

Mu Tianqi saw that Mrs. Hu had trouble walking, so he didn't take Mrs. Hu's threat to heart. He was about to pull away the elder brother, but Mrs. Hu suddenly raised her head and twisted her face at the two of them. After a while, he suddenly said with another extremely calm expression:

"Come on."

It's as if that crazy Mrs. Hu from before was someone else.

Mu Tianqi was stunned for a moment: "You..."

After saying this, Madam Hu returned to her expressionless face, sat up from the ground, and under the gaze of the two of them, she thrust the hand that had become a bone bone into the ground.

When everyone thought that the bone hand would break off, the ground was like a piece of tender tofu under Madam Hu's hands. The bone hand was unimpeded, and the ground was inserted deeply in an instant. It starts to melt.

Gu Qingyuan was the first to react, his expression changed, and he immediately pulled Mu Tianqi towards the teleportation array he had mentioned before:

"She's going to kill us."

As if to confirm Gu Qingyuan's words, when his words fell, countless white bone spikes sprung up one after another like mushrooms after rain.

The author has something to say: Well, I forgot to explain:

Ye Ziqing has a skill, which is digging hearts (as mentioned in Chapter 1). Many people think that he digs out people's hearts, and then wins other people's cultivation, but it is not like this:

For those whose cultivation base is lower than his own, Ye Ziqing can dig out the heart of that person,

The person whose heart has been dug out will not die after the heart is separated from the body, Ye Ziqing can control the person with the heart in his hand, it can be seen that Hu Sheng can control the person's words and even actions.

Madam Hu is a bit schizophrenic, because Ye Ziqing took her heart and gave orders to her heart, she can't resist, but sometimes she still has her own consciousness.
