Chapter 42 Phoenix Nest
What tricks does this guy want to play? Ye Qianqiu was full of doubts and annoyed. But since he had come here, there was no reason to turn back, so he simply went with him and did not dare to do anything to himself.
Along the way, I was so tired that I was panting and sweating profusely. Unexpectedly, the elk was easy and effortless. After a while, they finally climbed the mountain.
Ye Qianqiu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, then gently stroked his forehead and rubbed his eyes. When he looked closely, he saw that the mountain was covered with green grass, yellow flowers were everywhere, either covering the valley, extending to the rock wall, surrounding green branches, leading vines, hanging on the top of the mountain, or passing through the rock gap. A row of redwood bloomed towards the blue sky. On the blue sky, seabirds circling and chirping, sometimes diving into the waves and pulling out a white fish, sometimes swirling and spreading their wings and cutting through the sky. A stream swayed down from the top of the mountain like a jade belt, the sound of water gurgling and tinkling, intertwining with the sound of birds and insects, like a nightingale, and melodious like a piano. A lively scene, beautiful and wonderful!
There is a poem that the flowers are gradually fascinating, and only the ascites can be lost. Ye Qianqiu was indeed confused by the glorious scene in front of him. At this moment, he felt like he was floating in the air. If the elk hadn't suddenly rushed to him and pushed him with his antler, he would have been intoxicated and would have been unable to break free for a while.
Then the elk suddenly bit Ye Qianqiu's hem and pulled him towards the rock wall ahead. Seeing this, Ye Qianqiu instantly understood that what was waiting for him might be on the rock wall.
Ye Qianqiu followed the elk to the rock wall quickly. Before he could stand firm, he heard the same sound of deer sounds coming from above his head. He looked up and suddenly found that there was a deer in a narrow crack groove on the rock wall. The elk was trembling at this moment, looking at him and the elk beside him with trembling all over. It was obviously unable to get out and asked him to help him.
It turned out that this guy was coming down the mountain to bring reinforcements, not to take him to find something. Thinking of this, Ye Qianqiu became depressed instantly.
But I have come here and I have seen it. If I don’t do anything, I will feel sorry for my conscience. OK, then I will help you this time.
I have to say that Ye Qianqiu's legs and feet are really good, with quick movements and flexible steps. Although the rock wall is too steep, it still has no effect on him. He used his hands and feet to stretch and contract freely. With the protrusions of the rock wall, he came to the groove without much effort. Seeing that he was coming so fast, the elk became happy instantly, rubbing his body excitedly, licking it constantly.
Ye Qianqiu couldn't help but gently caress the elk. This little guy was so cute.
Immediately afterwards, the elk went around and picked up a semi-circular colorful and shiny umbrella from the ground, and took it to Ye Qianqiu. Ye Qianqiu reached out to take it and took a closer look. Oh my God! Isn’t this the legendary seven-color Ganoderma lucidum?
It turned out that the elk came here for the Ganoderma lucidum, but it was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. After he came up, he pulled up the Ganoderma lucidum but found that he could not go down. So he was trapped here and could only let his companions go down the mountain for help. The only thing that was a little confused was, why did this elk want this Ganoderma lucidum? Does he also know the benefits of Ganoderma lucidum? But who is right? Maybe he really knows it.
"Okay, I'll take you down now." Ye Qianqiu knows the effects of Ganoderma lucidum. It's very difficult to meet on weekdays. Even if you have the chance to see it, you just look at the treasures that you tribute to the emperor as a foreign envoy in the palace, and you can't touch them at all. In addition, the Ganoderma lucidum you see in front of you is not ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, but the seven-color Ganoderma lucidum that is invisible. It belongs to the treasures, which have been produced in ten years and twenty years.
It has been matured for fifty years and has only grown in excellent Feng Shui. It is listed above, the dragon veins are on the steep cliff, and ordinary people will never meet each other in their lifetime. Such a rare and rare magical object, but I didn’t expect that it would appear in front of me so naked today. It is really a blessing in all my life. With this seven-color Ganoderma lucidum, it is no problem to live forever and prolong life. It seems that my wandering on the deserted island this time is not a bad thing, but it is a blessing in disguise.
After a while, I would have fun with them. Maybe they would give this Ganoderma lucidum to themselves as a thank you. When Ye Qianqiu thought of this, he became very happy.
Then Ye Qianqiu picked up the elk with one hand and held it around his waist, reached to the protrusion on the rock wall and grabbed it tightly, stepped on the edge of the crack in the rock wall, and began to climb down.
After all, there was a heavy object on his body, and he was not as light as before, and there was a treasure in his arms, so he could not be careless at all, so he had to climb carefully little by little. After nearly dozens of minutes, he finally landed on the ground smoothly.
When the silver-white elk saw that his companion returned safely, it immediately rushed forward and stuck with it. Sometimes it churned on the ground, sometimes it jumped into the air, and sometimes it was having fun fighting and making fun.
Ye Qianqiu carefully picked up the Ganoderma lucidum from his arms, for fear that it would cause damage to it with excessive force, so he immediately put it on his palm with both hands and prepared to watch it carefully.
It was really bad. Unexpectedly, before he even finished reading the skin of the Ganoderma lucidum, a majestic goshawk flew from the air. The goshawk suddenly opened his claws and grabbed the Ganoderma lucidum, and then flew forward.
This is great! The treasure I had longed for day and night and even dreamed of was taken away by a bird. It was really annoying. No, I had to take it back! Even if I chased him to the ends of the world, I would have to take him back! Otherwise, I would really not be able to swallow this! Thinking of this, Ye Qianqiu immediately shook his arms and chased him wildly. Seeing this, the two elks followed him and followed closely behind.
What is strange is that the goshawk did not seem to be in a hurry to fly away, but deliberately teased him, flying slowly in front of Ye Qianqiu, neither leaving Ye Qianqiu's sight nor making him unable to touch himself at all. This made Ye Qianqiu so anxious that he jumped straight and swear loudly, only regretting that he had no wings and could not fight him in heaven.
Finally, the goshawk flew to a quiet place where flowers and plants were extremely lush, and there were many wild bees and butterflies flying around it, and then it began to hover in the air.
"Give me back the Ganoderma lucidum!" Ye Qianqiu also quickly followed, jumping back and forth on the flowers and plants in anger, shouting to the hawk with sweat on his head.
Unexpectedly, the goshawk seemed to have this intention. As soon as Ye Qianqiu finished speaking, he slowly flapped his wings and flew towards him, and was about to land in front of Ye Qianqiu.
It was at this moment that a "wow" sound suddenly, a leopard with a bird's beak and horns rushed out from the side, and then quickly rushed towards the two elks behind him.
"Little Deer!" Ye Qianqiu shouted, and was about to turn around and rush over to protect it, he saw that the eagle had already landed five feet away in front of him. He could get Ganoderma lucidum by taking three or two steps forward, but the leopard had already opened its bloody mouth, and he was about to swallow the trembling elk in the next second. At this urgent moment, Ye Qianqiu did not hesitate at all. He clenched his fists and closed his eyes, and plucked up the courage to hit the leopard. Then, with a "boom", the leopard staggered and fell straight to the side.
"Run quickly!" Ye Qianqiu quickly stretched out his hands and slapped the two elks hard on the butts, then flew over and pressed on the leopard, swung his fist and smashed it on his head until the two elks disappeared from their own vision.
The leopard was completely unscathed under Ye Qianqiu's desperate beating. It was as safe as itchy as it had been scratched for dozens of seconds. Then he saw him raise his head and turn over and counterattack, grabbing Ye Qianqiu's chest with one claw, and then he saw streams of red blood gushing out of his chest and rolling onto the ground.
"Hiss..." Ye Qianqiu pulled open his sleeves, rubbed them into a ball, and blocked them on his chest. Then he looked back and saw that the leopard was about to pounce on him with his teeth and claws. At this moment, he could no longer care about that. He gritted his teeth and ran forward.
After a while, he returned to the center of the flower land. Although there was no cover in front of him, he seemed to be tripped by something under his feet. Then he fell heavily into the flowers and plants. For a moment, the grass leaves flew everywhere, the petals splashed, and the dust fluttered.
"Ah?! This is..." Suddenly, Ye Qianqiu felt that his body became light and soft, as if he was lying on a layer of thin ice, his whole body was shaking and almost falling.
Could it be...a trap?
But... why did I have nothing when I came here just now? Why did there suddenly a trap after only less than five minutes?
Ye Qianqiu really didn't expect that the flower land less than ten meters surrounded by flowers and plants was covered with layers of flowers, and such a strange structure was hidden in the flower land less than ten meters, which made him not even have the chance to react, and he fell down directly with the broken soil layer.
In an instant, Ye Qianqiu seemed to be in a dark and narrow stone path, and his whole body rolled in messily under the squeeze and friction of the stone wall.
After a while, the man finally fell back and fell into a puddle with his feet facing the sky. The clothes on his body had already been scratched and were covered in holes, and the visible parts of the skin were covered with blood.
Where is this place??
In just one day, he was first chased by monsters, and came to a flat continent that seemed to be in the mirror world. Then he followed the elk to the incredible top of the mountain, and then chased the eagle to the basin just now. Finally, he met another monster, and was chased by him to this dark, cold and wet ghost place.
It seems that luck is really a mess!
And that Ganoderma lucidum may never be met again in this life.
Why is it so unlucky? I just thought that this time it was a blessing in disguise and a good day was coming, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, everything disappeared and everything became empty.
As the saying goes, it is a blessing or not a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. Now that things have come to this, I have recognized it myself!
Although the cave was pitch black, if you listened with a small ear, you could still hear a drizzle of water. Ye Qianqiu held his breath and focused, and with this subtle sound, he crawled forward and groped forward.
During the journey, Ye Qianqiu could clearly feel the various haystacks and stones scattered around him, tangled and intertwined, emitting a pungent smell of mold. The ground was full of moss and ravines, and every step he took was trembling.
Fortunately, the environment here is just harsh and the atmosphere is gloomy. There are no jackals, tigers and leopards. Otherwise, Ye Qianqiu's weak little body would have been eaten alive by them.
Ye Qianqiu covered his chest tightly while groping forward carefully. The severe pain on his chest made him particularly sober.
The sound of water flowing closer and closer, and a light came out from the cracks of the rock. Ye Qianqiu seemed to see hope, and no longer cared about the scars and pains on his body and rushed forward with all his strength.
About two minutes later, Ye Qianqiu finally saw an old and dilapidated stone door ahead. With the mottled light and shadow, you can see two large birds engraved with similar phoenixes on the door, spreading their wings and hovering in the sky. In the center, several long-fading beast-headed tiles were inlaid. I don’t know what the purpose was. There are some strange and dense symbols on the edge, which are obscure and difficult to understand.
"Maybe there will be a way out when you open this door!" Ye Qianqiu was full of expectations, thinking that the exit was hidden behind the door.
Without further ado, in order to quickly escape from this ghost place, Ye Qianqiu opened his arms and used all his strength to push the stone door again.
It can be imagined that doing this is useless, and the stone gate is as stable as Mount Tai, without moving at all. Then Ye Qianqiu raised his foot and kicked it hard, but everything was still the same.
From this point of view, this door cannot be opened with brute force. There must be some mechanism hidden in it. You must see through the mechanism to settle it.
But where is this mechanism hidden?
Ye Qianqiu observed carefully on the stone gate, then gently fiddled with his hands a few times, then slowly closed his eyes, calmed down, and after thinking hard for a while, he suddenly realized.
It turns out that the tiles of the beast head in the middle of the stone gate are the key to this mechanism. The three beast heads are all ancient divine beasts, one is Bi Fang, and then Bai Ze, followed by Yingzhao. The pupils of the three beast heads are a mechanism. Press it down and then rotate it clockwise to the second mechanism, corresponding to the pictographic symbols in various directions of the edges. Then you will find that the pattern of the beast head pattern coincides with the pattern of the two big birds. Then you can touch the overlapping pattern with your fingertips, and you will see a copper handle extending from the crown feather of the big bird. This is the three mechanisms. Finally, the copper handle is pulled out with force, and the stone gate opens with a bang.
Ye Qianqiu is really well-versed in history, and is unpredictable to gods and ghosts. Even those pictographic symbols that you don’t understand can be inferred. He is actually a god!
According to the above method, it really worked. With a loud bang, the stone door slowly opened. Suddenly, a strong light penetrated inside, making him dizzy for several seconds and almost fainted.
Fortunately, it immediately returned to normal not long after, and then he widened his eyes and looked inside, as if the exit was right in front of him.
Unexpectedly, this look scared him to the point of being shocked. There was no exit in front of him, and there was not even a window, only the airtight stone chamber. In the center of the stone chamber, there were white rows of remains lying quietly.
Ye Qianqiu took a few steps back and leaned directly against the broken stone wall. At this moment, it seemed that even the air was about to solidify. The strange atmosphere made him panic.
After all, it is just a pile of bones. Ye Qianqiu has seen it several times on weekdays, but in the current environment, in such a sudden situation, anyone will be frightened.
After a moment, Ye Qianqiu finally recovered and took a deep breath. He knew that what he had to do at this moment was not to be afraid, because fear could not solve any problem, but would make your mood worse and worse, and he would die here in the end.
Thinking of this, Ye Qianqiu immediately pretended to be calm and pretended to be calm. Anyway, it was all death. It would be better to fight. Even if you rush over and be killed by a ghost, it would be better than being scared to death by trembling in this hustle and bustle!
Next he cheered up, clenched his fists, and slowly came to the row of bones.
Looking closely, although the arrangement of the bones is neat and orderly, it is still strange and abnormal. Ye Qianqiu wandered around the bones several times and finally discovered his strangeness. It turned out that this was not a human bone!
It looks more like the skeleton of a bird, but how could there be such a huge bird in the world? Could it be... This guy is the kind of thing that just appeared on the stone gate? Phoenix?
Although this stone room is hidden secretly and has a stone door that is hard to crack and is guarded by ordinary people, the stone room is still simple and ordinary, with no highlights. The stone room looks old, and the walls have been cut by the sharp blade of time, and the corners are covered with thick spider silk. There are only a few broken wooden tables and chairs in the eyes. It seems that there is no gold and silver treasure buried here. Could it be that the owner here before was a person who was pure and careless and indifferent to fame and fortune?
But what does this have to do with me? I have only one purpose at present, that is, to escape!
The pile of broken bird bones did not provide any help to myself except surprise me. At present, they could only find other ways to escape.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Qianqiu looked around with all his energy, and suddenly found a square crack on the stone wall in front of the right. The crack was as long as five inches in diameter, and surrounded by a dark-colored stone in the middle.
It was strange! Ye Qianqiu noticed the abnormality here at a glance. He flew forward and stretched out his hand to press the dark stone hard. He thought that there was another mechanism here and it needed to be cracked layer by layer before it could be opened. Unexpectedly, the moment he moved his hand away from the stone, with a "brush" sound, the stone suddenly bounced out of the stone wall.
It seems that the owner is also a person who is afraid of trouble, so he did some tricks on the door, but he didn't do much in the room.
Ye Qianqiu looked in and saw a small box hidden inside the stone! Then he stretched out his hand and gently took the small box out of the stone wall. When he opened the lid, he saw that there was a volume of ancient books shaking brightly in the box.
Strange, it's just a book, is it as for putting it in such a secret place?
Looking carefully at the cover of the ancient book, I saw five big characters written from top to bottom of the cover, which read: The Record of Gathering Spirits and Ascension to the Immortals.
