This cave is not a long and deep passage as Mu Jingyu thought before. Instead, he walked out of it without taking a few steps. But when the two people walked out, they were immediately shocked by the magnificent sight in front of them.
As far as the eye can see, there is a large expanse of rippling light blue lake water. Dots of stars and moonlight fall from the cracks in the mountain peaks and dot the lake surface, making it look dazzling.
In the middle of the lake, there stands a two-story palace with eight sides. Even from a distance of hundreds of feet, you can still see a plaque inscribed with Baozhaian embedded in the palace gate.
What surprised the two even more was that underneath the Baozhaian, there was actually a gurgling lake. There were no rocks, earth or trees, and it seemed to be floating on the lake.
Looking along the edge of the palace, the eight borders face eight directions. Countless duckweeds were densely spread along the edge, winding to the shore where the three of them were standing. Thinking about it, if you want to reach Baozhaian successfully, you need to step on the duckweed.
As for the remaining seven bridges made of duckweed, they extend all the way to the remaining shore, facing the other seven lotus terraces outside the cave. It seems that the entrance to Baozhaian is not just the one the three of them chose just now, but there are eight more entrances.
Mu Jingyu raised his head and looked around again. He saw that the entire golden peak was not made of a whole pile as seen from the outside. Instead, it was like a lotus platform cover, covering the entire mountain peak. This is why, along the eight lotus terraces, the place suddenly becomes extremely steep and towering into the clouds, which seems incompatible with the rocks below.
It's just that these rocks are extremely messy. They are pieced together here and there. Their shapes are quite irregular, ranging from big to small, thick to thin. It is firmly absorbed by a mysterious force, and the vegetation grows forever, so when people look at it from the outside, they think it is just one whole.
"The interior of the Golden Peak is actually completely empty! Such a magical sight is really eye-catching!" Mu Jingyu was stunned for a long time before exclaiming in surprise.
Even Qin Yunchuan was deeply shocked when he saw this magnificent scene: "Previously, I thought that Mount Emei, as a thousand-year-old sect, was not like the other sects with the wonders of heaven and earth! When I saw this today Only when you wait for the miraculous work to come true will you realize that your knowledge is shallow."
As a disciple of Emei, Yu Paopao saw the shocked look of the two people, and his self-esteem naturally rose: "Hahaha, Junior Brother Qin, please don't say that. I have been to your sect before, and the steep momentum of Tianjue Peak is unparalleled in the world. If you compare it with the Golden Peak of Mount Emei, you will definitely be much better."
After Mu Jingyu looked around, he withdrew his gaze and said, "Sister Yu, it seems that the peak above our heads is not completely integrated with the mountain below."
"That's of course." Yu Paopao said: "It is said that the Bafang Jade Lotus Platform thrown by the ancient saint back then fell into the ancient times and the only mountain peaks formed were the places we just reached. Is it just later? , and for some unknown reason, the gravel mountains within a hundred miles radius continued to gather here due to the attraction of mysterious power. Over time, a mountain peak like a pot lid was formed, pressing on it. Together with the vegetation that grew over time, this golden peak was finally formed.”
"The founder of our sect in Mount Emei did not discover this secret at the beginning. It was not until the third generation leader took charge of the Emei sect that he discovered this place by chance. After that, he built it in the middle of the lake A Baozhai Nunnery, where all the magic weapons, elixirs, exercises and other things accumulated through hard work are stored. It ultimately supported the Emei Sect and became one of the nine sects of the righteous path."
"So that's it, that's it!" After listening to this, Mu Jingyu and the two felt once again that it was no coincidence that the Emei Sect could achieve what it has today.
After the three of them entered here, they found that the surroundings were silent and there were no Emei disciples patrolling here. Qin Yunchuan asked curiously: "Senior Sister Yu, logically speaking, Baozhai'an is the important place of Emei's masters, and the guards should be stricter. Why do I feel that the situation here is even more lax than that of Qingyue'an." "
"You don't know something about this." Yu Paopao pointed to the lake not far away and said: "The lake you see in front of you is not a real lake. It is made up of countless innate water auras. Once there is an external enemy If you fly over rashly, without us stopping you, you will be stopped by these innate water auras."
"Ah, can't we go across the water?" Mu Jingyu said, "Then how do we get to Baozhai Nunnery?"
"Of course we will go over the duckweeds." Yu Paopao took the lead to the lake and pointed at the duckweeds in front of him and said, "Don't underestimate these duckweeds. Their bodies are alien species passed down from ancient times. In addition, being nourished by the innate water aura in the lake, it has already had its own aura. Under the cultivation of successive heads of our Emei Sect, eight lotus covered bridges were formed to connect this place with Baozhai Temple in the center of the lake."
"During the day, the disciples in the sect can move around as they please. But at night, the master will use secret techniques to arrange them, hiding all kinds of mysteries. If you don't know the specific secret technique arrangements, once you take the wrong step, the mechanism will be triggered. At that time , not only will they be attacked by tens of thousands of lotus flowers, but they will also be tightly surrounded by the lake. And the leader above will also rush over as soon as possible to capture the invading enemy."
Mu Jingyu looked up and saw a palace standing above Baozhai Temple, which must be where the head of Emei was. It's just that the surroundings were already dark, so I didn't notice it in time just now.
Qin Yunchuan asked: "Sister Yu, according to what you said, we don't know the layout of the Lotus Covered Bridge tonight, how should we enter Baozhai Nunnery?"
"Who says I don't know!" Yu Paopao shouted angrily: "Since Master was promoted to the Yuelong Temple Supervisor, Master Wuyue handed over this place to Master, and she re-disrupted it every day. , set up the layout of the Lotus Covered Bridge. Then notify the abbots of the other nunneries of the specific situation. It will be convenient for their disciples to go to Baozhai nunnery to look for things at night."
To say that the reason why Shangjiu Sect became the leader of the righteous path is not only because he occupied the blessed land of cave heaven and realized the unique skills that are superior to others. More importantly, it is inseparable from the hard training of generations of disciples.
Although the disciples of the Emei Sect are all women, when it comes to practicing this sect, their talent and tenacity are not much weaker than those of men.
Therefore, there are often disciples in various nunneries who have some insights during the day and take advantage of this energy to continue practicing. Sometimes they stay up all night, or even sit in seclusion and meditate for several days.
As Bao Zhai An, which stores various genius treasures of the sect and countless techniques of the sect, it is inevitable that these disciples who practice all night will come to look for what they need.
Although Qin Yunchuan is a disciple of Jiuhua, among the disciples of the two sects, there are many disciples who practice hard. So after hearing this, I couldn't help but worry and said: "Senior Sister Yu, the situation you mentioned also exists in our Jiuhua Sect. It's just that in Baozhai Temple, there are disciples of your sect looking for exercises or elixirs. As for the medicine...then if we go in rashly, won’t we be discovered?”
Yu Paopao helplessly shrugged and said: "There is no way around it. So, we can only pray that no one will come to Baozhai Nunnery tonight. If we really meet someone, I can only come forward." Zhou Xuan, then quietly send you back to Qingyue Nunnery, and wait until tomorrow night."
Mu Jingyu rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's take advantage of the fact that there is no one here, go in quickly and get the Tianxiang wood and leave. If we really meet someone, we won't be able to get anything smoothly tonight. I don’t want to stay in Qingyuean’s warehouse for a whole day.”
Seeing Mu Jingyu hurriedly about to step onto the lotus platform, Yu Paopao quickly grabbed him and shouted: "Jingyu, don't panic! These lotus covered bridges have changed their formation. If you step on them rashly, what will happen?" It's a big deal! I will lead the way later, and you will follow behind me. Watch me step on that lotus flower, then step on that one, and you must not make any mistakes."
Although things like these are secrets in the Emei Sect, only Master Su Xi and the heads of various nunneries and supervisors know about them. But as Master Su Xi's most valued disciple, Yu Paopao had long known that after she arranged the Lotus Covered Bridge every day, she would write down the specific path in writing and keep it in a secret place in her room.
Yu Paopao took advantage of the daytime to read it quietly and memorized the tips, waiting to be used here.
After thinking about it silently in his mind, Yu Paopao landed lightly on the lotus platform in front of him. Not only did Yu Paopao, who landed on it, feel uneasy, but Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan on the shore also had their hearts in their throats. After nothing unusual happened, the three of them exhaled softly at the same time.
Seeing that the first time was successful, Yu Paopao found that his secret method was correct. He spotted the next lotus platform and jumped over it. At the same time, he turned around and shouted to the two of them: "Look at the lotus platform where I will stay. Don't step on it." Wrong!"
Mu Jingyu said: "Brother Qin, you follow Sister Yu first, and I will be the last one to follow. If anything happens to you, I can rescue you in time."
Mu Jingyu relied on his innate spiritual treasures and the techniques taught by the drunkard, and was undoubtedly the most accomplished among the three. Being left behind to deal with possible accidents is the best option.
Qin Yunchuan nodded, now he can still compete with him. Besides, even if I wanted to fight, I couldn't.
As the three people landed on the lotus platform one after another, the originally calm lake rippled slightly. As they walked carefully through the Qianyu Lotus Terrace, Yu Paopao, who was leading the way, was afraid that he would make a wrong step and arouse the vigilance of the formation. Her back was already covered with sweat, and one could imagine how stressed she was at this moment.
Fortunately, after walking through two-thirds of the Lotus Covered Bridge, there were no accidents. However, the hundreds of lotus terraces that were originally floating in front of them were suddenly rotated by a rapid current, causing Yu Paopao's previously optimistic path to become chaotic.
"The most dangerous stage is now ahead. The lotus platform will be driven by the water flow and float disorderly. You must be alert and don't have any accidents here."
After Yu Paopao warned the two of them again, like a strong wind, he landed steadily on a flowing lotus platform. Then, without waiting for his body to stand still, he flew up again and flew towards the next lotus platform.
Qin Yunchuan stared closely at the place where Yu Paopao landed. As soon as she got up from the lotus platform at her feet, he followed her and jumped past without any hesitation. Mu Jingyu, who was at the back, followed the same example, and the three of them moved closer to Baozhai'an one after another.
Seeing that after passing two or three lotus terraces and about to fall into Baozhai Temple, an accident happened suddenly.
Qin Yunchuan had seen the right time and was about to land on the lotus platform that Yu Paopao had just stepped on, when a turbulent current surged out from nowhere and blew the lotus platform away. The next lotus platform immediately occupied the place where he originally wanted to stay.
Qin Yunchuan, who was in mid-air, wanted to change direction, but it was already too late. After exclaiming in surprise, he fell towards the wrong lotus platform.
"Brother Qin, don't panic, I'm here to help you!" At the critical moment, Mu Jingyu, who was following behind, stabilized his figure, stretched out his left wrist, and the Dingzi Spiritual Pearl suddenly appeared, and shot towards Qin Yunchuan. .
Just a little bit away, Qin Yunchuan's toes were about to touch the lotus platform, and his feet were fixed in place by the spirit beads.
Mu Jingyu took advantage of this opportunity and jumped down onto the lotus platform that was floating away. His feet flew up again. Amidst Yu Paopao's exclamation, he landed on the lotus platform that she had just left.
The word-absorbing spirit bead on his wrist flashed with light, and after absorbing Qin Yunchuan from afar, he threw him onto the correct lotus platform.
Yu Paopao, who landed first at Baozhai Temple, finally calmed down after seeing this scene.
