The road under your feet felt as soft as a long carpet, and the surroundings were dark and dull. However, there were small shells on both sides of the road that emitted a faint light, illuminating the surroundings.
Lingchu followed the giant turtle and walked towards the depths of the lake.
The lake water behind them slowly closed in the center of the statue as one person and one turtle advanced, blocking all sight outside the lake.
Deep in the lake is an elegant courtyard. The courtyard and the lake seem to be two worlds. Lingchu followed the giant turtle through the door of the courtyard, and the passage behind him completely disappeared, leaving only a quiet lake.
Looking from the courtyard, Lingchu could even see a lot of fish swimming freely in the water.
But inside the courtyard, the scenery is the same as on the shore. There are also many flowers planted in the courtyard, and bursts of fragrance come to you.
The giant turtle led Lingchu to stop in front of a small courtyard, bowed his head respectfully towards the courtyard, and then left here step by step.
After the giant turtle left, the door of the small courtyard slowly opened to both sides, revealing a pond full of lotus flowers.
And in the center of the pond, there is a lotus plant that is obviously different from other lotuses.
There are actually three lotuses of different colors blooming on one plant.
Three flowers per plant?
Lingchu's surprised eyes fell on the strange swaying lotus plant in the center of the lotus pond, thinking deeply.
As if the wind was blowing, the strange lotus swayed slightly, and an illusory smoke-like shadow appeared on the lotus.
It was a young girl, with two simple braids on her chest, and a petal-like long skirt that enveloped the girl like a gauze.
The girl curled up and closed her eyes tightly, like a baby wrapped in layers of lotus shadows.
As if falling into a deep sleep.
When Lingchu stepped into the small courtyard, the girl's eyelashes wrapped in the shadow of lotus trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her sleeping eyes.
What kind of eyes are those, as clear and clean as a newborn baby, untainted by any dust in this world.
Just looking at you quietly is enough to make your heart tremble.
However, those clear and clean eyes became like a broken mirror in just a moment, overflowing with a dark color.
In another moment, those eyes were once again as clear and clean as when they first met.
Lingchu's figure was reflected.
"You came?"
The girl raised her head and looked at Lingchu, with a hint of joy in her eyes.
The sound is ethereal and soft.
"Are you...Senior Sixiang Hanlian?" Sixiang Hanlian was born hundreds of years ago. To Lingchu, he was indeed regarded as a senior.
The girl blinked, tilted her head and smiled, "That's my true body, my name is Qing Ji."
Lingchu's eyes glanced at the three-color lotus plant under the girl's body, "Senior Qingji."
"You came to me, and those people on the shore, all because of that golden eagle, right?" Qing Ji obviously did not explain her name, but directly talked about the business.
"Exactly, since senior already knew about the golden eagle, why did he hide it? But is it related to the disappearance of senior... the white lotus?" Lingchu's eyes were like lightning, and his words were equally straightforward.
The four-phase lotus plant should be a plant with four flowers, blue, white, pink and purple. However, the four-phase lotus plant in the lotus pond now has three flowers, only blue, pink and purple, and the white lotus is missing. .
Qing Ji smiled slightly, the smile on her face was bright and innocent, as if she had no scheming, she nodded cheerfully, "Yes, because Yue Ji is dead, Zi Ji is asleep, Dan Ji is very angry, I don't know what to do. , just stay at home, and everything will be fine in Lianhua County, right?"
This short paragraph seems to reveal a lot of things.
Lingchu's eyes fell on Qingji's innocent face. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Finally, he slowly said, "Senior, can you tell me what happened here?"
Qingji's eyes fell on the Sanqing disciple token on Lingchu's waist. She did not answer immediately, but stretched out her hand to point to the token, "Can you show me your token?"
Sanqing disciple token?
Lingchu took off the token, wrapped it with spiritual power, and sent it to Qing Ji.
Qingji took the token and didn't know what she was playing with. She returned the token to Lingchu, "Is it the real Sanqing token? Are you still a true disciple of Sanqing? Ziji said that you can only see Sanqing." The monk."
"The golden eagle was killed by Zi Ji. It was possessed by Yue Ji. It was Yue Ji who discovered it. Normally, Yue Ji and Zi Ji are in charge of matters in Lianhua County. Yue Ji said that there was something wrong with the golden eagle. It didn't look like she had become a demon through cultivation, but like she had been invaded by demonic energy. She was very worried, so she and Zi Ji checked the entire Lianhua County. As a result, they found a cave in Lianhua County with an altar inside. Yue Ji said that it was The demon clan’s altar is specially used for teleportation.”
Qing Ji was like a student reciting an article, but when she mentioned Tsuki Ji, her mood dropped obviously.
An altar for demonic teleportation?
Lingchu's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and his expression became more serious with Qingji's words.
This means that the demons have penetrated into Jiu Ming Prefecture?
"I dare to ask, why did Senior Yue Ji..."
"We investigated the matter and found out that Zi Ji killed the other party, but was also injured. The altar was opened and the demonic energy came out. Yueji can purify the demonic energy. She directly suppressed the altar with her body. We are one Si Sheng, Yue Ji... were separated from the body, Zi Ji was seriously injured and fell asleep, and Dan Ji and I were very weak..."
Qing Ji's temperament seems to be very simple. From Qing Ji's description, Zi Ji should be the most capable of fighting among the four, Yue Ji should be the smartest, and Dan Ji seems to have a bad temper.
"Senior Yue Ji is a righteous person. I wonder if senior knows the location of that altar?"
Lingchu was silent for a moment, feeling a faint respect for Yue Ji, whom he had never met before.
But what is more important at this moment is obviously the altar.
"Well, Yue Ji left a map. Zi Ji said that she would give the map to the monks of Sanqing Dao Sect. We originally planned to go to Sanqing Dao Sect in person after the period of weakness, but we didn't expect you to come first."
For the first time, Qingji stood up from the shadow of the lotus, reached out and gently brushed the purple lotus under her body, and then pulled out a moon-white lotus petal.
Reluctantly touching the white petals, Qingji held the petals in her hands, like a light smoke floating in front of Lingchu, "These are Yueji's petals. The location of the altar is recorded on it. If you can't find it, you can't find it." You can use this petal to find Yue Ji’s true form.”
After finishing speaking, when handing it to Lingchu, Qingji did not forget to warn, "You must take good care of it, these are Yueji's petals!"
Lingchu discovered that just as it floated in front of him, Qingji's figure became a little more transparent. There were four flowers attached to one plant. Not only were the four flowers one powerful, it was also destined that once one flower fell, the rest would be destroyed. The three flowers will also be greatly weakened.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
