"Are you thinking too much? Even you, a tall heron, are still alive. How could anything happen to me?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind, and Murong Lian answered overjoyed:
"Ye Congwen, are you still alive?"
"As long as you two show mercy, I will definitely live a long life!"
Ye Congwen said dissatisfiedly that he was like a landlubber, thinking that everyone else was just like him, and then it rained heavily, making everyone look like the end of the world.
Yelling and crying, she still looks like the eldest lady of Duke Zhu's mansion.
"Hey, weren't you in front of us? When did you run to the back?"
Nangong Feifei took a look at Ye Congwen and the other three, and found that the bow of the small wooden boat was wrapped with a thick layer of monster skin, which was both impermeable and elastic. Even if it hit a rock, it would be split open with just a flick.
The raincoats on the three of them were all spread out, covering the cabin, just like holding an umbrella on the small wooden boat. Naturally, there was no need to desperately scoop out water.
None of the three people rowed with wooden oars, which proves that Ye Congwen chose to go with the flow and drift with the current. Didn't they resist?
When he wanted to ask clearly, he was afraid that Ye Congwen would laugh at him, so he could only bury the question deep in his heart.
"There are so many backwaters in this creek, and you haven't encountered any of them?"
Ye Congwen asked curiously, but when he thought about the state of the two people just now, he probably only did two things along the way, yelling and scooping water.
Suddenly, I felt relieved. With this aptitude and courage, it would only take a matter of minutes for me to find the secret passage and get rid of them. Ye Congwen immediately stopped arguing with them and changed places with Jia Zhenzhu, letting her row the boat while he retreated to the middle to look for the secret passage.
"Just follow us."
Ye Congwen gave instructions and asked Jia Zhenzhu to slow down. Flash floods broke out and the water flow in the river became larger and larger. The small wooden boat floated up and down on the water like fallen leaves, and seemed to capsize several times. .
Looking behind them, Nangong Feifei and Murong Lian were frightened, but Ye Congwen and the other two acted as if nothing was wrong. They were still pointing and discussing whether there was a treasure hidden in the mountain.
The two of them knew that their skills were not up to par, so they could only row the boat honestly and follow carefully. They almost didn't dare to raise their heads along the way, let alone look for the ruins of the ancient saint.
It wasn't until noon that Ye Congwen paddled into the big river marked on the residual map. The river was three or four miles wide, and the green water was clear and calm.
This made Murong Lian and Nangong Feifei find a familiar feeling. This calm and gentle river was like a lake in a reed marsh. They instantly regained their confidence. The two decided to find an opportunity to show off their talents and let Ye Congwen and others start. Eye-opening.
Ye Congwen used the compass to determine the direction, and went downstream to look for the mountains where the Yuesheng Palace ruins appeared. Along the way, he carefully searched for creeks and pools that might hide secret passages. It took him two hours of paddling to reach the back of that area. .
Four towering mountains stand at the four corners of the east, west, north and south. In the middle is a lake formed by the accumulation of river water. The river flows around the foot of the four mountains and flows out in the original direction.
As soon as Bian Wanqing saw this large lake, he became excited. If Ye Congwen's prediction was correct, the secret passage leading to the Yuesheng Palace ruins should be in this lake.
"Calm down and don't show your weakness."
Seeing that Bian Wanqing's nails had dug into the back of his hand, Ye Congwen quickly reminded him in a low voice.
Bian Wanqing suddenly realized that the two outsiders, Murong Lian and Nangong Feifei, were still here. If they followed in, the holy beast bone pattern would not necessarily be hers.
Slowly let go of your hand and asked quietly:
"What should we do now? If I had known, I wouldn't have brought them here."
"Don't worry, there are still many things to confirm, such as where is the specific location of the secret passage? What can be used to open the secret passage? We don't know anything. Besides, if it is not the secret passage leading to the Moon Saint Palace, what if it is a secret passage? Where is the entrance to the underground river?"
Ye Congwen decided to climb to the top of the mountain first and carefully observe the Five Elements and Bagua directions corresponding to the Moon Saint Palace.
Bian Wanqing also calmed down. This was indeed a problem. If he couldn't find a way to open the secret passage, he would only be disappointed.
Besides, if it's just an underground river and you jump into it rashly, wouldn't that mean you're going to die?
I was so confused at the moment that I had to rely on Ye Congwen to find a solution. He nodded and asked puzzledly:
"Then what are you going to do now?"
"First climb to the top of the mountain and see Yuesheng Palace up close before making a decision. We have been waiting for more than ten days, and it is not less than a day or two. This is related to the lives of the three of us. It is better to be cautious and safe in everything. ."
Ye Congwen said quietly.
"Ye Congwen, there is a big lake here. You said that the Yuesheng Palace ruins can appear in the sky. Is it reflected by the lake water?"
Murong Lian gently approached the boat and asked on a whim.
"It's possible. How about you watch from below, and we can go to the top of the mountain and compare it to see what the reason is."
Ye Congwen had an idea and decided to keep Jia Zhenzhu behind to keep an eye on her. If anything unusual appeared in this lake, it would not be able to escape her eyes.
"Forget it then. I also want to go to the top of the mountain to see the Yuesheng Palace ruins. It's very close to the sky. Maybe I can climb directly up there?"
Murong Lian shook her head and refused. Along the way, she was so frightened that her legs were shaking. Anyway, from now on, I will guard Ye Congwen every step of the way. After wandering around for a whole morning, I finally understood a truth:
The survival rate is higher if you follow Ye Congwen than if you follow Nangong Feifei! Although Nangong Feifei is stronger than Ye Congwen.
"Don't waste time. We have to climb to the top of the mountain before the sun sets, otherwise we will miss the Yuesheng Palace ruins."
Nangong Feifei had long been tired of floating in this fast river, and she felt no sense of security at all. Only by going to land could she regain the confidence of a ten-year-old master with bronze skin and iron bones.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately climbed up the mountain. Ye Congwen signaled Bian Wanqing to put away the small wooden boat, jumped to the shore, and followed Nangong Feifei to climb to the top of the mountain.
The five people rode up the mountain, and within an hour they reached the mountainside. Ye Congwen stood on the cliff and looked out, only to see that the foot of the mountain in the distance was densely packed with people fighting against the monsters. There were hundreds of people.
"The descendants of the hidden sect and the direct grandson and granddaughter of the county prince's palace are also here!"
Jia Zhenzhu sighed at the side, with some worries in her eyes. With so many people and so many masters in the copper-skinned and iron-bone realm, how could Ye Congwen deal with them by himself? After all, he and Bian Wanqing were too weak to be of any help.
Nangong Feifei paused after hearing this, and she and Murong Lian walked aside and took a look. They found that the crowd had grown three times bigger, and they immediately guessed who was coming.
Nangong Feifei was afraid that the descendants of the Hidden World Sect would take advantage of her absence to kill the other disciples of the Duke of Zhu Kingdom, so she struck a big tree on her cliff three times with her palms. She only heard a click and the giant tree collapsed. Fell down the cliff.
When Ye Congwen and others were wondering, they saw Nangong Feifei shouting loudly:
"Hello - brothers and sisters of Duke Zhu's Mansion, Murong Lian and I are waiting for you on the top of the mountain!"
The disciples of Duke Zhu's Mansion who were fighting monsters at the foot of the mountain noticed the movement on the mountainside. When they heard Nangong Feifei's shouting, they immediately said excitedly:
"The two of them went around to the top of the mountain from behind! They succeeded! Haha, after all, this ancient holy site fell into the hands of our Lord Zhuguo!"
"Yes, once Nangong Feifei and Murong Lian get the Holy Beast Bone Patterns and Holy Level Skills, we will ask some street rats not to get a single spot at the Genius Festival the year after tomorrow!"
The heirs of the Hidden World Sect knew as soon as they heard that these enemies were talking about themselves, and they all whispered among themselves to make plans, believing that the treasures of the Yuesheng Palace must not fall into the hands of the children of the Duke of Zhuguo.
He turned his head and shouted to the grandson of the county prince's palace:
"The ruins of the Ancient Saint are about to be visited by Murong Lian and Nangong Feifei first. Do we want to take another chance? Even if we don't get it, we can't give them an advantage!"
The grandsons and granddaughters of the county prince's palace all expressed their opinions that they could not let the children of the Duke of Zhuguo succeed. There were a total of fifty places in the Chaos Academy. The top ten were always occupied by the four major royal families and Buddhism and Taoism. The other forty The quota is divided equally among the three families of Zhuguo Gongfu's Hidden Sect and the County Prince's Mansion.
Once Nangong Feifei and Murong Lian obtain the elixir of heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the ancient sage ruins, they will not only advance to the level of bronze-skinned iron-bone perfection, but will also use treasures such as soul-nourishing lotus to help ordinary disciples of the Zhuguo Duke's mansion advance to the level of bronze-skinned iron-bone. If you are in a different situation, then won’t you have to grab your own spot when the time comes?
Either three families can enter the Ancient Saint Ruins together, or no one can enter!
"This is exactly the reason! Brothers and sisters of the Hidden World Sect, let's get Murong Lian and Nangong Feifei down first!"
The descendant of the Hidden World Sect nodded, and prepared to forcefully break through the blockage of the Hong-level monsters, and even if there were a few casualties, he would send the masters of the two sects to the top of the mountain.
Just as everyone was using their special skills to prepare for a life-and-death fight with the monsters, suddenly the Hong-level monsters let out a long roar, turned around and ran away.
"All the Hong-level monsters have been attracted to you, Nangong Feifei, are you satisfied now? If these Hong-level monsters come to the top of the mountain later, I will immediately take Bian Wanqing and Jia Zhenzhu to escape!"
Ye Congwen suddenly became angry. If it weren't for Murong Lian's sake, he would have kicked the woman off the cliff.
"Feifei, what are you doing? Let's go up to the top of the mountain quietly. What if there is some teleportation formation up there that can send us to the ruins of the ancient saint?"
When Murong Lian saw Ye Congwen getting angry, she felt very helpless. Who wouldn't feel angry when meeting such an out-of-touch person?
"What do you know? If the two of us are not here, what if the descendants of the Hidden World Sect and the people from the County Prince's Mansion besiege the children of the Duke of Zhuguo? The sixty or seventy of them are all masters of the copper-skinned and iron-bone realm. Once they move, Come on, who can rescue them?"
Nangong Feifei argued disdainfully that she was the leader of this group of children from Duke Zhu's mansion, and their safety naturally came first.
