Several people held their breath until the tentacle monster fell to the ground with a bang, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The stench wafted away and they stepped forward to check.
The tentacle monster is already dead and cannot die any more.
This thing couldn't be left here like this. Li Zhengzhen directly used his Zhiyang Fire to burn the tentacle monster clean.
After dealing with the tentacle monsters, it was almost time.
Everyone was a little tired, so they returned to the resting place and fell asleep quickly.
Early the next morning, after Su Yixin finished practicing, she sat on a tall tree by the lake, looking at the lake and meditating.
Li Zhengzhen ate yesterday's braised meat, looked up at Su Yixin, and said, "Sister, we will set off after breakfast. What are you still thinking about in the tree?"
Su Yixin came down from the tree and said to Li Zhengzhen: "Senior brother, this place is full of spiritual energy and is where the dragon veins are located. It shouldn't breed such weird things, right?"
A place where spiritual energy gathers can nourish thousands of living beings. Just like yesterday, they met the auspicious beast Si. It is an ancient spiritual beast. The fact that it appears here is enough to prove that this place is an auspicious place.
A place like this is enough to nourish thousands of creatures.
If these creatures open their spiritual wisdom, they can practice spiritual practice.
Spiritual practitioners are protected by God and are the favored children of Heaven. They can practice much faster than humans.
But what happened last night was not a spirit.
Li Zhengzhen swallowed what was in his mouth, folded his hands across his chest, touched his beard with his right hand, and looked at the center of the lake: "Are you suspicious, under the lake?"
Su Yixin nodded.
"That's fine if we haven't encountered it. Since we have encountered it, we have to see what's down there."
"Okay, then let's go down and find out."
Su Yixin and Li Zhengzhen returned to the place where they rested last night and explained a few words to Gu Qingjue.
"Okay, be careful."
Gu Qingjue did not follow this time, but flew to the big tree where Su Yixin was just now, and carefully observed the movement on the lake.
Su Yixin and Li Zhengzhen first swam to the place where the tentacle monster appeared yesterday, then plunged into the water and swam underwater. They thought that the lake was at most two or three meters deep, but they didn't expect that there was something else underneath the lake.
The two of them swam about three feet deep and found a stone gate.
The stone gate is very tall, and the distance between the two doors is about two feet. There are complicated characters carved on the stone gate.
The two looked at each other, Su Yixin swam to the door on the left, and Li Zhengzhen swam to the door on the right, carefully checking the words on the door.
Su Yixin discovered sadly that she could not understand the words on the stone door.
Unable to speak underwater, Su Yixin had no choice but to gesture to Li Zhengzhen. Li Zhengzhen also understood and shook his head at Su Yixin.
Su Yixin remembered that when she and Li Zhengzhen went to check Bai Shunying's yard that night, he took out the magical mirror that could record and made gestures at Li Zhengzhen.
Li Zhengzhen nodded, took out the mirror from his storage bag, and swam to Su Yixin's side.
Just sweep the stone gate.
After recording the words on the stone gate with a mirror, the two of them stopped lingering and returned to the water.
Su Yixin and Li Zhengzhen luckily dried their clothes and returned to the resting place. Li Zhengzhen took out the mirror and said, "Zi Yuan, come and see what is written here!"
Gu Qingjue took the mirror. Since it was in the water, any slight movement would cause ripples in the water, which seemed very inconvenient.
About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Qingjue said: "This is not my imperial script, more like 'fan script'."
Fanwen is Xixia script. At first glance, all the characters are familiar, but after careful inspection, you will find that not a single character is recognized.
It was a dynasty established by the Dangxiang people. As early as the end of the previous dynasty, Li Sigong, the leader of the Dangxiang Dynasty, was awarded the title of Envoy of the Dingnan Army and granted five states for his contribution to pacifying Huangchao.
In 990 AD, Dangxiang was granted the title of King of Xia by the Liao Kingdom, and successively occupied Zhuzhou areas in the Hexi Corridor until 1038, when Li Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor and established the country.
Long before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Yuanhao ordered Minister Yeli Renrong to create Xixia characters. It took three years to create a total of more than 5,000 characters, which are basically compound characters.
"Why did 'Fanwen' appear here?"
It is only the summer of 1040, and Xixia writing has only been formed for two or three years. In other words, the underwater writing cannot exceed three years at most.
"Brother Jue, can you translate these words?"
The writings of Xixia appeared under a lake in the Ningzhen Mountains. Although Gu Qingjue had not yet passed the imperial examination and entered the court as an official, his keen political mind immediately revealed the dangerous atmosphere in them.
He nodded solemnly: "I'll try."
The writing created by the Xixia Kingdom is a national secret. Gu Qingjue was able to recognize it thanks to the ten books Master Zhou asked him to copy for the Bai family.
One of them is recorded in Xixia characters.
When he was copying the book, he encountered words he had never seen before, so he made an extra copy.
When I have nothing to do, I will study those words.
Gu Qingjue has no other hobbies. Apart from practicing martial arts, he spends the rest of his time practicing calligraphy and studying ancient texts. In this regard, Gu Qingjue has a unique talent.
Now three months have passed, and there has been some success.
In about an hour, Gu Qingjue translated the words on the two stone doors, a total of two and six words.
The general meaning is that the underwater stone gate is a spirit gathering and transportation formation.
This formation can gather all the spiritual energy of the Ningzhen Mountains here to activate the transportation formation behind the stone gate. The written records on the stone gate can reverse the national destiny of the Song Dynasty.
Seeing this, several people looked solemn.
If Gu Qingjue's translation is correct, then behind the stone gate is the spirit gathering and transportation formation.
Li Zhengzhen said: "Sister, let's go down again."
"I'll go with you."
Gu Qingjue took the high-grade lightsaber, stood up and followed.
Thinking of Gu Qingjue's skills, Su Yixin nodded: "That's fine, I'll just go down to investigate this time, be careful."
The three of them took off their coats and jumped to the center of the lake. Then they plunged into the water and swam in the direction where they had just discovered the stone gate.
After arriving at the stone gate, Gu Qingjue and Su Yixin swam to the left, and Li Zhengzhen was on the right. The three of them pushed the door open at the same time. Su Yixin felt that at least 80% of the force was used, but the stone gate still did not move at all.
Gu Qingjue pointed to both sides of the stone door and made a pressing and twisting motion. Su Yixin and Li Zhengzhen nodded. Gu Qingjue meant to look for a mechanism or something to open the stone door.
The three of them groped around on the stone gate and stone piers, but couldn't find anything that could be pressed or twisted.
Gu Qingjue gave up looking for the mechanism on the stone pier, and instead swam to the stone gate, staring at the plum blossom stone carving in the lower left corner of the stone gate in trance.
I saw him swimming to Shimen and starting to look for something.
Su Yixin and Li Zhengzhen looked at each other and really didn't know what Gu Qingjue was looking for.
