The water in the ghost lake disappeared inexplicably, which made everyone present feel a little surprised and a little strange.
Could it be that this ghost lake... really has ghosts?
Everyone does not believe in evil, but the situation in front of us is definitely beyond common sense. Therefore, for a moment, everyone was at a loss.
Chen Yutian looked at Lang Yue and found that she was observing everyone's reactions with interest.
Then he asked her: "Is this what you want us to see?"
Lang Yue nodded and said: "Yes. This ghost lake is the largest body of water in our Western Region. In the past, surrounding villagers often used to get water here for drinking. However, every seven days, the lake water would inexplicably disappear for half a day, and then recover half a day later. As it was, the surrounding villagers were deeply surprised, thinking that there were ghosts in the lake. Gradually, they stopped coming to fetch water. However, the name of the ghost lake also spread because of this. In the capital, curious people often went out of their way to Come and see the strange sight of the lake disappearing."
Chen Yutian said: "So, the lake will come back later?"
"That's right." Lang Yue nodded.
Chen Yutian touched his chin slightly and pondered.
The information Ling Xiaowu obtained from the Wind and Rain Saint Clan key was the calm water surface.
This ghost lake has the phenomenon of water loss. Once it loses water, there will definitely be no water surface again. It is not yet known whether the information on the water surface actually reflects this.
However, the Barbarian Kingdom is located in the Western Region, and the land is barren all year round, with a lot of wind and sand.
Such an environment is not suitable for the formation of such a large body of water. From this aspect, this ghost lake is indeed somewhat suspicious.
While he was pondering, the water in the Ghost Lake was getting less and less.
Everyone was shocked. Lin Feifei's expression was solemn, and she slowly took a few steps closer to the ghost lake, frowning slightly.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the fluctuation.
There is no mistake, this is indeed a forbidden fluctuation.
I just don’t know who set up the ban here? Even myself, who inherited the bloodline of the Dragon-Sealing Saint Clan, couldn't tell the difference.
However, what is certain is that the loss of water in Ghost Lake should be caused by this restriction.
Xue Tianhan subconsciously looked back at his master. Only they would know what was going on with such a vision.
But what he saw was the same slightly frowning brows of the Four Saints.
Suddenly, his expression changed and his eyes focused.
"That is……"
On the door of the stone pagoda behind Ice King and the Four Saints, there were eight large characters engraved on them.
The top of the tower, the road to wind and rain!
Xue Tianhan looked up at the top of the stone tower.
The stone tower is not high, about two or three stories high. Even ordinary warriors can easily jump up.
So he jumped up, like a flying bird, to the top of the stone tower.
Everyone was attracted by his inexplicable movements, and at the same time, they also saw the eight characters in front of the stone tower door.
"Tian Han, how are you?" Huo Yuanji asked towards the top of the tower.
A usually cold response came from the top of the tower. "not found."
Everyone was wondering why there was nothing there since it was written on the door that the top of the tower was the clue. Could this sentence be a trap?
Chen Yutian touched his chin and pondered, looking towards the shore of the ghost lake unintentionally.
At this time, there was basically not much water left in the ghost lake.
"The water surface...the top of the tower..." Chen Yutian looked at the lake and was stunned for a moment, then a flash of light flashed, "Could it be..."
He immediately looked up in the sky where the sun was.
It's almost afternoon now, and the scorching sun has gone west, but the heat is still there. Under the scorching sun, the stone tower casts a shadow. The direction in which this shadow extends happens to be the direction of the Ghost Lake.
Chen Yutian walked along the shadow of the stone tower, and after a while, he came to the shore of Ghost Lake.
The shadow's spire extends to the center of the ghost lake.
With a thought in his heart, he flew forward and arrived at the location of the shadow tower.
At this time, the water in the ghost lake had completely dried up, exposing the moist and soft land.
Chen Yutian's various actions naturally cannot be hidden from everyone. When everyone saw him walking quietly to the center of the lake, they couldn't help but be curious, and they didn't know what clues he had discovered.
Chen Yutian stood on the soft land at the bottom of the lake, and could faintly feel that there seemed to be two waves of power flowing faintly under his feet.
He suddenly smiled.
The next moment, an internal force was gathered and transmitted directly through the soles of the feet into the ground beneath the feet.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently!
Everyone on the shore also felt the vibration of the ground. You looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at Chen Yutian in the center of the lake with a blank expression.
Although Xue Tianhan was at the top of the tower, he also felt the vibrations on the ground. I couldn't help but get off the stone tower and also came to the shore of Ghost Lake.
Chen Yutian had figured out the mystery at this moment, so he slowly walked to everyone and said to Ling Xiaowu and Yu Xiaoxiao: "Brother Ling, you two go there and give it a try. I think as long as you inject the internal power of the Fengyu clan, This puzzle should be solved.”
Ling Xiaowu and Yu Xiaoxiao looked at each other, with a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.
But they also knew that this was either the time to be entangled in such matters, or they nodded to Chen Yutian, walked to the inner strength inherent in their condensed blood, and pointed lightly towards the void.
Two powerful and completely different internal forces spurted out!
Xuan Xi looked at this scene and said, "What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
Chen Yutian made a silent gesture and said: "Shh... don't ask yet, you will know after reading."
Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to focus on the center of the lake.
They saw that the internal energy of Ling Xiaowu and Yu Xiaoxiao was continuously injected into the soil in the middle of the lake where the shadow tower spire was like a pair of horses.
And with the injection of two internal forces, there were faint changes in the soil in the center of the lake.
I saw faint golden light emanating from the soil, and at the same time, the ground shook more violently.
Everyone opened their glasses and paid attention.
Upon seeing this, Ling Xiaowu and Yu Xiaoxiao injected another force into the soil.
Rumble…
The ground shook, and there were bursts of violent muffled sounds. Golden light erupted brightly in the soil, and there seemed to be something faintly about to break out of the ground!
"That's..." Everyone was shocked!
The Ice King and the other Four Saints also showed interest, looking at the golden light in the soil with expectation.
At this moment, a simple jade pendant on Ling Xiaowu's waist suddenly vibrated.
As it vibrated, the surface of the jade pendant was gradually wrapped in blue and green clouds, and suspended in the void on its own.
Ling Xiaowu and Yu Xiaoxiao's hearts moved. Almost at the same time, they injected two internal forces into the jade pendant.
Buzz…
The jade pendant buzzed, and a dazzling golden light shot out from it!
The golden light shone on the soil, and the golden light under the soil seemed to reach its peak at this moment, and the next moment. The soil broke open, and a golden shadow burst out of the ground as if growing from the ground!
The golden light exploded, and the dazzling light filled the surrounding areas. Everyone closed their eyes and lowered their heads, unable to look directly.
Until the golden light dissipated, Chen Yucai slowly opened his eyes.
The next moment, his eyes suddenly condensed, and an unexpected shock flashed across his eyes!
The rest of the people also stared blankly ahead.
I saw a...huge stone tablet appear on the originally flat ground in front of me!
…
…
In the small courtyard, Yuntai Xi was making tea.
There was an ordinary teapot on the table in front of him. The tea in the teapot was steaming. Yuntai Xi was wearing coarse linen clothes and sitting on a stone stool. He picked up some dried grass from the table and put it in. Inside the teapot, shake gently.
There was nothing special about the tea in his cup. It was just a very common type of tea on the market. You could buy a big bag of it for just a few copper coins.
But the aroma of tea that came out of the tea cup was not like that which could be brewed from ordinary tea leaves.
Yuntaixi slowly tasted the aroma in the tea cup, nodded slightly and said: "Well... the deadwood grass from the barbarian countries in the Western Regions is indeed the same as the legend. It's just that ordinary tea leaves can have such a tea aroma. If you use Wouldn’t famous tea be more fragrant? If those tea lovers in the Central Plains knew about it, they would be so jealous."
Thinking of this, Yuntaixi's expression moved slightly and he said, "Back?"
The door to the small courtyard was opened, and Yun sighed and walked in excitedly. He looked around and asked, "Where is the master?"
Yuntaixi said: "I went out. I said I was going to meet old friends. However, I remember that Master doesn't seem to have any friends living in the barbaric country."
Yun sighed and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out whether Yun Sheng had any friends who lived in Manguo, and said: "Really? I don't know about this. Let's not talk about it anymore, senior brother, guess what I just met on the street Who is it?"
Yuntaixi took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You must have met Chen Yutian and the others."
Yun sighed and said in surprise: "How do you know?"
Yuntaixi smiled slightly and said, "Have you forgotten the purpose of master bringing us to the barbarian country again?"
Yun sighed and was slightly startled.
He really didn't remember the purpose of master taking them to the barbarian country. Wasn't it to accompany you, senior brother, to cultivate your mind?
Yuntaixi smiled and said: "Cultivation of mind is just an excuse. The real purpose of Master bringing us to Manguo is to secretly help Chen Yutian and the others. Although it is not clear why Master wants us to do this, since we have come to Manguo It’s to help them, so it’s not surprising that they are in the barbarian country.”
Yun sighed and nodded, saying: "So that's it. But Master didn't seem to have told me."
Yuntai Xi touched his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "Oh, it's probably because Master was afraid that you would be too outtempered, so that's why he didn't tell you."
Yun sighed speechlessly.
Senior brother, can we not be so worried?
Yuntaixi took another sip of tea and asked, "How is it? Now that you have seen them, do you know what they are going to do next?"
Yun sighed and thought for a while, then said: "I'm not sure exactly, but they should be in a place called Ghost Lake right now."
Yuntai Xi put down his tea cup, held his chin and said, "Ghost Lake?"
…
…
A huge stone tablet broke out of the soil at the bottom of Ghost Lake, which surprised everyone present in the Jiulong Mansion.
Chen Yutian looked at the stone tablet carefully and saw that the stone tablet seemed to be carved in one piece. The base of the tablet was carved into the shape of a dragon turtle, which looked quite solemn.
There is a huge pattern engraved on the stele, which occupies nearly half of the area of the stele. There is a faint golden light flowing on it, which is very mysterious.
"This is... the emblem of the Wind Clan?"
Ling Xiaowu looked at the golden pattern and said in shock.
"What? The emblem of the Wind Clan?" Everyone in the Jiulong Mansion gathered around and looked carefully at the pattern of flowing golden light, but nothing could be seen. It seems that it is just a pattern, nothing special.
"Look, everyone, there is a line of words below the clan emblem." Tang Fengling suddenly shouted.
Everyone followed her direction and saw a line of small words carved under the Wind Clan emblem and above the base of the stone tablet.
The characters are from the Shengwu era and are different from those used today.
Fortunately, after accepting the inheritance of the Fenglong Clan, Lin Feifei had studied the writing of the Shengwu Era in detail, so when she saw that line of small characters, she read out: "Wind and rain are relative."
"Wind and rain are relative?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
What is this? The second puzzle?
Gongsun and Xue Tianhan also pondered secretly.
The stone tablet in front of us is engraved with the emblem of the Wind Clan. If wind and rain are relative, does that mean there is another stone tablet engraved with the emblem of the Rain Clan? If this is the case, then where will the stone tablet be?
Also, wind and rain are relative, is it relative in terms of position? Or something else?
If their positions are relative, what are the criteria used to judge their relative orientations? Is it east, west, north, south? Or something else?
These are all questions.
Chen Yutian glanced at the stone tablet subconsciously, and suddenly his eyes flashed.
He saw that just above the line of small characters and slightly below the Wind Clan emblem, there was a Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish pattern carved on it.
This square pattern is similar to what is usually seen in Taoist temples and other places, but what is worthy of Chen Yutian's attention is that the position of the yang fish eye of the yin and yang fish in this square is not a black dot as usual, but a A small hole with golden light flowing through it.
Seeing the small square hole and the faintly shining golden emblem of the Wind Clan above, Chen Yutian's heart moved slightly.
If the gold in the Tai Chi yin and yang fish pattern represents the wind tribe, then the other half of the yin fish eyes should represent the rain tribe.
After all, yin and yang are also opposites.
"Wait...relatively..."
When he thought of this, Chen Yutian's expression moved slightly, and his eyes switched back and forth between the Wind Clan emblem and the Tai Chi Yin Yang fish pattern. Finally, he stopped at the yin and fish eyes of the Tai Chi Yin Yang fish pattern.
"I see." The corners of his mouth curved slightly.
At the same time, Ye Hong, who was in Taihu City on the border of the barbarian country, also welcomed the saint Ling Ruoyin who hurriedly came from the Central Plains.
And just a moment after Ling Ruoyin arrived in Manguo, someone came with good news.
The scope of activities of the Fengyu clan in the Western Region has been locked!
