It was impossible to see any fingers in the secret passage. Chi Danmei held Qining's hand and was able to clearly identify the direction in the darkness.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, but Qining suddenly heard a strange noise, which seemed to be the sound of water flowing. He was a little surprised, but he heard Chi Danmei ask softly: "Do you know how to swim?"
Qi Ning wondered if it was possible to go into the water again
"Hold your breath. There is a section of road ahead that is full of water. You must pass through the water." Chi Danmei said: "As long as you cross the waterway, you will reach the exit soon, and all your questions will be solved. "
Qi Ning hummed, but Chi Danmei had already taken a ribbon from her body and tied one end to Qining's wrist. She chuckled and said, "Little pervert, aunt is afraid that you will get lost in the water. With this ribbon, aunt Lead you."
Qi Ning sighed softly: "I hope this is Yue Lao's red line."
There was no time for flirting at this time. Chi Danmei led Qin Ning forward for a short distance. Qin Ning felt his feet immersed in the water. The further he walked, the deeper the water became. It didn’t take long before the water was already submerged. When it reached her chest, Chi Danmei had already whispered: "Don't let go of the ribbon. If you drown in it, I will really become a widow."
Before Qi Ning could say anything, Chi Danmei's snake-like body was submerged in the water. Qi Ning's hand was wrapped in a ribbon and was also submerged in the water.
Naturally, there was no pressure for the two of them to breathe in the water. Qining just relied on the ribbon to pull the direction of the path and followed Chi Danmei to swim forward.
Although he could stay in the water for a long time with his inner breath, he never reached the exit. Qining felt a little tight in his chest. Just when he was feeling a little uncomfortable, Chi Danmei suddenly pulled the ribbon twice, and Qi Ning pulled the ribbon hard. Ning immediately speeded up, and then tightened his arms. Chi Danmei had already grabbed his arm and lifted him up. Qin Ning suddenly felt a sense of relief, but his head had already popped out of his hands. He looked around, only to find that the surroundings were full of chaos. The mist is thick and misty, and the surrounding cold air is coming. It is September, the season when the sky is high and the air is crisp. The hot summer has not long passed, but there is no cold at this time of the year.
The surroundings were so dense that it was impossible to see the surrounding environment clearly, and Qining didn't know where he was.
The moonlight was faint and cold as water. Under the moonlight, Qining saw the red red beauty like a hibiscus emerging from the water. Her pretty face was charming, her hair stuck to her cheeks, and the water droplets rolled down and hit her white and crisp chest. Her enchanting The coquettish posture can really be painted.
"It's so cold here!" Qining moved his body and frowned: "Auntie, where on earth is this?"
Chi Danmei smiled coquettishly and whispered: "Don't be too loud. It has just fallen asleep, so don't wake it up."
"Who woke up?" Qi Ning was even more puzzled: "Who just fell asleep? Is there anyone else here?" Looking around, he saw a misty white mist in front of his eyes. He couldn't help but move slightly, and suddenly felt his fingertips touching A thing, extremely smooth, but also piercingly cold.
Chi Danmei was a few steps away from her at this time. Naturally, the person she bumped into couldn't be Chi Danmei. Although Chi Danmei's skin was also extremely smooth, it couldn't be so cold. He was surprised and looked over, but He found that one of his hands touched a white thing. In the dense fog, he couldn't see clearly what it was for a while. He looked along the extension of the white thing. Soon, Qining's color suddenly changed.
At this time, he had roughly understood that what he encountered turned out to be a giant white python.
"Southern Xinjiang... Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon!" Qining lost his voice and was horrified.
This is naturally not the first time he has seen the Snow Dragon of Southern Xinjiang. The man in white took him to the palace at night, came here, and drank python blood. Qining also concluded that the man in white taught him the Qianyuan Scripture that night. , since then, there has been a stream of ice energy in his body guarding his meridians.
He really didn't expect that he would come here again.
In an instant, he finally understood that the secret passage starting from Maitreya Temple actually led to the imperial palace.
His vision became much clearer at this time, and he finally saw the rockery beside the python pond.
He remembered clearly that when the man in white brought him here, there was a rockery more than ten feet high beside the pool. There was a waterfall-like water flowing down from the rockery. When he saw the rockery, Qining was even more excited. Make sure you are really there.
It's just that when I came here that night, there was waterfall-like water pouring down from the rockery, but now everything is quiet.
"Don't wake him up." Chi Danmei came closer and whispered: "The Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon will fall into a deep sleep for nearly two hours every day. If no one disturbs it, it will sleep for two hours. wake up."
Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out that the palace actually has such a secret underground passage. Auntie, when did you discover it?"
Chi Danmei chuckled and said: "I told you last time that the Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon is a coveted treasure for those who practice martial arts. As long as you can get some python blood from the Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon, after taking it, If you practice again, your internal strength will improve by leaps and bounds. If you practice here for half a year, it will be more than ten years of hard training."
Qi Ning said: "So, after you discovered the Snow Dragon in Southern Xinjiang, you have been secretly practicing here?"
Chi Danmei smiled charmingly and said: "Since I have come across this treasure, can't I just watch it helplessly? God has given me a treasure, so I naturally have to cherish it. In fact, for the past month, every time in the dead of night, I will come here Here." At this point, she turned around and walked towards the shore. Qining walked with her, trying not to make any noise in the water. The two of them went ashore. Under the moonlight, Qining saw Chi Danmei's clothes. Touching the skin, the exquisite and convex sexy figure is completely outlined.
Seeing Qin Ning's eyes sweeping over her, Chi Danmei rolled her eyes at him, took Qin Ning's hand, and followed a path to the bamboo forest on the edge.
Qining had seen this bamboo forest last time, with tall pines and bamboos, quiet and deep. The moonlight shone through the gaps, and the fragmented moonlight shone on Chi Danmei's body, making her already snowy skin even more glowing. There was a layer of white light. When Qi Ning took in Chi Danmei's alluring figure, he suddenly realized that Chi Danmei's skin was obviously much more lustrous than before. She didn't feel it just now, but now that she thought about it, this vixen's The skin's elasticity is visibly more elastic.
Looking towards the Python Pond from the bamboo forest, the Python Pond is still shrouded in mist.
"Every time I get the python blood, I will practice here." Chi Danmei whispered: "Actually, it is very quiet here, and it is a forbidden area of the palace. Normally no one dares to come in. There are only two palace residents in this dragon garden. , come here every day to take care of it and then leave."
"Dragon Garden?"
Chi Danmei raised her hand and tapped Qining's forehead, and sighed softly: "You little guy, you don't even know the situation in the Chu Kingdom's palace, and you have the nerve to say that you are a hereditary prince of Chu Kingdom. To the north is the royal back garden. , there is a gate to the south of the back garden, which is closed all year round, no one dares to come close, that is the Dragon Garden."
Qi Ning was brought into the palace late at night by the man in white. The palace was full of palaces and he couldn't figure out where the Dragon Garden was.
"Auntie, you come here every day to get python blood. Aren't you already scarring this snow dragon?" Qining sighed: "If someone discovers the snow dragon's wounds, it will be very bad. .”
Chi Danmei said angrily: "You don't care about whether my martial arts has improved, but you care about that snake. In your heart, who is more important?"
Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said: "Your martial arts are already very impressive, and now you are naturally improving by leaps and bounds. I'm just worried that someone will find out your flaws, and your whereabouts will be exposed. This palace seems peaceful, but there are many masters. If you really find out, Whereabouts, you may not be able to get out."
Chi Danmei chuckled lightly and said: "Then don't worry, this snow dragon is not an ordinary thing. Although there are two palace servants taking care of it, it is just for feeding. Whenever the snow dragon sleeps, they come here Turn off the water flow mechanism. Secondly, this snow dragon can not only quickly heal the scars on its body, but there are many medicinal materials in this pool that can speed up the healing of the snow dragon's wounds. Every time I take the python's blood, it's just a small area. The wound, Xue Long’s wound can be roughly healed without even using a stick of incense.”
Qi Ning was surprised. He didn't expect the Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon to be so magical.
"This Longchi is also a place for healing. If you have any scars on your body, taking a dip in it will speed up your recovery." Chi Danmei said softly: "Half a month ago, when I was practicing in this forest , I found those two people emerging from the dragon pond, and it was on that day that I learned that there was not only a snow dragon in the dragon pond, but also another mystery."
Qi Ning frowned and said, "Those two people used the secret passage to sneak into the palace. Who are they?"
Chi Danmei shook her head and said: "That night, I discovered that one of them was really good at martial arts and did not alert anyone. I was just curious about whether your emperor knew about the existence of this underground secret passage."
Qi Ning shook his head: "I don't know either. But... this Dragon Garden was naturally built by the emperor's order. Since the construction of the Dragon Pond is the Emperor's will, then there is a secret passage under the Dragon Pond, and the Emperor should not be unaware of it."
Chi Danmei smiled and said: "That's not certain. Although the construction of Dragon Garden was ordered by the emperor, it was not built by the emperor himself. The people who built Dragon Garden were craftsmen. It would not matter if some of the craftsmen deliberately built this secret passage. You know."
Qi Ning frowned and said: "Building such a secret passage cannot be completed in a short time. Even if someone wants to build it secretly, is it so easy to hide it from the palace? Auntie, I think this should be built by the emperor's secret order."
"Then why did the emperor want to build such a secret passage?" Chi Danmei exhaled like blue, smiled like a charm, blinked her eyes, and said: "Is it possible that your emperor is worried that one day the dragon throne will be unsafe and he will not be able to escape from here?"
Qi Ning was also a little surprised, and Chi Danmei added: "If it was built by the emperor under a secret decree, the fewer people who know about this secret road, the better. I even doubt that the craftsmen who built Longyuan in the first place may not survive. . If it is the emperor’s secret, why did the two people tonight know the existence of this secret passage, and also used the secret passage to sneak in from outside the palace? Who are those two people? "
