As soon as Yuhe Immortal received the letter that they were coming to Xianhe Spring Village to look for the Immortal Lake Temple, he began to prepare a "transportation vehicle" that could take them to the center of the lake at the same time. In the end, he, who had never seen a hot air balloon, actually came up with the idea of using cranes to build a crane boat.
He found rattan from elsewhere and used his skillful hands to weave the rattan into a hanging basket that could accommodate six people. Then I found a light but strong rope and tied it to the hanging basket so that the cranes could fly with it.
Now it was time to show his invention to Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others. He pointed his finger to the sky. Everyone looked up and saw the group of cranes that were beside him flying towards here. Each of them holds a rope in its beak, and underneath these countless ropes hangs a hanging basket similar to that found on hot air balloons.
"How about it? I plan to use this crane boat to take you to the place where the strange fish gather in the middle of the lake!" The Feather Crane Immortal stretched out his hand to summon the cranes to land towards the shore so that the hanging baskets they carry can arrive. on the ground.
"Hey, this is really a strange thing. I have ridden in a hot air balloon before when I was in the human world, but you actually thought of replacing the hot air balloon with a crane!" Mochizuki said as she walked towards the hanging basket.
When he walked up to it and took a look, he was even more amazed. Not only was the basket made with extremely fine craftsmanship, but it was also designed with a small door to facilitate their entry and exit.
"Excuse me, you are so thoughtful!" Ouyang Xiaoleng, who had not spoken for a long time, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the crane ship back and forth.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's board the ship!" Yu Hexian reminded the others who stayed where they were.
So everyone boarded the crane boat made by the Crane Immortal, and the Feather Crane Immortal flew in front of them to guide them, heading straight towards the center of the lake where the strange fish gathered. The waves of the lake shrouded in thick fog have a mysterious beauty, but it also makes it impossible for the people in the hanging basket to see the situation in the lake. If they didn't completely trust Yuhe Immortal, how could they let him take them there? What about somewhere in the lake
Yuhe Sennin has such a magical power. From the moment you just feel you know him a little bit, he has already occupied a very special position in your heart, regardless of your gender, regardless of your status and position, maybe this will That's his charm. On the other hand, this is also why among the many divine beasts in the divine realm at that time, God Qiansu only loved the white crane spiritual beast that transformed into him the most.
In fact, Immortal Yuhe had already noticed something strange in the center of the lake. Those strange fish were indeed hiding some unknown secret. Although he couldn't tell what the secret was, he had always been sure of it.
It wasn't until he received the letter from Ouyang Hongye that he became more convinced of his previous thoughts. In fact, the future of the demon world does not have much influence on him, but when it comes to Xia Qiu, everything becomes different. He had to ensure that she could return to this world, because this was what she expected, and at the same time he also hoped that she could live a safe and happy life, so he decided to help Ouyang Xiaoleng and others.
He led them towards the center of the lake where the strange fish were concentrated. When they finally arrived there, he raised his head to the sky and shouted loudly, calling the cranes behind him to stop.
Through the thick mist, Qianqi and several others could not clearly see what was going on below, so he asked, "Is this here?"
"This is it, son of the Dragon King, but I can't guarantee what the situation will be below! Because we have to save the world and return to the realm of soul separation, and wait for Xia Qiu to appear there, it is inconvenient to go with you! I only wish you Everything goes well!" Immortal Yu He sincerely gave them his blessing. If it weren't for the fact that he was still thinking about the situation in Xia Qiu, he would also like to explore the Immortal Lake Temple with them.
"Thank you Immortal Yuhe for guiding us!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said gratefully.
"Then... let's say goodbye!" Immortal Yuhe said goodbye to everyone.
"Take care!" Ouyang Xiaoleng looked at the others, especially Qian Qi, "Is everyone ready?"
"Why are you staring at me? I've already prepared it!"
After hearing Qianqi's answer, everyone looked at their companions around them again. After making sure that everyone was in their place, they prepared to jump towards the waves of the lake below.
"Why do you feel that we are about to fall into a trap?" Mochizuki could vaguely see the strange fish below through the thick fog, seeming to be peeping at these uninvited guests.
"Don't worry, I will be the first to jump into the lake, and when the time comes, I will use the art of water control to build a barrier to stop the strange fish!" Qianqi said to Mochizuki and others.
"Okay!" Everyone responded to him in unison.
So after Qianqi jumped into the lake, Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others also said goodbye to Yuhe Immortal and jumped into the lake.
From the moment Qianqi entered the lake, he began to use his water control skills. He formed four large nets in the lake through imagination, and these four large nets could firmly block the path of the strange fish, and Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others just jumped into the four large nets he had transformed.
The lake water seems to be colder than expected, but after entering it, when the lake surface is still, it can be quickly seen that the scene formed on the lake is completely different from what they saw from the air, and that scene happens to be what Min Endong investigated. The world exists in the mirror space. Unable to think so much, everyone decided to swim towards the entrance of the corridor leading to the Immortal Lake Temple above the lake.
When looking under the lake, the reflected outline of the Immortal Lake Temple is not very clear. To be precise, it is just a vague shadow. If you don't know the legend about the temple being in a mirror space, you will easily miss it. They found the entrance to the promenade and swam towards it with great uncertainty. The moment they poked their heads out of the lake, in addition to breathing in the fresh air, they also truly entered In that corridor.
Strangely enough, the cyclic world that originally existed in the mirror space had a real sense of existence the moment it came into contact with it. Walking up the white steps, there is a straight corridor. The corridor is not wide, only big enough for two people to pass side by side. On both sides of the corridor are some large plants that look similar to corals.
They walked forward for a while and finally came to the main building of the Immortal Lake Temple. From the outside, this temple has nothing to do with dark forces. Especially in the eyes of Mochizuki, who has traveled around the world, it looks more like a Western church. But the strange thing is that apart from the many sculptures of the god Gansu on the front, the gate of this temple cannot be found.
Ouyang Xiaoleng went around the temple looking for a place to place the tributes. Ever since he arrived at this place, his heart could not be calm. These days, although I have made several attempts with the help of Min Endong, I have never been able to form telepathy with Xia Qiu again. He also doesn't know what the situation is in the Infinite Heaven Realm. Has the war between his father Ouyang Xueye and the Lord of the Infinite Heaven Realm Fei Tao begun? And can Xia Qiu rely on the chaos of war to return to the state of soul separation
Thinking of the oath between him and Xia Qiu, he would take her body back no matter what, so he quickened his pace again. Qianqi and Lingyu also walked in the opposite direction around the temple to find the altar where the tributes were placed. Finally, they discovered that the altar where the tributes were placed was not around the temple, but on the top of the temple. There is a lotus-shaped device on the top of the temple. There is only a notch in the center of the device that is exactly the same size as the Dream Demon's bead. People can't help but think that this is the altar.
Ouyang Hongye carefully took out Mo Meng's bead from his pocket and put it into the center of the notch. He saw that the petals of the lotus began to close slowly, and eventually turned into a bud, shrinking inward. Went back. When the flower buds completely retracted into the roof of the temple, the entire temple began to rise upwards. Miraculously, another three-story building emerged from the ground, and the door of the temple was in the middle of the front facade of the lowest floor.
"It seems that the Dream Demon's beads are really useful. Just now I couldn't tell that this temple has three underground floors." Mochizuki nodded and opened the door to go inside.
But he pushed hard several times, but the door didn't move at all.
"What's going on? Even if there are tributes, can't this door be opened?!" Qianqi said and bumped towards the door, causing the door to vibrate with him.
"I don't understand what's going on!" Ouyang Hongye also tried to push the door, and sure enough, the door should be locked from the inside.
"Hey, there is obviously a keyhole, why didn't anyone notice it?" Ouyang Xiaoleng said, pointing to the less conspicuous keyhole under the door handle.
"Where is the key that can open this door?" Ling Yu also leaned over and touched the keyhole with his finger.
"You're right!" Qianqi moved his feet and shouted.
Just as he said, there were indeed a few lines of words carved on the stone ground. Surprisingly, they thought it would be a divine language that they could not understand, but in fact it was just the most common Chinese characters.
"The temple in the mirror is invisible. The key to the heart is hidden in the window." Ouyang Xiaolen read out the words.
"What does this sentence mean? I understood earlier that it said that this temple exists in the mirror space, but although the second half of the sentence is talking about the key, how can it be called the key to the heart?" Qian Qi Qi rested his chin on his hand and read it twice more, still feeling unclear.
"Hongye, what do you think?" Ouyang Xiaoleng raised his head and looked at Ouyang Hongye. Among them, he was definitely the one who was best at analyzing and sorting out clues.
"Hmm... I think the heart and the window can be connected. What do you think?" Ouyang Hongye suddenly made a bold hypothesis.
