Wen Qiao's eyes wandered a little.
She felt that the man around her seemed to be a little different, but she couldn't tell what was different, and she instinctively noticed the changes in him.
At that moment, it seemed that something tightly pulled them together.
Ning Yuzhou stood up, stroked the folds on his sleeves, and smiled back at her.
This smile, in this brightly lit night, luxuriantly smoked and turned into an extremely gorgeous picture.
He stretched out his hand to hold her, with a soft voice, "I've rested, Auntie, the formation has been released, let's go down and have a look."
Wen Qiao glanced at him again, quickly suppressed the previous strange feeling, and walked with him towards the passage that appeared in the wall.
Wen Tutu and the two yellow crystal ants quickly followed them.
Wen Qiao turned her head to look at them, put the two yellow crystal ants back into the purse at her waist, Wen Tutu obediently jumped onto her shoulder as a ball of hair, and didn't make any random noises, so as not to disturb Brother Ning's good deeds and be hated by him. Its panacea.
The passage is not wide, about half a foot long, and a very neatly trimmed staircase winds down, surrounded by pitch black, with no other light sources. Ning Yuzhou held the lamp driven by spirit stones in his hand and used it as illumination.
The two went down the stairs.
The stairs are like a winding mountain road, winding and winding underground, going round and round, the two of them walked for a long way before reaching the end.
At the end is a towering stone gate.
The icy stone reflects the cold light, and some mysterious patterns are engraved on the door, like runes, or some monster patterns. After looking at it for a long time, I feel dizzy.
Wen Qiao quickly closed her eyes, and realized that this door was the same as the previous nested formation, and it was not something that she could directly look at and comprehend with her current cultivation. She looked at Ning Yuzhou with some worry, for fear that he would consume his consciousness again, what if he hurt the sea of consciousness
Ning Yuzhou looked at it for a while and said, "There is a formation on this door, which is similar to the one above."
"Do you still want to understand?" Wen Qiao said hesitantly, "Otherwise we will be puzzled, and I'm not that interested in this place, so let's go."
Ning Yuzhou looked at her in surprise, suddenly couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to stroke her head, and said softly: "If you don't get in the way, you all come here. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't take a look?"
"But you..."
"It's okay, I don't need to solve the formation on this door myself."
In Wen Qiao's doubts, I saw him walking forward with his eyes closed, and then stretched out his hand to push the stone gate several feet high.
There was a grinding sound that made people's teeth sour, and the stone door trembled, and was slowly pushed open a gap, and a breath of endless chill rushed towards his face.
Ning Yuzhou who pushed the door was the first to meet the breath, his hands, clothes and body were instantly frozen.
Wen Qiao was shocked, and quickly grabbed a cloak that was coming, shook it open with a rustle, put it on Ning Yuzhou, and then took his place, reaching out to help open the door.
"Put it on!" Ning Yuzhou said hoarsely.
Wen Qiao also felt the chill seeping through the door.
She took out a cloak and put it on, Wen Tutu moved behind her as soon as the door opened, and now she has hid in the hood of the cloak, poking her head carefully to look out, two red crystal ants It even shrank up.
The two pushed the door open together.
When the door was pushed open, the passage around them was quickly covered with a layer of ice crystals, and the ice crystals spread all the way, freezing the entire passage behind them, and quickly spread upwards. But in an instant, the whole world has become a world of ice and snow.
The air was extremely cold, and even though the two were wearing cloaks, they still felt an indescribable coldness.
Half of Ning Yuzhou's body was frozen, he reluctantly took out a bottle of panacea from the storage bag, first fed one to Wen Qiao, and then swallowed one himself.
After the elixir was consumed, the frozen body became warmer, and even the frozen hands began to thaw.
This is a kind of yang pill refined by Ning Yuzhou. Swallowing it in extremely cold places can drive away the cold and keep the body warm and active. Wen Qiao also fed Wen Tutu and the two yellow crystal ants a spirit crystal each, so that the two and the three monsters felt comfortable coming back to life.
Ning Yuzhou shattered the ice crystals that had condensed on his clothes, and said to Wenqiao, "Ah, let's go in and have a look."
Wen Qiao responded, and the two carefully stepped through the half-open door and walked in.
Behind the door is a bone-cold world.
This is a very vast underground space. The ground is covered with undulating sandstone and stone milk, covered with a layer of ice crystals, and icicles hanging upside down above. Although there is no snow falling in the whole space, there is a condensed cold air in the air, which is cold to the bones and chills. If they hadn't taken Yangyang Dan, they might not be able to bear the cold air here at this time.
The two of them looked at this vast and magnificent underground space, and said nothing for a long time.
"Husband, there seems to be something here." Wen Qiao thought carefully, feeling the faint breath of life.
Ning Yuzhou didn't doubt her perception. Sometimes, Ah Ji's perception was sharper than those monsters.
He looked at the space sealed in the formation, and at this moment he understood that the formation surrounding the city on the yellow sand city should be to hide this underground space. And this piece of underground space is under the Yellow Sand City above, as for what is hidden in it...
Ning Yuzhou's eyes fell on the frozen sandstone.
Then, the two shuttled along the gaps around the sandstone, checking as they walked.
Wen Qiao followed the looming life fluctuations, and soon confirmed the place, and came to a frozen sandstone.
"Husband, here."
She opened her mouth, and the breath out of her mouth instantly turned into a puff of mist.
Ning Yuzhou stopped and looked down at the place she was pointing at. The sandstone there was quite huge, and there were tiny holes in the sandstone, like holes eaten by insects and ants, or eroded by water.
Ning Yuzhou frowned and thought, suddenly said: "Ah, break it open."
Without further ado, Wen Qiao put on the golden silkworm gloves and punched it down.
The sound of cracking ice crystals sounded, and it exploded with a bang, revealing the frozen sandstone below. The texture of sandstone is very hard. After all, it is something that can block the wind and sand at night in the flowing desert. It has an unusually hard texture, and it is difficult for practitioners to destroy it with bare hands.
Wen Qiao concentrated her spiritual power in her hands, and punched again.
A crack slowly appeared in the sandstone, and the crack became bigger and bigger, and then Wen Qiao stretched out his hand to tear it open, finally revealing the hidden things under the sandstone.
Wen Qiao, Ning Yuzhou and Wen Tutu took a look and found a golden python toad inside.
The golden python toad is an extremely poisonous monster, its toxicity is comparable to that of the white-bellied tarantula in Cangwu Mountain. But at this moment, the golden python toad seemed to be falling into a deep sleep in this icy place, and could feel the breath of life on it, but it was lying there motionless.
The two noticed that it was covered with a layer of light blue substance, which seemed to be a kind of gelatin, which was the reason why the golden python toad fell asleep.
Ning Yuzhou stretched out his hand, and lightly touched the layer of light blue jelly on the golden python toad's body, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Husband?" Wen Qiao called out.
Ning Yuzhou regained consciousness, and said to her: "Ah, do you think the jelly on this golden python toad's body looks like the stone that Senior Brother Chen gave you?"
Wen Qiao took out the stone that Brother Chen gave them, compared it, and found that it was quite similar, the only difference was that the gelatinous color on the body of the golden python toad was relatively clear, with very few impurities, unlike this stone, which was light blue in color. It has a cloudy color. In addition, this stone is extremely hard, not like the body of this golden python toad, because it has not solidified, it is like a light blue glue.
In this way, Wen Qiao also understood that the origin of the stone was that some kind of liquid solidified into colloid, and then gradually hardened, turning into a stone-like thing. And the wing ant in the stone, probably like this golden python toad, was wrapped in the jelly, making it fall into a deep sleep, but it didn't really die.
Could it be that when she attacked Wentutu with a stone, did she wake up the wing ants in the stone
"Husband, what are these solidified jelly?" Wen Qiao asked again, she couldn't see how it came from.
Ning Yuzhou said: "I don't know, let's take a look first."
Then, they continued to check around the underground space.
The coldness in this underground space is the same as that of the desert at night, only lower than the surface temperature of the desert, low enough to frostbite the cultivators.
Then Wen Qiao felt a faint breath of life in some frozen sandstones, and knew without looking that there must be some kind of insects and ants frozen inside.
Soon after, Wen Qiao suddenly felt a change in the temperature in the air.
"Husband, has the temperature risen?" Wen Qiao asked.
Ning Yuzhou was slightly taken aback, his perception was not as keen as Wen Qiao's. After all, her demon body was some kind of plant, and plants were always sensitive to temperature.
He thought of something, looked at the time, knew it in his heart, and said: "It's almost dawn."
Hearing this, Wen Qiao suddenly understood.
It's getting brighter, and the temperature of the desert will rise. This is an underground space in the mobile desert. Due to the influence of the desert, its temperature will also rise.
Sure enough, not long after, they felt the icy aura around them recede.
The temperature rose little by little, and the ice crystals turned into water, which merged into a small stream on the ground, flowed downhill, and finally merged into an underground pool. The two walked over and saw the pool of water. The water quality was clear and slightly blue. Because the temperature here was too low, the water in the pool was frozen. They didn't realize that it was actually a pool.
"Hey, there's something under the pool."
Wen Qiao opened the mouth and said, took out a piece of stone golden python walking vine, threw it into the pool and quickly spawned it, and then controlled the stone golden python walking vine's vine to fish out the things from the bottom of the pool.
One after another, light blue stones were fished out, some big and some small, the big one was as big as a human head, and the small one was the size of the stone that Senior Brother Chen picked up. Every light blue stone is wrapped with a life, all insects and ants in the desert, like the golden python toad, or small things like wing ants, or snakes and scorpions...
There are many kinds.
Wen Qiao became more and more confused, "What the hell are these things?"
Ning Yuzhou squatted by the pool to observe the fished stones. These hardened stones were very hard. Perhaps they had just been fished out of the pool. Coupled with the rising temperature, their vital symptoms were very obvious. One by one open one's eyes.
Ning Yuzhou looked around again, and finally his eyes fell on the pool.
After a while, he said, "Ah, the water in this pool should be a kind of water called 'water of life'."
"Huh?" Wen Qiao stared at him blankly.
"The water of life endows them with life, making them immortal." Ning Yuzhou said slowly, "I think I understand, alternation of cold and heat, cycle of life and death, sealing life, sealing longevity..."
Wen Qiao blinked her eyes and got to the point: "What is the use of this water of life?"
Ning Yuzhou bent his lips, "It's useless, it's just to make the sealed creatures immortal."
Following Ning Yuzhou's explanation, Wen Qiao probably understood.
Someone took advantage of the characteristics and power of the mobile desert to set up a secret base here to study the secret of immortality.
There is a trace of terrifying power in the floating desert that even the gods cannot touch. Some people use that terrifying power to transform it into water of life. These insects and ants solidified in the light blue stone are a kind of sacrifice of life.
It is both eternal life and sacrifice.
Get them as sacrifices, and the water of life will flow endlessly.
And those solidified colloids wrapped on the body of the golden python toad are actually a kind of spirit essence of the earth core. Due to the large temperature difference between day and night in the flowing desert, the stone spirit essence produced by continuously refining the earth core stone in the ground, they are wrapped In the sandstone, things like spiritual fluids will turn into jelly when they encounter air, and then gradually harden.
The clearer the color, the better the texture of this earth core stone spirit paste.
Wen Qiao thought of the nested formation at the entrance of the room, the formation covering the entire Huangsha City, and the formation on the door at the entrance of the empty underground door, and couldn't help asking: "Husband, is this water of life still alive?" Unsuccessful?"
Ning Yuzhou's face showed an ambiguous expression, and said: "Indeed, because its power is not yet complete, it can only make the creatures frozen in the spiritual pulp of the earth's core stone immortal, but not others."
"Isn't that useless?" Wen Qiao said, not interested.
As for immortality? She is even less interested. Since she can gain the same life span as the heavens and the earth by her own cultivation, who would want to rely on these heretical foreign things
"It's useful. It can be used to water the spirit grass. It can be regarded as a kind of water that can promote the growth of spirit grass and medicine." Ning Yuzhou said.
Wen Qiao immediately became excited, took out a few bottles, and wanted to fill some to water the spiritual grass in the space.
Ning Yuzhou watched her busy with a smile and continued to study the stones on the ground.
To be precise, he was very interested in the stones transformed by the spirit pulp of these earth core stones. While checking the inheritance of Emperor Xi's bloodline, he studied their functions, and finally let him research it.
Sure enough, there is nothing useless in this world, it just depends on how to use it.
"Husband, do you think these stones can be used to refine weapons?" Wen Qiao asked with interest.
"It's not stone, it's stone spirit pulp." Ning Yuzhou corrected, and made a big move, "It's hard and suitable for refining Qiankun Dongfu."
"What?" Wen Qiao's eyes widened, her eyes glowing as she looked at those stones, and she hurriedly said, "Husband, let's pick them up and refine them into Qiankun Dongfu, so that we will have a safe house to live in when we travel in the future."
The Qiankun Cave Mansion can be carried with you, and when you go out, if you wander into some dangerous place, you can just throw the Qiankun Room out, so you don't have to worry about not having a safe place to rest.
