After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

"By the way, Xin'er, I have a question that I haven't solved yet."

"Uncle, please speak."

"I want to ask you, how did you kill such a huge giant scorpion? Can you tell us specifically?"

"Okay, uncle, that day was like this..." Ling Xiner didn't even bother to eat, and directly told everyone here the thrilling story of her killing the giant scorpion.

"So Xin'er's water-avoiding beads still played a very important role?" Xuantai asked curiously.

"It can be said that this bead has a spell, and only our tribe can use it. But if it is not me, others can stay underwater for a long time."

"But I'm different. When I wear it, I can detect all signs of life in the deep sea, whether visible or invisible. What's even more amazing is that I can create whirlpools, illusions, and all other magical things underwater." ." Ling Xiner's words seemed unreliable, but she said it was indeed the truth.

"Don't listen to this little girl bragging."

"You, eat quickly and stop bragging." Zhang Yunyuan handed the chopsticks to Ling Xiner's hand.

"I'm not talking nonsense. This giant scorpion is dead, isn't it? And let me tell you a strange thing." Ling Xiner leaned her head forward and said mysteriously.

"I told you that when I tied the giant scorpion's tail to the rock with a rope, my water-repelling beads kept flashing."

"Why is that?" Xuantai asked curiously.

"That's because my water-repellent beads sensed the existence of life in the rocks."

"The more you talk, the more outrageous you are. Don't listen to her." Zhang Yunyuan patted Ling Xiner on the head.

"Eat quickly, I'll see how proud you are."

At this time, Shangguan Hong and Xuantai looked at each other, and the two of them almost said a person's name in unison.

"Long Jiaojiao?"

"Xin'er, let me ask you, are you really sure there is life in that rock?" Shangguan Hong stood up and took Ling Xiner's arm.

"Yes, aunt, there must be one, but I'm not sure what kind of living creature it is." Ling Xiner was a little surprised. She didn't know why Shangguan Hong was so excited.

"Xin'er, can you find a time to go down and make sure?"

Seeing Shangguan Hong looking at her expectantly, Ling Xiner readily agreed.

After the meal, several people sat in the living room and discussed it, and decided to let Xin'er go down to find out tomorrow.

After Zhang Yunyuan and Ling Xiner returned to the room, she looked at Zhang Yunyuan blankly with a lot of questions.

"Yun Yuan, what do you think happened to my aunt today? What's there to explore in a stone?"

"Xin'er, you don't know what happened in the past. You were still young at that time, and there may be many things that Chief Nega didn't tell you." Zhang Yunyuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ling Xin'er.

"Let me tell you, this matter is a long story..." Zhang Yunyuan told Ling Xiner what happened to Long Jiaojiao and Mei and Shu.

"It turns out that they have such a beautiful past, but Aunt Long is miserable enough. Why is she always getting caught?"

"By the way, does Aunt Hong think that Tuyu hid Aunt Long in that rock?"

"Yes, that's it, so you must confirm it carefully tomorrow."

"But be sure to pay attention to safety." Zhang Yunyuan stood up and put Ling Xiner on his lap and sat down.

"It seems that I came to the right place this time. Maybe I can make a contribution again." Ling Xiner said as she turned her head and kissed Zhang Yunyuan on the forehead.

"Yes, Xin'er is the most capable."

"You should admit now that marrying me is the most right thing you have done in your life?" Ling Xiner pinched Zhang Yunyuan's cheek and asked proudly.

"I've always thought so. It's just that ordinary people have ordinary people's worries and constraints, and they can't do everything they want. You'll understand when you stay here for a long time."

"Although your body is mature, your mind and experience are far from enough, so what about everything?" Zhang Yunyuan was interrupted by Ling Xiner as soon as he spoke.

"So, I need to ask your opinion before I do anything and I can't be reckless, right?"

"You learn pretty quickly from what I say."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. You carry me to bed and let's go have a rest, okay?" Ling Xiner blinked her eyes, her eyes were a little tired. It was obvious that she was a little sleepy. Zhang Yunyuan hugged her to the bed. Coax her to sleep.

Zhang Yunyuan did not bother her tonight but hoped that she could have a good rest. After all, Ling Xiner would have to go deep into the sea to check the situation tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, the weather was very clear, which was very favorable for exploring under the sea.

Ling Xiner and others took a fishing boat to the place where they met the giant scorpion that day. She plunged into the sea and sank about twenty or thirty meters. At this time, her water-repelling beads lit up, surrounding her. The water was fully illuminated, and when she swam to the rock and touched it with her hand, the water-proof beads once again emitted green light and flickered.

Then she looked up and down along the rock and swam around it a few more times, but she couldn't find the entrance. However, Ling Xiner found a good way to open the rock.

She happily swam ashore and quickly told the good news to Xuantai, Baozi and others who were waiting for the news on the fishing boat.

"How's Xin'er? Have you found anything?" Xuantai asked anxiously.

"Uncle, I have discovered something. Let's go back and tell everyone in detail." Ling Xiner nodded.

"Okay, let's go back first." After saying that, a few people took the boat and rushed back to the island.

When Shangguan Hong saw Ling Xin'er coming back, he hurried forward to greet her.

"How is Xin'er? Are you sure?"

"Auntie, I'm sure this time there must be life inside." She came to the table and asked someone to get paper and pen to draw the underwater rock structure.

"Uncle, take a look, this is the underwater map. The rock is here, in the shape of an oval. It is very big, and the space inside can definitely build a room."

"There is a rock connected to the island at the bottom of the rock, and the connected part should be located directly at this location." Ling Xiner pointed to the location on the map.

"Isn't this a temple? Could it be that the old ghost opened a tunnel from under the temple and hid Long'er in the oval rock along the entrance of the tunnel? In other words, it should be a secret room there?" Shangguan Hong thought deeply for a moment and said.

"No, I don't think that old ghost necessarily knows that the temple is connected to the bottom of the rock. Didn't Tuyu say that he would blow up the entrance to the cave when he left? There is a barrier there. I think that barrier can directly lead to the inside of the rock, just casually When the barrier disappears, the entrance to the cave will no longer exist." Xuantai looked at the picture and considered it carefully.

"Anyway, if the temple can directly lead to the bottom extension of the secret chamber, then we will dig through it." Jin Chan paused.

"Yes, get through it, no matter whether Long Er is still alive or not, we have to see her." Shangguan Hong shed tears excitedly. After so many years, Long Jiaojiao finally found out her whereabouts.

"By the way, I'm going to write a letter to Mei Xichen and Shu Rong. I'll tell them the good news first. If Wu'an doesn't have any skilled craftsmen, let them send some craftsmen." After finishing speaking, Xuantai walked out of the living room and went straight to the study. .
