Kirin family

"Qilin Tomb?" Gu Ya pointed inside, and then looked at the small square on the door, he was not sure whether Qi Guanyan could open the door, it seemed very difficult.

"I guess there is still a long way to go." Qi Guanyan turned his head and smiled at him, "Don't worry, I know how to do this...Since the Qilin family pays attention to fate, it is naturally inseparable from the stars in the sky. Such doors are usually based on Qilin. The birthday of the current patriarch of the aristocratic family is used as the key, Qi Guanhong's birthday... I still remember it."

"Are you sure it's Qi Guanhong?" Gu Ya was a little worried: "Didn't Qi Guanhong say that he was going to pass it on to Qi Guanli?"

Qi Guanyan was also taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It should still be Qi Guanhong, after all Mrs. Yuan lives at the door of this place, and Qi Guanli shouldn't take over here no matter what."

Gu Ya nodded, took half a step back, pushed Liuyunjian silently, and put the sword at a height suitable for him to strike.

Qi Guanyan pinched his fingers and counted a few times. This kind of door is no different from the door of the secret passage above. It also uses nine wooden grids as a unit, counting three vertically and one horizontally. There are only 21 on this door. Just count.

Gu Ya didn't know exactly how Qi Guan's family counted, he could only see Qi Guanyan silent for a while thoughtfully, then suddenly moved his hands, and the small squares on it were pressed down one by one, the movements were smooth and smooth, After pressing 21 times in total, the stone gate began to make a slow and thick sound.

Qi Guanyan turned his head and smiled at him: "Master, am I good?"

Gu Ya nodded: "Excellent."

Qi Guanyan walked in contentedly, and behind the door was another spacious and deep secret passage, the structure of which was the same as the one outside, except that there were colored pictures painted on the walls on both sides, which seemed to be the relationship between a person and a unicorn. The story, Qi Guanyan is not interested in this story, he just hurried to go inside, Gu Ya glanced at it a little, only felt that this story was a bit bloody, and didn't know what the purpose of Qi Guan's family was to record this story.

At the end of the secret passage is another door. This door is completely different from the previous one. It is a smooth and flat jade door. The jade is so thick that you can't see what's on the other side, and you can't see any mechanism on it. Different from the doors that Qi Guanyan and the others encountered along the way, it seemed that they could not be opened by Qi Guan's usual methods.

Qi Guanyan pondered for a moment, and began to look for the place he had missed, and finally found a low round container in the corner of this door, it seemed that it should just fit a certain bead.

Gu Ya looked at Qi Guanyan, then at the container, unable to think of a solution for a while.

Qi Guanyan calmly took out a fiery red bead from his sleeve. He couldn't tell what its texture was, but he felt that it was eye-catching, and there was still a little heat in his hand. It seemed to be this bead. It will get hot by itself.

Qi Guanyan put this small bead into the container, behind the container was the jade gate, there seemed to be a difference in height between them, the small bead immediately rolled from one side of the container into the small hole under the jade gate.

Gu Ya stared blankly, but Qi Guanyan said quite proudly: "This is Phoenix tears. Legend has it that Phoenix's body is full of flames. Even if you cry, you can't shed tears, because once they come out of your eyes, they will disappear immediately. In the raging fire, it takes 100 years for one tear to roll down to the ground, and that is the tear of the phoenix.”

Gu Ya has heard of the name of Phoenix Tears. A few years ago, there was a Phoenix Tears in the largest trading house in Shannan, and it was bought at a high price almost as soon as it appeared, but he was not too impressed with this kind of jade. Interest, too, is only heard from among the gossiping servants.

"Why do you want this thing?" Gu Ya frowned and said, he was almost sure that the person who took the Phoenix Tears was Qi Guanyan, but he couldn't figure it out, it was just to open the door once, why did he need a Phoenix Tears as the key, It doesn't look like he will return the "key" either.

"Because the Qilin Tomb is a place of extreme sun." Qi Guanyan shrugged his shoulders: "Opening the door once may damage a lot of Huo Yuyu, so people who come here will bring some positive pearls. Huo Yuyu has hardly been found in these years. I had no choice but to make do with Phoenix Tears first, it seems to be useful."

Gu Ya nodded: "It means, to make up all the missing parts?"

Qi Guanyan replied with a smile: "A child can be taught."

After the door was opened, what appeared in front of it was a completely different scene from before.

Behind the door is a huge karst cave. There is a road connected to this door. It is said that it is a road, more like a "bridge" built on stones. Under the bridge is a fiery red. It doesn't look like a liquid, but I can't tell the truth. What is it.Above the head is a black dome, which can be seen to be very high. Their current location is probably halfway up the mountainside of Qilin Peak. Above is the land of Qilin Peak, and below is the bottom of Qilin Peak.

The bridge is not wide, but it's not too narrow either. Qi Guanyan and Gu Ya can still walk side by side. The bridge leads to the center of this huge karst cave. There is a platform there, which looks quite large.There are many bridges connected to it from the surrounding mountains. It should be the exit of secret roads in various places on Qilin Mountain, but the door there is not open. It seems that a road leads to the mountain with no exit. It is completely weird. .

Qi Guanyan took a step forward and tried to see if the current bridges in the forbidden area, where no one has visited for more than [-] years, can still support the weight of a person. After all, from their point of view just now, there is no Supported by objects, the distance between the mountain wall and the platform in the middle is not short. It is not safe to rely on the stone bridge alone for such a long distance.

Qi Guanyan stomped on it a few times, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he waved to Gu Ya.

As soon as Gu Ya stepped out of the previous secret path, a gust of hot air rushed towards his face. The temperature inside the cave was much higher than outside. It was already late autumn outside, and winter would be coming in a few days. , but it's like a dog day inside, it's so hot that people sweat profusely.

Gu Ya was alright, but Qi Guanyan's forehead was covered with sweat almost immediately.

"What's under here?" Gu Ya followed Qi Guan Yan's footsteps, lowered his head and looked under the bridge curiously: "It doesn't look like lava."

"It's not lava." Qi Guanyan shook his head: "Lava is natural, and although Qilin Mountain is geothermally hot, there is no lava in the mountain... But the Qilin family needs lava, so they will keep pouring things here... Here is Countless Fire Rain Jade, Koi Stones and Fire Dragon Balls."

That is to say, the Qilin family here artificially created a pool of "magma".

Even Gu Ya was a little dazed after hearing it. Although the Fire Rain Jade is not common, you can occasionally hear news about it in the Jianghu, but the Koi Stone and the Fire Dragon Ball have become legends in the Jianghu today.The koi stone is the mother body of the fire dragon ball, and the acquisition means that the carp leaps over the dragon's gate. The koi stone was first discovered by people. The koi stone is hot, the whole body is fiery red, and there are golden dark lines inside. Near the town, it is very rare, and many jade masters rush to buy it.

It was later discovered that after the koi stone is polished into a bead, if there is no golden pattern in that bead, then the bead will always heat up and glow faintly in the dark, which is called "Fire Dragon Bead". ".

The koi stones have disappeared from the rivers and lakes about 100 years ago. It is said that there are still a few pieces hidden in the palace, but they have never dared to be polished into fire dragon balls. The few remaining koi stones were destroyed.The fire dragon ball has been missing for a long time. Now the bead on the emperor's crown is said to be a few grades of the fire dragon ball. There is no golden pattern inside the bead, but the whole fire dragon ball is covered by a thin golden net It is rare to find koi stone with such peculiar patterns, and it is also very rare to have craftsmen who can carve it into such a shape.

But according to Qi Guanyan's words, what is stored here are the koi stones and fire dragon balls that the Qilin family scavenged from various places...Nowadays, even if only one fire dragon ball appears in the Jianghu, it will cause a sensation, let alone inside With such a large amount, it's no wonder that Qi Guanyan didn't seem to feel bad when he put a phoenix tear in. Although the phoenix tear was valuable, it was nothing compared to what was originally in the pool.

The platform in the middle of the karst cave seems to be really only built to connect the various bridges. This should be the connection between the secret passage and the secret passage. Zhou Yunfeng used this place to lead people to attack Qilin Villa. There are many secret treasures hidden in it. If he had seen such a scene back then, he would have been greedy for the wealth of Qilin Villa.

It's a pity that there is no way to go down here. Even Gu Ya's qinggong dare not go up and down at will. There are a large number of gemstones and jade piled up below, and the temperature emitted has long exceeded the temperature imagined at ordinary times. Standing on the bridge feels steamy. If you go down, you will be scalded immediately.

Otherwise, Zhou Yunfeng probably wouldn't let go of such a large piece of koi stones and fire dragon balls. Even if he paid tribute to the imperial court, he would surely get a large reward.

There was nothing on the flat ground, and it was too dark to see what was around. There was no lamp in the cave, and Qi Guanyan didn't have a lighting guide, it all depended on the red light from the stones below the ground.

"Master," Qi Guanyan suddenly said in a daze, "I remembered something."

Gu Ya was taken aback: "What?"

Qi Guanyan touched his nose in embarrassment: "We are going to the Qilin Tomb, right? I want to return the Qilin Armor... But I found that I didn't bring the Qilin Armor with me."

Gu Ya was taken aback, raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What did you say?"

Qi Guanyan said helplessly: "When we arrived at the Tianyuan Inn, didn't we intend to stay overnight? I asked Duoduo to come to me tomorrow with the unicorn armor... Who knew that we immediately went up the mountain from the secret road, and came in almost non-stop I didn’t realize it until I got here, I didn’t wear a unicorn armor at all, did I?”

Gu Ya didn't know what to say for a while, so he looked at him and said, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Qi Guanyan rubbed his nose: "Can the owner run down the mountain for me, Duoduo will be here tomorrow..." He raised his hem embarrassingly, exposing his ankles: "Actually...just now It's a bit bad, I'll wait for you here, I guess it's too late outside... I just need to trouble the owner."
