Yin Yang

After tossing for a while, after Yixiu and Su Yi came out of the room, it was only 06:30, and the sun had just risen.

There were already a few people on the deck, and a busy scene could be seen through the transparent glass of the cafeteria. Yixiu and Su Yi, who were wearing sportswear, walked into the restaurant, and the restaurant manager was busy ordering the waiters to move the plates. I was stunned, and hurriedly greeted him: "Captain Yi, you are so early, our side is not ready yet, it's a little messy..."

Yixiu frowned, he didn't expect them to come early.Although he was not in a hurry, he couldn't just wait, so he said, "Is there anything to eat? Let's just eat whatever we want, and we can eat whatever we have."

The manager of the restaurant secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to let Yixiu wait for them, so he quickly ordered a few waiters to speed up and set up the plates, so that Yixiu and the two of them could eat first.

And Yixiu and Su Yi didn't care about the busy scene around them. They took food from the plates that had been placed on the table, then turned around, walked to a table, sat down, and ate slowly.

Because you don't really swim in the water, you don't need to go into the water on an empty stomach.Because there was a big Buddha sitting in the dining room, everyone couldn't help speeding up their movements a lot, setting the plates faster than usual, and then when the early risers walked into the restaurant, they were all confused by the look of being ready to greet them. Leng.

Many people began to eat breakfast in the restaurant one after another. The originally very quiet restaurant suddenly became noisy. People from Tianxuanzong and Ziweizong also came down. Ren Xinghuo from Ziweizong saw them and said: Came over to say hello.Yixiu glanced at him, nodded perfunctorily, Ren Xinghuo accepted him as soon as he saw it, and stopped being annoying.

There were more and more people in the restaurant, Yixiu was still eating, Su Yi was full, and was drinking a cup of freshly squeezed soy milk.

After eating the food on the plate, Yixiu took a sip of the soy milk next to him, then looked at Su Yi and asked, "Let's go shopping in the secret realm today and see if there is anything special."

Su Yi nodded, and after they sat in the dining room to rest for a while, they got up and walked out of the dining room to the railing on the deck.

Just as they were about to step over the railing and enter the sea, suddenly a distant "Captain Yi!" shouted to stop Yixiu and the others.

When Yixiu turned his head, he saw Ren Xinghuo striding forward with a big smile on his face. He didn't say until he was two or three meters away from Yixiu and the two of them, "It's the first time Captain Yi came to the South China Sea. In the secret realm, let me say more. There is a trading market in the secret realm, and it is usually held on the third day in the square in the center of the secret realm, Captain Yi, don’t miss it.”

Yixiu looked at him coldly. The way he acted just now made people who didn't know how good their relationship was. The group of Tianxuanzong people headed by Guo Feiming stood watching from a distance, and their expressions were indeterminate. ugly.

Although he didn't like the Tianxuanzong group, Yixiu didn't want to be used by others.He sneered and said loudly, "Just remember to line up in the future."

Yixiu and the others happened to be standing in the upwind direction. The words were spread far away in an instant, and most people on the deck heard them.

After finishing speaking, Yixiu didn't even look at Ren Xinghuo whose face changed suddenly, hugged Su Yi and jumped into the sea, falling into the water with a plop.

Transparent bubbles enveloped them again, leading them to dive into the dark deep sea.

The morning sun was not too bright and dazzling, so the sea around the vortex was darker than yesterday.After the familiar tremors and rotations, the air bubbles were spewed out by the pattern mask again, flying towards a vast ancient city.

This time the bubble lasted a little longer, and flew a certain distance before falling continuously, breaking with a "boo".

Yixiu hugged Su Yi, and stepped hard on the stone wall that was so broken that only a section of the ground remained, and it fell firmly to the ground.

This time they seem to have landed in a small alley, with broken and uneven stone walls extending to both sides, enclosing the two dilapidated buildings next to them.

Su Yi looked around, and followed Yixiu to a direction that looked like a road on one side.

I don't know what age this ancient city was, and I don't know how long it has been sinking here. It is lonely and silent waiting for the visitors who come every time the secret realm is opened.And every time it was only noisy for a moment, it returned to silence and waited for the next opening time.

At this time, they could see other people from time to time. Compared with Yixiu and the two who seemed to be wandering around, they were not in a leisurely mood, looking in a hurry, rummaging through the pile of rocks, searching for all possible useful resources .

Su Yi saw that someone had dug out some gray crystals, and a faint light slowly overflowed from those crystals.Yixiu explained to him: "That is called Haijing, the blue one, which can purify materials, and it is the main product of this secret realm."

Su Yi nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "This is an ancient city, aren't there any ancient relics left behind?"

Yixiu twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Of course there are, but they were all looted by people like locusts. This secret land in the South China Sea has been born for a long time, and it seems to have something to do with the ancient Haoge sect. The ancient Haoge sect Its existence was also confirmed because of this secret realm, and now many records about the ancient Xuanmen come from this secret realm."

He kicked a piece of gravel away at his feet, and continued lazily: "Someone once found a powerful magic weapon in ancient times in the secret realm of the South China Sea. It seems that the piece of white jade that Pu Daozi asked you to wear was also found here. Afterwards The secret realm of the South China Sea became very popular in Xuanmen in an instant, and countless people rushed in to search every inch of it after the secret realm was opened. You can see that this piece of ruins is not necessarily when it was destroyed.”

Hearing this, Su Yi lowered his head and touched the piece of white jade gossip on his chest, and glanced at the broken stone wall next to him.There is a section of the stone wall that is obviously different from the weathered and flattened section next to it, and it looks like it was broken not long ago.

He raised his head and looked into the distance. There were still some uncollapsed buildings standing silently inside the ancient city, and the sloping roofs made of stone slabs were lined up row upon row.The strange large stone-polished walls, the broken and weathered wooden doors and windows, the dilapidated decorations on the building and the gray color blocks of different shades seem to still retain the former style of this ancient city.

"Let's go inside and have a look, maybe we can go in and walk around." Su Yi pointed to the ancient buildings in the distance that were high in the middle and low in the surroundings, and said.

Yixiu had no objection, and the two of them walked to the central area.They moved forward along a stone-paved main road, and the buildings on the side of the road obviously changed from a mess of ruins to slowly taking on the form of houses and gradually becoming complete.

Su Yi looked at these dilapidated buildings curiously, and when he encountered a stone house with a relatively intact structure, he would drag Yixiu in for a walk, and Yixiu followed behind indulgently, helping him prevent any potential collapse and injury risks of.

It's just that these stone houses are usually empty, only the rotten wood and gravel dust that are so pale that they can be broken at the touch of a touch, and only some furniture that can barely be seen what it used to be can be identified.

Occasionally, Su Yi could follow the slowly drifting white light to find some sea crystals in the crevices of the wall and among the piles of rocks. Every time they randomly dug some purer ones and put them in their backpacks, they didn't look for them specially. thing.

They were walking around in the building complex, Su Yi raised his head and looked forward, suddenly froze for a moment.He tugged on Yixiu's sleeve, pointed to a building not far away and said softly, "There is a faint beam of light over there..."

Yixiu looked in the direction he was pointing at, just in time to see a group of people coming out of that stone room in a hurry, striding towards the next stone room.

"The room where someone came out just now?" Yixiu lowered his head and asked Su Yi.

Su Yi nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, the beam is still there."

Hearing this, Yixiu immediately took Su Yi to the stone house.This stone house looks larger and more spacious than the stone houses next to it. Judging from the remaining colors and decorations on the outer wall, it is estimated that it has been visited many times.As soon as they walked in, it was really empty and there was nothing there.

Su Yi raised his head and looked around for a week, then led Yixiu to the back of the stone house.

They walked into the lobby at the back of the stone house, and in the middle there was a huge stone statue that had collapsed and was as tall as two people. However, the stone statue was already broken, and a large piece was broken from the neck all the way down.

Yixiu looked around at the empty lobby except for the stone statue and stone platform, and looked at Su Yi.And Su Yi walked around the base of the stone statue twice, pointed at the bottom of the stone statue like a whole stone base and said, "Inside!"

They studied this stone for a long time, but no matter how they looked at it, it was just an ordinary stone with no cracks on it, it was completely a square stone pier.

Yixiu looked at it for a moment, told Su Yi to stay away, then raised his hand, the light was concentrated on his fist, and he punched towards the stone seat!

There was a huge muffled "boom", and the huge stone seat was torn apart!

Yixiu waved the floating stone chips, kicked the gravel away with a few kicks, and picked up a pendant from the ground.

Su Yi looked forward curiously, and found that it was a rough pendant, a long pendant strung together by a soft and tough rope.The most conspicuous thing on the pendant is an egg-sized oval golden sun crystal that is netted with a rope, and the crystals that contain many tiny light spots are polished to be extremely smooth.

At the bottom of the pendant was a dusty metal piece and a few scattered beads. Yixiu wiped the metal piece with his fingers, carefully looked at the blurred totem on it, and said in a low voice, "This is the same as that of Hao Hao. Song Zong's totem is very similar."

Su Yi suddenly remembered what Yixiu had said about the connection between this ancient city and Haogezong.

After putting away the pendant, they walked out of the stone house, and when they were about to continue walking, Su Yi suddenly heard a very slight bell.

The voice was somewhat familiar, and he subconsciously turned his head, only to see a black robe corner with a small bell disappearing around a corner.

"It's Feng Qingwei!" Surprised, Su Yi hurriedly dragged Yixiu to the corner.

Yixiu froze for a moment, but was staggered by Su Yi.He didn't expect to meet Feng Qingwei here, he quickly stabilized his figure, and chased after Su Yi.

The two ran around the corner, and Su Yi looked in the direction where Feng Qingwei disappeared, and found that she was standing in the distance, looking up at a certain building on the street.There were four companions who turned their backs to Su Yi and they hurriedly walked along this road. They didn't notice Feng Qingwei standing on the side of the road at all. In their eyes, there was nothing beside them except dilapidated buildings.

Su Yi immediately pulled Yixiu and ran over, but Feng Qingwei didn't seem to notice them, she just stood there, staring fixedly at this stone house that looked the same as the one next to it, her pale lips pursed slightly, There seemed to be some kind of complex emotion contained in the eyes, and the whole person was shrouded in a kind of deep bewilderment and sadness.

However, before Su Yi could call her to stop, she withdrew her gaze and disappeared without a trace.

Su Yi froze for a moment, paused in his footsteps, and murmured, "She disappeared again..."

Yixiu looked at the building that was no different from before, and asked in a low voice, "Did you see what she was doing?"

Su Yi wandered his eyes for a moment, pointed to a three-story stone house that was relatively well preserved, and said, "She looks sad over there..."

Yixiu searched for a while before finding the stone house Su Yi pointed to. He frowned slightly and said, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

They immediately approached the stone house, and as soon as they approached the seemingly unremarkable stone house, Su Yi was taken aback suddenly, and whispered: "Zhiwen..."

There are only a few dense array patterns covering the hidden corners of this stone house, and the traces are quite new compared to the stone house.If Su Yi hadn't approached, he wouldn't have noticed that there were still patterns hidden in the corner here.

Yixiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Array patterns? No wonder, just now I always felt like this room was ignored by my perception shield, and I couldn't find it as soon as I opened my eyes."

Su Yi carefully sensed the power of the pattern on the stone house, and said, "This is a pattern with a concealing effect."

I saw Feng Qingwei standing in front of this house before, but now I find that there is actually a pattern of protection. It is very strange to divert this stone house from everyone's sight.

Yixiu narrowed his eyes, looked up at the dark door opening of this stone house, and said in a low voice, "Let's go in."

As soon as he entered the stone house, the things inside were really different from the other stone houses outside that had been ransacked.There are still broken decorative cloths hanging on the walls of the stone house. A long white fang hangs above the decorative cloths, and a broken totem looms on the strips of decorative cloths.Some dilapidated things were piled up in the corner, covered with a layer of ash, most of the rotten old wooden furniture had been dilapidated, only stone benches and chairs remained.

Yixiu looked around and said, "Look around to see if there is anything."

Su Yi nodded, his eyes fell on the decorative cloth.He was about to walk over when Yixiu grabbed his arm suddenly.

"Wait a minute." Yixiu frowned and looked at the dust covering the whole room. With a flick of his shoulders, he threw the bag on his back in front of him, rummaged through it, and found a mask and some gloves .

Putting the mask on for Su Yi and handing him the gloves, Yixiu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go."

Su Yi lowered his head and adjusted the position of the mask, put on the gloves again, and then turned and walked towards the piece of decorative cloth that was shattered and only left with strands of broken cloth strips.

A lot of frizzy lines branched out from the light gray decorative cloth strips, and the silk threads were hardened and blackened. It seemed that a few pulls would completely destroy the cloth.Su Yi stared closely at the fuzzy totem on the cloth strips, stretched out his hand, and fiddled with the entangled cloth strips very lightly, separated them one by one, and pieced together the patterns on the cloth.

Yixiu, who was squatting in the corner and picking up the messy things, noticed Su Yi's movement, clapped his hands, got up and walked over, helped him hold down the slightly shaking cloth strips, and helped him piece together the totem.

Many of the cloth strips are in a mess, and a little forceful pulling will tear these already tattered cloth strips completely loose and deformed.Su Yi smoothed them out very carefully, and patiently put them together piece by piece, gradually creating an incomplete half of the totem.

Su Yi looked at it and found that he didn't know what kind of totem it was.The edge of this totem is irregular, crooked lines are crowded together, and the content of the totem cannot be recognized at all when most of it is missing.However, he felt that the twisted lines that made up the totem looked a bit like array patterns.

"Wait, I'll take a picture of this totem." Yixiu carefully let go of one hand, took out his phone from his trouser pocket, and took a photo of the totem spelled out on the wall.

"Okay, let's look for something else." Yixiu looked down at the photos on the phone, put the phone back in his trouser pocket, and split up with Su Yi to find out if there was anything else.

The first floor of the stone house is mainly a hall, behind which there is a kitchen and several rooms of unknown purpose.I don’t know how long this ancient city has been sunk on the bottom of the sea. The only valuable thing on the first floor of the stone house is the half-broken totem. The result is some junk that I don't know what it is.

There was nothing left on the first floor, so they quickly walked to the second floor of the stone house.

Yixiu said to Su Yi: "I don't know if there is any danger above. Let's stay together as much as possible later."

Su Yi nodded, and Yixiu turned around and stepped on the rough stone steps to the second floor.

The stone house was also very stable. Yixiu took the lead and stepped up to the second floor. Seeing that there was no problem, Su Yi followed up to the second floor.

There were obviously more things on the second floor, and a small hall with no useful things appeared first in front of them. They searched for nothing, and then walked to the room separated by the stone wall next to them.There are several different rooms next to the small hall. They first walked into a room that was obviously in the middle, and found that it might be the former owner's bedroom.

An empty stone bed was placed in a square on one side of the room, decayed wooden tables and wooden cabinets fell to one side, and the same old and blackened broken cloth fell on the ground, covered with dust.

Su Yi looked at the room quietly, and suddenly said, "There should have been two people living here."

Yixiu looked back at him, and saw Su Yi pointing to the two broken pillow-shaped objects on the stone bed and said, "There are two things here, and there should be two people living here together."

Yixiu looked around thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Maybe."

Judging from some small things found later, it is obvious that a mistress once lived here, but except for those things that are in pairs, there is no trace of another person's life.

There was no more information in this bedroom. They quickly walked out of the bedroom and continued to look at the next room.But they soon discovered another bedroom, which obviously had traces of a different male owner from the bedroom just now.

Yixiu casually threw a piece of broken wood in his hand to the ground, and said with a half-smile, "I thought it was a couple, but now it seems that they are young lovers who haven't caught up yet?"

Su Yi shook his head. Without more information, these speculations are unreliable.

When they walked into the last spacious room, Su Yi and Yixiu were taken aback, looking around the room suspiciously.

This room is so different from the previous ones, the whole room is very empty, only a layer of gravel and dust accumulated on the ground.Yixiu looked at it for a moment, and suddenly his eyes became fixed. He strode into the edge of a stone wall in the room, and gently stroked the uneven marks on it.

Su Yi walked in and looked at Yixiu inexplicably.Yixiu carefully looked at the traces on the stone wall, and said in a low voice, "This is the trace left by the aftermath of the attack. Many of them are very dense, and they should be superimposed continuously. This is probably the place where the original owner trained. powerful."

Su Yi nodded thoughtfully, and then walked to the third floor with Yixiu.

Although there were many things on the second floor, and some information about the original owner of the stone house was revealed, they didn't find anything special except for the totem on the first floor.Feng Qingwei is too mysterious, she will not stand in front of such an artificially hidden stone house for no reason, even though this stone house looks very ordinary.

No, the mere fact that this stone house was hidden was enough to prove that it was not ordinary, and they could only hope that something could be found on the third floor.

As soon as they went up to the third floor, Yixiu and the two couldn't help but their eyes lit up.The third floor is a space like a small attic. On one side of the attic, several broken and decayed wooden frames have collapsed, revealing many old books and bamboo slips underneath.On the other side is a long stone table, scattered with some decayed and useless materials and ancient tools, it looks like a place where the original owner made things.

Yixiu said to Su Yi: "You go to the bookcase, and I'll look at the stone table over there. If you don't understand the words on the book, take a picture first and then talk about it."

Su Yi nodded, and explored the attic with Yixiu at two ends.He walked to the bookshelf piled with many waste wooden boards, carefully moved those wooden boards, and took out the books pressed under the wooden boards very lightly, and carefully flipped through them.

It is a pity that the paper and bamboo slips of many books have decayed over the long years. Many of them are aged, moldy, corroded and acidified.However, most of the ancient books on silk have blurred handwriting, and it is impossible to recognize the handwriting on them.No matter how careful Su Yi was, he could only see a small part.

Sweat dripped from Su Yi's forehead, and he sat on his knees and carefully took pictures of all the ancient books with recognizable complicated handwriting, and cleaned the messy bookcase bit by bit.

On the other side, Yixiu walked to the stone table, gently picked up a trace of black ash on the stone table, took a look, and picked up all kinds of old and rough tools on the stone table to study, and confirmed that they were ancient A tool for making magical instruments and potions.

His eyes fell on several stone boxes next to the stone table.He covered his nose and vigorously opened one of the stone boxes, only to see a black air mixed with rotten breath spreading out from the opened stone box. Yixiu took a glance at it and immediately closed the stone box.

Inside the stone box are some rotten and useless spiritual plants, and the smell inside may contain toxins.Yixiu's eyes quickly turned to another stone box, and after holding his nose and vigorously opening it again, he looked at the things inside, and immediately frowned, noticing something was wrong.

The box had been opened and there were signs of rummaging through the contents.

Yixiu raised his head and looked at the five stone boxes around him. The stone box that was opened just now had obvious signs of new opening, and there was another one that showed signs of opening.The trace is not very new, it is estimated that someone who came here earlier opened it, but he did not understand why only these two of the five stone boxes were opened.

Yixiu frowned as he looked at the half box of unfinished magic weapon embryos piled up in the stone box, and reached out to rummage inside.

Most of the magic weapon embryos left in the stone box were useless things, and Yixiu estimated that they were used to draw patterns.He searched for a long time, but found nothing, and immediately turned around and opened another stone box with traces of opening. After a look, it turned out to be another half box of unfinished magic weapon embryos.He frowned, and continued to search.

On the dilapidated bookshelf, Su Yi learned some ancient characters because of the old man's notebook, but he still couldn't understand the characters in these ancient books.He patiently took pictures one by one, and when he finished taking a copy, there were still some burnt black silk threads left, and the bamboo slips were almost scattered. He carefully moved the bamboo slips aside, and dug out the next ancient book from the wooden board .

This is an ancient paper book that has already been damaged by half. Holding his breath, Su Yi carefully flipped through the paper that was missing nearly half of its pages, and began to take pictures of the contents inside.

He flipped through the pages one by one, and the crunchy and yellowed pages would shatter into countless pieces with a little force. Su Yi took pictures, patiently turned the next page, raised the phone to focus, and then pressed the camera button.

Suddenly, he stared at the phone screen for a moment, then turned to look at the text on the ancient book.

Those two words... are "Hong" and "Cloud"?

Su Yi opened his eyes slightly, Hongyun, Ni Hongyun?
