Small universe of the last days

Chapter 40 Cold Spring Ice Lotus

Ye Qing asked to take a picture inside with a flashlight. Inside was a small stone room. If they all squeezed in, there would be no room for them to turn around. The stone room was clear at a glance. There were no treasures and no way out. Ye Qingrang felt it. Next, there was no particularly strong aura fluctuation, but Zong Yu refused to leave inside, because he was afraid of the dark and worried that He Chengshuang and the others would leave. He ran to the end of the stone room to scratch the wall, and then ran to the opening to shout at everyone. , the small appearance is cute and funny.

He Rong looked at Ye Qingrang, who frowned slightly, and walked in first. When he saw He Rong, Zong Yu was obviously relieved, and happily went up to lick the corner of He Rong's mouth, and He Rong shook his mouth beard, follow it in.

He Chengshuang took the flashlight from Jiang Ruoyu's hand and handed it to Ye Qingrang, he raised his hand and said to Jiang Ruoyu, "It seems there is a way, go ahead and have a look."

Jiang Ruoyu followed He Chengshuang's tacit understanding for more than ten years, understood what he meant, stepped in with long legs, walked to the place where Zong Yu had been persistently scratching, and groped carefully with his right hand.

"nothing special."

He Chengshuang thought for a while: "It should be very deep, otherwise the exploration team would not have discovered it, so let's melt it first."

Jiang Ruoyu nodded, the stone wall under his hand was like quicksand, and the stars fell, forming a big hole at the height of his waist that only allowed one person to pass through.

Jiang Ruoyu saw the right direction, so he simply leaned in, but dug deeper and deeper, Hua Hanzhang, who was guarding outside after a quarter of an hour, completely lost his figure in his eyes, Zong Yu felt the cold air coming from the depths, and jumped up Just wanted to get in, but was caught by He Rong.

From the corner of Ye Qing's eyes, he saw Hua Hanzhang's toes moving slightly forward. Although there was no strange expression on his face, he was worried in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly felt funny.

After another 10 minutes, white lights flashed three times at the entrance of the cave, and He Chengshuang gestured to Ye Qingrang, which meant that the situation was okay, and it took another 10 minutes, still three times of white lights.The continuous use of spiritual power for more than half an hour is probably not a small burden for Jiang Ruoyu. Ye Qingrang thinks it is a good thing. Waiting for Jiang Ruoyu to meditate next time, the absorption and mastery of spiritual power will be more effective.

Suddenly, a light came from the other side of the stone chamber cave, which lasted for three seconds, three times in a row.He Chengshuang said to He Rong, "Go first." He Rong jumped into the cave with all fours, and Zong Yu was in a hurry to keep up. One leopard and one cat were so fast that they reached the other side in a few minutes.

Followed by Hua Hanzhang, Ye Qingrang, and He Chengshuang last.The three of them crawled along this "temporary" passage for more than five minutes before reaching the opposite side. There was a chill in their face, even Ye Qingrang couldn't help shivering, Hua Hanzhang was already shivering , and even noticed that the spiritual power that was not flowing smoothly in the body was becoming more and more sluggish, and Jiang Ruoyu himself had consumed a lot of spiritual energy, and his face was even more ugly at this moment, and his lips were peeling.

He Chengshuang raised his flashlight and looked around, and found that the surrounding area was densely covered with upside-down stalactites, the sound of dripping water reverberated in the space, and water splashes suddenly appeared under his feet when some kind of creature disturbed him.

He Chengshuang used the flashlight to follow the sound of the spray, and saw a white reptile with long forearms lying on the edge of the shallow stream, with reddish cheeks standing on both sides of its snake-like head, opening and closing as it breathed, Illuminated by the light beam, the originally light white and slightly transparent creature suddenly changed color. The half immersed in the water became transparent, and the half lying on the ground suddenly became the same as the earthy brown ground. When the water surface moved, it was caught. Startled by the sudden light, he fled away in an instant.

Hua Hanzhang saw that the thing had no eyes, and said in surprise: "This seems to be an olm? No, the olm was found in the underground water veins of the limestone caves in the Alps. The distribution area is from the Isonzo River near Trieste, Italy. Basin, I saw it once when I went abroad, and I was very impressed, it seems that there are some differences, and I have never heard that the olm can be 'invisible'."

He Chengshuang was too lazy to drop the book bag with him, but thought of the other side: "No matter what the reason is, this kind of olm has evolved a kind of protective color. If they intend to attack sneakily, we may not be able to guard against them."

Ye Qingrang said: "I don't think there is any need to worry about it for the time being. This kind of creature lives in the dark underground all year round. We have both 'light' and He Rong. It's not that we don't have the power to protect ourselves. The temperature here is too low. For a long time, even if there are no enemies, we will not be able to bear it, so it is better to take out the torch and use it."

Everyone else agreed on this point. He Chengshuang and Jiang Ruoyu took the homemade torches tied outside their backpacks and lit them, and immediately illuminated their surroundings. The beam of the flashlight is too concentrated, and sometimes it is not as easy to use as these "low-tech" things.

He Rong himself is not afraid of the cold, but because of the attribute of spiritual power, it is always uncomfortable to enter here. On the other hand, Zongyu is like a tiger returning to the mountain. A pair of light blue pupils are comparable to peerless gems, shining brightly under the firelight. It made Ye Qing laugh at it: "When I first saw you, you were shaking like that, so it wasn't because of the cold, but because of fear!"

Zong Yu recalled the scene of being besieged by a group of hooligans that day, and sadly ran to He Rong's side. Those people wanted it to die, and they would kill it, but He Rong and the others gave it food and drink, and took good care of it. Everything in the world has its own. Ling, not to mention Zong Yu's intelligence, how could it not be happy when it felt Ye Qing's kindness to Hua Hanzhang.

The few people went around in the cave with complicated paths, all relying on the "living map" of Zongyu. There seemed to be something in the depths of the cave that attracted it. When the four of them broke through a rock wall again, they seemed to fall into another world!

Nine stone pillars hang down in a stone room of about [-] square meters. The stone pillars and the four stone walls are densely covered with pieces of purple-pink crystals. Clusters of crystals bloom like flowers, and each "petal" is like a sword pointing at the sky. Transparent, spreading lavender and light pink along the "sword body", nine crystal stone pillars prop up the room full of prosperity, a spring of clear water surrounds the center of the stone pillars, there is a stone platform in the middle of the spring water, and on the stone platform grows a curd flower Like a flower bud, the light blue petals are hugged into a ball, shrouded in a faint layer of cold air, very pure and pure.

He Chengshuang held up the torches, and the bright flames scattered on the spar, and the dense purple-pink crystals reflected layers of fluorescence, like the waves of the sea in the setting sun, and the waves hit the faces of the four people, like a dream.In particular, Ye Qingrang and Hua Hanzhang's appearance was already touching, but they provoked the other two tall men so that their feet took root and they became intoxicated.

Zong Yu meowed, interrupting the crowds, Ye Qingrang and He Chengshuang walked towards the lotus pond in the middle, but Hua Hanzhang and Jiang Ruoyu didn't dare to take another step, the temperature here was extremely cold, their spiritual power was not comparable to Ye Qingrang's Changjiu and He Chengshuang's depth, it is not wise to approach rashly.

He Rong was quite afraid of the flower buds in the cold spring, so he spun around impatiently and refused to go forward. Ye Qing used his luck to walk to the edge of the cold spring with all his spiritual power, and only then did he see the true face of the flower buds.

The cold spring is only one meter in diameter, and Ye Qingrang can touch the stone platform with his hand. The stone platform is not a stone platform, but a flat dark dark green lotus leaf. The flower bud turned out to be an unopened lotus bud, half foggy The transparent light blue ice lotus, the milky white chill visible to the naked eye emerges from the outermost petals of the ice lotus. He Chengshuang tried to get close to the torch to see what happened. A basin of cold water, and it was completely extinguished with a puff.

He Chengshuang let out a "tsk", and glanced at He Rong who was staring at Zongyu not far away. He Rong reluctantly spit a fireball at He Chengshuang's torch stretched in mid-air. In a few seconds, the torch was burned down to nothing, but now it is barely ignited, keeping it alive by the cold spring.

Ye Qingrang slowly stretched out his right hand, and slowly probed towards the spirit flower, but his eyes were fixed on the bottomless spring water, fearing that there would be man-eating monsters dormant in the unknown water.

The spring water was silent, but Ye Qing let him worry too much. In fact, he didn't need any guardian spirit beasts, and he couldn't shake the ice lotus. His fingertips were half way away from the ice lotus, and they were covered with hoarfrost, and he lost consciousness from the cold. If it gets closer to half a point, I'm afraid this hand should be useless.

Ye Qing let the regret go away, walked back to Jiang Ruoyu with He Chengshuang and shook his head, "Hanquan is too cold, it's hard to get close."

Hua Hanzhang rubbed his hands: "The Jinshan is in front of us, but we can't move it away, so we have no other choice?"

Ye Qingrang carefully searched the items in Xiao Qiankun in his mind, and shook his head again: "There is no way for now."

"Since there is no other way, it's better to leave as soon as possible." Hua Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief: "This place is as beautiful as it is beautiful. It's so cold that even the bones hurt from the cold. I really don't have the blessing to bear it."

Ye Qingrang shook his head for the third time and said: "You don't know about this, don't you think the only treasure here is Binglian?"

Hua Hanzhang was startled when he heard the words, looked up and asked, "You mean...these pink crystals? Or is there something good that I don't know about?"

Ye Qingrang nodded: "It's true that these crystals are true, but unfortunately you don't know why, do you know why I say these crystals are treasures?"

Hua Hanzhang smiled and said: "If you ask me this way, then the benefits of these crystals must not be measured by worldly eyes. If they are only calculated in terms of money, although they can be called unique, they can't stand up to you. Praise!"

Ye Qingrang continued to ask: "Hanzhang, have you ever thought about it? How do we improve ourselves through cultivation? We rely on the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth. But the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth is weak, when will the great road be achieved in the long run?"

Hua Hanzhang was originally exquisite and clear, and at this moment, he could understand at one point, with excitement in his eyes, he looked at the crystals in the room and asked suspiciously: "You mean, the crystals contain more intense aura, which can be absorbed and practiced by us?"

"Not only these crystals, but also all kinds of jade, and even many natural and earthly treasures, which may not be unusable for us!"
