Chapter 180 Mother Plant
Chapter 180 Mother Plant
The Dongting Lake was covered with dark clouds.
The dense trees on the island looked blurry and unreal in the thick rain and fog.
Big drops of rain fell.
The bloodstains on the bodies of several people, which were originally as bright as ink, were quickly washed away and turned into a light red.
The water prison is located in the back mountain of the Song Family Ancestral Hall.
The pool is deep and is surrounded by two mountain ridges, connecting with the lake in the low-lying area.
The person guarding the water dungeon was a young girl wearing a light-colored dress with a wide straw raincoat on the outside.
The MC called her respectfully: "Miss Chi, I'm bringing people here."
Miss Chi was stunned.
She had a beautiful face, but for some reason, the system shuddered slightly the moment it saw her.
The system hissed: [I feel a little uneasy. ]
Chu Yan: [It’s okay.]
side.
The master of ceremonies has a low level of cultivation and is good at observing people's words and expressions.
He served Chu Yan carefully all the way, and the host immediately gave instructions without Master Chu saying anything.
"Even if Dao Lian has intelligence, she will still feel lonely."
"On the day of Miss Chi's wedding, she came to the ancestral temple to worship her ancestors. For some reason, Dao Lian liked her, so Grand Master Songyang ordered Miss Chi to be sent to keep her company - as for the bride of that day, she would be replaced by another one."
"For thousands of years, in every generation, several girls with good character and appearance were sent here. Daolian is the most precious treasure of the clan, and the girls who accompany Daolian are also regarded as auspicious. After a few years, when they leave this pond, several young masters of the main family will fight to marry them back."
Chu Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Miss Chi in front of him. She was living a very good life. She didn't have the tension of studying hard, nor did she have the common class atmosphere of office workers. She lived a life of luxury and even when facing the children of the Song family, there was a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
As if she was above them.
Chu Yan: [It seems that every weirdo has his own Chu Nuannuan. ]
The system was horrified: [What! Could it be that——]
Miss Chi's bamboo pavilion is spacious and elegant in the misty rain.
Through the window screen, you can see inside the house, and you can see that everything from food to clothing is exquisite.
She came up and said with a smile, "I always thought that this pond was a bit lonely, but I didn't expect that there would be a sister to keep me company, and a sister who is as beautiful as a fairy. Take a look first and see if the layout here suits your taste. If you need anything, I will ask them to send some more things in."
The MC coughed and said in fear: "I think we should send Miss Chu... Miss Chu to the bottom of the pond first. Don't delay Miss Chu's important business."
Chu Yan was not in a hurry.
She walked into the bamboo pavilion and looked around.
The furnishings are quite antique, but the electronic equipment is also complete. On the bookshelf, there are all kinds of books and magazines, occasionally there are a few old books with yellowed covers peeling off, who knows how many years they have been there, and there is an unfinished chess game next to the desk.
Chu Yan suddenly said, "Miss Chi lives alone here, and there is someone to play chess with you."
Miss Chi said, "I just made random moves according to the chessboard."
Chu Yan nodded: "Add me in, and we can have three families playing Landlord."
Miss Chi: “Okay—”
She paused for a moment, secretly shocked: "What are you talking about? From now on, it's just you and me here."
Chu Yan raised his eyebrows:
"Isn't there another one?"
"What a coincidence! I came here today just for it. Please lead the way to the dungeon to see it."
The other person's face turned pale.
When approaching the pool of water, Song Ling shrank back.
The mother plant of the Taoist seed has a very strong suppression on him. He is also a traitor and a guide in the strange world, a complete traitor. Every step forward seems to be a threat to his life.
After repeatedly and sincerely requesting Chu Yan, he was allowed to wait outside the dungeon.
Seeing that Song Ling did not leave, the master of ceremonies also stayed outside the door obediently.
Thus, only Chu Yan and Miss Chi were left in the dank dungeon corridor.
It was a passage dug out from the side of the pond, surrounded by basalt eroded by the lake water. Huge stone slabs covered the narrow corridor leading to the water dungeon to prevent the building from collapsing. Blue bricks were laid under the stone slabs and reinforced with rammed earth. It was similar to the common tomb passage structure in the Qin and Han dynasties. I don't know how many times it has been repaired in the past few thousand years, but it looks neat and thorough now.
And reached the bottom of the tunnel.
The mottled bronze chain was covered with traces of rust from the years, with algae entangled in the bumpy patina. The other end of the chain was immersed in the dark and smelly water, and it was unknown what huge creature was locked inside.
Occasionally, bubbles would appear on the water's surface, but the rising gas was disgusting, as if the bottom of the water was a pool of rotting, swollen, giant dead meat.
And the water dungeon that appeared several times in my memory.
How similar.
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes.
Fine sword marks can be seen on the surrounding bricks and stones, and even on the chains.
The sword marks were extremely sharp, and the master's precise eyesight allowed her to clearly see the shape of the blade and the points of force. In some places, she could even see the sword marks left by the patterns on the blade.
And the sword marks seen in the Sutra Repository.
The same.
Time leaves its mark on everything it touches.
The patina layer will fall off due to impact, revealing a fresh metal surface, and then combine with the surrounding materials to produce new copper oxide and copper sulfide, thus forming a layer separated from the previous rust.
Before her.
It turned out that someone had been here before and tried to kill the strange mother plant in front of them!
Chu Yan stopped.
Miss Chi looked at her in surprise and doubt.
But Chu Yan calmly took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat.
Chu Yan: "Oh, send a message."
Miss Chi: “…”
The system was also a little surprised: [Wow, host, you actually... 】
Chu Yan:
【It is better to be prepared. 】
【Let’s go and get to work. 】
Miss Chi stood beside her, pursing her lips: "Daolian is right here, let's not talk too loudly, so as not to disturb her rest. This has been the rule for thousands of years -"
next moment.
A loud noise that almost collapsed the water dungeon suddenly sounded in my ears, like thunder!
Chu Yan drew his sword with his backhand, and without any hesitation, the sword light suddenly surged and slashed into the pool of black water!
The fishy-smelling lake water splashed everywhere, and Miss Chi screamed and dodged backwards.
Under the lake, a huge shadow rolled, and then a monster covered with sticky scales struggled out of the lake. It looked like a deformed body made up of various biological organs. The moment it appeared, the system felt its stomach churning!
The scales only covered half of its "face", which was covered with densely packed compound eyes and tiny mouthparts. However, its fins alone were not enough to deliver food to its mouthparts, so a dozen pairs of articulated limbs grew next to the calcareous exoskeleton of its neck, making it look like a giant deep-sea louse. These articulated limbs, like maxillofacial legs, protected the abnormally ugly pink mucous membrane and its high bulging abdomen. Through the translucent peritoneum, you can see the eggs wriggling inside, which are wrapped seeds of Tao. And when this strange maxillofacial leg is stimulated, it opens in order -
Among the rotten flesh and bones.
The limbs bloom like lotus petals.
Chu Yan's expression was stern, his inner breath poured out like a rainbow, and he almost stood in the air due to the vibration of his true energy.
The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword decisively slashed towards the hideous and terrifying evil spirit in front of him!
The strange creature rolled over in response.
It cannot practice martial arts, and has survived for thousands of years by bewitching people. But it is tenacious, and many martial arts golden pills throughout history have been helpless against it and unable to kill it.
The person standing in front of it at this time was Chu Yan.
Six Dusts, Taixuan Sutra, and Flint Bead Seal.
Chu Yan lowered his eyes.
She is here because of chance and luck.
Now, it was no longer her who drew the sword.
But it is destiny.
The sword energy was rampant and for the first time, it tore through the black mist surrounding it and headed straight for Dao Lian’s heart!
The strange mother plant screamed hoarsely, appearing to be in great pain.
Chu Yan silently recited the method of exorcising spirits.
In an instant, the memories of the strange mother plant burst into her!
The truth she was looking for was here. Why did the strange creature come? Why did the cracked and dry land in the ancient pre-Qin period suddenly appear the second sun?
In the memory of the mother plant.
Chu Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
The scene before her made her expression change slightly.
