Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1884: Lost Valley

Spiritual consciousness is the second pair of eyes of a cultivator, which is even more useful than eyes, and can see farther, more clearly, and more broadly.

But in this ice palace, spiritual consciousness is greatly restricted. Whether it is the falling frost and snow or the solidified ice, they can block the transmission of spiritual consciousness.

So if you want to find something buried under three feet of ice and frost, you can only rely on guesswork and luck.

Liu Qinghuan has always had good luck: before entering the door, he saw a dark shadow behind the hall through the ice.

After roughly estimating the location and breaking through the thick ice, a dilapidated little door appeared.

"This door actually has protection!"

Liu Qinghuan stretched out his hand to pull the door, but his fingertips were blocked half an inch away from the door.

"Let me do it!" Huang Long said, raising his hand, a long sword flew out from his sleeve, and he began to chop the door with all his might.

"Daoyou Taiwei, have you discovered it?"

"what?"

"There are protective arrays everywhere in this ice palace. Even if they are broken, they will recover quickly. This shows that they are connected to each other, and the deeper core of the array is still intact!"

Huang Long looked at Liu Qinghuan: "Where do you think the heart of the formation is?"

Liu Qinghuan asked, "What do you want to say, fellow Taoist?"

Huang Long looked thoughtful: "Didn't they say that the body of the Cambrian Black Turtle has not been found? And the safest place in the entire Ice Palace is the defense core of the formation.

Therefore, as long as we find the center of the formation, we should be able to find the Cambrian Black Turtle!"

Liu Qinghuan glanced at him and said, "It's not that easy to find the core of the formation. I have little knowledge of formations, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

Huang Long smiled and said, "I am similar to you, but I have a spirit pet that is quite talented in guiding people."

As he spoke, he called out softly, and a little man poked his head out from under his clothes.

I saw that it was less than three inches tall, with a few leaves on its head, dressed in emerald green clothes, and even its little face was bright green.

"Tread?"

Huang Long nodded and said, "This is my pet Mi Gu, a mutant tree spirit. With its guidance, I was able to find the underground palace."

Liu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows. The Mi Gu Tree was recorded in "Records of Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas". According to legend, it could guide the way and prevent one from getting lost.

"So, it can find the core of the formation?"

"You can try it!" Huang Long said.

Liu Qinghuan was a little surprised. In fact, he and Master Huanglong were not very close.

Back then, due to a great catastrophe in heaven and earth, there was an overlapping space between the Wangchuan Ghost Cave and the Tianzhu Realm, and the two sides had some interactions as a result.

Later, I met him on some occasions, but we basically didn't have any conversation.

Now, the other party wanted to travel with him and even directly confessed his spiritual pet's talent, which showed that he had a certain degree of trust in him.

Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way. I just wonder how we should proceed from now on?"

Huang Long held the Mi Gu in his palm. The little guy shook his body and looked around. The leaves above his head lit up one by one, and a green light flew out.

Liu Qinghuan turned around and looked at the door behind him. He had just come from there not long ago.

"Go through the glacier? I'm afraid that's not possible!"

Seeing Huang Long's hesitation, he sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you should go over and take a look. It just so happens that it will take some time to break open the door of this side hall... If you think it's okay to leave after taking a look, I can also risk my life to accompany you for once."

Huang Long glanced at the protective light curtain on the door, retracted his spirit sword and said, "Then I'll go quickly and come back soon!"

With that, he disappeared in a flash.

Liu Qinghuan leisurely found a place to meditate, ready to wait for the other party to come back and continue to score.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Huang Long returned with Mi Gu Yan. "I was almost sucked into the river. Luckily I didn't dare to get too close..."

Liu Qinghuan said: "Let's not talk about where the waterfall leads to, just the suction force alone is enough to tear us into pieces."

Huang Long said with lingering fear: "We can't go that way! Mi Gu, find another way..."

He looked at the door of the side hall, took out his sword and chopped it down without saying a word!

After some time, the formation's light curtain finally exploded with a "bang", revealing the shabby wooden door behind it.

After opening the door, the space inside was not big, with tall shelves on all four walls. It looked like a storage room.

Huang Long's eyes lit up, but he did not rush in immediately. Instead, he looked at Liu Qinghuan.

"Fellow Daoist Taiwei, how about we split the things we find on the road? Of course, whoever finds it alone will own it."

It is better to agree on it in advance than to have a dispute later over uneven distribution of the spoils.

Although, even if something is agreed upon, it can change at any time.

"Okay." Liu Qinghuan nodded and looked inside the house: "But this hall has also been searched, I'm afraid there's nothing left."

Huang Long, however, was hoping for a lucky break and searched carefully around the shelf.

Liu Qinghuan also walked in. There was a bowl embedded in the thick frost. There should have been something in the bowl, but now it was empty.

He tried it and found that the bowl was completely solidified with the stand.

Looking around, most of the shelves were empty.

The flames flickered, and Liu Qinghuan turned his head to look, only to see a ball of fire in Huang Long's palm, melting the ice, revealing a jade box the size of a palm.

The whole box is emerald green, with mountains, rivers and plants inlaid with gold and silver threads. There are several sealing talismans on the lid, which is intact.

"I said there must be some fish that slipped through the net, hahaha!"

He reached out to take it, but heard a low shout behind him.

"do not move!"

Huang Long froze, and Liu Qinghuan had already walked to his side with a very serious expression.

"Don't you find it strange that everything else was taken away, and only this jade box was left?"

"What..." Huang Long's expression changed slightly, the light in his eyes flickered rapidly, and he retracted his hand abruptly: "The box has been cursed!"

"Yes, you can't touch it with your hands. You have to remove the curse first." Liu Qinghuan said, "But the box is still here, which means the curse on it must be very difficult to remove."

Huang Long was unwilling to give up, so he pinched his fingers and carefully attacked: "Let me try."

As the spell was cast, a black light immediately appeared above the jade box and shot out like an arrow!

Huang Long quickly dodged to the side, and the black light hit the shelf behind him with a "snap" sound.

The ice covering the shelf cracked as if it had been whipped by a fire whip, leaving burn marks.

"Huh!" Huang Long became more interested and rolled up his sleeves to get started: "I don't believe it!"

Liu Qinghuan stepped into a corner, not intending to get involved, and simply took out his cushion to continue recovering his magic power.

The translucent lotus petals rose up, and no matter how loud the noise was over there, it could not disturb him.

Two hours later.

Liu Qinghuan finished his training, but found that Huang Long was still struggling with the jade box, and there were whip marks all over his body.

He shook his head, brushed off the fragments of the spirit stone on his knees, and was about to stand up.

Liu Qinghuan's gaze focused on the gap under the opposite shelf.

He walked over, peeled away the ice, and took out a jade slip stuck in the crack.
