Chapter 773 Snake?
The merchant ship stayed in the small town for two days, then untied the chains, hoisted the sails, left the waters, and headed for the imperial city again...

Another two months passed like this, and we encountered five cities, big and small, along the way, and finally arrived at the imperial city of this great abyss!

The imperial city of the Great Abyss was built on the only island in the entire Shuize Kingdom. Here, we finally saw buildings with mud and brick walls. Gu Shiyi looked at the white walls and red tiles, the overlapping palaces and houses on the island and asked Feng Laoliu,

"Is this entire island occupied by the Dayuan royal family?"

Feng Laoliu waited until the merchant ship docked, then invited Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan to get off the ship and led them to the island. After floating on the water for so many days, even though Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan were standing on solid ground again, they couldn't help but feel that they were still floating on the boat. Feng Laoliu nodded and said,
"Indeed, this entire island belongs to the royal family. All the princes and nobles have built their residences on this island... On the highest mountain of this island is the palace where our Emperor Dayuan lives. And the lowest level is the official with the lowest rank..."

Feng Laoliu pointed to the row of houses closest to the shore, with white walls, black tiles and small courtyards...

The class divisions in the Great Abyss are clear. Only the royal family, their relatives and officials can live on this sole island. Even a royal merchant like Feng Laoliu from the Great Abyss can at most enter the island with a token. However, no matter how much money he earns, he is not qualified to own a single brick or tile on this island!

Feng Laoliu was not qualified to take them to see Emperor Dayuan directly, but he took the two of them up the stairs to the second floor, entered a mansion with a vermilion lacquered door inlaid with copper nails, entered the lobby, and met a young prince.

This prince was handsome, with an extraordinary temperament, and was courteous to others. He was very polite to Gu Shiyi and his wife, and even invited them to stay in his mansion. Gu Shiyi politely declined, as she felt that living in this mortal's residence would be too crowded and her words and actions would be too restrained.

The prince did not force him, but just told Feng Laoliu to treat him well. After leaving the palace, Gu Shiyi asked Feng Laoliu for a boat, claiming that he and his wife wanted to travel around the Great Abyss. Feng Laoliu did not stop him, but picked out a good boat and sold it to Gu Shiyi at half price. He then wanted to send his servants to serve him, but Gu Shiyi refused!
Early the next morning, when it was still dark, Master Gu and his wife boarded the two-deck boat. Without raising the sail or rowing, they left the dock as fast as an arrow and headed towards the wide water.

After they were far away from the crowd, the Jin Er couple and Wang Yue turned back into human form. The Jin Er couple had suffered at Wang Yue's hands before, so they had no good face towards her. However, Wang Yue was a person with a big heart, so she didn't care at all. She just followed behind Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan, blinking her little green eyes and learning to serve them.
"The deepest part of this abyss is 800 miles away from the imperial city. It is said that it is connected to the demon world..."

Pu Yanlan unfolded the map in her hand and pointed at it. Gu Shiyi came over to take a look.

"Let's go there and take a look..."

At this point he smiled and glanced at Pu Yanlan.

"Maybe we can go to the demon world to see your son and your future husband!"

Pu Yanlan rolled her eyes at her and didn't say anything. Instead, Jin Er, who had been silent, came over and said to Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan,
"My two masters, there is something strange under the water..."

Gu Shiyi said in surprise,
"Why, you have been silent since entering this abyss, why are you talking now, have you not found any treasure yet?"

Jin Er nodded and said,
"The water in this abyss is quite strange. The Yin energy under the water is abnormally thick. The Yin energy is too strong and the five elements are out of balance. As a result, no treasures can be produced!"

Eighty to ninety percent of the treasures in this world can be divided into the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, but they also contain the power of the five elements inside. If any one of them is missing, it is impossible for them to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and become rare treasures!
Pu Yanlan nodded when she heard this.

"You two have indeed figured out something. We also found that there is something strange about this abyss!"

Gu Shiyi also raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"No wonder there has been no movement since you arrived at the Great Abyss!"

Liu Xiaocui continued,

"It's not that there are no treasures, but the treasures produced in the extremely yin land are not something that my husband and I can obtain!"

Even though the couple said they were exotic beasts looking for treasure, they were still beasts of the five elements. Naturally, they were afraid of places with extreme yin and yang!

They were not in a hurry. The boat slowly drifted on the water for ten days, and finally arrived at the deepest area of ​​the Great Abyss. The people of the Great Abyss called this place the Abyss Eye. It was unfathomable. At the end of every month, black gas would emerge from the Abyss Eye. The immortal masters had also come here to explore.

"This black energy is extremely evil and demonic. Not to mention ordinary people, even we must stay away from it!"

With the Immortal Master's words, the common people would naturally not come here easily. At this time, Gu Shiyi's boat arrived here. There was no boat on the endless water surface, only endless dark green duckweed, which covered the water surface. Gu Shiyi stood on the deck, looked at the water surface, raised his hand into a claw, and gently grabbed it in the air.
"Splash..." The duckweed on the water was immediately pulled out in a large piece, revealing the water surface below. Everyone looked down intently and saw that the water here was also green and dark, but strangely with a little red. The color was really indescribably strange.

"Yan'er, shall we go down and take a look?"

The color of the water was strange, and Gu Shiyi looked very excited.

She came here to explore, and if there was nothing strange, she would be disappointed!

Pu Yanlan frowned.

"Let me ask Tong Ling to go down and check it out first!"

After that, he called Tong Ling out. Tong Ling followed his command and went into the water. Not long after, she came back.
"Master, there are indeed many architectural ruins below... But I only went down a hundred feet before I was blocked back by an invisible force..."

Gu Shiyi was overjoyed after hearing this.

"So there really are relics of our ancestors. Let me go down and take a look!"

At that moment, he didn't care whether Pu Yanlan agreed or not, and immediately flashed into the water...

Pu Yanlan sighed helplessly when she saw this, but she heard Wangyue beside her also say,

"I'll go down and take a look too!"

He also plunged into the water. As soon as he entered the water, he transformed into his original form and dived down with Gu Shiyi.

Gu Shiyi turned around and saw Wangyue coming too. He smiled, turned around, swam onto Wangyue's back, and lay on top of him.
"go!"

Wangyue let out a low moan, and lay upside down. Her four extremely strong legs paddled rhythmically, and with a slight kick of her hind legs, her huge body dived more than ten feet. The water here was heavy with yin energy, and Gu Shiyi had a pure yang body, so he did not feel uncomfortable. Wangyue was also a natural aquatic creature, and although she felt the water here was indeed a little colder than that in the river, she did not find it unbearable. She paddled and dived nearly ten feet in one breath. Gu Shiyi lay on her back and looked around. Sure enough, he saw that the abyss was not straight up and down, but after ten feet underwater, it went up step by step like a terraced field into the dark depths. There was a step almost every ten feet or so, and above these steps, on an area of ​​about two or three acres, there were many architectural ruins scattered around.

"Wangyue, let's go over there and take a look..."

Wangyue went over as he was told. When he got closer, Gu Shiyi kicked his feet and bounced out, landing in front of a dilapidated wall. The half wall in the water was made of blue bricks, and there were many rectangular stones scattered around, all covered with dark green algae. The same was true for the other half of the wall. Gu Shiyi had sharp eyes and saw a small piece of wall of a different color faintly emerging from the floating algae. He immediately took out his strange sword,

"Whoosh..."

The sword flashed and scraped away the algae on top. Immediately, countless debris muddied the nearby waters. Gu Shiyi swept away the muddy water with his palm. After the clear water swept past, the murals on the wall were exposed.
"what……"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and saw that there was only a half-cut mural on the wall. It was a tall human figure with only the lower half of the body left, naked thick thighs, drooping arms, two snakes with tongues sticking out coiled on the wrists, and two more coiled on the ankles. The four snakes all had their mouths wide open, revealing four sharp fangs, and blood-red forked tongues stretched out for two feet. The eyes of these snakes were all left white, but the ferocious faces were portrayed in every way...

There was another little man painted in the corner. This little man was being held by an adult. One hand was raised high, and the other hand was holding a snake. There was also a snake head sticking out of his belly button. Gu Shiyi thought to himself,

“Is this a portrait or a picture imagined by ancient people?”

How can snakes grow out of people’s belly buttons?
Isn't this what our ancient ancestors looked like?
How to wear clothes then?
Oh, yes, the big and small characters in this painting are not wearing clothes. Do they really not wear clothes?

After Gu Shiyi finished reading the murals, he lay on Wangyue's back and continued to look around. The water in the abyss was already dark, and it was pitch dark after only thirty feet. Gu Shiyi and Wangyue were naturally not afraid, but they saw that the deeper they went, the more underwater buildings there were. There was also an especially tall building standing on a dilapidated ruin. Gu Shiyi dived closer and saw that it was a temple-like building. The top was gone. In the spacious temple, the statues of gods were tilted all over the place, and there was only a complete statue in the middle.
"Snake again?"

It's really late today. Sorry! Sorry!
