The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 201 The key was found

The compass is one of the most important things for a warlock.People in later generations always misunderstand the compass, thinking that the compass is just a tool used by Feng Shui masters to survey the public. In fact, this complex compass integrates the stars in the sky and the five elements on the ground, and can be used in almost any magic.

In the strange sect, the compass is often the secret of the master's sect passed from father to son, master to apprentice, and also represents the inheritance of the sect.

Yun Ruochen also took over the compass from his master in the previous life, but in the current time and space, he can only rebuild the inheritance by himself.This compass is the crystallization of her training for several years. It is full of countless mana that she has carefully poured into it. It has been stored for a long time in her hot spring spiritual point in another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, and it has just been activated.

Didn't expect to be able to use it so soon...

Without Yun Ruochen's explanation, Nie Shen and Ye Shenyan separated from her and guarded a radius of three feet to the left and right to protect her.Yun Ruochen sat down cross-legged, reciting the formula silently, and made various complicated handprints with his hands.

A drop of sweat slowly trickled down from her forehead, but she had no time to wipe it off.Nie Shen didn't feel much of it yet, but Ye Shenyan, who also practiced spells, could already feel the energy emanating from her body, spreading around like a spider web.

There was no wind tonight, but at this time the water surface of the pond gradually became rippled, and the ripples overlapped one after another, kneading the moonlight into a pool of broken gold.

"call……"

Let out a long breath, tick tock, that drop of crystal sweat finally slid down her cheek and dripped on the compass.

"it is as expected."

Yun Ruochen stopped, slowly stood up with the compass in his hand, and stared straight at the water surface.

"what happened?"

Ye Shenyan couldn't help asking.

Yun Ruochen raised his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, and said flatly, "I was negligent."

Her mother, Liang Lianqing, is indeed a genius in magic.She didn't use a magic weapon, but directly used mountains, rocks, water and trees to set up an invisible magic circle, which required extremely precise calculations and powerful spiritual power to do so.

The only function of this magic circle is that the spells of other warlocks are ineffective within the entire circle with the center of the pond as the core, and will be directly absorbed by this magic circle and become invisible.

That is to say, as long as this formation is not broken through, any spellcasting by warlocks will be ineffective for this area—this area is equivalent to being "invisible".

No wonder she used to cast spells in the mansion many times before, but she didn't feel any reaction.It was fine before she regained her strength, but now that she has surpassed the previous life's cultivation level, it is too unreasonable to still have this kind of result.

It turned out that she was "shielded" by her mother early!
It was the keyword "[-]th of every month" that reminded her.

Fifteen, also known as Wangri.This day is the day when the moon has the strongest power in the whole month, and it is also the day when the spiritual power in the water is the strongest.There is no need for the moon to appear in the sky. Throughout the day, the moon and the water influence each other invisibly, which is the best time to do the ritual by the water.

"Mother... I don't know how long it took to set up this formation..."

Such a complicated and troublesome invisible formation cannot be completed in one go.No wonder she has to stay alone in the water pavilion on the fifteenth day of every month.

It took so much effort, probably for a very important reason.Backwards from the current result, it seems to be preventing other skilled warlocks from discovering this key.

But why didn't she tell Nie Shen directly where the key was?I really can't figure it out, I gave him the box but didn't give him the key, yet I asked myself, the heir, to look for it... Isn't she afraid that she won't find it?
These questions may not be answered until the moment the box is opened?
"The key should be in the lake."

The compass in Yun Ruochen's hand disappeared again. She was loosening her hair and braiding it. Nie Shen sensed her thoughts and hurriedly said, "Ruochen, you want to go into the water by yourself?"

"Hmm. I'm sure that the key is in the water, but it can't be sensed by magic...you can only find it manually."

Really helpless, mother, you have left me with a lot of problems.

It was only later that Yun Ruochen discovered that in the face of real difficulties, this little difficulty is nothing at all!
"...I'll accompany you down."

Ye Shenyan sighed, Her Royal Highness Princess Qingzhi is absolutely unstoppable, so let's stay with her.

Needless to say, Nie Shen was going to go into the water.

All three of them have profound internal strength, and their external strength is not weak, and it is not hindered to see things in the dark when diving into the water.But the pond doesn't look that big, and even Nie Shen finds it difficult to find a key under the water!

They slipped into the water without a splash.Fortunately, it is summer and the water is not cold.I just have no clue where to look for it.
Yun Ruochen didn't stop, and swam directly towards the center of the pond.

Since the invisibility array set up by the mother uses the center of the pond as the core, the key should be nearby.

There are some ornamental fish in the pond, not many in number, but clumps of aquatic plants often entangle their hands and feet.

The three of them had already cut off their acquired breathing, relying entirely on their innate qi to circulate in their bodies, otherwise they would never be able to dive for more than a certain period of time.

Mother, your expectations of me are too high. Not only do you have to deduce the possible location of the key from limited clues, but you also have to have enough cultivation to find it...

Is this your test for me?
To get rid of the entanglement of a clump of long water plants, Yun Ruochen tried his best to circulate his true energy again, and he kicked towards the heart of the pool, but almost hit a big rock at the bottom of the water.

Fortunately, Nie Shen, who has the deepest inner strength and the clearest vision underwater, reacted very quickly, reached out and grabbed her by the corner of her clothes, and followed the trend of the water to embrace her in his arms to protect her.

In the dark bottom of the water, he hugged her tightly, being lifted up and down by the force of the water.

Yun Ruochen suddenly felt as if he had lost contact with the whole world, surrounded by a huge sense of emptiness, and only Nie Shen was the most real existence.

The world is long, people are like grass, and life is like floating weeds.All she can grasp is this moment of embracing...

Seeing that Yun Ruochen in his arms was in a daze, neither kicking nor paddling, Nie Shen thought she was really hurt.Being anxious and unable to ask questions, he could only grope everywhere, lest there was something wrong with her.

The pool water was cold, and the palm was warm, burning her skin inch by inch, igniting clusters of passion.

Seeing her move, Nie Shen became more and more anxious.Concentrating her true energy and looking down, she saw that Yun Ruochen had her eyes closed, and she couldn't help feeling a deep worry in her heart—could there be something wrong with the true energy in her body, and she passed out?

Without the circulation of true energy, I must go ashore as soon as possible... It's too late, I have to get her true energy first!

Ye Shenyan, who was inferior in cultivation to Nie Shen and Yun Ruochen, came not far behind them at this time, but suddenly couldn't believe his eyes.

What did he see?
Why……

Why is Master Bai Ye, he... he is kissing Ruochen?

Even Yun Ruochen was stunned and opened his eyes suddenly.

He kissed her?

Sensing Yun Ruochen's gaze, Nie Shen was finally relieved, she still had sanity.So, should we go ashore first?

He gestured to go ashore, and Yun Ruochen froze for a moment before realizing that he was just helping her.

I really can't laugh or cry, well, I don't have any thoughts left in my heart now.Do business!

Before Ye Shenyan recovered from the shock, he saw Yun Ruochen swimming forward again.He hurriedly suppressed countless strange thoughts in his mind, and followed closely.

"It's okay! My mother still saved me a way out."

After swimming for about a quarter of an hour, near the center of the pool, Yun Ruochen first discovered a square object with layers of aquatic plants wrapped around it.

This is obviously not a natural product of the bottom.Sure enough, after tearing apart the water plants, what appeared in front of the eyes of the three was a stone box with four sides and a square, about an arm's length in length, width and height.

Yun Ruochen can also get this thing up by himself, but with Nie Shen and Ye Shenyan around, she doesn't need to work hard.

It took a lot of time, and after a lot of tossing, the three finally transported the stone box ashore.

Even Yun Ruochen, who had advanced cultivation, was exhausted enough.

But looking at the stone box lying quietly by the pool and constantly dripping water, she felt very, very satisfied in her heart, extremely satisfied.The problem that has troubled her for many years may be answered tonight!
While thinking about how to open the stone box, Yun Ruochen untied and wrung out his hair, suddenly met Ye Shenyan's hesitant eyes, and followed his gaze to see Nie Shen on the other side.

The scene at the bottom of the water was immediately replayed in her mind, and her moist lips instantly became dry and hot.

"Uh...uh, Nie Shen, thank you for giving me the energy."

She didn't dare to look Ye Shenyan in the eyes, and said something to Nie Shen in a low voice.These words are not so much thanking Nie Shen, but rather... explaining to Ye Shenyan.

Sure enough, Ye Shenyan's face immediately relaxed, revealing an expression of "So that's it".Yun Ruochen was conflicted in his heart, what was he doing?

It's because she "betrayed" Shen Yan emotionally, and felt guilty, and she didn't want Shen Yan to know the real entanglement between herself and Nie Shen.

In the beginning, Ye Shenyan was chosen to be the son-in-law, obviously it was just "no choice among choices".

But some things will gradually get out of control when they get started. This is the case with Nie Shen, and with Shen Yan...

She is very clear that she loves Nie Shen deeply, but also, she doesn't want to hurt Shen Yan.

Emotional things...

It is really more difficult to solve than looking for the "treasure" left by the mother!
Regardless, let's focus on the big things in front of us first!

Under the cover of night, the three of them returned to the Chonghua Palace with the heavy stone box. Ji Jianing waited too long and fell asleep lying on the table.

"Jia Ning don't sleep, change the princess' clothes first."

Ye Shenyan woke Ji Jianing up, he was most worried about Yun Ruochen's health.What keys and boxes, these are all secondary!

When Yun Ruochen came back after changing his clothes, he saw the two of them staring at the stone box on the ground in a daze, as if they didn't know where to start.It seems that the shape of the box is correct, but there is no buckle or lock!

Yun Ruochen said with a helpless smile, this is a small spell cast by her mother, and the secret door should be inside.

She pressed the stone box with her hands, and her true energy flowed along the gap. After a while, everyone heard the sound of "da".

The hidden button was broken away by true energy, and the key hidden in several layers of oiled paper bags finally showed up!
