Chapter 8 The Second "Guixu"



At the fork in the road, turn left.

At the crossroads, turn left.

When you reach a dead end, turn around and go left.

Luo Yan finally couldn't help but ask:

"Since just now, we seem to have been moving to the left?"

"You don't like going left?" Shi Liuli glanced at him, "Then let's go right next."

"No." Luo Yan didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at the moment, "Are we just going to wander around like this? Where's the good luck we promised you?"

"How dare you question my luck, senior sister?" Shi Liuli put her hands on her hips.

"I dare not." Luo Yan's expression immediately changed, revealing a flattering smile, "But... Senior Sister, can you tell me how your good luck works? Well, I'm not doubting you, Senior Sister, I just want to broaden my horizons and gain some experience."

"This is complicated to explain." Shi Liuli said seriously, "So-called good luck is the ability to make your wishes come true."

"As long as I concentrate on finding the Chaoyuan meridian as soon as possible, then even if I just keep going left, I will be able to reach my destination smoothly in the end. Do you understand?"

Luo Yan was a little confused. Your metaphysics is too unreasonable! If you always turn left at the intersection, you can actually reach the end?

Wait, if there is no circular route in the maze, wouldn't it be the same as traversing the maze if I always go left? That seems to be fine...

The two walked for several more hours, and they had no idea how far they had gone into the seabed, but the surrounding area was still the same dark rock wall.

Shi Liuli suddenly stopped and said:

"Rest first and eat something."

Seeing her taking out the cauldron in a bored manner, Luo Yan began to mutter in his heart and asked Kunlun Mirror:

"A Jing, are we on the right path now?"

"I don't know." Kunlun Mirror replied.

"How come you don't even know this, you broken mirror? Then why can your fragments know this?"

"How would I know this?" Kunlun Mirror replied speechlessly, "It has been down here for hundreds of thousands of years, so of course it has scanned every inch of the cave. I am a newcomer like you, so how could I know this? I can only use magic to interfere with its magic."

"Then tell me, does Miss Shi really have such good luck that she can lead me out of this maze and find the fragments of your body and Chaoyuan Qi meridians?" Luo Yan continued to ask doubtfully.

"If you ask me, I think it's ridiculous." Kunlun Jing said honestly, "Where does good luck come from in this world? It's impossible for heaven to favor someone alone."

"If that's the case, how do we explain the Three Islands Treasure Ship last time and the Five Qis Chao Yuan Cave this time?" Luo Yan was still very suspicious. "She said she wanted to speed up the marrow cleansing, but ended up finding the body-building secret technique; she said she wanted to skip the marrow cleansing, but ended up encountering the Wuzhu Fish again."

"Think about it, if I can skip the marrow cleansing just by going to the toilet, then what's the point of me going to the Shushan Locking Demon Tower to participate in the trial and taking risks to find a blood pool to cleanse my marrow?" The more he spoke, the more indignant he became. "Senior Sister An even broke her natal sword!"

"Calm down and don't show your ugliness." Kunlun Jing said quickly, "A person's luck cannot remain unchanged forever. Just because it worked the last two times doesn't mean it will work this time."

"I'm not jealous of her..." Luo Yan was about to continue to defend himself when he saw Shi Liuli lift the lid of the cauldron. The aroma of the broth wafted out from the space formed by the water-sealing seal. He swallowed his saliva and said, "I'd better drink the broth first to save face for my senior sister."

Inside the small and dark cave, two people gathered around a cauldron, drinking the soup one spoonful at a time, and felt their whole bodies warmed up.

Shi Liuli put away the tripod and said with a sigh:

"It's really boring to just keep walking like this. Can't we encounter something strange and unique?"

"Senior Sister, isn't it good to be safe and sound?" Luo Yan asked in confusion.

"What's the point of having a smooth journey?" Shi Liuli said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't we suddenly encounter danger first, and then we support each other and finally overcome the difficulties and obstacles and reach the location of Chaoyuan Qi Channel? Isn't this design more interesting?"

"What kind of old-fashioned novel cliché is that..." Luo Yan just complained, and then he heard Kunlun Jing suddenly shouted:

"Be careful! It realizes it can't beat me, so it's going to fight to the death!"

As soon as the words fell, the rocks beneath their feet began to shake violently. Luo Yan only had time to hug Shi Liuli's waist before everything around him suddenly fell down.

At the top of a huge natural cave somewhere, there was a sudden large-scale collapse and subsidence, and countless pieces of rubble burst out.

Two figures emerged from the smoke and dust, flashing sword lights in the air, and quickly circled and landed on the ground - it was Luo Yan who was holding Shi Liuli.

Just now, at the moment of falling downwards due to the cracking of the ground, Luo Yan had already seen the surrounding situation clearly.

The violent earthquake destroyed not only the cave they were in, but also the entire space around them.

If you stop suddenly in the air, you may be hit directly by a large amount of rubble falling rapidly from above.

Therefore, Luo Yan calmly held Shi Liuli and fell down with countless falling rocks, while constantly using Taohua Sword to chop away stones that might be close to him.

Faced with this sudden situation, Miss Shi once again exposed her immature side. She just hugged Luo Yan's arm tightly, closed her eyes tightly, and didn't dare to see what was happening around her.

It was not until the two of them fell into a huge cave that Luo Yan flew into the air with his sword and quickly moved sideways, taking Shi Liuli out of the range of the collapse.

The place where they were originally located was covered by a large amount of rocks and dust, and there was even a hill of rubble built under the cave. If they had moved sideways a little slower, they would have been buried alive by the rubble, or they would have exposed Qiu Changtian's thunder magic in order to protect themselves. In short, it would not be a good result.

"You can open your eyes now, Senior Sister." Luo Yan said, "We have landed."

Hearing the sporadic sounds of gravel falling to the ground around him, Shi Liuli shuddered suddenly and shook his head vigorously in fear.

"Open your eyes!" Luo Yan deliberately shouted at her.

"Why are you so fierce!" Shi Liuli fell into the trap and immediately opened his eyes and retorted to him.

"If you hadn't said something like 'sudden danger', would we have encountered such a thing?" Luo Yan said helplessly, holding his forehead with his hand, "If the exit was blocked by the collapse, we would be trapped to death in this deep sea!"

This is of course a lie, because the Kunlun Mirror can teleport regardless of space - provided there is no interference from the main body fragments.

As long as the main body fragments can be found, you can teleport away from here anytime and anywhere.

Shi Liuli didn't know this, and thought that it was because of her casual words that the landslide in the underwater cave occurred, and she immediately said with tears in her eyes:

“I didn’t know it was so effective!”

"How is your own luck? Don't you know it yourself?" Luo Yan sighed and said, "Well, since your previous prediction came true, then the next one, 'Finally found the Chaoyuan Qi Meridian', must also come true for me!"

"It must work, it must work." Shi Liuli closed his eyes again, put his hands together in front of his chest, and shook them vigorously, as if he was a mountain Taoist priest summoning a god to descend upon him.

Luo Yan no longer paid attention to her, but looked around carefully, and found that this cave was much larger than the previous caves, almost as large as a modern football field.

Unlike other caves, this cave is not completely dark, but is dotted with coral trees. Its rugged surface like deer antlers has light spots like star sand, which reminds Luo Yan of the suspended Guixu deep in the ravine in the secret realm of the Sanyu Treasure Ship.

These glowing coral trees also grew around the palace, making the entire palace look like a fairyland in the dragon palace.

Luo Yan's sight followed the faint light from the coral trees to the end of the cave, and he saw an equally magnificent palace about a mile ahead, surrounded by a large number of glowing coral jungles.

It is just like the Guixu Palace of the past.
