The moment she awoke, the golden-red flames around her gradually faded, and the Weak Water Harp automatically returned to her sea of consciousness.
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly; she should be at the bottom of the Red Lotus Fire Pool at this moment.
From the moment she saw the red lotus, she had a guess in her heart that what nurtured the red lotus was not magma, but the red lotus karmic fire, a sacred Buddhist object that burned away all evil.
That's why she jumped down. Plus, what was inside that stone door didn't intend for her to die there. Luckily, she won her gamble.
But why did that thing lead her here and give her such a great opportunity?
The Red Lotus Karmic Fire can burn away all evil, and especially in its birthplace, it can reshape the body, enabling one to achieve a sacred cultivation body.
Lu Fuyue's eyes flickered slightly as she tentatively circulated her cultivation technique. Sure enough, her previously somewhat blocked meridians had all been cleared.
Moreover, even when she wasn't using her cultivation technique, some spiritual energy would still occasionally seep into her body.
She was originally a water spirit, and now she has the opportunity to reshape her physique.
Judging from her condition just now, she should now have the Water Spirit Saint Body, the most desired physique among all water spirit roots in the cultivation world, because the cultivation speed of the Water Spirit Saint Body is four to five times faster than that of ordinary top-grade water spirit roots.
With the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, Lu Fuyue felt as if she were soaking in a hot spring in this Crimson Lotus Fire Pool, without any burning sensation.
Lu Fuyue quickly swam up and left the Red Lotus Fire Pool.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she emerged from the fire pool, she saw that the red lotus from before had returned.
Lu Fuyue was slightly taken aback. Suddenly, the red lotus turned into a golden-red light and entered the red lotus on her forehead, where it coexisted with the red lotus karmic fire.
Lu Fuyue subconsciously touched her forehead, and felt nothing except a slight burning sensation.
Could it be the half-life of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire?
Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on these things, we should be thinking about how to get out of here.
The Cangnan Secret Realm will be open for one month. If she does not leave within the specified time, she will have to wait another fifty years.
But she still needs to kill Mo Qianci and find the next string, so she simply cannot stay here for fifty years.
It seems we need to get out of here as soon as possible.
***
Lu Fuyue quickly reached the shore.
She glanced around and found that besides the Red Lotus Pond, there was only that stone gate. If she wanted to leave, she could only find an exit by entering the stone gate.
As Lu Fuyue walked towards the stone door, for some reason, she felt colder and colder the closer she got to it.
It wasn't until she stood before the stone gate that she realized she was completely exhausted and unable to walk any further.
Suddenly, when she looked up and saw the dense, mysterious runes on the stone door, her expression changed drastically.
Why are the runes on this so similar to the aura of the demonic cultivation technique in her sea of consciousness?
Could this place have been the dwelling place of demons in the past?
Lu Fuyue instinctively took a few steps back, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes.
However, what she didn't notice was that the eyes of the strangely shaped, enormous stone beasts on both sides of the stone gate seemed to have turned and emitted a ghostly green light, which was terrifying and eerie.
Just as Lu Fuyue was hesitating whether to go in, a gust of black wind blew in, and with a creak, the stone door suddenly opened by itself.
Thick dust suddenly flew everywhere, and Lu Fuyue was choked by the dust a few times. She subconsciously closed her eyes and covered her mouth and nose to prevent the dust from getting in.
But just as she opened her eyes, a thick snake tail suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Lu Fuyue immediately tried to resist, but the snake tail reacted too quickly. It wrapped around her waist and carried her to an unfamiliar place. Then, with a forceful jerk, it threw Lu Fuyue to the ground and the snake tail quickly disappeared.
A moment later, Lu Fuyue slowly got up, supporting herself with her hands on the ground. She looked around, but unfortunately, it was so dark that she couldn't see anything.
What exactly does that thing want to do?
Lu Fuyue's doubts deepened.
Fortunately, that feeling of helplessness has disappeared.
Suddenly, countless torches lit up one after another, and the place became clearly visible to Lu Fuyue.
A stone sculpture of a woman stands directly in front of Lu Fuyue. The woman in the sculpture holds a long sword and looks up at the void, as if she could cleave the sky with a single sword and reverse yin and yang.
The woman sculpted in the stone was extremely beautiful, but what shocked Lu Fuyue was not her appearance, but her eyes, which were extremely similar to those of the woman in green in the illusion just now, indifferent and ruthless.
It seems that the thing is related to the woman in green who was sacrificed to the heavens in the illusion, but why did it choose her to come to this place?
Lu Fuyue couldn't figure this out no matter how hard she tried, when suddenly her gaze was drawn to the murals on the wall.
She instinctively walked into the mural area. This place was clearly the main hall of a palace, and the walls around the palace were covered with murals.
The inscription still depicts the moments between the woman in green and the man in white: their meeting, their love, their separation by death, and finally, on their wedding day, the woman suddenly kills the man.
The mural ends abruptly here, without revealing the whereabouts of the woman in blue.
Just as Lu Fuyue was about to leave to find another exit, the mural suddenly emitted a beam of blue light that sucked her in. At the same time, the mural on the wall began to move, as if it were adding an ending to the story.
From the depths of the abyss, the pair of blood-red eyes snapped open again, a tremor in their voice, "...This is...her aura?"
A moment later, Lu Fuyue was taken by the blue light into a void space.
Not far away, a woman in a blue dress with an indistinct face was playing the zither. The music was extremely beautiful, especially the indifference in the sound, which was like celestial music from the heavens.
"I didn't expect that the person who came this time would be a music teacher. Little girl, do you know how to play the zither?"
A clear, cool voice, like a mountain spring, echoed in the empty void.
Lu Fuyue's heart tightened. Even though she hadn't gotten very close to the suddenly appearing woman in green, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead under the woman's powerful aura, and her breathing became even more difficult.
With difficulty, she respectfully bowed to the woman in blue, saying, "Please forgive me, senior. I did not mean to disturb you."
"I only have a slight understanding of the art of playing the zither."
"Oh, then why don't you tell me your understanding of the Way of the Qin?"
Lu Fuyue hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "I believe that the zither is for oneself, and the sound is for the heart. To play the zither and produce sound is to express one's desires and thoughts through the sound."
Upon hearing this, the woman in green first shook her head, then sighed, "What you said is right, but it's not quite right either."
"If one day you can connect with the sound of the Weak Water Zither in your hand, perhaps then you will gain something from the Way of the Zither."
