Chapter 563: Gaze into the Abyss



Zhao Rong was very upset at this time.

But soon, he chewed over Gui's tone and realized that it was not sarcasm or a joke.

"What do you mean?"

Gui said directly: "This matter is very wrong. The magical effect of the Pure White Cold Palace's medicine should only heal the injuries of the dying person and restore the physical state to normal. The emphasis is on the word 'normal'."

Zhao Rong seemed to be thinking about something.

It said seriously: "So, it can only restore your body to its original state, but it cannot make the user handsome."

"Besides, although people's appearances can be divided into beautiful and ugly, these are just people's subjective feelings. In objective reality, there is no such thing as beauty or ugliness. To the Heavenly Dao, everything is the same. You were reshaped by the effects of the Pure White Cold Palace's medicine and the aura of the palace. There is no one to guide you. How could you be reshaped to be handsome? Even if your appearance was reshaped randomly, it is most likely that you would be ugly and crooked."

Zhao Rong expressed a different opinion and said seriously: "What if Tiandao thinks I should be this handsome?"

Return: “…”

It choked for a while, then said calmly: "Can you please stop interrupting me? I'm analyzing the anomaly for you. Be careful of being plotted against."

Zhao Rong nodded, "Okay, go on."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the Sin Abyss next to him, and walked towards the edge of the cliff.

Gui thought for a while and asked him, "As far as you can remember, when you were reshaped by the Pure White Palace in the dragon coffin in the main hall just now, did you have any special feelings when you first woke up, or did you feel anything strange?"

Zhao Rong walked to the edge of the cliff and then took a step back because the wind was too strong below, creating a cyclone. If he got too close, he would easily lose his balance and be swept under.

He squatted down, looked down at the dark scene below, and thought about it.

"Special feeling... Does Luo Xiu count as being a little heavy?"

He returned to his straight face, "Not really."

Zhao Rong narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something, "Although she looks thin, she is actually... plump. Pressing on me... does this count..."

Gui interrupted angrily: "What the hell! I don't care what it feels like, just be serious."

Zhao Rong nodded vigorously, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head seriously: "I don't feel too many abnormalities in my body. The only thing that I can feel is different from before should be... ahem... it should be the damn dragon, it seems that it is not dead yet."

He is really serious.

"???"

Guizhen doesn’t want to understand immediately.

It wanted to curse, but it also knew that what Zhao Rong said was true. The Pure White Cold Palace and the spiritual energy body shaping seemed to have not only reshaped and restored his body, but also seemed to have restored a certain magic dragon, and its body shape was frozen.

Because this was the original state of the dragon before he was on the verge of death.

But Zhao Rong had nothing to be embarrassed about. His relationship with the sword spirit... well, they were almost inseparable. He should have seen it a long time ago... wait, this seemed to be referring to him. As for the truth, Zhao Rong had never seen its true appearance.

From this point of view, he seems to be at a disadvantage.

The sword spirit suddenly asked: "Did you notice anything unusual about Luo Xiu?"

Zhao Rong shook his head. "She was... taking a break to catch her breath, and then she pretended to be asleep. I didn't notice anything abnormal about her. Wait, are you saying... maybe she was the one who led the reshaping of my body?"

Gui thought about it and said uncertainly, "It shouldn't be. She just provided the Pure White Palace. She did have the motive of wanting you to be more handsome, but Luo Xiu probably doesn't have the ability to lead the reshaping of the body."

Zhao Rong thought about it, his eyes fixed: "Could it be... that I am so handsome, but my appearance has covered it up, or is it due to factors of the acquired environment?"

There was silence between the two of them for a while.

Gui shook his head, "Obviously, not."

Zhao Rong: “…”

"Could it be... that I have the blood of the ancient people in my body? Was it activated this time?"

"Obviously, no. The Li people are tall and handsome, and you can tell that."

Zhao Rong: “…”

He was speechless and waved his hand, "Never mind, if there really is a mastermind behind this, I have to thank them for making me handsome."

Zhao Rong felt that the sword spirit was a little too suspicious.

He changed the subject immediately, "Hey, Gui."

"What do you want to call me for?"

Zhao Rong pointed to the dark abyss below and said, "I saw it."

"What did you see? Can you see it in such a dark place?"

"No, I mean the autumn wind."

Zhao Rong shook his head and said seriously: "I see that there is air in the autumn wind and air blowing from below."

"Light golden aura."

Return to silence.

Zhao Rong squatted on the edge of the cliff, lowered his head and squinted.

It's like looking into the abyss, or like recalling memories.

"Gui, do you remember what I said before, that I saw a huge tripod formed by the condensation of air on the top of the Moon Sacrifice Mountain? The tripod was light golden in color, with four legs and two ears, and was square in shape..."

Gui nodded. After Zhao Rong practiced the "Heart Lake Evil Dragon Technique", his eyes gained some ability to see qi.

Zhao Rong nodded and pointed at the 'autumn wind' blowing upwards. "The source of the energy of the pale golden mountain cauldron is the wind blowing up from this Sin Abyss..."

"Return, we are indeed inside the Moon Sacrifice Mountain now."

Zhao Rong chuckled and asked, "Gui, do you recognize this light golden energy? Is it dragon energy, evil energy, or the revealed magic power of a great being? Is there a great being sealed down there? Or... is there some peerless treasure down there?"

The sword spirit was silent for a while, then shook his head, "I don't know. I don't know."

Zhao Rong nodded and didn't ask any more questions about the light golden aura and the magnificent four-legged cauldron.

Gui Jing was quiet, but advised: "Zhao Rong, don't look down any more, be careful not to fall. I can feel that there are unknown dangers below. There may be things beyond your cognition in places like this, and this strange ruins is also the same. You'd better not walk around..."

Zhao Rong smiled and said half-seriously, "Unknown dangers also mean opportunities... How about I try falling off a cliff? I don't think I've ever fallen off a cliff before, maybe I can find a great opportunity down there."

Gui frowned, but did not attack Zhao Rong this time, or use provocation:

"Don't make trouble. This is not a place you can explore at your current Fuyao level. Let's go first and remember how to get here. Come back and explore when you have the strength and confidence."

Zhao Rong nodded and looked around.

He sensed that a certain sword spirit seemed to be hiding something from him.

But Zhao Rong was not going to ask any further questions.

He turned and walked away from the cliff.

Before leaving, Zhao Rong turned his head and stared at the abyss of sin below him.

He always felt that... there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him in the abyss of sin.

Xiaoyu finally returned to the hall on the cliff and found Zhao Rong.

She didn't know why she ran away before.

Anyway, her ignorant intuition told her that if the girl blushed and was shy, she should just run away.

This seems to be a necessary skill for girls in any era, and she can learn it without any guidance.

Before Xiaoyu returned, he had actually figured out and confirmed one thing, which was...

This Mr. Zhao is really handsome.

When she met Mr. Zhao in Xingzi Town before, she didn't think he was handsome, she just thought he had an average appearance.

And now, after Master Zhao was rescued by Sister Xiu'er and his injuries were healed, Xiaoyu felt that his reshaped face was really handsome.

It's not like she had never seen a handsome young man like that before, but none of them gave her such a strong and attractive feeling as Zhao Rong who had just walked out of the dragon coffin.

Xiaoyu, who was very young, had only roughly divided the men she met into good-looking or ugly, and she didn't treat them any differently. After all, the little girl didn't know anything about love.

But she never expected that she would encounter an "unreasonable accident" today.

Xiao Li Nu, who has always been ignorant about certain things, doesn't know how to describe the visual sensation that Zhao Rong's appearance brings to her.

It was as if... Mr. Zhao's heroic appearance was completely in line with her aesthetic preferences, or rather... it was completely in line with the aesthetic preferences of all the Li women, including Xiaoyu, and hit every key point they liked.

This is a face that can make all the cold and arrogant women stare at it with attention. There is an attraction that comes from deep in the blood and is difficult to ignore.

If Zhao Rong's new look were seen by other normal human women, it would only be normal handsomeness and pleasing to the eye. It might be very good-looking, but it would never be enough to shock people with its stunning appearance.

Just like the review of a certain sword spirit not long ago.

Xiaoyu blushed suddenly just now, mostly because Mr. Zhao's appearance was too lethal to the women...

At this moment, the little girl had calmed down outside.

Her face was no longer red and she washed it, calmed down for a while and returned.

Xiaoyu, with a tense face, found Zhao Rong, who was wandering around the main hall.

The mission she stayed for hasn't been completed yet, so she can't just leave.

And one of the most important tasks is to send this Mr. Zhao away as promised to Sister Xiu'er.

Zhao Rong and Xiaoyu didn't say much when they met this time.

Except for the latter, who couldn't help but secretly quicken his heartbeat and blush slightly after seeing the former's face.

Under Zhao Rong's curious gaze, Xiaoyu first tidied up the dragon coffin, then took out the solemn robe of the late Emperor Dali, put it into the dragon coffin, and arranged the cenotaph.

Then she took out a small four-legged bronze tripod and put it back into the empty dragon coffin.

Everything is restored to its previous layout.

However, Zhao Rong's pupils shrank slightly when he saw the small four-legged bronze tripod.

This tripod looked somewhat familiar to him. Wasn't it exactly the same as the big tripod on the top of Jiyue Mountain that was made of light golden gas?

Is this small bronze tripod modeled after the large gas-shaped tripod on the top of the mountain?

As if sensing Zhao Rong's gaze, Xiaoyu did not leave immediately after setting up the dragon coffin. Instead, he took this opportunity to explain:

"Sir, there is a teleportation array in this hall. The other end is the main hall of the Dali Emperor's Mausoleum that you have been to. You were brought here by Sister Xiu'er through it..."

Zhao Rong nodded. In fact, he already knew something.

When Luo Xiu activated the dragon coffin formation at the Dali Imperial Mausoleum, Gui had actually already woken up.

Zhao Rong was just thinking about how to leave with Gui, when it told him Luo Xiu's method of opening the magic circle.

But now, Xiaoyu told him some things that he didn't know.

"It seems that there are many teleportation arrays like this near Jiyue Mountain, but I don't know much about them... Sir, the bronze tripod is the core of the array and also the activation mechanism. It requires a drop of Li Nu's blood..."

Seeing Zhao Rong's curiosity, Xiaoyu took the initiative to explain the method of opening the magic circle.

At this moment, she couldn't help but glance at Zhao Rong's focused face:

"But sir, you have to leave from another hall later."

"Why is that?"

"As far as I know, these ancient teleportation arrays are one-way and can only lead to one direction. So when you leave later, you have to use the teleportation array in another hall. The arrangement there is the same as here, except that there is no dragon coffin, but there is a bronze tripod array eye... It can lead to a safe place on Jiyue Mountain and send you out safely."

The little girl arranged everything clearly.

Zhao Rong thought about it and nodded.

Xiaoyu clapped his hands and led the way out of the hall:

"Okay, I'll take you there now. The other teleportation hall is near the center of the ruins, a little far away... You can leave from there in the same way I just told you."

Zhao Rong asked: "Wait, what about you?"

"I sent you away. I am leaving too, but I am going to the Jiutian Han Palace. Hmm, the door leading to the Jiutian Han Palace seems to be closing soon. It is still large enough for me to leave alone..."

Xiaoyu suddenly turned around and blinked, "Why, Mr. Zhao can't bear to part with Xiaoyu."

Zhao Rong was stunned for a moment, then smiled, straightened his waist and clasped his fists, saying:

"Lady Xiaoyu, we have a long way to go, and we will meet again!"

Xiaoyu giggled, then quickly put on a serious face and clasped her fists in a serious manner, returning the greeting in a very heroic manner like a female warrior:

"Mr. Zhao, the world is long and the sky is high. We will meet again in the future!"

Xiaoyu brought Zhao Rong all the way to the center of this huge ruins.

Along the way, the little girl led Zhao Rong around many strange and dangerous dilapidated buildings.

"Mr. Zhao, you can't touch there..."

"oh."

"Mr. Zhao, you can't leave here either. Come out quickly."

"OK."

"Mr. Zhao, what do you want to do now? Well, don't be curious. You really can't wander around here. If that noble finds out, you will probably be in trouble."

"OK."

At this time, the two were approaching the center of the ruins and were passing by a hot spring full of Jiutian Hangong flowers.

Zhao Rong couldn't help but glance sideways at it; this hot spring looked somewhat familiar.

He walked behind Xiaoyu and glanced at the "bright moon" in the sky above his head.

As soon as they approached the central area of ​​the ruins, they could already see the "bright moon" hanging in the sky from afar.

At this time, the two of them passed under the bright moon.

Zhao Rong looked up and finally saw clearly what was happening in this "bright moon".

There is a crystal pavilion in the bright moon, and inside the pavilion, there is a faint floating cyan-gold fairy skirt.

They were surrounded by a milky white dazzling light, forming a bright moon hanging in the sky above their heads.

When Zhao Rong saw the crystal pavilion in the bright moon, he finally remembered why it looked so familiar.

Because he had seen this combination of hot spring and pavilion not long ago, but not in Jiyue Mountain, but in the imperial palace of Hanjing.

There are also hot springs and pavilions in the Guanghan Palace of Empress Dowager Dugu Chanyi. Although the latter is not a crystal pavilion, its layout is obviously modeled after that of this relic.

Zhao Rong kept it in mind silently.

"Mr. Zhao, you are looking around again. This is where women bathe. You can't look around."

Zhao Rong laughed, "Is anyone taking a shower now?"

"You can't look at that either. Don't look at anything inappropriate."

Zhao Rong smiled and nodded, then asked, "How far is it?"

Xiaoyu pointed to a palace not far away. "It's right in front of us. Do you see the palace in the middle of the two pavilions?"

Zhao Rong nodded, "That's fast. By the way, where did you leave from? Did you also use the teleportation array to teleport to... Jiutian Han Palace?"

Xiaoyu looked back at Zhao Rong and pointed in the direction of the bright moon above his head.

"The bright moon is still there. As long as the moonlight is still there, the entrance is still open. The nobleman has passed away first, leaving us this moonlight, which is just enough to guide the eighteen of us to ascend. Now I am the only one missing."

"Moonlight?" Zhao Rong glanced at the sky behind Xiaoyu and suddenly asked, "What if the moonlight behind you goes out completely?"

Xiaoyu tilted her head to look at Zhao Rong's face, covered her mouth and laughed, "Of course I can't leave. Didn't I tell you... But how can the moonlight go out? I haven't left yet. I'm waiting for you to leave first."

Zhao Rong nodded, and couldn't help but glance at the sky behind Xiaoyu. He looked carefully and took a breath, "Well...why don't you go first?"

Xiaoyu was holding his hand and said leisurely: "No hurry, I'll send you first..."

Zhao Rong suddenly pointed at the bright moon in the sky and interrupted:

"Uh, you'd better take a look. The moonlight seems to be disappearing soon."

Xiaoyu: “…”

The little girl who was strolling leisurely in the garden a second ago suddenly had her smile frozen. She turned around sharply and saw the bright moon above her head becoming increasingly dimmer.

Her expression was incredible.

"How is it possible...Oh no!"
