Chapter 358: Golden Light Breaks on Qingwei Peak
Long Qi was certain that Lingxiang would not harm him. He believed that everything Lingxiang did had its reasons, and if he wanted to know what they were, the answer must be in Qingwei Peak.
Liu Xia originally wanted to stop him, but seeing Long Qi's determined look, he had to give up.
It’s not that Liu Xia doesn’t trust Lingxiang. On the contrary, he also feels that everything happens for a reason. But as Long Qi’s brother, his worry is understandable.
Long Qi glanced at everyone, then resolutely walked up the mountain.
As the magic circle drew closer, the burning heat around him didn't subside at all, and instead became even more intense. However, Long Qi showed no intention of stopping. Even with his steps becoming increasingly difficult, he still gritted his teeth.
As if sensing Long Qi's determination, the water ball on the top of the long staff in his hand suddenly expanded and wrapped Long Qi in an instant.
The Water Spirit Pearl circled around Long Qi like a flying bird, following him closely. As the Water Spirit Pearl circled, the water shield surged like waves.
As the water shield opened, Long Qi no longer felt the heat of the magic circle. A cool feeling came over him, and his whole body felt comfortable.
So this is what Luoli meant by the key!
Long Qi suddenly realized, but did not stay for long, and hurried up the mountain.
The three people outside the formation saw the situation clearly. Lian Qiao felt strange. Seeing that the water cover was not small and could accommodate several of them, why did they only let Long Qi go up the mountain?
After hearing Lian Qiao's question, Liu Xia pondered for a long time, but he couldn't guess it, so he could only say: "I think Miss Lingxiang's instructions must have a deep meaning." He said no more.
Looking at Long Qi who was walking further and further away, Lian Qiao just curled her lips - Liu Xia probably didn't know either, so he used this sentence to cover up for herself!
With the protection of the water shield, Long Qi felt relaxed. Looking at the green plants around him that were still full of vitality along the way, he confirmed Lian Qiao's statement. However, Long Qi couldn't help but wonder, can the golden light of this magic circle really hurt people?
Although he thought so, Long Qi did not dare to take it lightly.
The journey was not easy. Shuizhao always seemed to be one step behind Long Qi, so after taking a few steps, Long Qi had to wait for Shuizhao to catch up.
After all, water flows to the lowest place. Now that Long Qi is going up the mountain and being protected by the Water Spirit Pearl, it is considered to be against the laws of nature.
However, the closer he got to the summit, the more dazzling the golden light became. Long Qi could only shield his face as he groped his way forward. By the time Long Qi reached the summit of Qingwei Peak, the sky was already a fish belly color. The climb that once took him only a few moments now took him a whole day and a whole night!
Fortunately, inside Xianyunju, everything was as normal as the outside world, as if a shadow had blocked the golden light, and even the vision became extremely clear.
Xianyunju was the same as before, but now it was eerily quiet, without the usual bustle. Looking at the familiar scene around him, Long Qi couldn't help but feel melancholy.
But before Long Qi could think about it, the shadow under him began to shake.
Long Qi was shocked when he saw this. He looked up and saw that there was something hanging in the air, blocking the dazzling light.
So this is what Xianyunju's shadow looks like! But what is that? Where does this light come from?
During the years of training with Wuji, Long Qi had also dabbled in formations. While not an expert, he had learned quite a bit. As he made his way down the mountain to the summit, he found no trace of a formation. Therefore, the golden light enveloping Qingwei Peak couldn't be caused by a formation.
If it's not a magic circle, then why is it so? Could it be some kind of magical treasure?
Perhaps it was in line with what Long Qi thought, the shadow of Xianyunju gradually shrank, the aperture kept getting closer, and the shadow was about to disappear.
At this moment, the water spirit beads surrounding Long Qi suddenly flew out of the water cover, and the water cover also returned to the water spirit beads as the beads flew out.
The pain came suddenly, burning every piece of Long Qi's skin. He quickly performed a water spell to protect his body.
But Long Qi had a fire spirit root, and although he could use magic other than fire, it was ultimately ineffective. Furthermore, this light was not ordinary light, so how could his half-baked magic be able to deal with it?
The water shield was emitting steam, which made Long Qi feel like he was being boiled in a hot pot.
At this moment, the golden light around gradually dimmed, and the heat sensation also dropped rapidly.
this……
What's going on?
Looking up again, he saw the Water Spirit Pearl circling the object in mid-air, seemingly suppressing it, yet also comforting it. As the Water Spirit Pearl entwined itself, the object gradually descended, until it was right before his eyes. Only then did Long Qi realize that it was actually a lotus platform, and on top of it was...
"Fire Spirit Pearl!"
Isn’t this the Five Elements Fire Spirit Pearl that Lingxiang often takes out to show off when refining the elixir?
At this time, the Fire Spirit Pearl and the Water Spirit Pearl were entangled with each other, inseparable, as if they were lovers who had not seen each other for a long time. One was blue and the other was red, and although they were supposed to be the five elements that counteracted each other, they were in perfect harmony.
Long Qi didn't know what he was thinking. He stared at the two beads in a daze. He raised his hand unconsciously and gathered the two beads together.
It was at this moment that an object fell into Long Qi's arms. It was actually a mirror.
This mirror is very strange. It is impossible to tell what it is made of, but it can be seen that it is a very old artifact.
Despite being an antique, its surface was as smooth as water, without a single scratch. On the back of the mirror, two figures were carved. One had a humanoid form, a bird's face, and a tiger's tail, bare-chested, and was carrying a black bear. The other had a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth, with unkempt hair and a phoenix crown, shrouded in flowing light, and leaning against a phoenix. Between these two figures were two Tai Chi fish images, carved in relief and in negative.
It was the divine tiger-patterned mirror. Lingxiang had used it to subdue Yinghuan before, but Long Qi didn't know it.
It was obvious at first glance that this thing was no ordinary thing. Thinking of the golden light that had just disappeared, Long Qi suddenly realized that it was not a magic circle.
Even though Lingxiang has reached the Foundation Establishment and Condensation Pill Realm, how could she set up a magic array that even Master Fuyin couldn't break? So that's how it is!
But why did Lingxiang do this?
At this time, the morning sun was rising in the sky, and the sunlight was getting brighter. Long Qi was holding the divine tiger-patterned mirror for a while, trying to figure it out, when a beam of light was reflected, causing him to squint his eyes quickly.
But at the moment when Long Qi narrowed his eyes, he saw Lingxiang in the mirror!
Long Qi quickly looked at the mirror again, but the mirror surface was as dull as dead water. No matter how hard Long Qi looked, he could no longer see any shadow.
He fiddled with the mirror anxiously. Although it was only for a moment, Long Qi was sure that it was the spiritual incense!
At this moment, Lingxiang's door suddenly opened, and an invisible air carrying accumulated dust blew towards her.
Long Qi quickly covered his face with his sleeves, and only looked inside the house after the dust settled.
Why did the door suddenly open? Could Lingxiang be in the room?
Thinking of this, Long Qi hurried to the corridor, but suddenly stopped.
At this moment, Long Qi's chest was beating like a drum, and his hands holding the two spirit beads had white knuckles and were shaking constantly.
He really didn't dare to step into the house, perhaps because he was afraid of disturbing the people in the house, or perhaps because he was afraid of being disappointed.
After a long time, Long Qi finally mustered up the courage and walked into the room with his eyes closed.
Sure enough, there was no one in the house...
The furnishings in the house were still there, but it was covered with thick dust, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
Long Qi sighed deeply and stood woodenly at the door for a long time before he moved to open the wooden window.
In the past, Lingxiang often leaned against the window, pointing and gesturing at the others in the yard, or sighing while reading a storybook. Her pretending to be sad was so adorable.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew in from outside, and a muffled sound suddenly came from the house.
Long Qi quickly looked back and saw a half-open hanging scroll lying on the ground under the wooden table in the room.
It's a scroll.
Long Qi felt that the scroll was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. He quickly picked it up and unfolded it, only to see a woman in the painting. Looking closely, he saw that her features bore some resemblance to Ling Xiang.
However, the woman on the paper was more beautiful than Lingxiang. Long Qi even thought that the painting only portrayed one-tenth or one-twelfth of the woman's beauty.
The woman in the painting is graceful and elegant, holding an incense burner and standing on a lotus. A dark shadow can be vaguely seen beside her, curled up at her feet like a long snake. And at the right end of the scroll is a word:
"The night rain in the west window asks about the tea roses, the cold wind cuts the candle, the blue smoke is so beautiful that it refuses to go away. Pure and humble, I don't care about the worldly idleness, holding incense in my white hands, the light is dim and there is no place to find it."
Long Qi then remembered that this was the treasure that Ling Xiang used to suppress the snake demon in Longqiao Town!
Lingxiang cherishes the treasure so much, so how could she leave it in Xianyunju?
But just when Long Qi was feeling strange, the woman he was talking about spoke.
"My child, we meet again."
The voice was so pleasant that Long Qi almost lost his mind. Just when he was trying to concentrate, he suddenly felt dizzy.
A flash of inspiration passed by, and Long Qi disappeared, leaving only the scroll falling to the ground.
And the scroll was actually wrapped with cable ties by itself!
