Chapter 71 Please open the back door and give me the hidden money.
"I don't know. The area around the sacred lake was sealed off ten thousand years ago, and no one has been there for a long time."
A sacred lake? That dark, murky water is actually a sacred lake?
"What does that have to do with the sacred lake water in the Zhu Pavilion?" Mu Jianjian seized on the "ten thousand years ago" point in time, "What exactly happened ten thousand years ago?"
"Ten thousand years ago, the sacred lake was polluted. The Pavilion Master dredged up the last remaining pure water from the sacred lake and built the Vermilion Pavilion. As for what happened ten thousand years ago..." the stone lion said slowly, "I hadn't been built yet at that time. I only heard the Pavilion Master mention it a little."
Seeing that it didn't seem to be lying, Mu Jianjian nodded and prepared to leave.
"Don't go! I've told you everything I know! Quickly press my head against your body!" Stone Lion said urgently as he watched the female cultivator disappear from his sight.
"Oh, I'd forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Mu Jianjian turned around, reappearing in its sight, and slowly picked up the stone lion head—
Right in its sight, it covered its head and walked further and further away from its body.
Stone Lion: ?
"What are you doing? You're going the wrong way! It's connected to your body!"
Mu Jianjian was baffled by the stone lion's roar, "What are you yelling about? I didn't say I was going to put it back for you."
The stone lion head remained silent for a few seconds before reacting, then burst into a furious roar, "You female cultivator, you're a liar!"
Mu Jianjian threw the lion head away a second before it spoke, covering her ears in advance.
The lion's head rolled further and further away with a "thump, thump," accompanied by its constant cursing at Mu Jianjian.
"Oops." Mu Jianjian made a face at the stone lion head.
Serves you right for harming people! I'll make sure you can't connect to the game!

After roughly cleaning up the scene with lime, Mu Jianjian peered into the room where Shi Hu had thrown the cultivator.
She poked at the membrane-like thing in front of the door. Although she wanted to save these unfortunate souls, she was worried that if she spent too much time here, Yueyue would have finished her business.
So she quickly returned to the underwater palace through the secret passage behind the wooden door, and this time chose another path at the fork in the road.
This time, the road clearly trended downwards and was longer and darker.
After running for about fifteen minutes, Mu Jianjian finally heard a noise ahead.
She cheered herself up with joy.
It must be Yueyue!
As the "thump thump thump" sound rapidly approached, Mu Jianjian finally realized that something was wrong.
Yueyue can't be that fat...
Wait, the last one to enter the palace wasn't Yueyue, it was Shihu!
How could she have forgotten about that!
Immediately afterward, a stone claw lashed out at her from the darkness. Mu Jianjian's right pupil flashed, and she dodged it in a hurry.
The sound was clearly far away, how did it suddenly get so close?
Hearing the woman's rapid breathing in front of him, Shi Hu slowly spoke.
"You took the runes and water from the pool, trying to gain life without paying a price. One should not be too greedy."
It originally intended to chase after the four people in front, but suddenly smelled the aura of another cultivator behind it—
A vibrant and energetic aura.
If we take away this female cultivator's soul, the sect leader will very likely wake up sooner!
"Greedy?" Mu Jianjian was in no way inferior to Shi Hu in terms of aura. "Not only did you secretly add talismans to the pool to absorb the cultivators' true energy and life force, but you also kidnapped people to collect their souls. You have the nerve to criticize others for your double standards?"
Diodes are prohibited!
Without saying another word, Shi Hu suddenly lunged at the female cultivator.
Although Mu Jianjian's pupil technique could only see the flow of true energy around her, and was of little use to such a simple stone sculpture with excellent strength and speed, she could still use her true energy to dodge as she moved forward.
Shi Hu was agitated. In just one hour, the female cultivator's speed had increased significantly!
Moreover, this female cultivator came alone... something might have happened to the stone lion.
If it wasn't this female cultivator, then who could it be?
As Mu Jianjian dodged, she inwardly complained about her unlucky fate.
Four people came in from under the pavilion in the middle of the lake, but she was the only one who took the wrong path and ran into the stone lions and stone tigers!
[Have you ever considered that others chose the right path because of their abilities?] The system silently grumbled.
Upon hearing the system's voice, Mu Jianjian wanted to argue with it, "Why don't you just say that it has built-in X-ray vision?"
The system was speechless, while Mu Jianjian continued to output information frantically.
"Instead of criticizing me, why don't you help me out next time I open a blind box and think of a way to give me the hidden item?"
She never managed to buy a hidden item from blind boxes in her past life!
system:……
However, the blind boxes in the system settings do not have hidden versions.
——
Hearing the increasingly clear roar behind him, Ye Wuluo looked at the woman's back in front of him and said, "Little Yue'er, you go first, I'll take care of what's behind us."
After saying that, he seemed to realize something and added, "Is it okay?"
"Whatever." Sang Wanyue didn't look back and kept walking forward.
Ye Wulu chuckled softly, the joy in her peach blossom eyes showing no attempt to conceal it.
He knew that Xiaoyue'er's words meant she had agreed.
Well, Xiaoyue had talked things out with him earlier, and he thought about it carefully. If he could get Xiaoyue to forgive him, maybe he could slowly change a little bit...
First, sever ties with his childhood sweetheart, then change your self-righteousness and selfishness—
Even if he doesn't think so at all in terms of personality.
After all, he had experienced the heart-wrenching despair he felt in the secret realm before, and he didn't want to experience it again.
——
Mu Jianjian is still trying to escape.
She quickly tied a tight knot in the wound on her thigh where she had been stepped on, then plucked the only two newly grown leaves from the pine tree from her spatial storage and stuffed them into her mouth.
"Fine, how about I settle for second best and not bother with the hidden item? Just give me a growth agent, the kind that makes a pine tree grow leaves if you put a drop on it."
Mu Jianjian tragically discovered that the skill point she had "activated" the most in the secret realm was actually escape.
system:……
Wake up, you won't even have the hidden version.
Inside the underwater palace, a long, dark passageway leads through different rooms, with a large and a small figure chasing each other until the view gradually opens up and a stone door appears before them.
When Mu Jianjian saw the stone gate, it was like seeing a savior.
As long as she enters the stone gate first, and then turns around to destroy and block it with her true energy, she can delay the stone tiger for a long time, even if she can't kill it.
This way, she'll most likely be able to catch up with Yueyue!
Mu Jianjian quickly approached the stone door, and just as her right hand touched the uneven stone wall, the door opened from the inside!
At the same time, a burst of true energy struck her neck, while the stone tiger behind her was already closing in heavily towards her lower body!
Mu Jianjian's eyes narrowed and she quickly dodged to the side, but a bloody gash was still left on her neck.
She bit her lip, clutched her neck, and backed away. Blood dripped from between her fingers, staining her robes red. Then, a red figure slowly emerged from behind the opened stone door.
The man fanned himself, his expression carefree and languid. His upturned peach blossom eyes swept lightly over Shi Hu, finally landing on Mu Jianjian, who was panting heavily.
