Three days later, on a full-moon night, the old monk stood calmly before the Buddha statue in the main hall, folding his Buddhist beads in his hands. A smile flickered on his lips as he said, "There's only an hour left until Yun Guchi is born. We're still some distance away from the foot of Dengtian Cliff in the back mountain. It's time for you to set off."
"Don't you plan to go with us, Holy Monk?" Ling Xuehuang asked.
The old monk grinned and said, "I am old and frail, just a mortal, so I won't join you young people in this. Besides, it's still a long way from here to the foot of Dengtian Cliff. I'm afraid my old bones can't bear it!"
Qin Tian said meaningfully, "Since the divine monk is not able to come, then go back to your room and rest. Without me waiting by your side, you'd better not go out. It will be quite lively tonight, and there may be some crazy people out there."
There's a hidden meaning in these words!
During these three days, although the old monk did nothing and was extremely quiet, the more so, the more Qin Tian was certain that the old monk was the abbot Tianlong.
In fact, the person who wanted to kill him together with Feng Ningxue on the cliff that night was this old monk.
As for body shape, it is nothing at all for a strong man in the realm of divine enlightenment, and can be changed at will.
The old monk just pretended to be ignorant, as if he didn't understand what Qin Tian meant, and said politely, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qin. I am fine."
Xuan Xin continued, "Uncle Master, have a good rest! I will definitely live up to Master's expectations."
The old monk nodded and said "good".
Qin Tian, Ling Xuehuang and Xuan Xin left, exited Chanyun Temple, and went down Dengtian Cliff via a small path.
Forty minutes later, the three of them stood at the foot of Dengtian Cliff. There was a winding river with no end in sight. The banks of the river were extremely wide, and behind the right side of the three of them was a dense bamboo forest.
The water was gurgling, the breeze was blowing gently, and Ling Xuehuang's clothes were fluttering. He looked up at the moon. The full moon was brighter than when he was at the top of the mountain.
Qin Tianze was calm and composed, his expression as usual, while Xuanxin's face was full of tension. He would never let the treasure fall into Qin Tian's hands. Although Qin Tian was extremely powerful, this was not what he was worried about.
Qin Tian has someone to solve the problem, what he is really worried about is whether that precious treasure will choose him.
"Have you noticed that the moonlight seems to be concentrated at the bottom of the cliff? When the moonlight is full, it will probably be the time when the Yungu Pool appears!" Ling Xuehuang said.
This speculation is not groundless, because moonlight is regularly pouring into the valley.
As soon as Ling Xuehuang finished speaking, the stream in front of the three of them suddenly surged and the moonlight gathered in the stream. When the rolling waves turned into silver like moonlight, the ground under the valley began to shake violently.
At the same time, a hexagonal wellhead rose in the center of the stream. The area occupied by the wellhead was exactly the circular limit that the stream could withstand. The wellhead slowly rose and stopped at a height of 1.6 meters.
The well mouth is made of bronze and looks like it was made in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. One corner of the bronze well mouth faces the three people. Coincidentally, it is on this side that three big characters are written: Yun Gu Chi.
Ling Xuehuang looked at the rising bronze wellhead and said in surprise, "Before, when I sensed the stream below, there was no such ancient well. It was really hard to see any mechanism at the bottom of the cliff."
"This reflects the incredible craftsmanship of its builder. Look at the water in the pool, it's all silver, and somewhat close to solid, like mercury." Qin Tian said slowly.
Ling Xuehuang was slightly stunned. "If this pool is full of mercury, it definitely can't be ordinary mercury. Thinking about it is not a simple matter!"
Qin Tian nodded, "We have to give it a try. If we don't try, we'll never know if it works or not."
As he spoke, Qin Tian took a slow step forward. Xuan Xin stepped forward to block Qin Tian's way, clasped his hands together, performed a Buddhist salute, and said with a righteous air, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin. Since this pool is extremely dangerous, why don't you let me go down first and clear the way for the two of you?"
If I am safe and sound, I will inform you two later. What do you think, Benefactor Qin?"
Qin Tian and Ling Xuehuang both laughed, one with a hint of contempt, the other also with a hint of contempt.
"Xuanxin, it's not very kind of you to say this. Don't speak so righteously. Let me be frank. Now that we have this treasure in front of us, we have no friends. Let's rely on our own abilities!" Ling Xuehuang said.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a splash and Xuanxin jumped directly into the Yungu Pond.
Qin Tian said, "This action is really quick."
As they spoke, Qin Tian and Ling Xuehuang smiled at each other, and they both set off instantly and went directly into the Yungu Pool.
Feng Ningxue, who was in the dark, wanted to move forward to stop Qin Tian, but the man in black beside him stopped her and said, "Don't worry, we can just sit back and reap the benefits."
"Profits come from the fisherman? Aren't you afraid that Qin Tian will absorb and refine the Twin Green Lotus at the bottom of the pond?" Feng Ningxue asked.
The man in black smiled and said, "It seems you don't understand the situation very well. Not to mention, with Xuan Xin here, even if he wanted to absorb it, he probably wouldn't dare.
Even though Ling Xuehuang was by his side, so what? A thousand-year-old twin blue lotus—what a treasure! With such a treasure before them, no one could resist its temptation.
They will even resort to any means to obtain the treasure. Don't underestimate the temptation of the treasure.
To make an analogy, it's like... for ordinary people, these twin green lotus flowers are equivalent to 10 billion yuan. What does that mean? It's money that you can't spend in your lifetime.
As long as you take a step forward, as long as you do something, such as killing people, arson, or even killing more people, the 10 billion will be yours, and the police will not find out about the murder or any bad things you do.
Believe me, most people, almost all of them, would choose to kill or do anything without hesitation."
Hearing the words of the man in black, Feng Ningxue said with a forced smile, "You are quite right, but if this were just a random question from someone else, many people's answers would be just.
I have never had close contact with it, and I have never experienced the feeling of having it at my fingertips.
Righteous and high-sounding words come out of his mouth easily."
The man in black smiled and said, "In about two and a half hours, the Yungu Pond will disappear. Let's wait! It will be quick."
By the way, your Long family's ancestor, Long Wudi, seems to be arriving in Dunhuang City soon."
Feng Ningxue was slightly stunned when she heard this, her expression extremely unnatural. She asked, "Why didn't you tell me about today's operation? You handle it yourself! I'm going to hide for a while."
After saying that, Feng Ningxue turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by the man in black, "Why bother! You didn't do anything wrong. So what if Long Wudi is here? He's just a pawn."
Besides, Long Wudi now has forgotten most things and is a little crazy. It's okay, relax."
