Chapter 32 The Underwater Grave
The two of them held their swords and went deeper into the flowers.
In just one cup of tea, the two of them flew through large grass musk clumps, and the pollen filled their shoes, and the strong fragrance of flowers filled their bodies.
In addition to grass musk, there are also large areas of hyacinth, orchids, irises, garlands, calendula, sun chrysanthemum, evening primrose, lavender, and poppiano. A lotus pond was dug up at the edge, planting lotus flowers. Some of these flowers are in bud, while others are waiting for the flowering period.
Walking up and down among these flowers, Wen Xuan felt a feeling of "only envying mandarin ducks but not immortals" from his heart, and he unconsciously glanced at the boy.
The boy pursed his lips slightly, and his expression was very solemn between his sparse eyebrows and eyes, and he had a unique heroic look. The boy's slender fingers were tightly held on the sword, focusing on the pointing of the flower crown, and carefully searching for the traces of the medicine snake.
Wen Xuan calmed down and followed the boy.
The moonlight was hazy, and the two of them rose and fell in the sea of flowers that could not be forgotten at a glance.
After an hour, all the flowers had been searched, without any trace of the medicine snake.
The boy and Wen Xuan sat side by side on the edge of the lotus pond to rest, and they were sweating a little. Wen Xuan was holding his clothes and fanning the air while saying, "Young Master, is Afu lying to us?"
The boy shook his head, his forehead covered with dense sweat, and was as crystal clear as stars under the hazy moonlight and the starlight was bright.
Wen Xuan's face suddenly became hot and turned red. He thought to himself, "I haven't drunk again today, why are you falling on me? Is it because I'm running too hot?" So he accelerated the speed of fanning in his hand.
The boy seemed to notice Wen Xuan's gaze, and gently wiped away the slightest sweat with his sleeve.
The boy shook his head.
"It's not that Ah Fu lied to us. We have searched all the sea of flowers, and there is no medicine snake."
The boy looked around, and Wen Xuan also looked at it and said, "I think it is definitely not easy to find the medicine snake. Think about it, the flowers here are so beautiful, and people from all over the countryside come here to enjoy the flowers. There are many people. If the medicine snake crawls around, it will be discovered soon..."
Suddenly, the boy's eyes stopped, Wen Xuan shut up and looked along the boy's gaze. The boy was staring at the lotus pond.
The lotus pond is roughly ten acres square, with crescent moons and starlight reflected in the sky on the water surface, and small lotus leaves float gently on the water surface.
"Shui!" Wen Xuan slapped his head.
"There is no water source nearby. The water in the water prison and the water in the lotus pond must have been drawn from the river in the mountains!"
Wen Xuan took a deep breath and jumped gently into the air, more than ten feet high. He couldn't hide his expression as if he had discovered any secret.
"Guess, what did I find?" Wen Xuan wanted to keep it a secret.
The boy wrote a wall on the ground with the branches in his hand.
Wen Xuan blinked, "Okay, the heroes see each other!"
"This lotus pond looks like it is at the deepest part of this sea of flowers. It takes a long time to walk in from the entrance, so few people come. But if you jump up and look, you will find that the lotus pond is actually separated from the back garden of Cui's house by a wall."
Wen Xuan said, looking into the boy's eyes, "The lotus pond and the water prison are connected!"
The boy nodded.
"Where will the medicine snake be?" Wen Xuan looked around.
Seeing that Wen Xuan had completely recovered his strength at this moment, the boy stood up and signaled Wen Xuan to be with him. Wen Xuan jumped up without waiting for the boy to give the invitation gesture.
"What did you find?" Wen Xuan asked the boy curiously. The boy did not answer, but just walked deeper. Wen Xuan followed along and observed all the way.
When he approached the large lotus pond at the base of the wall of Cui's house, the boy frowned.
On this lotus pond, there are wisps of water mist floating, like smoke and a little weird.
Wen Xuan said, "It seems like a confusion set by someone."
The boy nodded.
The young man looked at the water and then at Wen Xuan. Wen Xuan immediately understood it and said, "I'll pinch a water-avoiding technique."
The young man jumped lightly and disappeared. Wen Xuan pinched the trick and followed quickly.
When the two reached the bottom of the water, it was pitch black. Only the dead branches on Wen Xuan's chest kept flashing with light.
Wen Xuan took out the dead branches, and a bright but not dazzling light condensed there.
Because they had broken the chain of the Vajra with Linghua, the two were not surprised that the dead branches would react in the water prison.
Under the light of the dead branches, the two dived to the bottom of the water, and the mud at the bottom was more than one person deep.
The two of them gently tapped the mud at the bottom of the water and dived towards Cui's house.
Wen Xuan held the waterproof technique and carefully avoided the mud, but he found that the young man was diving in the water, not only did he not need to use spells, but he was also flexible and light, and he moved freely. Both the water and the mud seemed to understand his intentions and avoided him early.
Wen Xuan was reluctant to follow the boy while feeling close to him, saving a lot of effort.
After diving for a while, the mud on the soles of his feet gradually became thinner. The two were surprised to find that there was a tomb underwater among the water grass in front of them.
The tomb was built into a round shape, and the smooth marble was as clean as new under the light of the spiritual brilliance.
The boy and Wen Xuan circled around the tomb, but did not find the tombstone.
Wen Xuan touched the underwater grave with his hands and was surprised to find that the entire grave was well protected by the Water Resistance Technique.
The boy has already started looking for the entrance.
He turned the tomb and knocked, watched, and thought.
Wen Xuan watched while watching, "Didn't this Cui ancestor practice medicine? When did he switch to Lu Ban's disciples? He loves to build secret rooms and secret pavilions so much, and just become a carpenter. Now, even a secret tomb has been created."
As he was speaking, the boy had already triggered the mechanism, and a square vacancy appeared on the ground on the side of the grave, revealing the deep stone steps below.
The boy walked in front and Wen Xuan followed behind. With the waterproof technique for the grave, Wen Xuan went to the Dharma and looked around curiously.
The tomb is not big, it is wrapped in white jade, as clear and clean as crystal, but the temperature is very low, and Wen Xuan couldn't help but sneeze several times.
In the middle of the tomb chamber, there is a coffin.
The boy approached Wen Xuan and found that in the crystal-like coffin was a female corpse.
Wen Xuan recognized it with just a glance. "Young Master, isn't this Mrs. Cui!"
The appearance that looked very similar to Cui Yichen, but had the peace and tranquility that Cui Yichen did not have.
The boy nodded.
The two looked elsewhere and saw many small crystal boxes on the ground around the tomb. Wen Xuan looked around and shouted.
"Young Master, Medicine Snake!!"
The boy obviously had also discovered that those colorful, long and short snakes were not moving because the temperature was too low. But the boy walked around and knew that these were all highly venomous snakes, and they were not ordinary venomous snakes, but new types of venomous snakes that were fed to human essence lifespan.
