Chapter 600 Disguise
Buzz buzz buzz...
In the secret room of the water-avoiding shuttle, the Tianhe compass floating in the air kept vibrating.
Chen Mu tilted his ear and listened carefully for a while, and let out a long breath: "Finally caught up."
The regular vibration of the Tianhe compass is the secret sound transmission technique of the Goose Sheep Dao.
Not long after the Pingning water-avoiding shuttle arrived at the outskirts of the Tianhe Water Palace, the Tianhe compass received the remaining information of the secret technique.
The sound transmission showed that the Goose Sheep Dao fleet had arrived at the Tianhe Water Palace in advance and said that it would wait for a month. The water-avoiding shuttle that received the news only needed to enter the Loach Dragon Fire Road to meet up.
"How about we set off now?" Lei Hong suggested excitedly: "More than 20 days ago, the Taoist master had led the fleet into the Loach Dragon Fire Road. If you go late, don't miss the departure time."
"No hurry." Chen Mu shook his head.
"There are still many days before the one-month deadline, we still have time."
"Besides, our water-avoiding shuttle also needs to be disguised and transformed." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.
Without the transformation, it would be difficult to conceal his existence.
…
Chen Mu acted quickly, hovering the Pingning Water Repellent Shuttle far away at the outer edge of the Tianhe Water Palace, and immediately began to work.
He first took out the Absolute Breathing Stones distributed everywhere.
This thing has a strong ability to conceal the breath. If it continues to be kept, outsiders will be able to see something wrong at a glance.
Then he climbed up and down to transform the Water Repellent Shuttle.
He was proficient in the construction method of the Water Repellent Shuttle and knew the core of each place.
It only took one day to complete the imagined transformation one by one.
Late at night, in the secret room of the Taoist temple.
Chen Mu handed Lei Cheng a jade plate with complicated characters on it: "This is a new way to control the water-avoiding shuttle. You have to control the water-avoiding shuttle for a few turns according to this method."
Lei Cheng carefully read the jade plate for a moment, hesitant: "If you operate it this way, is it..."
"Yes, these operations will cause damage to the water-avoiding shuttle." Chen Mu nodded: "But with your attainments in thunder magic, if you can really control the water-avoiding shuttle here, you should cause similar damage to the water-avoiding shuttle."
The Kui Niu drum was destroyed, and if you want to control the water-avoiding shuttle, you can only rely on the ability of the Qi Refiner.
Chen Mu has the Five Thunder Treasure Scroll and the Danshan Sutra, and can transform into a human-shaped Kui Niu drum to freely control the water-avoiding shuttle, but Lei Cheng can't.
The content recorded in the jade plate is a unique method that Chen Mu spent half a month to find out by relying on the perfect-level water-avoiding shuttle refining technique and combining the degree of damage to the Kui Niu drum.
According to this method, Lei Cheng can violently activate the water-avoiding shuttle magic prohibition and realize the ability to control the water-avoiding shuttle, but the water-avoiding shuttle magic prohibition will be greatly damaged.
His transformation inside and outside this day is to actively destroy the magic prohibition and forge similar damage traces.
In this way, it will become reasonable for Lei Cheng to drive the broken water-avoiding shuttle to Tianhe Water Palace.
It also happens to cover up the existence of his human-shaped Kui Niu drum.
...
Two days later.
In the south of Tianhe Water Palace, the huge gate of the water palace is like a ray of sky.
The walls on both sides are smooth and straight, like cliffs.
A water-avoiding shuttle that occasionally emits lightning, like a short-circuited broken machine, is slowly drifting into the water palace.
It didn't take long for the Pingning water-avoiding shuttle to cross the gate and enter the interior of the water palace.
In a dim light, a huge city that can't be seen at a glance appeared in front of everyone.
With the faint light of the fluorescent bath, the wide streets, neat buildings, and pillars that lead straight to the top, like skyscrapers in the past life, came into view one by one.
But this huge water palace was now filled with river water, and there was no one around.
"Is this really the Tianhe Water Palace?"
"Where is the water barrier?"
"The Tianhe Water Palace has existed for hundreds and thousands of years, and it can be flooded..."
"Yunzhou has really undergone a great change..."
The scene in front of them made everyone in the water-avoiding shuttle change color.
Although he had already used the Zhuyu magic sword to explore the scene in the water palace, Chen Mu still couldn't help but feel awe when he saw the Tianhe Water Palace that was completely flooded.
This was the second Tianhe Water Palace that he knew of that was flooded.
He only heard about the collapse of the previous water palace from others. Now, he saw this with his own eyes.
"This Yunzhou is really not worth staying in."
...
In the center of the water palace, there is a huge bottomless hole like a tiankeng. The entrance to the Loach Dragon Fire Road is in it.
The pit was already filled with river water, and bubbles of all sizes kept coming out, and a faint red light appeared at the bottom.
"It is said that thousands of years ago, a certain master of Tianhe Water Palace wanted to use the earth fire to practice the Dragon Sutra, so he drilled underground from the center of the water palace."
"He practiced while looking for a suitable environment. When he practiced the true form of a black dragon and drilled out of the ground, he found that he had crossed 100,000 mountains."
"After that, there was this Loach Dragon Fire Road." The water-avoiding shuttle slowly sank, and Lei Hong explained the relevant rumors to Chen Mu with great interest.
"Have you thought about how to deal with your ancestor?" Chen Mu looked at Lei Cheng.
"I have thought about it." Lei Cheng nodded.
"Then carry this thing close to you." Chen Mu handed Lei Cheng a palm-length gray stone.
That was the Absolute Breath Stone retrieved from the water-avoiding shuttle, and he stuffed a Zhuyu magic sword inside it.
As long as Lei Cheng keeps this magic sword on him, he can always monitor his surroundings through the Diting method.
"All the Breathless Stones have been taken out, and the Water-Repellent Shuttle has been changed to a battle-damaged version."
"Everyone in the Water-Repellent Shuttle has been kept in the dark and doesn't know my existence. The Lei Cheng brothers who came forward to contact the elder Gao Xiu of the Goose-Sheep Sect were also threatened in advance."
Chen Mu recalled the recent arrangements one by one, and felt more relaxed and calm.
"As long as there is no accident when Lei Cheng and Elder Eyang meet and talk, I will never be discovered!"
...
"You have a wild cultivator hiding on your ship." Qiu Jinwu looked at Lei Cheng calmly and said.
Chen Mu: "..."
No? It's exposed now? !
They just met and haven't talked yet, how come it's exposed? !
Looking at the scene transmitted back by the Di Ting magic, Chen Mu felt his scalp tingling.
He originally thought that the person who contacted Lei Cheng would be the ancestor of the Lei family, but he didn't expect that the Taoist master Qiu Jinwu would come in person.
He didn't expect that after just meeting, Qiu Jinwu was sure that there was a condensed Qi cultivator hiding in the Pingning.
"None of the wild cultivators?" Lei Cheng's dull and honest face was full of confusion.
"No?" Qiu Jinwu frowned: "Without the help of the Condensation Qi Refiner, can you control the water-avoiding shuttle?"
"It's really troublesome. Because of improper operation, the water-avoiding shuttle almost disintegrated and collapsed." Lei Cheng explained with a face full of shame.
From the surprise attack, to repairing the water-avoiding shuttle, and finally violently activating the law ban, destructively controlling the water-avoiding shuttle to sail.
Lei Cheng was methodical, unhurried, and honest... nonsense.
Mixing the driving method provided by Chen Mu into real experience, Qiu Jinwu nodded repeatedly.
"So that's it." Qiu Jinwu looked suddenly enlightened.
Finally, I got away with it.
Lei Cheng nodded in agreement.
Chen Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.
That just now, it turned out to be a bluff, fortunately Lei Cheng's reaction was smooth and natural enough.
"It's hard for you." Qiu Jinwu sighed.
"It's my duty, it's not difficult." Lei Cheng bowed solemnly and clasped his fists.
Chen Mu watched happily through the divine power of listening.
Honest people are really good at lying. Even Qiu Jinwu, a Taoist master, couldn't see Lei Cheng's flaws.
But before he could be happy for long, he heard Qiu Jinwu praising him: "It's hard for you to make up such a true lie."
Chen Mu: "..."
"So, there is indeed a wild cultivator hiding in the Pingning, right?" Qiu Jinwu looked at Lei Cheng firmly and spoke calmly.
No, how did you get out!
Didn't you suddenly realize and accept Lei Cheng's statement just now?
Why did you change your mind now!
Damn it!
