Chapter 1658: Strange Underground Palace
The ghost star vine was naturally obedient to Pei Junlin, and did not dare to disobey it a little bit. According to Pei Junlin's instructions, it probed into the whirlpool. Sure enough, the power of this ghost star vine far surpassed the roots emitted by Lao Yu. After the ghost star vine circled the vortex a few times, a vine plunged into the vortex without hesitation.
At the moment when the ghost star vines entered the vortex, a picture appeared in front of Pei Junlin's eyes. This scene is exactly the message sent back by the ghost star vine. In this picture, there is a vast underground palace under the vortex.
This underground palace has been sealed in dust for many years, and the murals on the wall look extremely strange. The first thing that caught Pei Junlin's eyes was a very weird portrait, which looked like a person's eyes were erect and long, and his nose was extremely high.
Seeing that the human beings in these portraits did not look like ordinary people at all, Pei Junlin was a little skeptical. Could it be that the portraits were the legendary protoss?
"There is an underground palace under the vortex. Shall we go in and take a look? Maybe we can get some unexpected gains." Pei Junlin said to the old woman beside him in a deliberative tone.
The old woman pondered for a moment, nodded to Pei Junlin, then turned to Ning Ning, the girl in white behind her, and said, "Don't go in, just stay outside, it may be risky to go in, and you can't do it at all." response."
When the old woman spoke, she seemed to be speaking to Ning Ning alone, but actually included An Tie and asked the two young people to stay outside.
"Master, I want to go in with you." An Tie, who seemed to be sticky with Miss Ning, looked at Pei Junlin with a very serious expression.
Pei Junlin didn't expect An Tie to have such a reaction, and he insisted on going in with him.
However, after thinking about it, Pei Junlin still felt that this was inappropriate. After all, it would be safer to leave one person outside, otherwise, if he encountered danger in the whirlpool, he would be caught in the same pot.
"You should stay with Miss Ningning outside. If you encounter any danger, you should have someone to take care of you." Pei Junlin took a look, and An Tie said.
And obviously he was a little dissatisfied with Pei Junlin's decision, and Pei Junlin criticized him with his eyes for what he wanted to say.
The purpose of Pei Junlin's coming here is to find Yunyao's parents, but now Pei Junlin feels that there is little hope.
After all, in the Great Cloud Forest, it was the realm of the ancient gods, and ordinary human beings could not survive here. If Yunyao's parents could really survive here, it meant that their identities were not simple at all.
According to Pei Junlin's instructions, although An Tie was a little dissatisfied, he still agreed to stay outside. After Pei Junlin looked at the old woman, he walked towards the whirlpool.
"Master, there is something wrong." Just as Pei Junlin was about to approach the whirlpool, Ghost Star Vine suddenly sent an urgent message.
Pei Junlin's face became cloudy and uncertain, and he couldn't help but stop. The old woman stopped when she saw Pei Junlin stop.
Pei Junlin glanced at the old woman with a strange expression, and only murmured in his heart, because the ghost star vine told him clearly just now that the old woman in front of him was not a thousand-year-old tree demon at all, but a real one. Humanity.
Pei Junlin didn't know whether he should believe what the ghost star vine said. After all, the ghost star vine also had a special ability to distinguish between plants and people.
No matter what the old woman was, his deception made Pei Junlin feel uncomfortable. Pei Junlin suddenly understood all the problems. The old woman was likely to have a symbiotic relationship with the big tree before, that is, the relationship between the two was master and servant. The adult tree demon should be the old woman's war pet.
After understanding the cause and effect, Pei Junlin didn't have too many thoughts. He continued to stick to his pace and walked towards the whirlpool.
She let the old woman see Pei Junlin walking towards me, and naturally followed them into the whirlpool. Just standing in the vortex, Pei Junlin felt a huge suction force, and he didn't need to make any movements at all, and his whole body was pulled towards the deep pit like a quagmire.
Pei Junlin only felt the darkness in front of his eyes, and then he smelled a smell of dust. Further down, Pei Junlin suddenly felt that the surroundings were suddenly empty, and he smelled the smell of air.
Feeling his feet hit the ground, Pei Junlin opened his eyes. After Pei Junlin looked at everything around him, he realized that this was an underground palace.
The pictures sent back by the ghost star vines are basically the same, only some details look slightly different.
This is a house decoration, which must make Pei Junlin feel refreshed, because all the walls are decorated with golden scales.
The direction Pei Junlin is facing is directly in front of a long bow hanging on the wall. This bow is shining with silver light, almost illuminating the entire room. It is obvious that this bow is not an ordinary product, it should be a top-quality product artifact.
In addition, there is a huge dragon head decoration on the west wall. The eyes of the dragon's head are made of a strange gemstone, which shimmers with astonishing light. It seems that colorful dazzling lights are continuously generated from it. Looking at Pei Junlin, I feel dazzled.
In addition to the silver longbow hanging on the wall, the value of the dragon head is counted, but Pei Junlin did not plan to make a move. With his current identity and status, something of this value could not arouse his enthusiasm. much interest.
Moreover, Pei Junlin can also see that these two things are placed here for decoration, and the original owner of the underground palace didn't think these two treasures were worth taking out. It's just because these two treasures are very eye-catching, or they look very good-looking.
"It seems that this place was originally a palace, but it seems to have sunk to the ground for various reasons." The old woman, like Pei Junlin, looked around for a while before saying this.
Pei Junlin nodded, and basically agreed with the old woman's statement, except that the vortex before was a little weird, it seemed man-made rather than natural.
The vortex looks like a portal, but it doesn't look like a portal. It looks like quicksand, but it's not at all. In short, it seems that someone has arranged this matter.
Pei Junlin is a little undisciplined, or faintly lacking in interest. This place, which looks like a treasure house to ordinary people, has no value at all in Pei Junlin's view.
When I walked into the second room, Pei Junlin was stunned, because there was a sculpture in the middle of the room, and the sculpture looked exactly like Yunyao.
If it wasn't for this white porcelain sculpture, Pei Junlin would have thought that he had seen Yunyao herself, and she was so similar to Yunyao, that after one point, even every strand of hair would be Yunyao's true self.
Lao Yu obviously also felt Pei Junlin's mood swings, but he didn't say anything that Pei Junlin looked at the sculpture for a long time before he was sure that it was neither a dream nor a fantasy, but a real sculpture here.
It's hard to explain, since Yunyao has never been with his parents since he was a child, why did his parents know what Yunyao looks like now, and made a sculpture here?
With confusion in his heart, Pei Junlin walked around the statue, only to find that the disconnected hand was holding a strange object. Pei Junlin reached out to touch it, only to find that it was a piece of mutton fat jade.
This time Pei Junlin was really shocked, because the suet jade pendant was exactly the same as the one in his hand, the two suet jade pendants seemed to be carved out of the same mold.
Pei Junlin took out the mutton fat jade pendant in his hand, and after comparing the two, he found some problems in the details. It turned out that there was a small Yao character engraved on the mutton fat jade pendant in Pei Junlin's hand.
And the word dream was engraved on the back of this jade, which made Pei Junlin feel more guesswork. It was easy for Pei Junlin to think that this statue was actually not Yunyao, but Yunyao's twin sister. After all, the mutton jade in the statue's hand was clearly written on it.
Could it be that Yunyao still has a younger sister or an older sister named Yunmeng?
Pei Junlin forcibly suppressed the guess in his heart, and took this piece of mutton fat jade into his palm. Now that the two pieces of suet jade are in Pei Junlin's hands, Pei Junlin's mind is full of chaotic thoughts.
Behind this room is a small path, and if you continue to look forward along the path, you will find a passage with no end in sight. Pei Junlin didn't know what the other part of the passage was, nor did he know who set up the passage here.
But he knew that there must be something about Yunyao in this Dayun Forest, and it is likely that Yunyao's parents are also here or have left some traces here before.
"This should not be a treasure house of the underground palace, and there won't be any good things in it. Why don't we go out together." The old woman obviously lacked interest in all of this.
Pei Junlin shook his head, he took the lead and walked towards the passage, and continued walking along the narrow path. It's not easy to find some clues. Naturally, Pei Junlin won't just lose them easily. He wants to walk along this road to see if he can find other important clues.
The old woman was a little helpless, sighed, and could only follow behind Pei Junlin.
Walking along the passage, Pei Junlin discovered that the passage was going down obliquely, which means that if you continue to go down, you will go deep underground.
Soon Pei Junlin found a gate, which was entirely made of stones, and looked extremely mighty, just like an ancient city gate, with two characters written on the crossbar of the gate.
It's a pity that because of the age, I have some vicissitudes, and Pei Junlin can no longer recognize it.
But after the old woman stared at the stone gate for a while, two words suddenly popped out of her mouth. The two words the old woman said were the words Lanyue.
