436 Chapter 436 Topaz Lingshi Cave ([-])

Zhang Qiling slightly lowered his head and looked at the girl held in front of him. The girl was tilting her head and turning to look at him. Zhang Qiling understood that the old man was asking about his feelings for the girl, and his answer was right on his lips, before he could wait for it. In reply, the old man waved his hand towards the girl. The girl suddenly became motionless and her eyes stopped blinking. She seemed to be stabilized by the old man. Zhang Qiling immediately held her shoulders, looking slightly nervous.

The old man walked over, looked at the little girl carefully and said to Zhang Qiling: "It's okay. I haven't seen her for a long time. I'll take a closer look at her. How is she? Do you have an answer to the question just now?"

Zhang Qiling said slowly: "It's not the time yet."

The old man said "Oh" in a questioning tone and asked him: "Because of that incident?"

Zhang Qiling immediately replied: "It has nothing to do with that."

The old man could see that the young man in front of him was very concerned about his little girl, but he seemed to have a lot of worries. He was obviously worried about something, so he deliberately asked with a serious expression: "Then... tell me, what do you think?" When will it be “time”?”

Zhang Qiling replied seriously: "I will take care of my affairs. I know she is waiting for me, and I also look forward to her growing up." Unconsciously, he caressed the girl's little face lovingly.

The old man smiled and said: "Time, space and race are different, you have to wait for a long time."

Zhang Qiling's eyes were firm and powerful, and his tone was extremely sincere as he said to him: "So what."

The old man stroked his beard and looked at him. He paused for a moment and his expression softened a lot. He seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Qiling's answer. He smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about, your memory, right?"

Zhang Qiling looked at the old man. He understood that the ancestor must have already understood everything and could hide nothing from him, so he still replied firmly: "I will find a way."

The old man nodded and said: "The belief in my heart is firm enough, and that problem just adds some trouble to everything, doesn't it?"

The old man looked at the offerings around him and seemed to be in a good mood and said "Oh!" "Although the preparations have been hasty, you are really attentive. Since all the ancestors have worshiped together today, it can be regarded as meeting the parents." Accepted.

You are interested in the girl, and the girl is interested in you. It can be considered that they are in love with each other. It depends on you whether you can take it further in the future.

As the oldest person in the family, I will give you a good thing. "

Zhang Qiling looked at the old man puzzled.

The old man reached out and turned over, and a red book with a unicorn pattern on it appeared in his hand. He said to him: "Take a look." He handed it to him.

Zhang Qiling was also curious about what the ancestor of the Yatou family would give him. He took it, opened the red book and read the words inside, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly.

The old man said: "I don’t know when you will come back next time and how far it will develop. Use this to encourage yourself. Can you write your name on it? You guys have to work hard.

Let me give you another meeting gift. If you have any wishes, just tell me. "

Zhang Qiling replied with six words: "Remember her in my heart."

The old man seemed very happy after hearing this, and his expression could not suppress the joy. He nodded and said: "Okay, I have good intentions. I hope you get your wish." Then with a wave of two fingers, a beam of golden light hit the ring on the ring finger of Zhang Qiling's left hand. On the position of the girl, the rabbit head ring suddenly flashed, and the old man turned back and released the girl's immobilization. He said with a smile: "Go, children, do what you want to do." After saying that, it turned into a wisp of golden light. The smoke flew back into the niche.

The girl looked at Zhang Qiling in confusion, took his hand and said, "Why did he leave? What did you just say? Why did it end without me hearing anything? Did he let us pass?" She noticed that Zhang Qiling was wearing The ring was shining brightly, and he held a small red book in his hand and asked him: "What is that?"

Zhang Qiling put the notebook in his arms and put it away. He held the girl's face with both hands, squeezed it a few times and said, "Let's go."

The little girl frowned, feeling as if she had missed something. She scratched her head and muttered: "Did I break the fragment?" But the old man had already gone back, so she could only give the old man in the niche a depressed look, and then said habitually She took out a locator and placed it in front of the incense burner. She noticed that some incense ash fell on the table, and the wax oil melted more than before. Time was passing, but what happened stopped. She knew it must be It was the old man's fault. There was definitely something going on between the two of them, and they actually had a secret. But she knew Zhang Qiling, so she probably couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Qiling turned around and shouted, "Girl."

The girl still looked unconvinced, made a strange face at the old man in the niche, and chased after him.

We walked all the way to the backyard. There were many flowers, plants and trees in the backyard, but they were all carefully carved from various kinds of spiritual stones. They were eye-catching and magnificent.

The statue of Qilin was in a small temple-like room in the middle of the backyard. We checked around it and the incense burners, candlesticks and lamps on the altar table. We didn't find anything that looked like a trap. I said, "Confirm." I didn’t find any mechanism, it seems like the old man said “move away”, just move it.”

So we walked behind the statue, and my brother asked me to step aside. He held the statue with both arms and started pushing hard.

After pushing a few times, the statue moved a little. As I continued to push it, my brother's face turned red. The statue was still very heavy.

After removing the statue, there was a stone slab underneath. There was a groove on the slab. My brother knocked on the center of the slab. The sound from the bricks clearly told us that it was empty underneath. He reached out to me and said I said: "Dagger." I immediately took out one for him and handed it to his hand.

He squatted down and scratched the seam of the stone slab with his dagger. Then, while prying the edge of the stone slab, he grabbed the groove with his hand and lifted up the stone slab.It was very dark down there. I shined a light and saw the stone steps, but the stone steps were very special. They were arranged neatly and staggered in the shape of fish scales.

My brother was walking in front. The stone steps were arranged in a way that was very convenient for walking. One left and one right went down bit by bit.

After walking for a short distance, the stone steps became wider little by little, and the number of rows of scaly bricks became more and more according to the width. The scaly bricks were also larger, and the lines on them were clear and even.

The further the road goes, the farther away it is from the small temple above, and it changes from a short straight road to a circular shape, with a deep pit with no bottom visible in the center.

Suddenly, a sound startled us and we stopped. At this time, we were in a situation where we were neither up nor down. The sound was like a giant breathing. I said, "Brother, you heard it, it seems like there is a living thing." .”

Zhang Qiling felt the movement around him without moving at all, and the sound became clearer and clearer. When he listened carefully, the sound had some changes, and he felt like there was the sound of falling and rolling gravel.

Zhang Qiling knelt down and touched the scaly stone bricks under his feet with the long fingers of his right hand. Suddenly his face changed drastically and he said: "Hold on to me and run."

I saw him standing up while talking, and he grabbed me and ran down. After running a few steps, I found that the distance and height between the bricks under my feet seemed to have changed a little, and the road surface became more and more inclined. smooth.

Not long after running, the ground beneath my feet began to undulate, rising and falling. I said in horror, "Why is the ground still moving?"

The ground waves generally rise and fall, the frequency becomes more frequent, and each bend becomes shorter and shorter. It feels like the road is crawling like a snake.

Just as he was thinking about it, this snake-like road swung sideways towards the deep pit. Zhang Qiling shouted: "Lower your body."

The road began to swing sideways, and I was almost lying on the ground. The steps that were originally ridged like scales were now closed and turned into an almost smooth surface, with no point of strength at all.

Zhang Qiling said: "Go down directly." He pulled me up and jumped into the dark pit. He held me tightly and said to me: "Don't be afraid."

But I was still scared to death, but I was still very clear-headed and knew not to fall. I quickly used my ability to transform into a huge cloud to catch us.

The moment I landed on the soft clouds, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest and my body was already stiff. My brother pulled me and sat up.

We looked at the road dancing around us. This thing was not a road at all. It was simply a creature covered with long scales. It was so huge that it would take several people to surround it.

That thing has been spiraling around like a snake, stuck between the rock walls like a spiral ladder. The parts that can be distinguished at this moment are the scales of the fish, the snake-like body, and the middle part of the back that is twisting and swinging. mane.

My brother asked me to illuminate the bottom, and we also saw the large eagle-like talons that had begun to grasp. This was obviously a powerful dragon.

But this one is green. As far as I know, there is only one green dragon in Qilin City, which is Brother Pico, who plays with computers and makes technological inventions. The light yellow dragon we are looking for is squatting at the bottom of the cave.

Zhang Qiling said: "Just rush down and leave the rest alone."

I picked up a corner of the cloud and pulled out a handlebar shape to control the direction. Zhang Qiling stabilized his body and held the long knife. I stabilized the handle and leaned forward slightly, telling him: "Let's go."

The cloud began to tilt downward slowly, which allowed the brother to maintain balance on the cloud. The scales of the green dragon around him spread out again. It was different from before. This time, each of his scales stood on his body like a sharp thorn. Suddenly he began to spin in a fast spiral. The angle between the scales and the body seemed to have hidden stones in advance, and now they shot out like bullets as he spun.

My brother used a long knife to chop left and right to resist the stones. I threw out a whip to help resist, but it was inevitable that I would still be hit by scattered stones flying by.

The further you fly down, the clearer you can see that there is not only a dragon below, but also a pattern in the center where the dragon is entrenched, like the arrangement of the nine stars of the Big Dipper. There is a spiritual stone platform at the position of each star. The stone platforms are respectively There is a spiritual stone bed with the same attribute. The layout here is exactly the same as the maps of several villages outside. There is a distinctive square platform where the light yellow dragon head is located. It is exactly the location of the garden where I live, but that The platform was indeed empty.

We continued to go down, passing by the big claws of the Qinglong. It was clawing at the clouds coming towards us. My brother slashed at him with his knife and hit his nails. He seemed to want to tear our clouds apart. My brother's golden knife struck The swing hit him on the leg, and he roared in pain. His body also shook. He suddenly raised his head and roared towards us. A strong wind rushed over, and some clouds tilted and deviated. I had reached the route, and I held the direction handle tightly, pressing it with my body, but it couldn't withstand the force of his breath.

If this continues, the clouds will overturn and even roll in the air. Seeing this, Zhang Qiling rushes over and uses his own body to help the girl control her balance.

Qinglong exhaled this long breath, and the two of us tried our best not to let the clouds turn over. Zhang Qiling said: "Girl, let's go down together."

I understood that my brother meant to rush down to avoid the Qinglong Mouth, so the two of them pushed the cloud down together, swooped away, and avoided the Dragon's Mouth not far from the ground. The two of them relaxed and raised their bodies. , let the clouds regain their balance. At this moment, we just rushed to the empty platform in front of the light yellow dragon's head.

Zhang Qiling hugged the girl, turned over, jumped off the clouds, and landed steadily on the platform. The clouds floated above our heads like protective umbrellas, blocking the falling stones.

I applied my spiritual power to the whip, and the whip instantly turned into a small dragon and rushed towards the green dragon. After a while, the two dragons were entangled together.
