Ghosts come to the door: entangle the little lady

Chapter 124 The Secret of the Giant Tree

I don't know if it's the vibration from the ground, or the air flow in the cave is too fast, the tree roots that are like cobwebs in the cliff wall on the top of the cave are constantly shaking.With every tremor, a stone would fall from the top of the cave, smashing through the seemingly solid surface of the swamp, and a flame would burst through the air and land on the cliff, only to be swallowed up by the tree roots after a while.

This is a very simple and complete process, and it is a bit heart-stirring, because to some extent, it is the giant tree hunting and obtaining nutrients.

Gu Wanqing and Leng Po stood not far from the swamp, they didn't make any movements, appearing very cautious.

After digesting the shock brought by the roots of the giant tree, the two of them focused their attention deeper. They noticed that there were some scarlet fruits about the size of a fist in the roots of the giant tree. Those fruits were the same as the roots of the giant tree. It should be something very precious not to be afraid of the extreme heat brought by the magma.

Then they both heard some kind of howling faintly in the deepest part of the swamp, and then a similar sound came from the cliff on the top of the cave and the surrounding walls covered with black stones. Echo is also like a specific sound made by a specific thing in a specific environment.

The entire underground cave is extremely hot, whether it is the roots of the giant tree and the vermilion fruits in the cliff, or the black cliff, although there is no flame, but it is conceivable that if things like paper or leaves fall, It will definitely be burned to light smoke in the shortest time.

Not to mention the source of these high temperatures - the swamp formed by magma.

The so-called lonely sun does not grow, logically speaking, such a completely hot and high-temperature environment cannot be preserved for a long time, and it will collapse on its own soon.

But this giant tree has existed in Xixi Wetland for countless years.

Gu Wanqing's eyes fell on the black stone wall, gradually going deeper, although she couldn't see it with her own eyes, she could feel the existence of something.

That kind of thing is small in size, but it is extremely wide and densely distributed in the underground cave, like some kind of debris, and the temperature is extremely low, exuding an unimaginable chill.

The whistling sound she heard faintly before was the sound produced when these extremely cold debris fought against the blazing heat emanating from the magma swamp.

What is so cold that it can resist the heat of this magma?

Gu Wanqing felt that the coldness was very familiar, she closed her eyes gently, and began to meditate on memories, after a long time, when she opened her eyes again, she had the answer in her heart.

The bed of ice in the barrow smells like the chill from the debris here.

Thinking of this, a new question arose in Gu Wanqing's mind. I really don't know what is the relationship between the ice bed and the giant tree here?

I am afraid that it is the chill emanating from those debris that can make this giant tree survive like this. I don't know who did it.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Wanqing and Leng Po finished their observation.

Although Leng Po also felt that it was not easy here, after all, his cultivation level was not as good as Gu Wanqing's, so he didn't notice the crumbly chill, but seeing Gu Wanqing's clear face, he couldn't help asking curiously: "You seem to know the secret here?"

He called Gu Wanqing "you", which was obviously a respectful title. Gu Wanqing was younger than him, so his seniority was not considered. At this time, he called Gu Wanqing "you" coldly, which represented a special meaning.

For example, he recognized Gu Wanqing's identity as the eldest lady of the Gu family, not just in name, but in strength, so-called worthy of the name, presumably after she leaves, her status will be accepted by all the big families.

Gu Wanqing heard that Leng Po called her "you", which was a bit weird, and she was more flattered. She didn't know what Leng Po meant, but she felt that Leng Po respected her very much, not like before at the foot of the mountain. , it's just respect for her identity, and it's for her at this time, not for the Gu family behind her.

Gu Wanqing tilted her head, looked at Leng Po, and after a few quick brain spins, she figured out the change in Leng Po's attitude towards her. Although she was always polite, it was at this moment that she truly recognized her. He smiled lightly and said, "Just now I was shocked and curious about how this giant tree could survive in such a special way. Now, I have a rough guess."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Leng Po laughed, pretending to be listening attentively, with a very humble attitude.

"For your good attitude, can I give you a discount?" Gu Wanqing smiled.

"I have to pay for it?" Leng Po asked funny, but he was a little surprised why this Miss Gu family was so greedy for money. I only heard that she loves to eat, and she can eat it, but I have never heard of her. Greedy traits.

"Let me ask you, is there any secret here recorded in the ancient books that your Leng family got from that zombie?" Gu Wanqing asked.

Leng Po shook his head honestly. As the great disciple of the Great Elder, he was qualified to enter the Leng family's Book Collection Pavilion. When he saw this ancient book, there was indeed no secret recorded here.

"That's it. Since there is no record in that ancient book, does it mean that I am the only one who knows this secret?" Gu Wanqing asked quite proudly.

Leng Po nodded, agreeing.

Seeing him nodding, Gu Wanqing immediately had a pair of dimples on her already pretty and cute face, and looked at Leng Po with a smile. If Gu Yucheng saw Gu Wanqing showing this little expression here, she would hold her forehead, Someone is about to bleed.

"Since you agree, then do you have to pay something if you want me to tell you a secret that only I know? I don't want your baby, I just need some silver~" Gu Wanqing smiled, a pair of beautiful The eyes are very bright at this time, in other words, they are extremely bright, as if they only show such light when they see the mountains of gold, silver and jewels.

Leng Po felt that what Gu Wanqing said was very reasonable, so he nodded again, but said very seriously: "Then I'd better not ask."

"Why?" Gu Wanqing was stunned and asked.

Shouldn't everyone have curiosity, driven by curiosity, can't help it?Why can cold break be able to hold back curiosity?

Leng Po looked at Gu Wanqing's surprised expression, and said slowly: "Because you already owed you a sum of money because you gave me your spiritual power before, and that is all my belongings. I am penniless now."

"Eh? So poor?" Gu Wanqing was even more astonished now. How could the first disciple of the dignified elder be so poor?

However, it seemed that he was asked to give it to him before, and he didn't say the specific amount. This guy looks so clean and honest, so he won't really give her all his belongings, right?
She couldn't help asking curiously: "How much property do you have?"

"Not much, a thatched cottage." Leng Po said lightly.

Now, Gu Wanqing's heart really has tens of thousands of horses galloping past. She thought that she must have a hundred taels of silver, but she never thought that the disciple of the great elder of the Leng family would be so poor!
But thinking that before she was the young lady of the Gu family, she seemed to be quite poor, she didn't even have a thatched hut, she curled her lips and said, "Forget it, you are so poor, I won't rob you..."

Isn't she collecting so much money to help those poor people? Leng Po is so poor, and taking his thatched hut by herself and letting him live on the street doesn't seem to be her original intention.

Leng Po was probing. In fact, there were some magical treasures in his thatched hut, but they were used by him to deal with zombies.

Seeing that Gu Wanqing was not chasing after those greedy people, she couldn't help being curious, but she didn't ask.

"Then thank you Miss Gu for your understanding." Leng Po cupped his hands and said.

Gu Wanqing waved her hand, and said slowly: "I strayed into the ancient tomb before, and found the bed of ice inside by mistake. It just so happened that I felt an extremely cold breath here, just like the smell of the bed of ice. It's exactly the same..."

"Ancient tomb? Ice bed?" Leng Po looked at Gu Wanqing in surprise.

The ancient tomb is a very famous place, but that place is not unfamiliar to those martial arts practitioners, but it is also not unfamiliar to their ghost magicians, but they are not so familiar, they have heard of it, but they have not gone there However, the ice bed inside is the reason why those martial arts people flock to the ancient tomb. It seems to have a special curative effect on those who practice martial arts, just like Tianchi Mountain has on them.

Leng Po naturally knew about the ancient tomb, and he had heard of the ice bed, but he had never been there. Hearing Gu Wanqing's mention at this time, he was very curious. The ice bed gets involved.

"Well, if you don't believe me, you can go to the ancient tomb to investigate when you get out of the Xixi Wetland." Seeing Leng Po's doubts, Gu Wanqing thought he doubted her own feelings, and was immediately a little unhappy.

"No, I have never been to an ancient tomb, nor have I seen a bed of ice, so I wonder how the giant trees here are related to the bed of ice in that ancient tomb." Leng Po explained.

"I'm curious too~" Gu Wanqing said.

"Is this the secret you mentioned?" Leng Po asked.

"Well, what else would there be? Don't you wonder why this giant tree can survive in such a special way?" Gu Wanqing asked back.

"Is it because there is something similar to the breath of the ice bed?" Leng Po asked again.

"Well, what else? The harmony of yin and yang, isn't the emphasis on both sides of yin and yang, there can be no extremes, you should understand better than me." Gu Wanqing said calmly.

Warlocks, in a sense, are of the same origin as Taoists, but they gradually differentiated later, but they are essentially independent of each other. Taoists pay the most attention to the harmony of yin and yang, and the harmony of all things, so they differentiated into warlocks, who specialize in capturing Ghosts and demons are also for the harmony of yin and yang in all things, so that they can last for thousands of years.

Leng Po had to admit that what Gu Wanqing said was very reasonable, and he was speechless to refute.
