145,145 Spirit Butterfly in Cocoon(1/2)
After successfully catching the big fish, Lu Yuelan and Fang Jingxiao were left to deal with the dock matters. Everyone in Kaifeng divided their forces into two groups. The Demon King took the soy sauce team and Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang to go to Shuiyue Palace to find Shen Lingyue first, and Zhao Zhen and Zhao Pu rushed to the stadium. The preliminaries started today. In the afternoon, there was the first game between the beautiful scenery and the Chengfeng team.
At Shuiyue Palace, after the fishing boat returned, someone reported to Shen Lingyue that a fish monster had been caught. It was a giant catfish wearing a mask.
"Wearing a mask?" Shen Lingyue frowned and sat in a chair in a daze, seeming to be thinking about something.
At this time, another disciple came to report that a guest had arrived.
Shen Lingyue was not interested and asked, "Who is it?"
"Zhan Zhao Bai Yu Tang."
Shen Lingyue made a "tsk" sound, seeming a little disgusted, and listened to the disciple continue, "There is also Tianzun Yin Houhe..."
Before the disciple finished speaking, he saw a figure flash in front of him. Shen Lingyue had disappeared, so he left a sentence, "Please go to the main hall for tea!"
…
The Demon King and the others waited at the door for a short while before a disciple came to invite everyone to go up the mountain to the main hall.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have been here before and are familiar with the roads. Silver Demon King and Tianzun Yin Hou couldn't help but look down while walking... The construction of Shuiyue Palace is very unique. Yin Hou has seen Lingdie Palace after going down the water. Both Hou and Tianzun feel that the structures of the two are basically the same. Does that mean that the Water Moon Palace can also sink?
No one was in the main hall of the magnificent Shuiyue Palace. The maid brought tea and greeted everyone, saying that the palace master would be coming soon and asked them to wait.
As soon as Yin Hou sat down, he saw Tianzun sitting next to him and staring at him.
After watching for a while, Tianzun reached out and pulled Yin Hou's collar to both sides.
Yin Hou slapped his hand away.
Zhan Zhao sat next to his grandfather and asked him, "Grandpa, are you familiar with Shen Lingyue?"
"I've seen him once or twice," Yin Hou replied casually.
On the side, Tianzun rubbed his hands and reached out to tidy up Yin Hou's hair. Yin Hou turned his head and glared at Tianzun.
Tianzun still wanted to stretch out his hand, but Bai Yutang beside him couldn't stand it anymore and took a cup of tea to his master.
At this time, the sound of rings was heard behind the curtains. Before Shen Lingyue came in, everyone smelled a fragrant aroma.
Tianzun held the cup in one hand and patted Yin Hou on the shoulder with the other - Old ghost, old ghost! Put on a more handsome pose!
Yin Hou was speechless.
Zhan Zhao glanced at his grandfather, silently stretched out his hand to close Yin Hou's collar, and brushed his hair.
Tianzun saw this and stretched out his hand to straighten Yin Hou's hair that was messed up by Zhan Zhaohu.
Zhan Zhao reached out to make a mess again.
Finally, Yin Hou shook his head and glared at the two of them - Are you looking for a beating?
Fifth Master shook his head and drank tea, deciding not to care.
At this time, the curtain at the back of the hall was raised, and Shen Lingyue walked out.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked up, and the two heroes made an assessment. Shen Lingyue was dressed very gorgeously at the last celebration, but for celebrations, dressing up is normal.
Unexpectedly, today was even more gorgeous. It was obvious that the Master of Shuiyue Palace had dressed up carefully.
Moreover, when they met before, both Zhan and Bai found that Shen Lingyue had a domineering air that was not easy to mess with. Today, I don't know if it was an illusion, but they suddenly felt gentler.
Shen Lingyue came out and greeted the Demon King first. The Demon King happily returned her gift and said a few polite words.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the old man's smile that was inexplicably familiar. After thinking about it, it seemed that when the fourth son introduced his friend to Gongsun, he had the same smile on his face.
After Shen Lingyue was polite to the Demon King, she came over here to greet Tianzun warmly.
Shen Lingyue told Yin Hou, "Palace Master, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Yin Hou nodded.
Shen Lingyue's face was a little red, while she was chatting with Tian Zun about something.
Fifth Master and Zhan Zhao looked at Shen Lingyue secretly looking at Yin Hou, as if she didn't dare to talk to him, and felt that this old man was a bit cute.
Zhan Zhao looked at his grandfather again - it turned out to be true! Such charm!
The Demon King nodded happily - Jiangjiang is indeed popular.
The Fifth Master looked at his master who was like an immortal with some puzzlement - there was no reason... So far, he had never encountered a peach blossom. Is it true that only the young disciples of the Tianshan Sect have a normal aesthetic?!
…
Shen Lingyue seemed to be in a good mood and asked everyone why they came.
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang watched the Demon King.
The Demon King put down his tea cup and said that he wanted to ask Shen Lingyue something this time. As he said that, he handed her the IOU.
Shen Lingyue took the IOU and glanced at it, frowning slightly, "When I heard about Ghost Faced Fish yesterday, I also guessed that it might be related to this matter."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought there was a way, and Shen Lingyue seemed to know about the book and the mask.
"That scroll was indeed borrowed by my mother and senior Bai Yueyun, in order to repair the mechanism of Lingdie Palace."
Shen Lingyue's words were shocking, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - repair the mechanism?
"Actually, Shuiyue Palace was built later than Lingdie Palace. It just looks similar. Shuiyue Palace doesn't have the mechanism of Lingdie Palace." Shen Lingyue said, "Lingdie Palace was built by the ancestors of the Spirit Clan and used some techniques that have been lost. The purpose of this method is to preserve the treasures left by the Holy Spirit King. The originally complete Lingdie Palace has a complete set of mechanisms for lowering the water. In other words, in the event of an accident, this set of mechanisms can be used to sink the entire Lingdie Palace. Underwater. After the crisis is resolved, open the mechanism and raise the Spirit Butterfly Palace."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Shen Lingyue - since there is a mechanism that can raise the palace, why haven't you raised it after so many years?
Shen Lingyue sighed, "But the mechanism is broken."
"broken?"
Shen Lingyue said helplessly, "It broke down a long time ago. The rooms in Lingdie Palace are like a maze. When the mechanism is turned on, the basement where the treasure is hidden will sink directly into the foundation of the lake and be sealed. But The rooms above are only in the lake. Some rooms in the Lingdie Palace are flooded and some are not. As long as you know where the trap is, you can successfully escape."
The fifth master listened all the way and seemed to have grasped the key point, "Can the mechanism only be opened inside?"
Shen Lingyue shook her head, "There are sinking and rising mechanisms inside, and there is only one rising mechanism outside, but the internal rising mechanism is broken.
"In other words, once the internal mechanism is opened, it cannot be disarmed. The mechanism must be disarmed from the outside?"
Shen Lingyue nodded, "Yes, and after many years, the walls of Lingdie Palace have been cracked and damaged. Although the design of the mechanism is very good, the stone and raw materials used in the construction obviously cannot match this kind of mechanism. So my mother has always wanted to give it to me. The purpose of adding an external mechanism to the Lingdie Palace was mainly to support the outer wall of the Lingdie Palace to prevent the Palace from collapsing. Bai Yueyun studied the mechanisms of the Lingdie Palace in detail at that time, gave a plan, and built the outer wall. I also asked my mother to choose a guard herself."
After Shen Lingyue finished speaking, she stood up and motioned for everyone to follow her.
Everyone followed Shen Lingyue out of the main hall, went to the side hall at the back, and entered a room.
This room looked like a study. Shen Lingyue reached out to pick up a painting on the wall, but the Demon King suddenly stopped her, "Wait a minute."
Shen Lingyue was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the Demon King.
The demon king waved to her, signaling her to come back.
Shen Lingyue was a little confused, but she still took a few steps back obediently.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao also looked at each other.
The Demon King stared at the painting for a while, then raised his finger and said to the Heavenly Lord next to him, "Xiao You."
As soon as the Silver Demon King finished speaking, Tianzun raised his hand...
Following Tianzun's movement, a layer of frost appeared on the wall, and even the painting was frozen.
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun and were puzzled - why should he be frozen?
Tianzun shrugged - how did he know that the demon king would just let him freeze.
Shen Lingyue also looked at the Demon King, who nodded to her.
Shen Lingyue walked over, reached out and took off the painting...and then suddenly shook her hand and threw the painting away, as if she was shocked.
Zhan Zhao had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that there were two frozen spiders on the back of the painting.
These two spiders look quite familiar.
"Is it because Shen Bin was killed because of the spider poison?" Fifth Master asked.
Zhan Zhao nodded, wasn't that a love murder case last time? Why did the spider appear again?
When everyone looked again, it turned out that there was a hidden grid behind the painting.
Shen Lingyue was more careful this time and carefully made sure there were no poisonous spiders nearby, so she opened the secret compartment and found a turntable inside.
After turning the turntable a few times in a certain direction, a series of sounds came from the dark room, and the entire wall moved outward. Shen Lingyue opened the door, and there was a dark room behind the door.
Zhan Zhao glanced at the Fifth Master - Why is there a darkroom anywhere?
Fifth Master also agrees - the older generation likes to dig secret rooms in their spare time.
At the same time, the two went to see the Silver Demon King - how did the old man know that someone was trying to harm Shen Lingyue?
The Demon King spread his hands and said, "I guess."
Everyone followed Shen Lingyue into the darkroom.
This darkroom is not big, and there are not many things in it. There is only a stone table, and on the table, there is a small palace.
Tianzun and Yin Hou recognized it at a glance. It was a small model of the Spirit Butterfly Palace.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also saw the small copper ball on the roof of Lingdie Palace...
"This is the model that Bai Yueyun showed to my mother back then." Shen Lingyue asked, "I heard that you went into the water once. Did you take away the beads on the top of the palace?"
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun.
Tianzun felt in his pocket, took out the bead, and handed it to Shen Lingyue.
Shen Lingyue waved her hand but did not take it, "This bead is the mechanism outside the palace. Through the bead, you can raise the Spirit Butterfly Palace, but you need a key. If you operate it incorrectly, you can take the bead away like you did. Then the exterior wall mechanism designed by Bai Yueyun outside Lingdie Palace will be activated."
