Heart Survey

Chapter 2299: Eyes and Ears
Jiang Wang is now like a fish on the shore that has slowly stopped jumping around and is about to die of thirst.

Even if there is poison in front of you, you have to drink it to quench your thirst.

Then drink this cup.

Death from poisoning is a matter for the future, death from thirst is a matter for the present.

At the end of Ganquan Lane is a fork in the road.

On the left is the prosperous Jiuquan Avenue with tall buildings. On the right are some small winemaking workshops, low-rise houses, and people who live seriously.

In front of it is a wall, enclosing this dirty Ganquan Lane and the ignorant homeless people. A few simple bricks are the most convenient decoration for the city's appearance.

Gu Shiyi went to the left, Yan Sheng went to the right, and Jiang Wanggu went forward and passed through the wall.

The homeless people in Ganquan Lane could not hear their conversation from beginning to end. Only when they saw a man passing through the wall did they raise their eyes slightly, but they thought it was a drunken dream.

What's the big deal about walking through a wall? There are many magical things in the drunken world!
The wall-walking technique in some strange stories is just a basic method for extraordinary cultivators. But Jiang Wang has never learned it. It's just that at his current level, whether it's starting with Yuanli or directly moving space, it's effortless.

His three statues were kept in the courtyard given by Brother Yan Xian, where he studied the classics of the Sealing Technique - Brother Yan Xian said that he had no valuable possessions, so he bought houses and properties, and gave worldly things to friends.

Master Jiang walked in the downtown in his original form, flipping through the notes given by Mr. Yan while casually feeling the world.

The pressure of heaven's laws is everywhere, like water flooding over your head from all directions.

He felt that he was walking on a road of no return, getting closer and closer to "people" and further and further away from "people".

He was well aware of what he had left behind along the way.

I really want to keep those feelings!

……

A giant turtle is swimming in the sky and it is raining in the "Sea of ​​Devil Fish".

The "ghost fish" is a giant fish with a violent temperament, bloodthirsty and gluttonous. It is said to be the resentful souls who died in the sea. It is invulnerable to swords and guns and comes and goes without a trace. For a long time, it was the most feared marine disaster by the sea dwellers and was also called the "sea ghost".

When Chen Du Zhenjun was young, he mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources, and through the sixteen-character strategy of "cursor-fixed points, burying stakes and removing formations, horizontal chain nets, and lingering fish swallowing poison", he cleared out the sea area of ​​the ghost-faced fish. As a result, he became famous in the nearby seas and won the hearts of the people.

Today, the ghost fish is almost extinct, but the name of this sea area has been preserved.

Perhaps because of the excessive killing, it has always been deserted. Although it is close to the coastal area of ​​the maze, there has never been much defense pressure.

Wang Kun's master is Meng Yu, the immortal from Penglai Island, who is still stationed in Cangwu. Penglai Island has always been isolated overseas. Although its real location is not known to the world, it often exerts influence on the sea.

Jing State’s layout at sea is usually carried out with the support of Penglai Island.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Wang Kun, an unlucky guy who should have been banished to the cold palace for eight hundred years, was able to once again get the opportunity to prove himself in Jing State, which is full of talented people.

He had not spent much time in the offshore islands, but he had done his homework so that he would not be completely ignorant.

Seeing that Li Longchuan led the route to this remote sea area, he asked directly: "Did General Li lead the ship in the wrong direction?"

"Yes, it's here." Li Longchuan said.

Wang Kun smiled wryly: "I remember this is not the Diaohailou defense area."

"It should be now." said Li Longchuan.

"should?"

"If you don't believe me, go ask your friends at Diaohailou." Li Longchuan looked at him: "Or... you don't agree?"

"Can I disagree?" Wang Kun asked.

Li Longchuan sneered: "This is the decision of the Zhenhai League, which represents the will of hundreds of millions of sea dwellers in the entire offshore archipelago. I'm afraid it is not up to Jingguo, let alone you."

Wang Kun looked at him: "I am very respectful to Brother Li, but Brother Li keeps trying to irritate me!"

"Anger you? What's the reason for that?" Li Longchuan said in surprise, "Adjustments to maritime defense need to take your feelings into consideration - is that what you mean?"

Seeing him acting so pretentiously, Wang Kun could hardly suppress his anger: "General Li's temporary change of the Diaohailou defense zone to target us is not a friendly act, right?"

"Temporarily change the defense zone? How can I have such power!" Li Longchuan laughed several times, then he calmed down and said, "Maybe it's because your Jingguo warriors are too elite, and you, Wang Kun, are too outstanding. The Zhenhai League leaders think that they can entrust you with more difficult tasks. The Ghost Face Fish Sea has always been a dangerous place, and it takes an ordinary person to be in charge!"

Wang Kun grinned: "It seems that Qi State really regards the sea as its private property and does not tolerate anyone. It has only been a few years, and there is no other sound on the sea? The death of Master Shendu was so worthless, and the dragon fisherman should be resentful!"

Li Longchuan didn't say much to him, but just said: "If the Jing army doesn't want to help anymore, they can turn back. I am willing to make things easier for you. But if you break your promise once, it won't be so easy to come next time... I think you can understand!"

"Go back?" Wang Kun raised his head: "Why should we go back? Central Jing is the supreme country and has been responsible for the world for four thousand years. Since the high-ranking officials of Zhenhai League trust our Jing country soldiers so much, this 'Ghost Face Fish Sea' will be handed over to us!"

Those angry emotions were like a mask that had been taken off. Under the mask, he looked calm and solid. He just waved his arm and said, "Pass the order down, set up camp here and join forces to defend. Let the brothers on the sea see how Central Dajing does things!"

The Dou'e warriors, known as "the best army in the world", flew in all directions in an instant and spread in the air like a giant open net.

Li Longchuan remained silent for a moment, just watching Jing Jun's actions silently.

At this time, the rain falls on the quiet sea, and the rain seems to be caught in a net.

The giant turtle under his feet was suspended in the air, motionless, and he didn't know when it had closed its heavy eyes.

……

……

When King Qin Guang opened his eyes, dark shadows of the present world flowed in his emerald green pupils.

He looked at it all so differently.

The Wanxian Palace, which was said to be lost in the outer sea forever and never to be seen again, turned out to have been hidden deep in this desolate sea, in the cracks where light and sound patterns intersected.

It must be a special, startling, consistent light, and it must be a chance, instant-disappearing sound.

The light pattern and the sound pattern are both uniquely constructed, and they converge at a special moment to truly summon the portal.

The Yeluo song sung by King Chujiang was certainly not the sound that opened the real ruins of the Wanxian Palace.

However, the music score of Yiluo Song was once collected by Wanxian Palace and was obtained by King Qin Guang from the outer palace. It was contaminated with the aura of Wanxian Palace and has gone through the years along with the ruins of Wanxian Palace.

King Chujiang restored the ancient singing voice, and King Qinguang took advantage of this connection and used the ancient score of Yeluo as a starting point to trace the past of the sound, and found the unique sound pattern that could awaken the ruins of Wanxian Palace, and sketched it.

He had found the beam of light that penetrated the ruins of the Wanxian Palace earlier, but the last few strokes of the light map were a little blurry.

These days, he has been floating on the sea with King Chujiang in a boat, constantly measuring light and sound, and finally getting closer to the "true appearance" step by step.

With the exact light pattern and voice pattern, plus the real key he had obtained earlier from the secret treasure outside the Wanxian Palace - the drop-shaped jade object that was now flashing in front of him, this trinity... finally pushed open the door of this ancient ruins!

What was floating in front of him was naturally not jade, but a real drop of water.

A drop of "Xuanhua Pure Water" appears once every nine thousand six hundred years, and is born only in the vortex of eternal darkness.

Even in the extremely harsh environment of the deep sea, the Eternal Dark Whirlpool is one of the most cruel disasters. The larger the scale, the more dangerous it is.

The Great Prison Lord Zhong Xi became famous by smashing the Eternal Dark Vortex. When Gao Jie was still alive, he also suppressed the Eternal Dark Vortex and did not move an inch for a long time.

It was in such a disaster that Xuanhua Pure Water came into being.

Naturally, ordinary strong people cannot pick it.

But the drop of pure water in front of King Qin Guang is not a treasure in itself, but a container - the drop of water is filled with light.

The light that shone on the Wanxian Palace tens of thousands of years ago.

Looking closely, the light that has experienced years is swimming in the water like a dragon.

If you put your ear close to this water drop, you can hear the sound of the tide in it like a song. So this drop of water also contains the sound of the past era.

Sound and light build dreams, ears and eyes are the doors!

The distant and psychedelic mirage of the fairy palace appeared in the intersection of light and sound, stepped out of the labyrinth of time and space, and surged back to this era.

Everything is desolate and filled with sadness!
Is this... the Wanxian Palace? The echo of an era is so tragic and heart-shaking.

King Chu Jiang opened his mouth but made no sound, fearing that his voice would scare away the traces of history.

King Qin Guang also remained silent.

The sky is full of green light like insects flying, and the endless withering feeling passes through the spring and autumn. He stands alone at the bow, his long robe fluttering, the mask on his waist is blown up by the wind, and the two words "Qin Guang" are like dripping blood.

He stepped directly off the ship, onto the path of light and sound, towards the gate of the immortal palace that no longer existed.

A half-broken watch and a broken wall.

The blood is not fresh, and the cries of grief cannot be heard.

What kind of unexpected events happened back then that caused the Wanxian Palace, which was once so glorious and boasted that "human beings are the immortals among all immortals", to decline to this extent overnight?

The grand scene of the coming of all the immortals still shines in the history books, but the decay of the broken walls and ruins has been swallowed up by time.

In the void, there is a broken bridge, and the flowing green light connects the broken parts.

King Qin Guang was in front, and King Chu Jiang was behind. They walked forward like this, crossing the bridge in the misty colors.

After crossing the bridge, King Chujiang tore it open as if he had torn open a door. Behind the door were densely packed white squirrels, which swarmed out in an instant and hopped towards the ruins of the fairy palace.

These squirrels are very cute, round like snowballs, but they are agile, faster than lightning, and gradually become colorful as they move.

Due to the need to hide its identity, this squirrel is a species that has never appeared in the world. It is an adventure squirrel that she bred herself - it regards disasters as pine nuts, and stores them for eating.

Their tails change color, showing different colors according to the degree of danger. There are seven colors in total, with purple being the most dangerous.

After King Chujiang also got off the bridge, King Qin Guang wiped his hands with his backhand.

The broken bridge connecting the Wanxian Palace with the outside world seemed to have been unable to withstand the test of time. It decayed in an instant and fell like dust.

He was a man who would tear down the bridge after crossing the river and hide in the palace after entering it. Of course, he would not allow others to share the benefits he had found with great effort and at the risk of his life. This move was to erase the traces of the Wanxian Palace so that he would have enough time to slowly explore the interior of the palace.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of the tide -

Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!
The sound was like the roar of a group of beasts, shaking the sky, and getting closer and closer to the ears, as if it were a noise in the ears.

King Chujiang released the last trouble-eating squirrel, and looked back in front of the gate of the fairy palace. He saw a line of sea tide approaching from afar and rising rapidly.

It is as far as a line, close to a dam, but when it reaches in front of you, it is already vast and majestic, a high wall reaching the sky!
On the crest of the tide, stood a young man in armor, holding a long sword. He looked over here, confident and high-spirited, and shouted in a long voice: "I am the general of the Great Qi Empire's Rain-Slaying Army, Tian Chang! All under heaven is the king's land. The shores of the East China Sea are also the king's territory - I already know all the news of the turbulence in the sea. Who are the rats and bandits making a fuss here?!"

A cicada mantis was catching a cicada, and was startled to see a yellow bird.

King Chujiang frowned and raised his eyebrows. She was shocked by the other party's identity. In the East China Sea today, no force can compete with Qi.

This sudden appearance of the general of the Zhan Yu Army undoubtedly represents the most powerful voice in this sea area.

But this man came alone and did not lead the army to surround the enemy. No matter what the reason was, it might mean that there was still room for improvement - maybe the other party did not want Qi Ting to know.

The phrase "the sea is turbulent" was the reason. He said that he came here by feeling the situation and was not prepared in advance - but King Qin Guang would never leave them any news!
Unlike Prince Chujiang, who was far-sighted, familiar with official practices, and who wanted to think through everything, Prince Qinguang was always decisive and often took unconventional approaches.

He doesn't have to think first, he wants to ask you whether you are qualified to ask him to think!
Hearing the noise of this person coming on the tide and speaking nonsense, he said nothing, but turned his head, his green eyes shining, and looked at this person -

Before the gaze even fell, when King Qin Guang turned his head, Tian Chang, who was standing alone at the forefront of the tide, shuddered, feeling a chill that penetrated deep into his bones! He almost subconsciously wanted to pull out the Chao Xin knife that was deeply hidden in his blood.

Compared to the Great Qi military sword he is holding now, the famous sword named Chao Xin has the most powerful power on the sea, which can give him a little sense of security.

But when he thought of Chao Xin, he realized that the fear actually came from Chao Xin himself. This world-famous sword was one step ahead of him, as if it had foreseen the fate of destruction!

At first glance, King Qin Guang saw that it was a catastrophic disaster!
In indescribable fear, Tian Chang raised his eyes and saw a white

It was a pale color.

Only when the danger is isolated, the emotions are relieved, and the vision is extended can you see clearly.

This is a hand.

A hand that cut off King Qin Guang's sight.

It was shackled, pale and thin, and just lay open in the air in an ordinary way.

The joints are distinct, like five white bone ridges.

They are called shackles, but the chains are broken and only a few iron rings are hanging here and there, making them look more like jewelry than shackles.

Tian Chang's heartstrings, which had just relaxed, suddenly tensed again.

Because although the danger from King Qin Guang was isolated, the danger did not go away. In fact, what came at this moment was the danger itself!

He knew he would come, and he even came at his command.

But he was still afraid!
