You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 23: Lower Water Palace

Using the Turtle Breathing Technique, Zuo Chen floated in the middle of Baishou Lake.

The lake water around him was not even a step closer to his body. Zuo Chen felt as if he was walking in the oceanarium of his previous life.

Gathering the Qi in the eyes, his sight instantly penetrated the turbid and indistinguishable lake water around him.

Passing by the fish, floating grass, and fish balls thrown by someone in the river, Zuo Chen saw a big red sedan chair at the bottom of the lake.

He moved closer to the big red sedan chair and saw a handsome man and a pretty girl inside.

The two of them were wearing new red clothes, as if they were getting married today, full of joy.

However, their faces were extremely pale at this moment, and their souls had left their bodies, indicating that they had just died.

Zuo Chen came close to the two of them, stretched out his left and right index fingers, and lightly touched their foreheads. Then the two of them quickly regained their color, as if they had fallen asleep.

He walked to the back of the sedan chair and wrapped the Qi around it. Zuo Chen exerted a little force and the entire sedan chair floated in the water.

Several fish were attracted by the Qi and gathered around the red sedan. They came under the sedan and like people supporting the sedan, they carried the vehicle made of wooden boards and red cloth towards the lake.

Caiyi was waiting for Zuo Chen boredly by the river, when she suddenly saw crackling bubbles coming out of the lake, and a big red sedan was lifted directly out from the center of the lake!
Below the sedan, a school of fish was surging, like clusters of brocade flowers or colorful waves. There seemed to be faint sounds of suona, gongs, drums, and firecrackers, as if it was a team seeing off a newlywed couple!

Caiyi widened her eyes and rubbed them hard, thinking she had seen it wrong.

Zuo Chen, who was at the bottom of the river, naturally had no idea how much trouble he had brought to his cheap apprentice Caiyi. After saving this year's Shengji, he turned to the other side of the river. Soon, Zuo Chen found his target this time.

A pair of ornaments lying in the sand at the bottom of the lake.

He rolled up his sleeves and waved them, and the fine sand in the lake was immediately blown away, and the golden boy and jade girl floated into Zuo Chen's hands.

As he gently touched and played with it with his fingers, a hint of surprise appeared in Zuo Chen's eyes.

These two little creatures are full of spiritual energy. According to Taoist scriptures, they are natural treasures from heaven and earth.

But now someone used Yin energy to attack their spiritual energy, almost destroying the foundation of the treasure!
A violent thing!
Zuo Chen calls himself an ordinary man. No matter whether it is gold and silver treasures from the mortal world or treasures formed by the essence of mountain spirits, he does not force it, but he still feels distressed if someone urinates in antiques.

After injecting spiritual energy into the golden boy and jade girl, the two thumb-sized babies finally woke up with a start.

Seeing himself still in the water, being held by an unknown Taoist priest, he thought he was indeed being offered up to the river god, and he burst into tears.

Zuo Chen burst out laughing and explained in a gentle voice for a long time before the two little kids realized that they were rescued by someone.

The little kids then knelt in Zuo Chen's palm, kowtowed to him and called him "Master", hoping pitifully that Zuo Chen would take them away.

"Just follow me first."

Zuo Chen smiled brightly. Everyone would be happy to get the treasure, including him.

Holding the golden boy and jade girl in his arms, Zuo Chen set his gaze at the bottom of Baishou Lake.

There is the water palace of the bighead carp.

According to Fathead Fish, there are countless gold, silver and treasures in the Water Palace, all of which were donated by Old Bai over the years. Zuo Chen is not so interested in the silver, but wants to see if Fathead Fish has found any clues related to cultivation.

Even if you only learn two tricks, it's worth the trip.

As his thoughts moved, Zuo Chen had already floated above the water palace. Looking closely, he saw that there was indeed a large courtyard in the center of the lake with a lot of corals.

The precious light is dazzling and quite magnificent.

But next to the yard there was a pile of white bones. At first glance, one could not tell whether this was the residence of the river god or a mass grave in the wild.

Zuo Chen swam to the mass grave, looked at the corpses on the ground, and sighed:

“The unjust death in the water requires a replacement.

“I don’t know who made this damn rule.” The Taoist robe moved casually, and spiritual energy came out, and barely visible golden threads swept across the graveyard.

The dirty air was swept away, and from then on, the bones were just bones, nothing more.

Zuo Chen stood where he was, as if receiving a salute from an invisible person. After a while, he continued to swim towards the water palace.

When you enter the courtyard, you can see that the entire center of the courtyard is covered with gold and silver jewelry, including gold as big as bricks and brightly glowing night pearls.

Fathead fish was right, he was really rich.

Zuo Chen thought about it and decided to take out an ingot of silver, an ingot of gold, and a night-shining pearl for his travel expenses, but he didn't take anything else.

He doesn't have the ability to absorb objects yet, so he can't take more than he wants.

Then, Zuo Chen began to look for his real target.

Looking around, it was of course not feasible to search for books under the water. What Zuo Chen found this time were bamboo slips or something containing spiritual energy.

"Huh? It really does!"

There were no bamboo slips or stone slabs, but Zuo Chen found a jade pendant buried at the bottom of the treasure pile. There was a faint spiritual energy on it that was eye-catching.

After flipping through the valuables, Zuo Chen quickly took out the jade pendant.

This jade pendant looks ordinary, with neither words nor carvings on it. If it weren't for the barely perceptible spiritual energy, Zuo Chen would probably have mistaken it for a small piece of offering offered by the Bai Society over the years.

There is no spiritual energy in the body of the fathead fish. I guess he didn't figure out what it is after it fell into his hands, so he just threw it into the pile of treasures as an ordinary item.

After taking the jade pendant, Zuo Chen was not in a hurry to leave. He injected a trace of spiritual energy into it, and he immediately resonated with it.

Closing his eyes slightly, Zuo Chen felt that there seemed to be a piece of information coming towards him from the jade pendant.

"...Even with all the magic skills, it is still difficult to slay the evil in Zhongzhou. No wonder Master is unwilling to leave the mountain, saying that he wants to escape from the world and avoid disasters...

"No, the disaster has been averted, and all the people in the world have died. Master can ascend to heaven, but ordinary people in the world cannot.

"...Leave this magic here. If a fellow Taoist can learn it, I hope it will bring peace to the world and help you fight for destiny!"

The content in the jade pendant was intermittent and most of the text was unclear. Zuo Chen could not hear it clearly, but he remembered a few key words.

Zhongzhou, Miao Fa, the master who can ascend to immortality.

It seems that there are still cultivators in this world!

Zuo Chen continued to accept the contents of the wonderful method, but after he had completely digested and absorbed all the contents in the jade pendant, Zuo Chen's expression became a little strange.

This wonderful technique is called "Flowers Bloom in an Instant". According to the description in the jade pendant, this technique allows one to spit out lotus flowers from the mouth, step on flowers and weave a garland to wear on the head. This means one will be surrounded by golden flowers and cannot be harmed by evil magic. It is a recipe for avoiding disasters.

Its in-depth methods are indeed not ordinary technologies, but it is a pity that the wonderful method is also a little incomplete like before, and most of the content may require Zuo Chen to figure it out by himself.

After putting away the jade pendant, Zuo Chen stepped on the water and headed towards the waves of the lake.

In the blink of an eye, the man jumped out of the lake and landed on the shore.

Caiyi was still studying the sedan chair. When she saw Zuo Chen coming out, she immediately went to greet him eagerly.

"Let's send them both back home later."

As soon as Zuo Chen finished speaking, bursts of noisy sounds were heard from the city not far away.

Faintly, I could still hear Liu Laizi's powerful voice:
"Xu Fugui! You are sacrificing a living person, which is against the will of heaven and earth! The government won't intervene, so I will arrest you today on their behalf!"
