withered prosperity

Yan Hai leaned against the railing, sat there and looked up.

The light is very bright, the water surface is slightly crimson, and the surroundings are green grass.

The place where they were was not so much a pond as a large square well surrounded by white railings.

The water in the well is quiet and without any waves. There is a pillar in the center above the water surface, and a statue of a strange fish with many fins stands on the top.

This square well is located in the hinterland, and the surrounding terrain is very high, as if surrounded by a circle of hills, and the steps lead all the way to the top.

Yan Hai touched the steps below him, only to feel that his hands were warm and moist, and it turned out to be like high-quality mutton fat white jade.

"Yue Cuiwei, what is this place?" Yue Liuyi also looked around, lowered his head and asked him, "How did we get here? I clearly remember that we were still in that endless passage just now, and... ...Where is Pavilion Master Yun?"

Yan Hai shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the answers to any of these questions.

"It's evil!" Yue Liuyi licked his lips: "You said this... this! Yue Cuiwei! What is this!"

Her voice has changed.

Yan Hai followed her gaze and looked up.

That's blue...no!wrong!

He leaned on the railing and stood up, looking at the sky in surprise.

"This is..." Because he was too surprised, his voice was choked in his throat.

"This is water!" Yue Liuyi took it. "Where is the sky, it's all water!"

Above the sky... No, that can't be regarded as the sky. Above their heads, there is a piece of water shimmering, which obviously looks like a blue sea.

"Yue Cuiwei, I am dreaming!" Yue Liuyi said blankly, "How can I see that I am standing under the sky made of water!"

Even Mu Huaijin forgot to groan in pain, just sat there and stared at the top of his head stupidly.

The three of them stood there looking up at the spectacle for quite a while.

"You said that living in this world, you can meet anything!" Yue Liuyi finished twisting her arm, confirming that she was not dreaming. "Yue Cuiwei, don't just stand there and say something!"

"What?" Yan Hai finally withdrew his gaze and looked around again. "I've never been here."

"I don't believe anyone has been to this kind of place!" Yue Liuyi lowered his head and asked Mu Huaijin, "Master Mu, have you been here before?"

Mu Huaijin choked up a mouthful of water, coughing non-stop while shaking his head.

Yue Liuyi squatted down beside him, and said with a smile: "Master Mu, we almost died because of what you said, and now we have come to such a ghostly place, you have to give it to us no matter what!" Let's explain it together!"

"Look, Mr. Liuyi!" Mu Huaijin managed to stop coughing, and said with a wry smile, "Didn't I also experience a narrow escape just now? If I knew where the danger lies, how could I be so unprepared?" Put yourself at risk?"

"So, this is the 'dark room' you are looking for?" Yue Liuyi pointed to the top of her head: "Then you have to explain to us anyway, what is going on!"

"This...like water?" Mu Huaijin said uncertainly, "Sea?"

"Thank you for telling me this." Yue Liuyi nodded: "If I'm blind, I'll take it to day!"

"About the darkroom on the second floor, what did the records of the Mu family say?" Yan Hai asked. "Master Mu, with the current situation, you should tell us about it in detail!"

With his hands behind his back, he looked down at Mu Huaijin condescendingly.

Coupled with Yue Liuyi squatting aside, Mu Huaijin was under a lot of pressure.

"actually……"

In fact, when the Mu family finally knew the mystery of the mechanism of the nine-fin room and was about to try to open the second dark room, an accident happened.The situation was very critical at that time, they could only leave Qianlian Island hastily...

"This is wrong!" Without Yan Hai's reminder, Yueliuyi immediately thought of the flaws in these words: "I remember that not long ago, you clearly said that the reason why you came to the island was to find the old Mu family. The missing thing. But if the Mu family didn't open the darkroom, how could the thing you need be in there?"

"It's not that the dark room has never been opened." Mu Huaijin sighed: "It's just that the one who opened it can't be regarded as a member of the Mu family, but that alien monster."

"Aren't you fooling me?" Yue Liuyi raised his eyebrows: "Master Mu, why do I always feel that there are many inappropriate things in what you said! Do you have any inconvenience to tell us? ah!"

"It's nothing inconvenient, it's just that there are some things that I didn't have time to tell you two." Mu Huaijin looked at Yan Hai, who looked up again: "That monster originally came from this dark room on the second floor... "

The pillar in the water existed on the island before the Mu family came.

I don't know who built it, and I don't know where it came from.

Such a unique thing that is not a natural creation at a glance is naturally an important thing that the Mu family painstakingly studied.

They quickly found the darkroom on the first floor, but there was nothing in it.

"At that time, there was really nothing inside, and the whole place was empty, but my ancestors were unwilling to give up, and they always felt that there was some mystery in it..."

In the following years, they have made no progress, and then one day, when everyone was caught off guard, the dark room was opened, and the monster from the alien race appeared on the island...

"It took up the body of the Mu family's daughter and turned Futu Islet into Qianlian Island. The two of you should be clear about what happened afterwards."

After Mu Huaijin finished speaking, no one spoke for a while.

"What about those secret books?"

"That's not something from the Mu family."

"So the palace lord is a monster, and the palace lord comes from this place. This place is very weird... It sounds reasonable." Yue Liuyi smiled a little reluctantly: "But in this way, there is a problem."

"Is there another 'palace lord' in this place?" She stretched her hand to the back of her waist, but found nothing. The only dagger left was also lost.

"Yue Cuiwei, what are you thinking there!" She clenched her fists: "Didn't you hear him say that the monster came from this place?"

Yan Hai's response went up two steps.

"I'm thinking, according to the direction of our dive, we should be in the deep sea at this moment, so the sea water above our heads is likely to be." He said as if talking to himself: "But if our heads are really sea water , Where did the light come from?"

If it was under the deep sea, it should be pitch black, but in front of him, it seemed that there was no sunlight but it was sunny, with sufficient and bright light.

Moreover, it is full of greenery and vitality... If there is no sunlight, then what kind of light is this?

He looked towards the high place at the end of the steps.

"Do you really have the time to think about this?" Yue Liuyi felt powerless: "I thought you were so full of thoughts that you were worried about Pavilion Master Yun!"

"Yunji...he'll be fine." He paused for a moment, and added: "What can I do if I encounter something that he can't handle?"

"That's the truth... why does it sound a bit fickle! Hey hey!" Seeing that he was about to go up casually, Yue Liuyi stood up quickly: "Don't walk around, we don't care about this place at all. I don’t know anything, so I have to discuss it first, make a decision and then move!”

"If it's really something magical, it's useless for us 'mortals' to think too much." He glanced at Mu Huaijin: "Master Mu, am I right?"

Mu Huaijin also got up from the ground, and he was at a loss when he heard this.

Yan Hai smiled, turned his head and left without asking any further questions.

Yue Liuyi watched Yan Hai walk up the steps.

Then watch him stand at the top of the steps, standing motionless like a statue.

"Yue Cuiwei?" For some reason, Yue Cuiwei's upright back made her not dare to shout out loud, so she could only ask in a low voice: "Yue Cuiwei, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Hai shook, took a step back, and then took another step.

If he retreats again, he will fall down, Yue Liuyi hastily jumped up and stretched out his hand to support him.

"What's the matter?" Yue Liuyi asked him, while casually glanced ahead.

At this glance, she immediately stood there in a daze.

Not far in front of them, there is a huge white bone like a mountain.
