After the immortal disappeared

"As long as the people under him are sensible, we need to rely on them to check those towns." Cen Boqing went to He Palace and cooed, "Wait until Lord Fan finishes his work, and you will see how the man named Tian comes to flatter you."

"I just hope Fan Sheng won't miss again this time."

Cen Boqing smiled heartily: "What are you afraid of? We have the time and advantage. Every day that passes, He Xiao becomes more passive."

Zhongsun Mou thought about it and felt relieved. Based on the current situation, if someone named He wanted to bite them, he would have nowhere to go.

Identity is the best barrier.

Even the prince's special envoy from Chiyan Kingdom could not move them at all without providing real evidence.

"That's right." He glanced at Xuan Jing on the table, feeling a little regretful, "I have to thank him for the gift. It's just a pity about the mirror shield."

That magic weapon is an excellent defensive treasure, which is perfect for him. If Fan Sheng kills He Xiao, Jingdun will be the trophy of the family and has nothing to do with Zhongsun Mou.

…

He Lingchuan is not a decathlete, and his rowing skills are very poor. Fortunately, he was working with a soldier under Lu Dutong, named Jia Yu. Before he became a soldier, he was a local fisherman in Tommy Township. He could punt through rapids, and it was no problem to visit the Lotus Palace and so on.

Jia Yu taught him the tricks while rowing. After He Lingchuan tried it a few times, he gradually got the hang of it and the boat speed greatly increased.

The water here is gentle, and the test is nothing more than the contestants' ability to recognize the road.

Of course, the most important thing is luck.

But He Lingchuan had a cheating tool in hand and decided to rely on strength rather than luck to win——

He can determine the location of the treasure based on the heating status of the divine bone necklace.

It is assumed that the treasure recognized by the divine bone is the "Overlord Lotus".

Approaching the Lotus Palace, He Lingchuan realized what the infinite green lotus leaves in the sky meant. It was indeed a whole forest of lotus leaves.

The lotus leaves formed one high green wall after another. The boat sailed in and soon lost its way.

Not to mention the people in the boat, even if the spectators on the Chaohu Tower are condescending, they most likely cannot see the specific situation in the maze.

"How did you find Overlord Lotus in the past?" He Lingchuan asked Jia Yu, "Can you ask the Shui Tribe for help?"

"It won't work." Jia Yu said, "For the sake of fairness, all the aquatic tribes must leave after cleaning up the duckweeds. Only at this time will the Overlord Lotus grow. And the lotus picking competition is only open to humans."

"Why don't these aquatic tribes retreat?" The fish and turtles are all hiding in the water, so they are not easy to be found, right?

"The local water spirit is the lotus demon who is more than 200 years old. It will pay close attention to the situation on the playing field." Jia Yu tried his best to push the boat. "In the past, sixty or seventy people cheated. They all did not believe in evil, but they were all caught by it. With heavy punishment. No one will be so arrogant in the future."

He Lingchuan shrugged: "That's good."

This lotus demon has very powerful magic power. It takes just a few days to grow such a dense lotus palace on the water.

The waterway in the maze is less than two feet at its widest point, so the boat can basically only paddle forward, with no place to turn. The narrowest point is only five feet, so the boat has to squeeze hard to pass.

As soon as we entered the maze, everything was quiet.

Only the sounds of other boats paddling and people talking came from nowhere.

"Go east." He Lingchuan suddenly said, "Yes, walk ten feet forward."

Jia Yuqi asked: "Do you know what Overlord Lotus looks like?"

"Uh, I don't know." He only knew that he was not in position because the sacred bone necklace was quite hot.

"It was a huge blood-red lotus bud with golden stripes on its surface."

"Blood red..." He Lingchuan looked around and found that there were lotus buds waiting to bloom everywhere, with branches reaching into the sky, also called lotus arrows. In addition to the most common water red, there are also light pink, light purple, pink white, and light green, which is really colorful.

Finding a blood-red lotus bud among tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of lotus buds is about as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. You must know that the lotus arrows are not blooming, and most of them have green calyxes. You may miss them just by looking at them.

Jia Yu just looked around, hating himself for missing a few pairs of eyes.

"Generally speaking, there are rarely overlord lotuses on the outermost periphery and in the middle of the Lotus Palace." He murmured, "We have to look more in the middle of the maze. Can you remember the waterway?"

"Barely enough." He Lingchuan asked curiously, "How do you know there are very few in between?"

"In the past few decades, we have only found it seven times."

"Really?" He Lingchuan looked towards the north, "Don't worry about it, just follow me."

"What can you do?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "If I can figure it out, it's better than you looking for it aimlessly."

Jia Yu became happy and said, "Okay! I will row wherever you point."

The boat walked for a while and fell deep into the maze.

The setting of the Lotus Palace is also very bad. The scenery at both ends of the channel is often exactly the same, so you can't find the direction at all after rowing back and forth a few times.

Especially on such a cloudy day, you can't even use the sun in the sky to locate your position.

It was quiet all around, except for two silly frogs occasionally jumping out of the water.

The sacred bone necklace suddenly became hot, and He Lingchuan let out a sigh.

Their boat was rowing very slowly and was about to turn around in a small circle. Why did the necklace suddenly become so hot?

Has the goal become further away?

Once the Overlord Lotus grows, it should stay put. Could it be that the sacred bone necklace points to something else?

Don't, don't trick him, three pieces of Xuan Jing are still being held in Chaohu Tower!

He Lingchuan suddenly felt his head was as big as a bucket.

But he had no other choice but to ask Jia Yu to turn around again and head straight north.

This special envoy often made the boat turn around, and Jia Yu was used to it. He only obeyed and didn't talk too much.

Fortunately, nothing happened to the divine bone necklace, and the direction was very clear.

The further He Lingchuan advances, the lower its heat becomes.

"Keep your eyes open." He reminded Jia Yu, "It should be around here."

As expected, Jia Yu looked around, for fear of missing something.

At this time, less than three quarters of an hour had passed since the start of the game. The two of them, He Lingchuan, had reached the northeast corner of the maze. There were fewer and fewer boats on the way, and now they were only accompanied by the chirping of insects and frogs.

As Jia Yu said, everyone doesn't like the edge location and feels that the possibility of finding Overlord Lotus here is too small.

But the Divine Bone Necklace leads here.

"There!" Jia Yu suddenly reached out and pointed, almost jumping with excitement.

After six years of participating in the competition and running with her every year, he never found Bawang Lian in the maze.

"Shh!" He Lingchuan pointed in front of his lips, telling him to calm down, "Pull across, hurry up."

There are hundreds of large and small lotus arrows among the layers of lotus walls, and one of them is blood red with two thin golden lines on the surface. Because it hasn't bloomed yet, the lines are particularly inconspicuous.

It's hard for Jia Yu to still find it.

He Lingchuan's heart beat faster than expected. This thing is worth fifty thousand taels of silver.

The mirror chuckled twice: "Have you already thought about it, if someone else finds it first, you will seize the lotus with a sword?"

If this kid didn't catch it, the loss would be one hundred thousand taels!

How can a person who is not rich be able to afford such a situation?

"No." He Lingchuan whispered, "Even if I lose, Zhongsun Mou can't take my money."

He smiled so confidently and sinisterly that the mirror actually shuddered, as if it was back to the time when He Lingchuan was plotting against it.

The boat was moving forward rapidly. Jia Yu didn't wait for it to stop and plunged into the water with a knife in his mouth.

The essence of grabbing lottery chips is just one word:

quick!

He went to find Bawang Lian, and He Lingchuan also waited with bated breath.

With two popping sounds, the lotus leaf suddenly swayed left and right, startling both of them.

But a black-headed duck rushed out of the lotus wall, quacked at them angrily, and then ran away quickly on the water.

"Dead bird!" Jia Yu cursed. In normal times, he would have roasted the duck.

At this moment, a few ripples suddenly appeared on the water surface about a foot away behind He Lingchuan.

A short mugwort stick came out of the water silently - this thing is common around - aimed at He Lingchuan, and suddenly shot a blow dart!

Then a shadow broke through the water and headed straight for He Lingchuan.

Although the artemisia stick was perfunctory, the blowing arrow was not perfunctory. Halfway through the shot, the speed suddenly doubled, and the arrow branch changed from one to three.

The arrows are made of hundred-refined steel, attached with a faint white light, and have the effect of breaking the Gang. With the support of Yuanli, it will not be a problem to penetrate the body's true energy.

Once hit, he will be half disabled even if he is not dead.

The man who jumped out of the water moved very quickly. Although he launched his attack later, he had already caught up to three feet behind the arrow. He started swinging the ax like a crescent moon.

This attack took more than three-quarters of an hour to build up, until the energy was completely exhausted. The moment he took action, it was like thunder coming to the world. No matter whether He Lingchuan evaded or blocked, he could not avoid his full blow.

The strong wind on the ax blade was so strong that even the air was cut with a cracking sound. The violent air wave pushed towards He Lingchuan, and the feeling of facing it was no less than that of a tornado being swept directly in the face.

Not to mention being unable to open his eyes, even his body was tightly suppressed.

With this person's status, if he doesn't take action, it will be enough. Once he takes action, he will finish his work with one blow.

As soon as the blow dart came out, He Lingchuan looked like he had eyes on his back, and he fell forward like a fierce tiger.

He had waited for so long, and the other party finally attacked.

The boat couldn't withstand his strength. The bow sank and the stern was raised high, just in front of the three blow darts.

With three ding-ding sounds, the arrow passed through the wood and hit the wall in front.

One can imagine how powerful it is.

The man behind almost caught up with Flow Arrow. In other words, the raised stern also blocked his way, giving him a slap in the face!

With a click, the stern of the boat split into several pieces, and splinters of wood flew all over the sky.

The power of the ax continued unabated, and a section of the seven-foot wall in front was chopped down by the fierce wind of the ax, and the tall stems fell into the water.

Fortunately, Jia Yu had just poked his head out of the water and had not yet climbed up the wall, otherwise he would have been cut in two.

He shrank his head in fright, and He Lingchuan's voice sounded in his ears: "Chui Lian, hurry up!"

The lotus wall was chopped down, and half of the stem of the Overlord Lotus was broken. It was blown around by the wind of the axe. I was really afraid that it would break in the next second.

Jia Yu has been a soldier for many years, and obeying orders has almost become instinctive. Hearing this, he hugged Bawang Lian. In his opinion, the sneak attacker also wants this lotus. As long as he grabs it first, the situation will be decided.
