Tricked by a ferocious beast into time-traveling, the story begins with fleeing famine.

Thinking about it, it should be able to know the entrance to the Dragon Palace. Thinking of this, Qingyan suddenly felt that she and others were just messing around.

Jin Yang heard Qingyan talking about this and just thought of this. He immediately summoned the water spirit bead and asked the water spirit bead this question.

The water spirit bead swayed up and down, left and right, then stood still in the air for a while, and then swooped back into the spirit spring pool.

Qingyan looked at Jin Yang with a puzzled look, "What happened to it? Why did it run back again?"

Jin Yang said amusingly: "I sent a message to it and asked it if it knew where the entrance to the Dongting Dragon Palace was. It knew that we had arrived at Dongting Lake, so it said it didn't know and went back directly."

Qingyan was a little confused, "Is it scared or angry?"

After all, it was Qiantang Dragon King, the younger brother of the Dongting Dragon King, who killed it. Could it be that it left a shadow and was afraid of encountering it again?

Jin Yang shrugged, it was unclear.

However, it still sent a message to Shui Lingzhu again, telling them that they had searched all over Junshan Island but could not find the entrance, and also told them their current location.

As a result, after it finished speaking, Shui Lingzhu came out on its own, and after being silent for a while, he said to it: "I have been trapped there for many years, and things have changed everywhere. I really don't know what will happen next.

When I came here before, I always went directly to the center of Dongting Lake. The talent of our dragon clan is that we can freely pass through any barrier. Dragon palaces are generally built in the center, no matter the rivers, lakes or seas.

As for the entrance to the outside world, that is not necessarily the case. It will be changed at any time if necessary. We, the Dragon Clan, can do whatever we want.

But I can go out and help you take a look. Although I no longer have a physical body, it is still possible to sense whether the Dragon Palace is still there. "

After saying that, he flashed out of the space, and Qingyan and the others followed them out of the space. They saw Shui Lingzhu dive directly to the bottom of the water and enter the hole.

"No, it went in anyway. Isn't that really a passage?"

Qingyan looked at the entrance of the cave and said to Jin Yang and Huang Jin.

Jin Yang and Huang Huang said that they didn't know or how long it would take for it to come back, and now they could only wait here.

It was already evening. They had eaten lunch on Mingshan Island before. They hadn't eaten dinner yet, so they decided to eat in this cave.

Although half of the cave is filled with water, it is not cold. Perhaps because the cave entrance faces the southwest, half of the cave is quite dry.

Jin Yang took out some ingredients from the space and cooked them in the cave.

There is no other way to continue eating beef. Those things that Chou Chou collected have been kept fresh in the space where Chou Chou has taken them. Without Chou Chou, they can't take them out now. They can only take the things in Jinyang space.

With Jin Yang here, there is no need to go back to space, and he can directly get three pheasants and some vegetables from the mountain in space.

After clearing the gravel on the ground, we cleared a space and used the stones in the cave to build two temporary stoves. One was filled with a large iron pot to stew pheasant and mushrooms, and the other was stewed with rice.

This is relatively simple, although the stewing time is longer than stir-frying, the key is that it tastes delicious.

Of course, beggar's chicken is also delicious, but it's more troublesome to make. Not only does it need to be marinated, but it also has to be wrapped in lotus leaves and yellow mud, and it also takes time to bake.

This is much simpler. Just process the pheasant, chop it into pieces, and add dried mushrooms and seasonings.

They had picked and dried the mushrooms before. There is no need to put them in the Chou Chou space. They are dry goods anyway. They can just put them in a ventilated place.

The reason why fresh mushrooms are not used is because when stewing mushrooms, fresh mushrooms do not taste as good as dried mushrooms.

Dried mushrooms will not rot even after being stewed for a long time, and they also have a chewy texture, while fresh mushrooms will rot in one meal.

When the rice was ready, he took the pot aside, put a small wok on it, fried another leek and scrambled eggs, and patted a cucumber.

After they were done, Jin Yang took out a table and a few stools and placed them on the open space that had been prepared before.

While they were putting out the food and setting the table, Qingyan tried to send a message to Chou Chou to see if she could get in touch with him. She actually got in touch with him and directly asked him where he was and told him that the food was ready and that he should come back quickly. Have a meal.

Chou Chou said that they have come back, yes, it is them, Chou Chou and Shui Lingzhu met together.

Then Qingyan felt that as soon as she finished speaking in her head, Chou Chou and Shui Lingzhu had already sprung out of the hole.

Because her consciousness was looking into the water when she transmitted the message, she saw ChouChou as soon as they came out.

The luminous pearl that was put down for illumination was not put up, so I could see it very clearly.

I don't know if it was her imagination, but when the two Chou Chou came out, a white light seemed to flash inside the cave entrance. After they came out, the cave entrance turned into darkness again.

Moreover, before Chou Chou and Shui Lingzhu rushed out, Qingyan did not see their figures at the entrance of the cave, because they suddenly appeared.

Could it be that white light is a barrier? The reaction that occurs after being touched by them, otherwise it would just flash and disappear after they come out.

When Chou Chou and Shui Lingzhu came up from the water, Jin Yang quickly helped it dry its fur, and Qingyan also brought out a sheepskin cloak to wrap it up.

Chou Chou accepted Jin Yang's drying, but refused Qing Yan to wrap it in a cloak. It really didn't feel cold.

Shui Lingzhu communicated with Jin Yang for a while and then disappeared, presumably back to space.

Chou Chou transformed into a human and sat on the stool. Qingyan had previously taken out a fire spirit stone and placed it in the middle of the table so that the food could be kept warm and they could stay warm.

After Chou Chou sat down, he talked about his previous discovery, "After I entered the cave entrance, I found that there was a passage inside. Follow the passage downstream. It starts going all the way down, surrounded by stones. As you walk along, After about a moment or so, I walked out of the channel and into the water.

I thought we should be at the bottom of Wanzi Lake, which is no different from other underwater environments.

Unexpectedly, when I looked back, I could only see the entrance of the cave and no other rocks at all.

It was clear that we were going down before. The passage should be at the bottom of the mountain. We should also be able to see the rocks when we reach the bottom of the water. This mountain peak cannot be floating on the water. The bottom must be all the way to the bottom of the water.

And I could only see the entrance of the cave, as if the entrance was placed directly there, surrounded by water, and there was a sudden stone entrance.

I used my spiritual sense to detect it, but there was nothing there, so I swam up to the surface and took a look. Obviously I only swam for a quarter of an hour, but when I reached the water, I couldn't see these two small islands, and there wasn't even any land nearby.

Then I looked again with my consciousness and found that I was hundreds of miles away in a quarter of an hour!

The entrance of this cave should be a teleportation array, which directly teleported me hundreds of miles away. It should be the center of Dongting Lake. The water is very deep and there are many fish and shrimps.

I wondered if that might be the location of the Dragon Palace, and then I used my spiritual consciousness to explore the bottom of the water again, not even missing some of the cracks in the water.

As a result, we did not find the existence of the Dragon Palace, but we found a stone tablet under the water, and I brought it back.

Then when I was almost back to the entrance of the cave, I met Shui Lingzhu. It said that you asked it to go there and have a look, so I followed it and walked around there again. "

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge stone tablet appeared in the cave. Because it was too tall to be placed vertically, it had to be left lying down.

The lower part should be broken, there is no base, and it looks uneven. Visually, it is about ten meters long and three to four meters wide. There are only three large characters on it, no other words or patterns, not even a signature.

Moreover, it was written in relatively ancient writing, and Qingyan couldn't even tell what those three characters were.

It was Jin Yang who read out, "Guixu Realm? Does this passage lead to the legendary Guixu Secret Realm?"

"What is the secret place of Guixu? Is it also a blessed land and a cave?"

Qingyan asked doubtfully.

Or is it another name for Dongting Dragon Palace?

Jin Yang explained: "In the era when I was born, there was a legend about a floating island in the sky and a ruined realm under the water.

This is talking about two secret realms. Many treasures of heaven and earth will be opened every sixty years, as well as opportunities that make immortal cultivators flock to them.

It just didn't appear again in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties. Later, everyone gradually thought that it was just a legendary existence.

I didn't expect this to really exist. I just don't know how this monument could be at the bottom of Dongting Lake and why the secret realm has disappeared. "

"Then the place where Chou Chou and the others went could not be the Gui Xu Secret Realm. But for some reason, only this monument is left."

Qingyan guessed.

Jin Yang nodded, "I don't rule out this possibility. It's possible that something happened to the secret realm and it collapsed, or it's possible that the monument fell there accidentally."

At this time, Chou Chou interjected: "Shui Lingzhu said before that it could feel the residual breath of the Dragon Clan there. It should have been the location of the Dragon Palace before, but it disappeared for some reason.

The barrier there was still there, only the Dragon Palace was gone. It also sensed it there, but didn't sense it in the surroundings, and then the two of us came back together. "

In this case, they have no choice. Since they have found the previous location of the Dragon Palace, there is no need to continue to look for the entrance here, and they can't find it even if they try.

As for the stele, they also studied it and found that the material of the stone was unusual, and it turned out to be a soul stone!

Such a large piece is so rare that it can be made into a wall with a length of more than ten meters.

I don’t know where the secret realm of Guixu has gone. This stone tablet is made of good materials, so you can imagine what’s inside.

Qingyan thought for a moment and said to Chou Chou: "Doesn't it matter if we take this stone tablet away? Will we really not be able to find the secret realm of Guixu in the future?"

Chou Chou shook his head and said, "You can't take it away. Although this is a good thing made of soul stone, if you have too much of it, it won't be of much use. What we collected before is enough."

Qingyan blinked, are you going to send it back?

Chou Chou: "I'll put it back in its place soon. Since we can't find it there, it's probably not our chance. From now on, only those who are destined will get it."

After saying that, it stood up and was about to leave. Qingyan quickly stopped it and said, "Don't worry about it. Let's eat first. The food is ready. I'm just waiting for you to come back and eat. You can send it back after you finish the meal." Not too late."

Chou Chou nodded and sat back. He first put the stone tablet into its space, otherwise it would take up too much space.

Then they finished their meal quickly, extinguished the fire in the cave, dealt with the traces of previous cooking, and then Chou Chou jumped into the water again and got into the hole.

This time we came back quickly, it took more than half an hour, which is the time it took to go back and forth in the cave.

When it came back, they entered the space directly, and then Chou Chou said to them: "I just discovered another problem. After putting the stone tablet back in place, I was going to enter the space directly from there. I thought about it and saved it. It's time, but I didn't expect that I couldn't get in at all.

I could only swim back to the entrance of the cave and swim back slowly.

There might not be any shielding formation or barrier there, but another dimension. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to return to my own space.

The only way to get there is through the entrance of this cave. Now that I think about it, it’s a bit strange. Even if it is the center of Dongting Lake, with the coverage of my spiritual consciousness, even if it is really 800 miles away from Dongting, I can completely cover it. I shouldn’t see it. There are other lands than the islands here and Junshan Island.

But wherever my consciousness goes, there is a vast ocean. It seems that it is completely water and has been cut off from the outside world.

If the Dragon Palace was there before, there is only one possibility. The Dragon Palace is not in Dongting Lake at all, but in another dimension.

Only specific entrances and exits can be entered and exited. It is impossible to find it by blindly searching at the bottom of the lake. "

After listening to its description, Qingyan wanted to see what it was like there, but she gave up the idea when she thought she would have to be in the water for more than a quarter of an hour.

Since she couldn't get in from the outside and had to go through the underwater hole, she had no chance. Without diving equipment, holding in the water for more than ten minutes would be an impossible task.

The original hope of being able to pass through Chou Chou's space was gone. Chou Chou himself couldn't return to the space inside, let alone take them with him, so this was not feasible.

After returning to the space, they chatted for a while, talked about the next itinerary, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Now that they knew they couldn't find the entrance to the Dragon Palace, they stopped going to Lianhua Ao and Lidaokou. They thought there would be nothing to see there.

As for playing in the past, there is no need for it. It is better to return to the land and continue walking in the direction of Poyang Lake. You can stop and play along the way.

Now let's see if we can find anything over there. The two places are not close to each other, so the Dragon Palace can't all be in the same space.

It doesn't matter even if they are in the same space, they have nothing to lose anyway, they can still have fun along the way, and they have no other goals so far.
