I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

In this world, there are very few people who can fly with a sword like Gu Jiu. Even if there are people who can fly like him, they will not do such a thing.

It would be foolish for everyone except Gu Jiu to consume precious sword knowledge just to take a ride in the sky.

Gu Jiu's sea of ​​consciousness is extremely vast, and it seems to be inexhaustible. He only needs to pay attention to the extent of his energy consumption.

For other practitioners, the energy accumulated in the sea of ​​consciousness is much more valuable than physical strength, because energy can be regenerated easily by sleeping and lying down for a while, while the sea of ​​consciousness requires constant practice to transform the vital energy of heaven and earth into "consciousness" for one's own use, and the process is very slow.

Gu Jiu, however, has no such worries. What you regard as gold is probably as worthless as boiled water in his eyes.

If you want to be extravagant, you must learn to waste.

After about a cup of tea, Gu Jiu jumped down and stepped on the sword to fly in the wind again.

This time he flew a little far, so in order to save energy, he used a method similar to "gliding".

At night, there are watchtowers on the city walls monitoring everything around them, but their attention is on the ground and they rarely look up at the sky.

Their city walls were too high, and eagles could often be seen flying nearby. Naturally, they would never have thought that someone could enter the city in this way.

Occasionally, a soldier would be too lazy to look up at the sky and see a dark shadow flash by, and would simply think it was a flying bird.

Floating into the palace from the Guanyin statue was the plan that Gu Jiu came up with when he took Su Ying flying close to the wall in the morning. Now it turns out that it really works.

Even Gu Jiu himself was a little impressed with himself for being able to come up with such an idea.

Gu Jiu quickly floated into Galan City. At midnight, the downtown area of ​​Galan City was still brightly lit and bustling with people.

There were businessmen still discussing business, cooks still cooking, soldiers on patrol, and men in the Qinglou building who only started working at night.

Now these things are all under his feet, far away from him, but Gu Jiu can vaguely feel the warm atmosphere.

Especially the street with the reddest lights, which is definitely the most irritating to the eyes and the brain.

Because when he was in Yanyang City, Gu Jiu walked through similar streets in pursuit of Su Ying. Even now, when he recalled the images of those "enchanting" men, he still felt a headache.

The palace at night was no more lively than the outer city, but seemed very quiet, except that there were many more lights than in the suburbs.

At this time, most of the male servants were asleep, and those who were still awake were basically the guards on duty.

These guards were of impressive stature and dressed in shiny black armor. Walking on the roads outside the palace, they looked like a metallic tide in an orderly manner.

No one noticed that a sword and a person slid over their heads.

The imperial palace has pavilions, terraces, corridors and palaces with complex terrain, but this is only for those who are in it.

If you stand high enough, like Gu Jiu, you will definitely find that it is actually very regular, just like pieces of tofu.

No matter how complicated the inside of the tofu block is, no matter how skillful the craftsman is, it has nothing to do with Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu had already determined the direction of Ganlin Palace. He did not rush to land, and even climbed to a higher altitude just to see the situation clearly.

If we were discovered during landing, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Gu Jiu wandered around in the air, found a gap, and landed on a tree with a whoosh.

The Xuepu sword was sheathed, the Ganlin Palace was just ahead, and where was the well that Xudu mentioned?

Gu Jiu looked around but found nothing, and finally discovered that the well was right under his feet.

The flower trees shook off many pink petals, which fell on the edge of the well, just like pastels applied by a painter.

Gu Jiu no longer hesitated and jumped into the well.

After about ten breaths, there was a gurgling sound and Gu Jiu fell into the water.

The well water was very cold, even a little bit biting. Gu Jiu's mind moved, and the pores of his skin closed, instantly isolating the cold feeling from outside.

There was no trace of light in the well water at this moment.

The water in the well is as black as ink and its depth is unknown.

Gu Jiu didn't hesitate, took a deep breath and began to dive.

In the water, his sword eyes flashed with a faint cold light, preventing him from being blinded.

Gu Jiu's body movements were agile, like a swimming fish, diving rapidly.

Only he could do such a thing as working in the fields at midnight, especially in the extremely dangerous imperial mausoleum.

Those fellow tomb robbers would not be so eager to die.

This well was much deeper than Gu Jiu had imagined. Even at his speed, he felt like he had been swimming for a long time and could never reach the bottom.

After a while, the well finally reached the bottom.

There was moss growing on the inside of the well wall, which felt like sticky snot and was a bit disgusting.

Gu Jiu looked around but couldn't find the entrance because the bottom of the well was closed on all sides.

However, Gu Jiu was not in a hurry, because he was no different from a fish now. He didn't have to worry about whether there was enough air, because he could breathe through his body pores at any time.

Although it feels a bit cold when the pores are open.

He subconsciously believed that the entrance was at the bottom of the well, but this was the secret passage of the imperial mausoleum, so how could it be found so easily?

So, Gu Jiu closed his eyes.

If there is an entrance, the water cannot stop flowing, and he only needs to sense the direction of the water flow.

The flow of water in the well was very weak, not much stronger than the waves of a butterfly flapping its wings, but as long as it flowed, Gu Jiu could feel it.

It didn't take long before Gu Jiu opened his eyes, swam upwards about ten feet, and then stopped.

He looked at the left side of the well wall and saw tiny bubbles coming out of the cracks in the bricks.

The moss on these bricks is much thinner than on other places, which obviously indicates that someone has moved these bricks before, or that this section of the well wall is newly built.

After seeing this scene, Gu Jiu smiled slightly, stretched out his finger, and then gently pulled out a brick.

Chapter 44: Deep Well Ice (Part )

The bricks on the wall of the well were quickly pulled out by Gu Jiu, turning it into a deep hole.

Gu Jiu didn't hesitate and swam straight in.

This water hole was a bit rough, as if it was dug out by some animal, with potholes and not as neat as the previous well.

Gu Jiu had to admit that the emperor's family was indeed rich and very sophisticated. Even the bricks of the well wall, which not many people could see, were carved with exquisite patterns.

This rough cave is not long and it takes about half a cup of tea to reach the end.

At the end of the cave was a pool of water about the size of a football field. Gu Jiu swam upstream and then climbed out of the water wetly.

Gu Jiu soon found himself in a side hall.

The green brick walls, the green lights, and the faint green light on the lights all prove that this is a corner of the underground palace.

Apart from the pool, this side hall only has a few bluestone pillars, which looks very simple.

If this was really the imperial tomb, Gu Jiu felt that it was much more shabby than he had imagined.

After all, the materials used for repairing the well outside are much better than those in this side hall.

However, Gu Jiu quickly realized that this was the imperial tomb of the You Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty, so he accepted this simple picture.

As the predecessor of the Tang Dynasty, the You Dynasty has always been famous for its plainness and simplicity. In the words of the people, the emperors of the You Dynasty did not live like emperors, but more like alchemists seeking the truth.

The cyan flames continued to burn, illuminating the walls with cyan. Gu Jiu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and asked, "Could this fire have been burning since the You Dynasty?"

He knew that there were mermaids in the South China Sea. Legend has it that mermaids were not mermaids, but human-shaped with fish tails and terrifying and hideous appearances.

Not only do they not shed tears that turn into pearls, they also have beautiful singing voices and are said to be extremely ferocious when it comes to eating humans. Many small coastal fishing villages are deserted, and this is probably due to their efforts.

It is said that mermaid fat can last for thousands of years if used as fuel.

So Gu Jiu couldn't help but suspect that the lamp oil might be the fat of the mermaids.

Thinking about what he still had to do, Gu Jiu stopped worrying about this little matter. What he had to do now was to find the cold pond that Fang Yuan mentioned.

But now there is a cold pond at his feet, and he doesn't know how many cold ponds there are in this imperial tomb.

According to Xudu, the main tomb chamber of the You Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum is actually a water tomb. If he wants to find the cold pond, it would probably be there.

Although he was a prince and a curious baby, he was really not familiar with the imperial mausoleum.

It was a combination of curiosity and luck that he got the news of this secret passage. At that time, he was still young and a weak boy, so he naturally would not go down to explore.

He could only give Gu Jiu some very simple suggestions, such as there is usually a sacred path outside the main tomb chamber, and the layout of the imperial mausoleum is actually very similar to that of Galan City.

Gu Jiu thought for a while and jumped into the pool again.

He walked around the pool at an astonishing speed to confirm that he didn't find what he was looking for.

Apart from the water, there are only a few underwater statues in this pool.

These statues should be based on some strange beasts and are sunk to the bottom of the water. Apart from looking a little weird, there is nothing special about them.

Gu Jiu’s first impression was that these things should be used for burial.

Gu Jiu jumped out of the pool again and decided to look for the sacred path first.

So, Gu Jiu walked out of the side hall.

The door to the side hall was not hidden, it was right there, but he had just taken a few dozen steps when he heard a clang and stopped moving.

Gu Jiu triggered the mechanism, and countless sharp spikes emerged from the ground in an instant.

These spikes are very long and sharp, with a faint green glow on the surface, and are enough to pierce a person's calf.

Gu Jiu looked at his feet and murmured, "Damn it, shoes are free?"

As he spoke, he lifted his foot and found a sharp hole in his shoe, and the sharp thorn that was about to pierce his foot had now turned into a lump.

This is the innate sword body, which will automatically defend itself when encountering danger. The ice-like skin on the soles of Gu Jiu's feet is the best proof of this.

Gu Jiu looked at the shoe with a hole in it and felt a little distressed because it was sewn for him by Su Ying herself as a New Year's gift.

Gu Jiu let out a long breath, and his body flashed like light and shadow, leaving the side hall.

Outside the side hall was a very open space, but the walls were still made of rocks and there was no visible entrance.

In this empty space, there were still only some rough pillars, burning green flames, and rows of strange beast statues similar to the ones in the water before.

I don’t know if it’s because these statues are too old or for some other reason, but they always give people a vague feeling.

That is, you know its shape, but it is difficult to identify its facial features, even though it clearly has facial features.

It feels like they are from another space, another civilization, making them hard to see clearly.

Gu Jiu didn't think much about it and continued to move forward. If there must be any clue here, it would only be that platform.

This platform is located in the center of this huge space and looks like an altar.

When you get here, the traces of human renovation become obvious, unlike the previous pillars and sculptures, which are between artificial and natural.

The platform was dark green in color, with stairs on all four sides, and four braziers at the four corners of the platform.

The flames in the brazier burned so fiercely that they looked like a bunch of ghost faces.

Gu Jiu walked up and felt that the stone steps were covered with a layer of sand. As he walked, the sand seeped into his shoes because there were holes in the soles of his shoes.

"Weathered?" Gu Jiu frowned as he walked up step by step.

Soon, he reached the platform and saw a house.

A room suddenly appeared on the altar, and Gu Jiu was quite surprised.

The room looked like an enlarged coffin box, only with windows.

Gu Jiu walked towards the house and saw that the window paper had rotted into a paste. Under the green light of the fire, it looked a bit creepy.

Gu Jiu stood in front of the window, his brows slightly raised.

There was no bed, no chair, no table in the room, only a well.

How could there be a well in a house like this?

Thinking that he had come out of the well before, Gu Jiu couldn't help but wonder if this well was also the entrance.

But in this strange coffin-like house, there is only such a well, which makes even Gu Jiu a little puzzled.

Gu Jiu pushed open the door and walked towards the wellhead.

The room was dimly lit, with only the green light from the fire outside shining through the window.

Gu Jiu was still a little wary of this well because he remembered the shadow that Sadako had cast on him in his childhood.
