C1203 Scenic Spot
The actions of the cultivator were naturally not true.
He did it to draw out the root.
The wind changed, and the princess suddenly said that she felt uncomfortable and wanted to go back to rest.
The king immediately ordered the maidservants to bring the princess down.
When the princess returned to her room, she immediately had someone close the door. Then, she sat cross-legged on her bed and started to chant some kind of secret spell.
At this moment, the king, who was watching the practices of the cultivators by the side of the lotus pond, suddenly saw the rootless lotus flower grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then, he actually swallowed the cultivator that was in the process of doing so in one gulp.
Ah!
Screams instantly sounded from the surroundings.
Even the king and queen fainted from fear.
When they woke up again, they found that they had already returned to their own sleeping quarters while their precious daughter guarded their bedside.
"Darling, are you alright? You can just go back. It was too scary back then, too..." As the king spoke, he could not continue.
The queen quickly asked, "Darling, how is the water doing?"
The princess hurriedly replied, "I'm not sure either. I'll be taking a rest when I get back. By the time I woke up, the pond had already returned to normal and I didn't see anything wrong with it!"
Then the king and queen looked again, and found nothing wrong.
Besides, they didn't have the guts to drain the water below to see what was going on.
Thus, they could only silently accept this fact.
Later on, the palace maids would disappear from time to time, and many of them would pass by the lotus pond.
In the end, very few people left that place, unless they had to.
until the old king and queen died,
It is said that all the lotus flowers in the pond disappeared that night, even the princess.
And the matter of the Man-eating Lotus became a legend.
"It's gone just like that?" Zhou Yi asked speechlessly.
"Ah, no!" Ju Zhong nodded. He had already said it was a legend, so it was definitely a legend.
Zhou Yi looked coldly at Ju Zhong and said, "I was here listening to your story for so long." Zhou Qing doesn't even need to go to bed with me anymore! "
After saying that, Zhou Yi was about to hang up.
"Hai, don't hang up. Don't hang up. I'm not done yet!" Ju Zhong successfully attracted Zhou Yi's attention before he hung up the phone.
"I'll give you one minute to go up!" Zhou Yi said.
Ju Zhong quickly said: "Although it's just a legend, but do you know, this legend has a prototype. That pond is still being preserved right now, in that X city's landscape protection zone. It will …"
Du, du, du …
Before Ju Zhong could finish his words, the other side hung up the phone and tore open the space to come to the place Ju Zhong mentioned.
This was a very large nature reserve.
Maybe it was because Zhou Yi came at the wrong time, so there was no one here.
Using the Divine Soul Power, he felt that apart from himself, there seemed to be only a few staff members here, and there were no other tourists in the mountain.
Zhou Yi sent a message to Ju Zhong, then went into the scenic area alone.
Zhou Yi didn't expect the scenery to be so close to nature. Many of the things here remained the same without any traces of manpower.
Zhou Yi used the Divine Soul Power to search the pond, while looking at the map that the worker gave him when they entered the mountain.
The staff member had instructed Zhou Yi, "You must come back before sunset. If you don't, you must spend the night in the safe house marked on the map."
The staff also told Zhou Yi that wild beasts existed in this mountain. Although there haven't been any cases of wild beasts harming people for a long time, it was better to be careful, especially since Zhou Yi was alone.
Zhou Yi looked at the map. The nearest safe house was about a few kilometers away from him.
However, the map did not specify the location of the pond.
Zhou Yi asked the staff about the pond.
"You couldn't have also heard of the legend of the Man-eating Lotus, so you came here to look for the Man-eating Lotus, haha, the legend says that the pond was actually here, because at that time, the king and queen died, and the princess disappeared, causing the palace to become a pile of ruins overnight. After going through the changes in history, they became a member of the nature."
A lot of people came here to look for the pond, but very few people found it. However, last year, it was said that a young man found it, and he even said that the Man-eating Lotus was still in the pond.
Therefore, Zhou Yi's information was that the Man-eating Lotus might really be here.
No matter whether this information was true or false, even if he had to flip the entire scenery tonight, he still had to find that Man-eating Lotus.
Thinking about this, Zhou Yi quickened his pace. Since they were in the scenery now and there was no one here, Zhou Yi didn't need to worry about being seen by normal people when using his cultivation.
As a result, a shadow would occasionally appear in the dense forest.
However, the scenic area was too big. With Zhou Yi's speed, he walked around the entire area for an hour and still wasn't able to finish.
Then, Zhou Yi found a slightly more spacious spot and stopped.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, planning to use Divine Soul Power to search for the pond.
However, after hundreds of years, he felt that the pond was definitely not the kind of pond that ordinary people would think it was. Perhaps it had already been covered by the sandstorm, or perhaps it was already filled with trees.
"Trees?" Zhou Yi's eyes suddenly opened.
If he remembered correctly, somewhere in this scenic area, there was a particularly lush tree, and the fallen leaves on the ground also seemed heavier than in other places.
Zhou Yi rapidly replayed the location of the forest in his mind. Then, his body flashed, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived in the forest.
Zhou Yi looked at the unusual forest carefully.
The surrounding trees were mostly made up of parasol trees and poplar trees, but there were more than a dozen maple trees growing here alone.
Although it was not yet the season for red maple leaves to float about, the color of the maple leaves here was outrageously red.
There was a thick layer of maple leaves on the ground, making it look like a pool of fresh blood from afar.
Zhou Yi walked on top of the fallen leaves. He felt that the fallen leaves were softer than other places. When his feet stepped on them, it was like stepping on a cloud.
Zhou Yi leaned over and slowly picked up a maple leaf from the ground.0
There didn't seem to be any difference when it passed through the sunlight.
Ka-cha! *
Zhou Yi threw away the maple leaf in his hand. When he walked forward again, a crisp sound came from under his feet.
Zhou Yi's footsteps paused. Then, he slowly lifted his foot and realized that he had stepped on something. And that thing looked like a bone...
