Chapter 4196 Chilling

Chu Yang nodded solemnly, and then began the arduous journey of collecting materials according to the address left on the jade slip.

He didn't dare to slack off at all. Everywhere he went, he carefully searched for the required materials, not missing any corner.

Like an alert and vigilant hound, he shuttles nimbly through complex and ever-changing environments, keenly capturing every tiny clue. Soon, half a day passed in a hurry, and Chu Yang hurried to the outskirts of Huaqing Pool with the collected materials, where he met the long-awaited Leng Mingyue.

"I brought everything."

Chu Yang handed the heavy materials in his hand to Leng Mingyue. His forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, which shone brightly under the sunlight.

His breathing was also a little rapid, and his chest was heaving violently. It was obvious that it was not easy to come all the way.

His clothes were soaked with sweat and clung tightly to his body, outlining his strong figure, but he didn't bother to wipe them off.

"Everything you want is here. I hope nothing happens. It's what you want."

There was a hint of exhaustion in Chu Yang's voice, but more of it was the relief and satisfaction after completing the task. His eyes were full of expectation, like a burning torch, hoping that his efforts would be recognized and praised by Leng Mingyue.

Leng Mingyue took a rough look at the materials Chu Yang collected, her eyes focused and meticulous, not missing any detail.

After confirming that there was no problem, she felt relieved.

A satisfied smile appeared on her face. The smile was like the spring breeze blowing on her face, warm and soft.

and. She said to Chu Yang:

"Well done."

Her tone was full of appreciation and affirmation, and those words of appreciation were like beautiful notes, reaching Chu Yang's ears, making him feel a heartfelt warmth.

Then, Leng Mingyue's tone instantly became serious and nervous, and her eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, as if guarding against danger that might appear at any time.

She said to Chu Yang:

"Next, I will find a way to unlock the restrictions around Huaqing Pool, and you will be responsible for guarding the surrounding areas. Whenever you find any strange existence, you must control it as soon as possible and bring it to me when everything is over. I suspect that behind the scenes It is very likely that people are secretly paying attention to what is going on here in Huaqing Pool, and it is difficult for you and me to hide our actions from them." Her eyes showed deep worry and vigilance, and the worry was like a heavy dark cloud, weighing on her. heart, and that vigilance is like a sharp blade, always ready to deal with possible crises.

Chu Yang nodded, his eyes firm and decisive, as if he was showing his determination to Leng Mingyue.

Immediately, he spoke in a low voice: "At this time, you should tell me what other secrets are hidden in Huaqing Pool. Is it possible that you have to wait until you enter it before you tell me this?"

His eyes were full of eagerness and longing, and that eagerness was like a surging ocean wave, hitting his inner defenses one after another.

There was a hint of pleading in his voice, and the pleading tone was like a child lost in the darkness, longing for a glimmer of light guidance, hoping that Leng Mingyue could satisfy his strong curiosity.

Leng Mingyue's eyes flickered, her eyes

There was a flash of hesitation and struggle.

After a long silence, she slowly said: "Since you want to know this so much, I will tell you now. Huaqing Pool is not only the place where the case of deposing the crown prince occurred, but there are also secrets about our Zhou royal family hidden deep inside. Secret. As for what I have been refusing to tell you, it is this. I will tell you when you get inside Huaqing Pool. Maybe the person behind the scenes is hiding somewhere in the shadows. Listen quietly to the conversation between you and me." Her face became very serious, and she looked around with vigilant eyes, as if searching for potential threats in the darkness. Her body was tense, like a fully drawn bowstring, ready for any danger that might arise.

Leng Mingyue calmly ended the conversation between them. Although Chu Yang was curious about the secrets she mentioned about the Zhou royal family, he also knew that this was not the right place to discuss the matter, so there was no need to rush. Ask.

He thought secretly in his heart, and when he got to Huaqing Pool, what he should know would gradually appear in his eyes.

He was also curious about how many unknown twists and turns hidden in Huaqing Pool? The fog was gradually dissipating, and the first thing exposed to Chu Yang was Huaqing Pool.

This is very likely to have a deep and close connection with the careful planning of the group of people behind the scenes who are secretly stirring up the storm.

If the truth could be investigated clearly, perhaps the doubts that had troubled him and Leng Mingyue for a long time would be revealed one by one. By that time, the two of them may not have to fight for so many things like now.

Mysteries and annoyance.

While Chu Yang was thinking about this, Leng Mingyue was concentrating on trying to unlock the restrictions around Huaqing Pool.

The whole process was much more complicated than Chu Yang imagined. Her hands were dancing gracefully and quickly in the air, like dancing butterflies, forming complex and mysterious handprints.

Streams of brilliant light shot out from her fingertips, like brilliant fireworks blooming in the night sky, instantly blending into the seemingly invisible but indestructible restriction.

Her frown was like two locked city gates, revealing her inner tension and concentration.

She concentrated on controlling every ounce of power, not daring to be careless in the slightest, as if a slight oversight would result in all her efforts being wasted. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the beads of sweat slowly slid down her white cheeks, like crystal pearls, but she had no time to wipe them away.

In Chu Yang's eyes, her various arrangements were completely new and novel methods of breaking the ban, which was enough to prove that the person who originally placed the ban had great attainments in the field of ban.

Such elaborate arrangement is undoubtedly to hide some vital secrets in Huaqing Pool.

Even he can think of this. I am afraid that the mastermind behind the turmoil has spent a lot of time and thought on Huaqing Pool for so many years.

A slight noise sounded quietly in Chu Yang's ears, and the earth trembled slightly, as if a sleeping giant turned over in a dream. Leng Mingyue's voice suddenly sounded at this time: "Okay, come with me in. I have successfully unlocked the restrictions around Huaqing Pool. You and I can enter it now."

No more problems will occur. "

There was a hint of exhaustion in her voice, but more of it was the joy and anticipation of success. Her eyes shone with excitement, like the first ray of sunshine at dawn, full of hope and longing, as if a huge earth-shattering secret was about to be revealed.

Before leaving, Chu Yang asked Leng Mingyue: "Who was the person who set up the peripheral ban in Huaqing Pool before? With such a superb level, he must be famous within the Zhou Dynasty like you."

His eyes were full of admiration and curiosity. The admiration was like a traveler looking up at the mountains, and the curiosity was like an adventurer exploring unknown treasures.

Obviously, he was very interested in the identity and strength of the person who imposed this mysterious restriction.

His eyes shone with desire, expecting Leng Mingyue to give him an answer that would shock him.

Leng Mingyue replied concisely and concisely:

"The person you are talking about is the late emperor. Only a few people know about his accomplishments in the forbidden path, and he has concealed it very well for so many years. Maybe even those in the dark don't know that my father is in this path. I’ve been immersed for so long, but none of this matters anymore.”

There was a hint of sadness and helplessness in her voice. The sadness was like the fallen leaves in late autumn, floating leisurely on the silent lake, slowly creating ripples. That voice seems to carry the weight of time and memories of the past, which makes people feel pity.

Obviously, she also felt very sad about the sudden death of the late emperor and the secret hidden behind this restriction. That feeling is like a seed buried deep in my heart.

It took root and sprouted unexpectedly, touching the softest corner of her heart.

After a while, Leng Mingyue shook her head gently, as if to get rid of those complicated thoughts. Then she slowly put away her thoughts, and her eyes became firm and sharp again.

She looked at Chu Yang and said solemnly: "Let's go, pay attention to safety and be careful to trigger traps around you." Although her voice was not loud, it was full of unquestionable majesty.

"Okay!" Chu Yang responded.

His nerves became tense instantly, as if a bowstring was stretched to its limit and might break at any time. His eyes were widened and full of vigilance. He followed Leng Mingyue closely and continued to move forward with her.

Every step he took was like stepping on the tip of a knife, cautious and vigilant.

Every time I set foot, it seemed like I was making a life-or-death decision, for fear that a slight mistake would trigger unknown dangers.

Leng Mingyue walked steadily and looked straight ahead firmly. However, as she was walking, she suddenly stopped, her body froze for an instant, and her eyes were fixed on the ground not far ahead.

Her eyes were full of surprise and anger. The anger was like a blazing fire, hot and violent, seeming to burn everything in front of her into ashes.

Her lips trembled slightly, and her teeth clenched together, making a "gurgling" sound. He said with a cold voice: "You and I are still a step late. Someone came to Huaqing Pool before us."

There was a hint of reluctance and helplessness in her voice. The reluctance was like that of a child who had been taken away from her most precious treasure. She was full of grievances and anger and had nowhere to vent.

It's helpless and like facing an unchangeable fate

Luck, deep sighs and weakness.

Chu Yang frowned and looked nervously along the spot where Leng Mingyue's gaze lingered. His forehead was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat, and those sweat beads shone with crystal light under the sunlight. His voice trembled as he asked:

"Can you feel who arrived before us?" His voice was full of tension and anxiety, like a frightened deer frantically looking for a way out in the jungle.

The cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks like broken beads, dripping on the dry ground and disappearing in an instant, leaving only a small trace of moisture.

Leng Mingyue shook her head, still staring at the strange ground, and said coldly:

"No. But no matter who dares to covet the secret of Huaqing Pool before me, there will be no good end."

Her tone was firm and undeniably domineering.

Those words seemed to be an irresistible imperial edict, full of absolute authority and cold determination.

There was a cold light in her eyes, like a sharp blade, making people shudder.
