Chapter 137 Rain of Pear Blossom Needles
Gou Zi pouted and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but the words that the stinky woman had said suddenly came to mind. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that what she said was not entirely unreasonable.
That's absolutely true! He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Sigh... It's all my fault for not finding that fragment and thus unlocking a completely new mode of space.
If I can successfully achieve this, my space will reach its maximum level. At that time, how could I be belittled by others into such a wretched state—that I can't eat anything and can't do anything right, that I'm just a useless piece of trash who only fails at crucial moments!
But what can he do now that things have come to this?
The only thing we can do is to do everything we can to find those crucial fragments!
Just as Gouzi was lost in thought, his mind wandering, Yun Juan seemed to have made a discovery.
Suddenly, an unusual light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her joy was undisguisedly revealed on her face.
"What did you find?" Gouzi, seeing his master's excited expression, quickly asked.
Yun Juan didn't intend to hide anything and said directly, "Didn't you notice? After that woman came out of the water, not a single drop of water was on her! Think about it, how can a normal person come out of the water without getting a drop of water on her? Unless she knows magic!"
However, at this moment, Gouzi clearly had not yet understood the deeper meaning of Yun Juan's words. He looked at her blankly and could only wait quietly for Yun Juan to explain further.
"What is the essence of magic? It's illusion, of course! It's about using other things to attract people's attention and create an illusion!" Yun Juan thought she had already guessed how the other party had gotten up here.
Even after Yun Quan finished speaking, Gouzi still couldn't understand, but he could roughly grasp that Yun Quan was saying that everything was man-made, not that this person was particularly magical.
"Let's go! Let's go and find out what the mechanism is to open it!" Yun Quan had already guessed that it was a mechanism, similar to an ancient secret room.
She was hiding in the bushes just now, and from her direction, she was parallel to the water's surface. You couldn't tell at all that a passage had been opened in the middle, and the person naturally came out of the passage!
All she could see was people walking out of the water!
It's just that the surface water has moved away, creating the illusion that a person is emerging from underwater!
Gouzi understood that when a person looks at something at eye level, they cannot see the trap in the middle; they can only see it when looking down at it.
It watched as Yun Juan walked towards the lake. She kept staring at the lake, as if she was thinking about where its trap might be!
"Do you think we'll lose our lives if we go down there?" Yun Juan hesitated about whether to go down. After all, she wasn't strong enough. If she went down and found herself in danger, not only would she not be able to save the person, but she would also lose her own life.
Gou Zi suddenly discovered that the hidden weapon, the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needles, in his space was usable. This was one of the hidden weapons of the Tang Clan, and its power should not be underestimated.
The silver spring-loaded box contains twenty-seven silver needles, ready to be released with swift and powerful force. If it can be called the best, no other hidden weapon can be called the second best. Every time the mechanism is triggered, blood will surely be drawn!
It's true what they say: when people are in dire straits, even God seems to be willing to give them a break!
"Master! Master! Look! What is this?" Gouzi shouted excitedly. He was usually full of resentment when Yun Juan asked him to call her "master," but now he shouted it out subconsciously in his moment of urgency!
Upon hearing the sound, Yun Juan hurriedly slipped into the space and her eyes lit up instantly.
"This...this is...a Tang Clan hidden weapon...Rain of Pear Blossom Needles?" She never expected to be able to unravel this at this moment, which truly flattered her!
This is a great cheating device. If anyone gets close to her, she can just open this thing and wipe them out without leaving a trace!
She walked quickly to Gouzi's side, and when she saw the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needle, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She held it tightly, reluctant to let go, as if afraid of breaking it!
"This is a good thing. It might come in very handy if we encounter danger." Yun Juan touched the body of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, she really liked this thing!
Gouzi chuckled and removed the core of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, handing it to Yun Juan. "Master, this gives us more security going down. Please put the needle back on as soon as possible!"
Yun Juan took it and installed it in just a few seconds. She carefully put the item away, and her worries lessened considerably.
She looked at the calm lake again, took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said, "No matter what, I have to try."
So the two of them carefully began to explore along the lakeside.
Yun Juan would occasionally crouch down to check the lake shore for any special markings or clues such as gaps or openings.
Gouzi followed closely behind Yun Quan, watching their surroundings warily.
Suddenly, Yun Juan touched a slightly protruding stone, pressed it gently, and a whirlpool slowly appeared on the surface of the lake.
"Found it! Found it this time! We can go down now! I knew there must be a trap!" Yun Juan shouted excitedly.
The two exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding with trepidation, and slowly walked down the steps formed by the whirlpool into the depths of the lake, gradually disappearing into the mysterious entrance at the bottom of the lake.
Yun Juan had no idea that there was such a different world down there!
Both sides of the passage were covered in burning mermaid oil. Yun Quan had never seen a real mermaid, only one in myths and legends. Now there were so many lamps made of mermaid oil.
She had also heard from legends that the oil in a mermaid's body has an extremely low ignition point, and a single drop can burn for several days. How much mermaid oil would be needed to make so many ever-burning lamps!
Yun Quan thought the person who built this underground palace must have been very wealthy!
Of course, mermaids are not only used for mermaid ointment; their eyes can also produce tears that turn into pearls!
Could it be that merfolk already exist in this world? I've never seen merfolk in the modern world!
Yun Quan had also seen records in the unofficial history that lamps made of mermaid oil were also called the Everlasting Immortal Lamp that Guides the Way!
The making of the fairy lantern is particularly cruel. When making the fairy lantern, the mermaid must be in a kneeling or supine position, with the wick placed in her belly and coming out of her mouth. After the wax is solidified, it is decorated with gold and jade, making her look like a fairy!
Yun Juan could only sigh softly, for the mermaid lamp had caused countless merfolk to suffer.
She naturally understood that she couldn't suffer for them right now, but every world has its own rules of operation, and Yun Quan had neither the ability nor the obligation to bear it for them. After all, she didn't want to disrupt this balance!
