Chapter 534 Jihe Water Palace
The water palace is very huge, three hundred feet high, a thousand feet wide and long. The "Black Fish Dragon" came directly in front of it, and could not see the buildings behind it for the time being, so he didn't know how long it was.

But it is not gorgeous or fairy-like at all.

An ancient and rugged atmosphere blows in the air.

It was like a wild giant in primitive society who took an axe and a chisel, chiseled a hole in the mountain, and built a nest inside.

Another god came, wielding a giant sword, and with one sword he cut off the mountain peak from the mountain and threw it into the water, which became the water palace we have today.

Well, yes, it is shaped like a "half mountain".

A hole was carved out on the front of the mountain, and two time-stained stone slabs were erected to serve as a door.

The reason why Xiaoyu recognized it as the Water Palace at a glance was because there were four ancient "immortal seals" above the stone gate - Jihe Water Palace.

It is clearly written that this is a water palace!
Xiaoyu had never seen this kind of fonts before, but he could see many traces of "Taoist ancient seal script" in them.

It can also be said conversely that the ancient Taoist seal script that has been passed down to the present day bears more or less traces of this "immortal seal script".

"Jihe Water Palace. There is definitely no Jihe River in Western Shu. Have we really left the Black Dragon River area?

But we are clearly circling in a whirlpool, and although we have traveled a long distance, we are still spinning in the same place. "

Xiaoyu had never seen these "immortal seals", but recognized their meaning at a glance.

It was as if she had never seen the demonic writings before, but she immediately understood the deepest magical powers (laws) they represented.

Although these four words did not look like demonic writing that directly contained the laws of magical powers, they were in resonance with the surrounding water spirits and were quite powerful. They flashed bits of golden light, blocking the torrent from approaching the gate and creating a waterless space at the twenty-foot-high boulder gate.

There was only an area in front of the gate without water, while other places outside the Ji River Water Palace were still being washed by the rapids.

After the "Black Fish Dragon" drilled into the "eye of the vortex", it landed directly on the empty stone platform in front of the door.

The stone platform was a hundred feet in radius. It was not soaked in water, but very moist. A lot of moss-like things grew on its surface. They were slippery and soft, and gave off the fragrance of water plants. Xiaoyu inexplicably developed an urge to lie on the ground and nibble on the moss like a cow nibbling grass.

"Mom, why is there a hill here?"

"Grandma, are we dreaming?"

"Grandma, where are we?"

"Grandma, there are some water plants under our feet. They seem to be very sweet. Can I have a few bites?"

Xiaoyu came back to his senses and found the demon grandson who wanted to eat water plants alone. It turned out to be a grass carp.

It is natural for grass carp to eat aquatic plants.

But she is not a grass carp!

"Ahem, stop making noise!" Grandma Yu frowned and coughed lightly, silencing the demons.

They all looked over with their colorful eyes wide open.

"There is no doubt that we have encountered the legendary immortal fate, but this water palace should have an owner. Let's be polite and don't anger the immortals and gods."

"Mom, how do you know this is the Water Palace?" asked Black King Kong.

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "It says 'Jihe Water House', four characters that are bigger than your head, can't you see it?"

"I saw it, but I didn't recognize it." said Black King Kong.

"I don't know him either." The river monsters echoed.

"Well, when I have time, I will teach you how to read."

Xiaoyu just sighed and suddenly froze. She didn't know these four words, but she understood their meaning at a glance.

"Look carefully again. You don't need to learn these four words. You can understand them directly."

Black King Kong looked at it again and again, and still shook his head and said, "I don't understand it at all."

"What about you?" Xiaoyu looked at the demon grandchildren again.

The demons all shook their heads. "The few words we know were all taught by our foster father. If he doesn't know them, we certainly don't know them either."

"Strange." Xiao Yu held his breath and looked at the four big words on the door carefully again.

"Jihe Water Palace."

After watching for nearly half an hour, Xiaoyu finally found some clues.

After carefully reading this ancient seal script, the "Tao spirit" and "Tao rhyme" in her body had a faint reaction.

“Knowing these characters is just like learning Taoist martial arts and magic. You need to cultivate enough Taoist energy in advance.

In this case, this Jihe Water House is the predecessor of my Taiyi Xuanmen."

Xiao Yu turned his head thoughtfully and said to Hei Jingang and the others, "You should read more Taoist scriptures in the future and cultivate enough Taoist energy, which will bring many benefits.

In our Taiyi Xuanmen, Dao Qi is almost the foundation. Without Dao Qi, you can’t learn any immortal skills even if they are in front of you.”

"Mom, aren't we Buddhists? You asked us to read more Buddhist scriptures, so why did you change your sect and join the Taiyi Xuanmen?" Black King Kong asked in confusion.

Yu Gan's mother was stunned for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed, but she put on a stern face and shouted, "Is it not okay for your mother and I to practice Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism together?"

"We are fellow practitioners of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. So which one do you belong to and which one do we belong to?" asked Black King Kong.

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "You belong to the 'Yumen'! You learn whatever I teach you and do whatever I tell you to do. You just obey me.

First read Buddhist scriptures to remove the evil in you, then read Taoist scriptures to nourish your spirit, and finally use Confucianism as your backbone to establish the three correct outlooks and ideals, and be a good person who is useful to the world and the people! "

"Well, we are from Yumen, and we listen to our mother." Black King Kong looked embarrassed, "It's just that I'm dull and can't learn any one subject well. Let's practice three subjects together..."

"Learn slowly. As long as we don't die, we have time. Well, now open the door and go into the cave to take a look."

Yu Gan Niang said some nonsense and turned her gaze towards the stone gate.

After much hesitation, she still did not disband the "Black Fish Dragon Army Formation".

"I am the friend of Zen Master Wuchao and the disciple of the ancient Buddha Ran Deng. I am Yu Fengxian. I was harmed by a villain and was chased here by the villain. I accidentally came to the gate of Senior's Water Mansion. I hope I am sorry for disturbing you."

It would definitely be rude to call out at the door in the state of "Black Fish Dragon".

But what if there really is an old monster in there, and the old monster is cruel and ruthless, with a weird personality, and disregards her identity as "friend of Zen Master Wuchao" and "disciple of Buddha Dipankara", and directly kills her, the "Black Fish Dragon" can jump back to the rapids and run away quickly.

Between being more polite and trying to win the other person's favor, and being less polite but able to gain a chance of survival, Xiaoyu honestly chose to save his life first.

It was so quiet in front of the Jihe Water Palace that even the sound of water flowing outside could not be heard.

There were a few herbivorous demon descendants who were looking at the moss on the ground and swallowing their saliva, making loud noises.

After waiting for half a minute, Xiaoyu shouted again.

Still no response. "Mom, there shouldn't be anyone inside—"

"Do not talk!"

Heijin had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Xiaoyu's low shout.

After waiting for another half a quarter of an hour, Xiaoyu called again.

This was repeated dozens of times, and we waited for two days and two nights. Of course, we couldn't see the sunrise or sunset here, and couldn't tell the difference between day and night.

Xiaoyu and the other river monsters stood at the door, motionless, and their formation was not at all disordered.

"I am the friend of Zen Master Wuchao, the candidate disciple of the ancient Buddha Randeng, and the barbarian from the northern wilderness of the Western Sands. I, Yu Fengxian, was chased by villains and brought to your doorstep.

Please forgive my recklessness, I am about to push the door open. "

This time there is an additional identity of Shaman.

Xiaoyu certainly didn't expect this identity to have any deterrent effect.

The identity of "Shaman" is a kind of protection: Great Immortal, you see, I am a Shaman, not really rude, I just don't know etiquette and rules, I am rude and barbaric by nature, and I am not targeting anyone in particular.

So, please be magnanimous, and if you are offended, don't bother with a lowly barbarian.

The "Black Fish Dragon" threw the remains of the Azure Dragon on the ground, supported itself with its five claws, and tiptoed carefully to the stone gate.

"Boom~~" The stone door was very heavy, but the dragon claws of the "Black Fish Dragon" easily pushed open a gap.

It was not locked, neither a mechanical lock nor any restriction from magical or Taoist techniques.

Compared to the stone door, the gap in the door is very small. But this gap in the door is wider than the body of the strongest river monster.

"Grandma, I am willing to be the vanguard. You continue to maintain the 'Black Fish Dragon Army Formation'. I will leave the formation alone, shrink my body, and quietly go in to investigate the situation inside for you."

The fat grandson has a very high level of initiative.

Without anyone giving any orders or hints, he volunteered to be a fearless pathfinder.

Xiaoyu was reluctant to sacrifice one of his demon grandsons.

Not to mention that the fat grandson has spent the longest time with her and is usually very obedient. She doesn't want to sacrifice him for nothing.

"No need, just be careful and alert, I will investigate personally."

Xiao Yu did not leave the army formation, but just stuck half of the black fish dragon's head through the crack in the door and looked at it carefully with one eye.

Of course, her spiritual eyes of the heart had already been opened.

After making sure that no one was moving behind the door and that there was no fluctuation of spiritual power that could trigger the sense of crisis, the head of the "Black Fish Dragon" was inserted into the crack of the door.

It is empty inside, with no buildings. It is more than ten miles wide and at least twenty miles deep. There is a forest of trees, flowers and plants growing naturally inside.

"Ah, why is it so big? The mountains outside are not so big!" said the fat grandson in surprise.

Xiao Yu was only startled for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and said, "Even Monk Miao from the 'Eight Immortals of the West' and Master Xiang Tian from the Prince's Mansion are both proficient in the 'Pot of Heaven' technique.

This water palace has existed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and its owner must be a powerful ancient being.

Using the Pot in the Sky technique to expand the cave space is a piece of cake for the powerful."

"Boom!"

After making sure there was no danger behind the door, the "Black Fish Dragon" continued to push the stone door until half of the door was completely opened.

Xiao Yu looked back at the water monsters, hesitated for a while, and said, "Let's disband the army first."

The door was open, and although the scene inside was vivid, at least most of the area was in sight.

There were indeed no people or beasts.

It would be very inconvenient to continue maintaining the military formation and explore the water palace in the form of a huge black fish dragon.

"A friend of the younger generation Zen Master Wuchao."

Xiaoyu did not rush in, but stood at the door and introduced herself in a loud voice.

Half an hour later, there was no response from inside. She cut a piece of good meat from the Azure Dragon and knelt at the gate with the river monsters.

The dragon meat was placed on the stone steps.

"God, the Lord of the Water Palace is a spirit. If this Water Palace is not Yu Fengxian's opportunity, please warn this disciple!"

Xiaoyu kowtowed three times on the ground.

The river monster was confused, but still imitated her, kowtowed three times loudly without hesitation or trying to be sneaky.

For a long time, nothing happened.

Xiao Yu stood up, looked around the cave, then left the gate, cut another piece of dragon meat, and walked to the platform covered with moist moss.

She piled up stones to build a platform and offered dragon meat on the platform. She led the other monsters and knelt down, kowtowed three times, facing the endless torrent outside.

"The Ji River is ahead, and the Taoist master is spiritual. If this water palace is not the opportunity for Yu Fengxian, please give me some enlightenment."

There were no strange phenomena in the rapids.

Xiaoyu let out a long breath, an expression of relief and happiness on her face.

"Everyone, get up! God and the Water Palace Master have both agreed. This cave is ours!"

Black King Kong got up, walked to her side, and asked in a low voice: "Mom, will this really work?"

Xiao Yu said: "God, Daozu, and the Water Palace Master all have no objections, isn't that the effect?"

——The Water Palace is so ancient, and the Heavenly Dao Law in the Pot can still be maintained until now. This shows that the owner of the Water Palace must be very powerful, a real great man, and most likely still alive!

Regardless of whether this opportunity is ours or not, we should at least give it a try.

If we really encounter a powerful person causing trouble in the future, we will have an excuse: I used dragon meat to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and you didn't object!

Black King Kong didn't know what his godmother was thinking, and said simply: "If mother sincerely asks the heaven and earth and the Taoist ancestors, she should say, 'If this opportunity belongs to me, please give me instructions'!

Only when a vision appears can it be truly proven that Daozu, the heavens, the spirit in the water, and the Lord of the Water Palace have all approved it. "

Xiao Yu gave him a death stare, "You are just a black fish spirit, and I am a mortal, who are you? How dare you trouble the Taoist Ancestor and the Lord of the Water Palace to come to this cold and damp abyss, and even spend your great power to show you a 'vision'?"

——If Daozu and Tiandi disagree, we still have to trouble them to come to this cold and damp abyss and show the "vision"!

Black King Kong grumbled in his heart, but he knew that his godmother was already unhappy, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
