C175 (2/2)

The two of them landed on the ground. Only now did Jun Linyue finally see the spectacular scene before him. On both sides were walls as tall as two people. There were blue pendants hanging from them, including shells, sea cucumbers, spiraling crystals, starfish, and other oddly-shaped stones. They shone like stars, brightening up the dark tunnel. However, this light was even brighter than the darkness. No matter how bright it was, it wasn't as bright as the wick in the old man's hand.

Looking carefully, one could see that every crystal, or jade, had a small hole dug in the wall. Some of the smaller crystals were hung on a red rope while some of the bigger ones were placed in the hole. However, when one looked on the two sides of the wall, they would see that they were filled with crystals that were twinkling in the sky. Some of them even made a crisp sound when the wind hit them, which was very pleasant to listen to.

Jun Lanyue was still in shock when he asked, ”Uncle, shouldn't they have shattered each other into pieces?” The old boatman smiled and said, ”Of course not. They are the toughest stones in the world. They are not ordinary blades that can cut through them.”

Jun Linyue contemplated for a moment before asking, ”Uncle, how long have you been collecting these crystals?”

Eldest Uncle held the lamp and sighed, ”It must be over a hundred years of history. Ever since I was your age, I've loved to collect these things. All of the cold crystals are basically here. ”

At this moment, Jun Lanyue suddenly realized something. Just like what uncle said, if there were crystals buried underground and they suddenly disappeared, then the ecology would be unbalanced and there would be no way to control the local temperature. Then the war would come soon. Because people would always move towards places that were suitable for them to live in, this subtly exacerbated the contradiction between having resources and having no resources. It would be strange if there was no war.

However, he didn't dare to say it out loud. The old man in front of him seemed to be over a hundred years old. Since she had already told him, she wasn't afraid that he would speak of it. Even if he was lucky enough to obtain Chi You's blood essence, which could increase his strength by several times, he still couldn't take the risk of confronting the entire world, because the world's masters still had an endless stream of power awaiting him.

Jun Lanyue was extremely nervous, as though he was preparing something for Qin Wentian to use. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the jade ornament in his pocket. Lord Zuo Si had once said that this piece of jade was cold in order to warm the poison in his body.

Although he didn't know what heat poison was, the effect of the jade ornament was obvious. Even though he did not know the origin of this jade ornament, he knew that the one who first knew of it was Lord Zuo Si. He had to bring this jade ornament back to He Zhou to inspect the Chief Officer. After that, he would enter the main hall to complete his task.

He was not a man who cared about the world.

As he thought of this, Jun Lin Yue continued, ”Uncle, I've already appreciated all of this, but it has really broadened my horizons. But now I think I have to leave, because I suddenly think of something, I want to rush back to Hezhou. As for what I have written, when I have time in the future, I will definitely come again. I hope that you can wait for me, as you have done this time. I will definitely not go back on my words. ”

The old man in front of him paused, and his voice came to an abrupt halt. Jun Linjian was so nervous that he almost couldn't stand straight. Although he was confident in his own cultivation, a person who was able to collect all the cold crystals in the world was definitely a terrifying person.

After a while, the old boatman slowly turned his head and said, ”It's alright, you can go now.”
