Chapter 197 The river flows back into Lingyun Cave
Lingyun Cave is home to a mythical beast, the Fire Qilin, which is why it is so hot and dry. Even in winter, it is still as hot as a sweltering summer.
This mythical beast, the fire unicorn, is said to have a different origin.
It was originally the mount of Emperor Xuanyuan Huang. Later, after Emperor Xuanyuan flew to the immortal world, he kept it to guard the dragon veins deep in Lingyun Cave.
This dragon vein is related to the luck of the land of China and is very precious. In order to prevent it from being obtained by evildoers, the mythical beast was left behind to take care of it.
The strength of the Fire Qilin is so great that even the tyrants would not dare to explore it, otherwise, he would have obtained this dragon vein long ago.
It stands to reason that Yang Peng's current strength should not be a match for Xiongba, so it is even more impossible to defeat the sacred beast Fire Qilin. If he enters Lingyun Cave, wouldn't he die in vain?
What I want to explain here is who made Yang Peng a time traveler.
He had watched "Wind and Cloud" countless times, and he was already familiar with the situation inside the Lingyun Grotto. He knew very well how to obtain the treasures in the Lingyun Grotto.
Yes, he is no match for the mythical beast Fire Qilin, so what if he can defeat the Fire Qilin?
Without the protection of the fire unicorn, wouldn't the treasure inside be left to him to claim?
Fire Qilin has always been
Staying in the depths of Lingyun Cave, where the dragon veins are located, he is sleeping and rarely wakes up on weekdays.
There is only one reason why it can get out of Lingyun Cave, and that is when the river rises and floods the Buddha.
At the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha, there is a big river that flows endlessly. Every year, it has a period of rising water. At this time, the river level will continue to rise, and the giant Buddha will be flooded.
Lingyun Grottoes are at the foot of the Giant Buddha, so naturally they are not immune.
The Fire Qilin is a fire-attributed beast, and water is its nemesis. At this time, it will escape from the Lingyun Cave and avoid the flooded cave.
Yang Peng glanced at the surface of the river. At this time, the surface of the river was calm, and there was still a long time before the water rose.
Yang Peng has no patience to wait here forever, waiting for the river to rise.
Therefore, he decided to artificially force the river water to pour into Lingyun Cave.
what to do?
Logically speaking, the best way is to cut off the flow of this river and block all the water at the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha. In this way, the river will continue to rise in an instant, and even pour into Lingyun Grottoes.
However, there is a problem here.
This river is so vast that it would be impossible to complete such a large project without spending huge amounts of manpower.
If he were in the world of Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, he could easily do it.
Because, as the emperor of the Great Yi Empire, he could use millions of workers to cut off the river.
But here, he was unfamiliar with the place. How could he mobilize so many workers to help him cut off the river?
Even if it could be done, such a big movement would inevitably wake up the Fire Qilin sleeping deep in Lingyun Cave.
To be able to become the mount of the Yellow Emperor, this fire unicorn should have certain intelligence. If it discovers that Yang Peng is playing tricks on it and deliberately cuts off the river flow, it will inevitably be chased by it, and the consequences will be disastrous.
This method was immediately rejected by Yang Peng.
After thinking about it, Yang Peng finally made a decision: not to intercept the flow, but to divert it.
Wouldn't it be easier and less labor-intensive to introduce the river water into Lingyun Grotto?
For example, if a cave is dug at the bottom of the river and leads directly to the interior of Lingyun Cave, wouldn't the river water flow continuously into the cave under the influence of pressure, gradually submerging it?
The more Yang Peng thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.
Especially in the water, he is an expert.
With the constant internal support of the "Secret of Immortality", he can hold his breath underwater for several months without any problem.
Moreover, he also has the underwater kung fu "Flying Fish Technique". If something unexpected happens while digging the hole, he can hide in the water and easily avoid the fire unicorn's attack.
In the original work, since it is written that the fire unicorn will escape from the cave when the river surges in order to avoid water, it means that it is afraid of water.
Since he has a weakness, it's easy to deal with. No matter what happens, if he hides at the bottom of the river, wouldn't he be invincible?
Even the fire unicorn can't do anything to him.
Having made up his mind, Yang Peng immediately dived into the river and kept diving.
"This river is really deep!"
Yang Peng had dived at least a few hundred feet away and had just reached the bottom of the river.
He thought about it, and only such a deep and vast river could pose a threat to a mythical beast like the Fire Qilin.
At this time, Yang Peng couldn't help but think that since he knew that the cave would be flooded when the water rose, why did Huangdi Xuanyuan bury a divine object like the dragon vein deep in Lingyun Cave?
Moreover, he chose a fire-attributed beast to protect him.
Generally speaking, if it is a water-attributed divine beast, Yang Peng would never dare to flood the cave with water to steal treasures.
With the Yellow Emperor's supreme power, it was impossible for him to fail to think of this.
But even so, he still hid the treasure Dragon Vein in Lingyun Cave, which is on the edge of the river and may be flooded by the river at any time. Could there be some deep meaning in it?
As the Taoist saying goes, the Great Dao is fifty and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, leaving a glimmer of hope.
Could it be that this is the glimmer of hope left by the Yellow Emperor to future generations?
Yang Peng couldn't understand. Of course, now was not the time to think about this. Since the opportunity was right in front of him, let's give it a try.
During the next period of time, Yang Peng kept holding his breath at the bottom of the river, digging a hole, leading directly to the interior of Lingyun Cave.
In the past few months when he was rushing from the ice field to the middle-earth, he had been studying the twenty-two sword techniques while traveling, and had already mastered the first sword.
To practice Sword Twenty-Two, you need to consume the innate true essence. If you want to obtain the innate true essence, in addition to killing enemies and grabbing treasures, you can also practice it yourself and condense it.
In the past few months, he had gathered nearly 10 points of innate essence, and thus learned Jianyi through the system.
It is indeed a swordsmanship that can dig out a huge cave from the extremely hard ten thousand-year ice. Its excavation technology is top-notch.
Yang Peng used Sword 1 and kept digging through the Dongming Sword. Within a few days, he was almost reaching the cave floor.
However, at this time, a change occurred.
The floor of the cave made a roaring vibration, as if some giant beast was stamping on the ground frantically because of anger or restlessness.
It seems that Huo Qilin was awakened from his deep sleep.
The reason why it woke up may be because the noise caused by digging into the ground woke it up.
It may also be that out of instinct, you feel that a crisis is coming and wake up.
No matter what the reason was, it woke up anyway.
"As expected of the Yellow Emperor's mount, this physical strength is so strong, and the stomping of these little feet is earth-shattering, so powerful!" Yang Peng smiled slightly and couldn't help but joke in his heart.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to delay his excavation plan because of Fire Qilin's chopping of feet.
Because he is in the water, even if he encounters the Fire Qilin, he will be invincible. At worst, he can use Fei Yu Jue and immediately escape into the bottom of the river. If the Fire Qilin dares to jump into the river, then it will be only a few seconds away from death.
Not far away.
Just in time, Yang Peng could take advantage of the opportunity to harvest another wave of Qilin blood.
The hero Yu Yue, Chu Chu's father, just because some unicorn blood was splashed on his arm, evolved into a unicorn arm with terrifying power and not afraid of high temperatures. If Yang Peng killed the fire unicorn and released the unicorn blood to bathe, then
Didn't his whole body become like a unicorn's arms, extremely powerful, his strength increased dramatically, and he was not afraid of any high temperature of fire?
