After a while, they finally returned to the Rainbow Academy before nightfall.

The gray-robed disciples who were guarding the entrance to the valley let them in after checking their waist cards.

They went straight to the deacon hall and gave Jiāo the task of Biling Snake.

Luo Lao was on duty at the Deacon Hall today. Although he was surprised that they only took three days to hunt the Biling Snake, he didn't ask any further questions, as long as the task was completed.

After confirming that it was correct, Veteran Luo gave them five middle-grade spirit crystals.

Everyone happily left the deacon hall. After returning to the residential area, they did not go back to their own rooms, but gathered in Gu Jingchen's room.

They were all very curious about the ancient ruins, and they all wanted to see what was written on the manuscript.

The manuscript was a scroll of parchment, which seemed ordinary, but when Gu Jingchen and the others wanted to open it, they found that it was not so simple.

This scroll of parchment seems to be sealed by some mysterious force, no matter how many ways they try to open it, they can't do it.

The group tried to tear it, blister it, cut it with a knife, and finally even tried to burn it with fire, but there was no way to open it.

"Hey... Forget it, it seems that we have nothing to do with this ancient ruin." Puyang Boyan sighed and sat on the ground, thinking that he would get some adventure! It seems that he is still thinking too simple.

Gu Jingchen frowned tightly, staring at the parchment roll that could not be opened no matter what, thinking about what methods he had not tried.

"Or... I'll call Xiao Bai?" Cheng Yifan had a brainstorm and thought of Bai Jin. Although Bai Jin is not of high rank, he is a talisman master. Will you know how to lift the seal?

"Alright, Xiao Bo, go and call him over."

In the end, Gu Jingchen decided to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor and called Bai Jin to come and have a look.

"Okay!" Puyang Boyan flew out and quickly dragged Bai Jin, who was about to sleep, out of the room.

Bai Jin's face was stunned, and she was dragged into Gu Jingchen's room. She sat down at the table and put the sheepskin roll in front of him.

"Open him."

"Ah?" The incident happened suddenly, and Bai Jin has not recovered yet, not to mention that he is already sleepy, and even his head is not very easy to use.

"Tsk!" The anxious Puyang Boyan was about to urge him, but was stopped by Cheng Yifan.

Cheng Yifan patiently explained to Bai Jin the origin and use of the parchment scroll, and then talked about the problems they are encountering now. Bai Jin now understands it.

He took the parchment and studied it carefully, and finally closed his eyes and felt it.

Seeing how serious he was, everyone couldn't help but hope, and they all looked at him with breathless eyes.

"This is indeed an ancient scroll with a history of at least a thousand years. It was sealed with spiritual power. With my ability, it was impossible to break it open, but it has been so many years now. , the power of the seal on this ancient scroll has weakened a lot... I think I can try it."

"Really?!" Everyone was overjoyed, this was really a big surprise.

"I'll give it a try... don't get your hopes up..."

"It's okay, you can try it!"

Having said that, everyone still stared at him for a moment, which made Bai Jin feel a lot of pressure.

Bai Jin is a talisman master. The talisman he made is to use a specific magic to seal the small formation with spiritual power in the talisman. Now the seal of the parchment scroll is the same, he only needs to use the unseal. The law is determined, the spiritual power that can overwhelm the power of the seal is sacrificed, and the seal can be lifted.

It's simple to say, but it's actually not that easy to do. The first is the magic decision to lift the seal. There are only two basic ones. The second is his spiritual power. Although the day and night practice during this period has finally improved , but has not yet reached the intermediate level.

Most of the power of the seal on this ancient scroll has dissipated, and there is still a 10% or 20% chance of unlocking it.

But there is no other way at this moment, a dead horse is a living horse doctor.

Bai Jin recited the formula in his heart, pierced his fingertips, and dripped two drops of blood on the seal. Then, he drew several complicated figures in the void, increasing the output of spiritual power.

For a time, the seal of the parchment roll was golden, and there was a real tendency to open up!

Everyone didn't dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing Bai Jin's spellcasting. It was the first time they saw Bai Jin cast spells, and it was quite novel.

"Okay." After half an hour, Bai Jin withdrew his hand sweating profusely, and fell backward weakly. Fortunately, Cheng Yifan gave him a quick hand, otherwise he would have smashed it firmly. on the ground.

"Quick, help him to go to bed to rest." Bai Jin's appearance showed that his spiritual energy was exhausted, and there was no other way but to rest.

Puyang Boyan and Huo Tianfang immediately stepped forward, and together they lifted the person to the bed and let him have a good rest.

There was a trace of excitement on everyone's faces, but they didn't expect the seal to be opened by them!

Gu Jingchen stretched out his hand, pinched the edge of the seal, and slowly opened it. The contents of the handwritten note were finally slowly presented in front of everyone.

Unexpectedly, the content of the manuscript is pitiful, only four sentences.

After all, in the middle of June, the scenery of West Lake is not the same as the four seasons.

The lotus leaves in the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers in the sun are different red.

Cheng Yifan is no stranger to this poem. It is the work of Yang Wanli, a poet in the Song Dynasty, but he did not expect to see it again in an ancient manuscript. Could it be that there were people from Earth who traveled to this different world thousands of years ago?

But there is no point in pursuing these now. There must be some important information hidden in this simple verse.

"Do you know West Lake?" Cheng Yifan asked curiously.

"Of course, the West Lake is in Chenhui Country!" West Lake is a very beautiful lake that is famous in Chenhui Country.

"Does this mean that we should go to West Lake in June?"

"What do the last two sentences mean?"

"Maybe it means the entrance is in the lotus pond?"

"No matter what, we have to go there and see."

"It's already April, and it's just another two months to go to the West Lake."

Chapter 209 Ancient Ruins

An ancient ruin hidden under the West Lake, don't know if it is true or not. Although everyone is skeptical, they have already decided to wait until June to go to the West Lake to take a look.

"I want to ask Mr. Wu." Gu Jingchen said after pondering for a while.

After all, Mr. Wu has a lot of knowledge, and he really wants to accept himself as a disciple. It can be said that he taught him all the money. Gu Jingchen is very grateful to him, so he plans to tell him about it and let him help him with it. make a decision.

"Alright." Everyone had no objection.

"It's getting late, everyone go back to rest..."

At this time, Gu Jingchen glanced at Bai Jin, who had occupied his bed and was completely asleep.

"..."

"Xiao Fan, I'll go to your room to sleep." Gu Jingchen said as a matter of course.

"Okay Okay..." Cheng Yifan's face flushed slightly, and he went back to the room with Gu Jingchen.

A good night's sleep.

The next day, Puyang Boyan couldn't wait to urge Gu Jingchen to show the handwritten note to Mr. Wu. Gu Jingchen had no choice but to go for a run.

Mr. Wu had the habit of meditating on the top of the mountain every day, and Gu Jingchen waited nearby. After he finished meditating, he stepped forward to salute.

"Old Wu."

"Humph! Call the master!"

"……master……"

"You kid...!! What did you call me just now?"

"Master." Gu Jingchen called again with a smile. Over the past few days, Mr. Wu has benefited a lot from his teaching. Although he does not have the name of master and apprentice, he already has the truth of master and apprentice. In this case, Why bother to stick to one name?

"Good! Good boy!" Wu Lao laughed happily and patted his shoulder hard, his joy beyond words.

"Master, my disciple has something to do. I want to ask you to help me come up with an idea."

"Oh?" Wu Laoyi was interested, "Tell me about it."

Gu Jingchen told him about the fact that they met Xie's family on this mission and got the ancient manuscripts and Tianyan Yuyne. He couldn't help frowning when he heard that they had taken the risk to break the seal.

"Nonsense! It's bullshit! Can this ancient seal be broken easily by a hairy boy? If one does not do well, it is counterattacked by mana, and it is not necessarily an idiot at that time!"

Only then did Gu Jingchen know that what they did last night was too risky.

"Show me the manuscript."

Gu Jingchen quickly took out the manuscript.

Looking at the four verses written on the notebook, Mr. Wu fell into deep thought.

"Then West Lake is within the territory of Chenhui Kingdom. It is a place with excellent feng shui, but although the scenery is beautiful, there are also many dangers. High-level demons often appear, but not just anyone who dares to go there." Old Wu said solemnly.

"June..." He touched his chin and said again, "June is the blooming season of Chenhui Kingdom. Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, maybe it is the blooming season of lotus flowers in the West Lake."

"Then we..." Gu Jingchen's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he felt a sense of leaping to try.

"Humph! The ancient ruins are not easily accessible. Just looking at this seal, you will know that there must be restrictions everywhere, and there are many dangers." Wu Lao frowned.

"These disciples are all clear, but that relic was left by the ancient Supreme Tian Yanzi. Tian Yanzi was the most outstanding spiritual planter in the Lingwu Continent. The relics he left not only have his inheritance, but also have a lot of There may be the treasure cauldron and the strange fire that he left behind..." Gu Jingchen actually wanted to go, because the treasure cauldron and the strange fire were very helpful to Cheng Yifan.

"Ancient Supreme Tianyanzi?" Wu Lao didn't expect that the ruins were left by the famous planting master. He suddenly smiled softly, "Could it be that your junior brother is really lucky? Chances are endless?"

Mr. Wu knew that Gu Jingchen and his junior brother Cheng Yifan were very fond of him. He had seen that little guy before. He was a very good child, and he was very lucky. He would always have a good chance to come to the door. It's just tailor-made for him, and it's not okay to be unconvinced.

"Since the ruins were left by the ancient supreme, the danger is even worse, you are still too weak, you should have waited a few more years, and then you will go back when you grow up, but this seal has been opened, I am afraid that the ancient ruins It will open soon..."

"That……"

"I see more people going together."

"Ah?" Gu Jingchen was a little reluctant to hear that.

"Hmph, I know that you are interested in the treasure cauldron and the different fire seeds, and you will keep both of them. As for the other things, I will distribute them later."

"That's fine!" Gu Jingchen smiled, as long as the good things belonged to his lover.

"Hey, you kid! It's so protective of the calf!"

In this way, the trip to West Lake in June is set.
