Although Shen Shuibi was very happy, Li Qi was on high alert.
He knew that this was probably useless; if something really happened, Shen Shuibi would definitely notice it much sooner than him.
After all, this is a rabbit that can hear sounds from ten miles away just by its ears.
Even so, we should not let our guard down.
Old Ma, who had just regained his weight a couple of days ago, has lost a lot of it again. This time it's even worse; his eye sockets are sunken, and you can feel his ribs. He's been running around for another fifteen days, which has really exhausted him, and he's lost a lot of weight again.
However, all the hard work was worth it.
After such a long journey, we have finally found Lady Luofu.
Twenty miles further on, it didn't take long, only about ten minutes, before a canyon appeared before them.
Walking through the canyon, surrounded by white clouds, the valley is like a sacred mountain, with verdant cliffs on both sides. The only sound is the murmuring of the water.
However, the cliffs on both sides are steep and the canyon is flanked by cliffs that look as if they were cut by a knife. There are sharp stone slabs that stand up angrily. The peaks on both sides are like hanging in the air. The rocks are open and steep. The waterfall water flows down the wall and floats in the air. The water mist occupies the sun and the rainbow stands in the sky. It is dazzling and terrifying, yet amazing.
"This place... doesn't look like a naturally formed canyon?" Li Qi walked through it, feeling terrified.
The Baiyue region is mountainous, but none of its mountains are as steep and precipitous as this one. The valleys on both sides are nearly a thousand meters high, almost vertical. What mountain is this long?
It's more like a sword mark than a mountain.
A sword, a thousand meters wide and tens of miles long, left scars on this land, creating this terrifying canyon.
"Yes, it's right here!" Shen Shuibi exclaimed excitedly.
This entire canyon is filled with the aura of Your Highness!
"Yes, these are all the Earth Resonance Qi. As the ancients said: 'The great earth exhales, which is called wind. It is only when it is still that it is stirring. When it is stirring, all the orifices roar, but do you not hear the gentle rustling? The mountains and forests, the crevices of the great trees, are gently harmonious in the cool breeze, greatly harmonious in the gust of wind, and empty in the fierce wind. But do you not hear the melodious and turbulent sounds?'"
"Look at these plants and the water vapor on both sides. The plants sway in the wind, and the water droplets dance with them. Just like the holes in a large tree, which resemble a nose, a mouth, an ear, a ridge, a circle, a mortar, and a depression, the one in front sings and the one following sings back, urging, shouting, yelling, inhaling, calling, babbling, and wailing. This is proof that the enlightened one is here!"
Shen Shuibi excitedly gave a long explanation, not caring whether Li Qi understood or not, and pointed directly into the depths of the canyon. "The Your Highness must be just ahead! Let's hurry up."
"Be careful, take it slow. We've come this far, don't give up at the last step," Li Qi said, urging Shen Shuibi to slow down.
Fortunately, Shen Shuibi was obedient and suppressed her urge to run wildly. She pricked up her ears, listened carefully to the surrounding situation, and slowly moved forward while identifying the road.
Li Qi is right, this is the final step, we must not cause any unexpected complications.
The two men and one horse continued forward, only to find that the path ahead was winding and shady, with gnarled branches and old vines, intertwined with precarious rocks leaning against the cliff, and a waterfall cascading down from the sky, scattering across the valley.
Looking up at the cliffs, the mist drips like rain, and rainbows appear everywhere. Although the road is difficult to travel, the beautiful scenery makes people linger.
Fortunately, there was Old Ma, who could leap ten zhang in one bound and even fly briefly on clouds, so despite the difficult road, he could not stop the two.
As they walked to the end of the canyon, they saw a palace at the very end.
A proper palace!
Not far from the canyon, there was a large lake. Beside the lake, there were dozens of palaces with green tiles and flying eaves, stretching for six or seven miles, like a city. They were bright and enchanting, with low-hanging curtains and delicate red railings, and incense smoke filling the buildings.
The halls and pavilions were extremely magnificent, with lights illuminating the heavens and the earth, and the window curtains were extremely precious. There was also a tall building with a glass floor, made of all kinds of treasures and adorned with pearls, shining brightly, as if eighty-four thousand colors were combined into a colorful glass, so much so that Li Qi could not even look at it directly.
The building is eight stories high, and the light dissipates at the edges. The surrounding light spots resemble stars and the moon, making the tall building seem to be suspended in the void, which is extremely solemn.
Eight Qingfeng emanated from within, dispelling the cold mist and refreshing the senses.
The patterns painted on the pillars are like paintings from the heavens. The paintings depict ducks, geese, mandarin ducks, lotus flowers, carp, wisps of smoke, black apes offering fruit, deer carrying flowers, blue phoenixes dancing, colorful phoenixes singing, lions holding treasures, and cranes carrying lingzhi mushrooms. They are all lifelike and even move, as if they could leap out of the painting and become real if you just touched them.
The entire palace was magnificent and resplendent, like a molten gold. Li Qi was dumbfounded and didn't know how to describe the magnificent scenery before him.
Even in his modern era, he had never seen such a magnificent and intricately beautiful building; it was truly dazzling and radiant.
To Li Qi, those scattered specks of light looked like the Milky Way flowing backwards and cascading over the building, possessing an unbelievable beauty.
All the thousands of houses I've ever seen are now humble dwellings.
Even the Qinghua Palace in the Li River, which I had seen before, no longer seemed so awe-inspiring.
And this was actually just a temporary residence for Lady Luofu during her escape?
My God, what is going on...?
This... this.
Li Qi was so stammering that he couldn't even speak properly. Although he was still about two or three miles away from the great lake and the palace, he could no longer move his feet.
I was so foolish to try to judge a true deity with the eyes of an ant like myself... Now that I see her in person, I realize that I have greatly underestimated Lady Luofu's prestige.
However, just as Li Qi stopped in his tracks, shocked, Shen Shuibi's face instantly darkened.
This was the first time Li Qi had ever seen Shen Shuibi with such an expression, even revealing murderous intent.
"Your Highness is in danger! We must go quickly!" She grabbed Li Qi and tried to rush forward.
Li Qi was jolted awake, cold sweat instantly breaking out on his forehead. He quickly snapped out of his shock.
He quickly grabbed Shen Shuibi, held her tightly, and then forcefully dragged her back.
Then, he lowered his voice and roared, "Are you crazy! It's dangerous even for the Your Highness. If we go there, we'll be delivering vegetables to her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qi suddenly felt a tremor. His face flushed an unnatural red, and his heart felt like it was about to burst.
It turned out that there were heavy black clouds in front of the palace, with a deep and eerie atmosphere, as if they were showing some kind of evil presence.
Previously, because the scene of the treasure canopy was too magnificent and splendid, Li Qi did not notice the scene behind it at all.
Oh no, Lady Luofu is really in danger!
