"Okay." Haitang's eyes lit up.
I asked her to open her suitcase, took out a talisman, and put it on her back and under her neck. This would protect her Yang Qi from dissipating and resist the coldness in the water.
After that, they found a place to hide the suitcase, and the two of them went into the water together.
The water in the lake was bone-chilling and freezing. No wonder the two snake catchers screamed as soon as they got in.
Haitang's eyes were shining brightly in the dark lake water, and she was spinning happily in the water, really like a lively fish.
I have lived in Fentouling for so many years, but my water quality is far inferior to hers, so I can barely be considered a landlubber.
Swimming in the water is very different from walking on land. I pulled my hands and feet a little. I felt a little uncomfortable, so I simply used a body lock and sank to the bottom of the lake.
Haitang turned around flexibly and swooped down in the same direction as her head.
Generally speaking, the water in reservoirs is deeper than ordinary lakes, but this Laosong Reservoir is much deeper than ordinary reservoirs.
The further you sink, the colder the lake becomes.
As soon as I stepped on the mud at the bottom of the lake, I pressed my body and walked on the bottom of the lake like on land.
Begonia is like a lively little fish, swimming around me.
Begonias on the ground and begonias in the water are two different things, which truly embody the true meaning of the four words "like a fish in water".
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed towards him, and Haitang rushed forward and hugged him.
It was a large carp nearly one meter long. After being hugged by Haitang, it immediately started flopping in the water, but no matter what, it could not get rid of Haitang.
Although the little girl looks thin and small, she is very powerful.
The big fish was held by her for a while, and soon lost its strength.
At this moment, Haitang suddenly let go of his hand and looked back at me with a red face. The big fish had survived the disaster and quickly jumped away.
I knew what she was embarrassed about, and it was a little funny.
This little girl is a good fish catcher. She probably saw the big fish just now, and immediately felt the hunting spirit and rushed up out of habit. Then she suddenly thought something was wrong and quickly released it.
I went over and patted her, and then pointed at the big fish that escaped.
Haitang made a scratching gesture in confusion.
Seeing me nodding, she immediately widened her eyes and looked around.
Suddenly another black shadow rushed towards us, but when it was approaching us, it suddenly turned in another direction.
Haitang immediately shot out an arrow and caught up with the black figure first. His speed was astonishing.
I followed and walked over, and saw Haitang holding a big fish that was about the same height as her, and it was tumbling in the water. When the big fish was almost exhausted, Haitang waved her little fist and gave it to the big fish. Came three times.
The resistance in the water was so great that even an average adult wouldn't be able to punch with much force underwater, but when Haitang's three fists landed, the big fish was immediately knocked unconscious and was dragged back by Haitang.
Upon closer inspection, the fish looks very strange, especially its eyes. The eyeballs turned gray-white and shrank extremely small.
Opening the fish's mouth, a row of sharp teeth was found inside.
This was obviously a carp, but if it really got bitten by this thing, I was afraid that I would die in the lake.
Obviously, this fish has absorbed too much Yin energy over time and has changed its appearance.
We continued walking at the bottom of the lake for a while and found that except for the big fish like just now, there were basically no other living creatures such as shrimps and crabs in the lake, not even a smaller fish.
This means that only some big fish that can withstand the Yin Qi survive, and the others have died.
Except for the dark mud, there are no water plants at the bottom of the lake, and it is completely deserted.
I estimated the direction and took Haitang to the center of the lake.
After walking for a while, I gestured and asked Haitang if she wanted to breathe.
Haitang shook his head.
I found that once in the water, Haitang not only had better eyesight, but also her reaction speed and so on changed.
Others rely on holding their breath underwater, but Haitang seems to be doing more than that.
If this ability is really developed, maybe even if she is allowed to live underwater for three days and three nights, nothing will happen.
Just as he was about to continue walking, he suddenly felt like he stepped on something.
I squatted down and dug through the mud. Haitang saw this and swam over to help.
After picking it up a few times, I touched something hard and cold. I wiped away the mud on the surface and found that it was a piece of pig iron, covered with rust.
And it's not just the small piece we saw, there seems to be a bigger one hidden under the mud.
The two of us buried our heads and dug for a while, and found that this was not a piece of pig iron, but an extremely large thing made of pig iron, lying upside down at the bottom of the lake and covered by silt.
What we just dug out is just the tip of the iceberg.
In order to verify this speculation, we quickly moved a long distance at the bottom of the lake. As expected, we also found that kind of pig iron under the mud.
In several of these places, some charms carved on them were also found, which were used to gather Yin.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Haitang squatting there digging in the mud. He shuddered and spit out a few bubbles.
I knew something was wrong, so I immediately came to her side and saw something exposed in the place she had just dug.
It was a person's shoulder, and his head was cut off at the neck. Starting from the neck, the entire exposed body was covered with dark iron wire.
This scene was really terrifying. No wonder Haitang was so frightened that she almost choked.
I tried, but found that I couldn't pull out the headless corpse, so I had to continue digging for a while. I saw that the lower body of the corpse was also covered with wire, but its feet were cast in pig iron. , no wonder it can't be moved.
The skin and flesh of this corpse were shriveled, and it was unknown how long it had been dead, but it was extremely well preserved, with no signs of decay.
I broke off a piece of wire and pierced the headless corpse's left chest, and found that the other person's heart was on the left side, just like ordinary people.
After that, they dug several places one after another and found several more similar headless corpses.
Most of them had left-sided hearts, but one had a right-sided heart.
I took Begonia and dug out a few more bodies. Once I found another body with the right heart, I was basically sure that this Laosong Reservoir was one of the five prisons I was looking for.
Judging from various previous signs, those used to fill the five Taoist prisons are probably members of the Hai clan.
And since there are two corpses with right hearts here, it is unlikely to be a coincidence.
The reason why there are ordinary people on the left side of the heart here is that a large number of corpses are needed to build this large formation at the bottom of the lake, but there are not so many Hai clan members, not enough for them, so they find ordinary people to make up the number.
Thousands of corpses gathered in the shadows, this is the Lake of Thousand Corpses!
