A big living person, no one would have thought that he would be at the bottom of the lake, except Zhu Yuanyu who didn't think so.
There are many strange things in this world. Since there are ghosts and monsters, what's so surprising about a living person appearing at the bottom of the lake?
Zhu Yuanyu stood on the side of the boat, looking up at the bright half-moon in the sky. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the round spots on the moon are normal. However, Zhu Yuanyu also saw the moonlight before going out. The moonlight in the mansion was normal, and the faint silver light was very soft. The moonlight here by the lake is a little different. The same moon actually overflows with wisps of red light.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. This moonlight is enough to indicate that there is a problem at the lake. Wang Jinyi's disappearance may be related to it.
Therefore, the top priority is to find out the culprit of the problem. Then Wang Jinyi's whereabouts may be known, and there is no need to spend a lot of time looking for it.
Zhu Yuanyu also thought of a way. He planned to recruit a lonely ghost to come up and ask. It would be best if the body was buried at the bottom of the lake.
In order not to be disturbed, Zhu Yuanyu took out the talisman and set up a formation to form a barrier, so that anyone passing by would involuntarily take a detour and go away.
"Zhuangzhuang, stay here and don't move around." Zhu Yuanyu drew a circle for Li Zhuangzhuang. This was to prevent him from catching another Li Zhuangzhuang before Wang Jinyi rescued him in case of an emergency.
"It's the young master! I promise not to move!" Li Zhuangzhuang shouted excitedly knowing that Zhu Yuanyu was going to show off his magic skills again.
Looking at his expression, Zhu Yuanyu knew that he was imagining things again, so he smiled helplessly.
With his heart sinking, Zhu Yuanyu closed his eyes.
The night wind blew up his robe, and the black waist-length robes floated gently in the wind. Li Zhuangzhuang stared at Zhu Yuanyu's back with bright eyes full of admiration and expectation.
Ripples suddenly appeared on the lake, and the ripples grew larger and larger.
Li Zhuangzhuang felt a little cold. He rubbed the skin on his arms with his hands, and he could clearly feel goose bumps on the surface of his skin.
It was probably tea time. The wind stopped and the ripples on the lake disappeared. Li Zhuangzhuang had adapted to the sudden cold atmosphere. He suddenly saw his young master facing one direction, as if there was someone standing in front of the young master, and he heard the young master speak.
"How old are you?"
"How did you die?"
…
Zhu Yuanyu recruited a kid to come up.
The kid looked neat, but his face was pale and he stared at Zhu Yuanyu expressionlessly.
Zhu Yuanyu looked at it and realized that the kid's clothes were not something ordinary people could afford to wear. He also had a lot of resentment on his body, so he probably died in vain.
"Were you killed?"
The little ghost looked ferocious.
"I understand." Zhu Yuanyu muttered, "You do one thing for me and I will take revenge for you."
The kid stared at Zhu Yuanyu and nodded slowly.
Zhu Yuanyu took out his pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and painted on the ship's board.
After the painting was finished, Zhu Yuanyu stood up, pointed at the painting and said to the kid: "Have you seen this person?"
The painting on the boat board is a lifelike Wang Jinyi.
The kid looked at it for a while and shook his head.
"Well...then have you noticed anything different at the bottom of the lake recently?" Zhu Yuanyu asked again.
The kid thought for a moment this time and nodded, "There's something growing at the bottom of the lake." A childish voice said.
Zhu Yuanyu was a little surprised, thinking that the kid didn't want to talk so he would have to spend some time figuring it out.
"Do you know what it is?"
The kid shook his head and said expressionlessly: "Fuck, it's not close."
Zhu Yuanyu understood.
Presumably that thing growing at the bottom of the lake has a way of blocking things that try to get close to it.
"Let's do this. I'll give you a talisman. You can try it with it and see if you can get close." After saying that, Zhu Yuanyu took out the yellow paper and drew a talisman and handed it to the kid.
The kid took a step back and stared at the talisman in Zhu Yuanyu's hand warily.
Zhu Yuanyu suddenly realized and explained: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, this won't hurt you. Trust me."
The kid looked up and looked into Zhu Yuanyu's eyes, which were very sincere. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand to take the talisman.
Nothing happened, Xiao Gui was relieved, nodded to Zhu Yuanyu, turned around and disappeared.
Zhu Yuanyu stood quietly at the stern of the boat, waiting.
…
Not long after, a head emerged from the lake.
Zhu Yuanyu seemed to feel something, walked to the edge of the boat, and looked out.
The kid rose up, "There's that person down there. He's alive."
"Okay, have you seen clearly what's at the bottom of the lake?"
"Yes, one, lotus."
lotus? Zhu Yuanyu was surprised.
Why do lotus flowers grow at the bottom of the lake? And shouldn’t the lotus be pure and pure? How can the moon be dyed red? Could it be that the lotus at the bottom of the lake has turned into a monster?
No matter what, let’s rescue Wang Jinyi first.
Zhu Yuanyu jumped into the lake.
Li Zhuangzhuang opened his mouth. If he hadn't remembered that Zhu Yuanyu told him not to move, he would have rushed over and jumped down to follow the young master. Now he could only worry, but he also believed in the young master's ability. He knew that the young master would come out without any damage.
The kid saw Zhu Yuanyu enter the lake and sank with him.
Zhu Yuanyu doesn't just jump casually. His Turtle Breathing Skill has reached the level of perfection, so it's not difficult to dive into the water. In order to prevent the clothes from being penetrated by water, he used the halo in his body to form an aperture around him to block the intrusion of lake water.
The kid followed Zhu Yuanyu with a blank expression on his face, except for the occasional look of surprise in his eyes.
Zhu Yuanyu dived to the bottom of the lake. Although he could not see the lotus in the kid's mouth, he could already see the red light at the bottom of the lake clearly. I swam along the red light and didn't encounter any swimming fish along the way.
Zhu Yuanyu speeded up, and finally the lotus was close to his eyes, and the red light was also blooming.
After making a few hand seals, Zhu Yuanyu swung his body and swam over.
When he saw the lotus, Zhu Yuanyu was stunned.
At the bottom of the lake, in the center of the gravel, there is an ink-colored lotus leaf with a diameter of five meters, and a dark red lotus with a diameter of two meters. The most amazing thing is that the lotus actually blooms on the lotus leaf, with only one lotus stem.
Zhu Yuanyu took a look and found Wang Jinyi lying under the lotus leaves.
I swam over and saw that the lotus did not move.
When Zhu Yuanyu wanted to pull Wang Jinyi up and take him away, the lotus moved.
It was not the body of the lotus that moved, but a huge suction force suddenly generated around it, sucking Wang Jinyi tightly, as if it was glued.
Zhu Yuanyu tried to let go, but the suction power was gone.
Pull again, the suction increases greatly.
Release and the suction subsides.
There was nothing left to do now. If Zhu Yuanyu wanted to save Wang Jinyi, he could only see if he could take care of Lotus.
After adding a protective spell to Wang Jinyi, Zhu Yuanyu turned to face the lotus.
At the bottom of the dark lake, only the lotus glowed with red light.
The kid huddled behind a relatively large stone, stretched out his little head, and looked at Zhu Yuanyu numbly.
Zhu Yuanyu smiled at the lotus, and then took the talisman.
As if knowing that something was wrong, the lotus suddenly glowed red, and the silver moonlight could actually shine directly through the lake and onto the lotus itself.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanyu smiled even more happily.
The war is about to begin.
