Since Yun Jin has said that Ji Qingling has good water properties, Yunnan feels that this elder brother in the clan will not harm him.
Ji Qingling looked at Yunnan's resigned expression. If he hadn't left here early, he would have wanted to kick him with his uninjured leg.
Then Ji Qingling held the rope with one hand, and Yunnan tied the other end around his waist. This way he didn't have to expend any effort, and Ji Qingling swam under the water with him.
Yunnan only needs to pull the rope when he needs to take a breather, which really saves a lot of time.
As for Ji Qingling, she didn't want to stand out too much. Every time Yunnan came up to take a breath, she also came up to take a breath.
The next day, the two finally moved the situation at the bottom of the lake to the sand beside the lake.
Yunnan's understanding of formations was indeed strong. He noticed many details that Ji Qingling had overlooked. When he put the formations at the bottom of the lake ashore, everyone fell silent.
Ji Qingling had previously displayed only a few obviously large rocks, but Yunnan had displayed all the small details, including what seemed to be just an ordinary small ditch at the bottom of the lake.
"Oh, look!"
Someone looked at it for a long time and said, "Doesn't this pattern look like a gourd with its rounded lines at the top and narrow at the bottom?"
Others also began to stand in his direction and observe, "It does look like it!"
A monk from the Jiang family said, "If it's a gourd, we have to be careful."
Ji Qingling was puzzled, "Why do gourds have to be cautious? Is there any different meaning?"
The man thought for a while and said, "From the perspective of Feng Shui metaphysics, the gourd is a yang thing that can suppress evil and yin. Therefore, the thing under the lake may not be related to our ability to leave, but to What are you suppressing?"
Ji Qingling sighed deeply in his heart. Isn't one unicorn and one giant tortoise enough?
Several people have died! Is this secret realm meant to kill them?
Ji Yuting sat down next to Ji Qingling in frustration, "Are we going to stay here for ten years? We can't practice for ten years, just for these magical medicines?"
"I think we can try to break this trap!"
"If something evil is released, we can just leave it here."
A group of people had two ideas. Some people suggested not moving and continuing to collect the elixir while looking for other exits.
The other group of people just feel that they cannot sit still and wait for death. They need to unlock the mechanism first. What if there is no evil thing at all and it is the exit?
For a while, the two sides were at loggerheads.
Among the three captains who had not participated originally, Jiang Songqing stood up and said, "Quiet!"
He walked to the crowd, "It's too early to say this now, let's find a way to break the mechanism first."
In the days that followed, Ji Qingling and the others stayed by the lake.
The giant turtle didn't come back and went somewhere unknown.
In addition to Ji Qingling and Yunnan, others also started to dive into the water, hoping to solve the mystery of this mechanism as soon as possible.
Then a month passed like this, and some people started to give up. Maybe they were really unlucky and had to stay here for ten years before they could get out.
Everyone has lost the brilliance of the immortal cultivators when they first entered the secret realm. Now they are hunting in the woods and flowers with sticks, and they are no different from savages.
All of them have gray faces and shabby clothes!
One of Ji Qingling's trouser legs was badly damaged because it was bitten by a giant turtle. She had to wrap the animal skin around her waist, which looked very wild!
She now finally understood why the savages in the past could not live long and spent too much time hunting to get food every day.
You also have to face attacks from other monsters, such as big rats like cats! He was the guy they encountered the most. This guy is extremely cunning and has sharp claws that are really difficult to deal with.
For one reason or another, their group has grown from thirty-six people to twenty-eight people now. The casualties are really too great!
It's only been a few months, and at this rate, within a few years, all the people will be gone!
Yunnan is even more exaggerated, as if he has grown up in front of the mechanism pattern he placed. He even sleeps next to it, looking obsessed.
If others don't give him food, he can go a whole day without eating or drinking and devote himself to it.
That day they found a wild boar in the woods, and everyone's eyes lit up. The food they had been looking for these days was really just enough free food.
These monks never knew that they could eat so much when they were not fasting!
The wild boar was finally frightened by these hungry tigers, and was finally made into pieces of roast pork to fill everyone's stomach.
When Yunnan was full, he felt sleepy. He wrapped himself in animal skins and lay down next to the gourd pattern and fell asleep.
After about a stick of incense, Yunnan, who had been sleeping, suddenly sat up and said, "I thought of it!"

Lakeside.
Ji Qingling looked at the two people behind him and exhaled, "I really don't need your help!"
The big man Jiang Cong smiled innocently, "Fellow Daoist Ji, how can you push such a big stone by yourself? Although my water quality is not as good as yours, I am strong."
Yun Jin on the side interjected, "Fellow Daoist Ji is also very strong, even stronger than you! She said you don't need to follow her."
Yun Jin felt that if someone was following Ji Qingling, it would be difficult for her to use her secret underwater skills and influence them to activate the mechanism.
Since arriving at the lake, Yun Jin would involuntarily observe Ji Qingling's going into the water. She could conclude that this woman had some secret method to stay in the water for a long time.
The result of their final discussion was to try to see if they could leave here through the mechanism!
Too many people died and we were all scared.
Ji Qingling turned around and felt that Yun Jin said the word 'big' very forcefully. Anyway, it sounded like he was saying something sarcastic.
"Let's do this. I saw that Yun Jin's water properties are also very good, so I asked him to follow me to help. Too many people will easily mess up. Yunnan Taoist friends don't need to follow me. I need to take care of him in the water. The method you mentioned I’ve already remembered it!”
. . . . . .
Yun Jin felt that Ji Qingling was targeting him because he never said he would go into the water to help.
Ji Qingling felt that Yun Jin should know that she could stay underwater for a long time anyway.
Every time she came up from the lake, she felt like Yun Jin was watching her.
The two dived to the bottom of the lake. When Yun Jin saw Ji Qingling, he felt as comfortable as walking on land, and he had to hold the rope on Ji Qingling's hand to prevent himself from swimming up.
He picked up a stone and finally stood firm at the bottom of the lake.
Ji Qingling in front pointed to a big rock not far away and stretched out four fingers.
It means that this is stone number four to be pushed away.
All they have to do is push the designated stone to the designated location in Yunnan.
When a new pattern appears, it's time for the trap to open.
Ji Qingling watched Yun Jin holding a stone and walking up to her to help her push a bigger stone. She looked really embarrassed!
