Outside the palace.
Leng Mianfeng and Leng Chao heard the roar coming from the hall, looked at each other, and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"Grandpa, what happened in the hall?" Leng Chao couldn't help but ask.
A glimmer of light flashed in Leng Mianfeng's eyes, and he said solemnly: "Succeeded."
Leng Chao was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Then Master Xu Xian can really save my second uncle?"
Leng Mianfeng nodded and said, "Let's go in and have a look."
Leng Chao didn't hesitate, opened the door directly, and walked into the hall with Leng Mianfeng.
In the main hall, there are no statues of gods anymore. Only Xu Zhian is sitting cross-legged on the ground, exuding a mysterious aura.
The two of them saw the broken pieces of the statue and the unconscious Leng Lingyuan at a glance.
"Fortunately, village chief, he was rescued." Xu Zhi'an slowly came to his senses, stood up, raised his hands to Leng Mianfeng, and said loudly.
Leng Chao's face was full of excitement at this moment. He walked quickly to Leng Lingyuan, reached out and grabbed Leng Lingyuan, supported Leng Lingyuan, and whispered: "Second uncle, are you feeling better?"
Leng Lingyuan opened his eyes slightly, saw Leng Chao in front of him, showed a weak smile, and said: "Chao'er..."
Leng Chao's eyes were slightly red and he said, "Second uncle, how are you?"
Leng Lingyuan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I'm just a little out of strength."
When Leng Mianfeng saw this scene, he stood there and bowed deeply, bowed his hands to Xu Zhi'an and said, "Xu Xiaoyou, on behalf of everyone in the Leng family, I would like to thank you for your great kindness."
Leng Chao also reacted at this time. The eyes of this simple young man were full of gratitude. He turned to Xu Zhi'an and said: "Master Xu Xian, if my second uncle didn't have you, I'm afraid he would be in trouble. This is a great kindness, Leng Chao." Unforgettable forever!”
Xu Zhian smiled, waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."
Leng Chao was about to say something more, but Leng Mianfeng suddenly came over, waved his hand to him, and said: "Chao'er, take your second uncle back to the clan for recuperation."
Leng Chao was stunned and subconsciously looked at Leng Lingyuan in his arms. He felt that he was very weak and might fall into coma at any time, so he did not dare to delay. He nodded, picked up Leng Lingyuan and walked out of the hall.
In the main hall, Leng Mianfeng looked at Xu Zhian in front of him, took a deep breath, lowered his voice and said, "Xu Xiaoyou, please come with me."
Xu Zhi'an was stunned for a moment, looked at Leng Mianfeng, and said nothing. He thought to himself that it seemed that Leng Mianfeng was going to fulfill the reward he said was related to his future, and he also felt a little curious.
Leng Mianfeng had already turned around and walked towards the back of the hall first.
Xu Zhian hesitated and followed Leng Mianfeng's footsteps.
Behind the main hall is a portal, and behind the portal is a secret room.
Leng Mianfeng stopped in front of the door, looked back at Xu Zhian, and whispered: "We're here."
Xu Zhi'an looked at Leng Mianfeng with a hint of doubt in his heart, but he still followed Leng Mianfeng into the door.
The secret room was dark, with only a dim light flickering.
Leng Mianfeng led the way, followed closely by Xu Zhian. The two of them went around several turns and came to a stone gate.
"Xu Xiaoyou, what is behind the stone gate is the reward I promised you. It should be of great use to you."
After saying that, Leng Mianfeng groped in the dark, then turned some switch, and the stone door slowly opened in front of Xu Zhian.
Behind the stone gate, it was pitch black, with only a dim light flickering.
Xu Zhi'an took a closer look and saw a corpse behind the stone door. The whole body was covered with a thick layer of dust and his face could not be seen clearly.
Leng Mianfeng walked slowly to the corpse, reached out and brushed away the dust, revealing the corpse's face.
This is an unfamiliar face, about twenty years old, with a thin face and closed eyes. It looks like it has been dead for a long time.
Leng Mianfeng said: "This is the disciple that Doctor Mo accepted three years ago."
Xu Zhi'an's face changed drastically and he was stunned on the spot. He was a little at a loss for a moment. The disciple that Doctor Mo accepted three years ago was indeed a person, but he had turned into a corpse and was hidden in the secret room by the village chief. , didn’t the village chief and Doctor Mo have a deal? Why don't you hand back the body of Doctor Mo's disciple?
"What's going on?" Xu Zhian asked in a trembling voice, but there was a vague premonition in his heart.
Leng Mianfeng didn't say anything, but led Xu Zhian to the other side. There was a stone bed there, and there was a corpse lying on the stone bed, also covered with thick dust.
Leng Mianfeng reached out and brushed away the dust, revealing a face.
Xu Zhian only took one look and exclaimed: "This is me!"
What happened in front of me was really unbelievable. I was clearly still alive, so how could there be a corpse that looked exactly like me here?
"Xu Xiaoyou, don't panic. Although this corpse looks like you, it is not your corpse, but the body of the Lake God. Maybe you will understand better by saying this. Since you appeared, this body has become more and more similar. You, especially these days, suddenly become almost exactly like you." Leng Mianfeng explained lightly.
When Xu Zhi'an heard this, he felt his mind buzzing and going blank. He could not imagine why the body of the Lake God gradually became like his own, and why the disciple that Doctor Mo accepted three years ago was here, like this. It's really unbelievable.
Leng Mianfeng saw Xu Zhian stunned on the spot, as if he had expected it, and said calmly: "Xu Xiaoyou, there are some things I can't say, but there is a history about Bihai Village and Lake God that I can tell you. This is me The real reward for giving.”
Xu Zhian's heart was in confusion. He looked closely at Leng Mianfeng and asked, "What history?"
Leng Mianfeng said: "I wonder if little friend Xu has ever wondered after coming here. Why is Bihai Village named after the sea when it is clear that it only guards a lake?"
"Could it be related to Xumihai?" Xu Zhi'an felt nervous, thinking of the content mentioned in "Dibei Zhi". Although there are only a few records about Xumihai, it has always been engraved in his heart.
"My little friend is indeed well-informed." Leng Mianfeng praised in surprise, and then said: "That's right, the sea in the name of Bihai Village refers to the legendary Xumi Sea, and Bibo Lake is not a lake either. , it was part of the Sumeru Sea back then.”
Xu Zhi'an was shocked. The Xumi Sea was across the sky from the south to the north. What he had been trying to find but couldn't find any clues about was actually under his feet. He felt a little dazed for a moment.
Leng Mianfeng did not pay attention to Xu Zhi'an's reaction and continued: "In the ancient times, also known as the age of gods, the human race developed the method of cultivating immortals, became immortals and fought against the gods. Xumihai was used as a battlefield at that time. The sea water dried up and land emerged. , the entire Sumeru Sea turned into countless lakes, and Bibo Lake was one of them. After this battle, all the gods fell, and since then we entered the age of cultivating immortals. However, although the gods died, there were still lucky ones who left their divine bodies behind. The Lake God is one of them. Although it is only a divine body, after so many years, it has slowly developed a consciousness. Perhaps because it is afraid of the immortal cultivators, or for other reasons, this consciousness quietly controlled the first group of people who relied on the lake. The mortals who lived there were given the God Slave Seal, in the name of blessing, established faith, and secretly collected the power of incense. Later, these first batch of mortals continued to grow and develop, and Bihai Village was born."
