Jingyang and Yi Qingfeng continued to search for the houses they had found in the morning, their eyes widened and they didn't let go of a trace of clues, and in a blink of an eye, they found a few more houses, but their gains were still very limited. Yi Qingfeng was suddenly a little frustrated, he rubbed his eyes and said, "Damn, not only do my legs be sore, but even my eyes are dry, so let's stop and rest." ”

Jingyang on the side also sighed: "It's really a needle in a haystack to find a key like this, if I want to say that I have to think of a better way, the trapped golden retriever didn't give us any clues?"

Yi Qingfeng said: "No, I don't know if it's because I've been locked up for too long or for some other reason, when I went down to the bottom of the well, I felt that the big mouse didn't seem very excited, he looked quite weak, and I went out of the well without saying a few words." ”

Jingyang said: "It's a pity, there should be some clues, after all, there is always a reason why he is trapped here, maybe he has a lot of connections with the King of All Souls, and he always knows more about him than we do." ”

The two were chatting, and suddenly a mouse quickly ran towards the two, it was the same mouse that took Yi Qingfeng to the dry well before, Yi Qingfeng said secretly with joy in his heart: "Could it be that he came to send me some information." ”

Seeing a mouse running towards him, Jing Yang frowned and said: "Where did you come from, the young master is worried, you are running over with no one in your eyes, are you looking for a fight." As he spoke, he threw an ancient coin in his hand at the mouse, and the mouse dodged the flying attack with a light dodge.

A hint of surprise flashed across Jingyang's face and said, "Oh, damn mouse, the master really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to have such a hand." ”

Yi Qingfeng on the side said: "Okay, don't sprinkle your anger on the innocent little mouse, who does it provoke, can you have a little love?"

Jingyang said dissatisfiedly: "You're not mistaken, this is a stinky rat that everyone shouts and beats, they are good for nothing but stealing food and spreading diseases, so it's not bad if you don't kill it." ”

Yi Qingfeng hurriedly said: "Don't don't, don't do it again, this mouse is the same mouse that took me to the dry well before, and it must have something to tell you when it comes." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and beckoned the mouse to him.

The mouse obediently ran over, and Yi Qingfeng said, "Little mouse, do you have something to tell you?"

The little mouse nodded and spit out a piece of paper from his mouth, Yi Qingfeng opened it and took a look, only to see a big fish drawn on the paper, and the fish's mouth was biting a black key, Yi Qingfeng said happily: "Great, the key was originally taken by a big fish, as long as you find this big fish, the whereabouts of the key will be clear." ”

Jingyang was also overjoyed: "Great, it seems that I really blamed this little mouse, it turns out that it has brought us such good news." As he spoke, he touched the little mouse's head affectionately.

Knowing the whereabouts of the key, Yi Qingfeng said: "Without further ado, we have to hurry up and inform Jia Lei, Yun Feng and Kefei, lest they go around looking for things in vain." ”

Jingyang said: "Yes, yes, then let's go quickly." As he spoke, he picked up Yi Qingfeng and walked towards the house opposite.

The two quickly found Zhong Jialei, Bai Yunfeng, and Ma Kefei, and told the three of them the news that the key was guarded by a big fish, and the three of them were overjoyed when they heard it, Zhong Jialei said: "Where did you get this news?"

Yi Qingfeng said: "It's the rat that took me to find the dry well, so you can rest assured, this news can't be wrong." ”

Bai Yunfeng said: "The news can't be wrong, but where is the big fish that cares for the key, there is only one lotus pond in this house that looks like there is a fish, why don't we go there and find it?"

Jingyang said: "You can't go there to find it first, the big fish must live in a place with water, and it is difficult to hide the big fish in these buildings." ”

Everyone had no disagreement, so they went to the lotus pond in the northeast direction. When I came to the lotus pond, I saw that the lotus leaves in the lotus pond were dense, some of them were all out of the water and stood proudly, and some of them only surfaced, and from a distance it looked like a green dish, which was also filled with crystal water droplets.

The whole lotus pond is roughly three or five acres, although it is not wide, but in such a house

It's already not a small existence. Everyone watched for a while, and Marco said: "There may be fish in this lotus pond, I don't know if the big fish that guards the key is hidden in this lotus pond." ”

Bai Yunfeng said: "Even if that fish is really hidden in the lotus pond, how do we catch it?"

Jingyang said: "It's so stupid, you can ask such a simple question, of course you go into the water to catch it, is it possible that you still expect it to jump into your hands?"

Bai Yunfeng said: "Of course I know how to catch in the water, but now I don't have any fishing tools, don't you want to go down and catch with your bare hands?"

Jingyang said: "I can only catch it with my bare hands, but don't you still have a sword in your hand, maybe you can use it." ”

Bai Yunfeng smiled: "Jingyang, you are really funny, catching fish with a sword, this is the first time I have heard of it." ”

The two of them were arguing with each other, and Zhong Jialei on the side said hurriedly: "Don't argue between the two of you, if you can really get the key in your hands, no matter what tool it uses, I don't think it's impossible to use a sword." As he spoke, he took the lead in entering the lotus pond and catching fish.

The water in the lotus pond is not too deep, and it is as far as Zhong Jialei's thigh, he searched in the water for a while, and from time to time he could see some small fish swimming in the water, but the slightly larger fish were nowhere to be seen. Seeing Zhong Jialei go into the water, Jingyang shouted: "How is it, are there any fish in the water?"

Zhong Jialei said: "Don't be lazy, hurry up and go into the water to find it together, there are many people and great power, find it early and rescue the Golden Retriever Rat King as soon as possible." ”

Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng and others were naturally embarrassed to stand on the side, they stepped into the water to find fish, five people bent their waists in the lotus pond and kept looking, time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened, and the five people also had some gains, catching a total of five or six palm-sized fish, but they didn't look like the big fish guarding the key in the picture, just some ordinary carp.

After a busy afternoon, everyone was full of fatigue at this time, Yi Qingfeng said: "That's it for today, whether there is a key or something that will disembowel the fish, let's go back." Then he returned to his lodgings with the others.

As night fell, everyone sat around the table to eat, and a few fish caught from the lotus pond had become a delicacy on the plate, but unfortunately they were all ordinary fish, and had nothing to do with the key to open the iron cage. Jingyang picked up a piece of fresh and tender fish and stuffed it into his mouth and said, "Yes, this fish is very delicious, just as delicious as the fish we caught in the river in the past." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "The taste is good, and it is excellent for cooking, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with the key of the iron cage." ”

Yi Qingfeng said with a smile: "Don't worry, where can you catch a few fish and find the target, I don't believe we have such good luck." In my opinion, it is not easy to find the big fish with the key, this fish is definitely not an ordinary fish, it is very likely to be a demon that has become a spirit, and it is uncertain whether it hides in the lotus pond or not. ”

Jingyang said: "According to what you say, we don't have to go to the lotus pond to find it, there is no room for any fish essence in such shallow water." ”

Yi Qingfeng said: "I'm just guessing, I still have to find it in the lotus pond, there is no water anywhere else in this house except where there is water, and it is not good to find an understanding there." ”

Everyone chatted while eating, and when the night was late after eating, a bright moon hung quietly in the sky, illuminating the entire house with silver light, thinking that there was a task tomorrow, everyone rested for a while and went back to the house to sleep.
