Patriarch An appeased everyone and the people of the official mansion and the Taoist priests immediately, the great immortals are coming, and everything will be solved by then, and now that black fog has been trapped, so there is nothing to panic about. As long as everyone doesn't approach Sword Lake, there will be no problem, and the patriarch tells everyone to go home, and they are not allowed to go out at night until the matter is resolved tomorrow.

After everyone left, the patriarch arranged for more than ten young people to guard at various intersections in the village on Chinese New Year's Eve, and if they found anything unusual, they would ring the gong in time to warn everyone. After everything was arranged, the patriarch also closed the door of the house.

The whole village was unusually quiet that night, and even the barking of dogs could not be heard on weekdays.

"Boom, Boom, Boom......" A rapid gong sounded throughout the village, followed by a burst of screams from the direction of the village entrance.

The whole village was awakened by the sound of the voice, and they all realized what had happened, and they got up and ran out the door. The sudden sound of gongs and screams mixed with the shouts of the villagers who ran out and the cries of children made the whole village a mess. The only way out of the village was in the direction where the screams came from, and seeing that the black fog had slowly spread into the village, everyone was scurrying around like ants on a hot pot, and they didn't know where to go.

"Go to the Land Temple, go to the Land Temple......" I saw the patriarch beckoning everyone all the way to the Land Temple at the back of the village with the support of the two young people.

By the time everyone panted and ran to the Land Temple, the sky was already dark, and the black mist gradually dispersed with the rising sun, and the whole village returned to a deathly tranquility.

The people in the Land Temple looked at the situation outside the temple with frightened eyes on their faces, and the whole room could only hear the rapid gasping sound after running.

"Who struck the gong just now, what the hell is going on?" the patriarch's words broke the silence.

"I saw the gong at the head of the village, and the people who struck the gong were eaten by the black mist before the gong rang, and I saw it, and they were eaten, and then I struck the gong, and they were ......eaten," said a young man who stood up and stammered, and it was evident that he had not recovered from the shock he had just had.

"What about the people guarding by the Sword Lake? Have they come back? Why don't you ring the gong to call the police? What about the people by the Sword Lake?"

Before the patriarch could finish speaking, there was a "knock knock" sound from the gate of the Land Temple. When the crash stopped, everyone in the room was in chaos again.

"Don't mess up, don't mess ......" It took a long time for the room to calm down after the patriarch and several old men stopped and yelled.

The sound of banging on the door outside the house was still ringing, and if you heard closely, there were still people shouting.

"Hurry open the door"

When the door was opened, I saw that the two villagers were covered in blood and had almost collapsed outside the door, and when I looked closely, it was the two young people who were arranged to guard by the Sword Lake yesterday.

The two young men hurriedly carried them into the house, and after a long time of watering and bandaging, their condition seemed to be improving.

The patriarch came to the two of them with the help of others, "What happened just now? Wasn't the black fog under control? Why don't you beat the gong?"

One of the young men, who was slightly injured, struggled to sit up, and said to the patriarch with tears in his eyes, "Patriarch, if something happens, it's all Wang Lao Wu, if something happens, they are greedy for money and let out the black fog......!

"Greedy for money? What's the matter? Where did the money come from, let a few of them be greedy? Didn't they already promise to give you money? How did the black fog come out? What about Wang Lao Wu and the others?" Hearing that it was his own people who released the black mist, the patriarch's eyes were about to pop out, and he pulled up the young man's clothes and asked a series of questions.

The young man choked up and said, "It's none of my business, it's none of my business, it's Wang Lao Wu... Before I finished speaking, I burst into tears."

Wang Lao Wu, led by several young people who are responsible for guarding Jianhu, is a ruffian in the village, and he usually doesn't make a living. Originally, he didn't want to go to Shoujian Lake, after all, it was dangerous at this time, but when the patriarch offered a reward, he readily agreed, and took the gold and silver property given by the patriarch and gathered a few young people who were secretly gangstering together on weekdays to go to Sword Lake.

At the beginning, a few people were very cautious, not daring to get too close to the Sword Lake, but just watched from a distance on the mountain. When they found that the black fog seemed to be unable to get out of the range of the boulder platform, everyone relaxed, chatting with each other, thinking about whether to ask the patriarch for a little reward after the government and the Taoist priest came to settle the matter tomorrow.

In the first half of the night, everything was fine, and Wang Lao Wu arranged for two people to stare at the black fog on Sword Lake, and then fell asleep with the others.

I don't know how long I slept, Wang Lao Wu and the others were woken up by a burst of pushing, and several people were about to have a seizure, only to see the person who reminded them made a silent gesture to them, and pointed in the direction of Sword Lake with his finger.

Several people quickly got up and looked in the direction of Sword Lake, only to see that the black fog could barely be seen surging on the surface of the lake in the dark night, but this black fog seemed to be less than during the day, and during the day, the black fog almost covered the entire lake, including the boulder platform. But now it has shrunk to the point where the black hole in the center of the lake was exposed in the morning.

"This thing seems to be going back to the bottom of the lake!" I don't know who said it, everyone looked at it, eh, really, this black fog seems to have been shrinking, and it really seems to be drilling into the black hole that came out.

Before a pillar of incense, all the black qi disappeared, and when the last trace of black qi disappeared on the surface of the lake, the lake surface calmed down for a while.

Suddenly, a large bubble emerged from the bottom of the lake, and with a loud sound, the bubble burst on the surface of the water, and kept tumbling with the surge of the water.

Wang Wu and the others stared closely at the abnormal movement on the surface of the lake, Wang Wu was ready to send someone to sound the gong and send a signal, but what happened next made Wang Wu change his attention. He grabbed the hand of the gong player and stopped him from striking the gong, but his eyes were fixed on the surface of the Sword Lake.

I saw a slight light at the bottom of the lake, and the light became brighter and brighter with the water churning out in the center of the lake, illuminating almost the entire lake. With the surging lake, the light is getting brighter and brighter, and the lake water is standing with sparkling stars.

"Gold, gold, it's gold that comes out of the lake," several people shouted excitedly, and indeed, this time it was indeed gold that came out with the gushing lake.

At this time, several people were already dumbfounded.

Gold, so much gold, no one has ever seen so much gold in this life.

"Fifth brother, what should I do? I'll go back and tell the patriarch?"

Wang Wu knocked the speaker's head hard and said, "Are you stupid? With so much gold, you told the patriarch, how much can we share?"

The person who was beaten rubbed his head and said, "But what is the black fog still there?

Wang Wu stared at the lake for a while and said, "Look at it again, this black fog has been making trouble for a day, I estimate that it may be tired when I touch it, it's time to go back and rest." Besides, even if it had come out to eat, the dead ghosts would have enough for her to eat this morning. We'll wait until there's no movement, and we'll sneak over and pick up the gold, do you hear me?"

"Fifth brother, I, I don't dare to go ......" The person who spoke was one of the two people who ran back later.

"Bah, don't you dare to go, then don't go, say okay, this gold is at the bottom of the lake, whoever takes as much as he can do depends on his own ability! If you don't go! If you don't go, there will be no gold!" After Wang Wu finished speaking, he ignored the person who spoke, turned around and stared closely at the movement on the surface of the lake.

Slowly, the surface of the lake stopped surging, but the light at the bottom of the lake still illuminated the entire lake surface transparently, and the flash of gold under the calm lake surface at this moment made Wang Wu and the others itch in their hearts.

"You, go and see" Seeing that there was no movement on the lake, Wang Wu pointed to the person closest to him.

"Fifth brother, I, I, don't dare to go"

"Don't you dare to go, believe it or not, I'll kill you?" Wang Wu's eyes widened, and he raised his hand and made a gesture at the man.

I saw that the man shrank his head to Wang Wu and said, "I still have an old mother, fifth brother, I really don't dare to go."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Wu had already hit him with his head and face, but no matter how much Wang Wu beat him, he didn't let go. In the same way, Wang Wu dealt with several people, but no one was willing to go down first.

Seeing that everyone refused to give in, Wang Wu panted and said to everyone, "Okay, you don't dare to go, I'll go, a few of you remember it for me, I'll go down first, and when you come down and catch up with me, you will share half of the gold you fished, do you hear it?"

When everyone heard that Wang Wu was willing to be the first to go down, he didn't have to take risks himself, and nodded his head as if he was pounding garlic.

After Wang Wu glared at everyone, he picked up the firewood knife beside him and touched it along the side of the mountain towards Sword Lake

Everyone stared closely at Wang Wu's every move, only to see that after a while, Wang Wu had already touched the edge of the boulder platform. Wang Wu stayed on the boulder platform for a while, he bent his waist on the ground on the edge of the platform to grope for something, after a while, Wang Wu picked up a stone the size of a watermelon, only to see him use all his strength to throw the stone towards the sword lake, still out of the stone Wang Wu quickly hid behind the boulder platform.

At this moment, everyone's hearts also hung with the stone thrown by Wang Wu.

There was a "plop" sound, the stone fell into the water and splashed a splash, after almost half a pillar of incense, the lake was still calm, and everyone's hanging hearts were slowly put down.

Seeing that there was no movement on the surface of the lake, Wang Wu also poked his head out from behind the boulder platform, only to see that at this moment he carefully climbed onto the boulder platform, climbed on the ground and slowly moved towards the lake.
