Along the way, the most confused and unreasonable person was Bai Ling. As soon as she was woken up by Chu Fei'er, she followed them out inexplicably.

She didn't know when Chu Fei'er and Yun Shaoqing came back, she didn't know what happened to them, she didn't know what they had just discussed, and she didn't know where they were going now.

He trotted all the way to the water's edge.

Chu Fei'er looked at such a large surface of water and thought about the depth of the water, and she flinched a little: "That, can I not go into the water?" I can't swim! ”

"I'm not going down either, I'm going to drown the fox!"

Bai Ling would not have gone into the water if she was killed.

"You wait on the shore, we'll go back!"

Yun Shaoqing instructed.

Chu Fei'er and Bai Ling found a stone and sat on it, the early morning breeze blowing, bringing coolness and comfort.

Yun Shaoqing, Wen Jingxuan, and Su Yingxue dived underwater, and this time, the three of them landed in the same place.

I vaguely saw the clay figures under the water, the same as the one Wen Jingxuan saw yesterday.

Yun Shaoqing approached the clay figure and observed it carefully, the clay figure was lifelike, like a living person, which made Yun Shaoqing really amazed, he suspected that there must be a secret hidden behind the clay figure.

Wen Jingxuan approached Yun Shaoqing, and as his gaze also looked at a clay figure, he asked puzzledly, "Is there anything wrong with this clay figure?" ”

Su Yingxue looked at it for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "When I was a child, I read a book in the library of Xuantian Valley, which was a classical book, and there was a detailed record in it. Anyone who has cultivated but is unable to achieve his goal can use the Ancient Sword or a part of the sword, such as the Sword Spirit. Using them to suck the soul of a human can increase one's mana. However, those who have lost their souls will become clay figures, returning to the way Nuwa was created at that time. ”

"In other words, are these clay figurines the shells left behind by the living after they have lost their souls?"

Wen Jingxuan couldn't help but associate these clay figures with the records that Su Yingxue said.

"I've heard about that, too!"

Yun Shaoqing listened to what Su Yingxue said, and suddenly understood something, so he said his guess, "The goldfish monster in this water city is to use the fragments of the ice sword to absorb the soul of human beings to improve their mana, but these clay people, just like the uncle who sold lotus lanterns said, put lotus lanterns at the water's edge and inexplicably fell into the water!" ”

"No wonder, how did I see so many clay figurines yesterday!"

Wen Jingxuan figured it out.

"You saw it yesterday? Why don't you tell me? ”

Su Yingxue asked him why he didn't say it at the time.

"I was in a hurry to find you, and I didn't have time to pay attention to those clay figurines!"

Wen Jingxuan told the truth.

"To find me?"

Su Yingxue smiled, she stopped talking.

It turned out that in his heart, she was important, so important that even Yun Shaoqing's instructions could be forgotten.

"How do we get into Watertown?"

Yun Shaoqing's words broke Su Yingxue's contemplation.

"I know, follow me!"

Wen Jingxuan had been here yesterday, and he knew how to get from here to the gate of Water City.

Yun Shaoqing and Su Yingxue followed him and spared him.

I walked about the same time and road as yesterday, but I didn't see the size of Shuicheng for a long time.

The surrounding scenery is still the same as before, it hasn't changed at all, and there are clay figures everywhere.

"What's going on?"

Yun Shaoqing sensed that something was wrong, "What about the gate of Water City?" ”

"It looks like we've been going around in circles in the same place!"

Su Yingxue also noticed it.

"Yesterday was obviously not like this!"

Wen Jingxuan struggled to recall what happened yesterday, "You can see the gate of Water City along this road, how can this be today?" ”

However, their every move is under the control of the goldfish monster.

Ever since the goldfish monster devoured the fragments of the Ice Sword, with the help of human souls, the mana has increased a lot overnight.

"We've been tricked!"

Yun Shaoqing, who had not spoken, was thinking about a question, if the gate of Shuicheng really existed, why couldn't they find it?

Why is there not even a trace of disappearance?

"Senior brother, what did you think of?"

Wen Jingxuan hurriedly asked.

"This qiē is all a trick of the goldfish monster!"

Yun Shaoqing concluded, "The bottom of this water is unfathomable, and the things we see are as if they are nothing, and as for the water city, there may not be any zài at all!" ”

"But it's true that there are monsters here!"

Su Yingxue decisively questioned Yun Shaoqing's reasoning just now.

All along, like Wen Jingxuan, she believes in Yun Shaoqing's judgment and every word he says, because he is a senior brother, his words are always so reasonable, and they are always so grounded that people are unquestionable.

But this time, Su Yingxue felt incredible, she just wanted to prove that what she saw with her own eyes was true, "Shaoqing, don't you believe what I said?" I've really been in that water city, and I've seen the goldfish monster too, I've seen it with my own eyes! You trust me! ”

"Yingxue, don't worry, it's not that we don't believe you, what the senior brother said also has his basis, you may have misunderstood him!"

Wen Jingxuan saw that Su Yingxue was in a hurry to explain, so he hurriedly defended Yun Shaoqing and persuaded Su Yingxue to calm down.

Before Yun Shaoqing could continue, Su Yingxue wanted to prove herself: "It's not right!" There must be some mechanism here that keeps us going around in circles in the same place! ”

After Su Yingxue finished speaking, she looked around for the location of the mechanism.

Inadvertently, she took a step back, stepped on a cluster of coral behind her, and pressed the button hidden under the coral.

I saw that the cluster of corals moved back quickly, and the clearing under Su Yingxue's feet suddenly sank.

"Ahh

Before Su Yingxue could react, she fell into the abyss behind her.

"Sakurayuki! Sakurayuki! ”

Wen Jingxuan and Yun Shaoqing shouted loudly above, and Wen Jingxuan also tried to reach out and pull her back, but he couldn't catch her.

Su Yingxue's body plummeted until they could no longer see her.

The place where Su Yingxue fell, except for the darkness, could not see anything.

"What to do? Sakurayuki is gone! ”

Wen Jingxuan said anxiously.

"The mechanism has been opened!"

Yun Shaoqing quickly calmed down after being anxious, and then he realized that his reasoning just now was really wrong, "We fell for the goldfish monster's trick, so we couldn't get out." Now that the trap has been opened, let's go find the goldfish monster and ask him to hand over Sakurayuki! ”

After Yun Shaoqing finished speaking, he turned around calmly, and when he looked around again, those clay figures were gone, and Wen Jingxuan followed him to a deeper place.

On the shore, Chu Fei'er and Bai Ling were sitting on the stones, and they really couldn't find any other adjectives to describe their current mood except boring.

"Oops! So boring! Why haven't they come back? You won't let the monster eat it, right? ”

Bai Ling's speaker was unintentional, but Chu Fei'er listened, but he retorted: "Why don't you let the monster eat it?" ”

"I'm just talking casually, how can they get eaten by youkai?"

Bai Ling is also idle, and has nothing to say.

Chu Fei'er ignored her.

Before they knew it, a strong wind suddenly rose around them, and a puff of black smoke rose around them.

"What's going on? Why is it suddenly windy? ”

Chu Fei'er was blinded by the wind, and she couldn't see Bai Ling clearly.

"Not good! It's the smoke of the youkai! ”

Bai Ling is a demon, she still knows this kind of common sense, "I really said it casually just now, there are really monsters who want to eat me?" It wouldn't be so unlucky, would it? ”

"When is it, you're still talking nonsense!"

Before they could struggle, before they could escape, they felt as cold as if they had fallen into the water.

The water was cold to mortals.

Like the villagers who put lotus lanterns at the water's edge, they fell into the hands of the goldfish monsters.
