In this closed world, there are snow-capped mountains, jungles, rivers, and lakes, and this lake is called Yaochi, and perhaps the name of the Yaochi Holy Land comes from this.

Fang Wuxian had looked at Yao Chi from afar at the entrance portal, and in his eyes at that time, the lake was like a pearl dotted among the snow-capped mountains, with herds of cattle and sheep beside the pearl, and they were tranquil and comfortable.

But this time, Fang Wuxian and Xiao Liu sneaked here from the underground waterway, but the entire Yao Chi completely changed.

As soon as they emerged from the underground waterway, they were swept out by a violent undercurrent, and Xiao Liu, who was already extremely weak, was pulled by this force and fainted directly, but fortunately, Fang Wuxie's physical strength was super long, and he protected Xiao Liu in his arms, let the undercurrent tear and wash, squinting to find a point to borrow, and finally grabbed a huge carp, borrowed his strength to break away from the undercurrent, and slowly swam to the shore.

There is an undercurrent surging in the lake, and the surface of the lake is also turbulent, as if the water god is angry, the big waves covering the sky and the dark clouds on the lake seem to be connected together, to completely collapse this world, even if Fang Wuxian is standing on the shore, he is out of breath by the violent wind and waves, and he barely looks for a leeward place to push the palace blood for Xiaoliu.

Although Xiao Liu was thin, his physique was very good, and Fang Wuxie's massage stimulated the operation of his own blood and qi, and he soon woke up. The two of them hid behind a boulder, watching the huge waves on Yao Chi covering the sky and the sun, and they were a little stunned for a while.

Fang Wuxian had never seen the sea angry, but he expected it to be nothing more than that. Xiao Liu bowed reverently in the direction of Yaochi, and there were words in his mouth. Fang Wuxian listened for a long time, barely understood a few words, and said to the effect that "Water God Niang Wan'an, Xiaoliu is really helpless, and he didn't mean to provoke your old man." ”

This kind of worship of primordial power, Fang Wuxian did not believe it, but he did not despise it, so he watched with great interest the young man begging for mercy and praying.

It is also interesting to say, Xiao Liu prayed sincerely for a while, and suddenly the wind suddenly subsided, and the monstrous waves calmed down in an instant, and the dark clouds that almost pressed the surface of the lake seemed to have never appeared, revealing a clear sky and a warm sun.

Such a miracle made Fang Wuxian stunned, but Xiao Liu was overjoyed, and kowtowed three times sincerely, so that he had time to speak to Fang Wuxie.

"Brother Fang, why did you come to us? How do we get out now? ”

Fang Wuxian had a way to leave, that is, to build a glider, glide over the peak on the other side, use the arc and wind to gradually accelerate, and finally pass through the portal at high speed.

However, this method does not only require a glider and superb technology, but also does not guarantee that when it hits a portal at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour, it will not be shocked to death by a strong rebound.

If there is enough time and no worries, Fang Wuxian can continue to experiment and seek a way to pass, but not at this time.

He thought about it again and again, and decided to go to the entrance and exit portal to study and study, it has been a night, maybe Xiaobai has already saved Su Yan, and maybe he is about to come in.

Fang Wuxian and the others were on the south shore of the lake at this time, but the gateway was on the snow-capped mountain on the north side. At the portal, you can see the Yao Pond in the distance, but you can't see the vast snow-capped mountains from the Yao Pond.

Fang Wuxie has a good water nature, and his clothes are also wet when he thinks about it, so it is better to cross the Yao Pond, which is much closer than walking around.

Xiao Liu resolutely disagreed, he said that humans are not allowed to set foot in this Yao Pond, otherwise the water god Niangniang will be angry and devour everything. Fang Wuxian thought of the scene just now when the dark clouds covered the sky and the sun was covered by the fierce wind and the raging waves, and then looked at Xiao Liu's worried eyes, but he still gave in.

The two of them detoured from the east side, so that even if someone from the Yaochi Holy Land came to investigate, they would not be able to find the east side for a while. In the mainland, the lake is mostly meadow or sandy land due to the erosion of water tides, but on the east side of this Yao Pond, there is a natural stone forest. The breeze blowing from the west sends the water vapor of the Yao Pond to the east side, and when it encounters a piece of stone forest, it becomes a dense mist, which looks like a white canopy from a distance, and it is very beautiful when it is misty under the sunlight.

Entering the interior of the stone forest, it is not obscured by dense fog as it seems from the outside, except that the air is a little humid, the visibility is still very high.

Xiao Liu introduced: "We say it's not big, but it's not small, and some people have never been to Yaochi in their lives. Of course, it is the water god Niangniang who does not let the mortal body enter the holy lake, but it is more of a prohibition. He treats all people as his cattle and sheep, and enslaves them in the sheepfold. ”

Fang Wuxian said: "But you seem to be very familiar with this place, especially the underground waterway, don't tell me again, everything is a coincidence." ”

Xiao Liu's face turned red, he was in the underground waterway before, Fang Wuxian had asked him once, and he said that he had fallen into a well once, and he found it by coincidence.

When he first made up this statement, Xiao Liu still felt that it was very reasonable, but at this time, his mind was clear, and he was full of loopholes when he thought about it. Imagine that if you fall into a well, you should climb up, and even if you can't climb, you should wait for rescue, and you shouldn't sneak down without dying.

"Should I tell why?" Xiao Liu was a little uncertain about paying attention, and his face was cloudy.

Fang Wuxian patted the young man on the shoulder and sighed, "It's not that I want to persecute you, it's just that I have to confirm that you are not a spy sent to me by Xiaoyaozi." ”

"I'm not a spy!" Xiao Liu argued: "I just want to get out of here!" ”

"But how do you know about that passage? Don't mention anything else, let's just say that the two holes in the well, if you enter the wrong hole, you may not be able to get out alive, right? As for our sneaking all the way, there are more than ten forks in the road, so a secret and complicated passage is impossible for ordinary people to find, but you are very familiar with it. ”

"I ......" Xiao Liu hesitated for a long time and said in a low voice, "I have known this secret passage since I was six years old, and I have to walk it twice a year to prevent forgetting. ”

"Six?" Fang Wuxian was puzzled: "Someone passed it on to you?" ”

Xiaoliu nodded and said, "It was passed on to me by my father, and the reason why he knows it is because of my grandfather." Or it can be said that this underground waterway is a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation by our Lu family. ”

Fang Wuxian looked Xiao Liu up and down again, frowned, and said, "Is there anyone else who knows about this secret passage?" ”

Xiao Liu shook his head and said: "No one knows, even San'er, he only knows that there is a secret passage, but he doesn't know how to pass through and where it will eventually lead." ”

"Could it be that the Crystal Palace was built by your ancestors?"

"Then I don't know, I had five brothers, but they were either demented or died prematurely, and if I also had dementia or died young, then no one would know about this passage. As for the reason, thousands of years have passed, and no one knows it for a long time. ”

Fang Wuxian said: "Maybe your ancestors have had extreme glory here, but they have declined in recent generations. ”

"Brilliant! What's the use of being really brilliant? Just one of the prisoners. There was some loneliness in Xiao Liu's eyes that was incommensurate with his age.

"It's not necessarily useless, at least you can tell the world that I've been here." Fang Wuxian let out a long sigh, he thought of himself, if he could never go back to that world, someone would remember that he had been here!
