Chapter 22: The Lake of Killing

Liang Yun'er shook her head and said in a low voice: "I don't know, but I may know what they said about Master Xun," Seeing that Yuan Hong's eyes were full of thirst for knowledge, Liang Yun'er continued: "There is a rice merchant named Xun Hai in the south of the city, and his power is not much worse than the Gu family. I had heard that one of his sons had unfortunately gone missing when he was five or six years old, and the one in front of him was very likely. So let me accompany him with some silver, so that there may not be any extraneous branches. ”

She took out a silver ticket with a denomination of ten taels from her baggage, and said to everyone: "We have no intention of bullying anyone, just now this little brother was going to do something because of a trivial matter. In this way, I will accompany him for ten taels of silver, and if nothing happens, everyone will disperse. ”

Hearing this, the fat man who covered his face with his hands glanced at Liang Yun'er through his fingers, and saw that she was holding a silver ticket between her fingers, and unconsciously showed joy in her eyes, and all this was perceived by Yuan Hong.

Liang Yun'er stepped forward quickly, helped the fat man up, stuffed ten taels of silver tickets into his hand, and said with a slight smile: "It's all a misunderstanding, it's going to be dark, you can take your cloth home quickly." ”

Seeing this, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly: "Hey, I suddenly remembered that the girl in front of me should be Miss Liang." Tsk, I haven't seen you for two years, and I've grown into a big girl, and I almost can't recognize it, it's really a female college eighteen. ”

Hearing this, the fat man stood up, and the liger beast also got up. The fat man walked towards Yuan Hong, pushed him, and sneered: "You bad old man is also worthy of Miss Liang to call Ah Gong!"

Just as he was being pushed, Yuan Hong fell down and rolled on the ground: "Hey, my chest hurts so much, my whole body hurts." Yun'er, go back and tell your mother, I can't enjoy the old man, hey, ......"

"What's going on!"

Hearing a sudden shout from outside the crowd, people avoided one after another, revealing a gap. I saw a sword-wielding young man with a fierce eyebrow stepping forward, followed by seven or eight halberd-wielding guards.

Seeing this, Yuan Hong complained bitterly, rolled even harder, and thought to himself: Look at this style, it should be the person of the "right seat of the king", hehe, there is a good show to watch!

After asking the reason for the matter, the young man holding the sword made a ruling to let the fat man compensate Yuan Hong for fifty taels of silver. Although the fat man was a little reluctant, he gritted his teeth and pasted forty taels of silver tickets, and then walked away.

Seeing the fat man walk away, Yuan Hong secretly sighed: The porcelain stunt is really awesome, and it is the most invincible to touch the system.

Yuan Liang and the others did not dare to delay, and accelerated towards the east of the city. When he approached the Liang Mansion, Yuan Hong couldn't help but be stunned.

Outside the mountain, the green mountain building is outside the building, and the embroidery in the painting is secluded. If it weren't for the Drifter's door, how could Yuyu swim around the water?

Qionglou is stacked, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the fragrance of flowers and plants is condensed in a quiet realm - he really can't believe that there is such a beautiful place in the world, and he can't believe that this is Liang Yun'er's home.

Seeing Yuan Hong's incredulous face, Liang Yun'er quietly approached him and said with a smile: "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

Yuan Hong touched his head and said slowly: "I didn't expect your home to be as beautiful as you." ”

Hearing this, Liang Yun'er stuck out her tongue: "How can there be a comparison like you, let's go, and I'm still in a hurry to have dinner." Before she finished speaking, she pulled her senior brother straight across the high threshold of the West Side Gate - yes, she could only step on it.

"Dad, I'm back. ”

Holding Yuan Hong's arm, Liang Yun'er was like a happy rabbit, jumping straight to the bright room at home.

"Sissi, you're back!"

Before the people arrived, the sound was immediate, and it was as warm as jade and wine.

Yuan Hong stretched his neck and carefully looked at the middle-aged woman who walked out of the bright room. The woman is rich and dignified, although there is a slight fish pattern at the corner of her eyes, her appearance is not inferior to Liang Yun'er. In her gestures, her temperament and appeal that washed away the lead are deeply attractable.

As if she saw Liang Yun'er holding a bad old man, she coughed lightly. Seeing this, Liang Yun'er let go of Yuan Hong, walked towards her quickly, and got into her arms.

"Mother, I want to kill you!" Suddenly, Liang Yun'er pulled out and looked at Mingjian, looking slightly confused: "By the way, what about Dad?"

"Your father took the six sons of the family to the rivers and lakes an hour ago, and I saw that they were holding fishing gear in their hands, and they should have gone fishingβ€”but now it's dinner time, why hasn't the old man rushed back?"

Glancing at Yuan Hong, Liang Yun'er muttered, "Dad, something should happen to him." As she spoke, she picked up Yuan Hong again, turned her head and was about to leave the house, after hearing a louder cough, she hugged her mother and whispered in her ear.

Liang Mu seemed to understand everything, nodded slightly, and ordered her subordinates to take an extraordinarily delicate sword and hand it to Yuan Hong.

Politely returning a smile, Yuan Hong hugged his fists and said: "The younger generation is barely a cultivator, so I don't need this, thank you for your kindness." ”

Liang's mother smiled knowingly, and said seriously: "There are many bad people these days, in front of the old and spicy people, you young people are especially easy to suffer, and it is not a bad thing to have multiple self-defense things." Since you don't want it, I won't force it anymore. In short, be careful. ”

Yuan Hong didn't respond anymore, and under the pull of Liang Yun'er, he walked out of the east gate one after another.

According to Liang Yun'er, Wangjiang Lake is located at the foot of Dongtaro Mountain in the east of the city, five miles away from Liang's mansion. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is shrouded in fog all year round. Since about three years ago, people have often disappeared here, and once they are missing, they can never be recovered, and the saying is that the lake is too deep, the water temperature is too cold, whether you understand the nature of the water or not, as long as you fall into the water, you don't want to go ashore alive. "Cold water, miserable and fierce wind", mysterious and terrifying rumors spread far and wide.

Regarding Liang Yuner's exposition, Yuan Hong remained silent.

After about a cup of tea, the two came to the lake. Strangely, neither human figures nor fishing gear were found here, not even a trace of human breath.

Facing the sunset hanging on the mountaintops with his back and staring at the reddish cyan lake, Yuan Hong was thoughtful.

"Senior brother, why is Daddy not here? Obviously, my mother said that he came with a fishing rod. ”

Liang Yun'er was obviously in a hurry, and she almost stomped her feet. Probably because the soles of her practice shoes were too soft, she was pierced by the sharp stones under her feet.

Seeing this, Yuan Hong hurriedly squatted down, took off her shoes, and rubbed her narrow and tender little feet. With a wisp of fresh breeze, the fragrance of the nose hits the face, which makes people feel numb.

Gui Fang is difficult to compare with the daughter of the Liang family, and the incense and drunken willow fish are under her feet, this is not the first time Yuan Hong has experienced it personally.

Sitting Liang Yun'er aside, Yuan Hong took a few steps forward, bent over and took a handful of water, tasted it, and then smiled coldly.

He turned around and walked back towards Liang Yun'er, his face still so grim.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly?" Obviously, Liang Yun'er couldn't calm down at all, she put on her shoes and stood up suddenly, her face full of confusion.

"This is a murderous lake!" Yuan Hong pointed to the surface of the lake, his eyes were extremely determined.

"Murder Lake? There are many accidents here, and I've never heard of anything related to killing. Didn't I tell you before, the lake is too deep and too cold, and there will be a thick fog in the morning and evening, and it will be accompanied by huge waves, and those who come here to play are better if they are in the daytime, but if it is late at night or early in the morning, most of them will have an accident, and the bones will be hard to find. So, I'd rather believe it was an accident than a murderous disaster. ”

Although Liang Yun'er looked anxious, she explained very patiently. Because she understands that her brother needs these facts from her to find the truth of the matter.

Shaking his head, Yuan Hong leaned further towards her and said slowly: "The first time I saw the cyan lake, I suspected that it was a saltwater lake. Since the light is not very good, so as not to make a mistake in judgment, I tasted the lake water again just now, and found that the lake water is relatively salty," After a pause, he and Liang Yun'er met their eyes and continued: "I was born with three sensitive senses - hearing, vision, and taste are different from ordinary people, maybe you can't distinguish the smell of water, but I can!"

Hearing him say this, Liang Yun'er covered her mouth lightly and said in surprise: "It turns out that senior brother is born different, this is the first time I've heard of it." By the way, you say it's a murderous lake, what does that have to do with the saltiness of the water?"

Gently touching the white beard, Yuan Hong said unhurriedly: "The freshwater lake is exposed to the sun during the day, and at night, the lake water on the surface cools first, and the concentration increases, so it sinks, and the lower concentration of hot water rises and dissipates the heat. The saltwater lake is different, the surface water does not sink even if the temperature drops, because the salt content of the lower lake water is high, the concentration is large, and it will not float, so that the heat at the bottom of the lake cannot be carried to the surface of the lake. ”

Seeing Yuan Hong pause, Liang Yun'er shook her finger and said, "Oh, I see." What you mean is that even if you encounter a dense fog at night, even if you accidentally fall into the water, those who are familiar with the nature of water will not be able to be killed by the cold deep lake water, because the so-called 'cold and cold water, miserable and fierce wind' is simply a rumor. Saying hot water as cold water and man-made disasters as accidents must be an attempt by the gangsters to cover up the truth of the killing. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Hong smiled and nodded, and then he restrained his smile again, closed his eyes, and was silent for a while.

Seeing this, Liang Yun'er, who was so anxious, wanted to say something, but suddenly bit her lip again, perhaps, she didn't want to disturb Yuan Hong in meditation.

"Follow me!"

Yuan Hong opened his eyes suddenly, took Liang Yun'er, and walked along the curved shore of the lake towards the opposite side of the lake.

Gradually, a manic dog barking reached their ears.

"Ah, how is it rhubarb?"

Before she could get completely closer, Liang Yun'er quickly ran to a fluffy little black dog, held it in her arms, and kept gently brushing its black fur, showing pity. In this regard, Yuan Hong was stunned. It was difficult for him to understand how a black and swarthy dog could become a "rhubarb"? How inconsistent it was to be named a big character for a dog whose body length was no more than an adult's two arms!

After the rhubarb licked Liang Yun'er's fingers, one of them struggled to somersault and jumped to the ground again. It kept screaming in the direction of the middle of the lake, as if trying to express something.

Full of doubts, Liang Yun'er turned her head to look at Yuan Hong, as if she was looking forward to learning something from him.

Without saying a word, Yuan Hong hurriedly picked up the rhubarb and ruthlessly returned to the lake two feet away from the shore.

Liang Yun'er was completely dumbfounded, she pouted at Yuan Hong and said, "Rhubarb can't swim, why did you throw it into the lake?"

Yuan Hong didn't care, and smiled heartily: "That little black - oh no, that rhubarb is clearly a pastoral dog, and it already has the potential to know water." I threw it into the lake, just enough to give it the courage to show the way. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to rhubarb. I saw that the little black dog was like a chicken in soup, and his feet were fluttering.

"Rhubarb, swim back!" Liang Yun'er could only roar because she didn't understand water. At the same time, she didn't forget to stare at her senior brother with a pair of resentful eyes.

But the miraculous thing is that the rhubarb did not swim back, but tried to row forward, about a foot away, it suddenly slowed down, and barked again, and at this moment, its body had begun to sink slowly.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Hong realized for a while, and without hesitation, he quickly hit the dragon shadow energy palm and attacked straight towards the place where the dog barked!

Suddenly, the wind surged, the sky was silent, and two dragon shadows circled in the air, swept over the rhubarb, and converged at one point. The eruption in the silence seems to take away the soul of heaven and earth!

In order to cover the dazzling light, Liang Yun'er brushed her sleeves in front of her. At this moment, Yuan Hong had already stepped on Ling Feng, carried the rhubarb ashore, and handed it back to Liang Yun'er.

With the sound of the cold dragon, the two dragon shadows suddenly escaped into the water, and then broke through the water again, turned into waves and then fell into the water and melted. At the same time, the clear water of the lake bubbled and disappeared from the vision of the two in an instant.

"Senior brother, look!" Liang Yun'er shouted loudly with one hand on her chest and pointing straight ahead with the other. Rhubarb barked incessantly.

Yuan Hong looked intently, only to see that a few golden rays of light suddenly appeared in the previous rhubarb sinking place, and the shadows were fleeting.

He was about to explain something to Liang Yun'er, when suddenly, a powerful force seemed to lock his muscles and bones, and dragged him to the flash. What followed was darkness in front of him and a few screams in his ears......
