The smoke waves are vast for hundreds of miles, and the wind is like waves.

In an instant, the scene in front of him reminded Zhou Qingli of such a poem, which perfectly described the fairyland-like scene in front of him.

"It's beautiful!"

Song Jianqiu had also come back to his senses and noticed that the place where the two fell turned out to be an extremely vast lake!

Standing on the shore of this lake, looking up, the smoke is vast, and you can't see the edge at a glance, only a foggy patch.

The ethereal smoke continued to roll and rise, gradually becoming thin and hazy, and from a distance, the gloomy sky seemed to have rained down the inky clouds and smoke, which were connected with the ethereal smoke of the lake on the ground, blending, and finally forming a chaotic scene in the middle of the air.

Such a spectacle is estimated to be only seen in the underworld!

Song Jianqiu was fascinated for a while, although he couldn't see what was in the lake, but just watching the smoke on the lake roll into a thousand strange shapes was enough to make people fascinated.

Looking at it, her heart suddenly moved, and she subconsciously looked at Zhou Qingli, and the latter also happened to look over, the two of them looked at each other, and they both saw what the other party wanted to say from each other's eyes.

Then, the two turned their heads to look at this unknown lake again, and it was obvious that this would be the place where Song Jianqiu built the living mound!

This is what the two of them said when they looked at each other before.

However, although it is certain that this is a good place to build a living mound, it does not mean that you can start immediately!

You must know that in the Black Mountain Range, I don't know how many demons and monsters have the idea of beating the flesh in the living mound, especially the mountain ghosts, who regard the flesh in the living mound as a delicacy, and wander in the mountains every day, just to search for the living mounds built by others, so the location of the living mounds is first to be hidden, and with concealment, we can talk about safety!

The lake in front of me covers such a large area, just between the mountains of this majestic world, it is basically impossible to hide, but its shortcomings are also its advantages, because as long as it is vast enough, then if the living grave is built in the lake, outsiders want to search for it, isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack?

And this is exactly what Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu thought.

Instead of rushing to make a decision, the two of them first circled along the edge of the smoky lake, in effect exploring the surrounding terrain and environment.

I didn't know this turn, but I was startled.

It turns out that this magical lake is not on the ground, but on the top of a towering mountain!

It's actually a mountain that lacks peaks, and then somehow it forms a hollow in the middle to create this ethereal lake.

This kind of scene can't help but remind people of the crater, is there a volcano in the underworld? Was this lake once a volcanic crater?

It is not known what happened to them, and unless the two of them can go to the bottom of the lake, they may not be able to get the right answer.

However, there was no hurry, the two of them first walked around the edge of the lake, but found that the lake was too big, or rather, the mountain was too big! After walking for a long time, they still haven't returned to the place where the two of them made marks after landing.

In addition, the shore of the lake is not everywhere, and some places cannot be crossed, forming gaps, so the water in the lake flows out of the gaps, forming a waterfall!

These gaps are long and short, the short ones are fine, they are more than ten meters, dozens of meters are available, and the long ones are about two or three hundred meters, unless they swim through the lake, they can't pass at all.

And places like this, at a glance, I don't know how many there are.

In view of this, the two of them gave up the idea of going around the lake to see the terrain, and began to explore the depth of the lake.

This is also a very important point, if it is too deep, not to mention that there may be some fierce fish and beasts in the lake, just trying to dive to the bottom of the lake, I am afraid it will be very difficult.

You must know that the living mound needs to be placed in a formation, and it must be supported, and it is impossible to be helpless out of thin air; Even if it can be done, Zhou Qingli is far from having such a big ability.

Therefore, the depth of this lake is very important.

And there is no doubt that only Zhou Qing has left this work of detecting the depth.

Under Song Jianqiu's gaze, Zhou Qingli tied a rope to his body, popped, and jumped into the lake, leaving the former to wait anxiously on the shore.

After falling into the lake, Zhou Qingli was surprised to find that although the surface of the lake looked like a piece of smoke, and the lake water was milky white, but in the water, it was clear and transparent, even in the lake, it was also bright, so that people could see the bottom of the lake at a glance, and they didn't know where this light source came from.

However, the magical things of the underworld have been seen a lot during this time, and it seems that there is no surprise that there is such a lake where you can see the bottom of the lake.

So, he gathered his mind and was about to paddle a few times, and when he swam towards the bottom of the lake, he found that the strength in his body was gradually draining!

This discovery immediately startled him, and he looked down at himself, and found that the soul body that had originally recovered the realm of the physical body was rapidly becoming transparent, and in just a few moments, he found that his body had almost become transparent! It's almost all about to merge with the clear water!

If he continues like this, I'm afraid he will really become one with this lake!

He quickly pulled the rope around his waist as he swam toward the lake.

Song Jianqiu, who had been pulling the rope on the shore and paying attention to the situation, saw that Zhou Qing had only gone down for a while, so he pulled the rope, and suddenly couldn't help but feel nervous, knowing that the other party must have encountered some trouble, and hurriedly pulled the rope back.

Under the pull of Song Jianqiu, Zhou Qingli quickly swam to the surface of the lake along the road.

As soon as he showed his head, he jumped up from the lake with the strength of Song Jianqiu's pulling, brought a large splash, jumped into the air, and then fell to the ground.

With the sound of rushing water, Zhou Qingli stood on the shore and gasped for breath.

Just as the composition of the air in the yang world is complex, the composition of the air in the underworld is actually very complex, in addition to the soul power, there is also yin energy, etc., mixed together.

For all the people in the underworld, this kind of mixture in the underworld is the air that cannot be left, if you go to the yang world, it is equivalent to not being able to breathe, although there will be no suffocation, but with the passage of time, the longer you stay, the faster the soul power will be lost, and eventually the soul will be scattered.

In addition, because of the relationship between yin and yang, the yang world is masculine, and the soul body can only hide in Tibet, and cannot move as freely as in the underworld.

Correspondingly, the situation that the body of a living person encounters in the underworld is the same as that of the soul body in the yang world.

It is fine for a person with a physical body to stay in the underworld for a short time, but as the breath is also mixed with yin qi and soul power, the air belonging to the underworld, the physical body will gradually be corroded with the passage of time.

In the end, it was a dried corpse.

Most of the dried corpses in the wilderness came from this way.

Of course, individual circumstances are different, and the depth of cultivation is directly proportional to the time spent in the underworld and yang.

Although Song Jianqiu is now cultivated, her body itself is not ordinary, so she has been able to do so until now, and her physical body has not been corroded by yin qi soul power.

But this situation obviously cannot last long, so the construction of living mounds has become indispensable.

It stands to reason that in the underworld, it is impossible to encounter a situation that will accelerate the loss of soul body so much, but in this lake, Zhou Qingli just encountered it.

"What happened?" Song Jianqiu couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that Zhou Qingli's body was almost transparent, even weaker than when he first fell into the underworld.

"No, I don't know!" Zhou Qingli was like a fish about to drown, even if he jumped into the water and breathed air, he was still out of breath and couldn't extricate himself.

He just said this, and he couldn't hold on any longer, and sat down on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Song Jianqiu could only sit on the side, waiting for Zhou Qingli to recover with a worried face.

As Zhou Qingli ran the soul refining method, a large amount of soul power began to gather, drilling into his ears, nose and mouth, replenishing the consumption of his soul body.

At first, the momentum was loud, but when the soul gradually recovered and gradually appeared flesh-colored, the surrounding movement gradually calmed down.

And after seeing Zhou Qingli gradually recover, Song Jianqiu relieved his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer paid attention to the other party, but came to the lake, sat on a relatively flat stone, frowned, looked down at the lake, and thought about what happened to Zhou Qingli in the lake?

Thinking about it, seeing the mist in the lake is ethereal and changeable, he gradually became distracted, and he couldn't help but stretch out his right hand and lean into the lake, trying to catch the constantly changing smoke in front of him, but as soon as he grabbed it, his hand went directly into the lake.

It's so warm!

When his right hand entered the water, Song Jianqiu only felt a warm current spread up his right hand, all the way to his shoulder, and then spread to other parts of his body.

In fact, since falling into the underworld with her body, her body has never felt warm, and it has always been cold and cold, especially every breath, as if the exchange of hot and cold air is like an exchange of hot and cold air, constantly extracting the heat from the body and replacing it with this cold breath.

This is actually the air of the underworld, which is eroding her physical body.

But now, the water in this lake actually made her feel warm in the underworld for the first time, as if she had encountered a hot spring in the ice and snow, and the whole person was immersed in it, and she only felt extremely comfortable, as if she had come to life.

She couldn't help but close her eyes, and when she was ready to enjoy herself, she suddenly heard a loud shout: "Girl! Don't touch the water! ”

Song Jianqiu was shocked back to his senses, and before he could react, he was grabbed by the arm and pulled away from the shore of the lake, and the warmth that spread through his right hand gradually faded.

"What's wrong?" Song Jianqiu had an inexplicable expression on his face, obviously the lake water was very comfortable!

Zhou Qingli didn't answer her question, only anxiously picked up her right hand and asked, "Is your hand okay?" He looked closely, but found that the other party's right hand was unharmed, but it looked like his skin was more shiny and tender.

"What's going on?"

Under Song Jianqiu's questioning again, Zhou Qingli couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and could only describe what he had just encountered in the lake: "...... If I hadn't found it soon, I'd have melted inside. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Song Jianqiu raised his right hand and looked left and right, but his face showed a suspicious look: "Then why am I fine?" ”

After asking this, she immediately thought of a possibility: "Maybe it's because mine is fleshy?" ”

"It's possible!" Zhou Qingli did find that there was nothing wrong with Song Jianqiu's right hand, and when he heard the latter say that he would feel very warm after his hand was put in, he couldn't help frowning.

After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke, and said: "Heaven and earth are unpolarized Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip!" ”

Song Jianqiu Bingxue is smart, although he usually studies Buddhist scriptures, but he only listened to Zhou Qingli read this sentence in the Taoist classic I Ching, so he understood what Zhou Qingli wanted to say.

"What do you mean...... What is this lake? Song Jianqiu looked at the lake, it was endless, the smoke was vast, tumbling and rising, there was indeed a kind of meaning of Liangyi.

As the saying goes, all things are negative yin and embrace yang, in simple terms, yin and yang are mutually restrictive, but they are integrated.

In fact, this can be seen from the Taiji diagram, with black and white, representing yin fish and yang fish, and in yin and yang double fish, there are two opposite colors, which actually means that yin and yang are negative.

If Tai Chi is used to explain all things in heaven and earth, the underworld and the yang, it is the yin and yang pisces, so that the black and white points in the yin and yang pisces will naturally not be able to run.

To put it simply, in the yang world, there should be a place of extreme yin, which means that the yang is prosperous and turns into yin, and in the underworld, there will be a corresponding place of extreme yang, which means that yin is prosperous and yang.

No one knows where the extreme yin of the yang is, and even everyone thinks it should exist, but no one has ever really seen it, and even where it exists; Whether it's on the ground or underground, it's impossible to tell.

What about the extreme sun of the underworld?

Is it the misty and endless lake in front of you?

If not, it can't explain why Zhou Qingli was almost melted after jumping in, which is exactly the reason why extreme yang does not tolerate yin!

If not, it can't be explained why Song Jianqiu, who has a physical body, feels warm and energetic when he touches the lake!

You know, this is the underworld, and it's not friendly to any living thing!

"Why don't we test it?" The two were silent for a long time, thinking about possibilities, and finally Song Jianqiu broke the silence and proposed.

"How to test?" Zhou Qingli came back to his senses and asked.

"Shall I go down and have a look?" Song Jianqiu said.

"This ...... It's dangerous! What if not? Zhou Qingli raised his eyebrows, not very agreeing.

"No need to jump in all at once!" Song Jianqiu said as he rolled up the sleeves of his arms and said, "I'll go in little by little!" You can pull me in the back! ”

After thinking for a while, he felt that this idea could still be tried, so Zhou Qingli nodded in agreement.

I'm so tired and bored, I don't want to live anymore
