The mist drifted against the ground, over the low handrails of the lake, and appeared on the shallows that had dried up. The white sand of the lake was like fine flour, stirred by the mist and raised a faint smoke. However, the smoke was not noticeable in the night, and fell silent again after a moment.

The water has become very shallow, and the distance from the shore of the lake is almost forty meters from the current water's edge. So Li Zhen showed his figure after walking thirty meters.

In the night, at such a distance, no one could notice him. What's more, there are large clumps of withered aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, and even exposed garbage. He walked slowly under the cover of these things, trying to find something out of the ordinary.

He had been planning to find some monuments or something. Although her reputation in later generations was not good, in the past, in the mythical era in which she lived, it seemed that her reputation was not so bad.

You must know that according to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", she used to be a heavenly girl. The Yellow Emperor was defeated by Chiyou in the war, so he summoned her from heaven to help. And she couldn't return to heaven because she consumed her divine power, so she stayed on earth and became an earthly god.

These are naturally legends. But legends are always based on some reality. A species with such an identity will not die somewhere casually and then be hastily buried like an ordinary human.

It's like Chi You has an underground palace in Shennongjia and the Yellow Emperor has a mountain mausoleum near Ling County, Li Zhen feels that this one should also have a mausoleum worthy of her identity. He was even more daring to imagine that humanity was aware of the species after it had fallen asleep.

And this Prince Lake. Maybe it's an artificial lake dug out to "suppress" her.

However, since it is artificially excavated, why is it not an elliptical or a perfect circle, but an L-shaped?

Li Zhen really thought about this problem while carefully observing the thick lake sand. Then he laughed dumbly.

I'm going crazy now......

Try to think a lot of things in a human way. Dig such a Taizi Lake...... It wasn't at all possible with the humans at that time.

In fact, it is not easy to do such a thing today, even if it takes a lot of effort to do it yourself. Thousands of years ago, there were probably only species with this ability. It's a pity that the species ......

He stopped and opened his mouth.

Species.

In front of you, the shallow water of the lake has become turbid due to the drastic decrease in the amount of water. At night, it doesn't look like water, but more like oil. Li Zhen was half-squatting. He lowered his head and thought about it. Then look north. To the north is the connection between Taizi Lake and the Yangtze River, where there is a long waterway.

A thought flashed through his mind just now, and he felt that there was some truth to it.

What if this Taizi Lake was really dug out to suppress the Lu?

Of course humans can't do it, but species can.

Chiyou was suppressed by the Yellow Emperor at the beginning. It was an unquestionable repression—copper nails were found in every grave at that time. Taoists will use copper nails to suppress evil spirits. Perhaps this tradition has been passed down since then.

Lu means drought and high temperatures. There is no more effective way to suppress her than with a lake of water.

Let's not talk about why the Yellow Emperor wants to suppress her-

If it is the handiwork of the Yellow Emperor or other species in the same camp as him. They can naturally do it this way.

So, what is an L-shape?

Perhaps he was thinking too much about this.

If he were to do it himself, of course he would make an ellipse or a perfect circle. However, the years are changing, and the vicissitudes of life. Even the strength of a species can be fragile and powerless compared to nature.

So. Maybe it was originally a circular lake. It's just that because the lake is connected to the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River has always become violent and unruly many times over the course of thousands of years, a large amount of river water has poured in and constantly washed the lake's shores, causing some of the more fragile places to gradually erode into the shape it is today.

This is a mutually corroborating conjecture.

And all he had to do now was to go to the entrance of the waterway of Taizi Lake and take a closer look around there. If you can really find clues, it really means that Lu was indeed "artificially" suppressed at the beginning.

Fifteen minutes later, Li Zhen had reached the northern end of the lake area.

The water level here is lower than at the southern end. The shallowest point is already visible beneath the murky water. And lurking all the way, he was even more sure of his own idea. For this L-shaped lake area is like a long crooked gourd—the long end of L, where he had been, has a gentle undulation between it and the short end of the L-shape.

It's as if the two ends were originally separate large puddles, but later connected to one place.

He looked at the watch on his wrist.

10:46 p.m. The night was still long, and he felt he still had plenty of time.

Guo Baorong said that the lights in the residential area would be lit at night, which probably meant that the aliens guarding the lakeshore would leave the place in batches at that time. After all, xenos are also transformed from humans, and they can't do it without eating. Maybe in order to disguise themselves as normal people, they will turn on the lights all night, and then return here to do their duty.

But now he's at a loss.

The idea was a bit ridiculous – like trying to find a stone monument at the bottom of a lake or something. If the situation is really as he imagined, thousands of years have passed, and the silt that has accumulated at the bottom of the lake alone is more than ten meters thick, and perhaps the bottom is about to be crushed into stone. Even if there were any inscriptions at that time, they were buried deeper into the ground.

So......

The people who came here from Siberia will not be as ignorant as they are themselves. Now that they can discover this secret, they may also know where the true body of the Dao Lu is. If there is an underground palace under this lake, then they should also know where the entrance to the underground palace is.

There's no reason why others can't think of what you can think of – never think too stupid of your enemies.

So he sat down slowly, sitting on the dried up mud at the bottom of the lake, hiding his figure with the withered yellow grass behind him.

Where did they get their messages?

There will certainly not be any "small scrolls hidden behind the truth of history" in this kind of thing, which will be left for future generations to venture out for treasure. After such a long time, the person involved at that time must have long since disappeared.

But of course the Yellow Emperor will know the way. However, even that one didn't dare to awaken or merge with it in the first place—Li Zhen didn't plan to do that.

Because...... It's a pity, after all, it's a species. Even if it is a species that has good intentions towards mankind and is regarded as their ancestors by later generations.

In fact, he should be regarded as his ancestor, but he always has some mustard in his heart. Awakening it may provide a powerful boost for itself like Ying Long, or it may go wrong. And most importantly, if the dust settles, if the best of all is true – the bad guys are all suppressed...... What should it do?

So he guessed that the skeleton was still in the tomb. Neither friend nor foe will be happy to bother with it.

Ying Long may know the way. But it wouldn't do that...... It shouldn't have revealed that information. Maybe it's just because there were some visions here before and then they were noticed.

If those people also followed these clues to find the exact location of the possible underground palace, then he should also be able to find it. Guo Baorong, who has been with him for three days, has already explained the things in this neighborhood in great detail, and even made it clear which restaurant in the vicinity closed down and who was behind which restaurant.

But among these few words, Li Zhen was the only one who didn't hear anything big about what happened anywhere.

The "big things" he refers to are "loud noises", "demolition", "reconstruction" and other major events that cannot be hidden.

This means that either the people haven't found the entrance to the dungeon yet, or the entrance is so secret that it can be opened without much effort.

At this point, if you don't take a detour from the beginning, you have to sort out all the details before you can find a satisfactory answer. For example, those ambiguous small details that have been brushed aside in consciousness.

For example, this entire Taizi Lake. Water can overcome fire - every Chinese knows this. Therefore, it is very reasonable to use a prince lake to suppress Lu. But that's it...... Actually, it's quite unreasonable.

The Five Elements are somewhat mystic. Perhaps they belong to a category of knowledge that has not yet been accurately recognized by humans. But whether it's the current human race or the species in the past, they probably won't really go to great lengths to come up with such a prince lake just because of this kind of thing, right?

In fact, the amount of power that humans and species have in their possession is, in a sense, pragmatism. Humans rely on technology, while species rely on abilities and psionic abilities. Something like the occult is not the dominant theory on either side.

What's more, in the era when the Yellow Emperor and Lu coexisted, it was not certain whether there were five elements.

So...... What is the purpose of making such a prince lake?

In fact, even if it was not deliberately excavated but deliberately built under the underground palace, you can ask this question - what is the purpose of such a big effort?

Li Zhen looked at the shore, stood up with a bow and took a few steps towards the water's edge, and then put his hand inside.

The sun had been setting for two or three hours, but the residual temperature in the water was still there, and the temperature was not much lower than the bath water in the small hotel just now.

There was still a trickle of water flowing in to the north, and he could keenly feel the water flowing. However, this was not the conclusion he wanted. So he frowned and stepped into the water.

The mud is so deep that every step is strenuous. However, he did not dare to exert his strength—for fear of alarming the guys on the shore of the lake. It took him three minutes to go a little further, and when the lake soaked his jaw, he took a deep breath and sank. (To be continued......)
