The two took a deep breath and jumped into the lake one after another.

Qi Lu dived a few times at the bottom of the lake but couldn't see the umbrella, so he had to poke his head out and grab the side of the boat to ventilate.

At this time, Xu Xian also surfaced empty-handed, and Qi Lu said to him angrily: "Didn't you say that the demon umbrella sank to the bottom of the water, why can't we find it?" ”

"It's weird, it shouldn't have happened." Xu Xian also had a puzzled expression.

"Then let's dive down and look for it again, and if we can't find it, we'll get on the boat and think of something else."

"Okay." Xu Xian nodded in agreement, and the two dived back to the bottom of the lake.

Time passed minute by minute, except for some frightened small fish and shrimp, there was still nothing under the water, Qi Lu began to be a little breathless, and when he was about to surface, he suddenly saw a bright light in the mud in front of him.

Xu Xian also saw it, and the two of them gestured and then swam in the direction of the bright light. Qi Lu swam to the bright place first, and suddenly there was an indescribable sense of horror that spread throughout his body.

Although the back half of this luminous object was buried in the mud, Qi Lu still recognized it as a gourd at a glance. What's even more strange is that Xu Xian's spirit rune that transformed into a carp is pasted on the gourd at this moment, and the golden yellow and gray-brown gourd of the rune paper form a strong visual contrast.

The broken umbrella was not found, and the rune paper was actually attached to the gourd that suddenly appeared, is it just a coincidence? Qi Lu felt that this was full of strange atmosphere.

Just when he hesitated to pick up the gourd, Xu Xian had already swam over, stretched out his hand to pull the gourd out of the mud, and then beckoned Qi Lu to surface.

Qi Lu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but with Xu Xian's gourd in his hand, there were no supernatural events around, so Qi Lu had no choice but to swallow the question into his stomach and follow Xu Xian out of the lake.

After getting on the boat, the two of them were soaked, Qi Lu wiped the lake water on his face and was about to ask Xu Xian what was going on, when he saw Xu Jingqiao take out two sets of clean clothes that he had worn and motioned for them to change in.

After Xu Xian stuffed the gourd into Xu Jingqiao's hand, he and Qi Lu went to the inner cabin to change clothes, and when they came out, they found that Xu Jingqiao and others were looking at the gourd together.

Lao Wu peeled off the talisman paper, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the lake, and then everyone found that this strange gourd had been soaked in the lake for an unknown amount of time, and there was no trace of decay. However, judging from the aging degree of the surface texture of the gourd, it should be very old.

"You know?" Lao Wu pointed to the left and right sides of the gourd, snatched it from Xu Jingqiao's hand and handed it to Qi Lu.

Qi Lu found that there was no text on the surface of the gourd, but a human head in ancient costumes was carved in the center of the left and right sides.

"It can't be Fang Xiang again, right?" Qi Lu muttered, and when he looked at the two avatars carefully, he realized that he had made a mistake in judgment.

These are two very similar heads of men, with ornaments made of bird feathers on their heads. The more carefully Qi Lu observed, the deeper the eyebrows on his forehead wrinkled.

"You see the fame, right?" An indescribable expression appeared on Lao Wu's face.

"Taizhang, Zhuhai!" Qi Lu's answer trembled a little.

Ding Xiaolan saw that both of them had strange expressions on their faces, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you talking about?" ”

After calming down, Qi Lu said to her: "Taizhang and Zhuhai are both Kunlun gods in ancient times, they are twin brothers, twin gods in charge of time and space. ”

"Wow, God of Time and Space, isn't that awesome?" Ding Xiaolan's second mind didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

Qi Lu didn't answer Ding Xiaolan's words again, but his heart was churning like the sea.

These two gods are indifferent by nature, let alone the human world, and even the heavenly realm rarely moves, so few people in the world know about their existence. But the surface of this gourd is carved with the appearance of these two gods, which shows that the previous owner of the gourd has an extraordinary background.

But Qi Lu had bigger doubts in his heart, he smirked and said to Xu Xian: "Didn't you say that you could find that umbrella, how did you pick up this thing?" ”

"This" Xu Xian's face turned red, it seemed that he didn't know the reason, but he also put forward his own opinion. "Maybe this gourd is transformed by a demon umbrella."

"Good boy, you can really break around." Lao Wu said sarcastically: "It is not a matter of a day or two for me and Xiao Qi to walk yin and yang, if the gourd is transformed by a demon, how can I not feel the demonic energy it emits?" ”

Lao Wu's words choked Xu Xian speechless, and he had to touch the back of his head in embarrassment. Qi Lu saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round. "There's nothing hidden in the gourd, or something like a demon sealed."

Ding Xiaolan didn't hear that Qi Lu was joking, but she believed it. "Shall we unplug it then?"

Qi Lu nodded in agreement, he already had this thought, but Lao Wu didn't agree, he couldn't help but take back the gourd from Qi Lu's hand, and shook it over and over for a long time, but he didn't hear any sound inside, which means that there is nothing in the gourd. Only then did he put his mind at ease and asked everyone tentatively: "There seems to be nothing inside, do you want me to open it?" ”

"Open!"

"Let's go!"

The people present asked Lao Wu to uncover the gourd plug in unison.

"Then you guys stay away, I'll open it." Lao Wu unplugged and squinted inside, but found that the gourd was empty and there was nothing.

But at this moment, something surprising happened, Qi Lu suddenly felt a powerful attraction and sucked him straight into the gourd!

"There is danger" Qi Lu suddenly realized that this gourd was strange, and hurriedly called Lao Wu to plug the plug back into the mouth of the gourd. But something even more terrifying happened in front of everyone's eyes, that is, Lao Wu's entire body had been completely sucked into the gourd and disappeared.

Before Qi Lu could think of a countermeasure, he felt that his eyes were dark and he didn't know anything.

Ding Xiaolan was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, he saw that Lao Wu, Qi Lu, and Xu Xian were sucked into the gourd one after another, and the plug automatically plugged the gourd's eyes, and the gourd also fell to the ground.

"There's a ghost!" Xu Jingqiao screamed, and the whole person collapsed on the ground and trembled.

"Qi Lu, Lao Wu, where are you?" Ding Xiaolan's voice changed because of anxiety. It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and with her trembling right hand she picked up the gourd that had fallen to the ground.

Just as her hand touched the gourd, her ears were filled with strange sounds, and the strange gourd was blown to pieces and turned into a useless pile of wood chips.

It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like a few seconds, Qi Lu suddenly woke up, and suddenly choked on a few mouthfuls of lake water, and then he found himself half-sinking and half-floating in the water.

"Damn, was the gourd brought back to the bottom of the lake?" Qi Lu hurriedly adjusted his posture and paddled hard, wanting to swim back to the cruise ship at Xu Jingqiao as soon as possible.

At this time, Lao Wu also came out of nowhere and swam to Qi Lu's side. Qi Lu was about to use gestures to make him surface before making a plan, when he felt the entire bottom of the lake churning, and a strong blast wave rushed from behind them, carrying broken fish corpses and scattering in all directions.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two quickly dived under the water to avoid the mysterious explosion. In less than a minute, the water was calm again, and the two of them desperately swam towards the surface of the water, and finally surfaced.

As soon as Qi Lu raised his head to breathe in the fresh air, a fish corpse that had been blown to pieces fell on his head, and the disgusting smell of blood kept drilling into his nose.

Qi Lu hurriedly whisked the fish corpse off his head, and then he saw Lao Wu poking his head out of the water in front of him and yelling at him, and Xu Xian also surfaced not far away.

Qi Lu asked loudly, "What the fuck is going on?" ”

"I don't know." Xu Xian looked dazed.

Looking around, Qi Lu realized that this was a long and narrow river, not the West Lake that he was familiar with. The environment on both sides of the river is a whole world away from West Lake.

Qi Lu looked up and found that the sky was blocked by a large thick cloud and mist, and he couldn't see the color of the sky at all.

As far as the eye could see, mountains loomed in the clouds, and the closest to them was a forest with no end in sight, with a narrow path stretching out of the forest, the road was as smooth as a mirror connecting the riverbank, and the mountains were too dense to see where the road leads.

The three of them quickly swam to the shore and rested on the river beach. Qi Lu said while twisting his clothes, "What kind of place is this?" It can't really be brought back to ancient times by some moonlight treasure box, right? ”

"You've watched too many movies, it's just a brain-blowing." Lao Wu looked around and said, "Judging from the terrain, it doesn't look like it's in Hangzhou. ”

"Yes, how can Hangzhou have such high mountains and such dense forests." Qi Lu subconsciously touched his pocket as he spoke, only to find that his coat had already been taken off and placed on the boat of Xu Jingqiao. He frowned and said to Lao Wu, "You call Xiao Ding." ”

Lao Wu then took out his mobile phone, and just touched the screen with his fingers a few times, he angrily threw the mobile phone into the river. "Damn, the water can't be used, I'm going to buy a new one when I get back."

"Then you're going to buy a waterproof one." Qi Lu saw that everyone was almost cleaned up, so he pointed to the forest and said, "Let's go, there will be people on the road, let's go in and ask someone about the situation." ”

"Wait!" Xu Xian suddenly said: "I always feel that there is an evil aura in that wood, so everyone should not go in." ”

Qi Lu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I also feel that something is wrong in the woods, but this is the road, if we don't leave, will we sit here and wait for someone to come?" ”

"yes, even the low-pressure clouds overhead are a bit weird, and we'll have to take a chance." Lao Wu also accosted him.

At this point, Xu Xian couldn't come up with a better way to get out, so he had to nod in agreement, and the three of them dragged their tired bodies towards the forest.
