Chapter 083: Diving into the Blue Bird Lake
The Queen Mother walked out of the library and came to the Imperial Garden for a walk. On the one hand, it is to dispel sorrows, and on the other hand, it is to find out Yuzzawa's whereabouts.
The sunset is in the west mountain, the sun is full of sunshine, but no one is watching such a wonderful sunset scenery. There are too many hurried steps, too few interesting souls, and few people come and go to look up at the sky.
As soon as the Queen Mother came to the garden, before she could enjoy the scenery, she saw Gonggong Li running over in a hurry.
"Queen Mother, it's not good!"
"What's wrong? So flustered?"
"Those two masters have entered the forbidden land of the Imperial Garden!"
"What, where are you now?"
"Forgive the slave and the maid for not being talented, and I sent many people and lost them!"
"When did you come?"
"It's been three hours since I was gone!"
"This?"
The Queen Mother hurriedly walked towards Jade Bird Lake, completely ignoring the obstruction and persuasion of the palace maids and eunuchs.
Fengxing patrolled by this place and was very surprised to see this scene, so he hurriedly went to report to Liu Li.
After Liu Li heard this, he was very excited, and followed Fengxing to Jade Bird Lake. By the time they arrived, it was already dark, and there was no one in the Blue Bird Lake, and it was even more silent.
The whole Blue Bird Lake is only alive with the light of the lake and the songworms, and the other scenery should be in harmony with the dead silence atmosphere, which makes people shudder.
"Your Majesty, there's no one here, why don't we go back?"
"Did you really see your mother here?" Liu Li was a little worried, but also very surprised: I took Xue Ze to the palace, and she also knew a lot about the case, why did she still come here to visit? Could it be that they found something strange here?
"I only saw the Queen Mother walking this way, and there was advice from the palace maid. I think it's going back, the emperor doesn't have to worry!"
"But the two of them are still here, and there is no news, how can this not be worrying?"
"But they are extremely capable, and the emperor doesn't need to worry about it. On the contrary, it is the emperor, who is full of masculinity, and only met a female ghost last night, so it's better to go out and walk around less tonight!"
"Do you think I'm really afraid of those? Although my martial arts skills are not as good as Gao Hai's, they are not much different, and I also know some ways to deal with demons and monsters, how can I retreat?"
"But the emperor is the pillar of the country, and he can't care about his own safety!"
"Needless to say, since you are a pillar, you must bear the weight and protect it. Now that the two of them are missing, their lives and deaths are unknown, how can I rest assured? If you are worried, then pay attention to your surroundings, and we will go in and find out!"
Feng Xing looked at this lake and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. There was only moonlight and a few fireflies, and the light was dim, the wind was cold, and there were suspicious and shady objects everywhere, which was really scary.
As they walked, a strange object suddenly appeared on the road, and both of them stopped and marveled.
"What's that?"
"It's like a frog!"
Because of the big action of the two of them, the frog jumped from the road into the lake, causing a splash. The wind blocked Liu Li a little, but there were still water droplets splashed on Liu Li's hands.
"What, why is this water so warm?"
"I also feel like this, don't worry, don't worry, wait for me to take a closer look. ”
Liu Li watched Feng Xing squat down and looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly.
"Your Majesty, you try!"
Feng Xing came up with some lake water in his hand and let Liu Li feel it. Liu Li reached out to probe and couldn't help but be surprised.
"How hot is the water?"
"Yes, I just thought it was burning skin, but I didn't expect it to be the temperature of the lake. The grass and trees here are cold, and the wind is biting, but it is strange that there is such a high water temperature. ”
"The surface of the water is like this, and the temperature in the center of the lake must not be shallow. Could it be that the two of them also felt that the water temperature was different, so they refused to leave this lake?"
"Is there no other exit around the Blue Bird Lake? The emperor guesses that they are still staying here?"
"Yes, there's only one entrance and exit, and it's always guarded. If you don't go out for a few hours, and you're by the lake, you'll be found. It seems that they are really not on this land!"
"What does the emperor mean by this?
Feng Xing looked at the lake and felt that his thoughts were incredible. With such a big lake, the water must be very deep, who can stay underwater for that long?
Liu Li's expression was gloomy, "Perhaps, this secret is hidden in the lake, and it has been discovered by them!"
"So what are we going to do?"
"What do you say?" Liu Li took off his coat and thought to himself: Xue Ze, Xue Ze, why are you so reckless, how can you stay in the environment under the lake for a long time? You and Gao Hai must not have anything to do, wait for me to come down!
Feng Xing was stunned and looked at Liu Li in surprise. "The emperor shouldn't want to go down, right? This lake is unfathomable, and I don't know what it looks like, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"
"It's okay, I know you don't know how to water, I won't let you go down! ”
Feng Xing grabbed Liu Li and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, aren't we here to find the traces of the Queen Mother? Since there is no one here, and they are not in danger, shouldn't we ask the Queen Mother? If you go into the water and let the Queen Mother know, it is inevitable."
"It's okay, don't worry!" Liu Li took two steps forward, "The queen mother didn't find them, they should go back to the palace, don't worry about it." But the two of them have been down for a long time, the situation is unknown, and there are many bad lucks, so I can go down and take a look!"
"Your Majesty, no, it's better to wait for me to find someone who is familiar with water?!"
"No, don't make a noise about this, the more people who know, the better! The scene in the palace has been seen a thousand times. Now that I have a chance to find out, how can I miss the good fate?"
Falling into the Blue Bird Lake is like immersing yourself in a warm rock spring, and the more you sink, the warmer it gets.
After diving dozens of meters, I felt that the water temperature was unusually hot, as if there was a fire at the bottom, but I felt that the heat source was moving left and right, and the source was unknown.
"There's really something strange in the lake, Master once asked me to practice diving to hold my breath, and now I finally use it!"
Liu Li thought like this, and was about to go downstream, but suddenly felt a burst of light, which surprised him.
When he was surprised, a whirlpool quickly rolled from behind, and it was too late for Liu Li to react. Suddenly involved, not to struggle, and sink down with the whirlpool.
For a long time, there was a feeling of landing.
At about a moment, Liu Li woke up and found that he could still breathe normally. Look left and right, still in the lake.
Why is that?
Although his body was still a little wet, his clothes were almost dry, and the temperature here made him feel like he was in the hot sun. But where does this airy, dry air come from?
"How can there be such a place at the bottom of the lake? It's like a legendary palace in the water."
Liu Li stood up in disbelief and found that he could walk freely and without pressure, just like on land.
Looking around, there is no characteristic, just a transparent layer separating the water. It's like a normal house in the water, but it's surrounded by a lake.
"What is this place, and why did I end up here?"
Liu Li sighed softly, but attracted many swarthy objects to come over. They were all glued to this thin, transparent wall, and they looked vicious and scary.
"What is this?"
Liu Li was stunned, no longer looking at the black objects shaped like ghosts, but found a way to walk forward.
"Come to think of it, they also discovered this place, and they should have probed nearby to collect evidence. However, I have lived here for so many years, and I have never known that there is such a strange scene in the Blue Bird Lake, has she discovered something unusual?
Liu Li was walking briskly, and suddenly heard a strange sound, and couldn't help but look around.
On the road he walked, there was a layer of fiery red marks, each mark was like a flame burning, and there was a sense of burning in the red fire. Looking at it again, there was a pair of vicious eyes in those flames, staring at Liu Li intently.
"What is this?"
Liu Li didn't think about it, he saw a shining place, and walked quickly over there.
Looking back from time to time, Liu Li found that there were fewer red marks near the light, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
When he came to the place where the light source was, Liu Li saw a shiny red bead. The beads are bright red, with a hint of purple in the red.
The place where the beads were held was a large round platform, and there was some red water flowing on the round platform, like the color of the beads being soaked in translucent color, and like the color of blood.
On top of the round table was the bead that glowed with a strange red light, and the red bead hung off the countertop, mapping the light in all directions.
"How can there be such a thing here? The furnishings of this room seem to have been set up for it, and it seems to be very important. Could it be that it has something to do with the master here? Could it be that this master is the murderer? If the master here is the murderer, then this thing is his treasure!"
