Finally, in front of a lake, I saw the outline of a large town, it was a very large town, and as far as I could see, there were tens of thousands of houses in this town, and the houses were built in an orderly manner, facing the lake in front of me.

Presumably this is the name of this lake, Biluo, it sounds good, and the lake water also fits the name, the water is full of reefs, the lake is calm as a mirror, and the rising sun is sprinkled on the lake, and the starting point is golden. It is said to be a lake, but it is actually much larger than a real lake, just because this huge lake looks like a stagnant water, and cannot be called a sea or a river.

I took a closer look, the water level was very deep, it was dark underwater, the lake was still far away from that town, and I wondered if the "falling feather" that Lu Dao Yu Realm had taught me could walk over from the water. I wanted to take a detour, but when I looked closely, there were mountains on both sides of the lake, like the Great Wall, which surrounded both sides of the lake.

Sandwiched between the mountains, the only way to jump over the mountains is to jump over them, but this is extremely difficult for ordinary people, the mountains are steep, and the surface is covered with moss due to perennial erosion of water vapor, and if you are not careful, you may fall from mid-air. And there are many plants growing on the mountains, and it is inevitable that there will be snakes, insects, rats, ants and some fierce beasts, and the most worrying thing is the mutated creatures, which like to hide in the shadows and attack people at every opportunity.

It seems that it took a lot of effort to build this town, and it is not easy to transport the materials required for the project, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, such a large project can be completed in just a few months, compared to the Great Wall built by Qin Tian back then!

Think about it, after the outbreak of the virus, many people who have not been infected have become stronger after the baptism of the virus, and I call them mutants. Each mutant has his own unique skills, and as far as I've seen, I can't find two out of ten mutants with the same skills. I don't know where the people of this town migrated from, and the person in charge of this project is not simple, but it is actually possible to find such a terrain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the lake, easy to defend and easy to attack. If an enemy invades, you can launch a boat on the surface for a long-range attack on the surface, or you can attack it from underwater.

I took a deep breath and decided to dive underwater into the interior of the town, which would save me unnecessary trouble. Even if I knew that my current ability could go over the water, I wouldn't do that, because being seen would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and there might be people watching me in the shadows in the future, which would be bad for me. After going through a lot of things, my ideas are no longer as naïve as before, and everyone understands the truth of making a big move, but there are few who can really do it, so I decided to hide my strength.

The area of the lake is very large, it is estimated that there are hundreds of zhang, and ordinary people do not say that diving past, even swimming over is a very difficult thing. But I can do this, although I devoured the heart of the nine-tailed fox, I can breathe freely like a normal person, but fortunately, the secret method of holding my breath has not been lost, and I can still hold my breath underwater for three hours.

During the underwater journey, I found that there were many fish in the water, and none of these fish showed signs of being infected by the virus, indicating that the water of this lake is drinkable. A quarter of an hour after I had dived underwater, I encountered an undercurrent, which was so rapid that I could not hold myself steady for a while, so I was carried into the whirlpool under the water with the undercurrent.

Since I didn't have a point to borrow, even though I had a lot of strength, I was like a dragon trapped in the shallows under the water. I was taken deeper by the whirlpool, and under the water, it was unusually dark, and I had no choice but to open the Eye of the Sky.

With the help of the Eye of the Sky, I saw that the underwater ground was flat, and occasionally there was a reef, and when I looked up, there was a huge whirlpool above my head, and I had been swept into it just now. Deep underwater, there was a faint black looming, and when I got closer, I realized that it was an ancient building.

When I dived in front of me and took a closer look, I saw that there was more than one building, and I saw that the bottom of the water was densely packed with houses, which looked different from the houses outside. I stood on the roof of one of the houses and found that the roof was made of bluestone tiles, soaked under the water for many years, and the roof was covered with weeds and moss.

It seems that this was once a village, there are hundreds of large and small houses, all of which are made of bluestone blocks, it is estimated that there are at least hundreds of years of history, and now the houses outside have long been free of bluestone tiles and bluestone blocks, most people use glazed tiles and red stones that have been processed and refined, this kind of stone is much harder than bluestone.

I dived into the depths of the building to see what was going on, and there was a village underwater, it looked like it had been a village, but it was hard to figure out why it would sink to the bottom of the lake.

Due to the perennial flooding of the village, many of the houses have fallen from place to place, and half of them have been submerged in the mud. Presumably this is just a ruin, I am not archaeological, so it doesn't mean much to me, so I decided to go up, and at this moment I saw a stone slab inserted diagonally in the soil, and there seemed to be words on the stone slab.

I pulled out the slate and wiped the dirt off it, revealing three bold characters.

"Jingxin Village"

The text is carved with traditional inscriptions, and the handwriting has not been corroded over time. I seem to have heard the name Jingxin Village somewhere, and I suddenly remembered that when I first came to Taikoo, I met Zhang Lei, and he told me the legend.

Legend has it that a thousand years ago, there was a man named Seventeen, who wore a hat that covered his entire face, and Seventeen stayed in a village called Jingxin, and the kind villagers took him in. One evening, Jingxin Village holds its annual bonfire outside the village, which is the custom of the villagers to celebrate the harvest of the year.

At that time, there were a few half-old children in the village, and several children were usually pampered, and they poked out the basket, but fortunately, they were all petty fights, and the adults did not strengthen control. But that night, they poked out the big basket, that night, the villagers of Jingxin Village held a bonfire outside the village, Seventeen did not go, he locked himself in his room, I don't know what Lu Dao was doing, in the eyes of several children, Seventeen was a strange person, he never talked to others, and he never took off the hat on his head.

That night, the children took advantage of the adults' absence and decided to go to Seventeen's quarters. When they pierce the window paper, Seventeen's fate is changed by these children.

The flesh on Seventeen's face had long since rotted, and several of the children were horrified when they saw this, and they scrambled to run first, and one of the children inadvertently tripped over the flower pot outside the window, alarming Seventeen in the house. Seventeen catches up with him to explain, but he is insulted by the villagers, who begin to think that Seventeen is a monster and decide to burn him.

When Seventeen was tied to a wooden frame, when the flames began to burn, the Demon God who had been sealed in Seventeen's body woke up, the Demon God attacked the villagers, and the bonfire party turned into a massacre, and Seventeen did not hesitate to destroy himself to completely seal the Demon God in order to protect the villagers. Back then, that seventeen was the first person of the Tianya Taoist, Li Yuankun, that is, my true body in my previous life.
