In the calm surface of the lake, waves of water ripple along the junction between the fishing line and the lake, constantly spreading, and the fishing line shakes violently, indicating that something has been hooked.

Qin Feng was slightly stunned at first, and then, his face showed ecstasy, and he clenched the fishing rod with both hands, and couldn't help but tremble.

The first time, it was the first time he had this phenomenon, and he was so excited that he couldn't even control his hands.

As a fishing brother, Qin Feng is a person who has never caught a fish, and even described it as a precursor to fishing.

Not only did I not encounter any precursors of being hooked, but I also did not even see the shadow of a fish.

Now that he suddenly saw it, he realized that he must have changed his luck.

"I say that people can decline for a while, but they can't decline for a lifetime." Qin Feng said excitedly.

"Breathe flat, try to feel the vibration of the rod, and as the rod vibrates, start exerting force, be sure to be slow."

"Don't be nervous at this time, you have to be calm."

"You can't use brute force, you have to learn to use skill!"

Qin Feng muttered to himself as he carefully manipulated the fishing rod.

If there were people who knew Qin Feng here, they would definitely be full of surprise, because the current Qin Feng was completely different from before.

In the past, Qin Feng was murderous, and he could take away a life with his hands, but now he has become nervous, like a person who has never seen the world.

Looking at this nervous expression, as well as the shaking hands, it was completely incompatible with the previous Qin Feng.

Of course, Qin Feng didn't care about this.

All he cared about was the fish in front of him.

This is the first time he has a fish on the bait, saying that he is not nervous, it is false, no one can understand this feeling, this feeling can only be deeply experienced by those of them who fish.

Qin Feng was working hard to manipulate the fishing rod according to the skills he usually learned, and the fishing line was constantly rising upward.

The hanging thing surfaced, and when Qin Feng saw what he had caught, the whole body was devastated, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he was stunned and crackled on his body, scorching him on the outside and tender on the inside.

The line is not fished, it is tightly wound.

At the place where the fishing line was entangled, a complete white bone was directly caught by him.

As a person who is addicted to fishing, he has also listened to many explanations from his predecessors.

In their line of work, when fishing, it is easy to encounter some strange things.

For example, what kind of turtle is caught, or what shrimp is caught, this is a common operation.

What's more, catching one or two water snakes is also commonplace.

But now, Qin Feng has caught a white bone, which is indeed incredible.

Of course, as a genius of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect, the white bones in front of him could not affect him in the slightest, and he even felt tasteless.

He'd seen even more disgusting things, not to mention just this white bone.

"Maybe someone fell into the water, and no one was found, or they were not salvaged, and in the long run, it became like this." Qin Feng thought.

He didn't catch a fish, and his mood became very bad again, and he was ready to get up, untie the white bone in front of him, and continue to start again.

But before he could make a move, he had just walked to the lake, and when he didn't stretch out his hands, the white bone in front of him suddenly moved.

The white bone was originally entangled by the fishing line, but when Qin Feng approached, the white bone slowly raised his right arm and began to untie the fishing line on his body.

On the surface, this action is extremely terrifying.

A white skeleton, suddenly alive, and as nimble as a human, eerie, permeating the lake.

Qin Feng took a step back, frowned, and looked at the lake not far away.

On the surface of the lake, a layer of white fog suddenly appeared, enveloping the whole lake, it was already late at night, under the shroud of white fog, black and white were intertwined, and the strong contrast suddenly appeared, which looked extremely strange.

And in the outermost layer of the white mist, Bai Gu also stopped untying the fishing line, and suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it at Qin Feng in the air.

There was still a distance of two or three meters between the two sides, but with the movement of the white bones, the surrounding white mist began to surge violently.

On the surface of the lake, the white mist gathered into a palm the size of a grinding plate, and it slapped down at Qin Feng.

The process looks slow, but in a matter of moments, it has already happened.

Looking at the palm in front of him that was composed of white mist, Qin Feng frowned, and at the same time raised his sword finger and waved it slightly.

"Boom!"

A long roar came from the scabbard, and the long sword was instantly unsheathed and slashed towards the white bones.

The long sword is like the wind, with unrivaled might, from top to bottom, a sword in the air.

The water of the lake shook violently, and with the direction of the long sword, it continued to spread to both sides, setting off huge waves two feet high.

The white bone in front of him, under the power of the long sword, turned into debris all over the ground, drifted with the wind, and disappeared into the lake.

In an instant, everything returned to quiet, the white mist disappeared, the white bones were gone, and they returned to their normal appearance, leaving only Qin Feng alone, standing by the lake and thinking.

"Spooky, or by the lake?" Qin Feng finally gave up his plan to fish for the time being, because what appeared in front of him made him fall into thought.

"It's not like a drowning person, the ability just now is more like what this white bone would have before he was born, could it be that after the Jianghu people died, they were thrown into the water?"

The ability of the white bone just now, condensing the white mist and turning into a huge palm, is not the same as the weirdness of dying in the water.

That kind of proficiency is more like a Jianghu person who still retains his ability after he dies.

As we all know, after people die, there is a probability of becoming weird, the difference is only in the strength of the strong or not, the more powerful the Jianghu people, after death, become weird and stronger.

"It seems that it is really as the master said, the water in Yunlai Mansion is very deep." Qin Feng said secretly.

He is Chu Yu's cousin, in fact, he doesn't need to be called the head teacher, but he is a person who respects the rules, no matter when, he is called this way.

"I'll need to contact my cousin and tell her to be careful."

Qin Feng looked at the lake in front of him, and he didn't have the heart to fish, so he packed up his fishing rod and prepared to turn around and leave.

He had to go back quickly and tell Chu Yu about the abnormality here, after all, he came here because of this cousin.

If an irreparable loss is caused because of an negligence, the head coach must pick his skin.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng shuddered unconsciously.

It is said that he is extremely murderous in the Guyue Sword Sect, but in fact, the one who is really murderous is Chu Yu's mother.

After cleaning up for a while, there is actually nothing to clean up, just a fishing rod.

Qin Feng was about to leave immediately, but before leaving, there was an abnormality on the surface of the lake.

After such a toss just now, it has been a period of time, and the lake has already fallen into calm, and just when Qin Feng was just about to leave, the calm lake surface rippled again.

Water ripples appeared, this time it was different from before, and the whole lake was one small water ripple after another.

When this happens to the whole lake, the scene is very shocking, and the water ripples touch each other and gradually spread into the distance.

Qin Feng stood in place, he didn't feel any weirdness, but the scene in front of him was even weirder than weird.

The ripples didn't last long, it only took a few breaths before it slowly subsided.

Although the scene in front of him has subsided, a more terrifying scene has appeared.

On the surface of the lake, there are white things emerging one after another, at first just small lotus tips and sharp corners, but as time passes, the whole picture is slowly revealed.

Bones!

Bone after bone emerged from the water, filling the entire lake.

These bones were large and small, the big ones were about the same as adults, but the small ones were like children.

The white bones in the lake are not moving, which is very different from the weirdness that appeared at the beginning, but it looks very ordinary.

Of course, this kind of ordinariness is only like this in Qin Feng's eyes, if it were an ordinary person here, he would already be scared and his legs would be weak.

"There's something at the bottom of the lake." Qin Feng looked at the lake, and after thinking for a moment, he came to a conclusion.

But he didn't take any action, but thought about returning to the mansion as soon as possible and telling Xu Bai about it.

When he came, the master told him that if his cousin was not in danger, let him come back quickly, and if there was a threat, stay there and act as a protector.

But the matter of Yunlai Mansion, he didn't want to add more hands and feet, and left it to Xu Bai and them to do, it was the most correct, he only needed to ensure the safety of his cousin.

So now in this situation, Qin Feng didn't plan to delve into it, but immediately turned his head and walked towards the mansion.

In the darkness, Qin Feng's figure became farther and farther away until he disappeared.

……

Yunlai Mansion, Mansion.

Xu Bai was sitting on the chair, swinging with the chair, while looking at the clay pot in his hand.

The progress bar on it was slowly growing, and with each point he grew, the more excited he became.

Although he was no longer surprised, there was still no way to hide this excitement, especially when he was alone.

This is a very simple truth, for example, you can draw a lottery every day, but the things you get from each lottery are different, and the excitement is also updated every day.

"In this way, the progress bar of the clay pot is faster than the progress bar of the Gu Yue Flying Sword Technique." Xu Bai leaned back in his chair and thought while looking at the progress bar.

After all, Gu Yuefei's swordsmanship requires scattered livers, while clay pots don't, so it's different in terms of time spent.

"What kind of skill is it?" Xu Bai looked forward to it more and more in his heart.

It's cold at night, and there's a cool breeze outside, and although there are doors and windows, you can still hear it clearly.

Looking at it like this, the sleepiness gradually came, Xu Bai estimated the time, and it was almost time to rest, so he put the clay pot in a hidden place and prepared to go to bed.

At this time, there was a sudden movement at the door, and Xu Bai stood up and looked in the direction of the door.

"Who?"

This sentence came out, and there was a quick reply.

"Me, Qin Feng."

Hearing the reply outside the door, Xu Bai's brows furrowed.

At this time, I suddenly came to him, and it was already late at night, could it be that something big happened?

He and Qin Feng have a very shallow relationship, they have only met once, there is no need to come to him in the middle of the night, there must be a cat.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai came to the door, opened the door, and saw Qin Feng carrying a fishing rod on his shoulder, looking around left and right, looking cautious.

"Why are you so careful when you attack the widow's village at night, or kick the widow's door at night?" Xu Bai teased with interest.

Of course, Qin Feng heard the ridicule, and didn't say much, three steps and two steps, walked into the room, and said mysteriously: "If I have that ability, I have been sneaking around for a long time, how can I still come to you, didn't I go fishing today, guess what I encountered?" ”

Xu Bai closed the door with his backhand and said, "What did you encounter, caught a big fish?" ”

Qin Feng grinned, always feeling that Xu Bai's words were pouring salt on his wounds.

But the key thing is that Xu Bai is extremely correct, and he has no room for refutation.

He felt that if he continued to talk to Xu Bai, he wouldn't have to do anything else tonight, so he didn't stop on this topic and told what happened tonight.

When he spoke, he tried to be as concise and clear as possible, and he said it clearly when he was only half-burning.

The room fell silent, Xu Bai sat on the chair, lightly tapping his fingers on the tabletop, thinking about what Qin Feng had just said.

If it were a normal time, he might not think too much, but now there is an enemy lurking in the shadows, and this incident has appeared, and it is easy to associate it together.

"Come with me." Xu Bai said.

"Wait, wait, I'm not here to be your helper, just to keep my cousin safe by the way." Qin Feng felt that at this time, he had to explain, otherwise the other party would pull him over as a thug.

Xu Bai stopped, turned his head, and looked at Qin Feng with very strange eyes.

Being stared at by Xu Bai's gaze, Qin Feng felt uncomfortable.

"Come, Brother Qin, sit down and listen to me give you a look at the relationship." Xu Bai was not in a hurry, and beckoned Qin Feng to sit down.

Although Qin Feng was puzzled, when he saw Xu Bai's action, he also subconsciously sat aside and waited for Xu Bai to continue.

Xu Bai brushed his thoughts for a moment and said, "You want to protect Chu Yu's safety, right?" ”

Qin Feng nodded, indicating that this was the case.

"Chu Yu is now my student, and if I want to go, she will follow me." Xu Bai continued.

Qin Feng's face was slightly sluggish, but he quickly nodded again.

That makes sense, there's nothing wrong with it, and he can't fault anything.

Xu Bai finally added: "If she follows me, she will definitely encounter dangerous things, and you are not around, so what should I do?" ”

Qin Feng: "......"

I don't know why, he always feels that the other party is fooling him.

But the key problem is that there is nothing wrong with what the other party said.

He protects Chu Yu, and Chu Yu wants to follow Xu Bai again, that is to say, he has to follow Xu Bai.

Qin Feng sighed: "I found out that you are really handy in pulling people on the boat." ”

As a genius of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect, Qin Feng was not a stupid person, and he quickly thought of the true meaning.

Isn't this a typical example of pulling him on the boat and letting him be a grasshopper on a rope, but it's just a reason that people can't refuse.

However, this reason really cannot be denied, because every word is to the point.

If Qingxue was here, he would definitely raise his hands and shout: "Big pit!" ”

At the beginning, Qingxue also came back to tell Xu Bai the clues, but she was pulled onto the boat, and now Qin Feng is the same.

Xu Bai patted Qin Feng's shoulder and said with a serious face: "How can I be that kind of person, I am here to make you better complete the task." ”

Qin Feng's face was full of disbelief: "Let's not say anything, I admit it, what are your plans now?" ”

Whether he was pulled on the boat or not, there is no need to say more now, anyway, he admitted it, after all, he wanted to protect his cousin's safety.

"Of course, it's up to someone more suitable." Xu Bai walked to the door, opened the door, and looked at the dark night outside: "Brother Yun should like this news very much." ”

With that, he lifted his feet and walked towards the night.

Qin Feng was stunned in place for a while, and after reacting, he hurriedly followed behind Xu Bai.

The two didn't communicate any way, went straight to Yun Zihai's room, and soon came to the door.

The darkness around them is like ink, so thick that it can't be dissolved.

Even at this level of darkness, Yun Zihai's room was still brightly lit, and when he walked to the door, he could still hear the sound of flipping books, as well as Yun Zihai's trademark coughing sound.

Xu Bai raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

Soon, a voice came from inside the door.

"It's Brother Xu, the door is not locked."

Yun Zihai's voice was slightly weak, and when he said this, he coughed from time to time.

Xu Bai frowned.

As he worked day and night, he could feel that the other person's body was deteriorating at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Congenital insufficiency, coupled with the fact that he is getting more and more tired now, Xu Bai always feels that Yun Zihai is getting weaker and weaker.

"Brother Xu, what did you bring him over?" Yun Zihai had also seen Qin Feng, and he had seen it when Xu Bai came back before, so he didn't think it was strange, but he felt that Xu Bai must have something to do when he brought her over.

Yun Zihai didn't know much about the Guyue Sword Sect, but he had heard that this sect was very secretive, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Tell me what you know." Xu Bai didn't waste time and spoke bluntly about the topic.

Qin Feng nodded and told the story of the matter.

After listening to what Qin Feng said, Yun Zihai fell into deep thought.

After a while, Yun Zihai stood up and walked back and forth in the room, thinking as he walked, his brows tightly locked.

"Why don't we go over and have a look?" Clouds from the sea road.

"Actually, I didn't need to go over to see it, I thought about it when I came back, but it was just because I fished out the first white bone and caused the follow-up." Qin Feng organized his language and spoke.

"According to this situation, it seems likely that some mechanism was triggered, after all, in that lake, there are no other strange things on weekdays, and there are even fish."

"Because I fished out the white bones, it also became weird, and I opened the mechanism, so there was a state full of white bones."

Speaking of this, Qin Feng closed his mouth, indicating that he had finished speaking.

"If that's the case, then it's even more necessary." Xu Bai said.

"Why?" Qin Feng said that he didn't understand very much, he had already said a rough guess, why did he have to go over again.

"You guessed what you guessed, not what we saw, and if it's what you say, there's definitely something at the bottom of the lake." Xu Bai said.

"In that case, I'll go find someone, and we'll level the lake." Yun Zihai clapped his hands and decided to come down.

If there is really something at the bottom of the lake, they will not go down when there is water.

"With such a big lake, it may not be too late for you to find someone." Xu Bai stood up and said, "Let the officials surround the surroundings, and let's do the rest." ”

When Yun Zihai heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Soon, he figured out what Xu Bai meant.

When it comes to destructive power, the combination of several of them leveling a lake is as simple as eating and drinking.

"Brother Xu, this is too rude." Yun Zihai smiled bitterly.

"In extraordinary times, doing extraordinary things, and besides, this is the simplest and most effective way, compared to finding someone to fill in the fill, plus pumping, there is too much time in between." Xu Bai shook his head and said solemnly: "If it is late, it will change." ”

Qin Feng looked left and right, and said strangely: "Why don't you let someone else come, we can actually use this time to fish people out." ”

When Xu Bai and the two were talking about this issue just now, Qin Feng had been thinking about it, in fact, he could think about it in a different way.

If it were to be done by ordinary people, it would take time, whether it was to raise manpower or dry the lake halfway, it would take a long waiting period.

But this waiting period is not in vain.

When they were building a large number of buildings, the people behind them must know that if this has something to do with those people, those people must have made a move, and they will invite another gentleman into the urn, and it will be done.

In Qin Feng's opinion, this was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, but he couldn't understand why Xu Bai didn't do it.

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Xu Bai and Yun Zihai glanced at each other, and then shook their heads in unison.

Qin Feng had a lot of doubts on his face, and he always felt that these two people were very mysterious and particularly insidious.

"We're already in the same boat, just say anything you want, it's useless for you to hide me."

He was appetized by these two people, and now he especially wants to know what tricks these two people are thinking.

"Come on." Xu Bai said.

Yun Zihai nodded, and then raised two fingers: "Actually, at the beginning, I also had the same idea as you, but after Brother Xu said his method just now, I think Brother Xu must have taken two levels into account." ”

"First, whether this discovery is the other party's secret hand or not, if not, we will get things faster than the other party."

"Second, if it is, then the other party will definitely find a way to stop us, no matter when, we are the same when we wait for the rabbit, and we will be fast to the other party."

If it is really one of the plans of the people behind the scenes, it will definitely prevent them from sabotage, and the faster they act, the faster the people behind the scenes will definitely be, and the speed is directly proportional to them.

Qin Feng was even more puzzled: "But what if the other party doesn't think so, we are too fast, and the other party hasn't even made a move, isn't it a waste of an opportunity?" ”

This time, it was not Yun Zihai who answered him, but Xu Bai.

"Can you guarantee that you will definitely succeed? What if the other party has another plan, which we didn't expect, what if we didn't wait for the rabbit and let the other party succeed in vain? Xu Bai asked like a soul.

After saying this, Qin Feng finally understood, revealing an expression of sudden realization.

Now that you have a new clue, it's best to hold it firmly in your hands, and although it's good to wait for the rabbit, if the rabbit is too fine, it's not cost-effective.

"Let's go, finish things early, rest early, you guys get ready, I'll call Chu Yu." Xu Bai said a few words, then left Yun Zihai's room directly and walked towards Chu Yu's position.

When he called Chu Yu up, Chu Yu was still sleepy-eyed, obviously asleep and forced to get up.

However, as soon as he heard that there was a new discovery, Chu Yu's drowsiness disappeared, and he changed his clothes with excitement on his face, followed behind Xu Bai, and walked to the gate in a hurry.

Outside the door, it was pitch black, and it was still a long time before the next morning, and Yun Zihai and Qin Feng were already waiting at the door.

"Let's go." Xu Bai waved his hand and said.

The few people did not hesitate any longer and hurried towards the lake......

……

Xu Bai and the others were on their way, and on the other side, Hongfan, who was far away from the government, looked at the letter paper in his hand, and his face was full of caution.

She just stared at the letter so closely, her hands were clutched, and she couldn't stop trembling, and her eyes were more helpless than cautious.

It was a long time before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect the person in charge to contact me for the first time, but it was because his arrangement was exposed."

"It's really okay, they just chose me and let me take this risk, don't you know that now the Chen family has been exposed to the enemy's eyes?"

"Damn! I can't help but go. ”

Although Hongfan's face was expressionless, her heart was turned up with monstrous waves, like a drifting boat, facing the threat of huge wind and waves.

She was exposed, and she became more and more convinced that Ghost Qi had betrayed her and shook out the affairs of the Chen family.

Recently, she ordered the head of the Chen family not to do anything else, which was also a temptation in itself.

Xu Bai and Yun Zihai did not make any movement, which deepened her suspicion that the other party was waiting for her to make a move, and once she made a move, she would definitely face a stormy blow.

After all, now the other party doesn't know where she is, and she doesn't want to startle the snake, once her so-called snake appears, she will face a terrifying follow-up.

So during this period of time, she has been walking on thin ice, but she didn't expect that today's letter paper disrupted her entire plan.

According to the letterhead, she must stop at all costs from stepping into the lake.

And the letter also highlights another path that can lead to the bottom of the lake from another hidden passage.

Is it dangerous?

It's dangerous.

There is no absolute certainty in this world, only the risk can be reduced, but it is impossible to reduce the risk to zero.

Pink's sighs grew heavier, and finally, she burned the letter and beckoned to the darkness.

In the darkness, the head of the Chen family walked out, his face was full of respect, but in this respect, there was a trace of greed, and his greedy eyes stared directly at the red powder.

"Come here, I'll tell you something, you helped me do it, I'll give you everything you want." Red Pink Road.

Without the slightest hesitation, the head of the Chen family walked up to Hongfan, and his eyes, with his head drooping, stared at Hongfan's thighs.

"Now, you go to a place, go through the secret passage of that place, enter the destination, and ......," Pink said slowly.

The head of the Chen family nodded as he listened.

Without the slightest hesitation, after the red powder finished speaking, he just said yes and left the place.

Hongfan looked at the back of the head of the Chen family and showed a sneer.

"Although I am a member of the Dark Building, I have lived in this place since I was a child, and I can use it for your Dark Building, but it does not mean that I can give my life at any time."

"It's a test, if it happens, I'm still a member of yours, if it doesn't......"

Pink looked up at the darkness in the sky thoughtfully.

……

The other side.

Xu Bai and the others rushed to the lake non-stop, and when they saw the scene in front of them, Xu Bai's brows furrowed slightly.

Maybe they came early, but the other party didn't react, and there were still countless white bones floating on the surface of the lake, which looked particularly gloomy under the cover of this dark night.

"On the way we came, there was no trace of anyone stepping on it, but that doesn't mean he didn't come from other directions." Clouds from the sea road.

"Let's get started, hurry." Xu Bai turned his head to look at everyone.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in unison.

The lake was huge, at least much bigger than the small one I encountered in the suburbs.

Xu Bai pulled out the ghost head knife on his waist, and after running the true yuan force, he slashed in the air, and the gang qi spread with the blade and slashed above the lake.

The power of this knife was amazing, and the lake raised high waves and rose into the sky.

When the waves rose, Yun Zihai waved the brush in his hand and wrote words in mid-air, and the words fell into the book in his left hand, turning all the waves into the air.

On the other side, Qin Feng pinched the sword technique, and with a sword in the air, all the waves were cut off and turned into small splashes.

"Ho!"

Chu Yu cast the Heartless Heart Sutra, and when her heart walked at will, the newly acquired long sword was carried on her back, and it also rose directly into the air, turning into sword shadows, and chopping the remaining water splashes into even smaller water droplets.

"I have trained the outline so quickly, my cousin is really amazing." Qin Feng praised.

Xu Bai didn't pay attention to this, and when the water turned into water droplets, he raised his left hand and waved his sleeve.

Patches of wind rose in all directions, pushing down the water droplets in front of them and pushing them towards the trees in the distance.

A light rain began to fall in the trees in the distance, and many animals made strange noises, obviously not expecting the rain to come so quickly.

After a short period of time, the lake has become much smaller.

"Go on." Xu Bai said.

Everyone didn't talk nonsense, and continued to act according to the cooperation just now.

I have to say that this lake is indeed quite large, and it took them about half a column of incense to empty the entire lake.

The surrounding woods were all wet with the lake, as if they had just experienced a storm.

Xu Bai walked to the lake, and when he saw the scenery in front of him, his eyes lit up slightly.

Through the bright moonlight, you can see the bottom of the lake, and there is a black hole that one person can pass through.

"Finally found it."
