Chapter 34: Crescent Lake

Su Yuntian didn't dare to take it lightly, he observed the surface of the lake in case of accidents.

It wasn't until Su Meng swam to his side and left the lake that the solemnity on his face decreased slightly.

"Who's at the bottom of the lake?"

Looking at his daughter who was covering her chest with her clothes and her hair was wet and sticking to her cheeks, Su Yuntian's heart was on fire.

"I can't see clearly."

Su Meng, who had a round face like an apple and sparkling eyes, shrunk in a bush with his clothes and shouted, "He didn't do anything to me, I was just scared because of his sudden appearance." ”

"That man shouldn't have any ill intentions." He Rong kept persuading his old friend to calm down.

Su Yuntian had a cold face, still staring at the lake.

In the dim sky, the light of the golden chariot shone on the surface of the lake, which looked very calm.

Afar.

Many subordinates who were loyal to Su and He also stopped their movements and looked at the lake curiously.

A moment later, one of them suddenly broke open the surface of the lake and looked around a little blankly.

The man appeared in the middle of the lake, far away from them, his messy hair stained with aquatic weeds, and he looked rather embarrassed.

He raised a spear in the middle of the lake, and on the barrel of the long spear, fish were strung like sugar gourds.

"It should have been a misunderstanding."

He Rong smiled slightly, held down the short blade in Su Yuntian's hand, and said, "He is too far away from Su Meng's position, and he definitely doesn't want to murder Su Meng, or to spy on anything." ”

Su Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly shouted: "Little brother! ”

When Pang Jian heard the reputation, he saw Su Yuntian and He Rong, as well as the golden chariot that was torn apart.

"Crescent Lake."

He also realized in an instant where he was at the moment.

This freshwater lake in the Cen Lin Mountains looks like a crescent moon when viewed from above, so it was called the crescent moon lake by his father.

At the heart of the Crescent Lake, there is a towering mountain, and the other end of the peak should be the Black Water Pool.

Unlike the Black Water Pool, which is listed as a forbidden area, the area of Crescent Lake is a garrison he is very familiar with.

As a freshwater lake, the crescent lake is rich in fish and shrimp, and wild beasts often come to drink nearby, and it is also a place for him to catch wild animals and recuperate.

He didn't expect that at the bottom of Crescent Lake, there was a stone crevice that contained a secret stone passage that could lead to the Black Water Pool.

Seeing the familiar realm, Pang Jian suddenly felt a lot more at ease and no longer worried.

Listening to the shouting of the man by the lake, he was in the middle of the wide Crescent Lake, looking at Su Yuntian and He Rong.

Soon, he guessed that this group of people should be the same as Zhou Qingchen and Ning Yao, and they were also the so-called exploration and search team of the Seven Great Families.

After a little hesitation, he swam towards Su Yuntian.

However, he did not really swim to the shore where Su Yuntian stepped on, but went ashore a little farther away from the two.

He pulled out the flint and wood from a dense area of weeds and dead trees by the lake, and began to light a fire and grill the fish.

He was so familiar with Crescent Lake that he had spare materials at several points along the lake, as it was large enough.

Similar secret sites are found in all parts of the Cen Lin Mountains, some of which have reserves of dried meat and grain.

When he lit a fire and took the fish down from the dragon spear and roasted them with other wooden poles, Su Yuntian and He Rong discussed in surprise.

"He's familiar with it. Also, he seems to have prepared firewood, oil and salt a long time ago. He Rong touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "He should be a local." ”

"Just go over and ask."

After the neatly dressed Su Meng walked out of the grass, she rolled her eyes at the sneaky two, walked straight to Pang Jian, and asked curiously, "Did you fish under the lake before?" ”

"Hmm."

Pang Jian glanced up at her and saw that this little girl was about the same age as her sister Pang Lin, and she was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Her round little face, with a pair of bright big eyes, and two pigtails, swayed like a tiger.

"My name is Su Meng, I washed my body in the lake just now, didn't you see anything?"

Su Meng asked fiercely with his hands on his hips.

Pang Jian shook his head and said casually: "The Crescent Lake is very big, I was fishing deep underwater, and I didn't notice that there were people on it. ”

"Crescent Lake?"

Su Meng looked at this lake and felt that the name was very appropriate, she saw that Pang Jian had already explained, so she restrained the pretense of fierceness in her eyes, and said in surprise: "You are very familiar with this place?" ”

"I'm a hunter in Linshan Town, and I often go into the mountains to hunt, so of course I'm familiar with this place."

Pang Jian said lightly.

At this time, Su Yuntian and He Rong also followed.

The two looked at Pang Jian, He Rong, who had always been cautious, looked at the dragon pattern spear on the ground and said, "Do you know how to practice?" ”

Pang Jian's face remained unchanged, and he said nonsense: "There is an old man who came to the Cen Lin Mountains a few years ago to find spiritual materials to make medicine, and asked me to lead the way for him." ”

"I helped him find the spiritual material he wanted, and he taught me a method of cultivation and gave me this spear."

Although He Rong had doubts in his heart, he did not continue to ask.

"My name is Su Yuntian, this is the little girl Su Meng, and this is He Rong."

Su Yuntian made his identity clear, and also let down his guard, and said in a homely manner: "It's not very peaceful here recently, there are some complicated situations, we are from the other end of the Cen Lin Mountain Range. ”

"Little brother, since you are a hunter in the Cen Lonely Mountain Range and live in the nearby Linshan Town, can you tell us if you have noticed anything unusual recently?"

Su Yuntian humbly asks for advice,

Pang Jian grilled the fish and replied indifferently: "Not long ago, huge dry bones fell from the sky. And then there ......"

He looked at the torn golden chariot and said, "Soon after, I saw this chariot, and a huge sailing ship, and a white tower sinking. ”

"In the mountains, the mountains shook for a while, and the beasts roared all day long. I waited for everything to settle down before I came back in hunting. ”

Hearing this, Su Yuntian and He Rong exchanged a look.

Suddenly, there was a crisp eagle cry, which sounded from the top of several people's heads, and when everyone looked up, they saw a dark gray eagle, hovering above their heads.

This dark gray eagle looked at the few people below with strange eyes, and also looked at Pang Jian frequently.

It flew around in mid-air, as if observing Pang Jian from different angles, as if it wanted to carefully confirm something.

Pang Jian was a little annoyed by it, and when he wanted to draw his bow and shoot the strange eagle, he suddenly remembered that his usual bow and arrow had been discarded outside the Blackwater Pool.

The eagle flapped its wings over the heads of several people, and after flying for a while, it headed for the other end of the mountain.

"Little brother, if you don't mind, you can be a guide for us."

When the eagle left, Su Yuntian took the initiative to invite and said with a smile: "We are not familiar with the Cen Lin Mountain Range, and I am willing to pay for it not long after we came in." ”

Pang Jian, who had grilled a few fish, was already feasting, and said vaguely in his mouth: "I'll think about it." ”

……

The other end of the mountain.

Blackwater Pool.

Luo Hongyan, who possessed Ning Yao, suddenly closed his eyes, and connected with the eagle hovering in the air with a divine thought, observing the heaven and earth below from multiple angles through the eagle.

After a moment, she snorted, "Found you." ”

Behind her, a gray shadow that was clearer than Luo Meng floated quietly, and it was the dark ghost Hong Tai.

This dark ghost leader who cultivated to the marrow cleansing realm still fell into her poisonous hands, and was condensed into a "spirit evil" by her soul, and became a slave for her to send.

"That kid never left the black pool, but he came out of the lake at the other end, indicating that there was a secret passage at the bottom of the pool."

"I just don't know if the dark giant snake with only the beast soul is with him."

Looking at the black water pool, Luo Hongyan thought that since Pang Jian had left, maybe the "Dark Giant Dragon" from the Fifth Realm would also be with him.

Luo Hongyan, who had the intention to explore the Black Water Pool, pondered it for a while, and sighed: "The phoenix pith was sucked into the bronze gate by that kid, and only the bones of the dark giant snake were left under the water, and I just couldn't take it away." ”

She quickly dismissed the idea.

After a while, her eyes lit up slightly, and a brilliant new idea suddenly came to mind.

Dressed in a red dress, she appeared in Ning Yao's sea of consciousness as a spirit, looking at Ning Yao, who was detained in the dark, with a hazy shadow.

"Ning girl, tell me about your situation carefully, don't force me to ask for it through soul searching. I plan to use this body of yours for a while, and I hope you can cooperate well. ”

"If you search for souls, your soul won't be complete afterwards, and you shouldn't want to do that, right?"

She smiled and threatened.

Ning Yao, who was illusory and vague, swayed like a candle in the wind, and said in a trembling voice: "What do you want to know?" ”

"Everything that happened after you met that kid."

Half an hour later, the hovering eagle flew over.

Luo Hongyan looked at the cloth bag that was thrown away by Pang Jian and terminated the employment relationship with Ning Yao, and squatted down with a smile to pick it up again.

She landed on the eagle with Ning Yao's body, and smiled: "This bag of broken silver, I want to use it again." ”

The eagle suddenly flew.

Several "spirits" such as Hongtai and Luo Meng turned into fleeting gray clouds, and they followed the flying eagles to the other end of the mountain.

……

Crescent Lake.

Pang Jian, who was well fed and drunk, stepped on the fish bones on the ground, put oil, salt, and matches in their places, and covered them with blades of grass.

Immediately, he stood up with the dragon spear and said coldly, "I should go." ”

He declined Su Yuntian's invitation.

He knew that He Rong and Su Yuntian were really from the bottom two of the Seven Great Families, and the direction these two families wanted to go was precisely the Black Water Pool at the other end of the mountain.

- He doesn't plan to return to Blackwater.

In the bamboo basket on his back, there were many spirit stones for him to cultivate, he could never starve to death in the Cen Lin Mountains, and he did not have such an urgent need for money at present.

He just wanted to stay away from the crowd and find a place to test his body that had been tempered by the phoenix pith for the second time.

With the two families of Suga on his side, it was inconvenient for him to do anything.

"Well, we don't force you. By the way, why did you turn a blind eye to the broken objects of the golden chariot when you were fishing under the lake? Su Yuntian asked with a regretful expression.

Pang Jian replied: "I thought that no one would come, and I thought that I would check the gold utensils after I had caught the fish and had eaten and drunk enough." Since you're here, I don't have any ideas, and I can't rob you anyway. ”

Su Yuntian smiled dumbly: "You kid is not greedy, and you know how to advance and retreat." ”

He snorted softly, called an old servant, asked the old servant to take a purse and handed it to Pang Jian, and said with a smile: "It's just some broken silver, and it should be regarded as a reward for asking you for news." Wait until you leave the Cen Lonely Mountains, and the silver two are ...... It's still kind of useful to you. ”

Pang Jian was a little surprised, but he didn't politely refuse, and after taking it, he said, "There will be a period later." ”

After he left, these people from the Su family and the He family still stayed in Crescent Lake.

They also went to catch fish under the Crescent Lake, and also used the firewood left by Pang Jian to cook.

A group of people were roasting fish around the fire, and when they were eating happily, suddenly a woman came alone and shouted from afar: "Where is Pang Jianren? ”

"Ning Yao!"
