"Hello", the honest and simple middle-aged man in front of him stretched out his broad palm and grinned, his name is Xu Hu, he is a subordinate of the Fourteenth Division of the Immortal Spirit Daoist, and he is also the person who led Li Mengshan and Fang Qingyun in this operation.

"Uncle Xu, hello", Li Mengshan shook hands with him. On the way here, Deacon Chen sent him a document detailing the operation.

"Do you know the purpose of this operation?" , Xu Hu asked after withdrawing his hand.

Li Mengshan nodded, "We have understood, the main thing is to suppress the instability of the dragon veins on the surface, and to collect as much information as possible about the tombs in the lake. ”

"Now that you all understand, then without further ado, let's go to Shaoting Lake immediately." "Okay, please let Uncle Xu lead the way!"

It was summer, cloudless, and Shaoting Lake was like a blue silk, slow and viscous. Occasionally, a breeze blows across the water, bringing ripples.

Green willows and birdsong, it should be the season when tourists are full, but at this time it is empty.

This was achieved after the Immortal Spirit Taoist reported to the government after the incident.

After showing his ID, Xu Hu drove straight into the park. When he parked the car, he led the two of them to the lake.

"Let's go to Yanran Pavilion in the middle of the lake first to stabilize the dragon vein," said Xu Hu, who was speeding on the lake in a speedboat, which was also transported later, and was not usually used at all. "Remember, when you go down to the lake, you must follow me closely, neither of you is high enough to act alone. The ghost in this lake was very fierce after absorbing the dragon vein qi. ”

Hearing this, Li Mengshan was a little surprised, "There are ghosts in this lake?" ”

"What? Little brother, you don't know? Xu Hu was also a little puzzled, "In the lakes and rivers in this world, as long as the water depth is more than three meters, I dare not say that it is certain, five or six out of ten there will be ghosts in it." ”

Compared to land, it is actually easier to retain the mind underwater. Those who turn into ghosts on the ground must be people who are extremely resentful; Underwater is different, as long as you survive the first seven days of "drenching Meng Po soup", and then survive the next seven days of "returning to heaven and earth", there is a high probability of staying and becoming a lonely ghost. It's just that there is no memory, no consciousness.

"Drenching Meng Po Soup" is to remove memories, and "returning to heaven and earth" is to forcibly withdraw the mind by heaven. But no one knows where the minds that have been recovered by the Heavenly Dao have gone in the end, some people say that it is reincarnation, some people say that it is to make up for the Heavenly Dao, and there is no unified answer.

Fang Qingyun said everything he knew and explained it to Li Mengshan.

After listening carefully, the latter suddenly asked, "Don't even have a unified concept of this thing?" ”

"It turned out to be unified," Fang Qingyun replied, "It used to be the Six Realms of Reincarnation, but in the past two hundred years, a Heavenly Dao Completion Theory has emerged. ”

"That's ......", Li Mengshan nodded and understood on his own.

Knock, bang. The speedboat leaned against the edge of the island in the middle of the lake. "Okay, we're here, let's go up", Xu Hu said loudly.

When I got to the island in the middle of the lake and entered the Yanran Pavilion, I saw a set of diving equipment and boards placed there. These were used during the previous survey and were not taken away.

"Xiao Li, choose a set and put it on, you should be the only one here who needs this set of equipment", Xu Hu turned his head to look at Li Mengshan.

"Huh? Am I the only one who wants to use it? Li Mengshan scratched his head, this low realm is really not a good thing.

"Don't get in the way, when you go back, I'll learn a few more sets of exercises. Learn everything about the turtle breath technique", Fang Qingyun comforted. "Hmm", Li Mengshan responded.

When he finished cleaning up, the group was ready to go into the water. To Li Mengshan's surprise, Xu Hu didn't even wear a protective suit, and jumped underwater with an underwater flashlight.

After entering the water, Xu Hu made a gesture and asked Li Mengshan and the two to follow closely behind him.

The water in the lake is actually quite clear, and the main purpose of using a flashlight is to rummage in the dark.

When he dived down for nearly twenty meters, Li Mengshan suddenly felt that someone had slapped the top of his head, and he subconsciously thought that Fang Qingyun had done it. But after thinking about it, no, Fang Qingyun was on the other side of Xu Hu, a meter away from him, how could he reach the top of his head? His nanoarm isn't that long, is it?

So who is that? At that moment, he was slapped on the head again. When he looked up suddenly, he saw a young man with a pale face staring at him, and his smile was so mad and so mad.

Li Mengshan's eyes widened, his mouth was open, and he choked on several mouthfuls of lake water. After Xu Hu in front heard the movement, he immediately turned around.

I saw that Li Mengshan in the back was covering his mouth and swinging his fingers everywhere, Xu Hu secretly screamed in his heart, dragged him over, and then pressed his middle finger and index finger together on his chest.

Li Mengshan's breath was suddenly enough to breathe, and he hurriedly took a few deep breaths. Fang Qingyun stepped forward at this time and stroked his back to help calm him.

After he had recovered his life, he went to look for the young man, and there was no trace of him.

Li Mengshan had to draw on the palm of his hand, and Xu Hu took a few glances before he realized that he wrote the word "ghost".

Xu Hu frowned and looked left and right. There were schools of fish all around, and there were no anomalies. He was just about to make a gesture for them to move on, when he felt something strange around his neck, and he was choked by the neck! Look down, no one! Only Li Mengshan looked at him with a confused expression.

Hmph, something that doesn't have long eyes, Xu Hu snorted coldly in his heart. He slapped it over, "Smack!" The knot hit something solidly, and even tore off a few thin scales.

After that, Fang Qingyun and Li Mengshan saw the young man with a cruel smile suddenly appear.

In the blink of an eye, the boy disappeared again.

"That's the underwater ghost of Shaoting Lake! He now has the aura of the dragon vein on his body! Xu Hu's voice sounded in Li Mengshan's mind, "Wait a minute, see if he can attack him, his sudden attack like this is too threatening, anyway, we are already very close to the dragon vein point." ”

They stayed there for a few more minutes, and sure enough, the poor man who had died at a young age did not froze. He attacked again, but this time the target of the attack was Fang Qingyun.

"Boom" The water flow was rapid, and Fang Qingyun's round fuselage was suddenly scratched and dented. With his mind turning, Fang Qingyun, who was injured, hugged the lake in front of him, and at the same time, the damaged piece of him began to shrink rapidly.

Got him! Fang Qingyun's display was an exclamation point.

"Well done! This time it's up to you how you run! Xu Hu stepped forward, and he slapped Fang Qingyun in front of him.

The lake began to shake violently, and the boy who was spitting green water fell out. He gurgled in his throat and waved his hands towards Xu Hu. Boom! Again, right in the middle of the teenager's abdomen.

After suffering this injury, the young ghost finally stopped moving, and floated in the lake with his mouth wide open.

Xu Hu pulled him over and caught him under his armpit. After that, the group dived again.

Along the way, Li Mengshan found a strange place, that is, the fish swimming around him became more and more strange the further down he went. Eventually, there was even a giant monster fish with long beards.

Moreover, these strange fish are extremely aggressive, they have been attacked a total of seven times, but they have all come over without danger under the protection of Xu Hu.

"It's here, come down!" , Xu Hu's voice sounded in his mind again.

Looking up, I could see that Xu Hu, who was pointing his finger at the bottom of the water, was beckoning them to come over.

Li Mengshan nodded to him and dived down with him.

Xu Hu had just stepped on the underwater dirt with his front foot, and rummaged around with a flashlight on his hind foot.

Two or three minutes later, Xu Hu got up, and he gave Fang Qingyun a thumbs up. Fang Qingyun immediately understood what he meant, and took out the divine relic from the space stone in his body.

It was a relic of the god of rain, one of the nine Egyptian gods of creation, the teardrop of Tephnut.

As soon as the teardrops touched the water, they emitted a strong bright red light, scaring away all the strange fish that had just gathered.

Xu Hu took it and stuffed it into the dirt. In a few moments, the dirt beneath their feet squirmed, sucking Tephnut's tears out.

After a strong suck, the god relic was firmly fixed there, as if it had been there.

After all this was over, the ghost boy under Xu Hu's crunching nest suddenly trembled, and after a while, a white light shot out from his body and went straight to the ground.

And the water of Shaoting Lake also shook slightly, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear a sound similar to a wail in the water. After a minute or two, their heads were filled with small white beams, and they all burrowed headlong into the dirt.

At the same time, another place in Shaoting Lake. A strange man with a bull's head and a human body in a Taoist robe slowly stood up, he pinched his chin and said in amazement: "It's really strange, the dragon veins of Shaoting Lake have been stabilized, is it a relic of the gods of Egypt?" And also...... There are people here who can't even count the luck of me...... That's not a lot to look like. ”

Li Mengshan and his entourage returned the same way again, this time it was much easier to go back, and the road was unimpeded.

However, when he reached the water, Xu Hu was not in a hurry to go up, he let Li Mengshan and Fang Qingyun go up first, and he showed his head on the water. He said to Li Mengshan: "Xiao Li, you go and find if there is any extra black bag next to the diving equipment, and if so, bring one over."

Li Mengshan did so, and indeed, there were several extra big black bags next to the diving equipment, and he shouted: "Yes, there is here!" Uncle Xu. ”

"Throw one at me! This little boy can't hold on anymore! "Okay, I'll drop it."

Li Mengshan threw a big black bag to Xu Hu, and the latter slipped and stabbed it again.

In about five minutes, Xu Hu came up with the big bag that seemed to contain a person. "Luckily, this time it wasn't too thrilling, but I met a ghost in the water," he said to himself.

"Is this young ghost going to be brought back to the partition?" , Fang Qingyun looked at the big bag and said loudly.

"yes!" , Xu Hu smiled, then stared at the bag in his hand and said softly: "You have to give them a place to go......"
