Everyone smelled the smell of food wafting in the air, and they all quickened their pace, Gu Shiyi's eyes were even more hungry, and he hurriedly ran two steps and came to the steward, who glanced at her and gave her a thick bowl,

"What's your name?"

"Gu ......"

Gu Shiyi's hungry head was dizzy, and he almost reported his real name,

Li ...... Li Yan'er ......"

"How do you look like a woman's name, you're a woman?"

The steward looked Gu Shiyi up and down, and Gu Shiyi smiled,

"The family was poor and couldn't support themselves, so they took the name of a girl!"

"Hmm!"

The steward didn't ask much, but motioned to the person behind him to write down the name.

"Go ahead!"

Let Gu Shiyi go in to eat.

Touching stones in Gu's house is a daily settlement system, doing a day's work, eating a day's food, and receiving a day's money, so register at the steward's office every morning, and then eat and go into the water to touch the stones, and after carrying the stones, someone will mark a stroke under the name, and when it gets dark, you can go to the steward to settle the bill!

Gu Shiyi took the big bowl and trotted all the way to several huge wooden barrels, there was a woman holding the spoon, who spooned a full bowl of rice for her, and poured a big spoonful of broth on it, and there were large pieces of meat and vegetables, Gu Shiyi took the chopsticks and squatted next to it to eat.

She had already been hungry, and she had eaten so much that she had gobbled it up, and by the time the people who came behind had finished the meal and squatted on the side of the road like her, she had already gotten up to serve a second bowl.

Working in the Gu family, the food is enough, I am not afraid of you eating, I am afraid that you will not work after eating!

Gu Shiyi ate five bowls in a row before burping and handed the bowl back to the steward, who had already noticed that this guy was probably running to rub rice, and asked her,

"Finished eating?"

Gu Shiyi nodded,

"Eat!"

"When you're done, go to work!"

As he spoke, he asked Gu Shiyi to stuff two bamboo baskets, as well as a palm-wide belt, and before going into the water, he had to tie the belt around his waist and hang a bamboo basket on it.

Gu Shiyi took it and went to the lake.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and she stood on the edge of the lake and looked into the distance, and the beautiful Blue Moon Lake was in front of her.

This big lake is shaped like a crescent moon, the two ends are sharp and open in the middle, there are more than 100 miles in the open place, only one mile in the narrow place, but there are two or three hundred miles long, because of the blue moon stone at the bottom of the lake, the lake water presents a blue color, the shallow place is light blue, the depth of the water is the deep blue, and because of this stone field has been collected for many years Blue moon stone, the stone in this vicinity has already been illuminated, revealing the gray lake bottom below, so this piece of lake is gray and white, from the sky, it is like this beautiful blue moon has been gnawed by someone, very bad scenery!

"Don't be sluggish, get into the water!"

There were overseers waving whips on the side to urge, many people had already taken off their clothes, and slowly walked into the shallow water with bamboo baskets on their waists, Gu Shiyi carried two bamboo baskets, but walked to the side.

When the overseer saw this, he exclaimed,

"That kid...... Where are you going? ”

Gu Shiyi turned around and said,

"The stones here are almost quarried, and the villain goes to the deep water over there!"

The reason why this place will become a stone touching field is because this is a shallow beach with gentle terrain, and the people who touch the stone can go all the way from shallow to deep, and leave here only a hundred and ten zhang, the lake there is a deep blue, and then it is already a pitch black, there are many blue moon stones here, but there are very few people who dare to touch the stones here.

There are not only stones in this Blue Moon Lake, but also a lot of fierce fish living in it, and there are undercurrents and whirlpools at the bottom of the lake.

However, every year, there are a few people who are consciously outstanding in diving skills and dare to go to deep water to touch rocks, and there are few who can come out!

Seeing Gu Shiyi going to the deep water, the overseer couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and sneered,

"Hehe, another one who is not afraid of death!"

Gu Shiyi avoided the crowd far away, hid behind a big rock, and took off his wide and tattered coat, revealing the short undershirt inside, and the fullness on his chest could not be covered immediately.

"Eleven, you...... Do you really want to go into deep water? ”

Li Yan'er was a little worried, and Gu Shiyi said while tying her belt,

"Don't worry, when I was a child, I heard the elders of the family mention, the undercurrent and whirlpool of the lake are regular, in the early years our infant ancestor had specially explored the topography of the lake, and also drew a map to mark, I heard the elders say a mouth, that there is an undercurrent here is a spring at the bottom of the lake, rushing to the lake from the ground, after reaching the surface of the lake, hit the rocks on the shore, and then turn down, if someone happens to be under this undercurrent, it will be pressed straight to the bottom of the lake by the huge water pressure, if you don't know how to leave the range of the undercurrent, will be suffocated to death at the bottom of the water because they can't float......"

After that, he went to the water's edge and moved his hands and feet, and said,

"I remember that on the shore here, the undercurrent came from the east, and when it came to the shallows here, it would turn back, and then it would be swept into the depths of the bottom of the lake, and then it would rise upwards......"

In short, there is a spring at the bottom of the lake, and the column of water rushing up is like a flower, and the undercurrent spreads out like petals, and then rolls down......

People who don't know the inside story go into the water, are swept into the bottom of the lake by the undercurrent, panic in their hearts, nine out of ten are at a loss, they don't know how to find the law of the water flow, but if they really know the direction of the water flow and swim in the direction of the water flow, they can actually return to the lake safely.

Of course, because they have to stay at the bottom of the lake for a long time, the time they hold their breath has exceeded the limit of ordinary mortals, so mortals have never really figured out the direction of the undercurrent at the bottom of this lake, and cultivators don't need to go into the water to touch the stones in person, so the secret of Blue Moon Lake is only known to a limited number of people in the Gu family, and they have never been told to outsiders.

Gu Shiyi had enough activity, and after carefully inspecting the rope around his neck and the waterproof oilcloth bag, he inserted the newly obtained demon-slaying pestle into his waist.

"Yan'er, I'm in the water, be careful yourself, don't get out and be washed away by the water!"

This Blue Moon Lake is so big, Yan'er is about to be washed away, she really can't find it back!

"Well, don't worry!"

Li Yan'er replied in the bag, and Gu Shiyi was relieved to get into the water.

At this time, the lake is already very cold, and ordinary people will freeze and stiffen after just a moment in the water, but for Gu Shiyi, this is not a problem at all, after she entered the water, she first paddled on the water surface for a while, adapted to the water temperature, and then took a big breath, and then turned over and got headfirst into the water.

Because of the Blue Moon Stone, the bottom of the lake is faintly glowing, so ordinary mortals can see the situation at the bottom of the lake, Gu Shiyi went down with a fierce son, dived into the water five zhang deep, and then changed direction and swam forward, and it didn't take long for her to feel a wave of water pressure coming from the top of her head, and then her body seemed to be pressed by a big hand, and she quickly fell towards the bottom of the water......

It feels ...... It's like jumping a waterfall in the mountains ahead, under the huge water pressure, the mortal body is not vulnerable at all, but fortunately...... Gu Shiyi was not an ordinary person, after eating the spirit grass, the bloodline of her demon clan began to show its advantages.

Now she can hold her breath for longer and longer, and her body can swim freely under the strong water pressure, and she can even reach out to catch the big fish swimming by when she is free.

This kind of big fish living in the Blue Moon Lake can grow to the size of an adult, with a huge mouth, thick skin and meat, and infinite strength, so that they can swim freely in the countless undercurrent whirlpools at the bottom of the lake.

When this big fish, whose body was thicker than Gu Shiyi, twisted its body and slowly passed by Gu Shiyi, he also rolled his eyes curiously to look at her, Gu Shiyi smiled at it, spit out a string of bubbles in his mouth, and then reached over to grab its dorsal fin, the big fish was frightened, and fanned Gu Shiyi out two feet away with a flick of his tail, and then rolled his eyes at her and disappeared into a dark blue.

Gu Shiyi laughed silently, while spitting bubbles, he let his body fall to the bottom of the lake, the bottom of the lake here is not too deep, but it is only ten zhang, more than thirty meters, for ordinary mortals to dive here is already the limit, but if you want to fill two baskets of stones and swim back, it is really fatal!

But Gu Shiyi was not afraid, her body sank to the bottom of the lake, and she began to pick up stones, too big to put down, too small to use, picked a small one and put it in the basket around her waist.

There was no one to pick here at all, there were many stones like sand, Gu Shiyi picked them up casually, and filled two baskets, and then she did not reflexively return to the lake, but touched the stones to the bottom of the deeper lake, and when she entered the darkness that even the light of the blue moon stone could not penetrate, she felt it in the water where she couldn't see her fingers, and sure enough, she felt that there was an undercurrent surging upwards from the bottom of the lake in the distance, and Gu Shiyi paddled her limbs towards the undercurrent.

At such a depth, you can't see anything at all, and you can only use your senses to feel the flow of water at the bottom of the lake to confirm the direction and position.

Fortunately, the lake here is too deep and too cold, and the fish in the lake will not reach here, so Gu Shiyi is not worried about encountering man-eating fish, and when her body enters an upward current, her body is light, and then the person floats up, by this time, the breath in Gu Shiyi's chest is almost over, and she begins to feel suffocated!

So Gu Shiyi began to paddle her hands and feet to float upward, and when she rushed out of the lake by the current, she found that she was already far from the shallows.

No one paid attention to this, Gu Shiyi swam back to the shore, hid the stone in the big stone crevice on the shore, and then went back and forth three times, then returned to the shore, took off the clothes on her body and wrung them out and put them on, there was no fire here, she could only rely on the heat of her body to dry her underwear, fortunately she was strong, otherwise she would be able to get a cold wind and cold, and when her underwear was half dry, she put on a wide coat, and then she pretended to be out of breath and carried two baskets of blue moon stones over to the errand.

The overseer was astonished when he saw her returning.

"Boy, do you have some skills...... You can actually get out of the deep water......"
