"You're awake, you're not healed, don't move around, go back and lie down. An old woman's voice came from front of him, and then he felt someone come and help him.

When his eyes adjusted to the sunlight, he saw the familiar figure, the woman who had rescued him in the first place. And the words came from an elderly woman, who was now looking at her with a concerned face.

He Yinuo didn't seem to listen to it, but wanted to leave directly with a cane, but found that his arm was tightly grasped by the woman, and he felt bored for a while, because he had never communicated with anyone in the past ten years, so he had gradually lost patience with others.

But he saw the woman's other hand gesturing at something, and she pointed to her body, and then to a stream not far away, and combed her hair.

He Yinuo knew what she meant, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally did not refuse, and followed her to the stream.

Three hours later, under the woman's careful combing, He Yinuo's appearance regained its brilliance, and then the woman found some men's clothes for him to wear. When everything was cleaned up, the woman smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

He Yinuo looked at himself at the water, but found that this face had become a little unfamiliar, as if he had been living as another person for many years, he didn't even know how he had spent all these years, maybe God blessed the poor man and let him pick up a life in the chaos.

At this time, the woman next to him gently patted him on the shoulder, and then gestured with a simple gesture, as if to say that he was good-looking.

A smile gradually appeared on He Yinuo's face, as if he hadn't smiled for a long time. Then he buried his head in the stream again, and the stream murmured, caressing his face, and a burst of coolness came to the bottom of his heart, which made people feel refreshed, and after so many years of sinking, it seemed that it was not until this moment that he regained his strength.

"Bai Qin, your mother has made lunch, you bring him over for lunch together. A man's thick voice came from the village not far away, He Yinuo turned his head to look, he was dressed plainly, his demeanor was calm, and he thought that it was the woman's father, and the woman's name was Bai Qin.

Then he returned to the house with Bai Qin's support. The house is not big, it is also very simple, but the dishes on the table are very rich, and the two of them are very happy to see He Yinuo wake up, and they don't seem to reject him as a disabled person at all.

They live in an ordinary cottage called Lake Village, named after the lake not far away. There are a total of 100 families in the village, and they were criticized by their neighbors when they first took in He Yinuo, who was scarred and short-legged, and then they slowly accepted him.

Bai Qin's mother usually takes care of the housework at home, and her father Bai Hua is a first-class fisherman, and he also has a unique skill is to weave straw figures, which come out of his hands as if they have spirituality, lifelike, and more like an indescribable power hidden in them.

"You must be hungry after being in a coma for so many days, eat something quickly, this is what Bai Qin's mother specially made for you. Bai Hua looked at He Yinuo and said slowly, his skin was dark, and his hands were covered with calluses, thinking that it was caused by the perennial weaving of straw men, and there was a hint of a smile on his simple face, which made He Yinuo's heart feel warm.

He didn't say a word, he just took a big bite to eat, and the three of them were inexplicably surprised at first, and then they all showed a smile and watched him enjoy it to the fullest.

In the next few days, He Yinuo still didn't say a word, as if he was out of step with them, and he was used to seeing people's warmth and coldness. It's just that Bai Qin's family didn't care, but treated him as always.

One day, He Yinuo and Bai Qin's mother and daughter came to the lake not far from the cottage, and since he came to the lake, he felt a faint strange power.

Although he is no longer a cultivator, and his cultivation has been completely destroyed, his keen insight into some things still exists, especially the Qi of the Immortal Dao.

But the aura here is extremely unusual, in the aura of the immortals, but it is full of dense fog of ghosts and death, he doesn't know what is in this lake, but he guesses that this lake must have been formed later.

Bai Qin watched his expression, and then took him to Bai Mu, who told him everything about the lake.

Bai Mu told He Yinuo that this lake was called Zhaoxin Lake, which had existed a long time ago, and that when she was a girl, she had heard her grandfather's generation talk about the origin of this lake. It's just that no one has ever seen its origin, but there is a legend about this lake that has been handed down.

He Yinuo was curious, and sat next to Bai Mu with Bai Qin, listening to her quietly, but when Bai Mu mentioned this legend, there was a sigh on her face.

"You may not believe it, but the original location of this Zhaoxin Lake was actually a town, called the surrounding city, the city was rich and prosperous, and the population was extremely dense, but just when everyone was enjoying a comfortable life, a sudden flood flooded the entire town, and no one in the city was spared, and the originally bustling town became a dead city overnight. ”

Bai Mu said, a trace of regret appeared on her face, sighed, and pointed to the Zhaoxin Lake in front of her, "It is rumored that the surrounding cities are submerged in the bottom of this lake. ”

The confusion on He Yinuo and Bai Qin's faces was even stronger, but they didn't know why this good surrounding city suddenly encountered such a disaster, and what was going on with this sudden flood.

Bai Qin understood their confusion, looked at Zhaoxin Lake, and said deeply, "There is another legend about this flood. ”

"The surrounding city believes in a god, its name is the ethereal dragon, under its protection, the surrounding city is outstanding people, no disaster and no difficulty, a piece of abundance. However, I don't know when the residents of the surrounding cities provoked the three cloud dragons. One day, in response to the dragon's attack, the ethereal dragon appeared to deter it, which belonged to the mirage dragon lineage and had already entered the Mahayana realm. ”

It's just that the three Ying Dragons relied on their numerical superiority, not only did they not evacuate, but intensified. With his cloud dragon natal talent, he brought endless storms and rains to the surrounding cities, and the entire town was instantly covered in rain, and it was only a matter of time before it was flooded. ”

At this time, Bai Qin shook her mother's arm and gestured eagerly, as if to ask, is this ethereal dragon going to watch the town be submerged?

Bai Mu shook her head, stroked Bai Qin's cheek, and continued, "The Ethereal Dragon is the guardian spirit of the surrounding cities, how can it be ignored by them. It's just that it later found out that the three cloud dragons were just using this as a cover, and their real purpose was themselves, and they wanted to challenge themselves and seize their own dragon yuan. ”

"The Shenlong clan is divided into the Divine Dragon Clan from high to low according to the racial level, the green mirage, and the sky is cloudy. The Mirage Dragon is second only to the Green Dragon, and the Cloud Dragon is at the bottom of the Divine Dragon Clan, so they are willing to take great risks to challenge the Ethereal Dragon, in a vain attempt to obtain its Dragon Yuan and gain advancement. ”

"Jiao millennium dragon, dragon five hundred years for the horned dragon, thousand years for the dragon, and these three cloud dragons have entered the list of the dragons, they are the best among the cloud dragons, and their strength is by no means idle. And although the Ethereal Dragon is a king mirage, it is only at the level of a horned dragon, just like a cultivator who has just begun to practice breathing and inhaling breath and a martial arts master who has been practicing for a hundred years, it is naturally difficult to compete. ”

The three cloud dragons seemed to realize this, so they suddenly attacked one day, forcing the ethereal dragon into a desperate situation. However, the ethereal dragon is not idle, and with its natal power, it creates a powerful mirage, forcibly traps the three cloud dragons, and finally subdues them. ”

However, all this put the surrounding cities in a place of no return, and the cloud dragon also used his natal supernatural powers to create a violent storm, and the moment before they were subdued, they set off a shocking flood that instantly submerged the surrounding cities, and no one in the city was spared. The ethereal dragon with its wounded body, disheartened, sank to the bottom of the lake along with the surrounding cities. ”

Hearing this, Bai Qin's face showed a look of resentment, but after a while, it was replaced by a wave of doubt, she pointed to the lake and then to her heart, and gestured for a while.

Bai Mu seemed to understand what she meant, and said, "Qin'er, do you mean that this legend has anything to do with the name of Zhaoxin Lake?"

Bai Qin nodded, and similarly, He Yinuo also had this question.

And at this moment, a mist suddenly rose in the originally clear sky, and Bai Mu's brows furrowed slightly, as if she noticed a trace of abnormality, but the mist did not continue to expand and thicken, and there was only a faint layer, so she was relieved.

Then she pointed to a spot on the lake and said to the two, "Look, is there a faint path here?"

The two of them looked in the direction pointed by the White Mother, and the mist was hazy, and vaguely they really saw a path that was fading and disappearing from the shore not far from them to the center of the lake, disappearing into the distance.

And they noticed that the trail had not yet appeared, but for some reason it appeared out of thin air.

And just when they were puzzled, Bai Mu said, "This path does not exist on a sunny day, only appears in rainy and foggy weather, its name is Forget Immortal Road, and when it comes to the origin of Zhaoxin Lake, we must first start with this Forget Immortal Road." ”

The two of them listened quietly.

"The town was flooded due to the great battle between the Cloud Dragon and the Ethereal Dragon, and the original location of the surrounding city became a huge lake, which was later named Lake Surabaya. Over the years, new towns were formed around the lake, which grew until they reached the level of prosperity of the surrounding towns. ”

However, there was a strange phenomenon that plagued the residents of the town at that time, that is, every time the foggy weather, there was a mirage in the sky above Surabaya Lake, as if it was a reflection of the city, which was extremely magnificent. ”

Many people say that it is a reflection of the long-lost surrounding city, while others say that the so-called surrounding city has long since perished, and there is no possibility of reappearing in the world. The mirage that appeared was an image from another time and space, another unknown barrier, or even more, an underworld!"
