"Wait a minute!" Miss Fang suddenly thought of the most critical question: "Commander Yinshi, I see that you are all dressed normally, you should not be wearing water clothes and water leaning, you go back to Yingfeng Village with me first, and it is not too late to change the water utensils, and I suddenly thought of a person, there is a little girl in my village who cooks on the fire, called Xiangning, she told me after the person left, she once saw the five-flavor lotus, and her water nature is also very good, when the time comes, you bring her with you, so it is much better than you stumbling into it by mistake." ”

Yin Xuesong thought about it, even if he was in a hurry, he had to find out the situation first, so as not to waste too much time. On the way back to Yingfeng Village, Liu Jiuri asked: "My disciples are still obedient in Duwei Mansion? Usually they are used to being casual, and they are not used to being big or small, in case there is something that collides with the boss, you have to take care of it a little more." ”

"You can rest assured that they are all very good. And we now have more and more soldiers and horses, in addition to the ones allocated by the imperial court, the rest are collected from the prefectures and county governments, so many people are placed in Hecheng I am afraid that there is not enough place, so after a while, I will let them be stationed in the rest of the city, and the disciples of your sect will return here with their troops. Yin Xuesong replied.

"That's good, I've always been worried that they don't understand, and I'm relieved to hear you say that. ”

When Yin Xuesong and Liu Jiuri were talking, Fang Chou was listening beside him, glared at Liu Jiuri, and complained: "You sent the disciples of the sect to the Duwei Mansion on an errand? Why haven't you heard of it? With such a good thing, why didn't you think about us? I'm still worried that no one will introduce you, if you had helped me introduce me earlier, we wouldn't have to wait so long." ”

Master Liu said helplessly: "You haven't asked, and I haven't had a chance to tell you, every time I see you, I don't have a peaceful time, why do I think so much." But this is okay, let's meet and laugh at each other, and it wasn't a big deal. ”

"It's beautiful, if you don't agree to me, I'll be with you, until you agree. ”

"The key is that the two of us are not suitable, you are in your prime, like a flower like jade, beautiful as a flower, a big girl with a bright water, I am about to become a coffin, can this be suitable? Auntie, you just raise your noble hand and let me go." ”

"What I value is your character, I don't care if you are old or not. Besides, I don't dislike you for your age, but you find fault with me, am I wrong?"

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Yin Xuesong wanted to laugh but couldn't, and one by one they were red-faced, and in the end, Yin Xuesong relieved the siege for the head of Liu: "Miss Fang, do you think this will work, let's handle the matter of the five-flavor lotus first, and then I will coordinate with the two of you." He leaned into Fang Chou's ear and whispered, "I tried my best to convince this old antique to let him agree to marry you." He straightened his body and smiled: "What do you think?"

The two nodded in agreement, and no longer arguing about the matter. After the group entered Yingfeng Village, Fang Chou called the girl named Xiang Ning: "Xiang Ning, you are talking to the conductor Master Shi, what is this five-flavor lotus flower, and where does it grow in Bibo Pond?"

Xiang Ning replied: "I don't know where the five-flavored lotus grows, I used it before I met my father." I had a plague at that time, and I couldn't cure it, and I saw that it was going to die, so my father used the five-flavor lotus flower as a medicine for me to eat, and after eating it, it took effect on the same day, and I was all right. I asked him what kind of elixir it was, and he told me that this five-flavored lotus flower was left by my great-grandfather, and it can cure all kinds of poisons in the world. Because it was a personal experience, I remember it more clearly. ”

Yin Xuesong asked again, "Then do you remember what this five-flavored lotus flower looks like?"

Xiang Ning recalled: "Its petals are green and white, the lotus pod is golden, but it looks good, and the lotus root is indeed jet black, and it tastes no different from the usual lotus." ”

Fang Chou said to Xiang Ning: "If you recognize this thing, then you can go with them, the woman's heart is incomparable to them, you can find the five-flavored lotus flower quickly." ”

"Command!"

Yin Xuesong stood up and said to everyone: "It's much easier to find out what the five-flavored lotus looks like, brothers, go down and prepare, bring all the things that should be used, and let's set off immediately when we are ready." ”

On the edge of Bibo Pond, Shi Cheng tested the water temperature with his hands and said to everyone: "The water in the pool is not cold, but it can just relieve the heat. ”

Yin Xuesong clenched his fists and said: "Brothers, the water is not as good as the land, everything must be extremely cautious, if there is any difficulty, come back immediately, we are thinking in the long run." Especially Miss Xiangning, you have to take special care of her, and you must not let her be hurt. ”

A few people took off their coats as soon as they agreed, revealing the water clothes they had put on in advance. This water coat is made of fish skin, and only the people in the world who stand in Chicheng will use fish skin to make this kind of thing, as long as they wear this kind of clothing made of fish skin to swim in the water, it is like a live fish. The water suit clings to the skin, and the surface is extremely smooth, so there is no resistance at all in the water. Yin Xuesong asked Xiangning to tell a few people what this five-flavor lotus flower looked like, and after everyone remembered it, they jumped into the water one after another.

Miss Fang said before that after those people arrived here, they had a vision, so everyone was in the water with their weapons hanging, and the people on the shore were also standing on the side with their blades and watching into the water.

After several people entered the water, they sank dozens of meters and opened their eyes. I can only see that the water is sparkling, due to the sunlight, the water is glowing with a faint golden light, it is really like the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, beautiful. A few people made a gesture and scattered, each looking for the five-flavored lotus.

Under this blue pool, there are strange rocks, aquatic plants are thick, and fish are dense, and several people shuttle among them, turning the underwater stones. After a circle, they all surfaced. Yin Xuesong saw that everyone was on the shore and hurriedly asked, "How is it, what is the underwater situation?"

Shi Cheng replied in a rough manner: "This Bibo Lake is too big, and we have only been looking for a small half of it for so long, so let us take a breath and continue to look for it." ”

Zuo Tianming gave them the rice wine he had prepared before, let them drink a little to warm up, and after resting for a while, Shi Cheng stood up and said, "Brothers, it's almost time to rest, let's go and find the rest of the place, this time we must find the five-flavor lotus." ”

This time, they were divided into three groups in pairs, not very far from each other, and dived towards the center of Bibo Pond. Looking for it, Shi Cheng pulled Li Zhe with his hand and pointed to the front of himself, Li Zhe looked in the direction of his finger, and found a green and white six-petal lotus floating in the water next to a hole made of strange stones, and there were some fish stirring around. Xiang Ning nodded to everyone, indicating that this was what he was looking for, Li Zhe and Shi Cheng high-fived in celebration, and the six people took out their blades and dug them up at the bottom of the lotus.

Gradually, a black lotus root more than a foot long appeared in front of everyone's eyes, just as Li Zhe reached out to pick it, a suction force was sent out from the entrance of the cave, and the six people felt that their bodies moved involuntarily towards the mouth of the cave, and everyone was shocked, there must be something strange in this hole, no one dared to act rashly, and no one dared to pick the lotus. The suction force at the entrance of the cave became stronger and stronger, and the six people had to swim in the opposite direction, leaving the range of the lotus, and the suction force disappeared. Li Zhe asked them not to move, and slowly swam to the entrance of the cave, only a few swims, and the attraction was restored, this time the strength was much stronger than just now, Li Zhe did not dare to be sloppy, stepped up the speed of swimming, and swam towards the shore. When the other five saw that he was about to go ashore, they swam with him.

When he arrived on the shore, without waiting for Yin Xuesong to ask, Li Zhe preemptively said: "The five-flavored lotus has been found." ”

Yin Xuesong said excitedly: "Where is the lotus now?"

"It's still in the water, and I haven't picked it up. ”

"What about Shi Cheng?"

Without waiting for Li Zhe to answer, Shi Cheng's five people went ashore one after another, Shi Cheng walked to Li Zhe's side and asked, "You came up in a hurry, did you find something?"

"I didn't see anything, I just felt that the suction was getting bigger, and I was afraid there would be something in the hole. The dagger in my hand didn't fit, and I wanted to come up and change to a guy of the right size, so I didn't say hello to you. ”

"It's okay, then let's take a rest, think about it well, and go get the five-flavor lotus, anyway, it can't run away there, so it's okay to wait a little longer." ”

Yin Xuesong listened to the conversation between the two of them, and felt that something was wrong, and immediately interjected and asked, "Listen to what you mean, is there something under this blue pool?"

Li Zhe replied: "Now no one can say for sure, and no one has seen what it is, there is a big hole on the side of the lotus, as long as you get close to the lotus, there will be a suction force in the hole, dragging people inside." ”

Yin Xuesong's expression was serious, and he frowned: "Could it be that the monstrous waves before are related to the suction in this cave?" Wait a minute, don't go into the water with a dagger, or use your usual weapons, just in case, don't force it, and come back immediately if you see that things are not good." We people on the shore don't know how to water, and we can't help you much, so we can only do it in a hurry. ”

Shi Cheng replied: "What did the adults say, Lord Xiao takes good care of us on weekdays, treating us like brothers, and now that he is in trouble, it is simply our honor that we can help." You don't have to worry, we will explore Bibo Lake later, and we will pick back the five-flavor lotus. ”

In the hole next to the five-flavored lotus, a golden eye stared at the direction where the six people swam to, stretched out his claws and covered the black lotus root that was originally exposed with mud.
