Chapter 36: Diving Poyang Lake
"Let's swing the oars and the boat push the waves......"
In the cold autumn wind, Yang Xi was sitting on a tattered boat with two leopards, rowing with a long pole in his hand, slowly pushing himself to the center of Poyang Lake, while singing.
The boat under the ass squeaked and swayed, as if it was about to disintegrate in the next second to get rid of Yang Xi's singing voice, which was similar to the howl of a ghost crying wolf.
"Alas, sure enough, the scrap ship I picked up will not be able to be repaired no matter how hard I repair it...... I don't know if you can take me back when you're done?" stretched out his foot and stepped on the leaky part of the hull, Yang Xi muttered, and then continued to howl in his throat.
Fortunately, there was no one alive in this place except him, only some migratory birds flying from the north were nesting, so he only startled a few gulls and herons when he went down with his voice.
But there is no way, there is a lot of water in the middle of the lake, which is convenient for him to better explore the situation, even if those birds don't like the song of Old Ghost Yang, they can only endure it!
"I'll go to the island later, but remember my words - don't run around, and don't catch birds for me!" Holding the pole and driving the boat to the edge of the island in the middle of the lake, Yang Lao Ghost couldn't help but chant to the two big cats, "There are a lot of protected birds in Poyang Lake, you have to be careful, don't make trouble for me!"
"Although you two are worth more than them, I don't know where to go, but this is the territory of the birds, and it is not for you to fool around...... If someone shoots me, I can't hide you two. β
Pushing the two leopards to the island, Yang Xi grabbed their ears and kept saying: "Yuan Gai'er, I still don't worry, especially you Gou Fulai, don't put on a look of your right ear in and out of your right ear, and then I'll let Yuan Gai'er do it for you tonight!"
Gou Yuangai's eyes lit up, and he rubbed the back of Yang Xi's hand, just hoping that he could do what he said, and stop interrupting when he was about to pounce on Gou Fulai.
Gou Fulai shook his body, and he didn't dare to take Old Ghost Yang's words as wind anymore.
It's still a child, and it can't stand the ravages of Gou Yuangai, who has been single for many years!
"This is ......" touched the slippery fur of the big cat again, Yang Xi arranged the two of them clearly, so he walked to the reeds and took off his clothes and pants with confidence, leaving only a base dress, so that he would not be frank, and then stepped into the water.
"Hey, this water is so cold...... "Buried his whole body in the water with difficulty, Yang Lao Ghost trembled, "You can't use spiritual power yet...... Don't come out, I'm born with a cold, right?"
A few days ago, he went to Poyang Lake for a walk, and later found that there was indeed something strange in this place, so he turned back and made some preparations.
First, I made a few pills that can help people keep breathing underwater for a short time, and then I went to search for a lot of Poyang Lake this year.
Especially when Yang Xi learned that in the autumn and winter of previous years, both the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake should have entered the dry period, but this year, the water level of the lake is not falling but increasing, and he is even more curious about what is strange under the water.
"Could it be the legacy of that dragon back then?" Recalling the situation about Poyang Lake in his previous life, Yang Xi had a lot of inferences in his heart.
Thousands of years ago, there was a big Jiao living in Poyang Lake, although it was almost a Taoist from the dragon, but it could be regarded as a snake in the surrounding area, and the general monks did not dare to provoke it, and even ordinary people in order to please it, specially built a temple for it, and worshiped it every year, and now the temple is still a tourist attraction on the edge of the lake!
Although it has been more than a thousand years now, and he has suffered a catastrophe, Yang Xi does not dare to guarantee whether the Jiaolong has used means to leave something for himself.
After all, there is a glimmer of life in everything, and Old Ghost Yang can hold on to it until now, let alone other guys.
Therefore, in order to ensure that he was not trapped, Yang Xi made up his mind to be vigilant at all times, and even spiritual power could be saved.
Swallowing the balls in his mouth, Yang Xi held his breath and slowly swam into the lake.
Thanks to the environment of Poyang Lake, the lake water is not too turbid, and there are no strange smells and garbage, so Yang Lao Ghost was quite relaxed when he swam to the bottom of the lake, and there were no accidents.
It's just that the water of Poyang Lake is shallow, and the place he chose is only about 20 meters long, and there is nothing good to do except for the fish that are jumping around.
"Gotta look somewhere else. Spit out two mouthfuls of bubbles in his mouth, Yang Xi shaved the water, carefully releasing a little spiritual power, trying to find the strangeness of the lake.
There was no wind or waves on the surface of the water, and there was no movement underwater, so Yang Xi looked more carefully, condensed the released spiritual power into an invisible rope, and stretched it out in all directions of Poyang Lake, until he felt that something was wrong.
"Where is the spiritual power fluctuating so chaotic?" Yang Xi took back his spiritual power as soon as he sensed it, and marveled at what he had just discovered.
Just a few hundred meters in front of him, it was constantly exuding messy spiritual power, and once it reached the water, it would be difficult to detect, so even if it was an experienced treasure hunter like Old Ghost Yang, he wouldn't notice it for a while.
"It should be the direction of the old man's temple, right? The last time I came to explore the way, it seems to be there......
Could it be that the core problem lies in that place? Wouldn't it be in vain for him to go to the middle of the lake this time?
Sure enough, sometimes it's not good to think too much.
Using his spiritual power to make his swimming speed faster, Yang Xi swam there according to the induction he had received before.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the viscosity and confusion of the spiritual power in the direction of the old man's temple - it was like a ball of weeds under the water, only some frizzy stubble sticking out.
"It's ...... After taking a few minutes to reach the destination, Yang Xi swam around the place he felt strange, his eyes firmly fixed on a certain brick covered by aquatic plants, the lines exposed on the bricks were extremely familiar, and the corners of the eyes of the old ghost Yang twitched.
"Let's check first. β
Carefully cleaned up the surrounding lake mud and aquatic plants, and a "manhole cover" made of bricks and stones with a diameter of five meters appeared in front of Yang Xi.
"It's really a magic circle. It's a pity that it's in disrepair and it's useless. Reaching out and touching the lines on the manhole cover, he tapped it a few more times, "It's empty ...... underneath."
"It's strange, the dragon in Poyang Lake didn't understand these things......"
"Pry it open and see!"
Yang Lao was a master of ghost art, and he immediately decided to do it.
With a thud, he pulled out the wooden sword behind his back, inserted the blade into the crack between the bricks, and slammed it againβ
"Click!"
A crisp cracking sound sounded at the bottom of the lake, and the green bricks were hardly pried in half by the wooden sword, and the swarthy hole below could be seen through the cracks.
The lake hurrahed and drilled into the hole, instantly forming several miniature underwater whirlpools around it.
"Sure enough, the secret is underneath. β
Feeling the turbid aura coming from the deep hole, Old Ghost Yang smiled slightly, "I want to see what treasures are hidden in this place!"
He backhanded the spiritual power that had been condensed for defense and dissipated it, and snorted pretending to be forced.
He was still guarding against what was going on here, and he did all the tricks for the fish!
