In the narrow cave, Elder Xue, the pioneer, led Purple Scorpion to the front, followed by Ji Que and the others.

Ji Que, who originally thought he would be the vanguard, is now at the back.

This cave can only accommodate one person most of the time, so the scenery Ji Que sees is always monotonous, that is Ning Hongyu's round butt.

At the beginning, the cave was relatively dry, but it became more and more humid later on. Not to mention the moss on the cave walls, there was also mist pouring in.

When the water mist fills the air, everything becomes blurred, and there is an unreal feeling.

And at this time, Ning Hongyu's big butt reminds Ji Que that this world is very real.

A group of people walked silently, always feeling that they had walked a long distance, until there was a splash, and suddenly there was a sound of water in front of them.

The space filled with water mist opened up a lot.

The four of them stood on the water's edge, and saw that this was a waterway with jagged rocks and green water surface, which always gave people the feeling of hiding a huge monster.

To be honest, none of them wanted to go into the water, especially after seeing that weird carp skin.

Although Yun Xuezong has an inner lake, most of them practice on land, and many of them can even be regarded as landlubbers.

This is the case with Elder Xue and Old Man Luo, who seldom go into the water.

Ji Que's swimming skills are not bad, but Ning Hongyu's name has the word "fish", so his swimming skills should probably not be bad.

"Hey hey hey, what's wrong with Xiao Zi?"

Ji Que suddenly squatted down and said.

Everyone looked down, and saw that Xiao Zi, who was being pulled by a thin thread, had floated up from the water, her belly turned outside.

Obviously, artificial respiration was too late.

As a result, the guide "Xiao Zi" passed away successfully and became the first comrade-in-arms among them to die.

Elder Xue rolled up his hair and said, "I'll go explore the way first."

Saying that, she jumped down.

Ji Que observed it, um, Elder Xue seems to be using a dog planer.

Her body quickly submerged in the dark green water, and after a while, Elder Xue surfaced, holding half a head of green algae on his head and said: "There is only one road below."

After that, the four of them entered the water.

The water is quite deep, but as Elder Xue said, there is only one road, and they even need to swim sideways in narrow places.

In the dark waters, the stones sunk in the water looked like figures standing or standing, with a sense of horror.

To be honest, in this kind of waters, people are always prone to horrible associations.

Gudongdong.

Suddenly there is an undercurrent surging in the calm waters, as if there is a giant flowing in it.

Immediately afterwards, the four of them came to a slightly open water area.

This should also be a water cave, but it is bigger. The walls of the cave are covered with moss, and there are constant undercurrents rushing down.

For a moment, Elder Xue didn't know whether to go upstream or go down.

She couldn't even tell how long she had been in the water.

Dark waters affect people's perception of time and space.

At this time, Ji Que swam to the front, made gestures, and motioned for himself to lead the way.

He felt this place was familiar just now, until he felt the rhythmic surge of the undercurrent, he suddenly understood where it was.

This is the spring of the inner lake.

Ji Que, who had already been here once, immediately went downstream along the current as if he was going home.

His guess was probably right. In modern terms, the previous alchemy room was actually tended to be Chen Hanshi's laboratory, and Chen Hanshi's real residence, or the place where the biggest secret was hidden, should be the one he didn't have before. down the well.

Ji Que led the three of them to the corridor in the water very quickly. The big fish in the water and the talisman paper pasted on the doors and windows still caught their attention.

But Ji Que didn't stop, he went straight through the wall, and didn't stop until he was in front of the big fish carcass with human eyes.

Several people looked at the terrifying fish corpse in the water with complicated eyes, a little bit of fear in surprise.

Until then, Ji Que remembered a detail, that is, how long has the corpse of this big fish been here?

Logically speaking, not to mention this kind of half fish carcass, even a complete dead fish will rot if left for a long time.

But the carcass of this big fish with human eyes did not show many signs of decay.

Afterwards, Ji Que pointed to the building in the water, and took the lead in entering the vermilion door that was soaked in the water but looked very new.

Immediately afterwards, the group of them came out of the water.

This time, there was no faint call, only gusts of wind.

Finally, Ji Que came to the well that he didn't dare to go down before.

At that time, he felt the horror here, so he resolutely ran away and chose to shake people.

Now he has reached three people, and he is back here again.

Elder Xue just wanted to continue to take the lead, but was stopped by old man Luo.

"Sister Xue, let me do it."

Old man Luo is the most inconspicuous of the four, because even though he is also a concierge, Ji Que is at least young and handsome, but he is already a bad old man.

But he is the person with the highest realm here.

In his words, he had barely reached the five realms of life.

"It's the same Danshi, the same five realms, you're still on the side of justice, and you have three powerful helpers like us, how could you lose?"

This is what Ji Que said when he was discussing with old man Luo and Ning Hongyu who was suitable to be a pioneer. At that time, old man Luo looked like a dumb man eating coptis.

Ji Que thought he was timid, bah, because his style of acting was more prudent, but he never thought that at this critical moment, he would take the initiative to stand up.

"It's really worthy of being a senior, and it's a model for our family." Ji Que couldn't help but praise.

Old man Luo said angrily: "Say it again, talk about it later."

Ji Que didn't mean to be afraid, and said: "Actually, it's not impossible for me to come, if you can do it, senior."

Before he finished speaking, old man Luo jumped down first.

Ji Que is really not afraid of playing the vanguard, because he knows that with his luck, even if he goes last, there is a high probability that he will bear the brunt.

He is the terminator of bad luck, and likewise, the seducer of bad luck.

To sum it up in Ji Que's words, when he is unlucky, he is like an MT with a mocking face, and any bad things can't resist the temptation to attack him.

The well was less than 20 feet long and soon bottomed out.

There is no water at the bottom of the well, only a horizontal corridor.

The corridor was very short, and it ended in dozens of steps. After that, the four of them saw a rather shocking scene.

It was an open space, with a few ever-burning lamps hanging on the high ceiling, exuding a cold brilliance, the ground was covered with bluestone slabs, and lotus flowers grew in the gaps between the bluestone slabs.

The water mist is permeating here, and it can be seen that the most central position is a pavilion built of white jade, and near the pavilion is a faint blue ice layer glowing with cold light.

At a glance, you will have the illusion that you have entered a fairyland by mistake.

Seeing this scene, the four of them had almost the same feeling, that is, Chen Hanshi really regarded himself as an immortal, so he built such a "fairy-like" cave for himself in this dark space at the bottom of the lake.

If the environment here is not too dark, if these lotus flowers are not growing so well and have a sickly bright red color, this place can really be called "immortal cave".

It's a pity that because of these, not only is there no fairy spirit here, but it gives people a ghostly feeling.

Walking through this fairy cave, there is a long and narrow corridor leading directly to the depths.

The corridor is very deep, and there is a wind blowing. The gusts of wind that I felt before should come from here.

Faintly, there seemed to be someone speaking softly in the wind, but it was inaudible.

Here, maybe Chen Hanshi's secret is not far away.

They even felt that as long as they walked through this corridor, they might see Chen Hanshi, whom they "heartily miss".

Old man Luo exhaled lightly, and walked over, followed by Ji Que and the other three.

The corridor is quite high, at least the lamp that Elder Xue is carrying can't reach the top, the walls on both sides are seeped with water, and there are square gaps appearing on the stone walls at regular intervals.

There is a wooden sign in the gap.

The wooden plaques are dull, only the size of a palm, and look like pieces of plaques used by dead people.

At the beginning, there was nothing on these tablets, some were damaged and decayed, and the mottled surfaces looked like old faces. After reaching the back, Ji Que confirmed that these were the tablets.

Tablets for the dead.

"The seat of Gu Xin, the sixth generation patriarch of Yun Xuezong."

"The seat of Gu Xin, the sixth generation patriarch of Yun Xuezong."

"The seat of Gu Xin, the sixth generation patriarch of Yun Xuezong."

What the hell does this mean?

Why are they all lonely?

What does he need so many cards for alone? Playing mahjong?

Looking at the blood-colored characters on the tablets, Ji Que couldn't help but ask, "Who is Gu Xin?"

Elder Xue's complexion was frosty, and he said: "The suzerain of the previous generation, Chen Hanshi was his direct disciple, and he passed on the position of suzerain to Chen Hanshi."

Old man Luo frowned and said, "Then Chen Hanshi is quite filial, and I have given him so many tablets."

But at this time, at the end of the corridor, the fonts on the last few tablets changed.

"The seat of Chen Hanshi, the suzerain of the seventh generation of Yunxuezong."

"The seat of Chen Hanshi, the suzerain of the seventh generation of Yunxuezong."

"The seat of Chen Hanshi, the suzerain of the seventh generation of Yunxuezong."

Chen Hanshi was clearly still alive, but he set up a memorial tablet for himself?

No matter how you think about this matter, it's so weird that Ji Que's hairs stand on end.

What is even more puzzling is that the words "Chen Hanshi" on these tablets are blurred and covered with scratches, as if someone had scratched them with their fingernails.

If it weren't for the reminder from the previous seven generations of patriarchs, and the fact that they came to find Chen Hanshi, the name would be hard to recognize.

Finally, this eerie corridor came to an end.

They didn't see Chen Hanshi, but only saw a square room embedded in the stone wall ahead.

From the outside, the house is very rough, there is not even a door, only a window on the right side.

Carved wooden windows.

Ji Que leaned towards the window with the glowing Qianji Sword in his hand.

There was no way, he was the last one, but because the Qianji Sword had the strongest brilliance and the most convenient lighting, he walked to the front as he walked.

As he approached the wooden window, he stopped suddenly because he heard a sound.

It was as if the sound of deep water being stirred by a big fish came from the window, and it sounded extraordinarily deep in this dark space.

Maybe, the biggest secret about Chen Hanshi is inside?

Thinking of all the previous events, he couldn't help guessing, could the other party be the owner of a fish pond?

The sound like a big fish swimming was fleeting, and Ji Que looked serious.

He stood in front of the wooden window, put his hand on the window, and when he sucked, the wooden window was sucked open a crack.

It was very dark inside, and the brilliance of the Thousand Chance Sword penetrated through the gap, only a vague outline was reflected.

The inside is not a fish pond, but a room with large dark tanks, like those in a dyeing room.

At random, Ji Que completely pushed the window open, and sneaked in silently, like a ghost.

The other three followed closely behind, and Ning Hongyu who came in last closed the window skillfully without making any sound.

Ji Que raised the Qianji Sword in his hand, and a row of large tanks about half a person's height lined up together, which looked very strange in this dark and silent environment.

With a clear snap, Ji Que lowered his head and found that he was stepping on a puddle of water.

The stagnant water flows out from the water tank in front.

The room is airtight, but there is a faint wind blowing through it, and some decayed wooden shelves are placed nearby, like ghosts.

Ji Que adjusted his breath and approached the water tank.

The brilliance of the Thousand Machine Sword reflected the general appearance of the tank.

There is nothing unusual about the whole big vat, except that the edge of the vat is smeared with cinnabar, which seems to indicate that there is something terrible inside.

The wooden lid of the cylinder mouth is also plain.

But he easily thought of the graves with carp skins hanging at the bottom of the lake.

He dug up one of them and saw a similar jar.

Ji Que stood there, suddenly a little nervous.

Elder Xue and the others were equally nervous.

They have been quietly observing the surroundings, as if they were afraid that something would suddenly come out.

With a creak, the wooden cover was pried open by Ning Hongyu's knife tip, and moved aside.

Around the vat, four people held Senhan's weapons and stared at the inside of the vat.

Especially Ji Que, who clearly holds a ruler-like epee, but gives people the feeling of holding a big hammer, full of oppression.

The water in the tank was dark, as black as ink, and the brilliance of the Thousand Chance Sword was projected on it, glowing blue.

There was a grunt, and at this moment, the surface of the water shook, and the four of them breathed hard at almost the same time.

A human face floated on the water.

None of the four moved, but their breathing was a bit difficult.

Because this face is really scary, it is covered with ashen fish scales, and there are ringworm-like attachments on the fish scales.

In particular, its demeanor and movements when breathing are almost the same as those of fish that surfaced.

It was very similar to what he saw in the tomb at the bottom of the lake, but different.

Because of the things in the tomb at the bottom of the lake, he couldn't tell whether they were people or fish, but this one was more inclined to people.

Or, more like someone with a weird skin disease.

This terrifying face should not be able to see anything, because there is a gray film on the surface of its eyes, but it clearly sensed the presence of Ji Que and the others, and swam in the water.

Ji Que and the others didn't make a move, because he hasn't found out that the opponent has any intention to attack.

At this moment, there was a burst of small voices, as if someone was whispering maliciously not far away.

Immediately, the voice resumed, and became a little hurried, as if someone was calling for help in a hurry.

"help me!"

"Help me!"

"They're all ghosts!"

As soon as these words came out, the four couldn't help looking at each other, always feeling that each other's faces were a little gloomy and scary under the dark light.

This is the sound mixed in the wind before!

Ji Que couldn't help thinking of what Bai Lu said.

Could it be that the cry for help that Bai Lu heard in the ancestral land was this kind of voice?

Moments later, that terrifying face disappeared into the water with a grunt.

Then, that very weird voice also disappeared.

The surrounding area is quiet, and the room lined with large vats can clearly see the bottom at a glance, but it gives people a sense of the depth of being in the boundless deep sea.

Ji Que clearly saw that Elder Xue couldn't help touching his neck.

He knew that the other party mistakenly thought that he had turned into a fish, and gills grew there.

The voice was indeed bewitching.

At this moment, that face suddenly appeared again.

"He's coming."

At this time, such a voice sounded in the dark room, like some kind of alarm.

Ji Que reacted quickly, without any hesitation, and extinguished the Thousand Chance Sword in his hand.

At almost the same time, the four of them also found a tank to cover their figures.

At this time, a little footsteps came from outside.
