Chapter 121 The bottom of the lake
The mist floated against the ground, crossed the low handrails by the lake, and appeared on the dry shallows. The white lake sand seemed like fine flour, stirring by the fog to raise a faint smoke. However, the smoke was not obvious in the night, and it became silent again after a while.
The lake water has become very shallow, and it is nearly forty meters away from the lake shore from the current waterside. So Li Zhen showed his figure after walking thirty meters.
In the night, no one could notice him at such a distance. What's more, there were large groups of withered aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, and even exposed garbage. He was short and slowly moving forward under the cover of these things, while trying to find some unusual things.
He originally planned to find some monuments or something else. Although his reputation was not good in later generations, in the past, in the mythological era where she lived, it seemed that her reputation was not as bad as that.
You should know that according to the "Shan Hai Jing", she used to be a goddess. Huangdi was defeated by Chi You in the war, so he summoned her from heaven to help. However, because she consumed her divine power, she could not return to heaven, so she stayed in the human world and became a god on earth.
These are naturally legends. But legends always have some realistic basis. A species with such an identity will never die anywhere and be buried like an ordinary human.
It was like Chiyou had an underground palace in Shennongjia, and Huangdi had a mountain mausoleum near Ling County. Li Zhen felt that this person should also have a tomb worthy of her identity. He even imagined it more boldly - in fact, after this species fell asleep, humans knew about it.
And this Taizi Lake may be an artificial lake dug out to "suppress" her.
But since it was dug out manually, why not an ellipse or a perfect circle? But an l-shaped shape?
Li Zhen really thought about this issue while observing the thick sand of the lake. Then he laughed in silence.
I am now infatuated...
Trying to consider many things in a human way. Digging such a Taizi Lake... It was not something that manpower could do at that time.
In fact, it is not easy to do such a thing today, even if you have to spend some effort. And thousands of years ago, there were probably only a kind of species with this ability. Unfortunately, a kind of species...
He stopped and opened his mouth.
Types.
In front of me was the shallow lake water, which became turbid due to the sharp decrease in water volume. In the night, it did not look like water, but it was more like oil. Li Zhen half-squatted. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and then looked north. To the north was the connection between Taizi Lake and the Yangtze River, where there was a long waterway.
A thought flashed through his mind just now, and he felt that this thought seemed to make some sense.
What if this Taizi Lake was really dug out to suppress the Ba?
Of course humans can't do it, but they can do it in various ways.
Chiyou was suppressed by Huangdi at the beginning. It was undoubtedly suppression - copper nails were found in every tomb at that time. Taoism would use copper nails to suppress evil, and perhaps this tradition was passed down from that time.
Ba means drought and high temperatures, so there is no way to suppress her by using a lake.
Let’s not talk about why Huangdi suppressed her—
If it was Huangdi or other types of people in the same camp as him, they could naturally achieve this level.
So, why is it l-shaped?
Perhaps he was thinking too much about this.
If he had done this by himself, he would have made an ellipse or a perfect circle. However, time is changing and the world changes. Even the power of a species will appear fragile and powerless compared to nature.
So, maybe it was originally a circular lake. However, because the lake water is connected to the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River will always become violent and unruly for thousands of years, so a large amount of river water is poured in and constantly eroded the lake shore. This has led to the erosion of some relatively fragile places and becoming the current shape.
This is a mutually verified conjecture.
What he has to do now is to go to the entrance of the waterway of Taizi Lake and check it carefully nearby. If he can find clues, it really means that Ba was indeed suppressed "artificially".
Fifteen minutes later, Li Zhen had arrived at the northern end of this lake area.
The water surface here is lower than the southern end. The mud under the turbid water surface can be seen at the shallowest point. And when he lurked all the way, he was more confident in his thoughts. Because this l-shaped lake area is like a crooked gourd - the long end of l. That is, the place where he was before, there was a gentle ups and downs like a mountain between the short end of l-shaped.
It seems that these two ends were originally large water holes that were independent, but later connected to one place.
He looked at the watch on his wrist.
It was ten:46 in the evening. The night was still long, and he felt that he still had plenty of time.
Guo Baorong said that the lights in the residential area would light up at night, which probably means that the alien species guarding the lakeshore would leave here in batches at that time. After all, alien species were transformed from humans, and they would not eat without food. Perhaps in order to disguise themselves as normal people, they would turn on the lights for the whole night and then return here to fulfill their duties.
But now he was a little helpless.
The previous idea was a bit ridiculous - for example, trying to find a stone tablet at the bottom of the lake. The situation was as he imagined. Thousands of years have passed, and the silt accumulated at the bottom of the lake alone was probably more than ten meters thick, and perhaps the ones below were about to be crushed into stones. Even if there were any inscriptions at that time, they were buried deeper underground.
So……
The people who came here from Siberia would not know as little as themselves. Since they could discover this secret, they might know where the true body of Ba was. If there was an underground palace under the lake, then they should also know where the entrance to the underground palace was.
There is no reason for others to think of what you can think of - never think of your enemies too stupidly.
So he slowly sat down, sat on the dry mud at the bottom of the lake, and hid his body with the ball of yellow water grass behind him.
Where did they get the news?
There will definitely be no such thing as "a small scroll hidden behind the truth of history" in such a thing, which is left for future generations to take risks and explore treasures. So long has passed, the person involved must have been gone at that time.
But Huangdi would certainly know. However, even that person did not dare to awaken or merge it at the beginning - Li Zhen did not intend to do so.
Because... it's a pity, after all, it's a species. Even if it's kind to humans, it's regarded by later generations as their ancestors.
In fact, it should be considered his ancestor, but he always has some grudges in his heart. Waking it might provide strong support for itself like Yinglong, and there might be something else wrong. The most important thing is, if all this is settled, if the best result is really ushered in - all the bad guys are suppressed... what should it do?
So he guessed that the skeleton should still be in that mountain tomb now. No matter how enemies or friends are willing to disturb it.
Yinglong may know. However, it would not do that...it should not reveal this information. Perhaps it was just because some strange phenomena appeared here before and then they were noticed.
If those people followed these clues to find the exact location of the possible underground palace, then he should be able to find it. Guo Baorong, who had been with him for three days, has already explained the matters nearby in detail, and even who has clearly stated which restaurant is closed down and which restaurant's backstage is behind it.
But among these words, Li Zhenwei didn't hear anything big happened.
The "big event" he refers to is a major event that cannot be concealed by "thunderous sound", "demolition", and "reconstruction".
This means that either those people have not found the entrance to the underground palace, or that the entrance is quite secret but can be opened without much effort.
At this point, if you have not taken a detour from the beginning, you have to sort out all the details and then you can find a satisfactory answer. For example, those ambiguous, small details that have been taken in your consciousness.
For example, this entire Taizi Lake can overcome fire - every Chinese knows this. So it is reasonable to use a Taizi Lake to suppress Wu. However, this is actually quite unreasonable.
The five elements are somewhat mystical. Perhaps they belong to a certain knowledge category that has not been accurately understood by humans so far. But whether it is today's humans or the species in the past, it probably won't be like this kind of prince lake just because of this kind, right?
In fact, the power mastered by humans and species is pragmatism in a sense. Humans rely on technology, while species rely on superpowers and psychics. Things like mysticism are not dominant in any side.
What's more, in the era when Huangdi and Ba coexist, it is not certain whether there is a five element statement.
So...why did you create such a Prince Lake?
In fact, even if it was not deliberately excavated but was specially built underneath, you can ask this question - what is the purpose of such a lot of trouble?
Li Zhen looked at the shore, stood up and walked a few steps towards the water, and then reached into it.
The sun has been setting for two or three hours, but the residual heat in the water is still there, and the temperature is no less than the bathing water in the small hotel just now.
There was still a trickle of water pouring in from the north, and he could keenly feel the water flowing. However, this was not the conclusion he wanted. So he frowned and walked into the water.
