Xu Xin said nothing.

A strange silence returned to the tomb.

I don't know how long it took before he asked: "Is that Lu Zhen reliable?"

"Wen Long has a high opinion of him." Tang Miaoxing shook his head, "People outside the sect cannot be said to be reliable or unreliable. Now he has a request from the Tang Sect and just wants to make a deal with the Tang Sect..."

"I have never had any contact with the Tang Sect before. There is no grudge between us. I don't think he has any motive to harm me."

Xu Xin reminded: "It is essential to be on guard against others. I have never heard of helping others understand life and death. The risks are quite high. If he has evil intentions, then you may be in some trouble."

"This is the Tang Clan. Once something happens to me, he and the Tang Clan will be in a fight to the death. No matter how high his cultivation level is, he will still be in trouble. I don't believe that a smart person would do such a stupid thing." Tang Miao was not happy.

Care said, "Besides, my funeral arrangements have been completed. Even if something happens to me, the Tang Clan will not be affected."

Xu Xin sighed again: "You have too high expectations for me. Even if I accept your arrangement, I may not be able to meet your expectations."

"I have been locked up here to atone for my sins since I was nineteen years old. I am not qualified to practice other Tang Sect martial arts, so Danqi has become my only skill... Inheriting the unique skills of Tang Sect is also my way to atone for my sins."

"You should know that apart from Dan Qi, my strength is actually very weak. I am not even a match for the best of the Tang Sect's outer disciples."

"Alchemy bite is enough." Tang Miaoxing said, "Even if Senior Brother Yang Lie is resurrected, he can't compare to you in terms of pill bite... Your current pill bite cultivation level will be compared to the hundreds of years of Tang Sect's history.

Few people can compare."

"You don't need any other messy skills. With the pill bite, the one who can defeat you in the alien world is no more than a palm. You are enough to support the great cause of the Tang Sect's rejuvenation."

He patted his forehead: "Throughout my years as the head of the Tang Sect, I know that I have done a lot of wrong things, a lot of inappropriate behavior, and have done nothing, let alone promote the Tang Sect.

”

"A few years ago, I advised myself that no one can make mistakes without being a sage. If you can't be a pioneer, you can just be a follower. But now, some changes should have taken place in the Tang Sect..."

"That doesn't necessarily require me to do anything." Xu Xin said softly, "Junior Brother Zhang Wang has always been in charge of the outer sect of the Tang Sect. He has great prestige in the Tang Sect. The disciples of the Tang Sect are willing to obey his instructions, no matter what aspect.

Look, they are all better than me."

"Elixir bite has become my inner demon, and all the wrong things I have done are because of pill bite." Tang Miaoxing said solemnly, "Except for pill bite, how much better is Junior Brother Zhang Wang of the old Tang Sect who talks a lot better than me?

Moreover, he has such a violent temper that he is not suitable to be a door leader. I dare to say this directly even in front of him."

"Now the Tang Sect needs a change, a huge change, and Junior Brother Zhang Wang, who is a defender of the old era, cannot do it."

"Qiu Shan is neither impatient nor impatient, and he is more suitable than me who has not appeared in Tang Sect for decades." Xu Xin added, "I have been away from Tang Sect for too long, and my understanding of Tang Sect is not as good as Qiu Shan's."

Tang Miaoxing nodded: "Although Qiu Shan has a gentle temper and is smarter than you and me, he is just too fearful, has no sense of responsibility, and is not suitable for managing the Tang Sect."

"As for those outer disciples, I have observed that they may be excellent in a certain field, but they cannot connect the past and the future."

He pointed at Xu Xin: "You are the only one who, as a disciple of the Tang Sect, is the disciple of Quan Xing... Without any derogatory meaning, you are a truly eclectic genius. This is exactly what the Tang Sect needs now."

Xu Xin asked: "You have always said that Tang Sect needs to change, but until now I don't know which direction you want to take Tang Sect."

"The Tang Sect needs to change." Tang Miaoxing's voice was firm, "Whether it is to correct my wrong practices or out of concern for the future, the Tang Sect needs such a huge change."

"As for the direction, you should be able to see it soon. All you need to do now is protect me."

……

The lake is blue and rippling with microwaves.

Not far from the shore, Zhang Chulan emerged from the water, sprayed out a large amount of water mist, and wiped the water droplets from his face.

"Fourth brother, the water is too deep. It's difficult for me to dive to the bottom. Sister Bao'er doesn't have a designated place. The bottom of the water is too vast and I can't find anything at all."

Xu Si glanced at the rising sun in the east and frowned: "You went into the water several times last night, and you went into the water continuously this morning. You didn't even know what the bottom of the lake looked like..."

"I can roughly see the shape. The bottom of the lake is sinking along the shore to the middle. I have only explored to the current position. The depth is more than tens of meters. I can't go any further." Zhang Chulan said with a heavy breath.

, "I can try to use Qi to push away the water in the lake, but I can't increase the time I can hold my breath. Unless I get an oxygen bottle, this is the limit of how far I can dive."

"The point is that Sister Baoer only knows that something is attracting her, but she doesn't know what it is. She doesn't even know its size or shape. Even if we buy a complete diving device, we probably won't be able to find that thing."

Xu Si lit a cigarette: "The northwest side is urging us, and we are here..."

"Let me get into the water." Feng Baobao, who was resting with his eyes squinted, suddenly said.

Zhang Chulan and Xu Si looked at Feng Baobao together.

Xu Si worriedly said: "Baby, you..."

"Let me get into the water." Feng Baobao stood up unsteadily, "I know what I'm looking for."

Zhang Chulan swam back to the shore: "Sister Bao'er, if you know what it is, describe it in detail. I'll go into the water to find it for you. With you like this, it's better to stay on the water."

"No, it's right there..." Feng Baobao pointed to a certain direction in the middle of the lake and said in confusion, "But after Zhang Chulan entered the water, it... it seemed to be running."

"Running?" When Zhang Chulan, who was resting in the shallow water area, heard this, he glanced into the deep lake water and suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, "Sister Bao'er, you mean, this thing is alive? Is it possible that this thing is alive?

Is there really a water monster? Don't scare me... My phobia of deep water is not over yet..."

"I don't know either." Feng Baobao looked puzzled, "But I feel that it is running... No, it is approaching again now, right there..."

As he spoke, Feng Baobao moved his fingers towards the shore, moving about ten or twenty meters away from Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan suddenly felt horrified and panicked, and subconsciously ran the golden light spell.

After the blazing golden light enveloped him, he took a breath and looked at where Feng Baobao was pointing.

"Baby, are you sure something is approaching?" Xu Si held the cigarette in his mouth solemnly, ready to take action.

But the clear lake surface was still so calm, and not even a single swimming fish was seen, let alone the giant creature that Zhang Chulan and Xu Si imagined.

"It's approaching, but it doesn't seem to be malicious..." Feng Baobao said, "It seems to be coming to find me."

"Baby, the more you talk about it, the weirder it gets. It scares Chu Lan so much that he doesn't even dare to go into the water." Xu Si picked up a stone and threw it into the water that Feng Baobao mentioned.

The water splashed out, but nothing strange happened in the lake.

Zhang Chulan said: "Let Sister Baoer go into the water with me. If I find that something is wrong, I will pull Sister Baoer up. By the way, Sister Baoer, you will..."

With a "pop", Feng Baobao jumped into the lake, and the water splashed Zhang Chulan's face.

Zhang Chulan wiped the dripping water off her face and complained: "Sister Bao'er, you are frying fish..."

"It's about to run away..." Feng Baobao said while looking at the lake.

Water flowed down her face and clothes, and little drops of water hung on her hair and eyelashes. They emitted a strange brilliance in the morning sun, making Baobao Feng look a bit illusory and unlike a real person.<

/p>

Beautiful but fragile, this is the first feeling in Zhang Chulan's heart...

Seeing dumbfounded, Zhang Chulan didn't say another word, grabbed Feng Baobao's arm and swam in the direction Feng Baobao was looking at.

Before entering the water, Zhang Chulan explained: "Sister Bao'er, after entering the water, please hold your breath and don't inhale the water, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable. If the situation is not right, just signal upward or pinch me, and I will take care of you."

You surface."

"I know." Stimulated by the cold water, Feng Baobao regained some energy and stared at the water with burning eyes.

Xu Si on the shore said with concern: "Be careful in the water. Once you find something wrong, go ashore decisively. It doesn't matter if you don't find the thing. When the time is right, find dozens of skilled divers to go into the water and touch it slowly... Unfortunately, I don't

You know how to dive, otherwise I can go into the water with you."

Zhang Chulan made an OK gesture and took Feng Baobao into the water.

There are not many impurities in the lake water, and the view is not greatly obstructed even in the water.

The rising sun enters the lake from the water surface, forming strips of light like the light of a flashlight, which continue to sway with the lake surface in the blue water.

You can see all the rocks under the water.

The water where Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao dived was less than two meters deep. Looking ahead, the lake water changed from blue to frightening deep blue.

There was no edge in the water and no bottom, which made Zhang Chulan feel uneasy again.

There seemed to be a flash of light in the field of vision, and Feng Baobao suddenly swam quickly towards the deep water area.

Zhang Chulan subconsciously grabbed a handful forward, but failed to catch Feng Baobao.

In desperation, he opened his mouth to shout, but only a few bubbles came out, and instead he was filled with a mouthful of lake water.

Seeing that Feng Baobao had chased him out, Zhang Chulan quickly chased forward.

Feng Baobao glanced back and nodded in the water, as if to tell him not to worry.

Perhaps dozens of seconds passed, or perhaps a minute passed. Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan continued downward and entered the deep blue water area of ​​the lake.

Vision becomes blurry.

The light coming from above became even fainter, and the bottom has turned into pitch black, as if there is no bottom, and I don’t know where it leads.

Feng Baobao’s swimming speed accelerated again.

Zhang Chulan also accelerated.

The gradually increasing sense of hypoxia made Zhang Chulan know that she could not hold on for much longer.

Anxiety arose in his heart.

A golden light suddenly lit up under the pitch-black water.
