For Xu Yingke, she had no doubt that he was there, and the fear she felt just now was just caused by the memory of her previous life that disturbed her heart.
Shao Mo pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes as cold as before, not relaxing at all because of Xu Yingke's words.
Following Yu Weiyin, his hand had already touched the six-foot soft sword at his waist.
He swore on his life in his heart that if any danger occurred, he would protect Yu Weiyin as soon as possible!
The further down this trail goes, the darker the sky becomes. At first it was a dusky sky full of yellow sand, and later it became pitch black so dark that you couldn't even see your fingers.
A touch of pearly white light radiates in the darkness.
I don’t know when, Xu Yingke already had two night-light pearls in her hands, and the clear light illuminated the road under her feet.
By this time, Yu Weiyin had stopped asking questions.
Since you are determined to trust her, you will know where you will go next, so why bother asking?
The withered yellow grass made a rustling sound across the skirt, and a few lonely crows shuttled through the forest, like a bell ringing in the heart.
This road was too long. At first it was heading east, then north, and then south... Yu Weiyin wanted to outline the direction in his mind, but in the end, after twists and turns, he could no longer discern the direction.
, forget it.
After walking for about half an hour, Xu Yingke stopped in front, holding a luminous pearl in her hand to illuminate the road behind.
"Oh, I'm so tired. We're finally here. Come up quickly!"
Yu Weiyin's legs and feet were slightly sore, but he could still hold on and followed him in a few steps.
Through the clear light of the pearl, it was clear that they had reached the end of the trail. At the end, there was nothing but a vast and endless lake.
It was already midnight, and the sky was as dark as velvet without any impurities.
But Yu Weiyin knew in his heart that it was impossible to reach Zi hour, so he guessed that it was now noon, when the sun was high in the sky.
It's so weird, it only means that the place they are looking for is anything but ordinary.
"where to?"
Looking around, there is nothing but the calm lake surface.
The lake water was blown by the breeze, making a soft sound like a flute. Occasionally, there were a few calls of water birds, which seemed both sad and distant in the quiet and empty surroundings.
Xu Yingke pointed at the dark lake, "The baby is at the bottom of the lake, do you dare to go?"
Yu Weiyin didn't know how to drink water and showed a regretful smile.
"You must be overestimating me. I don't know how to swim. I'm afraid I can't go down with you."
"I don't know how to swim, but with this thing, walking in the water is as convenient as walking on land."
Xu Yingke stretched out her palm, and there were two bright pearls lying quietly on her palm.
"Night Pearl?" Yu Weiyin asked.
"No, these are water-proof beads. There are only two of them. Take one."
He turned around and smiled at Shao Mo, "You should know how to drink water, right?"
Shao Mo snorted lightly and did not answer. He pulled off the veil on his face, stared at the quiet lake, and said coldly, "Let my lady stay up there, and I will go down with you."
It was late autumn now, and the lake water must be bone-chilling cold. He didn't want Yu Weiyin to get hurt at all.
Xu Yingke was stunned and looked at Yu Weiyin with a teasing smile in her eyes, "Your guard feels sorry for you."
He leaned over, picked up a handful of translucent water, and stirred the water vigorously.
"This water is warm," she said.
Yu Weiyin was surprised. He held the bead in his hand and leaned over to take a closer look.
I saw that the surface of the lake was indeed filled with smoke-like water vapor. When I touched it lightly with my hand, the water was indeed warm and did not make people feel cold at all.
"How's it going? Yu Weiyin, don't you want to go down and have a look?"
Xu Yingke smiled half-heartedly. If Yu Weiyin had not followed, she was not sure whether this cold-faced Shao Mo would obey her instructions.
"Since you have invited me so many times, if I refuse again, wouldn't it be a disgrace to you? But we have agreed that after we find the treasure, we are not allowed to keep it to ourselves."
This Tingzhu Villa is inherently strange, and there is such a weird path. There is actually a wide hot spring at the end of the path...
This is really unbelievable. No matter how hard he tries, Yu Weiyin still doesn’t understand what is going on.
"Take the water-proof beads and follow me closely."
At this point, Xu Yingke no longer wasted time and jumped into the lake.
Yu Weiyin grasped the water-proof beads tightly and followed her example, jumping down, followed closely by Shao Mo.
The lake was originally dark, like a chaotic unopened sky. Fortunately, the water-proof beads on their hands emitted a silvery light, splitting the darkness, and the floating leaves of water plants and various kinds of water plants could be vaguely seen.
Colorful red tail fish.
The deeper you go, the greater the concentration of darkness. Even if there are water droplets, the surroundings cannot be illuminated as bright as day.
Although Yu Weiyin didn't know how to drink water, the bead in his hand was as smooth as walking on the ground. He couldn't help but look back at Shao Mo. He was so dark, but he didn't see anything.
Her heart tightened. Could it be that he was lagging behind?
Just as she was about to turn around and swim back, a pair of generous and strong hands took her slender little hand, and the calmness that came through the palm made her feel warm.
But for just a moment, he let go of her, and the two of them continued to move forward in the darkness, following Xu Yingke.
"Hurry up." Xu Yingke said softly.
Only then did Yu Weiyin realize that he could speak freely with the water-avoiding beads in his hand. He was surprised and delighted at the same time.
In response, she whispered to Shao Mo: "You haven't avoided the water droplets. Don't speak. If you can't hold on, tell me."
"Don't worry, it won't be long. Shao Mo's inner strength is so deep that it won't be a problem to hold on for a quarter of an hour."
Xu Yingke said, like a fish swimming through the darkness, leading them forward.
When she finally stopped, Yu Weiyin touched a hard stone wall.
After groping carefully, there seemed to be some words engraved on the stone wall, but she didn't identify it and didn't dare to stop, continuing to follow Xu Yingke's footsteps.
Seeing that Xu Yingke seemed to be very familiar with this place, moving around like flowing clouds, Yu Weiyin suddenly touched a carved window pane, and his heart became cold with shock.
Moving forward, my legs weakened and I almost tripped over something.
Shao Mo swam to her side, without saying a word, he held her waist tightly and continued to move forward.
Looking at the surroundings with deep eyes, his eyesight was very good, and he could roughly see that this was an abandoned palace silent at the bottom of the lake.
In other words, this is a mausoleum.
But I have never heard of any emperor building a mausoleum in the Tingzhu Villa. Even if a mausoleum was built, it should not be in the Xu Mansion in Tongcheng.
There were several questions swirling in his mind, but his face remained cold and calm, holding Yu Weiyin's waist and moving forward.
Yu Weiyin was not stupid. When she saw that she had entered a wide avenue, she passed through a palace gate. She stretched out her hand and touched the pattern of the flying dragon, and she suddenly understood something in her heart.
