Yunze had been practicing with his eyes closed, breathing in the mysterious energy between heaven and earth, when suddenly a familiar voice came to his ears.
"Time is up."
"Um?"
Yunze was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his eyes, and was shocked to find that Bubu had floated in front of him.
Although he had loosened part of his control over the lake, the nearby waters were still under his control.
This was to prevent some violent fish from colliding with him, but... he didn't notice when Bubu came over at all!
"I said it's time."
Bubu repeated it again: "Three days are up. You can go back now. Just don't forget what I told you."
"So fast?"
Yunze was stunned for a while. He thought that only an hour had passed at most, but he didn't expect that it had already been three days.
Maybe it's because I can't feel hungry and I'm immersed in absorbing the mysterious energy, so this time always feels like it's passing too fast.
"There is no sun or moon in the mountains, so cultivation is like this."
Bubu explained casually: "Three days is just the blink of an eye. A real cultivator can practice for hundreds of years at a time, and there are even those who live in seclusion for thousands of years."
"A hundred years or so!?"
"Okay, don't talk so much, go back first, otherwise that person should wait and be anxious."
Bubu said as he swam toward the lake, and Yunze hurriedly followed behind.
For some reason, Yunze always felt that after these three days, Bubu became a little different.
In the past, Bubu was cold, talkative, and mysterious, but he was not as unpredictable as he is now.
As a little girl, I have never been out of Hanshan Village.
How did she know that some cultivators often practice in seclusion for hundreds of years or thousands of years?
Yunze couldn't understand. It would seem inappropriate to ask the old gentleman about these things.
He could even guess how the old gentleman would answer him... I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me.
Forget it, it's better to ask Bubu personally after taking revenge.
Now that the mysterious energy in my body is almost full again, I may be able to learn more about the Immortal Family from the old gentleman.
To be honest, Yunze is still looking forward to it.
Soon he followed Bu Bu out of the water, and what he saw was the blossoming lotus candle lantern.
It's night now, the lanterns on the lakeside are starting to light up, and flower boats are wandering on the lake.
The lights of thousands of houses echoed the crescent moon in the sky, and pedestrians carrying lanterns walked and stopped by the lakeside.
Those lotus candle lanterns were put into the lake by pedestrians.
Although I don’t know what the significance of them putting the lotus candle lanterns is, judging from this scene alone, the government office should have canceled the supervision of Wanqing Lake.
This is much more convenient.
Whether it is to leave the lake by yourself or to practice again, it will be more convenient, as long as you avoid those black dogs.
Yunze swam with Bubu to the bushes where he first entered the lake.
As soon as I got up, I saw a man wearing a black robe standing by the lake, holding a lantern in his hand, shining on the lake!
"who!"
Yunze asked subconsciously, and had already started to control a stream of water. Once he found something was wrong, he would wrap the opponent and pull him into the water!
"Guest sir!"
The man in black robe hurriedly shouted, putting the lantern in front of him and illuminating his features: "It's me, Xiao Si'er!"
"Han Si?"
Yunze was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Han Si to be waiting for him here.
Since it is Han Si, there should be no problem.
But...since he is waiting for him here, it means that he knows that he and Bubu have been living under the water for three days, and may have guessed something.
He and Bubu got up from the water first, used fairy jade to drain the moisture from their clothes, then looked at Han Si and asked, "Why are you here?"
There was a look of surprise in Han Si's eyes, and then he covered it up: "I saw that you haven't come out of the lake for a long time, so I was a little worried.
And about He Lai Chao..."
"What happened to He Laichao?"
"He hasn't come out of He Mansion in the past few days, nor has he continued to look for anyone. It seems extremely strange."
As Han Si spoke, he clenched his fists and frowned: "So I went to inquire a little bit. I heard some rumors in the past few days. It is said that Weishan Mansion has brought many children from other mountain villages and sent them all to He Mansion.
among.
But strange to say, no one has ever seen those children come out, it must be..."
Yunze frowned: "What is it?"
"They're all dead."
Hearing the three words spoken by Han Si, Yunze frowned instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
died?
why is that?
Even if He Laichao was no longer a human being and no matter how violent he was, he wouldn't kill children for fun, right?
Even at the beginning, he ordered the massacre of the village because he failed to obtain the Immortal Jade.
Everything he did must have another purpose.
"Okay, I understand." Yunze could only spit out these five words.
Now I don't have the confidence to take revenge, so I can only make a note silently in my heart.
"Know? Just...know?"
Han Si raised his head and looked at Yunze, gritted his teeth and asked: "Sir, Rong Xiaosi, let me ask one more question, you...are from the Xian family, right?"
"No……"
"Stop saying otherwise!"
As soon as Yun Ze uttered a word, Han Si interrupted him and threw the package in his hand to the ground: "I know! I know you are the Fairy in the Lake!
You went to Wanqing Lake that night when the Immortal in the Lake appeared, but you came back later! You stayed at the bottom of the lake for so long. If you weren't from the Immortal family, how could you have done this!
And the method just now, if it weren't for the immortal family, how could it be possible to dry the wet clothes so quickly!
You just don’t want to save people! You don’t want to..."
"Shut up!"
Han Si's voice became louder and louder, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became. If he were allowed to continue speaking, he would probably attract other people instead of the government officials.
At that time, Yunze was really riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he had no choice but to stop him.
"Why shut up!"
Han Si yelled, raised his finger and pointed at the tip of Yunze's nose and cursed: "It's because of you immortals that we, the lower class, are living in dire straits!
We, like them, believe in you!
They have a lot of wealth and use the cheapest gold and silver to worship you. We can't afford to eat, but we put the most precious wine and meat on the altar!
But you still choose gold and silver! Bless them! Never question us poor people!
Why should I listen to you? Just because you are immortals?"
"Oh, what a damn fairy!"
Yunze remained silent.
He is not considered an immortal, and even from a human perspective, he strongly agrees with what Han Si said.
"You told me to shut up?"
When Han Si saw that Yunze was silent, he simply continued: "But I won't shut up! I want to speak out loud! Expose the faces of you immortals and gods!"
"Since you don't want to ask, then I'll ask!"
"Since you don't kill them, then I will kill them!"
"You gods and gods can go as far as you want! We mortals no longer need you for our affairs!"
"At least...I don't need it anymore!"
"Han Si, calm down first and listen to me..."
"I don't need to hear any more!"
Han Si had already fallen into madness. He took a step forward and stared at Yunze with slightly red eyes: "I only want to ask you one question!"
