Bailiming sat up suddenly, sweating profusely when he was woken up. He looked around and saw that he was still in the cave on the cliff. He was covered with felt and the stone base was in the stove. Dried cow dung was burning brightly and dimly.
The night outside the cave was like thick inkstone, too deep to be dissolved. The rising and falling of the lake water slapped the lake shore, making a "swishing" sound, which was particularly clear in this quiet night.
"Huh... was this just a dream?"
When Baoler heard the noise coming from Baili Ming, he woke up sleepily and raised his head to check.
With the faint light of the fire, she saw Baili Ming sitting on the stone bed in a daze, she suddenly woke up and asked with concern:
"Brother Bai, are you okay?"
Bailiming smiled at her and comforted her softly:
"It's okay. I've been lying down every day during this period, but now I suddenly can't fall asleep. Bao Leer, don't worry. You can go to bed quickly. I'll go out and get some fresh air before going to sleep."

Baoler also sat up and said while looking for boots:
"I'll accompany you and let's enjoy the breeze together."
At this time, Bai Liming had already put on his shoes and blanket and walked over.
He held the girl's shoulders with both hands, pushed her gently onto the bed, and said softly:
"I'm really fine. I just had a strange dream and I wanted to be alone to think it over. Baoler, be obedient and go to sleep."
Seeing Bai Liming's soft and firm tone, Baoler stopped insisting and lay quietly on the stone bed, watching Bai Liming walk out of the cave and sit down not far away.
The navy blue night was dotted with stars, and the lonely back of a young man under the starlight formed a vivid painting, which made Bao Leer deeply intoxicated.
Baili Ming sat quietly, with the damp and cold night wind blowing on his face, making him gradually calm down.ωωw..net
The dream just now was so clear, as if it really happened, but everything in the dream was a bit strange. When I touched the lake with my hand in the dream, what was reflected in the lake was not my own face.
It was a strange-looking middle-aged man, with a pair of slightly raised, big copper bell-like eyes, a reddish complexion, fine scales on his cheeks, and thick lips pouting forward, like
a fish.

Seeing this, Bai Liming was shocked and wanted to turn around, leave the lake shore, and return to the cave.
However, his body was not under control at all. Instead, he took off his clothes and was naked in the night wind. Then, he plunged into the warm lake water with a sudden movement.
As soon as he entered the water, Bai Liming felt that his body had changed and turned into a big fish that was more than ten feet long.
This big fish has a spindle-shaped body, large and round scales, and is light red in color. A tail fin is deeply forked, the gill rakers are short, the abdomen is round, and there is a pair of snout and jaw barbels below the mouth. It is actually a red
carp.
At this time, Bai Liming finally understood his current identity, a transformed fish demon.
The fish monster swung its tail, twisted its body, and swam quickly toward the dark and deep bottom of the lake.
Although the bottom of the lake was dim, it was extremely clear in the eyes of the fish demon. At first, there were aquatic plants growing in the water near the shore, and some slender silver fish the size of a palm were swimming among them. The bottom of the lake was mainly silt.
But as the fish demon went deeper, the temperature of the Tianhu Lake became higher and higher. There was no grass growing in the water, and there were no traces of the small fish. There were only huge stones scattered on the bottom of the lake.
From a distance, we have seen several parallel springs in the center of Tianhu Lake. Those hot springs gush out from the rocks at the bottom of the lake. Thick water columns penetrate the bottom of the lake and the surface of the lake, like several giant white dragons.
Soaring from the ground, soaring straight up to the sky.
The temperature here is already extremely hot, a few points hotter than boiling water. If this were an ordinary fish, it would be cooked in less than a cup of tea.

The fish demon is obviously very strong and can swim in this hot water with ease, but it gradually becomes unable to handle it after staying for a long time.
I saw the fish demon spitting out bubbles. The strings of bubbles did not float up and disperse, but gathered around the fish demon, wrapping it tightly, as if the fish was covered with transparent bubbles.
pearl.
After getting ready, the fish demon swung its body towards the nearest spring, which was two feet wide and gurgling with hot water.
The fish demon paused for a moment, as if hesitating. After a moment, it finally made up its mind and plunged into the spring without looking back.
The huge water flow surged and impacted, preventing the fish demon from moving forward.
Under this terrifying impact force, the fish demon was like a small boat swimming upstream in the flood, or like a bird flying against the wind in the strong wind.
It seems that the next moment, he will be beaten to pulp in this torrent and torn into pieces in this storm.
The bubbles spitting out of the fish demon's mouth became faster and faster, and there were more and more bubbles, and those bubbles began to squeeze the fish's body continuously.
After dozens of breaths, the big fish that was more than ten feet long was actually compressed into a small fish that was more than two feet long. However, the scales of this small fish were even denser and glowed with a metallic luster.
And those bubbles also merged together and turned into a thin film to wrap the fish demon.
The thin film is like armor made of ice, shining with a cold light, but it is not as bulky as armor, and is more flexible like leather. Therefore, the fish body is still flexible.
The smaller size reduced the resistance of the water flow, and the fish demon finally broke the deadlock and began to move against the current in the hot springs gushing outward.
At first, the speed of the fish demon was relatively slow, like a toddler.
Gradually, the speed of the fish demon became faster and faster, like a hungry wolf chasing its prey.
Finally, when the fish demon was about to run out of power, it rushed out of the surging hot spring and entered an underground river.
Afterwards, it floated quietly in the underground river, rested for a while and waited until its strength recovered, then swam towards the depths of the underground river.
I don't know how long it took, maybe a long time, maybe a quarter of an hour, Baili Ming was in a trance in his dream, and felt the fish demon climb up the shore, and then turned into a human form and staggered to the edge of a cliff.
Below is an abyss that can't be seen to the bottom, shrouded in thick black mist, without a trace of light.
Suddenly, a pair of blood-red pupils lit up in the abyss. Those blood pupils were so huge that if they were like whales in the deep sea, the fish demon was as small as a small fish in the lake in front of it.
Under the pressure as vast as the sea, the fish demon's heart was filled with fear, but more importantly, it was filled with joy and excitement.

"I found it, I finally found it, hahahaha, who would have thought that Nangong Suzaku, one of the Four Spirits of Heaven and the Four Divine Beasts in ancient times, would be suppressed in this far north. As long as I can find his inner elixir
, you can become the most powerful person in this world."
The fish demon Jiejie laughed strangely, and then it stared at the pair of terrifying blood pupils, as if to cheer itself up, and murmured:
"This is just a remnant of his soul. He is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, so there is nothing to fear."
It roared out the last sentence almost at the top of its lungs, and then it jumped and fell straight into the abyss.
However, those huge blood-colored eyes seemed to come to life, emitting a scorching flame-like shadow that completely swallowed up the fish demon, without even having time to let out a scream.
Bailiming's body also seemed to be burned by the flames, and he felt extremely painful, but because he was worried about disturbing Baoler, he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.
After a long time, the pain subsided and Baili Ming breathed out slowly, but his heart was filled with ups and downs.
Just now he carefully recalled the scene in the dream, which shocked him and made him full of questions:
"Why did I dream about a fish monster? Is this not a dream, but a real memory?"
"Well... To find out all this, we only need to check whether Nangong Suzaku is suppressed at the bottom of the Tianhu Lake. It seems that I need to find a way to enter that spring."
