Chapter 112: The Black Hole at the Bottom of the Lake Changes (8000)

In the calm lake, waves were swaying one after another, spreading along the junction of the fishing line and the lake surface. The fishing line shook violently, indicating that something was hooked.

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed ecstasy. He held the fishing rod tightly with both hands and couldn't help shaking.

This was the first time he had such a phenomenon. He was so excited that he couldn't even control his hands.

As a fishing brother, Qin Feng was a person who had never caught a fish. He could even describe it as not having any signs of fishing.

Not only had he never encountered any signs of being hooked, he had never even seen the shadow of a fish.

But now he suddenly saw it, and he found that his luck must have changed.

"I said that people can be unlucky for a while, but they can't be unlucky for a lifetime." Qin Feng said excitedly.

"Breathe calmly, try to feel the vibration of the fishing rod, and start to use force as the fishing rod vibrates, and be sure to do it slowly."

"Don't be nervous at this time, and keep a calm mind."

"Don't use brute force, learn to use clever strength!"

Qin Feng murmured to himself while carefully controlling the fishing rod.

If there were people who knew Qin Feng here, they would definitely be surprised, because the current Qin Feng is completely different from before.

The previous Qin Feng was murderous and could take a life at will, but now he has become nervous, like a person who has never seen the world.

Looking at this nervous expression and shaking hands, it is completely different from the previous Qin Feng.

Of course, Qin Feng doesn't care about these.

He only cares about the fish in front of him.

This is the first time he has a fish hooked. It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous. No one can experience this feeling. Only those who fish can deeply experience this feeling.

Qin Feng followed the skills he had learned and tried his best to manipulate the fishing rod. The fishing line was constantly rising.

The thing that was caught floated to the surface. When Qin Feng saw what he had caught, he was shocked. It was like a bolt from the blue. It hit him and made him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

The fishing line was not caught, but tightly wound.

At the place where the fishing line was wound, a complete skeleton was directly caught by him.

As a person who is addicted to fishing, he has also heard many explanations from his predecessors.

In their line of work, it is easy to encounter some strange things when fishing.

For example, catching a turtle or a shrimp is a common operation.

What's more, catching one or two water snakes is also a common thing.

But now, Qin Feng caught a skeleton, which is really incredible.

Of course, as a genius of the Guyue Sword School, the skeleton in front of him did not affect him at all. He even felt it was bland.

He had seen even more disgusting things, not to mention this skeleton.

"Maybe someone fell into the water and was not found, or was not salvaged. Over time, it became like this." Qin Feng thought.

He was in a bad mood again because he didn't catch any fish. He was ready to get up, untie the skeleton in front of him, and start over.

But before he could make any move, just as he walked to the lake and didn't stretch out his hands, the skeleton in front of him suddenly moved.

The skeleton was originally entangled by the fishing line, but when Qin Feng approached, the skeleton actually slowly raised his right arm and began to untie the fishing line on his body.

On the surface, this action was extremely terrifying.

A skeleton suddenly came to life, and was as flexible as a human, and a gloomy atmosphere filled the lake.

Qin Feng took a step back, frowned, and looked at the lake not far away.

A layer of white fog suddenly appeared on the lake, covering the entire lake. It was already late at night. Under the cover of the white fog, black and white intertwined with each other, and the strong contrast suddenly appeared, which seemed extremely strange.

In the outermost layer of the white fog, Bai Gu also stopped untying the fishing line, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Qin Feng in mid-air.

There was still a distance of two or three meters between the two sides, but with Bai Gu's movements, the surrounding white fog began to surge violently.

On the lake, the white fog gathered into a palm the size of a millstone, and it slapped Qin Feng.

This process looked slow, but it happened in just an instant.

Looking at the palm made of white fog in front of him, Qin Feng frowned, raised his sword finger, and waved it gently.

"Clang!"

A long cry came from the scabbard, and the long sword was instantly unsheathed and slashed towards Bai Gu.

The long sword was like the wind, with unmatched power, from top to bottom, a sword across the sky.

The lake water shook violently, and continued to spread to both sides in the direction of the long sword, raising huge waves two meters high.

The white bones in front of him, under the power of the long sword, turned into debris all over the ground, drifting with the wind, and disappeared in the lake.

In an instant, everything returned to silence, the white mist disappeared, the white bones also disappeared, and returned to their normal appearance. Only Qin Feng was left standing by the lake, thinking.

"Strange, or by the lake?" Qin Feng finally gave up his plan to fish temporarily, because what happened in front of him made him think.

"It doesn't look like a drowned person. The ability just now is more like what this skeleton knew before he died. Could it be that the Jianghu person was thrown into the water after he died?"

The ability of the skeleton just now condensed white mist into a huge palm, which is different from the weirdness of dying in the water.

That level of proficiency is more like a Jianghu person who still retains his ability before he died.

As we all know, after a person dies, there is a probability that he will become weird. The only difference is whether his strength is strong or not. The stronger the Jianghu person is, the stronger he will become after he dies.

"It seems that the water in Yunlai Mansion is very deep, as the headmaster said." Qin Feng said secretly.

He is Chu Yu's cousin. In fact, he doesn't need to be called the headmaster, but he is a person who values ​​rules. No matter when, he always calls him that.

"I have to contact my cousin and tell her to be careful."

Qin Feng looked at the lake in front of him and had no intention of fishing. He packed up his fishing rod and prepared to turn around and leave.

He had to go back quickly and tell Chu Yu about the abnormality here. After all, he came here because of this cousin.

If he caused irreparable losses due to negligence, the headmaster would have to skin him alive.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng shuddered unconsciously.

It is said that he has a strong desire to kill in Gu Yue Sword Sect, but in fact, the one who has the strongest desire to kill is Chu Yu's mother.

After cleaning up for a while, there was actually nothing to clean up, just a fishing rod.

Qin Feng was about to leave immediately, but he didn't expect that the lake surface would become abnormal again before leaving.

After the tossing just now, it has been a while, and the lake surface has fallen into calm. Just when Qin Feng was about to leave, the calm lake surface was rippling again.

The ripples appeared, and this time was different from the previous time. The whole lake surface was rippling with small ripples one after another.

When the whole lake appeared in this situation, the scene was very shocking, and the ripples touched each other and gradually spread to the distance.

Qin Feng stood there. He did not feel any strange situation, but the scene in front of him was even stranger than the strange one.

The rippling of the water did not last long. It took only a few breaths before it slowly subsided.

Although the scene in front of him had subsided, a more terrifying scene appeared again.

On the lake, white things emerged one after another. At first, they were just the tip of a small lotus, but as time went by, they slowly revealed their full appearance.

Bones!

One by one, bones emerged from the water, filling the entire lake.

These bones were big and small. The big ones were about the same as adults, while the small ones were like children.

The lake was full of bones, but none of them could move. It was very different from the strangeness that appeared at the beginning. Instead, it seemed very normal.

Of course, this normality was only in Qin Feng's eyes. If an ordinary person was here, he would have been scared to the point of weakness.

"There is something at the bottom of the lake." Qin Feng looked at the lake, thought for a moment, and came to a conclusion.

But he did not take any action, but thought about returning to the government office and telling Xu Bai about this matter.

When he came, the headmaster told him that if his cousin was not in danger, he should come back quickly, and if there was a threat, he should stay there and act as a protector.

But he should not interfere with the affairs of Yunlai Mansion. It is the most correct thing to leave it to Xu Bai and others. He only needs to ensure the safety of his cousin.

So in this situation, Qin Feng did not intend to delve into it, but immediately turned his head and walked towards the government office.

In the darkness, Qin Feng's figure became farther and farther away until he disappeared.

...

Yunlai Mansion, government office.

Xu Bai was sitting on a chair, looking at the pottery jar in his hand as the chair swayed.

The progress bar above was slowly growing, and he became more excited with each increase.

Although it was no longer strange, he still couldn't hide his excitement, especially when he was alone.

This is a very simple truth. For example, you can draw a prize once a day, but the things you get each time are different, and the excitement is also updated every day.

"So, the progress bar of the pottery jar is faster than that of the ancient moon flying sword technique." Xu Bai leaned on the chair, thinking while looking at the progress bar.

After all, the ancient moon flying sword technique requires sporadic efforts, while the pottery jar does not, so the time spent is different.

"What kind of skill is it?" Xu Bai's heart became more and more expectant.

At this time, it was already very cold at night, and there was still a cool breeze outside. Although there were doors and windows blocking it, it was still possible to hear it clearly.

As he watched, he gradually felt sleepy. Xu Bai estimated the time and thought it was almost time to rest, so he put the pottery jar in a secret place and prepared to go to bed.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement at the door. Xu Bai stood up and looked in the direction of the door.

"Who?"

As soon as this sentence came out, there was a reply.

"It's me, Qin Feng."

Hearing the reply from outside the door, Xu Bai frowned.

Suddenly came to him at this time, and it was already late at night. Did something big happen?

He and Qin Feng had a shallow relationship, they had only met once, there was no need to run to him in the middle of the night, there must be something fishy.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai came to the door and opened it, and saw Qin Feng carrying a fishing rod on his shoulder, looking around, looking cautious.

"Did you attack the Widow Village at night, or kick the Widow's door at night, why are you so cautious?" Xu Bai teased with interest.

Qin Feng certainly heard the teasing meaning, and did not say much. He walked into the room in two steps and said mysteriously: "If I had that ability, I would have sneaked around a long time ago, why would I need to come to you? Didn't I go fishing today? Guess what I encountered?"

Xu Bai closed the door with his backhand and said: "What did you encounter? Caught a big fish?"

Qin Feng grinned, always feeling that Xu Bai's words were rubbing salt into his wounds.

But the key point is that Xu Bai's words are extremely correct, and he has no room for rebuttal.

He felt that if he continued to talk with Xu Bai, he would not have to do anything else tonight, so he did not stay on this topic and told what happened tonight.

When he spoke, he tried to be concise and clear, and it took only half an incense stick of time to make it clear.

The room fell into silence. Xu Bai sat on the chair, tapping the table with his fingers, thinking about what Qin Feng had just said.

If it were any other time, he might not think too much, but now there is an enemy lurking in the dark, and this kind of thing has happened, it is easy to associate them together.

"Follow me." Xu Bai said.

"Wait, wait, I'm not here to help you, I'm just protecting my cousin's safety." Qin Feng felt that he had to explain at this time, otherwise the other party would pull him over to be a thug.

Xu Bai stopped, turned his head, and looked at Qin Feng with a very strange look.

Qin Feng felt uncomfortable being stared at by Xu Bai.

"Come, Brother Qin, sit down, listen to me to sort out the relationship for you." Xu Bai was not in a hurry, and asked Qin Feng to sit down.

Although Qin Feng was confused, he subconsciously sat aside when he saw Xu Bai's action, waiting for Xu Bai to continue.

Xu Bai sorted out his thoughts a little and said, "You want to protect Chu Yu's safety, right?"

Qin Feng nodded, indicating that this was right.

"Chu Yu is my student now. If I want to go, she will follow me." Xu Bai continued.

Qin Feng's face hesitated slightly, but he nodded soon.

It makes sense to say so. There is nothing wrong with it. He can't find any problems.

Xu Bai finally added: "If she follows me, she will definitely encounter dangerous things. You are not around, what should I do?"

Qin Feng: "..."

For some reason, he always feels that the other party is fooling him.

But the key point is that there is nothing wrong with what the other party said.

He protects Chu Yu, and Chu Yu wants to follow Xu Bai, which means that he has to follow Xu Bai.

Qin Feng sighed: "I found that you are really good at pulling people on board."

As a genius of Gu Yue Sword School, Qin Feng is not a stupid person. He quickly figured out the real meaning.

Isn't this a typical case of pulling him on board and making him a grasshopper on a rope, but with a reason that people can't refuse.

However, this reason is really irresistible, because every word hits the point.

If Qingxue were here, she would definitely raise her hands and shout loudly: "Big pit!"

Qingxue also came back to tell Xu Bai the clues, but was dragged onto the ship. The same is true for Qin Feng now.

Xu Bai patted Qin Feng on the shoulder and said seriously: "How could I be that kind of person? I am doing this to help you complete the task better."

Qin Feng's face was full of disbelief: "Let's not say anything, I admit it, what are your plans now?"

Whether he was dragged onto the ship or not, there was no need to say more now. Anyway, he admitted it. After all, he wanted to protect his cousin's safety.

"Of course, it will be handed over to a more suitable person." Xu Bai walked to the door, opened the door, and looked at the night outside: "Brother Yun should like this news very much."

At this point, he raised his foot and walked towards the night.

Qin Feng was stunned for a while, and after reacting, he hurriedly followed Xu Bai.

The two did not communicate in the middle, went straight to Yun Zihai's room, and soon arrived at the door.

The surrounding night was like ink, so thick that it could not be dissolved.

Even in the darkness of this night, Yun Zihai's room was still brightly lit. When he walked to the door, he could still hear the sound of flipping books and Yun Zihai's signature cough.

Xu Bai raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.

Soon, a voice came from inside the door.

"Brother Xu, right? The door is not locked."

Yun Zihai's voice was a little weak, and he coughed from time to time when he said this.

Xu Bai frowned.

With the hard work day and night, he could feel that his body was getting worse at a visible speed.

Congenitally deficient, coupled with the increasing fatigue now, Xu Bai always felt that Yun Zihai was getting weaker and weaker.

"Brother Xu, what's the matter with you bringing him here?" Yun Zihai had also seen Qin Feng, and had seen him when Xu Bai came back before, so she didn't think it was strange, but just thought that Xu Bai must have brought her here for something.

Yun Zihai didn't know much about the Gu Yue Sword Sect, but just heard that this sect was very secretive, and didn't know what it was doing.

"Tell me what you know." Xu Bai didn't waste time and got to the point.

Qin Feng nodded and told the story again.

Yun Zihai fell into deep thought after listening to what Qin Feng said.

After a while, Yun Zihai stood up and walked back and forth in the room, thinking while walking, his brows tightly locked.

"How about we go over there and take a look?" Yun Zihai said.

"Actually, there's no need to go over there. I thought about it when I came back. It's just because I fished out the first skeleton that caused the subsequent events." Qin Feng organized his words and spoke.

"According to this situation, it seems that some mechanism has been triggered. After all, there are no other strange things in that lake on weekdays, and there are even fish."

"Because the skeleton was fished out, it became weird, and the mechanism was opened, so the lake was full of skeletons."

At this point, Qin Feng closed his mouth, indicating that he had finished speaking.

"If that's the case, then we have to go there even more." Xu Bai said.

"Why?" Qin Feng said he didn't quite understand. He had already made a rough guess, so why did he have to go over there again.

"You guessed what you guessed, not what we saw. If it's really like what you said, there must be another cave at the bottom of the lake." Xu Bai said.

"Then I'll go find someone and we'll level the lake." Yun Zihai clapped his hands and made a decision.

If there really was something at the bottom of the lake, they wouldn't go down while there was water. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. This is a wise saying.

"With such a big lake, it may be too late for you to find someone." Xu Bai stood up and said, "Let the yamen runners surround it, and we will do the rest."

Yun Zihai was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Soon, he figured out what Xu Bai meant.

In terms of destructive power, it would be as easy for them to flatten a lake as eating and drinking water.

"Brother Xu, this is too rough." Yun Zihai smiled bitterly.

"In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done. Besides, this is the simplest and most effective method. Compared with finding someone to fill it up and pumping water, there is too much time in between." Xu Bai shook his head and said seriously, "Delay will lead to changes."

Qin Feng looked left and right, and said strangely, "Why don't you let others come? We can actually use this time to fish people out."

When Xu Bai and the others were discussing this issue just now, Qin Feng had been thinking that he could actually think about the problem in a different way.

If ordinary people were to do it, it would take time. Whether it was to raise manpower or to dry up the lake, it would take a long time to wait.

But this waiting period was not in vain.

When they were building, the people behind them must know that if there was a connection with those people, those people would definitely make some moves. They could just lure them into a trap and they would be done.

In Qin Feng's opinion, this was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, but he couldn't understand why Xu Bai didn't do it.

After hearing what Qin Feng said, Xu Bai and Yun Zihai looked at each other and shook their heads.

Qin Feng had a lot of doubts on his face. He always felt that these two people were very mysterious and particularly insidious.

"We are already on the same boat. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. It's useless for you to hide it from me."

He was kept in suspense by these two people, and now he really wanted to know what these two people were thinking.

"You tell me." Xu Bai said.

Yun Zihai nodded, then raised two fingers: "In fact, at the beginning, I had the same idea as you, but after Brother Xu told me his method just now, I think Brother Xu must have considered two aspects."

"First, is this discovery a secret move by the other party? If not, we will get things faster than the other party."

"Second, if it is, then the other party will definitely find a way to stop us. No matter when, we are waiting for the rabbit, it is the same. If we are fast, the other party will also be fast."

If it is really one of the plans of the person behind the scenes, they will definitely be prevented from destroying it. The faster they act, the faster the person behind the scenes will definitely be, and the speed is proportional to them.

Qin Feng was even more confused: "But what if the other party doesn't think so? We are too fast, and the other party didn't even make a move. Isn't it a waste of an opportunity?"

This time, it was not Yun Zihai who answered him, but Xu Bai.

"Can you guarantee that you will succeed? What if the other party has another plan that we didn't think of? What if we didn't wait for him and let him succeed in vain?" Xu Bai asked a soul-stirring question.

After hearing this, Qin Feng finally understood and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Since there is a new clue, it is best to hold it firmly in your hands. Waiting for him is good, but if the rabbit is too smart, it will not be worth it.

"Let's go, finish the work early and rest early. You get ready, I'll go call Chu Yu." Xu Bai said a few words and left Yun Zihai's room directly and walked towards Chu Yu's position.

When he woke Chu Yu up, Chu Yu was still sleepy, obviously she had fallen asleep and was forced to get up.

However, when she heard that there was a new discovery, Chu Yu's sleepiness disappeared. She changed her clothes with excitement on her face, followed Xu Bai, and walked to the door happily.

Outside the door, it was pitch black. It was still a long time before the next morning, and Yun Zihai and Qin Feng were already waiting at the door.

"Let's go." Xu Bai waved his hand and said.

The few people did not hesitate and rushed towards the lake...

...

Xu Bai and his friends were on their way. On the other side, Hongfen, who was far away from the government office, looked at the letter in her hand with a cautious look on her face.

She stared at the letter tightly, holding it tightly with both hands, shaking constantly. In addition to caution, her eyes were more helpless.

After a long time, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect that the person in charge contacted me for the first time because his arrangement was exposed."

"It's really good. He chose me and asked me to take this risk. Don't they know that the Chen family has been exposed to the enemy's eyes?"

"Damn it! I have to go."

Although Hongfen had no expression on her face, her heart was full of turbulent waves, just like a drifting boat facing the threat of huge wind and waves.

She was exposed, and she was more and more convinced that Gui Qi betrayed her and revealed the affairs of the Chen family.

Recently, she ordered the head of the Chen family not to do anything else, which was also a test.

Xu Bai and Yun Zihai did not make any movement, which deepened her guess that the other party was waiting for her to take action. Once she took action, she would definitely face a storm.

After all, the other party didn't know where she was now, and didn't want to alert the snake. Once her so-called snake appeared, she would face a terrifying follow-up.

So she had been walking on thin ice for this period of time, but she didn't expect that this piece of letter today would disrupt her overall plan.

According to what was written on the letter, she must stop the other party from entering the lake at all costs.

Moreover, the letter also emphasized another way, which could lead to the bottom of the lake from another secret passage.

Is it dangerous?

Very dangerous.

There is no absolute certainty in this world. We can only reduce the risk, but it is impossible to reduce the risk to zero.

Hongfen's sighs became heavier and heavier. Finally, she burned the letter and waved to the darkness.

In the darkness, the head of the Chen family came out, his face full of respect, but in this respect, there was a trace of greed, and his greedy eyes stared straight at Hongfen.

"Come here, I'll tell you something. If you help me do it, I'll give you everything you want." Hongfen said.

The head of the Chen family walked to Hongfen without any hesitation, and his eyes, as his head dropped, stared at Hongfen's thighs.

"Now, you go to a place, pass through the secret passage in that place, enter the destination, and then..." Hongfen said slowly.

The head of the Chen family nodded while listening.

Without any hesitation, after Hongfen finished speaking, he just said "OK" and left this place.

Hongfen looked at the back of the head of the Chen family and sneered.

"Although I am a member of the Dark Tower, I have lived in this place since I was a child. I can be used by your Dark Tower, but it does not mean that I can sacrifice my life at any time."

"This is a test. If it succeeds, I will still be your member. If it fails..."

Hongfen raised her head and looked at the darkness in the sky, thinking.

...

On the other side.

Xu Bai and his men rushed to the lake without stopping. When he saw the scene in front of him, Xu Bai frowned slightly.

Perhaps they came too early, and the other party did not react. There were still countless white bones floating on the lake, which looked particularly gloomy under the cover of the night.

"There was no trace of anyone on the way we came, but it does not mean that he did not come from other directions." Yun Zihai said.

"Let's start directly, hurry up." Xu Bai turned his head and looked at everyone.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

This lake is very big, at least much bigger than the small lake they encountered in the suburbs.

Xu Bai pulled out the ghost-head knife at his waist, and after circulating his true energy, he slashed in the air, and the aura spread along the blade, slashing on the lake.

The power of this knife was amazing, and the lake surface raised high waves and soared into the sky.

When the waves rose, Yun Zihai waved the brush in his hand and wrote words in the air. The words fell on the book in his left hand, turning all the waves into the air.

On the other side, Qin Feng pinched the sword formula, and with a sword across the sky, all the waves were cut off and turned into small water splashes.

"Huh!"

Chu Yu performed the Wuxiang Heart Sutra, and her heart was free to go. The newly acquired long sword was carried on her back and also soared directly into the air, turning into sword shadows, cutting the remaining water splashes into even smaller water droplets.

"You have practiced the outline so quickly. My cousin is really amazing." Qin Feng praised.

Xu Bai didn't pay attention to these. When the water flow became water droplets, he raised his left hand and waved his sleeves.

A large number of strong winds rose up, pushing the water droplets in front of him down and pushing them to the distant woods.

A light drizzle fell in the woods in the distance, and many animals made strange noises, obviously not expecting the rain to come so quickly.

After a short period of time, the amount of water in the lake had decreased a lot.

"Keep going." Xu Bai said.

The crowd did not waste words and continued to act according to the cooperation just now.

It must be said that this lake is really big. It took them about half an incense stick of time to empty the entire lake.

The surrounding woods were all wetted by the lake water, as if they had just experienced a storm.

Xu Bai walked to the lake, and when he saw the scenery in front of him, his eyes lit up slightly.

With the bright moonlight, he could see that there was a black hole at the bottom of the lake that one person could pass through.

"Finally found it."
