The warm current rose up not too far ahead. As the distance between them increased, the scene at the bottom of the lake gradually became hazy, and one could no longer see what was inside. Lin Jin retracted his heart, and looked up, only seeing a wave.

Not long after, this warm current finally carried him to the surface of the lake, and then immediately sank down to the bottom of the lake, leaving him alone on the surface.

Lin Jin knew that although he was no longer going to trigger the array, he was still in the range of the array. He did not dare be careless, and determined the direction, following the direction recorded by Xu Wuzi's spiritual consciousness, he swam towards the southern shore.

Although this cave was much larger than the cave he had stayed in earlier, the land space was not that big. Looking from the surface of the lake, one could see a sparkling lake, and it was impossible to tell if it was because of the array or some other reason, he raised his head to look at the top of the cave, only to see a cold light shining everywhere, just like the stars in the sky, illuminating the entire cave, extremely enchanting.

After reaching the shore, Lin Jin casually swept his gaze over the shore. He discovered that not too far to the left of the landing point, there were eight pure white stone pillars that were over ten meters tall. They were arranged according to the direction of the gossip.

With regards to this place, Xu Wuzi's spiritual consciousness did not explain in detail, they only said that after following the warm current to the surface of the lake, they would head south, and there would naturally be something on the shore that would allow him to leave. Lin Jin guessed, that this strange array would actually let him leave?

He curiously walked to the front of the pillars and saw that the eight pillars had symbols carved on them from left to right, indicating that the pillars were at least ten feet apart from each other. The symbols were arranged in an anti-gossip formation.

On the ground surrounded by the eight stone pillars, there was a clean rock. Lin Jin lowered his head to look at it, and realized that there were some inscriptions that he could not understand at all. However, there was a faint pattern of lines that appeared, and it was unknown what they were used for.

He wanted to enter the stone pillar to have a closer look, but just as he was about to step between the eight pillars, a milky white light suddenly appeared. Before he could react, he felt a great force appear out of nowhere, sending him four or five meters away.

He almost fell into the lake again. Unknowingly, he broke out in a cold sweat.

When he looked at the stone pillar again, he only saw a layer of faint white light enveloping the area around the stone pillar, revealing a strong aura.

Could it be that he needed to test his cultivation before entering? Calming his nerves, he thought that since Xu Wuzi was able to send all the Grand Cloud Immortal Pavilion out, he should not harm him. He guessed a reason to himself and walked over to the area surrounded by the stone pillars, and even added an additional layer of zhenqi to his body.

However, no matter how many zhenqi s he used to protect himself, it did not matter. Without exception, all of them were shot out by the white light, and the more powerful the zhenqi, the stronger its rebound force was. After using it several times, he was finally bounced back into the lake by the white light.

After striking out a large wave, a thought suddenly flashed across his mind. Could it be that only by not using zhenqi s as protection can one enter?

From this point of view, the more zhenqi s he used, the more rebounding power he would have. It was not impossible, and from the looks of it, the stone pillar had formed some sort of array formation to connect to the elemental energy of heaven and earth, and using brute force to break it was impossible.

With that thought, Lin Jin immediately retracted his zhenqi and retracted the zhenyuan that was used to protect him in the previous cave.

Suddenly, he felt a cold feeling on his body. Lowering his head to look, he realized that his clothes had long since melted into the rocks while avoiding the monster's flames.

The only things left were the mirror that had been hanging on his chest and the Cosmic Bag that was wrapped around his waist. He could not help but let out a bitter laugh, and then took out the remaining clothes from the Cosmic Bag and put it on.

He had long since gotten used to the mirror that was still hanging in front of his chest. During those months of cultivation, he had unintentionally discovered that the metal string that was connected to the mirror had somehow turned into the same color as the mirror, although it was still soft.

Compared to before, its tenacity was like the heavens. An underground world was completely different.

He once again walked to the front of the stone pillar. Because he no longer had the zhenqi's protection, he couldn't help but to become more careful for a moment. He gently extended his finger towards the halo of light enveloping the stone pillar, and indeed, it passed through without any obstruction, no longer having the rebound energy from before.

Knowing that his guess was right, Lin Jin was overjoyed as he hurriedly stepped inside.

Who knew that at this moment, the light enveloping the eight stone pillars would suddenly burst out, and an intense mass of Essence Qi would shoot out from the eight stone pillars and press down on him. At the same time, he felt an astonishing burning sensation beneath his feet, wanting to melt his feet.

Lin Jin was shocked, he immediately wanted to leave the area of the stone pillars. However, before he could even move, a gloomy and unpredictable taiji diagram suddenly appeared above his head, spinning slightly at a slow but actually very fast speed. It was as though his entire body had turned into air, he was sucked in, and disappeared …

The Poyang Lake was China's largest freshwater lake, filled with vast amounts of smoke, green water, white sails, an endless blue sky. Since ancient times, it was China's home of fish and rice, full of poetry.

The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo's description of "the fishing boat singing late and the shore of Peng Li" in the ancient book "Teng Wang Ge Preface" is the beautiful scenery of the Poyang Lake.

As the saying goes, we rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water. For such a large lake, the number of people that rely on it to survive is naturally many. Amongst the tens of thousands of people that rely on the Poyang Lake to eat, the boat captain, Luo Dong, was one of them.

Because of his stooped back, people who knew him well usually called him Hunchback Luo without calling him by his name. However, he was born with a good character, so even if other people called him that, he would happily agree without showing any displeasure.

Ever since he was born, Luo Dong had been living on the Poyang Lake.

He had lived for nearly fifty years now, and although he could not be compared to those big brothers who went out of the lake to fish in their early sixties, it was only after almost fifty years of fishing, but he had already become familiar with every part of the water surface in the Poyang Lake. It could even be said that he was not even as familiar with the parts of his wife's body as this lake.

However, because of this, he could not help but feel a chill in the air where he was going to pass today. Because he was going to pass through this place today. It was the water body of the old temple that was known as the "Demon Triangle" of Poyang Lake.

Ever since he was a child, this area of water had been one of the most talked about topics by the village's elders. There was no other reason but the fact that this area of water was simply too mysterious and terrifying.

This area of water was around thirty meters deep, with the deepest part being forty meters deep. It would dry up every year. The water depth was not more than eight meters, which was considered shallow compared to those places that could easily move up to a hundred meters.

Ordinarily, this area of water is sunny, blue sky and white clouds, the water is calm, the scenery is pleasant, it looks like an absolutely excellent lake resort.

However, this seemingly safe and sound place was actually the place where the ship captains and passengers feared the most.

Because, no one knew when this peaceful lake would turn into a monstrous wave that would swallow you up.

According to local statistics, more than 300 ships have been killed in these waters since the 1960s. At times, the waters were sunny and windy, but the next moment, black fog billowed out, and the wind billowed.

Once one was caught in it, even the person and boat would disappear without a trace. One would not be able to see the person or the corpse.

What was even more legendary was that after the Earth incident of April 16, 1945, a Japanese transport ship, the "Kobe Pill", which weighed more than 2000 tons, suddenly disappeared without a trace when it reached the waters of the ancient temple in northwest of Jiangxi Poyang Lake, leaving not a single survivor on board the ship.

After that. The Japanese navy had sent men into the lake to scout, and among the people who had gone into the water, except for the embankment at the foot of the mountain, everyone else had mysteriously disappeared.

After the victory of the War of Resistance, the famous U. S. dive expert Edward A. After coming to the Poyang Lake, they had not found anything even after several months of salvaging. Not only that, but the salvage operation had eliminated Edward C. Outside Boer, several American divers disappeared again.

But up until today, under the water of the Master's Water Temple that wasn't even 40 meters deep. Countless scientific explorers too. Neither the shipwrecks nor the salvors ever found any shipwrecks under the waters of the temple. Its mysteriousness was unimaginable.

Thinking about the strange things that happened in this lake, Luo Dong's heart was a mess as he felt a faint sense of foreboding.

Originally, he was still fishing in another place this morning. If it wasn't for the fact that his brother-in-law wanted to visit his elder sister and was forced to come and pick him up by his wife, even if Luo Dong had more guts, he wouldn't dare to pass through this devilish water area.

However, at this point, he had no other choice but to be more careful and speed along the way.

The weather was still warm and sunny. Even though it was winter, the sunlight was extremely warm and comfortable. For Poyang Lake, who had been raining for a few days, this was indeed a rare good weather.

On the deck in front of the boat, a gentle looking young man wearing glasses stood against the wind, looking at the sun and the calm surface of the lake, he suddenly stretched his body and smiled towards Luo Dong who was in the cockpit: "Brother-in-law, you said that this area of water is the most dangerous place in Poyang Lake, why do you not look like it?"

Seeing that they were about to cross the water surface, Luo Dong relaxed a little and revealed a smile. He squinted his eyes and said: "If you really want to feel like it, then it's too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, the situation suddenly changed.

The heavens seemed to be playing a big joke on him. Just a moment ago, the weather was still beautiful, but after he replied to his brother-in-law, a light ball of water vapor suddenly appeared above the water surface, turning into a rolling, inky cloud in the blink of an eye.

Waves of whistling sounds rolled in his ears like thunder, and under his feet, he felt the surface of the lake violently tremble.

"Damn it!" An-An, quickly enter the cabin! " Seeing that he had seen this familiar scene several times from afar, Luo Dong was so scared that his face turned pale. While trembling and calling out his brother-in-law's name, he drove to the largest engine, hoping to escape from this area of water as soon as possible.

Black clouds quickly covered the last of the sunlight. Luo Dong's brother-in-law hid in the cabin, holding onto the ship's railing tightly with both of his hands, trembling in fear.

Looking through the windows of the ship and seeing the strange weather outside, his heart was filled with regret for this visit. However, in this strange phenomenon, all the fear and regret were unnecessary. The only thing he could do was pray …

At the moment, Luo Dong was only concerned about getting the boat to leave this place, but he didn't know why, but the boat seemed to be stuck to the lake, not moving an inch. It was just that in the darkness, he did not realise this at all.

"AHH!" It's a ghost! "

Just as the sky darkened, Luo Dong heard his brother-in-law let out a weird cry that was filled with disbelief, and then he died.

However, for some reason, he did not know why, but after he shouted, the wind and waves actually started to calm down. In less than a few minutes, the clouds had dissipated and the sunlight was shining down from the sky, causing the entire lake to be tranquil. Other than the sound of the small boat, all that could be heard was the sound of the waves, as if the terrifying scene just now was just an illusion, and everything seemed extremely strange.

Luo Dong was stunned for a while, he did not know how his boat came out of the water, but when he realised they were out of danger, Luo Dong suddenly remembered that he had a brother in the cabin who was unknown whether he was dead or alive, he suddenly screamed, and immediately dropped the rudder in his hand, and ran back into the cabin.

When he ran into the cabin, he found that his brother-in-law was sitting in the center of the cabin safe and sound. However, his face was pale without a trace of blood. Even the glasses that had been hanging on his nose had disappeared.

"An Zi, why did you scream just now?" Luo Dong looked at his brother-in-law and asked with an innocent heart. At this moment, he could only use that question to calm his heart down a little, but he had never thought of what his brother-in-law would answer.

However, after Luo Dong asked this question, he did not see a reply for a long time. Just as he was about to return to the cockpit, he heard his brother-in-law's trembling lips, and suddenly spat out a sentence: "I see, I see him!"

Hearing his unfathomable words, Luo Dong felt his heart go numb. A strange feeling arose in his heart and he asked while trembling, "What, what did you see?"

"I, I just saw a person fly out from the churning lake …"

After hearing these words, Luo Dong's face which had just recovered a bit of color, immediately became deathly pale again …
