1591: C1591 Water Demon in the Bottomless Lake

C1591 Water Demon in the Bottomless Lake

After passing the Luo Kou pontoon bridge and following the embankment road to the east about two kilometers, there was a small road north of the embankment.

There would be a village a few kilometers north of this road. It was called Lou Cheng Village.

The origin of Lou Cheng's village was due to the fact that the village was made up of two surnames.

To the north of Lou Cheng's village was a piece of alkaline land that had been designated as the "flood discharge zone" by the Heaven Palace. It was at least a few thousand mu of land.

Since the beginning of the new century, the Yellow River had not been as restless as it had been in the past. However, the Sky Mansion had always been prepared for an emergency flood relief, so it had never given up on guarding this area.

After more than ten years of recuperation, the several thousand mu of flood area had greatly changed the quality of the earth. Green grass, wild flowers, trees, and the like were scattered everywhere. It became a paradise for rabbits, rats, and even pheasants.

In the center of this area, there was a small lake.

This oval shaped lake, which had an area of at most one hundred mu, actually existed for many years. Even the oldest old man in Lou Cheng's village could not tell how long it had been there.

According to the records of the local counties, when the Ming Empire was in its most prosperous era, when Lou Cheng's ancestors moved to this area from the north, the lake had already existed.

The lake was not big, but the water quality was very good. The biggest characteristic of the lake was its depth.

Unfathomable.

Not only was it unfathomable, but no matter how dry the lake was, there was no time for it to dry up.

As for how deep the lake actually was, according to the older generation, in the 1960s and 1970s, Lou Cheng's village branch had once mobilised people to measure it with grass ropes.

The result was surprising: no matter how many grass ropes were tied to the lake, they did not touch the bottom, and when the rope continued to go down, it would break.

It was broken off in unison, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade. It was seventy to eighty meters deep in the water!

Was there some weird, knife-like fish growing in this lake?

No one knew, and no one dared to go down, but after the seventh time when the village letter brought up the broken rope (at the same depth), the measurement was abandoned. From then on, this nameless lake was called the 'Bottomless Lake' by the locals.

People of different faiths also said that in the depths of the Boundless Lake, there was an underground river that went directly to the East Sea. At the head of the river, which was about seventy to eighty meters deep, there was a crystal palace which housed the youngest son of Dragon King of the East Sea.

Although these legends were ridiculed as nonsense by many intellectuals, many villagers in the vicinity believed them. They warned the cultural figures that it was best not to go into the water without permission in order to provoke the wrath of the dragon king and lose his life in vain.

Cultural youths who firmly believed that everything in this world was composed of numbers naturally wouldn't take such foolish warnings to heart — until, for thirteen years in a row, a total of thirty-one cultured youngsters were drowned in the lake while taking a bath and playing.

Other than people like Cheng Lao San and Lao Lou who came here to fish when they had nothing to do, cultural people never came here. This place had become their forbidden area.

The two of them, who were over the age of sixty, wanted to laugh whenever they thought of some people who would take a detour when they passed by the Boundless Lake. They felt that these brats, who had just learned a few big words, were trying to overthrow the ancient gods' culture that had been passed down for thousands of years.

Many people believed that there was no ghost in this world. That was because they had never seen one, so they didn't believe it.

Old Lou's letter.

This was because when he saw the fishing hook sinking rapidly, he was pleasantly surprised, thinking that he had caught a big fish. When he repeatedly called out to Cheng Lao San for help, something in the water snatched away the fishing rod that was tightly grasped.

If it wasn't for him hugging a wild pear tree at the side in time, he probably would have been dragged down as well.

Then, to Lao Lou's and Cheng's astonishment, they saw a mermaid slowly rise to the surface.

Lou and Lou both stared at the mermaid on the surface of the water, completely stunned. Their brains had stopped, and their mouths were open wide enough for a melon to be stuffed inside. "What kind of mermaid is this?"

Her long hair was as black as ink. She raised her two lotus-gourd-like arms and pushed aside the hair covering her face with her slender fingers, revealing a beautiful face and spitting out a mouthful of water.

Suddenly, the two of them regretted not becoming cultured people.

Because according to the vocabulary they knew, it was impossible to describe the beauty of this mermaid!

If they had to describe it, they could only say: It would be worth it to be chopped into pieces for sleeping with such a mermaid!

They really wanted to see the lower half of the Mermaid's body. Legend has it that the lower half of the Mermaid's body was made of a fish's tail, but they just didn't know if the tail would destroy the beauty that the Mermaid gave out.

Both Lou and Lou wanted to see if the mermaid had a tail, but just when they were hoping that the mermaid would jump out of the water and invite them to visit the underwater crystal palace, she quickly sank back into the water.

When she appeared again, it had already changed.

He became a man.

Mermaid, who was like a fairy in the sky, was the favorite of the both of them, but they were not interested in same-sex beauties or mermaids. Especially when this guy held a black spike with three sides, it gave people a cold feeling.

"Run, run!"

After seeing that the mermaid had suddenly turned into a male fish, Old Lou and Old Wang were worried that this fish would drag them to the Crystal Palace to become the 'royal concubine'. Although they had had enough of the yellow-faced old woman at home, their sexual orientation was still normal.

Never!

An unprecedented danger caused Ju and Hua to suddenly tense up. They turned around at the same time and ran desperately towards the shore, hugging their heads as they ran. One of the rabbits ran along the way and kicked Old Lou away, "Get out of the way, don't block the way!"

In the blink of an eye, Old Lou and Old Wang, who were both in their late twenties, displayed the running speed that would cause a sprinter general like Lewis to be at a disadvantage, and quickly ran onto the road, flapping their horses in the direction of Lou Cheng Village.

With a splash, Gao Fei jumped out of the water. He opened his mouth and took a deep breath before diving into the water. He grabbed Liao Shuifen's hair and pulled her up.

Liao Shuifen's water quality was also quite good, and her physical fitness was also good. However, she couldn't withstand the pressure of a hundred meters, especially when the temperature was below one hundred meters.

In this situation, cramping was the most normal thing. It was nothing compared to the lack of oxygen in his brain and the fact that his body was almost completely frozen.

Fortunately, Gao Fei continued to be vigorous and energetic as he floated upwards. It was with his help that Liao Shuifen managed to barely float to the surface of the water. The moment she opened her mouth to breathe, she almost fainted due to happiness before sinking again.

Gao Fei pulled Liao Shuifen out of the water again with his mouth wide open like a fish out of water. He gasped heavily for her breath and helped her remove the hook from her hair.

After grabbing onto a small tree on the shore, Gao Fei let out a long sigh of relief: He finally escaped safely!

Who would have thought that at the end of the passage there would be an underground river?

The flow of the underground river was not fast at all, it was related to the special limestone and spring waters around Jinnan, and the temperature of the water was very suitable as well, it was even a little hot — it was the vein of a hot spring, it felt really good when people were soaking in it, the cool Liao Shuifen really wanted to lie in the water and have a good night's sleep.

However, when they were swimming forward along the comfortable hot spring, they were suddenly caught by the whirlpool hidden under the water. When they finally struggled out of the whirlpool, they had already arrived at another world.

It was an ice-cold world. It was pitch black, and there were a lot of unknown aquatic creatures that were emitting a glow. They were moving slowly with the whirlpool that was formed by nature.

It no longer mattered where they were.

The most important thing was to get out of there, or else Liao Shuifen would die from the cold.

Finally, Gao Fei saw the light above before Liao Shuifen was completely frozen.

It was water.

Gao Fei used his strength and pushed Liao Shuifen up.

When he stopped his sinking body and tried to swim back up, he saw two people on the shore. They were screaming miserably as they ran away, scaring about five rabbits.

We're finally back!

After seeing the fishing rod, the horse and the bucket filled with fish, even though the setting sun was so glaring that Gao Fei felt like diving into the water again, he couldn't help but look up at the sky and shout, "Ah!"

Old Lou and Old Wang, who were running wildly, heard the demonic roar coming from the other side of the bottomless lake behind them. They shouted in unison. Their miserable shrieks and the frequency of their legs moving increased as they scrambled towards the village.1

"Sh, Lord Third, what's going on?"

A Passat stopped at the side of the road. The village's most promising kid, Cheng Dong, who had graduated from a famous university and was currently the boss of a company in the city, was startled to see his family's three lords and Old Lou desperately running down the road. He quickly stopped the car in front of them.

"Dongzi, Dongzi, quick, run!"

The two of them agilely opened the car door and jumped in, shouting hysterically, "There's a demon surfacing from the Boundless Lake and the Boundless Lake!"

Cheng Dong knew that the two of them often went there to fish, but he had never heard of any monsters there.

Seeing that Cheng Dong still had a look of disbelief on his face, Cheng Lao San lowered his head and fiercely crashed into the backrest, hissing, "Dongzi, just listen to your third elder! Hurry back to the village and call for reinforcements, tell them that a water demon that can kill men and kill women has appeared at the Boundless Lake! "

When he saw that the third master had used a self-mutilation method to prove his words, Old Lou was so pale that he almost fainted. Only then did Cheng Dong realize the seriousness of the situation and he sped up.

At the bottom of the Abyssal Lake, a water monster suddenly appeared!

The news swept through Lou Cheng's village as fast as he could as he stamped his feet and swore with his feet.
