Shu Manhua, who was caught in scattered memories, was a little dazed, and Ao Qin saw it and knew what the other party was thinking.

Although he can't empathize with Shu Manhua, he still understands it in general. After all, it is a place where he has lived for thousands of years. If he leaves in that way and returns after such a long time, there will always be some changes in his feeling.Of course, this little time in the mortal world is not a moment for the cultivation world. Perhaps the most sensational event in the cultivation world is the fall of the first demon cultivator.When they return to the realm of comprehension, perhaps they can hear those monks talking about this matter everywhere.

It is absolutely uncomfortable to listen to others talking about your own death even though you are still alive.

At dawn the next day, Shu Manhua and Ao Qin started on the road again, and finally arrived at Wuhu Lake around noon.

As described by the people on this island, there is a thick layer of fog on the surface of the lake, not to mention far away, you should not be able to see it at a distance of about twenty meters.The shore of the lake is vast, and the dense fog makes it impossible to see the edge, which makes people feel that the lake is very big, and it is easy to get lost in it.

Shu Manhua released his consciousness to sense it, and it took a long time for his consciousness to return. It can be seen that the actual scope of the lake is indeed not small. Even if there is no dense fog at this distance, you can only vaguely see the distant mountains.With such a large lake and dense fog, it’s no wonder it’s not dangerous

Just like what the peddler said before, there are people who risk their lives for money these days. There are really such three-leaf boats by the lake, and while they are standing and staring, someone has already boarded them.Two men and one woman boarded one of the flat boats.Because the boat is too small, it is already the limit to accommodate three people, and now there are only two leaves left.

The two walked up to one of them, and Shu Manhua said to the middle-aged man sitting on it with a pipe in his mouth: "Boatman, we want to swim.

lake. "

The boatman lifted up his bamboo hat and took a look. Seeing that the two were dressed in extraordinary clothes, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "No problem! I, Wang Laowu, is well-known in this area, and I can't say anything about the skill of steering a boat! We are counting people on the head. The fee is 15 taels for one person, and 30 taels for two people!"

Shuman smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Huo! Boatman, you really dare to open your mouth! Traveling on the lake elsewhere costs only a dozen or twenty renminbi, but you are paying 15 taels for this one, and it is calculated on the basis of the head. This asking price is too harsh. gone."

The boatman smiled, and knocked on the edge of the boat with the cigarette stick upside down, "You will say that it is elsewhere, right? This is the price for us. I don't want to hide it from you, the lake is dangerous and foggy Strong, easy to get in and hard to get out, I think you two should have heard about it. So every time we do this job, it is the last time to do it. If it is not because the family really needs money, no one will come Do this job of putting your head on the waist of your trousers. The boatmen on this shore are basically not fixed. Those who have a life to make money and spend their lives will not do it once. Only those whose family conditions are hard to survive will come Do this kind of business. But now people who come to the island will ask about the situation first, knowing that Wuhu Lake is dangerous, most people are unwilling to try it, and our business is getting harder and harder, but we have to support our families, so we just The remuneration can be increased. According to the current situation, we can’t attract guests twice a year. We haven’t even set off a boat this year. Today is a coincidence. We have met so many people who want to swim in the lake, so we finally opened our business. .”

Shu Manhua pursed his lips and smiled, "Then it means not opening for a year, but opening for a year!"

"Almost, saving some food for another two years is enough. First have money to let the family relax, and then find other jobs to make a living in the past two years. As long as they are not desperate, no one really wants to solicit customers on Wuhu Lake." The boatman was very talkative, perhaps because he looked at Shu Manhua with a kind face and said everything without any scruples.

"The boatman, have you ever been to Wuhu Lake before?"

"Yes," the boatman nodded, his smile faded, and he waved his hand nonchalantly, "Hi! It's all about Chen barley and rotten millet, so don't mention it! Are you going or not?"

"Go, of course." Shu Manhua walked in front, stepping into the boat from the shore, still swaying.Ao Qin supported him from behind, for fear that he would lose his footing and fall.

The boatman untied the rope tied to the shore, erected a long pole into the water, and the boat slowly rowed away from the shore.

There is a small dock on the ship, although it is not exquisite, it is very clean.But Shu Manhua just glanced at it, and stood at the bow of the boat with Ao Qin, not intending to sit in.After a while, Shu Manhua turned back and found that the shore was indeed gone, but in fact they should have rowed not far away.

The lake was very calm, but because of the heavy fog that restricted vision, Shu Manhua couldn't see anything except the people and boats around him, and everything he could see was a vast expanse of whiteness.

And so far he hasn't felt any fluctuations belonging to the teleportation array.

"Pavilion Master, do you feel any special fluctuations in spiritual power?"

Ao Qin shook his head, "No."

Shu Manhua didn't speak anymore, Ao Qin was already at the Golden Core stage, if he didn't feel it, it meant that the teleportation array wasn't around yet.Will it be somewhere near the center of the lake?According to the law of the natural teleportation array, in this environment, the teleportation array is either in the cave or at the bottom of the lake.

This lake is too big, if it is really on the rock wall by the lake, then based on the distance roughly determined by my previous spiritual power detection, I can't get there even if I row all day, and the boatman will not agree.It was agreed before that I would swim the lake for an hour, and I would go back after an hour.But for an hour, it is estimated that they will not reach the center of the lake.

Shu Manhua turned to look at the boatman and said, "Let's add another hour, so you can row as far as possible."

The boatman waved his hand and refused with a full face, "That won't work, one hour is the limit, no matter how far you go, you won't be able to come back after you go! I'm not sure about that!"

Shu Manhua smiled, "Don't you say that you are the best in charge of the boat in this area? It doesn't matter if you go forward for an hour. In this way, as long as you can go for an extra hour, we will give you an extra 200 yuan. Two, after this trip, as long as you don’t live too extravagantly, you won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.”

When he heard that he would add another 200 taels, the boatman was really shaken.

As he said, if it weren't for the desperate situation, no one would want to do such a thing that might put their lives on the line.He can't help it. Both parents are sick in bed. His wife broke her leg years ago and she still can't get off the ground. Four sons and two young ones are still in private school. The wages were not paid, and the eldest brother wanted to marry a wife, and the girl's family asked for a dowry gift of 20 taels of silver, so he really had no choice.

According to estimates, I will have to work for another two or three years before I can survey enough, but who knows when something will go wrong?Every time I leave the boat, I go around the gate of the Palace of the King of Hell, and if I fail to make it all right, I will be dragged in by the little devil with a stretch of my arm!There is only one dead end for his family!Today, if this business is completed, he can get 230 taels in the account. He really doesn't have to worry about it for the rest of his life. Even the children will be able to get married in the future.

The life of hardship and despair made the boatman grit his teeth and agreed to Shu Manhua's proposal. Isn't it just an extra hour!He has always been tough, it is not so easy to die inside!And once you've done this trip, you won't have to do it again.

Shu Manhua seemed to know that the boat owner would not refuse, he naturally approached Ao Qin's arms, and looked at the front happily.

"It's foggy, and I can't see what the lake looks like. It's like a fairyland, but I don't feel it, but it's chilly."

Ao Qin held Shu Manhua's waist with one hand, and swept the other hand horizontally. Following the wide sleeves drawing a sharp arc in the air, most of the fog in front of him seemed to be driven away by something.

The boatman looked shocked for a while!What happened just now?The man in the black fancy dress who had been silent for a while just waved his sleeves to make the thick fog clear. Is this a sorcery?

No, if these two were monsters, wouldn't they have eaten themselves long ago?

It is rumored that there are immortals in Wuhu Lake. Could it be that these two are the immortals living in Wuhu Lake?But if this is the case, why do you need to row a boat to take them to the lake?Or do the immortals want to experience it as mortals?Immortals are all long-lived, so it should be normal to want to have some fun after living for so long, right?

The more he thought about this possibility, the boatman thought that he had talked to the gods, and he didn't know whether it was fear or excitement. Anyway, the oar in his hand almost made him throw it into the water.After finally grasping it firmly, he continued to paddle tremblingly.Since he is an immortal, he should be able to go back safely this time, right?The boatman thought so.

Because the dense fog was dispelled, the field of vision in front of him was much wider, and he even vaguely saw the appearance of the distant mountains. There was still white mist rising from the mountains, matching the pristine blue sky and calm lake water, Shu Manhua finally felt so much. A little bit of the so-called "Wonderland"

"a feeling of.

After more than an hour, Ao Qin, who had been expressionless all the time, frowned suddenly, with a heavy look in his eyes, "Spiritual power fluctuations

"

"Really?" Shu Manhua was already sitting on the boat bored, but when he heard Ao Qin's words, he stood up suddenly, and the boat swayed left and right for a long time because of his actions before it stabilized.

Ao Qin nodded, "It is estimated that within half an hour we can reach the center of spiritual power fluctuations."

Shu Manhua glanced at the distance, and it was still a lake covered in white mist, with occasional shallow waves sweeping over.The edges of the waves are polished very rounded.

From this point of view, the teleportation array is really at the bottom of the lake.

Shu Manhua took out two elixirs from the storage bag. These are the water-avoiding elixirs he refined yesterday. Although the level is only second-level, they can guarantee that they can speak freely in the water for four hours. action.

"It's only four hours. If we don't find the teleportation array within two hours, we have to come back first." Shu Manhua told Ao Qin seriously. He knew that Ao Qin had good water quality, but the lake was very deep at first glance, so it wasn't troublesome. Just for fun.

"Can't you add another one halfway?"

"...This is just an ordinary second-level elixir, and it doesn't have the effect of a high-level elixir."

Ao Qin didn't speak, just smiled and rubbed Shu Manhua's earlobe again.
