chapter160The trip to the lake had a moment, and Su Ziyi wanted to jump into the lake to investigate.But his sanity stopped him.Because this red line looks too dangerous.But he was very unwilling to let him leave like this.He stepped on the trunk of the tree again, and after hesitating for a moment, he took a branch from his hand and threw it directly into the lake, and as soon as the branch touched the surface of the water, it sank directly, without becoming shriveled or other abnormal, and fell directly through the layers of red lines to the bottom of the lake, until it was no longer visible to the naked eye.Is it unresponsive to plants?
Su Ziyi was suspicious in his heart, and after muttering for a while, he took out a rabbit corpse from the storage bag, which he had beaten casually on the way here, so the flesh and blood were quite fresh.As soon as he threw his hand, the rabbit fell directly into the water, and the blood that had not dried up overflowed directly from the wound and floated into the lake.It's just that to Su Ziyi's surprise, this time in the face of fresh blood, the red line was indifferent!
As if they didn't have the blood of rabbits, they let the rabbit's carcass fall to the bottom of the lake, allowing the blood and gas floating in the water to be freely diluted until they were invisible, so that they received almost the same treatment as the previous branches.This time, Su Ziyi had some eyebrows in his heart.He dug out a piece of demon beast meat that still had blood in the storage bag, and threw it directly into the water without regret.This time, the red thread finally moved, and like hungry men who had not eaten enough, as soon as the piece of meat fell into the water, they separated several red threads and wrapped them, wrapping the piece of flesh the size of a man's head into a ball of red thread.Su Ziyi couldn't see what was going on in the red line, only that when all the red lines were scattered and returned to their original positions, the piece of meat seemed to have been washed with water countless times and blanched with hot water, and it was extremely clean.With an eyebrow, Su Ziyi finally determined what the food selection criteria for this red line were.This made him breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but at the same time, a question appeared in his heart: since the demon beast meat rich in spiritual energy is what it likes, what about the spirit grass?
Or, what about the flesh and blood of cultivators?
As soon as these two thoughts appeared in my mind, I could not suppress it.Su Ziyi jumped directly from the tree and walked towards the lake step by step.When his feet stepped on the land by the lake, nothing strange happened, and the ground under his feet was as solid as before, if he hadn't seen everything that happened by the lake clearly, he would have thought that this place had always been like this.Squatting by the lake, he could touch the surface of the lake with his hand stretched out, but Su Ziyi could not be so reckless after all.He took out a loose moon grass, tore off the hem of his clothes, and tore it into thin strips, and then tied them one by one into a long strip of cloth, and then tied them firmly before throwing them into the lake.This time, the performance of the red line was not so frustrating, and it was almost when the cloth rope in Su Ziyi's hand was to the end, he was extremely stingy to divide a few red threads and attach them to the Scattered Moon Grass.But when Su Ziyi deliberately lifted the Scattered Moon Grass up, they immediately let go and retreated down, as if it was not uncommon.It seems that the spirit grass is not as attractive to them as the flesh and blood of the demon beasts.Got the Scattered Moon Grass on the red line again, and waited until the red line let go of itself before Su Ziyi pulled the Loose Moon Grass up.On the ground, the Scattered Moon Grass looked undamaged, but Su Ziyi knew that it was missing something.He flicked with the branches, and found that the layer of faint silver-white powder floating on the veins in the middle of the leaves of the Loose Moon Grass had completely disappeared, and the tips of the leaves that were originally hooked like the Silver Moon were even more dazzling, and if no one pointed it out, no one would believe that it was the Loose Moon Grass.Su Ziyi understood that this was because the red line had drained the aura from its body.Now, it has completely lost the characteristics of the spirit grass, and has become like an ordinary mortal grass.Therefore, these red threads not only devour the blood qi, but also absorb the spiritual energy.For a while, Su Ziyi's heart tumbled.He looked at his empty right hand, hesitated for a moment, and then thrust his hand into the water at an extremely slow speed, and his two eyes were even more staring at the red line in the water, for fear that the other party would be entangled in the next second.Only this time, the red line was the same as the first two times, there was no movement, and there was no intention of attacking.This time, Su Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief.He half-bent over, and thrust his hand deeper into the water, letting the soft water pass between his fingers, and his eyes flashed with deep thought.Suddenly, he forced his spiritual power into the palm of his hand, and condensed a small spiritual energy dagger in his palm, and at the moment when the spiritual energy dagger appeared, the originally quiet red line suddenly became like crazy, and it rushed towards Su Ziyi's side, so shocked that Su Ziyi's breath immediately stagnated, and the spiritual energy dagger in his hand dissipated into nothing.At the moment when the aura dagger disappeared, the red thread that had been growing frantically just now immediately froze there as if it had been dragged from below, and then retreated backwards at a slow speed in the next moment, returning to its original position.With a deep exhalation, Su Ziyi loosened the tense strings in his head, and at the same time took his hand back.Now he can be fully sure that this red thread only reacts to blood and aura, and the more vigorous the blood or aura, the more tyrannical the breath will attract them, if it is the kind of small and gentle existence, it is just a tasteless and regrettable existence for them.Perhaps, he could go down and take a look.Standing on the edge of the lake, all kinds of emotions kept rolling in Su Ziyi's eyes, and he couldn't make up his mind.It's just that when he sees the red line in the water getting more and more blurred, he knows that if he hesitates, he may miss the last opportunity.So he immediately cut off all the anxiety in his heart, took off his shoes, socks and robe, walked to the lake with a solemn face, and jumped.With the previous experiment, Su Ziyi didn't dare to use any spiritual power at all, so he could only hold his breath and dive into the water, his ears were full of the sound of gurgling water and the restless sound caused by the swimming of unknown microorganisms.Squinting his eyes and looking down, Su Ziyi realized that the place where the red line was located was deeper than what he saw.Is it Sanzhang?
Or Wuzhang?
In the potential water, Su Ziyi didn't know how deep he was swimming, he only knew that those red lines were getting clearer and clearer.When they reached for it, Su Ziyi found that on the shore, the red line that looked like only a hair's thin was as thick as a thumb, and the red and red were densely spread all over the lake, which looked terrifying.And if you look closely, you will find that these thin red lines are not simply red, but seem to be caused by something red flowing inside.Such a discovery made Su Ziyi more and more frightened, and turned his head to look at the end of all the red lines - the stone seat.Like the red line, the stone seat is much bigger than it looks, and he doesn't know if Su Ziyi is wrong, he always feels that there are some small things shining on the surface of the stone seat, which arouses his curiosity.He changed his breath upstream, then swam towards the center of the lake, and when he was very close to the stone seat, he dived again.It's just that this time the dive ran into obstacles.Su Ziyi didn't know what kind of magical power this was, in short, when he dived less than a foot from the nearest position, he was blocked by a mysterious force and couldn't take a step forward.This made him realize that there was something wrong with the stone seat, so he hurriedly stepped back, slowly groping for the nearest boundary that the stone seat could get close to, and then downstream.When he finally found the allowable range of the stone seat, the oxygen in his lungs was once again depleted, and he had to dive up again to breathe, but when he was out of the water and desperately breathing, he was thinking about the scene he had just seen.Before, he saw some shiny little things on the stone seat, and he was really right!
And the flickering of those little things is not without rules, but follows the pattern carved on the stone pedestal.Those patterns are so complex and subtle that people only think that they contain infinite truths at first glance, but they can't understand one or two of them even if they want to break their heads.Su Ziyi was also attracted by it, but he always felt a little familiar when he watched it, and this familiarity made him more and more involved the more he looked at it, until he couldn't breathe and almost choked on water, which made him wake up.And now that it is out of the water, oxygen and reason have returned, and it has also activated Su Ziyi's memory.At that time, he only looked at it from a distance, and felt a little strange, but now that he got closer, he was really shocked by the true meaning contained in it.If he guessed correctly, these patterns should be formation engravings!
Su Ziyi didn't know much about the formation, and he had only read one or two from books, so he knew a little bit of common sense.But even so, Su Ziyi dared to pat his chest and say for sure that the formation engraving on the stone seat was definitely not ordinary!
Immediately, he was overjoyed, and after taking a deep breath, he dived into the water again.This time, he stayed in the water for a longer time, and his mind became more and more immersed in the formation carving on the stone seat, although he couldn't understand it, but the lines always gave him a wonderful feeling in his mind, and he couldn't grasp it.After going up and down four or five times, Su Ziyi knew that even if he spent the rest of his life on it, he might not be able to comprehend one or two, so he directly engraved the lines he had remembered in his heart, and waited until he had the opportunity to solve the enlightenment in the future.By this time, the red line at the bottom of the water had shrunk by a long distance.When he saw them floating in the water like aquatic plants, Su Ziyi knew that he had to leave, otherwise he was not sure if he would be safe when the red lines that only recognized food came over.So he immediately turned around and swam towards the lake.As soon as he came ashore, Su Ziyi shivered, and it was only at this time that he found that the water in the lake was really a little cold.After changing out of the wet clothes on his body, Su Ziyi planned to settle lunch by the lake, and by the way, he observed the situation of those red lines and stone seats.After he left the water, he noticeably noticed that the speed of the Red Line's retreat had become faster, and at their current speed, he was afraid that he would be able to completely return to the stone seat and disappear from the water before he descended the mountain.It was also at this time that Su Ziyi remembered that he didn't seem to see any animals or monsters coming to the lake this morning?
Was it because there were other secrets hidden on the stone pedestal that he didn't know?
Because of the changes brought about by the stone seat, Su Ziyi already had a lot of questions in his mind, but unfortunately no one could help him answer them, so he could only sit there alone and think about it.He sat down straight to dusk.At this time, all the red threads disappeared, as if absorbed by the stone seat.And when they disappeared completely, it happened to be the moment when the last sunset in the west went down the mountain, and in an instant, with the lake as the center, the entire surrounding area shook like an earthquake, and it also woke up Su Ziyi, who was thinking about the problem.The shaking wasn't very violent, and it didn't feel like anything after a few miles.But Su Ziyi, who was sitting by the lake, felt very strong, and what shocked him even more was that the stone seat in the center of the lake actually retreated a little bit!
It's as if there's a crater at the bottom of the lake that can hold it!
At this time, the lake water was no longer as clear and visible as before, and it was almost only half a cup of tea, and Su Ziyi went from being able to see the outline of the top surface of the stone seat to the point where he couldn't see anything.However, the shaking still existed, which let Su Ziyi know that the sinking of the stone seat was still continuing at this time, and he didn't know where it was going to sink.By the time everything was calm, the moon had already risen, but Su Ziyi was still sitting by the lake, motionless.On the second day, when the sun completely jumped out of the mountain, Su Ziyi experimented one by one as he did yesterday, only this time he tied everything tightly with the strips of cloth he removed yesterday, and waited until the strips of cloth in his hand fell to the bottom before dragging them back.But unlike yesterday, no matter what he puts down today, it will be what he will go down and what he will come back to, and there will be no change at all.And this time, no matter how terrifying the aura dagger in his hand was, nothing came close to it when it was placed in the water.Does this mean that the strange red line and the stone seat are really completely gone?
With a certain amount of doubt in his heart, Su Ziyi went into the water again.This time he dived to a very deep place, and did not find any traces of the red thread or the stone seat, and then he could not breathe, and when he took a pill, nothing came out to make trouble, as if there was nothing else in the whole lake except for him and the aquatic plants that fluttered with the water.It made him feel unbelievable.He swam to the center of the lake, and this time without any hindrance, he swam directly from the top of the center of the lake to the bottom of the lake.At the bottom of the lake, he finally found a trace of the existence of the stone seat, that is, only the place where the stone seat once stood was empty, and beyond that, patches of aquatic plants were swaying their bodies wantonly.Therefore, the stone seat really sank below the mud at the bottom of the lake.It's amazing!
