Not to mention that if you dive in vain, you will have to worry about being seen. It would be better to dive at night.

As soon as he entered the water, Yang Jing turned on the switch of the diving light. Two bright rays of light immediately shone out from the top of his head and left shoulder, illuminating the dark underwater area.

Yang Jing had several lead blocks tied to his body to speed up his dive. Because of the energy protection, Yang Jing did not have to worry about the onset of decompression sickness. Under the protection of energy, the pressure of several hundred meters deep had almost no effect on Yang Jing.

Yang Jing activated the feedback skill, and then his body quickly descended under the action of the lead block. The depth gauge on his wrist could also display the current depth in time.

Yang Jing had been here before the reservoir was filled with water, so he was very familiar with the topography of this place, and he also knew that the depth here was actually very terrifying. Walking inward from the protruding boulder for a maximum of fifty meters, the depth would drop to more than one hundred meters.

In the area more than 20 meters underwater, Yang Jing could still see one or two or a group of swimming fish from time to time, but when the depth exceeded 50 meters, the fish in the water were rare. When Yang Jing landed near the bottom of the lake in about four minutes, except for the Songjia Village that had been submerged for more than 20 years, he could basically not see any swimming fish.

All the buildings in Songjia Village are more than 100 meters below the water surface. Within the range of the diving light, these houses are silent, as if they are telling something silently.

The walls and roofs of many houses were covered with water plants. The water flow caused by Yang Jing's swimming made the water plants sway slightly. At first glance, they looked like the long hair of a female ghost.

Diving alone into such a silent underwater environment, a person with little courage would be extremely scared. Yang Jing boasted that he was not very courageous, but in this environment, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

It's not scary to be scared by ghosts, the scariest thing is actually to scare yourself. After all, Yang Jing had never experienced such a scene before, so even though he was very brave, he couldn't help but have some random thoughts in this environment.

After slowly swimming past Songjia Village, the Daimei Temple at the west end of the village appeared in the Healing Light Zheng

Even after more than 20 years, this Taoist temple has not changed much and still looks the same. Like the houses in Songjia Village, it stands quietly in the water, as if watching the vicissitudes of life in the world with cold eyes.

The appearance of the Taoist temple made Yang Jing involuntarily speed up his kicking speed. Soon, he swam over the temple's wall and into the Taoist temple.

After accurately identifying the west wing on the west side, Yang Jing plunged into the gap between the west wing and the rock wall. The broken stele base soon appeared in front of Zheng Heguang.

After swimming towards the light, Yang Jing discovered that basically no changes had occurred here. Except for a lot of aquatic plants sprouting in many places, the base of the stele and the sunken niche remained the same as they had been for more than 20 years.

After standing firmly underwater, Yang Jing did not feel anything wrong. Then he began to prepare to deal with the base of the stele and open the mechanism under the base.

Yang Jing estimated that if the stele on the base still existed, it would be the key to unlocking the mechanism. But now the stele had been smashed to pieces, so Yang Jing could only helplessly work on the base.

Pushing horizontally and pulling vertically, the base did not move at all; Yang Jing tried to rotate the base again, and almost pooped himself, but the base still did not move at all.

This situation made Yang Jing a little confused. If it weren't for his perspective skill telling him that there was a mechanical hub under this broken pedestal, Yang Jing would have thought he was mistaken.

In desperation, Yang Jing tried to lift the base. The base was not connected to the rock below, so Yang Jing dug the soil next to the base with his hands, and after making a mess of the surrounding water, he barely dug out a gap.

With his fingers clasping the gap, Yang Jing exerted force from his waist. Sure enough, the broken base began to shake. Moreover, his perspective skill, which had been activated all the time, also allowed him to clearly see that the mechanism under the base began to shake.

As the mechanism swayed, the fine sand inside the mechanism, which had long been filled with water, began to slowly pour down, and at the same time, a dull "click" sound was heard. About five or six minutes later, when all the fine sand in the mechanism had leaked out, the niche opposite suddenly made a "click" sound, and then the rock wall in the niche began to slowly fall down.
