In the living room, everyone gathered together.

On the coffee table, there was a piece of paper, and Jiang Si was holding a pen, scribbling and drawing.

"The place in my dream must actually exist. I guess it's a reservoir because I saw that the opposite shore of the lake was mostly mountains, and the water was very calm."

"To get to the lake, you have to walk through a patch of very tall wild grass, almost as tall as me."

Everyone listened while keeping their eyes fixed on the painting in Jiang Si's hand.

"..."

Well, Heaven is fair. It gave Jiang Si a wealth of cultivation talent, but unfortunately, it reduced her painting skills to just being able to draw talismans.

This painting is far too abstract and avant-garde.

The lake is a circle, the mountain is a bunch of curves, and the grass is a "person" upside down with two strokes added on top.

Guan Qingchen decided not to look at the painting anymore, as it didn't provide any information.

"If we're talking about reservoirs alone, there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, in my country. We can only start by looking for the nearest ones and work our way out."

Li Jianshan stared at the abstract painting, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.

Is this Qingtang Reservoir?

When Li Jianshan mentioned it, Guan Qingchen also remembered, "Yes, Qingtang Reservoir."

"However..." Li Jianshan and Guan Qingchen both looked rather grim.

"What's wrong with this reservoir?" She Zhang asked anxiously.

Only Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan were locals. They exchanged a glance, looking troubled: "This reservoir has some legends about it."

Once the legend is mentioned, everyone understands.

Qingtang Reservoir was formed a long time ago, probably sixty or seventy years ago. It is far from the city center. Back then, everyone was encouraged to work together to dig it, which solved the drinking water problem for everyone.

In the 1990s, a group of young men and women went swimming in a reservoir. Despite being excellent swimmers, they all drowned.

Later, people began to die mysteriously in the reservoir, and Qingtang Reservoir became shrouded in mystery and gloom. Apart from those who were looking for thrills, almost no one would go there.

Therefore, the environment there is quite nice.

Jiang Si scoffed: "What's there to be afraid of in a few water ghosts?"

Li Jianshan opened a map on his phone and showed it to Jiang Si. Jiang Si wasn't good at drawing, but she was good at recognizing maps and immediately recognized that this place was that godforsaken place.

The next morning, the group got ready and left.

The place was far from the city center, so Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan took turns driving.

They can't very well call a driver for something like this.

Midway through the journey, Zhao Huaishu transformed into a bat and followed us. He hung upside down on the car window and spoke in human language: "Are you going to some fun place together? Why didn't you call me?"

Zhao Huaishu has been living like a god these past few days. Aside from being a country bumpkin at the beginning, he has now completely adapted to modern life. He exchanged the gold for money and bought a luxury house nearby. He appears and disappears mysteriously every day, and no one knows where he is gallivanting around.

Li Jianshan moved his head away a little, "We're all men, let's not get so close."

Zhao Huaishu scoffed and ignored him.

There were no seats left in the car, he

Jiang Si smiled slightly, "Your timing is quite perfect."

As for the lake, they do have options, but nothing is as convenient as a bat. After all, a flying bat is extremely common, but a flying rat or snake might not be noticed by the authorities.

It's definitely more convenient than a drone, at the very least.

The closer you get, the less path there is.

Because of the recent lack of people, the weeds have grown even more wildly, and the places that were originally roads have also been taken over by weeds.

Left with no other choice, they had to get off the bus and walk.

Zhao Huaishu originally wanted to transform into human form and walk, but seeing the situation, he decisively chose to fly.

I don't want to squeeze in.

Besides him, there was also Qi Yan.

Qi Yan leaned directly on Jiang Si's shoulder.

Fortunately, after practicing cultivation, their physical condition was quite good, and walking some distance was no problem for them.

Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan walked ahead, clearing away the weeds. By the time they reached the lake, it was already quite a long way.

The lake is very wide and calm.

The weather is great today, with blue skies and white clouds. The green mountains opposite are reflected on the lake, making it a truly refreshing sight. At first glance, you really can't tell that there's anything wrong with the lake.

But this is definitely an illusion.

Li Jianshan looked at Jiang Si's expression and asked, "Master, is this it?"

Jiang Si nodded.

This is the scene from her dream.

"Did you notice anything amiss?" Guan Qingchen asked.

There's definitely something wrong, but they don't know what's wrong with it.

Han Yunluo said, "It's not right that there are water ghosts in the lake."

Water ghosts become water ghosts because of their own resentment. Only when the resentment is eliminated can they be reincarnated.

Either someone performs a ritual for them, or they figure it out on their own.

"..."

Through various forms of training, Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan have become immune to ghosts and demons.

“Ordinary water ghosts don’t have this ability, do they?” Li Jianshan asked.

Jiang Si handed Zhao Huaishu a mirror, saying, "Could you please fly to the center of the lake and show me your reflection?"

This mirror is the Mirror of Worldly Fate. It can transmit the images that Zhao Huaishu sees to them in real time, which is very convenient.

Zhao Huaishu didn't refuse, and flew towards the lake with the mirror in his mouth.

They also saw the view in the lake.

They saw clear reflections on the lakeshore, but when they got directly above the lake, it was pitch black.

It was so dark it had an ominous feel to it.

"how so?"

Guan Qingchen was somewhat incredulous.

He looked at the still clear lake surface, where the green mountains, blue sky, and white clouds were clearly visible. Why did it look like this when viewed from above the lake?

"Where exactly is the real scene?" Li Jianshan murmured.

Jiang Si dripped a drop of blood from her palm, which landed on the scene.

This drop of blood was like sodium mixed into water; the lake immediately boiled, and they could even see white smoke rising from it.

Bubbles were rising from the lake, as if something was about to come up.

Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan stared at each other nervously.

Just then, Zhao Huaishu, who was flying overhead, exclaimed, "Holy crap! There's a monster in this lake!"

Zhao Huaishu's defenses were high, and he was usually impossible to kill. At this moment, he was even a little excited and started a live voice broadcast:

"Whoosh, it looks like it's about to come out!"

"They're out! They're out!"

As he spoke, something as thick as a small hill climbed up.

Once it surfaced, everyone could see its appearance clearly.

"..."

Are you sure this is a monster?

"You could call it a monster, since I've never seen one this big before."

"Of course you have! Haven't you ever seen a sea turtle?"

"But this isn't the sea."

"Stop arguing." Jiang Si interrupted Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan.

The two obediently shut up.

"Master, what kind of turtle is this?" Li Jianshan asked quietly.

His voice was actually very soft, and then the turtle, whose species was unknown, spat out a mouthful of water and spoke in a human voice: "You're the turtle, your whole family are turtles!"
