On the lake shore.

Xia Chan was eating a sesame seed cake when he turned around and found that Sang Que had disappeared out of thin air. Xia Chan was so frightened that he dropped the sesame seed cake on the ground.

Wan Biao did the same. He withdrew his gaze from the lake and turned around to find that Sang Que was missing. He was about to ask Xia Chan, but Xia Chan suddenly picked up Xuan Yu, who was squatting next to him, and ran away quickly.

"Miss Chan, where are you going?"

Xia Chan didn't answer either. Wan Biao was confused. After a while, he heard the sound of a donkey cart running wildly. He watched the black donkey pulling Xia Chan and Xuan Yu out of the village without anyone shouting, leaving behind a cloud of flying dust.

Wan Biao blinked blankly, not knowing what had happened. He suddenly felt a chill from the midday sun, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

* Lake bottom.

Qin Ze waved to Xu Sanzhao behind him, and swam to the lower left first. After swimming about fifty meters, a fault appeared at the bottom of the lake. Qin Ze saw the old and dilapidated buildings under the fault at a glance. They were surrounded by stone walls. It was not a house, but a village.

The Witch Temple originally enshrined the Witch Goddess, who possessed certain ghostly and divine powers. After it was abolished, the Witch Goddess's divine power could no longer be felt in the real world, but in the hidden world, the Witch Temple was still shrouded in the Witch Goddess's divine power and remained the same.

However, their speed was far slower than the speed of the insects swarming up, and in the blink of an eye their feet were entangled and they were dragged down with force.

Combining the modern concept of the other world, Sang Que guessed that the hidden world was a space between the Nine Netherworlds and the real world.

Qin Ze hurriedly pulled Xu San away from the statue and swung his dagger at the filamentous insects that were gushing out.

The stone statue actually looked like Zhao Qi, kneeling on the ground with an expression of extreme fear on his face.

I really shouldn't have been so stubborn as to go down to the lake.

In addition to the stone statues, there are also some plates, boxes and cages, as well as cattle and sheep skeletons half-buried in the sand and gravel at the bottom of the lake. It can be seen that the villagers used to offer sacrifices to the fish wife by sinking them into the lake.

After seeing clearly, Qin Ze and Xu San felt their scalps tingling and chills running down their bodies.

Qin Ze swung his feet closer, parted the water plants and found a stone man inside. He was biting the Tokugawa Stone dagger and looking around. The red water plants on his body seemed to sense something and floated towards the lower left.

All this made Qin Ze feel extremely horrified.

Qin Ze's mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't figure out why Zhao Qi was here and when he came here.

The surrounding stone statues cracked one after another, and a large number of thread-like worms poured out from the human brain under the stone statues. Qin Ze pulled Xu San and swam upwards with all his might.

Outside the courtyard were jagged rocks, dead grass and bones all over the ground, and many turtles with their heads chopped off. On the turtles' backs there were still lines of many human faces squeezed together, and the broken turtle heads were still opening and closing as if they were telling something.

After Qin Ze entered the water, the red water plants all over his body suddenly became active, swaying from his collar and cuffs.

*Hidden world.

Qin Ze turned around and gestured to ask Xu San if he could still hold on. Xu San nodded, took off the Japanese traveler mask hanging on his waist and put it on. The mask could enhance his abilities in all aspects.

The man's eyes were still open, and his eyeballs were moving left and right in fear. There was no hair on his head, and it was covered with sesame-sized holes all over his head.

Xu San followed behind Qin Ze, diving very slowly and not as flexible as Qin Ze.

As far as the eye can see clearly, there is a stone archway with white walls, green tiles, flying eaves and even two red lanterns hanging on it. The plaque reads "Yufu Village".

Sang Que had some understanding of what kind of place the hidden world was.

The reason why it is called the 'Hidden World' is because this is the hidden world of gods, where ghosts, invisible curses, and even evil spirits that cannot be touched by the real world exist.

Continuing to dive, through the increasingly dim light, the two saw the rocky bottom of the lake and the gently swaying water plants, which seemed to be entangled with something.

At this moment, the head of a stone statue next to Xu San suddenly cracked open, and most of it fell off, revealing half of a human face underneath.

Xu San pulled his sleeve. Qin Ze turned around and saw Xu San's eyes wide open, pointing at a stone statue next to him. Qin Ze swam over and took a closer look, and his heart skipped a beat.

Before being submerged by the insect nest and completely plunged into darkness, Qin Ze's heart was filled with regret.

Blue-black, thread-like insects stretched out from the hole on the man's head, one after another, gradually flooding like a waterfall, rushing towards the two people. Ugh! Xu San was startled, spitting out a series of bubbles from his mouth, and accidentally choked on a mouthful of water.

Click! Click!

Outside the stone archway, hundreds of stone men were entangled in water plants, facing forward as if in worship. He could even vaguely hear low mumblings in his ears, and they were praying, praying to the gods and ghosts to take them into a fairyland where there was no pain or fear, and where there was eternal joy and life.

The well cannot be seen in the real world, but it can be seen in the hidden world, which means that the hidden world can reveal the true form of the curse.

The black blade flashed across, cutting off the filamentous worms and chopping off half of the skull of the man in the stone statue. His entire brain had been hollowed out, and inside was a ball of worms entangled together, wrapping around a fist-sized, crystal-like fish-wife statue.

Qin Ze continued swimming downwards and soon reached the outside of the building complex. He raised his head and scanned the outer walls, and saw the words "Yufu Village" on the door.

Xu San glanced around and suddenly thought of Yan Jiu and the other three day envoys who had disappeared before. He decided to look for them, perhaps they might have some clues.

The stone archway in front of her was very new. In the mist, she could see the thatched houses and villages behind the archway. It seemed that someone was living in them. All of this was in sharp contrast to the dilapidated environment around it, just like the witch temple she had seen in the hidden world.

Sang Que used the evil fog to teleport, avoiding those strange corpses and the human-faced snakes among them, and successfully reached the deepest part of the lake. A large building was hidden in the fog, looming.

Even so, the man seemed to be still alive. His eyes moved and he looked at Qin Ze and Xu San with pleading eyes.

Qin Ze has been brainwashing himself these past two days, completely treating himself as the corpse-retriever. Now that he has entered the water, he feels as if he has learned everything on his own. He can breathe underwater through the water plants, like a fish in water.

Back in Heishan Village, the well in Shouhou's home was actually cursed by Master Ming, so songs kept coming out of it, trying to attract Shouhou's mother to jump into the well and reunite with Huilan.

Thinking of this, Sang Que couldn't help but frown. Even if Qin Ze and Xu San went down to the lake, they might not be able to solve the problem in Pinghu Village.

Yin Tong stood quietly beside Sang Que, wearing a pair of large and ill-fitting embroidered shoes, staring blankly ahead.

Sang Que looked at her pocket watch and saw that ten minutes had passed. She decided not to go in yet and teleported away from the bottom of the lake and back to the village.

It's still the old way, go back to the modern era to buy some gasoline, and burn down the buildings at the bottom of the lake. She has the conditions, so there's no need to fight her way in with real guns and swords.

See you tomorrow~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
