Chapter 228: The mechanism at the bottom of the lake

Ji Qingling was told by Yun Jin that she had been underwater for an hour. She spread her hands indifferently and said, "I am naturally good at swimming!"

"No matter how good a swimmer you are, you can't stay in the water for such a long time without spiritual power!"

"What's it to you?"

"What?"

Ji Qingling's feet were hurting so much, why should he listen to this guy talking?

"What does it have to do with you? Even if I live in the water for a year, what does it have to do with you? Have you become stupid as the captain of the Yun family? Do you want to control everything?"

Yun Jin's face showed a hint of anger, "I just hope you don't do anything behind our backs, or we'll get into trouble!"

"Mind your own business!"

"It's you who summoned this giant turtle today! Don't you think you need to give everyone an explanation?"

Ji Qingling turned around and said, "Yes, I need to tell everyone about this, but are you everyone? You are just one person, who can you represent?"

Ji Qingling took a breath and said, "There is a saying in our hometown that is especially suitable for you!"

Yun Jin is not a fool, so he knew it was definitely not something good, so he would not be stupid enough to ask what it was.

Ji Qingling didn't need him to ask, "Why are you pretending to be an elephant with a green onion stuck in your pig's nose!"

"you!"

Yun Jin raised his sword, and Ji Qingling raised his wrist, "Let's see which is faster, your sword or my hidden weapon?"

Of course Yun Jin didn't dare to try, he silently put down his sword.

Ji Qingling ignored him and dragged his injured leg back. He didn't feel anything when he was running away, but now he realized that the wound was really painful!

Sea of ​​flowers.

The others were either scattered around, or gathered together with their teammates, looking depressed. Didn't they know how many people they had just lost?

Ji Yuting was a little confused. She didn't dare to go into the woods. Ji Zhihan had not returned yet, and Ji Guangjin had not returned either.

When she saw Ji Qingling, she immediately stepped forward excitedly, "Qingling, you're back! They haven't come back yet! What should I do?"

Seeing Ji Qingling limping, he quickly pulled her to sit on a rock, "Sit down first, I'll help you."

Ji Qingling stopped her, "Yuting, can you help me call the others over? I have something to tell everyone."

"About the giant turtle? No one can be blamed for this. It will come out of the woods sooner or later! I think the apes that didn't dare to come to the woods before, could it be because of the giant turtle?"

Ji Qingling chuckled, "That's not it. I think I found a way to leave this space."

"What, you found it?"

This sentence was shouted by Ji Zhihan. He and Ji Guangjin were chased by a giant turtle for a while. They were scared and ran away.

Ji Qingling nodded, "Let's go and take a look together. I'm not sure either."

"Have you seen Zhao Rou?"

"Zhao Rou? I didn't see her. Why are you looking for her?"

"She pushed me into the pit and hit the giant turtle."

"Do you have a grudge?"

"Yes. But now is not the time to talk about that. Let's go there and take a look first."

Ji Zhihan called other people over, and Ji Qingling brought them to the lake.

“Have you ever caught any fish here?”

Everyone shook their heads.

"I went diving a few times. At first I just thought it was strange, and I always felt that there was something different about this lake. Later I found out that no one had ever caught fish from here, or even seen one."

Yun Jin asked her, "So what? There are fishless lakes like this in the Kyushu Continent."

"Yes, it was just the lack of fish that caught my attention. I searched the entire bottom of the lake before I discovered the problem."

"What's the problem?"

"There are several large rocks scattered at the bottom of the lake. They look ordinary, but after I laid them out on the ground, I always felt that they looked like special patterns."

"The pattern on the bottom of the lake?"

"My guess is that it might be a magic circle, but I don't know much about magic circles."

Yunjin looked at Ji Qingling and then at Yunnan.

Yunnan’s attainments in formations are quite impressive.

Ji Qingling laid out the locations of the large rocks by the lake.

Others gathered around to take a closer look.

"Is it really a pattern, but there is such a formation? A few stones? Then what should we do?"

Yunnan stared at it for a while and then said, "This should be an ancient formation. It's better to say it's an ancient mechanical technique than a formation."

"Mechanical engineering?"

"Yes, the formation requires spiritual energy to be activated, but the mechanical technique does not."

"So, fellow Daoist Yunnan, do you mean that we should activate this mechanical technique?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Very likely. But I'm going to go down and take a look."

Ji Qingling felt that it would take him a long time to search for it alone, so he said, "I'll take you there."

Ji Qingling originally wanted to bring Yunnan Zhishui to save him some energy, but he didn't expect the other party to not appreciate it at all.

Yunnan interrupted her, "I can go down alone."

He didn't even look at Ji Qingling.

Ji Qingling had no choice but to shut up, nodded and stopped talking.

You can handle it best.

Yun Jin thought about what he had seen before, and he really wanted to persuade Yunnan that it would be better to let Ji Qingling lead the way.

But he knew Yunnan's character, he would not turn back once he hit the wall. If he was not allowed to try it himself first, he would not do it obediently.

Yunnan went down into the lake, while the others waited by the lake. Ji Qingling had checked and found that there was no living thing in it, so there shouldn't be any danger.

Ji Yuting helped her treat her wound. Ji Qingling leaned against the rock and talked to everyone about the giant turtle.

"Although it was Zhao Rou who pushed me down, I did have my reasons for this. I think it's best to make it clear."

Jiang Songqing said, "It is not uncommon for cultivators to encounter various monsters. Everyone has their own fate, so no one can be blamed."

"How did Zhao Rou know there was such a huge turtle down there?"

Someone suddenly thought of something, "I saw her coming out from the depths of the woods before, with a strange look on her face. Now that I think about it, she might have discovered it at that time."

"We sleep next to this giant turtle every day, and she didn't say a word. The worst thing is that she can even sleep well herself!"

Ji Qingling was unwilling to go into too much detail and only gave the general outline of the matter.

It is normal for monks to become enemies with each other, and it is normal for others to know that they have a feud.

Yunnan in the lake was so tired that he didn't expect it would be so difficult to circle the bottom of the lake.

He climbed to the shore without strength. When faced with other people's questions, he could only tell the truth, "The lake bottom is too big. It takes several attempts to determine the correct position."

Ji Qingling took out the things he had just prepared and handed them to Yunnan, "Daoyou Yunnan, I have been good at swimming since I was a child. Tie the rope around your waist and I will take you down for a walk."

Ji Qingling didn't mean to be a good person, but the most important thing was to find a solution and leave here as soon as possible.

She had had enough of not being able to use her spiritual power.

Yunnan hesitated, "Can you do it?"

"Why don't you just try and know?"

Yun Jin spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Ji is indeed very good at swimming. I have seen it with my own eyes!"

It’s too late. If there are any typos, please leave a message and I will correct them tomorrow.
