While Xiao Yu was catching crayfish, Zhou Yanzhi struggled to get up, and with great effort, he finally reached the surface. Large patches of water chestnuts and duckweed covered the surface.
He picked a water chestnut, peeled it and tasted it, and found that it was indeed very rich in spiritual energy. This made him unable to resist picking some and preparing to give it to the children to taste.
From the surface, it was impossible to see the surroundings clearly. The thick lotus stems and huge lotus leaves blocked out the sun like a dense forest. Zhou Yanzhi could only leap onto the nearby lotus leaves, which were like millstones.
The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are particularly red in the sun.
What meets the eye is lush green, flowing blue, all kinds of green that stretch for thousands of miles... and huge white lotuses, yellow lotuses, red lotuses, pink lotuses, purple lotuses... that are like lotus thrones, with postures that are either elegant, solemn, or graceful.
The lotus pond's vastness, like the magnified lotus leaves and lotus flowers, deserves to be called a Lotus Lake. If it weren't for the three sides offering views of the misty mountains and forests, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a Lotus Sea.
"Brother?" Xiao Yu's voice came from under the lotus leaf.
Zhou Yanzhi responded quickly, and after a moment, he saw the child crawling out from a crack.
"Haha, the lotus leaves here are so thick!" Xiao Yu climbed onto the lotus leaves, "My childhood dream has finally come true."
"What was your dream as a child?"
"Lying on a lotus leaf! Unfortunately, the ordinary lotus leaves in the pond can't bear me. What I want is that feeling of lying on a lotus leaf and swaying in the water."
"Then you can try it now."
"Hehe, I'll try it later." Xiao Yu said, but stood up and looked up at the sky.
Zhou Yanzhi looked up following his gaze and saw that the sky, which was previously empty, now had a green lotus covering the entire sky, just like the one he had seen outside before.
This lonely green lotus was being tightly pulled by countless iron chains, some of which passed through its lotus stem, some through its petals, and some directly pierced through its entire lotus pod.
Seeing clearly that the iron chain pierced through the lotus stem, petals, and lotus pod, Xiao Yu suddenly shuddered and fell limply onto the lotus leaf.
Zhou Yanzhi hugged him and said, "Don't be afraid."
Xiao Yu's expression was somewhat painful: "I don't know what's going on. I feel so much pain, as if those chains are passing through my body."
Zhou Yanzhi: ...
The scenery before them changed, and they arrived at a place surrounded by fog. Looking down, they realized that they were now on the lotus flower that was imprisoned by chains.
With the close contact, Xiao Yu felt even more pain.
When he saw it from a distance, the lotus seemed to be fine, but when he reached the lotus head in the center of the lotus, he found that the entire huge lotus petals had withered and fallen, and the lotus head was broken into pieces.
It’s like a prosperous city of life that is devoured by greed, and in the end only ruin and desolation remain.
Suddenly, the lotus pods, lotus flowers and chains under their feet turned into golden light. Before Zhou Yanzhi and Xiao Yu could react, the golden light swarmed and poured into the center of their eyebrows.

The lively ringing of a cell phone startled the two people who were immersed in the inheritance.
The two opened their eyes almost at the same time and looked at each other. Before they could be surprised by why the other person's eyes turned gold and blue, they had to answer the call urged by the ringing of the mobile phone.
"My mom and the others are ready." Xiao Yu lowered his head and looked at the vast lotus pond and the even vaster mountains and forests beneath his feet.
"Then go back. Come back when you have time."
"Yeah." Xiao Yu said with a lingering feeling: "There are so many lobsters, I don't know when I can catch them all."
"Just lobster?" Zhou Yanzhi laughed.
Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed: "There are also loaches and snails... Actually, I didn't like eating snails when I was a child. Later, when I went to school, everyone ate spicy fried snails, so I opened that window!"
"Ah, how could this happen? How could this happen? Where did the lotus seeds come from? They are too domineering. A seed can actually create a space by itself?" Hulu Ding shouted exaggeratedly.
Xiao Yu was speechless: "If you have the ability, you can also open one."
“…” Gourd Ding: ┭┮﹏┭┮, if I hadn’t been refined into a treasure, I would have been able to open up a space for myself!
☆
The two came out of the lotus pond and looked down at the valley. The whole valley gave them a feeling of desolation and barrenness, as if it was a rotten land with no grass growing.
As for the feeling that made people want to take off, it is completely gone.
"Let's go."
"Yes." Xiao Yu nodded. After inheriting the lotus seed, he gained some inherited memories.
These memories have no beginning. I don’t know if it’s because the sealed lotus has lost its power, or if it’s something else.
In this memory that is estimated to be only a few hundred years old.
This place, once known as a blessed land because of the existence of lotus, was used by people with ulterior motives to lure all kinds of monsters who wanted to ascend and leave to be hunted.
The legendary high platform is the altar they built to worship the blessed land.
Those humans sent here are sacrifices and bait.
Those people used the blood of the sacrifices to activate the power of the blessed land, thereby luring powerful monsters to ascend, and then hunted them when they were weak and suffering from thunder tribulations.

"In four years, this sixty-year cycle will be over. There is no need to worry that this land will remain barren." Zhou Yan said.
Xiao Yu smiled: "I'm not that saintly." If he really did something, such as paying compensation to the owners of these lands out of his own pocket. Then who would those wronged souls who were about to disperse turn to for justice? The land has only been barren for a few years, so let everything take its course. "The land in the mountains is only fertile in the first few years. Now those who live in the village are all old, weak, sick and disabled. They are reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, and even more reluctant to fertilize the land. My mother said that our family's land in this area, especially in summer, must be watched after applying fertilizer, otherwise someone will pass through our fields with water and take away all the fertilizer.
