The reason why there is a saying in the Yin-Yang business that "it's better to go up the mountain than to wading in the water" is not unreasonable.

First, the water is not as good as mountains, rivers and earth veins. Once it enters the water, it is the territory under the control of the River God. Naturally, there is less protection for those who eat Yin and Yang.

And no matter how smart Mr. Yin and Yang are, they rarely use their means underwater.

It would be fine if it was an ordinary water ghost. The white-haired water ghost is a serious old ghost. It has been under the water for at least hundreds of years before it will be covered with white hair like a water grass.

If it is on land, it may be vulnerable, but under the water, the white-haired water ghost's strength is greater than that of three or five ordinary middle-aged people.

Seeing that Xiao Lei's face was purple and obviously choked on the water when he was dragged down, I didn't even bother to think about it anymore, so I took out the Yin-Yang Knife that was held in my hand in advance, bit it on my mouth, and swam over quickly.

But as soon as he arrived, the white-haired water ghost suddenly opened his arms and let go of Xiao Lei.

I was stunned and subconsciously wanted to pull Xiao Lei.

But at this moment, the water ghost's upper body suddenly turned down. Before I could react, I felt my ankle tightening suddenly!

When I looked down, I was so scared that I was scattered.

It turned out that the water ghost's feet were like human hands, and could be bent and grasped.

It flipped its upper body down, one foot still grasped Xiao Lei's calf, but the other foot grabbed my ankle without my guard!

The white-haired water ghost hit the hit and immediately swam to the bottom of the water at a faster speed than the swimming fish.

Xiao Lei and I were grabbed by our legs and feet, and we sank quickly, without even room for struggle, let alone counterattack.

Gradually, I began to lose my breath and my mind became swollen.

I knew very well what was waiting for me, but I had no choice but to wait for the time being to be exhausted and drowned.

But at this moment when I was on the verge of despair, I suddenly realized that Xiao Lei, who was about to die, had his eyes widened and his head lowered, as if he had seen something incredible.

At this moment, I felt the water flow around me begin to be slow and strong turbulent.

In shock, I reluctantly lowered my head and looked down.

I saw mud and sand stirring up a large area under the water, as if something huge was floating up from the bottom of the water.

The mud and sand quickly stirred the bottom of the water to a turbidity, and at this moment, I was almost unable to hold back my breath.

However, at the critical moment, I suddenly felt my ankle loosening.

My ankles were loose, but my heart was tightened, and I vaguely felt that a bigger crisis was coming to us.

In a hurry, I looked down again and saw that the white-haired water ghost who had been desperately dragging us was in panic to escape.

Its speed is very fast, but it only swam less than ten feet away. At the bottom of the water not far from it, a pair of copper bells and red eyes suddenly appeared!

The owner of the eyes suddenly moved, and the mud and sand brought up stirred the bottom of the water so that it was completely impossible to see things clearly.

I didn't care about what it was. The strong and huge sense of crisis prompted me to go upstream desperately regardless of everything.

"call……"

While drilling out of the water, little thunder also emerged from the side.

Nearly dying and living, the two of them sucked in big breaths regardless of everything.

It took me a while before I recovered.

But the next second, I saw clearly the situation around me, but was completely stunned.

"Go up!" Xiao Lei suddenly shouted.

I almost instinctively grabbed the stone platform beside me, climbed up quickly, turned around and pulled Xiao Lei, and saw spiral ripples starting to appear on the five-foot-square water surface.

“Come up!”

The moment I tried hard to pull Xiao Lei out of the water, the turbulent water waves formed a huge funnel-shaped vortex, gurgling like thunder to sink downwards.

The two of them sat on the stone platform and looked at each other, their faces full of fear.

Even if we have time to take a breath, we will most likely be sucked into the bottom of the water by this violent vortex and will never be reborn.

“Where is this?”

I finally came to my senses and looked around and muttered to myself.

Xiao Lei and I came down from the stone well in the mine, but at this moment they were sitting side by side on a stone platform next to the water.

The original stone well was a circular wellhead with a rough edge and a diameter of less than one meter.

Now looking up, there is a space surrounded by white marble railings about one meter high and two meters square.

At the diagonal diagonal of the stone platform we are in, there is roughly the same platform.

There are stone steps leading up above the platforms on both sides.

This is completely different from the wellhead we came down...

The strangest thing is that what you look up is not the suppressed top of the mine tunnel, but the night sky with bright moons and sparse stars!

"How could this happen..." I asked again subconsciously.

Turning his head, he saw Xiao Lei staring at the water near him as if he was obsessed with a demon.

"Little Lei!"

"Ah?" Xiao Lei came to his senses and looked at me.

The underwater experience filled me with fear, and I didn't bother to ask him anything, so I got up and pulled him up the steps.

When I got to the ground, I was completely confused.

Except for the pool we came up to is not like a pool, the square stone pool of the well is not like a water well. It exists on a small open space in the valley, and is surrounded by dense forests.

The two of them actually came to the wilderness, and at the "exit" of this mountain clearing is a pool with carefully carved stone railings.

"Where is this?" Xiao Lei seemed to have reacted.

"I want to know, too."

I said powerlessly, looking around, my body and mind were indescribable to my fatigue.

Xiao Lei was a little lost since he came up just now, and it seemed that he had completely recovered.

He looked up at the sky, looked around, and finally knelt on the ground, smelled it with his garlic head and nose, straightened his waist, and untied his wet backpack.

He stood up, came to me with his backpack, looked around, and pulled me a few steps aside.

"Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, felt it carefully, and nodded subconsciously, "It seems..."

"I'm missing something, but I feel there's something more around me." Xiao Lei opened his backpack and took out a leather pocket that wasn't big.

Then, he said something shocking to me: "We are now in the underworld."

"Half?"

"Well. To be precise, it should be the junction of yin and yang." Xiao Lei rubbed the garlic nose, and said in a muffled voice while taking something from his leather pocket: "I can see some ghosts around, but you must not see it."

I was stunned again.

"It's normal. You originally saw more than I did, but with the Yin Earth Xuanwu guarding, your feelings and ghost eyes should have failed. I am different from you. I have been locked underground by my master for many years. Their eyes and feelings are not innate, but the ability of the body itself. So... what I can see, you can't see."

"Yindi Xuanwu? What is it?" I asked.

Xiao Lei rubbed his elbow and rubbed his nose, "It's the big guy under the water, you probably didn't see it."

I couldn't help but think of the blood-red eyes I saw underwater at the end.

While speaking, Xiao Lei had already taken out a thin leathery thing the size of a palm-sized piece from his leather pocket.

I couldn't help frowning when I smelled the fishy smell, but I quickly thought that I had smelled a similar smell before.

Sure enough, Xiao Lei pouted and blew hard at one end of the leather, and the thing swelled.

I immediately recognized what that was.

It was a small lantern the size of a palm, like a puffer fish belly.

The first time I followed Sang Lan's family to Gu Shepherd's house, Xiao Lei came out to pick us up, and he was holding such a lantern in his hand.

Xiao Lei suddenly looked at me and grinned: "You don't know my name yet, right? I mean Daming."

"I don't know." I shook my head.

"I picked it up by my master. My surname is Gu Lei." Xiao Lei rubbed his nose again, his expression seemed a little entangled, but he soon looked at me again and said firmly: "From today, I am Gu Shepherd!"

My heart moved suddenly, "Little Lei!"

Before I could continue talking, Xiao Lei's cheeks bulged and put his mouth on the mouth of the little lantern.

"puff!"

This time, a mouthful of blood was sprayed into the lantern.

The lantern was originally a half-gray color like a fish skin. It was dyed red immediately after the blood sprayed, but soon, the blood drops inside were absorbed by the "fish skin lamp". The bright red dissipated, and the "fish skin" became white.

Just after the last piece of blood visible to the naked eye disappeared, the lantern that had turned pure white suddenly lit up, emitting a blue-white light that was not dazzling but could make people feel the chilling blue-white light.

At the same time, something gently hit me on the back shoulder.
