Chapter 1561 – Is this true?
The place that White Tiger brought them to was indeed a bit hidden, it was actually under a very large lake. If it wasn’t for the fact that White Tiger brought them here, perhaps no one would have thought that there would be another heavenly passage below.
This white tiger lake was called Little Dong Ting. About six or seven hundred li away from here was a lake that was also named after the word ‘Dong Ting’. It was much larger than this lake, so it was also called Great Dong Ting Lake.
Although there was a small name in it, the small lake was not small at all. One could not see the end of it.
Surprisingly, there were a few broken and deformed houses by the lake. The walls had been transformed into a long dirt mound and it was quite desolate. It was unknown how many years had passed since someone had lived by this lake.
There was also a battered fishing boat on the shore. It was riddled with holes, but it still had the appearance of a fishing boat. If they touched it, it would probably break apart.
“Qingzhou is a big place with plenty of resources, and it used to be a land of fish and rice. There is a unique aquatic product in this small pond called the Sloping Fish, and the taste is extremely delicious. At its peak, there are at least several thousand fishermen by the lake, but later on, water monsters appeared in the lake, causing disasters for the people.”
The White Tiger let out a sigh, as if it was pained by the dilapidated state of this place.
“Aren’t there any cultivators controlling it?”
“Cultivators?”
The water demons are most likely formed from the grievances of people who have fallen into the water, or perhaps it is another sad story. There are rumors that when a person fell into the water, many fishermen by the lake saw that no one had helped him, so after that person died, his resentment did not dissipate and he turned into a water demon. ”
“It’s jusumor.”
Du Shoushou said: “There are two sides to the story, the story you are telling seems a bit sad and desolate, but from a different angle, once upon a time, there were thousands of households here, and all of them were fishing for a living, why are they looking at this? I’m afraid the person who fell into the water has a bigger problem of his own. ”
The White Tiger was stunned for a moment. “You’re right.”
“It’s more than a few points, it’s completely reasonable.”
Du Shoushou said, “But after bringing disaster upon a person for so long, forcefully bringing about such a calamity on a country with only a few traces of people, without even being managed by a cultivator, is truly too much.”
“Most cultivators are selfish people.”
The White Tiger said, “Don’t say that you don’t like it. In fact, to the human cultivators that I’ve met, people like you can be considered as unusual. It can’t be said that even phoenix feathers and qilin horns can’t be considered mainstream …” If he wasn’t selfish, how could a cultivator meditate and cultivate? Sealing up one’s senses and emotions is an essential lesson for cultivators. What does the water demon harming others have to do with them? ”
“Not many cultivators would take risks for the sake of their reputation.”
Du Shoushou felt that what the White Tiger said was too extreme, but they had no way of refuting it.
Actually, the reason why the White Tiger had always looked down on human cultivators was because it had indeed seen too many of them.
“As the saying goes, cultivators who remain hidden must be praised by the common people. What about the reality? It was just a show of affection… to the world, to the world, and to people. ”
“White Tiger, where did you hear all these stories from?”
Du Shoushou suddenly saw an incomplete stone tablet not far from the lake’s edge. He curiously walked over to take a look, and his expression immediately changed.
The White Tiger had seen the monolith before, but it was not interested. Aesult, it had never read the contents of the monolith inscriptions.
Three hundred li of Clear Wind Mountain flew over to watch the two cultivators fighting the water demons at the bottom of the lake. However, the water demons are powerful, and both the master and disciple died in battle. The townspeople are sorrowful, so they did not care about the danger and went into the water to search for the two master and disciple corpses.
“In the past fifteen years, sixty-six disciples of the true qi sect have traveled from far away to the small lake to eliminate demons. Sixty-six disciples, one survivor, the true qi sect has suffered a great loss and is almost eliminated from the martial arts world.”
“Three days later, Daoist Master from the Three Purities Monastery and his disciples arrived, first setting ultar by the lake to mourn the deaths of the cultivators and the surrounding villagers, then using his great mana to suspend the water of the small lake in the sky.” Three days later, Daoist Master from the Three Purities Monastery came with his disciples, first setting up a altar to mourn the deaths of the cultivators and the surrounding villagers, then using his great powers to suspend the water of the small lake.
“After the death of the water demon, on the thirty-ninth day of the small pond, the imperial government sent officials and soldiers to help the villagers move their homes. The only families who were reluctant to leave were the old and the weak.”
The stone tablet was already mottled, and the words on it were no longer complete, so he could only roughly make out these few words.
Du Shoushou turned around and looked at the White Tiger: “Can you see it clearly?”
The White Tiger snorted. Although it didn’t say anything, it was still quite shocked in its heart.
From his point of view, the human cultivators were mostly selfish. How could they risk their lives for something that had nothing to do with them? However, the records on the monolith inscriptions had truly deeply shocked him.
“Even if there are some good ones, isn’t that fine?”
He mumbled to himself as his eyes started to blur.
Was it true that she had misunderstood him too deeply?
“So the resting place you mentioned is actually an ancient tomb.”
An Zheng said: “Didn’t you say it was naturally formed?”
White Tiger finally reacted, “That’s right, I’ve hibernated here for tens of thousands of years. When have I seen any tomb? Therefore, these monolith inscriptions may not necessarily be real. Perhaps it was carelessly carved and placed here by random people. ”
Du Shoushou just snorted and ignored him.
“If there was indeed a large ancient tomb at the bottom of the lake, how could the White Tiger not have discovered it after hibernating here for several tens of thousands of years? “However, this inscription cannot be fake. It can only be said that …”
An Zheng looked at the White Tiger. Actually, when he said those words just now, he had already thought of something, it was just that the words had already been said.
“There’s a barrier below.”
The White Tiger said in a very low voice, “If this inscription is not fake, then it can only mean that there is a barrier underneath, and I was hibernating at the bottom of the lake a long time ago. Therefore, I don’t know what happened at that time, and if I did, then I definitely wouldn’t have let a small water monster act so impudently, and after I went into hibernation, I immediately left. I didn’t investigate if anyone had built a large tomb at the bottom of the lake while I was hibernating.”
Chen Shaobai said: “It’s a little strange, cultivators normally do not build their own tombs at the bottom of the lake.”
These words made a lot of sense. Everyone here was a cultivator, so they understood what cultivators thought … The majority of cultivators only cultivated for the sake of longevity. If they wanted longevity, they had to have a clear understanding of the concept and comprehend the heavens. Who would be willing to suppress themselves underwater? Water was the most feminine and gentle thing in the world. It could isolate Yin Qi and Yang Qi and creatomb for oneself at the bottom of the water. It would not even be able to be reincarnated.
That was strange.
“If it wasn’t for cultivators, who would be able to build a huge tomb under the water?”
“Yeah, it’s hard to understand.”
“I’ve lived for so long, but I’ve never seen anyone so cruel to themselves.”
After White Tiger said this, he looked at everyone. Actually, they all thought the same … If a cultivator were to use an underwater tomb to suppress him and prevent him from reincarnating, it would most likely not be a beautiful story.
“Be careful when you go down later.”
An Zheng faintly felt that it would not be as simple as what the White Tiger said. When the White Tiger entered the bottom of the small lagoon to sleep, there were no large tombs underwater, so he was completely clueless about the outside world.
When he came out, he didn’t even think about these things and directly came out.
“White Tiger.”
An Zheng suddenly turned his head to look at the White Tiger. “What are you hiding from me?”
The White Tiger’s expression changed abruptly, then it let out a bitter laugh, “I knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes. I thought you would be taken away by me, so stop thinking about it …”
An Zheng said: “You have never seen the inscriptions on the monoliths before, you don’t know that there is a big tomb at the bottom of the water, but how do you know the legend of the small cave by the lake? “I wanted to ask you something just now, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to say it due to touching on some private matter. But now, it seems that it’s not that simple.”
The White Tiger let out a long sigh and sat down on the shore: “Then tell me about it first … I originally planned to tell you guys when I get down there. ”
He glanced at Gu Qianye, as if he was afraid and a little guilty.
“I do know about the Water Demon, and I know that someone built a large tomb underwater. I did not care about the Water Demon, but the first reason is that I was in a deep slumber and knew that these things were just the spiritual consciousness scattered outside to protect myself, I only noticed it the moment experts approached my resting place, but what I did not expect was that the place was very strange, and after I went in, I could sense what I found with my spirit stones, but I could not move at all, that place …” It’s a cycle of reincarnation. ”
“Yes, I am also selfish. I can’t help but feel that the matters of the human world, especially the matters of humans, have nothing to do with me. Whether it is water demons, cultivators, or mortals, they all have nothing to do with me …” I really don’t know about the tomb. ”
An Zheng snorted: What else do you want to hide?
White Tiger said helplessly, “There really isn’t any. Forget it, I’ll start from the beginning ….” When I first came here, this place didn’t have any big tombs, and there were indeed a lot of fishermen around. When the water monster first appeared, I wanted to control it, but I was powerless because that place is really strange, after entering, until the end of the cycle of reincarnation, no one can come out. ”
“Moreover, after entering, it will be completely sealed. Roughly three years later, the Spiritual Awareness I left outside also broke off contact. Later on, because it was too dangerous for me to continue probing, I could only force myself to enter hibernation.”
Du Shoushou said angrily: “Your hibernation is not to avoid Tan Shanse at all, but because you met with danger. You brought us here, you simply have no good intentions!”
Gu Qianye’s face turned slightly pale as she looked at the White Tiger: “Is that true?”
