Chapter 610: Deep Water (Part )
Jiang Ning returned to the foot of the mountain and told Xiaoye Xiaoxiaozi about this.
"I think it was that old immortal who came to me in my dream!" Jiang Ning said.
He described the appearance of the old man with white beard, and Jiang Datou beside him immediately exclaimed.
"Yes, it's him, exactly the same as what I saw!"
The two had not checked the details before. The old man in Jiang Ning's dream had the same eyes, nose and facial features as the old man that Jiang Datou described.
This is enough to show that it was not a simple dream, but was indeed a message from the old immortal.
"Boss, what else does he say?" Leng Yu asked.
Jiang Ning said: "He asked me to take my Nine Dragon Jade Cauldron and dive under the Tianchi Lake to find the portal on the full moon night three days from now."
"Why do we need to bring the Nine Dragon Jade Cauldron when we go to find the portal?" Ono Xiaoxiaozi asked.
"I promised him that I would give him the jade tripod for one month in exchange for him turning a blind eye!" Jiang Ning said.
After saying this, Ono Xiaoxiaozi felt a little ashamed.
Jiang Ning really put a lot of effort into finding his father.
"But who can guarantee that he is telling the truth?" Xiao Ye Xiao Xiao Zi said, "The cultivation world is not as sincere and kind as we see it. When the cultivation world reaches a certain level, there is no restriction of laws. It is a dark jungle, killing and plundering. I don't know where that white-bearded old man came from. What if he thinks your Nine Dragon Jade Cauldron is good and takes it away instead of giving it to you?"
"I had no choice at the time!" Jiang Ning said, "Even if he took it directly, I wouldn't have been able to fight back! I was lucky enough to be able to negotiate with him!"
Jiang Ning naturally wouldn't believe the white-bearded old man 100%.
However, he was imprisoned in his dream at the time and had no power to fight back, so he was naturally at the mercy of others.
Xiaoye Xiaoxiaozi was just very ashamed. If Jiang Ning's family heirloom was taken away, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"Xiao Ye, this time we need to go underwater to set up the formation. Is it difficult?" Jiang Ning asked.
"It's a little difficult, but it's bearable!" Xiao Ye Xiao Xiao Zi said: "There are ways to set up underwater formations, but we need to update our equipment."
"Just tell me what you need and I'll ask someone to buy it!" Leng Yu said.
"Sister Leng Yu, let me make a list for you!"
Ono Xiaoxiaozi said this, took the paper money and started writing.
After writing, he handed the list to Leng Yu: "See if you can buy it!"
Leng Yu handed it to Jiang Datou and said, "See if you can buy it!"
Jiang Datou: “…”
When you said to ask someone to buy it, it turns out you were asking me to go!
But he has been here for a while and is familiar with this place: "I'll go take a look, it should be fine."
Afterwards, Jiang Ning went to the hotel and had a good night's rest. In the next two days, he was preparing to enter Tianchi.
Three days later, it was a full moon night.
Jiang Ning and others quietly went up the mountain.
The night, like a huge black curtain, weighs heavily on the Tianchi Lake on the top of the Baishan Mountain.
Jiang Ning and others, dressed in night clothes, quietly approached the mysterious lake like a few ghostly shadows.
The nights in Baishan were exceptionally cold, and the biting wind cut across their cheeks like a knife.
Ono Xiaoxiaozi finally realized how hard Jiang Ning's life was during those nights in the mountains.
As a result, her heart was deeply moved once again.
No wonder this man can take up such a big responsibility and gain the unconditional trust of so many loyal subordinates.
He is courageous, responsible, and strategic, and his subordinates have developed a strong sense of dependence on him.
And even I, in the process of interacting with him, slowly became unable to leave him.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
Everything was silent, with only the wind whistling through the forests, like a low warning from nature.
In the night, Tianchi looks like a huge black jade mirror, emitting a cold light. It is deep and mysterious, as if hiding countless unknown secrets.
This kind of scene and this kind of atmosphere would make anyone feel deeply frightened.
Even Leng Yu, who had lived in the mountains since childhood, couldn't help but look solemn.
"Lengyu, you and Datou stay up there to support us, Xiaoye and I will go down!" Jiang Ning said.
"Yes, boss!"
Leng Yu ordered Jiang Datou and others to carefully place the prepared tools, gems, etc. by the pool, so that they could be sent down with anchors and ropes at any time if needed.
Jiang Ning patted Xiaoye Xiaoxiaozi on the shoulder: "Success or failure depends on this one move, come on!"
"Ok!"
Ono Xiaoxiaozi nodded heavily.
The two men wore specially made diving suits, carried heavy equipment on their backs, and slowly stepped into the cold lake water.
The temperature of the lake water was extremely low, and they shivered as soon as they touched it.
They swam cautiously towards the center of the lake. Every time they paddled, they could feel the resistance of the water, as if the water was also resisting their invasion.
As we continued to dive, the light around us became dimmer and dimmer, leaving only the faint light from the diving light, flickering in the darkness.
There was a light mist in the lake, making the vision even more blurred.
The water plants around them swayed gently in the water, like arms reaching out to grab them.
Occasionally, a few unknown fish swim by. Under the light, their scales flicker with strange light, which makes people feel chilly.
Ono Xiaoxiaozi felt a strange breath approaching.
She clenched the magic weapon in her hand vigilantly, and Jiang Ning also stopped moving, concentrating on being alert.
Under the illumination of the diving light, a huge black shadow slowly emerged.
"Is it a water monster?"
Both of them were shocked.
It is said that there are ferocious beasts in Tianchi. Could it be true?
The next second, the huge figure rushed over, its body covered with black scales, its eyes flashing fiercely like lanterns. It opened its bloody mouth, let out a low roar, and rushed towards them.
With the help of the searchlight, the two could see clearly that it was not a water monster, but a giant sturgeon.
The sturgeon is the largest freshwater fish in northeastern China and can reach five or six meters in length.
But this sturgeon is about seven or eight meters long, larger than the legendary sturgeon.
However, this kind of fish is not very aggressive. It passed between Jiang Ning and Xiaoye Xiaoxiaozi and disappeared into the water.
This encounter shocked the two of them, but it also ignited their passion.
Such a blessed place must have rich spiritual energy to nurture such a huge creature.
The two continued to dive, and the water pressure became greater and greater.
The underwater world was quiet and dark. The enormous water pressure was like an invisible shackle, oppressing their bodies.
The water temperature around them was so low that it seemed to freeze their blood. The searchlight on Jiang Ning's forehead emitted a faint orchid light, which swayed in the water and illuminated a small area around them. Their figures appeared and disappeared in the light and shadow, like ghosts.
After diving for a long time, the Tianchi Lake was still bottomless and the surroundings were pitch black, making people feel abandoned and desperate.
