Chapter 1016: Go and go back
"This should be an unboiled water mansion, right?" After a while, Han Li suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to an area at the bottom of the map, and asked.
"Yes, it is. It's just that with all due respect, if you fancy this, you are advised not to try, there is no point. The round-faced old man glanced at Han Li and waved his hand with a smile.
"Why is that?" Han Liqi said.
"Don't blame you, I don't want to see your bamboo basket empty, so I kindly reminded you. This water mansion is not said to be a true immortal monk, even the monks of the late stage of the Golden Immortal have come several times, wanting to try to open it. And guess what? The ban on the gate alone stopped everyone, and two of them tried to forcibly break the ban, which triggered the power of the ban countermeasures, one was seriously injured, and the other even lost his life in vain, and even Yuan Ying couldn't escape. The round-faced old man shook his head and sighed.
"I see, thank you for the tips. In the lower part, it is rough to use some forbidden magic arrays, and I am confident that even if I can't open the mansion, I can have some self-protection power, so don't worry, Daoyou, I will choose here. Han Li showed a sudden expression, and then said.
"This ...... Then I wish your guests all their wishes come true, and after a while, the Taoist friend has paid the fee, and I will send someone to take you there. Seeing this, the round-faced old man stopped persuading him and spoke.
After all, in his opinion, he has fulfilled the obligation to inform on behalf of the sect's position, and he can't control the choice of tenants, if he talks too much, it will make people suspect that he has ulterior motives, but it is not beautiful.
After Han Li had paid the fee, the round-faced old man no longer greeted him, and only sent a girl in a red robe with red lips and white teeth, and gave a few orders, ordering her to take Han Li to the shores of the Three Rivers and Lakes.
The girl was not very beautiful, but there were two shallow dimples on her round face, and she seemed to always have a smile, which made people feel very close at a glance.
Han Li and the girl flew down the Grate Mountain and walked along a lakeside path towards the lake.
"I don't think the guest looks like a stubborn person, why did you choose this ghost house?" The girl seemed to be a cheerful person, unable to hide her words, leading the way in front of her, and couldn't help asking.
"Ghost Sorrow Mansion, how can you say this, I hope the girl will tell me one or two. Han Li asked with a frown.
"It is the water house chosen by your guests, because since this water house was made public, no one has been able to open it throughout the ages, but many people have been injured and even lost their lives in vain, which is simply 'ghost sorrow'! Therefore, we have privately named the 'ghost sorrow house'. By the way, this is not its official name, if the guest can open it, you can give it an auspicious and festive name. The girl explained in a slightly mocking tone.
"Oh, the name 'Ghost Sorrow' is good, so it's good to call it this. Han Li thought for a moment and said seriously.
"This ...... It's not that the servant talks too much, and this matter of naming is still going to wait for the distinguished guest to really open the water mansion. Alas...... If you are willing to listen to my advice and go down to the bottom of the lake for a while, don't force it, you can't stand the prohibition and countermeasures, so you can quickly let go and come back, don't force it. The girl seemed to think of something, and admonished.
"By the way, what's your name?" Han Li asked with a smile as he glanced at the girl.
When the girl heard this, she was slightly stunned, it seemed that all the distinguished guests she had seen over the years had always regarded him as a servant who led the way, but no one had ever asked her name.
"The little servant's name is Hu Xiaocheng. After a moment's hesitation, the girl said with some embarrassment.
"Xiaocheng...... A small success, a small wealth is peace, but it is a good name that can stabilize a lifetime. Han Li nodded thoughtfully and said slowly.
After saying that, he fell silent, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart, and thought of another name, Ye Susu.
Just at the end of last month, he heard a message from some sources:
It is said that half a year ago, the Green Fox City was suddenly hit by a natural disaster in one day, and the entire city was burned in a fire, and all the people and animals in the city were wiped out, and no one survived.
After hearing this, he only thought about it a little, calculated the time, and naturally understood what was happening, so he had today's trip to the three rivers and lakes.
Seeing Han Li's expression was different, the girl didn't say anything more, but silently led the way in front.
After coming to a lakeside square on the bank of the Sanjiang Lake, the cool breeze blew from the lake, making the girl named Hu Xiaocheng feel comfortable, and couldn't help but stretch and take a deep breath.
Han Li looked at the sparkling lake, and he also felt a sense of relaxation and joy that he had not felt for a long time, and the gloom that had been lingering in his heart for a long time had faded a little.
"Honorable guest, here we are. Go down from the water in front of you, and sneak for less than a thousand feet, and you can reach the Ghost Sorrow Mansion. After Hu Xiaocheng stretched his waist, he turned his head to look at Han Li and said.
"I'm tired. Please wait here, I'll go back as soon as I go. Han Li nodded and said.
After that, he didn't wait for Hu Xiaocheng to answer, his body swept up and plunged into the water.
"Little ......"
As a result, as soon as a word popped out of Hu Xiaocheng's mouth, before he could speak, Han Li had already disappeared.
She pursed her lips a little helplessly, and muttered in a low voice: "Why is it so urgent, I haven't even said anything about the precautions, but the sentence 'go and go back' is quite a bit of a great master's demeanor, maybe ......"
Speaking of which, she couldn't say any more, after all, this is the "Ghost Sorrow Mansion" that made the golden immortals come back with their halberds, this noble guest looks ordinary, I'm afraid that the cultivation is not high, at most it is only the late stage of the True Immortal Realm, right?
"I just hope he can retreat and return safely. As soon as Hu Xiaocheng said a word, a wave suddenly broke out on the lake in front of her, and a figure immediately fell beside her.
When the girl rubbed her eyes vigorously and saw clearly that the person beside her was Han Li, she was slightly stunned at first, and then said with a smile:
"Coming back so soon? I thought you'd have to try for at least a few hours before you give up, but it's good that at least you're not trapped by the ban, it's really fateful. ”
"You little girl, you're not very old, but you have a lot of twists and turns in your heart. Go and call your elders, and say that I will pay the opening fee. Han Li raised his hand to Hu Xiaocheng's forehead and said with a smile.
"What...... You mean it's ......," Hu Xiaocheng said in disbelief.
"Let's go. Han Li smiled noncommittally and said.
Hu Xiaocheng shook his head at this time, turned around, and flew towards Comb Mountain.
It didn't take long for the round-faced elder, who was also full of surprise, to fly back to the lake with Hu Xiaocheng.
After he personally went into the water to inspect it, he finally believed that Han Li had really broken the ban on the Water Mansion here, and his face was immediately incredulous, but in the face of the facts, he couldn't allow him not to believe it, although he didn't show much on his face, his heart naturally set off a wave of overturning.
After Han Li had paid a sum of Immortal Yuan Stones, the round-faced elder said with a smile on his face:
"Within three years, this water mansion will belong to Han Daoyou. As mentioned before, all the treasures produced here, as long as they do not involve the survival of the Water Mansion, will be owned by Daoyou alone. ”
"Thank you. Han Li said with his fists clenched.
"By the way, as soon as this water house is opened, I hope that Daoist friends will give me a name. The round-faced elder nodded and said again.
Han Li glanced at the girl and said, "Let's call it the Ghost Sorrow Mansion." ”
The round-faced elder was stunned when he heard this, but nodded without saying anything more, and was about to leave.
"Xiao Cheng, you will serve by Han Daoyou's side for the time being, and if you have any needs, come to the sect to report as soon as possible. Before leaving, he instructed the girl.
"Yes. Hu Xiaocheng hurriedly saluted and said.
Han Li didn't refuse, just nodded slightly.
"How about it, do you want to go to this Ghost Sorrow Mansion to have a look?" waited until the round-faced elder left before Han Li said to Hu Xiaocheng.
Hearing this, the latter nodded heavily.
Han Li raised his hand and grabbed Hu Xiaocheng's shoulder, and a layer of blue light was covered in both of them at the same time, and they jumped and fell into the lake.
In the upper reaches of the lake, there is still sunlight shining in, and the further down it goes, the darker it becomes.
Hu Xiaocheng has shown people the way before, but he has also been to other water mansions, but he has never gone so deep as today, and he opened his eyes wide and looked around along the way.
In the middle of the lake, there are broken peaks everywhere, some of which are still slightly in their original state, and some of which are divided into low dirt bags.
On these peaks, there are scattered clusters of light, and if you look closely, you can see a variety of light curtains everywhere, which are covered by the water mansions that have been opened up.
Most of these water houses are extremely far away from this side, and they look like stars in the night sky.
Han Li took Hu Xiaocheng all the way to the bottom of the water and came to a small mountain that looked no more than ten zhang high.
Hu Xiaocheng looked intently, and saw that the top of the hill was shrouded in a layer of light curtain, and a narrow courtyard built against the mountain could be vaguely seen inside.
Han Li grabbed her arm, and as soon as her body was in a vertical position, she suddenly broke through the waves and rushed into that layer of light curtain.
As soon as you enter the light curtain, the feeling of being surrounded by lake water suddenly disappears.
After the two of them landed in a square in front of the courtyard, Han Li immediately removed the light curtain that shrouded them.
"Patriarch's Hall...... This is actually the ancestral hall of that sect?" Hu Xiaocheng looked at a plaque on the gate of the courtyard in front of him and exclaimed in surprise.
"Otherwise, why do you think that for so many years, no one has been able to break the ban here?" Han Li said with a smile.
"In that case, how did you break the ban here, distinguished guest?" asked Hu Xiaocheng without thinking.
"I read a lot. Han Li replied with a smile.
He had really seen the protection array of this sect ancestor hall in ancient books, and after all, it was not a mountain protection array, and he already knew some forbidden methods, so it naturally didn't take too much effort to crack it.
It is said that in the ancestral hall of the sect, there are usually secret books and heavy weapons of the sect, and ......" Hu Xiaocheng said with envy.
