I don¡¯t know what happened on the lake. There were people standing on the sides of the boats in several places, huddled together and pointing hastily at the lake. In addition, tourists in the boats were still rushing out of the cabins. He poked his head and looked into the lake.
The tourists on the lakeside seemed to have heard the noise, and they all stopped in confusion. Finally, someone saw the scene in the lake clearly, covered his mouth and let out a scream, and ran away from the shore in fear.
Qinyao looked hard for a while, and finally recognized something floating in the lake. She couldn't see the specific outline, but it was obvious that everyone's gaffe came from this.
Lin Xiao also came to the window, frowned and looked at the lake, and said to Chang Rong: "Go and see what happened."
Chang Rong was stretching his neck to look out the window curiously. Hearing this, he hurriedly responded and retreated.
Silence returned to the room. Although Qin Yao's attention was still focused on the lake in Nanyuanze, she noticed that Lin Xiao's Lan robe was close to her skirt again, making a rustling sound when it touched, and she couldn't help but stiffen. , remembering the situation just now, my face burned with indescribable embarrassment.
Lin Xiao also felt hot behind his ears. Seeing that Qin Yao looked awkward and refused to turn her head to look at him, he complained in his heart. He secretly regretted that he should not have lost his composure just now and had offended her so rudely. He wanted to use words to coax her away, but his Adam's apple moved. He moved, and felt that his behavior just now was simply indefensible. No wonder Qin Yao refused to pay attention to him.
After a while, Lin Xiao finally carefully broke the silence and whispered: "Ayao, I¡ª¡ª"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Chixiao suddenly made a low sound on his waist. Both of them were startled, Lin Xiao was especially shocked. Since the last incident with Rakshasa, Chixiao had not sounded the alarm for a long time.
After wondering for a while, the two people's expressions changed slightly, and they both looked out the window. Qin Yao opened her eyes, and at a glance she saw that there was clearly evil energy surging under the calm lake.
Qin Yao was so frightened that she lost her voice and said, "There is something in the lake!" After saying that, she turned around and ran out, trying to get to the lake as soon as possible to avoid something in the water causing trouble.
How could Lin Xiao let Qin Yao take risks alone? When they got downstairs, they happened to meet Chang Rong. Chang Rong looked extremely ugly. When he saw Lin Xiao and Qin Yao, he hurriedly said: "A dead child was found in Nanyuan Zeli. The child had been dead for who knows how long, but he suddenly emerged from the lake, floating on the water, and his body was as white as paper, so scary."
After hearing this, Qin Yao didn't waste any time and hurried to the lake. She tried her best to separate from the crowd and looked into the lake. She saw a floating corpse floating on the water not far away. Unfortunately, it was too far away. Can't see clearly.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of shock, some people said: "I don't know whose child died like this. My parents will be so sad when they find out."
Someone else answered: "No one has died in Nanyuanze since it was excavated and built. This child looks so young. How come he fell into the lake without any problems? And I have seen people drowned before. Usually the face is black and the body is swollen beyond belief, which is not the way this child died. You see, the color of the body is too white, as if someone had bled it."
After hearing this, the crowd let out a wave of horrified whispers. The man did not expect that his words would have such an effect. Instead, he was startled and said hurriedly: "I just said a few words, but I can't do it accurately." Yes, anyway, the officials will arrive soon, and they will make a decision after examining the body."
Qin Yao didn¡¯t care about the corpse in the lake for the time being, and just looked at the bottom of the water, thinking that the child¡¯s death was probably related to the thing in the lake, and she had to catch the evil thing no matter what. But no matter how she looked, the lake was calm and calm, and the slowly moving evil aura just now was no longer visible.
Could it be that the evil thing has escaped?
She was shocked and angry. She quickly looked up at the crowd watching the excitement by the lake. She saw that people were still gathered in twos and threes, maintaining the same formation they had just seen upstairs. The number did not decrease or scatter. She was even more confused. , if the evil thing is a tangible thing, it will definitely cause quite a stir when it comes out of the water, and it will not be completely silent like now.
But if the evil thing is invisible, how can it come and go from the lake freely under the scorching sun without losing its soul?
When Lin Xiao got close, he saw Qin Yao standing on the edge of the lake, standing on tiptoe, trying to look around. Her whole body was almost halfway into the lake. He was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her and said, "Be careful of falling."
Qin Yao couldn't care less about her embarrassment at this time, her eyes were still staring at the lake, and she kept guessing various possibilities in her mind. After thinking for a long time, an idea suddenly came to her, she turned to look at Lin Xiao and said: "Your Majesty, although Nanyuan Ze is Neihu, but do you know where the water came from when the late emperor ordered people to dig it?"
Lin Xiao pondered for a while and said: "There has been no water source in Chang'an City since ancient times. I heard that my grandfather personally inspected various places in the city for a long time in order to build an inner lake. Later, he specially selected the low-lying land in the south of the city as the inner lake. I heard that the water source came from Excavation in the western suburbs of Chang'an CityIt was brought by water channels, but I don¡¯t know the specific situation. "
"The western suburbs of Chang'an City?" Qinyao was stunned, "Could it be the Cang Ganges River at the foot of Wuniu Mountain?" She originally didn't know that there were water sources near Wuniu Mountain. Only after looking at the map of Chang'an last time did she know that there is a river at the foot of Wuniu Mountain. Cang Gang River, this river winds around Chang'an City from west to south, and finally reaches the foot of Yuquan Mountain.
Seeing her solemn expression, Lin Xiao knew that she would not ask this question out of thin air, so he patiently explained: "I'm not sure, but judging from the terrain around Chang'an City and the construction conditions of Nanyuanze at that time, it's probably a warehouse. The Ganges."
At this time, there was a commotion not far away, and a group of officials came quickly. The crowd that was originally gathered in a crowd hurriedly separated on both sides with a tacit understanding, so that the officials could reach the lakeside without any hindrance.
This group of officials from the Chang'an Prefecture behaved quite orderly. Soon, two people untied a small boat tied to a tree by the lake, rowed into the lake, used bamboo poles to move the body to the side of the boat, and put it down again. A huge net bag, and the two of them worked together to lift the body onto the bed.
As the boat sailed back to the shore, a thick stench spread in the air, and the crowd made the sound of vomiting one after another. No one was interested in watching the fun anymore, and they all avoided the distance with white faces. Only a few bold ones were left, although they were confused. Fearful, but unable to overcome his curiosity, he still tried to lean forward and look into the net bag.
¡°Go, go, go¡ª¡± Several government officials on the shore held up their knives to drive away the crowd, driving those who didn¡¯t know how to live or die far away.
When they arrived next to Lin Xiao and Qin Yao, they saw Lin Xiao's expression was cold and was about to yell. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of the dragon jade pendant on Lin Xiao's waist. He opened his mouth half-opened and then closed it tightly. He looked at Lin Xiao carefully and looked at it again and again. Although he didn't recognize the immortal, he didn't dare to say anything and turned around to chase away passers-by.
Qin Yao was already prepared to be driven away, but she never expected that the government official would act like this, so she couldn't help but take a sneak look at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao couldn¡¯t help but feel a little bit dumbfounded when he felt Qin Yao¡¯s eyes on him as a magical weapon.
Although the officials intended to release the water, Qin Yao did not dare to conduct an autopsy in a grand manner under the watchful eyes of the public. She only took advantage of the officials to peel the body out of the net bag and tiptoed over the body to sweep it carefully.
Looking at it, I realized that the dead boy was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. His face was a little blurry and swollen due to being soaked in the water for a long time, but he still looked handsome, his clothes were very luxurious, and his face was so white. Like paper, even his lips were bloodless. It stands to reason that a person who drowns in water would inevitably bleed from his orifices, but this young man's face was clean and without any blood stains.
Chixiao around Linxiao's waist couldn't help humming, Qinyao was shocked, and couldn't help but lean down and take a closer look at the young man's neck, but because of the obstruction of his clothes, he couldn't see the key point.
Lin Xiao saw this and whispered: "If you want to conduct an autopsy, I will think of a way later, but there are many eyes and ears here, so don't act rashly for the time being."
Qin Yao nodded hurriedly and was about to speak when suddenly there was a loud cry from a distance, and a group of people came running. There were men and women, old and young, all dressed in rich clothes. The one running at the front It was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. When he got close, he saw the state of the body and showed a grief-stricken look. He knelt down and hugged the body and cried: "Celebrate your birthday, celebrate your birthday. Big brother is here. Open your eyes and take a look at him." , Big brother is just saying a few words to you, why can¡¯t you think of throwing yourself into the lake? What will you tell me and my mother to do in the future, and how will I deal with myself?¡±
A very beautiful young woman in the back was supported by her maid and ran to the side. She recognized the face of the deceased. Her face completely faded. She stared in despair for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and slapped the young man desperately. He was about to burst into tears and said: "Why wasn't you the one who died! Why wasn't you the one who died! You gave me a birthday celebration! You gave me a birthday celebration!"
The young man allowed the woman to beat and scold him, and he hugged Qingsheng's body tightly with an ashen face. The woman cried and scolded for a while, then suddenly pushed the young man away with all her strength, held the body in her arms, and said with heartbroken words: "Qingsheng" ! My son! If you just leave like this, how can you live as a mother? "
Because the woman moved too much, Qingsheng¡¯s collar was pulled askew, exposing his neck. Qin Yao saw clearly an inconspicuous wound on his neck, her body was shaken, and she murmured: "He is really a zombie!"
She quickly turned her head to look at the sparkling water of Nanyuan Ze. After a moment of silence, she said to Lin Xiao: "I seem to know the route of this zombie. No, I can't delay any longer. I have to get to Wanniu Mountain as soon as possible." Go find the master."
