Chapter 124 Protecting the ‘Land’ of the Lake

Chapter 124 The Lake that Protects the ‘Land’
Wang Qi was touching his chest position in consternation.

Age solidification sounded like eternal youth, but having a wound on your body but being able to actively heal it, that was more than just the concept of eternal youth.

Zhang Feixuan, on the other hand, looked towards the friction wound on Wang Qizheng’s face, which was a small scrape on the ground that he had inadvertently rubbed on the ground when he landed when he had been rolled away by Senior Brother Huang Feng earlier.

With Lao San’s physical quality, it should have actually healed long ago, and it had been in the process of healing even before he drank the water, but after he drank the water, the scuff marks on his face were obviously still there, with absolutely no signs of further healing.

“Has the time for me to wait been stopped?” Zhang Feixuan muttered.

“That’s right.”

Song Yin said, “Your time, was frozen at the moment you drank water, and whatever state you were in at that moment will remain .”

He paused and continued, “But the strange thing is here, our bodies, we still have sensations, whether it’s pain or hunger that exists, obviously time has stopped, but we still have to rely on the water here for survival.”

“Senior brother, you also drank it?” Wang Qizheng couldn’t help but ask.

Song Yin nodded his head and said, “I drank it the moment I went into the water, after entering the water, that water seemed to merge with me, but what am I, all laws are inviolable, all evils are resisted, the water in the lake, it can’t harm me.”

Got it, Big Brother himself certified that the water in the lake can really melt people.

Luckily it was stopped at that time.

Only.
“Age can solidify here? Wouldn’t I be immortal then?” Zhang Feixuan thought of something and his eyes glazed over with a bit of excitement.

When Wang Qizheng and Gao Siju heard this, their pupils shrank.

If time stayed at this moment, then he would not have to die.

This wasn’t simply a physical body not dying, but time freezing, then this dangerous world could be safe for them.

Even if the price was staying here all the time and not being able to move away, it wasn’t unacceptable.

“My generation cultivates, it’s not like we’re resting in one place, this thought is not to be taken.”

Song Yin gave them a strange look and added, “The years are frozen, representing that you cannot grow, no matter how you refine your qi, you will not be able to advance an inch. Relying only on water to live, you also can’t get away from this realm, like that bird in a cage, no more freedom. Moreover.”

Song Yin gazed forward, “After a long time, something will obviously go wrong, the water in the lake, is not something that simple”

Following his gaze, a few people looked forward, and saw that the child they spoke with before, walking out from the village, traveling towards that lake.

This child is not as lively and agile as before, walking up and down the road shaking to come, eyes obviously lost light.

Behind him, the people in the village all gathered and looked at the child from a distance.

They seemed to be sending him off from afar.

Song Yin’s eyes glowed with a divine light as he said, “That water is not without cost .”

With a flash, he appeared in front of the child and grabbed his hand.

The child’s hand was grabbed, but he seemed to be unaware of it, and continued to take two steps towards the lake until his hand was completely pulled, and then he stopped, but he still didn’t look towards Song Yin, and just stared blankly at the lake.

Song Yin looked toward the group and said, “He’s up to time, right?”

An old man in the village came forward, he was leaning on a broken walking stick, one of his legs was broken, it was wrapped in a white cloth, but there was constantly blood and red printed out from the white cloth.

“The old man is the village chief of this village, I don’t know who you and the others are?”

“I am Song Yin of the Golden Immortal Sect, this time I came here in search of medicinal herbs, and came to find my fellow disciple’s senior sister, and on the way, to remove this harmful lake.” Song Yin looked straight at them and said, “I’m sorry, old man, my senior sister is a Qi Refiner, so I can keep her from dying, but I can’t guarantee that you guys will live.”

What did that mean?
The three people in the back appeared suspicious.

“Dr. Bell, is it your senior sister? Although the people in the village think she’s crazy, I know she’s a good person, it’s good to be able to protect one, after all, this matter has nothing to do with her.”

The village headman lowered his head and smiled bitterly, looking towards the child that Song Yin had grabbed, “This doll’s parents, were also summoned half a year ago, and went to the lake, I had thought that we should have been before him, but it turned out that he was before me and the others.”

In the crowd, there were a few women who covered their faces and cried, and the others were also unable to hide their sadness.

Song Yin just looked at them and didn’t say anything.

The village chief sighed, “It was our sins that led to the current situation, it’s only right to pay the price”

“A few years ago, a traveler came here and brought seeds that were said to be able to ripen four times a year, so the people of the village planted them, and they did have a good harvest in those years, but three years ago, all of a sudden it all changed at once, and the land became what it is now overnight, and nothing could be planted, and not even a drop of rain fell.”

“We tried to leave then, but no matter how we did it, in the end, we’d still end up walking back, we couldn’t get out of this place at all. Not only that…”

The village chief pointed to his own leg, “I was bitten off by a wild animal three years ago, but after that night, until now, my leg has not healed, just like three years ago, constantly dripping blood, suffering pain every day, sometimes I don’t want to live anymore, but I just can’t die. Even if I hanged myself, even if I committed suicide, even if I had my head chopped off, I was still alive.”

“Later on, I didn’t want to die, there were still so many people in the village, as the village chief, I couldn’t just leave it like that.”

“Local drought, we actually can’t starve, but hunger is also there, then we found that as long as we drink the lake water, we will be able to satiate our stomachs, so when you are hungry, drink water on the line, originally thought that this is also not bad, anyway, all can live.”

“But that water in addition to drink, can not do anything, can not be immersed in the earth, can not be daily grooming, my daughter once really can not stand it, ran to the lake, never came out again”

“We later also stay away from that lake, in addition to daily needs, try not to approach the lake, but that is also useless, I do not know when, as long as the time has come, there are people who automatically go to that lake, into the lake, dissipate in it.”

As the village chief said this, a mournful look appeared on his face as he looked towards the lake and sighed long and hard, “O God of the Lake, what on earth are you doing? Is this a punishment for us?”

Seeds?

Zhang Feixuan and Wang Qizheng’s faces didn’t look quite right anymore.

Seeds that ripened four times a year, it seemed like they had heard of it somewhere.

“Senior brother.” Zhang Feixuan looked towards Song Yin.

Song Yin waved his hand, stopping Zhang Feixuan’s words, and said to the village chief, “So that’s how it is, I see”

“That seed, itself, is an evil seed, and in doing so, it seizes the life force of the earth, if it were normal, your land would fall into desolation, thus you and the others would either starve to death or leave your homes, but there is something different.”

Song Yin asked, “This lake, exists for a long time, right?”

“Since I can remember, my grandfather said, this lake exists here for a thousand years, is the lake that we rely on for our livelihood, every year, we will hold a lake festival. In the past, there were also water demon night fork in the lake, but it didn’t harm people, we didn’t mess with it, and we were at peace with each other.”

Said, he also flooded with a bitter smile, “I also think it’s the seed problem, after all, no seed before, nothing happened in this neighborhood, but the seed a little, something happened.”

“A thousand years…”

Song Yin looked toward the lake, slowly said, “Sure enough, I was right, this lake has been born, a thousand years down, you rely on the lake to live, the lake is also due to you and other spirits, into the spirit of the land. But that seed was planted, but it is with this lake to grab the life force”

“It is not punishing you, it is only protecting you, protecting this land.”
