Not long after, Wan'er helped the young master and walked over.
Wan'er said: "Old six and seven, the young master has something to say to you."
The young master waved his hand and said to Wan'er: "Please step back."
Wan'er was stunned for a moment and said: "But young master..."
"Stand back." The young master's voice was not loud, but his tone was unquestionable.
Wan'er didn't dare to say anything and retreated obediently.
There was no expression on the young master's calm face. His eyes were misty and lifeless.
Lao Liu and Lao Qi have never interacted with the young master, so they don't understand what the young master wants from them.
"You two are the sixth and seventh old men?"
"Young Master, that's right." they replied.
The young master said: "When I came to worship Cui'er that day, you all saw Ruyi's reaction with your own eyes. Do you two still remember what she said to me that day?"
Lao Liu and Lao Qi were frightened, thinking that the young master might have come to punish him.
"Remember...remember..." the two said in unison.
"Ruyi is right. I do have ghost energy in me," the young master said.
The two of them were greatly surprised. They never expected that the young master would say this. When they were panicking, they heard the young master say: "Although my eyes are blind, my heart is not blind. This is definitely not what it seems on the surface."
It's so simple. I think Ruyi must know something."
Lao Liu said: "Back to the young master, the Taoist priest said that Ruyi has been taken away as a sacrifice by the Lake God. I don't know whether she is alive or dead... Even if she knows something, she can't tell the young master!"
The young master said: "I'm looking for you two just for this matter. As long as you two are free, you will go to the lake to investigate. You will definitely rescue Ruyi."
Lao Qi looked troubled and said: "Master, Ruyi is like a biological sister to us brothers. If we can save her, we will spare no effort. But... now her whereabouts are unknown, and we really don't know how to save each other...
"
The young master said: "I know, I don't mean to force this matter. But I feel... Ruyi is not dead... Just come to the lake more often..."
After the young master finished speaking, he greeted Wan'er, who was waiting in the distance, and left without saying another word.
Lao Liu and Lao Qi found it a bit unbelievable that strange things had happened in one day, and the young master, who was always known for his calmness, seemed to be in a daze.
After everyone by the lake had almost left, Lao Liu and Lao Qi tidied up the collapsed courtyard, salvaged some usable things, and then shouted Ruyi's name at the edge of the lake at the top of their lungs.
"As you wish! As you wish!"
…
Ruyi opened her eyes, but felt extremely cold and found herself lying in a mass of water plants. Surrounded by the dark lake water like ink.
The more she struggled, the tighter she became bound by the waterweed.
She spit out a string of bubbles, and the lake water filled her mouth and nose, and she almost drowned.
At this time, a white shadow flashed before her eyes, and then she felt a tearing pain behind her ears, as if someone was carving words behind her ears with a knife.
She almost fainted from the pain and wanted to scream. She opened her mouth and poured more water into her mouth.
She inhaled the lake water and exhaled it. After a while, she felt that the feeling of drowning slowly subsided, and her body did not seem to reject the surrounding lake water so much.
Inhaling and exhaling, she relaxed and relaxed properly. Ruyi was surprised to find that she could breathe in the water.
The water plants that bound her hands and feet slowly spread away. She broke away and reached behind her ears to feel something like fish gills. The three-leaf thing would flutter with every breath she took.
