"Girl, you can't do this, your life is at stake!" The boatman quickly tried to dissuade him, "This is no joke, someone really died because of this..."
"It's okay, I'm just curious. If you're afraid, just get close to there and I'll get there by myself." Hua Xi said with a smile.
The boatman forced a smile and thought to himself, this girl is really brave!
Since she wants to go, let her go and see. He is not responsible for what happens.
The boatman rowed the boat to the courtyard in the center of the lake. He did not dare to get too close and said kindly: "Girl, just stand far away and take a look. Don't..."
Before the boatman finished speaking, suddenly a gust of wind blew over, which was cool. The boatman opened his eyes and saw that the girl who had been standing on the bow of the boat had disappeared.
"Oh! I met a living god!" The boatman was shocked.
In this world where the gods have completely disappeared from the mainland, many masters have also gone into hiding, and the demons cling to their own territory and rarely come out.
The demon clan is also outside the poisonous fog forest, the ghost clan has always maintained a mysterious and low profile, and the beast clan has never appeared.
There are only humans and some cultivators on the continent.
However, the magic is gradually declining, and five hundred years has been enough to change a lot.
The boatman quickly knelt down and kowtowed. He didn't know which god he had offended, and he hoped he would not be punished.
The entire villa is built in the middle of Jinghu Lake, without any access to the outside world. Except for fixed boats, no boats will come close to it.
This seems to be a place forgotten by the world.
Hua Xi stood in the courtyard without encountering any guards. He walked through a garden and saw several wooden buildings, one of which was built near the water and connected to the garden.
Two maids stood outside with their heads bowed, making no sound, making the atmosphere in the courtyard lifeless.
After a while, a maid came out carrying a tray with an empty medicine bowl on it. She didn't say anything, and left in a hurry as if she had completed some kind of task.
There is a kind of cautious fear and avoidance on everyone's face, as if they don't dare to face anything.
Hua Xi glanced at them, then went in without anyone noticing.
There is also a smaller courtyard inside, with a wooden corridor that you can walk all the way to the waterside of Mirror Lake.
It's very cold at Jinghu Lake this season, and the wind blows from afar, bringing with it bursts of chill.
But the wind was crisp and clear, bringing with it the distant singing of the lotus-picking girl.
Hua Xi walked down the stairs with very light steps that would hardly attract anyone's attention.
When her eyes could slowly reach the lowest point, she saw a purple robe lying on the damp floor, with the corners scattered.
A man sat on a chair with his back to her, motionless, letting the wind on the lake blow his long black hair.
Alone, thin and lonely,
A person looks at the vast lake, coming and going, but they are just boats that dare not approach in the distance. What is there to see?
But he kept looking like that.
The demeanor of the God King in the past has long since disappeared, and all that remains is the lonely figure of a mortal.
He was once unmatched by the world's scenery, and mortals were not even qualified to look up to him.
During the sky survey ceremony, golden lotuses bloomed everywhere, and the six realms paid homage.
The sun, moon, stars, and everything in the world are all under his control.
But now, there is no one around him.
Hua Xi didn't know how long she stood there looking at him.
