Everyone smelled the aroma of food wafting in the air, and everyone quickened their pace. Gu Shiyi's eyes turned blue with hunger, and he ran two steps quickly and came to the steward. The steward glanced at her and gave her a rough bowl,

"What's your name?"

"Gu..."

Gu Shiyi's head was so hungry that he almost gave his real name.

"Li...Li Yan'er..."

"Why does it sound like a woman's name? Are you a woman?"

The steward looked up and down Gu Shiyi, who was dressed in rags, and Gu Shiyi smiled.

"My family was too poor to make ends meet, so I took a girl's name!"

"Ok!"

The person in charge didn’t ask any more questions and motioned to the person holding the pen behind him to write down his name.

"Go!"

Let Gu Shiyi go in to eat.

The Gu family has a daily system of touching stones. You work for one day, eat one day, and receive one day's pay. So you register at the steward's office every morning. After dinner, you touch the stones in the water. After you carry the stone back, someone will put a stroke under your name. When you leave when it gets dark, you can go to the steward to check out!

Gu Shiyi took the big bowl and trotted all the way to several huge wooden barrels. There was a woman holding a ladle. She ladleed a full bowl of rice for her, and poured a big ladle of broth on it, and there were big chunks. There was meat and vegetables. Gu Shiyi took the chopsticks and squatted beside them to eat.

She was already starving, and she wolfed down the food so much that when the people who came after her prepared their meals and squatted on the roadside to eat like her, she had already gotten up to get the second bowl.

When you work in the Gu family, you have enough food. I am not afraid of you eating, but I am afraid that you will not work after eating!

Gu Shiyi ate five bowls in a row before burping and handing the bowl back to the steward. The steward had noticed this guy who was probably here to get some food and asked her,

"I've eaten?"

Gu Shi nodded,

"I've eaten!"

"After you eat, go to work!"

With that said, someone gave Gu Shiyi two bamboo baskets and a palm-wide belt. Before going into the water, he had to tie the belt around his waist and hang the bamboo baskets on it.

Gu Shiyi took it and went to the lake.

At this time, the sky was bright. She stood by the lake and looked into the distance. The beautiful Blue Moon Lake was right in front of her.

This large lake is shaped like a crescent moon, with sharp points at both ends and an open middle. The open area is more than a hundred miles, the narrow area is only one mile, but it is two to three hundred miles long. Because of the blue moonstone at the bottom of the lake, the lake is blue in color. , the shallow part of the water is light blue, and the deep part of the water is dark blue, and because this stone field has been collecting blue moon stones for many years, the nearby stones have long been exposed to the gray bottom of the lake, so this piece of lake water It is gray and white in color. From the sky, it looks like this beautiful blue moon has been chewed by someone. It is very disgraceful!

"Stop dawdling, get in the water quickly!"

A supervisor was waving a whip to urge them. Many people had already taken off their clothes and slowly walked into the shallow water with bamboo baskets on their waists. Gu Shiyi walked aside while carrying two bamboo baskets.

When the overseer saw it, he shouted,

"Then boy...where are you going?"

Gu Shiyi turned around and said,

"The stones here have been collected for a long time, little man, go to the deep water over there!"

The reason why this place became a rock-touching field is because it is a shallow shoal with gentle terrain. People who touch rocks can go all the way from shallow to deep. However, if you are only a hundred feet away from here, the lake there will be dark blue. The deeper you go, the deeper it will be. It was pitch dark. There were many blue moon stones here, but very few people dared to touch the stones here.

There are not only stones in Blue Moon Lake, but also many ferocious fishes living in it. There are also undercurrents and whirlpools at the bottom of the lake. People without any skills dare not go deep!

However, every year there are a few people who feel that they have outstanding diving skills and dare to go to deep water to touch rocks, but not many can come out of it intact!

When the supervisor saw Gu Shiyi going into the deep water, he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth and sneered,

"Hehe, another one who is not afraid of death!"

Gu Shiyi stayed away from the crowd and hid behind a big rock. He took off his wide and tattered coat, revealing the short inner coat. The fullness of his chest could not be covered immediately. "Eleven, you..." Do you really want to go into deep water?"

Li Yaner was a little worried. Gu Shiyi tied his belt and said,

"Don't worry, I heard from my elders when I was a child that the undercurrents and whirlpools of this lake are regular. In the early years, our Yuan Ying ancestor specially explored the terrain of this lake and even drew a map. To make a mark, I heard an elder say that there is an undercurrent here, which is formed by a spring at the bottom of the lake. It rushes from the ground to the lake surface. After reaching the lake surface, it hits the rocks on the shore and then turns downward. If someone If you happen to be under this undercurrent, you will be pushed straight to the bottom of the lake by the huge water pressure. If you don't know how to leave the scope of the undercurrent, you will be suffocated to death at the bottom of the water because you can't float up..."

After that, he went to the waterside and moved his hands and feet while saying,

"I remember that on the shore here, the undercurrent comes from the east. When it encounters rocks in the shallows here, it turns back, then gets sucked into the depths of the lake bottom, and then surges up..."

In short, there is a spring at the bottom of the lake, and the water column rushing up is like a flower, and the undercurrent is like a petal spreading out in all directions, and then curling up...

People who don't know the inside story go into the water and are swept into the bottom of the lake by the undercurrent. They are panicked and nine out of ten are at a loss. They don't know how to look for the pattern of the water flow. But if you really know the direction of the water flow, follow the direction of the water flow. If you swim, you can actually return to the lake safely.

Of course, because you have to stay at the bottom of the lake for a long time, and the time you can hold your breath has exceeded the limit of ordinary mortals, mortals have never really figured out the direction of the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake, and cultivators do not need to go into the water to touch the rocks themselves, so the secret of Blue Moon Lake Only a few people in the Gu family knew about it, and they never told outsiders.

Gu Shiyi had enough activities. After carefully checking the rope around his neck and the waterproof oilcloth bag, he inserted the newly acquired demon-conquering pestle into his waist.

"Yan'er, I'm in the water, be careful and don't get out and be washed away by the water!"

The Blue Moon Lake is so big that Yan'er is going to be washed away. She really won't be able to find her back!

"Well, don't worry!"

Li Yaner replied in the bag, and Gu Shiyi was relieved to get into the water.

At this time of year, the lake water was already very cold. Ordinary people would be frozen stiff within a moment of entering the water. However, for Gu Shiyi, this was not a problem at all. After entering the water, she paddled on the water for a while to get used to it. When the water was warm, I took a deep breath, turned over, and dived headfirst into the water.

Because of the blue moon stone, the bottom of the lake was faintly glowing, so even ordinary mortals could clearly see what was going on at the bottom of the lake. Gu Shiyi went down with a sudden movement, dived five feet into the water, then changed direction and swam forward. Not long after, she felt a wave of water pressure coming from above her head, and then her body seemed to be pressed by a big hand, and she quickly fell towards the bottom of the water...

This feeling... is like jumping into a waterfall in the mountains. Under the huge water pressure, a mortal body is completely vulnerable. Fortunately... Gu Shiyi is not an ordinary person. After eating the spiritual grass, her demon bloodline will disappear. The advantages began to show.

Not only can she hold her breath longer now, but her body can swim freely under the strong water pressure. She can even reach out to catch the big fish swimming by when she has time.

This kind of big fish that lives in Blue Moon Lake can grow to the size of an adult, has a huge mouth, rough skin and thick flesh, and is extremely powerful, so it can swim freely in the countless undercurrents and vortices at the bottom of the lake.

When this big fish, which was thicker than Gu Shiyi, squirmed and slowly passed by Gu Shiyi, he rolled his eyes and glanced at her curiously. Gu Shiyi smiled at it and vomited in his mouth. A string of bubbles, and then reached out to grab its dorsal fin. The big fish was frightened, flicked its tail and slapped Gu Shiyi two feet away, then rolled his eyes at her and disappeared into the deep blue.

Gu Shiyi laughed silently, blowing bubbles while letting his body fall to the bottom of the lake. The bottom of the lake here is not too deep, but it is only about ten feet or more than thirty meters. For ordinary mortals, it is possible to dive This is already the limit, but if you want to fill two baskets of stones and swim back, it will really cost your life!

But Gu Shiyi was not afraid. She sank to the bottom of the lake and began to pick up stones. Those that were too big could not be put down, and those that were too small were useless. She picked some medium-sized stones and put them into the basket on her waist.

No one was mining here at all, and there were so many stones that they were just like sand. Gu Shiyi picked them up and filled two baskets. After that, she did not turn back to the lake, but felt the stones and went to the deeper bottom of the lake. When she entered In the darkness where even the light of the blue moonstone could not penetrate, she felt something in the water where she could not see her fingers. Sure enough, she felt that there was an undercurrent surging upward from the bottom of the lake in the distance. Gu Shiyi He paddled his limbs toward the undercurrent.

With such a depth of lake water, you can't see anything at all. You can only confirm the direction and position by mobilizing your whole body's senses to feel the flow of water at the bottom of the lake.

Fortunately, the lake here is too deep and too cold, and the fish in the lake will not reach here, so Gu Shiyi is not worried about encountering vicious man-eating fish. When her body enters an upward current, When she was hit, her body felt light, and then she floated upwards. By this time, the breath in Gu Shiyi's chest was almost gone, and she began to feel suffocated!

So Gu Shiyi began to paddle her hands and feet to float upward. When she rushed out of the lake with the current, she found that she was already on the water far away from the shallows.

No one paid attention here. Gu Shiyi swam back to the shore and hid the stone in the cracks of the big rocks on the shore. After that, he went back and forth three times before returning to the shore, taking off his clothes and wringing them out before putting them on again. Come on, there is no fire here, so she can only rely on the heat of her body to dry her inner clothes. Fortunately, she is strong, otherwise she will catch the cold in just one moment. When the inner clothes are half dry, she puts on the loose clothes After taking off his coat, he pretended to be out of breath and carried two baskets of blue moon stones over to do business.

The supervisor was very surprised when he saw her coming back.

"Boy, you have some skills... you can actually come out of deep water..."
