One night, the old Sect Master had just finished her meal. She was sitting on a large wooden chair with her eyes half-closed. Two maids stood behind her and massaged her shoulders." Ring, ring, ring…" The copper bell rang! When the old sect master heard the bell, he knew that it was the bell from the underground secret room construction site. He opened his eyes and stood up to say to the servant girl,
"Let's go! Follow me to the construction site!"
The servant girl handed the phoenix-headed walking stick to the old cult master, and the two of them followed the old cult master to a well not far away. The well was grinding stone sand up. When the brothers guarding the well saw the old cult master arrive, they warmly greeted him,
"Greetings, Old Sect Master! Old Sect Master, you've worked hard!"
"Brothers, you've worked hard! Haha!"
The old sect master returned the greeting.
This was the exit leading to the underground secret chamber to transport sand. After the mud and stones dug out from the basement were transported to the bottom of the well, they were hung on a noose and twisted up to be transported away by the people on the surface. The people working underground were not allowed to come out before they were done, and the people outside were not allowed to enter either. The old cult master and the servant girl sat on the winches and walked forward in the underground tunnel that was several feet deep. The passage was very dark, and only the oil lamp on the wall was used as light. The old sect master soon arrived at the construction site.
A dozen old men in their sixties were having dinner. Life was good. They had a big pot of braised pork, a big plate of bacon, a pot of green vegetables, a big pot of stewed duck, and kaoliang wine. As long as they didn't get drunk, it was fine.
When the people saw the old sect master arrive, they immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up.
"Greetings, Old Sect Master.”
"Hehehe! Sorry to disturb everyone's meal!"
The old sect master apologized to everyone.
"Ah! It's okay, we're almost done eating! I'm sorry to have asked you to come down so late!”
The old man in the lead said.
"Is there a problem? Haha!"
The old sect master asked the foreman with a smile.
The foreman replied,"
"It's like this. We were filing the floor inside just now and found that there was a sound on the ground. We didn't dare to file it anymore and hurriedly informed you to make a decision!”
"Oh! Bring me there!"
After the old cult master finished speaking, he followed the foreman to the stone house inside. The foreman took a hammer and knocked on the floor near the innermost stone wall a few times."Pow, pow, pow" indeed made a few empty sounds. The old sect master instructed,"
"Bring the sledgehammer over and smash it down!”
An old man brought over a large hammer, and everyone stepped back to make way.
"Thump thump…"
The sound of the hammer rang out several times, and the floor cracked open. Boom! A thick cloud of dust rose into the sky. The yellow dust slowly dispersed, and a large hole appeared on the floor.
The old cult master asked the foreman to bring a hemp rope, put it on a stone, and lowered it down to about thirty feet deep. According to the old leader's instructions, the foreman tied a thick hemp rope to a stone pillar and fell down with a torch.
"Old Sect Master! There was a huge hole below, and he wondered where it led to.”
The foreman shouted from below.
"Everyone, take your torches and go down to take a look! The two girls will wait for us here, hehe!”
The old sect master chuckled as he instructed.
Everyone held torches and followed the hemp rope down to the bottom of the cave. Ah! What a huge natural cave. The foreman led the way with a torch in his hand. After making countless turns, they arrived at a slope after walking for more than an hour. Ah! It was a huge pool, and the blue seawater was filled with all kinds of fish. The big ones were so big that they had never seen them before, and the small ones were as small as maggots. Those big guys stopped there with their mouths wide open, allowing the fish to enter their stomachs.
"This damn thing really knows how to enjoy life!”
The old sect master cursed in his heart.
"Old Sect Master, this is where fish lay eggs and reproduce. If we net fish here, we will have endless fish!”
The foreman said to the old sectmaster.
"Yes, that's right! There are so many ready-made fish. They will be the source of our main course in the future, hehehe! Unfortunately, you don't have the fortune to enjoy it!”
The old sect master chuckled.
"No, Old Sect Master, as long as Old Sect Master doesn't mind us getting old, we're willing to stay on this island…!”
Suddenly, a powerful undercurrent surged! A dozen old men standing by the pool were swept up by the undercurrent. " Boom…" With a loud sound, the water in the pool stirred up a white pillar of water that rushed straight to the top of the stone." Hualala…" It splashed into the pool again. The entire pool was instantly filled with surging waves, and the blue seawater instantly turned red…
"I'm sorry, I can only do this!”
The old sect master looked at the slowly calming pool with a dejected expression and muttered to himself. With that, he turned around and left.
The old sect master explained the entire incident to Ren Cong and let out a long sigh. He blamed himself.
"Granny, don't blame yourself. This is something that we have no choice about! For such a place, of course, they had to keep it a secret and keep it safe. If it were me, I would do the same!”
Gai Yiling comforted her mother-in-law.
"Granny is doing this for your grandson's sake, causing you to do such a heartless thing. Now that things have come to this, Granny shouldn't think too much about him. In the future, we can give them amnesia powder so that they won't remember anything from the past!”
Ren Cong said to the old man.
The old sect master said,"
"Of course granny knows, but in such an important place, I have to be careful. If someone had a fortuitous encounter one day and suddenly remembered the past, it would be troublesome. All kinds of strange things could happen in this world. Granny had to be careful!”
The older the ginger, the spicier it was. The few young people could not help but admire the old man's cautiousness. Although they felt that it was too cruel to do so.
Early the next morning, the old sect master led Ren Cong to patrol the various places. The entire island was surrounded by steep cliffs, and only the dock had a small slope. It was as if the stone ladder had exploded, turning it into a cliff.
The island was filled with trees, dense forests, flowers, and plants. Flocks of goats and wild deer were running around, and pheasants and ducks were all over the mountain. More than 500 brothers and 2,000 migrant workers on the island ate these eggs and fish for cooking. They lived a more carefree life than the gentlemen on land.
There was a depression on the island, filled with exotic flowers and plants. It was extremely beautiful. There was a large natural pond in the mountains. Wild ducks and swans were swimming in the green fresh water. If the fertile land was reclaimed, it could provide food for five to ten thousand people. It was truly a small kingdom blessed by the heavens. There was another wonder in the dense forest, which was that all kinds of mushrooms were everywhere. The entire island was about ten square miles in size.
Ren Cong, Gai Yiling, and Xie Xuelian were so happy that they clapped their hands and cheered. If it wasn't for revenge, they really wanted to live in seclusion here.
They arrived at the basement that was heavily guarded by traps. Ren Cong was led by the old cult master to the entrance of the secret room. They arrived at the long underground cave of the secret room. All kinds of traps and secret passages were densely packed, and killing intent was hidden everywhere.
"He wants to build a basement that's exactly the same as the cave Master used. He wants to bring the pool water from there and invite Master over.”
They arrived at the cave entrance that Granny had discovered. Ever since the cave was discovered, this stone house had been closed by the old sect master and no more work had been done. After entering this long cave that was full of crystals and magnificent sights, they soon arrived at the pool on the steep slope. The blue waves rippled and thousands of fish swam around. The fish with various patterns were like a colorful kaleidoscope in all kinds of postures. It was extremely beautiful. Ren Cong, Gai Yiling, and Xie Xuelian were excited to see such a mysterious underground pool.
Ren Cong watched the pool for a while and decided to go to the bottom of the pool to check. The old cult master, Gai Yiling, and Xie Xuelian firmly disagreed. The seawater was unfathomable. What if they encountered a big fish monster? The water was too deep, and getting up to breathe was a problem.
Ren Cong laughed and said,
"Granny, Yiling, Xuelian, don't worry, I'll be fine. I won't do anything I'm not confident in, hahaha!”
As he said that, Ren Cong dove into the sea of fish.
"Ah!" The underwater world was really beautiful. The corals and all kinds of unknown plants rose and fell with the waves. All kinds of schools of fish swam in the transparent water. It was simply a world of fish. There were big fish that were hundreds of feet long, but also several thousand pounds, hundreds of pounds, dozens of pounds, or even smaller. There were red, blue, green, snow-white and transparent ones that could even be seen clearly. There were flowers and black ones. There was everything.
"Ah!" The huge monster in front of them opened its mouth, which was bigger than a house. Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, and it didn't move at all. It allowed the fish to swim into its mouth, but they didn't swim out. All of them entered its huge stomach. This was what it meant by walking into a trap. It was really a ferocious guy.
