At the foot of a lush mountain is seen a vast expanse of brownish color in the afternoon sun due to the leaves that dry up due to autumn. To the south there is a towering rock cliff, it looks like the cliff wall as a lake barrier from the high ground. Around the lake itself a lot of small boulders scattered, scattering the stones arranged in nature, instead of being an ugly sight, but that's where the attraction is. That is the amazing art of nature!
While along the edge of the lake looks white sand like a rug that covers the surface of the ground. In the view of people, the atmosphere of the lake is like a beach. The area of the lake was probably over fifty acres. To the east there is a torrent of water from the outside, it seems that the flow of water comes from the mouth of the river that stretches long and has a waterfall.
“Excellent, this place is like in heaven!” Inner of a young man with sparkling eyes. He was also so amazed, that when he took a breath felt by him his body trembled.
The admiration of this young man was well-founded. Around the lake there are many large stones, the atmosphere of this lake is arguably crowded, especially the number of fishermen who use this lake to make a living. The water in the lake is completely clear, if only the depth of the lake is no more than five spears (1 spear \= 2 meters) or less than that, of course the lake bottom can be seen. But the depth of the lake is probably more than twenty spears, when looking down that looks only a layer of beautiful bluish green, but it's terrible if there are people who can't swim or have memories of drowning.
Somewhat long ago this young man was amazed by the beauty of the lake. Suddenly he jumped high and threw himself into the lake.
The old man who had been standing next to him also looked stunned. He had indeed long been confined in his busy life taking care of the sect, so this kind of scene made his eyes become fresh and peaceful. How wonderful if in his old age like this he can spend time with a quiet life.
“Look, the birds just fly around each other.
But me, I keep getting entangled by the desolate.
Blue soot indeed refreshes this butut body.
But this heart still feels alone.
Oh, I'm ashamed to admit, though,
That I envy the dancing fish.”
Hearing the words in verse, the old man was aghast from his daydream. He smiled amusedly when he saw the young man who came with him swimming while laughing trying to chase the fish.
“Something silly teacher crazy student crazy. Hahaha.” Laughing the old man turned his gaze around the lake, he looked for fishermen who might be willing to rent out his boat.
His gaze was then fixed on a dark-skinned thin man, the man was walking towards the boat while carrying a mesh.
“Sorry..” scold this old man politely at the skinny man who was pushing the boat into the water.
The skinny man stopped pushing, he turned his head. “Ya, can I help you?”
“Is this your boat?"
“Oh, of course. Why?” the man replied rather surprised.
“Can I rent your boat?” Ask the old man again.
“Can sir. But right now I have to catch fish to sell.." The man stuttered a bit.
“Actually we only want to cross this lake. If you want to find fish, we also do not mind waiting.”
As the fisherman was thinking, the old man stretched out his hand. “This as your boat rental service at once to pay for your energy deliver us.”
“This... this is too much sir.” This fisherman was shocked and happy. He felt that the old man who wanted to rent his boat had wrongly paid.
“Receive it! Consider today your lucky day.” The old man said with a friendly smile.
“Thank you sir..” The fisherman looks happy not to be a bitch. He hurriedly kept the gold piece in his hand behind the clothes he was wearing.
As the fisherman pushed his boat back into the water, the old man sent out sound waves that only the young man could hear, who was still swimming in the lake.
“Let's gentlemen..”
That afternoon the atmosphere around the lake was so cool and comfortable. The old man who was none other than Patriarch Dai Wubai of the Sacred Sword sect was completely blown away by the sight surrounding the well. In front of him lay a very high wall, the wall was a cliff that became one of the natural barrier walls of the lake.
Patriarch Dai Wubai felt that his body and soul had already fused with the natural beauty of Lake, he was completely stunned. His heart calmed down, he realized that God is Existent and Almighty.
Along the way, the fisherman told him at length about the lake and the wall. It is said that the lake is actually very wide, but because of a powerful earthquake hundreds or even thousands of years ago, then in the middle of the lake was filled with soil, rocks and rocks that were hundreds of years ago. Ingested by age, the heap eventually eroded little by little and formed a cliff wall, high from the surface of the lake about twenty spears.
Judging from the height of the cliff wall, Patriarch Dai Wubai could imagine how devastating the earthquake had once struck the area. Where the story comes from, no one knows, they all believe the story because behind the cliff there is still another lake called Telaga Bening. Based on the distance between the cliffs of this Lake wall to the cliffs of the walls of Clear Lake, then the story is worth considering, because except the earthquake that is so terrible that it rips off the entire surface of the world, so the story is worth considering, there is no way a lake can be separated by a rock cliff that wide.
But Patriarch Dai Wubai looked seriously in response to the story. His instincts sensed faintly that there was a strange energy at the bottom of the well. Whether it came from a demon or an heirloom object, he could not confirm it.
Meanwhile, the slum-clothed youth was full of patches here, not caring about the natural beauty of the surroundings. He was like a sleeping person leaning on the front deck of a boat, his eyes tightly clenched yet strangely his lips twitched like he was saying something.
The fisherman stopped his boat in the middle of the lake, he started picking up the nets. Even if his hand moved, the big mesh expanded.
“Master, can you please help me lift this mesh?!” The fisherman cried, he looked troubled and tried hard to pull the mesh from the water. The boat they were riding on even tilted due to the pull.
Patriarch Dai Wubai regained his senses from his daydream, he glanced at the seedy young man, flinging a smile on his lips. This Patriarch of the Sacred Sword Sect knew that it was the young man who had made matters that caused the fisherman's net to be heavy.
Patriarch Dai Wubai extended his right hand touching the fisherman's shoulder. Although only a touch but as a result the fisherman felt there was a great power that made his body suddenly able to pull the heavy mesh to be light.
The eyes of the fisherman to buyak did not believe what he saw. As long as he fished, only this time he got a very abundant result. In a single mesh alone, hundreds of fish were entangled in it. When the catch was put into the boat, the small boat was filled to half.
“Once again catch this boat full.. I can go back home and be rich.” So thought the fisherman, then he paddled his boat to another major.
Until somewhere he felt good he was ready to take the mesh. But suddenly his pair of eyes glanced towards the young man who slept on his boat. He sure felt someone's touch on his waist.
“Not enough of your catch? Greed can put you in danger.”
The fisherman stared fixedly at the young man who was seen still sleeping in his sleep. He frowned, he was sure that the voice earlier was that of the young man. But why didn't he see the young man move his lips?
“If you throw the net again, your boat will sink. Don't you see this boat is no longer capable of carrying a load. Are you sure you'll catch some more fish? If so then not only your boat sank but your catch fish will also come off and you yourself will not necessarily be able to go home safely.”
Now realize the fisherman. Although I don't know who actually spoke, the words are true. So he thought it was better to take his passengers across, so the load on his boat would be reduced and he could catch more fish.
Arriving at the edge of the lake, the slum youth who was none other than Xiao Zhiyuhan aka the Poet Swordsman stared lazily at the waiter who had pedaled the boat back to the middle of the lake.
“It turns out greed is not only owned by those who are rich and have a position.” His his hissing while shaking his head and then twisting his body was about to continue the journey.
“That's how human nature is, when getting a favorable opportunity, those who look up to wealth will be easily tempted. They will do anything even if they have to do the cull and sacrifice their own safety.” Reply to Patriarch Dai Wubai, then he continued. “Do you also feel that there is a strange energy at the bottom of this lake?”
Zhiyuhan nodded, “Ennerya felt faint but I suspect that energy is like the energy possessed by a smoke creature that the other day made matters in front of your sect, cake. It might also be demonic beast energy. At a glance.”
“Are you sure!?” Patriarch Dai Wubai clenched his hands, turning to stare into the well.
Zhiyuhan raised his shoulder, “Entahlah, but I was trying to lure him out. But the creature seems to be busy or maybe not interested in making business with this land swordsman who is considered weak.”
“Alright, then we wait until he comes out. Or need us to come to him.”
“Wait for cake! Our goal here is to ascertain the legendary heirloom shards that exist in the Lightning Valley Sect. The creature's problem, we take care of it afterwards.”
