Towards Eternity
Ch 629's. A Call
At night, on the shore of Lake Weng.
Weng Lou was in the process of practicing Soul Power when a voice suddenly sounded calling out his name.
He opened his eyes and looked towards the lake with a deep gaze before then closed his eyes again and returned to training.
Shortly after he returned to training, the same voice came back to his ears, but a little louder than before.
"Cabin..ayo, come here....."
This time Weng Lou did not open both of his eyes, and focused himself in his meditation.
After some time had passed, as Weng Lou did not show any response to the call, finally the voice he heard stopped calling him and let Weng Lou train quietly.
The next morning, Weng Lou's eyes opened slowly and gazed towards the lake before him. His gaze was not like last night and a hint of uneasy feeling could be seen in his eyes. The voice he heard last night sounded familiar to him, yet he could not remember who the person who had the voice was.
Finally, throughout the night, he divided his mind tasks. One was to practice Soul Power, while the other was focused on thinking about the owner of the voice he heard.
As of this morning, he had not managed to find a suitable person in his memory who had a voice like the one he had heard last night.
"I'll know who the owner of the sound is when it enters the more distant part of the lake" thought Weng Lou.
Finally he got up to his feet from his place and returned to the place where Weng Ying Luan and Lin Bei were meditating.
His gaze fell on Weng Ying Luan who was still meditating. A little sweat drenched his clothes, and the bottle containing poison in his hand was already completely empty. It seemed like all night he was training while drinking the poison bit by bit.
"You're awake." Lin Bei spoke in a slightly lowered voice, he was unwilling to disturb Weng Ying Luan who was meditating right now.
Weng Lou looked at him and nodded. When he saw Lin Bei, he again thought of the voice he heard last night and could not help but ask Lin Bei.
"Hey, do you know the stories about this lake? I mean, besides being able to get people lost if they fly at night, is there anything weird about this lake?" tanyakanya.
Lin Bei blinked. He was quite surprised Weng Lou asked him this. After traveling with him for a month, Weng Lou rarely spoke to him first to ask him anything. Usually he would talk first before then Weng Lou would start asking.
Thinking for a moment, Lin Bei started thinking about the stories he had heard from Lake Weng. There are many stories with the possibility that the truth of the story is just a made-up story for people to believe. But from so many stories, he had heard two other stories that he had heard from several different people, but with the same core.
"There are two stories, which are really real possibilities about Lake Weng. The first story, I heard it from my subordinates who had been assigned several times outside the Lin Family territory and had to cross Weng Lake. They said that when they flew at night in Weng Lake, they could hear voices calling out to them continuously. Finally out of fear, they decided to return to the edge of the lake, fortunately at that time they were not too far from the edge so that they could return without having been made lost in the middle of the lake.
The second story, I heard it from several members of the Lin Family who were a generation with me. They once got the task of visiting the Wang Family and happened to arrive at night at Lake Weng. They were chasing time, and betting on themselves to fly over the lake at night. Finally, as expected, they got lost all night without being able to find the end of the lake despite already flying in a straight line.
I don't know if their story is true or not, but flying at night on this lake is definitely not safe. Besides being able to get you lost, there were many ferocious beasts inhabiting it. So I'd rather we go when the sun comes up."
Weng Lou nodded in understanding. As he expected, the call he heard last night was not a good thing. Fortunately he managed to refrain from going to look for the source of the sound coming from Lake Weng. He was sure that something was not right about this lake.
Weng Lou and Lin Bei then chose to do some things while waiting for Weng Ying Luan to finish meditating.
Lin Bei was trying to keep himself busy by training his Phoenix power, while Weng Lou, he chose to take a walk around the lake, trying to find something he could make a clue to.
When the sun was already hanging high in the sky, Weng Ying Luan finally finished her meditation.
It seemed that Lin Bei was still busy practicing using the Phoenix Flame several tens of meters away from Weng Ying Luan. Meanwhile, Weng Lou was nowhere to be seen, he had already walked quite a distance along the edge of the beach.
"Hm? Why is the day so bright?" weng Ying Luan asked in a daze.
Lin Bei in the distance realized Weng Ying Luan had already finished her meditation and immediately stopped her practice. He rushed towards Weng Ying Luan with a strange look in his eyes.
He thought that Weng Ying Luan would just stop meditating when it would be dark again, and made them forced to spend another night in this place. This guy really doesn't know when to stop, he thought.
"Hey, where's that stingy guy?" Weng Ying Luan asked Lin Bei.
The stingy person he was referring to was none other than Weng Lou. If Weng Lou heard the mention given by Weng Ying Luan to him, perhaps he would immediately lung at Ying Luan and take back the gloves he made.
Of course, after giving him a few blows.
"Ah, I just realized it. It seems like he went to check the edge of the lake, but subconsciously it had gone too far," replied Lin Bei.
Weng Ying Luan clicked her tongue and began to rise up from her place.
"Let's go find him. I get a bad feeling about this place. This lake was created from the former Weng Family territory that had separated from the Mainland, we do not know what kind of danger is in this lake."
Lin Bei had just realized that he had made a mistake by letting Weng Lou go alone. With him in the lead, he finally went with Weng Ying Luan to look for Weng Lou in the direction where he had last seen her.
While Weng Ying Luan and Lin Bei went to look for the whereabouts of Weng Lou, inside a cave located between the cliffs hidden on the edge of the lake, Weng Lou was seen walking with slow steps observing the mossy walls of the cave.
The cave was quite deep, and so far Weng Lou had walked at least two hundred meters and there was no sign of him reaching the end of the cave. Even the inside of the cave was so dark that Weng Lou had to use his Soul Power to browse through the front of the cave while continuing to walk slowly.
"I want to know how deep this cave is. From what I can see, it seems like it has been a long time since this cave was entered by people. The symbol I found at the entrance of the cave, Samma was exactly the symbol of the Weng Family. This cave must be related to the Weng Family."
