Chapter 3093 Old Friend Returns
Ji Jiangli knew that they were about to enter the whirlpool area, so he sat on the boat and was careful not to be shaken into the water.
After her reminder, Yingluo still didn't take it seriously. For a cultivator, this little shaking didn't matter.
Her two feet were still swinging back and forth. Suddenly, the boat shook violently, and Yingluo hurried back to the boat.
Just now, it felt like the whole boat was about to flip over. Fortunately, she reacted in time and didn't fall into the water.
"What? What's going on? Why did the boat suddenly shake so much?"
"I told you to be safe on the boat. The lake here is not as calm as it looks. The situation at the bottom of the lake is very complicated."
Ji Jiangli pointed to the water. The lake was calm before, but now it was foggy.
There was no sign at all. Suddenly, they entered a thick fog and couldn't see what was in front of them.
The visibility was not even more than two meters. In such weather, they still had to row a boat on this lake. Yingluo admired the boatman's strength.
"Will the boatmen get lost in such a thick fog?"
"He has been boating here for more than 30 years. How could he get lost? He can row this route on the water even with his eyes closed."
Yingluo seemed to hear the sound of water flowing. She lay on the side of the boat and stared at the lake.
She saw whirlpools, some as big as millstones, and some as small as washbasins.
Whirls were rotating in the same direction on the water, with a dark hole in the center.
Staring at these dark holes, it felt like the whole person's soul could be sucked into these holes.
"Huh! It feels so weird. How can there be so many whirlpools in this lake?"
Yingluo came back to her senses and didn't dare to continue looking. She continued to lie on the side of the boat and looked, as if she was about to be pulled into the water by these whirlpools.
"There's nothing strange. There are many caves at the bottom of the lake here. There are more than a dozen locations of different sizes, and they are all connected by passages under the water."
Ji Jiangli explained that after more than ten years of absence, there was still no change here.
When she was very young, she once rowed a boat on this lake with her father. She asked her father what was under the water.
Why is this place so strange with so many places? Her father did not explain anything at that time.
He just told her that this place has existed since he came here. As for what is under the lake, he did not know.
But at that time, he warned Ji Jiangli not to leave privately if there was nothing, especially to this lake.
There is a terrible legend about this lake.
"It is also because of this that people living around dare not come here to fish easily. The territory of Dawn is also quiet."
"So that's the case. When I left China, I was still a child. I didn't have a deep impression of China."
Yingluo's eyes showed a trace of sadness, as if she thought of some past experiences and felt a little sad.
At that time, Yingluo was a child in an orphanage, and often lived a life of hunger and cold.
There were so many children in the orphanage, and the things allocated were not enough. She, who was thin, became the weak one among them.
Unable to find food, she had to look through trash cans. On a cold and hungry winter day, she fainted on the roadside.
Ji Jiangli, who was passing by, found Yingluo and did not dislike her because she was dirty, and saved her.
"Master, if you had not saved me, I would have died by now, and I would not be alive until now."
"Silly child, don't think about those unhappy things. If the master is here, you will not suffer."
Ji Jiangli put his hand on his apprentice's shoulder. Yingluo sniffed deeply and smiled.
"I just thought of something at this time. Master, don't worry, I have forgotten those things."
The boatman rowed the boat through the thick fog quickly. When he got out of the fog, he used a stick on the boat to knock on the copper bell hanging on the bow.
A bell rang, indicating that the boat had reached the shore. The crisp bell sound could be heard far away in such a place.
Ji Jiangyue was sitting in the room. She had not done some things that women did for a long time, so her skills were much less sophisticated.
One hand holds a needle, the other hand holds a bamboo ring, and a piece of silk is put on the bamboo ring.
Based on his imagination, he embroidered a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and one of the mandarin ducks has been embroidered.
Leaning against the railing and the window, the peonies planted outside are blooming.
At this moment, the second elder hurriedly ran over from outside, pushed open the door and entered Ji Jiangyue's room.
"Jiang Yue... cough cough... Jiang Yue!"
The second elder ran all the way here, panting.
Ji Jiangyue looked at the second elder in such a hurry, what big thing happened that made him so anxious.
"There is tea in the teapot over there. If there is any situation, you can drink a sip of water first, don't rush it."
The second elder had important news to tell her, and he didn't have time to rest, so he said.
"Jiang Yue... that elder, the second lady is back!"
"What?"
Ji Jiangyue was startled, and the needle in her hand accidentally pierced her finger.
She quickly put down what she was holding, and beads of blood the size of beans appeared on her fingers, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it.
"You didn't hear the news wrongly. She has been away for many years. How could she come back suddenly?"
"The news I got couldn't be wrong. It was sent by the boatman. He has picked up the second lady and is on the way back."
"She? She's back?"
Ji Jiangyue thought of many things in her heart. The two sisters had been separated for more than ten years, and no one had seen each other in these ten years.
She didn't ask about her sister's news, and her sister didn't think about coming back, thinking that they would never meet again in this life.
But at this moment, hearing the news of her sister's return, Ji Jiangyue laughed, and there were two lines of tears on her face.
"Will she come back too?"
"Grand Elder, please come with me. I guess she has already docked now. Let's go to greet her."
"No, I don't need to go."
Ji Jiangyue didn't expect that her sister would come back at this time. The joy on her face before was silent for a moment.
The second elder happily told Ji Jiangyue the news, wanting Ji Jiangyue to go out and greet her together.
It would be great if the conflict between the two sisters could be resolved at this time.
This is also the biggest hope of the two elders. After all, they are sisters and can't go on like this forever.
"What do you mean, elder? The second young lady came back on her own initiative this time. She must have realized that she was wrong. Her coming back represents her attitude of admitting her mistakes."
