Chapter 1018

"This should be an unboiled water mansion, right?" Han Li suddenly pointed to an area at the bottom of the map after a long while and asked.

"That's right, it's indeed here. But with all due respect, if a distinguished guest is interested in this place, it's pointless to advise you not to try it." The round-faced old man glanced at Han Li and waved his hand with a smile.

"And why?" Han Liqi asked.

"Don't blame your guest. I didn't want to see your bamboo basket fetching water in vain, so I kindly reminded you. This water mansion is not only a true immortal monk, but also a golden immortal monk. Open it. Guess what? The ban on the gate alone blocked everyone, and two unlucky guys tried to forcefully break the ban, but the counterforce of the ban was triggered. One was seriously injured, and the other even lost his life in vain. , even Nascent Soul couldn’t escape.” The round-faced old man shook his head and sighed.

"So that's it. Thank you fellow daoist for reminding me. I'm familiar with the restraining circle, and I'm confident that even if I can't open the mansion, I can still protect myself, so don't worry, fellow daoist, I'll choose this place." Han Li revealed Suddenly, he said again.

"This...then I wish you the best of luck. After paying the fee, fellow Taoist, I will send someone to take you there." Seeing this, the round-faced old man stopped persuading him and said.

After all, in his opinion, he represented the position of the sect and had fulfilled the duty of disclosure. As for the choice of the tenant, he had no control over it. If he said too much, it would make people suspect that he had ulterior motives, which was not beautiful.

After Han Li paid the fee, the round-faced old man stopped greeting him, and only sent a girl in crimson clothes with red lips and white teeth, and ordered him to take Han Li to the bank of Sanjiang Lake.

The girl was not very beautiful, but there were two dimples on her round face, she always seemed to be smiling, making people feel very close at a glance.

Han Li and the young girl flew down Comb Mountain and walked along a path by the lake towards the lake.

"I don't think the distinguished guest is a fool. Why did he choose this Guishou Mansion?" The girl seemed to be cheerful and could not hide her words. She was leading the way ahead and couldn't help asking.

"Ghost Sorrow Mansion? How do you say this, I hope the girl will let you know." Han Li asked with a frown.

"It is the water mansion chosen by the distinguished guest, because since the water mansion was made public, no one has been able to open it throughout the ages. On the contrary, many people have been injured or even lost their lives in vain. There is a name of 'Ghost Sorrow Mansion' in it. By the way, this is not its official name. If the distinguished guests can open it, they can give it an auspicious and festive name." The girl explained with a slightly teasing tone Said.

"Oh, 'Ghost Sorrow Mansion' is a good name, so let's call it that." Han Li thought for a while and said seriously.

"This...it's not that the servant is talking too much. We should wait for the honored guest to really open the water mansion before discussing the matter of naming. Alas...if the honored guest is willing to listen to my advice and go down to the bottom of the lake for a while, don't force yourself. If you don't want to control it, let go and come back quickly, don't force it." The girl seemed to think of something, and advised her.

"By the way, what's your name?" Han Li glanced at the girl and asked with a smile.

The girl was slightly taken aback when she heard this, it seemed that all the distinguished guests she had met over the years had always regarded him as a servant leading the way, but no one had ever asked her name.

"My servant's name is Hu Xiaocheng." After a little hesitation, the girl said with some embarrassment.

"Xiaocheng... A little success, a little wealth will be safe. It's a good name that can be stable for a lifetime." Han Li nodded thoughtfully, and said slowly.

After that, he fell silent, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart, and thought of another name, Ye Susu.

Just at the end of last month, he heard a message from some sources:

It is said that half a year ago, Qinghu City was suddenly hit by a natural disaster in one day, and the whole city was burned in a big fire.

After hearing this, he just thought about it a little bit, calculated the time, and naturally understood what happened, that's why he had today's trip to the Three Rivers and Lakes.

Seeing that Han Li's expression was different, the girl wisely stopped talking and just led the way silently.

After coming to a lakeside square by the Sanjiang Lake, the cool breeze blew over from the lake, which made the girl named Hu Xiaocheng feel very comfortable. She couldn't help stretching her waist and took a deep breath. .

Looking at the sparkling lake surface, Han Li also felt a long-lost sense of refreshment, and the haze that had lingered in his heart these days also faded a bit.

"My dear guest, we're here. Go down from the water in front and keep sneaking for less than a thousand feet, and you'll be able to reach the Guichou Mansion." After stretching his waist, Hu Xiaocheng turned to look at Han Li, and said.

"I'm sorry. Please wait here for a while. I'll come back as soon as I go." Han Li nodded and said.

After all, without waiting for Hu Xiaocheng's answer, he jumped up and plunged into the water.

"Small……"

As a result, as soon as Hu Xiaocheng uttered a word, before he could speak, Han Li disappeared.

She curled her lips helplessly, and muttered in a low voice: "Why are you so impatient, I haven't even mentioned the precautions, but the phrase 'go and return' is quite like a great master, maybe..."

Speaking of this, she couldn't continue. After all, this is the "Ghost Sorrow Mansion" that made Jinxian come back. This distinguished guest looks ordinary. I am afraid that his cultivation is not high, at most he is only in the late stage of the real fairyland. ? How could it be possible to open this water mansion? It's just a dream!

"I just hope that he can retreat in spite of the difficulties and return safely." Hu Xiaocheng just said quietly, when a wave of water suddenly erupted on the lake in front of him, and a figure fell beside her.

When the girl rubbed her eyes vigorously and saw clearly that the person next to her was Han Li, she was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile:

"Come back so soon? I thought you would have to try for at least a few hours before giving up, but it's good, at least you're not trapped by the restriction. It's really lucky."

"You little girl, you are not very old, and you have a lot of twists and turns in your heart. Go and call your elders, and tell me that I have to pay the opening fee." Han Li raised his hand to touch Hu Xiaocheng's forehead, and said with a smile.

"What...you mean already..." Hu Xiaocheng said in disbelief with his eyes widened.

"Let's go." Han Li said with a noncommittal smile.

Only then did Hu Xiaocheng shake his head, turn around and fly towards Comb Mountain.

Not long after, the round-faced elder, who was also full of surprise and suspicion, flew back to the lake with Hu Xiaocheng.

After he went into the water to check it himself, he finally believed that Han Li had really broken the restriction of the water mansion here. Too much, naturally set off a wave of ups and downs in my heart.

After Han Li paid a sum of immortal essence stones, the round-faced elder said happily:

"This Water Mansion will belong to Fellow Daoist Han within three years. As I said before, all the treasures produced here, as long as they do not involve the continued existence of the Water Mansion, will belong to Fellow Daoist Han alone."

"Thank you." Han Li clasped his fists and said.

"By the way, once this water palace is opened, I hope fellow Taoists will give it a name." The round-faced elder nodded and said again.

Han Li glanced at the girl and said, "Let's call it Guichou Mansion."

The round-faced elder was suffocated when he heard the words, but nodded without saying anything else, and then left.

"Xiao Cheng, you will serve fellow Daoist Han for the time being. If you have any needs, please report to the sect." Before leaving, he told the girl.

"Obey." Hu Xiaocheng saluted quickly and said.

Han Li didn't refuse, but nodded slightly.

"How about it, do you want to visit the Guicho Mansion?" Han Li said to Hu Xiaocheng after the round-faced elder left.

The latter nodded heavily upon hearing this.

Han Li raised his hand and grabbed Hu Xiaocheng's shoulders, a layer of blue light enveloped the two of them at the same time, they jumped and fell into the lake.

In the upper layer of the lake, sunlight still shines in, and the further you go down, the darker it becomes.

Hu Xiaocheng led people the way before, but he has been to other water mansions, but he has never been so deep as today, so he opened his eyes wide and looked around.

In the water of the lake, there are broken mountain peaks everywhere, some of which are still slightly in their original shape, while others are torn apart and turned into short bumps of soil.

On top of these mountain peaks, clusters of light are shining scatteredly. If you look carefully, you can see light curtains of various colors everywhere, and the water houses that have been opened up are covered inside.

Most of these water palaces are extremely far away from here, and they look like stars in the sky at night.

Han Li led Hu Xiaocheng to dive all the way to the bottom of the water, and came to a small hill that looked only tens of feet high.

Hu Xiaocheng looked intently, and saw that the top of the hill was covered with a light curtain, and a narrow and long courtyard built against the mountain could be vaguely seen inside.

Han Li pulled her arm, and with a jerk, he suddenly broke through the water waves and rushed into the light curtain.

Once entering the light curtain, the feeling of being surrounded by lake water disappeared immediately.

After the two landed on a square in front of the courtyard, Han Li immediately removed the light curtain covering them.

"The Patriarch's Hall... This is actually the Patriarch's Hall of that sect?" Hu Xiaocheng looked at a plaque on the gate of the courtyard in front of him, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Otherwise, why do you think that no one has been able to break the restriction here for so many years?" Han Li laughed.

"Since that's the case, how did you break the restriction here, honored guest?" Hu Xiaocheng asked without thinking.

"I read a lot." Han Li replied with a smile.

He had actually seen the protection array of this sect's ancestor hall in ancient books, and it wasn't a mountain protection array after all. In addition, he already knew some methods of breaking the ban, so it didn't take too much effort to decipher it.

"Then distinguished guest, you really made a lot of money this time! It is said that in the Zongmen Patriarch Hall, there are usually Zongmen secret books and heavy weapons..." Hu Xiaocheng said enviously.
