Chapter Eight: The Secret Chamber at the Bottom of the Lake

Tang Lu replied, "I like catching ghosts, but please don't call me 'little girl' anymore. I'm twenty this year,

not young anymore!"

Shui Linfeng chuckled mischievously, "Then what should I

call you?" Tang Lu blushed and said, "Call me whatever you call Ma Yingfei in private!"

Shui Linfeng was taken aback, then quickly realized and said, "No! If I call you that, what if you marry a

ruthless person and come to Nantian to beat me up? That would be terrible. Just call me Tang Lu properly!"

Tang Lu naturally took Shui Linfeng's large hand, and they walked inside side by side. She chuckled softly, "Tang Lu, in this

life, I will marry no one but you!"

Shui Linfeng grinned mischievously, "That's even more unacceptable! Marrying a tigress would ruin my entire happiness!"

Tang Lu kicked Shui Linfeng, saying, "I'm not a tigress at all. Actually, I'm very gentle.

If you obediently marry me, as long as you pay your dues, I won't

ask about your 'double peaches' or 'madam' stuff! I'm just afraid you won't be able to handle it yourself! Hehe!"

Shui Linfeng turned around and took her soft, smooth hand in his. The two walked and chatted, and Shui Linfeng laughed:

"If you really don't ask, I might actually consider marrying you. You little hussy, with such a fiery temper, you must

be quite something in bed!"

Tang Lu gritted her teeth and said, "You dead man! You're talking nonsense again! I'm still a virgin! What do you mean by 'quite something in bed

'! Luckily, these words came from your dead man's mouth. If it were someone else, I would beat them to a pulp!

Humph—!"

Shui Linfeng tightened his grip on her hand and laughed, "Oh my! A virgin at twenty! My apologies!

So young lady! Old maid! What would you like to eat for dinner tonight? You don't just want bananas, do you? Hehe!"

Tang Lu didn't understand. She and Shui Linfeng walked hand in hand to the small restaurant on the second floor of the main building. Reluctantly,

she let go of Shui Linfeng's hand, and the two sat down facing each other properly.

Tang Lu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "There's nothing in particular I want to eat. Didn't you just say you were going to have pigeon in a pot

? Let's have pigeon! We can also have a plate of fragrant sliced vegetables, a few light vegetarian dishes, a bottle of good

fruit wine , and some millet porridge! What's the point of bananas this season? How about a couple of slices of watermelon after dinner

?"

Shui Linfeng chuckled, and Tao Hualang, standing by the table, also grinned. Tang Lu widened her phoenix eyes, asking curiously

, "Did I say something wrong? What's so funny?"

Shui Linfeng slightly... He laughed, "Peach Blossom Wave! Did you hear what Miss Tang ordered? Do

n't Tell the chef to prepare it! Oh, and get me a big, fat, cooked chicken, a large plate of sliced beef, and a

fresh carp from the lake. After we've eaten, Miss Tang and I can go for a stroll in the backyard!"

It was the middle of the sixth lunar month in Daze, the night was as still as water, and in the backyard, near the water and by the lotus pond, the faint fragrance of lotus blossoms

carried on the gentle breeze from the lake refreshed everyone. The lake was filled with the constant croaking of frogs, and the carved railings and painted pavilions made it seem like a fairyland.

Shui Linfeng and Tang Lu were half-lying, half-sitting on the luxurious sofa, idly turning on the television opposite them,

watching programs absentmindedly. On the long table in front of them were two cups of tea and a small table of fruit and snacks.

Smelling the faint, smiling fragrance of lotus blossoms mixed with the scent of flowers, he shook Tang Lu, who was nestled in his arms with her eyes closed as if dozing, and said:

"Don't actually fall asleep, we still have to catch ghosts later!"

Tang Lu closed her phoenix eyes and pouted, "No! With a big pervert next to me, how can I sleep peacefully?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "The fragrance of the Michelia champaca that your cultivated body emits smells like

aged wine, truly intoxicating!"

Tang Lu whispered, "I can let you enjoy it for a lifetime! Okay?"

Shui Linfeng chuckled, "It's good! I'm just afraid you'll control me too much, I can't stand it!" Tang

Lu said sweetly, "No! Hmm—! So comfortable!"

With a beauty in his arms and a sweet fragrance wafting around him, Shui Linfeng finally couldn't resist any longer. His devilish hand slowly crawled up to Tang Lu's thigh in her

pleated phoenix-tail skirt. Seeing that the beauty didn't move, he moved upwards across her smooth and beautiful abdomen.

After receiving her tacit consent, his devilish hand gently and softly climbed up the hem of her sleeveless cotton shirt to her high and firm breasts.

The atmosphere in Daze was open, and Tang Lu's breasts were unusually firm and perky.

She wore nothing underneath her tight-fitting bodice, her skin smooth and smooth like jade. Shui Linfeng felt Tang Lu's breasts tremble slightly under his gentle caresses;

her shy, unconscious reaction was all the more captivating.

He wrapped his other arm around Tang Lu's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace, and his large lips immediately pressed against hers. Tang Lu

struggled fiercely for a few moments, her trembling cherry lips half-resisting, but Shui Linfeng still kissed her. He used the tip of his tongue to pry open her

teeth, slipping it into her mouth and swirling it around her delicate tongue. In her drunken stupor, Tang Lu suddenly sobered up, raised her hand, and slapped Shui Linfeng's handsome face

with a light touch. After a moment of stunned silence, she suddenly threw herself into Shui Linfeng's arms, panting and kissing him passionately: "Xiang Jingyu! I, Tang Lu, have always been proud and chaste, regarding all men in the world as dirt. You are the first man to kiss me. If you ever leave me, I will kill you at all costs, and then commit suicide!" 　　Shui Linfeng raised his left hand and swore to the heavens: "Xiang Jingyu swears to the heavens that if he ever betrays Tang Lu, may he be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!" 　　Shui Linfeng's oath did not contain a single "I"! In any case, whether or not he betrayed Tang Lu was entirely Xiang Jingyu's business, and had nothing to do with him, Shui Linfeng. If he could win Tang Lu's heart tonight and subdue this stunningly beautiful and noble royal princess, it would be the greatest thing in the world. 　　Shui Linfeng came from humble beginnings in the marketplace. In the Great Swamp, a commoner like him was as If any noble was displeased, they could fabricate a crime and arrest him, killing or humiliating him entirely at their whim. 　　What was Shui Linfeng doing? This was like a toad trying to eat swan meat, risking his life to eat pufferfish! 　　With soft, fragrant flesh in his arms, Shui Linfeng recited, "A meeting of minds in the golden autumn breeze and jade dew surpasses countless encounters in the mortal world! Tang Lu! You are so beautiful!" 　　Tang Lu sweetly replied, "If you can call the Ma family's sister that, why can't you call me that?" 　　Shui Linfeng's throat was dry, and he whispered hoarsely, "My dearest first wife!—!" 　　Tang Lu sweetly asked, "Jingyu! In your heart, who is the first wife, me or Yingfei?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Emperors marry two wives at once. Back then, King Yu the Great had two

stunningly . You and Yingfei are both my dear first wives! I swear, I will marry you and

Yingfei, and in this life, I will have Ma Yingfei on my left and Tang Lu on my right, just like that day in the Tongtian Pavilion!"

Tang Lu's robe was half undone, and she gasped, "It's not difficult to marry me, but Yingfei is Wu Dengke's fiancée!

It's difficult to marry her!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "You don't understand, everything is difficult! If I can't tear a hole in the sky of this great swamp,

I won't be able to marry either you or Little Horse Hoof in this lifetime!"

Tang Lu asked in confusion, "Why?"

Shui Linfeng was about to answer when a chilling, bloodcurdling laugh echoed from all around, sometimes near,

sometimes far.

Tang Lu had already heard it. She jumped off Shui Linfeng's lap, straightened her pale yellow pleated phoenix-tail skirt, and whispered,

"Jingyu! That thing is here!"

Shui Linfeng said angrily, "Why did it have to come now? If I find it, I'll use Dao Thunder

to smash its soul to pieces! This sound is sometimes near and sometimes far, it can only fool others, humph—! If I'm not mistaken,

this sound is coming from inside the artificial hill outside!"

Tang Lu said, "It's just in time!"

She stretched out her right hand, and the Lingxi Sword flashed into shape, the spiritual light at the tip of the sword faintly flickering.

Shui Linfeng exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! First wife! Aren't there two Lingxi swords, one male and one female? Why did you only take out

one ?"

Tang Lu rolled her eyes at him, then separated her hands, revealing two Lingxi swords. In the darkness, the swords flashed with eighty-

one starlight. She whispered, "These two swords can usually be stacked as one, and separated again when necessary! You've seen

them! I've put them away!"

Sure enough, they were put away again as one. Under the moonlight, the male and female Lingxi swords fit together perfectly, showing no trace of their combined form.

Shui Linfeng, however, did not take out his sword. He put his hands behind his back and laughed, "Hey—! That silly girl, she keeps turning around and

won't come out. Since she won't come out, let's go inside and find her! Follow me!"

The two turned into the artificial hill. Inside the dark cave, a pungent, foul odor filled the air. Several foot-long black shadows

nimbly darted into the crevices of the artificial hill and disappeared in a flash.

Tang Lu concealed the Lingxi Sword behind her elbow with one hand and covered her mouth and nose with the other, exclaiming, "What is it!"

A purple lamp lit up, instantly clearing the vision. Shui Linfeng lit a "Guiding Lamp" in his left hand and

replied, "It's cats! Strange! What are these cats doing hiding in the cave?"

The lamp in Shui Linfeng's finger was now

vastly different from the one Ma Yingfei had encountered when she was haunted at Nanjing University. Its flickering light shone like a 60-watt bulb. Under the lamp's illumination, the cave was filled with cat

feces and leftover food, which rotted quickly in the hot weather, explaining the foul smell.

Tang Lu stared at the bright Taoist lamp and said happily, "Indeed, he is my husband! Looking across the vast swamp,

few can match his Taoist cultivation. He is truly worthy of me, Tang Wudi!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Stop boasting in this place full of cat poop. Tang Lu, look, those

holes the cats crawled through are only big enough for their bodies to fit through. A cat can't turn around inside. These holes must lead

to somewhere else."

Tang Lu inserted her sword into several of the holes and poked around a few times. The sword had only gone in half a foot when it hit the stone wall.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Huh! These holes are all corners, and wisps of cool air are coming out. It looks

like the ventilation holes of some underground secret chamber!" Shui Linfeng said, "I hate secret chambers the most. Last time, Little Horse Hoof and I almost died

in one!"

"You've got a life! And here you go again!"

Tang Lu blinked her alluring phoenix eyes and said, "It seems you and Yingfei have quite a story. Tell

me !"

Shui Linfeng knew he had let something slip again, and chuckled, making a big fuss, "Oh dear! Why does

the place we're standing in look like a spacious stone chamber?"

Tang Lu immediately changed her attention and said in a deep voice, "Our Northeast Army likes to build underground military

fortifications. The place we're standing in is undoubtedly the exit of a secret underground passage. Jingyu, look at that wall over there!"

Shui Linfeng followed her finger and saw that on the opposite three-meter-high stone wall, there were strange rocks and a fake mountain wall that looked like

a ghost face . It was covered with cat poop and pee. Looking left and right, under the purple light of the lamp, apart from

the scary shape of the fake mountain rocks, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

He asked in bewilderment, "It's nothing! It's just that the pile of rocks is a bit scary!"

The eerie laughter around them turned into ghostly wails, calling out one name after another.

Shui Linfeng and Tang Lu were already innate Dao bodies. Shui Linfeng was now a Qian Yuan Dao body, and Tang Lu was a Xuan Tian True body.

On this continent, before breaking through the void to become a god, cultivation is divided into eighteen stages. The higher the stage,

the more difficult it is to advance. If the physical body is not destroyed, one can cultivate to become a main god, but if the physical body is destroyed, one can only become

an immortal , not a god.

Nourished by the purple-gold dragon energy of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, Shui Linfeng cultivated diligently according to the "Wordless Heavenly Book" recorded by his sect.

After entering the Qian Yuan Dao body, the acupoints and meridians in his body could no longer expand. Although spiritual energy could be replenished very quickly after being lost

, the space in his body that could hold spiritual energy could no longer be increased.

The two quickly used their "Heavenly Hearing Insight" to strain their ears, carefully listening to the low-frequency ghostly language that was incomprehensible to ordinary people, trying to discern

whose name it was calling. Amidst the incessant chatter, the ghostly voice clearly cried out: "Wu Zuoyi! Wu Zuoyi! You're so cruel

! Let me out! I'm suffering so much!"

Shui Linfeng understood and laughed, "It's someone surnamed Wu again! Probably has some

connection ."

Tang Lu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Cuckolding someone and showing no remorse whatsoever, even

calling each other brothers you're number one in shamelessness!"

Shui Linji chuckled, "Wu..." "A dwarf wanting to marry a horse's hoof is like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung. Heaven

cherishes life, and to avoid such a waste, I have a duty to take on the great task of 'heroicly inserting beauty'!

Amitabha! If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Tang Lu chuckled and said, "You're wrong! I've only ever heard of heroes rescuing beauties, never

'heroicly inserting beauty'! If you want to be a hero, why don't you go back and ask someone to propose to my father?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "What's the point of heroically rescuing a beauty! If it were a dinosaur, which hero would rescue it? This sky..."

There is no love without a cause, nor is there hatred without a cause. The hero saves the beauty, but in the end, it's all for a quick act. I

just Where did I go wrong?

Tang Lu laughed and playfully slapped Shui Linfeng, saying, "You're always talking nonsense and your mind is full of lewd thoughts. Sometimes I

really wonder if you're even royalty."

Shui Linfeng chuckled and said, "Oh my! I see it now! That big ghost face on the wall is actually made up of eight small

ghost faces . Huh—! That's impossible! It looks like an extremely rare mystical formation. Hmm—!

That's right! It should be the Eight Ghost Locking Gate Formation!"

Tang Lu exclaimed, "The Eight Ghost Locking Gate Formation? It's been lost for a long time. I heard that only one reclusive master in the Great Swamp,

Dong Xiaozi, one of the Seven Masters, knows how to set it up. Dong Xiaozi served in the Intelligence Bureau in his early years, working for the ancestors of the Wu family. If he were still alive,

he would be over 150 years old! It seems that this place is indeed related to the Wu family!"

Shui Linfeng suddenly said, "That's not necessarily true. This formation was recorded in the previous dynasty. Let me explain it to you! By the way!

What year and month is it today? What day is it?"

Tang Lu took out her phone, switched to the lunar calendar, told Shui Linfeng the lunar year and month, and calculated the time.

Shui Linfeng silently opened the "Linglong Record" and, following the instructions,

used the Qingfeng Blade in his hand to stab the eight small ghost faces on the wall into their

heavenly eyes, in the order of "Xuan, Xu, Nu, Ding, Po, Li, Du, Mie." Each time he stabbed into a ghost eye, a sharp, cracking sound was heard from the shadows, followed by

a series of clicking and clattering mechanical sounds. Finally, two ghost eyes revealed three highly poisonous blades flashing with blue light.

The person who designed this door was indeed extremely vicious; anyone unaware of this would surely be cut by

the and poisoned to death!

After the eight consecutive sounds, Shui Linfeng's blade suddenly pierced the nose of a large ghost face. This time, it was a

crisp crossbow bolts, and a barrage of powerful crossbows shot out like raindrops. At the same time, a loud bang resounded,

and all the ghost faces on the artificial mountain wall fell into the underground trap, revealing a long... The long, downward passage was

about 1.5 to 1.6 meters wide and 2 meters high, filled with a chilling wind, and the ghostly cries emanated from within with even greater clarity.

Shui Linfeng was prepared. He took Tang Lu's arm with his right hand, leaping over the deep trap. With a casual flick of his left hand, he created

a massive purple light shield, blocking their path. The powerful crossbows that struck the shield fell into the

two-meter-wide trap at the entrance of the secret passage.

Tang Lu's eyes widened in surprise as she gripped his large hand tightly, following behind Shui Linfeng to the passage's entrance.

After the rain of arrows, Shui Linfeng opened his left hand and rekindled the guiding lamp.

Knowing the unpredictable nature of the ghost realm, Shui Linfeng, fearing some unknown force might plot against him, knocked down several artificial rocks. Using

a minor technique from his "Upper and Lower Strategies" method, he shouted, "Quickly—!"

and hurled the rocks into the air. As they fell, they transformed into several stone rats of varying sizes.

Squeaking, they stood upright before Shui Linfeng, awaiting his orders.

Shui Linfeng pointed to the gap in the stone door's sliding passage and said, "Go—!"

The stone rats immediately scattered and burrowed deep into the stone door's sliding groove, wedging it tightly.

Still worried, Shui Linfeng pulled down the iron ring inside the door and tried to close it

. With a loud crash, the door was blocked by the artificial rock and could no longer be closed. Only then was Shui Linfeng relieved and released the iron ring. Leaving the secret passage door open

would make it easier to escape if there were any large creatures inside!

They entered the dark granite tunnel. The two walked for a full half hour before reaching

the end , feeling as if they were descending into the depths of a large lake. As they descended, the granite walls, ceiling, sides, and

floorboards became damp and seeping with water.

The deeper they went, the louder the ghostly sounds grew. Shui Linfeng walked ahead nonchalantly, with Tang Lu closely following behind him,

her small hand gripping his arm tightly. At the end of the tunnel were three spacious halls, well-ventilated,

with ceilings four or five meters high. Each hall was about the size of a basketball court, constructed entirely of granite, seemingly used to hide soldiers or

other objects.

The secret passage that Shui and Tang had descended through was a three-meter-wide public corridor in front of these three halls.

At the end of this corridor was another upward passage, its destination unknown. The shadowy figures of cats flashed by intermittently, and

the ground was littered with cat feces and urine. In a dark corner, several dumbfounded kittens stared

blankly at the two.

The Tongtian Pavilion Hotel, catering exclusively to royalty and wealthy merchants, was usually not fully booked.

This wasn't the only dark corner in the thousands of acres of the hotel. It seemed this underground chamber, untouched for many years, had become

a haven for cats, where they leisurely mated and gave birth.

The side halls flanking the secret hall, along the walls, were filled with rooms. The heavy iron

doors but

none were locked. Curious, Shui Linfeng pushed open each door to peek inside. Each room was about forty or fifty square meters in size, completely empty.

Some of the iron doors didn't lead to closed rooms; they had further iron doors at the end, most

leading upwards. Only one led downwards, and the ghostly voices were coming from there.

Tang Lu grabbed Shui Linfeng's arm and asked, "Should we go down?"
