But for now.

Wu Liang has not yet seen Linghu Lake with his own eyes, nor has he understood the environment and landforms there, so it is too early to say anything.

At this moment, what we need to do is to lead the Hu army to Linghu as soon as possible, conduct an on-the-spot investigation near there, and see if we can find some other clues. Only in this way can we judge the true nature of Linghu's "soul-sucking" power.

reason.

After two days of this.

The Hu army finally arrived at Linghu while the soldiers were resting.

Wu Liang led Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing, Yang Wanli and Yu Ji to the lake to check the situation.

"Old sir, my ancestral grave should be around here. Could you please use your skills to help me check it out? I would be very grateful."

While observing the landforms and vegetation around the lake and the situation inside the lake, Wu Liang deliberately tested Ji.

"Young Master is joking. The terrain here is flat and vast. I can't observe the nearby sand and water features, so I really can't use the art of surveying."

Yu Ji glanced at Wu Liang, turned back and pointed to a foothill two miles away, and said with a smile, "But the hill is dozens of feet high. If I can climb to the top of the mountain, I can have an unobstructed view of the sand and water here.

Only then can we use the art of Kanyu to point out the site of the prince's tomb."

Wu Liang looked in the direction of Yu Ji's finger and saw a hill about 150 meters high.

The hill is very steep on one side and slightly gentle on the other. It shouldn't be too difficult to go up from the gentle side.

As for what Yu Ji said, Wu Liang agreed.

The foundation of the art of Kanyu is to observe mountains and waters. If Yu Ji just listened to what he said and just performed the art of Kanyu on the spot without saying a word, then he would definitely be lying again.

If this is the case, no matter how talented Yu Ji is, he will not be able to use it for himself.

Wu Liang would decisively ask Dian Wei to throw the old man into the lake, and then drive him away without saying a word.

"Then there's Mr. Lao."

Wu Liang smiled and looked up into the lake again.

The Linghu Lake at this moment is no different from an ordinary lake. The lake water is clear and has rippling blue waves.

Some waterfowl are circling over Linghu Lake, and there are many wild ducks swimming leisurely in the middle of the lake, sometimes diving in and sometimes floating up, and there is always something to gain.

Even under the water plants by the lake, you can see some small fish swimming happily, scurrying around when they notice someone passing by.

What an original picture with a beautiful environment.

"Jingjing, I'm a little greedy, can you help me get some waterfowl to eat?"

Looking at the plump wild duck in the middle of the lake, Wu Liang smiled and looked at Bai Jingjing.

"If you want to eat, you can catch it yourself. What do you want me to do?"

Bai Jingjing rolled her eyes and snorted.

"How presumptuous! Have you ever talked to Mr. Lang like this? You really don't know what to say!"

Wu Liang scolded, but there was no displeasure on his face. Instead, he continued, "It's easier for you to catch me. Do you think I can't catch it? Okay, okay, okay, this is

If you don't catch it, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. When my unique delicacy 'Beggar Waterfowl' comes out of the oven, I won't give you a bite, just me, Dian Wei, Yang Wanli and the old man will eat it by ourselves!"

"What waterfowl are you talking about?"

Bai Jingjing immediately turned around and asked doubtfully, while swallowing a tear in disappointment.

Although Wu Liang rarely cooks, especially when he is at home, with a "beautiful woman" waiting on him, he almost has to put his hands on clothes and open his mouth.

But there were still a few times when Bai Jingjing was lucky enough to taste Wu Liang’s craftsmanship.

The taste is indeed more delicious than the food Bai Jingjing has eaten before. The most important thing is that Wu Liang is willing to use the ingredients. In this era, he has never been stingy with the onions, ginger, pepper, dogwood, garlic, cinnamon, lemongrass and other seasonings, even this

The first time he went south, he also brought a small bag of seasoning powder with him in case of emergency.

What Bai Jingjing misses the most is Wu Liang’s special “roasted squab”.

While grilling with fruit wood charcoal, the skin of the pigeon is brushed with caramel. The outside is charred and the inside is tender. It tastes so unforgettable that you can't help but suck your fingers.

In addition, it has been nearly two months since I went south. I mostly used biscuits as dry food and corn to make porridge along the way. I could only eat a bite of decent food occasionally when I arrived in the city for repairs. Bai Jingjing's mouth was about to fade away.

.

Now I suddenly heard Wu Liang say another cooking technique that I had never heard before.

Bai Jingjing shed tears of disappointment for those waterbirds in an instant.

"Begging for flowers and waterfowl. You don't have to eat anyway. Why do you ask so many questions?"

Wu Liang glanced at her and said deliberately, "Dian Wei, go get a pot, we are going to catch birds."

The term "Beggar Waterbird" is a vocabulary invented by Wu Liang himself, and the original form refers to "Beggar Chicken".

In fact, this cooking technique has been around since the Zhou Dynasty. One of the "Eight Delicacies" is the "cannon pig". The suckling pig is wrapped in clay and grilled to make it into a dish.

However, in the Han Dynasty, this "unworthy" way of eating was no longer popular, so it was extremely rare even among the people, and there was no such word as "beggar" at this time.

As for catching birds, it's much simpler.

A pot, a small wooden stick, a hemp rope and a handful of grain are enough. This is not difficult for Wu Liang, but it just takes a little time.

But there is no need for Wu Liang to worry about this. There are so many soldiers in the Hu army, and just two people can do the job.

"Wait a moment."

Bai Jingjing's expression tightened and she quickly stopped Dian Wei. The next moment, a bright smile appeared on her face. She walked forward and gently shook Wu Liang's sleeves, and said sweetly, "Oh, Master, I was just joking with you. Catch a few

It's just a water bird, so how can I disobey the master of the family? Let me take care of this small matter."

"..."

Conscience of heaven and earth, this was the first time Wu Liang saw Bai Jingjing acting like this.

So much so that he even suspected that if he came up with something better to eat next time to seduce this girl, he could easily get on base.

Emmm... The conditions are not very good now, I must try it when I go back!

While talking.

"Gudong - clatter!"

Suddenly, a very strange sound of splashing water came from the lake.

The wild ducks that were swimming leisurely on the lake were immediately disturbed and flew away with flapping wings.

!?

Several people accompanying him quickly looked into the lake and said that the big fish in the lake was stirring.

But the only ones who were really shocked were Wu Liang and Yang Wanli. In order to prevent unnecessary panic, Wu Liang did not choose to make the rumors about the "soul-sucking lake" public.

It was only when I saw it that I discovered it.

At this moment, there is a string of white bubbles rising rapidly from the bottom of the lake. When the bubbles reach the surface of the lake, they will turn out a huge splash like boiling water. It is both big and small. This picture looks quite spectacular.

"I'm afraid there is a big fish down here. My dad said that the bigger the fish is, the bigger and more blisters it will spit out."

Bai Jingjing said in surprise, "However, these blisters are so big and there are so many, how big a fish must it be? Huh? Master, why do you look so ugly?"

"It's okay, I'm naturally timid, I just got scared."

Wu Liang smiled and said.

Originally, he was ready to tell everyone to run for their lives, but when he saw that there were just a bunch of blisters and the lake surface became calm again after the bubbles were gone, he finally endured it.

At the same time, after seeing this scene and combining it with Yang Wanli's previous description, Wu Liangliang immediately made a relatively certain judgment about the vision of "the soul-sucking lake".

This is 80% not caused by ghosts, but a natural phenomenon!

As far as he knew, there were three very famous horrific murderous lakes in later generations that were similar to the spirit lake.

These three horrific murderous lakes are called Lake Nyos, Lake Kivu and Lake Morowen.

Large-scale murders have occurred all over the Horror Killing Lake, and all the victims died quietly in an instant.

In severe cases, it can even kill nearly 1,800 people and more than 3,500 livestock in 4 villages in a very short period of time without warning. There are no traces of injury on the bodies of the deceased, let alone witnesses of the disaster afterwards.

Even the deceased himself did not know why he died.

At first, people thought it was some kind of terrible biological weapon attack.

However, after careful research by scientists, the possibility of a biological weapon attack was quickly ruled out.

Because these victims did not die from any virus or disease, but from inexplicable suffocation.

finally.

The real culprit of this bizarre murder was found, and it was these horrific murder lakes.

These lakes are either located in volcanic craters or on rock cracks in the earth's crust, so that carbon dioxide in the earth's crust penetrates deep into the lake water through rock cracks.

However, due to the considerable depth of these lakes, the pressure and pressure generated are extremely high. The carbon dioxide that escapes from the cracks in the earth's crust rocks will be dissolved in the lake water by high pressure. After years of accumulation, the carbon dioxide dissolved and accumulated underwater will eventually

One day it will reach a critical value.

At this time, the entire lake is like a bottle of Feizhai happy water that has been shaken violently.
