The next day, Ying, Guiyan and Gu Ling got up early. It was still dark and there was still some time before dawn.

The cold weather made people reluctant to leave their warm dreams and comfortable beds, so Ying and the others' actions did not alarm anyone.

But things always seem to develop in a way that is not satisfactory. For example, today they plan to follow Brother Zhu to the temple. While investigating the statue, they also want to find out who talked to Brother Zhu last night and the purpose of the conversation.

But in order to do this, they must keep track of Zhu Ge's whereabouts. If he is still sleeping at this time and will not wake up until daytime, it will definitely be a good thing for Ying. But just when she closed the door, she found that Zhu Ge had already put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

He became the only person in the entire mansion who saw Ying and the others in action.

"You got up so early?" When Brother Zhu saw them, he was stunned for a moment, then he smiled again. It was still the same ingratiating smile, but his face seemed fatter than last night.

No, it should be swollen. Brother Zhu's face was red and purple with obvious palm prints on it. His ear, which was grabbed by Zhao Dongniang yesterday, was also bandaged, and a trace of blood seeped out from under the white cloth.

"Brother Zhu, what are you doing?" Ying looked at Brother Zhu, but he turned his head away awkwardly, with an ambiguous look in his eyes, and he muttered:

"That stinky bitch!"

The voice of this sentence was very soft and most people could not hear it. Even people with better hearing might only hear a vague sound, but Ying clearly heard every word the other party said.

He knew that Brother Zhu was cursing Zhao Dongniang, but he didn't dare to shout it out like the other party did. All his words could only become this almost inaudible curse and the resentment in his heart.

But soon, Brother Zhu turned around, with a helpless smile on his face, and said:

"You also know the one in my family. Oh, forget it, it's just a small matter."

After saying this, he took another breath of cold air, but without the Water Avoidance Technique, what he inhaled should be the cold lake water. In short, he seemed to be thinking about something, and after considering it for a while, he spoke:

"Oh, well, you guys are going to worship the statue, right?"

That was indeed the case, but it was almost dawn, and Ying and the others could not act with him. If the other party noticed something was wrong, not only would the clues be lost, but the whole town would probably fall into chaos - it seemed that they were destined to be unable to investigate the statue and Brother Zhu at the same time today.

"I plan to go find Brother Qiu first. He showed me a new toy yesterday and I want to buy it right away. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it later."

Gu Ling pretended to be an innocent little girl in front of these people, but it really worked. Brother Zhu didn't doubt their real purpose at all.

"Is that so? Then you should also pay attention to safety. But I feel more at ease with Ying and Guiyan here."

After saying that, Brother Zhu rubbed his hands again and said to Ying with an embarrassed expression:

"Ying, my girl... well, she's just like that, don't take it to heart."

"It's okay, Brother Zhu, I don't care." Ying had no choice but to wave her hand and secretly glanced at the sky.

"Then I will take Gu Ling to Brother Qiu's place."

After saying goodbye to Brother Zhu, Ying and the other two quickly went out of the town and finally left the town before dawn.

Because of Zhu Ge's sudden appearance, it may be difficult to conduct the investigation of him simultaneously with the investigation of the statue.

When it was bright and daytime arrived, Ying and the others went directly to the temple. As expected, they did not see Brother Zhu, but only some scattered townspeople who had gotten up early to worship.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people around, Ying went to the temple master and got three incense sticks, walked to the statue, and began to salute in the way she had seen yesterday.

As she bowed, she thought about what she expected, and then said softly:

"I hope to unlock the restriction in the center of the lake."

"Why do you want to break the restriction in the lake?"

Just as he finished speaking, a cold voice sounded in Ying's ears. At the same time, Ying felt that the cold lake water around her seemed to disappear and turned into warm air.

She quickly raised her head and looked around, and found that the place was white, and even there was wisps of white mist rising from under her feet. Everything seemed to be in a hazy state, as if she was in a dream, except Ying, who felt that her mind was very clear.

Ying searched around in this space, but did not find the figure of the person who had just spoken to her, so she was silent for a moment, and imitated the words that Ling Yue had used when she asked Zhen Yuan Da Xian to appear before and said:

"I am... Traveler Ying. I wonder who you are? If you are willing to do me the honor, please meet me."

After saying that, Ying felt the mist around him rolling again. After a moment, the mist in front of Ying became thinner, revealing a huge figure.

That's a snake!

Although she still couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, from the part that Ying saw, just the other party's raised head required Ying to raise her neck to see the whole picture. How long its real body was, Ying was not even willing to think about it carefully.

Moreover, this snake was not only huge in size, it actually had two heads. Although the heads appeared blurry under the white mist, the red light emitted by its four eyes was as clearly visible as a lighthouse, making Ying feel depressed.

The image of this huge two-headed snake reminded Ying of the vortex demon Osel whom she had fought before. At that time, she gathered the power of all the immortals, and with the help of Ningguang's abandonment of the Jade Pavilion, she was able to defeat him.

Even if the giant snake in front of him is not as powerful as Osel, its strength is probably extremely strong.

However, Ying is no longer the same as before. She possesses elemental powers of four attributes. Even if the devil comes, she may be able to fight against him.

"Why do you want to break the ban in the lake?" the two-headed snake continued to ask the same question.

Ying calmed down a little and continued:

"I received a commission from the Great Immortal Zhenyuan and wanted to go to the center of the lake to take away a treasure."

Although she didn't know whether the two-headed snake that suddenly appeared was a friend or an enemy, Ying had already prepared for the worst. She clenched her fingers, ready to summon the black sword at any time.

But she waited for a long time, and the two-headed snake stopped moving. It just stood there quietly. If it weren't for the fact that its body was shaking slightly, Ying would even think it had turned into a statue.

"Senior Dixian?" Ying called out again. Since she was brought to this space when she was worshipping the statue of Dixian, the other party was most likely Dixian.

The other party's response also confirmed Ying's guess:

"No, there are restrictions in the lake, don't move rashly."
