After a quick look around, Yuyan did not see any trace of Zhang Qiling and Fatty on the surface.

Then it slowly sank down, approaching the surface of the branches below.

After getting close to the branch, Yuyan immediately realized that this branch would definitely not be able to trap anyone.

Many branches were broken, and in these gaps, countless lime pieces and rotten branches were piled around in a mess.

Yuyan touched the branches with her hand. From the broken ends, she could see the rot inside. The branches were able to maintain their shape only because of the thin layer of lime on the surface.

Below the rotten wood is the ancient village. Looking at the quiet and secluded ancient village, Yuyan wondered whether she should go in and take a look.

But the ancient village had been soaked in water for too long and it must not be very solid. What if she accidentally caused it to collapse?

While hesitating, her sight shifted slightly, and Yuyan noticed a place deep in the ancient village. She didn't know when a single green light appeared.

The dim light made Yuyan put aside all her other concerns and she wanted to go and take a look.

What if Fatty and Zhang Qiling are still in the ancient village?

Before entering, no one knew what the structure was inside.

Although this green light did not look like the light that could be emitted by a human, Yuyan still calmed her mind and dived down.

The lake water was rippling, and Yuyan dived towards the ancient village along the rocky beach at the bottom of the lake. Not long after, the green light was blocked by the ancient building due to the perspective.

Darkness returned to the surroundings.

After diving for a while, Yuyan touched the top of the stilt wooden building at the top of the ancient village.

Because we were diving from the top of the slope to the bottom, the water depth might have exceeded 70 meters.

A little sunlight can still barely get through from above, so there is no need for a searchlight.

But you must take out the searchlight here, otherwise it will be a wasted trip if you don’t find any clues after diving here.

Using a searchlight to check the surrounding situation, Yuyan roughly knew where she had dived to.

This is a place on the edge of the village. There are many tombstone-like stone tablets standing there. They are covered with water rust, and the potholes make it difficult to see the words on them.

The ancient Yao people had the tradition of defining laws on stone tablets. These stone tablets are called "Achang" by the Yao people and are considered particularly sacred by the Yao people.

The words on the stone tablet were already very blurry, to the point where even if Yuyan took a photo and brought it back, Wu Xie would not be able to recognize them.

So Yuyan simply ignored the stone tablet and continued swimming towards the top of the village.

Looking down at the Yao village from above, Yuyan was somewhat surprised to find that the entire village was very similar to that of Banai.

Since they are all Yao people, do their architectural concepts seem similar?

Yuyan scratched her head, thought for a while and decided to take out her camera to take a picture first.

Qingguang was revealed again because Yuyan entered the ancient village and the perspective changed.

Passing by several dilapidated stilt houses, Yuyan moved towards the lights.

Finally, Yuyan stopped in front of a very large composite stilt tower, which was composed of several stilt buildings.

Looking closely, this building does not seem to be a product of the Yao ethnic group.

Because the extended stone structure and Hui-style tiled roof and eaves are absolutely impossible to belong to Yao architecture.

And strangely enough, the Miao and Yao peoples and the Han people live in separate groups and are extremely concerned about their privacy and bloodline.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for the Yao and Han people to live together. Even if there are Yao people who are willing to accept the Han people to settle in the village, it is absolutely impossible for the Yao king to allow the Han people to build such a large tower in the Yao village.

And it is located in the center of the entire Yao village.

As Yuyan slowly sank, an even stranger place appeared.

This ancient Han-style building is completely surrounded by stilt buildings, as if it is deliberately protected by the stilt buildings.

The identical color of the tiles on the roof makes it impossible to detect this ancient building from the outside.

The architecture of the Han Building is also very strange. It is in the shape of a "mouth", with a patio in the middle and three-story buildings around it. The bottom and outer walls are all built with stone slabs.

This is the style of the street-side mansions of wealthy families in the south during the Ming and Qing dynasties. There should be gardens and more buildings behind them, but there is only this single building left here.

Fortunately, the person standing in front of the Han Building is Yuyan, not Wu Xie, otherwise he, a top student in the architecture department, would be miserable.

However, Yuyan specially took several photos of the Han Building from different angles and prepared to go up and show them to Wu Xie.

She didn't mean to make Wu Xie feel uncomfortable, she just thought this Han Building was very strange and wanted Wu Xie to analyze it.

Yuyan turned the searchlight to the maximum, took a rope and tied it in front of herself, then sank down to the wellhead.

As the distance between Yuyan and the skylight became shorter and shorter, the scene in front of them gradually became clear.

Stone tables and chairs covered with sediment were placed aside, and twelve pillars supported the roof around the patio.

Further inside, there are wooden and stone corridors and rooms with carved window grilles.

Although the wooden doors and windows have fallen off and decayed, the structure of the house is still intact.

Yuyan swam to the door and wiped off the attachments on the couplets on both sides of the door with her hands. It read: "I have already celebrated my victory at Yanran, but I still think of humming poems in Qufu."

The owner of this building must have military merits. Judging from the size of this Han Building, he must be a military officer of high rank.

I carefully entered the front hall again and looked around. The interior of the entire front building had completely rotted away. Looking up, I could directly see the roof of the highest building.

Inside the dilapidated and desolate building, Yuyan felt the smell of decay all around her, and finally she could only sigh with regret.

Looking up at the wall above, only a rotting plaque might offer a clue.

After wiping off the attachments on it, the four words "Fan Tianzi Bao" can be vaguely distinguished.

Although she couldn't understand what these four words meant, Yuyan could tell that the signature was from the Zhang family's owner.

Sure enough, this building is related to the Zhang family.

I was not aware of anything when I left the Zhang Family Ancient Building, so I had no idea about this.

I'm back again after going around in circles...

Just as Yuyan was trying to calm down, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.

The green light actually lit up from behind her.

Yuyan immediately turned around and saw the strange green light in the back hall through the back door of the front hall.

The strange green light was shaking slightly, making the entire skylight look spooky.

But fortunately, Yuyan is not afraid.

After rushing over, Yuyan used the searchlight to illuminate the situation inside.

It was no different from the front hall. The ground was piled with rotten and collapsed materials. Behind the wall in the middle of the back hall, a cold green light was shining through.

Just as Yuyan was about to enter through the window, the green light quickly dimmed and then went out after returning to the wall.

Yuyan frowned. Damn it, is he playing tricks on her?

She was originally just thinking about whether to go in, but this time she had to go in!
