the scene changes in biling lake


Gusu was located in Jiangnan, and the voices that entered the ear were soft and mild-mannered. Two boats collided head-on, spilling a few jars of rice wine, and even when the two boatmen argued, it sounded like the crisp and sweet birdsong of an oriole. Yunmeng had many lakes, but it was rare for there to be small towns of this sort with waterways. Wei Wuxian found it peculiar. He fished money out of his pocket to buy two jars of rice wine, and handed one jar over to Jiang Cheng, saying, "The Gusu people speak so sweetly. How is this arguing? If they see how people of Yunmeng argue, they might be scared to death...Lan Zhan, what are you looking at me for? It's not because I'm stingy that I'm not buying it for you. Aren't people from your clan unable to drink alcohol?"

yzy: what do you mean sacred to death?

Not staying for long, they boarded ten or so narrow boats and rowed towards where the water spirits gathered. Gradually, the houses on both banks became fewer in number, and the river channel also became quiet. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng each occupied a boat, competing to see who could row faster while listening to matters related to the water spirits at this place.

This river channel led to a large lake up ahead called Biling Lake. In the past decades, Caiyi Town had never been haunted by water spirits, but in recent months, people had repeatedly fallen into this water channel and Biling Lake. Cargo ships also sunk without an explanation. A few days ago, Lan Xichen had casted an array of nets in this area, originally thinking that he could catch one or two of them. Who would have expected that he would capture a dozen or more water spirits in a row. He had cleaned the corpses and brought them to the nearby town to inquire about them, but there had actually been quite a lot of corpses that had gone unclaimed, not recognized by the local people. Yesterday, he had cast the array of nets once more and had caught quite a few again.
