There is only one sentence in the ancestral motto of the Hou family: Things at the bottom of the lake cannot be named, seen, heard, or thought of.
The family masters of the past generations have passed down word of mouth: That thing has no name. If you call it, it will respond; if you look at it, it will confuse you; if you listen to it, it will invade; if you think of it, it will occupy it. The best way is to pretend it doesn't exist, suppress it with formations, and kill it with time.
But any seal will loosen over time. Every hundred years, it needs to be refortified. In the past three hundred years, the seal has been loosened more and more frequently - from once every two hundred years, to once every hundred years, to once every fifty years. There was an accident during the reinforcement twenty years ago - the thing struggled harder than ever. Hou Jingshan, Gu Yunqi, and Shen Hengjun tried their best to suppress it.
The price was: Gu Yunqi's body was completely destroyed and he was trapped in the pavilion in the middle of the lake for twenty years; Shen Hengjun jumped into the middle of the lake and used himself as a ballast, sinking to the bottom of the lake forever; Hou Jingshan's cultivation was completely ruined and he stayed behind closed doors after returning home, and died of depression six years later.
Now, twenty years later, the seal has been loosened once again.
But this time, there is only one young man left in the Hou family who has never really started.
