Late night.
Outside Taiping Ancient Town.
Feng Quan carried two corpses wrapped in bed sheets and followed the hotel's boss Liu to a wasteland by the river outside Taiping Ancient Town.
This wasteland is covered with weeds, and the weeds are particularly lush, taller than any one, and lush. In contrast, the weeds in other places are short, thin, and wilted. I don’t know if it is because of the fertile wasteland or the abundant water source near the river.
It's here.Boss Liu stopped.
In the dark night, his reflection was getting old, and the dim oil lamp was swaying at this moment, and finally came here with Feng Quan.
This is a corpse burial site.
In the past, it was what people often call mass graves.
Dig a hole and bury these two corpses here.
Boss Liu pointed to a clearing area with fewer weeds in front.
Feng Quan's numb eyes turned slightly: Are all the dead people in the town buried here?No wonder the weeds on this wasteland grow so lushly, but people die one after another and some disappear, so they did not attract people's attention?
Don’t you know what Taiping Ancient Town is? What do you think ordinary people can find out when they come here?Boss Liu smiled: Don’t you want to know the secret here? If you help me with your work, I can tell you something.
I want to know about Ghost Lake, how much do you know?Feng Quan didn't expect that this boss was so direct, so he took the initiative to mention it without asking indirectly.
That's good.
Save time around the bush.
Immediately, Feng Quan threw two dead bodies on the ground, picked up the old shovel covered with mud in his hand and dug a hole on the ground, preparing to bury the corpses of the couple in this wasteland.
Although these two people are innocent.
But this is what it means to involve supernatural powers, and there will always be people who die.
Feng Quan was used to life and death. The two dead bodies were rare and ordinary to him. Compared with a real supernatural incident, it was considered very few to die two people, with very few casualties.
A supernatural incident broke out outside, and no matter how many times a dozen, hundreds or even thousands of people died.
Although the strange shovel contaminated with soil is a supernatural item, it is also possible to shovel soil and will not cause any special supernatural phenomena.
Ghost Lake Ah.
Boss Liu held the oil lamp and found a place where the grass was little. He squatted down. He took out a pack of cigarette from somewhere, lit it skillfully, and then took a deep breath.
After vomiting a smoke ring, Boss Liu said slowly: This matter starts with a coffin, which is a black coffin placed in the back hall of the ancestral hall of Taiping Ancient Town... This matter has been decades, and it has to start with me when I was a child. Although it has been a long time since I was a child, there are always a few memories of my childhood that were very impressive.
That coffin is one of them.
Feng Quan paused a little while digging the hole. He looked at Boss Liu; What's so special about that coffin?Is there a ghost locked inside?
Boss Liu said: I have been put in the ancestral hall since I remember. I don’t know how long the coffin has been placed there. It is roughly an old coffin left during the Republic of China period. However, I don’t care much about such an old coffin. After all, in the ancient town at that time, every household had the habit of preparing a coffin.
Until one day, I went out to pee at night and accidentally came to the vicinity of the ancestral hall. I could hear a woman's crying sound.
There are many taboos in Taiping Ancient Town. Not going out during dark is one of them. The second taboo is not going to the ancestral hall at night... I made two taboos that day. I was attracted by the crying and climbed over the wall and entered the ancestral hall. I was curious about which girl was crying at night.
Boss Liu continued to smoke, and I followed the crying to the back hall of the ancestral hall, and I saw an old black coffin.
There is no doubt that the crying sound came from the coffin, and there was a pool of water around the coffin, which seemed to be the tears of the people in the coffin crying.
Maybe it was because of my youth and ignorance, or maybe it was because of my curiosity that I thought there was a girl locked in the coffin, so I wanted to open the coffin and rescue the man.
You opened it?Feng Quan asked lowered the shovel.
Boss Liu smiled and said: No, I tried to lift the lid of the coffin, but I was stopped. I was a person I didn’t know. I still remember the person who looked like that person. He was an old man wearing a black long gown, wrinkled face, and was full of life. He stopped me and advised me to leave with a smile.
I was a little confused at the time and left in a daze. Later I realized that there was no girl in the coffin behind the ancestral hall. I heard from the elders that it was an empty coffin, which had been left there for a long time, and there were no elderly people wearing long gowns in the ancestral hall.
And this is the first time I know the secrets of the town and the first time I have entered the supernatural circle.
Speaking of this, Boss Liu felt a little moved.
What happened later?Feng Quan continued to dig a hole and listened to Boss Liu telling his strange past experiences.
Boss Liu said: Later, for a period of time, the woman's cry came from the ancestral hall. I heard it very clearly at night. I didn't know what this meant at that time. I only knew that one day, some old people from Taiping Ancient Town made a decision to transport the coffin out of the ancestral hall. Just like this scene today, I found a place to bury it.
Buried?Bury where.Feng Quan keenly realized that the burial place of the coffin was the source of the Brewing Ghost Lake.
Boss Liu smoked his cigarette and squinted his eyes and said: Buried outside reality, a supernatural place that living people cannot enter, was transported away by a black boat. No one knew where the coffin was transported. He only knew that there was no more crying in Taiping Ancient Town that night, and everything returned to peace.
A black boat?What is that.Feng Quan asked afterwards.
The older generation said that it was a ghost ship that sent the dead away. If a living person got on the ship, he would never be able to come back. But this is just a story, and I don’t believe this.Boss Liu smiled at this time.
His smile was a little weird, as if he had thought of something special.
The reason why living people cannot come back is because they don’t want living people to come back in a small boat, because there is a ghost on the boat. As long as you take a boat, you will be cursed by evil spirits and suffer from unknown and dangerous conditions. No one can avoid it. So strictly speaking, it is not wrong to be a road without return.
Feng Quan's expression moved slightly: If there is a ghost on the ship, wouldn't it be enough to imprison the ghost?
Maybe that ship is that ghost.
Boss Liu glanced at: Young people always think things are so simple. Do you think it is ordinary to send dead ships away?Forget it, I won’t discuss the matter about the ship, let’s talk about the Guihu you are interested in.
Actually, I had heard information about Guihu before you came. The moment I heard these news, I immediately thought of the black coffin transported away... So many years have passed, and if there is any situation, it would probably happen.
But I didn't expect that the coffin transported by the ghost ship would eventually form a ghost lake and even affect the outside.
Feng Quan frowned: So, is this the truth about Guihu?Didn’t you say before that Guihu’s out of control is because too many ghosts are imprisoned?
What I am talking about is the cause of Guihu, not the function of Guihu. What those people did with that coffin was not something that I, a child, could not know at that time.Boss Liu said.
I later slowly inferred and guessed the role of the ghosts in Guihu.
So that's it.Feng Quan nodded.
This is very reasonable.
This boss Liu is just a witness, not a participant.
So, finding that coffin and dealing with the ghost in the coffin can solve the Ghost Lake incident?Feng Quan said again.
Things are not that simple... Boss Liu said, and he turned his head and looked into the distance along the river.
It was pitch black in the distance, and there was nothing, and I could only vaguely see a little light coming from the river.
If the ghost in the coffin was so easy to deal with, the old man in the past would not have transported the coffin away. The so-called use of the ghost lake to detain evil ghosts is definitely not the best choice. It may be just a forced helpless choice, otherwise the ghost lake would have been formed long ago.
Boss Liu then expressed his concerns.
Feng Quan was silent. He had dug the pit now, and it was very deep and it was not easy to be found.
A rustling sound continued to sound in this weed-covered wasteland.
Two dead bodies began to be buried.
And in the ghost lake.
Yang Jian, which sank into the bottom of the lake like a sculpture, did not sink forever in this cold and dark lake water.
As time passed, the cold and numbness in his body gradually faded away. This feeling was not a physical feeling, but a kind of supernatural and suppression was constantly weakening. No, the supernatural power in the ghost lake was not weakening, but the impact on himself was getting smaller and smaller.
This change is strange and can't be said.
But at least, Yang Jian can now open his ghost eyes to peek at everything at the bottom of the lake, and his hands and feet can gradually move.
I believe that as long as this change continues, Yang Jian can still restore his ability to move in the lake.
I can wait, but Ah Hong and Li Jun can't wait. This action has just begun, and it cannot be too much loss. The most urgent task is to find a way to save Ah Hong's life. As long as Ah Hong does not die, Li Jun will not die, and this action is not a failure.
Yang Jian was getting a little better at this moment and thought about how to reverse the situation.
He felt that he had to find a way to protect Ah Hong.
But what can I do now?
The ghost's eyes rotate.
At the bottom of the lake, Yang Jian not only saw the black coffin with a corner open, but also saw a cabinet covered with red paint in the mud in an inconspicuous corner.
That's... a ghost cabinet.
The ghost cabinet was sinking in the mud at this moment, as if it was trapped in it and could not get out of it.
What is this ghost cabinet? Its curse can actually extend into the ghost lake.Yang Jian was shocked and suspicious.
It seemed that the appearance of the ghost cabinet reminded him that even in such a place, the transaction could still continue.
Do you want to take advantage of the situation and let me start a new round of transactions at this time?
He gradually understood the idea of this ghost cabinet.
Under such desperate situations, it is indeed easy for people to urgently seek help.
But Yang Jian was very calm and not even panicked at all.
Even if he is trapped here, he can survive here for a long time, and there will be no threat of death in a short period of time.
now.
Yang Jian's hands and feet resumed some movements again, and he found that he could slowly walk under the water.
After he was able to move, his mind became active again.
I don’t need the ghost cabinet to protect myself, so it is irrational to start the transaction. However, if I use the ghost cabinet, I might be able to save Ah Hong now. As long as I protect Ah Hong and Li Jun, everything will be fine after I resume the operation. Without Li Jun’s ghost fire connecting to the Ping An Building, it will be difficult for me to leave here.
Yang Jian's ghost eyes continued to stare at the ghost cabinet not far away.
After a brief thought, he thought of a special method.
A method that doesn't have to start a transaction, but can use the ghost cabinet to help him save Ah Hong.
Yang Jian couldn't move his hands and feet flexibly, but underwater his body was light and he still had some ability to move.
He tried his best to approach the ghost cabinet, and at the same time he also found a sticker on his body.
This is a wish sticker. Writing the wish on the sticker will be fulfilled. It was obtained from the little girl named Zhao Ya before.
The effect of wish stickers in the ghost lake is mostly invalid, but if I write down my wish to save Ah Hong and send it to the ghost cabinet, the ghost cabinet can block the influence of the ghost lake. At that time, the wish stickers will work. Once the wish stickers work, the wish stickers will conflict with the ghost cabinet transaction.
At that time, will the ghost cabinet transaction work, or will the stickers that realize their wishes work?Or are both affected and not working?
This is a supernatural hedging.
It was also the only way Yang Jian could think of protecting Ah Hong.
As long as this step is successful, he can quietly wait for his complete recovery of action, then get rid of the influence of the ghost lake and return to the lake surface.
As for the coffin, I can't care for the time being. I don't have the ability to touch the coffin that is suspected to be the source of the Ghost Lake.
While approaching the ghost cabinet, Yang Jian's ghost eyes glanced at the black coffin again.
Some kind of connection and induction are getting deeper and deeper.
He knew that he could only resume his actions by being affected by the things in the coffin, otherwise Yang Jian would have floated in the water like others and could not recover.
In fact.
What Yang Jian didn't know was that he was not affected by the ghost in the coffin.
But in the world of memory, he defeated the evil ghost who invaded the memory and was now mastering the evil ghost in the ghost realm.
No.
Strictly speaking, this is not a control because the ghost is still in the ghost lake and not in Yang Jian.
But Yang Jian is gradually possessing the supernatural power of the Ghost Lake.
Therefore, this is more appropriate to call it stealing.
Yang Jian was constantly stealing the supernatural power of Guihu in a way that he didn't even know.
As for the limit of stealing, no one knows.
Outside Taiping Ancient Town.
Feng Quan carried two corpses wrapped in bed sheets and followed the hotel's boss Liu to a wasteland by the river outside Taiping Ancient Town.
This wasteland is covered with weeds, and the weeds are particularly lush, taller than any one, and lush. In contrast, the weeds in other places are short, thin, and wilted. I don’t know if it is because of the fertile wasteland or the abundant water source near the river.
