CHAPTER XXVI

"Quack"

Suddenly, a whole sound came, Wang Wu quickly turned around, rolled on the ground twice, and in an instant the whole person had rolled to the outside of the boulder platform, of course, in the panic did not find the right direction, he rolled directly to the side of the boulder platform more than one meter high, the whole person fell directly, and then a scream came.

At this time, a few timid people had already turned around and were about to run, only to hear Wang Wu's cursing voice from the edge of the Sword Lake, "You dead bird, what are you call......ing?"

Hearing Wang Wu's call, everyone wiped the cold sweat on their faces, and then returned to their position just now to watch Wang Wu's every move.

After asking for directions by throwing stones just now, and the temptation of the boulder platform, this time Wang Wu also became bolder, he cursed, patted the dust on his body, rubbed the sore places on his body, got up with a knife in one hand, supported the edge of the boulder platform with the other, and jumped on the platform steadily with both legs.

"Lao Tzu Wang Wu wants to see what kind of thing you are, dare to hurt so many of my clansmen in the blue sky and daylight, no matter what it is, you come out for me, I want you to give me an explanation. Do you hear it, come out, you come out........." Wang Wu shouted as he kept picking up the stones on the ground and throwing them into the water.

After almost a pillar of incense, Wang Wu saw that there was no movement on the lake, swallowed his saliva, and walked towards the lake with courage. Once again, the hearts of the people were lifted up by him.

Although this sword lake is called a lake, but in fact, the area is not large, only two or three acres of area, the water is not too deep, the deepest place can just pass the top of Wang Wu's head, I saw Wang Wu flowing farther and farther has approached the position of the black hole in the center of the lake, his feet are full of glittering gold, I saw him take a deep breath and plunge into the water and keep picking up gold.

Seeing that Wang Wu was fine, everyone couldn't bear it anymore, and they got up and ran towards Sword Lake. Later, the two people who ran back didn't dare to go because they were timid, and they couldn't persuade the others, so they could only watch them run towards Sword Lake from a distance.

When everyone arrived at the lake, Wang Wu had already fished out a lot of gold and threw it on the shore, he took off all his clothes and trousers, tied them into two pockets, and put all the gold in them. Seeing that everyone arrived, he beckoned everyone and said, "Come with me, there is a big one here, I can't lift it, come and carry it with me, say okay, this big one is mine, you leave me alone to explore the way, this is what you should help me"

At this time, everyone can't take care of anything, just help it, and you can pick up a lot of gold after a while. Immediately, under the leadership of Wang Wu, everyone flowed towards the center of the lake. When they arrived at the location Wang Wei said, there was indeed a piece of gold that was the size of a wooden basin, and two or three men couldn't lift it when they dived, and finally everyone dived into the water together to lift the big piece of gold.

The crowd stumbled to the lake carrying the gold, "Oh, that's not right. Why has this gold changed color?" Wang Wu called out as he looked at the large gold nugget in his hand.

I saw that the large gold nugget they were carrying was slowly fading to reveal a jet-black black, and in a blink of an eye, the large gold nugget in their hands had turned into a large black stone, and the stone was also covered with dense incomprehensible characters.

They threw away the stones and turned to look into the lake, only to see that all the gold at the bottom of the lake was gone in a blink of an eye. Wang Wu hurriedly ran to the place where he had put the gold just now and poured out the gold wrapped in his clothes, and there was still a shadow of gold, which was full of stones.

"Run!" In fact, before Wang Wu could shout this word, several people had already run towards the way they came, but it was already too late at this time, and the black fog enveloped the entire lake and the area of the boulder platform in an instant, and everyone was shrouded in the black fog in an instant, followed by a series of screams.

Seeing this situation, the two people who stayed behind wanted to ring the gong to call the police, but now they found out that the person in charge of striking the gong also ran to the sword lake and did not leave the gong at all.

The two were in a panic, and suddenly the screams by the lake stopped, and the two looked towards the lake, and were directly frightened and sat down on the ground, only to see that the black mist had drifted out of the boulder platform and was spreading in their direction.

The two hurriedly got up and ran in the direction of the village, thinking that they would quickly run to the village to report the news, but because the path leading to the Sword Lake was slippery and narrow, coupled with the panic in their hearts, one of them slipped under his feet, and with his hand, the two fell off the cliff together.

When the two woke up, they saw that the black fog was gone, so they helped each other to go to the village, and when they arrived at the village, they saw that the black fog was constantly receding from the village, and the two knew that the village must have suffered, and they didn't dare to go to the village, so they only supported each other all the way to the land temple.

After listening to the young man's story, the patriarch sat on the ground, he really chose the wrong person, otherwise how could there be what happened last night. Seeing that the patriarch was slumped on the ground, the pot suddenly exploded in the room, mostly cursing Wang Lao Wu's words, but what is the use of cursing at this time?

And the patriarch sat on the ground without saying a word, shaking his head constantly, his trembling hands kept grabbing his hair, and at this moment his mind was full of remorse, how could he hand over such an important matter of guarding the Sword Lake to Wang Lao Wu in such a moment? How could there be such a person who asked for money and did not want his life at such a life-threatening moment? But is remorse useful? This is as meaningless as swearing.

"Brother, you have to hold on, so many people are waiting for you to pay attention, there are hundreds of lives here!" an old man came to the patriarch's side, bowed down and whispered in the patriarch's ear.

The patriarch raised his head, his eyes moistened with tears, and he motioned for his nephew beside him to help him up. After standing up, the patriarch poked the ground three times with the cane in his hand, and everyone in the room stopped cursing and threw an expectant look at the patriarch.

"Let's go, let's go out and have a look, I'll take you out of this village, the world is so big, I don't believe that our people can't find a place to stay. The young people walked with me, and the old, the sick, the sick, and the women and children followed. After that, he turned to look at the old man who was talking to him just now, "Sixth, you take a few young juniors, if you wait to go out and meet the black fog, I will fight with the people in front of me, you protect the female dependents and children and rush out, you must protect them, they are the hope of our clan in the future!" After speaking, he looked at the old man with moist eyes.

"Big brother, no problem, look at me, the young offspring of the sixth room stood up for me, did you hear what the patriarch said?

"Can" more than two dozen young people responded in unison.

"Good. Let's go!" After saying that, the patriarch took the lead and was the first to push open the door and walk out.

A group of young people followed them out of the house and came to the outside of the Land Temple, and the scene in front of them suddenly stunned everyone. A third of the houses in the village have been engulfed in flames, and the raging fires are still engulfing the houses, and centuries of business have been wasted. But what is more terrifying than the raging fire is that the village has been shrouded in a thin black fog at this moment, and when you look around, the village is surrounded by a faint black fog, although it is not as strong as the black fog you saw yesterday, but you can still see that it is the same black fog as yesterday, because this fog is like life, constantly surging.

Looking at the situation in front of him, "Patriarch, what should I do here?" a young man approached the patriarch and asked.

"Copy the guy, bring everything that can be used, we will fight with him," said the patriarch through gritted teeth as he looked at the burned village.

With a stick of incense, the patriarch led a team of nearly 100 people towards the direction of the village entrance, some of them were holding firewood knives, some were holding harpoons, some were holding flat poles, and some were holding lit torches...... With such equipment, no one believed that it could really hurt the Black Mist, but it could be seen from their expressions that they had the determination to die because they had their families behind them.

What this world cannot completely defeat is the determination of people, and when people make up their minds to die, there may really be nothing that cannot be overcome, even if their bodies are defeated, but their spirits cannot be defeated.

When the team was about to reach the entrance of the village, they saw from a distance that there was a team of officers and soldiers stationed on the other side of the black fog at the entrance of the village. After seeing the officers and soldiers, everyone saw hope, but when they looked closer, the patriarch's heart was half cold. The leader of this team of officers and soldiers turned out to be Zhou Tianba.

This week, Tianba is a well-known greedy person, as long as he sees something, he will definitely try his best to get it, and he is unscrupulous.

About two or three years ago, Zhou Tianba fell in love with a piece of feng shui treasure land in the village, and he found the patriarch who wanted to buy that piece of status for his father's tomb, saying that he would pay for it, and he would definitely not pay for it. Originally, the patriarch didn't want to offend someone like Zhou Tianba, but that piece of feng shui treasure land happened to be on the edge of his village, and it was impossible for him to let Zhou Tianba repair his father's grave next to his village.

For this matter, the patriarch gave Zhou Tianba a lot of money and things, but this week Tianba couldn't get the treasure of feng shui, he didn't say anything, he still made a lot of small moves secretly, and finally in order to settle the matter, the patriarch had to find a relationship and make some money, and this week Tianba didn't embarrass the people in the village.

But today, why did the government send him today? Now things will be difficult to do. But at this juncture, the patriarch has no choice. He trembled and bowed to Zhou Tianba at the entrance of the village and said, "Lord Zhou, we have a strange fog here, fortunately, Lord Zhou, you came to help, and now Lord Zhou is invited to lead troops into the village to rescue you and others!"

"Hahahaha" Lord Zhou smiled even more when he saw the patriarch bowing to him. "Old man Wang, I'll just say, you will have a time to beg me, what's wrong with you?

"Lord Zhou, we are all ordinary people who do our duty, everything is because of this fog, it looks like nothing now, but it can eat people, dozens of people in our clan have died in its hands in the past two days, please make a clear decision!" After speaking, the patriarch bowed deeply to Zhou Tianba.

", I haven't heard that fog can kill people, don't make up some nonsense to fool me, I'm not scared by Zhou Tianba" While saying, this Zhou Tianba walked towards the faint fog, standing still in front of the fog, he looked at the fog for a while, raised his hand and prepared to touch it.

"Touch it, you touch it, what's wrong, are you afraid?——" At this moment, the patriarch's heart really hopes that Zhou Tianba can touch that thin layer of black mist, maybe the black mist will kill Zhou Tianba in one fell swoop like the clansman who swallowed him yesterday. At that time, the remaining officers and soldiers may rush in to save their master, and he and his people will be able to flee in the chaos. "Hurry up and touch it, you touch it!"

"Haha, haha, hahaha-" Zhou Tianba's fingers, which were already about to touch the black mist, stopped only an inch away from the black mist, and he laughed out loud after stopping the movement in his hand.

"Dead old man, why should I try? What if what you say is true, I'm waiting for you to die right now, and then everything in your clan is mine! Hehe, what I'm seeing now is a group of rebels with weapons under the pretext of the epidemic, I can immediately encircle and suppress you, and then take my brothers back to receive the reward, hahahaha!" Zhou Tianba said the previous words very quietly, only he and a few people nearby could hear them, and after softly saying the previous words, Zhou Tianba laughed and turned around and walked towards the soldiers behind him, issuing orders to the soldiers as he walked.
