The three of them came to the approach bridge along the beach, and Yan Snake frowned and was puzzled: "Eh, why do you feel that you haven't seen this approach bridge when you came here before?"

Chu Yu craned his neck and glanced at it.

The strangest thing is that the other end of this approach bridge is not connected anywhere, but is diagonally inserted into the water.

"yes, I haven't seen it before. Chu Yu was also secretly strange, walked to the guardrail and said in confusion: "The dock has long been abandoned, and there is no boat docked to do anything on the bridge, there is no boat or boat in this vicinity, and why is it still in the water?"

Qin Beige squatted down and sniffed his nose: "There is a peculiar smell!"

Chu Yu couldn't help asking, "Have there been women here?"

Yan Snake rolled his eyes: "It's not that smell, it's the smell of paint." ”

The flame snake pointed to the approach bridge and said, "The approach bridge is new, we haven't seen it before, which means that it has only recently been pushed diagonally into the water, and it still smells of paint." ”

"Oh, that's right. Chu Yu was even more confused: "The approach bridge that was just built, and then pushed into the water, is there a brain disease?"

Qin Beige, who had been silent, said lightly: "Senior Brother Snake, take a look into the water!"

Yan Snake rolled his eyes, he felt that it was a complete mistake for him to admit marriage to his senior brother.

took off his clothes, and the flame snake pierced directly into it.

After half a minute, there was not even a single blister on the calm water, and Chu Yu couldn't help asking, "Dude, your junior brother won't be drowned, why don't you go down and take a look?"

Qin Beige didn't pay attention to Chu Yu, just looked at the calm sea.

Seeing the time pass minute by minute, just when even Chu Yu was about to lose his breath, the flame snake finally came out from under the water.

The water level is relatively low, at least more than a meter from the shore, and the flame snake with its head exposed doesn't know how to use its strength, so it jumped directly to the guardrail in the water, and jumped over with one turnover.

After the flame snake jumped to the shore, Chu Yu realized that he was still holding an iron chain in his hand, and hurriedly ran over to help.

The two of them worked together to pull up the iron chain that was at least 30 meters long, and the iron chain was actually connected to a boxy copper box half a meter high.

Chu Yu fixed his eyes and his brows jumped wildly.

Although the copper box is not big, the pattern of a ghost head on it is very terrifying, and this ghost head is scattered, and there is an arm chewing in the mouth, the pattern is lifelike and intimidating.

Qin Beige, who didn't move his mouth and didn't move his hands on the side, frowned slightly: "Prisoner Ghost Fan Cage?"

Yan Snake's face was not very good-looking: "That's right, there are many more down there." ”

Chu Yu hurriedly asked, "What is the Prison Ghost Fan Cage?"

The flame snake pulled out the dagger from his waist and explained as he picked the lock.

The so-called prison ghost cage, also known as the prison ghost box, is somewhat similar to the Taoist trapped corpse urn and demon coffin.

Whether it is a ghost or a corpse, if you don't want to completely eliminate it, you have to be imprisoned in a special container, Taoist children mostly use trapped corpse urns and demon coffins, and the yin and yang warlocks of the island country use prison ghosts and cages.

However, the inside and outside of the prison cage are not engraved with talismans or charms, but are fixed on the inside of the container

The mechanism of the imprisoned things, etc., and the material of the entire copper box is blessed by the monk.

Because they don't engrave talismans or town talismans, the gods of the island countries have always claimed that they developed it alone, and they didn't learn from any Chinese experience, so they had to apply for a patent.

It's a pity that long before the appearance of the prison ghost cage, there was something similar to this in China during the Tang Dynasty, but at that time, brass was more valuable, and the production process was too cumbersome, and the ancestors finally found that the carved talisman was more cost-effective, so they abandoned this kind of thing to imprison ghosts.

The pattern on the cage is not a demon head, but one of the many mythological versions of the island country, the mother goddess, called Izanami or Izang Ranzun, also known as the goddess of the Yellow Springs of Filth, and the mythology records that all the gods of the island country were born to her and her brother Izanagi.

In terms of gender relations, hehe, it is quite characteristic of an island country.

Of course, in some versions, Izanami is a female figure, but in the Taoist religion of the island country, it is a demon figure.

Izanami's work is a bit like that of the god of death or the king of Yama in China.

The image of the king of Yama or other myths harvesting life is relatively high, such as the soul disappearing with a wave of the palm of his hand, or waiting quietly after death and leading the way to the underworld.

But this Izanami is more direct, that is, he opened his mouth wide and began to devour the corpse with big teeth, and when he was finished, he was full of words.

Izanami's mouth is depicted on the prisoner's cage with a hairy arm, which means that the man is not dead, and he still has an arm left, as long as he opens the prisoner's cage, he can pull the arm out of the unlucky ghost.

When the Yan Snake was holding the dagger and preparing to pry the box, Chu Yu was far away, afraid that something would run out of it.

He roughly understands that the ghost cage is a prisoner of everything, but not a living person!

Of course, if they were alive, they would have drowned.

Inserting the dagger into the edge of the prisoner's box, the flame snake pried open a gap two fingers wide with a slight force.

At the same time, the pattern on the copper box began to change, and the demon, Izana, who was in charge of life and death, slowly spat out a shoulder.

Chu Yu, who had been nervous, was startled, and hid behind Qin Beige and shouted: "Damn, I moved, I really vomited!"

This call startled the Yan Snake who was concentrating on prying the box: "You are quiet, you are scared to death." ”

After saying that, the flame snake closed the gap in the copper box again, and the demon pattern returned to its original appearance again, still leaving this arm outside its mouth.

Chu Yu suddenly realized, it turned out that there should be some kind of mechanism in the box, as the box opened, the evil ghost on the pattern would continue to change, if you didn't know, I really thought that with the opening of the box, the evil ghost would spit out what was swallowed.

I have to say that the invention of this thing by the islanders can be regarded as painstaking, and it is too deceptive.

With practical actions, Chu Yu popularized science

, The flame snake inserted the dagger into the gap again, stepped on the top with his foot, and with a force from his waist, with a click, the copper box was pried open.

As the copper box was completely pried open, the flame snake kicked the copper box down, took a step back and carried the dagger with a guarded face.

There was a burst of liquid from the copper box, and it smelled foul, followed by something like a ball of black yarn.

When Chu Yu looked intently, the black plush ball finally revealed the true face of Lushan.

I saw that this guy was covered with long brown hair, similar to a human being, with a head and facial features, but only less than a meter tall, and the fingers were very short, long and long, sharp nails, cold at a glance, a bit like an ape, because the head was covered with long black hair, so it was not clear to see the specific appearance of the facial features.

After coming out of the copper box, the thing actually moved, and its round head flicked, revealing a glowing eye, looking directly at the nearest flame snake.

At this time, the three of them finally saw the whole picture of this thing clearly.

Chu Yu subconsciously exclaimed, "Ghoul?"

In the folk, this thing is called a water ghost, or a water monkey, anyway, the name is different in various places, with a water word, it must live in the water, and sometimes it will go ashore, but the time is very short, and it is generally in wild water sources such as mountain ponds or reservoirs.

The underwater force is extremely strong, and when it is detached from the water, it will become weaker and weaker over time.

In the water, it's incredibly powerful and fast, and if it weren't so bumpy, it wouldn't have had anything to do with Phelps once it competed in the Olympics.

The island nation also has legends about this thing, and it is also shrouded in a layer of mystery, saying that this thing can dig under the water and can travel through different ponds and rivers, and once it encounters the unlucky ghost who has fallen into the water, it will be dragged to the bottom of the water, and then use the silt to block the unlucky ghost's strange and suffocate it to death.

Chu Yu thinks that the island country's killing methods of demons and monsters are a bit redundant, such as this ghoul, who is specially pulled underwater, waiting for death due to lack of oxygen, and then it will be over, and he also uses mud to block his facial features, even if he doesn't block people, he can't breathe.

In island legends, this thing also likes to drink human blood and feed on people's internal organs and eyeballs.

Anyway, in the legends of the island country, the general demons and monsters love to drink human blood and eat people's internal organs and eyeballs.

Basically, every island nation has been warned by their parents not to go near the water's edge since they were young, because there are water monkeys inside.

A shrill cry came from the ghoul's mouth, and then it waved its furry arm again, and a foul of foul sludge flung at the Serpent's face, and with a single force of its feet, it pounced on the nearest Serpent.

The flame snake dodged the mud sideways, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of its mouth, and the dagger was thrown out with a sound that broke through the air.

The ghoul who was originally in mid-air actually dodged the dagger in a posture that was extremely inconsistent with the laws of physics, and his long nails pierced the face of the flame snake.

The flame snake didn't have time to continue to retreat, and bent over and rolled a little embarrassed, which was only temporary

Escape.

And the ghoul missed, crouched on the ground, and after kicking, rushed towards the flame snake again, because the feet were abnormally developed, and the speed of the ghoul was fleeting.

At this moment, Qin Beige on the side moved, and his body was like a ghost.

With a soft roar, Qin Beige stood in front of the flame snake with his hands behind his back, his right leg was slightly raised, and with a slight sweep, it was directly pumped on the head of the ghoul.

With that kick, the ghoul flew at least ten meters away, as if it had been hit head-on by a speeding train.

Qin Beige threw the wooden sword in his hand towards the flame snake: "This sword, called No Regrets, slay demons and eliminate demons, and never regret dying!"

Yan Snake took the wooden sword "No regrets" and laughed: "I know!"

After saying that, the flame snake rushed backwards with a wooden sword and rushed towards the ghoul who had just struggled to get up.

The way the flame snake used the sword was different from Qin Beige.

The latter is dressed in white and fluttering, and he looks like a ghost, and every move is like the male protagonist who came out of martial arts, and he is also full of ornamentation when facing the enemy.

Look at the flame snake again, it's okay for this guy to hold a sword with both hands, but the posture is not very good-looking, just like the big cross slash of the ancient European knights, opening and closing, either vertically or horizontally, anyway, all of them are splits.

If you hold a sword with one hand, your posture is even more ugly, just like using a machete, slashing and swinging, knowing that you are using a sword, but not knowing that you think you are using a kitchen knife.

What's more, while doing it, the flame snake is also scolding, what x your mother killed you, your mother x has the ability not to run or something like that, it's like a street gangster fighting with people.

Although his body shape was not as good as Qin Beige, with the wooden sword in his hand, the combat power of the flame snake rose in a straight line.

Chu Yu suddenly remembered, Yan Snake had said before that he didn't take advantage of the guy, otherwise he wouldn't be so embarrassed when he fought a few times.

Chu Yu always thought that Yan Snake was suspected of bragging, and it was only now that he knew that Yan Snake was not exaggerating at all.

With the wooden sword "No Regrets", the flame snake doesn't need to dodge and move at all, just "chop", and the falling ghouls who cut it scream.

In a moment, the ghoul was covered in dense wounds, and green blood flowed everywhere.

This is still the fire snake did not make a dead hand, otherwise the draugl would have been beheaded with a sword.

After playing with the sword for a while, the flame snake was satisfied, and finally, he threw it out with the wooden sword.

Like a meteor, the wooden sword stabbed directly into the chest of the ghoul who was waving his nails in midair.

The power of the wooden sword was surprisingly great, and it directly pinned the ghoul to the ground.

The ghouls who were suffering from the severe pain continued to struggle, and there were bursts of sharp screams from their mouths, and the flame snake strolled over, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, and stomped on the limbs of this thing, and after four feet, the ghouls were all limbs and bones, and the pain was unbearable, and the howl from his mouth shook the eardrums of the three people.
