Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Confrontation Through the Door 3
Dong Xiaowei said sharply: "Nonsense! I am more prepared than you, why do you say that I lost?"
I said lightly, "Why do you say you won?"
Dong Xiaowei said: "The water gods of Fuxian Lake are nothing more than the products of the witchcraft of the Dian Kingdom, in other words, they are the guardians of the ancient Dian Witchcraft that used secret techniques to guard the altar of the Lonely Mountain. You and I both came for the water mysticism, but I got there one step ahead of you and found a legend you hadn't heard of. ”
Dong Xiaowei said: "Every once in a while, the phantom of the ancient city will appear in Fuxian Lake. Once the water comes out of the ancient city, the residents of the neighborhood will start offering boiled meat and eggs to the water god. ”
Half of the legend Dong Xiaowei said has been confirmed. Among the legends brought back by my classmates, there is a record of the water in the ancient city in the "Chengjiang County Chronicles" of the Republic of China, but he did not say that the nearby residents would sacrifice to the god of water.
Dong Xiaowei continued: "I have carefully analyzed the reasons why the water god came out of the water. The god of water spends most of his time dormant in his lair, coming out of the water every once in a while just to find food. Their main source of food is in the water, and of course a small number of water gods come ashore in search of food. ”
"I have analyzed the time when the water god comes out of the water, and I found that several times the water god comes out of the water in July and August every year, that is, the time when the fish formation appears in a concentrated manner. This time coincides with the ripening season for the fruit of the large-leaved ficus on the shore of Fuxian Lake. ”
There are indeed many large-leaved banyan trees growing along the shores of Fuxian Lake, and those leafy and intertwined banyan trees add a scenery to Fuxian Lake.
Dong Xiaowei continued: "The large-leaved ficus fruit falls into Fuxian Lake in pieces, which will naturally cause the herring fish in the lake to compete for food, which is the reason for the frequent appearance of fish formations in Fuxian Lake. The herring that eats the fruit of the banyan tree is the main source of food for the water god. ”
"I sent someone to follow the water god, and found that the water god was extremely sensitive to the smell of herring after eating the fruit of the banyan tree. As long as I rub the potion on your body from time to time, I can make the water god find you again and again. ”
I said in a deep voice, "I see. Admired. ”
I've never been able to understand why the water god has been following me, it turns out that the secret is here. Human sense of smell is not very sharp, and many animals can smell odors that humans cannot detect, especially for people like me who don't have a very good nose. As long as Dong Xiaowei controls the smell at the critical point of ordinary people's sense of smell, even if I am asked to hold something, I can't smell anything, not to mention that she just rubbed something on me a little.
I continued to ask, "Chen Mingyu, the bronze in their hands was taken away by you, right?"
The water gods who besieged the villa were also led to the villa by Dong Xiaowei, but in fact, it had nothing to do with Chen Mingyu and the heavy weapons they fished out of the lake.
If I'm not mistaken, the bronze tree should have fallen into Dong Xiaowei's hands by now, but she used other methods to get the water god to find my head.
"That's right. Dong Xiaowei said, "Since you left the villa and went to the Boundary Fish Stone, I got the complete bronze tree, and I also analyzed the mystery of the water god. Based on the scene carved on that bronze object, I can deduce that the god of water will regularly select some strong people to be sent to the cave of the lonely mountain to be baptized by the gods, and become a new generation of water gods. ”
"Before I get this inference, I kept scaring you, just to interfere with your train of thought and let you go around the periphery of Fuxian Lake, so that I can uncover the secrets of Fuxian Lake one step ahead of you. ”
"When I learned the secret, I changed my mind. I wonder what kind of people meet the requirements to become a water god. There is a saying in our secret law that some people can unleash unprecedented potential under intense fear. That's why I designed the fish formation on the water. My purpose is to bring out your potential and make you the right target. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easier for me to just knock you out and throw you into the water?"
"Originally, I was going to get you all into the water, but unfortunately, you discovered the secrets of the cruise ship in the last period of time, and I could only get some of them into the water first. My men just got those fools back to the waters where the water gods frequented. I originally wanted to concentrate on dealing with you and Ye Xun, but I didn't expect you to meet the real water god first, which saved me a lot of things. ”
Dong Xiaowei continued: "I did inject some kind of secret medicine into Yang Guang and them, and my purpose was to prevent them from dying too quickly. But you don't have that kind of drug in your body. You survived, I didn't expect it. ”
Dong Xiaowei's voice couldn't help but bring a hint of pride: "Facts have proved that my inference is not wrong. Didn't you be led to the cave of the lonely mountain by the god of water? Yang Guang, didn't they also become the god of water in time?"
Dong Xiaowei's voice paused: "I really want to know now, why did you confidently say that you won." ”
I smiled and said, "If you weren't so anxious to calculate me, maybe you would still have a chance to win me." Because, at that time, I didn't doubt you. However, you were so anxious that you got me into the water before I could tell me what happened under the Boundary Fish Stone, and that made you lose completely. ”
Dong Xiaowei said with disdain in his tone: "What secrets will be under the Boundary Fish Stone, it is just a 'hell' for the tribe to bury corpses or exile prisoners. Except for a group of half-finished water gods, there was nothing else. ”
"You're not right, there's a coffin there. "I briefly told you what was going on underneath the Boundary Fish Stone.
Dong Xiaowei said: "What does this represent?"
What I said just now was just to test whether she had sent someone into the secret cave under the Boundary Fish Stone, and now it seems that she knows nothing about the things in the secret cave.
I smiled and said, "Dong Xiaowei, haven't you figured it out yet?"
"In the age of witchcraft, primitive people were most in awe of gods, followed by spirits, and were not so reverent of so-called ghosts. At that time, there was no complete ghost culture. So, in the age of witchcraft, ghosts were one level lower than humans. ”
"The Boundary Fish Stone Cave is located at the root of the building wood, which is where the underworld is located. The water god there is not terrifying, but a little stronger than ordinary people. The reason why they worship the stone gate is just to be able to reach the world through the stone gate. Isn't this similar to the reincarnation of ghosts later?"
Dong Xiaowei finally couldn't help but ask when he heard this, "What do you want to say?"
I deliberately said in a domineering tone, "What I want to tell you is that only when the water god reaches a certain level can he come out from below. At the beginning, I threw the ape's corpse into the coffin, but the stone door was not opened, and it was not until I accidentally stepped into the coffin that the stone door was officially opened, which means that those water gods can only leave the ground if they have raised themselves to a certain extent. ”
"The Ghost Shark is not something to be used against foreign enemies, but specifically to deal with those disobedient water gods. If they appear near the ancient city before they are fully grown, they will immediately become food for the Devil-faced Shark, and conversely, if they reach a certain level, the Devil-faced Shark will be helpless against them. ”
When I said this, my voice suddenly raised a few points: "Have you noticed a problem, that is, the water god in the ancient city is obviously much larger?"
Dong Xiaowei couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, because what I said was the truth.
I continued: "There is one more thing you haven't figured out, and that is the purpose of the existence of the ancient city water god. ”
"The meaning of the existence of the ancient city water god is the same as what you did to us, that is, to select the right person to send to the Lonely Mountain Cave. ”
"I don't know how you'll react to someone when you inject them, but I can tell you what I've been through. I've also been injected with something by the water god, so the rhythm of my breathing becomes unusually sluggish. Then, every time the water god gave me air, he would stuff something into my mouth, I thought, to make sure I didn't starve to death. ”
"I was lucky enough to survive, and I was also put into the cave by the god of water. However, they themselves did not enter, and besides, there were no other water gods in the cave. This proves one thing: the god of water has no other role than to bring people in. ”
"If it was thousands of years ago, when the Ancient Dian Kingdom still existed, the people who were brought in should have entered this bronze gate under the guidance of a wizard, and behind the gate was the real secret of the Ancient Dian Kingdom. ”
"Although the ancient Dian Kingdom no longer exists, and the ancient city has been submerged under Fuxian Lake, the surviving water gods are still faithfully carrying out their mission. So I said, you're actually losing. ”
Dong Xiaowei said sharply: "You are talking nonsense!"
I laughed and said, "I'm talking nonsense, you let your men go out and have a look." If I'm not mistaken, the water gods who brought us in should have all sunk to the bottom of the Immortal Lake. Because they have poured their own lives into our bodies, they will surely die. ”
Dong Xiaowei said in a deep voice: "You guys go out to see what the situation is, and come back and tell me immediately." ”
I'm actually talking nonsense, as long as Dong Xiaowei sends someone out, I can continue to delay time.
Not long after, I heard someone running over from a distance, the other party should have wanted to get close to talk to Dong Xiaowei, but the latter said sharply: "What do you see outside, tell me out loud!"
The man hesitated for a moment before saying, "All the water gods I have been tracking have sunk to the bottom of the Immortal Lake, and the scales on their bodies have begun to fall off, just like ...... It's like it's rotting fast. ”
Don't say it's Dong Xiaowei now, even I can't help but be slightly stunned: Am I really right?
