Chapter 62: The Big Puddle?

Before they got closer, Ah Qing and Da Zhu felt a strong wind from the water mixed with a disgusting stench.

A Qing and the two stood on a dirt slope in the south, hiding in the tall grass, and could see the appearance of the big puddle from a distance, the name of the big puddle was just the name of several surrounding villages, called many generations, and the name had not been changed, through the words of the old man in the village, this puddle should have appeared at the end of the Ming Dynasty, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a big flood around, the water had no place to flow, and the crops in the field were flooded, and then several villages organized to dig such a puddle, at the beginning it was as big as an acre of land, but it was very deep, nearly ten meters, and it was used for water storage and drainage。

At that time, the village was not what it is now, and now the surrounding villages also appeared later, settled here, and gradually formed a village, as for where the previous village went, no one knows, but this big puddle has been retained, it has never dried up for hundreds of years, and it is getting bigger and bigger, his has long been bigger than the lake, but the people in the surrounding villages have called it a big puddle since childhood, so it has always been called a big puddle, in fact, it is now dozens of acres of land, vast, and sometimes even a glance can not see the edge, very wide。

Listen to the old people in the village said, many years ago when the village just moved over, the village is not far from the big puddle, and then there are always children drowned in it, and even adults drowned in it, the most miraculous thing is that once, a baby, can not run, both parents are in the house with the doll to sleep, but in the middle of the night to see that the doll is gone, this can be anxious, looking for most of the night, and when I found the doll actually drowned in the big puddle, the body of the flesh floated on the water, all soaked, you must know that the parents can always be around to watch, squint and open again, the doll can run to the big puddle by itself?

According to their recollections, they were inexplicably very sleepy that night, and they couldn't open their eyes, as if something was holding them and not letting them move, and when they could open them, the doll was gone, and when they found the doll again, the doll had drowned in the puddle.

At that time, there was a lot of uproar, and it was thought that there was something unclean in the water. At that time, the puddle was not so big, at best, it was more than an acre of land, and the doll's uncle, uncle, and relatives were also very sad and indignant at that time, and gathered a group of people to fill in the puddle, but who knew that something happened that night.

Before the gang could fill in the puddle, a red bump grew on their bodies, wrists, necks, and faces, like mosquito bites, flat bumps that bulged out of their skin and didn't hurt or itch to the touch.

They were startled at the time, and seemed to be a little suspicious and afraid, but they didn't see pain or itching, thinking it was allergies, and then they didn't care, and then their hearts were filled with grief and indignation again, and they carried shovels and hoes and went to the big puddle with great momentum.

And the unthinkable thing happened soon, as the gang got closer to the big puddle, the red bump became redder, and even began to turn purple and black, and the change in color soon attracted everyone's attention, these people looked at each other, as if they were a little scared, but they did not feel any other discomfort except that they felt the pimple turn purple and black.

I don't know who shouted, pretending to be a ghost, him, and then there was a twenty-year-old strong man who carried a hoe and went straight to the puddle, and everyone looked at him, and a few people quickly followed.

There are still 100 meters away from the puddle, and the strong guy who was striding forward suddenly fell to the ground with a bang, and then rolled on the ground in pain, and a miserable cry kept coming out of his mouth, itchy, itchy, itchy.

The strong guy scratched vigorously on his body, and in a blink of an eye, he was covered with blood marks, his hard nails even buckled the flesh off, his hands were full of blood, and there seemed to be traces of flesh left between his nails.

With him falling to the ground, the moment behind him also fell to the ground and scratched, but they were still far away from the puddle, Shengsheng endured the itching, they had a clear feeling, the closer to the puddle, the more itchy the pimple on the body, and then they immediately decided, one of them grabbed the strong guy who fell to the ground first, and quickly dragged it back, and the group of people behind him also quickly retreated, and the horror in their hearts filled their hearts, and they quickly returned to the village, and they didn't dare to mention the matter of filling the puddle again.

It is also strange to say that after returning to the village, the pimples on their bodies gradually subsided, only the strong guy who rushed out first, not long after he came back, died, the villagers said that he offended the existence of the puddle, and was killed by the contents of the waterhole, and no one in the village dared to mention the matter of filling the puddle again, but it didn't take long for the people of the village to gradually move out of here.

There is another thing that has scared the village to this day, after the death of the twenty-year-old strong man, dozens of black beetles like fingernails were drilled out of his body, with three eyes, eight pairs of sharp claws, the claws were like a sickle breaking through the flesh and blood, and drilled out of the corpse, but as soon as he came out, he instantly died and did not move, and soon turned into a puddle of viscous liquid, dripping into the dirt on the ground, and then seeping into the ground.

Those who used to fill in the puddle, after moving away from the village, hired a mage, and after drinking the runic water, they all pulled out a puddle of white worms, like maggots, but shorter than maggots, looking like round balls, when they were just pulled down, the white bugs were still wriggling, but soon turned into a transparent viscous liquid and disappeared.

The mage said that the evil in this place is too heavy, and there is a strong evil thing, which is sealed here, and this evil thing is powerful, and he is invincible, and the worm, called the corpse spirit, will quickly grow close to the mother's body, and if it is far away, it will slowly degenerate and die.

The specific situation, due to the long time, the old people in the village are not too clear, only know that since then there are no more people and villages around this puddle for several miles, and this is also a forbidden place for the surrounding people on weekdays.

Later, after many years, I heard that a powerful Taoist priest came here, stayed near the puddle for three days and three nights, and there was a roar like a beast from it, and finally the Taoist priest subdued the existence in the puddle, and then slowly, it has been fine, and there are more fields around the puddle, but they are all some distance from the puddle, but then the puddle is getting bigger and bigger, and the field is getting closer and closer to the puddle.

In recent years, due to the control of adults in the surrounding waterhole, no children are allowed to come over to swim and play, and once they catch the game and beat half to death, basically no children dare to come. Only a few bear children who do not listen to persuasion, greedy for the shade of the puddle in summer, and want to catch some big fish in the puddle to eat, will secretly come to play, although most of them are fine, but in recent years they have drowned three or four, slowly, even the bear children here do not dare to come.

The surrounding fields are gradually abandoned, and a lot of trees have been planted, thinking that when they grow up and sell trees, this place has gradually become a forbidden place in the real sense, the dense woods cover the sky and the sun, and it is extremely gloomy, only a few birds scattered, so that people can feel a trace of vitality, and all around are dense reeds, covering the surrounding water surface, the waterfront situation, standing below can not see the inside at all, not close, no one can see inside.

At this time, A-Qing and Dazhu stood on the small soil slope in the south, this small soil slope was the place where the brick kiln put the soil before, and it was piled up more than ten meters high, and then I didn't know how the brick kiln was yellow, and the brick kiln also collapsed, and it was long lost to see where the brick kiln was, only this small soil slope has been there, and there are a few stout locust trees growing on it, crooked, it seems to have grown by itself, and it is not who planted it.

After the brick kiln was abandoned, trees were planted around it, just wrapped the soil slope in it, because the water level of the puddle rose, the water has spread to the bottom of the soil slope, not far in front of the dense reeds, but at this time most of it has been submerged under the water, and the exposed part is still blown off by the wind, blown and broken, scattered on the water surface, a mess.

But it's okay, so that Ah Qing's vision is not blocked.

At this time, the big puddle is looking at the water surface hundreds of meters long, and the central island has long been gone, I am afraid that it has been submerged under the water and disappeared.

At this time, it was impossible to tell where the center of the puddle was, because there were some places on the edge, and Ah Qing couldn't see clearly, and as far as the eye could see, it was all water.

Ah Qing stood on the dirt slope and used the method of observing the qi, his eyes squinted, held his breath, and his consciousness was concentrated in his eyes, and then Ah Qing looked against the wind blowing in the distance and saw that the water surface was covered with gray gas, and even the water seemed to be mixed with ash gas, which was constantly spreading from the water surface upwards.

The wind in this place was very strong, and it seemed that Ah Qing's whole person was about to float, only the big pillar stood firmly in place, his eyes squinted, and he looked at the water in shock using the method of contemplation.

The water is mixed with a thick gray gas, constantly emitting and rotating to cover half of the sky, and when you look at it with the method of public opinion, the entire line of sight is blocked, and you can't see the surroundings clearly, but if you use the naked eye, it will not be affected.

As the gray gas emitted, the rancid stench that pierced the brain also came to the face, and the smell almost made people stop breathing and couldn't help but go crazy.

According to Ah Qing's observation, with the breathing, some gray gas is integrated into the body, and he instantly feels a coolness in the body.

Ah Qing held back the strong smell and looked ahead.

The gray gas had already covered the entire water surface, spinning and drilling into the sky, which greatly affected Ah Qing's vision, and he couldn't see the distance at all, a gray expanse, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Ah Qing couldn't help the rancid smell a little, and several times he wanted to retch, but he was held back, and with a ruthless heart, he ran the rotating internal energy in his body into his eyes, nourished his eyes with internal strength, and saw if he could break the vanity in front of him.

You must know that Ah Qing's binocular acupoint has not yet been developed, and it is very dangerous to rashly let the internal energy enter, and it may even burst the eyes.

But at this time, Ah Qing couldn't think about it so much, he was about to lose the rancid smell.
