Chapter Forty-Seven: Darkness and Depth, Forever Lost
"Yes."
Murong Changqing admitted calmly, "There is one thing, I must remind you. I don't have a memory, but my body instinct tells me that I don't know you. ”
"Perhaps, I'm not the friend you're looking for."
Although I can't see her soul clearly, judging from the tone and breath, I can almost be 100% sure that this person must be Murong Changqing!
And I guess that the reason why she had a change was mostly because of the sudden extra black jade bead on her neck.
As long as the ink jade bead is removed, all the happiness will be revealed......
The black-brown reefs on both sides retreated rapidly, and the reefs were hundreds of meters high, towering like mountains, obscuring the sun's westward inclination.
The further I went, the more I realized how extraordinary this place was.
The general reef is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, like an awl, and it does not extend too high out of the sea.
The islands and reefs that surround the Rakshasa Sea are like countless petals, closing from the outermost layer to the center.
I roughly counted them, and there were nine huge islands and reefs surrounded by the inner layer, like a huge ghost claw, holding the central Rakshasa Sea.
Behind each of the large islands and reefs, there are about a row of small reefs, and there is only a safe sea area of less than 50 meters, which leads to the center.
I roughly estimated that this place was still about five nautical miles away from the island where Yang Jie's body was hidden, and I could already see through the fog miasma to the rock wall of the island and reef at the end.
But the yin qi in front of you is almost so thick that it is substantial!
It's hard for me to imagine what awaits me in that dark cavern......
Suddenly, the bow of the ship began to rock violently. Even if I held on to the rudder, I couldn't control it and crashed in the direction of the reef!
There is no choice but to jump ship! Otherwise, the aftermath of the explosion on the rock wall would be enough to half to death!
But the moment I jumped out, one leg was deformed by the engine overheating and got stuck on the accelerator pedal.
Seeing that he was about to hit the mountain wall, at this moment, Murong Changqing leaned down and touched his hand on the pedal that was stuck on my ankle.
The deformed steel plate was straightened, and I was dragged by Murong Changqing and jumped into the sea.
The moment the ship hit the rock wall with maximum horsepower, the driver's seat was directly flattened, and it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea with a violent explosion......
Murong Changqing and I floated on the water, struggling to paddle our arms, barely exposing our heads to the water.
After struggling twice, Murong Changqing's face suddenly turned pale, and his body seemed to be sucked by something underwater, and he fell straight to the bottom of the sea!
What came from under the water was billowing yin qi. Because my heart is immaculate, I can't get close to the ghosts, so I haven't been persecuted.
I hurriedly grabbed Murong Changqing's arm, and silently recited in my heart: Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, the root of all qi. Extensive cultivation of the catastrophe, prove my supernatural powers!
A golden light appeared, enveloping Murong Changqing and me.
Wrapped in golden light, Murong Changqing also swam out of the water, his pale pretty face regained some blood, and he barely spit out, "Thank you." ”
"On the boat, you saved my life, this time it's a bargain."
In this sea of hidden dangers, as long as you are dragged into the sea, you will never recover!
I took the detached Murong Changqing and struggled to swim in the opposite direction.
When I came here, I drove a yacht and walked ten nautical miles in only ten minutes, but now I want to swim back, but it is difficult to reach the sky.
The black-brown reefs on both sides remained the same, and their hands were desperately paddling the cold and dark waters, but the speed of movement did not increase.
I had the illusion that I was trapped in the dark sea and could not get out for the rest of my life......
Behind me, there was a hoarse, low sob, a sound that seemed to be far away, and sometimes suddenly ringed in my ears.
Murong Changqing subconsciously turned around, and I hurriedly burst into a shout, "Don't look back!" ”
At the same time, a cold palm quietly grasped the back of my neck, and I could even feel its nails, gently squeezing the back of my head.
I couldn't help but shiver down my spine and choked on a few mouthfuls of water as I shivered.
Murong Changqing didn't dare to look back, but his eyes quietly skimmed to the back of my head, and his voice trembled a little with horror, "You...... There's something behind you! ”
"It's just a hallucination."
I silently recited the Pure Heart Mantra in my heart, and replied indifferently: "If there is really an evil ghost, no matter how heinous his ability is, he will not dare to touch my body." ”
"Whatever happens, you don't pay attention, just follow me."
……
About half an hour passed, and I felt sore, and when I was about to lose my strength, a small boat suddenly rowed slowly in the distance.
There was a hunchbacked old man, who was propping up a huge iron rod on a fishing boat, and seemed to be fishing.
Murong Changqing looked at the old man for a long time and asked in disbelief, "This is also an illusion?" ”
"No, it's a living person!"
At the same time that I saw the old man, he also saw me.
Originally, when I thought I was going to be rescued, the old man turned the bow of the boat, rowed the oars and hurried away.
"Stop!"
The more I shouted, the faster the old man ran.
Murong Changqing's face turned red, his delicate body trembled as if he was accumulating strength, and he pulled towards the old man's position from a distance of about 100 meters.
No matter how the old man rowed, the boat moved slowly in our direction.
The old man's two thin arms, as if equipped with propellers, desperately tried to escape from the restraints, but finally stopped in front of me.
Murong Changqing took the lead in climbing onto the boat and dragged me up.
Swimming nearly ten kilometers, for the first time, my physical strength was close to the limit, and the whole person seemed to fall apart, slumped in the wooden boat, panting for breath.
Seeing us climb onto the boat, the old man knelt down with a pounce and said with tears in his eyes: "I beg the two great immortals to spare my life, I am just passing by to fish, and I definitely have no intention of offending!" ”
"When I go back, I will build an ancestral hall for the two immortals and offer incense ......"
I finally understood why the old man ran faster than rabbits when he saw us, and dared to think of us as water ghosts.
After taking a breath, I calmly replied, "Don't be afraid, I'm just an ordinary person who understands some feng shui mystics, and I don't mean anything to you." ”
The old man's face disappeared with fear, but his eyes widened like pigeon's eggs, and he asked in surprise, "Why did you swim from the direction of the Rakshasa Sea?" ”
"Our ship is ten nautical miles from here, and it capsized inexplicably."
"Old man, I have lived for more than 70 years, and it is the first time I have seen a living person swimming from the hinterland of the Rakshasa Sea, you two are really fateful!"
At this moment, the fishing rod at the bow of the boat suddenly shook violently twice, and the old man was overjoyed, and hurriedly went up and pulled the fishing rod.
"The two of you came over to help, a big fish has taken the bait!"
Now I had regained some strength, and I pulled the rod with him.
I was shocked to find that the rod was made of stainless steel, and it was not a line that was dragged underneath, but a wire twisted into a rope.
With this thing, you can catch fish?
Soon, the hooked thing was dragged onto the boat, but it was not a big fish, but a corpse that had been soaked extremely bloated.
Due to the cold sea temperature, the corpse showed no signs of decay, and the shroud and jewelry on the body were all brand new.
The old man grinned, took out a vice, skillfully twisted the thick gold necklace around the corpse's neck, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and threw it into the small iron bucket next to it.
There are already various styles of necklaces in the iron bucket, rings, gems, enough to see that the old man has gained a lot.
"Since we are all peers, then those who see it have a share."
The old man pointed to the corpse very generously and said, "You can also pick a thing you like and take it." ”
Seeing Murong Changqing's eagerness to try, I hurriedly grabbed the soft wattle that she had stretched out, and replied calmly, "We don't want it." ”
"The things of the living are not to be taken for, and the things of the dead are not to be robbed."
The old man's eyes lit up as he looked at the corpse's gold watch bracelet and the diamond on his thumb, "Tsk, it's a pity to lose such a good thing." ”
With that, the old man removed the steel rope that had locked the corpse and pushed it back into the water.
Judging from the old man's skillful methods and the corpse qi emanating from his body, it can be judged that this person must be a branch of the Maoshan lineage!
