The sky outside the cabin was gray, but it was not very dark, and there was no fog, and the cold black wind was still blowing, but it was much weaker than when it was in the Shark Lake, and it was thought that it was because of the surrounding dense forest.

After eating hot food, my body quickly warmed up, and my hands and feet also gained strength, so I got off the boat with Lin Qiaoer.

On the shore not far from the boat, the Taoist priest and others were sitting around a bonfire, and there was a big black pot on the bonfire rack, steaming out of the steam, thinking that it was the compressed biscuit paste I had just drunk.

Since we were only five or six meters apart, as soon as we got off the boat, many people saw it, and the Taoist priest and the people on our side raised their hands to greet me, and Luo Yi's face also showed a smile, except for the three guys who had a conflict with us who looked like they had eaten flies.

When I looked at them, the corners of their mouths twitched unnaturally, and then they turned their heads and pretended to talk, avoiding my gaze. In this way, I am even more sure that it is the hands and feet of these three birds that move on the rope.

Although I was angry, this was not the time to have an attack, so I could only endure it for the time being, and sit down next to the doctor to roast the fire.

Not all of them had bowls for food, and there was only one bowl on the ship, which was given to me, the wounded, and the others had to use a thick leaf similar to a banana leaf that grew near the forest as a bowl and ate it with a biscuit batter, like a group of primitive people in the jungle.

Maybe it's because of the fact that Luo Yi, a group of people from the Heavenly Witch Sect, joined in, the atmosphere at this time was not active, no one spoke, and everyone bowed their heads to eat. I was going to tell the doctor that the three guys were plotting against me, but when I saw the atmosphere, I swallowed the words that came to my lips.

The Taoist priest ate very quickly, and when I was hesitating to think of a way to tell them, he had already patted his stomach and stood up, and said to me with a satisfied face: "Immeasurable Tianzun, this tastes really good, go, reporter, it is convenient and convenient to accompany the Taoist master, and by the way, eliminate food!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, but then I saw the Taoist priest glaring at me, I immediately understood, and was about to stand up, but the doctor grabbed my shoulders and stood up too: "Let's go together, my stomach is also a little uncomfortable!" ”

As he spoke, the doctor walked ahead of me and followed the Taoist priest into the reeds by the river.

Luo Yi looked at us, frowned, and reminded: "Be careful, there may be mermaids in the river, don't go near the river!" ”

I answered, and I couldn't ignore the puzzled eyes of the others, and hurriedly followed.

The Taoist priest walked far away until the reeds completely covered us, and then he stopped.

I breathed a sigh of relief, although the place chosen by the Taoist priest was close to the river, it was still some distance from the river, and even if a merman really rushed out of the water to attack, we would have plenty of time to react.

The Taoist priest opened the reeds and looked behind him, and after making sure that no one was following, he suddenly said to me, "Okay, if you have anything to say, you can say it now!" ”

I was a little confused by his words, and asked, "Didn't you call me out?" Why did you ask me instead? ”

The Taoist priest's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "I'll rub, didn't you have a mouthful of expression just now, is it constipation?" ”

My face suddenly darkened, and I glared at the Taoist priest: "You are constipated, your whole family is constipated!" As soon as the words came out, I immediately felt wrong, the Taoist priest has no father or mother, just a master, not even a relative, isn't this used to scold him for being blind?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a burst of bad luck, and hummed: "Lao Tzu is too lazy to talk nonsense with you, I do have something to discuss with you, don't you think it's a little inappropriate to let those guys follow us?" As I spoke, I bowed my mouth in the direction of the campfire.

The doctor looked at me, raised an eyebrow and asked what do you mean by that? So I told them what Lin Qiaoer had just told me.

I thought that the two of them would be very surprised when they heard this, especially the Taoist priest, with his urine nature, knowing that he had been assassinated, he would definitely be angry and go to the three guys to settle accounts, but the actual reaction of the two surprised me, they seemed to have known about it a long time ago, and there was no reaction at all after hearing it.

The Taoist priest raised his eyelids, looked at me, and asked, "That's what you're talking about?" ”

I nodded suspiciously, and said, "That's it, what?" Look at you guys, it seems like you already know? Sister Qiao'er obviously said that she didn't tell you? ”

The doctor held his glasses and smiled faintly, but did not speak, while the Taoist priest snorted with disdain: "Hmph, as far as their indiscriminate tricks, the Taoist master has seen through it early in the morning, and dealing with cult-cult people, you have to have twelve hearts and eyes, and you hope that their conscience will wake up, otherwise, you won't even know how you died." ”

I still don't understand how the Taoist priest saw through the three hairy methods, the doctor explained that when the rope was broken, he had already noticed that something was wrong, and the Taoist priest was on the edge of the broken at that time, and he could see the cut in the rope at a glance. Originally, with his reaction speed, he could completely grasp the upper end of the rope, but at that time I was below, if I let me fall alone, it is estimated that I would really stop eating, so the Taoist priest would fall into the lake with me, and he naturally knew what was going on in this.

After listening to the doctor's explanation, I couldn't understand even more, since those guys were so insidious, why did we still walk with them, and leaving them on the ship was not equivalent to planting a time bomb around us?

The doctor saw through my thoughts, smiled and patted me on the shoulder, saying that this is also something that cannot be helped, first, those people have already been to the Lock Demon Lake, and are familiar with the situation along the way and in the Lock Demon Lake, and they can help us avoid many dangers with their guidance; Second, it is difficult to go back to this place without ships, if you drive them away directly, these unscrupulous guys are likely to jump off the wall in a hurry, although we have a lot of people, but if there is a conflict, even if we can suppress them, we will inevitably have casualties, which will have a great impact on the future plan and itinerary.

Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, I can only take them with me for now, as long as I am more vigilant, I am not afraid of them.

I thought about it, this is indeed the case, so I didn't say much, besides, Luo Yi is also from the Heavenly Witch Sect, so it is impossible to drive her away, right?

After the matter is over, there is no point in staying here any longer, the doctor and I turned around and were about to go back, but the Taoist priest's face changed, and he wailed: "Ouch, the immeasurable grandfather, the Taoist master's stomach is starting to make trouble again, you go first!" ”

As he spoke, the guy didn't hesitate to tear off the belt of his trousers and squatted down. The doctor and I were suddenly full of black lines, and without saying a word, we turned around and left, and almost at the same time, a series of discordant sounds came from behind us.

Seeing me and the doctor come back with black faces, a few girls wanted to talk and stopped, but Luo Yi had no scruples, blinking a pair of big watery eyes and asking me where the little Taoist priest went? I replied angrily: I dropped the Xiang he pulled himself!

Hearing this, everyone except the doctor was surprised.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and it was still very early before dawn, so we couldn't just sit until dawn, so we began to take turns resting.

Due to the curse, I was not assigned to be on duty for the night, and the cabin could not accommodate so many people, so the doctor divided everyone into two parts, the four girls rested in the cabin with me and Yang Lao Dao, and the rest of the people were on the shore, taking turns to be on duty for the night.

The reason for this arrangement is naturally to beware of the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect, Yang Lao Dao and Wang Dao are highly cultivated and strong, and only they can suppress these cult guys. Moreover, under the treatment of the muscle-building Gu and the life-prolonging needle, the two Dao Masters had recovered from their injuries, and they separated the two of them in order to prevent those guys.

The miserable wind was blowing, the sky was still gray, and from time to time there was a faint sound of breathing, which was the girls who had fallen asleep.

Maybe I had slept enough when I was unconscious during the day, and even though it was late at night, I didn't feel sleepy at all. Yang Laodao sat cross-legged beside me, motionless, and I didn't know if I was asleep or not.

I sighed, looked at the dark roof of the cabin, and thought back to the experience of this time like a movie. From the moment we made up our minds to go to Toasttai, we woke up inexplicably to the deep mountains more than 100 kilometers away, and then heard the legend of the shark immortal from Lao Gui's mouth......

Although I recalled all the things I had experienced, in fact my mind was still a mess, until I returned to the darkness in front of me, and the only thing left in my mind was a figure that lingered, and this figure was the fairy who appeared the night before.

By now, I have known that the lingering figure is the legendary mermaid, the same mermaid, I have no ill feelings towards the mermaid, even if I know that the mermaid's voice is very dangerous, it does not affect my sense of the image of the mermaid.

Moreover, judging from Luo Yi's description, the mermaids are not as ferocious and violent as the male mermaids, on the contrary, they are peerless, innocent, and pitiful, whether I have seen it with my own eyes or recorded in ancient books, the mermaid has never taken the initiative to harm humans, but it is a human being who is interested in interests, and almost kills the mermaid.

Peeling skin and boiling oil, making lamps and candles, such a tragic thing, just sounds outrageous, let alone they have suffered all this silently for thousands of years? I can't imagine what kind of vicious heart it is to bear to skin and disembowel such beautiful fairies, after all, they look almost exactly like us!

I pillowed my head, and the figure, the face, and the blood-spurting image kept coming to mind......

Over and over again, lingering, thinking about it, I don't know when, I fell asleep like this, but even if I fell asleep, I still repeated the scene of hugging the mermaid over and over again in my dream, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a spring dream. Until a very real and pleasant voice came to my ears, so soft that I almost got drunk in that dream.

At first, I thought it was a voice in a dream, until the voice that was so crisp to the bones turned into a gentle hum, a thousand times, the mermaid embracing each other in the dream disappeared, and all the scenes dissipated one by one like broken mirrors.

Just as I was at a loss in my dream, a trace of mist surged out of the boundless darkness, thicker and thicker, and finally enveloped all of the surroundings, even the darkness was rendered milky white, and a sense of familiarity deeply rooted in memory was wrapped in the flowing damp breath.

Bang la, bla blah......

The sound of the water lapping was like a thousand steel needles piercing my ears, and the undulating sensation under my feet evoked the greatest fear in my heart, that dream, that dream, and I entered that terrible nightmare again.

In an instant, my body was like falling into an ice cave, and in a panic, I subconsciously wanted to escape, rushing to the edge of the bamboo raft, only to remember that I was in that nightmare, in the demon lake, on the bamboo raft, where did I escape?

I sat down on the raft, ignoring the fact that the lake soaked my pants. It took me a long time to wake up from my fear, this nightmare had been with me for more than ten years, but I hadn't had this dream for a while lately, how could I suddenly get into it again?

The last two times I have entered this terrible dream, one is when I go back to my hometown and perform the mysterious witch boy prayer ritual of my childhood, and I have not been able to overcome my confusion and fall into a nightmare; Another time was in the ancient town of Suoming, when I strayed into Tulou Square, which happened to be located on the legendary Feng Shui Cave, the Eye of Yin and Yang, which pulled me into a nightmare.

Each of these two experiences was dangerous, and to be precise, it was very difficult to survive this nightmare, which is why I was so afraid of this nightmare.

You must know that the time I fell into a dream in my hometown, it was my grandmother who personally entered Yeling and found a special rhizome to boil medicine, which brought me back to reality, and the ancient town of Suoming was more bizarre, Yan Wudao cultivated to the sky, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an immortal, but he can actually probe his hand into the nightmare out of thin air and pull me back to reality.

These two dreams have adventures, otherwise I might have hung up a long time ago, and even if I didn't die, I wouldn't have been able to break free from the nightmare. How is it good to be caught up in this damn dream again?

Just as I was in a panic and at a loss, thumb-sized whirlpools suddenly began to appear on the calm surface of the lake, and as far as the eye could see, they were densely packed everywhere, and people felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

I was choked by the sudden influx, and just when I thought something terrible might rush out of the water, the whirlpools swirled on their own, and the surface of the water did not react in the slightest.

This couldn't help but make me a little suspicious, but it didn't take long for my face to change, and I saw that those thumb-sized whirlpools were expanding little by little, swallowing each other, and in a moment's effort, they had changed from the original thumb size to the thickness of a chimney, and there was a tendency to continue to expand.

I was really scared enough, as the whirlpool continued to expand, the raft was finally disturbed, and began to spin rapidly, I had to lie down and hold on to the raft, so that it was not thrown out, but this only lasted a few more minutes.

Eventually, the whirlpools of the entire lake merged into a few few, and the huge pulling force swept the raft to pieces, and I was like duckweed, swallowed by the whirlpool in the blink of an eye.
