Chapter 383: Three Evils in the Water
"Enter, but we can't just rush in, these ghost vines and blood sea worms are not ordinary things, before we think of a proper way, we have to wait and see what happens, and the typhoon has not really arrived yet." I secretly glanced at the expressions of everyone present, and found that they all had solemn faces, and I was the only one with a faint hint of excitement.
"That's not right," Feng Long is really a thoughtful person, my words and deeds did not escape his eyes, I saw him looking at me curiously, and then looked at the blood-colored ocean behind him, and asked me with a strange and puzzled face: "What are you excited about, I always feel that something is wrong with you, do you have something to hide from us?" ”
"Hey, hey, whatever." As soon as I saw Feng Long's words, everyone's eyes were cast at me, and I immediately put away that trace of excitement and pretended to be calm and said: "I'm just a little worried about the current situation, to be honest, if these blood sea worms have been hovering in the waters of Longjiaotan, even if the typhoon really arrives tomorrow, then it will be almost impossible for us to rush in." ”
I hurriedly diverted the topic, for fear that they would see something wrong with me, to be honest, when I first saw this bloody ocean full of rivers, I knew that this time I chose to help Lao Jiang was the right help.
Maybe this trip we may be able to uncover a secret that has been buried for eternity, but while I am not sure of the doubts in my heart, I don't dare to rashly tell them what I think I think, after all, this involves things and people that have always been controversial in the field of history, so I can only suppress my curiosity at present.
Feng Long saw that I quickly put away the faint excitement, and he looked at me with a strange expression, but he didn't ask much when he saw that I deliberately staggered his eyes.
He just pondered for a while and then said to us: "I suggest staying for the vigil tonight, after all, the typhoon will make landfall tonight, and we are so close to these ghost vines and blood sea worms, I am always a little uneasy, it would be more comfortable to keep a vigil." ”
"I'll keep a vigil tonight." As soon as Feng Long's words fell, a person stood up, and I looked up and found that this person was actually Wen Yuan, who had been silent.
"No, I'll be the one to guard tonight." I glanced at Wen Yuan and shook his head at him and said, "This ghost vine and blood sea worm are extraordinary, if they glance at us tonight, then we may all die." Halfway through the conversation, I saw that Wen Yuan seemed to want to say something.
I know that Wen Yuan is a very strong person, he and Zimeng are all the way, these two people are not people who can live honestly and peacefully, he is only responsible for driving the boat during this time, and now seeing this strange scene, he naturally wants to show it.
But I don't have a chance for him, after all, there are water corpses under the ghost vines, and this thing is a zombie to put it bluntly, so no matter how good Wen Yuan's martial arts are, he can't deal with these things.
So I can only work hard, first hold on to tonight, besides, I already have a faint idea in my heart, I estimate that these ghost vines and blood sea worms will not appear in the Dragon Horn Stalls for a long time, and their appearance may not be accidental.
"Come on, if you don't worry, then I'll keep vigil with Wen Yuan tonight, you still have to work tomorrow, if you don't have a good rest, how can you take our dragon..."
"Okay, don't fight, you all go to sleep tonight, the ghost vines won't come, don't worry." Just when Zimeng wanted to refute me, suddenly Win Lao on the side interrupted him.
I saw Win Lao smoking a dry cigarette, and then said to us slowly in his old tone: "Although the ghost vine is a monster, it does not have spiritual intelligence, and this kind of thing will not selectively attack people."
Nor will it attack people in a targeted manner, the ghost vines are already soulless after they break away from the ancient trees that enter the water, and these ghost vines will only follow the flow of the water, so even if these things occasionally appear in the river, they will be washed away by the water all the way to the sea.
And we are now on the opposite side of the Dragon Horn Stall, separated from the Dragon Horn Stall, a whole three rivers, even if those ghost vines can break away from the waters of the Dragon Horn Stall, do you think they can float to us against the current? ”
"No, old man." Tianyou seemed to hear something wrong with Win Lao's words, and after listening to it, he paused and pondered for a while before asking Win Lao: "If you say so, then so many ghost vines are unfortunately able to break out of the waters of the Dragon Horn Stall, and a load of them will float into the sea with the current.
Then it is possible that they will be swept to a certain area by the current, or to the place where the crowd lives, if this is the case, then so many ghost vines will drift down the river with the three rivers, and the consequences are not ordinary. ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly changed greatly, and they were reminded by Tianyouyi that now everyone is not worried about their own safety, but worried about whether these ghost vines will be washed downstream with the water of the three rivers to harm people.
"No, don't worry." I saw that everyone's faces were not very good, so I smiled and said, "The ghost vine actually has a name, called the ghost dragger." ”
"Ghost dragger? What is Ghost Drag? "Lao Jiang's apprentice Sanwa is a few years younger than me, and he always likes to pester me when he is fine, asking me to teach him some money arguments or some things about tomb robbing.
Maybe he did this because he was curious about these things, or maybe Lao Jiang instructed him to do this, but I didn't care about this, it wasn't so easy for this kid to steal from me, and now as soon as my voice fell, Sanwa couldn't help but ask me excitedly.
I smiled and said, "There are three kinds of terrifying and weird humanoid things in the river, one is the impermanence in the water, and this kind of thing has many different names in many places, some are called water monkeys, some are called water dogs, and some are called water boys, but most of them call it water monkeys."
This water monkey is also the same as a human, with a human body, but they are the head and limbs of a monkey, and legend has it that the water monkey is not a water ghost, but an unknown creature.
As far as I know, this kind of thing came out of the country after the Han Dynasty, and I don't know how it came out of the country, and I suspect that this thing is a hybrid between humans and animals.
I once read some records about water monkeys in some unique books, and they mentioned that water monkeys are hybrids between humans and animals, so I believe that water monkeys are not water ghosts, but unknown creatures.
The second is to dump the corpse in the water, the corpse in the water is more weird, this kind of thing is very rare in other places, but in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River basin is particularly numerous, saying that the corpse is the most widespread legend in the Sanmenxia section of the Yellow River.
To put it bluntly, it is a dead person, but it is not so easy to form a dead body, and the person who dies with extreme resentment before the body is killed, and after death, he is stuck in his throat and can't swallow it and drowns in the water.
And this breath is also called resentment in Taoism, this resentment is hoarded in the body of the corpse and cannot be spit out, and over time the corpse will undergo corpse transformation, this kind of resentment of the person dies on the shore, and it is often called a zombie after it raises the corpse.
But if it dies in the river, it will form a corpse, why is it called a corpse, because after death, this kind of thing will keep walking back and forth on the bottom of the river bed in the section of the river where it died.
Therefore, people are the spirits of all things, and after the death of a person, this spirit disappears, and those corpses that have become zombies have no human consciousness, and zombies will only look for smells, so the corpse will always hover in the area where it died when it sinks to the bottom of the river after death.
It is because the place where it once died has a trace of its breath, so it will keep walking on the bottom of the river, this kind of corpse is very weird, sometimes it will walk against the current, sometimes it will walk under the water, sometimes it will walk along the current.
A load of fallen corpses encounters people who fall into the river or go against the river, then they will be pulled into the bottom of the river and drowned directly, this kind of thing is what people often call water ghosts, also called dumped corpses, because the corpses can walk under the riverbed against the current, so the name of the corpses comes from this.
Finally, the third is the ghost vine in the water.,I don't have to say much about what the ghost vine is.,I've already told us before.,What I'm going to say is why the ghost vine is called the ghost drag.。
Because the ghost vines generally do not appear on the surface of the water, this kind of thing will only surface unless the world changes greatly or the feng shui is abnormal, and what Tianyou said before, whether the ghost vine will be washed by the water to a certain shore, this statement does not exist.
Oni vines are extremely yin things, although they are not conscious, they like yin, so even if they are washed downstream by the water, they will be firmly attached to the bottom of the riverbed in the center of the river, and then be washed up to the sea with the current.
Because each river is not necessarily the deepest in the center of the river, but the heaviest place in each river must be the center of the river, so if the ghost vines are out of the water of the dragon horn stall, we don't have to worry about those, they will always be attached to the bottom of the river bed and then washed into the sea.
When this ghost vine is constantly being rushed by the current, it will form a strange scene, that is, the corpses on the ghost vine will be dragged one by one on the bottom of the river with the current to the sea, which is also the saying that people turn the ghost vine into a ghost dragger, after all, a string of corpses are dragged under the river and no one will feel that this is normal.
So Tianyou's worries are superfluous, I also thought too much about it before, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, and I have benefited a lot from winning the old man's words, we only took into account the weird things, but forgot the physical principles that should be. ”
After speaking, I nodded respectfully to the old win on the side, and when the old win saw my teachable expression, he also showed a rare smile, only to see the old man smile and look at me and say: "It's rare, you kid can have this insight at a young age, and it seems that the family background is extraordinary." ”
"Win Lao said that I laughed, I am self-taught, how can I have any family background." Seeing this, I smiled slightly and avoided the topic, and Elder Ying was stunned at first when he saw me say this, but soon he put away his puzzled expression, and returned to his indifferent face that had gone through all the vicissitudes of life.
"Damn, these things are so scary, but luckily we've only encountered one." After hearing this, Zimeng also looked at me secretly in horror and said, "Then what if these things are still there tomorrow, should we press the corpse into the dragon horn stall?" ”
"I'm going to go in too." I glanced around at everyone and said with a firm gaze: "There are three evils in the water, one is impermanence, two is a water ghost, and three is a blood worm, these three things, impermanence in the water is the most terrifying, the corpse in the water is the most weird, and the ghost vine in the water is the most mysterious."
To be honest, I'm glad that we're in the water, and if we encounter the first two things that will actively attack people, then we really won't be able to get through this trip. ”
"Alright, in that case, we'll prepare." Lao Jiang didn't interject a word this time, I found that he had some respect for me at this time, I don't know if it was the reason for what I said just now, but I didn't think much about it, because the waters of Longjiaotan changed again when we chatted.
