Chapter 349: Abandoned Tower
Listening to the two bubbles bubbling up in the water, I said to myself: It's not good, this person can't be water, just sink down.
I hurriedly used my flashlight to shine it, only to see a hat floating on the water, and a bundle of straw wrapped in a gray cloth, and the oars had sunk to the bottom of the water.
I just reacted, in the middle of the night, three watches, just a few broken boats, nothing worth looking at, even if someone untied the boat, at most it was just a few laps on the surface of this lake, can you still run away with the boat on your back? The man I saw just now was just a scarecrow next to the boat, fooling people.
I sighed helplessly, I used to study the boats, except for the scarecrow next to the boat that has been paddling, the others are all foot, and these pedal boats are chained to the railing on the shore, no key can not be opened, the scarecrow next to the oars is tied with a rope, can be untied, but when I photographed the scarecrow just now, I accidentally dropped the oar into the water.
I reluctantly shone a flashlight into the water, but I couldn't see anything, I didn't know how deep the water was, and I couldn't see the shadow of the oar anyway. It seems that people really need to learn more skills, and if I can swim now, wouldn't I have to work hard?
Seeing that I had been circling around these boats, Nan Yu was a little anxious, came to urge me, I told her that the boat could not be used, Nan Yu was also very surprised, she thought of a lot of twists and turns, but she didn't expect that the person she found would be a person who couldn't water, and had not yet arrived at the battlefield, so she was trapped on the shore.
But it's already here, how can you just go back, the two of us are unwilling to study those boats one by one, to see if there is any forgetting the lock, but after looking back and forth twice, I really found out that the lock on one of the boats is actually broken, just pretending to be there, the virtual buckle there, a little force of the hand, it was pulled open.
Look at the time, it's already more than half past twelve, and we have been delayed for so long for the sake of a ship, so we should have left sooner if we had known that this was the case.
After getting on the boat, it didn't go very well, and I didn't play with this boat, although it looked simple, I still turned around the water several times before slowly letting the boat start to go in a straight line, and when I got to the island, it should have been a little more than a little bit.
As soon as I stepped on the land of that island, I shivered when I saw Nanyu, every time I moved forward, it was very difficult, I blessed her with a spell, but my spell energy is limited, and the pagoda has a great deterrent to ghosts, so Nanyu's situation is still not optimistic, but her expression is very resolute, and she has no intention of evacuating.
I said to her, "You should hide in your urn first, I will put the urn on me, with my yang energy cover, the stupa should not be able to hurt you, and when you meet your friends, it is not too late for you to come out and persuade them." ”
Nanyu should indeed be very uncomfortable, so he nodded and hid in the urn.
The area of the island is not large, I first searched around the outside of the tower, found nothing, and then slowly approached the tower, around the tower, around a circle of railings, as if to prohibit tourists from too close to the tower, but at night, I don't care about these, just from the railing into it. Slowly approaching the tower gate, I gently pushed it with my hand, and found that the tower door was actually hidden, and with a little force, the tower door squeaked and was pushed open by me.
Although the lights on the top of the tower are on, but the inside of the tower is pitch black, I used a flashlight to sweep around the inside, and found that the tower has actually been abandoned, it is empty, there is not even a Buddha statue, and the cobwebs in the corner are full of dust. Since the Buddha is no longer there, why is the Buddha power of the stupa still there, and can still make the ghosts feel so much pressure?
I stepped over the threshold, walked in, stepped on the thick dust on the ground, step by step inside, looking at the thickness of the dust, I felt that this tower seemed to have been abandoned for many years, but when I looked outside, I felt that this tower was not built for a long time, this is absolutely impossible to be an ancient tower, and in the park, there can be no ancient tower, it should be a scene of the park, imitating a tower, maybe this is not a pagoda at all.
I basically don't know much about these buildings, except for the City God Temple behind our town, I have never been to any palaces and temples and places of interest, but I vaguely remember that the tower is a Buddhist thing, so when I saw this tower, I thought it was a pagoda, and Nanyu estimated that it was the same as me. Now it seems that this pagoda may have nothing to do with the Buddha at all.
So what is the purpose of this tower other than serving as a view of the park? This is definitely not just a simple building for people to see, this tower has a powerful aura, and has a strong deterrent to ghosts, this is not an empty tower, this tower has an owner.
Although it was empty inside, there was nothing but dust, but from the aura of this tower, I could feel that this tower must have a master, and there was something to cultivate in this tower, but I didn't have enough experience to judge what exactly was cultivating in this tower.
Nan Yu told me before that Dr. Shen would divert the main guards here, but the current situation is not optimistic, either Dr. Shen failed and did not succeed in luring the things in the tower away, or Dr. Shen got the wrong object and didn't know which one was the main owner in the tower. I could feel that the person who was cultivating with this tower, or that thing, was still here, and he was staring at me from some corner.
As for the souls of those four people, eighty percent of them are not in this tower, because in this tower, I can't feel the yin energy of ghosts.
I said to Nanyu in the bottle: "We may have come to the wrong place, this may be a trap, let's evacuate quickly." ”
Nan Yu said a little incredulously: "Impossible, I still came to this lake last night, and I still heard them crying in this tower, so many days, night and night, how can they not be here?" ”
I said, "But didn't you hear the wailing at the lake today?" Moreover, now that we have all entered the tower, we have not noticed the slightest sign of their possible presence, and it is likely that they have been evacuated during the day today. ”
Nanyu didn't want to give up, and said: "Although there is this possibility, but we finally came here, and we left so easily, wouldn't it be a trip in vain, if I don't find this place carefully, I will definitely not be reconciled." I know there is danger here, but I won't let you help in vain, to tell you the truth, the news I know is related to Luo Ming's life and death, you are with Luo Ming, if Luo Ming can't avoid that catastrophe, then it is not impossible for the three of you to die together. ”
Nanyu said this, I was a little unhappy, I helped her, originally just sympathized with her, I didn't plan to do anything for her, she wanted to give me the news, and she also took the initiative to say it, and now she actually started to use this message to blackmail me again, and whether that message is really that important, whether she is now in order to let me stay, and deliberately exaggerate the role of that message, it is not clear.
I originally wanted to say a few unkind words, but after thinking about it, what was the use of worrying so much with a poor ghost, so I said: "Then you try to call your companions, see if they are nearby, although this tower is not big, but it is very easy for people with Taoism to hide ghosts, and it is too difficult to search this tower thoroughly." Can you get them to respond? ”
Nan Yu answered, and the bottle began to whine, like a cry, like the sound of the wind, and sometimes it felt like the sound of running water.
The whining of the southern rain echoed inside the empty pagoda, and there was no response, so I walked back and forth in the pagoda with a bottle in order to search thoroughly.
Just as I was approaching the wall of the tower, suddenly, a piece of wall skin peeled off from the wall, and the piece of wall skin that had peeled off suddenly shattered into dust before it could reach the ground, and it came to my face.
