Chapter 2 The Bleeding Lotus

"Grandpa, you really know how to make it up, people are people, how can you give birth to a dragon." Lu Hao didn't believe it.

"There are all kinds of strange things in the world, and it is possible to live a dragon." Lu Qifeng said with a smile.

Lu Hao pondered for a while and said in surprise: "Grandpa, you won't be the old Taoist priest who took away the baby!" ”

Lu Qifeng nodded and said, "Of course, if it weren't for grandpa's conscience to find out and save the baby, I'm afraid there would be a catastrophe." ”

Lu Hao was shocked: "Grandpa, you are so great, what about the baby?" ”

"Far away, close at hand!" Lu Qifeng squinted his eyes, serious.

Lu Hao was stunned, the baby who had the dragon's tail cut off couldn't be me!

"Grandpa, you're really joking, I'm your own grandson, not the dragon." Lu Hao decisively denied his speculation.

This kind of thing is too suspenseful, I can't believe it anyway.

Lu Qifeng touched his head and said solemnly: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided!" Your destiny is in your hands. ”

"Good grandson, grandpa is going to travel all over the world and do the right thing for heaven. In my absence, you have to protect yourself. ”

Lu Hao was stunned for a while, then sighed: "Grandpa, you want to go out and pretend to be a force, why don't you take me with you." ”

Lu Qifeng said righteously: "Grandpa didn't go out to pretend to be forced, but to eliminate demons and defend the way." ”

"This demon slaying guard, isn't it just pretending to be forced!" Lu Hao complained.

Lu Qifeng was embarrassed for a while, yes! Walking the rivers and lakes, slaying demons and eliminating demons, by the way, it is also pretending to be forced! It's a never-ending road of pretense.

"Grandpa, take me and pretend to fly with me!"

"Good grandson, when you grow up, grandpa will teach you the Tao, and when the time comes, you can pretend to be forced by yourself."

"Pretend to be a force yourself!" Lu Hao was pleasantly surprised, my road to pretending to be forced has just begun.

……

The next morning, fog fell.

Grandpa left the small mountain village alone and traveled all over the world.

Lu Hao squatted at the entrance of the village, feeling sad, grandpa is gone, who will tell me ghost stories, who will make me happy? The dragon that Grandpa said couldn't really be me!

Lu Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and returned home to sleep.

In the afternoon of the same day, when the sun was setting, Chen Ergou from the next village ran into the house in a panic and shouted Lu Hao's name in his mouth.

Lu Hao woke up suddenly, walked out of the house, and shouted angrily: "Second dog, you are sick!" What are you shouting, dead dad or dead mom? ”

Chen Ergou took a breath and said, "Brother Hao, I have something very important to look for you. ”

Lu Hao said angrily: "Your kid is a mourning star, and there is no good thing to be with you." Last time, you spied on the widow taking a bath, what does it have to do with me, how did I become your accomplice? ”

Chen Ergou grinned and said, "Brother Hao, I'm really sorry, I was stunned at that time, talking nonsense." ”

"You kid spewed blood and made me miserable." Lu Hao's face was angry, and the news of peeping about the widow's bath was spreading.

The unlucky Lu Hao was implicated, locked up by his parents, and did not go out for three days.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

"Brother Hao, something is wrong, the lotus is bleeding."

"Nonsense, how can the lotus bleed."

"If you don't believe me, come with me."

Lu Hao's face changed, and he followed him to the lotus pond.

The lotus pond is just west of the entrance of the village, five miles away from where Lu Hao lives. In the past, Lu Hao, Chen Ergou and others often came to the lotus pond to fish.

The lotus pond covers an area of five acres, with clear clear water, and is full of colorful lotus flowers, as well as carp, crucian carp, grass carp, etc.

Lu Hao and Chen Ergou came to the lotus pond and were stunned by the scene in front of them. In the middle of the lotus pond is a huge lotus flower, with colorless petals, fluttering in the wind.

The air is filled with fragrance that is refreshing.

Ordinary lotus flowers should be pink and white, but this lotus plant is colorful. This lotus flower was different, which made Lu Hao stunned.

What made Lu Hao even more unbelievable was that the lotus flower was actually bleeding. Crimson blood flowed down from the lotus flowers, staining the surrounding clear water.

Lotus bleeding, a great omen!

Lu Hao said in horror: "Ergouzi, what's going on?" ”

Chen Ergou said: "At noon today, I came to the lotus pond with the three fat men to fish, who knows, there is a lotus flower in it, or colorful. ”

The three fat men felt that there was something wrong with the lotus, so they took out a slingshot and shot the lotus. The lotus flower was injured, and blood flowed out. I was so frightened that I rushed to find you. ”

Lu Hao was surprised: "What about the three fat men with you?" ”

"I don't know! When I went to look for you, the three fat men were here. ”

"Oh no, fat people are in danger." Lu Hao searched for a while and found a fishing rod and the fat man's cloth shoes, "Second dog, hurry up and go to the fat man's house to see if he is at home." ”

Chen Ergou nodded and quickly looked for someone. After a while, Chen Ergou led the two middle-aged people back.

Chen Ergou shook his head and said, "Brother Hao, the third fat man is missing." ”

"Where's my son?" The middle-aged woman yelled at Lu Hao.

Lu Hao pointed to the lotus pond and said, "Your son should be in the water." ”

"What?" The middle-aged man was taken aback and hurriedly called the police.

When the police came, the distinctive lotus flowers in the lotus pond had disappeared. The police cordoned off the scene and sent divers to find the bodies of the three fat men.

Several divers found a large number of skeletons under the lotus pond, but they did not find the bodies of the three fat men. The three fat men are like evaporating from the world, without a trace.

There are a large number of skeletons under the lotus pond, which is an earth-shattering thing. The police organized divers and fished out the skeleton under the water.

Forensic identification of these skeletons was found to be human and animal.

The news of this incident was so loud that many reporters in the city hurried over to report on it.

The results of the police investigation showed that many years ago, people and animals drowned in the water, and the bodies were not recovered, and the flesh decomposed and turned into white bones.

In order to prevent someone from drowning in the lotus pond, the police brought in a bulldozer and filled the lotus pond. When the lotus pond was filled, all the fish and shrimp in it were fished out by the surrounding villagers.

The police fished out a stone tablet under the lotus pond. The stele is some years old, covered with moss, and there are faint hints of some ancient fonts.

This mysterious stele was taken away by the police, and the antiquities experts in the city carefully studied this stele and said that this stele had something to do with a certain general of the Han Dynasty.

This stele is actually a tombstone.

Antiquities experts suspect that under the lotus pond, there is an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty. Originally, the city's cultural relics department wanted to organize manpower to excavate the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately a sensational thing happened.

All the antiquities experts who studied the tombstones all bled to death overnight.

After this incident, the municipal cultural relics department was highly nervous and no longer dared to pay attention to the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty. After all, people are afraid of death.

That night, Lu Hao had a dream.

There is a lotus pond in the dream, and there are colorful lotus flowers. The lotus was bleeding, and the three fat men looked sluggish, and walked into the lotus pond, and their whole heads moved.

The three fat men lost their heads, and a large amount of blood gushed out, which was absorbed by the colorful lotus flowers. The lotus flower absorbed human blood and actually began to shrink, and finally turned into a palm-sized baby.

The baby burrowed into the water and was never seen again.

The headless corpse of the three fat men sank into the water without a trace.

"Lu Hao, I'm waiting for you at the Ghost Gate." The waves of water rolled, and the heads of three fat men appeared, bleeding from the seven orifices, which was very miserable.

Yes!

Lu Hao exclaimed and woke up from his dream.

Lu Hao gasped, looked left and right, and found that it was pitch black all around. Lu Hao put on his clothes, took a flashlight, and hurriedly left the house and went to the lotus pond.

The lotus pond has been filled in and peach trees have been planted on it. Pink peach blossoms, fluttering in the cold wind.

Lu Hao looked at Taoyuan stupidly, nervous, bleeding lotus, and the mysteriously missing three fat men, as well as the tombstone of the strange evil sect, these things seemed to have something to do with him.

Lu Hao pondered for a while, and suddenly realized that his grandfather said that everything in the world has a spirit, whether it is a mountain spirit or a ghost, or a bird or a beast, you can cultivate into a spirit.

The lotus flowers that once appeared must have been cultivated.

The three fat men used a slingshot to hurt the lotus flower and lost their lives. The bones that appear under the lotus pond are the nutrients of the lotus flowers.

People and animals died at the bottom of the water, and their flesh and blood were devoured by lotus flowers, helping them to cultivate.

The lotus flower cultivated to the essence and killed many people. In order to cover up the truth of the matter, the lotus flower turned into a palm-sized baby and fled.

Of course, this is just Lu Hao's speculation, and no one knows what the truth is.

Regarding the matter of the tombstone, Lu Hao did not dare to have any guesses, because it would be dead.
