A corpse? Yang Wenming and I were stunned and very surprised.

I asked Ah Hui what kind of corpse it was.

Ah Hui shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, this is the task assigned by the above, to find the body of the sect leader of the good sect." ”

Yang Wenming interjected next to him and said, "Is it the one who hung the violent corpse on the bamboo pole back then?" ”

"Yes." Ah Hui said: "We don't know exactly who he is. Mosquitoes have blocked the lake, no one has been in it for decades, and there is no idea what is inside or who it is. The only clue that can be known at present is that the person was still hanging on the bamboo pole after he died, and the corpse with that kind of dead appearance was the sect leader. ”

I wondered, "What are you looking for this corpse for?" ”

Ah Hui shook his head: "The meaning of the above is not very clear. But I think this corpse may have a special meaning, and we have to justify our foothold here, and finding that corpse may be able to win people's hearts. ”

He had a point, but I had a gut feeling that it wasn't that simple.

The deep, dark surface of the lake was thick with a thick yin air, and I asked them when they would leave.

Ah Hui said: "The ship is ready and will leave early tomorrow morning." Equipment and tools to deal with poisonous mosquitoes are also prepared. What was not possible decades ago can now be done with ease. ”

I nodded, muttered, and asked, "So what do you need me to do?" I don't see why I'm needed here. ”

Ah Hui said: "We also have a mage in the team, he said that the center of the lake has a perennial backlog of dead bodies, and there is a lot of resentment. Originally, I wanted to find Azanyuan, but he is gone, so I can only look for you. ”

"How do you know I'm high?" I laughed: "Pin all your hopes on me, I'm afraid I will disappoint you when the time comes." ”

Ah Hui looked at me, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Mr. Wang, what happened to you in the mountain village, even if we don't see it, we can guess it. Azanyuan is dead, and at your hand. ”

I chuckled in my heart, this matter was extremely secret, how did he know.

Ah Hui continued: "We have dealt with Ah Zanyuan, this person has a withdrawn personality and kills people like numbness, now is the most important moment for cultivation, it is impossible to leave the mountain village for no reason, even if he leaves, he will not leave his assistant alone. He glanced at Yang Wenming.

Yang Wenming didn't dare to look at me, lowered his head, and lit the fire with a branch.

Ah Hui said: "There is only one reason for his absence, and that is that he is dead. And you're alive, isn't all this telling? ”

I looked at Yang Wenming, a little angry, "Did you say that?" ”

Yang Wenming stumbled: "Mr. Wang, they forced me with guns, I have to say." Besides, I'm telling the truth, you are indeed a master of mana, far more powerful than Azan. ”

Ah Hui said: "Mr. Wang, don't blame Lao Yang, this matter is beneficial to you. ”

I waved my hand and told them I had to go to bed. Ah Hui arranged a separate tent for me, with a sleeping bag and a simple oil lamp, which was very well prepared.

At night, near the lake, the wind was still quite strong, and the tents were rattling. I couldn't sleep, I pulled the chain probe and went out to look, the lake water in the middle of the night was full of yin, and it was hazy in the distance, this place was really weird.

I wondered what they needed the corpse for, and I couldn't answer it until tomorrow morning.

I barely fell asleep in the second half of the night, and when I woke up again, there was a loud noise outside. I slept badly, had a splitting headache, sat down for a while, pulled back the chains and went out to look.

On the edge of the lake is a small diesel boat with a sampan on board, and soldiers are transporting supplies. Ah Hui saw that I was very enthusiastic and invited me to come on board.

The tents don't need to be cleaned up, the lakeshore has been uninhabited for more than 20 years, the vendettas of the past have long been wiped out, the mountain villages are almost in ruins, and no one has stolen anything at all.

I wondered more and more that this place had been uninhabited for a long time, so what was the point of bothering Bala to get out of that body.

We got on a diesel boat, which was simply refitted. Only part of the deck is exposed, and most of the place is nailed with wooden planks, and the inside is painted and covered with a thick cloth, so that it is not hot, but there are no dead corners, and those poisonous mosquitoes cannot fly in at all.

The boat was divided into two tiers, and the armed group was so poor that there was no diesel fuel, and most of the soldiers had to go to the cabins below to paddle. No wonder more than a dozen people were arranged to come together, all of them coolies.

Ah Hui and Song Gan, Yang Wenming and I were in the captain's room above, and the others were paddling below, and after packing up, the boat gradually sailed off the shore and headed for the center of the lake.

According to Ah Hui, at the current speed of travel, it will take at least a day to reach the corpse field in the center of the lake. These soldiers are not perpetual motion machines, and they also have to rest in shifts.

The boat is extremely slow and glides quietly on the surface of the lake where there are no waves.

The four of us went to the deck, and during the day we had a better view, and there was no living creature on the surface of the lake. The surface of the water is dark green, like stagnant water, and even when the sun shines down, there is no reflection at all, as if it absorbs all the light.

The boat makes a mark in the water on the surface of the lake. The sun is bleak and extremely cold, and this temperature is simply unimaginable in Laos, almost like a otherworldly existence.

None of us spoke, and looking at the lake, everyone fell into an emotion, even warriors like Ah Hui and Song Gan.

At this moment, a young man hurried in from the cabin below to report. Song Gan was extremely close to this little soldier, helping him to arrange his clothes and straighten his hat.

Yang Wenming listened to the conversation between them and whispered, "This young man is Song Gan's younger brother, serving as a second lieutenant, and he is the person in charge of the cabin below. ”

They were discussing the direction of sailing, and there were problems that needed to be solved.

There is no wind and waves on the lake, and the boat is moving at a turtle speed again, and there is almost no seasickness.

The time here is extremely boring, Song Gan and Ah Hui pulled us to gamble, Ah Hui looked like a bad gambler, carrying the dice with him, and playing with him.

My money is basically on Yang Wenming, and I am not interested in this, so I let them play by themselves, and I went back to the cabin to rest by myself.

There is no signal, no books, and there is a backwater lake outside. I could only meditate on my knees, looking inwardly at the realm of consciousness and recuperating my breath.

Returning to the realm of divine consciousness, I saw that the Three-Eyed Yaksha and Jun Xiaojiao were all practicing, and they were like sculptures and did not move. Jun Xiaojiao sat in the molten slurry, even if the flames burned him, he didn't move, as if he had entered a deep realm.

I didn't disturb them, I returned from my consciousness, slowly opened my eyes, and saw Song Gan and Ah Hui entering the room at some point, standing by the bed and not daring to disturb me.

Ah Hui said admiringly: "Mr. Wang, we have seen it just now, your breathing and breathing time is very long, almost up to ten minutes, how did you do it, is this the legendary Taoist kung fu in ancient China?" ”

I said slowly, "I have also practiced the spells of Southeast Asia. "I'm vague, and I don't have to say it as clearly as the rest of them.

Ah Hui said: "It's already night, and we can enter the heart tonight." Mr. Wang, don't leave the cabin from tonight, otherwise you will be exposed to the attack of poisonous mosquitoes. ”

He invited me to the captain's room for dinner, and the good food was all canned meat with English printed on it, and I don't know where these people came from.

While eating, I suddenly heard a thin and dense sound outside, "hiss, hiss" I really can't describe it, and then I heard a "whoosh" sound on the window, as if heavy rain was pouring up.

Everyone put down the food in their hands and stood up, walked to the window, and saw small black insects flying from afar, covering the entire glass in an instant, densely packed with a large area. These little insects are squeezed one by one, layer by layer, and the glass is almost invisible, and there can be tens of millions.

Ah Hui, as the person in charge of the whole ship, was very nervous, and what he said with the walkie-talkie should be to tell the people in the cabin below to pay attention to sealing measures.

After he finished speaking, Song Gan took the walkie-talkie again, and continued to explain in a calm voice. Yang Wenming's face was pale, and he was close to me.

I opened the door, and there was a confined space made of wooden planks outside, and I heard a fine and dense sound outside the wooden board, as if there were countless mouths chewing, and my heart trembled when I heard it, and my sweat pores were numb.

Ah Hui and Song Gan also walked out, and the faces of the two veteran soldiers who had been living and dying for a long time were not good-looking. I said, "If the poisonous mosquitoes are so rampant, it will be difficult for us to salvage them." ”

"No," Ah Hui said, "according to the old fishermen's descriptions here a long time ago, there is only a barrier for poisonous mosquitoes, and after a few nautical miles, you will reach the central area, where there are no poisonous mosquitoes." ”

The cabin was lit with light bulbs, and the dim light shone into the captain's quarters, and all the windows were densely covered with thousands of black poisonous mosquitoes, and there was no light, as if they were surrounded by deep darkness.
