Chapter 44: The Black Pig Crosses the River
The blind man saw me staring at the TV in a daze, and stretched out his hand to push me, and I came back to my senses and said to him, "I remembered some things from the past. ”
Sun Yuchen lay in the arms of the blind man and asked with a puzzled expression: "Brother Jia, is this black cloud appearing over Mirror Lake a natural phenomenon?" ”
The blind man nodded and explained, "The appearance of thick black clouds in the sky, commonly known as 'black pig crossing the river', is a special natural phenomenon that usually heralds the coming of a storm. But from a superstitious point of view, where the 'black pig crosses the river' appears, there must be a terrible evil spirit. ”
Thinking of the past three years ago, the ominous premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger, and I couldn't waste any more time, I got up from the bed, put the yellow cloth bag on my shoulder, put the Tiangang sword behind my back, and said to the blind man with a serious expression: "I'm afraid that something big will happen in Jinghu, don't go anywhere if you stay in the hospital early in the morning, I'll settle it alone!" ”
Before the blind man could speak, I pushed open the door of the ward and rushed out, and now that the mobile phone was broken, I couldn't contact Huang Jianjun, so I could only hope that he was also in Jinghu.
I trotted all the way to the observation deck where we took the boat last night, and saw Huang Jianjun standing by the fence and smoking a cigarette, staring at the lake with a blue face.
"I've called you dozens of times since the morning, why don't you answer them?" Huang Jianjun said a little unhappily when he saw me coming.
"The phone is broken in water." I spread my hands and said helplessly.
Huang Jianjun snorted coldly, pointed to the black water and said to me: "I came to take a look early this morning and found that the surface of Jinghu Lake had been dyed black by the yin qi. Xiao Fu, tell me the truth, did you use the corpse charm and coffin nails to strengthen the seal of that coffin? ”
I told Huang Jianjun carefully what happened after I got into the water last night, and Huang Jianjun shook his head like a rattle when he heard it, and whispered in his mouth: "It shouldn't be, how can you not be calm?" ”
I asked Huang Jianjun, "Master, what's wrong?" Look at what scares you. ”
"There's only one last way left, and if we can't stop him, then we're really doomed." Huang Jianjun said in response to the question.
I had no choice but to follow his words and ask, "So what should we do?" ”
"Eight Demon Suppression Arrays, only with this trick can he be completely suppressed." After that, Huang Jianjun put the cloth bag on the ground and took out four pieces of rune paper, a brush, and a box of cinnabar from it.
I saw that Huang Jianjun's move was to set up a formation, so I hurriedly asked him: "Master, do you need help?" ”
Huang Jianjun waved his hand and said with a solemn face: "No need, just watch from the side." ”
I exited the observation deck and came to the path outside, only to see Huang Jianjun lifting the brush dipped in cinnabar, and very skillfully drew a gossip map on the ground, and then he placed the four rune papers in the four directions of southeast, south, northwest, and softly chanted the incantation in his mouth, and the rune paper instantly burned and emitted a faint blue flame.
"Eight Demon Suppression Arrays!"
Huang Jianjun shouted, pointed his finger at the drawn gossip, and in an instant, countless dazzling red lights bloomed on the gossip map, and the four rune papers placed in the gossip map suddenly rose from the ground to mid-air, spinning at high speed and flying towards the island in the middle of the lake.
However, he saw that the four rune papers gradually turned into a huge gossip pattern in the air, still maintaining an extremely fast rotation speed and gradually descending to the water.
I only heard a loud "boom", and the gossip array formed by the rune paper formed a red circular enchantment on the surface of the Mirror Lake.
In amazement, I asked Huang Jianjun: "Can this suppress the monster in the coffin at the bottom of the lake?" ”
Huang Jianjun nodded silently, his face full of uneasiness and anxiety.
The barrier on the surface of the lake kept spinning, and I thought that as long as the barrier kept working, the monster in the coffin at the bottom of the lake would not be able to stir up any wind and waves.
The ideal is very beautiful, but the reality slapped me hard. Just when I thought that everything would be fine as long as the barrier took effect, a dull thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, and the wind on the lake became stronger and stronger, and after a while, a huge water dragon was born on the water near the island in the middle of the lake.
"It's a waterspout!" Huang Jianjun was shocked.
The silver-white water dragon is like a huge vacuum cleaner that rolls the water of Jinghu Lake into the air, forming a water column up to dozens of meters high, which looks magnificent from a distance.
I was worried that Huang Jianjun would be blown away by the strong wind, so I hurriedly took his hand and said, "The tornado will blow here at any time, so let's go to a safe place to hide." ”
"This tornado is coming very strangely, I guess it's coming for the Eight Demon Suppression Array!"
When I heard Huang Jianjun's words, I couldn't help but think in my heart: "The appearance of the waterspout is to destroy the eight formations of suppressing the monsters? Could it be that this tornado has become a fine man? ”
The rows of willow trees by the lake were broken by the swift wind, and the black surface of the lake was like a boiling oil pot, and the rolling black water set off huge waves that constantly lapped the shore.
Huang Jianjun and I withstood a violent tornado and finally escaped to a residential building not far away.
Looking at the silver water dragon writhing its body and wantonly destroying everything from a distance, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and said in my heart that if we were one step too late, we would die on the spot.
Huang Jianjun took off his glasses and wiped the water droplets on the lenses, sat at the top of the stairs, and said with a depressed face: "This time, even God won't help us, but it's okay, it's a blessing or a curse or a curse can't be avoided, the time to come will come sooner or later, and there are some things we have to face." ”
When I heard Huang Jianjun say this, a chill suddenly rose in my heart: It seems that I have to fight with that demon corpse no matter what!
After waiting for more than half an hour, seeing that the waterspouts were gradually dissipating and the wind was gradually subsiding, Huang Jianjun and I hurriedly ran out of the residential building and rushed towards Jinghu Lake.
The path leading to Mirror Lake is full of trees uprooted by tornadoes, and even street lamps and telephone poles have been blown to the ground by strong winds. Huang Jianjun and I cautiously passed through these roadblocks, and after walking for ten minutes, we finally came to the shore of Jinghu Lake.
I pointed to the still rolling surface of the lake, and said with a shocked expression, "Master, the barrier you arranged is gone!" ”
Huang Jianjun didn't say a word, his face was gloomy and he looked at the island in the middle of the lake in the distance, suddenly, as if he had found something, he trembled violently a few times, and said loudly to me: "Xiao Fu, look over there, the coffin, the coffin is floating!" ”
I followed the direction of his finger and saw a wide whirlpool appear on the water less than twenty meters away from the island in the middle of the lake, and in the center of the whirlpool lay a pitch-black coffin, on which the corpse charm was long gone.
"Master, could it be that the whirlpool brought the coffin at the bottom of the lake to the water? But this doesn't make sense! I said to Huang Jianjun.
"The coffin at the bottom of the lake should have been sucked to the surface of the lake under the action of the waterspout, but this whirlpool appeared so strangely that even I couldn't understand the doorway." Huang Jianjun touched his chin and said in a serious tone.
The dark sky continued to resound with the rumbling of thunder, and from time to time a few dazzling bolts of lightning streaked across the lake. Huang Jianjun pulled out the peachwood sword behind him, and said as if facing a great enemy: "Be ready for battle, the thunder will hit the coffin directly at any time, and then the monster in the coffin will break through the last obstacle and reappear in the world!" ”
At present, the situation is urgent, I hurriedly pulled out the Tiangang sword and held it tightly in my hand, my eyes always watching every move of the coffin.
"It doesn't matter what kind of ghost you are, there's a kind of letting the horse come!" I frowned, I didn't dare to breathe, and I kept cheering myself up.
