Chapter 205: Whereabouts Revealed
I don't know that Gu Jie detonated a few grenades, and in short, the ground shook, and a thick layer of ash fell on me and Jingjing. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
After the explosion ended, I raised my head suddenly, but what I saw was a bloodied lake god standing in the distance, it was quite seriously injured, and it kept roaring at Gu Jie.
Gu Jie was no better, he stood up leisurely and plucked his ears vigorously.
Just a moment later, the lake god turned around sharply and crawled out of the cave, and although it was not lightly injured, it was still crawling at a slow pace.
I hurriedly ran after the figure of the lake god to the outside of the cave, and soon caught up with it by the lake, and the lake god's dark green eyes stared at me viciously a few times, and let out a deafening scream.
As soon as the shouts rang out, it actually started to rain on the lake, and the raindrops soaked my clothes, and I could only watch as the lake god jumped into the Devil's Cry Lake.
By the time Quiet helped Gu Jie out, the raindrops on the lake had already stopped, and Quiet asked, "Editor Luo, where did the lake god go?" β
I pointed to the Devil's Cry Lake: "It should be hidden at the bottom of the lake, I'm afraid it won't come out anytime soon." β
At this moment, I found that Gu Jie's condition was not very good, the whole person was groggy and his face was also very bad, I hurriedly asked, "Quiet, what's wrong with Section Chief Gu?" β
"Maybe it's mercury poisoning, let's take him back to Miao Village first, by the way, Editor Luo, I've been wanting to ask just now, Youmeng, is she a ghost."
Quietly shuddered when she asked this question, it was obvious that she was still a little taboo, and I quickly explained: "The ghost dream is not a ghost, but a living soul, let's go back and explain to you, let's take Section Chief Gu back first, his state is getting worse and worse." β
After getting Gu Jie onto the raft, I took the dream back to the purple gold gourd, and I asked while rowing, "Quiet, you had mercury vapor on the lake god just now, what the hell is going on." β
It's quiet and complicated, I barely understood part of it, and the approximate meaning is that when the lake god rushed over just now, she took a closer look and found that the lake god was covered with a large amount of silver-white liquid substance.
Mercury is very adsorptive and volatile, so she emits mercury vapor from the lake god, and the concentration is not low, and inhaling a certain amount will be fatal.
Tranquility even said that she finally knew where the large area of mercury steam near Devil Cry Lake came from, and there must be a large amount of mercury ore somewhere at the bottom of the lake, and the lake god was hiding in it.
During the day, when the sun shines directly on the surface of the lake, a large amount of mercury vapor volatilizes into the air, and the Devil May Cry Lake is surrounded by mountains, and the mercury vapor is not easy to dissipate, which is the reason why humans and animals cannot survive for a long time.
It's really scary to think about it, mercury has such a great power.
Quiet and me, don't look at the mercury, even if the mercury thermometer is broken, the mercury in it will cause serious consequences if it is not processed for a long time.
However, while the two of us were chatting, countless torches suddenly lit up on the other side of the lake, and the people of Miao Village stood almost all over the shore, and the leader was the saint Longxiu.
It's not good, the movement is too big, and it was discovered by the people of Baimiao Village.
Sand, sand.
Before our kayak could reach the shore, hundreds of pairs of red eyes suddenly appeared in the lake, and then hundreds of red snake fish jumped in and jumped into the kayak, and involuntarily wrapped themselves around me and Quiet.
A feeling of nausea came, and my goosebumps all came up, and I didn't dare to move, so I could only let the kayak dock on its own, and when I finally reached the shore, more terrible poisonous insects came again.
Hundreds of scorpions hung barbs high, dozens of ugly toads spewed venom from their backs, and the shore was crawling with countless huge red-headed centipedes.
With an angry expression on her face, Ah Zhu was blowing the night flute, and the snakes finally slowly swam away from me.
The Holy Maiden Long Xiu swept away her previous gentle expression, and said angrily: "Luo Changtian, Gu Jie, be quiet, what are you three going to the island in the middle of the lake to do, why is there a sky-high explosion." β
Even our names were clear, and it seemed that I loved them more than lucky, so I hurriedly asked: "Holy Maiden, how is my friend, I haven't done anything to be sorry for your Miao Village." β
Long Xiu snorted coldly and said: "Whether they are good or not depends on whether you are telling the truth, it has been a long time since there has been a shame in the Ten Thousand Snakes Pit, I don't mind feeding them all at once." β
No, we just went to meet the lake god, and Long Xiu actually wanted to throw love into the Ten Thousand Snake Pit.
I hurriedly explained: "Holy Maiden, misunderstanding, Tranquility and I just went to the island in the middle of the lake to study the artificial cave, and had no other meaning. β
Long Xiu didn't believe my words at all, and as soon as her right hand was raised, a very strange insect appeared in her palm.
She slowly approached me and said in a deep voice: "Luo Changtian, give you a chance one last time, otherwise, you will taste the taste of life is worse than death, don't think that we Miao Zhai people have not seen the world and are easy to deceive." β
The worms used by the saints are certainly not a good thing.
I glanced at Gu Jie who was unconscious, and had to say: "Holy Maiden, in fact, our purpose is to capture the lake god and go back to study, we have met just now, Gu Jie injured it with a grenade, and now it is lurking back to the bottom of the lake." β
As soon as my words fell, the Miao people present suddenly exploded, I don't know what they are, in short, they all don't look good.
Long Xiu's body trembled slightly, she glanced at the lake, and said sharply, "Escort the three of them back to me." β
Just now, he was fighting to the death with the lake god, and in a blink of an eye, he became Long Xiu's captive.
After returning to Miao Village, Long Xiu did not see me, but locked me and Jing Jing in the wooden house, and at the same time put Ah Zhu and her red snake in charge of guarding us.
I was worried about the safety of love, but at this moment, there was nothing I could do.
Quiet saw that I was a little anxious, and said: "Editor Luo, don't worry, now is a society under the rule of law, Long Xiu shouldn't mess around, she may be urgently discussing how to deal with us, and the worst plan is to be permanently expelled." β
In fact, if you can drive us away, it's already thankful, I'm most afraid of getting some strange Gu worms, poisonous insects, and make us not human, ghosts, although Uncle Wang's potion is very powerful, but after all, it is still time-sensitive.
I'm locked up, but I have time to calm down and think about things now.
I simply let the dream out and asked, "Youmeng, you have someone talking to you, what else has he done besides letting you run?" β
You Meng thought for a while, and showed a puzzled expression: "That voice is very strange, he keeps repeating a sentence, it's a monster, it's a monster, as if I'm afraid I won't understand." β
Monsters, why monsters, instead of calling it the god of the lake.
The story about the lake god has been passed down from generation to generation by Bai Miao, and there should be no mistake, but the mysterious voice is also in the Miao language, and he also emphasized that it is a monster.
Monster, the tribute platform built a hundred years later, not long after we arrived at the lake cave, the lake god soon appeared.
A flash of inspiration flashed, and my heart suddenly brightened, and I hurriedly grabbed Quiet's hand: "Quiet, I understand, I made a mistake, I must have made a mistake." β
Jing Jing was taken aback by my sudden move, and quickly retracted his hand, a little nervous: "Editor Luo, did you think of something." β
I nodded heavily and said, "Quiet, if you are sure that Gongtai was built later, then I am sure that the legend of the Bai Miao clan must have been distorted, and that cave was not used to put the bride of the lake god at all." β
Quiet shook her head to show that she didn't understand, and I had to tell what I was thinking.
According to the legend of Bai Miao Village, before sending a girl into the cave, she needs to go through a series of rituals, the most important of which is bathing and praying.
Generally, it is enough to bathe for three days, but the transmission of white seedlings takes a full forty-nine days, which is enough time to integrate the special smell into a person's soul.
This is a good explanation for why as soon as we enter the cave, the lake god appears very quickly, because it smells the special smell that attracts it, and this smell is emitted by the living soul of the dream.
Humans have a far inferior sense of smell to animals, let alone a mutated four-legged snake.
Therefore, the truth about the construction of the cave thousands of years ago was not to sacrifice the bride at all, but to trap the four-legged snake.
The entrance to the stone cave is very large and empty, with no other branches, which is clearly to facilitate the hunting of the four-legged snake so that it has nowhere to escape.
Me: "Quiet, this four-legged snake may have started to harm one party thousands of years ago, and no one in the lake was its opponent, so the Bai Miao tribe at that time came up with such a way to hunt and kill the four-legged snake, but I don't know why, a hundred years later, it turned into a legend to send a bride to the lake god." β
Strangely, something must have gone terribly wrong.
If the ancient legend is wrong, then why did the torrential rain only hit Baimiao Village twenty-three years ago, this area is still a long way from the Devil's Cry Lake.
