Chapter 68 Weak Water Lake
Looking at my puzzled expression, Zhou Hao looked at me like a neuropath, and said, "The Murong family is a very famous antique family here, and the ancestors of the Murong family have been reselling antiques for four generations, but when it comes to Murong Xinglong's generation, it has begun to decline, and the market is about to be eaten by the Qin family, which is also an antique family." ”
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you know so much?" ”
Zhou Hao smiled bitterly and said, "As long as you inquire about these things a little, anyone can know, and it's not a secret!" ”
I nodded slightly, and then asked suspiciously, "So what are they doing here?" ”
Zhou Hao sighed and said, "The Murong family was cornered by the Qin family, so they could only dig graves to get something ancient and valuable, otherwise, their Murong family wouldn't be able to support it for long!" ”
I don't know anything about antiques, business or anything, but I understand what Zhou Hao means, that is, the Murong family is now engaged in tomb robbery. Digging graves and robbing graves is extremely damaging to yin morality, harming others and oneself!
I took a deep breath, frowned, and raised my head slightly to look at the people of the Murong family, only to see that they seemed to have already discussed and were ready to move on.
I retracted back behind the stone, looked at Zhou Hao and said, "Follow them." Zhou Hao thought for a while and nodded.
Leaves fell with the breeze, and Zhou Hao and I gently followed behind those few people from the Murong family.
After walking for a while, we came to a small lake, there is a wooden bridge in the middle of the lake, I don't know when it was built, there is moss growing on the edge of the wooden bridge, and the wood used to build the bridge is also blackened by the lake water, which looks a little rotten.
I hid aside and looked at the lake, the lake was black, but it was not as black as ink, I could see it vaguely, but this lake made me feel faintly uneasy, it was too quiet, the whole lake was so quiet that I couldn't even see a fish, a single fallen leaf, this was too unreasonable, I muttered in my heart.
Coming to this lake, several people from the Murong family stopped, and the old man stood there with a piece of paper and a girl watching, and from time to time he raised his head and looked around, as if he was looking at a map.
At this time, one of the young men in the team had his hand cut by something, and he said hello to a few young people next to him, and then he squatted beside the stream with his bloody hands, as if to wash it, and the blood dripped into the stream, and then dissipated.
However, suddenly, with a "plop~", the young man turned headlong into the water, and then a piece of blood rose in front of him.
Several young people next to him saw it, were startled, and hurriedly prepared to save the man who fell into the water.
"All back!" At this moment, a voice shouted. The young men all stopped and looked at the old man, who had made the voice.
"Miss and I just looked at the map, this is not an ordinary lake, but a weak water lake, feathers fall into it will sink, it can be said that no living creature can fall into the water and then come up, but in recent years, I don't know what's going on, there is a kind of fish in this weak water river, they can not only survive in this water, but also feed on the meat of humans and other animals."
Hearing this, the young men hurriedly ran back to the old man's side, looking nervously at the river of death.
"But don't worry, you can cross from that bridge." At this moment, a girl's voice sounded, the old man also nodded, and the young men raised their eyes to the wooden bridge and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaoxue, it seems that this matter is not as simple as we imagined, or you go down the mountain and wait for us, it's too dangerous here, if you are injured, we can't afford it!" The old man looked at the girl with some concern and said.
The girl took a deep breath, then exhaled, and said with a somewhat dim look in her eyes, "Uncle Peng, you grew up watching me, I will never marry that Qin Yicheng, and in order to prevent our Murong family's century-old foundation from being ruined, we must find this Yin Gathering Pearl, which the Qin family wants." ”
Listening to the girl's words, the old man nodded slightly, his expression was also a little lonely, he sighed, looked at the girl who was holding Murong Xue's arm, and said, "Fluttershy, take care of Missy." ”
"Yes!" The girl nodded heavily, the girl named Fluttershy wore two ponytails and a straitjacket, and despite her age, she didn't show the slightest panic, and she looked very capable and old-fashioned.
The old man looked at the young men and said, "Let's rest here for a while, cross this bridge, and walk a short way to the tomb, and then there will be no time to rest!" Because it's dangerous here at night. ”
The young men seemed to respect the old man, and they nodded, then sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Hey, Huoyi, they did go to that cave, and the cave I found last time was in the same place that the old man had just mentioned. But this lake is so dangerous! Saying that, Zhou Hao wiped a cold sweat, last time he was taken to the cave in a daze, and he came out in a daze, now thinking of the scene just now, his back can't help but feel a little cold, and secretly said that he really picked up a life.
I nodded slightly, and now I knew why there was not even a single fish in the lake, not a single fallen leaf.
I looked up at the girl named Xiaoxue, and I felt very close to her.
After about a quarter of an hour, the old man stood up and said, "All right, everyone should be careful when you go up the bridge!" ”
The young men also stood up and nodded in agreement.
At this time, I was secretly opening the eyes of heaven to observe the lake, only to see a layer of rich black yin and evil qi shrouded above the lake.
I frowned and nodded thoughtfully, it turned out that the yin qi of the entire mountain had been gathered in this lake, who did it? What is his purpose in doing this?
"Gone!" At this time, Zhou Hao spoke, and then followed behind the Murong family and the others.
Only then did I come back to my senses, closed my heavenly eyes, pressed the doubts in my heart, and chased after Zhou Hao.
"Gu ......" stepped on the decaying wooden bridge, and several young people from the Murong family looked around vigilantly.
"Huh~Huh~" Suddenly, a gust of wind blew on the originally calm bridge deck, and the surface of the entire lake was slightly rippled in circles.
Zhou Hao and I stood behind a big tree not far from the bridge, looking at the strange scene on the bridge, Zhou Hao swallowed his saliva and hid behind me.
I watched warily at both sides of the bridge, and slowly lowered my right hand into the treasure bag.
"Bang~" "Bang~" Two sounds of breaking water sounded, and I saw several black fish jumping out of the lake, these fish eyes were red, and they opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and bit fiercely at a young man standing on the side.
Before the young man could react, the strange fish came closer. My pupils flickered, and I waved my hand to make a few runes, but I saw a flash of fire on the bridge, and the fish were burned by the flames without a trace.
I was stunned for a moment, and the young man who was attacked by the fish wiped the sweat on his head, looked at Murong Xue, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss!" ”
Murong Xue nodded, frowned slightly and said, "This lake is very weird, let's speed up crossing the bridge!" ”
I turned to look at Zhou Hao, a little surprised in my heart.
Zhou Hao saw that I was looking at him, he was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know what's going on." However, I heard others say that Murong Xue, the eldest lady of the Murong family, had a serious illness a few days ago, and then she didn't know how to get better, and then she had some special abilities. ”
Hearing this, I nodded slightly. "Let's go!" Zhou Hao patted me on the shoulder and said, but he didn't move. I gave him a blank look, why didn't you wait for me just now! Spirits!
I took out an evil charm from the treasure bag and pasted it on Zhou Hao's chest, and said disdainfully, "Okay! Zhou Hao smiled embarrassedly, and then pulled me towards the bridge.
I don't know if it's because of the evil charm on Zhou Hao's body or what, he went all the way smoothly.
When passing by the place where the young man was attacked just now, I looked carefully at the bridge deck, but found that there was not even a little fish residue, some of them were a puddle of fishy slime, and I secretly said in my heart that those fish shrouded in black qi were all transformed by yin qi and evil qi, and those fish had no intelligence, and some were just simple bloodthirsty and killing.
Walking across the wooden bridge is a forest with blackened green leaves, which is the reason why the whole forest is overshaded.
Quietly following behind the Murong family, he walked for a while, and gradually walked out of this strange and cold wood, and at the end of the woods appeared a barren mountain overgrown with weeds, and dozens of crooked and dry poplar trees grew sparsely on the mountain.
The people of the Murong family glanced at each other, and the old man pointed his finger to one place and said, "That's it!" ”
Looking in the direction of the old man's finger, there was a man-high hole on the left side of this barren mountain, which could only accommodate one person in width, surrounded by some unknown plants and vines, and it was impossible to find the hole without looking carefully.
I frowned, and I could feel the yin qi floating from the cave entrance when I stood dozens of steps away from the entrance of the cave.
I glanced at Zhou Hao, who was a little nervous because he didn't know what was in the cave, because he was excited that he was about to find the treasure.
I squinted my eyes slightly, and secretly said in my heart that Zhou Hao's so-called treasure might be empty, because this place made me feel very evil.
I didn't stop Zhou Hao, because after this series of strange things, I had a lot of questions in my heart, what was in the cave? Why would something lure people into this cave? Why did someone set up a large Yin Gathering Array in that weak water lake? Why is there a trace of resentment in that weak water lake in addition to yin qi? All the doubts lingered in my mind, and I thought that only by entering this cave could all the mysteries be solved.
