Chapter 357: Preparation

A thought lingered in my mind, is there any connection between the rebellion in the underworld and the Hongcun incident?

When the tricks of Hongcun were entangled, there were several forces, and the one who could vaguely connect with the underworld was the side of Lao Shan Temple and Zhu Ji Ye.

The backer behind him is a bull head in the underworld, with two ghost slaves under him, and a white-faced young man on the periphery.

It's a pity that Ji Ye is dead, the old paper man ghost is scattered, the little paper man ghost is a ghost, and he drank Meng Po soup, and everything has been forgotten.

In a word, the clues are all broken!

The only one who may know a little is the white-faced youth!

But he obviously has something to do with the Ghost King Palace!

I feel more and more that the clue that connects the Ghost King Palace, the Great Demon City, the Hongcun Underground Palace, and the ghost caves here is becoming clearer and clearer!

It may not be long before the truth comes out.

It's a game, a game that's so big that it's far beyond my imagination.

The Hongcun Trick is just one part of the game.

The storm is coming!

Seeing that I was stunned, the leather-clad guest came over and patted me on the shoulder, comforting: "Don't think too much about it, focus on the present, no matter what happens in the future, we will help you." ”

I nodded slowly and said thank you sincerely.

The leather-clothed man smiled and said half-jokingly: "No matter what, you are also grown up by me, I remember the first time I went to Hongcun, you were just full moon, and you would laugh at that time." ”

I was amused and touched the tip of my nose in embarrassment.

The leather coater had been paying attention to Hongcun for many years under the cover of being a timber merchant, but he didn't expect it to be more than 20 years. In other words, he should have gone to Hongcun not long after inheriting Helansheng's curse.

Fortunately, the curse has been lifted.

The fat man also patted me on the shoulder and said, "Focus on the present, don't think too much." ”

I nodded, now I can only focus on the present, get the Yin Order to help Miao Miao get out of house arrest, and the rest is just something else.

With that in mind, I asked, "What's next?" ”

"If there is Huangquan Ground Milk here, there will definitely be Huangquan River, and there will be clues if you find it." Guagodao.

Then we discussed it for a few words, and then we headed for the deepest part of the abyss. The direction is easy to find, and the bits and pieces of Huangquan ground milk gather together and flow towards the low-lying places, forming a striped line of water stains on the ground.

Soon, a small stream formed by the water of a yellow spring appeared in front of us, flowing farther away.

It's just that the scalp is numb, the stream is not quiet, from time to time there are pitch-black and cold monsters floating in the water, and occasionally a pair of scarlet beast eyes are exposed, which makes people's backs tingle.

"Be careful, those are the Styx Yin Beasts, a kind of evil that has been demonized and is very aggressive." Brother Gua said to me.

I nodded, and instinctively took two steps back, and the things were in groups, and they looked like there were quite a few of them.

After that, we walked all the way down the stream for about an hour, and the streams came together and the water gradually became larger, until a lake was formed, the size of several football fields.

"What's the situation, why is there nothing?" Looking at the endless lake, the fat man was a little puzzled.

"Who said nothing?" Brother Gua smiled, pointed to the water and said, "Isn't that?" ”

The fat man and I looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, although the water was muddy, we could still see a large shadow hidden under the water.

There's something, it's like a building!

"Shhh...... How do we go down, there are too many harmful things in the water. The fat man gasped, and his face changed slightly.

I also saw that my scalp was numb, there were countless dark water yin beasts in a small stream alone, and the number of lakes was too scary, if people jumped into it, there would be no bones left to be gnawed every minute.

Underwater can not be compared to land, people can fall into it can exert two percent of their strength, even if they are powerful, most people fall into the water, the strength is almost none, there are only 100 catties of meat left.

As we spoke, groups of Yin beasts roamed in the water, forming a huge black shadow that looked like it was making people's scalps explode.

"Don't worry, we're prepared."

The leather-clad man took off the backpack on his back and patted it, and said to me and the fat man, "We have prepared a lot of time before coming here, and now it can be regarded as coming in handy." ”

Then he pulled the backpack open, and inside it was a bag full of clay pots, and he sealed it with yellow clay.

"What is this?" The fat man ran over and held the clay pot in the palm of his hand.

"This is a corpse-scented fruit brew, it has a strong attraction to things like the Water Yin Beast, and it only takes a little bit to get them drunk!" The leather coat said politely, and took out the clay pots one by one as he spoke.

"Holy! It's hard to find, and it takes seven hundred and forty-nine days to brew, so have you been working on this thing all this time? The fat man asked in shock.

The leather-clothed man nodded and said, "Yes, this thing has to be brewed when it is picked, not only is the material troublesome and time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it must also be brewed under the corpse fragrant fruit tree, which is very troublesome, and it is easy to attract dirty things before it succeeds, and it does take a lot of effort and time." ”

I was speechless for a while, no wonder they couldn't get in touch for so long, they dared to make this thing in their heads, after thinking about it, I asked a little strangely: "Did you already know that there is a dark water pool here?" ”

Brother Gua smiled and said, "I didn't know before, but I only found out when I asked Boss Cao when I was investigating the ghost cave, and we also started preparing it at that time." ”

"Boss Cao?"

I looked at the bearded man, and felt a little strange in my heart, it was impossible for him to come here with his strength, how did he know?

The bearded man saw my doubts and explained: "Actually, this is not a secret, people can't get in, but there are a lot of ghosts who go out from inside, and if you have more contact, you will naturally know some of them." ”

I nodded, and the explanation was reluctant.

Then, the leather-clothed guest lined up all the clay pots and said solemnly: "Wait until the next time you open the clay pots, throw them into the water, hold your breath, this thing is only anesthetic to the Yin Beast, but it is highly poisonous to people, there is no antidote, be careful." ”

As soon as I listened, I carefully picked up the clay pot, and then with five or six of them, I held my breath and unsealed the clay pot and threw it into the lake.

After that, we threw another round before we finished throwing the pot.

As soon as the clay pot entered the water, it immediately turned into a blood-red liquid that melted into the lake, staining the water in the shadow area with blood.

Soon, the originally calm surface of the lake seemed to be boiling, and all the nearby Stygian Yin Beasts rushed over frantically, stirring and jumping in the blood water, scrambling for the first place.

I looked at the scalp numb, too much, dense, the building under the water, really chose a good location. If you don't have these things prepared in advance, it's just wishful thinking to think about it.

The Styx Yin Beast, Miao Miao mentioned to me before, said that it was difficult to deal with, fierce and tenacious, and liked to be in groups.

Qimen jargon says: It is better to bully the mountains than the water, which is the truth.

After a while, the boiling of the water surface gradually stopped, and then I saw many things sinking, and at the same time, many things were floating up, and some of them even turned white.

"It's done!"

Guago's joy.

The leather coat and Aunt Hong also laughed, they had been preparing for nearly two months, and finally reaped the results.

I looked at the surface of the water and found that those Dark Water Yin Beasts were of all shapes and sizes, large and small, with fangs and sharp teeth, and their scales and armor were all extremely terrifying.

Most of them are like snakes, demonized and strange, although there are many of them, but it is difficult to find two identical ones, a considerable number of them are like piranhas, but they are far more terrifying than piranhas, they are completely a combination of various monsters, and the back of the back is swishing cold just by looking at it.

There are snakeheads and fish bodies, fish heads and hooked tails, and even looks like human-faced octopuses...... And so on, and so on.

Seeing this, the leather-clothed guest clapped his hands and said, "Let's go down, remember not to drink water, the speed must be fast, the aging time of the corpse fragrant fruit brew is only ten minutes!" ”

"Only ten minutes?" I was slightly startled, this is going to happen to a little accident, after thinking about it, I hurriedly took out the night pearl and stuffed it into my mouth, this thing still works underwater.

Then the group went into the water one after another, and after entering the water, they quickly dived down.

The water in the lake is very muddy, and the light is not good in the first place, so that we can only judge our respective positions by the light of the flashlight tied to our bodies underwater, and we can hardly see people.

The fat man and I were in the middle, struggling to keep up with the steps of Gua Ge and Aunt Hong in front of us, diving all the way down, and the water pressure gradually increased.

At this time, I finally saw the general outline of the underwater building, which is a very classical model of oriental architecture, with tiled roofs and wooden beams, cocked on both sides, in the shape of wings flying.

At first glance, it looks like there was originally one such building here, only to be submerged by the Stygian Water.

At that moment, a flash of light flashed out of the corner of my eye, and something black rushed towards me.

I was taken aback and instinctively swung my knife.

There was a trembling sound of "bang", and the heavy knife was forced, and I was blown backwards.

At the same time, I could see clearly what had attacked me, a scaly beast, the size of a wolf, with the body of an eagle-billed snake and a claw, which at first glance looked a little like a crocodile.

It was probably stunned by my heavy knife for a moment, shook its head, and then pounced on me again, flicking its long tail and increasing its speed in a flash.

"Damn!"

I cursed and slashed with the strength to feed.

This thing must have slipped through the net, it just came from somewhere else, and it wasn't here when the corpse fragrant fruit brew was just thrown in.
