Chapter 82: The Coffin at the Bottom of the Lake
Chai, the fat man and I looked at each other, damn, I forgot about this, and I went to pick persimmons, and I forgot about it just now.
I turned my head and stretched out my hand to beckon to the fat man, who scratched the back of his head suspiciously, and said suspiciously: What are you doing?
If you don't hurry up and get the firewood back, I'll drag the clothes wrap in the fat man's hand.
The fat man wanted to protest, but under the threat of my groan, he had to reluctantly turn around and walk towards the place where we had thrown away the dry firewood.
Because they didn't know what happened just now, everyone happily made a barbecue, but I was half leaning on a weeping willow by the lake, flipping through the Sanqing Tianshu that I carried with me, staring at the calm lake in a daze.
Judging from the records in the Sanqing Heavenly Book, it is estimated that this water ghost has been dead for more than a year, and this water ghost is different from the lonely ghost and the wild ghost, and he can't leave the water without permission, let alone go ashore.
Because of the particularity of the death of water ghosts, the regulations of the underworld stipulate that the existence of water ghosts can only enter the underworld and be reincarnated after three years of immersion and rendering of the Yellow Spring.
The current water ghost has obviously not reached the three-year period, and his own strength has not yet been formed, otherwise the strength just now would not have allowed me and the fat man to escape so easily.
The water ghost was scared away by the wound of my Yin Awakening Soul Bell, but it was only for a short time, and it did not have a substantial effect on this water ghost at all.
If we don't deal with it today, it is inevitable that there will be other people who will stumble here by mistake like us and fall into the path of water ghosts.
I frowned and flipped through the Sanqing Heavenly Book, but found that it was only a passing record of the water ghosts, and there was no detailed description of how to deal with the water ghosts.
The people behind him had already put up the barbecue grill they brought, and the fat man also walked back depressed with a stack of dry firewood.
Forget it, I'll think about it later! After all, the water ghost has not yet become a climate, and I can't go ashore and confuse other people, so I put away the Sanqing Heavenly Book.
Barbecue, this is the first time I have done it myself, I took an iron tong handed over by Hadron, clamped up a piece of flesh and bone and put it on the grill, and turned over the meat skewers like Hadron and them.
After a while, the things on the grill were already emitting a burst of meat aroma, and Qiangzi didn't know where to take a jar of unknown spices and sprinkled them evenly on the skewers, and suddenly a drooling fragrance came.
I couldn't wait to pick up a skewer of barbecue and eat it, I wasted a lot of energy just now by entangling with the water ghost, and now it's time to replenish it.
Hadron also took out a case of canned beer and asked me if I wanted it, how can I drink now! At the moment, there is a water ghost in the lake, and he doesn't know if there will be any accidents, so he quickly shook his head and claimed that it was uncomfortable, and asked the fat man to drink with them.
The barbecue lasted for four or five hours, and when they looked at the watch on their hands at nine o'clock in the evening, the fat man and the others got drunk and climbed back to their tents and fell asleep.
I didn't feel sleepy, how could this water ghost appear here, frowning and looking at the calm lake.
Hey? I suddenly found a strange thing, the lake is actually the reflection of the moon and stars, what is going on, I looked up at the starry sky in confusion, this is not logical!
I took out a Yin-Yang Heaven Viewing Talisman from the Qiankun bag and opened the Yin-Yang Eye, and found that there was a trace of black gas floating on the surface of the lake, but it made me find the trace of the water ghost.
The water ghost kept swimming on the surface of the lake, and finally seemed to be tired of swimming, turned around and swam towards the center of the lake, I quickly looked in the direction of the water ghost's swimming, and next to a reef in the center of the lake, a black strip came into my eyes.
When I took a closer look, I was shocked to find that the black strip was actually a coffin.
The coffin was already covered with green moss, and if I hadn't opened my yin and yang eyes, the coffin hidden at the bottom of the lake would not have been found at all.
This coffin occupies the final heart of the lake, and you can vaguely see several thick iron chains, which are staggered and fixed to the bottom of the lake.
Could it be that this coffin is the habitat of this water ghost, I stared at the water ghost swimming quickly under the water in confusion.
No, this is not the abode of the water ghost at all, the water ghost just swam directly above the coffin, entrenched on top of the coffin, as if it were ...... A watchdog.
Could it be that I stood up suddenly, and looked at the water ghost in the center of the lake with a frown, and the water ghost seemed to be looking at me with a probe that seemed to be aware of it.
Damn, it's so poisonous, no wonder, no wonder there are water ghosts here, otherwise how could such a remote place drown people and become water ghosts?
I frowned at the surface of the lake, and decided to go down to the lake again to find out the truth, in order to avoid being attacked by this hateful water ghost again, I pinned the Yin Awakening Bell and the Sanqing Heavenly Ruler to my belt early, and used a Liuding Liujia amulet for myself before entering the water.
The moment I entered the water, the water ghost in the center of the lake knew it, and with a thud it left the entrenched coffin and rushed towards me.
It's a pity that I came prepared this time, and the moment the water ghost came, I pulled out the Sanqing Heavenly Ruler in my hand and slashed towards the water ghost.
The water ghost hit the Sanqing Heavenly Ruler hard, but there was no harm at all, fortunately, at this time, I had already used the Liuding Liujia Talisman to protect my whole body, otherwise I would have miscalculated and suffered again this time.
Seeing that the Sanqing Heavenly Ruler in my hand was ineffective against it, the water ghost immediately circled around me with a fierce face, if it weren't for the power of the spell that made it unable to succeed, it would have pounced on it a long time ago.
The amulet only lasted a few minutes, and it didn't allow me to get close to the coffin, so I could only look at the coffin from afar.
The whole body of the coffin has been covered with green moss and parasites underwater, and it can be vaguely seen that it is a bronze coffin, and through the moss, it can be seen that the coffin has begun to rust.
The four thick iron chains tied to the coffin held it to the bottom of the water, and the thick iron chains stretched far away, and there was no end in sight.
Not only that, but there are also eight peculiar stone beasts around the coffin, the stone beasts are different, some are like huge golden toads, poisonous snake stone statues, and the stone statues are also covered with moss, which looks very regrettable and strange in the deep water.
I carefully looked at the layout near the coffin, and found that the surface of the lake was a regular circle, and the coffin was in the center of the lake.
These eight stone statues are regularly divided into eight trigrams and distributed around the coffin, as if guarding the coffin.
I finally understood that the owner of this coffin had chosen a strange place of heaven and earth for himself, and wanted to absorb the aura of heaven and earth with the help of Qimen gossip, so that his soul could be transcended and get rid of the six realms of reincarnation, and his descendants would also be able to get the gospel of the ancestors for this, and future generations would not be rich and noble.
