Chapter 4 of Volume 1
The calm waters of Biyan Lake are turquoise and clear. However, the perennial white mist in the lake is entangled, and it will not disperse for a long time. If the ship enters, nine times out of ten it will be lost, and the boat will be capsized, and no one will be spared. Therefore, there are all kinds of speculations in the world, and the most said is that the smoke in this lake is mostly infested by ghosts and monsters, looking for people to kill them... Therefore, this lake is also privately called the lake of life.
Twilight ten.
A wooden boat slowly moved into the middle of the lake, and suddenly stopped. Shuying looked at the smoke not far away and frowned slightly.
Under the gray sky, the surrounding lake is sparkling, and the white fog ahead is clearly visible. Shuying's eyes suddenly sank, and she slowly sat down. She must not rush in now, because through the white mist in front of her she felt a strange aura that was different from hers. In addition, it is getting late now, and if you insist on passing it, I am afraid it will be even more dangerous and unpredictable. It seems that there is only one night of waiting.
-----
The night sky is full of stars.
At this time, in the dark place of a certain giant tree in Wuxi Mountain.
A white skeleton was staring closely at the unconscious boy on the shore, and in its hollow eyes, two balls like flames were beating quickly and excitedly. The night wind passed through his white skeleton, and the sound of "swish" gently echoed in the gloomy ancient woods, creating a hideous, terrifying smell...
Suddenly, from behind another large tree, another skeleton with a relatively strong skeleton suddenly emerged. The skeleton stiffened its head to look at the skeleton hiding behind the tree, stretched out its white bony palm like a dead branch, and waved at him.
Seeing this, the skeleton hiding behind the tree immediately ran towards him quickly. The white skeleton alone rushed with the wind, and the movements were quite strange and strange for a while.
The two skeletons walked slowly towards the young man, and the "kaka" sound of the bones rubbing against the joints from time to time in the body was particularly terrifying in this quiet night...
"Boss, it's been a long time since we've been popular. Today is really lucky, there is an automatic delivery to the door. The skeleton that had begun to hide behind the tree looked at the young man in front of him, and the two flames in his empty eyes couldn't stop beating with excitement, and his upper and lower jaws opened and closed excitedly.
The skeletal skeleton shook its head suddenly, reaching out and patting the head of the skeleton that spoke. He opened the mouth of the black hole and said stiffly: "You are really stupid! It cost us our lives. And because of the cold atmosphere here, we who can't be reincarnated have become what we are now... How could I have believed what your stupid brain said back then!"
The beaten skeleton, touching its own white skull, finally lowered its head in a muttered way, and said nothing.
"Didn't you hear what the girl said to this boy when you were lying in the hollow of the tree during the day? Hehe, as long as we wait for them to retrieve the spirit bead and pass by the way back, then we will take it away. Wouldn't that be just sitting on the power of a fisherman? Then we will be able to recover our true bodies, and we will not have to hide in the damp and dark hollow of the tree every day. After the skeleton finished speaking, the upper and lower foreheads opened and closed again, and "Kaka" smirked. The sound is extremely terrifying,
"But boss, you said this a long time ago, when a man in white came here!" The beaten skeleton looked up and peeked at the skeleton beside him, and the originally dim fireball in the socket of the black hole shone brightly, and plucked up the courage to continue: "As a result, the man has never come back until now." I think it's mostly gone. So, we might as well just suck him!"
"What?" The other skeleton stared at the skeleton beside it, the red fire in his eyes burning violently, as if he wanted to be angry.
"No, nothing. Hey, hey, the boss does whatever he says. β
The unconscious teenager on the ground seemed to be disturbed by the sound of talking, and his forehead wrinkled slightly.
"He's going to wake up. With a word, the two skeletons suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He Yu opened his eyes dimly. He looked at the dark and quiet surroundings, remembered everything that had happened during the day, and suddenly became angry, and couldn't help but grit his teeth a little.
"Oh no, the boss told me that I must hand over the letter in my arms to my uncle tomorrow no matter what. But now that it's past the middle of the night, where am I going to find a boat?"
He Yu quickly got up, looked at the swaying lake in front of him, and frowned: "Master, I'm sorry." You've said that you can't fly Edgeworth when you're out and about. Because of the lack of concentration, one of us could not control it well, and fell from the sword. You may fall at any time. But in order to complete the things you assigned me, there is only this way now. β
Immediately pulled out the silver sword behind his back, He Yu's expression was serious, and he recited the secret of his heart. With a sound of "Rise!", the silver sword that emitted blue light immediately became ten times larger, floating in front of him. "I wish I could fly over this lake, or I will fall into the lake. β
He Yu landed on his feet and immediately stood on the sword. He looked at the enlarged silver sword at his feet. Hold your right hand with your left hand and put your ring finger and index finger together with your right hand pointing toward the air. With a "boom...", the silver sword rushed straight into the sky.
-----
The sword scurried through the air, and the fierce sound of the wind on both sides was pierced...
The sky slowly brightened, and white clouds filled the sky.
He Yu stood on the sword with trembling all the way, and there was finally no danger. Just when he was slightly used to standing on the sword and flying quickly, in the middle of the lake in the distance, a pink shadow on a wooden boat suddenly hit people's eyes...
Shu Ying looked at the plain-clothed young man who fell from the sky and stood in front of her, and was so shocked that she didn't react for a while.
"Why??," was it pleasantly surprised to see me? orβ" He Yu's eyes were bright and full of mockery.
Being said like this, Shu Ying suddenly felt a little weak, and her white and tender cheeks flushed slightly. The appearance is indescribably pretty and moving.
He Yu's eyes flashed, and he walked to the boat. He gently stretched out his hand, and the light of the silver sword hovering beside the ship went out. After automatically returning to its original size, it slowly stopped in his hand. Inserting the sword into the scabbard behind her, Heyu came up to her. "Why don't you speak? You're thinking about how to throw me off this ship again!" He Yu sneered as he stared at Shuying. He kind of figured it out, and he couldn't be too polite and soft-hearted to such a woman.
Shuying smiled stiffly, suddenly her eyes flickered, and she said thoughtfully: "En." That's a great idea? Why didn't I think of it? As he spoke, he looked like he was thinking.
"You !!" He Yu's side was clenched with his hands because of his extreme qi, and his knuckles were white.
"What am I?" Shuying looked at him, the corners of her mouth turned up, and her face was full of pride.
"You are really vengeful, and you have a bad heart. I was kind enough to take you across the lake, but I didn't expect you to stun me and throw me on the shore..."
"I'm going to take revenge, so what? It's just that I didn't throw you directly into the lake at that time, but left you on the shore?"
"yes, why don't you just throw me into the lake to feed the fish? He Yu looked at Shu Ying's face with meaning, and suddenly turned cold.
How did he know that I had left him on the shore for the sake of containing the spirit beads? The person who went there was nothing more than wanting to get the spirit magic weapon containing the spirit bead. If I can guess that he is here for this, he can also guess my purpose... Shuying's thoughts raced, and she thought secretly.
Shu Ying looked at He Yu's eyes full of deep meaning, raised her eyes and immediately said coldly: "I am bound to get the spirit bead, so I advise you, you had better not fight with me for it." β
"Heh, are you threatening me? But if I don't agree, what can you do to me?" He Yu's eyes locked tightly on Shu Ying's eyes, and suddenly his expression was solemn, and he replied coldly: "Do you still plan to kill people to eliminate your mouth, so as to prevent future trouble?"
"Yes. Shuying's face was firm, and a cold light appeared in her eyes.
At the position of He Yu's chest, something suddenly moved slightly, and then a slight pain spread in the bottom of his heart...
He looked at her and smiled.
The sky covered with white clouds was as quiet as a sleeping child.
The sunlight pierced through the smoke, sprinkling layers of golden rays on the surface of the lake.
The morning breeze drove the lake and raised layer after layer of waves.
The glittering surface of the lake.
A man and a woman stood on a wooden boat surrounded by white smoke.
The two looked at each other with different eyes, unaware that danger was quietly approaching them...
