Chapter 68: The River of the World
It was clear from the beginning that Lynch's intentions were only here to satisfy some of his curiosity. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this world, Lynch's cultivation methods that he has seen so far are not very new, except for the practice of fighting skills, most of the rest of the people use meditation as a means, and the flame inheritor communicates with the stars through the flames, and the possessed person He did not deliberately ask, after all, he himself is the possessed person, and it seems a little strange to ask this question.
Lynch had never seen anyone come up with any cultivation methods or secrets, and everyone seemed to know how to cultivate completely since they became professionals, which made him more or less incomprehensible.
Of course, his cultivation method is also incomprehensible to others.
The longer he became an ability, the more curious he became about Luo Yu's careful attempt to find a room to cultivate, which was why Lynch was standing here now.
It can be seen that this house has not been inhabited for a long time.
Lynch walked past the table in the center of the hall, touched the thick dust of the table with his fingers, and looked around boredly at Lily, who followed him, before his big red eyes lit up and found a discarded lantern on a chair.
"Look at this, Lynch!" she scurried to her chair and picked up the worn-out lantern on the table, "It looks like someone lived here!"
She excitedly showed the lantern in her hand to Lynch, and then her red eyes flashed, and the lantern that had been extinguished was lit up again.
"There's some lamp oil in there," she said, looking a little pleased, "I don't know which of the guards used to patrol here." ”
She didn't seem to think of Luo Yu's side. Lynch was a little happy, and at the same time hurriedly gently touched Lily's head that was still thinking: "Okay, this is all in the past, there is no need to mention it again, I think Lily, you better focus on perception, okay? There are more monsters here than in the inner ring, and I still have to rely on you to protect it." ”
As he spoke, he took the lantern from the little girl's hand and put the slightly dirty lantern back on the table.
In fact, Lynch's movements are more awkward, he is still a lot lower than Lily, and to be honest, it feels a little awkward.
But Lily eats this set.
Although she has always wanted to see Lynch as a younger brother, she is actually in a more passive role.
I didn't say it at first, but it was a little strange when I said it later, and Lynch, who had comforted Lily, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then continued to walk to the room where Luo Yu didn't let Lynch enter before.
He opened the door, glanced inside, and breathed a sigh of relief.
There was nothing in it.
Except for the white walls, this small room was empty, with no terrifying monsters or forbidden books.
This is not a small possibility, Lynch thought as he walked into the room, looked at it a few times, and then walked out again.
Lily, who was following her, frowned suspiciously as she entered, the red glimmer in her eyes flickered again, and then twitched her nose and sniffed lightly.
"Looks like there's nothing left, let's retreat!
Lynch didn't notice Lily's puzzled look, he took Lily's hand and left the house quickly.
This place is in vain, but the danger must continue.
The two children walked in silence and returned to their previous route.
"Lily, have you ever heard anything about this river from your dad or anyone else?"
"Like...... I heard it when my father was chatting with an uncle who came to the house as a guest. Lily replied softly, looking down at her steps in line with Lynch's as she spoke, "But I don't know if that's what they're talking about." ”
It turns out that there is more than one river or something. Lynch nodded.
"They were saying that there were no monsters in the water or something...... I don't remember exactly, I was playing with my sister. ”
After a few years of communication, Lynch also knew about Lily's life experience, and it was better for her sister to rarely mention it in front of her.
"There are no monsters in the water?" Lynch made a puzzled look at Lily, "Why are there no monsters in the water?" Lily, have you ever heard of water ghosts?"
"Is the water ghost a monster in the river?" asked Lily.
"Yes. Lynch nodded: "If someone accidentally drowns in the river, he may become a water ghost, and then catch those who are swimming in the water like him or some other people who want to cross the river, catch them in the river, and then drown them, and make these people monsters like himself." ”
"Swimming?" Lily's reaction was different from what Lynch had expected, and although she understood what she meant when swimming, she didn't seem to understand the origin of the water ghost that Lynch explained: "Why can you swim in the river?"
"Well, people with good water skills can usually swim in rivers that are not too fast. Lynch explained a little embarrassed, he thought the little girl was disgusted with the dirty water of the river: "Some rivers are still very clean, as long as there is less pollution, you can actually play in them." ”
"Playing in the river?" Lynch's further explanation not only did not dispel Lily's doubts, but she was even more surprised: "How can people play in the river?"
Lynch didn't speak, he stopped, and turned to look at Lily's eyes that widened in surprise.
He felt that the communication between the two people was not on the same frequency, and there must be something wrong here.
Lily was a little overwhelmed by Lynch's sudden movements, and she also stopped, looking at Lynch timidly, not knowing what she had said wrong.
"Why can't people go to the river and play?"
"Hmm...... That man can go play. ”
"Well, I didn't mean that, Lily, I'm sorry, didn't I scare you a little just now?" Lynch was a little crying and laughing, he let go of the hand that had been holding Lily, and rubbed his face, was the expression just now scary?
"Nope. Lily silently withdrew her little hand.
"What I just meant -- why did you say people can't go to the river to play? Is there a reason? Is it because there's something in the river or something? Or is the river very polluted right now?"
"Dad said the water in the river is not the same as the water we use," Lily whispered, "and they're dead." We can neither drink nor use it. ”
"Dead?"
Lynch immediately thought of the Dead Sea.
"Hmm. Lily nodded: "And nothing can float on it, not even the feathers on your hair or quill, if you put it on it, it will sink immediately." ”
Well, it has nothing to do with the Dead Sea.
"Is this true of all rivers?"
"I don't know......" Lily whispered, "but it should all be the same." ”
