Chapter 136: Under the Black Cloud II
Black clouds gathered in the sky, like clouds of smoke.
The sails had been lowered, and the whole ship was in an inexplicable panic, a terrifying black cloud that was rare.
Zhang Fang woke up from his meditation, and the noise outside the door had reached his ears.
Looking out of the window, it was already dark, but if you looked far away, you could see a huge golden ring on the horizon.
"There are quirks. Zhang Fang's expression was solemn, and an inexplicable aura spread up from the river, spreading everywhere, and the power of the fear in his body suddenly began to stir.
The rooms on the first floor are the most numerous, and they are also very narrow, and more than sixty percent of the people on the ship live, and the light is not very good, and at this moment it is very dark, and it is as if falling into darkness.
The lanterns on the ship emitted a faint red light, slowly scattering, driving away the darkness.
The storm was approaching, and except for a few who kept order and the sailors were still busy, the rest of the people went into their rooms to avoid the storm.
The river shook even more, the hull of the ship was deeply affected, and a small amount of water was scattered on the deck, and only a few people remained here.
"Based on my years of experience, this is no ordinary rainstorm, I observed the constellation yesterday, and there will be no storm at all in the near future. ”
A middle-aged man in his forties looked at the strange black clouds in the sky, his expression was serious, he was the captain of this ship, Fang He, who had been sailing for nearly twenty years, and he could see it very accurately.
"I don't care what this is, you must ensure that you survive this rainstorm, if you delay my business, I want you to compensate me for all my losses...."
He was a merchant, and he paid a lot of money to let this ship carry gold, stone and jade to sell, and if the ship capsized, others would die, and the goods on the ship would be buried at the bottom of the river.
"Boss Xu, you go in first, here I and my brother are here, and it will be safe." Fang He showed a flattering expression, and the sailors beside him also said that they were powerful, and the man returned to the guest room dissatisfied.
In order to earn money and support his family and his family, he also set sail desperately and took over a large business.
"Hmph!" the fat man snorted coldly, turned around and left.
"It's a problem. Fang He looked at the strange sky, he didn't know if he could survive such a strange celestial phenomenon.
Dark, very dark.
The sky and the earth were pitch black, and all the light had disappeared except for the light emitted by the ship's swaying lanterns.
The heavens and the earth whined, like the whimper of a baby.
The wind blew vigorously on this lonely boat, the surging river slapped the hull mercilessly, the river water sprinkled all over the deck, and even fish and shrimp could be seen lying on the deck.
I don't know when it began, a panic filled the surroundings, giving people an extremely oppressive atmosphere, almost suffocating and breathless.
At this time, two people walked on the boat, both with swords in their hands, walking side by side, and the boat was frighteningly quiet, as if they were the only ones alive.
It was quiet, so quiet that you could hear each other's breathing, and their footsteps were light, but you could still hear the sound of tapping and tapping.
"Be careful, there's a lot of mirage in the air. The man was the first to break the silence, and looked around with a pair of god-like eyes.
The woman in white beside him nodded when she heard this, her fair face suddenly became much more serious, and she looked at the man and said, "What is mirage, why haven't I heard of it before." ”
The man twisted the red lantern in his left hand, the light drove out the darkness, and also illuminated the decoration on the two of them, but the strange thing was that except for the shadow of the woman in white on the ground, the shadow of the man in green was nowhere to be found.
Bang!
knocked on the door of a room and no one responded, and then the man in Tsing Yi kicked open the closed door, and the door opened inward with a clatter, gurgling and dangling non-stop.
This room is not big, only a small bed, a chair, a small wooden table, and there is a person lying on the bed at the moment.
The man seemed to be sleeping very deeply, and he didn't react until the door was kicked open, and the man in Tsing Yi leaned over the lantern to see the man's appearance clearly.
It was a man in his thirties, with a happy smile on his face, as if he was dreaming of great pleasure.
"Senior Brother Yin Chuan, why can't you wake him up. The woman in white patted the man's face with her bare hands, the movement seemed to be very light, and with a palm, the man's face was already branded with a red handprint.
"Don't scream, he's inhaled an overdose of mirage and he's dead. ”
"Obviously he still has breathing, how can he die. The woman in white didn't understand, she hadn't seen such a strange thing, it was obviously against common sense.
But soon the woman realized that in their line of work, common sense didn't work at all, and many things themselves couldn't be applied with her previous common sense.
"Mirage is a special gas emitted by demons, silent and tasteless, which can unconsciously confuse people's spirits, drag people into dreams, and then imprison people's spirits forever in dreams, unable to extricate themselves, which is tantamount to death. ”
"It's so serious!" the woman in white patted her firm chest, she had just entered the profession of a demon slayer, and many things were not clear, except for her strength, she didn't seem to be of much use.
"It's not incurable, if you can kill the demon who casts the mirage, this kind of imprisonment will naturally disappear, and people can still wake up, but to release such a wide range of mirage, the body of this demon is no longer what we can imagine. ”
Yin Chuan carefully explained that the woman in white was his junior sister, and they had all practiced martial arts in the same martial arts hall, so they were called brothers and sisters.
"As long as you don't overdose on this concentration of mirage, it won't be tricky, but it's colorless and tasteless, and ordinary people can't detect it, so it's very easy to get hit. ”
"Then what should we do, we don't even know where this demon really is, how to hide from it. "The woman in white is in a hurry, the invisible enemy is always the most terrifying.
"Don't worry, you might still have a chance to escape. Yin Chuan comforted softly: "Yunzhou is the territory of the Yun clan, the big demons have been sealed, and they can't escape at all, this mirage should be emitted by the demons unconsciously." ”
Yin Chuan searched in the hut and found a small wooden basin, and then found the owner's fresh water kettle, which contained a lot of clear water.
He poured water into the wooden basin, took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, and asked the woman in white for her handkerchief, and put them in the water to soak.
After soaking, it was handed to the woman in white, and Yin Chuan kept a piece for himself, and used it as a mask to block his mouth and nose under the surprised gaze of the woman in white.
"Mirage is afraid of water, so it can effectively resist mirage, and I hope it will last until we get out of here, and now we need to find a boat to leave as soon as possible. ”
Huge ships are usually tied to small boats, and if you find them, you can leave the place.
"That...."The woman in white wanted to ask, but was stopped by Yin Chuan.
Yin Chuan looked out of the door, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone is coming!"
