Chapter 435: Earthbound Spirits
The man sat on the boat, gasping for breath, "I came in with the elder just seven days ago!"
"There are vine monsters over there, and they keep chasing me forward, and I have no way to plunge into the water, but I didn't expect this water to be even weirder!"
Speaking of this, the man's face showed a "human" fear, and he said worriedly: "After jumping into the water, I felt that this thing was as sticky as sesame paste, and no matter how I slid my arm, my body could only sink more and more, and soon I touched the aquatic weeds and mud below!"
"The water is very deep, and the pressure of the water at the bottom is so great that it squeezes my chest like a big stone slab weighing a thousand pounds, and I can't hold it anymore, and I start to gasp for breath!"
"The only thing I could gasp into my lungs was water, and the more I breathed, the more uncomfortable I became, and I felt like I was worse off than dead underwater, and I don't know how long it had been since I caught your boat."
"Senior brother, I'm ...... I thank you so much for saving my life!"
The man stood on the boat panting, and Chen Rulong looked at him with some pity, "Senior brother, I didn't ask you which day you fell into the water, but what year."
"What year? Of course, it's been two thousand and twenty-two years in the hot summer, what do you mean by that, senior brother?"
Looking at the monster-like man in front of him, Chen Rulong moved his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The man was two meters tall, soaked and swollen under water, and he had already appeared as a giant, his face swollen like an inflated ball, and pus was flowing outward from the pores of his body.
In the 222nd year of the hot summer, it was already two years ago.
Chen Rulong probably figured out that the man came here with Elder Jindingshan two years ago, ran to this person from the pursuit of the vines, jumped into the water and drowned.
Because the yin qi under the water is too heavy, the man's soul cannot leave after death, and he has been floating with his physical body for more than two years, and has been immersed in the pain of drowning.
If Chen Rulong hadn't happened to pass by today, he would have sunk in it for tens of millions of years.
Men have become earthbound spirits, and once they leave this place, they will die, and if they don't leave, they will always be immersed in the pain of drowning.
Chen Rulong looked at his pitiful appearance, smiled as much as he could, and said, "Senior brother, I'll take you back with me. I'm rowing in front, and you help me look at the stern."
"Okay."
The man turned around briskly to help defend the stern.
At the moment when the man turned around, Chen Rulong raised the Qingshuang Sword and quickly slashed across his neck.
The huge body slammed into the water with a bang, and the man didn't understand what was going on until he was dying.
The lower half of the corpse had sunk to the surface of the water, but the huge head was still floating stubbornly on it.
In the last few seconds before it died, it regained its clarity, its eyes blinked, staring at Chen Rulong on the boat, as if it understood what was going on.
He opened his mouth wide and said with a hard throat, "Senior brother, thank you...... Thank you. Don't go any further, you'll die."
The voice fell, and the man was completely unconscious, slowly sinking into the water.
Chen Rulong looked at the man who sank into the water, and suddenly felt a sense of panic of sympathy.
In this strange forest, no matter how strong or weak, people can die.
Fu Xi's childlike heart was also a little stunned and said, "Like a dragon, or let's go back." Anyway, Granny Jinhua won't run away even if she stays there, so let's think of a better way to deal with her."
"There's a better way. But...... I don't want to wait!"
Chen Rulong looked resolute and continued to float forward in the boat.
After drifting for about an hour, Chen Rulong estimated that according to his own speed, he had advanced more than ten kilometers, and there was still a foggy area with no end in sight.
Chen Rulong was more and more glad that he had decided to go by boat, otherwise the chances of encountering danger when flying on empty water would be much greater.
"Senior brother, save me!"
"Senior brother, I can't breathe under the water."
"I'm so uncomfortable, save me!"
"Come down and stay with us, we're so uncomfortable, okay
Lonely ......"
"Senior Brother......
The creepy shouts under the water made Chen Rulong's expression gradually solemn.
Grunt grunt –
One after another giant corpses emerged from underwater, and there were thousands of them densely packed together, and they made a noisy sound together, Chen Rulong slashed a few sword lights under the water, and cut through the corpse together with the splash!
The water curtain splashed into the sky, and the stench of the corpse was disgusting, and Chen Rulong couldn't figure out what was under the water, so he didn't dare to attack rashly.
Suddenly, not far away from the underwater light lit up misty, the holy light flew with petals, a lotus platform appeared out of thin air, the dazzling light on it gradually dimmed, Chen Rulong could finally see the Guanyin Bodhisattva wearing white clothes, holding a jade bottle, with a holy smile on his face.
"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-contemplation, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering......
The chanting of scriptures and the sound of Sanskrit overlapped, and the dense corpses under the water slowly rose into the air, gathered into a mass of paths paved with flower petals, and walked towards the direction of the light little by little.
The moment their bodies came into contact with the light, they vanished without a trace.
When all the corpses disappeared, Chen Rulong looked blankly at Guanyin Bodhisattva in front of him.
"This ...... Are there really gods in this world?"
"Of course there are immortals. Merely...... I'm guessing the guy in front of you isn't." Fu Xi's childlike eyes said vigilantly: "There is no divinity in the body of this thing, and there is a very dangerous aura, you must be careful!"
"Understood."
Chen Rulong vigilantly stared at Guanyin Bodhisattva in front of him, "Your Excellency, please give way."
