Chapter 157: Underwater Ghosts (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Chapter 157
In fact, Gou Laosi on the side was a little scared when he first started to see the brand on Zhang Chuanshi's back, and then when he heard that this ghost mark could block ghosts, he also wanted something, but he was not a member of the Demon Suppression Division, but he went to the ghost village with everyone to handle the case by coincidence, so he didn't dare to pray out loud.
Seeing that everyone had been answered, he lowered his head in frustration.
"Alright, stop gossiping, the ship is coming."
Zhao Fusheng calmed down the contradictions within the Demon Suppression Division and brought up the matter again.
As soon as she mentioned the word 'boat', everyone looked down and turned their heads to look at the river.
Everyone was fascinated by the ghost mark before, and they forgot that this strange ferry boat was being sent in the direction of Zhuangjia Village by the wind and waves.
I saw that the black boat was pushed by the wind and waves, and docked by the river at this time.
The rolling water was still rapid, but the boat seemed to have dropped a heavy anchor underneath and docked smoothly on the riverbank.
Despite the wind and waves, it still does not move, quietly leaning on the shore and waiting for the guests who are about to board the ship.
From the outside, this ghost ship is old, the hull is mottled, revealing the black rotten wood inside, it looks like it can withstand the wind and waves, and it will fall apart at any time.
At a distance of more than ten feet, the hull of the ship exudes a cold and ominous aura, as if it will bring the guests on board to the place of death.
Strange to say.
Zhang Chuanshi began to feel uneasy about the arrival of this black ship, and there was a kind of fear born from the bottom of his heart, as if this thing would kill him.
But at this time, even if he spent it in his hand, the ghost ship had arrived, but I don't know if it was what Zhao Fusheng said before, and the ghost imprint on his back that had just given him infinite courage, and he was no longer as scared as before.
"My lord, shall we get on board?"
Zhang Chuanshi asked.
Zhao Fusheng looked at the boat and suddenly showed a sly smile:
"The ship is indeed coming for us." After speaking, she glanced at Zhang Chuanshi on the side, her eyes fell on the strange red flower he was holding in his hand, and she secretly thought in her heart: It may be mainly for Zhang Chuanshi.
Zhang Chuanshi was numb by her scalp, and Zhao Fusheng said:
"Let's get on the boat for now, let's go back a distance and see if anything strange happens, and it would be nice if we could lure that awesome ghost out."
With that, she folded her hands around her chest and took a few steps back, pulling more than two feet away from where she had been standing, almost retreating under the slope.
When Fan Wusu and Zhang Chuanshi and others saw her doing this, they also retreated.
The group retreated to the first step of the slope.
As soon as I stood still, I saw the river rolling, and I saw that in the middle of the river in the distance seemed to be a boiling water pot, and countless bubbles turned into strong waves gushing out from the bottom of the water.
As these bubbles poured out from the bottom of the water, a stream of red water like blood was mixed in, as if a huge pool of blood was hidden underground.
The blood was swept into the river with the spray and then diluted, turning the river into a dull yellow and faintly reddish hue, revealing a strange pressure that made people feel creepy.
"My lord, the river is turning red—no, it's getting yellow—"
Fan Wusu glanced at the river and said.
"More than that."
Zhao Fusheng replied calmly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the river:
"Look, the water level of the river is also rising, and it is almost submerging where we were standing."
After she said this, everyone was shocked, looked down, and sure enough, they saw that the water level was rising rapidly at this time.
Under the slope of Zhuangjia Village, the river surface is not completely flat.
Approaching the slope is slightly higher, the river bank is slightly lower, and the water level is about ten zhang away from the slope stairs - this distance has been visually measured by Zhao Fusheng himself.
But with the arrival of the boat, everyone followed Zhao Fusheng all the way back to the slope, the river waves began to change, the water flow became more rapid, and the river seemed to be widening outward, the water level rose, and in an instant, it was submerged to the position where everyone was standing before.
As the water level rose, the black boat that had been docked motionless on the bank of the river also swayed in the direction of everyone with the waves.
Ten zhang distance -
Nine-zhang distance –
……
Five-zhang distance –
The current rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, a wave rolled up again, and it was already able to hit the small staircase dug artificially up the slope.
Zhao Fusheng looked down and saw that the water under his feet was about to rise, and the grass under the stairs was flooded.
As soon as the grass is flooded, it is swept away by the river, and in an instant it turns into a black kelp-like bottom algae, dragging under the water.
"Something isn't right underwater." Zhao Fusheng glanced at the river and said with a serious face.
When everyone heard this, they all leaned over to look, Fan Wuxu even squatted down and looked at it - on a closer look, the branch water flow of the Shangjia River passing through Zhuangjia Village was actually quite clean and clear, but under the water there seemed to be a large number of slender black strands twisted into a clump.
These silk wisps are like living creatures in the water, wriggling with the water flow to drill the kidneys, like a nematode, and the reflection of the water makes the river take on a strange black and red color.
"It's—"
Fan Wusu glanced at it and stretched out his hand to go into the water to fish.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Zhao Fusheng grabbed the clothes on the back of his neck.
After she controlled the ghost, she was infinitely powerful, and when she lifted Fan Wusu up, he still maintained the posture of squatting on the ground and trying to fish for something in the water:
"Fusheng-" Fan Wuxu's legs were bent and hung in the air, his collar was around his neck, and his body shook in a half circle.
Zhao Fusheng was expressionless and put him to the ground:
"You don't want to die?"
“……”
Zhang Chuanshi showed an indescribable look of resentment, glanced at Zhao Fusheng, and seemed to want to speak, but he touched his back with his backhand, and felt a little steady, so he didn't make a sound.
"I'll take a look."
Fan Wusu said in a huff, and secretly looked at Zhang Chuanshi's back when he spoke, with an unconvinced look on his face.
"I don't have the extra strength to fight the ghost and god seal this time, if you are to be pulled into the bottom of the river, you can only set up a mound for you when you turn back." Zhao Fusheng saw the little Jiujiu in his heart, and warned him indifferently.
"I see." Fan Wusu grinned in fright when he heard this, nodded desperately, and didn't dare to make any other ideas.
"Lao Zhang, you pick a thread with a flower and take a look." Zhao Fusheng warned Fan that there was no help, and then turned his head to Zhang Chuanshi to order.
Zhang Chuanshi nodded.
He lost his temper when he took this strange flower, and he couldn't throw it away, as if he was bound to him, and there was something strange in the river at this time, which happened to be poisonous and poisonous, to see if the river was terrible, or the flowers that bloomed on the dead man were more terrible.
Zhang Chuanshi didn't have any pity for the flowers, and plunged into the water with the flowers.
As soon as the petals entered the water, countless black strands of water seemed to be inspired to rush to the flowers.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of strands as thin as cow's hair burrowed into the petals, and when Zhang Chuanshi lifted the flower full of black filament threads again, a large amount of water flowed down the petals.
After those slender strands left the water, they turned into black gas one by one and scattered in the heavens and the earth.
The petals that have absorbed the water light shine like silver dots, and a large amount of black gas lingers around the flowers, presenting an extremely strange feeling.
"Gone?"
Before Zhang Chuanshi turned the flower upside down, he saw that the black filaments wrapped around the flower had disappeared completely.
"It's back in the water."
Zhao Fusheng responded.
Everyone looked down and saw that the bottom of the river had indeed regathered a lot of dense black threads, which were swaying with the swing of the river.
"Let's upload it first." Zhao Fusheng said.
At this moment, the river rose again, and it had already submerged to the first step of the slope, and Zhao Fusheng, who was standing at the bottom, had already felt that the upper of his toe was wet.
And as the river rose, the terrible black boat kept approaching, only about half a foot away from everyone.
When everyone saw the black boat, they were a little stunned in their hearts, and Zhao Fusheng said:
"If you don't get on the boat, the water will keep rising, and we have entered the ghost realm, I'm afraid we won't be able to run."
Her words made everyone's hearts sink down.
Zhang Chuanshi was the calmest of the others, and when he heard this, he said:
"What should come will always come, and you can't hide from it, you can get on it."
"You old boy got cheap and dared to say big things." Fan Wusu complained about him.
Zhang Chuanshi wanted to beat him, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhao Fusheng's serious expression, and knew that this was not the time to fight, so he snorted coldly and kept Fan Wusheng's account in his heart.
The river rose faster and faster, and while a few people were talking, the boat had been pushed to the side of everyone by the waves and docked again.
When they got closer, they looked at the ship again and felt more and more frightened.
The hull is very dilapidated, the surface is corroded by the current, and it may have been immersed in the river for many years, and the hull exudes a feeling of dampness and coldness, as if just getting closer makes people feel a chill from the heart.
"Get on the boat, get on the boat."
Zhao Fusheng beckoned, but he honestly took two steps back:
"Lao Zhang, get on the boat."
“……”
Zhang Chuanshi was also a little stunned, but he thought of the ghost mark on his back, and he was a little confident:
"My lord, is your father and mother spiritual?"
"Don't worry, it's not a problem to save you at least once." Zhao Fusheng said.
"Just, just once?" Zhang Chuanshi's focus was on 'once', and the greedy and stingy side of his temperament prevailed, and he was afraid that he would rashly consume the opportunity to save his life, so he immediately slowly withdrew the foot that was about to take the step.
"Lao Zhang, if you don't leave, I'll squeeze you into the water."
When Fan Wuxu saw his small movements, he couldn't help but scold and threaten him.
"Dog thing, you dare!" Zhang Chuanshi couldn't help but scold him.
But Fan Wusu is a reckless man!
Without the constraints of a calculating brother like Fan Bidying, Fan Wusu wanted to play one out at a time, and there was nothing he didn't dare.
Zhao Fusheng stood by and watched, and did not say anything about Fan Wusheng's words.
She stared at Zhang Chuanshi with a smile, obviously she did not object to Fan Wuxu's proposal.
Zhang Chuanshi figured out her attitude, turned his heart sideways, reached out and grabbed the edge of the black boat, and climbed onto the boat with a curse.
He was still a little panicked when he climbed the boat, but nothing strange happened during this time, and no evil ghosts appeared.
As soon as Zhang Chuanshi got on the boat smoothly, he suddenly turned from surprise to joy, and shouted after sitting down:
"My lord, it's okay."
Seeing that nothing happened to him, Fan Wusu also showed joy and leaned out in the direction of the boat:
"Lao Zhang, pull me."
"Get out!"
Zhang Chuanshi scolded him, stretched out his hand to pat the back of his hand, and then stretched out his hand to Zhao Fusheng, revealing a flattering smile:
"My lord, I'll help you."
Zhao Fusheng did not refuse, and took him on the boat.
The hull of the ship shook violently.
But after the two of them were loaded, the small boat did not overturn and bust, but shook a few times and still floated steadily on the river.
After that, Wu Shaochun and Gou Laosi got on the boat respectively, and by the time Fan Wusu got on the boat, the river had risen to the third layer of the slope ladder.
Zhang Chuanshi still hated this kid for causing him to bear the cause and effect of this ghost case, and refused to help him.
Fan Wusu jumped on the boat, causing the hull to shake wildly, the pushing and squeezing force of the river on both sides came from all around, the fierce water waves splashed into the boat, the boat seemed to be about to overturn at any time, and everyone in the boat grabbed the strings of the boat, let out screams of horror and exchange, and cursed again and again.
Seeing that it had caused public anger, Fan Wuxu shrank his head silently and sat down in the boat.
Zhang Chuanshi showed a smug expression.
Zhao Fusheng ignored the angry scolding of the others, but looked around.
As soon as everyone got on the boat, they saw that the rising river water was rapidly receding, and the current carried the boat to the middle of the river.
She leaned on the edge of the string of the boat and looked out—only to see countless thin and dense black strands of black silk at the bottom of the river wrapping around the hull of the boat, pushing the boat forward.
By the time she looked up, the boat had moved a few feet away from the riverbank, and the slope of Zhuangjia Village in the distance was quickly pulled away, and the village above was shrouded in fog, and only the gray rudiments in the fog could be faintly seen.
"Everybody be careful."
Zhao Fusheng reminded.
The cursed people came to their senses, looked around, and saw that the surrounding was a turbulent river, and the people who were still angry before suddenly looked timid.
Zhang Chuanshi also took away the smug look on his face, and said with a little panic:
"My lord, we didn't row a boat, how did this boat go?"
"There are ghosts in this river."
The ghost case in Kuailiang Village was much more troublesome than Zhao Fusheng had predicted.
Something happened in the villages on both sides of the river.
"The mark of the ghost is that the vest is rotten and the internal organs are water." Zhao Fusheng analyzed the ghost case this time:
"One of them escaped alive from the village in the ghost domain, and left the village as a source of infection, causing disaster to others."
It is possible that the ghost will be revived in the marked person, and the resurrected person may not know that he is dead, until he realizes that he is dead, and his head and body will be separated immediately.
"After separation, the flesh and flesh of the human flesh turns into water, the bones bloom when they meet the water, and the person who picks the flowers has the chance to become another killing law related to evil ghosts."
"The river is yellow, and the ghost boat—"
This time, there were too many elements related to the ghost case in Kuailiang Village, and Zhao Fusheng's heart became more and more vigilant.
Since she was reborn in the Han Dynasty, she has never encountered such a complicated ghost case, and so far there is no way to completely figure out the killing rules of ghosts.
"What now?" Zhang Chuanshi asked anxiously holding the flowers.
Everyone's mood was very heavy.
Now the crisis of everyone is not only the encounter with ghosts, but also the fear of being in the middle of the vast river.
When you enter the water, you can't help yourself.
If the boat capsizes in the middle of the river, the crowd will fall into the river.
If the river water does not mutate, it would be fine, but at this time, there is obviously a problem with this branch of the Shangjia River, after falling into the river, even if people can swim in the water, it is very likely that they will be entangled by those weird black lines at the bottom of the water.
When the time comes, it will be called the heavens and the earth, and the earth will not be spiritual.
"Suppose this ghost case is the revival of the ghost after the death of Zhuang Siniang, she was pushed into the river and drowned, and the river water appeared strange at this time, it should be her resentful anger."
Ghosts have no memory feelings, only instincts.
According to Zhuang Siniang's death, Zhao Fusheng is determined:
"When our boat goes down the river, there will be something weird."
As soon as her voice fell, Zhang Chuanshi suddenly cried and said with a sad face:
"My lord, we—we're probably already in the river."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly lost weightless.
It was as if a huge hole had suddenly appeared at the bottom of the river, and the river water was rapidly descending with the hull of the boat.
The roar of the falling waterfall was heard in his ears, which overshadowed the sharp and piercing screams of several people in the boat during the moment of weightlessness.
'Boom-'
In the sound of the water, everyone was terrified, desperately hugging each other, treating each other as life-saving duckweed.
Zhao Fusheng was also frightened by this sudden fall at first, but she was the first to realize that something was wrong.
After the ghost is revived, the ghost has the ability to create a ghost domain.
In the ghost domain, it is equivalent to the territory of the ghost, and many of the people's perception is blocked, once trapped, unless the ghost domain is forcibly broken by borrowing an external force (ghost power), it is impossible to leave.
Zhao Fusheng believes that a certain power of the ghost domain is equivalent to the influence of spiritual cognition by the evil qi of the powerful ghosts, and at this time, the sudden appearance of a big hole at the bottom of the middle of the river that everyone perceives may not be real, it is very likely to be a hallucination that appeared after everyone was frightened under the influence of the powerful ghosts.
Thinking of this, she suddenly let go of her grip on the strings of the boat, and suddenly slapped Zhang Chuanshi, who was screaming loudly in fright:
"Lao Zhang!"
She shouted.
In fact, she shouted with all her strength without coming out, and the overwhelming river poured into her mouth, and a large number of slender strands of black hair followed the stream into her nostrils, mouth, eyes, and ears.
In the next moment, a large number of ghost spell patterns appeared on Zhao Fusheng's body.
At the same time, Wu Shaochun and Fan Wusu also had ghost patterns on their bodies.
The Demon Suppression Division's Soul Book began to work, but the ghost was thousands of miles away, and this was the home of the powerful ghosts of Kuara Village.
In front of the powerful ghosts of Kuaramura, the power of the ghosts was torn to shreds in an instant.
Countless ghost spell patterns shattered one after another, turning into black qi and dissipating.
But Zhao Fusheng noticed that Zhang Chuanshi was clean, and he seemed to be an exception - I don't know if he was treated favorably by the ghost for special reasons, or because he was spurned by the ghost and lost the protection of the ghost, he did not appear the ghost curse.
Zhao Fusheng guessed that he should not have been attacked by the ghosts.
There's definitely something wrong with that!
Her eyes fell on the demonic dark red flower that Zhang Chuanshi was holding in his hand, and guessed that Zhang Chuanshi was not attacked by the ghost, perhaps because of this flower.
Fortunately, she reacted amazingly, and slapped Zhang Chuanshi the moment she realized that something was wrong.
Her shout didn't come out, but when this slap landed on Zhang Chuanshi's face, he woke up instantly.
Zhang Chuanshi's eyes widened with his eyes closed.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the world changed abruptly.
The cascading waterfall disappeared and was replaced by a quiet and terrifying bottom.
The bottom of the river was unusually dark, and dense endless slender black hair filled the entire bottom of the water.
The smell of rotting fish mixed with the stench of silt at the bottom of the river, and the broken bones and tattered clothes of the dead floated and sank at the bottom of the river, circling the crowd.
As soon as everyone came to their senses, their eyes widened and they scrambled to surface.
But a huge suction force at the bottom of the water sucked everyone in.
Zhao Fusheng looked down and saw that the black boat everyone was riding in earlier was sunk deep in the middle of the river.
The bottom of the boat is connected to everyone's feet, so that the five people in the boat are forced to glue together, forming a huge spectacle unique to the bottom of the river, like a huge humanoid coral tree, sealed in the depths of the river.
If they can't break free, within a few moments, the five will be trapped in the river, accompanied by the surrounding bones.
After Zhang Chuanshi woke up, he saw the situation of several people, and he was immediately frightened.
But when he was frightened, he saw Zhao Fusheng's eyes.
Under the murky river, she did not lose her mind because of the desperate situation.
Her gaze fell on the strange flower in Zhang Chuanshi's hand, and she gestured to him.
Zhang Chuanshi was in a hurry to go to the doctor.
As soon as he saw Zhao Fusheng's gaze, he subconsciously waved the flowers.
He is facing a life-and-death crisis at this time, he has no reason and acts on instinct.
But with this wave, a miracle was born.
I saw that countless black hairs that had originally poured into the seven orifices of Zhao Fusheng and the others seemed to be lured by flowers again, like a swarm of bees and butterflies, gushing out of everyone's facial features one after another, and gathering in the water.
In the blink of an eye, these black lines converge somewhere in the current.
Beneath the dark and terrifying underwater, these black lines come together to form a strangely shaped algae at the bottom of the river.
The black line swam down the water, like an endless end, enclosing the bottom of the water around it.
A horrible dead man's head loomed in the midst of the black hair, exuding a chilling chill.
Zhang Chuanshi was stunned, and at this moment, a pale and bloodless ghost hand suddenly poked out of his black hair.
The ghost's hand was slender, and at a glance, he knew that it was a woman's hand before his death.
It's just that at this time, the hand has lost its human beauty, and with a cold that is enough to freeze people, he reached out to Zhang Chuanshi and grabbed it.
The devil has appeared!
This change came as a surprise.
Everyone was so frightened that the bile flowed backwards, desperately spitting out the last oxygen in their chests.
The ghost hand stretched out towards Zhang Chuanshi, and the target seemed to be the strange ghost flower that was as dark red as residual blood in his hand.
Under the gloomy bottom of the river, everyone was destroyed by the current, but the flowers that bloomed from this human life were not affected, but bloomed more and more brightly.
The flowers are nourished under this filthy and terrifying river, exuding a sweet and fishy scent.
Zhang Chuanshi was terrified when he saw the ghost hand, but when he saw that the ghost hand wanted to snatch his flowers, the miserly and greedy side of his personality actually occupied the fear, and when the ghost hand reached over, he subconsciously turned sideways and let go of the ghost hand's grasp.
“……”
Zhao Fusheng witnessed this scene from the sidelines, and he almost wanted to curse.
"......" The others also widened their eyes, and Fan Wusu also wanted to scold, but the river blocked his mouth, so that he could only kill people with his eyes desperately.
Zhang Chuanshi also regretted it after avoiding the ghost hand.
It's like this, and it's beyond his control.
He was about to hand the flowers out again, but he saw that the devil did not get the flowers the first time, and the black hair that spread wantonly in the water turned into smoke and disappeared under the river.
