Chapter 84 The Water Ghost is the Guardian of the Home
"Bang"!
The bottom of the boat suddenly remembered a thud.
"I'll go!"
Guo Xiaoxiao was so frightened that her neck shrank, and Su Jinyan leaned on her side, grabbing her arm with both hands.
"Sister Susu, what kind of voice is this?"
"Don't be afraid, it's a water ghost."
Su Jinyan patted the back of his little hand and said comfortingly.
"Water ghosts?"
Guo Xiaoxiao was stunned.
"Hmm!"
Su Jinyan said with a calm face.
"It's okay, I just want to say hello."
Hearing this, Humpty Dumpty on the side looked at Su Jinyan and nodded appreciatively.
"It is worthy of being the master of Su University, and he is really well-informed."
And then he said.
"Actually, there are three corpses standing on the bow of the boat, and because of the heavy corpses, this attracted the water ghosts."
Kelpie...... Name implies.
It is said that the bones of the drowned were dragged and their souls floated in the water, and they were very resentful because of the pain before death.
Such a ghost wanted to kill someone very much, and she had seen a family on the news going to visit the grave.
It turned out that a girl was squatting by the reservoir to wash her hands, and somehow slipped down.
After that, the family ran down one after another to save people, even the 10-year-old son.
As a result, the consequences can be imagined, none of the adults and children who went down to save people came up.
In one day, a family of seven died of drowning.
If a normal person sees his relatives submerging into the water one after another, he should be timid and desperately cry for help.
And they ran into the water one after another, which can only be said to be confused.
At this time, there was a soft sound from the wooden boat under his feet, and Guo Xiaoxiao was almost unable to stand.
She looked at Su Jinyan aggrievedly.
"Sister Susu, take them, I'm afraid!"
Tiny can't swim and is afraid of water. When there was such a noise from the bottom of the ship, his face turned pale with fear.
Su Jinyan's phoenix eyes sank slightly, pinched the trick with one hand, and was just about to recite a mantra, but was stopped by Wu Xiaoge.
"Su Da's subordinates are merciful, these water ghosts are for us to take care of the home."
Hearing this, Su Jinyan temporarily stopped his movements and looked at Wu Xiaoge.
"My sister can't swim, the hull of the boat shakes so much that she is scared, if you don't want me to take it, then let them be quiet!"
Wu Xiaoge nodded.
"Okay, just leave it to me to deal with it."
As soon as Wu Xiaoge's voice fell, he raised his foot and stomped on the bow of the boat, and roared in a low voice.
"Get out!"
As if they were afraid of Brother Wu, the mist around their eyes dispersed a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Brother Wu looked at Su Jinyan with a gloomy and wooden expression.
"Today, there is corpse gas and human breath on this boat, which makes these water ghosts a little confused, so they are ready to move.
Don't be afraid for your sisters, they won't dare to capsize the boat. ”
"That's the best!"
Su Jinyan said coldly.
The hull of the ship moved forward slowly, and when the bow of the boat reached the edge of the sinkhole above, Guo Xiaoxiao was startled again.
Frightened, she grabbed Su Jinyan's arm again, knowing that she was about to enter the Famen, Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly closed her eyes.
I felt a gust of mountain wind sweeping across the water, and it still carried a damp smell.
When it is spread on a person's face, it seems that there are still droplets of water hitting the face.
After a few moments, the wooden boat took them through the Fa Gate.
When they entered the Dharma, they did not fall into the sinkhole, but appeared on a wide, flat, shallow river.
"Xiaoxiao, don't be so nervous, open your eyes."
Su Jinyan opened his mouth with a hint of a smile in his tone.
"How did you become so timid today?"
"Where do I have?"
Guo Xiaoxiao protested in a disgruntled voice.
She's not too timid, okay?
It's just that the shadow of her childhood makes her a little afraid of water.
"Stupid you."
Su Jinyan pulled Guo Xiaoxiao's arm and couldn't help but tease.
The scene in front of him made Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes widen.
Not far away, there are stone piers, stone corridors, pontoon bridges, both sides of the river are full of stilted buildings, and on the mountain in the distance, there is a towering wooden military village.
"Miao Wang City?"
She read it right, it must be the legendary Miao Wang City.
Seeing Su Jinyan nodding slightly, Guo Xiaoxiao recovered from the shock.
Every Miao tribe has a Miao king, and Humpty Dumpty and Wu Xiaoge, who claim to be the Heipa clan, think they should belong to the Black Miao.
Black Miao's power has always been the largest, and their Miao King City lives in seclusion from the world, not being spied on by the world.
Follow Humpty Dumpty along the way and walk towards Miao Wang City.
There are all wooden village houses built on the mountain, and there are many walled gates built by taking advantage of the local terrain.
Looking at the cumbersome buildings, it is conceivable that a Miao Wang City is the crystallization of the painstaking efforts of the Miao King in dozens of eras.
And the number of walled gates built symbolizes the power of King Miao and their strength.
Guo Xiaoxiao secretly counted how many gates she had passed, and Wu Xiaoge seemed to see through her thoughts and took the initiative to speak.
"Don't count, there are a total of twenty-seven gates."
When he said this, he was originally gloomy and bleak, and there was a trace of pride in his tone that was difficult to hide.
Standing at the railing of a wooden building and looking at the lights below is very shocking.
The entire Miao Wang City is very large, but the stairs and doorways inside are very narrow.
Guo Xiaoxiao walked very unhappily and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"You guys are so big here, why are the doorways and stairs so narrow inside?"
Wu Xiaoge didn't pay attention to Guo Xiaoxiao, but Su Jinyan gave her a simple explanation
"Come to think of it, this should be the defense system of the fortress."
When the short and fat man heard this, he turned around and smiled.
"Su Da is not only capable, but also extremely smart."
He paused and said.
"That's right, it's designed to prevent someone from attacking or sneaking up."
The architectural style here is very special, just like people's crooked ways.
The doors and roads are not more square than usual, but are deliberately twisted and crooked.
This makes it easier to trip up or get lost in the attacker.
"It's getting late today, our Great Elder has already fallen asleep, and I invite a few distinguished guests to rest here, and tomorrow morning we will welcome a few of us to go up to see the Great Elder."
Humpty Dumpty took Su Jinyan and them to the second-order platform, where there was a row of guest rooms. It's just for you!
The sun rises and the sun sets in the village, and most of the people here live outside to do business?
In such a rapidly developing society, it is rare that there is still a simple living environment here.
The eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law are washing clothes at the water's edge, the old man is feeding the chickens and ducks, and there are people fishing on the water, the scene looks very harmonious, and it is not as eerie and terrifying as imagined.
Next!
Two soldiers wrapped in turbans came over to invite Su Jinyan and them.
"The Great Elder has been waiting up there for a long time, and I hope that your guests will get up and go!"
"Good!"
Su Jinyan nodded, cleaned up briefly, and got up with Guo Xiaoxiao.
