Chapter 15: The Altar in the Water
What the two didn't expect was that the river was very deep, and they couldn't see the bottom, and the deeper they went downstream, when the two surfaced again, they found that there were no houses on both sides of the riverbank, let alone people, and it seemed to be a big lake in front of them, and all the water gathered here and stopped.
The two glanced at each other, took a sharp breath again and dived down, this time it was different from before, this time they planned to dive down, and occasionally some water monkeys seemed to have fainted, and the two of them took a lot of time, and sure enough, they looked like monkeys.
A little further down the two saw a red dot, it was the other side, she was in a big blister, standing in the blister unscathed, the two tacitly sped up the speed, the other side looked back and saw the two of them a little surprised, but soon she was a little moved by that, these two people came to find themselves, she laughed, she was about to open her mouth, a mouthful of water poured into her mouth, the other side saw this and raised her little hand to the two, two big blisters wrapped the two of them.
After running out of water, the two fire spirit snakes became more lively, and after a while, the clothes of the two were dried by the fire spirit snakes.
"You're okay on the other side. ”
She didn't know if she could hear it in the water, but she still asked, the other side shook her head, and instructed the two to look down, and the two of them found that there was actually a huge stone plate in the water under their feet, and the whole stone plate was a Taiji diagram, and the yin and yang fish on it were really carved of two huge fish, and the strange thing was that generally speaking, there was a lot of silt on the riverbank, but the stone plate seemed to have been cleaned.
There are a total of twelve stone pillars around the stone plate, and the stone pillars are carved with dragons of various forms, and when I look down, I find that there are people at the bottom of the stone pillars, to be precise, corpses, and tied with arm-thick iron chains, looking at the clothes, it should be those who have just disappeared on the boat, and they are completely helpless, and there is no corpse under only one pillar of the twelve pillars, although I don't know what this means, but a few people have a very uncomfortable feeling from the moment they arrive in this water.
She could feel that she was staring at countless pairs of eyes, and the fire spirit snake also looked around vigilantly, something swam over, and a few people looked at the place where the sound of water came from, there was a water ghost who was dragging a white and swollen corpse swimming over, and the water ghost was startled when it saw a few people, and then casually bypassed them and dragged the corpse towards the pillar without a corpse.
At the same time that the water ghost fixed the corpse with iron chains, the surrounding waters began to stir, and the twelve pillars seemed to become more motivated because of the twelve corpses, and with the screams, she saw that the souls of the twelve corpses were sucked into the pillars, and the screams were emitted by those souls, and the dragon on the stone pillar seemed to begin to move.
As their voices grew louder and louder, several people had a splitting headache, as if their souls were about to rush out of their bodies, and things kept appearing on the water, and those things fluttered and flickered, and as soon as they appeared, they were sucked into the mouths of the winding dragons carved on the stone pillars.
The yin and yang fish below turned in one direction for a while and suddenly had the meaning of separating, and Leng Xi called:
"Oh no, this is an altar, and those water ghosts are taking the opportunity to catch the little ghosts to raise the things underneath. ”
At this time, she found that the yin and yang fish had separated a slit, and from that slit it was black and swarthy, and she could vaguely see something red.
As soon as that thing appeared, the two fire spirit snakes became a little excited, and Silk could feel the urge to go down immediately.
"Interrupt them, or the town will suffer if that thing comes out!"
Hearing this, she didn't care about the headache caused by the chanting of those water ghosts and rushed towards the group of water ghosts, and those water ghosts grinned a little after showing the thoughts of several people, but most of the water ghosts continued to sing, and the stone dragons on the twelve stone pillars were also constantly absorbing their souls.
Leng Xi and Ji Si kept chasing those water ghosts with swords in their hands, and a small explosion occurred around the fingers of the other side to twist out a magic stone plate, some of the water ghosts were stunned because of this, and the other part rushed towards the three of them, the number of water monkeys was large, and each time the fire spirit snake could only entangle one or two, fortunately, every time the water ghosts entangled by them would have no power to resist after a while, because their souls had been devoured by the fire spirit snake.
The stone plate was still parting outside, and originally several people had no intention of hurting the lives of these water ghosts, but the nails of those water ghosts were as sharp as knives, and they had no intention of letting a few people go at all, and after a while, the two of them were injured.
Eventually, she plunged her sword into an old water ghost with gray hair, and blood spread everywhere.
"Click", the stone plate stopped, not because of the death of the white-haired water ghost, but because the two yin and yang fish were completely separated, and a few people saw that there was an iron chain under each of the twelve stone pillars, and there were screams from the iron chain, and those souls went from the dragon's mouth to the iron chain, and finally those iron chains were connected in the middle to hold up the red coffin, which was the red that the silk vaguely saw at the beginning.
The two fire spirit snakes had already swam over, each wrapped around a bead, staring at the red coffin, and the fire spirit snake stretched out the snake letter and licked its lips.
There was a sound coming from inside the coffin, and something was hitting the coffin from the inside, so much so that the coffin began to vibrate.
"Let's go!"
With Leng Xi's cry, Sisi and the other side swam after him towards the water, and when she was about to go ashore, she glanced back, and the coffin was pushed open a little, and a dry hand with long nails stretched out from inside.
Seeing that the silk was gone, the two fire spirit snakes also followed, and the three of them just climbed ashore and felt the vibration of the ground, the water exploded, and there was a white-haired old man who broke out of the water, but his body kept bubbling black gas, and occasionally he could see the hideous faces of those who wanted to run outside but were pulled back by something.
"Where did anyone dare to slaughter my children? ”
After the water splashed, a few people saw the appearance of the white-bearded old man clearly, wearing a black dress embroidered with gossip pictures on the front and back, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see the black part of the gossip map, the old man's face is covered with unusually deep wrinkles, a face looks very much like those water ghosts, it is simply a water ghost with clothes, but the white beard and white hair are like people, and the white hair is also tied up.
He just said that he would slaughter his descendants, and it seems that he is indeed the ancestor of those water monkeys.
Leng Xi's expression was a little serious when he saw the gossip on the white-bearded old man, this person actually used Taoist spells to devour souls and resurrect himself.
"You are a water ghost, why do you understand my Taoist spells, and you still lay such a vicious altar under this waterhole. ”
The white-haired old man looked at the trio with contempt:
