Chapter Forty-Eight: The Woman at the Bottom of the Lake
"Xuan Ran!" Lin Dong shouted, Xuan Ran was too late to turn around, the black hair attacked him, and the golden light appeared at the bottom of the lake, and Xuan Ran was about to be absorbed into it.
At the same time, an opposing force pushed Xuan Ran out, Xuan Ran couldn't see who was helping him, only heard a soft and nice female voice telling him to leave quickly.
It was the voice from the golden light, Xuan Ran didn't have time to take a closer look, that force had already sent him out of the water, and Feng Qingmo by the lake was already ready to cast a spell to see that Xuan Ran was unharmed, revealing a trace of surprise.
"There are two forces at the bottom of the lake, I don't know if it was the blood and the grass or the hair that just entangled me, and there was a woman at the bottom of the lake, and she helped me to come ashore. Xuan Ran told the truth what he had seen and heard.
Feng Qingmo's fingertips rubbed on the handle of the fan, and then lightly patted it a few times in the palm of his hand, which was his usual action, and he habitually made these movements as soon as he thought about it.
"Does the Blood Withered Grass take the initiative to attack people, or is there any other harm?" Luo Zhu asked Lindong in a low voice beside him.
Lindong said that he had only seen the dried flowers of blood withered grass in a book, because this kind of flower was very difficult to nourish, and it could not be raised in ordinary shady places, and it had to be watered with blood every day, and it could not see the sun.
Luo Zhu thought of the large patch of blood withered grass just now, and also gasped, such a lush scene was bought by how much blood, which made him even more sure that the things at the bottom of the lake were very dangerous.
That golden light should be a seal, but it seems that this seal can't completely suppress him, so he can only suppress it at the bottom of the lake, and even set up another formation around the lake to prevent him from escaping.
"The spirit at the bottom of this lake looks fierce and abnormal, and even Xuan Ran was almost poisoned, so it's better not to touch it at will. Luo Zhu weighed it.
Feng Qingmo shook his head, "This road is the only way to Yulin City, the seal is unstable, pedestrians will inevitably suffer, if it is used by people with bad intentions or the things at the bottom of the lake are released, the consequences are unimaginable." ”
"And what about another seal?"
"No, I can't. Feng Qingmo interrupted, pointed to the pile of rubble and said, "I checked it, it's a hundred lines array." ”
The Hundred Elements Array, also known as the Sacrificial Array, requires a person who has advanced magic to cultivate immortals to inject his lifelong cultivation into the array, and seal and suppress the evil things with the blood sacrifice array, if it is not for the extremely vicious spirit at the bottom of the lake, it will not be suppressed like this.
"You can't let others touch it. Lay out another phantom array, so that others can't see the lake and the magic circle, and it will be no big problem to open a new path. Luo Zhu came up with a solution.
"The thing at the bottom of this lake is so ferocious, will it break our phantom array? Or if there are other unsuspecting immortals passing by and seeing it, it is not good to be curious and strayed into this phantom array. "Lindong was a little worried.
Feng Qingmo pointed to the lake, "Let's go see what's at the bottom of this lake first!"
The surface of the lake was glowing with a cold light, calm as a pool of stagnant water, and the blood withered grass at the bottom of the lake moved again, growing and spreading until it could not leave the lake.
"This lake... There is no reflection. Lin Dong said suddenly.
Luo Zhu got closer, the bottom of the lake was clear and visible, and none of the reflections on the water surface were visible.
Now it is impossible to venture into the water, Feng Qing took a mirror and put it in the lake, the mirror quickly sank to the bottom of the water, and the blood withered grass entangled the mirror as expected, and the golden light at the bottom of the lake immediately absorbed them together.
Feng Qingmo took out another mirror and brushed it with his hand, the scene at the bottom of the lake immediately appeared, magnifying the mirror, and he could clearly see the scene refracted by the other mirror in the moonlight.
The mirror is full of blood withered grass, the white flowers look beautiful and charming, and the blood withered grass did not taste the blood it wanted, and slowly let go of the mirror, and the mirror flowed into the center of the lake along the lake.
Luo Zhu and Lin Dong screamed in fright at the same time, and what appeared in the mirror was a pale woman's face, with scars on her face, and the position of her two eyes was hollow.
Her hair was long, black and shiny, floating in the water, she tried to distinguish the sound with her ears, her head shook slightly, and suddenly the golden light flashed, she struggled in pain, her expression was very painful, her mouth opened and tried to break free, and when she looked closely, she found that her hands and feet were fixed by hooks.
It was directly through the flesh and skin, and it was hooked through hard, and the other end of the hook was locked, and each iron ring was covered with dense sealing scriptures, and blood kept gushing out from the wound, and she was sealed.
The mirror was too close just now, so it looked a little hideous, and although the woman who was a little farther away had no eyes, her facial features were distinct, and it was not difficult to see that she was a beauty.
The body was a bloody white robe, stained with blood, and the blood coagulated on it and wanted to be a patch of bright red, which looked like a pattern.
The woman is still struggling, every time she struggles, she can't bear to look at it anymore, she doesn't know what evil she has done to experience such retribution, which reminds her all the time of the taste of pain and boundless fear and darkness.
Feng Qingmo lit a candle and threw it down from the lake, the fire did not go out but slowly sank to the bottom of the lake, slowly falling beside the woman.
The woman's image was clearer under the illumination, her face still had blood and tears, and there was a small circular brand on the right side of her face, which had formed a scar and lingered.
"Who are you?" Feng Qingmo asked in the mirror.
The woman at the bottom of the lake heard Feng Qingmo's voice, and struggled even more, and the eyes of the two bloody holes looked even more terrifying, trying to find the source of the sound.
"Are you here to save me? please, save me, please..." The woman cried so hard that a few bloody tears crossed her face, and her voice was sharp and desolate, making people shudder.
She hadn't heard a voice for a long time, she hadn't communicated with anyone, she had stayed at the bottom of the lake until she collapsed, she was in despair.
"No, no, no, don't come here, get out of here quickly, it's dangerous here..."The woman suddenly changed her words, urging them to leave here in a panic, as if she had been frightened.
"Childe, she was the one who just saved me underwater. Xuan Ran heard her voice, she might have been just thinking of herself as a little life that had broken in by mistake at first, but now she was so excited when she heard the voice, no one knew how long she had been imprisoned.
"What did you do?" Feng Qingmo's face was still very normal, and he didn't show any other expressions.
"I'm innocent! I really didn't kill anyone, they don't believe me, you... Kill me, kill me!" cried the woman, her face full of hysterical rage.
"Last question, what's your name?"
"Let's go. The woman's tone softened, and she didn't say anything more, just let them go.
Feng Qingmo brushed away the picture, the mirror was torn apart, and the fire candle at the bottom of the lake was extinguished.
"Let's go. Feng Qingmo turned around and was about to leave, Lin Dong pulled Luo Zhu to follow closely behind him, Luo Zhu glanced back at the lake, and the cold glow was cold, like the mirror just now.
