Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Eerie Lotus Pond in the Western Suburbs
The quiet and gloomy countryside was not softened by the bright moonlight, but set off the misty trees, as if hanging with countless white ghosts, which made people panic.
A gust of cold wind blew, Si Luoying couldn't help but shiver, Mu Yunche glanced at Si Luoying, and asked casually, "Aren't you afraid of water?"
Since she was pushed off the fish pond at the age of five, Si Luoying has been very afraid of water, and even in the bath, the water must not go over her chest.
Si Luoying didn't answer, but asked Mu Yunche rhetorically, "Why do you hate me?"
Mu Yunche stared at Si Luoying for a long time before saying, "I'm as strict with you as everyone else, no exception. Just do what you are told, do business, and don't mix any personal feelings!"
Si Luoying didn't believe Mu Yunche's nonsense, all these years, she had been miserable by Mu Yunche, and disagreed: "You say this, you are really worthy of your conscience." ”
"It's not as strict with others as it is with you, because of the special explanation of Lord Hades!"
Hearing that she was really treated specially, Si Luoying pouted and said, "Just because I'm stupid, my cultivation is slow?"
Mu Yunche didn't answer, and Si Luoying was silent, the air seemed to be slowly solidifying, which was a little breathless!
After a long while, Mu Yunche sighed, smiled and stretched out his hand to flick Si Luoying's head and said, "Be strict with you, it's for your good, you little thing who doesn't know what to do." Later, you will understand the good intentions of Lord Hades. ”
Si Luoying covered her head and said angrily: "I am very grateful to Lord Hades for his good intentions. Okay, right?"
Originally, Si Luoying also wanted Mu Yunche to take less special care of her in the future and spend more time on others. But he was worried that Mu Yunche's character would be more and more tormented in the future, so he swallowed the latter words into his stomach.
Mu Yunche smiled, his eyes fell to the darkness in front of him, and suddenly asked Si Luoying without a head: "Do you think that with your strength of the third level of Qi Gathering, you can destroy the ghosts of the Wild Lotus Pond and successfully complete the task?"
Si Luoying snorted coldly and said: "Where are there ghosts in this world, only people have bad intentions!"
After speaking, he glanced at Mu Yunche intentionally or unintentionally.
Mu Yunche smiled again, did not speak, and the two continued to move forward silently, the figure of the moonlight hitting the ground was like a mule dragging a heavy load at two ends and about to break its back.
Soon, the two walked up a slope to an open area and stopped.
In a gray mist not far away, a dark green can be faintly seen, mixed with dots of bleak powder!
Si Luoying woke up the sleepy gulf lying on her shoulder and said, "Little one, don't sleep, wake up to the place." ”
The cormorant woke up suddenly, and after seeing the ghostly wild lotus pond looming in the moonlight in front of him, he immediately nervously grabbed Si Luoying's hair and said, "What kind of ghost is this, there are ghosts at a glance." ”
Si Luoying took a few steps forward, staring at the wild lotus pond in front of her that seemed to have been eroded by ink.
The wild lotus pond at night is silent, you can't hear the sound of frogs, and you can't see the beauty of lotus leaves and lotus flowers complementing each other. There was only darkness, full of mystery, exuding an unpredictable and rich dangerous aura, and it was so quiet that it was terrifying!
"Sakura-chan, this wild lotus pond is so weird, there is definitely something wrong. Lord kindly advises you that it is best not to go into the water casually. ”
Si Luoying, who already had a shadow in her heart about the pond, felt that every capillary on her body was chilling out at this time, and a few cold sweats the size of soybean grains oozed from her forehead.
Mu Yunche looked at Si Luoying, who was nervous, and also persuaded: "Give up, don't force yourself." ”
Si Luoying didn't know what giving up was, and every day she lived in Hades' Mansion since she could remember, she was forcing herself to be brave and strong to face all the hardships.
Therefore, before Mu Yunche's words fell, Si Luoying had already jumped into the wild lotus pond with a "plop", and slowly waded towards a sleeping lotus floating on the water in the distance.
The icy pool water, like a cold water snake, kept sliding over Si Luoying's body.
Si Luoying felt the cold air in the lotus pond, like a strand of hair, along the pores, wisps into her body, making her tremble endlessly.
And the cold air gushing out of her heart made her fear unhidden, and the nightmare of the five-year-old was like a black hole, which was devouring her body little by little.
Si Luoying was in the cold and gloomy wild lotus pond, her body gradually became numb, she lost consciousness, her consciousness became more and more blurred, and her footsteps stopped unconsciously.
The cormorant sitting on Si Luo Sakura's shoulder, as if his soul had been sucked out of his soul by something, fell drowsy again, and almost fell off Si Luo Sakura's shoulder.
Mu Yunche's face was solemn and looked like a stone statue, and Si Luoying, who was standing motionless in the wild lotus pond, couldn't help frowning.
At this time, he saw the central position of the wild lotus pond, and a rush of black air slowly rose, and he couldn't help but sigh, and then shouted at Si Luoying: "Pig head, don't sleep, wake up and hurry up to do the task." ”
Si Luoying was awakened by Mu Yunche's loud shouting, and found that she had fallen asleep in the wild lotus pond, and hurriedly continued to wade into the depths of the lotus pond.
The cormorant, which was also awakened, almost fell into the water, but before it could sit down, a gust of wind blew, which suddenly made it cold all over its body, and it couldn't help but say to Si Luoying: "Sakura-chan, send me back to the shore quickly." The foul-mouthed guy was right, something wasn't quite right here. ”
Si Luoying ignored the eagle, gritted her teeth that were trembling from the cold, and moved the lotus leaves on the water with both hands, and continued to walk deep into the lotus pond.
"Sakurako-chan, are you deaf, didn't you hear that you were going ashore?"
Si Luoying also felt that something was wrong with the wild lotus pond, and the water in the pond that flooded half of her body was obviously much colder than just now, as cold as a frozen lake in winter.
But at this point, of course, she would not back down easily, let the cormorant be less verbose, she picked the lotus flower and went back immediately.
At this time, Mu Yunche, who was standing on the shore, seemed to have an itchy mouth, and shouted at Si Luoying, who was about to walk to the middle of the lotus pond: "Be careful, don't be killed by evil ghosts, I won't collect your body!"
Si Luoying finally couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded Mu Yunche on the shore simply and rudely: "Get out, shut up." ”
Mu Yunche smiled and sighed: "I'm kind, why don't you appreciate it at all, it's really kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”
Si Luoying was fed up with Mu Yunche with a vicious mouth, no longer paying attention to what he said, enduring the ink-like foul smell of the pool water, and concentrating on touching a lotus not far away.
It's just that the terrifying pool water is like soaking countless stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and the taste is so choking that Si Luoying keeps crying, and she is about to vomit.
