Chapter 1431: Curse
Three days passed quickly, and in these three days, Lin Chen killed many groups of people who came to hunt him, basically all of them were martial artists, but there were also people who used modern weapons, there were hundreds of people, despite killing so many people, Lin Chen still did not change his face, he did his own thing, and was not affected by the people who were chasing and killing.
After that, Lin Chen didn't find the Heavenly Material and Earth Treasure, and it seemed that the Heavenly Material and Earth Treasure had really all disappeared. Hei Qingshan has also had some in the past, but after all, it is limited, and it is very possible that there is no one, although Lin Chen is a little disappointed, he doesn't feel anything. Anyway, Heiqingshan is just a small place in the Yunchuan area, and there are many places that may have natural treasures.
On this day, facing the brilliance of the morning sun, Lin Chen came to the edge of Heiqing Mountain, and then walked out of the range of Heiqing Mountain, and also stayed away from Black Mountain Town.
Lin Chen thought about it for a while, and decided to go outside Black Mountain Town to have a look, anyway, it didn't make much sense to go back.
As for Ye Qizhen and the others, he hasn't taken it to heart yet, and he will solve it next time.
On this side is another place, there is a vast lake called Blackwater Lake, it seems that the surrounding area is related to black, Black Mountain Town, Black Green Mountain, Blackwater Lake, all have such names.
Blackwater Lake, this is a dangerous place, not only wild beasts, fierce beasts, but also a dangerous environment, underwater whirlpools, flooding many ships.
If the danger level of Heiqing Mountain is level 1, then Heishui Lake is level 2, and there are many fewer warriors who go to Heishui Lake than those who go to Black Mountain Mountain.
Lin Chen also checked some information, knowing that Heishui Lake has been stored for a long time, it is said that it has been stored for thousands of years, and some historical experts speculate that there was a major earthquake here in the past, which caused the earth to sink, and then it was irrigated by rainwater, so that a large lake was formed.
Although Blackwater Lake is dangerous, there are many islands on it. They vary in size, and some islands are even inhabited by people, small families, or forces.
If there is really a treasure of heaven and earth, it can only be on these islands, after all, if it is in the water, Lin Chen will not be able to find it.
Lin Chen didn't expect that Ye Qizhen's people didn't have the courage to enter the mountain, otherwise they would have been killed by him. Lin Chen was not interested in going back to them, since he had come to the edge of the Black Green Mountain, Lin Chen planned to go to the Black Water Lake to find the Heavenly Treasure.
Out of the confines of the Black Green Mountain. In the vicinity of Blackwater Lake there is a pier-like place where various small and medium-sized boats are moored.
"Sir, are you going into the lake?" said a man who looked like a waiter, with triangular eyes and a very shrewd look.
There are still many people in other places who are inquiring, all of them are people who want to enter Blackwater Lake, some from Black Mountain Town, and some from other places.
"You offer boat rentals here?" Lin Chen only came over when he saw the billboard. If he wants to enter the lake, he has to rely on a boat, and he has no great supernatural powers before, so he can only find a boat to cross the lake like an ordinary person.
"Yes sir. 10,000 for small boats, 100,000 for medium-sized boats, and 100,000 for large ships......" The waiter introduced the price of the boat to Lin Chen, and stayed for Lin Chen as he spoke. Go and see those different ships.
"It's so expensive, it's just a lake. Lin Chen was strange.
The waiter smiled, accustomed to it. He explained: "Sir, do you know that Blackwater Lake is very dangerous, we only provide boats, not any other services, which is equivalent to selling directly to you, which is why the price is so expensive." However, if it comes out, the ship still needs to be returned to us. ”
Lin Chen then said directly: "Okay, bring me a small boat." ”
The waiter didn't say anything, but there was obviously some contempt in his eyes, thinking that he was a big customer, but he didn't expect to just rent a small boat, but he didn't come out, at least ordinary people would never see it. But Lin Chen is an exception.
"Okay, please sir wait. ”
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Chen left in a small boat and entered the Black Water Lake.
Like him, there are many people who enter the lake by boat, and some people buy a large boat, and the mighty entry into the lake is very spectacular.
Lin Chen felt that they were a little stupid, there were powerful water beasts in the Black Water Lake, a big boat did not necessarily mean that there was no danger, and it was easier to become a target if there were many people.
The lake is sparkling, and at a glance, there is a line between water and sky.
It had already passed the first outer circle area of the Black Water Lake, and it didn't take long for Lin Chen to sense that a water beast was approaching under the lake, and his expression suddenly moved.
Suddenly, a giant anaconda broke out of the water and set off a big wave, the big wave slapped the boat, and the boat shook endlessly, but Lin Chen did not move.
The anaconda shot straight at Lin Chen, opening its hideous snake mouth.
The knife in Lin Chen's hand had already been thrown away, and there was only a backpack behind his body, where some money and tools were placed. But even if he didn't have a knife, it would be easy for him to deal with a water beast.
When the anaconda bit it, Lin Chen didn't dodge or dodge, he slashed at the anaconda, and slashed the head of the anaconda with a knife, and immediately blood splashed everywhere, and the anaconda screamed and fell into the lake.
This is just a small episode.
After that, Lin Chen encountered a large number of strange fish and jumped out of the lake to bite him, but they were all ordinary water beasts, so Lin Chen couldn't help it.
Half a day passed, and Lin Chen saw a large and lush island on the boat, which should be the largest island nearby.
Lin Chen walked in a place where few people came, and he didn't see anyone else here except him.
The island in front of you is round, and there are many winding roads on the island, and in the center of the road you can see some buildings, both ancient and modern.
The boat docked, there was a special person to manage it, Lin Chen came to a winding mountain road, where there were five people guarding there, and when they saw Lin Chen, they all had a strange look.
"Who are you, what are you doing in Blackwater Lake?" one of them asked, looking Lin Chen up and down.
"Well, I'm actually here for a tour. Lin Chen said.
"Travel?" one of them said suspiciously.
Lin Chen nodded.
"Don't you know that Blackwater Lake is very dangerous? Dare to come alone, there is a place to rest on the island, you can go up by yourself." They didn't say anything, just looked at them strangely.
Lin Chen felt a little strange in his heart, but he knew more about Heishui Lake, and it was better to go to the island and ask people.
The winding mountain road wraps around a ring and extends into the island, where you can see small peaks towering.
There were small towns on the island, and Lin Chen came to one of them.
For the small town, Lin Chen was a stranger, and someone saw Lin Chen. actually dodged away, as if he didn't want to provoke.
Lin Chen felt strange in his heart.
"You're from outside, right?" An old man in the town saw Lin Chen and walked over slowly, not avoiding like the others.
"Old man, I am indeed from outside, can I ask you about the situation on the island?" Lin Chen's heart moved, and he asked the old man.
This old man is an old naughty boy, and his tone of voice is inexplicably joyful.
"What do you want to ask?" the old man had already prepared, a little triumphant.
"Old man, you can tell me about the situation on the island. ”
The old man seemed a little bored. Did he meet an outsider and start nagging, and he was like a child, and he danced when he talked about the excitement, "Our small island is on the periphery of Heishui, called Sanshan Island, and there are not many people who usually come, do you meet one...... There are four small towns on the island, and this one is Fangjia Town...... If there is anything special about our town. It's just a curse, and hehe, too, has something to do with you outsiders. ”
The old man was rambling for a moment, and then spoke of the curse of the town.
"Curse?" Lin Chen frowned, cursing was something to do with gods and gods. It is generally a rumor, Lin Chen knows the situation in this world, and knows that there are basically no gods and monsters, so it is impossible to have a curse.
However, Lin Chen looked at the old man's appearance. It doesn't seem like ......
The old man continued to ramble, as if he didn't think there was any secret, and said, "Our town. There are quite a few outsiders who have come here, not a thousand or eight hundred in the past few decades, but most of them have died unexpectedly, that is, they have been cursed, they have died miserably, and there are all kinds of ways to die, let me tell you......"
"Hehe, this curse is so powerful. Lin Chen said lightly.
The old man looked excited, and continued, "These curses are for outsiders, and they have nothing to do with the people of the town. When outsiders come to our town, some will suddenly have a catastrophe, some will go crazy, as if they have fallen into evil spirits, and some will die in Blackwater Lake after leaving the town. ”
Lao Tu suddenly looked at Lin Chen, and smiled a little madly: "I don't know what will happen to you, will you also be cursed." ”
"I'm sure I'm not going to die, old man, don't worry. Lin Chen smiled.
"Young man, if I were to leave this island of three waters, never come. The old man suddenly admonished sternly, and after a long time, he suddenly became serious, like a sudden storm.
"Old man, you haven't told me what the hell is going on with that curse, it can't be that the curse came for no reason. Lin Chen asked.
"Maybe it was hundreds of years ago, when curses were only occasional on the island, and in recent decades they have often happened to outsiders. ”
Hearing this, Lin Chen's question has not yet been resolved.
"Why did it exist hundreds of years ago, is it related to the small town?"
The old man continued, "This matter has to start with the history of the town hundreds of years ago, when Fangjia Town was not called Fangjia Town, but only Sanshui Town, and in terms of history, it was the oldest of several small towns on the island. One day, suddenly a young man came to the town, and the next day he died violently, some people said that it was the curse of the Blackwater Lake, so he died tragically, and some people said that he was poisoned, and then several people in the town died violently, and the way of death was the same as that stranger, and then the curse was passed down, and it has been passed down until now. ”
"It's really possible that he was poisoned by some kind of poison in the Blackwater Lake. Lin Chen guessed.
"Then why don't you leave the island?"
The old man glanced at him, "You think we haven't thought about it, it's useless to leave, and in the end it's a bad accident outside, it doesn't matter if you're not in the town, but in recent decades, it's all outsiders who have been cursed, and the town is safe and sound, so many people don't want to leave." ”
"Hehe, it's kind of interesting. ”
After chatting with the old man, Lin Chen found a small hotel in the town to stay, and then continued to inquire about the situation in other places.
Lin Chen's purpose was still to find the Heavenly Material and Earth Treasure, and he was not very interested in the power of the curse, so he also asked about the news of the Heavenly Material and Earth Treasure.
Lin Chen, an outsider, appeared in the field of vision of more people.
"Another out-of-towner. ”
"You say how this man will die, I guess he will die outside. ”
"These outsiders want to come in to find treasures, and they are all foolish and dreamy, and they are cheaper than others. ”
"How much money did you think he had with him?"
"I'm just carrying a bag, I don't have any money, and we can't get a card. ”
A few angry young people talked unscrupulously, unaware that what they and the others said was in Lin Chen's ears.
"It seems that it is true that outsiders have died here not once or twice. ”
Lin Chen noticed that someone was beating his idea, and he didn't feel cold. For such people, he has never been stingy with ruthless methods. I just wish they were smarter.
However, he clearly overestimated the IQ of these people.
Lin Chen didn't take a few steps before he was stopped, and it was the young people who were talking unscrupulously who stopped him, a total of four people.
"Boy, I heard that you are new here, buddy has been looking for people like you for a long time. One person said, looking at Lin Chen unscrupulously.
Lin Chen didn't look at them squarely, "Something?"
"Boy, it's very kind, I don't know this is our territory?" the other sneered.
"If you have something to say, a good dog won't get in the way!" Lin Chen glanced at him calmly.
It seemed that he was annoyed and angry by Lin Chen's eyes. The man was about to fight, but was stopped by the others.
The person who spoke first looked at Lin Chen, as if he wanted to see him through, "It seems that you have no fear, you are a practitioner." The brothers don't mean anything else, they just want to get you some money to spend, and they won't need it in the future. ”
Lin Chen felt that this person was looking at him as if he was looking at a dead person, and remembered the curse that the old man said.
"What's on you that deserves me to give you money to spend?" Lin Chen seemed to smile, his gaze saw through all of them.
"Boy. You're almost a dead man, and you're waiting to be buried before you spend money. One sneered ill-intentionedly.
The others also looked like they were looking at the dead.
"You're talking about a curse, I don't mind. It just so happens that a few of you should be quite familiar with this town, so I just want to use it as a guide. Lin Chen's face was expressionless. decided their fate on the spot,
"Boy, you're looking for death!" One of them immediately became furious, moved towards Lin Chen, and punched him.
Such a fist. It's like a mosquito playing in front of an elephant.
Lin Chen flicked his fingers, and the sound of a snapping was particularly loud, and the person who did it immediately squatted down with his fists covered. Screams of pain.
"You dare to do it?!" The others immediately followed suit when they saw this scene.
Lin Chen didn't bother to talk nonsense, his body flashed a few times, and the other three all fell down, either with broken hands or broken feet, with a look of horror and horror.
"Don't even think about running away, tell me about the situation in the town, and you will answer whatever I ask. ”
"Boy, you dare to offend us, we are from the Stone Gang. One threatened with the pain in his hand.
Lin Chen laughed out loud, "Bullshit Stone Gang." If you don't want to die, just be obedient. ”
"Or do you want to see me kill someone before you get acquainted!"
The four of them immediately felt a murderous aura, and they all shuddered, the four of them didn't quite understand what was going on, but they panicked for no reason, feeling that Lin Chen could definitely do what he said.
"What do you want to ask?"
"That's right, it saves me a lot of trouble. Lin Chen nodded.
Since then, there have been a few more people behind Lin Chen, helping him run errands to inquire about the news, these four people are well-known gangsters in the town, well-informed, otherwise they would not immediately know that Lin Chen appeared in the town.
"Lord Chen, the treasure you are looking for, there should be one in our village, I have inquired clearly, but it is just a legend. Humba whispered respectfully.
Hongba was the leader of that small group of four, and now he completely succumbed to Lin Chen's strong suppression.
"What legend?" Lin Chen asked.
"There is a well in the town, and legend has it that it leads to the Black Water Lake, and there is a treasure at the bottom of the well, and many people have seen the well glow. ”
"Where is that well now?"
"It's in the center of the town, it's a tourist attraction, and to be honest, although there are few people from outside of town, there are still some of them, and they all go to the well. Humba said flatteringly.
"Then let's go check it out. ”
Lin Chen asked Hongba to lead the way, and asked the other three to continue to inquire, and if they didn't inquire, they would go to other towns.
Several small towns on Sanshui Island are not as big as Montenegro, but they are actually several times larger.
After calling a car, Lin Chen and Hongba went to the center of the town, a place called Zhenzhong District.
Others could see at a glance that Lin Chen was from out of town, and there was curiosity in their eyes, and Lin Chen could even sense pity.
"Lord Chen, you know about the curse, but you only know one thing. I don't know the other two. Humba looked visibly hesitant for a moment, and then said.
"You say it, come and hear it. For this, Lin Chen also sensed it.
"When outsiders come, they will be cursed, but they will not necessarily die in the town, they may die after leaving the town, and if they die in the town, the things of these dead people will be taken by some of the mayor. ”
"Do you want to take it for yourself? Lin Chen pondered.
"Lord Chen, you're right, you just take it for yourself, this group of people is really not a thing. So many people who died, and all the good things were taken by them. Humba looked indignant.
"That means if I die here, they'll take my stuff too. Lin Chen asked lightly.
"I don't dare to take your things. Humba hurriedly corrected.
"What else?"
"Actually, some people didn't die from the curse, I heard that they were killed. Hong Ba looked at Lin Chen's eyes carefully.
"What else?"
"There are a few other towns that seem to have a part. ”
"Is this curse mainly in your town, or is it shared in other towns, as far as I know, it's mainly your town, right?"
"The curse is actually shared by the whole island, and similar situations are happening in other towns. Some people say that the entire island of Sanshui is cursed, and the people who live on it are cursed. ”
"Then do you think you're cursed?" Lin Chen glanced at Hongba.
In fact, Lin Chen had sensed it with his soul power, but he had not sensed strange powers from the people in the town.
Or maybe its soul power isn't strong enough. Not inducible.
Hongba didn't care about Xiaoxiao, "I don't think it's anything, nothing strange has happened since I was a child." ”
"Is there anything unusual in front of the person who received the curse to die? ”
Humba shook his head. "I don't know. ”
"Forget it, I don't care about the curse. Lin Chen said lightly.
Fifteen minutes later, the two came to Zhenzhong District. The well that Humba said was in an old house, and there were special people in it who watched the old house.
"Uncle Lin, I'll take someone to take a look at the old well. Humba said to the old man who was guarding the old house.
The old man looked very old, glanced at Hong Ba and Lin Chen, and said slowly: "Oh, outsiders." Another one who came to see the old well, go, go. ”
Lin Chen's attention was partly on the old man, and he found that this old man was strong and healthy, not an ordinary townsman, at least he had practiced martial arts.
When the old man looked at Lin Chen, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he happened to be seen by Lin Chen.
An old dry well, nothing unusual, it seems to have gone through a long time, the traces are mottled, and the soul power of the early morning sensed it, and there was nothing abnormal.
The water in the well is dry, and when you look at it, it is bottomless, very dark, and very deep.
"This well is very deep?" Lin Chen asked.
"At least 100 meters. Humba replied honestly.
"Hundred-meter old well, is there anything here that can go down?" Lin Chen asked him.
"Yes, there used to be people who went down, but they didn't go down to the end, and they didn't dare to go down, and when they got down, someone heard strange and strange sounds. Humba thought for a moment and said.
"It's kind of interesting. ”
Lin Chen said again: "Go and take down the rope, you go down with me." ”
"No, no, no, don't let me go down, I don't dare!" Humba immediately panicked.
Lin Chen just looked at him calmly, "You have no other choice. ”
"No, it's going to die. Humba was full of reluctance.
Lin Chen said lightly: "Then do you think it's better to die now, or to die later?"
Hong Ba immediately froze, and from Lin Chen's words, he heard a strong smell of threat.
Humba went to prepare the tools with a completely sad face.
Lin Chen also considered that there might be danger outside, and he also brought a set of tools, if the rope to go down was broken, he could use the tools to go up by himself.
Two ropes went down from the mouth of the well, Lin Chen let Hongba in front, until fifty meters, it was very calm, slowly going deeper, Lin Chen really heard a sound, from the depths of the well, like a whimper, Lin Chen didn't think it was a ghost.
Perhaps it was because the bottom of the well led to a certain part of the black water lake, and the wind blew in, which caused this sound.
The further down he went, the louder the sound became, and as far as Lin Chen could tell, the dry well was far more than 100 meters, at least 300 meters, and it could be even deeper.
"Let's go up, and we'll check it out next time. ”
Hong Ba was already so frightened that he grabbed the rope and trembled, and when he heard Lin Chen's words, he seemed to hear the sound of heaven, and shouted happily. (To be continued......)
