Chapter 1297: But bamboos make boats

Views:

"What kind of bamboo, I have no knowledge at all! Well, I will seal the power of these green bamboos first, and then you will carefully unleash these green bamboos, and then they will be of great use." Ghost Witch sneered and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure emerged, and he spewed out a puff of gray smoke from his mouth, covering the clump of green bamboos.

As soon as the smoke touched the green bamboo, it immediately sank into it quickly, and gray lines appeared on the green bamboo, like a seal.

Han Li saw this scene, his eyes flashed, and he waved his hands.

Two crescent-shaped golden lights shot out from his palm, quickly dug on the ground, dug out this clump of green bamboos together with the surrounding soil, and put them into the flower branch space.

"I made you laugh. This green bamboo is very useful to me, so I turned a little bit off the road. I hope you don't blame me." Han Li turned and said to Shi Chuankong and the others.

"It's okay, but Fellow Daoist Han, who is this?" Shi Chuankong waved his hand and looked at the ghost witch.

"This is fellow ghost witch, a remnant soul I saved on the road." The ghost witch has a special status. Although Han Li has a good relationship with Shi Chuankong, he didn't say much.

"It turns out to be a fellow ghost, witch and Taoist. It's a pleasure to meet you." Shi Chuankong bowed his hands.

The ghost witch glanced at Shi Chuankong, nodded, and flew back to the black box.

Collecting these green bamboos was just a small episode, and they quickly continued to set off.

With Han Li as the guardian, and Tiao Hun, a person who specializes in restraining ghosts, the group's next journey is quite smooth.

After more than a month of flying, Han Li and his party fled all the way, finally got out of the Forest of Hundred Ghosts, and finally came to a vast gray wasteland.

"How far is it from Huangquan Daze?" Han Li looked into the distance and asked.

"It's here, it's here. If you look far away, you should be able to see a red area, and that's it." Hearing the words, the ghost witch quickly replied.

Han Li's pupils shrank, and at the end of his field of vision, he could indeed see a layer of red aura rising up like water vapor, covering a large area.

Seeing this situation, he greeted and rushed away first.

Zi Ling and the others hurriedly followed and flew over.

There is an indescribable unique smell in the void, which makes people feel a sense of suffocation. The closer they are to the other side, the stronger this feeling is.

When they came to the front, Han Li and the others saw a huge lake with incomparable waters in front of them.

The lake is as wide as the ocean, and you can't see the edge at first glance. The water surface near the shore is as smooth as a mirror, and you can't even see a ripple or wave on it.

But as the line of sight moves away, a thick cloud of blood can be seen accumulating down in the sky in the middle of the lake, bordering the chaotic clouds below, forming a huge chaotic area.

In the north direction of the dark red lake, there seemed to be a hole in the sky, and a blood-colored waterfall flowed out of it, like a red horse hanging from the sky.

The waterfall seems to be ferocious and bloody, but when it hits the lake, its momentum disappears, like a feather falling into the water, silently, which is very strange.

At intervals along the shore of the lake, a stone castle building over a hundred feet high was built. The whole body was dark red, and there were huge banners with strange totems drawn on it. Some were shaped like bull heads, and some were like horse faces. Not quite the same.

"There... is the place where the four major ghost clans are stationed." The ghost witch's voice sounded.

With a thought in Han Li's mind, his consciousness was instantly released, and he explored the dark red stone castles.

After checking, he frowned and looked at Crying Soul, who also shook his head at him.

"It's empty." Han Li announced to the others.

"Look, you should believe me now, right?" Ghost Witch said.

"Since the four major ghost clans no longer have troops stationed here, we will save a lot of trouble. Tell me, where is the Six Paths of Reincarnation now?" Han Li said.

There was a glint of light at his waistband, and the remnant soul of the ghost and witch drifted out like smoke. He pointed to the center of the lake and said:

"It's right in the center of the Daze."

Han Li looked at the chaotic blood cloud in the middle of the great lake, his face sank slightly, and asked:

"Didn't you say before that the six paths of reincarnation disk is by the lake, why is it now in the middle of the lake?"

"This... this, this is not afraid that fellow Taoists will not dare to go if they know that they are in the middle of the underworld." The ghost witch's expression changed, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes, and he said embarrassingly.

In fact, Han Li didn't know where Huangquan Daze was, let alone how dangerous it was. Even if the ghost and witch bluntly told the real location of the six reincarnation disks, Han Li would not be scared off.

"Hearing what you said, is this Huangquan Daze a dangerous place?" Han Li asked.

"Fellow Daoist Han can ask this question because he doesn't know Huangquan Daze yet. Why does the name have the word 'Huangquan' in it? Let me explain to you." Ghost Witch said with a slightly relaxed expression.

After Han Li and Zi Ling looked at each other, they all gathered around and listened carefully to the ghost witch's words.

"The reason why this dark red lake is called "Huangquan Daze" is because at the bottom of the lake, there are soul-eating springs everywhere, which can absorb people's three souls and seven souls. Once the three souls are exhausted Absorbing it, the soul will directly fall into reincarnation, and the body will stay at the bottom of the lake, slowly corrode and disappear, and merge with Daze." Guiwu explained.

"So what, just fly a little higher and don't be sucked in by it." Jin Tong said.

"Fellow Daoist's words are not bad. As long as you don't touch the lake, you won't be attracted by the Soul-devouring Spring. But have you seen the chaotic blood cloud in the lake?" asked the ghost witch.

"What's so weird about that blood cloud?" Shi Chuankong asked.

"There's nothing weird about the blood cloud, what's weird is the wind that blows the blood cloud." Ghost Witch said.

Han Li pondered for a while, but he didn't find anything strange about the wind on the lake, but the blood cloud was filled with a strong fishy smell, which was not a good place at first glance.

"The wind in the blood cloud is only the wind that can be seen. As for the wind that cannot be seen, it is even more dangerous..." said the ghost witch.

"Old ghost, don't be foolish, and make it clear quickly." Jin Tong said impatiently.

"Aren't I just going to say this... this whirlwind, the wind is not strong, if you don't pay attention, it is even difficult to find their traces. But in fact, they are almost all over the entire Daze. Once people are involved, In just a moment, all flesh and blood will be stripped clean. Whether you are Taiyi Daluo or a wild alien, the difference is only the length of time." Ghost Witch said.

"What's worse, once it is swept by the positive and negative cyclones, it is inevitable that they will not fall into the water. At that time, the soul will also be swallowed and fall back into reincarnation." Han Li frowned and added.

"It's not difficult at all. As long as you cross the lake with a magic treasure fairy boat and carefully avoid those whirlwinds, you can still reach the lake." Crying Soul frowned slightly and said.

"It must not be like this. The water of this great lake is like the weak water of the nine heavens. Goose feathers do not float, and fallen leaves do not float. No matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it will not be able to carry it, and it will just sink directly into the lake." Ghost Witch said.

When Jin Tong heard this, he turned his wrist, a light flashed in his palm, and a bunch of snow-white hair emerged.

Han Li frowned, and found that the hair was Xiaobai's fluff, but he didn't know when it was pulled off by the golden boy.

I saw that he held the white hair in front of his body, and with a light blow, the hair floated up and landed on the lake.

Sure enough, as the ghost witch said, the hair fluttered from left to right, and gradually sank to the bottom of the water.

"You really can't even lift your hair?" Jin Tong asked a little disappointed when he saw this.

Han Li frowned slightly, suddenly remembered something, turned his wrist, a blue light flashed in his palm, and something emerged.

"You asked us to cut down this green bamboo, probably for crossing the river?" Han Li asked.

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Han is really very smart! The only thing that can float on this Huangquan Daze is probably this Naihe bamboo. So if you want to go there, you can only use this bamboo to make a boat and cross the water. Yes." Ghost Witch nodded and said.

Han Li immediately raised his hand and threw it, and the three-foot-long green bamboo flew into the sky and fell straight into the water.

When the green bamboo entered the water, it didn't splash the slightest bit of water, and it didn't make the slightest sound. After half of its body entered the water, it flicked upwards, and the bamboo body fell down and floated quietly on the water.

"With Naihe Bamboo as the boat, how should we deal with the positive and negative whirlwind?" Han Li asked, looking at the ghost witch.

"The positive and negative whirlwinds seem to be chaotic, scattered everywhere on the lake, as if airtight, but I spent hundreds of thousands of years observing, only to find that there is actually a hidden waterway in it, as long as you follow that waterway If you walk, you can avoid the whirlwind and cross over." The ghost witch said with a "hehe" smile.

When Han Li heard this, he turned his wrist, and a jade slip appeared in his palm, and he threw it at the ghost witch.

"Use your spiritual thoughts to engrave the path of the positive and negative cyclones on the waters of the Daze in this jade slip, marking the path of the hidden waterway." Han Li said calmly.

The ghost witch took it in his hand, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

After he laughed a few times, he closed his eyes, held the jade slip tightly, and engraved it with his divine sense.

The rest of the people took out the Naihe bamboos they had chopped down one after another, and piled them in bundles in front of them.

"The lake is full of whirlwinds, and the waterway may not be wide enough. Although there are a lot of green bamboos here, it is not suitable for making large boats. Just make two bamboo boats that can accommodate one or two people. At that time, only one person will take the boat with me, and the rest Just stay in my cave. There are two bamboo boats, one for crossing the water and one for backup, just in case." Han Li said.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you are always so thoughtful, I have to admire you." Shi Chuankong praised sincerely.

Jin Tong and Crying Soul looked at each other and smiled as if they felt honored. Only Zi Ling took a deep look at Han Li, with a faint smile on his lips.

Han Li just smiled and started to make the bamboo boat without saying anything.

In a short while, two green bamboo boats with a length of three feet and a width of six feet were completed. They were moderate in size and quite delicate.

At the same time, the ghost witch also drew a map of the distribution of cyclones in the lake, and handed the jade slips back to Han Li.
