Here Lies The Wicked

Chapter 88: Money can turn ghosts around

Views:

The water was rippling.

Pinghu rippled in circles.

In the thick fog, the small wooden boat was still moving forward at a steady pace.

Longtou Lake occupies a large area. The water area alone exceeds a thousand acres of land. In addition, the mountain is high and the top of the cloud is high. During the day, there is a wonderful view of "it will be the top of the stone, and you can see the clear water and blue sky".

But at night, only the foggy lake remained.

It's like a huge cemetery of the dead.

Fangzheng looked at the world around him in amazement, thinking to himself, where will this ship take him

The distance from the shore of the lake is getting farther and farther, and the visibility is very low under the thick fog.

"It's getting more and more mysterious." Fang Zheng muttered in his heart.

There was a dead body on the body of the fisherman, who was blinded by ghosts in the lake, and lived in peace along the way. The others were not disturbed by the voice of the devil, and they sat quietly. It seemed that everyone obeyed the rules tacitly and did not make a sound. After about twenty minutes, Fangzheng clearly felt the speed of the small wooden boat under his feet, and it was slowly descending.

With the swaying arc of the ripples, the hull of the boat is slowly becoming lighter...until, the small wooden boat slowly docked.

Boom, the bow of the ship hit the hard soil lightly, and finally came to a complete stop.

At this moment, the three boat passengers got up separately, without exchanging a word with each other, they all went straight to the shore of the lake.

Fangzheng also hurried ashore, carefully disguising himself.

When people went ashore, Fangzheng began to silently survey the surrounding environment after his feet felt down-to-earth again.

The surrounding area is still covered with white mist, and nothing can be seen, but this place seems to be a cave waterway, because Fangzheng can clearly hear the echo of the water waves.

"cave?"

After Fangzheng went ashore, he originally planned to follow the three mysterious people, and then play by ear.

But just as he took a curious look at his surroundings, within a few seconds before and after, the three of them plunged into the white mist and lost all traces.

In desperation, Fangzheng could only plan to follow the outer area first to find out how big the cave was, and maybe he would be lucky enough to meet other people during this period.

Fangzheng walked a certain distance, but the surrounding area was still a vast expanse of whiteness, with low visibility. Just stop and go like this, leaving marks on the ground from time to time to prevent getting lost, Fang Zheng explored the cave bit by bit.

This cave is very large, it seems to be a long corridor, surrounded by hard rocks, this cave seems to be a big mountain cave

Just as Fangzheng was still exploring the world in front of him, suddenly, a green glow appeared in the mist ahead, like a wisp of will-o'-the-wisp burning in a peaceful world, piercing through the mist, making it somewhat conspicuous.

Fangzheng's eyes lit up, he quickly held his breath, his movements became more gentle and cautious, and he landed silently and lurked past.

As it got closer, Fangzheng heard footsteps.

But soon the footsteps faded away.

However, the green glow like a will-o'-the-wisp is still there, staying in place without moving.

Fangzheng's movements became more cautious and prudent, and he completely restrained his breath. A few minutes later, when Fangzheng finally saw when the so-called green light was, his face was surprised first, and then his brows frowned.

There was a slight cold light in his eyes.

A small boat, a boatman... wearing a brown coir raincoat, wearing a bamboo hat, and a green leather lantern hanging on the bow.

In the green leather lantern, there is a length of white candle dancing with flames, but it is not the usual orange color, but a slender burning green will-o’-the-wisp. From a distance, one thinks it is a small candle writhing gently in the air. green snake.

With a weird atmosphere.

In particular, this candle emits the stench of corpses...

Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, from time to time, the water of the lake beats on the boat, making a soft sound of waves. The boat undulates gently with the waves, but it always stays in place and never moves an inch. This in itself is a bit weird.

The boatman in coir raincoat is a middle-aged strong man with thick eyebrows and square face.

But his face was covered with a thick layer of white powder, like a pale dead face emerging from the water surface.

Suddenly, the gloomy face of the white-faced boatman, which was flickering bright and dark under the blue light, raised his head and looked towards the shore where there was only white mist.

"The ferry takes advantage of the dark road, and the rich ghost turns the mill." The white-faced boatman said in a gloomy voice without moving his flesh.

However, it was clear that there was no one on the shore.

But just at this moment, as soon as the words fell, the originally calm white mist on the shore suddenly twisted and rolled, as if driven by the air current, and then a black figure gradually came clearly from the mist, approaching the boat.

As he got closer, the figure of that person gradually became clear.

Combat uniforms, tactical helmets, field boots... This unconventional outfit, no matter how you look at it from head to toe, looks like the image of the big villain "military" in Hollywood.

Fangzheng slapped the notes in the air and said, "I have money."

At the same time, Fang Zheng made a gesture to board the ship, but just as his feet landed on the bow, he was suddenly lifted off like an electric shock.

Fangzheng exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, why is there Zhang Mingbi under my feet?"

"Boatman, did you drop this ghost coin on the boat, or did I drop it myself?"

Fangzheng raised his feet in surprise, and on the boat plank under his feet, a Ming coin was falling down. He lay there quietly on his back, and the white-faced boatman flashed greedy for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Yes!" I fell."

The white-faced boatman rushed to the bow of the boat, with greedy eyes, bent down to pick it up, as if Fang Zheng would pick it up if he was too late.

Just as the white-faced boatman bent over to pick up the money, suddenly!

Without any warning, the knife fell from the hand, and a human head was sliced off, but not a single drop of blood spattered out, it turned out to be an empty human skin.

Everything came too abruptly, the wood-burning saber technique, the Ba Lie Kuai Dao flashed ten or twenty slashes, like chopping stars and moons, cutting out invisible to the naked eye, the flames of the sword engulfed the headless boatman on the spot, and the heat wave Rolling, the temperature is extremely hot.

boom!

The human skin boatman was crushed on the spot and burned to ashes like paper, gray air +1.

Money can turn ghosts around.

These ghosts are too greedy.

After Fangzheng picked up the four ghost coins on the ground, he smashed the boat and the soul-inducing lamp with two knives, and immediately left the place in a hurry.

After about ten minutes...

Fang Zheng, who was exploring the unknown cave world, once again saw a green glow dancing in the white mist ahead.

"Hey, why is there Zhang Mingbi under my feet? Did you drop the money on the boat, or did I drop it myself?"

The same scene happened again.

Pale air +1.

When Fangzheng left the spot in a hurry, only the fragments of the wooden boat and the sinking half of the boat remained on the surface of the lake.

Shortly after…

"Why did the boatman have a piece of money here? Did you drop it on the boat, or did I drop it myself?"

When Fangzheng explored to the end, but found no one else, and returned to where the corpse hunter was, he had already saved three runes.

Eight yinde coins.
