Hidden God

Chapter 16: There is fraud

Views:

I looked up at Chen Mingyu: "How do you know the Water God is down there?"

I responded after asking. According to legends, the Jianmu should connect heaven and earth, but there is no similar thing on Fuxian Lake. Maybe the Jianmu has sunk to the bottom of the lake along with the ancient city.

Chen Mingyu gave me another answer: "All the water gods crawled out of the ground. The World Tree you mentioned must be underground."

I said in a deep voice: "Do you know the origin of the Water God?"

Chen Mingyu replied: "I followed the water gods once. Although I didn't find their lair, I think they should be underground near the water, not in Fuxian Lake."

"Oh?" I couldn't help but be stunned. Chen Mingyu's statement really surprised me. I always thought that the water gods were under Fuxian Lake, but I didn't expect that they had another lair.

Chen Mingyu didn't need me to ask anymore and continued: "Over the years, I have also been looking for the secret that can lift the curse of the water god. You guys come with me..."

Chen Mingyu stood up, picked up a bucket of half-cooked meat and shelled eggs from the kitchen, and then took us to the basement deep in the villa: "I also have a water god at home, that is my son …”

Chen Mingyu opened the iron door of the basement with his own hands, led us to an underground swimming pool with steel guardrails, took out a steel clamp from the iron bucket, and knocked twice on the bucket.

After a while, I saw a dark green shadow floating from the corner of the swimming pool, kicking its legs like a frog and swimming towards us.

That is the water god, the most complete water god I have ever seen. The opponent has generally turned into the shape of a frog, especially the head, which has almost become a triangle shape. The two eyes have moved to the sides of the face, and the few strands of hair left on the top of the head are sparsely draped in front of the eyes.

When the other party swam to our feet, he stretched out two webbed paws from the water and hooked them on the guardrail of the swimming pool. He raised his head and looked at Chen Mingyu.

Chen Mingyu's eyes unconsciously filled with painful love: "My child, I'm here to see you. Are you hungry?"

Chen Mingyu picked up the piece of meat with a pair of tongs and held it to the water god's mouth. The latter showed a pair of jagged teeth and bit the piece of meat and swallowed it.

I have been staring at the water god eating. Although he does not wrap the food with his tongue like a frog, he does not chew it. He swallows it whole like a frog. There is even a layer of food on the lower jaw. Congested skin.

Chen Mingyu said softly: "Eat slowly, you will be rewarded..."

When Chen Mingyu picked up the piece of meat again, a tongue more than a foot long suddenly came out of the water god's mouth and wrapped around Chen Mingyu's wrist and pulled him into the pool. Chen Mingyu's body leaned downward, almost lying on the iron railing of the pool.

I quickly grabbed Chen Mingyu and pulled him back with all my strength. The water god in the pool also used four hands to hold on to the iron railing. He was hanging on the railing and exerted all his strength to pull Chen Mingyu's arm into the water.

In just an instant, Chen Mingyu's palms were strangled until they turned black and purple, and blood oozed from his wrists. When Ye Xun on the side drew a dagger and pointed it at the water god's tongue, Chen Mingyu shouted hoarsely: "Don't, don't cut his tongue! Cut my hand, cut my hand..."

After Ye Xun hesitated for a moment, he immediately squatted next to the pool, turned the dagger, pointed the tip towards himself, and slammed the handle of the knife into the eye socket of the Water God. After two consecutive blows, the Water God finally released his tongue and retreated into the water. .

Chen Mingyu covered her bloody wrist with tears streaming down her face: "He is my son. Not long after I came out of Fuxian Lake, the Water God came to the door. I failed to save my wife, and even my son was scratched by the Water God. . He began to turn into the water god little by little. He used to be close to me, but then he gradually stopped recognizing me... "

Chen Mingyu suddenly knelt down to us: "I am already at this age, how long can I live? Once I am gone, what will he do? Please save him, as long as you can save him, I will give all the money For you guys… "

I helped Chen Mingyu up and said, "Let's do our best! I need to arrange some things. You come with us."

"This way please..." Chen Mingyu stood up and walked to the iron gate in a few steps. When I was about to follow him, I heard two vague voices coming from the pool. When I turned my head to look over, I saw the water god floating on the water holding a piece of clothing, struggling and shouting something, which sounded like it was calling "Daddy".

Chen Mingyu shook his head and sighed: "Maybe the only thing left in his memory is the black dress. In order to prevent him from forgetting me, I throw a piece of clothing into the water every once in a while... "

Chen Mingyu shed tears again while speaking. I couldn't help but sigh and followed him out of the basement.

This time I did not go back to the living room, but stood in the villa yard and observed for a while before saying, "Old Ma, can you find the other two heavy weapons?"

Chen Mingyu asked tentatively: "Chen Hui's thing is really not in your hands?"

I said coldly: "If that thing is in my hand, will I be bitten by the water god?"

"That's right..." Chen Mingyu said coquettishly, "The other two important items are all in my hands. Two of the three people who survived that year are dead. Before Lao Lu died, he handed over the item in his hand. Gave it to me."

After Chen Mingyu finished speaking, he hesitated and said, "Can I ask, what do you want that thing for?"

I said bluntly: "Bring the Water God here. If I'm not mistaken, the Water God should also be looking for these two important weapons. Am I right?"

"Yes." Chen Mingyu said, "The Water God will appear every three years or so, and they will definitely come to find us. Lao Lu died in the hands of the Water God three years ago."

When Chen Mingyu spoke, Ye Xun couldn't help but look at me. I understand what he means. What he wants to say is: it will take about three years for the image of the ancient city on Fuxian Lake to surface. If calculated according to this calculation, every time the ancient city is out of water, the water god will be dispatched.

There must be an inevitable connection between the ancient city and the water god.

I said calmly: "We can't find the lair of the water gods now. The only way is to let the water gods come to us. As long as we can catch the living water gods, it will not be difficult to find their lair."

"This..." When Chen Mingyu was still hesitating, I already said: "Don't worry, I have also been poisoned by the water god. I am more anxious than you. I can't risk my life to play with you, right?"

Chen Mingyu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will arrange what you want to do."

I pointed to the swimming pool in front of the villa and said: "Put some insulating things for me there. I will sit in the middle of the swimming pool. Then bring me two antiques and put them together on the table. There is a high ceiling in the pool." Piezoelectric, the Water God is here, you don’t need me to teach you how to do it, right?”

Chen Mingyu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. I'll definitely have it done before midnight."

Chen Mingyu went to arrange the manpower, and I sat on the edge of the swimming pool and watched them put up a show, giving instructions from time to time. At nearly ten o'clock, Chen Mingyu finally built an insulated wooden platform. Ye Xun and I sat on the top of the platform together. Chen Mingyu also had two bronze trees moved to the stage.

When I shined my flashlight at the bronze tree, I dipped my finger in mineral water and wrote two words on the table: Fraud.

Ye Xun whispered expressionlessly: "What do you mean?"

I pretended to be looking at antiques and whispered to Ye Xun: "Chen Mingyu is fake. He moved his hands after a while. Can you knock down the shelf and lead us to the swimming pool?"

I'm referring to the direction close to the villa's courtyard wall. I just had someone build the platform higher on purpose, so that when the platform collapses, we can use the strength to jump to the other side of the swimming pool. As long as we land safely, it won't take long for us to climb over the wall and leave the villa.

Ye Xun roughly estimated the distance: "It should be no problem. How do you know that Chen Mingyu is cheating?"

"I don't have time to explain, just listen to me. When you do it, be careful of the windows on the second floor. There is a gunman over there." I pointed in the direction of the second floor of the villa with a magnifying glass. The gunman over there obviously didn't pay attention to me and Ye Xun. He just hid his figure slightly. Naturally, he couldn't escape my eyes.

I didn't suspect Chen Mingyu at first, and it wasn't until I entered the villa that I realized something was wrong.

There are at least thirty people hiding in Chen Mingyu's villa. Why did he only bring four people to find us

Did he trust his men too much? Certainly not. The more status a person has in the world, the more he cherishes his life. To the extent that he can support dozens of people and swagger through the market, he will never go into battle with only a few subordinates.

Chen Mingyu's men did not leave the villa. It should be that things in the villa are more important. As long as Chen Mingyu can bring us back, it is enough.

Chen Mingyu took me into the basement swimming pool. The performance seemed real, but was extremely artificial. He knew that we didn't need to cut off his hand to save him. He deliberately said that just to make us believe that he needed to find the water god's lair more.

When we were about to leave the basement, the water god held a piece of clothing and called "Daddy". Although Chen Mingyu explained it, I saw several tears on the clothing, which were obviously marks left by knife wounds. . The owner of this villa must have been thrown into the pool by Chen Mingyu, and that person is the "father" of the Water God.

Chen Mingyu didn't expect that I had such good eyesight, and I deliberately let him trap me in the swimming pool, so he dared to take out the two bronze trees. Otherwise, I really couldn't deceive that old fox.

I think part of Chen Mingyu's words should be true.

Whether I can escape or not depends on whether this bronze tree can attract the water god.
