Chen Shuyang turned to look at Nie Feng, and Nie Feng immediately said: "The captain may be trapped, we plan to come back and discuss with Lou Fan."
"But Brother Lou went out." Chen Shuyang was a little anxious, and explained: "Before the innkeeper and the proprietress were talking outside the door, we heard them say that the water in the holy lake was abnormal, so Brother Lou said to go and have a look."
Looking at it, it was already midnight and he hadn't come back yet. He originally wanted to find someone, but he was worried that the three of them would not see anyone when they came back, so he could only wait. It was a torment on both sides.
Lou Fan went into the water wearing a fish-scale suit, swallowed a small pearl, and planned to take a good look into the lake. The water in the lake is clear, but he has been swimming for a long time, but he has not seen any passages, and there are no fish in the lake, let alone blue or golden fish.
He did not give up and dived a long way, but still found nothing, but found something unusual.
On the shore, Lou Fan shook the water off his head and looked sideways at the holy lake. The holy lake shimmers under the moonlight, so sacred that people can't feel any other mood, just want to worship.
But at this moment, Lou Fan's eyes were dark, after a few glances, he turned and walked back.
"Brother Lou, you're finally back." Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Shuyang immediately ran to open the door, feeling relieved to see Lou Fan.
Lou Fan looked around quickly, his face darkened, "Where's Qin Tan?"
Chen Shuyang replied immediately, "Brother Qin may be trapped, maybe he will be back soon."
Lou Fan pursed his lips, walked quickly to the side of the backpack and began to pack his things, as if he was about to go out.
Chen Shuyang immediately stopped him, "Brother Lou, why don't we wait a little longer, Brother Qin is so powerful, he must be fine."
"No." Lou Fan glanced at the sky outside the window, "It's almost dawn."
Lou Fan grabbed his things in a hurry and was about to go out. Gao Yi and Nie Feng stood up to join him, but the door was pushed open from the outside.
Qin Tan came back, followed by a burly girl with two braids.
Chen Shuyang immediately became happy, "Brother Qin, it's great that you are back, Brother Lou is going to find you."
Qin Tan looked over, Lou Fan chuckled, and his eyes began to wander.
Everyone came back together, and Qin Tan brought Ah Feng back. Gao Yi and Nie Feng also talked about their discovery in the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord is a ghost, colluding with Ghost Lake Village, and the captured people will be skinned, so they should be used by the city lord.
Lou Fan pondered for a while, temporarily felt that this discovery was useless, and told about his own discovery. "I went to the holy lake to explore. There is no passage in the lake, and there are no blue and golden fish as the black-robed villagers said. However, the bottom of the lake has begun to turn black, which is a bit like a ghost lake."
Qin Tan listened intently, and did not interrupt Lou Fan, and waited until he finished speaking before saying, "Did you run into the lake by yourself?"
Lou Fan: "Hehehe... Didn't you hear the innkeeper's words?"
"Oh." Qin Tan took a sip of water and said lightly, "Who promised me to come before?"
The fur ball in Lou Fan's arms trembled, making him dumbfounded.
"It's dawn, let's go and send Ah Feng back first." Lou Fan laughed.
It was indeed a matter of business, but Qin Tan didn't intend to just let him go, snorted at him, and whispered, "I'll settle the score with you when it's over."
In the small courtyard, several people watched Ah Feng, who was taller than the old woman, hugged the old woman, and patted her hard a few times, all worried for the old woman. After these few blows, will the bones really not fall apart
But the old woman was obviously very energetic, and she happily let them sit.
Several people were eager to know the clues, so they stopped sitting. Lou Fan asked on behalf of everyone: "Grandmother, please tell me how to open the passage between the holy lake and the ghost lake. Haven't you noticed that the water in the holy lake has begun to change?" ?”
The old lady, who was still cheerful, sat down leisurely, the expression of joy was no longer on her face, only loneliness and sighs remained.
"Actually, there is no passage between the holy lake and the ghost lake. No matter what, it is impossible to connect together." She looked at the flowers by the wall, as if fascinated, "The holy lake originally relied on the power of people's belief. It will become a holy lake, but unfortunately, the villagers of Ghost Lake no longer trust the lake water that raised them, and the lake water has become stagnant water, turbid, dark, and dead. And this distrust is because they have lost their human skin."
Several people felt nervous for a while, knowing that important clues were coming.
"We need to change the water of the lake and return their faith. They are human, how can they have no human skin? When their resentment disappears and they believe that the water of the lake will nourish them again, the water of the lake will become clear again."
Ah Feng, who had disappeared just now, came out of the house, holding a round object in his hand, and handed it to Lou Fan under the signal of his mother-in-law, "Take it, give this to the villagers, and bring something that belongs to them, they will Thank you for yours."
In Lou Fan's palm lay a round piece of jade, one blue and one gold two fish holding their tails in a circle, which looks very much like gossip.
It turned out that these were two fishes, one blue and one gold, no wonder he couldn't find them in the lake. Lou Fan looked up at the old woman, she had a kind face, like a bodhisattva who tolerated all beings.
Lou Fan blinked, and looked over, it was still the same mother-in-law standing beside A Feng.
"Go quickly." The old woman said, "Time waits for no one."
Tonight is the time for the village chief to go back, and the sun is already high at this time, so they have to prepare quickly.
Lou Fan said thank you to the closed door, bowed again, and the others bowed after him, and then left the small courtyard.
At the gate of the city, a bell rang, and the five of them cheered up immediately. The 'village head' has changed into normal clothes, but he is ringing a bell in his hand, followed by a group of people. At this time, the night is quiet, and at first glance, it looks like a ghost messenger escorting a ghost to reincarnate.
It's not a ghost! Lou Fan was thinking, but his eyes were fixed on him, hiding in the dark to avoid being discovered. When a group of people came to the front, five figures followed immediately, falling behind in a line.
There were still two gatekeepers, only then did Lou Fan realize that this was a cave under the lake. They followed the sound of the bells into the cave, and the further they went, the more humid it became, and water dripped on the stone walls.
"Hiss..."
Lou Fan turned his head to look around suspiciously, he heard a strange but familiar sound. The rest of the people also heard it and turned to look.
A head protruded from the side stone wall, seeing Lou Fan looking over, he immediately opened his mouth, showing his white teeth, and waved vigorously at him.
Lou Fan's eyes widened, and he turned to look at Qin Tan, who also noticed it. They looked at each other, and immediately let go of the hem of the person in front of him, and ran over quickly.
"Brother Lou, Brother Qin!" Wen Lang was a little excited, but still controlled and whispered, "I didn't expect to meet you, we are still wondering if we will meet."
Qin Tan asked, "Where are the others? Just you?"
Lou Fan was about to speak when he saw Jiang Dong appearing from another place, and said with a smile, "Sure enough."
Wen Lang said: "Sister Tong Fei and the others are all here, and Fan Dayong is also here."
As soon as he said this, Gao Yi knew that Chen Man was gone, and there was a trace of regret on his face, but he didn't say anything, but pursed his lips.
"How did you get here?" Qin Tan asked again.
Everyone wants to know this question, just as Wen Lang was about to explain, Tong Fei and Fan Dayong came back. When they saw the others, they immediately became happy, and even Feng Zhi smiled.
Tong Fei said happily, "You guys came back so soon? It seems that you have found a clue."
It was still early at this time, and everyone was not in a hurry, so they simply found a hidden place and let one person guard it, while the rest gathered together and discussed in a low voice. Tong Fei and the others mainly talked about how they got in, and why they were here at this time.
In fact, they didn't go out the day before, because they missed the time. After the ghost left, they didn't find the exit, and stayed here for a day and a night.
Lou Fang and the others told the main clues and told them to get the human skin. He didn't know where to find this yet.
Tong Fei and the others had smiles in their eyes, they knew it!
"The human skin is here."
Lou Fan was surprised and said, "It's here? Did you find it?"
Tong Fei nodded, and immediately led the way forward. The road in the cave was complicated, but fortunately they left a mark in advance, and Wen Lang still had fluorescent powder left by Lou Fan on his body.
When the neat human skin appeared in front of Lou Fan and the others, goosebumps all over his body couldn't stop popping out.
Chen Shuyang shivered, "There are so many human skins to be taken out, eh..." He rubbed his arms.
Qin Tan put down the backpack and took out a stack of tarpaulins from inside, "Put away the human skin first, wrap it all in the tarpaulin, and then put it in the backpack."
If the ghost wants to take off the human skin on the shore, it should not get wet, try not to get the human skin wet.
Following Qin Tan's movements, everyone quickly began to divide and cooperate, taking it down, sorting it out, wrapping it up with tarpaulins, many people were quick and quick, and the human skin in the hole was cleaned up in a few strokes.
Indistinct figures began to come and go in the cave, and soon a ghost found out, and the whole group felt that when it 'saw' the human skin in the cave was gone, it made a piercing cry.
It is calling for companions.
"Go ashore first!" Qin Tan said immediately, pushing everyone out, "Tong Fei leads the way."
He was about to say that he was dead, when Wen Lang and Jiang Dong stood behind him, Wen Lang quickly said: "Brother Qin, follow along first, we know the exit, we will come if we lead them away."
Lou Fan was about to come to help, when Wen Lang stuffed his backpack into his arms, "Brother Lou, let's go."
Qin Tan stopped Lou Fan, "Let's go first, send the human skin up and come back to help."
Lou Fan paused, and shouted to Wen Lang, "Be careful."
I only had time to give this sentence, and the ghosts behind had already rushed up, looking around, there were ghosts everywhere. A group of people showed their own magical powers, holding the spiritual weapon in their hands. Both Wen Lang and Jiang Dong's spirit weapons were long-distance attacks, and their numbers were superior, so they blocked the big wave of ghosts for a while.
Lou Fan followed Tong Fei and the others to the entrance of the cave, and saw that the exit was in front of him, but Tong Fei in front of him yelled strangely, "Why are there so many!"
The exit was dark, blacker than the black lake water, standing in front of my eyes like a black hole, trying to suck everyone in.
