I don’t know when I fell asleep. It was just because I was too tired after finishing the paper man. I didn’t even have time to look at it, but I and Uncle Johnny looked at the paper man for a long time inexplicably.
I didn't expect that a just-finished paper man would be so 'attractive'. Uncle Johnny and I couldn't take our eyes away from it for a long time. The three-dimensional one looked at least much more real than the flat one. , the eyebrows and eyes drawn by a few strokes seem to have a certain charm, which makes people feel inexplicably comfortable looking at them.
"I...I think people should look like this, right?" I forgot that I stared at it for a few minutes, but I couldn't help but murmured.
But I didn't expect Uncle Johnny to wake up before me, so he pulled me away and said to me: "Li once said that what you have not achieved but desire is a kind of 'evil' in your heart, but It cannot be called 'evil', because it can be converted into positive energy and drive people to keep moving forward, but it can also accidentally turn into an uncontrollable evil that makes people sink."
"Suddenly talking about this?" I yawned, and the warmth of the fire made my fatigue finally break out. In fact, what Uncle Johnny said is not unreasonable, but since it is Master's point of view, Master also said to me when I was a child, I can't understand it well, and even now I can only understand the meaning, but I can't do it. to its true charm.
"That is, don't stare at this paper man and forget about it. Li once said that it is quite evil..." Uncle Johnny said while laying a thick carpet on the rock.
He pulled me to lie down on him, and I smiled and said, "It's not that bad yet, but I was confused by a soulless paper man."
Uncle Johnny covered me with a blanket and said: "That's true, but just in case. Didn't you just say that you think people should be like that? This is evidence of being shaken by the infection. I don't want you to If anything goes wrong, Li once said to be careful of paper figures, especially... "
Uncle Johnny did not continue talking, but rather nervously took a blanket, covered the paper man, and whispered: "No one should look at it before using it tomorrow."
At this time, I was already in a daze. I always felt that Uncle Johnny was too careful, but at the same time, there was some warmth in my heart. He made a bed and covered me with a quilt. Apart from my family and my master, there was no other person to do this. Who did it for me? Unexpectedly, in my thirties, I would experience it again with Uncle Johnny.
The next day, when I woke up, it was already bright.
A night's sleep without incident was enough for me to judge that Patel really didn't have the energy to make trouble again. After a night's sleep, each of us had recovered somewhat, but from the actual situation, it was probably Half of peak form.
I washed briefly and took the breakfast handed over by Ru Yue. Although it was just simple dry food, after a good night's sleep, I still ate it very deliciously.
The deep pool has changed slightly. It is no longer a gloomy and mist-filled place that makes people feel mysterious and a little scary at first sight. The water surface is also slightly glowing with the golden color that the sun can bring. ripple.
Today is a sunny day. Although there are only wisps of sunshine coming in here, it is still a good start after all.
I don’t know why I feel so good when I think of this, and I can’t help but smile at the corner of my mouth.
"Open the coffin at three quarters noon, Chengyi, this time must be grasped." At this time, Xiao Chengqian came to my side. The master did not leave any specific methods on how to deal with the corpse, but Uncle Johnny Taoists are Taoists who have become monks in the middle of their journey. They have no experience in these matters as we do, so it is almost us juniors who are discussing this matter.
Yesterday we just discussed a general idea. Today, Xiao Chengqian was particularly worried. When he saw me giggling, he came over and emphasized to me! According to the plan, it was Xiao Chengqian and I who went into the water to pick up the coffin. Therefore, Mr. Xiao, who is used to being 'domineering' on weekdays, rarely became serious today. It was also because the power of Patel's soul left a deep impression on us yesterday. caused by the impression.
"Don't worry, the coffin will be opened at three quarters noon." I happened to finish the dry food in my hand, took a big sip, and responded to Xiao Chengqian.
Three quarters past noon is a very important time. At this point, the Yang Qi reaches its peak and can suppress many auras, such as evil spirits, resentment, etc... What's more important is to completely suppress the Yin Qi, which can Prevent evil spirits from taking shape immediately! After this time, the Yang Qi will suddenly weaken, and then people will enter the sleepy noon, and then the Yang Qi will recover near 2 o'clock in the afternoon... Therefore, it is very important to grasp this time point. .
When the coffin is opened at 3:00 noon, even if the zombie in the coffin rises, it will be suppressed by Yang Qi, which will consume a lot of Yin Qi and evil spirit, so that people will not be hit by the first mouthful of corpse evil when the zombie rises. , immediately lost consciousness.
To deal with a powerful zombie, the right time, place, and people are all indispensable. Three quarters past noon is our perfect time.
After breakfast, I remembered to check the time. Since I slept late last night, it was already almost 10 o'clock in the morning, and everything would be delayed.
I casually did some simple warm-up exercises on the rocks. I called Xiao Chengqian and put on my diving suit together with him, ready to go into the water. But before going into the water, I brought an ink line with me, which is what Taoists must bring when traveling all over the country. After all, what the Taoists are most concerned about are zombies. With the ink line on the body, the coffin can be sealed so that the zombies cannot get up and break the coffin for a while.
The Taoist ink line itself is made of imperial ink, rooster comb blood, and cinnabar mixed with liquid poured on cotton thread to make the Zhiyang line. In addition, it was originally used by craftsmen to measure the circle of heaven and earth, which represents horizontal, vertical and horizontal lines. His absolute righteousness has no deviation, and his aura is also the thing that suppresses zombies.
"The coffin was about to be opened. Why did you bring the ink line?" Xiao Chengqian looked a little disapproving of my move.
"The one in the coffin is Patel, and he is not an ordinary zombie! Although it was sealed by the master, we have to carry the coffin up. It is difficult to guarantee what it will become if it comes into contact with our anger! Even if it is separated Carrying the coffin." I said calmly, but actually my heart was quite heavy.
When I said this, Xiao Chengqian also fell silent, his face looked ugly, and it was obvious that his mood began to feel heavy.
Taoist people are not necessarily extremely brave people, they just happen to have learned how to restrain some evil things and ghosts, but who can guarantee that there will be no deviations or accidents
"Okay, we can't escape what is coming. Let's do our best to live up to our fate." I comforted Xiao Chengqian casually, then put on a hood, bit the oxygen tube, climbed down the rock first, and entered the water.
Xiao Chengqian sighed, followed me, and entered the water with me.
The water in this deep pool is much colder than the water in other parts of the Ganges River. There are still some fish carcasses floating on the water. You can see it when you look up. It inexplicably adds an aura of death to this place.
There are also living creatures in the water, including strange-looking fish and other things. But because they are no longer controlled by Patel’s evil soul, these strange guys did not attack us. Even though many of them are huge, take a look. It brings endless psychological pressure to people.
Xiao Chengqian and I tried not to pay attention to these guys. We just kept diving down. The depth of the deep pool was not as deep as we thought. We only dived more than thirty meters. Before we reached the limit of diving, we were already Dive to the bottom of the deep pool.
There is an absolutely quiet world at the bottom of the pool. There are scattered rocks on the silt, and in the gaps between the rocks, some unknown aquatic plants are floating with the water waves.
Xiao Chengqian and I used our underwater flashlights and began to search carefully. Because of the magic weapon left by our ancestor that resembled a soul-calling flag, I had sensed the location of the coffin. In addition, there was a huge flow of water during the battle that day. , at that moment, I had seen the coffin, so I still knew the general direction of the coffin. This allowed Xiao Chengqian and I to have the correct search direction, so as not to search aimlessly and delay the search. precious time.
With the correct direction and the illumination of the flashlight, we found the location of the coffin from a distance.
It was indeed stuck between two rocks, and this time I finally saw it clearly! This is a strange coffin, not in the shape of a traditional coffin, but in the shape of a ship. At least from the side, it looks like a sunken boat.
The color of the coffin is also colorful, and there are some paintings on it. Due to the distance, we can't see clearly. But in this dark water, suddenly seeing these colorful colors, we feel a little scared for no reason!
The moment we discovered it, Xiao Chengqian and I looked at each other, and then swam towards the coffin without hesitation, at three quarters of noon! This time is constantly reminding us not to delay...
It was very strange. The closer Xiao Chengqian and I got to the coffin, the colder the surrounding water became. We were wearing very good thermal insulation diving suits, but they couldn't block the biting coldness, which made our bodies feel cold. My whole body became a little stiff! Chilled from the bottom of my heart... .
Xiao Chengqian and I both understand that this is not the normal coldness in nature at all, but the Yin Qi integrated into the water, creating this coldness. It can have such a big impact on the water temperature under the seal. It can be seen that the zombies in the coffin are so powerful. To what extent!
I forced myself not to think too much, but at that moment I kept thinking about the blood pool that Patel had built. Suddenly, I seemed to see a huge blood pool in front of me, with a strong smell of blood. There were many painful souls struggling in the blood pool... This illusion was so real that I was afraid that I would be confused in an instant, so I quickly bit the tip of my tongue and woke up.
But the moment I woke up, I found that I had swam strangely to the edge of the coffin. When I looked next to me, Xiao Chengqian was also there. Under the flashlight, his expression was also unusually ugly.
Not to mention that at this moment, the coffin shook slightly inexplicably.
