I originally thought that the journey of more than a mile would be difficult, but in fact, not to mention ghosts and ghosts, not even ghosts and fog were seen along the way. Except for the low and gloomy sky, there was a depressing rain. The momentum is so depressing that we didn’t encounter any danger at all along the way.
After climbing over the hillside, the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts was already in front of us. The clear lake water with light blue color gently touched the shore. The entire lake was covered with a thin layer of green smoke, making the scenery in the distance somewhat invisible. It's clear, but the rumored Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts actually has some vast beauty, which makes people not associate it with the famous evil place.
"Brother Chengqing, do you want to tell me why our journey is so quiet? What is the reason?" Looking at the beautiful scenery of the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, my heart is not at peace. On the contrary, I have a feeling of saying no. A sense of crisis filled my heart faintly. I frowned and thought, but I couldn't think of an answer, so I could only turn to Brother Chengqing for help.
Brother Chengqing was very calm, glanced at me sideways and said: "How can fortune teller be omnipotent?! It can mess up the secrets of heaven. It is not easy to get some clear hints in the long flow of the future. How can it be used to answer your doubts? Something?"
I coughed awkwardly. Although I didn’t mind Brother Chengqing’s words, my face became more and more ugly. Brother Chengxin said to me: “It’s lucky to have nothing to do all the way. According to what you said, I hope it won’t happen.” What's the matter? You're uneasy if it doesn't happen. What's wrong with this?"
"Ghost Rakshasa has never appeared. There are probably some great things in the Lake of Ghosts, especially these ghosts. When I think about it now, whether they are in the ghost mist or outside the ghost mist, they all seem to be gone. They lost their own thoughts, they..." I said a little seriously, but Xiao Chengqian interrupted me.
"I say Chengyi, no matter it is good or bad, you will always enter the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts. Even if you figure out the cause and effect, the danger will not be reduced by half. Let's go." Young Master Xiao has always been chic.
I didn't say anything more. I didn't think our group would have an answer for a while, so why bother to discourage our own people before taking action? Although I personally think that being able to figure out the causes and consequences will definitely be beneficial to our actions!
"Brother Chen, let's go, the boat is over there." Ji Feng said to me kindly. In the direction he pointed, weren't there two weird boats parked there
In my impression, a general wooden boat is composed of a bottom and a canopy, and then there are places for people to stand and row at one end and the other. However, these two boats are oval-shaped. From a distance, they look like sports competitions. in football.
When I walked in, I discovered that the boat's awning was movable and could be pulled down to instantly enclose a new cabin. The closed cabin was connected to the bottom of the boat, so from a distance, it looked like a rugby ball.
There are complex formations carved on the canopy of the boat. Ji Feng explained to me at the side: "The formations on this boat are a formation that was jointly researched by many experts hundreds of years ago. The purpose is to protect the inside of the boat." After the ship was finally built, this formation was naturally engraved on it. Speaking of which, this formation was perfected once, and it is related to your master, because this formation is your master's. Perfected by ancestors.”
Got involved with my master again? ! I am simply helpless towards my master who I have never seen before but is everywhere!
While talking, Ji Feng took out another small bag of things and gave it to me. When he opened it, he found ten jade charms inside, just like the things Uncle Zheng gave me when I went in and out of the ghost mist last time.
The runes engraved on these ten jade talismans were much more complicated than the runes engraved on the jade talismans that Uncle Zheng gave me. I couldn't recognize what they were for a while, so I could only look at Ji Feng in confusion.
"No matter how simple the formation is, it requires an array-shaking object to activate it. These jade talismans are the activation objects of the canopy formation! We can't imitate it anymore. Every time it is used, it requires a long period of sacrifice. 'These jade talismans can support the formation of the entire ship for three quarters of an hour, and after three quarters of an hour... So you must make good use of the time." Ji Feng said to us seriously.
"You said it can only last for three quarters of an hour?" Cheng Yuan was obviously a little unbelievable that such a complicated formation could only last for three quarters of an hour.
"In the past, it could only last for more than two-quarters of an hour. It was only because your master had perfected the formation that it could last for so long! Don't underestimate these three-quarters of an hour. Within three-quarters of an hour when the formation is activated, even the most powerful The powerful ghosts and ghosts are coming, but they will not affect you or attack you at all! This ship itself has the function of preventing ghosts and ghosts. Don’t forget that all its wood, coupled with Taoist sacrifices, are..." Ji Fengji He hurriedly explained to Chengyuan that he was obviously very proud of this ship.
At this time, there was a slight wind in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, and the green smoke on the lake began to drift away. I don’t know why I was a little flustered, but I always felt that I should leave here as soon as possible. I interrupted Ji Feng’s words and said : "Tell us how to use this jade talisman? I think we should set off quickly and get back quickly."
Ji Feng was interrupted by me, scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled sheepishly at me, then opened the boat awning, jumped on the boat, and began to explain to me in detail the location where the jade talisman needed to be installed.
I noticed that there was some dry food and clean water stored in the boat, and looked at the monsoon in confusion. Is it necessary to store these on the lake here
Ji Feng quickly noticed my doubts and explained to me: "This is what we specially prepared when you were going to set off a few days ago. Who knew... (Wanguiwei Village), you are going to enter the natural environment." I don’t know the specific situation inside the formation, but there has always been a legend that you cannot drink the water there, and you cannot eat the fish you can catch, and it is easy to get lost inside, even though there are guiding lights. But it’s best not to use it unless absolutely necessary. In short, prepare some food to be prepared.”
My heart sank little by little. Judging from what Ji Feng said, there were probably more dangers in the natural formation than I expected, and there was even a high chance that we would be trapped in it.
Afraid that I would be confused, Ji Feng suddenly walked close to the bow of the ship and tore open a piece of floral cloth that had been covering something. Under the floral cloth, there turned out to be a small copper carriage with an extension hanging on it. The little man with arms outstretched looks like a delicate piece of art.
"Is this...?" I was puzzled.
"This is the guiding light. It is said that the inspiration comes from the legendary guide car in ancient times. It is modeled after the legendary guide car." Ji Feng licked his dry lips as he explained to me, and said this again Inevitably, he looks a little proud.
Make a guiding light modeled after the legendary guide car? Is there any moral to this? For a moment I felt that I had grasped some clue, but I couldn't figure out the specific reason. I just frowned and pondered for a while, and then gave up.
Ji Feng kindly moved the guiding light to the bow of the boat for us, and then said: "I ask you not to use this guiding light unless it is absolutely necessary. Firstly, because there are not many guiding lights installed in this car, I have prepared some for you. The amount is sufficient, but it can only last for an hour at most. The usual approach is to light it for a while if you really can't find a way out, and then move forward according to the direction. The second reason is because Once the pilot light is lit, the ship will be like dozens of searchlights, and ghosts will notice you. I don’t need to say more about this, right?"
It actually has such an effect? ! I secretly smacked my tongue. If all the ghosts in the so-called little hell saw us, the consequences would be unimaginable. It seemed that we really shouldn’t use this guiding light unless necessary.
"This boat is very light and slippery. Do any of you have any experience in rowing?" After explaining everything, Ji Feng asked us kindly.
We looked at each other and to be honest, none of us knew how to row! Ji Feng set up the oar, took out the pole, and said to us: "It's not difficult, that's it! Let me give you a ride, bring a few people, and I will teach you how to row! When we get to the outside, let me You can row it yourself."
As soon as Ji Feng finished speaking, strong winds began to blow on the lake. The wind was so fierce that it ruffled a whole pool of lake water in an instant. Along with the green smoke covering the lake, it also blew away a lot of the smoke on the lake in the distance. Some mountain shadows can also be seen vaguely. At this moment, I suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in my heart.
I felt that we had to leave quickly, and there was no time to talk anymore. I almost said to everyone in an urging tone: "Get on the boat and leave quickly. The wind is not normal! Monsoon, you can stay on our boat for the time being." .”
The two boats were one big and one small, so the big boat was naturally prepared for us. Everyone was a little surprised to hear my urging, but we were about to enter the lake, so there was nothing to argue about. Under my urging, everyone They all jumped on board.
"Open it!" Ji Feng picked up the pole, and with great force, the boat finally swayed out of the water, swaying through layers of water waves.
I was standing behind Ji Feng, staring at the layers of water in a trance. But when I was in trance, I always felt that there was something hidden under the water. It seemed that there were countless figures under the water, and there was a face among them. Suddenly he looked up and gave me a dark smile...
My hair suddenly stood up, but at this moment, a pair of hands put their hands on my shoulders...
