If seeing cannot be believed, how can some things in this world completely convince me of my own judgment? Looking at the scene in front of me, I smiled bitterly, but I had to admit this reality!
This should not be a so-called 'superstitious' idealistic cognition. Even science admits that human vision has blind spots. Although the structure of the eyes is exquisite, it is also limited and cannot see the world infinitely clearly. Many environments, Coincidences and even objects can play visual games with humans.
Therefore, I sometimes wonder whether Taoism seems to be "backward" and "ancient", but in fact it has reached a very advanced position. Because human beings have limited cognition and ability, they can only describe it as The mystery is explained into idealism, feudal superstition, legend, or even myth
There was once such a great and vigorous era, the Great War of the Ancients, and the later Battle of the Gods. Did it exist? What does the hundreds of thousands of years of blank space in the history of human evolution really mean? Is the far-fetched explanation really reasonable
I admit that I think too much!
The boat swayed for a while, and it turned out that Monsoon had jumped onto the boat over there. While I was in a daze, the boat over there had already caught up.
"Hui Gen'er, I gave you the map. Follow the marks on the map and you will be able to enter the natural formation smoothly. I believe you will be able to come out alive! Take care!" Ji Feng stood on the bow of the ship and said loudly to us. , the boat over there has started to row, and they are going to start checking the formation one by one and repairing it!
Fortunately, someone has come to investigate before, and they generally know where the formations are damaged. I hope that the repair of the formation can alleviate the predicament of Hu Village. After all, once the formation comes into play, those ghosts will become natural as Uncle Zheng said. Are you attracted back
"Take care, too!" I stood on the bow of the boat and shouted to Ji Feng. At this time, Ji Feng's boat had already sailed far away. Ji Feng shook his hand at me, and I felt a little uneasy in my heart. I always feel that Monsoon and the others will not go so smoothly this time!
Watching them go away, I was silent for a while, then turned around and put my arm around Hui Gen'er's shoulders and said, "Boy, why are you so silent this time?"
"Brother, I don't know, I always feel a little nervous." Hui Gen'er began to row our boat, and then spoke to me again in a familiar Shaanxi accent. It is probably only when there are no outsiders, he can I speak in Shaanxi accent like I did when I was a child. It feels very familiar, but it also feels very far away.
"Don't be nervous, brother is here." I don't know how to comfort Hui Gen'er, let alone where his nervousness comes from. After all, he is not a child anymore. If he can explain the problem clearly, he will naturally explain it to me clearly. He couldn't explain the reason, so it was useless for me to ask.
I can’t even hug him like I did when he was a child, squeeze his cheeks, and say it’s okay, the matter is settled, and I’ll buy you a cake.
For a moment, we were silent. Hui Gen'er lowered his head and rowed, and suddenly said to me: "Brother, it's because you're here that I'm not so nervous. I just feel... I can't say it right!"
"It's okay!" My hands squeezed Hui Gen'er's shoulders tightly, as if this was the only way to convey strength to him. When he grew up, this was the way of a man.
Comparing the map, the boat moved smoothly in the water. Hui Gen'er told me that the seemingly large island in front was the entrance to the natural formation. Going around that island was the real Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
"Brother, that island looks dark." Hui Gen'er muttered in a low voice.
I frowned slightly. In fact, as Hui Gen'er said, although the island is shrouded in clouds and mist, it looks dark from a distance. There is no vegetation on the island, and I don't know if the vegetation is too dense, so Did this happen
Or is there another reason
I didn’t want to think too much, so I simply sat on the bedside. Very few humans enter the lake here. The water is very clear. If you look carefully, you can see the figures of swimming fish scurrying under the water. But the fish here are already Can't eat it? I tried hard to divert my attention, but after looking at it for a long time, I realized that there was something wrong with these fish. One of the fish jumped out of the water, and I found that the scales of this fish had a pale color!
This reminds me of what happened in the deserted village. In the surrounding villages, insects affected by the yin energy and resentment, could these fish be affected? Of course, with the protection of the large formation, these fish can only stay in this water area, and if they leave this water area, they cannot survive. Just like freshwater fish that are accustomed to fresh water, how can they live in sea water? They themselves will not leave these waters.
And this kind of pollution can probably only wait until it is slowly resolved in the future.
The sound of the paddle sliding on the water, the slightly rippling boat, and the quiet environment. I was very absorbed in thinking about this fish, but at this moment, there was a harsh gunshot. I looked up and saw a red streak. The signal flare pierced the sky, like a blooming firework, so conspicuous!
I suddenly came back from my meditation, and the only thing that caught my eyes was the bright red 'firework'. Then my back tightened involuntarily. I knew what this meant. I tried my best to calmly say to Hui Gen'er. To: "Paddle that way!"
Without my instructions, Hui Gen'er had already worked hard to row our boat in that direction. We are all familiar with this kind of signal flare. Judging from the color and direction of Hu Village's unique message transmission method, there is only one possibility. Ji Feng's Something happened.
The boat worked hard to row in the direction where the signal flare was raised. Fortunately, we were not separated for too long, only about fifteen minutes. Since they were exploring, they stopped and went, so it was not too far away.
But even so, my palms in my trouser pockets were sweating. Ji Feng is a simple and honest person. I definitely don’t want anything to happen to him. If something happens to them, I will definitely not be able to explain to Uncle Zheng. ah
Hui Gen'er was rowing extremely hard. Under Hui Gen'er's strange strength, the boat was like an arrow leaving the string and headed in that direction. Everyone knew that something was wrong. Lu Shan stood there The person next to me said: "Let Tao Bai do it. If there are no scruples about rowing here, he will be stronger and faster!"
Hui Gen'er snorted unconvinced, but I shook my head and said to Lu Shan: "No need, he is not familiar with it, and he may not be faster than Hui Gen'er."
While I was talking, I could already see a vague silhouette of a boat over there. I recognized it at a glance, wasn't it Ji Feng's boat? Apparently, they heard the sound of water and started paddling towards us. If you can row like this, it should be fine, right
I stared at the boat and felt a little relieved, but the next moment I was worried again. Could it be that there was some monster behind them chasing them
Any guesses are useless. Only by seeing the monsoon can we know what went wrong. Thinking like this, I tried my best to calm down. Since both parties were trying to get closer, in less than five minutes, the two boats Finally together, less than one meter apart!
This distance finally allowed me to see some things clearly. I saw that both the man rowing the boat and Ji Feng standing on the bow had tears in their eyes, with undried tears still hanging on their faces...
As for the reason, I knew it clearly the next moment. There were two corpses neatly placed on the bow of the boat. Their faces were pale, but there were many small wounds on their bodies for unknown reasons, and the blood that came out had solidified a little.
"They were still alive ten minutes ago." Ji Feng said to me in a dull voice, and then big tears rolled down from his eyes. He pointed at one of the corpses and said to me: "This is Xu Liangyong. , he has only been in the village for three years. Three years ago he was not satisfied with the arrangement of the sect, but in the past three years, he has been more active in doing things than anyone else. He has the most people on this lake, and he is a brave and good young man."
I listened in silence, looking at the pale young face, and felt sad in my heart.
Ji Feng pointed to another corpse and said: "This is Wei Xiaowa, the youngest child in our village. We call him Xiaowa and treat him as a younger brother! This kid is talented and is better at Taoism than us. No. To think that he died here."
As he spoke, Ji Feng squatted down, crying and unable to speak any more. Corresponding to Ji Feng's sad face were the two corpses that had become silent and could no longer speak.
Xiao Chengqian jumped over, helped Ji Feng up, and looked very depressed. Then he entered the large formation, and it was an outer formation. Two young lives had already died in ten minutes. No one felt uncomfortable, and no one would I feel sorry for these two young lives.
Because ten minutes ago, they were all still alive!
"The deceased is gone. Nothing can happen to the living. Let's talk about what's going on first, right?" Xiao Chengqian said to Ji Feng.
Ji Feng cried so hard that he couldn't breathe. After all, they are the guardians of a village and they have deep feelings for each other. After a while, Ji Feng said to us intermittently: "It's underwater, the problem is underwater!"
