Chapter Eighty-Five: A Sudden Sacrifice for Grandma

If what I see can't be believed, how can there be some things in this world that can make me completely believe in my own judgment? Looking at this scene in front of me, I smiled wryly, but I also have 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, but it is also limited, and it is not possible to see the world infinitely, many environments, coincidences and even objects can play visual games with humans.

Therefore, I sometimes wonder if Taoism seems to be 'backward' and 'ancient', but in fact it has come to a very early position, because human cognition and ability are limited, and can only explain the riddles about it as idealism, feudal superstition, legends, and even myths?

There was once such a vigorous era, the great war of the flood famine, and the later war of the gods, does it exist? What does the gap of more than 100,000 years in the history of human evolution illustrate? Is the far-fetched explanation really plausible?

I'll admit I'm overthinking!

The boat swayed a little, and it turned out that the monsoon had jumped onto the boat over there, and when I was in a daze, the boat over there had already caught up.

"Hui Gen'er, the map is given to you, according to the marks on the map, you can smoothly enter the natural array, I believe you will definitely be able to come out alive! Take care! "Monsoon stood on the bow of the boat over there and said loudly to us, the boats over there have begun to row, and they are going to start inspecting and repairing the big array one by one!

Fortunately, someone has also come to investigate before, and I roughly know where the formation is damaged, I hope that the repair of the big array can alleviate the plight of Lake Village to a certain extent, after all, once the big array plays a role, those ghosts will be naturally attracted back as Uncle Zheng said, right?

"Take care!" I stood at the bow of the boat and shouted at Monsoon, at this time, Monsoon their boat had already rowed far away, Monsoon shook his hand at me, my heart was a little uneasy, I always felt that Monsoon they would not be so smooth this time!

Looking at them in the distance, I was silent for a while, then I 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 the familiar Shaanxi dialect, it is estimated that only when there are no outsiders, he will speak the Shaanxi dialect like when he was a child, it feels very kind, but it also feels very distant.

"Don't be nervous, there's a brother." I don't know how to comfort Hui Gen'er, and I don't know where his nervousness comes from, after all, he is not a child anymore, and if he can explain the problem clearly, he will naturally explain it to me, and he can't tell the reason, so it's useless for me to ask.

I can't even hug him like he did when he was a child, pinch his face, and say it's okay, this matter is solved, brother will buy you a cake to eat.

For a while, we were a little silent, Hui Gen'er lowered her head and rowed, and suddenly said to me: "Brother, it's because of you that I am not so nervous, and I just feel that I can't say it well!" ”

"It's okay!" My hand squeezed Hui Gen'er's shoulder tightly, as if this was the only way to convey strength to him, that he had grown up, and that was the way men were.

Comparing the map, the boat was moving smoothly in the water, and Hui Gen'er told me that the seemingly large island in front of me was the entrance to the natural array, and bypassing that island was the real lake of ten thousand ghosts.

"Brother, that island looks dark and dreary." Hui Gen'er muttered quietly.

I frowned slightly, in fact, as Hui Gen'er said, although the island was shrouded in clouds and mist, it looked dark and dreary from a distance, and the island was not without vegetation, and I don't know if it was so dense that the vegetation was so dense that it formed such a scene?

Or is there something else?

I didn't want to think about it so much, so I just sat at the head of the bed, the lake here is rarely entered by humans, the lake water is very clear, if you look closely, you can find the figure of the swimming fish scurrying under the water, but the fish here are no longer edible? I tried to divert my attention, and after looking at it for a long time, I realized that there was something wrong with these fish, and one of the fish jumped out of the water, and I noticed that the scales of this fish had a miserable white color!

This reminds me of the matter of the deserted village, the surrounding villages, the insects affected by the yin qi and resentment, should these fish be? Of course, with the protection of the big array, these fish can only stay in this water, and if they leave this water, this fish will not survive, just like a freshwater fish that is used to freshwater, how can they live in seawater? They won't leave the waters themselves.

And this kind of pollution is estimated to have to wait for the future to slowly dissolve.

The sound of water waves sliding on the water surface of the oars, the slightly rippling boat, the quiet environment, I think the fish thing is very engrossed, but I don't want to At this time, there was a piercing gunshot, I looked up, a red signal flare pierced the sky, like a blooming firework, it was so conspicuous!

I suddenly came back to my senses from my contemplation, and all I saw was the bright red 'firework', and then my spine tensed involuntarily, I knew what it meant, and I tried to say to Hui Gen'er calmly: "Row that way!" ”

Without my command, Hui Gen'er has been rowing our boat in that direction with all her might, this kind of signal flare is familiar to us, the unique way of transmitting messages in Lake Village, judging from the color and direction, there is only one possibility, something happened to them in the monsoon.

The boat rowed hard in the direction of the flare rising, but fortunately we were not separated for too long, about fifteen minutes, because they were probing, and they stopped and stopped, not too far.

But that's it, the palm of my hand in my trouser pocket is also oozing sweat, Ji Feng is honest and upright, I definitely don't want him to have a little thing, they have an accident, I definitely don't want Uncle Zheng to explain it

Hui Gen'er rowed extremely hard, at this moment, under Hui Gen'er's strange strength, the boat was like an arrow from the string in that direction, everyone knew that something was wrong, Lu Shan stood beside me and said: "Let Tao Bai come, if there is no scruple about rowing here, his strength is greater, and his speed can be 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." ”

As I spoke, I could already see a vague shadow of a boat over there, and I recognized at a glance that it was not Monsoon's boat. It seems that when I heard the sound of water, I started rowing towards us, so I should be fine if I can row like this, right?

I stared at the boat, and my heart breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment my heart lifted again, could it be that there was some monster behind them chasing them?

Any guessing is useless, I can only see the monsoon to know what is wrong, thinking like this, I tried to calm myself down, because both sides were trying to get closer, in less than five minutes, the two boats finally came together, less than a meter apart!

This distance finally allowed me to see something clearly, and I saw that both the man rowing the boat and the monsoon wind standing at the bow of the boat were hazy with tears in their eyes, and there were still undried tears on their faces

As for the reason, I was already clear in the next moment, there were two corpses neatly placed on the bow of the boat, and their faces were pale, but there were many small wounds on their bodies for some reason, and the blood that came out had coagulated a little.

"They were alive ten minutes ago." Ji Feng said to me a little blankly, and then big tears rolled down from his eyes, he pointed to 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 sect's arrangement, but in the past three years, he has been more active than anyone else, he has come the most on this lake, and he is a brave and good guy." ”

I listened silently, looking at the pale young face, and my heart also began to feel sad.

Ji Feng pointed to another corpse and said: "This is Wei Xiaowa, the youngest child in our village, call him Xiaowa, and treat him as a younger brother!" This kid is talented, and he is better at learning Taoism than all of us, but I didn't expect him to die here. ”

As he spoke, Monsoon squatted down, crying and unable to speak, corresponding to Monsoon's sad face, the two corpses that had been silent and could no longer speak.

Xiao Chengqian jumped over, helped up the monsoon, and his expression was also very low, only then did he enter the big array, and it was the outer big array, and two young lives had died in ten minutes, and anyone felt uncomfortable, and anyone would feel sorry for these two young lives.

Because ten minutes ago, they were still alive!

"The deceased is gone, and the living can't have any more accidents, so let's talk about what's going on first, right?" Xiao Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Monsoon.

Monsoon cried a little breathlessly, after all, they were the guardians of a village, and they had a deep affection for each other, and after a while, Monsoon said to us intermittently: "It's underwater, the problem is underwater!" ”
