Mysterious recovery

late at night.

Outside Taiping Ancient Town.

Feng Quan carried the two corpses wrapped in sheets, and followed Boss Liu of the hotel to a wasteland by the river outside Taiping Ancient Town.

This wasteland is full of weeds, and the weeds grow extraordinarily lush, taller than a person, and lush. On the other hand, the weeds in other places are short, thin, and sluggish. I don’t know if this wasteland is fertile or because it is close to the river. The reason is that the edge water is abundant.

"Here, this is it." Boss Liu stopped.

In the dark night, his reflection pulled the old man, and the dim oil lamp flickered at the moment, and finally brought Feng Quan here.

This is a burial place.

In the past, it was often called a mass grave.

"Dig a hole and bury these two corpses here."

Boss Liu pointed to an open space with fewer weeds in front.

Feng Quan's numb eyes turned slightly: "Are all the people who died in the town buried here? No wonder the weeds grow so lush in this wasteland, but one after another, some people died and some disappeared, so there is no Attention?"

"What is Taiping Ancient Town, don't you know? What do you think ordinary people can find out when they come here?" Boss Liu smiled: "Don't you want to know the secrets here? If you help me do things, I can tell you. Some for you."

"I want to know more about Ghost Lake, how much do you know?" Feng Quan didn't expect the boss to be so direct, and he took the initiative to mention it without asking around.

fair enough.

Save time beating around the bush.

Immediately, Feng Quan threw the two dead bodies on the ground, picked up the old shovel in his hand and dug a hole on the ground, preparing to bury the bodies of the couple in this wasteland.

Although these two people are very innocent.

But that’s the way it is with the supernatural, someone always dies.

Feng Quan was used to life and death, and to him two dead bodies were very rare. Compared with a real supernatural event, only two people died, which was considered a very small number of casualties.

When a supernatural event broke out outside, dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people died every time.

Although the weird shovel stained with soil is a supernatural item, it can also be used to shovel soil, and it will not produce special supernatural phenomena.

"Ghost Lake."

Holding the oil lamp, Boss Liu found a place with little grass and squatted down. He took out a pack of cigarettes from nowhere, lit them skillfully, and took a deep breath.

After exhaling a smoke ring, Boss Liu said slowly: "This matter has to start with a coffin, which is a black coffin placed in the back hall of the ancestral hall in Taiping Ancient Town... It has been decades since this matter has passed It has to start from when I was a child, although things have passed for a long time, but there are always a few memorable things in my childhood."

"That coffin is one of them."

Feng Quan stopped digging for a while, and looked at Boss Liu; "What's so special about that coffin? Is there a ghost inside?"

Boss Liu said: "The coffin has been placed in the ancestral hall since I can remember. I don't know how long the coffin has been there. It is probably an old coffin from the Republic of China. I don't care too much, after all, in the ancient town at that time, every household had the habit of preparing a coffin."

"Until one day, when I went out to pee at night, I accidentally came to the ancestral hall, and vaguely heard a woman crying."

"There are many taboos in Taiping Ancient Town. One of them is not to go out in the dark. The second taboo is not to enter the ancestral hall at night... I committed two taboos that day. I was attracted by crying and entered the ancestral hall over the wall, and I was curious. , which girl is crying at night."

Boss Liu continued, smoking a cigarette; "I followed the cry to the back hall of the ancestral hall, and I saw an old black coffin."

"There is no doubt that the crying came from the coffin, and there was a puddle of water around the coffin, which seemed to be tears from the people in the coffin."

"Maybe it was because I was young and ignorant, or maybe it was just a moment of curiosity. I thought there was a girl locked in the coffin, so I wanted to open that coffin and rescue that person."

"Have you opened it?" Feng Quan asked, putting down the shovel.

Boss Liu smiled and said: "No, I tried to lift the lid of the coffin, but I was stopped by someone I didn't know. I still remember the appearance of that person. He was wearing a black gown with wrinkles on his face. A lifeless old man, he stopped me and persuaded me to leave with a smile."

"I was a little confused at the time, and left in a daze. Later, I realized that there was no girl locked in the coffin behind the ancestral hall. I heard from the elders that it was an empty coffin, which had been left there for a long time. And there are no old people in long gowns in the ancestral hall at all."

"And this is the first time I know the secrets of the town, and it is also the first time I have set foot in the spiritual circle."

Speaking of this, Boss Liu felt a little emotional.

"What happened after that?" Feng Quan continued to dig a hole, listening to Boss Liu telling about his strange experiences in the past.

Boss Liu said: "Later, for a period of time, the woman's cry came from the ancestral hall. I could hear it very clearly every night. I didn't know what it meant at that time. I only knew that one day, Taiping Ancient Town Some of the old people made a decision to transport the coffin out of the ancestral hall, just like today's scene, and find a place to bury it."

"Buried? Where is it buried?" Feng Quan keenly sensed that the place where the coffin was buried was the source of Brewing Ghost Lake.

Boss Liu squinted his eyes while smoking a cigarette and said: "Buried in a supernatural place beyond reality, where the living cannot set foot, the coffin was transported away by a black boat. No one knows where the coffin was transported. All I know is that after that night, Taiping Ancient Town no longer heard cries, and everything returned to peace."

"The black boat? What is that?" Feng Quan asked.

"The older generation said that it was a ghost ship to send the dead away. If the living people boarded the ship, they would never be able to come back. But this is just a story, and it is used to deceive children. I don't believe it." Boss Liu said Time to show a smile.

The smile was a little weird, as if thinking of something special.

"The reason why the living can't come back is because they don't want the living to come back in a boat, because there is a ghost on the boat. As long as they take the boat, they will suffer from the curse of the ghost, and they will suffer from unknown and dangerous situations. There is no way for anyone to avoid it, so Strictly speaking, it is not wrong to say that it is a road of no return.”

Feng Quan's expression moved slightly: "If there is a ghost on board, shouldn't it be enough to imprison that ghost?"

"Maybe that ship is the ghost."

Boss Liu glanced at him: "Young people always think things are so simple, do you think the boat that can take away the dead is common? Forget it, we won't talk about the boat, let's talk about the ghost lake you are interested in. .”

"Actually, I've heard about Ghost Lake before you came here. The moment I heard the news, I immediately thought of the black coffin that was transported away... So many years have passed, if there is a situation , it is estimated that it will almost happen.”

"I just didn't expect that the coffins carried away by the ghost boat would eventually form a ghost lake, and even affect the outside."

Feng Quan frowned: "So, this is the truth about Ghost Lake? Didn't you say before that Ghost Lake got out of control because too many ghosts were imprisoned?"

"I'm talking about the cause of the ghost lake, not the function of the ghost lake. What those people did with that coffin was beyond what I, a child, could know at the time." Boss Liu said.

"I slowly deduced and guessed about the role of Ghost Lake's detaining ghosts later."

"So that's the case." Feng Quan nodded.

That makes sense.

This Boss Liu is just a witness, not a participant.

"So, finding the coffin and dealing with the ghost in the coffin will solve the Ghost Lake incident?" Feng Quan said again.

"Things are not that simple..." Boss Liu said, he turned his head and looked along the small river into the distance.

It was pitch black in the distance, and there was nothing, only a little light on the river surface could be vaguely seen.

"If the ghost in the coffin was so easy to deal with, the old man would not have transported the coffin away. The so-called use of the ghost lake to imprison the ghost is definitely not the best choice, maybe it is just a forced and helpless choice. , otherwise the ghost lake should have been formed long ago."

Then Boss Liu expressed his concerns.

Feng Quan was silent. He had already dug the hole, which was very deep and not easy to find.

The rustling sound continued to sound in this weedy wasteland.

Two dead bodies began to be buried.

And in the ghost lake.

Yang Jian, who sank to the bottom of the lake like a sculpture, did not sink forever in this cold and dark lake.

With the passage of time, the cold and numbness on his body gradually faded away. This feeling is not a physical feeling, but a kind of spirituality and suppression that are constantly weakening. No, the spiritual power in the ghost lake is not there. Weakened, but the influence on oneself is getting smaller and smaller.

This change is very strange, people can not tell.

But at least, Yang Jian can now open his ghost eyes to see everything at the bottom of the lake, and his hands and feet are gradually able to move.

I believe that as long as this change continues, Yang Jian will be able to recover his mobility in the lake.

"I can wait, but Ah Hong and Li Jun can't wait any longer. This operation has just begun, so it can't be damaged too much. The most urgent task is to find a way to save Ah Hong's life. As long as Ah Hong does not die, Li Jun will not die." will die, this operation is not considered a failure.”

Now that Yang Jian is getting a little better, he is thinking about how to reverse the situation.

He felt that he had to find a way to protect Ah Hong.

But what can I do now?

Ghost eyes turned.

At the bottom of the lake, besides the black coffin with one corner open, Yang Jian also saw a red-painted cupboard in the mud in an inconspicuous corner.

That's... a ghost closet.

The ghost cabinet was sinking obliquely in the mud at this moment, as if stuck in it, unable to get out.

"What the hell is this ghost cabinet? Its curse can actually extend to the ghost lake." Yang Jian wondered.

It seems that the appearance of the ghost cabinet reminded him that even in this kind of place, the transaction can still continue.

"Do you want to take advantage of the fire and let me start a new round of transactions at this time?"

He gradually understood the idea of ​​the ghost cabinet.

In such a desperate situation, it is indeed very easy for people to urgently want to seek help.

But Yang Jian was very calm, not even panicking at all.

Even if he is trapped here, he can survive here for a long time, and there will be no threat of death in a short time.

now.

Yang Jian's hands and feet regained some movement again, and he found that he could walk slowly under the water.

After being able to move, his mind became active again.

"I don't need the ghost cabinet to protect myself, so it's very irrational to start a transaction, but if I use the ghost cabinet, I may be able to save Ahong now, as long as I save Ahong and Li Jun, after I resume operations Everything will be fine, without Li Jun's will-o'-the-wisp connecting Ping'an Building, it would be very difficult for me to leave here."

Yang Jian continued to stare at the ghost cabinet not far away.

After a short thought, he thought of a special method.

A method that can use the ghost cabinet to help him save Ah Hong without opening a deal.

Yang Jian couldn't move his hands and feet flexibly, but his body was light underwater and he still had a little mobility.

He tried his best to get closer to the ghost cabinet, and at the same time took out a sticker on his body.

This is a wish sticker. Write a wish on the sticker and your wish will come true. It was obtained from the little girl named Zhao Ya before.

"In the ghost lake, the effect of the wish sticker will probably be invalid, but if I write down the wish to save Ah Hong, and then send it to the ghost cabinet, then the ghost cabinet can block the influence of the ghost lake. It works, and once the wish stickers work, the wish stickers conflict with the ghost closet deal."

"At that time, will the ghost cabinet deal work, or the wish-fulfilling stickers work? Or will both be affected and not work?"

This is a paranormal hedge.

It was also the only way Yang Jian could think of to save Ah Hong.

As long as this step is successful, then he can quietly wait for himself to fully resume his actions, and then get rid of the influence of the ghost lake and return to the lake.

"As for the coffin, I can't take care of it for the time being. I don't have the ability to touch the coffin that is suspected to be the source of Ghost Lake."

While approaching the ghost cupboard, Yang Jian glanced at the black coffin again.

Some kind of connection and feeling is getting deeper and deeper.

He knew that he was only able to resume his actions due to the influence of the things in the coffin, otherwise Yang Jian would be like everyone else floating in the water and unable to recover.

Actually.

What Yang Jian didn't know was that he wasn't being influenced by the ghost in the coffin.

But in the world of memory, he defeated the ghost that invaded the memory, and is currently controlling the ghost in the ghost domain.

No.

Strictly speaking, this is not control, because the ghost is still in the ghost lake, not on Yang Jian.

But Yang Jian has gradually possessed the supernatural power of Ghost Lake.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to call this stealing.

Yang Jian is constantly stealing the supernatural power of Ghost Lake in a way that he doesn't even know.

As for the limit of stealing, no one knows.

Chapter 77 Spiritual Conflict

The ghost cabinet is obviously not as simple as an ordinary supernatural item.

The curse of the ghost cabinet is also different from other curses, even under the ghost lake, it still exists.

And can continue to open transactions.

Yang Jian originally thought that it was impossible to continue the transaction with the ghost cabinet during the ghost lake incident, but under this situation, he had to start the transaction to save Ah Hong's life, so as to save Li Jun and reverse the situation.

But he didn't make the trade directly.
