Chapter 38 New Journey

【Jiao Hai】

As expected, Qin Huaizhen still couldn't hold on. Although it was still Lixia, the sea water at this time was freezing cold, and his whole body felt like being pricked by needles.

Unceasingly, the water showed its pervasive power, crazily got into Qin Huaizhen's mouth and nose, and the salty and bitter sea water poured into his mouth. While waving, he gradually became unable to perceive the existence of his arm, and what he got in return was numbness accompanied by soreness.

This is not the first time he has experienced this kind of "purgatory". Every time he is on the verge of death, he will think about struggling, as if the heavens are very happy to play with him, and countless times of torture have caused him to be displaced countless times.

He thought that he was a son who didn't care about anything, that he had no worries about food and clothing, and would always have what he wanted, women, money, and best friends.

Now, woman?You are all empty about yourself, when did you forget to find Xu Qian?When she confessed herself?No, he doesn't remember, he just doesn't feel interested.

money?Does he need it?

Best friend?Now he has lost even his best friend, he doesn't care what Chu Yuechen thinks of him, now he just hopes that he will be safe.

What else?What regrets?Why did I have this kind of revolving thought? It was probably because I was really going to die this time, but it seemed good to die in this kind of place, and my parents would not have to collect the body for me.

Qin Huaizhen closed his eyes, and began to fall down in despair, his frown slowly relaxed and returned to normal, he suddenly felt his waist was gently embraced by a hand, he opened his eyes, his eyes were blurred, water soaked into him eyes hurt.

He could clearly feel that he was hooked by a stable force, and his cold and numb face suddenly felt warm. It was a warm hand that brushed his floating hair behind his ears, and held his Face.

Yan Qing's emerald green eyes opened slightly, and the goose yellow clothes were a little loose. He wrapped his arms around Qin Huaizhen's waist, and even with a blurred vision, he could still see Qin Huaizhen's pale face. He couldn't help frowning, and gently brushed Qin Huaizhen's hand hair strands.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time.

Yan Qing held Qin Huaizhen's face in his hands and kissed it. Qin Huaizhen's slightly soft and thin lips pressed against Yan Qing's lips. There was a strange feeling, and Yan Qing might have forgotten it at the time.

Qin Huaizhen's hands unconsciously grabbed Yan Qing's clothes, holding them tightly.

Yan Qing's golden hair fluttered and wrapped them around them, like gold that had been hidden in the ocean for a long time.

A country that has been submerged in the sea for a long time, ghosts regard them as treasures, and one day their only wealth is exposed.

So beautiful, so voyeuristic.

【Jiao Haixia】

Qin Huaizhen dreamed that when he was young, he accidentally stepped into a ditch, and when he thought of the sharp stones covered with green moss, which were about to scratch his skin, his legs twitched involuntarily.

When he opened his eyes all of a sudden, his eyes still hurt, and his face was also very uncomfortable. When he touched it with his hands, there were still some grain-sized sand and stones sticking to his face, which made his face hurt.

It was pitch black in front of him, but he could vaguely see some huge buildings and heard the sound of splashing water. Qin Huaizhen groped around and only found some wet stones.

"Huaizhen, you finally woke up." A familiar voice came.

"Chu Yuechen?" Qin Huaizhen asked cautiously with a hoarse voice.

"Well, it's me."

"How did you get here?"

"Just like you, he fell into the crack we saw and landed here." Chu Yuechen's voice was very flat.

"Oh."

Qin Huaizhen rubbed his head. He felt unwell all over his body, especially in his head. Explosive pain was coming, and he couldn't help covering his head.

"Tell me the reason. Why did you push me down? Seeing how I cooperated with you just now, you have to give me a reason."

Qin Huaizhen was a little confused by the question, and laughed when he heard this sentence, and said, "Then you mean that I can't push you anymore?"

"You are young and poor, just you now, I can hit ten of them one by one." Chu Yuechen said.

"Li Guihe has also come down." Qin Huaizhen said.

"What? Where is he now? Where is he? He can't swim!" Chu Yuechen almost jumped up, but Qin Huaizhen couldn't see in the darkness.

"You also know that he can't swim?" Qin Huaizhen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"He's with Yan Qing, he won't get hurt, let's go out first." Qin Huaizhen stood up and tried to get close to those big buildings.

"Yan Qing, is that musician reliable?" Chu Yuechen expressed doubts.

Qin Huaizhen smiled and said, "He will."

Although it was dark here, they could actually see the blurred outlines of some buildings, and the most important thing was that there should be a relatively large river nearby, and the sound of rushing water clearly echoed in their ears.

Qin Huaizhen quickly touched a huge building and walked around it. It was a stone wall and felt very damp.When I walked forward, I touched a handle-like thing, which should be carved.

It's so familiar, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, Qin Huaizhen grabbed him and pulled it down. As expected, it was a doorknob. The door opened in response to the sound, and there was a musty smell from inside.

He had indeed been to this place.

After thinking for a while, Qin Huaizhen closed the door, and before Chu Yuechen could ask, he replied: "There is nothing inside, even if there is, you will feel sick when you look at it, so just wait outside."

"how do you know?"

"I've been here."

After Qin Huaizhen finished speaking, he heard a chime and the familiar sound of a bronze bell. It seemed that it was the hour, and he wanted to see where the boat was going today.

"What is this?" Chu Yuechen was a little surprised.

A bright light came in front of me, and the red light emitted by the lantern paper faded away, illuminating the room next to it. There was a hint of abandonment and eerie silence here, and the light from the lantern even dyed a wave of secretive.

Sure enough, it was the houses that Qin Huaizhen and Yan Qing had seen before, and this was the place where they separated last time.

Oncoming is a huge merchant ship, accompanied by the strange sound of bells, and the heads of the ships in the distance are exposed. They are a group of servant boys with lead powder on their faces, and their eyes are empty, looking this way.

As the boat approached slowly, Qin Huaizhen pulled Chu Yuechen past him and hid in the house behind.

"What the hell are these?" Chu Yuechen was puzzled.

"Didn't you want to ask me what I saw in the Moon Crescent River? How about it? Seeing it with my own eyes is much more vivid than what I can explain." Qin Huaizhen said with a smile.

"There is the Crescent River, but here is the Jiaohai..."

"They repaired a very long underground river." Qin Huaizhen said.

"Underground channel?"

"It's too late to explain. You must board the boat when the meeting arrives." Qin Huaizhen seemed a little impatient.

Chu Yuechen shut up and didn't ask any more questions, quietly waiting for the boat to come.

The strange thing is that as soon as the boat approached Qin Huaizhen's place, the little heads on the side stood up and began to shake continuously, just like when they saw it on the Moon Crescent River, every shake was very hard, and The frequency is high, and it feels like the head is likely to be detached from the neck next time.

Qin Huaizhen frowned, didn't think much, pulled Chu Yuechen and ran forward, the light of the red lantern didn't illuminate the surroundings, the surroundings were still pitch black, and the air was filled with thick moisture, making people smell very uncomfortable .

Under the protection of the darkness, they ran under the hull, and there was indeed a hemp rope net on it. After Chu Yuechen jumped on it, he pulled Qin Huaizhen past him, and the two climbed up after they stood firm.

They deliberately walked around to the back of the boat and climbed up cautiously. Qin Huaizhen revealed a pair of eyes and saw that there were no prostrate servants around, so he gestured to Chu Yuechen to lift himself up.

Qin Huaizhen jumped up, and the sound of landing was very soft. When he reached the deck, he turned around and pulled Chu Yuechen up.

"Come with me."

Qin Huaizhen whispered, and tiptoed forward to explore the way, Chu Yuechen walked behind and couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, when did this kid become so childish.

They quickly found the wooden plank next to the deck, which was movable, and when they pushed it away, it turned out to be a long corridor with some light at the end.

"Are we really going in?" Chu Yuechen said in a low voice.

"Of course, they're here."

Qin Huaizhen walked forward self-consciously, leaning to the side as much as possible, the surroundings felt rough, but the lines were thick and neat, as if something had been carved.

The end was not far away, and they arrived soon. They saw a layer of dim candlelight outside, and there was a smell of tall sticks of incense from time to time.

Qin Huaizhen moved closer to the window lattice, easily pierced the greased paper on it and looked inside.

What caught the eye was two pillars of burning incense, and beside it was a puddle of red wax that had just condensed.

There was a woman sitting on a stool, with black gauze covering most of her face, revealing a vermilion lip, and holding a stick of incense smoking gray in her pale and bony hands.

Next to her was a large pool against the wall, surrounded by small people in black ponchos, who were lying face down on the ground.

The big pool was full of dark and greasy things, and the vision was too narrow to see what it was, but there were scattered and broken eggshells floating on it, and some red viscera that hadn't melted into it.

The woman in the black cloak held up the incense stick, her outstretched hand was wrapped in a thick black cloth, she shook her hand left and right, and there was a sound around her.

"Holiness is gone, and the soul is abandoned. From now on, everything is the past."

Such voices began to repeat over and over again, pervading every corner.

Chu Yuechen heard the sound, patted Qin Huaizhen and said, "Hey, let me see."

Qin Huaizhen took a step back and let Chu Yuechen step forward.

"Isn't this the woman we saw in the Moon Crescent River?" Chu Yuechen whispered.

Qin Huaizhen felt that something was wrong, so he quickly pulled Chu Yuechen away and looked in. Sure enough, the white-haired woman was standing on the edge of the pool. Her whole body was snow-white, and her waist was covered with ulcerated rashes. It seemed that this time it was more serious than before. .

The direction of the rash growth was like a water snake, encircling her waist, and then to the back of the shoulders, slowly tightened, and pus flowed out. Everywhere the pus touched, a bright blister would appear again, which looked extremely disgusting.

She stood by the pool and looked at the woman holding incense, and said anxiously, "Can I really go outside this time?"

The woman stood up with a smile, and she walked slowly with a graceful figure. She swept Gao Xiang over her face, leaned close to her ear and said something. Jump into the pool.

There was no splash of water, only a muffled sound, as if falling into freshly burnt wax. The thick and viscous liquid slowly rose and fell due to the entry of a person, and gave off an unstoppable stench.

The woman showed her face, her body was covered with a layer of dark yellow grease, her face was covered with countless insect limbs, rotten vegetable stems, and even some dead leeches stuck in the gaps.

The surrounding voices suddenly became louder, and the men in black capes crawling around began to kowtow to the woman continuously, and the voices continued to grow louder and louder.

"Are we entering the den of the leader of the cult?" Chu Yuechen felt a little puzzled.

Qin Huaizhen didn't speak. He looked at the woman holding high incense. She always gave him a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't put it into words.

Suddenly, the woman turned around, very slowly, as dumb as a wooden gear, her face could not be seen clearly, it should be covered with a thick cloth, but Qin Huaizhen could still feel it clearly.

watch.

"Let's go out."

Qin Huaizhen retreated all of a sudden, turned around and walked out.

Chu Yuechen followed behind quietly, came out and sat on the boat.

Qin Huaizhen straightened out his thoughts and said, "Do you still remember the first time we saw that woman in the Crescent River?"

"Yeah, I'm all dirty, I don't even have any clothes on."

"This matter may have something to do with us."

"why?"

"She came to us on purpose that day, or in other words, it was an earlier premeditation."

Chu Yuechen stared at Qin Huaizhen with a puzzled expression.

"Why does your brother Guan Shun want blood, and this woman just shows up and dances there pointlessly? What role does she play? Why does she know my name for no reason? These are all myths, and I'm sure , soon, when they move to the next step, our life will not be so easy." Qin Huaizhen's tone was a little serious.

"You mean, this matter may have something to do with the King of Chu?"

"Could he be the premeditator?" Qin Huaizhen asked suddenly.

"I don't know the details... But what is certain is that he will never play tricks and waste money by doing things like religious rituals." Chu Yuechen also had some conflicts, but he himself didn't know.

"Do you know what that white-haired woman does?" Qin Huaizhen asked suddenly.

"I've only seen it once. About Guan Shun's things, I heard him talk about the others from time to time."

"Have you had contact with him?"

"Rarely, it should have been three years since the last time I spoke to him."

"You know that those people will die, and you have known for three years?" Qin Huaizhen frowned, he didn't care about those people's lives, but this was not Chu Yuechen's style.

"When I listened to him, I never heard of death, and I don't want to interfere with his affairs." Chu Yuechen replied.

Qin Huaizhen didn't reply, but looked outside, the boat had been sailing for a long time, he looked up to the sky, it was foggy.

Qin Huaizhen seemed to have seen something, and suddenly smiled and said, "Chu Yuechen, Chu Yuechen, I thought you were so kind."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm thinking, why we are best friends is probably because you are so similar to me, and you only like to protect yourself at critical moments."

Just as Chu Yuechen was about to ask Qin Huaizhen what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, he saw an unbelievable scene.

On the lawn next to him, Li Guihe knelt there, his mouth was covered with a cloth, his eyes were fixed on him, and Yan Qing picked up his dagger and pointed it at Li Guihe's head.

Chu Yuechen's brain buzzed, and when he realized it, he was already spinning in the air, and he was about to hit the ground.

But it was too late, Li Guihe's head fell to the ground as Yan Qing raised his saber.

"Fuck you, I'm going to kill you!!!" Chu Yuechen almost subconsciously drew out his sword and stabbed at Yan Qing.

But Yan Qing dodged nimbly and dodged skillfully, with a contemptuous smile on his lips.
