Well of Mystery

Thanks to the help of the two furry and wet cats, the rescue work in the cave was finally over before the seawater completely flooded the cave entrance.Everyone, including Huang Xiuqi, Li Mian, and Hua Yin, entered Bai Xiuqi's Hutian, and only Uncle Zong was left watching.

"You are so young, and you have already been able to materialize Hutian. Could it be that you were reincarnated from a fairy?"

To be honest, even Bai Xiuqi didn't know what category he was now, so he could only shake his head and urged Uncle Zong to leave here as soon as possible.

Ever since, the two of them rode on two big cats respectively, and Zong Shu gave an order and galloped towards the outside of the cave.

The feeling of riding a cat is not bad to be honest-probably because of the cushioning pads on the soles of cats, so the bumping feeling is much safer than riding a horse or riding a bicycle without air.The only more thrilling thing is that there is no reef or ground connection between Poseidon Cave and the beach.Therefore, big cats need to use a half-climbing method, nailing their sharp claws into the rock cracks and moving forward slowly.

In this way, after walking about 30 meters, I could already see the ghost ship that was dragged to the beach.A powerful spiritual force exudes from the top and bottom of the ship, and a soul fire that does not belong to humans can be vaguely seen flickering in the dark cabin.

On the whole ship, the most dazzling light appeared on the deck of the ship.That was Jiang Chenglu fighting with the monster.Because of the distance and the rain and fog, Bai Xiuqi couldn't see the details clearly, and felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

But he knew he couldn't go there yet, at least not until those people in Hutian were put down safely.

The big cats quickly climbed over the small half of the cliff and landed safely on the shallows.Immediately afterwards, he rushed to the administrative building on the hillside without stopping.

After arriving indoors, Bai Xiuqi opened the pot sky to ask the cats to help, and moved everyone out again, which was a sigh of relief.

Leaving Li Mian, Huang Xiuqi and the others to take care of the wounded, Hua Yin rushed to the hotel to join her brother and the others.Now that there is nothing to worry about, it's time to find Jiang Chenglu.However, Bai Xiuqi hadn't stepped out of the hall yet.I heard another gust of wind and rain roaring in the yard, and a tile-roofed house not far away collapsed.

"Don't go out, you're going to die!" Uncle Zong grabbed his arm: "If you want to live, go this way!"

In just a few hours.The underground passage of the administrative building was used for the second time.The two cats carried Bai Xiuqi and Uncle Zong quickly through the passage, and their good night vision allowed them to walk like flying.

During this few minutes of sneaking in, Bai Xiuqi seized the opportunity to ask about Uncle Zong's details.

"Well, I'm half a colleague with your Tao Chuan."

He threw out this sentence abruptly, and then added: "But he is a criminal policeman, and I am a member of the police dog brigade."

"..." Strange to say, Bai Xiuqi felt that he could really understand Uncle Zong's meaning.

Uncle Zong said that in fact, the space anomalies around Rose Fire Island were noticed by the relevant departments very early on.It's just that I haven't figured out the background and the law of the appearance of the ghost ship.During this time, he noticed that ghost ships appeared more and more frequently.At first, they suspected that Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu, who were new to the island, were playing tricks, and they were about to report the typhoon when it came.

Speaking of which, the underground passage came to an end.Drilling out to see, it is just behind the pillar of the Sea God Temple, the sea water is only an inch away from overflowing the entrance of the passage, and if it is a few minutes late.The consequences of the channel entering the water are disastrous.

After the two cats landed on the ground, they jumped directly onto the roof, and saw the ghost boat on the shore a hundred meters away, but Jiang Chenglu was nowhere to be seen.

"Maybe that thing was cheating and hid in the boat." Uncle Zong reminded.

In any case, the only way to know for sure is to go up and see.

----

Bai Xiuqi didn't really realize how huge this transport ship was until he got close.The rusted hull itself resembles a stranded prehistoric monster.And how many looted treasures are hidden in the belly of such a giant?

The big cat's claws rubbed against the hull, and the sound it made made one's scalp tingle. Fortunately, the climbing process was not too long, and they arrived on the deck soon.

The deck was in a mess, the flagpole and lifting pole were broken into several pieces on the ground.The remains of planks and broken iron were everywhere.Many of the marks are new, but many of the fragments also look old, apparently from when the ship went missing more than 70 years ago.

However, regardless of whether it is new or old, most of them were created by Jiang Chenglu.

This moment.Apart from the howling and raging typhoon, there seemed to be no other movement on the deck.Both the monster and Jiang Chenglu disappeared without a trace.Uncle Zong discussed with Bai Xiuqi, and each of them took a cat to search the bow and stern of the ship, and let the big cat follow the smell to report if there was any movement.

In the middle and back of the ship, there is a sunken entrance into the cabin, and the inside is dark and unrecognizable.Bai Xiuqi took a bold look inside and found bloodstains on the wall.

Could it be that Jiang Chenglu was injured? !

Not daring to think any more, Bai Xiuqi walked down the cabin in three steps at a time.Passing through a section of dark descending steps, there is actually a light coming from ahead.

The cabin is a bit more spacious than Bai Xiuqi imagined, and there are closed iron doors on the left and right sides.Judging from the style of the door, it should not be for human habitation.And the light came faintly from inside these iron gates.

It is soul fire.

The colorful and magnificent soul fires are faintly visible on both sides of the dark and gloomy corridor.It's easy to remind Bai Xiuqi of the night in Xuanjing's apartment.It's just that, under Jiang Chenglu's care, everything in Xuanjing Apartment seems to be in order, but here there is only desolation and dead silence.

Bai Xiuqi sighed in his heart, but at the same time he did not dare to relax his vigilance, and moved forward cautiously.He soon discovered that these iron doors had been painted with talisman marks, and the door gaps were also sealed with talisman paper, obviously not wanting anything inside the iron doors to escape.

But now, about [-]% of the iron gates are left open, and there are only some weird-looking boxes and wooden boxes left inside, but the real magical artifacts are nowhere to be found.

...Maybe it was taken back by Jiang Chenglu.

Bai Xiuqi walked and watched, and realized that he had already moved forward by 20 meters.But apart from the bloodstain at the beginning, no other fresh traces were found.

Do you want to continue?He was hesitating when he suddenly found that the big cat following him was gone.At the same time, something seemed to make a noise in the passage ahead.

big cat?Jiang Chenglu, that monster, or...

Bai Xiuqi casually grabbed a piece of wood as a self-defense tool, and with the other hand tightly grasped the five-element bead bracelet Jiang Chenglu gave him, then he held his breath and approached the source of the sound step by step.

And following his footsteps, some incredible things happened gradually.

It's getting brighter all around.The old incandescent filament on the top of the head glowed quietly, replacing the light of the soul fire little by little.

Fragments scattered on the floor flew into the air, piecing back where they fell off 60 years ago.The iron doors were closed one after another, and the torn seals were glued together automatically, emitting a golden light that ordinary people could not see.When the desolate feeling of the ruins faded, another chilling and tense atmosphere began to emerge.

There are footsteps behind.

Bai Xiuqi turned around in astonishment, and saw a group of Japanese soldiers approaching from the direction of the stairs, walking in the front was a man in a white coat with eyes, who didn't look like a soldier directly involved in the battle.

It was the man in white who was holding a strange piece of porcelain carefully.The base of the porcelain looks like an ordinary vase, but above the neck are piled up with dazzling sculptures - villains in ancient costumes, pavilions and palaces, mythical creatures such as dragons and phoenixes are piled up, and the towers are raised like high towers.

"Is it a soul bottle?!"

Li Kun once asked Bai Xiuqi to see some treasures, among which there were similar utensils.Those gorgeous and complicated piles represent the rich life of the dead in the underworld, that is to say, it is a ghost vessel.

Since it is a soul bottle, whose soul is it in?

That group of people turned a blind eye to Bai Xiuqi and just walked past him swaggeringly.Bai Xiuqi simply followed behind them, watching the soul bottle being placed in a special wooden box in a small room.The box was affixed with a seal again, which could not be called careless.

After the Horcruxes were placed, the Japanese soldiers prepared to leave.But at this moment, the hull suddenly began to shake violently!

what happened?Bai Xiuqi couldn't help but be astonished.Reason told him that the ghost ship was now stranded on the beach, and the current typhoon of this level was not enough for a giant like Han Dong.So what happened?

The Japanese soldiers who hadn't had time to leave also showed nervous expressions.The man in the white coat turned his head and said a few words to one of them, and the man ran out immediately as if he was going to inquire about the news.But a few seconds later, he ran back again.

There is no need to inquire, the instigator of the shock has already broken in.

"Jiang Chenglu!"

Bai Xiuqi was dumbfounded in astonishment.It is true that Jiang Chenglu was the one who rushed in all the way, but he was not exactly the Jiang Chenglu he knew now—the man in front of him was wearing a blue cloth robe, exuding awe-inspiring rage all over his body, and he was so powerful. It is impossible to look away.

Undoubtedly, the Japanese soldiers in front of him were not Jiang Chenglu's opponents at all, and they were dealt with in two or three hits.Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining man in the white coat also abandoned his plans and fled.

Jiang Chenglu did not chase after that person, but walked quickly to the wooden box where the soul bottle was placed.He tore off the seal two or three times to open the wooden box, and when he saw the soul bottle, he raised his hand and was about to smash it, but stopped abruptly at the last second.

"Xiuqi said that these are national treasures and should not be smashed..." he said to himself.

Children can be taught.

Bai Xiuqi nodded at the side.

So Jiang Chenglu took a little longer to remove the charm attached to the bottle, and then carefully opened the lid—only something glowing like a firefly flew out, and Jiang Chenglu immediately stretched out his arms and held it in his arms.

"I'll pick you up." Jiang Chenglu sighed, "Sorry for being late."
