Well of Mystery

Chapter 28 The Liar's Self-cultivation

Leaning on the corpse couch was a beautiful, beautiful woman.Her facial features are exquisite, not inferior to the dolls in Huayang's studio.

It's a pity that the skin of the woman's whole body is blue-purple, and black branch-like blood vessels can be seen under the skin.

This is a dead body, a beautiful female ghost who has died.

The ghost sits gracefully on top of piles of corpses.When the sound of breaking the door sounded, she immediately raised her head in astonishment.But Jiang Chenglu didn't even look at her, instead he cast his gaze below her waist——

The female ghost's hands are placed in front of her knees, hugging something.Jiang Chenglu took a closer look, and found that it was a huge reptile head, the black and dirty color almost mixed with the couch.

Nestled next to the woman turned out to be a half-dragon, half-snake creature.It had a single horn on its head, and its long and thin body as thick as a bucket was lying on the couch, its four claws drooping limply, its eyes closed tightly, lifeless.

Jiang Chenglu closed his eyes and opened them again, and immediately found that the ghosts floating on the water just now were kneeling around the corpse couch, opening their mouths to send the absorbed moonlight to this half-dragon, half-snake creature.

Seeing this, Jiang Chenglu understood everything.

"……It's you!"

The beautiful female ghost finally recognized that Jiang Chenglu was the one who spoiled her in the apartment last night.She stared at him tightly, her expression full of tension and guard.

Jiang Chenglu smiled easily: "You are an old god, right? Don't be nervous. I came here to find someone. Let that girl come out and talk. I have a message from her boyfriend."

Having said that, he pointed to the right side of the couch.A young female corpse is crawling in a distorted posture. It is Li Kun's ex-girlfriend Wang Qingzhi.

Of course, the female ghost on the couch couldn't do what he said, instead she sneered and said, "It's fine to talk, but why don't you become one of them, and you can talk for as long as you want!"

"Tsk tsk..."

Jiang Chenglu shook his head because of her arrogant tone, then pointed to the half-dragon, half-snake thing beside her and asked, "How did it become like this?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and asked in amazement: "What? Did you know it before?!"

Jiang Chenglu shook his head: "I don't remember if I recognize it or not. But if you haven't seen a pig walking, have you never eaten pork? I know what it should have looked like before."

Having said that, he actually took the initiative to take a few steps forward and came to the corpse couch.First, he waved his hand to show that he had no malice, and then he held down the tail of the half-snake, half-dragon creature.

"What do you want to do--"

The female ghost on the corpse collapsed screamed nervously, and at the same time, the corpses on the corpse bed also began to writhe frantically.

At this extremely tense moment, a white light suddenly appeared on Jiang Chenglu's fingertips, getting brighter and brighter, and soon spread to the tail he was holding.

Unbelievable changes have begun.

Just like polishing oxidized silverware, the originally black creature began to turn white little by little from the tail, and the pitch-black scales glowed with a mithril-like luster.

It's a pity that this change is only a flash in the pan, the white light dissipates quickly, and everything is swallowed by the turbidity again.

But the female ghost's attitude changed dramatically because of this glimpse.

"You can save him!" She almost screamed, "Hurry up and save him!"

"Let me save him." Jiang Chenglu, who had seized the initiative, talked about the conditions leisurely: "But you must first clarify what your relationship with him is."

The woman was stunned for a moment because of this question, and then turned her gaze back to the huge head she was hugging little by little, and there was a hint of tenderness in her blood-red eyes.

"Hmph, what does it matter if I tell you? I am the old god, a collection of resentful spirits who died in this swamp. And it is the water god of this swamp, Baijiao..."

The story of the old god and the white flood began hundreds of years ago.

At that time, it was not a wetland swamp, but a vast lake.Every spring, the flood surges and infects the village.The people in the nearby villages were ignorant and didn't know how to control the water. Instead, they put their hopes in the power of ghosts and gods and did crazy and terrible things.

In order to pray for peace, they actually began to sacrifice living people to the water god in the swamp.

Cuilian, an orphan girl in the village, was the first living sacrifice thrown into the water.But she did not drown when she sank into the water—on the contrary, she met Bai Jiao, the dragon god of this water lake, and they fell in love at first sight.

Cuilian, who was completely disappointed in her villagers, refused to return to the human world. She followed Baijiao back to the Dragon God's Water Mansion, where they stayed together like a couple of gods and spent decades of happiness.

However, for Bai Jiao, Cuilian's life is always short.But when the life of a mortal is over, she is unwilling to leave her lover and start a new life.

So Cuilian's dead soul chose to stay beside Bai Jiao and practice as a ghost fairy—this is the original old god.

In this way, the love between the dragon god and the woman became the relationship between the dragon god and the ghost.Fast forward hundreds of years, tens of thousands of days and nights are peaceful and beautiful, but it is a pity that there is no permanent banquet in the world, and this time it is Baijiao who is in danger.

Like many dragon brothers who quietly disappeared from the outside world, as the water source dried up and disappeared, Baijiao also weakened day by day, and finally could not maintain its human form.

When it lingered in the abandoned water temple with a weak body, Cuilian, who had been with her for hundreds of years, knew she had to do something.

"If possible, I would trade my life for his. Unfortunately, even I am just a ghost."

When she said this, the female ghost chuckled lightly, but on the corpse bed below her, countless mouths let out high or low sighs at the same time.

Since it is a ghost, the only way is to use ghosts to kill people and enslave ghosts to absorb Yin Qi to keep Bai Jiao alive, but Yin Qi has also eroded Bai Jiao into its current dirty and half-dead appearance.

Even so, Cuilian was reluctant to let go.

"I am a ghost and he is a dragon. Even if there is an afterlife, where should I go to find him? If I can't find him, what's the point of becoming a fairy or a Buddha?"

The female ghost's voice echoed in the empty stone hall, like a chuckle or a sigh.

After she finished speaking, it took a long time before Jiang Chenglu shook his head: "I sympathize with you, but you shouldn't impose your misfortune on others. Those people on the corpse bed have nothing to do with your love-hate entanglements , Let them go free as soon as possible."

"At least I have fulfilled my last wish for them before I die."

The female ghost Cuilian retorted: "If you hadn't stopped him, Wang Qingzhi's heartbroken man would have already been a corpse."

Jiang Chenglu couldn't laugh or cry; "Things are not what you think... You have stayed here for too long, and you don't know anything about human affairs outside."

"Then cure Bai Jiao and let us leave this place!"

Cuilian suddenly raised her voice: "I've told you what you want to know, now it's your turn to fulfill your promise!"

Responding to her voice, the couch also began to move around, and the twisted muscles and bones squirmed and rubbed against each other, just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.

But Jiang Chenglu was not afraid at all.

"I'm really sorry, but I actually lied to you just now." He said boldly: "Bai Jiao has been poisoned too deeply, even if he is rescued, he will still be a corpse. Why don't you quickly understand his life now? You two reincarnated at the same time, maybe Hundreds of years later, there will be a chance to meet again.

Now it was Cuilian's turn to be stunned.

Maybe he didn't expect this man to be so bold that he dared to lie to ghosts.She was silent for a while, then suddenly giggled again.

"It's okay, it's okay...as long as I take your life and turn you into a part of this couch, then all your power will be transferred to me. At that time, I can save Bai Jiao..."

"Take me down, do you think you can do it?" Jiang Chenglu also smiled with her, his pupils turned brilliant golden when he closed and opened his eyes.

Cuilian was obviously taken aback by this change, but she quickly regained her composure.

"I may not be able to do it alone, but you are already in the trap I set!"

"Oh?" Jiang Chenglu pretended to be surprised: "What kind of trap, tell me."

Cuilian sneered and didn't answer, but it was another person who answered him.

"A trap that makes you come and go."

Pu Wei Jing Lu Zhou appeared behind Jiang Chenglu.

He waved his hand, and all the partition doors closed automatically in an instant, and the stone palace became an airtight dark room.

"It's you?"

Jiang Chenglu glanced at Lu Zhou: "Don't tell me the story of a bloody love triangle. In order to save the sweetheart, he would give up crossing the catastrophe, but the sweetheart has another love... This kind of plot has really caught my attention these days. Really tired of hearing it."

Lu Zhou ignored his teasing, walked quickly to Cuilian's side, and then spoke again.

"500 years ago, Luzhou was just a seedling by the pool. It lived and died like a hurried passer-by in the world. It was Cuilian and Baijiao who took good care of me and cultivated me. I was kind to my biological parents. For them, Luzhou would go through fire and water. Do whatever you want!"

"What are you going through fire and water... I think you are a family of three who are obsessed with ghosts!"

Jiang Chenglu laughed dumbfounded: "Stop talking nonsense, how are you going to trap me?"

As if he didn't expect Jiang Chenglu to be so calm, Lu Zhou and Cuilian looked at each other, and responded: "I have set up a magic circle to bind in this stone palace. Unless Bai Jiao lifts it himself, no matter how powerful the magic power is, it will be impossible There is no way to crack it from the inside!"

"Huh? That's it?"

Jiang Chenglu's expression was almost disappointing: "If it can't be opened from the inside, then it can be opened from the outside? I said Xiao Luzhou, didn't you notice that there is one person missing?"

With his reminder, Lu Zhou realized that Jiang Chenglu was missing a person.It's hard to detect the dim light in the hall, but he could clearly feel Bai Xiuqi's body just now...

Jiang Chenglu's next actions answered Lu Zhou's doubts - he took out two identical kits from his pocket, hooked them on his fingers and dangled them.

"You gave us Puhuang, not for first aid at all. It has your breath on it, and you use it to monitor our whereabouts. So Bai Xiuqi simply gave me his sachet, and then found a place to hide Get up, you really thought he was still with me."

A trace of astonishment flashed across Lu Zhou's face, but he managed to stabilize his emotions and asked in a low voice, "You...how did you know?"

Jiang Chenglu shrugged his shoulders: "Do you know that humans now have a service called 'pollen concentration forecast'? Some humans are too sensitive to pollen. When I entered the cave just now, the little boss found it in the water and on the wall. The scattered cattail powder, but you clearly said that you have never entered the water temple, so it is obvious who is lying after such a comparison?"

Speaking of this, he sighed exaggeratedly on purpose: "The times are advancing, and nothing can be done by hiding in your own small world. If you want to deceive people, first of all, please keep pace with the times and have the ability to be a liar." Self-cultivation, understand?"
