The photograph is not dated, but judging by the age of the photograph, it is believed that it was taken at least a few decades ago.For decades, although it is deep in the mountains and there is no human intervention, at least there are changes in nature itself.The lake in the photo is not large, and it is not impossible that after a few decades, the water will turn into a dense jungle.In these photos, that lake is definitely the heart of everything.Grandpa gave me these photos, and in addition to telling me about the ghost town of Xudu, this lake must also be the core content.According to the location shown on the photo.Not far away is a ravine.After agreeing with the fat man, we decided to go down the mountain to check it, and the ravine should be connected with the lake.Walking down the mountain road, the weeds and trees here are very dense.It was not easy for me to walk with the fat man.The ravine seemed very close, but I walked in that direction for more than two hours.It wasn't until two hours later that the fat man and I were deep in the ravine.Judging from the bottom of the ravine, the lake is indeed not small.This place is much bigger than what we could see from standing near the cave above.However, the surrounding area is full of various plants, and I don't know where the lake has gone.The fat man and I searched everywhere along the bottom of the ravine, but found no valid clues.I thought that the water had fallen.Maybe there's a cave at the bottom of the lake that leads to another place.However, after searching for a long time, the sky gradually darkened, but there were still no effective clues.The fat man looked at a wooden stick from the side.The thickness of the egg, sharpen one end of the stick.I asked the fat man what he was doing with this, and the fat man said, "Komori, you see this place is at the bottom of the lake, and our feet are full of silt, which should be very fertile."
Fertile land should be lush with vegetation, but have you noticed that this is not the case here?
”I listened to the fat man and looked carefully at the plants around me.The weeds here do grow very thick, but the taller trees don't.As far as the eye can see, all the tall trees at the bottom of this large lake have dried up, indicating that the soil here is very thin."
Is there something at the bottom of this lake?"
I asked, suddenly feeling that the fat man's head was still very flexible."
Try it," said the fat man.The stick in his hand had been sharpened, and he had found a point to nail down.When it was about a meter down, the stick stopped nailing.Changed places and continued to nail like this.The result is still the same.I found a few more places, but I couldn't nail them down at almost the same depth.The tips of the sticks have become hairy in all directions, indicating that the entire bottom of the lake is very hard.But, beyond that.We didn't find any more clues.The time is getting later and later, and I was supposed to enter the capital city with the old man tonight, but now I came to this lake by mistake.There was no way out now, and the fat man and I thought about it, and still felt like the cave when we returned.No matter how dangerous it is, after all, that place is linked to Qingcheng.Only when you enter Qingcheng can you go to Xudu.Shuttling through the forest, all the way up, is very strenuous.Halfway up, the fat man waved his hand at me and said, "Fat man, I can't do it anymore, I have to rest for a while." ”I'm tired enough, and I haven't rested much, but Xiao Yin and Chen Jing's injuries are still spreading, I can't wait for the two of them to get more and more seriously injured Ah Summoning them out of the soul urn, Xiao Yin is slightly better, Chen Jing's soul body has become a little transparent, if it weren't for her red bead to maintain, I'm afraid it wouldn't work now.The fat man said at this time: "Xiao Sen, do you still have that black pill?"
the fat man reminded.It occurred to me that Black Impermanence Fan Wuxu had given me a black pill, which could effectively treat soul wounds.Although Xiao Yin and Chen Jing were both poisoned, the poison also caused damage to their souls after all.Maybe the black pill will work.I immediately took out the black pill from my backpack, poured out two pills, and gave Xiao Yin and Chen Jing one each.After Chen Jing took the black pill, the effect was still relatively obvious, and her soul body became stable.Xiaoyin has also improved.But the black pill can't heal their injuries, and I'm afraid that if they want to heal them, they will have to find a new antidote.After taking Chen Jing and Xiao Yin back into the soul urn, I called the fat man to continue to the cave.I stood up and was about to leave when I suddenly heard movement in the surrounding woods.I immediately became alert, and felt the dagger in one hand, and the spirit rune in the other, whatever it was, I would give it a blow when I came out.The fat man also held the dagger, and he whispered: "Xiao Sen, something is damn wrong, there are voices all around, we seem to be surrounded." ”I've heard that, too, but I don't know who the opponent is, so I'm not ready to surrender.The fat man and I were standing back to back, when suddenly I saw a huge black shadow flash behind the tree in front of me.It was fast, but I could see the outline of the dark shadow.They are exactly the same as the ghosts of the Living Inn, and it is not good to be surrounded by them."
Komori, find a way to break through and these guys.I'm afraid you and I are no opponents. ”The fat man said at this time, and I looked back, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.After discussing with the fat man, he finally decided to use the talisman array to send out a gap and escape first.Although those black shadows are not afraid of the attack of the rune array, the rune array will also have a certain deterrent to them, so you might as well give it a try.Seeing several huge black shadows rushing towards me, I quickly pinched out my fingers, bit my fingers, and drew talismans in the void.The fat man was on the sidelines, and he also recited the incantation, which made the red light from the rune circle brighter and brighter.With a shout in his mouth, the "Edict" sigil rushed out quickly.The black shadow was suddenly scattered by the red light.The fat man and I saw this as an opportunity and ran quickly towards the gap.However, within an hour of the sigil, the black shadows behind him immediately chased after him.The fat man and I came again on the rune array just now, but this time, it was the fat man who drew the rune, and I helped.Although it was not as powerful as just now, the golden rune array also had a strong deterrent effect on those black shadows, and those black shadows were scattered again.It's just that the black shadows that had just dispersed immediately gathered up and quickly chased after me and the fat man.I didn't expect the black shadow to be so clingy, and the fat man scolded.Biting two fingers, he drew different spells with both hands, and he was using two blood sacrifice runes at the same time.This rune array is very serious about the consumption of people's yang energy, and I am a little worried.Grab the fat man's arm.The fat man shook his head at me and said, "It's okay, it's nothing, it's just a little yang energy." ”After the fat man finished speaking, the two sigils in his hand had been quickly drawn.The two runes were like two huge shields smashing towards the black shadows that rushed over, the fat man's strength was very strong, and the runes were also full of masculinity.The two huge black shadows that rushed over collided directly with the fat man's sigil, and this time it was not just to bounce them away, but to directly scatter the two black shadows.The two black shadows turned into two black mist.Gradually, it disappears.The fat man and I breathed a long sigh of relief, turned our heads to look at the fat man, the fat man's whole face was shrouded in a cloud of black gas, and his face was very dark, which showed that he had a yin and yang imbalance, and the consumption of yang energy was too serious just now, and the yin energy had already gone up.I was taken aback and asked, "Fat man, are you okay like this?"
The fat man said listlessly: "It's okay, I can't die yet, fat man, I'll be fine when I come back to a bowl of yam king eight old hen soup." ”However, after he finished speaking, he stared at the place where the two black shadows disappeared just now, as if he had found something.I also looked over there, but the fat man patted me on the shoulder and said, "Komori, don't look at it, get out of here quickly." ”I nodded, and ran forward with the fat man, running some distance, I looked back, and found that the black fog that had just dissipated behind me was rapidly condensing at this time, and the other black shadows that had been left behind were also chasing after me.Seeing this, I didn't dare to delay any longer, and rushed forward quickly.The road was tortuous, anyway, there was no road on the mountain, and the fat man and I ran aimlessly, as long as we could avoid those dark shadows.Running to a bush and hiding in it, the fat man immediately took out the compass and took a picture of the surroundings, but fortunately there was nothing unusual.The fat man and I lay directly on the ground, panting heavily, the ground was full of rotten leaves, and it was very comfortable to lie on.However, as soon as I took a breath, I saw that the compass that the fat man had thrown on the ground was like crazy, and it was spinning rapidly and irregularly
