Chapter 703 The ceremony Han Fei participated in
“Are these all the survivors in the resort?”
Han Fei looked at the nine old people gathered at the door of the hot spring hotel, frowning Wrinkle, he originally wanted to rely on the strength of the young people in the village, but now it seems that he can't hope for it.
Han Fei touched the bodies of those old people with his palms, and used it to touch the secrets deep in their souls and pry into their hearts.
All the surviving old people in this village are troubled by nightmares, and their souls are filled with regret, worry and fear of curses.
"They probably didn't lie." By touching the secrets deep in their souls, Han Fei saw the old people's true thoughts. They were not in the same group as Meng, they were just a group of poor victims.
If Meng intends to use countless people's lives and years to refine a pot of medicine, then these old people with half their feet in the coffin are the dregs of the medicine, and they are not within the scope of Meng's consideration.
“Are you really willing to risk your life to help us?” Guan Miao is the oldest in the village. He knows how terrifying the things hidden in the lake are. Now it is almost certain to die if you land on the island.
“This city has changed. After the sun sets, it may never rise again. We will face a long night in the future, and the monsters in the lake will become stronger in the darkness. Terrified." Han Fei returned the old man's turban: "I know you are also victims, so I hope you can complete the ritual again with me and save other people in the village. There should be your family and friends among us."
"But to complete the ceremony, we need a statue of a god and an orphan who grew up eating hundreds of meals. There are still many things to prepare." The old lady from the fish restaurant was also present. She is not a bad person per se, but her mind is a little abnormal now. If she continues to be tortured by nightmares, she will probably choose to jump into the lake to reunite with her children.
"There is a statue of God under the ship's big bed. I grew up in an orphanage. We have met all the conditions you mentioned." Han Fei looked calm. He had already made up his mind to land on the island tonight.
Several old people looked at each other. They are all the oldest generation in the village. They have participated in many ceremonies and know these things very well.
"Okay, since you are willing to help us, then we will do our best to keep you safe." Guan Miao communicated with the old lady at the fish restaurant for a while, and then waved to Han Fei: "You follow me Come. ”
They crossed the hot spring hotel and came to a place behind it that was not open to tourists, where a very ancient ancestral hall was built.
“I’m here to help you invite the Lake God.” Guan Miao, who has an ugly and ferocious face, is no longer a human in appearance, but the blood passed down by his ancestors still flows in his soul: “Light the incense! Bring out all three animals!”
After pulling off their headscarves, Guan Miao and several elderly people knelt down to worship their ancestors in the ancestral hall, and then poured the ashes from the incense burner into the weird statue of the lake god.
The village was almost extinct, but Guan Miao and the others were unable to save themselves and were unable to change the situation. The appearance of Han Fei gave them a little hope, so after a brief discussion, they decided to help Han Fei with all their strength.
Everything was kept simple. After worshiping their ancestors, several old people worked together to bring out the statue of the lake god. They held various sacrificial things in their hands and sang weird short songs.
The old people moved the statue from the ancestral hall to the boat rental center closest to the lake and placed the statue on a special wooden boat.
The front end of the ship is carved into a fish head, the back end is carved into a fish tail, and the hull is covered with blessings.
"Just use this boat?"
"Wait a minute, we still have something to give you." Guan Miao returned to the hotel and took down the lantern hanging on the door: "What if If you don’t want to row your boat forward, then hang up the lantern. When the water ghosts at the bottom of the lake see this lantern passed down from generation to generation, they will probably give you a way. "
In addition to lanterns, other old people also went home and brought some old things, including copper coins, children's toys, and hand-made clothes. The old lady from the fish restaurant gave them to Han. It's not a photo album. It contains photos of tourists taking photos with Big Fish, as well as photos she took with her children when she was young.
“My family has many children, but they were all buried in the lake in the end, either because of greed or because of saving people. If you meet them, show them the photos, maybe they will still return home. Can you remember me?”
Everything was ready, Han Fei, Guan Miao and the lifeguard player got on the boat.
"The boat can accommodate four people. If there are empty seats, it will be easily targeted by water ghosts." Guan Miao wanted Li Guoer to get on the boat, but Han Fei pulled Yan Le over.
"She is still a child, this is too dangerous."
"It doesn't matter." Han Fei is not too reassured about Yan Le's mother. Until now, he still doesn't know what Yan Le's mother's abilities are. What, leaving her on the shore? Han Fei was worried.
The four of them got on the wooden boat, rowed the oars, and sailed along the artificial river outside the rental center towards the big lake.
"Isn't that too reckless?" The lifeguard did not expect that things would develop in this direction. He was still in the community more than an hour ago, and now he was going to face the water ghosts and possible monsters. The water monster said: "You can run anywhere on the shore. If we encounter danger in the lake, we won't have anywhere to escape!"
"What's the point of talking about this now?" Han Fei sat on the bow of the boat, looking calmly at the dark lake.
When Huang Ying brought down the skill book of the shallow world, Han Fei learned a lot of messy abilities, such as unlocking, suturing wounds, rock climbing, diving and blasting. As the memory returned, those abilities also Slowly being recovered.
The lights in the resort gradually dimmed, and the only sound left in Han Fei's ears was the sound of water flowing.
The wooden boat rows out of the resort's river, and in front of it is the endless lake.
Han Fei, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, took a deep breath. He was pretty good at water, but when he really faced the lake in the darkness, he had all kinds of negative emotions in his heart.
The night and the lake were connected together, and the surroundings were completely shrouded in darkness, which was extremely depressing.
The boat swayed with the current, and the body seemed to be sinking, as if it might fall into deep water at any time.
Darkness, deep sea, claustrophobia, despair, sinking, suffocation...
Not only Han Fei, but also the lifeguard player could not bear it anymore. He lowered his head and did not dare to look far away. He looked around, and when he was really scared, he glanced at Han Fei's back.
On the lone boat, Han Fei gave people a very reliable feeling. He seemed to be everyone's direction.
The wood pulp stirred up water, and the resort behind him became farther and farther away, but the island in the middle of the lake had not yet appeared in the field of vision.
They paddled for more than ten minutes, and the lights of the resort had completely disappeared. Apart from the sound of water, there was only endless darkness.
"Village Chief, how long will it take for us to arrive?" The lifeguard's hands holding the wood pulp were soaked with sweat.
"It should be soon." Guan Miao said uncertainly: "Normally, we can definitely paddle in half an hour."
"Half an hour?" The lifeguard continued to work hard. While paddling, Han Fei in front stopped, and the cat in his backpack began to meow.
"Did you see anything?" Yan Le's mother was also a little uneasy. At this time, Yan Le's face was completely white. She was covering the wound on her stomach, cold sweat sliding down her forehead.
"Get ready to light a lantern. We have been wandering around for a while. There seems to be something under the boat." Han Fei's voice was not loud, but what he said made the other three people a little scared.
"Okay." Guan Miao lit the fire in the lantern, leaned out and hung it on the bow of the ship.
The weak fire flickered and could go out at any time.
"It is indeed not that strenuous to row." The lifeguard was very surprised. He glanced at the water surface illuminated by the lantern. There were several shadows under the turbid lake surface that dispersed towards the surroundings, as if It's some big fish.
"Don't look around." Yan Le's mother controlled Yan Le's body and forced Yan Le to lower his head: "This lake is called the mind. If you look too much, you might fall into it."
"I understand, I understand. "The lifeguard was about to look away when the wood pulp in his hand suddenly hit a hard object.
At first he thought he had hit a reef, but when he thought about it carefully, how could there be a stone on the water in the center of the lake?
Looking there subconsciously, the lifeguard saw a bunch of black water plants, densely packed, swaying with the water waves.
"Shouldn't the waterweed be so hard?" The wood pulp was hanging in the air. The lifeguard saw the waterweed floating towards him at a very fast speed and had reached the edge of the boat in the blink of an eye.
He wanted to use wood pulp to push the water plants away, but when the wood pulp opened the water plants, he saw a pair of swollen eyes under the black water plants.
“Head!”
The sudden fright made the lifeguard almost hit Yan Le, and the wooden boat shook violently.
“Don’t panic!” Han Fei pressed the Purana Knife with one hand and tried to keep the balance of the boat.
"In the water! That head is standing in the water! That's not a corpse!" The lifeguard knew very well that dead bodies are floating on the water and cannot stand straight up and down in the water.
Pulling the red rope, Han Fei waited for the curse to cover his palm, then stretched out his hand directly. He wanted to grab the thing and take a look.
"Don't touch the water, be careful of being dragged in by them!" Guan Miao was frightened by Han Fei's actions. He quickly stopped him, then took out a copper coin from his pocket and muttered something In a dialect that no one could understand, he then threw the copper coins to the place where the head appeared: "Let's break up the wealth and eliminate the disaster, let's leave quickly." of relocation It's just them." Han Fei looked at the curse on his hand and said, "If you can't do it, take down this lantern and hang it up with a cursed water ghost."
"We are worshiping the lake god. Worshiping is about sincerity. Please note that we are praying to the Lake God for blessings and relief, not threatening him." Guan Miao did not expect that Han Fei would think this way. This young man had a lot to do with the ceremony of worshiping the Lake God. misunderstanding.
"You pray sincerely, has the Lake God heard your voice?" Han Fei glanced at the fish scale pattern on Guan Miao's neck: "We can respect him, but he can't toast him without having to drink as a penalty. ."(End of this chapter)
