late at night.

Outside Taiping Ancient Town.

Feng Quan carried two corpses wrapped in bed sheets and followed the hotel's boss Liu to a wasteland by the river outside Taiping Ancient Town.

This wasteland is covered with weeds, and the weeds are particularly lush, taller than everyone else and lush. In contrast, the weeds in other places are short, thin, and wilted. I don’t know if it is because of the fertile wasteland or the abundant water source near the river.

"It's here, that's it." Boss Liu stopped.

In the dark night, his reflection was so long that the dim oil lamp was swaying at this moment, and finally came here with Feng Quan.

This is a corpse burial place.

In the past, it was what people often call mass graves.

"Dig a hole and bury these two bodies here."

Boss Liu pointed to a clearing area with fewer weeds in front.

Feng Quan's numb eyes turned slightly: "Are all the dead in the town buried here? No wonder the weeds on this wasteland grow so lushly, but people die one after another and some disappear, so they did not attract people's attention?"

"Don't you know where Taiping Ancient Town is? What do you think ordinary people can find out when they come here?" Boss Liu smiled and said, "Don't you want to know the secrets here? If you help me with things, I can tell you something."

"I want to know much about Guihu, do you know?" Feng Quan didn't expect that the boss was so direct and he actually mentioned it without asking indirectly.

That's fine.

Save time wasting around the bush.

Immediately, Feng Quan threw two dead bodies on the ground, picked up the old shovel covered with soil in his hand and dug a hole on the ground, preparing to bury the corpses of the couple in this wasteland.

Although these two people are innocent.

But this is the case with supernatural powers, and there will always be people who die.

Feng Quan was used to life and death. The two dead bodies were rare and ordinary to him. Compared with a real supernatural incident, it was already considered very few, with very few casualties.

A supernatural incident broke out outside, and no matter how many times a dozen, hundreds or even thousands of people died.

Although the strange shovel contaminated with soil is a supernatural item, it is also possible to shovel soil and will not cause any special supernatural phenomena.

"Ghost Lake."

Boss Liu held the oil lamp and found a place where the grass was low and squatted down. He took out a pack of cigarette from somewhere, lit it skillfully, and then took a deep breath.

After vomiting a smoke ring, Boss Liu said slowly, "This has to start with a coffin, which is a black coffin placed in the back hall of the ancestral hall of Taiping Ancient Town... It has been decades since this matter, and it is still the one I mentioned when I was a child. Although it has been a long time since the incident, there are always a few memories of my childhood that are very impressive."

"That coffin is one of them."

Feng Quan's actions of digging a hole paused for a little bit, and he looked at Boss Liu; "What's special about that coffin? Is there a ghost locked inside?"

Boss Liu said: "From what I can remember, the coffin has been placed in the ancestral hall. I don't know how long it has been left there. It is roughly an old coffin left during the Republic of China. However, I don't care much about such an old coffin. After all, in the ancient town at that time, every household had the habit of preparing a coffin."

"Until one day, I went out to pee at night and accidentally came to the vicinity of the ancestral hall. I could hear a woman's crying sound."

"There are many taboos in Taiping Ancient Town. Not going out during dark is one of them. The second taboo is not to enter the ancestral hall at night... I made two taboos that day. I was attracted by the crying and climbed over the wall and entered the ancestral hall. I was curious about which girl was crying at night."

Boss Liu continued smoking, "I followed the crying sound to the back hall of the ancestral hall, and I saw an old black coffin."

"There is no doubt that the crying sound came from the coffin, and there was a pool of water around the coffin, which seemed to be the tears of the people in the coffin."

"Maybe it was young and ignorant, or it was curious for a moment. I thought there was a girl locked in the coffin, so I wanted to open the coffin and rescue the man."

"You opened it?" Feng Quan asked lowered the shovel.

Boss Liu smiled and said, "No, I tried to lift the coffin, but I was stopped. He was a person I didn't know. I still remember the person who looked like, an old man wearing a black long gown with wrinkles on his face, and was dead. He stopped me and smiled and told me to leave, admonishing me to leave."

"I was a little confused at that time and left in a daze. Later I realized that there was no girl in the coffin behind the ancestral hall. I heard from the elders that it was an empty coffin, which had been left there for a long time, and there were no elderly people wearing long gowns in the ancestral hall."

"And this is the first time I know the secrets of the town and the first time I have entered the supernatural circle."

Speaking of this, Boss Liu felt a little moved.

"What happened later?" Feng Quan continued to dig a hole and listened to Boss Liu telling his strange experiences before.

Boss Liu said: "Later, for a while, the woman's cry came from the ancestral hall. Every night I heard it very clearly. I didn't know what this meant at that time. I only knew that one day, some old people from Taiping Ancient Town made a decision to transport the coffin out of the ancestral hall. Just like this scene today, I found a place to bury it."

"Buried? Where is it buried?" Feng Quan keenly realized that the burial place of the coffin was the source of the brewing ghost domain.

Boss Liu smoked and squinted his eyes and said, "Buried outside reality, a supernatural place that living people cannot enter, was transported away by a black boat. No one knew where the coffin was transported. Only know that after that night, there was no more crying in Taiping Ancient Town, and everything returned to peace."

"Black boat? What is that?" Feng Quan asked.

"The older generation said that it was a ghost ship that sent the dead away. If a living person got on the ship, he would never be able to come back. But this is just a story. I don't believe this." Boss Liu smiled at this time.

The smile was a little weird, as if he had thought of something special.

"The reason why living people cannot come back is because they don't want living people to come back in a boat, because there is a ghost on the boat. As long as you take a boat, you will be cursed by evil spirits and suffer unknowns and dangers. No one can avoid it. So strictly speaking, it is not wrong to be a road without return."

Feng Quan's expression moved slightly: "If there is a ghost on the ship, wouldn't it be enough to imprison the ghost?"

"Maybe that ship is that ghost."

Boss Liu glanced at: "Young people always think things are so simple. Do you think the boat that can send away dead people is ordinary? Forget it, I won't discuss the boat matters more, let's talk about the Guihu you are interested in."

"Actually, I had heard information about Ghost Lake before you came. The moment I heard these news, I immediately thought of the black coffin transported away... So many years have passed, if there is any situation, it will probably happen."

"I just didn't expect that the coffin transported by the ghost ship would eventually form a ghost lake and even affect the outside."

Feng Quan frowned: "So, this is the truth about Guihu? Didn't you say before that Guihu's out of control is because too many ghosts are imprisoned?"

"I'm talking about the cause of Guihu, not the function of Guihu. What those people did with that coffin was not something that I, a child, could not know at that time." Boss Liu said.

"I slowly inferred and guessed the role of the ghosts in Guihu to detain evil spirits later."

"So that's how it is." Feng Quan nodded.

This is very reasonable.

This boss Liu is just a witness, not a participant.

"So, finding that coffin and dealing with the ghost in the coffin can solve the Ghost Lake incident?" Feng Quan said again.

"Things are not that simple..." said Boss Liu, and he turned his head and looked into the distance along the river.

It was pitch black in the distance, and there was nothing, and only a little light was vaguely seen on the river.

"If the ghost in the coffin is so easy to deal with, the old man in the past would not have transported the coffin away. The purpose of using the Ghost Lake to detain evil ghosts is definitely not the best choice. Maybe it is just a forced helpless choice, otherwise the ghost lake should be found."

Boss Liu then expressed his concerns.

Feng Quan was silent. He had dug the pit now, and it was very deep and was not easy to find.

A rustling sound continued to sound in this weed-covered wasteland.

Two dead bodies began to be buried.

And in the ghost lake.

Yang Jian, which sank into the bottom of the lake like a sculpture, did not sink forever in this cold and dark lake water.

As time passed, the cold and slowly faded away. This feeling was not a physical feeling, but a kind of supernatural and suppression was constantly weakening. No, the supernatural power in the ghost lake was not weakening, but its impact on himself was getting smaller and smaller.

This change is strange and can't be said.

But at least, Yang Jian can now open his ghost eyes to peek at everything at the bottom of the lake, and his hands and feet are gradually moving.

I believe that as long as this change continues, Yang Jian can still restore his ability to move in the lake.

"I can wait, but Ah Hong and Li Jun can't wait. This action has just begun. We cannot lose too much. The most urgent task is to find a way to save Ah Hong's life. As long as Ah Hong does not die, Li Jun will not die. This action is not a failure."

Yang Jian was getting a little better at this moment and thought about how to reverse the situation.

He felt that he had to work hard to protect Ah Hong.

But what can I do now?

The ghost's eyes rotate.

At the bottom of the lake, Yang Jian saw a cabinet covered with red paint in the mud in an inconspicuous corner.

That's... a ghost cabinet.

The ghost cabinet was now slanted in the mud, as if it was trapped in it and could not get out of it.

"What is this ghost cabinet? Its curse can actually extend into the ghost lake." Yang Jian was surprised and suspicious.

It seems that the appearance of the ghost cabinet reminded him that even in such a place, the transaction can still continue.

"Do you want to take advantage of the situation and let me start a new round of trading at this time?"

He gradually understood the idea of ​​this ghost cabinet.

Under such desperate situations, it is indeed easy for people to urgently seek help.

But Yang Jian was very calm and not even panicked at all.

Even if he is trapped here, he can survive here for a long time, and there will be no threat of death in a short period of time.

now.

Yang Jian's hands and feet resumed some movements again, and he found that he could slowly walk under the water.

After he was able to move, his mind became active again.
To be continued...
