When we came down from the wooden house, we discovered that we had been chatting with Professor Zhang for nearly four hours.
It was past ten o'clock in the morning, and it was not raining, but there was no sunshine either. There was a thick layer of dark clouds above our heads, and the sky was gray and gloomy.
I walked up to Hao Jingde and said softly in a voice that only he and I could hear: "Uncle Hao, I told Professor Zhang that you and Brother Qian are father and son. He wants you to go up alone. I have something to say to you."
explain."
Hao Jingde was stunned and looked at me with some confusion, "Professor Zhang?"
"He is Brother Qian's father-in-law and Sister Wen Ying's father." I told Hao Jingde.
Hao Jingde nodded and walked towards the wooden house.
Qian Zhiqi came over, touched my arm lightly and said, "Hu Ling, why does that Uncle Hao look so weird? Is he really here with you to help find your father?"
I raised my eyebrows and looked at Qian Zhiqi and said noncommittally: "Maybe there are other things. What do you think of him?"
"It's not that good, it's a bit weird!" Qian Zhiqi shook his head slightly and said, "And his appearance is really hard to describe. Hu Ling, why are there so many scars on his face?"
"He experienced a fire when he was young, and that's why he became like this." I explained simply, not mentioning that Hao Jingde suffered backlash because he helped others create evil formations when he was young.
"You will have many opportunities to get along in the future. Maybe he will slowly tell you some stories that you don't know but will definitely be interested in." I looked at Qian Zhiqi and said.
Qian Zhiqi shivered.
"Forget it. In the three or four hours since you went up there, he has been staring at me non-stop, which makes me feel very nervous!" Qian Zhiqi shook his head.
I smiled and didn't say anything more. I told Professor Zhang because I wanted Professor Zhang to feel at ease and not to be estranged from Hao Jingde because of his defensiveness. It would be better for them to handle the rest by themselves.
Lu Xiaohong came towards us with Shi Xian and Lian Ruowei. Lu Xiaohong looked at me and said: "Hu Ling, Xiaohong and I will go down first to see if there are any clues about Xiao Zun's whereabouts. You and
Ruowei is waiting for us on the shore."
He always calls my father Xiao Han Xiao Zun in front of people in Tianshi Mansion, but when alone, he always calls me Uncle Xiao.
"No, I want to go down with you too!"
"Master Lu Tianshi, I will go down with you too."
Lian Ruowei and I spoke almost at the same time.
"Ruowei, you still have injuries on your arms, so don't go into the water yet!" Shi Xian looked at Lian Ruowei and shook his head, saying in an almost doting tone.
Lian Ruowei looked at Shi Xian expressionlessly, her eyes a little distant, and then turned to look at Lu Xiaohong and said: "Master Lu Tianshi, you are not the only one worried about Xiao Zun."
"Now we are just going down to look for clues. When we find the entrance, we will definitely take you with us!" Lu Xiaohong looked at Lian Ruowei, "You need to recover from your injuries first, maybe you will have to go into the water again soon."
"I'm not injured, I have to go down with you!" I looked at Lu Xiaohong and said firmly.
Lu Xiaohong looked at me without saying anything. After a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you must always follow me closely!"
Seeing me nodding, Lu Xiaohong took my hand and walked to the Black Stone Pond.
Dongzi came over and said to me: "Hu Ling, it's a pity that I don't know how to swim, otherwise I could go down with you to find Uncle Xiao."
"Take good care of yourself, don't run around blindly out of curiosity, and keep an eye on Cripple Chen!" I patted his shoulder and said.
"Look what you said, I'm not a child!"
Dongzi slapped my hand away, turned to Lian Ruowei and said: "Ruowei, while we wait for them to go, I will tell you about my experience of catching ghosts with Hu Ling. Let me tell you, that time...
…”
He was still holding tightly on the immortal rope in his hand, and Chen Laizi was dragged on the other end of the immortal rope.
As Dongzi said this, he raised his hand and pulled Lian Ruowei, who was still a little unwilling, towards the side.
Sean probably understood that Dongzi was sometimes unreliable, so he kept squatting under a tree and stared at Chen Laizi eagerly. When we walked to the Black Rock Pond, he only glanced a few more times.
It can also be seen from Sean's reaction that there is no danger in our trip to Blackstone Pond this time.
After Lu Xiaohong jumped into the pool, Shi Xian also jumped in. I took a deep breath and followed them into the water.
The three of us lowered our heads at the same time and swam towards the bottom of the Black Rock Pond.
Halfway through the swim, Shi Xian stopped and gestured in fear, pointing not far ahead.
Not far from us, there was a school of plump silver fish swimming in front of us, much larger than the strange fish with human faces that attacked us.
When I went underwater to look for Dongzi, I saw this group of strange fish with human faces. They don't attack people.
Lu Xiaohong stopped and looked at the group of strange fish with human faces. Seeing that they had no intention of attacking us, he waved his hand towards Shi Xian, looked back at me, gestured to follow, turned around and continued swimming towards the bottom of the pool.
go.
I followed, and Shi Xian followed us far behind.
From where we are now, we can clearly see the bottom of Blackstone Pond.
There are no gaps at the bottom of the pool, and none of the huge rocks at the bottom of the pool we saw before are missing.
At this time, Black Rock Pond looks like it is completely formed by a natural pit of black rock. It is as flat and smooth as the platform when we came here. Except for the fish swimming slowly around, there is even a small piece of gravel.
Also gone.
As far as the eye could see, it was clear that even the group of man-eating monster fish with human faces were nowhere to be seen.
This situation is really too weird. The group of strange fish with human faces that came out to attack us at night is not a small number, but where have they gone now? Can they disappear and come back out of thin air in the pool?
Just when Lu Xiaohong and I felt a little unbelievable, a strong smell of blood came from behind.
When he turned around, he saw that it was Shi Xian holding a military dagger in his hand. He quietly swam close to a strange fish with a human face and stuck the dagger into the ugly human face on the belly of the strange fish with a human face.
Dark red blood gushed out from the belly of the strange human-faced fish, and the pool around us instantly turned blood red.
The strange human-faced fish was twisting and struggling in the water, and more and more blood was pouring out of its body.
The human faces on the belly of the surrounding fish swam away with frightened expressions, but still did not attack us.
Lu Xiaohong frowned tightly, swam over and snatched the dagger from Shi Xian's hand, glaring at him angrily.
Shi Xian shook his head indifferently and pointed at the injured strange fish with a human face.
The strange fish with a human face was not dead. After struggling for a few times, it turned around and faced Shi Xian with the ugly face on its abdomen. Its eyes got bigger and bigger, so big that we could see through its pupils.
See the figure of little Shi Xian.
The strange fish with a human face was staring at Shi Xian with angry eyes.
At that moment, I had the illusion that it was a person staring at him. This chapter has been completed!
