There is something strange everywhere in Ping'an Ancient Town.
Ghost streets, ancestral halls honoring the dead, and women washing clothes by the river at night do not exist in reality.
Yang Jian, Liu San, Li Jun and others all noticed something strange, but they all tacitly agreed not to explore it to the end, because they still had to deal with the Ghost Lake incident and did not want to spend too much time and energy elsewhere.
It's already half past eleven at night.
It's half an hour until twelve o'clock.
"A Hong, inform Yang Jian and Liu San to come over and gather. They can no longer wander around alone."
Li Jun showed a relatively strong attitude at this moment and wanted to summon everyone.
"Okay." A Hong nodded in agreement without much thought.
soon.
Yang Jian and Liu San received the text message.
At this moment, they were still lingering in the ancestral hall, investigating the situation and looking for the blind old man.
"It seems that we don't have time to wait for you to find that person. Li Jun asked us to go over and meet up, saying that we would officially enter the Ghost Lake through the connection point."
Yang Jian walked out of a corner of the ancestral hall, still holding the paper boat in his hand.
Liu San was standing in the middle of the ancestral hall and slowly turned his head: "I have found traces. He is here. He has never left this ancestral hall. I am sure that everything here is just hidden."
"Forget it, I'll investigate the situation when I get back. Now I still have to deal with the Ghost Lake incident." Yang Jian turned and left at this moment.
"What a pity, it was just a little bit close," Liu San said.
It seems that he has other paper people who are investigating, and there is progress, but it will take a while.
Yang Jian said, "Taiping Ancient Town has been here for so many years, and the people guarding this ancestral hall won't be able to leave even now. You are too impatient. It seems that the existence of the paper shop makes you very concerned, so you want to
I am eager to understand everything here, am I right? Liu San?"
Liu San looked at Yang Jian in silence.
"I understand that you really want to find out the supernatural power about yourself."
Yang Jian said: "It's okay if you want to continue to stay here, I won't stay with you."
After saying that, he walked out of the ancestral hall.
next moment.
He appeared at the abandoned ferry in the ancient town.
nearby.
Shen Lin, Li Jun, and A Hong have been waiting here for a long time.
"Isn't Liu San here?" Li Jun asked immediately.
Yang Jian said: "I'm not his father. I can't control when he comes, but he probably won't have much effect if he comes. He might be another paper man. And I haven't fought against Liu San until now.
I don’t know what kind of supernatural power he has.”
Each of these captains is mysterious, and no one who has never interacted with them knows what kind of ghosts they control.
For example, that guy Wang Chaling, an ordinary person actually controlled four ghosts, and they were his parents, grandparents, and so on.
"Besides, I don't know about your abilities, Shen Lin. If I have the chance, I'd like to know more about it." Yang Jian looked at Shen Lin again.
"Captain Yang won't be interested in me."
Shen Lin said with a smile on his face; "Because knowing my past is a very dangerous thing. If you don't do it right, someone may die. Captain Yang only needs to know that I am standing with the headquarters. I am on the same page as you all."
Colleagues, comrades-in-arms."
"That's not necessarily the case." Yang Jian said.
"It's almost time."
Li Jun came over at this moment: "Shen Lin, will the situation you mentioned really happen?"
Shen Lin then said: "Memory can't lie. I believe it is true, but no one can tell clearly about supernatural things."
"It's foggy." Suddenly, Ah Hong reminded me coldly.
Late at night.
The river passing through the ancient town actually began to have mist. The mist persisted and gradually became thicker.
"Is it related to Feng Quan?" Li Jun looked at Yang Jian.
"It's not a ghost fog. The ghost fog is much more serious than this. The previous guess was correct. This is indeed the connection point of a supernatural place. The appearance of the fog is just a supernatural phenomenon, and this supernatural phenomenon is intensifying."
Yang Jian peered through the ghost eyes and saw that things were twisting in the thick fog. The river was no longer a river, but an unknown supernatural place was gradually connecting to reality.
Wow!
Then the calm river surface became splashed with water, and at the same time there was the sound of waves.
Looking upstream.
At the end of the thick fog on the river, a dim and yellow light appeared.
The light flickered uncertainly, and when I got closer, I realized that it was actually an oil lamp.
Oil lamps are placed on an old wooden boat.
The wooden boat swam downstream. There was no one on board, but it slowly approached the ferry and stopped quietly next to the ferry.
This scene was seen by everyone.
weird,
Can't understand.
"Through this boat, we can enter the Ghost Lake."
Shen Lin said: "But there will be some abnormalities along the way, and there may be dangers."
"Where did this boat come from?" A Hong was curious and wanted to find out the source.
"It's just like the supernatural bus, no one knows." Yang Jian said.
"It's exactly twelve o'clock, get on the boat, let's go to Ghost Lake." Li Jun said, he took the lead and walked directly onto the wooden boat.
A man of this size stepped onto the boat.
The boat was actually very stable and didn't rock at all.
"Let's go." Yang Jian didn't flinch. Now that he's here, he won't be a coward.
Carrying a spear, he also stepped onto the boat.
Shen Lin remained silent, only smiled slightly and boarded the ship.
Ahong followed closely behind.
However, after a few people boarded the boat, the boat was still leaning against the ferry, not moving, nor drifting downstream, but still docked in place.
"Yang Jian can borrow your spear for a moment," Li Jun said.
"how?"
"Of course we are punting the boat." Li Jun said, "Is it possible that we just sit on the boat and wait?"
Yang Jian said: "This thing is not used to punt boats, it is a supernatural item."
"In my memory, this ship does not need to be controlled by humans. It will move forward according to a certain route, but I don't know why, but this time the situation is a little different from what I remember." Shen Lin said.
"Because you need to pay to take the boat. Without money, you can't take this boat." Suddenly, Liu San's voice sounded from the shore. He was late, but he arrived in time.
"Payment? It shouldn't be money in the traditional sense." Shen Lin squinted his eyes and said, "Some kind of specific supernatural thing?"
"That's right." Liu Sandao said, "This is the new information I got."
The reason why he was late was because of some delays.
"Without that kind of special money, this boat wouldn't be able to take us to Ghost Lake." Liu San said.
"Special money?"
Yang Jian's heart froze, and he immediately thought of the remaining seven-yuan note on his body.
"You should be talking about this money." After speaking, he took it out and showed it to others.
"This is..." The others' eyes were fixed on the colorful banknotes in Yang Jian's hand.
Obviously, this is a counterfeit currency.
The seven-yuan note cannot be fake anymore.
I don't think it was spent on people, but more like it was burned to ghosts.
"How do you have such money?" Liu San was surprised: "And it's a seven-yuan note with a large denomination."
"If you encounter a lot of weird things, you will naturally have some weird things in your hands. There is nothing to be surprised about." Yang Jian said: "Do you have research on paper money?"
"I know a little bit about it, but I don't know where this kind of banknote came from. I only know that paper money has some special uses, and the larger the denomination, the rarer it is. Generally speaking, banknotes are divided into three yuan, four yuan, seven yuan, and three yuan.
Among all denominations, seven yuan is already the largest denomination, and there are very few of them left in the world now," Liu San said.
"Under certain circumstances, you must have this kind of money. If you don't have it, this boat will not be able to carry us to Ghost Lake as it is now."
Liu San said and jumped on the boat: "Lend me the money."
Yang Jian frowned, but still handed him the seven-yuan note.
After Liu San took the money, he immediately put the paper money to the oil lamp on the bow and lit it.
The paper money immediately burned.
The paper ashes flew away, and a cold wind blew around them. The wind condensed and formed a vortex that rolled up the paper ashes.
The air was filled with the smell of paper ashes, but it quickly dissipated. All the paper ashes dissipated and were blown to nowhere.
The old black wooden boat slowly rippled at this moment.
The boat left the ferry and drifted slowly downstream.
"The ship is moving."
Li Jun's expression condensed: "It's exactly what Liu San said, you have to pay for the boat ride."
"Yang Jian, give it back to you." Liu San said and handed the paper money back to Yang Jian.
The paper money was a big circle smaller because that circle was burned by Liu Sandian.
But the appearance of the remaining paper money in a smaller size has changed.
It's no longer seven yuan, but three yuan.
It is exactly the same as the three-yuan note that Yang Jian got from the mask stall before.
"Seven yuan turned into three yuan, does that mean four yuan was spent? But the five of us spent four yuan, which is a bit unaccountable."
Yang Jian didn't mind paying the boat fare. He glanced at the others, feeling a little strange about the change.
"Not everyone needs to pay the fare. The ship cannot ask the ghost for the fare. Maybe one of the five of us is judged to have become a ghost." Liu San said.
"Who was judged to be a ghost?"
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Jun and Liu San, and then at Shen Lin.
All captain-level characters are aliens, and it is possible for anyone to be judged as a ghost.
"I don't know." Liu Sandao.
No one knows who among the five is the ghost.
"Since the ship has moved, don't worry about this issue." Li Jun said, "You should be vigilant now. There are too many weird things here."
Everyone stopped talking and put aside this strange topic.
The boat swam down, drifting.
However, the people on the boat did not feel any shaking, and it was very stable.
And as the boat left the ferry, several people discovered that the river was surrounded by thick fog, and the surrounding buildings were looming. The strangest thing was that the outlines of some buildings did not belong to Taiping Ancient Town at all.
Things around me gradually started to look strange.
Even the river began to become wider, exceeding the width seen before.
This change did not happen suddenly, but happened slowly as the boat wandered.
Only ten minutes.
Everyone found themselves on a strange and strange river.
