Chapter 134 The Turtle Keeper (Part 2)
A person suddenly appeared on the dark lake surface, and he actually floated in the air on the water surface. His strange state was indescribable, but the old Taoist was not surprised. He said, "I didn't expect that there was a tortoise raising man here. How did you find it?"
I said, "This lake will cause a half-day red color when it is touched by it. What else can it be if it is not for the golden ghost?"
The old Taoist really understood and nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense, but since there are golden ghosts here, I will save trouble."
I said wonderingly, "Why are you here?"
"It's just to get out of the corpse, don't you know that there is a water rebellion in the river around the city?" The old Taoist was a little surprised.
"What? Can this kind of place still have Mercury retrograde? I thought that only the Yellow River would exist in this way." Only at this point did I understand that the old Taoist is talking about "Walking Corpse" rather than "lost".
"What is Mercury Retrograde?" Shen Chong said.
"This is a unique type of corpse walking in the Yellow River. After a person dies, he walks along the river that is flowing against the current. This is the counter-melt of the river." I said.
"After a person dies, he walks upstream along the river? Is this a zombie or what's going on?" said Rocky.
"If a person is buried in the sand before he dies, it will become a water reversal. This kind of corpse will move along the back current and walk to the depths of the water. If it is entangled by aquatic plants and other ankles, they will stand under the water and remain motionless until it is soaked. Mercury retrograde is not uncommon. Many underwater workers often see this kind of corpse, but they don't understand the reason and do not know that this kind of corpse standing under the water is a water reversal. However, Mercury retrograde is often heard in the waters of the Yellow River. It is the first time I have seen such a place in decades." Lao Dao said.
"Oh, so that's it." Shen Chong's face was full of expressions of "The Great World is so wonderful". At this moment, he heard a clattering sound from the water surface. He saw a man wearing a tattered cotton robe walking out of the gap in front of two large bluestones.
Although Merrie's clothes were almost rotten like cloth strips, you can still see the "style", which is a shroud and old jacket.
After the Mercury reverse walked out of the cracks of the stone, it waded the river and headed westward.
Even in the calm river and lake water, as long as it is not stagnant water, it will flow. But the water retardation is not known because of why. Although it is just a dead body, you can clearly feel the subtle changes in the water flow and always move against the water trend.
"Master, since the water flows from west to east, how could the water retrograde enter the cracks of the stone?" I said in confusion.
"The water flow changes, and the route of the water retrograde is definitely not wrong." Taoist said.
Before he finished speaking, he saw the man in mourning clothes quickly turning to the direction of Mercury retro, and then the water waves flowed, and the man in white chased Mercury forward quickly.
Only then did I understand the reason why he floated on the water. Because a golden piece of Jia Ke was faintly exposed in the lake water, this person was standing on the back of the golden ghost, and the golden ghost liked to eat corpses the most, so he was attracted by Mercury Retrograde.
The old Taoist said excitedly: "There is a good show now. Although Mercury Reich's Dharma body is not strong, it is also considered a zombie. Let's see how a turtle subdues it."
As the golden ghost got closer and closer to the water retrograde, a slight sound came from the water surface, and a pair of red eyes stretched out from under the water.
The head of this golden ghost is more than twice as big as the previous one. From this we can see that Zigong Mountain is not just a golden ghost, but this one can hold an adult steadily, and its body must be huge. How many dead bodies should such a large shell be eaten and how much is it worth? It makes people feel numb all over.
The man in white pointed the lantern in his hand at the Mercury Retro who kept moving forward in the water. He could see that the walking corpse had long hair on his head and his fingernails were also spinning, indicating that even though he had died, his physical functions were still functioning.
What a terrible phenomenon this is.
Soon the golden ghost was getting closer and closer to the Mercury Retrogression, but the dead corpse was not human after all, and did not realize that the danger was coming. With the light of the lantern, we also saw the appearance of the golden ghost clearly.
This golden ghost is not exactly the same as what I have seen before. The eyes, nose, mouth and mouth on its head are somewhat similar to those of humans, especially a pair of eyeballs, which are big and round, with white background and black pupils.
This is an old turtle who only becomes a sperm, and I secretly gasped.
The golden ghost swam more than ten meters away from the Mercury Retro, and then stopped moving. Its huge and thick head slowly hovered up and down like a snake, constantly making hissing sounds, and vaguely saw the light purple smoke slowly coming out from its nose.
Mercury seemed to sense the existence of the golden ghost and suddenly stopped. Then she slowly turned around. Seeing Mercury's appearance, I almost screamed out in fear.
I really didn't expect that the world would have such a terrible, weird, and disgusting appearance.
Perhaps because it was buried under the water for too long, the Mercury Retrograde was already swollen and swelling. At first glance, it looked like a big winter melon. The facial features on such a face were all deformed. The mouth as thick as water hair could not be closed, the eyes were wide and bulging, and the nose was simply a ball of flesh. The long and disordered hair was covered with water plants and algae creatures. At first glance, it looked like someone was vomiting all over his head.
If I were facing such a walking corpse, I would never be able to watch it for a minute, but the man in white didn't even tremble his hands. As the golden ghost's head swayed, Mercury's body began to shake strangely.
Under the moonlight, the swollen body of the body seemed to be caught by a soul, as if it was stunned, and walked towards the golden ghost step by step. The man in white kept shaking the lantern on his hands, and Mercury seemed to have consciousness again, and his head swayed left and right with the lantern.
I heard the Taoist priest say to himself slightly: "The turtle raising people are indeed not ordinary people, they even have such magical tools."
"What is this?" Shin Chong said.
"This is called the soul-guiding lamp. Therefore, it is said that after a person dies, there is a ghost lamp to guide him when he steps on the yellow spring. Therefore, when the soul-guiding lamp is lit in the world, it will attract the attention of ghosts." said the Taoist priest.
The Mercury Reverse is getting closer and closer to the Golden Ghost. With a sound of water, the Golden Ghost's thick neck suddenly stretched out, and his big mouth bit the neck of the dead body with a big mouth.
Perhaps it was because of the long soaking period, the flesh tissue on the neck of the dead body had become loose, and the head was rumbling and rolled into the water. There was no drop of blood in the wound, and the flesh tissue turned white.
Then, only the water splashed, several water lines appeared on the shore of Bluestone Mountain, swam rapidly towards the Shui Reverse, and instantly arrived beside him. The old turtle suddenly let out a low chirping, and the little turtles that were already approaching retreated.
The old turtle slowly raised its thick head and slowly swallowed the swollen corpse from the top to the waist. Its head was as thick as a water tank. Then it raised its head, and the thick body of Mercury was raised high, and soon all slid into the golden ghost's belly.
"Eat and drink enough" it slowly swam into the Bluestone Mountain, while several little turtles began to compete for the dead heads, and soon ate all the bones and meat.
We were hiding behind a tree and saw the turtle eating the corpse, and the old Taoist clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'm getting rich now."
I said, "Get rich? The golden ghosts here are not raised by you."
He smiled slightly and said, "If I don't raise it, I may not be able to make this fortune. Look at what this thing is in my hand." After that, he stretched out his left hand and saw a big ball like a night pearl that flashed with lustrous smoothness, which was very clear in the darkness.
"This is the night pearl? If there is such a big bead, wouldn't it be priceless?" I said enviously.
All three of us were close to the beads on his hand.
The Taoist priest squeezed it hard, and with a puff, a ball of white smoke came out of his hand. I felt dizzy and it was too late to hold my breath, and I lost consciousness in an instant.
When I woke up again, it was already shining with sunshine, and Rocky and Shen Chong were still unconscious. Fortunately, the Wulei Town corpse was still there because I was wrapped in rags. He could not think that what was hidden inside was a treasure, otherwise he would have taken it away together.
The reason why they are better than them is that they learn the art of urination and control the operation of courage, including the body's pores, are more comfortable than ordinary people. Once they encounter poisonous gas, courage and pores will close on their own, so the amount of poisonous gas inhaled is naturally less than that of them.
The Taoist priest was indeed a demon, but he did not use the deadly poison gas and showed mercy. Thinking of what he said before the poison gas, I guess the turtle breeder was about to suffer. So he quickly ran around the Love Lake to the edge of the Blue Stone Mountain. Sure enough, he saw a large dark cave on the side of the mountain. The cold wind blew out and a faint light of fire was faintly revealed.
There was no sound in it. Relying on the demon-suppressing magic weapon in my hand and the salt on my body, I plucked up the courage to enter the cave.
However, when you enter the cave, you will see a huge bluestone crossing in front of you, and there is no way out.
