After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 147 Into the Illusion

The two walked forward again and again, and the situation changed again.

The wooden plank on the ground began to loosen, Lu Zhi took a step forward, and the wooden plank seemed to be in disrepair for a long time, and it broke with a 'click'.

Lu Zhi sensed that something was wrong, and quickly raised the toes that landed on the ground, and his body had already retreated to one side.

I saw that the broken board shook twice, and the sawdust fell down 'patter', and then the board that was broken in two also fell, sinking in silently.

In an instant, the place where Lu Zhi stepped on turned into a pitch-black hole the size of a bowl. The depth of the hole was unknown, and the broken boards and wood chips fell into it, but no sound could be heard.

The dark wind blew out from the black hole, making people's bones ache from the cold.

Yao Shouning's damn curiosity arose, and he couldn't help but glanced at the black hole. What he 'saw' was the rippling water in the hole, and a swollen dead face was reflected in it. The moment she probed, the ghost face floated and stared A pair of gray eyes widened and stared at her.

"what!"

The shock brought about by this look was no small matter. Her legs were weak, but she stubbornly held on and did not slump on the ground, and her mouth let out an urgent cry after being overly frightened.

"There is a ghost in the cave."

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Zhi seemed very curious:

"Really? I'll take a look too."

After he finished speaking, he also bent over to look at it, and at the same time held the hilt of the sword with one hand——with a crisp sound, the long sword was unsheathed, and he held the long sword in his hand, and stabbed it down hard!

The long sword pierced through the water with strength, and the water rippled crazily. The ferocious dead face full of malice inside was immediately smashed by the energy, turning into black air and disappearing.

The ghost face and the water flow all disappeared, and wherever the energy went, the evil energy was shaken away.

In front of the two of them, only a black hole the size of a bowl and the devoured planks were left, which proved that the previous scene was not an illusion.

Yao Shouning's heart 'thumped, thumped' crazily, and he felt that his breathing was not smooth.

Lu Zhisi retracted the long sword slowly, rubbed the blade lightly with his thumb, and put the long sword back into the sheath.

"What kind of evil did your sister provoke?"

He has begun to feel that things are not as simple as he imagined.

If a person dies unexpectedly, he will become a ghost with a mouthful of resentment, but it is difficult for a ghost to become a ghost, and the most is to confuse people with ghosts hitting walls.

This kind of ghost hitting the wall is just an illusion, blinding people's consciousness and reason, and it is not a real thing.

However, the 'river god' provoked by the Yao family is not like ordinary water ghosts, who can create such a big battle, and the ghosts summoned seem to have turned into reality, devouring the broken plank. It's not something ordinary ghosts can do.

He felt that it was a disadvantage for him to get into this mess just by calling Yao Shouning 'Dad'.

"I don't know, it's related to the Bailing River."

After Yao Shouning hurriedly finished speaking, Lu Zhi repeated:
"Bai Ling River."

After finishing the matter, he will go to Bailing River to check it out.

Just as the two of them were talking, a sudden change occurred in front of them.

'Crack, click! '

Under the verandah, the wooden planks of the bedding are cracked inch by inch, as if they have been in disrepair for a long time.

But the Yao family's house has only been purchased for more than ten years, and it has been well maintained all these years. At this time, something happened suddenly, obviously something evil was causing trouble.

Yao Shouning took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down the fear in his heart.

But her scalp was numb, goosebumps stood on her body, and she was deeply afraid that countless ghosts would appear under the cracked wooden plank-just relying on imagination was enough to scare her half to death.

She was really scared, she stepped back silently, and stood behind Lu Zhi, trying to hide her body completely.

It's just that the scenario Yao Shouning imagined didn't happen, but the situation didn't get any better.

'Clatter——'

Amidst the sound of the water flow, the wooden planks laid in front began to move crazily, making a 'clang clang' sound, as if there was something hidden under the planks.

'Kang kuang kuang. '

The impact sounded one after another, and the whole Yao family seemed to have fallen into a dead silence. It seemed that no one could hear the strange noise here, and no one noticed that there were two people trapped here.

The noise became louder and stronger, Yao Shouning's heart almost jumped into his throat, and he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

'Gululu. '

In front of her, there appeared a pair of strangely black eyes, it was the 'River God'!
"Water, it's water."

As soon as her eager voice fell, the impact sound instantly disappeared, and it was only a blink of an eye from extreme noise to extreme silence.

But that sense of urgency has not disappeared, and the crisis has not only not left, but is getting closer and closer.

"The 'River God' is coming."

Yao Shouning's words were like a signal. As soon as the end of the words fell, a large stream of water 'gurgled' from the gaps in the wooden planks of the ground, like a fountain, and instantly wet the corridor.

The water is still surging upwards, if this posture is followed, it will probably be able to submerge this place in a short while.

She had learned the supernatural power of the 'river god' to control water last night, and when she saw the water flow, she remembered the crisis last night.

At this point, the 'River God' did not hide his intentions.

At the same time as the water was gushing out, a little light suddenly came from a distance.

It was completely dark all around. Originally, he couldn't see his fingers, but he could only hear the sound of water flowing "crash la la", and that spot of light appeared like the brightest star in the night sky, which immediately attracted Yao Shouning's attention.

"Yes, is anyone here?"

The emergence of light dispelled the darkness, which should have been a very comfortable thing.

But now, when Yao Shouning saw the lights, not only did he not feel relaxed, but he felt even more weird.

An ominous premonition told her that there might be something wrong with the lighting.

After all, the fog tonight is thicker than yesterday, and the 'River God' made another move, it must be because of his determination to take Yao Wanning away, and no mistakes are allowed.

No one in Yao's family knows martial arts. After the incident happened last night, none of the lanterns could be lit. Where did the light come from now?

"Don't worry." Lu Zhi comforted her coldly: "The one who came is not a human being."

These words did not comfort her, but made her tremble even more intensely.

The lights are getting closer and closer, as if someone is slowly approaching with a firelight.

Then there seemed to be a bright spot flickering in the distance, and then it turned into a glowing fire, and became a second light.

Then came the third, and the fourth—

The light shines on the surging water surface, and the waves formed by each flowing water also reflect the light, which complements the fire light, as if thousands of sparks are shining together.

This kind of 'light' is very strange, but temporarily dispels the darkness.

I saw that the veranda in the distance had completely disappeared at some point, replaced by an endless river.

The surface of the river was deep and dark, sparkling under the light.

The first light that was lit got closer, and Yao Shouning saw that it wasn't someone carrying the light, but a lotus lantern made of paper floating on the surface of the river.

A small piece of white candle was placed in the middle of the paper lotus. The candle light flickered and floated towards the two of them.

Lu Zhi strode forward, going to the lotus lantern.

As soon as he moved, there was the sound of the 'crashing' water being moved.

Yao Shouning realized belatedly that the gushing water had reached their ankles at some point, but her attention was attracted by the lotus lantern, and she seemed to be completely unconscious.

She was shocked and frightened in her heart, but suppressed her uneasiness, and chased after Lu Zhi:

"wait for me."

This place is already very strange, and the methods of the 'River God' tonight are even more terrifying than last night.

Moreover, the fog, lighting, and environment here all have the effect of confusing people's hearts. Even she is distracted from time to time, as if she can't grasp the feeling of 'time'.

She was deeply afraid that if Lu Zhi left, she would be separated from him, so she stepped on the water and ran towards him, and followed behind him.

I saw Lu Zhi walked to the side of the lotus lantern in front, bent down to fish it, and took the lotus lantern into his hand.

He tore off the candle on the lotus flower and threw it into the water.

A bubble popped up on the surface of the water, and the candle fell into it. The flame remained on, but burned for a long time. Finally, the candle was engulfed by the deep river water along with the flame, and seemed to sink to the bottom of the river.

Seeing this scene, Yao Shouning was horrified, and looked at Lu Zhi's hand again. He took apart the paper lotus, as if he was reading the words on it.

"Let me see too."

He is too tall. Even though Yao Shouning is taller among women, it still reaches to his chin. Now that the light is dim, he may not be able to see clearly from a distance, so he held the letter high. These made it impossible for her to see what was written on the paper.

"It's a letter."

After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he handed the letter to Yao Shouning, and tried to get the second lotus lantern.

Yao Shouning took the letter, and saw that the handwriting on the letter had been slightly blurred after being soaked in water, but it was barely recognizable that it was written in the format of a letter.

No wonder Lu Zhi handed the letter to himself so happily. Under the dim light, what was written in the letter was hard to read.

Although the font on the letter is blurred, it can be vaguely seen that the font of the person who wrote the letter is beautiful, and it vaguely looks like it was written by a woman.

And for some reason, Yao Shouning always felt that the shape of this word seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

She stared at it for a long time, and suddenly heard Lu Zhi ask:

"See what's written?"

After he picked up the river lantern earlier, he opened the letter, but the letter was soaked in the river water, the ink was loose, and it was hard to read, so when Yao Shouning said he wanted to read it, he handed it over.

Originally, Lu Zhi didn't think she could see anything, but when he saw her holding it for a long time, his heart moved and he asked a question.

"Like a letter."

She said something that Lu Zhi had said before, before Lu Zhi could turn around, he heard her say again:
"I always think this word is very familiar..."

Yao Shouning's words stunned Lu Zhi for a moment, but the letter was soaked in water so badly that the handwriting had already dispersed. After a while, the paper turned into a ball of paste and fell back into the water from her hand.

She was about to reach into the water to dig out, when Lu Zhi sent another opened letter:

"Look again."

The letter was devastated, she took it carefully, spread it in her palm, recognized it for a while, and said with certainty:
"Written by the same person."

Not long after, the letter paper stuck to her palm, and Lu Zhi reached out to grab a lotus lantern in his palm.

He threw the candle into the water as before, and opened the letter.

I just don't know if the lotus lantern has been soaked in water for a long time, the longer it soaks, the more soft and rotten it is.

As soon as Lu Zhi took it apart, he tore off a section of the petal, and after finally spreading it, the original shape of the letter was almost hard to see.

When he was about to hand it to Yao Shouning again, she reached out and grabbed his wrist, and shouted softly:
"do not move."

The girl leaned over and lowered his hand a little:
"I'll take a look."

The letter paper is difficult to pass on, rather than being damaged during the handover process, it is better to identify it with Lu Zhi's hand.

He has a big palm and slender fingers. The wet letter paper is translucent under the light, and the smudged ink marks are like earthworms criss-crossing and crawling.

The more she looked at it, the more familiar it became. She always felt that she had seen this handwriting somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

When Yao Shouning looked down at the letter, Lu Zhi also looked down at her.

The girl's hair was crow-blue under the light, and she wore it in a simple hairstyle. The rest of the waterfall-like hair hung behind her, and a few strands were wrapped around her arms, which were wet by water, like water snakes, showing off the delicateness of her arms. tempting.

She seemed completely unaware that the two were leaning close to each other, grasping his hand, and earnestly identifying the handwriting on the paper.

Those two rows of eyelashes were thick and long, casting distinct shadows under her eyelids, and under the pointed nose tip were bitten red lips.

"Look, does this word look like the word 'pregnant'?"

As soon as Lu Zhi was distracted, he felt that she stretched out her hand and tugged on his sleeve, which brought him back to his senses.

His eyes dimmed, realizing something was wrong.

The 'river god' provoked by the Yao family is no ordinary water ghost, and the illusion it creates is so realistic.

The two were trapped in the illusion, and they haven't found a solution yet.

Naturally, he would not think that he was fascinated by female sex, and he took it for granted that he was only affected by evil spirits.

After all, Yao Shouning was fascinated by the illusion before, and his consciousness was nothing more than chaos, but he almost fell for it, so he needed her to remind him.

Lu Zhi was vigilant in his heart, but his face was calm, and he moved his eyes from her to the letter paper with a calm expression.

She put one hand on his wrist and clenched the other into a ball. She only stretched out a slender index finger and pointed to somewhere in the letter.

The handwriting was already blurred, but after she pointed it out, Lu Zhi found that the word really looked like the word 'pregnancy'.

He nodded, and once he recognized one of the characters, he could easily identify the context with guesswork:

"It's like 'March.'"

The following two characters are connected together, but after recognizing the word 'pregnancy', Yao Shouning guessed:
"It should be three months pregnant."

In other words, the person who put the lotus lantern on the river was three months pregnant when he wrote this letter.

This is a very important message.

One is to confirm that the person who wrote the letter is indeed a woman who is three months pregnant, and the other is why she wrote such a letter and put it in the river.

"Since it is the 'river god' of Bailing River who is responsible for the ghost, then this lotus lantern may be set by a woman on the bank of Bailing River."

Yao Shouning guessed this, and his mood lifted.
