I collect cultural relics in the human world

Chapter 66 The mountain of corpses rises into the sea
As if it had encountered a typhoon at sea, the originally chaotic and bustling cruise ship was now a complete mess.

The crowd screamed and fled in all directions. Tables and chairs fell to the ground. Desserts and delicacies were scattered all over the floor. They were trampled so hard that they couldn't recognize their original appearance. Even the music changed its tune and became shrill and shrill.

He Si and the other three stood among them, standing out because of their calm and composed appearance.Equally conspicuous are the two figures sitting precariously on the edge of the armrest side by side.

"That is?"

"Lin Huan!"

Jiang Huai was the first to shout, and He Si could see clearly that delicate face in the night. It once floated in the mist, but now it loomed on the edge of light and darkness.

"Stop shouting."

He Si scolded in a low voice, but Lin Huan had obviously heard the cry. She slowly turned around, her already shaky body becoming even more shaky with this movement.

"Jiang Huai, why are you here?" The girl's unfocused pupils gradually focused on Jiang Huai's face. Just by saying this name, her stagnant face wavered.

"Help...save me, I am Chen Xiangyang, I have money...a lot of money..." Another trembling voice was also sent to the three of them by Night Breeze.

Through the darkness and the out-of-control lights, He Si could not clearly see the man's appearance. She could only see that his suit was wrinkled. No matter what the original price was, it now looked very cheap.He grasped the armrest tightly with both hands. He was obviously much stronger than the woman next to him, but he was hunched over and did not dare to move.

"Lin Huan..." Jiang Huai wanted to speak, but was deprived of his words by the sea breeze.

"There is a ghost. Can't you see there is a ghost?" Chen Xiangyang seemed to find a glimmer of hope in the three people who had just appeared. He straightened his body slightly and his voice was a little louder than before.

"Shut up!" The girl turned her face away, her expression as scary as a ghost.

In just a moment, He Si saw the phantom of the ancient lady from her body, and Chen Xiangyang obviously also saw the ghost in his mouth. His throat tightened, and he closed his mouth as expected. There was fear in his eyes that was richer than darkness.

"Lin Huan," Jiang Huai called out the woman's name for the third time and finally cleared his mind, "It's not worth it for such a piece of trash."

"You know everything." What Lin Huan said was not a question, her voice was like a sigh, echoing in this dark world.

"I'm the bastard, I have no shame..."

This time, Lin Huan didn't interrupt him, or even reacted at all, but Chen Xiangyang's voice suddenly stopped. He opened and closed his mouth in vain, like a fish on the verge of death, and he could only swallow it from his throat. It makes a clicking sound.

Lin Huan looked at him as if he were looking at a dead person.

"Lin Huan, you are still young, talented, and have plenty of opportunities. But you were bitten by a dog. Will you miss your life because of it?"

Jiang Huai said, and slowly walked towards the girl sitting on the edge of the armrest. Every step he took was very light and slow, fearing to disturb the girl who was already extremely stressed.

Lin Huan didn't stop or struggle. There was neither sadness nor joy in his eyes. He just looked at Jiang Huai blankly. Seeing this, Jiang Huai thought he had a chance and quickened his pace.

"My whole life has been missed a long time ago."

"She's not in the right state." He Si looked at all this worriedly, as if the girl's soul was no longer in her body.

Lao Chaofeng nodded, motioned for He Si to walk forward with him.

Seeing that Jiang Huai had walked up to Lin Huan, he was about to reach out his hand, but Lin Huan's eyes regained their vitality and she smiled brightly at him.

"If anything happens, let's talk about it when we come down."

Lin Huan had already stretched out his hand in front of the girl. Lin Huan ducked back, and Jiang Huai immediately did not dare to move again.He saw that Lin Huan was still smiling, his eyes reflecting the dots of lights, and then he opened and closed his lips and said a word to him.

Jiang Huai didn't hear clearly. He was about to ask again, but he heard Chen Xiangyang suddenly scream, and his eyes were bleeding. The hands that were holding the railing tightly seemed to have been scratched by sharp claws. The moment his skin and flesh were torn apart, he I had to let go of my hand and fell into the cold abyss.

"do not!"

"I don't blame you. I made the mistakes in my life."

Jiang Huai just uttered a syllable, and Lin Huan suddenly shook his head, opened his hands, and fell backwards.The thin body was as graceful as a butterfly, flying in the dark sky and earth, tears were left in the air, and there was still a smile on the corner of the mouth.

Is that a butterfly?
If so, why did the raised butterfly wings fail to make her fly high, but instead led her to fall?If not, what creature is so beautiful and fragile?
Is this leap to heaven?
If so, why is heaven hidden in the dark and cold seabed instead of in the sky with stars and moon?If not, what place needs to be reached in such a way?

Jiang Huai stretched out his hand and grasped it in the air. He failed to catch the girl's afterimage, leaving only her last words - "It's not worth it for him, so what about you?"

"Do you know Lin Huan likes you?"

"Don't you know anything about the grievances Lin Huan suffered from the beginning to the end?"

not worth it!have no idea!

Lin Huan's words and He Si's words intertwined in his mind. Jiang Huai had no time to figure out what to do. He held the railing with one hand and jumped up, following the girl's falling figure regardless of where he was. He Si didn't have time. After confirming with Lao Chaofeng, he saw a black figure speeding towards him.

"go together."

"Okay." She closed her eyes and jumped off the boat.

Under the dark sea, there was another world, just like the foggy day when they left the secret room.

"Lin Huan, Lin Huan!"

He Si could hear Jiang Huai's shouting, sometimes far and sometimes near, but could not see his figure.

"little monkey."

As soon as she opened her palm, she felt a warm hand covering her palm, and a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "He has to go through this on his own."

"But, I'm worried about Lin Huan."

"Everyone has his own way to go," Lao Chaofeng said what Jiang Huai once said, "whether it's that girl, Jiang Huai, or you and me."

After he finished speaking, he brushed the thick fog in front of him with his wide sleeves. The fog seemed to have an entity, slowly spreading to both sides, forming a narrow passage, as if it was about to engulf them, but also seemed to welcome them in.

"Is there something wrong with this fog?"

"It should be what you think." Lao Chaofeng nodded, "I'm afraid it has the same hallucinogenic effect as the incense burner in the previous dream."

"You have the ability to dispel illusions..."

Before He Si said the word "method", Lao Chaofeng nodded, tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes, divided it into two halves, covered his face with half, and handed the other half to He Si.

"What kind of strange thing is this?"

He Si looked at the cloth in her hand and thought that it must have something to do with the Classic of Mountains and Seas or Baize Tu. Lao Chaofeng was really full of treasures, but he didn't cherish it too much.She was complaining in her heart, but she heard the serious old Chaofeng say: "Old Wang's family in the vegetable market next door, don't look at their small appearance, but their craftsmanship is inherited from ancient times and passed down from generation to generation. Each one is good."

"You...why did you change back?"

"I'm going to have hallucinations anyway, so why not change back to my original shape first to save me a lot of effort," Qin Jian's eyes were shining brightly outside the mask. He stared at He Si who was also covered with the fabric from the old Wang family next door, and then suggested: "Let's find the source of the fog first."

He Si pursed her lips and realized that within a few words of Qin Jian, her chaotic mind had calmed down.Jiang Huai's shout gradually faded away in his ears, but it didn't sound like there was any unexpected situation at the moment.Jiang Huai wanted to make up for the mistakes he made, but He Si knew that she also had other things to do.

"Let the little monkey out."

"Yeah." A little orange light appeared, but the fog was too thick, and the street lamp that had not been extinguished in the autumn morning was about to be eroded by the thick fog.

"Little monkey." Seeing this, He Si stretched out her hand, letting the glimmer of light stay in her palm to gain some protection.

Qin Jian's eyes became gentler when he saw this.

"Let's go, follow me." He Si had already focused on the illusion. She raised her chin towards the man behind her, showing the air of a general who was calm in the face of danger.

The glimmer of light broke through the water vapor little by little, and as the girl's white hands penetrated the fog, she entered layers of different worlds without hesitation.After a while, a hint of yellow flashed in the corner of her eyes.

Am I already hallucinating?He Si's heart sank and she quickly turned around, only to see Qin Jian looking thoughtfully in that direction.

"You saw that too?"

"It's a butterfly." Qin Jian nodded.

"Butterfly?" He Si immediately thought of the allusion Qin Jian told him before, "Could it be that the source of the fog is Luofu Mountain in Lingnan, the place where Magu ascended to immortality? But this illusion is surrounded by thick fog, and we can't even tell the direction. How to get there?"

"Not urgent."

As he spoke, Qin Jian returned to the old Chaofeng's unhurried demeanor. This kind of confident look seemed mature and prudent in the previous Mr. Qin, but now he always shows a trace of casual arrogance and dazzling light. .He Si hid her heartbeat and saw Qin Jian tapping his toes to draw a circle, and then took out a handful of white powder from the bag and sprinkled it carefully.

"what is this?"

"Mineral salt." Qin Jian didn't say much, and in the blink of an eye he had already drawn an S shape inside the circle.

"Gossip?"

He Si's doubtful words came out when he saw that the mineral salt was automatically turning into a hexagram without any wind. He Si couldn't understand it, but Qin Jian immediately pointed to the right and said, "Let's go, the mountain is right there." .”

He Si didn't ask any more questions, and strode towards the direction Qin Jian was pointing with the little light source. A bluestone path appeared at the feet of the two of them. Towering trees grew up on both sides of the empty space, and there were still trees at their roots. There is a shallow stream with a tinkling sound.

The fog gradually thinned as they progressed, and the little monkey no longer needed support. He tentatively flew upward twice. Seeing that there was no danger, he ran in front of the two of them and happily shuttled among the green leaves of the mountain forest.

The light became abundant, the shadow of the mountain loomed not far away, and the wind blew through the forest and there was a rustling sound - a very familiar rustling sound.

He Si's eyelids twitched.

The little monkey stopped moving forward, and He Si sighed inwardly. She stopped and rubbed her eyes again and again. What was the hillside in front of her? In other words, it was indeed a mountain in front of her. It was a pile of withered hands and severed heads. up the hill.

Withered hands turned into earth and rocks, long hair turned into streams, and the rustling sounds were the scenery that Doctor Guan dreamed of, but for He Si, it could only be a nightmare.

"Did we go in the wrong direction?" He Si looked helplessly at the person behind her, "Or is the old Wang family's fabric useless?"

"Ha," he didn't expect He Si to joke in front of such a scenery. Qin Jian also relaxed a lot, walked up to He Si and said, "Let's go, I haven't scratched Magu's back before."

He Si sighed, and the two of them continued to head towards the distant mountains, their pace a lot faster, but the shadow of the mountain never got closer. Only then did she take a serious look - the mountains were moving, rising and falling, and flowing with the water, because The momentum took shape and kept retreating, so the two of them could not reach the bottom of the mountain.

"There is actually a formation." Qin Jian raised his eyebrows, with interest flashing in his eyes.

"What should we do now?"

"Don't worry. Wen Dou has always been left to me. Wu Dou is Ah Si's strength."

Qin Jian said, took He Si's hand, took a sudden step forward, and crushed a bluestone slab in front of him on the left.With just this step, a strong wind blew up, flying sand and rocks. Just as He Si was about to raise her hands to cover her face, she felt herself being hugged. The reassuring fragrance of sandalwood came from her nose again, but this time it also carried the fragrance of mint, which was particularly refreshing. Wake up.

She struggled and turned her head, preferring to be blinded by the sand and stones rather than miss the wonderful moment when Qin Jian broke the formation, so in the limited visual space, she saw Qin Jian's right toe hooked, and the toes of his right foot were crushed. A stone on the bluestone board was kicked up and shot out.

With a click, a thick branch was broken by a stone and fell to the ground. It rolled rapidly along the slope and stopped falling when it hit a stone statue on the side of the road. It rotated ninety degrees, just enough to cut off the winding stream.

In an instant, the scene all around changed.

The branches were broken, the stone statues were severely beaten, and the stream upstream had nowhere to vent. The fog finally disappeared, and everything revealed its true appearance. The branches turned into withered claws, the stone statues turned into human heads, and surging black hair rose from the stream. , attacking the two of them mercilessly.

The silk from He Si's fingertips also flew out at the same moment.

The first thing to fall was the hair, which fell to the ground one after another. Before it could turn into slime, it was burned by the little monkey until not even ashes were left.

Then the withered hand couldn't dodge, and the sharp nails were chipped off, and the originally ghastly hand became pleasing to the eye.

The human head escaped very quickly. Just when the silk was about to pass through its eyes, everything suddenly disappeared.

"Ah Si is really amazing."

"It can't compare to Mr. Qin's momentum in breaking the formation."

"Where."

"Assignment and acceptance."

"Did you bring me chewing gum? Mint flavor."

"I'll feed you when I go out."

While the two were complimenting each other, the bluestone road, towering trees, tinkling streams, and even the creeping mountains in the distance quickly disappeared. High green and gray walls rose around them, and soon they were surrounded by high walls. If you look closely, they We are already in an ancient mansion, with traces of history vaguely visible on the mottled walls.

"Look." He Si pointed to the word "happy" on the red lacquered door and the red lantern hanging beside the door.

"It looks like there's something happy going on."

As soon as Qin Jian finished speaking, he heard a rustling conversation coming from next door: "It's Jiang Huai's voice."

The two looked at each other and walked towards the door.
