I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 133 Going Down to the Lake (asking for monthly tickets)

Qiao Ying and Zhang Yuanzhong exchanged a few words in private, then picked up the torch again and asked Sang Que to send her out. If the villagers found that she was missing, they would definitely be suspicious.

Zhao Qi kept scratching behind his ears, feeling a burning sensation behind his ears, as if they were about to split open and something was trying to come out.

Like Zhang Yuanzhong, he was very thirsty and wanted to drink water, and even wanted to soak his whole body in water.

Qiao Ying didn't know whether they could leave the village, so she could only pin her hopes on the daily envoy Xu San.

"My suggestion is to tie them both up."

After Qiao Ying left, Sang Que said to Xu San and Qin Ze, while Zhao Qi and Zhang Yuanzhong looked at everyone helplessly.

Qin Ze and Xu San looked at each other and nodded in agreement, then used the soul-locking rope on Zhao Qi's body to tie the two of them under the tree in the yard.

Zhao Qi knew what was important and Zhang Yuanzhong did not dare to object.

After everything was temporarily fine, Sangque continued to maintain the evil fog, and went to the donkey cart with Xia Chan to eat something.

"Xiaochan, do you still remember the way out?"

In the donkey cart, Sangque asked Xiachan, who nodded while biting the dried meat, "I remember."

Sang Que added, "The situation in this village is a bit strange. Try not to touch the villagers directly with your hair. Be careful of the human-faced snake and those black and blue filamentous insects. If something happens to the guy with water grass growing on his body when he goes down to the lake tomorrow, you should take the donkey and Xuanyu and leave the village first."

"Then what about my sister? Xiao Chan wants to protect her!" Xia Chan was determined.

Sang Que unscrewed the stopper of the kettle and handed it to Xia Chan, "Don't worry about me, I have a way to save your life. If you can get out, you can follow the man named He Buning. He is not a bad person and will protect Xiao Chan."

Xia Chan nodded doubtfully.

Meow——

Xuanyu came back and got into the carriage to rub against the mulberry bird, asking for praise and delicious food.

In the first half of the night, Sangque had been using evil fog to cover the yard. The villagers outside were busy with their own business as usual, and nothing unusual could be seen.

In the second half of the night, Xu San and Qin Ze came to replace Sang Que and asked her to put away the evil fog and take a rest. The village was quiet at this time and few villagers went out.

Sangque and Xiachan piled the food in the donkey cart aside, and the two of them squeezed in the donkey cart to take a nap for a while. Xuanyu diligently lay on the shaft of the donkey cart to keep watch for them.

Maybe she was too sleepy. Sang Que felt that just one second after she closed her eyes, she heard Xu San calling outside.

"Miss Sang, please come out and take a look."

Sangque suddenly got up from the donkey cart and rushed out. The east was turning white and it was already dawn.

Xu San, Qin Ze and Wan Biao were all standing under the tree in the yard, but Zhao Qi and Zhang Yuanzhong, who were originally tied under the tree, were gone. The knot of the soul-locking rope was intact and had fallen into a large puddle of water.

Wan Biao looked innocent, "I just took a nap, in the blink of an eye, they just disappeared!"

Xu San and Qin Ze were silent. Everyone was mentally prepared for what would happen to Zhao Qi and Zhang Yuanzhong after they were invaded by those bugs last night.

After eating something in silence, several people went to check the village separately, and sure enough, it returned to the empty state of yesterday. In the morning, everyone searched the village again, but still found nothing. Pinghu Village did not even have an ancestral hall or a temple.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly. Xu San, who was about to go down to the lake to investigate, knelt by the lake, clasped his hands together, silently chanted something, burned incense and paper, and paid tribute to the "蓑翁" he believed in.

It is said that the raincoat will exert its power on Xu San, so that Xu San will not attract the attention of water ghosts underwater, and can stay underwater for a long enough time like a fish.

Qin Ze originally believed in the "蓑翁", but when he was acting as a corpse catcher, it was inconvenient for him to offer sacrifices, so he simply killed a rooster he brought with him, sprinkled the blood into the lake, took off his bamboo hat, and wrapped the red cloth on his right hand around his forehead, completing the ritual before the corpse catcher goes into the water.

Everything was ready. Xu San gave the cigarette signal to Wan Biao and asked him to guard by the lake. If they had not come up after an hour, he would let Wan Biao release the cigarette signal to notify He Buning.

Xu San and Qin Ze sailed to the center of the lake. When they were almost in position, they bit the Tokugawa Stone Dagger in their mouths and jumped into the lake from both sides of the boat. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only ripples and sparkling water on the lake.

Sang Que tried to extend the evil mist into the lake. She was also very curious about the scene under the lake. However, when her evil mist touched the lake water, an extremely terrifying chill instantly enveloped her. The water ghost's huge arm made up of countless corpses suddenly flashed through her mind.

The corpse on her arm stretched out its hand towards her, making a roaring sound from its mouth.

Sang Que's scalp tightened, and he quickly retracted the evil fog and took two steps back.

At this moment, the mountain ghost token she had placed in her lapel suddenly fell off, and Sang Que bent down to pick it up while Wan Biao was not looking.

After picking up the token, Sang Que stood up, still in a daze.

The cold and damp mist was blown by the wind and brushed across her face. The lake, which was clear and blue just now, disappeared!
The ground beneath my feet was dry and cracked, and there were turtle shells everywhere, stacked and scattered. Each shell was covered with raised human face-like patterns, with expressions of pain.

The original lake had turned into a big pit, shrouded in mist. Everywhere you looked were strange skeletons, half fish bones and half human bones. There were blue-black human-faced snakes crawling in the eye sockets of the skeletons, which was creepy.

Sang Que silently took two steps back and turned to look towards the village.

The originally peaceful and tranquil fishing village was also shrouded in mist. Most of the houses collapsed, and only dead branches were left of the overgrown vines, entwined and covering the entire village. It looked desolate, dilapidated, and cold.

There was a rustling sound in the wind, which made people's hair stand on end. Sang Que clenched the mountain ghost token tightly, thinking that she might have been pulled into the hidden world.

This token was originally found in the hidden world, and she never knew what its function was.

She currently knows nothing about the hidden world, she only knows that it is more dangerous than the outside world.

Sang Que hurriedly checked the 'Resurrection' mark on himself to ensure that if he was suddenly attacked by a hidden terrorist existence, he would not die in confusion.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the panic in his heart, Sang Que couldn't help but complain, "I burn incense to you and ask you to bless me for a smooth journey, and you throw me to the hidden world. Do you think I'm not dying fast enough?"

Sang Que took out her pocket watch and took a look at it. Although she didn't know why the human-faced snakes in the lake would not disappear in the hidden fog, she still remembered that Liu Tianyou had told her before that people cannot be exposed to the hidden fog for more than 15 minutes.

Now she can go to the village for shelter, but...

Sang Que turned around. There was not a drop of water in the lake in the hidden world. Bones were piled up like a mountain. There was a large black shadow vaguely visible in the depths of the fog, which seemed to be a large house.

"It's all here..."

Sang Que put away his pocket watch, drew out the Baisheng Sword from his back, let Yin Tong lead the way, wrapped himself in the evil mist, and walked towards the house at the bottom of the lake.
