Mirror of Permanence

Chapter 7 Customs
"Crack..." The sound of the door being opened came from the back of Lu Ye's head.

A ray of light shot in, followed by a long shadow covering Lu Ye, with the help of the ray, Lu Ye opened his squinted eyes slightly, and looked to the side, besides his water tank, there was a row of other water tanks here. There are rows of water tanks, but those water tanks are extremely calm.

Deathly calm.

The sharp-eyed Lu Ye even saw some thin filaments shaking slowly in the water tank on the left.

Before Lu Ye could take a closer look, the door was closed again, and the light disappeared again.

"Are you here?" Lu Ye said indifferently, and the previous salty fish posture was swept away, and then he sighed heavily: "You shouldn't have come!"

"Hehehe, it's really interesting, do you feel no fear at all, or are you going crazy in extreme fear." The voice of the visitor was muffled, as if something was covering his mouth.

"You should pick it up—I'm already here." Lu Ye said disappointedly: "It's so boring, no one can pick it up even if you play tricks."

The man was not angry, and slowly came to the back of Lu Ye's head. A pair of rough hands pressed on the back of Lu Ye's head. Sensing Lu Ye's struggle, he said enviously, "What an enviable young body! , but soon, I will have too."

A needle was stuck in Lu Ye's neck, and cold liquid medicine was injected into it.

"Whether you are really crazy or fake crazy, go to hell!" After the man injected the medicine, he suddenly pushed Lu Ye's head into the water tank. The force was not too strong, but at the same time there was a humming in his mouth. With a buzzing sound, the water in the water tank stirred up again, pulling Lu Ye's body.

The space inside the water tank also seemed to expand instantly, no matter how much Lu Ye struggled, he couldn't touch the side of the water tank.

"The buzzing sound is the key. The other party controls the water flow through this sound..." Although Lu Ye was constantly ups and downs in the water, his soul core was exceptionally clear.

Maybe it was because he knew that he was just a mirror image clone, and death would only return to the fragments of the mirror, or maybe he had died once and changed him, even at this time, he could still analyze calmly.

Lu, who had choked on a lot of water, suddenly gave up resisting, followed the force of the water flow, dived underwater actively, raised his head to look at the water surface, and the shocking ability of the soul-like body was activated.

The buzzing sound faltered, and the water flow pulling Lu Ye seemed to lose control, giving Lu Ye room to move. He reached into his pocket and took out the enchanted dagger.

The dagger in his hand swung wildly, cutting off the water flow. Lu also remembered the rows of water tanks in the basement, and instead of going upstream, they continued to go down.

When Lu Ye was caught by the water before, he clearly remembered that the muddy water pulled him all the way down, and did not rise, but soon he appeared in the water tank in the basement.

Perhaps when that turbid water flow appears, the water tank is not just a water tank.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lu to see a bright light ahead.

Lu Ye, who jumped out, grabbed the frame of the water tank and quickly jumped out of the water tank. He saw that the water tank quickly became turbid, and the turbid water flowed out of the water tank. Lu Ye, who was some distance away, slowly retracted into the water tank.

The muffled voice also came from inside: "You can't escape, stranger, we will meet again soon... What are you doing, just wait for me!"

An orange-yellow stream of water, drawing a beautiful parabola, accurately fell into the water tank. Lu Ye, who was standing on the stone in the distance to finish his work, shook twice and praised himself: "The majesty is still the same as before!"

The muddy water quickly disappeared, and the water tank became an ordinary water tank again. Lu also zipped it up and began to look at the surrounding environment.

Sparse fences, overgrown vegetables, and the muddy ground covered with dry chicken droppings, it was obvious that he had come to the backyard of some village, but did not return to the mud spring temple.

"As long as there is a water tank or even where there is water, you can pass. In addition, the other party's vision is not very good. After I leave the water tank for a certain distance, I can't find my movements." Lu Ye looked at the water tank in the backyard. Cylinder, remembering what happened before, and recorded the information revealed in it.

The anomaly in Niquan Village is really related to water.

It's just obvious that this anomaly is not just the so-called accident that caused the mythical creature to wake up and move, but there is a black hand behind the scenes, and then controls this abnormal event.

These are two completely different difficulty events. If the mythical creature is only awakened, then the other party will not care much about human beings who are as small as food, and the other party is either half-awakened or half-unblocked, and the harm to the investigators is not so great. .

On the contrary, it is the man behind the scene who is also a human being. He will secretly watch the investigators' movements, and if he does mental calculations or not, he may be able to kill the investigators team.

"It seems that we need to find an opportunity to remind Zhai Di and the others." Lu also touched his neck, and the man shot something into his body, but until now Lu has not felt any discomfort, and he doesn't know why. what effect.

I squinted my eyes and searched the house quickly.

Empty house, no clues.

Presumably, the mastermind behind the scenes would not leave his identity information everywhere.

But it was another discovery that made Lu also raise his eyebrows.

In the master bedroom of this family, Lu also found a small wooden box made of wood at the foot of the bed.

There was no surprise when I opened the wooden box. There was also a strand of hair and a piece of yellow paper with someone's name written on it.

Holding the yellow paper with Li Yu's name written on it, Lu Ye searched the house again, and finally found the household registration book of this family in a cabinet.

Li Yu is the son of the family of three.

This discovery gave Lu some ideas.

Pushing open the door and going out, I found that it was on a remote path in a mountain village.

Lu Ye randomly found an empty house, went straight to the master bedroom, and soon found another small wooden box in his hand, which also contained tiny hairs and yellow paper.

The name on the yellow paper is the family's daughter.

"Is it a custom?" Lu also nodded. This mountain village seems to have a custom of putting the lanugo of his offspring, together with the name written on yellow paper, in a small wooden box made at the foot of the bed, and pressing it against the bed. at the foot of the bed.

Similar customs also exist in other places, such as lucky money, which mostly means to protect the healthy growth of future generations and prevent them from dying.

If I remember correctly, Zhang Chengxu asked the old village head about Miao Zhu's information before. The Miao Zhu's surname was Liu, one of the few people in Niquan Village who had a foreign surname other than Li. He was an old bachelor and had no children. Choose to become a temple wish.

So who is Liu Yu in the small wooden box under the bed in the mud spring temple?
Is the black shadow that flashed past inside one day the same as Liu Miaozhu, and is he the mastermind behind the scenes?
With doubts in mind, Lu Ye took a shortcut to the grove, and finally found a family with cooking smoke.

After knocking on the door knocker, Lu could also hear the voice inside stagnating for a moment, and everything fell into silence.

Until a small cough sounded.
