Chapter 1357 The Man Fish and the Ghost Firefly
Not long after, Shangguan and others had already turned back.
It was obvious that Ji Ning and the others had also heard Shangguan talk about the fish, and there was a bit of nervousness on each of their faces.
When they returned here, Li Jia and Black Mudan were surprised again when they saw the tents that had been set up and the complete marching stoves.
They remembered very clearly that among all the people, they were the only two who brought a backpack with them. The others didn't take anything with them. So where did this tent and other things come from? Could it be that someone had been preparing here for a long time and was accidentally discovered by Tang Feng and the others? But who could be prepared for this?
The couple walked over with Shangguan Ji Ning with expressions of nervousness and horror.
Before any of them could ask questions, Tang Feng had already said calmly: "Let's eat first. We'll talk about the rest after eating."
Since Tang Feng said this, the others naturally couldn't say anything more, so they all took the tableware and started eating.
It must be admitted that the skills of these cooks are quite good. Even if the conditions are a little simple, the meals they can cook are quite delicious. But at this moment, everyone is not thinking about tasting the food, but just thinking about it. Eat quickly.
Several people were eating their meals in a muffled voice. After a while, they were all full and full.
After simply packing up his things, Tang Feng called everyone together. Under everyone's anxious and nervous eyes, he said to Zixuan: "Tell everyone about this situation."
Zixuan nodded. At this moment, the expression on her face had returned to its previous calmness. Her brows were also relaxed. She said to everyone in a very calm tone: "Don't be nervous, everyone. There is no big problem here." , but under the lake, there is probably some kind of secret passage mechanism that can lead to the tomb, but it is not clear which one it leads to."
Everyone originally thought that Zixuan would directly talk about the fish called the fish. Unexpectedly, she said such words, and they couldn't help but feel a little baffled.
Xue Rui scratched his hair and said with a puzzled face: "Miss Zixuan, how did you know there is a secret passage down here?"
"This lake is extremely clear, not just because there is no pollution, but because there are no aquatic plants or algae in it." Zixuan cast her gaze in the direction of the lake, her eyes still looking very calm, "No matter what, Some other creatures don’t actually exist, so they are so clean.”
"It's true that there are no aquatic plants in this lake, and the stones at the bottom of the lake don't feel slippery. I guess there is indeed no moss or algae, but -" Xue Panpan looked at him with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. Those fish bones on the ground.
Not only were the leftover bones left by Xiao Hui and Xiao Tao, when they were playing in the lake, they could also feel small fish swimming by. These fish must have never seen people before and were not afraid of them. They might even Swimming close to their bodies, not feeling the slightest fear of their existence, nor do they avoid it.
Zixuan understood what she meant, nodded, and pointed to the fish bones with her fingers, saying: "This kind of fish is called the croaker. If nothing else, there should be only this kind of fish in the whole lake, and this kind of fish." A small shrimp called a ghost firefly.”
"Boy fish, ghost firefly," Lin Mengjia repeated, and said to Zixuan in confusion: "What's the problem with these two? Why are there only these two kinds of fish and shrimp in the water? This and that ancient tomb, What does it matter?"
Listening to Lin Mengjia's series of questions, Zixuan looked at her and said: "Madam, have you ever heard of a saying that when the water is clear, there will be no fish? The reason why there is nothing else in the water is because the water is clear and no living things can grow. , and Shui Qing killed all the living things in the ancient tomb because of a certain magic technique."
"But, that fish -" Li Jianming looked puzzled.
Those two fish were killed by him with his own hands, and they were still alive and kicking when he held them in his hands. If there were no living things in the lake, what were these fish?
"Both fish and ghost fireflies are things that grow in the underworld. These fish and shrimps don't seem to have anything special, but they have a magical function, which is that they can make people's spirits attach to them. If these fish are not possessed by souls, they are just like ordinary fish, but once they are possessed by souls, their eyes will turn red after being killed."
When she said this, Zixuan pointed towards the direction of the lake with her hand and said: "According to the situation in the lake, all the living creatures before have actually been killed. These crocodile fish and ghost fireflies have actually been killed." They have been dead for a long time, but these things that look alive and kicking now are actually the souls of people on them. To use a more popular term, it is called resurrecting the corpse."
Her words made everyone stunned.
Li Jianming's face turned a little pale, and he stammered: "Then, did I just kill two people?"
"No." Seeing Li Jianming's panic, Zixuan raised the corner of her mouth and smiled slightly.
Although what she just said sounded horrifying, her smile made people relax a little. Since Zixuan still had the heart to smile, it meant that this matter might not be as scary as they thought.
Sure enough, Zixuan went on to explain: "These souls are actually not complete souls, they are just fragments. They are just randomly attached to the corpses of these fish and shrimps. They can only make these fish swim as if they are alive." Moving and keeping them immortal does not pose any threat to us, nor can we call them human beings.”
Lin Mengjia had already understood Zixuan's words and said in surprise: "These soul fragments came out of the tomb. Only if there is a connection with the tomb in the lake water can they attach to the fish and shrimps." Above?"
The others also suddenly realized, nodding their heads one after another, and their eyes were unconsciously looking in the direction of the lake. Looking at it now, their eyes were very different from before.
"Yes, that's it, but -" Zixuan looked at Tang Feng again, "There are so many soul fragments here, which shows that there must be many wandering souls, but there are no such places like this. The slightest trace of Yin Qi leaked, it seems that the restriction here is quite strong, and the person who created this whole Feng Shui and designed this tomb must be extraordinary."
Tang Feng was not surprised at all by this, and just said lightly: "If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible for the demon spirit to guard the tomb."
