Mutated Tao Chapter 72: Longmen Village
"This is.....what.....thing?"
When he saw those eyes, Li Huowang had a strange feeling. He felt that his thoughts had slowed down, and everything around him became strange. At this moment, it seemed that he was not lying in the water, but suspended in mid-air.
The silt at the bottom of the lake began to surge, and the turbid lake water quickly floated up. Floating up with the silt were the seven weird eyes that kept twisting.
When the silt completely covered Li Huowang's body, he saw an ugly and rotten giant mouth that was bigger than a mountain peak, and densely packed black tentacles protruding from the throat of the big mouth.
"No...you can't...this..." Li Huowang pulled out the long sword behind him with all his strength.
Just when he stood up and stabbed towards his neck, those tentacles entangled instantly, piercing the sharp barbs into Li Huowang's body, and dragging them into the **** mouth.
Looking at the tumbling mud in the distance, and the crowd struggling in the water.
Yuan Er, who was standing on the small sampan, looked at the old man supported by him with a trace of anxiety.
"Grandpa, let's go back, with He Bo here, they are dead."
The old man gave him a cold look, then withdrew his hand abruptly, "Go back to the village!"
Hearing the anger in the old man's voice, Yuan Er panicked.
But he still can't do much now, he can only put **** in his mouth and blow a retreat whistle.
The small sampans turned quickly and began to shuttle through the dense reeds.
The entire reed pond is huge, and it is completely a natural labyrinth.
Ke Yuan's family was born and raised here, so they are very familiar with this place.
After going around for a while, the small sampan finally came to a small island made of reeds. This is their home.
The entire island, including the small village on the island, is woven from reeds.
From the outside, the scenery looks very spectacular, but in Yuan Er's eyes, he has long been tired of seeing it. Now he has other things to worry about.
Looking at the master's grandfather leaning on a cane, he got off the boat and walked towards the stockade without saying a word. Yuan Eryi gritted his teeth and quickly followed.
Seeing this scene, the other Yuan family followed silently, and the atmosphere in the entire water village became a little depressing.
The stockade doesn't look big, but it's not small at all, and there's even room to raise pigs and ducks.
Finally, Yuan Er followed his grandfather and arrived in a lobby made of huge fish bones and woven reeds.
There are candles and incense burning inside. In the center of the hall is a vivid ink painting of a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Below the painting are five pairs of tablets. This is the ancestral hall of the Yuan family.
"Kneel down to Uncle He and the ancestors!"
With a dignified expression, Yuan Er's knees softened, and he immediately knelt down on the ground, and smacked three heads hard at the memorial tablet.
At this time, he is no longer the boss of the ship, but a junior who has made a big mistake and is waiting to be punished.
After walking back and forth a few times, the old man at the side suddenly raised the cane in his hand and slammed it on Yuan Er's back and head.
The force of the blow was extremely heavy, and it didn't take long for Yuan Er's head to be broken and bloody, and his whole body was black and blue.
But even if this is the case, Yuan Er, who clenched his teeth, did not dare to move.
Wait until the old man was tired and gasping for breath while leaning on crutches, then Yuan Er turned around and smacked his head heavily at the old man. "Grandpa, I was wrong."
"Tell me, what's wrong with you?" The old man glared at him and asked.
"I was too reckless. I didn't find out the details of the seedlings, so I rashly made a nest. I didn't expect that there was a hard stubble in the nest. The dozens of brothers who died were still the two nephews of the gods. Niece, it's all my fault."
"Hmph! So you still know!" The anger on the old man's face weakened slightly.
After a while, Yuan Er struggled a few times, and said in a voice full of reluctance: "But I asked that Taoist to throw a vine before, but that kid couldn't even understand! "
"Puff." With a sound, the tip of the crutch pierced Yuan Er's left eye, directly and forcefully piercing his eye.
"Ah!!" Yuan Er covered his blind eyes with a pained expression, rolling all over the floor in pain.
But after rolling a few times, he couldn't care about his injuries, knelt down again tremblingly, and kowtowed heavily to the old man.
Looking at the younger generation in front of him, the old man sighed with concern.
"Second boy, don't think that you have hugged Yangzi a few times alone, and you just look down on the sky and the earth. Our business seems to be a worthless business, but it is really not easy to do it for a long time. Keep your eyes open. Be quick!"
"I originally planned to give this home to you, but you have done something wrong and you still blame others. This kind of heart really makes me worry."
When Yuan Er heard this, his expression was a little flustered, he quickly ignored the pain, and said, "Grandfather! I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I will see the wrong seedling again in the future, you Just poke my other eyeball blind, and I will not hesitate."
"One eyeball is worth dozens of lives? You are so beautiful!"
Following the gloomy-faced old man waved his hand lightly, two people came out of the other people who were watching the show outside the door, and there were all kinds of weird white fish bones on the plates in their hands.
"If you commit a crime, you will be punished. It is the rule of the whole world, and our Yuan family is no exception. If you can survive the "Jumping Dragon Gate", even if this matter is over, you will still be the family, but if you If you can’t hold on, I’ll give you a big burial.”
Seeing those weird bone spurs approaching his skin, Yuan Er's body trembled involuntarily, but the old man next to him made him not even think about running away.
The twisted and twisted bone spurs slowly cut through the skin and muscles, and finally stuck together with the human bones.
Just when Yuan Er was gritting his teeth, planning to endure the next torture.
A shout outside the door saved him. "Grandfather! It's not good, go and see it! The lake has turned red!"
When a group of people Wuyang Wuyang came to the edge of the island, they stood there in shock and did not dare to say a word.
I saw that the entire lake in the reed marsh was dyed dark red, and the air was filled with a fishy smell.
The other people in Liushen Wuzhu subconsciously looked at the backbone of the entire village, their grandfather.
After the old man's expression changed a few times quickly, he waved his hand. "Open the altar and offer incense!"
After a while, the incense and tribute were ready, and a group of people knelt there, kneeling and worshiping the reddened lake.
Seeing that the lake water still showed no signs of fading, the old man turned around resolutely and walked towards several women holding their children.
These children have changed into brand new clothes. The hair is also tied with two horn braids with red thread.
The old man solemnly picked up a red pen stained with cinnabar, and gently tapped a little between the eyebrows of the two children.
The two children obviously didn't realize anything, and they giggled.
The old man first touched their heads with his hands, then sighed softly, and closed his eyes in disbelief. "Go."
The two young and middle-aged men on the side snatched two children who were less than three years old from the crying woman, carried them and walked towards the lake.
Just as they walked by the lake and held up the boys and girls in their hands, they suddenly stopped.
"Huh?" The old man squinted his eyes and looked into the dark red water, as if something was about to come out of it.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a drenched Taoist walked onto the shore with his head bowed, and something was stuck in his neck.
After the old man identified it carefully, he realized that it was a long sword entangled in aquatic plants.
