My Iyashikei Game Chapter 703: The Shrine of Dreams
Chapter 704 The Shrine of Dreams
The ceremony of worshiping the lake **** did not go wrong, the problem is that the worshipers are different from before.
Guan Miao glanced at Han Fei quietly, but didn't dare to continue, he was afraid that Han Fei would say something outrageous again.
After the copper coins fell into the water, the speed of the wooden boat was much faster. It seemed that the water ghosts in the lake really only wanted to collect passing money.
The water collides with the wooden boat, and the gurgling sound seems to have a special melody, which makes people's hearts rise and fall involuntarily.
The more they paddled towards the center of the lake, the quieter the surrounding area became, as if they had come to another space.
Here there are only bottomless lakes and endless nights.
The sense of direction is gradually weakening, and the people on the boat feel that their bodies are undergoing subtle changes. They are obviously sitting on the boat, but they feel that their bodies are slowly sinking.
Everything seems to be an inescapable dream. The consciousness can clearly perceive that the body is flooded by cold water, the sight is submerged by the lake, and breathing gradually becomes difficult.
"Don't fall asleep!"
Sitting on the bow of the boat, Han Fei spoke suddenly. He waved Xu Qin's curse into the bodies of the three companions, and the piercing pain from the heart brought them back to their senses.
"The curse I cast on you won't hurt you, it just prevents you from being brought into the dream." At this critical moment, Han Fei can only take the most concise and effective way to deal with it, using curses to fight poison with poison, although it will be a little painful , but it's better than dying in a dream.
When Yan Le and the lifeguard were cursed, they only felt severe pain, while Guan Miao showed strong anxiety after being exposed to Xu Qin's curse.
A lot of blood oozes from under his turban, and there are scars that look like fish scales falling off. What's even more frightening is that some black worms crawled out of the wound on Guan Miao's skin.
Those bugs also seemed to come out of the black cocoon. They were completely different from butterflies in appearance, extremely ugly, like the ugliness and disaster that brought together the whole world.
The lifeguard wanted to avoid Guan Miao, but the boat was so big that he could only keep curling his body back to prevent the bugs from crawling on him.
"Old man, are these parasites on your body? Do you usually like to drink unboiled water?" The lifeguard endured for a while before asking.
"I don't know when these things entered my body." Guan Miao shook his head, and he took off the blood-stained scarf, revealing that somewhat scary face: "I remember only I keep dreaming, and then my body starts to get sick."
"As long as you have dreamed of becoming a fish, fish scales will grow on your body, and these scar-like things will appear. Can dreams really affect reality?"
After checking the bodies of the old people, the lifeguard was surprised. He thought that dreams could only bring people mental pain and torture. Who would have thought that dreams could also change a person's body.
"Non-stop nightmares affect a person's heart, spirit, and consciousness. The real cause of the body's changes is the cocoon." Han Fei also has some understanding of dreams: "Dreams seem to have all kinds of There are different worms in each cocoon, and those worms are probably also made by humans.”
Han Fei remembered the human chrysalis created by butterflies, which turned some unique souls into worms, allowing those corrupt souls to complete their new life in another body in this way.
The wooden pulp repeatedly set off water splashes, and the boat rowed toward the dark depths for another ten minutes, but the island in the middle of the lake that the old man said still did not appear.
Both the lifeguard and Yan Le's mother became restless. They promised to arrive in 20 minutes, but now half an hour has passed.
"Could we have been deceived?" Yan Le's mother stared at Guan Miao, she opened her mouth wide, and a grown woman's face appeared in her throat. She didn't care whether Han Fei could destroy the dream ceremony, but only cared about her daughter's safety, and Han Fei took advantage of this to tie her to her side.
"Soon, it should be soon." Guan Miao didn't know what to do, he took out a compass-like thing from under his clothes, and after fiddled with it a few times, he found that the pointer on the compass kept turning: "How could this happen? ?”
Picking up the flashlight in the cabin, Guan Miao tied it to a rope, and slowly lowered it into the lake.
The bright light from the flashlight dispelled part of the darkness and allowed everyone to see clearly the bottom of the wooden boat.
"What is that!"
Right below the boat, there is a large shadow, which seems to be following the boat.
"Too big!"
Roughly estimated, the shadow was more than six meters long, twice as long as the wooden boat.
"Water monster?" The lifeguard player has never seen such a big fish in a freshwater lake, and judging by its size, it doesn't look like a fish at all!
Everyone on the boat panicked, and Guan Miao was also stiff. He didn't know whether to put the flashlight back. The underwater thing seemed to have sensed the light.
The water flow has obviously become turbulent, and the wooden boat has a lot of ups and downs, and it may capsize at any time.
"Quick! Turn off the flashlight!"
The shadow under the water floated forward. When Guan Miao heard Han Fei's voice, he immediately pulled the rope back and turned off the flashlight.
The surrounding area returned to darkness, only the bow of the ship still had a faint fire.
"The water monster seems to be following the light of the lantern? I seem to know why turning on the lantern can break the block of the water ghost." The lifeguard glanced at the lantern at the bow: "The underwater monster was attracted by the fire and swam to the water. Under the boat, of course those water ghosts dare not come over, they are not showing face to your ancestors, but are afraid of that huge shadow."
Guan Miao has lived by the water for so long, and this is the first time he has seen an underwater giant. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "You can't say that, since my grandfather's generation, there have been rumors about lighting lanterns." According to the guide, that water monster might be a friend of my ancestors."
"Don't talk, keep quiet." Han Fei also saw something underwater. His eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he could vaguely see the outline of the giant shadow with the help of the flashlight.
The water surface was no longer calm. Han Fei stood at the bow of the boat, carefully observing the changing water patterns. His expression gradually became serious. After a while, he shouted at several people: "Hold on to the wooden boat!"
Just a second after Han Fei finished speaking, the bottom of the wooden boat was hit hard, and the whole boat was almost overturned!
"Pad forward! Go to the island in the middle of the lake!"
Han Fei had been paddling for half an hour, and it would be too late to go back now, so they could only move forward desperately.
Before the wooden boat stabilized, Han Fei grabbed the wooden paddle and started paddling.
The impact of the underwater monster seemed to be some kind of signal, the darkness was shattered, and the surrounding black water plants quickly fled.
"Quick!"
The four people on the boat did not dare to stop, and tried their best to row forward. The huge shadow did not intend to let them go, and the impact just now seemed to be just a test.
An indescribable sense of urgency hit several people. All they can do now is to protect the only boat. If it falls into the water, the consequences will be disastrous.
When faced with an unknown danger, Yan Le’s mother was the first to respond. She knew that her daughter could not swim. Not letting the worst happen, she reached down her throat and pulled out a **** sac.
"This is carrion with the smell of 'dream', those ghosts should like it very much."
The meat sac is not big, the skin is similar to an orange, covered with white and brown lines, and it will shrink and expand regularly when touched by hands.
Yan Le's mother waved her arm and threw the thing into the distance.
The stinking meat sac splashed black blood droplets, and when it was about to fall into the lake, a huge wave rose, and a huge black shadow jumped out of the water, and the torn mouth instantly swallowed the meat sac.
"Oh my God!" The water spray drenched the lifeguard's body, and he stared blankly at the place a few meters away behind him. The scene of the black figure jumping out of the water just now was deeply imprinted in his heart.
"Row quickly! Don't be dazed!" Yan Le's mother spat out a mouthful of blood, she grabbed the rope on the boat and tied Yan Le to the wooden boat: "The monsters at the bottom of the lake are very sensitive to the breath of 'dream', they are all affected Without the influence of the resurrection ceremony, did Meng prepare an inhuman body for herself?"
My mind is the largest lake in the city. The center of the lake is very deep, and it is also connected to the underground river. It is said that through those rivers, it can even reach every corner of the city.
If the mind is compared to the brain of a city, the countless underground rivers are like nerves and blood vessels extending from the brain. There must be a deeper reason for the dream to hold the resurrection ceremony here.
The underwater monster was attracted by the meat sac, which bought time for Han Fei and the others. They rowed desperately forward, and finally a small island appeared in their field of vision.
The island is looming in the dark night, and its shape looks like a black eye.
Hope was right in front of them, and the four of them worked extremely hard. As the distance between them and the island in the center of the lake got closer and closer, the surroundings fell into dead silence again. There were murderous intentions hidden under the surface of the water, but there was nothing but calm above the water surface.
"Did you hear the child crying?" Guan Miao raised his head suddenly, his eyes were unknowingly different from normal people's, some looked like fish's eyeballs, very scary to look at.
"It seems that there is really..." The lifeguard pricked up his ears and looked in the direction of the crying sound. On the left side of the island in the middle of the lake, there was a broken boat upside down on the water, with a bamboo basket hanging from the tail of the broken boat. , There are a lot of old clothes stuffed inside, and the crying of the baby comes from the bamboo basket.
"You worship the lake **** and still take the baby as a living sacrifice?" Han Fei glanced at Guan Miao, and his hands kept moving to keep the speed of the boat.
"How is that possible!" Guan Miao shook his head again and again: "The sacrifices are only three animals and..."
"And what?"
"Anyway, we will never sacrifice a baby, it's too hysterical." Guan Miao lowered his head, not daring to look at Han Fei again.
"Then we don't need to save the baby. Who would take the baby out to fish for no reason? The bamboo basket should contain other things." Han Fei is not hard-hearted, he just can at any time stay sane.
"Is something else pretending to be a baby? But this cry is too similar." The lifeguard is a good person, otherwise he would not be a lifeguard, the salary is not much, and sometimes he has to risk his life.
"Listen to me!" Han Fei was the backbone of the team, and he continued to row towards the island in the middle of the lake without hesitation.
Seeing them passing by the broken boat, the old clothes on the bamboo basket suddenly slipped off, and an ugly fish without scales jumped out of the bamboo basket and fell into the water.
"That fish can still cry as a baby?" There is a large black thing crawling.
If Han Fei and the others approached just now, as long as they entered the water, they would probably be targeted by those crawling water bugs.
"What's wrong with this world?" The lifeguard feels that this world is very problematic, it is like the end of the living, all kinds of strange stories and monsters emerge in endlessly, and there is no safe place.
After avoiding the broken ship, Han Fei and the others successfully approached the island in the middle of the lake.
Under the guidance of Guan Miao, they tied the boat to the simple ferry on the shore as quickly as possible, and the four quickly went ashore.
“Don’t forget what’s on the boat, bring it all to the island!”
Keeping his feet on the ground, the sense of crisis in his heart faded a little. Han Fei hugged the statue and looked around.
The island in the center of the lake can be seen at a glance. Apart from various strange rocks and trees, the most striking thing is a three-story stone house.
"Put the statue of the lake **** into the shrine and complete the second half of the ceremony, and it should be enough." Guan Miao felt hopeful in his heart. He didn't expect that everyone could actually successfully land on the island. I didn't even notice that my voice was significantly different from before, as if I was soaked in water, my pronunciation became more and more blurred.
Walking along the stone road of worshiping the gods, Han Fei hugged the statue with a strange expression on his face. He vaguely felt that something was calling him.
It was clearly the resurrection ceremony of the dream in his mind, but he felt a bit of pain deep in his heart, as if he was the one who was sacrificed and tortured!
The closer you get to the stone house, the stronger the feeling, but at this time he doesn't care about thinking about so many things. With Xu Qin and the knife of death, he is confident that he can deal with most of the ghosts.
Soon, the four of them came to the door of the stone house. There were pagoda trees all around, most of which were dead, and only a few trees near the stone house were particularly lush.
"Just open the door and go in. The next ceremony needs to be done by you alone." Guan Miao clenched his hands, looking a little nervous.
"I go in alone?"
"Yes, normally, only orphans who participated in the ceremony can board this isolated island. Everyone else is waiting for him in the boat. After he has placed the statue, everyone will go back together." Guan Miao said in the village tradition of.
"Is that true?" Han Fei grabbed Guan Miao's collar and said, "Come with me."
Pushing open the door of the stone house, a stench of dampness came to the nostrils.
The inside of the stone house is not the ground, it is completely hollowed out, and it is a bottomless pool.
Holding a flashlight to illuminate, under the turbid water surface, you can vaguely see something swimming.
"The wooden ladder is on the left wall, and the shrine is on the top of the stone roof, suppressing the entire Great Lake." The old man pointed to the third floor of the stone house.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger~IndoMTL.com~There was a rotten wooden ladder hanging on the wall of the dilapidated stone house, which led to the top floor of the stone house.
In the center of the top of the stone roof, that is, at the center of the entire mind, a wooden shrine was built.
This shrine seems to be reinforced every year, and its appearance is different from all the shrines Han Fei has seen before.
"Open the shrine and put the statue in."
It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. The wooden ladder is badly rotted, and if you step on the air, you will fall directly into the pool where something is hidden. Moreover, the statue was very heavy, and it was very difficult to hold the statue with one hand, and it was necessary to carefully run along the wooden ladder to the top of the stone house.
Staying at the door for a while, Han Fei picked up the statue of the lake god: "All the shrines in the shrine world are some kind of symbol. I want to see what the shrine prepared by 'Meng' looks like?"
Moving his arm, Han Fei entered the stone house. He grabbed the wooden ladder with one hand and climbed up.
The sound of cracks expanding continued to resound on the wooden ladder, and the sawdust fell from a high place, sank into the deep pool, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
