Chapter 92 Xuntunan The Legend of the Lake Monster
Shisheng looked at the old man blankly for a while, and then whispered to Xiaobai: "Did you see that old man? I dreamed of him last night."
"You said you." Liu Bolun also heard this, so he smiled at Shisheng and said, "If you leave the little junior sister who looks like flowers and jade beside you, why are you dreaming about the old man doing?"
The young man was thin-skinned. Although he knew that Liu Bolun was joking, he still blushed. Shisheng said helplessly, "Don't make trouble, I'm really not kidding."
After saying that, he told everyone the original story of the strange dream he had made last night. When everyone saw Shisheng's serious expression, they no longer doubted it. At the same time, they were very puzzled by the scene in his dream. Liu Bolun patted Li Hanshan on the shoulder and said to him: "It's not right, Hanshan. In the past, you were not the only one who could dream of these strange things in your dreams? What did you dream last night?"
"That's such a big piece of melon." Li Hanshan opened his hands and measured the size of the people, and then said to them: "I haven't finished eating all night."
Everyone smiled bitterly, thinking that the boy was getting more and more confused as he slept. Shisheng looked at the old man and thoughtfully, and suddenly he thought of the clue of magic weapon he had heard before, which included the sentence "Old old man's white hair". Based on the dream last night, is there any connection between this?
And at this moment, a shadow on the white donkey said weakly: "Dear brothers, do you want to know the origin of the old man? I know."
It turned out that after Chen Tunan and his friends came to this town, the first thing they had to do was to investigate all the white-haired old men here based on clues. Because the world was not good, many people would not live old and die, so it was not difficult to get worse. It can be said that all the old men who were over 60 years old and lived here were checked, but they still had no clue. The old man Shisheng mentioned seemed not to be a local. He heard that he came here two months ago, and his purpose seemed to be looking for someone.
Looking for someone? Shisheng asked, "Who is he looking for?"
Zhang Ying thought about it and said, "It's a woman. The old man seems to be a little confused, but he is a real 'person'. Senior Brother Tunan thought he was a little strange at the time, so he followed him secretly for several days, but he still had no gains. He was really just an ordinary person."
Why don’t I believe it? Shisheng remembered the former Mr. Bao. At the beginning, they also thought that this young master was just an "ordinary person"? Who would have thought that this kid was actually full of treasures?
Liu Bolun was bold and careful, so he said to Shisheng: "Why do we go and defraud this little old man?"
Shisheng nodded, so he walked towards the old man with Liu Bolun and came behind him. Shisheng patted his shoulder with his hand. The old man looked back at them and it was indeed the same as the person he saw in the dream! But his temperament seemed a little wrong. How could I say that this old man looked much happier than the old man in the dream.
So Shisheng bowed to the white-haired old man and said, "Hello, old man, I heard you are looking for someone?"
Shisheng thought that if yesterday's nightmare was really the old man's cause, he would definitely give enlightenment, but from the old man's eyes he could see that he had never seen them before. When the old man heard Shisheng's question, he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, little brother, my purpose here is to find her. Have you ever seen her?"
After saying that, he turned around and took out a roll of brocade, carefully shook it open, and then said to the two of them: "It's her, have you ever seen it?"
The two of them looked up, but saw that the brocade cloth depicted a portrait of a character in ink, which was painted a young beauty, standing against a tree holding a small fan. The painting was quite vivid. The beauty was really charming and shy, but Shisheng and Liu Bolun did not recognize her. So Shisheng shook his head and said, "I don't recognize her, but can I ask why my father is looking for the person in this painting?"
"It's useless to tell you," the old man sighed, and then said, "It's useless to tell you, alas..."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, and the owner of the snack shop was chopping the dough with a knife. Seeing that he was about to leave, he smiled and said to the two of them, "Let him go. This old man has been here for a long time, and I am afraid he will be crazy. How can such a beautiful person be there in our small town?"
When the old man heard what he said, he was not angry, and he still looked at the beauty in the painting with great worries. Seeing that he was about to leave, Liu Bolun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. He smiled and then pulled the old man to the side. The old man said angrily: "What do you want to do?"
Liu Bolun and Shisheng looked at each other. His personality was simple and crude. Since they already thought that the old man was a clue to the magic weapon, they went straight into the air and said in a low voice: "Old man, stop acting with us, we already know."
"What do you know?" The old man looked at Liu Bolun with some confusion.
Liu Bolun smiled mysteriously at him and said, "Aren't you the one he sent to give us babies?"
Speaking of this, Liu Bolun pointed to the sky and said softly: "To be honest, your brother Bao Che had handed us the first treasure last time. The situation here is very complicated, so don't go around with us. Take it out quickly and you can get it together with us."
In order to make the old man believe it, Liu Bolun even took out the treasure gourd and shook it in front of him, indicating that he did not lie, but the old man pulled his hand back, and then cursed at Liu Bolun: "What a mess, why can't I understand what you said?"
Seeing that he refused to admit it, Liu Bolun was busy explaining, but the old man seemed to really not understand what he said. He turned around and spit out, and then cursed: "I met a madman early in the morning. It's so unlucky, bah."
"No, who do you think is crazy? Who are we crazy? Hello!" Liu Bolun was so angry that he wanted to chase after the old man when he left, but he was pulled by Shisheng. Shisheng said to Liu Bolun with a red face and thick neck, "Stop chasing him, I think this old man really didn't lie to us."
This is true, because last time in Macheng, they were looking for Mr. Bao in Baibao House, while Mr. Bao was actually looking for them in the dark. Mr. Bao gave him only one feeling, that is, he was hidden and he also had a unique temperament, which was that he was not allowed to show it. This temperament or smell, which Shisheng had never seen in others.
But in the old man, Shisheng smelled nothing except the smell of aging. It seemed that he was really just a mortal. So when Shisheng told Liu Bolun what he was thinking, Liu Bolun also spat: "It's true, I didn't expect that I wasted time here early in the morning."
After seeing that the old man was really not the second magic weapon they were looking for, the two of them got along with each other. The situation they were facing is not optimistic now. Before leaving the town, the careful Liu Bolun also inquired about the lake with the locals. But unexpectedly, the locals' expressions changed after knowing that they were going to the lake, and they advised them not to get close to it.
Everyone was puzzled, so they asked in detail why? The fellow villager said to everyone mysteriously: "There is a water monster in that lake."
Water monster?
It turns out that locals say that there are water monsters in the lake in the mountain that can eat people, and anyone who approaches the lake will not get any good ending. According to legend, outsiders used to accidentally enter the mountain and sleep by the lake at night. When they wake up late at night, they hear ghostly singing and dancing, and there are even more illusions that are stunning. Therefore, since then, no one at the foot of the mountain dares to go fishing again.
As Doumi disciples, everyone naturally would not take the rumors about this water monster seriously, because even if there was a water monster, they would work together to do nothing useful. Seeing that they could not find any useful clues, everyone left the town and led the way with the shadow, trying to avoid the monster hunters while walking towards the lake.
The mountain road is hard to walk, and they only found the lake that Zhang Ying mentioned after noon. This lake is not small. As the saying goes, three hundred years of change of land, I don’t know when it appeared in this group of mountains. There are many trees on both sides, and the trees block the wind. The lake surface is like a mirror reflecting the blue sky and white clouds after autumn.
Zhang Ying led everyone to the mudflat and said with great sorrow on his face: "It's here. The thieves chased us and came here that day. I, I was knocked out here."
Everyone looked up, but saw that there were indeed many footprints and traces of blood mixed with soil on the mud flat. It seemed that there was indeed a fierce battle here. The shadow struggled to climb down the donkey, then knelt on the ground, and cried: "The four brothers are buried under the tree. I have no use. I can only choose to live alone. Everyone, I swear to avenge you!"
After saying that, the shadow worshiped four earthen graves under a big tree. Everyone felt a little sad when they saw this scene, especially Li Hanshan, because he knew all four of them. When he thought that everyone was still alive when they met last time, they did not expect that this time they had been separated by heaven and man forever.
This further strengthened their determination to take revenge. After everyone worshiped the four brothers, Liu Bolun and Shisheng came to the mudflat again. Liu Bolun looked at Shisheng and saw him lying on the ground and smelling it constantly. Liu Bolun knew that he was looking for the smell of Senior Brother Tunan, so he asked him: "How is it?"
Shisheng smelled it for a while before he got up and said, "Fortunately it has not rained these days. Look, this footprint seems to be from Senior Brother Tunan."
After saying that, he pointed one in the pile of messy footprints for Liu Bolun to see. Liu Bolun really admired him. Over the past five years, Shisheng's nose seemed to be becoming more and more flexible. If you want to say that the smell is the thing that will never be forgotten, no matter what it smells, our body will instinctively remember it after smelling it once. When we smell this smell again, it will evoke memories of this smell at that time.
This is instinct, and Shisheng's instinct is surprisingly developed. He doesn't know whether this belongs to the "Little Apocalypse". Shisheng looked at the footprints and said, "Look, these five people should be surrounding Senior Brother Tunan in the shape of a plum blossom. This person kicked here, and Senior Brother Tunan should have turned around and punched him."
After saying that, Shisheng stepped on his footprints and began to express his speculation. After Liu Bolun heard Shisheng's explanation, the scene of the dangerous battle by the lake that day could be fully seen in his head.
Shisheng said while stepping on his footprints. Slowly, he came to the lake and stepped on the water. The water was stagnant water, and the footprints were still left on the mud in the water. Shisheng said, "Senior Brother Tunan should have killed someone here, and that person should have fallen there, and then, damn, why is it gone?"
When Shisheng said this, he hurriedly squatted down and inserted his head into the water to watch. Sure enough, the footprints ended here, and there were only eight footprints that went back, which was from four people. This shows that those people did not capture Senior Brother Tunan. Thinking of this, Shisheng suddenly had an idea in his heart: "Is it because Senior Brother Tunan ran away from the water?"
But this is not his personality? You should know that the brothers and brothers were killed. With his personality, even if they die, they will fight with those guys to the end. How could they run away for no reason?
Could it be that there are really water monsters in this small lake? Did Senior Brother Tunan be captured by water monsters?
Just as Shisheng was standing in the water and pondering, he suddenly wrinkled his nose again, then quickly pulled out the window and turned his head and shouted, "Who is there, come out!!!"
