Chapter 4: Legend of the Dragon King (Uncle Li is crazy)
??? It was night, and the breeze was blowing, and we stumbled all the way toward our home. Although Grandpa Huang was over 80 years old, he was as strong as a man in his forties or fifties. When he ran, he didn't feel any fatigue at all!
When we arrived at the departure from home, there were already people around and everyone was talking about it. The long-mouthed women even brought out the Dragon King's set and said it was as follows.
Grandpa Huang hurriedly squeezed out the crowd and broke into the door of Left Home. The body of the boy left home was still lying quietly. The thin-skinned coffin was safe and sound, but the blood on the ground was cleaned up, and the bluefish on the ground disappeared.
Grandpa Huang's brows sank and pulled the man in the yard, "Where did the person go?"
The man was startled by Grandpa Huang's eyes, his body shivered, and he stammered, "Ah, Duke..."
"Where did I say go?"
"Grandpa Huang shouted.
"After Li Song came back, he mentioned Qingyu and said he wanted to fight the Dragon King to find an explanation!"
"Nonsense"
Grandpa Huang cursed when he heard this, pushed the crowd away and ran out. I followed him closely. We ran back and forth. When we arrived at the river bank, Grandpa Huang suddenly stepped on it, "Boy, it's not your business. You are waiting for me on the boat. If you haven't come back for three hours, just bring me some incense."
"What are you saying? I haven't seen anything weird before? Go with one more person, and be more powerful."
I said dissatisfiedly, "He saved me, how could I let him die, just an old man?" Uncle Li was afraid that he had rowed to the Dragon King Temple, but when we came back just now, we didn't see him, which was a bit strange.
"I'm not kidding, that place is evil!"
Grandpa Huang persuaded again, but I had already made up my mind to go, so I didn't listen to him. I jumped onto the big ship and untied the rope of the big ship. "I have cut a few rice dumplings, but I'm afraid that a single green fish will not work. Come up and take me to see the true face of this old dragon king."
"You kid"
Grandpa Huang sighed helplessly and jumped onto the boat quickly. As soon as the bamboo pole in my hand was supported, the boat slowly moved and drove straight towards the Dragon King Temple.
The dark river surface could not see clearly. Grandpa Huang was holding an oil lamp in front of him. The oil lamp was not as good as a military flashlight, and could only shine about two or three meters apart.
After we passed the river beside, a light suddenly appeared on the water surface in front of us, which was also an oil lamp, but it was swaying in the space ahead and it looked like it was about to be extinguished at any time.
"Nine, the yin energy in the air is starting to grow. Be careful, this place is too evil."
Xiao Shi reminded on his shoulder, I nodded, Grandpa Huang also saw the oil lamp and couldn't help but shout, "Boy who is leaving home, come back quickly!"
The sound passed through the wet air, and I didn't know if the other side heard it. In short, no one replied, which made Grandpa Huang even more anxious.
"Try harder, don't let him go ashore"
Hearing this, the speed of the pole in my hand could not help but speed up. The boat drove towards the direction of the oil lamp. Fog began to rise in front of me, and it was white. The oil lamp was like a lighthouse in the dark night.
We approached it quickly, and he seemed to be paddling slowly, tilting and twisting, feeling like he was drifting with the wind.
My eyes were already covered by mist, and the mist rushed onto the boat. If Grandpa Huang hadn't held the oil lamp in his hand, I wouldn't have seen him.
"Boy, don't move around, just scratch in the direction of the oil lamp."
Grandpa Huang shouted hurriedly, he had encountered heavy fog and knew what to do. I responded to his words, and his subordinates accelerated again. We were getting closer and closer to the oil lamp. I went down hard, and the boat couldn't help but rush forward suddenly and level with the oil lamp. I immediately turned my eyes and saw that the oil lamp was hanging on a dilapidated boat. There was nothing on the boat, but there was only an oil lamp hanging on the middle pole.
When the fog came, it felt like the boat was rowing in the clouds. Grandpa Huang just took a look and was immediately frightened and shouted loudly.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Although I didn't know what happened, I still tried my best to retreat. Under my support, the boat slowly retreated. My eyes were staring at the oil lamp on the boat. The boat was once again immersed in the fog, but when I just entered, I saw a red figure standing on the boat, wearing a hat on his head and gently rowing the boat with both hands.
"Damn it, why did you meet the ghost ship?"
Xiao Shi cursed angrily, Grandpa Huang ran to me with an oil lamp, then shone it behind, frowned.
"The Dragon Prince is angry, let's quit"
When he said this, his hands and feet were trembling. The fear in his heart had reached a certain level. The fog was too big. I had to row the boat as Grandpa Huang said. We walked through the thick fog. We were expected to go out of the river and then go back to the town, but when the boat emerged from the fog, Grandpa Huang and I saw the broken eaves and walls together, their faces turned green.
"Why did you come to this place?"
I said in a deep voice, not far from us is the Dragon King Temple, and there are stone stairs up the river. Although weeds are overgrown, they cannot cover up the traces of human activities.
There were still burnt candles under the overturned wall. I don’t know when it was lit. The wax body was a little black. I looked at Grandpa Huang. His face was very bad, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he took out the sickle from his waist and glanced at the foggy river surface behind him. "We are on the boat, and the fog will disappear sooner and leave."
He spoke solemnly, and I didn't dare to relax. I took out the long sword from the cabin to defend us. We stood quietly on the deck, without saying anything, staring straight at the dilapidated Dragon King Temple.
About five or six minutes later, the sound of paddling suddenly came from the river surface. Grandpa Huang and I immediately looked at the source of the sound, and saw a crescent boat slowly coming out of the fog, with an oil lamp hanging in front of it.
I said intimately that it was the ghost ship just now, but after the ship came out, Grandpa Huang and I were both startled at the same time. Uncle Li was rowing the boat with a dull face, and the bluefish he took away was placed under the oil lamp. Strangely, the bluefish was not dead yet. The opening of the mouth was still opening and closing, and fresh flesh was stuffed into its sharp teeth. I looked up at Uncle Li, and saw a piece of flesh fell off his arm, and the blood had solidified into pieces on it, but he didn't seem to feel pain.
The boat was rowing slowly, and under the push of the slurry, it moved forward little by little, and its destination was the Dragon King Temple.
"Leave………"
I originally wanted to shout, but Grandpa Huang suddenly covered my mouth and whispered in his ear, "I'm attracted by the soul, don't talk nonsense!"
He stared at Uncle Li with his turbid eyes, his old hands trembled, covering my mouth tightly. We just watched Uncle Li rowing across the Dragon King Temple, then parked the boat on the shore and reached out. His eyes did not move down, but his hands accurately grabbed the green fish. Uncle Li picked up the green fish, held the oil lamp in one hand, jumped off the boat step by step, and walked forward step by step.
"Stay here and don't move"
Huang Agong said, let go of me, his body pressed against the hull, and the next second he saw his body gently paddled into the water and disappeared.
"Nine, look at his shadow"
Xiao Shi pointed at Uncle Li and said, "I looked around and saw Uncle Li walking forward with the oil lamp, but there was no shadow behind him. According to the height of the oil lamp, there should be no shadow."
"Where has the soul gone?"
I frowned repeatedly. Uncle Li has lost one soul now, so the light of the oil lamp cannot illuminate his shadow. Generally, as long as the three souls are insufficient, the light cannot illuminate his shadow.
"Let's follow and take a look"
Xiao Shi suggested, I have this intention, Grandpa Huang has already reached the shore, he sneaked up ashore and followed Uncle Li to the abandoned area of Dragon King Temple.
I carried the boat over, then tied the boat, and followed with my backpack. The Dragon King Temple is not small, and it was very hidden because of the weeds. I followed them tightly, with Uncle Li picking up the fish in front, Grandpa Huang behind, and I was on the side.
Uncle Li went straight into the main hall of the Dragon King Temple. Although it was washed away by the flood, the Dragon King statue of the Dragon King Temple still stood in the Dragon King Temple. The statue was three meters high and two meters wide. There was gold on the body. However, since no one took care of it, it had oxidized and turned black. A large part of it was oxidized and turned black. In front of the statue was a stone table. Uncle Li took the fish over and placed the oil lamp on the side of the table, and then placed the green fish in the center of the statue.
He was muttering, and couldn't hear what he said. Grandpa Huang was right in front of me, he crawled behind the grass and stared at Uncle Li.
After reading for more than ten minutes, Uncle Li suddenly took out a hatchet and slashed his arm with a fierce knife.
A piece of flesh and blood jumped out, and it was even connected to the skin. Uncle Li put the hatchet on the desk without changing his face. He ignored the blood on his arm and stretched out his other hand to hold the flesh that had not fallen, and pulled it up hard, which made my heart numb.
After he pulled off the flesh and blood, he placed the whole piece of flesh in front of the green fish, stretched out his bloody hand to stroke the green fish, and then said, "Eat it, eat it quickly, you will grow up after eating!"
Listening to his inexplicable voice, I couldn't help but feel a chill on the back, and the bluefish seemed to understand his words. She pulled it on the desk a few times, and opened her mouth to bite Uncle Li's flesh and blood.
Seeing the green fish eating his flesh and blood, Uncle Li looked satisfied and laughed as he looked.
The laughter was cool and felt like a ghost cry. The bluefish ate a piece, and the flesh as big as a palm quickly got a stomachache. He immediately blinked his mouth and looked at Uncle Li, his eyes as if he was begging for food.
When Uncle Li saw him, he wanted to pick up the hatchet and attack his arm again. Grandpa Huang finally couldn't help but jumped out of his body and grabbed Uncle Li, "You kid are crazy, don't want to die?"
He roared angrily, but Uncle Li slowly turned his head, opened his mouth and smiled coldly at Grandpa Huang. His purple face was covered with blood, and his eyes' pupils were white.
"Ghost Body"
Xiao Shida said in surprise, I rushed out decisively when I saw this, grabbed Uncle Li's hand, and put a piece of talisman on his body, but it did not work. Uncle Li laughed under me, and kept spitting white foam in his mouth.
"God beast, come out!"
I shouted loudly, but I felt a chill behind my back, which scared me so much that I rushed forward. Grandpa Huang's sickle almost wiped my scalp past. He rolled his eyes and smiled at me. I frowned. I was so angry that I came out. What was hidden in the Dragon King Temple?
Before I could think too much, I took out the talisman paper and pounced on it. The talisman paper was also ineffective against Grandpa Huang. He roared and waved the sickle at me desperately. I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and hit his neck hard. Grandpa Huang screamed and softened. Uncle Li did not attack me, but sat on the side and smiled, his laughter was very cunning.
I walked up and gave him a hard time, but didn't knock him unconscious. I had no choice but to pull the cloth strip with my clothes and tied him up, carrying the other one on my shoulders.
I was planning to leave the Dragon King Temple, but suddenly a huge wind came from behind the material, which made my back feel cold.
"I don't care what the hell you are, it's better not to mess with me."
I roared behind me, and Xiao Shi also let out a strange howl, as a warning, and the wind stopped immediately. My heart was trembling wildly, and I hurriedly ran out with the two of them on my back.
Throwing it into the boat, I untied the rope in panic and drove away from the Dragon King Temple. Before leaving, I couldn't help but glance at the Dragon King Temple again. I saw a figure standing where I stopped the boat just now. He frowned and looked at me, stretched out his hand to call, but I couldn't turn around. After cursing secretly, I could only watch him dragged into the Dragon King Temple in a black air.
We left the river berth in the morning, and I leaned on the boat with my tired face. Xiao Shi glanced at Uncle Li and shook his head, "I'm gone, I'm crazy."
I also know the situation, but I can't do anything except shake my head and sigh, because the figure that last night was Uncle Li's soul, and the black air that dragged away was too strong, not something I could afford now.
