Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding

  Chapter 98 Key clues

   Misty mist, lush forest, a simple thatched cottage, a two-person tall stone statue of a spirit fox, in this silent night, it looks like a tomb.

  Bai Lu stood there, her eyes full of fear and astonishment.

  She doesn't like it here, but she doesn't know why she came back here.

   "Can you hear me? Can you really hear me?"

   "Don't trust him, don't trust him!"

   "Come and save me."

   "Come and save me."

  A woman's miserable cry for help kept ringing out, which made people shudder.

  The next moment, Bai Lu's body trembled, as if she had been shocked by electricity.

  Due to her sight, on the face of the spirit fox statue riddled with holes, an eye was drilled out of one of the holes.

   Human eyes!

  The eyeball of this eye was yellow and bloodshot, and it kept turning, sweeping around one by one until it reached Bai Lu.

  It stared at Bai Lu, with bright blood and tears gushing from its eyes.

   "Help me! Save me!"

  The blood and tears fell on the ground drop by drop, making a ticking sound.

  For a moment, Bai Lu felt a sense of suffocation as if her head was stuck in a quagmire.

   "Can't you all see, can't you hear?"

  At this time, Bai Lu remembered that there were other people around.

  She turned her head in a daze, only to find that those fellow disciples, including the vice suzerain Li Yulin, were all kneeling there, offering incense to the weeping spirit fox statue.

   Their expressions were dull, like sculptures, and they didn't look like people anymore.

  A gust of mountain wind blew, and the shadows of the surrounding trees swayed. In Bai Lu's eyes, the ancestral land in this sect was like a tomb where wronged souls were buried, terrifyingly gloomy.

  She fled in fright, and soon plunged into a forest.

  The woods are very dark, and occasionally there are some big birds flapping their wings, which is even more frightening.

   Ahead, a little light finally appeared.

  Bai Lu rushed over without stopping, and then froze there.

   She found herself back again!

  Back to the gloomy ancestral land, what's even more frightening is that all those fellow disciples who had incensed the spirit fox statue all looked at her.

  That look, as if sending her to die.

  Bai Lu was so frightened that she turned around and ran away.

  Darkness, boundless darkness.

  The darkness turned into a coat called fear, covering her whole body.

  Bai Lu only felt in a quagmire-like dream, very uncomfortable, almost unable to breathe, but unable to wake up.

   At this time, a little light appeared in this dark forest again.

  She followed that little light, but her heart was full of fear.

  She was afraid of seeing those fellow disciples again, holding burning incense in the ancestral land, looking at herself like a dead person.

  Bai Lu finally braved up and ran over.

  Because in the woods behind her, there was a sound like a baby crying. She didn't know what it was, but felt great fear.

  In the end, she only heard a crash, and she found herself coming out, standing in front of the inner lake at the Zongmen Mountain Gate.

  Under the night, in the dark green lake water, red, white, black, and variegated carps are churning, blending into a flowing color, just like the most gorgeous ink in the brush of a painter.

  The Yunxue Sect inside the mountain gate was quiet, without any fire, and in Bai Lu's eyes, it looked like a huge group of tombs.

  Looking at these carp, Bai Lu felt uneasy and wanted to leave.

  She is going to find Brother Ji and her sister.

   This Yun Xuezong is really evil!

   As a result, as soon as she took a step, a hand suddenly stretched out from the water and dragged her down.

  The tumbling water submerged her head, and she choked several times.

  There was a greasy feeling around her body, Bai Lu turned her body in a panic, and found that the hand pulling her had disappeared, and all around was that kind of carp.

  These carps are not afraid of people at all. After seeing her, they all rushed over.

  For a while, Bai Lu even felt that the fish's eyes were filled with a cold aura.

  There were these strange fish floating in the water, she struggled to swim back to the shore, but found that she couldn't.

  In the water, she could only watch helplessly as she was pushed into the depths of the green lake by the carps.

   Suddenly, Bai Lu knew where they were taking her.

  Springs, springs in the lake!

   It is said that this inner lake of Yunxuezong is connected to a spring.

  In the dark green lake water, the springs look like the mouths of ghosts, or empty eyes, making people feel cold all over.

  Bai Lu struggled, but it didn't help, and was quickly pushed into the spring.

  After struggling in the water for so long, she didn't feel stuffy, but felt that she was always going down obliquely.

  In this extremely dark spring, the spring water was surging darkly, seemingly powerless, but in fact it was always leading her down.

  At the beginning, the carp was still against her body, but at the back, even the carp was gone.

   There was darkness in her eyes, she touched her neck in a daze, and found that there was an opening, and she couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

  She always feels that she has become a fish and cannot help herself in the water.

  In a blur, a little light appeared in front of it, it was a big fish with dark green light from its body.

   This fish is about half the size of a human, and looks like a carp. It looks very old and makes people feel palpitating.

  Finally, the seemingly irreversible flow of water stopped, and Bai Lu found herself in a corridor.

  This corridor is like a deep house compound, with wooden doors, wooden windows and stone pillars, which sank into the water for some reason.

  The broken window paper was soaked into flocs in the water, and those big glowing fish wandered in the room and corridor.

  Bai Lu stood there nervously, when she suddenly heard the sound of doors and windows shaking behind her.

  She only felt a huge sense of fear, and ran forward without any hesitation.

   In the process of running forward, she glanced at the room beside the corridor out of the corner of her eye, and always felt that there were pairs of sinister eyes hidden in those broken windows.

  Help, huh, huh.

  This corridor is not in a straight line, but has a certain arc.

  Bai Lu was very scared, and kept running, and she always felt that the cut on her neck was getting bigger and bigger.

  At the end of the corridor, there is a wall.

  A blue brick wall with faint green moss growing on it, looking from a distance, it looks like the face of a skin patient, which is very disgusting.

  When she looked back, she found only a few big glowing fish swimming in the corridor, and nothing was chasing after them.

  The panic-stricken sense of fear just now disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

  At this moment, Bai Lu no longer had the courage to go back.

  She looked at the broken yellow talisman paper pasted on the door and window of the corridor, and knew that there might be great danger inside.

  She began tapping on the brick wall to see if she could get past it.

  Anxious state of mind caused her to spit out a series of air bubbles. What frightened Bai Lu was that there were more air bubbles coming out of the opening on her neck than her mouth.

  She has a sense of loss, that is, is she still human?

  But now she can't control so much, because the door and window behind her suddenly moved again, bringing up a string of blisters, as if something was about to come out.

  Bai Lu scanned the wall in a panic, looking for the exit.

  She swept away the moss one by one with her hands, and she really found a red brick mixed with the green brick.

  So she quickly touched the protruding red brick with her hand, only to find that the red brick was easily pulled out.

   Seeing this, Bai Lu quickly went to fetch the brick next to it, and found that after the red brick was gone, the blue brick next to it was quite loose, so it was not difficult to remove it.

   Running here to move bricks out of nowhere, Bai Lu only felt that it was too difficult for her.

   As a result, at this moment, she suddenly stopped, because at this moment, she saw something through the gap in the wall.

  A person was standing there with his back to her.

  The man was dressed in a white robe with an ink-colored lotus pattern on it, which looked like a landscape painting with splashed ink.

   Such a back view looks very elegant, but in Bai Lu's eyes, it is full of ghostly spirit.

  Just a back view made her tremble all over.

  She has an intuition that this person is a ghost.

   Yes, what could be behind this wall in the water?

   In a daze, the man turned around and walked aside.

  In the dim waters, she only felt that the man's cheeks were so thin that she couldn't see clearly.

   Immediately afterwards, with the sound of rattling iron chains, the "white-clothed devil" dragged out a **** man from a group of water plants next to him.

  At this moment, Bai Lu's whole body was stiff and it was difficult to breathe.

  Because she saw the face of the man who was dragged out.

  Brother Ji Que?

No! No!

  The thickest support in her heart collapsed in an instant, Bai Lu felt as if she had been frozen, her whole body was bitingly cold.

  The evil ghost in white seemed to be aware of her existence, turned his head, and a horrified smile appeared on the blurred and distorted face in the water.

  Bai Lu stepped back in fright, and realized that she had bumped into something.

   tick tock

  Bright red liquid hit her through the water, she raised her head in a daze, and found that it was a huge, rotten spirit fox that exposed its bones, dripping blood continuously.

  As soon as the spirit fox lowered its head, countless blood-red eyes opened up the skin of its cheeks, densely packed.

"help me!"

"help me!"

"help me!"

  The scariest thing is not the **** eyes on the fox's face and the miserable cries for help, but the face of a sister on the face of this huge fox

   At the moment of almost suffocation, Bai Lu suddenly opened her eyes and gasped violently.

  She found herself lying in the room, and the bamboo outside the window was swaying in the wind.

  But she didn't wake up from the nightmare easily.

  She clutched her chest, covered in cold sweat, terrified.

  She felt that thing found her.

  Because the dream just now was so real, she could even clearly recall every detail in it.

   Immediately, she thought of Ji Que who was dragged away by the white-clothed ghost in the dream just now, and stood up.

   No, you have to tell Brother Ji Que.

  At least, he can't have an accident.

   Tonight, Ji Que was supposed to be on duty, but he had to reluctantly skip work to go to night raids, bah, to meet the female leader Ning Hongyu.

   As a result, he was just about to set off when he saw Bai Lu standing there cautiously.

  In the night, Xiao Nizi's hair was disheveled and her eyes were terrified, as if she had seen a ghost.

   "Second Miss, why are you here?"

   "Brother-in-law."

  Hearing this name, Ji Que knew that the other party's condition must be bad.

  Ji Que hurriedly asked the other party to come over.

  When the porter is on duty, there is no special room for resting. There is only a table and chairs in the corridor at the entrance for resting.

  Ji Que quickly poured a cup of tea for the other party, and asked, "Second Miss, what happened?"

  Until she saw clearly the spring-like face under Ji Que's lamp, Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Ji, if I say that the spirit fox statue in the ancestral land can talk, would you believe it?"

  Ji Que regained his energy all of a sudden, and said, "I believe it. What did it tell you?"

   Ji Que didn't treat her as a lunatic, Bai Lu was surprised, but soon figured it out.

  Brother Ji Que wants to comfort himself, maybe she will treat her like this if she is really crazy?

  She didn't pause, and told Ji Que all the dreams she had encountered and had tonight.

  It felt absurd that that thing found her, but she still wanted to say it.

  Because she felt that if she didn't speak out, she would go crazy and collapse.

  Besides, although this thing can't tell the truth from the fake, it can at least give Brother Ji Que a wake-up call.

  In that dream just now, brother Ji Que got tricked

  Thinking of that scene, Bai Lu shuddered.

  Under the dim lamp, Bai Lu narrated her absurd auditory hallucinations and bizarre and terrifying dreams.

  Ji Que was so engrossed in listening that he almost took out his small notebook and wrote it down.

   These things about Bai Lu are obviously closely related to what he wants to investigate.

  Her dream is definitely not just a dream at night.

  In many ghost stories since ancient times, there has been a saying of "revealing dreams".

  According to Bai Lu's description, that dream was extremely real, full of countless details, as if it was real.

   Does this mean that there is really such a corridor under the spring at the bottom of the lake?

   Did that spirit fox want to ask for help through a dream, so that Bai Lu could find someone to save it?

  But what are those horrifying changes behind?

   Obviously, this dream was weird and complicated.

  Ji Que feels that if there is such a place in the spring at the bottom of the lake, it is very likely to be close to the truth.

  Ji Que decided to go find Ning Hongyu.

  He comforted Bai Lu for a while, and arranged for her to rest in Dan's room.

   These days as a concierge, he is quite familiar with the female alchemy disciple inside.

  Bai Lu looked at the raging fire and the friendly smiles of the female disciples who stayed up all night practicing alchemy, and gradually relaxed.

  As long as there are crowds, it seems that you will not be so afraid.

  Bai Lu was a little surprised for a moment, and found that Ji Gege was more feminine than she had imagined.

  Of course, what surprised her even more was the other party's temperament that made her feel at ease.

  She didn't know why he, a concierge, had such a temperament. In short, the flustered Bai Lu quickly calmed down.

  Afterwards, Ji Que went to Xue Qingning's residence that he had heard about during the day.

  Unfortunately, no one was seen.

  As a small concierge, he was directly stopped outside the door at first, and later, he took the risk of being exposed and attacked at night, only to find that Xue Qingning, also known as Ning Hongyu, was really not there.

  Where did people go this late at night?

  Ji Que felt that it was necessary to confirm the reality of Bai Lu's dream.

  Perhaps the thread he was looking for to string those "beads" of truth was there.

  So, in almost the same night, Ji Que stood in front of the green lake again.
