On the dark lake, a black arm with a rotten smell stretched out and grasped Li Huaiyun's calf tightly.
There were many pale and terrifying faces floating in the lake, with green eyes shining, and their slender black hair floating in the lake like water plants.
Lake of the Dead! Li Huaiyun felt something bad in his heart and hurriedly exerted his strength to escape from the lake, but those arms were quite strong and kept dragging him towards the lake. The further down he went, the more arms wrapped around his body. .
He activated his true energy and released the maximum strength, trying to break free from the lake, but those arms seemed to have special abilities, making it impossible to escape at all.
Golden fire emitted from his body and illuminated the nearby lake, making the charred and terrifying faces in the lake appear clearer.
Li Huaiyun is still struggling desperately. Once he is dragged into the lake, it will be really over! Careless! Standing on the lake, the man in black robe should have guessed that this was a trap!
Just when he felt desperate, a strange picture suddenly appeared in his mind. In the misty sky, a gray stone statue slowly emerged from the fog.
And the appearance of the stone statue was exactly the Buddhist image that appeared in my dream when I was in a coma.
The Buddha statue with legs crossed has many faces on its neck and many pairs of arms behind it. On the front is a Vajra Dharma image with an angry frown and grinning teeth.
Behind the Buddha statue is a big wheel of life, with three empty spaces above it, all of which are burning with golden flames.
Suddenly, the Buddha statue opened its eyes, and its entire body suddenly changed from a gray and simple appearance to a golden one.
Li Huaiyun felt that he was surrounded by the Dharma, and he escaped from the water easily. Within a moment, his body returned directly to the balcony.
A biting chill spread all over his body, especially since there were a large number of cold ghosts in the lake, which made him feel even colder.
He immediately activated the zhenqi in his body to disperse the water vapor on his body and under his feet. As the extremely cold water evaporated from his body, his body gradually returned to its temperature.
Li Huaiyun took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, not long after he entered the ultimate realm, the man in black robe had a new method at this moment, and this method was extremely weird and difficult to guard against.
If there hadn't been that Buddhist image just now, I might have explained it here today.
It seems that I need to work harder on my daily practice. Otherwise, if I encounter that man in black robe again, I don’t know if I can handle it.
Judging from the situation just now, even without any practice, the power of the Dharma is quite powerful. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to practice the power of the Dharma. I have to go to that cloud as the old gentleman said. Just go to the temple.
If he could practice, he might have reached a higher level of martial arts.
He looked around, clapped his hands gently, and looked helpless. The woman had already left with A Tian. This time, he was in trouble. Not only was he tricked, but he almost lost his life.
Li Huaiyun was a little annoyed. He should have made more preparations before, so that he would not be so passive.
At this moment, he felt more and more sad. A Tian's appearance meant that he had been seriously brainwashed by that woman, and it was impossible for him to look back.
This guy will lick until the end and there will be nothing left! I should have taken action earlier, without any hesitation. Now it's fine, our relationship is completely over.
He jumped on the roof and was about to leave the house. Then he turned his head and looked at the lake, and a strange thought came to his mind.
The few times I met this Wei Shunkai, they were basically not far from the water, and there were these weird things in the water, which seemed to be supported by this guy!
Like the giant mouth that appeared in the water prison before, the monster with long black hair that appeared in the house of the Minister of Justice, and the ghosts that appeared in the lake in this house.
Could this guy be a water person? Wherever there is water, those things will appear?
Li Huaiyun looked solemn and thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out the meaning. After thinking for a long time, his head felt heavy, and he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
He could only give up thinking, left the house first, and followed A Tian's leaving breath.
At this time, on a lake in Kyoto, a man in black robes stood on the water. Black air was constantly emanating from the dark robes. This was the aura only carried by dead corpses.
The black energy kept hovering in the air, and then slowly entered the ugly and weird body on the side.
In the charred body, there was a childish face, sleeping with eyes closed, while snoring slightly.
There was a faint smile on that face, as if he was experiencing a good dream.
After a while, when the black energy was completely absorbed, the face gently opened its eyes, and its clear and bright eyes kept turning and looking around.
"Dad! Dad! I'm hungry again!" The voice was like a silver bell, fresh and lovely.
"Be good!" The man in black robe gently stroked the forehead with his hand, "It's over. You will have to be taken under water for a while."
Upon hearing this, the originally cute face immediately darkened, and then red tears left the corners of his eyes, "I don't want it! I don't want it!"
The face cried loudly, "It's cold under the water, I don't want to stay there! I'm hungry! I'm hungry!"
The man in black robe said solemnly, "My child, you can't stay up there too long, it could easily cause trouble. Be good! Listen to daddy!"
"No! No! It took a lot of effort to get out, but I don't want to go down!" The immature face had a frown on its face, and the whole charred body was shaking on the water, causing ripples.
When the man in black robe saw this, he couldn't bear it. This mass of flesh sewn with corpse parts could only be released when the yin energy was at its strongest and during the full moon of each month. Otherwise, according to the At normal times, a rancid smell will immediately occur, and the entire meat mass will become dehydrated, causing it to become shriveled.
In that arson case, only the youngest daughter survived, but except for her entire face, other parts of her body were severely burned by the fire.
He could only use this evil Taoist Yin technique to keep his daughter alive.
An ordinary human body could no longer transplant her head and face, so the body could only be used as a container sewn from random corpse parts.
What was once a young girl turned into this disgusting, disgusting lump of flesh. Although she kept that face, her body made people feel sick and want to vomit when they saw her.
"I don't want to be in the water anymore!" The face in the ball of flesh opened its mouth and cried loudly.
"Don't cry!" The man in black robe suppressed the grief in his heart and kept comforting him, "If you wait a little longer, daddy promises that you can find the body of Zuyin's birthday as your new body."
"I don't want it! I don't want it! I don't want to stay in the water! It's dark there! I can't see anything. I just want to be by my dad's side."
The man in black robe became more and more bitter and comforted again, "Don't be willful. If you keep doing this, dad will never come again!"
As soon as that face heard these words, there were tears in his eyes immediately, and he cried even louder, "Dad! Dad! You don't want me anymore! You don't want me anymore!"
The cry was gloomy and long, floating on the dark lake. Anyone who heard the sound would feel a chill down their spine and feel a sense of fear.
The man in black robe tried to persuade her for a long time, but his daughter kept making noisy noises, which made him lose his temper. In the end, he could only faint himself and then sank her into the lake.
His eyes were sharp, "As long as this big week is destroyed, dad will definitely find the most suitable body for you. When the time comes, you will definitely have a beautiful body."
The man in black robe looked at the mass of flesh sinking into the water. He held the position of his heart tightly. The severe pain in his heart made him feel weak again.
I'm afraid I won't live much longer now! Before that, you must find someone who was born on the yin day in the lunar calendar.
Fang Yuan left the house with A Tian, and they hid in a hidden street in Kyoto, where there was an ordinary house.
This is the place where Fang Yuan usually has private meetings with other men. However, A Tian doesn't know what this place is about.
"Is there no one living in this place?"
"No one, my dad sometimes puts things in this yard."
A Tian was very grateful to Fang Yuan for saving him. He felt that he had done his best and had nothing to blame. He said with some embarrassment, "Madam! Are you...are you okay?"
Fang Yuan put A Tian on one of the stools, and was a little resistant to such a title, "It seems that I didn't agree to marry you, and you changed your mind now. It's quite embarrassing. Besides, your wedding gift has not been paid yet." Give!"
She spoke in a very cold manner, which was different from the woman who hid behind him before and demanded a head-on confrontation with Li Huaiyun.
"Of course I will. I have almost collected enough money for the bride price?"
"Have you collected enough?" Fang Yuan didn't believe it. The betrothal gifts she proposed were difficult to collect based on his ability, so she could keep him hanging.
Now he told her that he didn't have enough money to collect the bride price, which surprised her. Even if he went to the bank to borrow it, he would only borrow five or six hundred taels at most. He didn't have the remaining silver taels that were twenty or thirty years old, no. It might be possible to get it together.
"how did you do that?"
A Tian just wanted to speak, but when he thought that it was Li Huaiyun who borrowed the money, and they had some issues with Li Huaiyun now, he couldn't bring it up.
"What's wrong? I don't want to say it, are you afraid of something?"
A Tian immediately shook his head, "No! No!"
"Then tell me quickly, where did you get these silver coins? I don't want the gift money to come from unknown sources."
A Tian hurriedly explained, "It's not that the origin is unknown. This money is quite clean. I borrowed it from a friend."
Fang Yuan looked at him questioningly, feeling that there must be something fishy about this matter. She asked, "What's the name of that friend?"
A Tian hesitated for a long time and couldn't say his name.
At this time, Fang Yuan remembered that Li Huaiyun once said that the house was his own, and then she suddenly realized that no wonder this guy couldn't say anything.
"Humph, I didn't expect you to go and borrow money from that guy,"
"Fang Yuan, I borrowed it from him a few days ago. It has nothing to do with us now."
"It doesn't matter, let's just say, isn't that his money now? You used the silver you borrowed from him to give me as a betrothal gift. This is recognition of his behavior!"
A Tian immediately denied, "No! No! I don't agree with his behavior."
"If you insist on using this silver as a bride price, then why don't you let me marry him directly!" Fang Yuan turned around and burst into tears, crying so miserably and sadly.
This makes A Tian feel quite embarrassed.
