Xue Ying and Jing Ling, who were sitting next to Yu Yan, were instantly pushed out of their seats by an inexplicable force. The whole process was silent and breathless.
Jing Ling called out: "Senior sister?"
Rubbing her eyes, she saw an empty spot next to her, but when she reached out to touch it, she encountered an invisible barrier.
While he was wondering, he was suddenly squeezed away by half of his body by the strange force of the void.
Jing Ling turned to look at the others and was stunned for a moment. At this moment, a black cloud happened to block most of the sun, and the sky dimmed suddenly - her body was pushed by the void for the third time.
This surprise was really no small matter. She suddenly jumped up from her seat and screamed in horror:
"My mother! There is a ghost!"
She stood up and wanted to pounce on Mu Haotian and Xue Ying, but that "ghost thing" was blocking the middle. She couldn't pass, so she had to retreat until she reached the stern of the ship, leaning against the bulwark with her back and shouting:
"Don't come here, don't come here!"
Mu Haotian and Xue Ying were also frightened at first, but they soon realized that it was Yu Yan who accidentally activated the "Tears of the Underworld Mother" power and successfully concealed themselves. Then they suddenly became playful and ran away. Teasing Jing Ling.
Snow Eagle cried:
"Yan'er, come out quickly, don't scare little junior sister."
After shouting several times, Yan'er did not come out. Instead, she turned around and "bumped" her too.
Xue Ying leaned against Mu Haotian and said angrily:
"Yan'er, Yan'er, really don't make trouble! Say something quickly."
Mu Haotian reminded:
"Ying'er, we can't hear her talking inside."
Xueying suddenly realized:
"Yes! What should I do?"
Not only were the words inaudible, but other sounds were also silenced.
The disappeared Swift ran around the ship, knocking over a lot of debris along the way, but she didn't make the slightest sound. Only after she left did others find traces of the mess in the original place.
Coupled with the dim sky at the moment, it really seemed like there was a ghost floating around on the ship.
Jing Ling seemed to be very afraid of things like "ghosts". Although she understood what happened just now, she still ran between Xue Ying and Mu Haotian and sat down firmly before she had the courage to take a look.
Several people finally saw the mystery of "Tears of the Underworld Mother", their eyes exchanged, and they secretly clicked their tongues.
After a while, Mu Haotian noticed that Yuyan had stopped making noises and sat quietly next to him, then asked Tashan:
"Brother Tashan, how long does this effect last? And how can it be lifted?"
Tashan smiled and looked at where Yu Yan was sitting, as if he could see through her invisibility, and said:
"Each time this thing is activated, it can last for about two hours. During this period, if it is not destroyed by too strong a force, a drop of the Underworld Mother's Tears can be used ten times. As for how to remove it..."
He turned his back and said:
"There is no need to lift it now."
Xueying said:
"But we have to wait two hours..."
Mu Haotian pulled her and whispered:
"Brother Tashan means that someone will do harm to us soon."
Xue Ying's heart trembled and she looked towards Tashan.
Tashan's eyes wandered uncertainly. He nodded first, then shook his head, and said with a strange expression:
"This time, I'm afraid it's not a human being."
It was mid-afternoon, the sky was already as dark as evening, there was no wind or waves on the river, and the atmosphere became unusually solemn.
The young man on the observation deck had been standing still ever since he suddenly stood up. From Mu Haotian's perspective, he seemed to be standing above dark clouds.
"This time, I'm afraid it's not a human being."
After hearing Tashan's words, Mu Haotian took a long breath and said slowly:
"He is indeed not a human being."
There was a clear understanding in my heart: "No wonder Brother Tashan wanted to give us the 'Tears of the Underworld Mother'. It turned out that he had already seen that the person had evil intentions, so he took precautions. We only met by chance today, but he has sincerely taken care of us as close friends. This The kindness is truly profound!"
"Did you see it too?"
Seeing Mu Haotian's expression as expected, Tashan looked at him in surprise, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Mu Haotian nodded solemnly:
"Since that evil spirit dares to board the ship, he must be confident."
Tashanzhuang Rong said:
"That's right! Qiankun Langlang actually dares to make trouble, how brave he is! But... how did Brother Mu find out?"
Mu Haotian was stunned, thinking, didn't we all witness that man swallowing the dragon soul just now? I didn’t know what kind of medicine Tashan’s brother was selling in his gourd, so I stood up and looked up at the dark sky.
After a while, he cleared his throat and pretended to be profound:
"The sky changes suddenly, dark clouds cover the sky, the rain stops falling, and the thunder does not strike. This is a sign that Yin Qi is gathering and evil spirits are raging."
Mu Haotian has learned the true story of Mu Ding, and has traveled around the world with his master. He has been immersed in it, and he is very good at bluffing. Especially when it comes to pretending to be a trick, it is difficult for him to show any flaws.
At this moment, he became naughty and improvised, revealing the appearance of a fairy from outside the mountains.
Even Tashan, who was well-informed, believed it to be true for a moment. He felt that he had underestimated Brother Mu and praised:
"Brother Mu really has a keen eye, and he hides his secrets. I know very little about the evil ways of the demon sect. I wonder if you have any countermeasures?"
Mu Haotian muttered in his heart:
"Where do I have any countermeasures? I'm afraid if I tell you a few more words, I won't have any 'countermeasures'!"
At the moment, I just ignored him, frowning and thinking about the fictitious "countermeasures", and I was too embarrassed to answer the question again.
The two people talked to each other like they were playing riddles. I felt sorry for Xue Ying. She sat on the edge and listened attentively, but she felt like she was lost in the fog. In the gloomy sky, listening to them talking about evil spirits, strange changes, and not being human, I felt extremely scared.
At that time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and thick ink clouds gathered into groups, completely blocking the sunlight. The sun was struggling to support itself in the clouds, creating a black disk with a halo.
Everyone was silent for a while in the heavy and strange atmosphere. Mu Haotian was suddenly squeezed and looked into the void beside him, with a smile on his face.
Knowing that Yu Yan was afraid of thunder, seeing the black clouds stacking like waves, she was afraid that thunder would explode at any time. Even though she was protected by the "Tears of the Underworld Mother", she couldn't help but lean towards him.
So he reached out and patted the invisible barrier:
"Don't be afraid, Yan'er. Just stay inside and wait and see what happens."
Feeling the force transmitted back from the void, he turned his head and said to Xue Ying and Jing Ling:
"You two are always prepared. If you see the situation is not right, activate the 'Tears of the Underworld Mother' according to the method taught by Brother Tashan, and then find a place to hide it. Junior Sister Ling'er, don't be pushy."
The two women agreed one after another.
At that time, I saw clouds gathering in the sky, almost as heavy as ink, and it was almost night on the boat.
The young man suddenly jumped down from the observation deck, kicked the mast, and swept towards the stern of the ship.
Mu Haotian's heart suddenly tightened, and he turned sideways to protect the junior sisters. When he focused his eyes, the young man was already three steps away.
