It’s surprising when you look at it from a distance, and it’s shocking when you look up close.
This shock does not come from the height of the mountains or the thickness of the ground, but from the vastness and vastness of the water.
The water in the Ghost Sea is windless and waveless, as flat as a mirror. Looking from a distance, the entire Ghost Sea is like a piece of lead jade dropped from the sky, inlaid on the black earth. The fog lingers on the entire lake, neither thick nor light, neither gathering nor dissipating.
, vaguely glowing with glow, reflecting the flowing colors.
Bai Yunsheng followed the method taught to him by the beast trafficker and used his will to repatriate the triangular rhinoceros. This well-trained mount beast would return to Wuliu City on its own.
"This water is so weird."
Linglong stared at the calm water with a puzzled look on her face. She was not afraid of the shocking scenery, but instead aroused her curiosity.
The light in Bai Yunsheng's eyes was relatively calm: "The ghost sea is called the ghost sea. It is not surprising that it is different from ordinary water."
He regained his composure as quickly as possible and looked at the water in the distance, seemingly looking for something.
Linglong asked curiously: "Brother Bai, how can we get there? There isn't even a boat here."
Bai Yunsheng's mouth smiled slightly under the mask: "Since it is a sea of ghosts, naturally only ghosts can cross it."
"ghost?"
As soon as Linglong heard this word, her whole body became cold. This little girl had suffered enough from ghosts.
Bai Yunsheng calmly took out a stick of incense from his arms, leaned over and put it under his feet.
Linglong asked innocently: "Brother Bai, do you want to burn incense and pray to Buddha to ask Bodhisattva for help?"
"This is a way to attract souls. Ordinary fire cannot be ignited."
After Bai Yunsheng finished speaking, a trace of karma condensed on his fingertips and poured into the Soul-Calling Yin, and then wisps of black smoke emerged from the Yin, circled around Bai Yunsheng for a few times, and then slowly rose into the air, blending with the lake mist.
Then, Bai Yunsheng looked at the lake in the distance again, as if waiting for something.
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, a black-awned boat suddenly appeared on the wide and flat lake, and the shadow of the boat was getting closer and closer.
Xiao Linglong pointed at the boat excitedly and shouted: "Brother Bai, the boat is really coming!"
The awning boat seemed to be gliding on the ice without causing any ripples in the lake. There was a punter standing at the stern of the boat, wearing a bamboo hat and sackcloth, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Get on board."
The boatman's voice was low and cold, like the snow on the thousand-year-old iceberg of Kanchenbuzhou.
"It's time to work."
Bai Yunsheng nodded slightly and pulled Linglong onto the awning boat. The boatman turned around and sailed towards the sea of ghosts.
The smooth boat was quiet and dull, and the boatman was holding the boat without saying a word. Bai Yunsheng stood alone on the bow of the boat, looking and thinking, while Xiao Linglong kept staring at the boatman in boredom.
The boatman had a thick beard exposed under his worn-out gray hat, but his eyes and nose could not be seen clearly. The linen clothes he wore were many years old and riddled with holes, and most of the hemp threads had fallen apart.
I don't know how long the boat drifted.
In this vast sea of ghosts with the same color as water and sky, people on the boat will quickly lose time and direction.
Bai Yunsheng took out the Qingyun wine bottle he brought from Yidi Mountain, sat on the bow of the boat and drank with his head raised. The burning heat instantly calmed the loneliness on the lake. This was the only thing he left in the rhino's backpack.
thing.
After drinking all the wine, the shadow of Yidi Mountain completely disappeared.
The heat is flowing in the meridians, and the wine made from fireweed is indeed extraordinary.
But Bai Yunsheng is still calm and calm. Ever since he experienced the battle in the Demon Realm and learned the secrets of the Sangu clan, he has kept himself like this.
Xiao Linglong, who was sitting in the cabin, did not come out to join in the fun because she knew Bai Yunsheng was not a lively person. So she was alone in the cabin, tapping her powdered cheeks and counting the time.
There is about half a stick of incense.
The boat has left the shore far, far away, and may have almost reached the other shore.
Linglong couldn't bear the loneliness and asked the boatman:
"Uncle, when can we get to Fengdu?"
"Already arrived."
Just as the boatman said the third word, there was a loud bang, and a huge wave of water rose into the sky from the bottom of the boat, instantly lifting the bow of the boat. Bai Yunsheng and Linglong were also thrown into the air.
"ah!!"
Linglong’s familiar scream echoed through the water.
"Plop! Plop!"
The two of them fell into the water without any hindrance and disappeared.
"Hula la."
The white water spray disappeared in an instant, and the water surface was calm as usual. The boatman continued to sail forward with the awning boat, and soon disappeared in the mist.
"Gululu..."
There was little light in the dim lake, and Bai Yunsheng and Linglong kept bubbles in their mouths, looking around for a way out.
Linglong actually knew how to swim while holding her breath, but when she just tried to surface, Bai Yunsheng grabbed her and swam deeper into the water.
Linglong struggled fiercely at first, but Bai Yunsheng ignored her, and soon she fainted due to lack of oxygen and fell unconscious.
Bai Yunsheng held the unconscious Linglong with one hand, cut through the cold water with the other and dived to the bottom. The black eyes behind the mask looked forward, carefully sensing the way forward.
"Huhu."
Soon, a meandering cyclone suddenly appeared in the dim lake water.
The air flow kept shaking and rotating, as if the huge mouth of a sea beast was constantly swallowing bone-breaking ice water, but what was shocking was that the surrounding lake water did not have any moisture at all.
The whirlwind quickly spread backwards, creating a nine-turn turbulence that led all the way to the depths of the dark lake bottom.
Bai Yunsheng did not avoid the whirlpool but swam towards the air current.
As soon as the two of them got fifty steps closer to the whirlwind current, they were instantly pulled into the whirlpool by a strong suction force.
"Huhuhuhu..."
The wind howled in my ears.
After an unknown amount of time, when Bai Yunsheng opened his eyes again, the whirlwind and turbulence had disappeared, and they were floating in a strange lake.
Before Linglong woke up, Bai Yunsheng was already so shocked by the scenery in front of him that his hair stood on end.
The dark lake is dotted with green light, lingering around the mountains. The dark peaks at the bottom of the lake are towering, and the tops of the peaks go straight to the sea with no end in sight. This momentum is no weaker than the mountains on the ground.
Tall black seaweed covered the cold rocks, and strings of strange-looking fish were shuttled between the rocks. They were large and small, and all kinds of strange things, but they seemed to have not seen the two living people Bai Yunsheng, and they were leisurely and comfortable.
Wandering in the quiet lake.
Bai Yunsheng raised his eyes and couldn't help but his pupils lit up. Not far away from the mountains, a radiant city under the lake suddenly appeared in front of him, like a sleeping ancient beast lying at the bottom of the vast lake.
Bai Yunsheng dragged the unconscious Linglong and swam towards the light, only to realize that he didn't feel any pressure at the bottom of the unknown deep lake and could breathe freely.
The closer we get to the city under the lake, the dazzling light becomes dimmer.
Three moments later, Bai Yunsheng was standing in the sky above this magnificent city under the lake, and the tremor in his heart only increased.
I saw that this city is more than a thousand miles from east to west, and the edges from north to south are even invisible. The green city walls rise from the ground, thirty to forty feet long, with a cold color, but without losing any weight and vicissitudes.
From this angle, you can overlook the entire city under the lake. On the wide green road in the city, there are all kinds of strange-looking lives. The style of each building is completely different from the square world, round, arc, pointed, flat, oblique.
There are all kinds of strange and strange shapes that dazzle the eyes. Amidst the dazzling scenery, there is an extremely dazzling and majestic palace located in the center of the city. It surpasses the entire lake city in terms of height and grandeur.
“This is the legendary ghost town Fengdu!”
Before Bai Yunsheng could calm down the shock in his heart, "Hululu", there was suddenly a noisy sound of splashing water not far in front of them, and an eight-wheeled carriage appeared slowly. Bai Yunsheng immediately became alert.
Soon, two strange black horses pulled a carriage to Bai Yunsheng's side. The horses' heads were covered with dark cyan scales, their entire body was dark gray, they had deer hooves and a lion's tail. They were tall and mighty. Bai Yunsheng recognized this thing at a glance.
He is a sea dragon horse and is a famous horse in the sea of ghosts.
The tall carriage was painted with a layer of blood red, which was very eye-catching. The coachman driving the car looked a little weak, his face was gloomy, and he opened his snow-white teeth and asked respectfully: "Are you the son of Bai Yunsheng?"
"Yes, I am."
"Sir, please get in the car. I have been ordered by the Demon King to come and fetch you."
The coachman invited Bai Yunsheng into the carriage without a smile. The latter did not show any doubts about this sudden greeting.
"drive!"
The groom gave a sharp shout, and the two strange horses roared loudly, turning around and galloping towards Fengdu City.
Yu Linglong lay quietly and unconscious in the soft carriage. Bai Yunsheng lifted the curtain and looked out the window. The carriage had already entered Fengdu.
As soon as the figures on the street saw the carriage coming, they hurriedly dodged and gave way. Each of these people had different faces. Most of them were aquatic monsters, fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs. They were large and small, round and flat, square and slanted, tall, short, fat and thin, with many arms and legs, and many.
They have all kinds of eyes and mouths. But whether they are human faces or animal heads, their faces seem to be covered with a layer of gray, and they look no different from freshly dead corpses.
"Da da da..."
The carriage moved swiftly and steadily towards the magnificent palace at the end of Tongli Avenue.
