The person who came was ragged, soaked, with straw-like hair, like a beggar who came out of nowhere.Shi Jing was startled, but when she looked closely, she found that this person was actually Jiumei.

In just half a day, she has changed from a fairy in white clothes to a tattered beggar woman. I really don't know what happened to her.

But no matter what, she was able to appear alive, Shi Jing was already very pleasantly surprised in her heart, while smiling, she hastily helped her up.When he was about to talk to her, he saw her face full of horror, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying, and kept saying: "Xiaojing...help me, Xiaojing...help me..."

Since the reunion, because Shi Jing has succeeded as the master of Shenshui Palace, Jiumei has never called her that way again. At this time, she was so frightened that she followed the old habit and called her again and again. Shi Jing became "Xiao Jing".

Shi Jing didn't care about this small detail, but the third sister beside her had tears in her eyes, bowed and said, "Jiu Mei is so scared and confused, madam, please don't take offense."

If there was anything about Third Sister that made her feel dissatisfied, it was that she was too cautious regardless of timing.It's a good thing to be careful, but you have to distinguish between time and place, right?No matter what, under such an opportunity, Shi Jing wouldn't pick them up, right?Isn't it a tyrant and an idiot?

Of course, Shi Jing didn't have time to talk to the third sister, she just smiled and waved her hand, stroked Jiumei's hair, and said softly: "Jiumei, don't be afraid, Xiaojing is here, third sister and everyone Now, don't be afraid, no one can hurt you."

Seeing that Jiumei had calmed down a lot under her comfort, but she was still trembling all over, unable to utter a complete sentence, Shi Jing handed Xiaobai to Third Sister, and gently hugged her in her arms In the middle, caressing her back, comforting her softly.

Like a drowned person catching the last piece of driftwood, Jiumei hugged Shi Jing tightly. After a while, she slowly stopped shaking.

Shi Jing felt that the time was almost up, so she asked softly just now: "Jiu Mei is not afraid, tell Xiao Jing, what did you see just now?"

As soon as this sentence was asked, Jiumei's body trembled uncontrollably again. After a long time, she trembled and choked out two words: "Bat...bat..."

Before she finished speaking, she rolled her eyes and passed out.

The disciples were shocked, and Shi Jing's heart sank. When she hurriedly tried to cut her pulse, she found that she was not injured. She was probably just fainted due to excessive shock.

But what exactly is this "bat" referring to?Could it really be that black, silent, winged rat creature?

Thinking of those creatures who like to hang upside down under the eaves, Shi Jing shivered for no reason.These little things seemed a bit intrusive, but if Jiumei was frightened into such a state by such things, she didn't quite believe it.

There must be something hidden in it.

In addition to having confidence in Jiumei's courage, she also paid attention to everyone's expressions. Sure enough, when she heard these two words, the faces of Third Sister and several older disciples suddenly became a little ugly. The expression on Jiumei's face was basically the same panic.

Shi Jing saw it, but remained calm, and arranged for the disciples to settle down for Jiumei to rest, then called the third sister to carry Xiaobai to her tent, and asked casually, "Third sister, When did this 'bat' become such a scary thing?"

Hearing Shi Jing's question, the third sister showed that panicked expression again: "Madam, don't ask."

Shi Jing smiled and said, "Third sister, it's not that I want to ask, it's just that you have seen Jiumei's appearance today. I don't know much about today's Jianghu. Now I am trapped on this deserted island overseas with all my sisters. , if the third sister doesn't mention something from the sidelines, I'm afraid, it will be our Shenshui Palace who will suffer in the end."

The third sister's complexion became more and more tangled, she hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind and said: "Since the madam said so, then I will tell the truth to the madam... just one point, madam, don't be afraid."

Shi Jing nodded and said: "Of course, I have died once. No matter how terrifying things are in this world, it is not so easy to frighten me."

The third sister looked at her, smiled wryly and said: "Although Madam's experience is unusual, but I know that there are some things that you will not be afraid of just because you have experienced it once. For example, if you put Madam in In the coffin, can Madam still smile as usual?"

Hearing Sanjie's words, Shi Jing felt that sitting in the pitch-dark tent with dim light was somewhat similar to waking up in a coffin that day.Suddenly there was a chill in her heart, and she shivered subconsciously: "Sister, you mean, this 'bat'..."

The third sister sighed and said, "Yes, this 'bat' is not a real bat, but a person?"

Shi Jing couldn't help but muttered repeatedly: "A person?"

The third sister said with a wry smile: "That's right, this person is 'Master Bat'."

Hearing her suddenly serious tone, Shi Jing couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "It seems that this 'bat boy' must be an extremely terrifying person."

She said this half-jokingly to relieve the atmosphere, but the third sister nodded and said: "He is indeed, he can be regarded as the most terrifying man in the world."

Hearing this, Shi Jing couldn't help but said: "The scariest man? Is it more terrifying than that blood-clothed man?"

The third sister said slowly: "Xue Yiren's swordsmanship is good, even the palace master once praised him a few words, but this 'bat boy' is alone in the golden cave on the sea, and his martial arts are already comparable to his. They are on par. But what makes this person terrifying is not his martial arts, but..."

dark.

Endless darkness.

What is more frightening than the darkness where nothing can be seen?

The story has been told, and the third sister has already left.

Shi Jing hugged Xiaobai and leaned on the rock, listening to the sound of her son sleeping in her arms, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

She was still thinking about that mysterious and frightening "bat boy", thinking about the secret "golden cave at sea", thinking about his phrase "absolute darkness".

Shenshui Palace is the most expensive palace in the world. Except for the jellyfish Yinji who is the best in martial arts and has few opponents, the information collected in the palace is also the most abundant.But even so, there is still very little known about this "bat boy" and his "gold selling cave at sea".

This is not all because the jellyfish Yinji hates men, but also because he is too mysterious, too weird, and completely unpredictable.

It took a lot of time to collect the only fragmented information bit by bit.The most rewarding time was when a disciple in the palace rescued an orphan girl who was shipwrecked in the past. Unfortunately, the orphan girl was killed afterwards, and the disciple was seriously injured, and his spirit was also greatly stimulated. When he came back, he died after only saying a few words.

Jellyfish Yin Ji was furious, and sent many people to investigate, but they found nothing, and even a disciple disappeared during the investigation.Since then, this "bat boy" has become a tacit taboo in Shenshui Palace.

"It's not that I'm afraid of him. If this kind of stinky man falls into the hands of Shenshui Palace, the Palace Master will definitely not make him feel better. It's just that he is hiding in the South China Sea, and the distance from Shenshui Palace in Tianshan Mountain is too far away." Even if the distance is too far, each other will not invade each other, and we will live in peace."

At the end of the story, the third sister sums it up like this.

Shi Jing deeply agrees, but she is somewhat noncommittal about the miraculous actions of the "bat boy" she said.

The human heart is sinister, and suspiciousness breeds dark ghosts. The "bat boy" is just better at figuring out people's psychology, and there is also an element of mystification, which is why people fear him.

She has always felt that only human beings are the most terrifying, and all other things are not to be feared.

However, as if under a spell, the darkness before dawn seemed endless, never ending.In the corner of the tent, the shadows in the corner seemed to laugh at her duplicity.

Who can not be afraid of darkness?

Or, what they are afraid of is not the darkness, but the various unknowns hidden in the darkness.

The unknown brings fear.

And the most terrible thing is, Shi Jing always feels a strange premonition, as if there is really a bat watching her in the dark... Waiting for an opportunity to jump up and bite her neck, gnaw her throat, and give her a fatal blow hit.

This thought made her feel chilly all over, so she could only practice her magical skills secretly, while hugging Xiao Bai tightly, forcing herself to calm down, and finally fell asleep again.

After a short rest, the sky was already bright.Xiaobai woke up early, and began to toss about every day energetically.Shi Jing sighed, and didn't want to sleep anymore, she got up immediately, tidied up briefly, and led him out of the tent.

Everyone else has already got up one after another, and the third sister even stood beside her early to direct and dispatch, as if she was completely unaffected by yesterday.

But Jiumei was still drowsy, but her pulse was normal. Shi Jing thought she was too tired and didn't care too much.

Seeing the spirits of the other people, Shi Jing felt a little relieved, and took a look at the surrounding situation by the way.When I looked at it during the day, although the island occupied a small area, it was enough for temporary shelter.

There are many reefs around the island, so there is no need to worry about the invasion of sharks and beasts.When looking far away, you can see that the mountains and rocks in the distance are relatively tall and undulating, and it seems that there are caves hidden in them.

Shi Jing was watching there, when the third sister came over and reported: "Ma'am, we have already checked the mountain over there. Although there are no flowers and trees, there are some turf growing. I think there must be a place to store rainwater in the valley. It has been left I will visit with a few sisters, and I will definitely report back later.”

Can't say, a few disciples of Shenshui Palace came to reply earlier, saying that there is a small puddle in the mountain over there, but it is the rainwater stored in the past, and the problem of water shortage has finally been solved.

So the crowd migrated to the valley in a mighty way, and it took a whole morning to settle down again.In the second half of the afternoon, the fire had been exposed to the sun again, and everyone actually collected a lot of dry seaweed all over the valley, so dinner was settled.

Shi Jing was very satisfied with the efficiency of the Shenshui Palace. What was even more gratifying was that because the direction of the water flow was to pass near this island, some of the materials on their boat actually floated along with the current.This includes the original wooden box for food, the cowhide bag for fresh water, and messy wooden boards, wood chips, wooden barrels, wooden basins and other things.

Hearing that the third sister had actually arranged for some good water to salvage things, and started to rebuild the plan of the small wooden boat, Shi Jing was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

Sure enough, it is still good to be organized, but it seems that this time it is indeed going to return in vain.

Thinking of the jellyfish Yin Ji who was retreating in the secret valley lake in the great desert, Shi Jing felt quite sad.While he was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard someone not far away saying loudly: "My master, I respectfully invite Madam to come to the island."
