The Taste of Ghosts in the World

They hurried in the direction they were going, and when they approached Longhu Square, Feng Baisui's frown finally eased a little.

"It doesn't seem to be that serious anymore."

"Sure enough, it has something to do with this place!"

Qi Mu gritted his teeth and quickened his pace a little.

After walking for a while, in the distance, I found two vague figures beside Longhu Lake.

It was already midnight, and there was no one on the street at all, Qi Mu felt puzzled, and took a closer look, it turned out to be Qi Buyang and Luo Lang.

"What are you doing here?"

"A vision has appeared in Longhu..." Qi Buyang frowned, his face was serious, "Why are you here?"

"It's too troublesome to say." Qi Mu paused, omitted the other parts, and told him the main ones: "I saw something here ten years ago, let's see if it's true."

Qi Buyang was puzzled, "Look at it in the middle of the night?"

"Hmm...can't sleep."

At this time, the hanged ghost also appeared, landed beside them, and said with a worried face: "It seems that this evening will not be peaceful."

As if to verify his words, as soon as the words fell, the sky rumbled with muffled thunder.

Qi Mu asked him: "You have been here for decades, have you really never seen the water god in this lake?"

"No." The Hanged Ghost shook his head, "Sometimes the lake is not very calm, I guess that's the reason, but I've never really seen it."

Feng Baisui suddenly raised his hand to hold his forehead, and Qi Mu asked him, "Is it still ringing?"

"It's getting louder..." He shook his head gently, trying to suppress the discomfort, and asked Qi Mu, "What did you see in the lake?"

Qi Mu pursed his lips and looked at the turbulent lake. Tonight's style was extravagant, the branches by the lake rustled, and the night sky was so dark that he couldn't see a single star.

"Dragon." He took a breath and said in a deep voice, "There are dragons in this lake."

……

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Qi Buyang was the first to speak out: "Dragon?! Impossible... It's not called 'Longhu', so there must be a dragon..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and he looked at the others, but found that no one showed surprise except himself, but looked at Longhu in unison, as if they were looking for the trace of the dragon.

"You... believe it?"

Feng Baisui ignored him, and Hanged Ghost nodded gently, "I've had this suspicion for a long time, I didn't expect it to be true."

On the other hand, Luo Lang showed a nostalgic look, "I have seen the dragon here once, and I haven't greeted it for more than ten years after thinking about it."

"Really...there are dragons...?" Qi Buyang suddenly felt that this world is too crazy. There are dragons in the Dragon Lake. Could it be that there is still Lei Feng in the Leifeng Pagoda?

Before he could finish his wild thoughts, the half-broken street lights along the lake suddenly started to flicker, flickering on and off, which made people feel a lot of uneasiness in vain.The waves in the lake churned even bigger, as if something else could be discerned vaguely from the dark lake water.

The tense black shadow seemed to be moving towards where they were standing. Gradually, a section of dragon scale could be seen arching on the lake surface, sinking down again, splashing water.

Qi Mu felt a chill running up his back, goosebumps crawled to his cheeks, his heart was beating in his chest, there was some fear, but more excitement and curiosity.

It's about to meet the legendary dragon... what will it look like?

Taking the time to glance at Qi Buyang next to him, he also had a tense face, wide eyes, and stared at the lake without blinking.

Qi Mu suddenly asked a question, "Will it suddenly attack us?"

After finishing speaking, Luo Lang chuckled and said irresponsibly, "It's hard to say."

Qi Buyang silently took out the paper talisman and pinched it in his hand.

Feng Baisui took a look at him, and pulled Qi Mu behind him to hide.

Only the hanged ghost didn't respond. Qi Buyang motioned him to hide for a while, and he said indifferently: "Staying here for decades has occupied its territory. If it wanted to kill me, it would have killed me long ago. Besides, I'm already dead. What are you afraid of?"

Qi Buyang thought about it, so he didn't say anything.

At this time, the lake water in front of him was also stirring, and half a huge dragon's head popped out soundlessly from the water near the shore. Its rough skin covered with scales could be seen clearly from a short distance, and it was submerged in the water below the eyes. An orange-red eyeball emitted a frightening aura, looking straight at the few people on the shore of the lake.

For a long time no action was taken by either party.

Qi Mu felt that this was a bit embarrassing, he poked his head out from behind Feng Baisui hesitantly, and said bluntly, "Hello."

Long's gaze turned to him suddenly, and Qi Mu's heart went up, but he didn't flinch.

One person and one dragon stared at each other for a few seconds, but unexpectedly the other party just nodded at him, his attitude can be said to be friendly.

"You... are the water god of Longhu?"

It nodded again, and this action also stirred up quite a few splashes.

Suddenly there was a low roaring sound in the ear, which made the eardrum go numb, and it took a moment to realize that it was talking.

"You are finally here."

Several people glanced at each other and found that it should be looking at Feng Baisui, although it was not obvious.

Feng Baisui remembered the tinnitus just now, and asked it coldly, "Did you cause the tinnitus?"

"The appointment date is approaching, please forgive me for calling you in this way."

"What's the agreed date?" Feng Baisui was still sullen, the tinnitus was really uncomfortable, and he didn't really want to forgive it.

"20 years ago, you asked me to keep it for you. Now that the 20-year period is approaching, I must return it to its original owner."

Qi Mu poked Feng Baisui, "What did you entrust him with keeping?"

"How do I know." Feng Baisui was also puzzled, "I was not born 20 years ago."

"..."

"Please follow me, the things are at the bottom of the lake." After the dragon finished speaking, he slowly lowered his head and disappeared.

Qi Mu asked Feng Baisui: "Are you going?"

The latter did not answer immediately.

"Is it malicious? Will it hurt people?" Qi Buyang asked worriedly.

"I remember it was a very honest dragon." Luo Lang smiled slightly, "And it's an old dragon."

"...Go and have a look." Feng Baisui considered for a while and made a decision.

Qi Mu nodded and began to climb the guardrail by the lake.

Feng Baisui grabbed him, "What are you doing?"

"Go down." Qi Mu answered naturally.

"I'm not breathing, so I can go down," Feng Baisui put him next to Qi Buyang, you are a living person, do you want to be drowned? "

"..."

"Wait here, be back soon."

Qi Mu could only nod his head.

Feng Baisui gave Luo Lang a warning look, turned around and floated down Long Lake, and soon submerged into the dark water.

Qi Mu, who stayed on the shore, felt that it had been a long time and he hadn't seen him come up yet. He looked at his watch, only 2 minutes had passed, and remembered that the hanged ghost had said that the souls in Longhu couldn't come out, so he couldn't help but feel even more worried.

He wanted to chat with Qi Buyang for a while to divert his attention, but when he was about to speak, he felt the other party pull his sleeve.

"What?"

"Look over there..."

Qi Mu looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a figure walking towards Longhu carrying something, halfway there seemed to be someone else, and he was immediately startled.

He raised his head in a panic, and met Qi Mu's gaze, which turned out to be Hu Yaohui who had been missing for a long time!

"you……"

Hesitating to utter a word, Qi Mu found that he didn't know where to start.

Qi Buyang was at a loss, and asked in a low voice, "Who is he?"

"...Hu Yaohui."

"It's him?!" Qi Buyang widened his eyes, and looked at Hu Yaohui with a layer of guard in his eyes.

"Hi, Qi Mu." Hu Yaohui greeted in a natural manner, and then caught a glimpse of Luo Lang behind him, "Master, you are here too."

Luo Lang smiled and nodded, "We meet again."

"Thank you for your help last time, although I didn't make it to the end. This time... please help me too?"

"What are you talking about?" Luo Lang had a puzzled expression on his face.

Hu Yaohui frowned, paused, and said, "You understand."

Luo Lang smiled innocently, "I don't understand." Then he put on a joking expression, "Look at where I am standing now, isn't the meaning very clear?"

Hu Yaohui immediately changed his expression, "You obviously helped me last time!"

"Because I wanted to do that then, just to help you by the way."

"..." Hu Yaohui didn't speak, but a glint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

After standing blankly for a while, he dropped the things on his shoulders and walked slowly towards them.

"These days... how are you doing?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?" Qi Mu subconsciously held the arm with the smoke scar.

Of course, the other party saw all this movement, and he asked in an extremely gentle and gentle voice, "Does the scar on your hand still hurt?"

"...Do you want to try it?"

"I don't want to." Hu Yaohui stopped in his tracks.

Qi Mu's eyes wandered to the ground behind him, what he carried seemed to be a sack, when he threw it down, the mouth of the sack fell apart, and the contents inside were exposed, it turned out to be a person!

That face made Qi Mu feel very familiar...

After thinking about it for a long time, it turned out that it was the boy who claimed to be "yin and yang eyes"!

He opened his eyes wide, slowly turned his gaze back, and found that Hu Yaohui was also staring at him, and suddenly felt his hairs stand on end.

Gathering his mind, Qi Mu tentatively asked, "Where have you... been these few days?"

"Hiding everywhere." Hu Yaohui shrugged nonchalantly, and suddenly changed the topic: "But I have been hiding near you..."

Qi Mu only felt a chill. He pretended not to see the unknown burning gaze, gave Qi Buyang a wink, and told him in a low voice, "It seems that the person over there is not dead yet. You should find a chance to take a look."

Qi Buyang nodded slightly.

"Do you want me to help?" Luo Lang suddenly asked.

In view of this person's uncertainty and unclear position, Qi Mu and Qi Buyang were both hesitant, Luo Lang said nothing, smiled at them, and hooked his hand over there.

The sack immediately flew over obediently, and then... fell heavily to the ground.

"Easy!" Qi Buyang screamed, and quickly squatted down to check the boy's condition.

Hu Yaohui didn't expect this one-sided situation, his face has completely changed, his facial features are a little distorted.

"Ahui..." Qi Mu thought for a while, and decided to ask him: "Are those people all killed by you?"

Hu Yaohui snorted coldly, "You've already made up your mind, why are you asking me?"

"I just suspect..."

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of splashing water suddenly sounded in the Longhu Lake. Feng Baisui slowly rose up from the bottom of the lake, and something in his hand was emitting a layer of hazy white light. When he looked closely, he realized that it was a huge bead.

When everyone's attention was attracted to him, Hu Yaohui suddenly made an attack. Originally, he and Qi Mu were very close, but at this moment he ran over quickly and showed the gleaming dagger in his hand.

Only Feng Baisui saw his movements, and almost instantly, before he could say the word "be careful", he saw the point of the knife stabbing fiercely into Qi Mu's chest.

Qi Mu was pushed down to the ground by the force coming straight at him, Feng Baisui's face suddenly changed, he rushed over and grabbed Hu Yaohui's neck with one hand, the force made him immediately roll his eyes.But there is no time to care about him now, Feng Baisui looked at Qi Mu's wound, blood was already flowing out, he swung his long arm, Hu Yaohui was thrown out, hit the lamppost next to him heavily, and then limply Slide down and pass out.

Feng Baisui squatted down, helped Qi Mu sit up, held the exposed handle of the knife, clenched his teeth, and looked deeply.

Qi Mu could only feel the piercing pain coming from the knife edge, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to cover it, but when he touched Feng Baisui's cold fingers, the palm of his hand felt wet and slippery. He didn't need to look to know that his hand must be covered with him. of blood.

The scene in front of him became a little blurry, the beads thrown by Feng Baisui rolled onto Qi Mu's body, the originally soft white light suddenly exploded, surrounding the two of them in an instant, causing Qi Mu to squint his eyes, the last thing he saw was The picture shows Qi Buyang running over anxiously.
