escape the nightmare

Chapter 22 Ghosts

Jiang Zhang pulled Lin Feng all the way forward, throwing the things in his hand at the ghosts while running.The ghosts in front of them were obviously afraid of these things, but they didn't want to just leave like this and give up chasing Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang.So their behavior seemed a little contradictory and hesitant, advancing and retreating around, which provided Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang with an excellent opportunity to escape.

Lin Feng followed Jiang Zhang and galloped through the thick fog.Even though Lin Feng had such a good sense of direction, he couldn't tell which direction they were running.

Lin Feng really wanted to stop and ask Jiang Zhang where he was going to take him, but the ghosts coming from all directions did not give him a chance to breathe.

The imperial city in the dense fog is like a giant maze, and this is a maze combined with competition!

Lin Feng didn't know how long he had been running. Just when his legs felt sore, Jiang Zhang turned around and pushed him. He felt himself being pushed between two rockeries.Only then did Jiang Zhang let go of his hand.

Lin Feng twisted his wrist in pain, he vaguely saw a bloodstain on his wrist being pinched by Jiang Zhang.

Lin Feng asked: "Where is this?"

Jiang Zhang: "I don't know."

... Lin Feng wondered if this guy could only say three words.

I don't know if you just run around like this?

Lin Feng felt that if he confessed here this time, he would not have been killed by a ghost, but you must have been pissed off by Jiang Zhang.

As if seeing Lin Feng's anger, Jiang Zhang finally said a few more words: "But it's always right to get rid of these innocent souls first."

Lin Feng couldn't deny it.He looked around, and the ghosts slowly dispersed because they lost their target, leaving only two or three scattered around.Now that the crisis was temporarily relieved, he turned his eyes to Jiangzhang's hands. He was very curious about what Jiangzhang just sprinkled, which could overcome these inhuman things.

Jiang Zhang spread out his hand, his palm was bright red, it looked as if it had been stained with blood, and Lin Feng was shocked to see it.He was taken aback by Jiangzhang's hand, and quickly asked Jiangzhang if he was injured or if it didn't matter.

I saw Jiang Zhang smiled, clapped his hands, and raised some red dust-like things from his hands.

Jiang Zhang said: "It's just cinnabar." In order to prevent Lin Feng from bombarding him with one question after another, Jiang Zhang explained: "I took it from the lounge before."

Lin Feng: "..." He suddenly remembered the stories of ghosts and monsters circulating in the ancient city told by Lao Ma. He didn't expect that the staff who had been working here for a long time would believe these things.

If it were normal, as a staunch materialist, Lin Feng would definitely disdain this kind of behavior, but he didn't expect to save their lives this time, so he even silently recited a sentence of Amitabha in his heart, expressing his respect for them. The gratitude of the staff.

Jiang Zhang ignored Lin Feng, he looked out through the hole in the rockery.Although the surrounding area is surrounded by thick fog, it can be roughly inferred that there should be buildings similar to pools nearby.Because he vaguely saw some wicker shadows.

If this is a pool...

Jiang Zhang kept calculating in his heart.After thinking about some things, he leaned against the rockery wall and moved forward little by little.He walked for a certain distance, only to realize that Lin Feng hadn't followed. He lowered his voice and called out to Lin Feng in a low voice.

Soon, Lin Feng appeared in his field of vision.

Like Jiang Zhang, Lin Feng bent slightly to avoid exposing himself.He quickly moved to Jiang Zhang's side, his lips moved up and down, as if he was saying something.

Jiang Zhang turned his head slightly, and he heard what Lin Feng said: "I blame you for your size, your eldest brother, I have a name, okay?"

Jiang Zhang: "But you didn't tell me."

Lin Feng was rendered speechless by Jiang Zhang's rebuttal.Indeed, it seemed that he really hadn't told Jiang Zhang what his name was.

"Lin—Feng—." Lin Feng had just opened his mouth, but he was afraid that his voice would be too loud to provoke those unclean things, so he immediately put his voice back down, gritting his teeth and said word by word.

Lin Feng vaguely heard Jiang Zhang say a short "oh", then turned his head and continued to explore the depths of the rockery.I don't know if this guy listened to it or not.

Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang were exploring the way between the rockery one after the other. Occasionally, one or two ghosts would suddenly turn their heads, as if they were just trying to scare them, they stopped for a while and then left.

Due to being too nervous, Lin Feng was even frightened several times by the branches that scraped his clothes.

He glanced at Jiangzhang who was walking ahead, and he felt that Jiangzhang seemed to have an air of fearlessness.He saw that even if Jiangzhang saw ghosts turning their heads to look at them, or walking towards them, they didn't look afraid.

He was a little curious, is this really the first time Jiangzhang has experienced such a thing?

While Lin Feng was wandering, he did not forget to pay attention to the movement around him.Jiang Zhang walked in front and was responsible for observing the specific situation and the path ahead, while Lin Feng was in the rear, checking to see if there was anything ambushing on the branch road.

Just when Lin Feng passed a rockery, a beam of yellow light that was not very bright flashed past his eyes.He immediately stepped back a few steps, moved his face slightly closer to the fake cave, and looked out through the fake cave with one eye.

This is actually a lake?

Lin Feng moved his face back into the hole, opened his eyes wide and tried to see the lake clearly through the thick fog.

It's a pity that the only thing he can see now is the pool of water, and what seems to be glowing things floating on the water.The faint light shone through the thick fog and barely reached the side of the rockery.If it weren't for the gloomy surroundings, it would be hard for Lin Feng to notice this extremely inconspicuous light.

He looked around the lake again, and after confirming that there were no signs of ghosts wandering around, he was excited by his discovery, and quickly turned around and called Jiang Zhang over.

Jiang Zhang didn't respond to him.However, Lin Feng didn't feel surprised. This person is such a virtuous person, and he would pretend not to hear it as if he didn't care about him.

Lin Feng felt that Jiang Zhang should be on his way back, so he waited there for a while.Feeling that it was about time for Jiangzhang to come back, but he still didn't see him, Lin Feng couldn't help being a little anxious, he was worried whether Jiangzhang didn't hear him calling him just now, or whether they got separated.

Or, what happened to Jiangzhang!

No matter what the reason was, Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He decided to ignore the lake and find Jiangzhang.So he decided to go in the direction Jiang Zhang left.

When he lifted his foot, he found that he couldn't walk.Lin Feng suddenly realized something, he finally realized that everything around him seemed to be frozen.

Lin Feng took out the "June [-]" in his pocket and flipped through it quickly:

"(one)

In the winter of 613, the mandarin duck pool was formed.

It is recorded in the annals that every night late at night, Emperor Jiacheng and his palace servants embraced the Queen of Swallows and went to the Yuanyang Pool to bathe together.Flour-faced jade skin, cups of toasts interlaced.Thousands of miles of lotus lanterns, mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Later, there were rumors that the queen swallow's favorite thing was to play with the emperor in the water, and the queen swallow flew with her belt in the lotus bushes while laughing happily, smiling like a flower.From this, Emperor Jiacheng was drunk, dreamed and died, and spring came and autumn came back.

Therefore, the name of the pool is given, and it is called mandarin duck, which means love and joy in life and death. "

Lin Feng frowned as he looked at this piece of classical Chinese. Fortunately, it wasn't too literary, and it was still within the scope of his Chinese reading and comprehension ability.

It turned out that what I saw just now was not a lake, but a bathing pool covering an extremely large area!

It should be the mandarin duck pond mentioned in the book.

"Playing in the water...the belt is flying...drunk and dreaming..."

Lin Feng repeated the contents of the article in a low voice.It wasn't until he heard Jiang Zhang calling his name that he realized that everything around him had returned to normal, and the book in his hand had been closed.When Lin Feng turned his head, Jiang Zhang was already standing beside him, apparently seeing the "June [-]" in his hand.

Seeing that he frowned slightly, Lin Feng asked, "What are you talking about? I just called you several times and didn't hear you."

"what……?"

Lin Feng thought he would ask himself about "June [-]", but he was still thinking of some reason to prevaricate.Although he barely saved himself, he had to be careful in everything, after all, they had just met, not counting the accident at noon, it was only a few hours.

Lin Feng thought about it for a while, he always felt that Jiang Zhang had always had reservations about him, so he didn't need to shake off all his wealth.

As long as he doesn't ask, there's no need for him to bring it up.

Jiang Zhang thought that Lin Feng didn't hear what he said, so he repeated what he had just said.

Lin Feng randomly found a reason, saying that what he said just now was the tour guide's words that he overheard during the tour.He told Jiang Zhang what he had just discovered Yuanyangchi, and briefly summarized the content of the book in his own words, and told him the task he had to complete before leaving the game.

Of course, in order to avoid Jiang Zhang's suspicion, he expressed it in a speculative tone.

"You mean, the only thing missing in the exhibition area is that Yingyan costume." After hearing Lin Feng's words, Jiang Zhang touched his chin with his hand, "So we just want to find this costume now?"

Lin Feng nodded.

Jiang Zhang glanced at Lin Feng, and fell into a short silence. Lin Feng didn't interrupt his thinking, he felt that anyone who encountered such a thing needed a little time to digest.

So Lin Feng consciously went to let the wind out and observe the movements of the surrounding ghosts.As soon as he turned his head, Jiang Zhang spoke again: "You just said that you think the clothes or a certain part of the clothes are in this pool?"

Lin Feng: "Yes, so I think we may have to..."

Before Lin Feng finished speaking, Jiang Zhang had already raised his foot and walked towards the location of Yuanyang Pool that Lin Feng had just pointed out.Lin Feng didn't expect Jiang Zhang to act so vigorously.He thought he would have to spend some time trying to persuade him.

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.

They bent down and walked along the path, putting aside the wanton growth of willows around them with their hands. After clearing away the heavy fog, Yuanyangchi finally showed the whole picture in front of them.
