Chapter 77: Gui Dao Wan
My conversation with Lin Jianguo was basically over here, because Lin Jianguo had explained everything he could.
In fact, I wanted to ask what the so-called god looked like? Where should I go to find him when I get to Guida Bay? But at this moment, the entire ship suddenly began to shake. Lin Jianguo suddenly stood up and said with a somewhat unpleasant expression on his face, “We can’t talk anymore. It’s almost time.”
Before I knew it, Lin Jianguo had already stood up and was hurrying outside. I was very puzzled, but I had no choice but to keep up with him.
“We’ve been here too long. The being inside is already reminding me,” Lin Jianguo explained to me, because the deck was so slippery, and he almost fell several times when he walked too quickly. I was able to catch him in time.
“Are you talking about the god?” I asked.
“Huh, who else could it be but him?” Lin Jianguo replied lightly, and at this time, he had already grabbed the rope ladder with both hands and started to climb down.
“Where is the god in Guiwan Bay?” I also grabbed the rope ladder at this time and began to climb down. Looking at Lin Jianguo’s appearance, time was pressing, and I didn’t dare to delay, but I still took the time to ask the questions I wanted to ask.
“If you don’t ask, I will tell you before we get off the boat,” Lin Jianguo seemed very anxious.
“What does the god look like?” I asked again.
Lin Jianguo’s hand on the rope ladder suddenly shook, and then he said, “My son is what he is.”
I was silent for a moment, because this question obviously touched Lin Jianguo’s heart, even if I didn’t mean to.
With two dull thuds, Lin Jianguo and I jumped back onto the boat. The faces of the cultivators on the boat were all very ugly. They had been arguing for a long time, but Lin Jianguo had not responded to them, and they knew that arguing was useless.
And the strange experience of entering Guidaowan made these people afraid to act rashly. After all, with such a big commotion, only a fool would believe that everything was safe underwater.
“It’s time to go,” Lin Jianguo sighed, then blew a whistle, and the bloody boat began to row again.
Lin Jianguo stood on the deck and said to me, “Don’t be curious. The people rowing in this boat are the same as those in the big boat.”
I nodded, noticing that as the small boat began to move, the big boat also began to move at the same time… Lin Jianguo was trying to tell me that these rowers should be similar to the living dead.
“You have to tell us clearly where you are taking us. Otherwise, we won’t get off the boat. We will follow you.” My simple conversation with Lin Jianguo obviously attracted Ji Qing’s attention. He stepped forward and began to talk to Lin Jianguo again.
Compared to his previous attitude, this time his tone was not so good, and he was not so arrogant. His words also had a sense of reason, and it should be the result of several people discussing together.
“You came here to get something, but in this world, there are no good things that you can get so easily. Whether you get off the boat or not, it’s the same. You figure it out yourself.” Lin Jianguo didn’t ignore Ji Qing this time, but said a few words briefly.
“Are you saying that if I want to get what I desire, I must pay the price of danger? Oh, oh, I understand! Haha… I thought it was something else.” Ji Qing seemed to have understood Lin Jianguo’s words in another way, and suddenly looked cheerful.
“But you can’t just help him. You have to help us too. My talent is actually not worse than his… Your master might be more satisfied with me.” After his self-righteous realization, his attitude became much more positive, and he began to befriend Lin Jianguo as he imagined.
Lin Jianguo seemed defeated by Ji Qing, and he didn’t say anything other than a sigh.
In fact, it felt like the fish was caught not because it was afraid of the clear water, but because it was stupid and didn’t know how to avoid it.
I was a little worried. If I didn’t remind Ji Qing and the other cultivators, I felt that I would have a bad conscience. After thinking for a moment, I said, “Ji Qing, what he meant was not to tell you that you have to go through trials and tribulations to get the so-called inheritance. He was telling you that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
But before I could finish, Ji Qing interrupted me with a rude wave of his hand, saying, “Chen Chengyi, you don’t need to use words to confuse me. You have such a good inheritance, why would you risk coming here? You are so greedy, aren’t you? Are you trying to say this to make me give up? I tell you, the mountain doesn’t turn, this opportunity is mine! I don’t need you at all.”
I was speechless and asked, “Do you hate me that much?”
“If someone suddenly appears and changes your fate, do you think you would hate him?” Ji Qing asked me in return.
I was stunned, and subconsciously said, “That’s fate. It’s in your destiny or not. What’s yours is yours.”
“Hmph, hypocritical.” Ji Qing threw his sleeve, looking like he was taking advantage of me. It seems that he has already been deeply rooted and will not listen to what I say.
His tough attitude naturally influenced the cultivators, so they thought that we had a grudge against each other, and Ji Qing was probably telling the truth… So, they all settled down with a sense of security.
I had no choice but to say, “Anyway, you guys be careful. There is no so-called heritage here. There are only endless dangers.”
But no one paid any attention to me.
At this time, the ship had already sailed into the fog, and the entire ship was completely swallowed up by a huge monster.
The visibility was not good in the fog, but I could vaguely see that it was no different from outside the fog. The banks were still vaguely the same as the original dense forest, and the fog-covered water was still quiet. The sky was bluer than usual, so blue that it was a little uncomfortable. This kind of sky should only exist in cartoons.
Unlike the quiet outside, there were all kinds of sounds here, the faint sound of water flowing, like something big swimming underwater, and the strange sounds of the dense forest, making it impossible to tell what they were.
It makes you nervous to face all this.
“Do you know why I have a glimmer of hope for you?” Lin Jianguo suddenly spoke again.
“Why?” I didn’t understand why Lin Jianguo had to tell me what he had already told me.
“In fact, there was a terrible existence hiding outside just now, which is why it was so quiet. This Ghost Beach is not completely enclosed, and at any time, the existence inside may be able to get out. It’s because that existence is outside the entrance, so…” Lin Jianguo whispered.
“What’s out there?” For some reason, when Lin Jianguo mentioned this, I got goosebumps all over my body. My spiritual senses told me that this existence outside should be very powerful, which is why it caused such a reaction in me.
“You’d better not see it, and don’t ask too much. I just want to tell you that this existence is very secretive, and most people can’t detect it at all. But at that time, I was observing you, and you sensed its existence very sensitively. I looked at you once, and I looked at you with great appreciation.” Lin Jianguo said lightly.
“It’s just that I have a more sensitive sense.” Ji Qing interrupted again, unconvinced.
But Lin Jianguo didn’t pay any attention to him, but said to me, “I don’t know anything else, but I know that God seems to have a strong taboo against people like this. As for why, I don’t know.”
“Hmm.” I nodded, but I didn’t know what it meant.
At this time, the boat suddenly swayed and stopped at a reef near the shore. Lin Jianguo then said to us, “We’ve arrived. You can get off the boat.”
Is this the place? Looking at this place, apart from the fog, there is nothing special about it.
“After disembarking, you just need to head towards the southern hillside, and there, there is a cluster of wooden houses, which is your final destination.” Lin Jianguo simply told us.
The repairmen looked at each other, obviously not satisfied with such a simple explanation, but Lin Jianguo ignored them and just called me over to say to me, “There is nothing impossible here. You have to remember that there are many legends about the Yellow River. There are not just one or two people who have seen strange water monsters in the Yellow River. Have you ever thought about where these things come from? I won’t say more, but do you know what you should be careful about?”
“Water monster?” I asked subconsciously.
“Not necessarily. There are so many ghosts and strange things floating on the Yellow River that they don’t necessarily exist only in the water. Maybe the gods will arrange for such a place to exist to contain them.” Lin Jianguo said to me seriously.
“I know,” I replied to Lin Jianguo, although I still didn’t understand why the boat was stained red with blood.
Then I said goodbye to Lin Jianguo and prepared to get off the boat, but before I could take a step, I heard a very abnormal noise, a very primitive drumming sound.
