The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 332 Dolma Cuo
After Fatty Ma finished speaking, the young man didn't answer, but squatted down, half-kneeled on the ice, rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, and put his hand into the water, as if he was groping for something.We got along with Suggestion Box for five days, but we still don't even know the name of this person.He has a strange personality, not a vicious person, but he always feels that he lacks aura, but he doesn't have that ghostly feeling. If he has to describe it, he is a bit unearthly.

The man squatted down and touched for a while, then pulled out something from the lake. I took a closer look, but it was a black rope, one end seemed to be nailed to the ice wall, and the other end was still in the water.The man slowly lifted the rope up from the water and retracted it. Following his movement, a black boat was pulled straight over behind the ice wall not far away.

Estelle jumped up excitedly: "There is a boat!"

The boat was not big, it was a lone boat with a pitch-black hull, which was very eye-catching on the icy blue lake, and a rope was tied to the bow.At this moment, the rope was stretched straight, and was slowly pulled to the shore by the young man. The side of the boat hit the ice layer with a bang, and it shook a few times before stopping.

This boat is very simple and the material is very hard, unlike ordinary wood.The hull is extremely smooth and has obviously been aged for some time.In the whole boat, there is only one pole for rowing, and nothing else.The man boarded the boat first and motioned for us to follow.

Six people packed the boat very tightly, and the person at the stern rowed the boat very rhythmically.

"It's so beautiful." Standing at the bow of the boat, Estelle sighed with her arms outstretched.Immediately afterwards, as if thinking of something, he asked excitedly: "You just said that people who are destined can see the goddess in the water. Have you seen it? How can there be people in the water?"

The young man said lightly: "You can look under the water. If you can see it, it's luck. If you can't see it, it's luck."

Is it luck not to see?What's the meaning?Is it bad to see the goddess in the lake?Thinking of this, I asked.That man probably received a piece of grace from me, so he was really kind to me. When I asked, he shook his head slightly and said, "It's a disaster, not a good thing. Those who see it will die."

I asked the same question as Estelle: "Have you seen it?"

He was silent for a moment, and said, "I've seen it once from a distance."

I don't think this person is like a liar, so I couldn't help being very surprised, and I thought, is there a mermaid in this water?Mermaids living in this kind of place are afraid of being frozen to death, right?

"What does the goddess look like?"

He said: "He has a human head and a snake body, he likes to swallow human heads, and his face changes easily."

Fatty Ma only said two words: "Bullshit."

But Zhou Xuanye was surprised and said: "A snake with a human head, likes to swallow human heads but has a fickle face, isn't that a beautiful snake?"

The beautiful snake mentioned by Zhou Xuanye is a widely circulated folk story. It is said that the beautiful snake has a human head and a snake body. It likes to eat human heads, and its face can change at will.In ancient times, women seldom went out, and seldom walked alone at night. They lived in secluded homes for a long time, and there were door gods and other guards at home, so beautiful snakes generally could not harm women.

Most of the time, it turns into the head of a beautiful woman at night, and pokes its head out from behind the tree quietly.When a man walking at night saw it, he would think it was a beautiful woman hiding behind a tree, but when he went over to take a look, he found that there was no neck under the head, only a thick snake body, and he was scared to death.

The beauty snake is very fast, and often opens its bloody mouth without waiting for anyone to escape. Its beautiful face is completely changed, and it directly swallows the human head.Occasionally, when a woman meets, the beautiful snake will change into a handsome man.But women in ancient times were very strict in this aspect. When they saw a handsome man, they just blushed, and they didn't dare to look too much, so they walked away quickly.

Seeing that the beautiful snake can't transform into a man, it will often turn into a child's head again. When a woman sees a cute little elf smiling at her hiding behind a tree, she can't help but walk over it, and she will also lose her life.Therefore, the beauty snake is also called 'head-swallowing snake'.

The appearance of the goddess of the lake described by the young man was astonishingly the same as the beautiful snake in folklore. I was shocked and asked, "Could it be that there are still snakes that swallow heads in this lake?" Let alone whether there is such a thing. Even if there is a thing, it should live on the shore. How could it be in this holy lake?

This place is called Goddess Lake. Could it be that the Goddess mentioned refers to the head-swallowing snake?
Thinking of this possibility, I felt a chill all over my body.

But at this time, the young man nodded after hearing Zhou Xuanye's words. Estelle said: "It's terrible, scarier than vampires."

Fatty Ma is a master who does not believe in evil. He said that if a beautiful snake dared to come out, he would twist her head off and use it as a stool.I said how awesome you are now, who was beaten into a pig's head by the surname Yang.Fatty Ma couldn't hold back his face, and said: "One is a human, the other is a snake, can they be compared? This human is much more terrifying than some beautiful snake. How do you say that? One thing falls one thing, no matter how powerful a monster is." , there are capable people and strangers who can clean up, but if someone is powerful, who will clean up? If it were you, you would have to be beaten."

Speaking of which, I thought of Yang Ming.Fatty Ma took a bag of expired food from the young man, and the young man would chase after him and ask for it. Then, Yang Ming destroyed a fire lotus at that time, did the young man know it?Thinking of this, I tentatively asked: "That..." As soon as I opened my mouth, I found that I didn't know the other person's name, and it was really awkward to speak, so I tentatively asked: "Brother, you should know my name ,what's your name?"

He said, "I don't have a name."

How can a person not have a name?Judging by his expression, he clearly didn't want to say it, but he thought of such a bad excuse.But being willing to find an excuse to deal with me is quite a face, because the past few days of getting along with him has made me understand some of this person's temper. He doesn't answer questions that he doesn't want to answer at all. , is still quite scary.

Although we haven't seen this person make a real move, just by his aura, we can be sure that this person is difficult to deal with.

So I didn't expose his lie, and changed the subject: "Have you ever met a bearded man? He stole a fire lotus from you."

The person who had been expressionless on this topic suddenly frowned, and only heard him say: "That is the only mature fire lotus, and he ruined it."

It seems that our previous guess was correct. He lives in the igloo, and he should be guarding those fire lotuses.

"Those fire lotuses are from your little Fusang people?"

He said: "I planted it." These three words indicate the right of ownership. Planting fire lotus has nothing to do with the little Fusang, it is his personal behavior.

I choked, touched my nose, and said, "How did you deal with that person?"

He didn't say a word, and began to concentrate on rowing, obviously not intending to answer this question.Helpless, I tried to change the subject again: "You have been living in the snow-capped mountains?"

He hummed.

"Where did you get your food and guns? Will you go down the mountain too?"

He glanced at me, and finally looked ahead, while rowing, he said: "I picked it up, there are many people who have met you with a glance..." Although he didn't finish speaking, I guessed the follow-up.In recent years, more and more people like adventure travel, and they all like to go to no-man's land, and naturally there are many accidents.He probably picked up those guns and food from the victims.

Just when I thought he would not open his mouth, he suddenly said: "I went down the mountain once."

This piqued my interest: "When? How long have you been down the mountain?"

"A few years ago." He pursed his lips, and added: "I went to a place where many people lived, and life outside the mountains was very difficult."

If I didn't know that this young man can't joke, I almost thought he was teasing us?Is it difficult to survive in the snow-capped mountains in this uninhabited land, or is it difficult to survive outside the mountains?Fatty Ma was also obviously puzzled. He said, "Why, why is it so difficult? Why do I think we can't understand what you are saying?"

The young man glanced at Fatty Ma, ignored him, and said calmly: "Without money, I can't get food."

Tan Ren: "..."

Zhou Xuanye: "..."

Fatty Ma: "..."

Estelle was the only one who spoke: "Ah, so that's the case, don't you know anything about the world outside the mountain? Of course money is needed outside. Because you don't have money, so you didn't go down the mountain again?"

He hummed again, and said to me again: "I don't understand."

I didn't understand what he meant: "What don't you understand?"

There was still no expression on his face, and he said calmly: "It's a long road, a moving iron box, a lot of voices..." At this moment, I suddenly understood the situation of this person.He knows almost nothing about the world beyond the snow-capped mountains!
A few years ago, he went down the mountain alone, facing the unprecedented world outside the mountain, he must have been terrified.A moving iron box?Isn't that a car?many voices?Probably something like a TV or stereo.I immediately realized that this person was probably not eccentric, but simply didn't know how to deal with people.

I tried: "What do you usually do in the snow mountain? What do you play when you are bored?"

The man frowned, and I immediately realized that he didn't like this topic, so I stopped asking immediately, but this conversation gave me a better understanding of the situation in front of me. The people here are all isolated and natural fools!This person has a communication barrier. He doesn't know how to communicate with people at all, which is why he is so weird.On this point, the gap between Xiao Fusang and Yumen is still quite large. People in Yumen know how to keep pace with the times and set up the Sichen Hall, while the people in Xiao Fusang are just like others. do not know?

I suddenly looked forward to it. I don’t know what kind of world is on the opposite side of Tara Lake?
