Chapter 458 Twenty-Two Statues

The moment the thing was taken out, the bag sank into the bottom of the water, and I saw that I held a "statuary" in my head and held it high.

The statue is very strange. It has a human body, a frog face, with its left eye tightly closed and its right eye wide open, as if its eyeballs were about to protrude, its whole body was gilded, and there seemed to be a word engraved on its forehead. I couldn't see clearly what it was, and the statue stood on a conical base.

The moment the statue raised its head over its head, the right eye of the statue blew, and a "yellow flame" instantly ignited.

When it was spontaneously ignited when it encountered water, I saw it really, accompanied by a small amount of white smoke, and it really caught fire under the water!

And the moment the statue's right eye caught fire, the terrifying ghosts around instantly retreated like a tide, and even the echo duck avoided it.

Taking advantage of this gap, Douyazai protected her head and ran out. I pulled Xiaoxuan's hand and ran out. Our gas cylinder was very small. Seeing that the outlet was close to him, the small bag hanging around Douyazai's waist suddenly fell off.

Douyazai did not hesitate, and he immediately dived to retrieve the bag.

Because there were most of the bags of gold jewelry, for some reason, I thought my head was a little painful, and after only two minutes, the flame in the statue's right eye showed signs of weakening.

After catching the small bag containing the goldware, Douyazi swam back as fast as possible.

At this time, I was frightened to see that behind Douyazai, countless watermelons were densely rushing towards him like a fishing net.

Douyazai looked back and saw his eyes showing horror and he was struggling to travel!

Xiaoxuan wanted to go and answer, but she was pushed out her head.

Douyazi met me and stood up.

I looked back at me.

Without opening my mouth, I instantly understood the meaning of the head.

The eyes of the head seemed to be giving orders to me.

I usually listen to him, but I won't!

I swam quickly to the front of my head and took the statue with him.

The moment I touched this statue, I realized why the expression on my head was not right, because it was very hot and very hot, just like holding a piece of red iron.

At this critical moment, the resurrection duck, who had just been scared away by the statue, appeared again. Its wings were tightened and its long neck was stretched straight, like a javelin, rushing underwater.

The tide-like watermelon was attracted by the attention, and the echo ducks were surrounded layer by layer. At this time, we quickly took off.

I didn't dare to stay. After seeing the guide rope, we didn't care about what we said before, but instead used the fastest speed to float up, and finally surfaced before the gas cylinder was consumed.

I quickly took off my mouth and exhale my mouth. I felt like I had exploded in my lungs, which was very uncomfortable.

Douyazai's situation was not much better. He wiped his face and gasped and scolded: "I'm fucking, I almost gave my life here."

We left the pool and sat on the cold ground, still feeling shocked.

Xiaoxuan suddenly exclaimed: "Put your head! Your hand!"

"It's not a problem, it's just a little burned." He said.

My hands were also burned, but my head was not severe. At this time, the flames in the eyes of this strange statue had completely extinguished.

I touched it, and there was still a residual heat. You should know that the water temperature here is very low. What's more peculiar is that I smelled an unpleasant smell from the statue, which I couldn't smell under the water, and it smelled very clearly from the beginning.

With the diving light, I looked at the statue again.

Human body, frog face, one eye closed and one eye open, I also saw the word on my forehead clearly, it was obviously a word "门".

I have been through countless statues of various types. I have never heard of such strange-shaped statues before, so I have never heard of them. This involves my blind spot.

"Put your head, what kind of statue is this? Why can it catch a fire under the water?" I asked.

Xiaoxuan was still seriously helping her head with scalds, and said in a deep voice: "Yunfeng, it's normal that you don't know. This is a unique thing in the Southern School. It is a secret thing that is difficult for outsiders to see. Some pots from the Southern School will burn incense and worship them whenever they go out to the sea. This statue is called the Mon-Mu Xiaoren, and it is their guardian under the water. I also borrowed it temporarily after a while."

"I have never heard of it. I don't look like a human being, no matter how hard I look at it, this statue doesn't look like a human."

After explaining my head, I understood it.

According to the words of the head, this is a real thing.

A long time ago, a man had almost a statue when he was born. It was said that he was a child born by a water ghost and an ordinary woman. This man had a foul smell and could not remove the smell no matter how he washed it. He was regarded as a freak since he was a child, despised by his family, and excluded by the villagers. So he went to make a living alone when he was very young. Later, by chance, this man joined the Southern School. What's amazing is that no matter how fierce the sea wreck or how dangerous the water cave, as long as he goes down, everything will be safe. Later, he was regarded as a patron saint by the people of the Southern School. Legend has it that the ashes left by this man after his death can restrain the evil underwater, so his ashes were made into twenty-two gilded statues by later generations.

As for why the character "六" is engraved on the forehead of the statue.

I can't explain the specific reason even if I can't explain it clearly. Some people say it was because a long time ago, the person with a frog face was called "Liu Xiao" in his lifetime, and some people say that he was called "Wang Xiao". In short, it means it is related to his name. This strange gilded statue can be regarded as the underwater patron saint of the Southern School, or it can be regarded as the ancestor of the Southern School.

Until today, if you ask some old fishermen in coastal areas what to do if they encounter water ghosts, those old fishermen will say: "Close one eye quickly! Use your hand to spit! Don't be afraid to write the word "hum" on the bow of the boat."

At this time, Xiaoxuan asked, "Put your head, is this statue made of the ashes of that weird man?"

He immediately said, "Xiaoxuan, speak more respectfully. This is the ancestor of the Southern School. It saved all of us. It is not a weird person."

Xiaoxuan immediately changed her words, bowed to the statue, and said sorry.

I picked up the statue again and looked at it.

I feel very heavy when I hold it underwater, but now I feel not very heavy, or even lighter.

"Did you use the clamping process to make the head? The mud layer in the middle is mixed with the man's ashes, and the outside of the mud layer is waterproof, and finally the whole gold is brushed."

He said kindness to his head.

I also learned from Xiaoxuan and worshipped the statue. I had been guessing what was in the bag of the head before. I really didn't expect that such a statue would be something that the Southern School regarded as a treasure, and it was something they had for dinner. It was no longer a matter of simple face. There was basically no possibility of cooperation between the Southern School and the Northern School. I guess the head might have used something for exchange.

Xiaoxuan asked again: "Put your head, the person who delivered the air bottle to us that night was the one who lent us this statue?"

He nodded: "Yes, he is not convenient for him to show up yet. The other party did not contact me as a Nanpai. Yunfeng, do you know who that corpse is?"

I was nervous.

I thought Jacko was talking about the wax corpse under the water. I was not sure if it was Brother Zhang. Could it be... Jacko already knows my secret?

Unexpectedly, the next sentence in my head dispelled my doubts.

He frowned and said, "The body behind the wall, the owner of the water compass, and the Nanpai branch pot, he is not an unknown person."

He looked at me and said, "His real name is Jie Yuanqi. He was called Jie Qianjiao back then, and he has been missing for many years."

He pointed his head at the statue and continued, "And the person who lends us this thing is his descendant."

Douyazai scratched his head hard and asked suspiciously: "Put your head, why do this statue of the Southern School catches fire? Also, what's the matter with those crabs? Are there a lot of crabs in those ghosts? I shouldn't have seen it?"

Xiaoxuan immediately said you read it right! I saw it too...that's a lot of crabs.

What Douyazai asked was what I was desperately trying to know.

Suddenly, I thought of what the fat sister from the farmhouse said to me two days ago.
