After such a show just now, everyone did not dare to rush into the water, and signed up to board the ship.

"One person, two elixirs. "The boatman sits on the ground and starts the price.

"Didn't you just have one elixir for one person, how did you change into two plants?" someone asked indignantly.

"I can't help it, it's not very peaceful in this river lately, and strange things are always popping up. Every time you cross someone, it's crossing someone with your life, but it has to be more expensive. ”

"Of course, if the guest officer wants to take a cheap one, but if there is any strong wind and waves on the way and the boat is overturned, I don't care if you live or die. The boatman said with a smile.

Everyone was speechless, and finally silently chose the ticket for two elixirs and one person.

"That's right, spend a little more money, just buy an insurance, buy a peace of mind. The boatman said.

"Let's go. Su Xiao beckoned to the scalper.

"If you don't go, you won't go to death. The scalper sat on the ground, unwilling to board the boat.

In the end, he was coaxed by Su Xiao and deceived three promises, and was deceived into getting on the boat.

Su Xiao stood on the boat, paying attention to the surrounding environment. The fog ahead is getting thicker and thicker, and after a few feet of distance, it is difficult to see the surrounding scenery clearly, and it is easy to get lost without a guide.

"Moo!" the ox hid in the shiphouse, hugging a pillar and shivering there.

"Hey, what's that?"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, in the fog a hundred zhang away, there was a pair of lantern-like blood-red eyes, flashing with a cold light, with a heavy killing intent.

There is no doubt that it is a large and terrifying creature that lives in the fog and can travel through the fog zone. Now, it's eyeing the people on board.

The boatman then lit a brass lamp on the bow of the boat, which emitted a soft glow that dispelled the surrounding fog.

Strange to say, the bronze lamp was lit, the dark red eyes were closed, and the mysterious creature retreated silently, and the murderous aura disappeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should think it's worth it this time, if you cross the river, you will lose your sense of direction when you enter this fog area, not to mention, you will encounter all kinds of dangers in this fog area. The boatman said.

"Boatman, what kind of creature is that?" someone asked, feeling that the creature was very unusual, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.

"Lantern Dragon. The boatman replied.

"Lantern Dragon?" the group asked, they had never heard of such a creature.

The boatman shook his oars lightly and said, "Yes, a magical creature that only lives here. No one has ever seen it, and it is said that everyone who has seen it has died. All we know is the huge bloody eyes like red lanterns. That's why it's called the Lantern Dragon. ”

Everyone nodded, thinking that this mysterious creature must be terrifying, extremely ugly, probably with seven or eight claws, five or six fangs.

The boat continued to flutter on the river, and the brass lamp emitted a faint glow that shrouded the boat, and the lantern dragon never appeared again.

Dense fog ripples gently on the surface of the river, and almost half of the thousand-foot-wide river surface is shrouded in fog, making this place look like a sea of fog.

The crowd did not know how long or far they had traveled in this thick fog, but the fog on the river was still very thick. I only felt a cool breeze blowing, blowing ripples on the surface of the river.

Suddenly, a light came from the opposite side, and Su Xiao stared at it, but he was shrouded in a thick fog and couldn't see it really. When he got closer, until he could see clearly, his eyes were slightly startled, and he saw a flat boat floating from the opposite bank.

The boat floated in the mist, and a lantern hung on the mast of the bow of the boat.

The lantern emitted a faint glow that shrouded the boat so that it would not be lost in the fog.

At the back of the boat stood a boatman dressed in tattered clothes and wearing a hat. The boatman stood there swinging his oars slowly, heading towards Su Xiao and their small boat.

"Don't look into the boat!" reminded the boatman in a whisper, and then his mouth was shut, as if he were afraid of waking up something strange.

The people on the boat were sitting in a precarious position, although they did not know why, but since the boatman said not to look, they did not look.

The boat passed by the boat, and suddenly someone shouted, "The boat is full of treasures!"

Then the man rose from the boat, leaped onto the boat on the other side, and danced there.

"Baby!"

"All of them are treasures!"

"It's a miracle medicine!"

"Imperial soldiers!

The man shouted with dancing hands, arousing several of the people in the boat. I saw that those people also cautiously glanced at the boat opposite.

"A boatload of babies!"

"There really are imperial soldiers!"

"Miracle medicine! miracle medicine!"

With just one glance, the men rose from the boat and climbed onto the opposite boat with their hands and feet. And then laughed there.

"Rich! Rich!"

"What a lot of treasures!"

However, except for these few people, everyone else was not bewitched, and they all lowered their heads and did not look at the boat opposite. Even the scalpers, who usually love treasure like life, squatted in the stern of the boat tremblingly, not daring to raise their heads.

Moments later, the two ships separated and headed for the opposite shore.

The boatman breathed a sigh of relief and said to the crowd, "You can look up." ”

Everyone on the boat was relieved and looked at the flat boat behind them. I saw that on the boat, there were five people dancing and cheering. Pick up the "treasure" in the cabin and laugh there.

However, those so-called "treasures" turned out to be all white bones. The white bones were held in the palms of their hands, and some people even stuffed the white bones into their mouths, as if they were gnawing on the magic medicine, and the blood from the bite of their mouths was dripping.

"What is that boat, and who is the person on the boat?" someone asked.

"It's the boatman who died before and his boat. The boatman explained.

"When he died, he became a strange thing on the river, lifeless, and could only rock the boat. If someone passes by on the river, he will appear and deceive people with illusions. Seduced people to his boat, not even the monks were spared. ”

"The bones on that boat are the people he had seduced before. Those five people did not listen to the advice, and they also died innocently. The boatman said very indifferently, with no idea of saving people at all.

The rest of the people on the ship only felt a chill. Fortunately, they listened to the boatman's words and were not deceived, so they were spared.

"This is already full of crises before it reaches the Eastern District, wouldn't it be even more dangerous if you enter the Eastern District?"

"That's natural, the eastern region has always been the place with the highest mortality rate in Shenwu Ridge. Among them, there are many murderous opportunities, and if you are not careful, you will die without a place to be buried. Someone replied.

"I wasn't going to go any deeper, so I thought I'd pick some elixirs around and then retreat. "Others are cowardly.

"It's the same with me, it's too dangerous inside to go in. ”

"If there is anything to be afraid of, our monks should be indomitable and firmly believe that they are invincible, whether it is dangerous or vicious. Crises coexist with opportunities, and the more dangerous the place, the more opportunities are abundant. If you are always so cowardly and cowardly, what qualifications do you have to compete for the Great Dao, and what qualifications do you have to compete for immortality?"

"This place should be a testing ground for us to sharpen ourselves, a whetstone. ”

Su Xiao looked up and saw that this person's round face looked very high-spirited and quite a general's demeanor between his words.

"Hehe, this is all what my master taught me, don't be surprised. ”

Everyone laughed, fell silent with each other, and returned to their original calm.

And Su Xiao became interested in this person, sat beside him, and looked at him with a smile.

"Y-what are you doing?" his chubby face was full of wariness.

"My master said that when you go out, you must be careful of outsiders. What do you want to do?"

Su Xiao smiled evilly, looking at the little fat man's fleshy little face, his heart was full of joy, "Don't do anything, I want to make a friend." ”

Su Xiao stretched out his hand to him, but he didn't think that this little fat man would not give face at all, twisted his head, and said very arrogantly and funny: "My master said, don't make friends with strangers casually." ”

"Moo, little fat man, my brother looks up to you when he makes friends with you, and you are so ignorant. The scalper crawled from the back of the cabin and seemed to be fine.

"Scalper, are you okay?" asked Su Xiao with concern.

"Moo, it's okay. After the bone boat was gone, I didn't feel creepy. The scalper replied.

Su Xiao nodded, thinking, "It seems that there is something strange in that bone boat, which makes the scalper feel frightened." It's just a pity that I don't have the opportunity now, and I don't have the strength to board the bone ship to see what is going on. ”

"What do you want?" suddenly the little fat man asked curiously.

"Why do I want to tell you. Su Xiao scolded him.

"Cut, if you don't say it, I know, I must be thinking about the bone boat, but it's a pity that I don't have the strength to go up and take a look. The little fat man said what Su Xiao thought in his heart.

Su Xiao was slightly surprised, could it be that this little fat man can read minds like a little fox?

"He doesn't know how to read minds, but he has cultivated a more mysterious spell that can create a faint connection with people, with this heaven and earth, and with this avenue, so as to produce a feeling. It's like a woman's sixth sense, but it's even more powerful. The little fox explained in Su Xiao's mind.

The little fat man grinned and smiled cheaply.

Finally, the boat sailed out of the thick fog, but it was still some distance from the other side.

"The last part of the journey is the most dangerous. The little fat man muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he slapped his head, woke himself up, and said with a smile: "This is all what my master said." ”

However, Su Xiao's eyes had a hint of solemnity, and the little fox said, this little fat man has a mysterious connection with people, heaven and earth, and the Great Dao, so he must have sensed something, so he said so.

"Moo, little fat man, I think you're very rich, do you have any good things on you?" "The scalpers are back to their old ways and are knocking on the bamboos there.

"No, no, my house is surrounded by walls, alone, and there are no good things on me. The little fat man pulled his collar as he spoke, for fear that the scalper would snatch it directly.

"Don't you still have a master, how can you be alone?" Su Xiao exposed his lies and asked with a smile.

"The tutor died early, leaving me alone, and there really was no good stuff on me. The little fat man apologized in his heart, "Master, don't blame me for cursing you to die early, I have no choice but to do so." ”

"Then your master should always leave some treasures for you. Su Xiao asked.

"No, no, the tutor is also poor and white, and he can't even afford decent clothes. ”

The little fat man's vigorous explanation made the people around him not believe it. Sometimes, the more you explain, the more confusing it becomes.

"Believe me, I'm really a poor man. ”

The little fat man wanted to cry without tears.
