Along the way, the servants in the front yard, the rough maid and the old mother saw Gui Ling'er coming, and they all hurriedly stepped aside to salute, but when they saw Yang Xianmao and the three of them walking together, they were a little surprised. And Gui Ling'er and her master looked like they were virtuous, their eyes did not squint, they held a whisk in their arms, and their feet fluttered, like flowing clouds and water, which was indeed awe-inspiring.

They came out of the gate of the house and came out into the street, and Yang Xianmao asked, "Where are we going?"

Gui Ling'er smiled and whispered in his ear: "You forgot what I said to verify whether the Heaven Opening Eye Dao method taught by my master is true, so we have to find a place where there are ghosts to see, whether this spell is spiritual?"

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I told you, how can anyone see ghosts in broad daylight, ghosts will only come out after sunset." ”

Gui Ling'er smiled mysteriously and said, "You come with me, I have a place where you can see ghosts, because that place is also dark in the daytime, don't you say that there are ghosts in the night? There must be ghosts there, follow me." ”

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and looked at her and said: "There are ghosts in the dark in broad daylight, what kind of place is this? Let me tell you, don't find me a hundred-year-old mansion or something, if there are no dead people buried in those places, there will be no ghosts coming out." ”

"It's not an old house. ”

"Neither can the haunted house. The vast majority of those ghost houses are chasing after the wind and shadows, and the people are scary, not really haunted, but how can any ghosts stay in the courtyard and be honest? They have all gone to the underworld to be reincarnated, who has time to stay in that scary person? The underworld will not sit idly by, and they can't leave the ghosts outside to run around and let them be scary, isn't that their dereliction of duty?"

Gui Ling'er shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't guess first, come with me, I'll guarantee that you will also think that there are ghosts in that place, go quickly." ”

Yang Xianmao didn't ask much, followed her all the way, and saw that the direction she was walking was actually towards the dock outside the city.

There is a Yinshui River in Yinzhou, with almost a cliff on one side and a barren beach on the other. The water is very deep, and every year some children drown in the river, although people drown every year, but every year there are still many people who go there to swim in the summer, after all, the summer weather is too hot, and it is very comfortable to take a dip in the cool river.

Everyone has a fluke mentality, and always thinks that it will not be them who drown, so when they come to the river, they see adults and children bathing and swimming by the river. There are also people washing clothes and vegetables by the wharf, and the fishing boats at this wharf are much smaller than other wharves, with only a dozen boats, scattered and floating on the river, some of them are transporting passengers, and some are ordering.

Gui Ling'er took Yang Xianmao and them to a boat by the dock, and beckoned the boat boss and said, "Go to Guitian Cliff, do you want to go?"

When the captain of the boat heard this, he was startled, looked at them cautiously, and said, "What are you doing at Guitian Cliff? I only carry passengers, and I won't carry anything else." ”

"Nonsense, do you see there's something behind us? Just a few of us, send us there, stop and wait for us, and then come back before dark, and give you five taels of silver, okay?"

This trip can earn five taels of silver, the boat boss's eyes suddenly lit up, he originally expected to be able to give one or two silver and thank you, not to mention giving five times the price, at first glance is a generous lord, quickly nodded and said: "Hahaha, then thank you for taking care of it, a few masters, please get on the boat, let's go." ”

Gui Ling'er took out a small ingot of silver and threw it to the boat boss, stepped on the pedal, and rushed to the boat first, ignoring the master behind him.

He Shitai followed behind him with a gloomy face and also got on the boat, and Yang Xianmao and Liu Dongyan also got on the boat behind Shitai. After getting on the boat, Gui Ling'er urged the boat boss in a loud voice: "Hurry up, hurry up, we're in a hurry, hurry up on the road, how many of you are there?"

The captain of the boat hurriedly smiled and said: "Including the old man, as well as the two sons of the old man, a total of three people, don't worry, our ship is fast, this time it will go down the river, and it won't take an hour to arrive." ”

"Then let's go, what are you doing? Pick up the sails, and quickly stretch the boat out, what are you rowing? What are you doing stupidly?"

Gui Ling'er gave orders one after another, pointing fingers at the two sons of the ship boss.

The two young men saw that although Gui Ling'er was wearing a Taoist robe, she looked like the beauty in the painting, and she was already so nervous that her face was swollen and red and at a loss.

However, the sails were pulled up and the pennies were propped up, but they found that the boat had not moved, and then they remembered that the ship's cable had not been untied in a panic.

The captain glared at his son and his two sons angrily and said, "What a panic, look at your little bit of interest." Then he jumped up to the dock and untied the cable. Then he jumped on the bow of the boat, and his son hurriedly stretched his penny, and the boat sailed out of the dock like a sharp arrow, and rowed quickly downstream along the Yinshui River.

Yang Xianmao has been staying in Guijiazhuang since he came to Yinzhou City, he has not come out, and he has never been to the Yinshui River, and now he is sitting on the boat, looking at the water of the Yinshui River, and muttering a little in his heart. Because this river is not like other rivers, the water is quiet and quiet, and this river is dark cyan, because the water is so deep that you can't see the bottom of the river, it shows a strange dark cyan, and the further down you go, the darker this color becomes, so deep that it turns black.

It was as if they were drifting on a black river in the underworld, and in the vicinity of the wharf, they could see a group of people swimming, bathing, and washing clothes, but after walking down for a while, there was no one to see by the river, and no one was swimming in the river, and the people gradually thinned out, and finally they were out of sight, leaving only a steep cliff on one side, and a beach overgrown with wild grass and deep woods on the other.

There were no boats on the river, only them, sliding forward on the black surface. Liu Dongyan subconsciously approached Yang Xianmao and said in a low voice: "I always feel that this place is gloomy, such a big sun, such a hot day, so many people swimming on the dock before, but there is no one here, and the sun is still cold, what the hell is this place?"

Yang Xianmao glared at him and said, "Since you all know that this is a cool place, and you still say ghosts, ghosts, aren't you afraid that a ghost will really come out and drag you into the water?"

Liu Dongyan screamed in fright, hugged Yang Xianmao's arm, and looked around nervously, Yang Xianmao was originally about to joke, seeing that she was really scared, it seems that women are afraid of ghosts and black, it is true, even in the blue sky and daylight, she is also timid, so she reached out and patted the back of her hand, and said: "Don't worry, there is no ghost in the blue sky and daytime, but the water here is very deep, and there are no people, naturally no one will swim here, we are on the river, of course, it can't be too hot." ”

Hearing their master and servant talking, Gui Ling'er, who was sitting in front, grinned, turned around, winked at Yang Xianmao and said, "Dao Chief, your explanation is not right, this place is so gloomy, it is because this place is a passage to the underworld, and the yin qi here is very strong, of course, it feels eerie and terrifying, but I don't care, my master's Taoism is profound, and the demons and monsters don't want to get close to us, right?"

Master He hummed very deeply, shook the dust in his hand, and hugged it in his arms and said: "That's natural, the poor nun has subdued demons countless times in his life, and the evil demons have never escaped under my hands, they don't come to fall, if they want to show up, let it come and go." ”

Liu Dongyan was a little nervous and said, "But my brother said, how can there be ghosts in this blue sky and white day, don't you be scary, okay? This water looks so scary." What the hell do you want, and say that this is a passage to the underworld, if that's the case, then don't we have to go back? Okay, okay, don't be scared, please. ”

Gui Ling'er said hesitantly: "I'm really not scaring you, this river is called Yinshui River, it really leads to the underworld, you will know in a while." We'll go to the door to Hades and look at the ghosts, and then try my Celestial Eye, and I'm going to catch a few ghosts. ”

Gui Ling'er said gloomily, which scared Liu Dongyan into a scream and hugged Yang Xianmao's arm.

Although she knows martial arts, but being afraid of ghosts and martial arts are two different things, martial arts are used to deal with people, and ghosts don't eat this set, no matter how high the martial arts are, she can't catch ghosts, and she can't help ghosts, she can only be obediently bullied by ghosts, of course she knows, so she is scared, mainly because the surroundings are deep, and the weird environment makes her feel scared.

Gui Ling'er saw that Liu Dongyan was really frightened and pitiful, so she grinned, stopped talking, turned her head over, looked ahead, and hummed a little song.

Yang Xianmao patted Liu Dongyan's hand lightly and said, "Don't worry, she is teasing you, this water is the river water, how can there be any Yin River in the underworld." Reach into the river, it must be very comfortable on this hot day. ”

With that, Yang Xianmao reached out into the river outside the boat.

When his hand inserted into the river and paddled the waves, Yang Xianmao's heart chuckled, because he felt that the water was particularly cold, even piercing, you must know that Yang Xianmao's body has been tempered countless times, and the general cold is completely out of his mind, which can make him feel the piercing, which shows how cold the river is, but there are no snow-capped mountains around, and it cannot be the melting snow of the snow-capped mountains.

And just now when they drifted down, there were many children and adults swimming in the river on the dock, since people can swim, it means that the water temperature is acceptable to the human body, and the river water that ordinary people can accept, but here it becomes biting.

If you don't swim in such a river, you will freeze if you don't have half a cup of tea. Yang Xianmao can be sure, because he has tried the ice water in the Arctic cold land, and knows how cold the ice water there is, and the cold of the water in this Yinshui River is almost no less than the ice sea under the ice layer of the extreme Arctic cold.
