The river is dark.

The two candles in the chicken bone lantern flickered faintly.

After the master Taoist priest on the raft lit the yin fire of the little drought, he picked up a child puppet on the altar table.

The kid puppet was crudely made.

And there are no facial features.

The master Taoist priest took the child puppet to the chicken bone lantern at the bow of the boat and squatted down, and his fingertips were like dragonflies dipping into water, and a few drops of candle oil were dipped in water.

At this time, the candle oil had just been melted, and the temperature was still very hot, and the master Taoist priest began to draw charms on the child puppet with his fingertip candle oil.

It was an edict.

The handwriting is messy and scribbled, but the posture is sharp and sharp, revealing the majesty of Taoism.

After drawing the edict charm, the master walked calmly and smoothly on the rough river as if he were walking on the ground.

He picked up a bowl of raw rice on the altar table, buckled the two bowls up and down, and then reversed it, and the raw rice became a rice with yin and yang upside down.

Then light three incense sticks and stick them in the upside-down meal of the dead.

It is offered to the children on the altar and eaten by the puppets.

Incense rises from the meal of the dead.

But it didn't drift away with the wind.

Instead, they turned into two strands of swimming snakes, all of which were sucked by the child puppeteers.

At the moment when the three incense sticks were burned.

The master Taoist priest looked up at the moonlight.

No more, no less, just in time, the hour has come.

Raise the corpse!

Method!

Prepare for the Yinyi River to break off!

The master Taoist priest picked up the child puppet on the altar, and at this time, the candle oil edict drawn on the child puppet had cooled and dried, and the color was bright red, bright red, more bright red than cinnabar, and it was particularly dazzling.

When the master Taoist priest walked to the stone coffin again with the puppet with the edict talisman drawn, he saw in the moonlight that in the stone coffin filled with glutinous rice, the small dartfish with closed eyes with the corpse charm on its forehead actually changed, and its abdomen was bulging and swollen, as if it had just eaten the meal of a dead man.

The master Taoist priest recited words in his mouth and recited a spiritualist incantation.

"Edict!"

A low snort.

A magical scene happened, when the master Taoist priest lifted the left arm of the child puppet, the coffin was suppressed by the corpse charm and was motionless and closed his eyes, and he actually automatically raised his left arm.

When the child puppet sits cross-legged and faces the sky.

In the coffin, the little dwarf with his eyes closed was motionless with a corpse talisman on his forehead, and he also sat cross-legged and sat upright, with his heart facing the sky.

The night was dark.

Suddenly.

"Wow!"

An earth-shattering baby cry, high-pitched, harsh, unpleasant, windy.

Amazing.

Echoes were formed between the mountain walls on both sides of the riverbank, and the already deafening cry of the baby was raised a few syllables again.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The first baby cry was earth-shattering.

The second baby cries and crashes into the sky.

The third baby's cry changed, and the full moon above the head turned into a hairy moon, a natural vision.

......

Kong Cai III has lived by the Yinyi River for generations.

His ancestors were all fishermen who made a living from fishing in the river, and his ancestors' skills were passed down to his generation, and he was also a fisherman.

Although life is not rich.

It is fulfilling, too.

In this small fishing village where Kong Caisan lives, every family has been fishing for generations, and the fish from these nets are not kept for themselves, but sold to fishmongers in the city.

It can be said that Kong Caisan grew up watching the Yinyi River.

He also grew up listening to the sound of the rolling river.

Kong Cai slept in a daze for three nights, and was awakened by a soak of urine, in the dark, he opened his eyes, felt the darkness and walked out of the house, thinking of putting water in the yard to come back and continue sleeping.

Even when he went out to release the water, he didn't forget to mumble that the weather was so fucking hot.

But after Kong Cai went to the ground three times, he couldn't find his shoes, and the room was dark and rumbling, don't listen to how dark it is.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you, why do you keep listening to you moving around, and wake me up. ”

Kong Caisan's daughter-in-law complained dissatisfied.

"child, you help me find it, I can't find my shoes......"

"It's really weird, it's so dark outside today, and I can't even find my shoes in the window......"

Kong Caisan said helplessly, he was still bowing his head and bending down to find his shoes.

After the light of the lamp oil and fire in the house barely illuminated the room, Kong Caisan finally found the other right shoe that he accidentally kicked away.

Then go to the yard to put water.

"I said, why is it so dark today, it turns out that the moon is covered by dark clouds, and today is the woolly moon. ”

Kong Caisan walked into the courtyard, the whole outside was pitch black, and in the small fishing village late at night, everything was quiet, and every household was asleep.

"It's not just Mao Yue today, it's so quiet outside, I can't even hear the most lively frog calls......

Kong Caisan picked up the night pot in the corner of the courtyard and put water in it, while turning his head to look around, the courtyard was dark, and the courtyard was also deep and silent, and he couldn't see his five fingers.

The only light in the courtyard was the dim glow of the oil fire from the dim lamp in the sleeping room.

In the dead of night.

There was silence all around.

It's too quiet.

Whew-

A night breeze blew on the back of Kong Caisan's neck, Kong Caisan suddenly shivered, and urinated on his hands, legs, and shoes.

"Child, child, you, have you heard the Yinyi River... Is the river sounding?"

Kong Caisan was so anxious that he yelled at the back room.

Not long after, this small fishing village near the river was broken by a panicked scream of panic in the middle of the night.

"Oh no!"

"The river is gone!"

"The river is gone!"

The small fishing village, which was originally quiet in the middle of the night, was lit up with many lights in an instant, chickens and dogs jumped, and soon there was the sound of messy footsteps, and the men, women and children in the village held torches, all of them hurriedly ran to the river bank at the entrance of the village.

The sound of the river disappeared.

The riverbed dried up, leaving only the shallow layer of water in the very center.

The cliffs on both sides of the river, which have been submerged under the river all the year round, are exposed to the eyes of the world.

The fishing boats on the shore were all stranded in the mud and sand at this time.

Looking at this inhumane scene, the villagers panicked and frightened.

"It's the Dragon King, the Dragon King is angry, the Dragon King is going ashore!"

"The Dragon King is going ashore to marry the new water goddess!"

The old man of the village fell to his knees and wept, praying for the dragon king to calm his anger.

At this moment, the dry riverbed and the small fishing village on the river bank form an abyss drop, as if it is a moat that has been cut out by the magic axe in the world, piercing through the nine secluded yellow springs, which is unfathomable and cannot fall to the end.

Because in hell, there are eighteen floors!

......

Yinyi River big turn.

Dragon King Temple.

Dragon King Terrace.

Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at the ghostly scene in front of them, the river that was still rolling in the Nu River, in the blink of an eye, seemed to be erased by the hands of gods and demons, revealing the dry riverbed crisscrossed under the river, revealing a thousand caves that saw the light of day again.

It's incredible.

However, the interruption of the Yinyi River brought about by this small drought is not complete, and there is a significant difference from the previous two interruptions of the Yinyi River.

Because the Yinyi River was cut off this time, it was not completely dry.

Only half of the thousand caves were exposed, half were exposed, and half were still submerged in the cold river water.

But even so, it still caused huge ripples in the hearts of the world.

"Is this the Dryfish?"

"But this is just a little drought, and it's already so powerful......"

Everyone held their breath and looked solemn.

Even Jin An looked at the dry riverbed under his feet with a deep gaze, even the river can be cut off, how many such strong people are there in this world?

"Everyone!"

Du Wei secretly used his internal strength, and his voice was like a muffled thunder, pulling everyone's minds back.

"This Yinyi River broke off overnight, although it was caused by the ability of the little drought, but you don't need to look too high at the ability of the little drought, everyone has also seen that the Yinyi River is not completely broken this time. ”

"That drought, after all, is still a small drought, this Yinyi River stopped flowing overnight, not only because of the small drought, but also because of the impact of the change of the number of heaven and earth. ”

Lieutenant: This is a morale booster.

Really.

After listening to Du Wei's explanation, the faces of these folk exorcists looked better.

"General Duwei, I'm not worried about any drought or small drought fish, I'm just worried that the Yinyi River is not completely broken, and half of the Thousand Caves are still flooded, and they are not completely exposed. ”

"Even if half of the Thousand Caves are flooded, I think there are still two or three people in the water, how are we going to enter the Thousand Corpses Cave?"

The speaker was the northern man who was kicking and fighting.

The voice of the voice urn is the sound of the urn.

looks at the big personality, but in fact, there are details in the rough, and the questions that everyone is most concerned about are asked.

At this time, a country goddess said in a sharp voice, "When General Du Wei and Lord Fu Yin found us, they didn't say that they would want us to be watery, and we needed to swim all the way into this thousand corpse cave. ”

"What is the situation in this thousand corpse cave, I think General Du Wei also knows very well, under this water, is the world of those water corpses, how many living people are dead. ”

"A living person can't hold his breath for long underwater. ”

"Even if you grow up by the river all year round and can hold your breath for a stick of incense underwater, your ability will be greatly damaged. ”

"General Duwei, you ask those Dao Masters, can they cast spells underwater?"

"General Duwei, ask those monks again, how do they recite the Shakya Descending Magic Mantra underwater?"

The goddess was aggressive.

These folk exorcists either deal with evil spirits all year round, or deal with all kinds of corpses all year round.

To put it mildly, they have been in contact with the dead for longer than the living.

Therefore, one has an odd temper than the other.

Obedient personality.

Especially with his own skills, this character is inevitably arrogant and arrogant, even in the face of court officials, he is not polite at all.

In the face of the collision of the country goddess in front of him, General Du Wei was not angry, his eyes were contemplative: "This is indeed our inconsiderate thinking. ”

"We didn't expect that the Yinyi River would not be completely broken. ”

"But I have prepared so much tonight, if I want to waste all my efforts, it will be too great a loss to the imperial court. ”

Du Wei pondered: "These small accidents are not difficult to solve, I can order the defenders to build a raft for you overnight using local materials, which will not take much time." ”

"And walking on the waterway is faster and more labor-saving, which is more time-saving and labor-saving than the physical strength and time consumed by walking on the road. I guess you don't want to walk in a cave for a day and a night, do you?"

Captain's words really touched everyone.

The matter of building a raft and using the waterway to enter a thousand caves was decided.

Then, General Du Wei began to order his soldiers and villagers to cut down and build rafts in full swing.

Fortunately, there is nothing lacking in this mountain, but the most important thing is the inexhaustible forest trees.

More people is better work.

The raft and the temporary dock were quickly built.

Everyone walked down the Dragon King Terrace and entered the temporary dock.

"Huh, General Duwei, that Taoist master who can drive the little drought, won't he go down into the Thousand Corpses Cave with us?" someone asked curiously.

In the center of the Yinyi River, where the river is depleted, there is also a layer of shallow river water, carrying a raft of stone coffins, floating quietly and motionlessly in the center of the Yinyi River.

The master Taoist priest, holding a puppet with only an edict spell in his hand, sat on the stone coffin and closed his eyes to recuperate, and did not mean to come over to say hello.

Such as a worldly master, clear, lonely, ignorant of the outside world.

The stone coffin containing the small drought fish has been resealed at this time, and the four yellow talismans have been re-pasted.

Only the chicken bone lantern hanging on the bow of the boat was still lit by two candles.

A wisp of yang fire that belongs to that Taoist master.

A wisp is a yin fire that belongs to the small drought.

Du Wei smiled and said: "The little drought fish needs someone to watch all the time, there can be no relaxation, we wait for the thousand caves to come out, whether the Yinyi River will rise back in advance, and it is all up to the senior to suppress the little drought fish for us." ”

The old man who carried the corpse on his back smoked the dry cigarette in his hand, looked at the stone coffin on the raft, subconsciously touched the small black coffin he had been carrying, and laughed strangely with fiery eyes: "Actually, the old man, I can also help take care of the little drought on behalf of Lord Yin and General Duwei." ”

"Like chasing corpses, we have to be the most expert in carrying corpses, old man, I don't mind helping the two adults to drive out the corpses and cut off the Yinyi River. ”

The lieutenant smiled but did not say a word.

No response.

The corpse bearer was still staring at the Jiangxin raft with fiery eyes, reluctant to give up.

"General Duwei, this Taoist master is a senior from the capital Yujing Jinque? I wonder if General Duwei can introduce you to this senior from the capital?" At this time, another Taoist priest stood up and asked Du Wei curiously.

Jin An recognized him.

This is the master from the Zhenyuan Taoist Temple, and the Taoist name is "Cangxuan Daoist".

"Not really. The lieutenant said with a brief smile.

Then he went back to the plan to enter the Thousand Caves: "Now the plan has changed, and the only way to enter the Thousand Caves is with the help of a raft, and considering the narrow space in the Thousand Caves, the raft cannot be built too big, and a raft can sit two or three people." All of you here, have you figured out how to enter the Thousand Caves?"

"Is it one person on a raft, or is it a group of people?" I propose a group of people, so that there will be a good response on the way. ”

After a moment of buzzing discussion, the results were quickly available.

In fact.

Among the people present, there were three Taoist temples and six monasteries, basically one temple or one temple just enough for the number of people on a raft.

Jin An, the old Taoist priest, and the sword sharpening three, a raft.

The abbot of the White Dragon Temple, the monk Kongming, the monk Hongzhao, a raft.

Zhenyuan Taoist Temple, two Taoist priests, a raft.

Two Taoist priests of Mingyue Taoist Temple, a raft.

Two monks of Nanxi Temple, a raft.

......

Only those folk goddesses, Mr. Yin and Yang, inquirers, corpse bearers... They are more troublesome.

"Hey, what rafts are not rafts, these foreign objects, I can't believe the old man. I only believe in myself, good boy, whether I can break through the Thousand Corpses Cave this time, Dad, depends on you. You don't want your dad and me to lose face in front of so many outsiders. ”

The ugly-faced corpse bearer patted the black coffin he was carrying.

Boom.

A response came from the black coffin.

It's as if it's a coffin with a living mouth.

"Our brothers... Woo... Accustomed to working together... Woo... I can't accommodate anyone else... Woohehehehe......"

This time it was the two mourning brothers in white robes and black robes who spoke, one of these two brothers seemed to be crying rather than laughing, and the other was laughing rather than crying, and their tone of speech was strange, like a whining cry.
