The black smoke that surrounded the ship, and the cries seemed to be in the black smoke, and now the voices were even closer, sharp and piercing.

Then, the black smoke gradually distorted into human faces, all of which were distorted and horrified, and hated the people on board.

"Give me my life! Give me my life! ”

The faces of the black smoke turned into black smoke and shouted incessantly at the ship, as if they were asking for someone's life.

At this time, the wind on the river became more and more violent, and the boat was shaken to a wobble point, and the waves set off against the boat could overturn the boat at any moment.

"Can Cao Gong recognize these souls?"

In the face of the rough seas on the river, the boatman did not seem to panic, as if what was happening here had nothing to do with him.

Cao Cao barely fell down by holding on to the guardrail of the boat, and when he heard the boatman's question, he replied: "I have lived with them all my life, of course I don't know them!" ”

The boatman smiled strangely: "Yes, but they all know Cao Gong." ”

Cao Cao was surprised: "How is this possible? ”

The boatman said: "Does Cao Gong remember the people of Xuzhou who were killed? ”

As soon as the boatman said this, Cao Cao was dumbfounded.

The boatman continued: "These undead are the people who were killed by Cao Gong's army, and their bodies were discarded in Surabaya, and their grievances could not be eliminated, so they all gathered here. ”

After Cao Cao knew the reason, he looked up to the sky and sighed, when he ordered the slaughter of the people of Xuzhou, he was actually controlled by gluttony, and he was indignant, and he couldn't do it himself, but in any case, so many people of Xuzhou died because of him, and he blamed himself in his heart, so he said loudly to the undead in the black mist: "All the people died because of my Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde is deeply guilty, and he can only apologize for his sins with death!" ”

With that, Cao Cao was about to jump into the raging river.

"Slow down!"

At this moment, Guo Jia stretched out his hand and grabbed Cao Cao.

Guo Jia persuaded: "How can the lord be so suicidal? You must know that hundreds of thousands of people died in the war in Xuzhou, even if it is the Lord

Thousands of deaths can't pay back the lives of these people! ”

Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao's face even paler, and Cao Cao's heart was as confused as he asked, "If even death is not enough to apologize, then what should I do?" ”

"Live, of course!"

Guo Jia shouted, shocking Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked in disbelief, "Live?" I am so sinful, how can I still have the face to live? ”

Guo Jia said loudly: "How easy is it to want to die? Close your eyes, jump into the body, at most a moment of pain, there will be nothing, but to live is to endure a lot of suffering and pain, and it is precisely because we have made irreparable mistakes that we must live bravely and use our efforts to make up for these mistakes! ”

Guo Jia's words woke up Cao Cao, and Cao Cao said with deep feelings: "Yes, how easy it is to die, after death, there will be no worries, but the living must shoulder the responsibility of living and strive for ideals and careers." ”

After figuring out this truth, Cao Cao swept away the original haze and said loudly to the undead around him: "Everyone, I, Cao Mengde, owe each of you my life, but I can't die yet, because I have unfinished business to do, that is, to calm this war-torn world and return peace to the world. ”

Cao Cao said very sincerely, but the undead around him did not buy his account, and still made waves on the river, and it seemed that before long, the boat would have to sink into the river.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the boatman grinned and said: "Everyone in the world calls Cao Mengde cunning, and when I see it today, who can predict what will happen after death, not to mention who knows if you will regret it after a long time?" ”

Cao Cao said solemnly: "I, Cao Mengde, will do what I say, no matter how many years later, I will never regret what I promised!" ”

The boatman was still smiling strangely, and he said, "It's useless for you to tell me so sincerely, the main thing is that they don't believe me." ”

The boatman said, gesturing to the undead around him.

I saw that there were more and more undead in the black mist, and they were getting closer and closer to the ship, if it weren't for the fact that there was a light shining on the bow of the ship, they might be

The boat has long been overturned.

But even if they couldn't get on the boat, the boat wouldn't last long.

Seeing that the boat was crumbling, Guo Jia was still able to remain calm, as Fan Li mentioned, although his younger brother usually occasionally makes foolishness, but the more critical the moment, the more focused his spirit is, which can often stimulate shocking potential, and now at the critical juncture, Guo Jia's thoughts are becoming clearer and clearer, time seems to be slowing down, he can think about many things in this short time, but in fact, it is not that time has become slow, but that his brain's reaction has become faster, A moment in the eyes of others, at this time, in his feelings, there was a cup of tea for so long.

"Boatman, please tell me how to dispel these spirits."

Guo Jia suddenly said a word to the boatman at this time.

The boatman turned sideways slightly, as if to observe this young man, although he is the younger brother of the god Fan Li, but at this time when he went down to the mortal world, he is just a mortal, and there is no mana, if there is anything special, that is, he has an extraordinary observation and a non-negligible intelligence and courage, which is very similar to his eldest brother Fan Li.

Seeing that Guo Jia opened his mouth to ask him, the boatman replied: "It's not that there is no way, but there is a price." ”

Cao Cao heard that things had taken a turn for the better, so he hurriedly asked: "Please say it quickly, I can promise you any price!" ”

Cao Cao felt that so far, as long as he could save his life, everything else was easy to discuss.

The boatman grinned and said, "Don't promise so early, listen to me first." ”

Cao Cao was a little anxious in his heart, it was now this time, but the boatman was still speaking so slowly and logically, as if the boat capsized had nothing to do with him.

The boatman continued: "The way to drive away these spirits is simple, if one of you goes to the bow of the boat, takes the oil lamp, and holds it high, and the light will drive away the things that stand in your way. ”

Cao Cao didn't expect the method to be so simple, seeing that the ship would capsize at any time, he couldn't wait to think of the bow lamp.

But Guo Jia had already guessed that things would never be so easy, so when the boatman told them the method, Guo Jia asked, "What is the price?" ”
