"Boatman, how far is it from the shore?" Xia Qing asked.

In the blink of an eye, the water was knee-high, and the canopy began to sink at an accelerated rate.

The skeleton boatman did not answer, and was still rowing slowly, with a wicked smile on his face. What's even more terrifying is that it was originally just a skeleton, and after the canopy boat entered the water, blood and flesh grew wherever the water spread. After coming out of the water, it was a skeleton, and when it sank into the water, it turned into flesh and blood! The sandalwood inserted in the incense burner burned faster, like a reminder that Xia Qing's death was getting closer and closer. This river can't even float a dead branch, and once it sinks into the water, all the great supernatural powers are certain to die!

Xia Qing became even more nervous, and urged loudly, "Hurry, boatman, hurry up!"

The only thing that answered Xia Qing was a silent evil smile, the skeleton boatman was still slow, the water spread to the thighs, the upper body was a skeleton, and the lower body was flesh and blood, which was indescribably weird.

Xia Qing's heart was pounding, and he hadn't been so weird and nervous when he explored the Linglong Immortal Palace. A gust of wind suddenly blew and extinguished the torch in his hand, and suddenly it was pitch black. The yin wind gusted, and there were faint clusters of ghost fires floating in the distance, and the rare ghost crying wolf howl came, as if it had come to the netherworld.

Xia Qing sweated on his forehead, and hurriedly took out a piece of rhinoceros horn from the Qiankun ring. In Wuzhou, this is the best fuel, and it is rumored to be not afraid of strong winds and can ward off evil spirits. After lighting it with a flint, Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment, when he raised his rhinoceros horn and looked around, the hairs on his body stood up.

Under the firelight of the rhinoceros horn, I saw that the water surface was densely packed with demons and monsters, and they all stretched out their hands to drag Xia Qing down. There is nothing on the water, a pool of stagnant water, but under the surface of the water it is as scary as it is scary!

The dead water does not cross the living, the living borrow the way, and burn incense to guide the way! This sentence engraved on the stone platform appeared in Xia Qing's mind. At this moment, I finally understood the true meaning of this sentence.

This is a river of the dead, a world of the undead, where the living stop. To pass through here, you have to be guided by the unique sandalwood. There were all dead people under the water, there were no fish at all, and of course you couldn't catch a fish while sitting on the stone platform, so you could only catch a dead man's skeleton. Once the sandalwood burns out, the ship will sink completely!

Lighting the horn of the rhinoceros really illuminates the lonely souls and wild ghosts, and it can also ward off evil spirits so that the dead dare not get close, the ancients did not lie;

The water has reached the chest, and once it sinks into the water, the rhino horn will be extinguished by the water. When the time comes, I will also become a part of the lonely ghosts!

Xia Qing felt that his heart was about to jump out, and he flew to the roof of the canopy boat, and his hands were all under the water, and he didn't dare to touch the water at all. After lighting the rhinoceros horn and seeing it clearly, it is even worse.

The boat was about to sink, but the boatman still sat and rowed slowly, unhurried, and the evil smile on his face became even brighter, and the neck down was reduced to flesh and blood, and only a skull was exposed on the water. The last piece of sandalwood used to guide the way is left, and it will be extinguished at any time. Shouting that no one can save people, shouting that every day should not be, Xia Qing raised the rhinoceros horn to the highest, but still couldn't see the riverbank, and could only vaguely see a stone pillar in front of him.

Xia Qing gritted his teeth and took out a bundle of iron cables from the Qiankun ring, and before setting off, he made full preparations. Originally, this iron rope was intended to be used to catch wild beasts, but now, whether or not you can escape or not depends on this iron rope.

The yin wind was howling, and more demons and monsters appeared under the water surface, stretching out their hands and waiting for Xia Qing to fall into the water;

Xia Qing glanced down at the skeleton boatman, and at the moment when the sandalwood was completely extinguished, his body jumped high on his toes, holding a flaming rhinoceros horn in one hand, and jumping towards the stone pillar in his field of vision with the other hand dancing a long iron cable.

There were heavy forbidden fluctuations rippling in the air, and he couldn't jump far at all, only halfway through the jump, Xia Qing began to fall, and the demons and monsters under the water surface became excited;

Xia Qing was covered in sweat, feeling nervous like never before, but fortunately, at the critical moment, the iron rope in his hand firmly hooked the stone pillar in front of him. The moment the soles of his feet touched the surface of the water, Xia Qing's body rose into the air again and landed steadily on the stone pillar. The surface of the water rolled, setting off a wave head towards the water column, and the demons and monsters under the surface of the water boiled, scrambling to drag Xia Qing into the water to seize his yang energy and heart fire.

Xia Qing didn't dare to look more, raised the rhinoceros horn to find the next stone pillar, gritted his teeth and urged the yuan force in his body to rise into the air again, and jumped forward on the terrifying river of the dead with iron ropes and rhinoceros horn torches. After flying over the seventy-nine stone pillars, I finally saw the riverbank.

After flying and jumping onto the river bank, Xia Qing gasped for breath, feeling that all the strength in his body seemed to have been exhausted, and he was soaked in cold sweat. This time, fortunately, I was fully prepared before the action, and various tools were prepared in the Qiankun Ring, otherwise, I am afraid that I would really die here.

On the other side of the Dead Man's River, there was also a stone platform with a fishing rod and a stick of sandalwood on it. The difference is that there is another sentence engraved on the stone platform, 'Crossing people in the backwater, turning back is the shore, and persuading the monarch not to come again.'" ’

"Turning back is the shore ......"

Xia Qing muttered, the circuit is dangerous, and the front is confused, but I am afraid that it will be more dangerous. Go back the way you came here, or keep going?

Xia Qing didn't hesitate for too long, and continued to move forward with the torch. On the one hand, it was not easy to come here, of course, I was not willing to give up halfway; on the other hand, I really had no strength, and if I wreck the ship halfway again, I am afraid that it will really sink into the water, Xia Qing does not want to become someone else's boatman one day, and be fished out of the water with a fishing rod.

The light is dim, and there seems to be a huge palace ahead. There was a faint white light behind the palace, and there were faint wisps of fairy breath, and it seemed that the place of the white light was the end of the fish dragon gate.

Xia Qing was about to speed up his pace, when a faint sigh suddenly came from the darkness. Raising the rhinoceros horn torch and looking around, he found that there was an old man sitting in front of the left near the stone wall.

"Who?"

"Who?"

Xia Qing took half a step back, holding a rhinoceros horn torch in one hand and the hilt of the sword in the other. The surrounding area is gloomy, and there are people in this place, and no matter how you think about it, you don't feel right.

"Young man, you shouldn't come, this is not a place for you to come, let's go, turn back to the shore. The old man moved, sighed, and then said, "Let's go, while the prohibition mechanism of the Fish Dragon True Monarch has not been triggered, quickly exit, and never come in again." Although the immortal country exercises and treasures are good, they must also be able to be brought out, and ordinary people don't have that life, alas, ......"

A faint sigh echoed in the air, and the air grew colder.

"Old man, who are you?" Xia Qing walked over slowly, listening to the other party's tone, there should be no malice, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The physical exertion in the River of the Dead just now was too great, and now if something powerful suddenly rushes out, it will be bad.
