The cold river water poured into Liao Caichen's mouth and nose, he held his breath hard, and a fierce man plunged under the water, struggling to swim forward. The shadow above his head was gone, and the silvery moonlight shone down above, and he knew he had left the ship behind.

But at the same time, another question sprung up in my mind: what shook the hull of the ship a little, and now it was clear that the wind and waves were calm, and there was no reef under the river...... With doubts, he glanced back at the big boat, but this look made Liao Caichen's body stiffen all of a sudden, and he almost choked on a mouthful of water.

Not far away, there was a gray mass in the river, moving rapidly in its direction. He couldn't tell if it was water vapor or smoke, but he could make out vaguely, the raised tip of the thing looked like a human face—Qiu Ran's.

Liao Caichen was shocked in his heart, and his movements in the water were also flustered, his hands and feet seemed to be disobedient, and he made a splash of water, but his body couldn't move forward half an inch.

But at the same time, the speed of the yin qi behind him moved faster, and Liao Caichen felt the strong water pressure, it was like a huge hand, swooping over from behind and grabbing him in the palm of his hand, and then pressing him heavily into the mud and sand at the bottom of the water.

The three souls returned to the water mansion, and the seven spirits entered the underworld. Liao Caichen played Du Shi Niang who was angry and sinking into the treasure chest, and when he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, he only had to close his eyes and make a silent gesture. But now, he really experienced what it was like to be suffocated alive, the mud and sand pouring into his nose, mouth and ears, blocking all the outlets he could breathe, and he felt that his lungs were about to explode, as if they were being roasted by fire, and the fire burned and hurt.

A white light appeared in his brain, and Liao Caichen knew that his consciousness was gradually leaving his body, and the pain seemed to be less intense. But the fear in his heart grew deeper and deeper, almost swallowing him completely: he was not afraid of death, he was afraid that his soul would still be trapped by Qiu Ran after death, and he would not be able to escape from him for eternity, just like the other people in the Qiu Mansion who died innocently.

"Huh."

Another white light, this time, it seemed to pass in front of his closed eyelids, bright, as if it had drawn the moonlight from the sky.

Liao Caichen opened his eyes hard, he could actually see, in the mud and sand of the river bottom, he could see the fine sand and pebbles around his body, and even heard a loud noise around him, although this movement was made by Qiu Ran.

Liao Caichen looked at the sand in front of him in horror and stepped back, and a hand appeared in the middle of the sand. What kind of hand is this? It was white and blue, two fingers were missing, and there was a huge gap in the back of the hand, as if it had been bitten by a large fish.

Liao Caichen let out a scream that he didn't expect, and kicked his feet down hard, escaping from the shackles of the mud and sand.

He swam towards the surface of the water like a free fish. At the same time, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Qiu Ran below, who was crawling out of the mud and sand, his face almost unrecognizable from a fish bite turned up, his eyes staring coldly at him.

Liao Caichen was frightened by this gaze, he let out a silent "snort" and swam up with all his might. His body was very light, and it seemed to be completely different from the body that had just been trapped in the mud and sand, as if something was holding him up below.

However, Liao Caichen couldn't care about anything now, he used his hands and feet together, and after kicking a few times, he finally drilled out of the river with a "poof".

The air outside was cold and fishy, but Liao Caichen felt that he had never breathed such luscious air. He spat out the mud from his mouth, and shook his nose desperately, letting the air slowly flow to his lungs, which were already crumpled together. After his mind cleared a little, he saw that there was a raft beside him, on which stood three people, two men and one woman, and the lean and young man had grabbed him by the arms and dragged him onto the raft with ease.

"Water...... There are ghosts in the water......" Liao Caichen didn't have time to say thank you, so he pointed to the water surface and said this sentence in shock.

"Of course I know there's a ghost down here, and I know that if I hadn't saved you, you'd have been eaten by that old ghost by now." A girl with a hat slowly turned towards Liao Caichen and said something that stunned him.

Liao Caichen looked at the face that was half covered by the hat, and for some reason, he shivered slightly, "You saved me?" ”

After saying this, he suddenly thought of the inexplicable shaking of the big ship, and also thought of the warm silver light in the mud and sand, he was stunned for a moment, and asked [520] again, "Did you really save me?" ”

"It's so long-winded." The girl said a rough word, waved her fingers upward, and silently said "receive" in her mouth. With her words, a scorching copper needle came out of the river, and after a circle in the air, it landed firmly in the palm of the girl's hand.

Liao Caichen had never seen such a miraculous sight, he fell to his knees, kowtowed a few times on the hard raft, and said, "Thank you to the gods for saving my life, thank you to the gods for saving my life." ”

But after kowtowing a few times and his head was blue, he saw that the girl had no intention of asking him to stop, so he had to bend down slightly and kneel there, not knowing what to do for a while.

Fortunately, another tall man who had not spoken all this time came over and played a round, helped him up, and said with disgust in his mouth, "It's easy to save you once, but if you still have bad habits in the future, then even the gods can't save you." ”

Liao Caichen nodded tremblingly, "Yes...... Be...... I swear never to gamble again, and if I step into the gambling house half a step again, I will let ...... Just let Qiu Ran haunt me for the rest of my life, just let me ...... I'll never get rid of him......"

Hearing this, a sneer squeezed out of the girl's lips, "Even gamblers are afraid of evil spirits, I think it will be Qiu Ran, to see how terrible he is." ”

"Immortal, let's get out of here quickly, although you have supernatural powers, but ...... But that monster is really brutal and terrifying, according to my guess, he should have killed his two wives, and killed the family members cleanly, so let's go as the best policy. ”

Liao Caichen was already frightened by Qiu Ran, so he naturally urged a few of them to flee quickly. But as soon as he finished speaking, the raft suddenly "creaked", and after a few violent vibrations, it was motionless again, as if it was glued to the water.
