He Qingyou barely stood up from the boat, walked to the side of the child's corpse, folded his hands, closed his eyes and began to chant a mantra. It took about ten minutes for him to open his eyes, then pick up the body and throw it into the water.

I saw the corpse bubbling a few times, then sinking, and the red-clothed child slowly swirled underwater, and finally was submerged by the water and disappeared.

He Qingyou sat on the bow of the boat covered in blood, panting and waiting quietly. I knew he was waiting for the dragon's response.

Exposed to the sun, He Qingyou's whole person is like a frosted eggplant. The water was calm and there was no reaction.

He was not reconciled, and waited for a long time, but the water was still quiet. At this time, the sun is in the west, and the surroundings are slowly falling into darkness.

He Qingyou couldn't wait any longer, he used the bucket on the boat to draw water, and began to desperately wash away the large areas of bloodstains, and it took a lot of work to finally wash them clean, and he couldn't see it.

He paddled with his head down, and slowly left the place in the boat. Yuantong stood up and said coldly: "Get on the boat." ”

I was in doubt, and I saw Yuantong stepping on the water, walking step by step towards He Qingyou's boat. I swallowed, cautiously poked my foot out, and stepped on the surface of the river, which had no effect on me.

Oh, by the way, this is the bardo realm, not reality. I also stepped on the water and followed Yuantong.

We came all the way to the boat, and as soon as Yuantong stepped into the boat, I hurried on. Who knew that there was a strange thing, the stern of the boat came up with us, and it was unbearable to swallow it, and it shook for a while.

He Qingyou was paddling on the bow of the boat, and with an obvious shock, he looked over.

Yuantong stood at the stern of the boat, his body straight as dry, reciting scriptures in a low voice. He Qingyou couldn't see us, observed suspiciously for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and stopped looking.

He Qingyou rowed the oars and finally found the large army before nightfall. He landed with many boats. The dry area on the shore is covered with straw mats, and many villagers who have fled the desert stay here to rest temporarily.

At night there were no lights, and clusters of fires were lit on the shore, and groups of ten or eight people gathered around the fire. The girls chattered about homely things, and the men sighed, only the children were unrestrained, but they felt very funny, giggling and laughing.

He Qingyou sat next to a fire, mixed in the crowd, and didn't talk to anyone, his face was sinking like water, and his heart was heavy.

At this moment, suddenly someone shouted: "Look, what is that?!" ”

Everyone stood up and all rushed to the shore to look at it together. Far to the southwest, in the depths of the Hessian River, a lot of fireballs suddenly flew out, and from a distance it looked like a Kong Ming lantern. A bright, reddish glow burst from the water into the air and disappeared into the night.

The crowd watched this strange scene quietly at first, so quiet that they could hear it when they fell from a needle. Then, the crowd began to whisper, and after a short time, a rumor spread among the crowd. According to the oldest grandmother who lives in the village, there is a dragon in the depths of the river, and it is likely that this flood appeared after it crossed the catastrophe, and the fireballs were spit out by the dragon!

Everyone was talking, and I don't know who took the lead, so I fell to my knees with a poof. Like a wave, the crowd knelt down one by one, and at least thousands of people knelt down in front of the entire riverbank.

Yuantong and I stood on a high rock not far away, looking down on the crowd, although I knew that this was the realm of the bardo, but seeing such a scene, I still couldn't control the shock and emotion.

Thousands of ragged, unpretentious ordinary people, kneeling on the riverbank in the dark night, are shouting, "Dragon, dragon, dragon......"

No one took the lead, they all came out spontaneously, and the low and powerful voice was carried far and wide along the river.

The moonlight drifted over and landed on He Qingyou in the crowd, this kid looked frustrated, his expression was extremely painful, he must have figured it out, the reason why this dragon appeared was because of the reason why he sacrificed the virgin. Originally, with a little more patience, I could have waited for it, but I left first and missed this opportunity.

He Qingyou muttered to himself, I could see what he was talking about, he was talking about the great wealth and longevity of a hundred years, the great wealth and the longevity of a hundred years. Everyone else is expressing awe and praying, but only He Qingyou's mind is full of selfish desires and his mind is full of himself.

The bardo passed quickly overnight. Monk Yuantong meditated and chanted all night, and I didn't dare to say anything next to me.

In terms of time, we've been underwater for a long time, and I'm stuck here, and I have to worry about not drowning.

The sky was slightly bright, and He Qingyou secretly drove the boat out alone. Monk Yuantong closed his eyes and suddenly opened them, slowly descended from a high place, and stepped into the water. I followed.

We walked briskly all the way down the river, following the boat.

He Qingyou really killed the horse pistol and returned to the place where the child was killed yesterday. He paddled around, nervous, looking for the dragon.

He muttered in his mouth: Rich and noble, live a long life, dragon, dragon, you are summoned by me, show up and return to me.

Mindfulness chattered, and whirlpools appeared on the surface of the water, first one after another, and then slowly converged.

He Qingyou stood at the bow of the boat, looking down nervously, and a huge black shadow appeared under the deep river water. The black shadow can be tens of meters long, and the thickness can be about twice that of a small boat, looming and mysterious.

When He Qingyou saw this scene, the greed just now was gone, replaced by deep fear, so frightened that he was about to pee, he sat on the boat, and the whole person looked like a fool.

There was no sunlight, the clouds were heavy, and a small boat carried a greedy man, and in the deep water was the long dragon he had longed for.

Yuantong suddenly said: "It's not good! Come on! ”

He grabbed my wrist and stepped on the water. After walking a short distance, we reached the entrance of the village again.

I saw that the village was back to its pre-flood state, except that all the houses were ethereal like black smoke, and began to transpire and distort.

"What, what's going on?" I asked in surprise.

Circular channel: "He Qingyou has not passed the purgatory test of the bardo realm, he is going to die, and he will cross to the underworld." As soon as he dies, this place will not exist, and the yin thing will also receive supernatural powers, and if we don't get out in time, we will be drowned in the flood! ”

Yuantong pulled me out of the village. The moment we stepped out, the village behind us suddenly disappeared, and everything disappeared without a trace.

I was in a trance, I didn't know whether what I experienced was true or false, it was true, everything was conjured up by He Qingyou's bardo realm; said it was false, but I witnessed He Qingyou killing people, the dragon spit fire in the night, and the people knelt down...... These living scenes, they are all engraved in the depths of memory, how can they be said to be fake?

I thought as I ran after Yuantong. The wall of water began to fluctuate, and small streams of water continued to spurt out of the wall, and the wall became more and more wrinkled, in a state of imminent collapse.

"The feminine thing is about to reclaim the mirage." YTO said.

"Is the yin thing you are talking about the dragon?" My throat rattled.

"Don't ask." Yuantong said: "There are some things that don't say or ask, and if you don't know, you don't know." Otherwise, it is a feather that is picked up, and it will become a thousand catties of Mount Tai when you put it down. ”

We ran all the way until we finally came to the place where the oxygen cylinder was thrown. YTO and I helped each other to hang the oxygen cylinder on our bodies and buckle up our diving goggles.

As soon as I finished cleaning up, I heard a deafening loud bang, and the tall wall of water finally collapsed!

The water walls on both sides instantly turned into a big water, surging wildly and unrestrained, squeezing and pushing the waves in the middle together. Yuantong took my hand, and I remember that at the end he said a sentence: "You go out first, and I will send Boss He on the last ride." ”

As soon as the words fell, the water had arrived, and in an instant I felt like I was swept up in a tornado, and I couldn't see anything, all dust, sand and bubbles. The whole person kept spinning in the water, as if he had been thrown into a high-speed washing machine.

It's really spinning, weightless, being thrown up and falling again. At this time, I secretly admired my endurance, no matter how much pain I had, I could comfort myself, endure it, and it would pass in a while.

In this state of violent rotation, I recall many things when I was a child, once I went to a very tall building with my father, we were climbing the stairs, I really couldn't walk, my father told me a word, son, you have to learn to be patient, you have to enjoy the pain of the moment.

Somehow, this sentence has remained in my memory, and how many times have I walked with me in the most dangerous times, allowing me to survive one difficulty after another.

I recall this and try to keep myself awake and then steady my mind. At this time, the water gradually calmed down, and I didn't care much, so I kicked the water straight up.

The process of floating upwards was probably the most painful experience I've ever had in my life. Dizziness, nausea, and weakness, and sweat on my forehead, I wish I could just sink into the water.

But with great endurance, I finally surfaced.

As soon as I got out of the water, I was instantly dizzy, and I almost fainted. I vaguely saw a few people jumping into the water and swimming towards me. They were all members of the diving team, grabbed me and swam to shore. I knew I was safe, I couldn't hold on any longer, my eyes were dark, and I really fainted.
