The grandfather looked along the river, and found that on the bank of the river on his right, every three or four feet away, there would be a shoe print walking forward, as if someone was walking along the river in the direction of the right hand, however, the yellow earth was extremely empty, a horse and a flat river, why did this person have to walk along the river, and why did he have to leave shoe prints, the master didn't even think about it, it was obvious that the shoe prints were deliberately left.

The master looked up at the sky and looked again, the sky was still blue, there was no sun, and there were no clouds. After calculating the time in his heart, it has been about an hour and a half since he walked down the hill to come here, and at this time, Xiao Shiyi should have already connected with Xiao Laodao, maybe he had climbed out of the cave and was coming this way.

Thinking of this, the master turned his head and looked at the forest in the distance behind him, which was lush and green, like a green barrier, but he didn't see half a figure.

Taiye is not a person who likes to wait, he didn't want to stop by the river and wait for Xiao Laodao to them, so he made a mark by the river, walked along the river bank, and walked along the shoe prints.

In the whole land, except for the yellow earth, only the river that does not flow is left next to the master. It's also strange to say, on the bank of the river, in the river, there is not even a single aquatic grass, bare, the loess and the river are clearly distinguished, and even, the grandfather found that there seemed to be no signs of life in the water, and he didn't see a single fish and shrimp.

After walking for about four or five miles, the river became wider and wider, and at last the whole river was as far as the eye could see, and the other side of the river could no longer be seen. In addition to this river, there is still a flat river around, there is not a single grass or tree on the ground, it is simply a dead land, but the shoe prints by the river are still there, and they continue to stretch forward.

Walking along the river, there can be more than a mile of land, at this time, the master vaguely saw that there was something abnormal on the river surface in front of him, and there seemed to be a small red dot floating on the bank of the river.

Further on, the red dot grew bigger and bigger, and finally I could see clearly that there was a small red boat parked on the bank of the river, and the hull and canopy were all red, as if they had been soaked in blood. It was the first time that the master had seen the red boat, and it was still in this lifeless barren place, and it felt very weird.

When he got closer, he found that there was a person sitting on the bow of the boat, who was dressed in black, and he looked particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the boat.

While the master quickened his pace, he also raised his vigilance, and the strange space of the strange river, at this time, a red boat and a strange man in black appeared strangely.

What the hell is this place?

The master soon came to the front of the red boat, the red boat was like the river here, stopped on the bank of the river quietly, and the whole space seemed to stand still in time.

The master looked at the red boat, and saw that the man in black at the bow of the boat was dressed in a black robe, with a black hat on his head, his legs crossed in the bow of the boat, and his head drooped downward, and the black hat just covered his face, and he couldn't see his face, but judging from the dress of the man in black, he didn't look like a ferry man, and no ship guild would wear a robe.

At this time, the man in black seemed to be napping in the bow of the boat, his body was motionless, only his back was slightly undulating. The master shouted in a low voice: "May I ask this old brother, what kind of place is this?" ”

The man in black didn't move, he seemed to be asleep, he had walked so far, and finally met someone, of course the master didn't want to give up easily, the master raised his voice and shouted again: "This old brother, please wake up, I have something to ask you next!" ”

After shouting, after a short pause, the man in black seemed to wake up, his body moved, and he slowly raised his head, and while raising his head, he raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth.

The master looked at him, this was a middle-aged man with a dark complexion, in his early forties, with a full beard, and his appearance was not kind, but it was not disgusting.

The middle-aged man rubbed his eyes again with his hand that wiped the corners of his mouth, and glanced at the grandfather wistfully, "Coming?" ”

The tepid and understated words made the grandfather stunned, and hurriedly asked: "This old brother, do you know me?" ”

The middle-aged man stood up from the bow of the boat and stretched his waist, "I don't know, but I'm waiting for you here." ”

"Wait for me?" The middle-aged man's words made the second monk a little confused, and asked, "Since you don't know me, why are you waiting for me here?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled, although the middle-aged man's complexion was black, his teeth were quite white, and the middle-aged man asked rhetorically: "Little brother, did you see the second person along the way?" The grandfather shook his head.

"Since there is no one else, then I am waiting for you."

When the master heard this, what kind of crooked reasoning was this, he patiently asked, "Then may I ask my brother, what kind of place is this?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at the master, and didn't seem to be the slightest interested in the master's question, so he yawned long and said, "What is it?" If you can come here, can you not know it yourself? ”

The grandfather suddenly looked dazed, and the middle-aged man looked at the grandfather again, and said, "I'll just ferry, I'll ferry you to the other side when you get on the boat, and you can ask yourself." ”

When the master heard this, he looked at the middle-aged man coldly, looking like a fool and cynical, feeling that this guy could not be trusted.

"Then thank you, brother." The master didn't get on the boat, didn't pay attention to the middle-aged man anymore, and wanted to continue walking, but when he looked down on the riverbank, the previous shoe prints actually stopped here, and there was no more in front of him.

The grandfather had no choice but to ask the middle-aged man again, "May I ask this eldest brother, before me, have you ever ferried a beautiful girl in a long cyan dress......

"Yes!" Before the master's voice fell, the middle-aged man blurted out that there was, and it could be seen that he didn't even think about it, which made the grandfather have a trace of doubt in his heart.

"Really?"

"Really!" The middle-aged man seemed to come to his senses, "Little brother, hurry up and get on the boat, I'll ferry you to the other side, and you can see her." ”

As soon as the grandfather heard this, he questioned it even more, the grandfather has been walking the rivers and lakes with Xiao Laodao for two years, and the grandfather has seen a lot of people like this who are open-mouthed and full of fools.

The master thought about it for a moment, and didn't want to waste time with him, but he was afraid that what he said was true and he was wrong again, so the master smiled faintly and said, "Then can you tell me what that girl looks like and how old she is." ”

"This ......" The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "This ...... This one looks like a fairy descending to earth, and her age is ...... Ten, sixteen, seven, eighty, nine years old, wearing one, one...... What color dress did you say she was wearing? ”

When the master heard this, he almost didn't rush to the bow of the boat, threw the middle-aged man into the river, and finally met a person, how could he still look like an idiot!

The master was no longer interested in dealing with the middle-aged man, so he continued to walk forward, but the middle-aged man was a little reluctant at this time, and shouted: "Hey, young man, you can't go any further." "The master ignored him.

The middle-aged man shouted anxiously: "I really can't go anymore, come back and get on the boat, otherwise you won't be able to come back." ”

When the master heard this, he didn't stop, and glared back at the middle-aged man, "Master, I'm not scared, but you, so do it yourself!" ”

"Oh, you young man, why are you disobedient, if you go further, I will hold the boat and leave, and when the time comes, you won't be able to cross the river if you want to!"

The master sneered, and said in his heart, "When you get on the ship of your idiot, you may be able to take me somewhere!"

Soon, the grandfather walked away, and behind him, only the middle-aged man was left shouting, and finally, the grandfather vaguely heard him say: What a strange person......

After walking about half a mile along the river, the master was stunned to find that the soil on the ground gradually turned red from shallow to deep, and the river water also changed from shallow to deep and turned black, and the river began to flow, and there were waves rolling over layer by layer.

As we walked further, faintly, the roar of the beast was heard from nowhere, and the sky seemed to darken, no longer blue, but gray, as if it were raining on the top of a dark cloud.

Walking further, the wind roared on the river, the waves were raging, and the red earth on the shore was trembling and trembling by the waves.

At this time, an old voice sounded in the grandfather's ears: "Bingshou, you can't go any further." ”

When the master heard this, he immediately stopped, looked left and right around him, and there was no one, what was going on?

The grandfather asked loudly, "Who is talking to me?" ”

No one responded, and he asked several times in a row, but the voice didn't sound again, and the master stood in place and hesitated, to be honest, he didn't have the bottom of his heart at this time.

At this time, a layer of big waves in the river was stirred up, and they were overwhelmingly smashed towards the shore from a distance, and the master saw this, and did not dodge far from the shore, because these waves were very strange, although they could rush to the shore, they could not shoot on the shore, and they could only cause the ground on the shore to tremble, as if there was an invisible barrier between the river and the land, and it seemed that the river and the ground were two worlds in the same space, adjacent but could not be connected.

The master looked ahead, the world in front of him was getting darker and darker, and finally he couldn't see anything in the dark, and he also felt at this time that if he went further, it might become more and more dangerous, not to mention the roaring of beasts one after another, just the trembling ground under his feet and the river slapping next to him, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

The master turned around and wanted to go back the way he came. The hero doesn't eat the loss in front of him, it's a big deal to go back and be ridiculed by the idiot, however, when the master wanted to take steps back, he found that the blood-red ground was like a quagmire, and he sucked his legs tightly.

What's going on? The master gritted his teeth, took a breath of dantian qi, as if he was pulling his leg from the quagmire, reluctantly lifted his left leg, took a step forward with difficulty, and followed him, the master went to lift his right leg again, but before the right leg was raised, a big wave on the river slapped on, "snap", and the whole body of the master was swallowed up, and the river water smashed on the master, like a stone slab, fortunately the water was soft, otherwise the bones would have to be smashed.

The master's body staggered, so he was not slapped down by the big waves, what's going on, didn't the waves just now not shoot ashore?

wiped a handful of river water on his face, finally raised his right leg, and took a step forward, but at this moment, there was a long roar behind him, which sounded quite close, and the master looked back at the sound, and saw that not far behind him, there were countless pairs of green ghost fires, and the master's heart suddenly sank, because these were not ghost fires, but the eyes of beasts......
