Stand on the edge of the embankment.

I am observing the situation on the river.

Mistaken for a fishing enthusiast, Founder.

Turning to look at the nearby villager.

It was a villager who resembled a boatman, who must have been eating by the river for generations, and was bending down to tie the boat to the rope while shouting at Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng's heart moved, so he asked politely: "Uncle, why do you say that this river is not peaceful at night?"

In the summer, the wind is a little cooler by the river.

Cool breeze.

Surrounded by mountains and flowing by rivers, it is much cooler than the sultry city with heavy glass curtain wall pollution.

After tying the rope, the villager got up and prepared to go home, and said to Fang Zheng in a serious voice: "As long as there is water, there will definitely be many people drowning, and there must be a little awe." ”

"Listening to the people of the older generation, the water yin qi is heavy, but whoever drowns in the water, the soul and resentment will be trapped by the yin water, and they cannot be reincarnated. Moreover, those who drown either died in vain or unjustly, and the resentment after death is even greater. Therefore, since ancient times, it has been a saying that the drowning person, because of his heavy resentment, will pull people into the water as substitutes for the dead ghosts, so that he can be reincarnated. ”

Fang Zheng stood on the edge of the river embankment, blowing the cold river breeze at dusk, and said with a smile: "If people are really reincarnated after death, then I think that even if these water ghosts really pull people into the water as substitutes for the dead ghosts, they will definitely not be reincarnated, so this folk rumor must be false." ”

The villagers approached at this time and asked curiously, "Why do you say that, young man?"

"Because there are Hades, the Book of Life and Death, the Mirror Table, and the Nai He Bridge in the underworld, the wicked can't even cross the Nai He Bridge, let alone the second trial of the Book of Life and Death, the final trial of the Hades. "The sunset is obliquely shining, and the square cheeks are rendered in the sunset, rendering a golden glazed luster, and the figure gives people a sense of virtuality and unreality.

Uncle: "......"

"You young man is a bit interesting, even the second and final trials have come out. ”

"Young man, you better go back early, this river is indeed not peaceful at night. ”

"Uncle, you have always said that it is not very peaceful, has there been something that has happened in this river? Or, uncle, you have been running boats for a living all year round, have you encountered anything on this river?"

The uncle waved his hand and continued to walk in the direction of home, obviously he didn't want to talk more about Fang Zheng, a foreigner.

But who knows.

At this time, there was a crying voice, and I saw a middle-aged rural woman, supported by several relatives, wearing a white silk on her head by the river embankment, heartbroken and crying.

"This Guo family, I'm afraid it's going to be broken, and people die in the seventy-two ghost gates, how can they get back the body. The villager uncle looked at the rural woman who was crying heartily by the river, shook his head, and said with some regret.

The biggest sting in life is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person.

Fang Zheng listened.

I feel like there's a drama in it.

The uncle knew the rural woman, who seemed to be from the same nearby village.

"Uncle, listen to what you mean, do you know that poor mother? Seventy-two ghost gates mean the river in front of us, why do you say that people who fall into the water and drown will not be able to recover their bodies?"

Fang Zheng asked half-truthfully, trying to get more information from the mouth of the villager uncle.

"Poor, if you don't be greedy for money, this person won't be gone, and you won't be involved with other people. ”

The tone of the villager uncle suddenly changed and became a little disdainful.

Maybe it's because this matter has been suppressed for a long time, and he can't talk about it to his fellow villagers, for fear of destroying the neighborhood relationship, the villager uncle's words are broken, and then he tells Fang Zheng, a foreigner, the general cause and effect.

It turned out that the village woman who sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man was indeed from the same village as the villager uncle.

The Guo family didn't drown for no reason.

It is to die of the greed for money.

Some time ago, there was an entrepreneur's son, who was playing on a boat upstream, but the boat seemed to hit a reef, or hit something in the river, accidentally capsized, and a lot of people died, and some of the bodies were salvaged, and some of the people's bodies could not be found.

If the body can't be found upstream, it must have been washed downstream.

Among them was the entrepreneur's son.

The entrepreneur had a lot of assets, and later, a lot of manpower and material resources were dispatched, and it took a few days and nights, but the body could not be found downstream, so some people speculated that the corpse could be drifted into the complex seventy-two ghost gates of the mountain waterway from the upstream, stuck in a stone crack in the mountain waterway, and did not rush downstream?

What kind of place is the seventy-two ghost gates?

The local villagers know best.

It was a forbidden place where no one could set foot in the forbidden place where there were ancestral teachings since childhood, and that place was too dangerous, and it is said that there were ancient tombs where they were buried, and there were only three results for those who entered.

It's either lost or confused.

The worst ending is that you can't get out for the rest of your life, and whether this person is alive or dead, it is naturally conceivable.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that the villagers who have lived by the river for generations have never entered the seventy-two ghost gates, and that place is too evil.

In addition, according to the villagers' uncle, I heard from the older generation that during the war years, a large number of corpses floated down the upper reaches, all of which were stranded in the winding and winding mountain waterways, and not a single corpse floated out, and the dirty things were particularly fierce.

The entrepreneur did not listen to the advice of the villagers and insisted on sending professional divers into the 72 ghost gates to retrieve the corpses.

As a result, several times before and after, all in vain,

According to those divers who came back, they had to enter 72 ghost gates when they dived, but as a result, the terrain of the waterways in the belly of the mountain was complicated, the environment was harsh, the water was very turbulent, and there were many undercurrent whirlpools, and people could not see clearly at all, and they soon lost their way.

If it weren't for the ropes on the boat, they wouldn't even be able to find their way back.

Underwater is not good, the entrepreneur found a lot of nearby ships, together into the seventy-two ghost gates, as a result of these ships entered, they also immediately lost their way, the waterway in the belly of the mountain is complex, the water flow is turbulent, the fleet is quickly washed away, each is carried into different waterways by the turbulent undercurrent.

After much suffering, it was not until a few days later that the ships came out of their original path.

Q: How did they come out?

It's all a question and a question.

I only know that they have been advancing in the mountain and waterway, and the mountain waterway is twisted and turned, so that they can't find a sense of direction at all, and finally it comes out inexplicably.

"Young man, tell me, are these seventy-two ghost gates evil or not? In those interconnected caves, the sun does not shine all the year round, and the yin qi is heavy, no matter whether you enter it during the day or at night, people are like being blinded by ghosts, and they are completely lost in their way, and finally they come out by themselves in a daze. The villager uncle said with palpitations.

Fang Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

"It's true that there are some evil sects. ”

Fang Zheng looked up at the distance of the river, where the mountains were lined with various ridges that curved like the back of a snake, high and low, and the shrubs on the mountains were lush and green, and the canopy of trees covered the sun.

And among the mountains, there are countless water holes, and the terrain is complex.

"Did the entrepreneur later recover his son's body?"

"Is the death of the Guo family related to the salvage of the entrepreneur's son?"

Fang Zheng retracted his gaze, looked at the villager uncle beside him, and asked more curiously.
