Down the river? I looked at the red river full of corpses again, and was about to ask why I went down the river, when I felt the hull of the boat shake violently a few times, and then the water surface "banged", and a head drilled up.

Exactly antique Lee.

Antique Li held the boat in one hand, wiped the red river water on his face on the other, and grinned twice: "There are a lot of things down there!" After speaking, he supported his hands with a force, and his body flipped onto the boat.

"Lao Li, what are you doing!"

"There's something in the water that catches the boat, and if I don't go down, I'm afraid we'll never get to shore," he said, telling me to row quickly.

As soon as I heard this, I didn't have time to ask in detail, so I squeezed Chen Laosan, who was unconscious, and paddled vigorously with milk. The ship was like an arrow from a string, speeding forward.

I swept my eyes to the surface of the water and saw that all the corpses in the water were moving, surging towards us with teeth and claws......

After about a few minutes, Antique Lee shouted "Stop", and I stopped.

At this time, when I looked at the surface of the water, the corpse was gone, replaced by small flowers that glowed with a crystal green light.

I remember that my uncle introduced this flower, so he pointed to it and shouted, "That's the other side flower!" "Uncle Shi once said that the flowers on the other side bloom on the road to the underworld, and you can reach the Naihe Bridge along the flowers on the other side.

In the folk legend about Meng Po, there are also other flowers and Nai He Bridge.

Antique Li and Lao Huang nodded slightly: "Sure enough, it's the other side of the flower!"

"Huh? Could it be that the inscription you saw on the cave wall thirty years ago also has a flower on the other side? ”

Antique Li nodded and said: "The record of the flower on the other side can be said to run through the entire history, but it is believed that this is just a legendary flower, which blooms on the road to the underworld, and that road is Huangquan Road!" ”

Lao Huang then sighed: "I didn't expect to really see this kind of flower!" Could it be that this is Huangquan Road? ”

It turned out that on the trip to Kunlun Mountain thirty years ago, several people read the account of this section of the river at the junction of yin and yang in the cave, in addition to the black hair and floating corpses, including the flowers on the other side.

The shape of the flower is very peculiar, different from the roses and moons we usually see, its petals are like many curved long whiskers, wrapping the whole stamen in the middle, and the whole is green and shining.

The last time we passed by here, Uncle Shi warned us not to approach this flower, and he said that since it is a flower of death, it is only for the dead to see, and the living have already committed taboos when they see it, so they can't touch it.

The boat is still moving fast, and there are more and more flowers on both sides, and the green colors reflect the bright red river, presenting a very strange picture.

I was just looking at it when I heard the antique Li say to Lao Huang, "How about it, the time has come, do you want to do it?" ”

I was startled, turned my head to look at the two of them, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Lao Huang shook his head slightly, with a very helpless expression, and the antique Li hehehe, pointed to the other side of the flower on one side and said to me: "Xiao Zhen, lean over." ”

It's not that I don't believe in antique Li, but he didn't understand what he said, and coupled with the previous admonition from my uncle, I suddenly hesitated.

"Xiao Zhen - lean over first - I'll explain to you when it's over!"

Antique Li raised his voice, his eyes staring at the flower on the other side.

My heart was crossed, and I silently said: Antique Li will not harm us, so I rowed the oars, and the boat gradually tilted.

Although my boating skills are not as superb as Chen Laosan's, I have grown up by the river since I was a child, and who can't row a few boats. While controlling the direction of the boat, I used my peripheral vision to pay attention to the movement of Antique Lee, and I saw that his eyes were staring at the other side of the flower, which seemed to be close at hand, as if he was looking for something.

Could it be that there is something hidden in the flowers? I couldn't help but wonder, and then my eyes turned to the place where Antique Lee was looking.

Looking so closely, I saw that the stamens of these flowers were of different shapes, some were round, some were like open trumpets, and some were like human palms.

Suddenly, Antique Li yelled "I found it", and then pointed to a place and shouted at me, "Quick! Get over there! ”

Antique Li stretched out his hand and plucked the flower without stamens, and then pointed to the darkness in front of him and shouted, "Hurry up and row!" We must get out of this place as soon as possible! ”

At that moment, the doubts in my heart reached the peak, and I wanted to stop immediately and ask the two old men what they were singing, but the nervous voice of Antique Li told me that this was not the time to clear the doubts......

Once again, the ship was like an arrow from a string, speeding forward.

While rowing, I recalled the last experience, I remember the flowers on the other side of the river at that time glowing white, how did it turn green tonight, and the other time, although I was not unconscious, but I was also tossed and sweated profusely, close to collapse, this time there was almost no discomfort.

I pondered, maybe it's because after more than a month, my Taoism has become much higher!

After paddling for a few minutes, I saw a hill-like structure floating on the void sea. When I saw this building, I couldn't help but feel a little joy in my heart, isn't that where we are going? Uncle Shi said that it was called "Yellow River Dragon Palace", and when it got close, it was an incomparably huge bronze gate.

The flowers on the other side have been left behind us, and this time these countless hands stretched out on the surface of the river, just like last time, these hands held the boat and headed in the direction of "Dragon Palace".

Because this is the second time I have seen this scene, I feel a lot more relieved, and experience has told me that if nothing else, we will soon reach that huge pier.

Finally there was time to clear up the doubts.

"Lao Li, my uncle said that the living can't touch the flower on the other side, it's the flower of death." I turned to look at the two old men.

At this time, the antique Li had already handed over the larger flower to Lao Huang, and what surprised me even more was that at this time, Lao Huang was slowly devouring the flower in his hand, and he had already eaten half of it.

"You-Lao Huang-what are you doing!" As soon as he turned around, he happened to see this strange scene, so he shouted.

Antique Li smiled slightly, he didn't know where to take the towel, and while wiping the water on his face with the towel, he explained: "What your uncle said is right!" A living person can't touch this kind of flower, am I still a living person? After speaking, he smiled bitterly twice.

"Even if it is...... Even if you don't...... No, but Lao Huang! He ......"

Before I finished speaking, I vaguely felt something, and my head buzzed.

Could it be that Lao Huang is also dead?

In fact, when Zhang Kailong and the others lost their consciousness just now, I already suspected that the living should not be unresponsive to that special body of water.

"Xiao Zhen, there are some things I didn't tell you, and even some things have deceived you, but you must believe that whether I conceal or deceive, my purpose is good, and it is all for your good, because there are things you still don't know."

Lao Huang turned a blind eye to our conversation, as if he had nothing to do with him, and ate the flowers in his hand, looking very hungry.

I asked again, "Did Lao Huang also die?" ”

Antique Li nodded and sighed, "He actually died once twenty years ago. ”
