I saw that Uncle Shi's face was covered with sweat, and all the thin white clothes were attached to his body.

When he saw me, he smiled slightly, and I could tell that this time the smile was very reluctant, obviously a bitter smile.

"Little nephew, I didn't expect your Taoism to be very deep! I was able to survive this 'illusory shadow'! ”

Uncle Shi said to me weakly.

I was about to stand up and stretch my arms and legs, but as soon as I straightened up, I felt a sore knee and almost fell into the river. I tried this hard, and I didn't have any strength in my whole body, and I touched the tip of my nose and sweated in my hand.

"Uncle Shi! I ......"

"Xiao Zhen! You are already very good, you must know that this 'illusory shadow' is a waterway between the two worlds of yin and yang, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter alive! ”

Hearing him say this, I hurriedly reached out to pull Zhang Kailong, who was closer to me, he saw that his hair was fluffy and messy, and his face was covered with blood.

Seeing me like this, Uncle Shi smiled a few more bitterly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry! Feel relieved! Since I let them come, I can make sure that they are safe, look at their necks! ”

Uncle Shi pointed to it, and I looked for prestige, and I saw a curved jade hanging from each of them around their necks, like orange petals.

"You hooked it up for them?" As soon as I looked at this jade, I guessed that it must have been opened by my uncle, and looking at the color of this jade and the exquisite dark lines on it, I knew that it was not an ordinary jade.

"When I returned to the Central Plains this time, I only brought five pieces of evil jade, and I have already given away four pieces!"

Uncle Shi didn't answer my words directly, but when I heard him say this, I understood that it was these two curved pieces of jade that saved the lives of the two people, and he said that four pieces of jade had been sent out, except for the ones hanging around the necks of Chen Laosan and Zhang Kailong, the other two should have been given to the two little boys in Xiaohe Village!

"What's going on on their faces and heads?"

Knowing that the two of them were okay, my heart filled back into my stomach, and at the same time I was curious about the wounds on their faces and heads, as if they had just fought with someone.

"Scratch it yourself! When I passed through the 'illusory shadow' just now, people will have extremely strong hallucinations, and the more frightened they are, the more terrifying they will be when they see and hear, so I didn't tell you this before! ”

"Are you sure all of that was hallucinating? Isn't it true that everyone sees and hears differently? I asked.

"I can only say that most of them are hallucinations! The reason why it is called 'illusory shadow' is because what exists here is an illusion, but not all of them are hallucinations......" Before the words were finished, Uncle Shi wanted to speak and stopped, as if he was very taboo about something, and hurriedly changed his words, and continued: "What everyone sees and hears is different, these illusory scenes are the most feared in everyone's heart, although everyone sees and hears differently, but the result will make people self-harm until they have a mental breakdown, and finally commit suicide!" ”

After listening to Uncle Shi's words, I thought that I was on the verge of collapse just now, and if it wasn't for his old man's timely recitation, I am afraid that I would have jumped into the river......

I was sure that the two of them were okay, but I fainted, and I gradually came out of the tense atmosphere just now.

People are like this, there is a similar word called "food and clothing, thinking about desire", the same reason, when I know that I and the people around me are out of danger, the doubts in my heart will come out of nowhere.

"Uncle Shi, what kind of waterway does the 'illusory shadow' you just mentioned lead to a certain place?"

Only then did I remember what Uncle Shi said just now, just now my attention was on Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan, and I didn't pay attention to what he meant.

"Xiao Zhen! Don't call me Uncle in the future, in fact, there is no such title as Uncle in our Yellow River Dao people! You can also call me grandson! ”

Uncle Shi opened the lid of the compass again, looked at it for a while, and continued:

"There is still some distance between the yang and the underworld, and until now, no one knows the length of this distance, because it took some people a few minutes, some people a few hours, and some days, weeks, months, or even a lifetime. This 'illusory shadow' is a path in this space! ”

When I heard this, I shook my head and replied, "Master...... O grandson! You're not right, right? People say that the middle of this underworld and the yang world is the 'Wufu Road', both sides of the road are full of flowers, the end of this road is the 'Nai He Bridge', across this bridge, there is a man named Meng Po holding a bowl of Meng Po soup, as long as you drink Meng Po soup, you will forget everything in this life......"

Before I finished speaking, I was stopped by Lao Sun waving his hand.

"You are talking about a dry road, and it may also exist, it is said that only ghosts can walk on that road, and the living cannot enter! This time, we are taking a waterway, which can be regarded as a loophole between the two worlds of yin and yang! ”

Lao Sun looked at the surrounding environment, smiled slightly, and asked me: "Xiao Zhen, didn't you just talk about the other side of the flower?" That is! ”

As he spoke, Lao Sun pointed to the right front of the hull, which was a silver-white area.

When I looked at the silvery white in front of me, I thought it was the reflected moonlight! But when I looked up, there was still a moon in the sky, and the whole night sky was pitch black, like a huge curtain.

Looking down at the silver white again, it suddenly dawned on the surface of the river that countless white flowers bloomed on the entire river, each of which was the size of a child's palm, very round, and the number of flowers was so large that it could not be seen at a glance. These flowers are not only white, but also glowing, and the white flowers and white light are connected together, and from a distance, they look like a silver-white mirror.

In the blink of an eye, the boat came closer, and from this distance, these small flowers glowing with silver-white light in front of them were very charming, and at the same time, they also revealed an indescribable evil aura, which seemed to be breathtaking, making you stare at it unconsciously.

"Xiao Zhen! Xiao Zhen! ”

Lao Sun called my name twice in a voice like a bronze bell, and I was shaken all over my body, and I was instantly relieved.

I know that he just used a kind of exorcism technique of our Yellow River Dao people, which is a bit similar to the "lion's roar" in Shaolin Temple, using his voice to wake up people who are confused or about to be confused.

"Holy! Old grandson! This flower is very evil! Looking at it, my eyes felt like they were hooked by it. ”

Lao Sun took out a handful of paper money from his bag, threw it into the river at will, and replied while throwing it: "This is the flower on the other side, which can hook people's hearts, so under normal circumstances, the living cannot see it, and on the other hand, if the living see it, they will also become dead!" ”

"We're also alive, aren't we? Why didn't you die when you saw it! ”

Seeing that Lao Sun was full of energy, the consumption just now should have basically recovered, and I almost rested, so I thought about making fun of him and relieving the depressed and tense atmosphere.

"You may not know that in ancient times, Taoist priests could not be regarded as mortals, their lifelong goal was to cultivate and become immortals, even now, once you step into the path of cultivation, you are actually destined to no longer be mortals......"

At this time, I really realized what it means to be "uneducated, it's terrible"! Lao Sun's words seem to be very reasonable, I don't understand, but I also understand that he wants to tell me that ordinary people will be hooked off their souls when they see the flowers on the other side, and people will die.

The boat was still moving as before, and with all my eye could see, I could faintly see a palace floating on the water in front of me.

"Old Sun, look! There seems to be a palace in front of it."

I pointed ahead and shouted.

Lao Sun only glanced at me, and then stared at me with a puzzled look.

"You kid has such good eyesight? It's so far away that you can already see the 'Yellow River Dragon Palace'? ”

I was stunned for a moment, and continued to point to the distant palace in front of me and asked, "You said that is the Dragon Palace?" It seems like...... It's like it's floating on the river......"

Lao Sun smiled: "It's not like, the entire Dragon Palace is floating on the water, don't forget, this is no longer our world, so you can't use the perspective of our world to look at everything here!" ”

"Ahh Could this be the Netherworld? "I was stunned.

"I really doubt Senior Brother's vision now, why did I accept such a stupid apprentice as you! Didn't I just say it clearly? This is a place between the two worlds of yin and yang, not the yang world, but it does not belong to the underworld! ”

Lao Sun's words are a bit shocking, I, Chen Xiaozhen, was just an orphan before, although this period of time has been full of adventures and extraordinary experiences, but after all, it is the first time to come to such a ghost place, isn't it normal to not understand anything?

I pondered Lao Sun's words for a while, and suddenly remembered the "Golden Triangle region" between Yunnan and Myanmar that I saw on TV, and thought to myself: This is probably like the three-way zone......

The ship was still moving at a constant speed, heading towards the Dragon Palace that Lao Sun had mentioned.

I knew that this place was very weird, and I no longer dared to look at the flowers on the other side in the distance, my eyes swept from the bow to the stern, and I accidentally saw the two oars on Chen Laosan's side, and my heart suddenly became curious again.

It was Chen Laosan who was rowing before, but for a long time, no one rowed! The river in this hellish place seems to be calm, and there is no wind at all, so why would the boat move forward at a uniform speed?

I hurriedly asked Lao Sun.

Lao Sun smiled bitterly and replied, "Your comprehension ability is so poor, why is your curiosity so heavy?" If you're not afraid, stick your head to the side of the boat and see!"

I was a little curious, but I also asked casually, knowing that in such an area, it was normal for anything to happen.

But I was so provoked by Lao Sun, I was also very unconvinced, and thought: Just watch! I've seen all the ghosts, and they can't be more terrifying than what I just saw!

Lao Sun held the compass in his hand and looked at me with a smile, which seemed to mean: Do you kid have the courage to crawl over and see?

All of a sudden I was on fire, clapped my hands, turned my head and looked at the bottom of the boat.

After only two glances, I regret it, my mother! No wonder no one rowed, the boat was still moving at a constant speed, it turned out that there were countless hands stretched out in the water, at the bottom of the boat, they were some white hands, exactly the same color as the human face just saw, and the black nails were more than ten centimeters, and it could not be the hands of a living person at first glance.

At first glance, I was scared and fell back on Zhang Kailong's body.

"Look at your unproductive appearance, now you know why I just said that most of the things in 'Illusory Shadows' are illusory? In fact, there are thousands of living dead people in the water under our boat, and their job is to row! ”
