Master? Teacher? Brother?

My mind suddenly became a mess, and all the previous experiences flashed through my mind like a marquee, and the relationship with the master was thrown into the Yellow River; I followed my brother to learn the Tao and memorize the scriptures night and night, but in the end, he said goodbye without saying goodbye, leaving me a palace-like courtyard......

I also instantly understood, why Sun Banxian was full of disbelief when he saw me, and then knelt down to kowtow to me, my senior brother is more than half a century older than me, but he also kowtowed to me three times, and now another senior uncle has appeared, and he still kowtows three times.

Uncle Shi was stunned when he saw me, smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Zhen! Actually, Haicheng has told me everything about you! ”

As soon as I heard this, I suddenly came back to my senses and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen ...... Have you met my brother? ”

"I met by chance two months ago, in fact, I didn't know that there were two teachers and nephews in the world before, our Yellow River Taoist canons are a bit special, and the apprenticeship is all personal, even if it is between brothers and sisters, they don't communicate with each other. The last time I saw your master was around here, and it was more than half a century ago......"

Chen Laosan rowed the oars silently, listened carefully, and seemed to be very interested in these things.

Zhang Kailong was a little impatient, and kept looking around, as if looking for something.

Finally caught a small gap in the "stuck" when the two of us were chatting, and he hurriedly interjected: "Uncle Sun! Tell me first, where are we going? ”

At this time, I noticed that Uncle Shi was holding a small bronze compass in his hand, he first looked at the compass, then looked at the Yellow River in the distance, and finally looked up at the stars in the sky a few times, before answering Zhang Kailong:

"Didn't I tell you, I'll take you tonight to meet the dirty things in the Yellow River and see how they're doing!" Uncle Shi didn't raise his head, and replied very casually.

"Where is the hidden thing in the Yellow River! If you come during the day, you shouldn't be able to see it more clearly! ”

"Daytime? Hehe, at present, the Yellow River still belongs to human beings during the day, and you can't see those dirty things! ”

As soon as I heard this, I put aside my heart for a while, thinking: What is the Yellow River during the day that temporarily belongs to human beings? Could it be that the Yellow River at night does not belong to human beings? I was about to open my mouth to ask Uncle Shi what he meant by this, but Zhang Kailong spoke first: "What you said about it, is it true that the Yellow River at night does not belong to human beings?" ”

Uncle Shi didn't pay attention to him anymore, but stared intently into the distance, and the faint smile on his face was swept away, replaced by a nervous face.

"Uncle Shi, what's wrong?"

In the silence, time passed very slowly, in fact, it was only a few minutes, but it felt as if half an hour had passed, and I finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked in a low voice.

Uncle Shi first glanced at the stars in the sky, then closed the lid of the compass, and shouted in a low voice: "Cover your ears quickly, and no matter what you see or hear later, you must be calm, because everything is illusory, don't be disturbed!" ”

I was confused, although I was only sixteen or seventeen years old, I had been stumbling on the Yellow River since I was six or seven years old, and I thought I was quite familiar with this water, and I didn't remember any very special and terrifying places!

Although I thought so, Zhang Kailong and I still covered our ears very obediently, and then looked at Chen Laosan, he didn't know where to take out the cotton lint, stuffed it into his ears and eyes, and finally poked it with his fingers a few times to ensure that it was stronger.

The boat moved forward slowly, and the silence around it was oppressive, except for the sound of the hull and oars paddling across the water.

My eyes were firmly fixed on the front, and the water surface that was originally very clear and quiet suddenly became misty in the blink of an eye, and I could see clearly even three meters away from the boat!

All of a sudden, I broke out in a cold sweat, since eating the dragon eggs, my eyesight is getting better and better day by day, and now, even at night, I can recognize the appearance of people three or four miles away.

What's going on? Foggy? I wanted to ask Uncle Shi, but when I saw his serious face, I swallowed the words that came to my mouth.

In the depression of the Yellow River, fog is very normal, from the beginning of autumn to winter, almost one-third of the time is foggy, but the fog on the river surface is water mist, generally just gives people a hazy feeling, and the perspective is still good. But the fog in front of me was all white, and I could only see a patch of white when I exhausted my eyesight.

Zhang Kailong, like me, had round eyes and horror on his face.

Chen Laosan also stopped rowing the oars, and covered his ears with his hands like us.

Afterwards, I pondered about it, probably Chen Laosan has been mixed on the Yellow River for half his life, and he knows the horror of the Yellow River, so he is especially cautious in this water.

Perhaps he had had similar horrific experiences, which had been imprinted in the depths of his mind and became nightmares, so that at the sight of such a scene, one suddenly became a "coward".

Strangely, the boat child moved forward slowly, as if someone was gently pushing in the water.

At this time, the oppressive feeling in my chest became more and more obvious, and after a few minutes, it had turned into a dull pain. I had a hunch that tonight would be the most dangerous night I'd ever lived.

The boat continued to move, neither fast nor slow, and for several minutes, the three of us covered our ears with our hands and stared motionlessly ahead.

After a long time, it will be very tiring, so I subconsciously turned my head and glanced at the water next to the boat, and suddenly, I felt like I was electrocuted!

I saw that the pale yellow water had turned blood red, and it was like a boat sailing in a river filled with blood, which was not the most frightening, but the most frightening thing was what floated in the blood-like river.

It was a clump of hair!

It is still easy to distinguish human hair from the hair of other animals, and this clump of hair, some black, some gray, and some gray, is like a head-up mop!

Compared to the bright red water of the river, this clump of hair is more frightening and curious.

Where did so much hair come from? Floating downstream? That's what I thought for the first time! It's a kind of conditional launch-like reaction!

But when you think about it, it's not right! It is impossible to have so much hair even in a barbershop, and besides, the hair is not scattered, but clumped, as if the whole person's scalp has been peeled off.

Peel off your scalp? Thinking about it made me feel like an electric current all over my body.

My gaze moved to the bottom of the nearest clump of hair, and it happened that the water rippled in the hull of the boat, and the clump of hair swayed, and through the blood-red liquid, I could see what was underneath the hair.

It turned out to be a pale human face!
