Chapter 22: The Living Man in the River

The river god suddenly changed color. Didn't speak immediately.

At this time, I saw that Zhang Yiqing could ask the river god questions, so I couldn't help but say to Zhang Yiqing, my father's soul.

Zhang Yiqing pressed his hand down, signaling that he understood.

The river god said, "Yes, but many people have died in the water lately, but only one person has stood up." ”

I subconsciously asked, "Who is it?" ”

The river god shook his head and said, I don't know.

Zhang Yiqing hummed, and did not continue to ask, and then Zhang Yiqing said: "Do you have a soul hidden here, the name of this soul is Qin Youyi?" ”

The river god did not hesitate this time, and said, "There is no soul in this way." ”

This time it was Zhang Yiqing's turn to have some confused looks on his face, but Zhang Yiqing did not continue to ask, but said: "The person who stood up in the water, although you can find out who it is for me, I only have three days, if you can't find out in three days, maybe Daluo Immortal won't be able to save you at that time." ”

The river god's complexion changed drastically for a while, and when I looked at the river god's reaction, I knew that the river god believed Zhang Yiqing.

Zhang Yiqing seemed to have grasped the weakness of the river god all of a sudden.

Some water ghosts will say, "My lord, why should we listen to him? ”

"Shut up." Lord River God unceremoniously reprimanded the water ghosts around him, looked at the four stone pillars buried deep in the water, and then said, "Okay, but you can tell me, who are you?" ”

Zhang Yiqing shook his head and said: "You'd better not ask what you shouldn't ask, when you should know, you will naturally know." ”

Zhang Yiqing's face was serious, and there was a coercion in his tone, and the river god didn't dare to say anything else at this time. nodded, and sank into the water with the water ghost without nonsense, and the water surface quickly returned to calm, Zhang Yiqing's eyes were still looking at the river.

When I saw the river gods and water ghosts leaving, I couldn't help but say, "Master Zhang, if my father's soul is not here, where will it be?" ”

Zhang Yiqing said to me: "Your father's soul is not here, where else can it be?" ”

I then said, "Then why did the river god say he wasn't here?" ”

Zhang Yiqing said to me: "Qin Huai, now is not the time to tell you these things, you just need to know one thing, this river is not as simple as it seems. ”

"Let's go back first." Zhang Yiqing spoke, turned around and walked towards home, Qi Yao and I followed behind Zhang Yiqing, I looked at Zhang Yiqing's back, and now I am more and more curious about Zhang Yiqing's identity, I pulled Qi Yao and chased after him, and said: "Master Zhang, even the river god was afraid of you just now, you shouldn't be a fairy, right?" ”

Zhang Yiqing smiled and said, "Hahaha, I'm not that good." ”

"You must be an immortal, otherwise, how could Lord River God be afraid of you."

Zhang Yiqing suddenly made a silent gesture towards me, signaling me not to say anything, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky and said, "Don't say it, be careful to be heard." ”

I also followed Zhang Yiqing's fingers to look at the sky, but the source of the sky was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything at all.

When we returned home from the river, the three of us sat in the house, and Zhang Yiqing said to me, "Qin Huai, now that the old cow is dead, something big is about to happen." ”

I asked Zhang Yiqing, "What's the big deal?" ”

Zhang Yiqing said that you will know when the time comes.

I would go to the house, I wanted to see my dad, but when I got to the house, I was confused, I saw that the bed where my dad was lying was empty, I was confused at first, and then when I reacted, I called out to my dad, looking for my dad's traces in the house, but I looked in the house, but I didn't find it.

It may be that I made a bit of a disturbance in the house, and Qi Yao and Zhang Yiqing also came in quickly.

Qi Yao opened her mouth and asked me, "What's wrong?" ”

I said, "My dad is gone." ”

As I spoke, I ran out of the house, and searched in front of and behind the house, but I still didn't find any trace of my dad, and I couldn't help but be a little anxious, but when I was in a hurry, I was thinking about when my dad woke up.

Another possibility is that my dad didn't wake up at all, but my dad's body was taken away, and if that happens, it's over.

I was anxious, but where to find my father's body in the middle of the night, and it was obviously not possible to rely on my strength alone, my first thought was to find my second uncle, but I had just run a few steps, and Zhang Yiqing's voice came from behind me, Zhang Yiqing said to me: "Qin Huai, don't look for it." ”

I said, why don't you look for it?

"You'll find out just by coming and seeing."

I turned around and went back, but I was still worried, and we went back to my dad's room, and when I arrived, I saw that my dad had left an envelope on the table, but maybe I was too anxious to see it.

I asked, "Is this what my dad left me?" ”

Zhang Yiqing said yes, then opened the envelope, and then read the contents to me, with only a simple sentence written on it, don't look for me.

When I saw these four words, I was stunned, but I still know my dad's handwriting, if it's right, it should be my dad's left, is my dad's soul back, and when I come back, my dad is gone? I took the piece of paper from Zhang Yiqing's hand.

I looked at the contents of the paper and had mixed feelings for a moment.

According to what I saw before, it is certain that my dad has an enmity with the river god of the underworld and the Qinkou River, and my dad's death is likely to be related to them.

Thinking about it, my brow furrowed, and I was worried about my dad.

Zhang Yiqing seemed to see what I was thinking, so he said to me: "Qin Huai, you don't have to worry about your father, you still have to worry about yourself." ”

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Zhang Yiqing said: "The three things I told you at the beginning happened quickly, and when these three things happened, it means that that person will come back to life." ”

"Who?" I asked.

Qi Yao was obviously more curious, so she came up.

Zhang Yiqing asked me to close the door, and then posted a yellow talisman on the door, Zhang Yiqing said with a faint smile on his face: "You really want to know?" ”

I said think about it, and Qi Yao also nodded.

Zhang Yiqing said: "Since you want to know, I will tell you a story, maybe you have heard of it in the old life, but I don't know if you have heard of it." I asked Zhang Yiqing to speak, Zhang Yiqing did not delay, and said: "Do you know the origin of this Qinkou River?" In fact, this Qinkou River was not called Qinkou River at first, but because of a person who changed its name to Qinkou River. ”

I listened curiously, and didn't interject.

Zhang Yiqing continued: "In ancient times, there was an emperor called Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang had great achievements in his life, but in order to continue to expand his merits, but also to make himself immortal, he built a Qin platform here, and asked for the elixir here, so this river is also called Qinkou River because of Qin Tian. ”

Zhang Yiqing paused when he said this, and I couldn't help but ask: "Master Zhang, if you say so, is the person who came alive in the Qinkou River Qin Shi Huang?" ”

Zhang Yiqing did not deny or affirm, but diverted the topic and said: "Qin Huai, your father is awake now, do you want to see your father?" ”

I immediately said I certainly wanted to.

Zhang Yiqing smiled and said, "Then I'll teach you a method." ”

I asked, "How?" ”

Zhang Yiqing said to me: "Understand that during the day, you light three incense sticks in front of your house, and these three incense sticks cannot be extinguished from morning to night, and when it comes to night, you call your father's name, shout three times, and after three sounds, if there is no movement, you don't shout." ”

"Can I see my dad then?"

Zhang Yiqing said: "The key is that the three incense sticks should not be extinguished. ”

"How can it not be destroyed?"

Zhang Yiqing smiled, didn't go down, and said instead: "As long as the three incense sticks are not extinguished, I will definitely have a way for you to see your father." ”

After Zhang Yiqing finished speaking, he walked outside: "You guys rest early, I'll do something." ”

Zhang Yiqing didn't wait for me to continue talking, he walked directly outside, I wanted to say something, but Zhang Yiqing didn't give me a chance at all, I am now more and more curious about Zhang Yiqing, and I came and went in a hurry.

And how can I keep the three incense sticks alive tomorrow, and will I really be able to see my dad tomorrow? This question came to my mind.
