"Inside the mountains? Is this mountain Niubei Mountain? I asked.

I know that the Blood Spring River is going to pass through Niubei Mountain, so there is a hole in this mountain. When we walk outside the mountain, we can hear the sound of water flowing in the mountain, is this mountain hollow?

We followed Wang Po and walked some distance along the foot of the mountain. At this time, the sky was thundering, the wind was howling, and it seemed that a heavy rain was coming.

Finally, after we had crossed a dirt slope, a river lay in front of us.

The river was very wide, and it was not the same as the place where Fat Dahai and I got on the boat that day.

"Is this the river we saw that day?" Fat Dahai also asked.

"This is the Blood Springs River, the same river you saw that day. The Blood Spring River flows around the village, wide in some places and narrow in others. For so many years, the people guarding the mountain have been trying to find the stone gate through the Blood Spring River, but nothing else has been found except for the lives of some people. Wang Po explained.

I asked, "Grandma Wang, what is there behind the stone gate that can make these people value it so much." ”

Wang Po shook her head: "I really don't know this, I only know that your grandfather's soul and your lost yang fire may be there." Because I am not from the Xu family, I don't know what secrets are inside the stone gate. ”

I watched the river rush downstream, rushing downstream, with a deafening rumbling sound. From time to time, the waves crashed against the banks and mountains, thumping, and splashing water fell on us. The ground beneath our feet and the mountains next to us seemed to be shaking.

The sheer size of the formation, combined with the terrifying gloom of the sky, gave me a sense of the end of the world.

"Grandma Wang, is there a boat? How are we going to get there? "I looked at the raging river and was a little frightened.

Wang Po waved her hand: "Don't worry, we have to wait for someone." I don't have the power to get you out of here. ”

I nodded, knowing that the person Wang Po was referring to should be the son she had with her grandfather, that is, the bearded man named Wang Zi.

This Wang Zi and Wang Po should have been in contact all the time, but I don't know how they are connected. But the relationship between them feels a little strange to me, as if it is not as close as a normal mother and son.

I remember when I talked to Wang Zi at that time, he once said that he would not want to return to Shoushantun even if he died.

If there was his own mother in Shoushantun, how could he say such a thing. And though he told us to come to the princess. But he never mentioned that Wang Po was his mother.

I have questions, but I don't want to ask too much, so I can only wait patiently. As the minutes ticked by, I watched as the upper and lower reaches of the Blood Spring River were pitch black. There was also a layer of fog on the riverbank, and visibility was poor.

There was no boat to be seen on the river. I can't help but feel anxious, Xu Changhe is the patriarch of Shoushantun after all, even if Xu Meilu and Xu Dongyang are on our side, and Xu Laogou and Xu Errat are Xu Changhe's accomplices, if they find out that Xu Changhe has been attacked, they will definitely take measures

Shi's.

The princess seemed to be in a hurry, too, and she paced the riverbank from time to time, her eyes fixed on the upper reaches of the river.

At this moment, suddenly a bolt of lightning struck through the sky.

In the flash of lightning, I took advantage of the light to find the shadow of a boat on the river.

"It's coming. Quick, ready to get on board. Wang Po shouted.

After the lightning, it was dark again on the river. But there should be a light on that boat, glowing a faint white light. Then there was a thunderclap that resounded through the air and buzzed my ears. And the light of the boat on the river waves, like a sharp arrow in the dark night, shot at our side at great speed.

Soon, the boat was drifting close to us, near the riverbank.

At the stern of the boat stood a man, the bearded man. He wore a hat on his head, wore a robe, held a bamboo wormwood, and stood on the boat, with the demeanor of a general. It looks very majestic.

Wang Zi...... Wang Zi? "The Wang Po next to me, when she saw Wang Zi, was a little excited, and kept chanting her name in her mouth.

Wang Zi didn't seem to see Wang Po, but just shouted at us: "What are you stunned about, get on the boat." ”

I noticed that the boat that Wang Zi drove today was not the boat of that day.

This is a canopy boat, which can often be seen in the water towns in the south of our country, and is named because the canopy is painted black. I remember in which book someone described this kind of awning boat as the spirit of the water town, and even more so the scenery of the water town.

But now I see the canopy boat driven by Wang Zi, but there is no scenery to speak of. On the contrary, I felt that the ship was full of gloomy energy from the inside out.

This awning boat has two canopies in the front and rear, and in the bow position, a white lamp is hung. It is somewhat similar to the two hanging at the door of Yizhuang. In addition, in the bow of the ship, there is also a black spirit flag. The flags on the spirit flags were blown by the wind.

I immediately thought of the carriage we were sitting in, and I had seen this kind of black spirit banner before. This spirit flag seems to have become the symbol of this Wang Zi.

The hull of the canopy boat was jet black, like a thick cloud of ink dotting the riverbank in the night.

At this time, we were not allowed to take a closer look, and the princess also urged us to get on the boat quickly.

Fat Dahai and I jumped on the awning boat one after the other.

As soon as the hull of the ship shook, Wang Zi picked up the bamboo artemisia and was about to start the boat on the shore.

"Wait." I shouted, and I saw Wang Po standing on the shore, her eyes kept looking at Wang Zi, as if she had something to say. But Wang Zi never looked at Wang Po, which made Wang Po stand a little embarrassed, opened her mouth, but didn't speak.

Wang Zi was stunned for a moment and looked at me.

I pointed to Wang Po and asked him, "That's your mother, don't you see it?" ”

Wang Zi's face changed: "What's the matter with you?" If you want to go, go, if you don't go, let me get out. ”

Wang Po hurriedly shouted at me: "Yangzi, you don't have to worry about anything else, you hurry up and find the stone gate and bring back your grandfather's soul smoothly." ”

Wang Zi couldn't help but say, the bamboo artemisia was on the bank of the river, and the boat turned around on the water and galloped towards the lower reaches of the Blood Spring River.

Just as the hull of the ship gradually left the bank and reached the middle of the river. Fat

The sea suddenly pointed to the shore and shouted, "Boss, look. ”

I was startled to notice that there were several figures swaying on the bank of the river we had just left. and there was a voice of shouting. It's just that because the wind is so loud now, I can't hear it very clearly.

"It can't be Xu Changhe's gang chasing after them, right?" I'm a little weak-hearted.

Wang Zi snorted: "Don't worry." Even they can't catch up here. You go to the cabin and sit down. ”
