After nearly two kilometers of travel, we arrived at the edge of the jungle, and outside the forest was a river intertwined with stars, which was really a hundred miles of flowing rivers, and the rivers intersected, and the rivers did not distinguish between each other, each river was a tributary of each other, and each river was the backbone of each other.

The river water looks quite clear, but above the river, there are also blue-gray ghost clouds, and this generation of ghosts is full of ghosts, and there is a dangerous atmosphere everywhere.

Qiao Sanye stood on the edge of the river array and looked at it for a few moments, and then whispered: "I really don't even have a place to hide, so I have to spend a few hiding talismans." ”

The master took out a concealment talisman and pasted it on Qiao Sanye's back, and then he and I performed the concealment technique together, Lu Shengcai already had a horn talisman on his body, as long as he used light body kung fu, he could hide his body.

The group of four people hid their bodies and quickly touched the tidal flats, the river beach here was divided into pieces by the rivers, the wet mud under their feet was soft, and the soles of their feet would leave a deep imprint, and everyone didn't dare to rush too quickly, so they could only follow Qiao Sanye to move forward slowly.

I hadn't gone far before I saw through the mist on the river beach the rat demons that had appeared outside the forest earlier, carrying sedan chairs and walking lightly and lightly towards the jade bridge.

There was a thick air of death floating on the bridge deck, as if the bridge body was not made of white marble, but made of the white bones of dead people ground into powder, and then glued together.

Qiao Sanye raised his arm in front of him and motioned for everyone to stop.

At this distance, since we can see the rat demon, even with the blessing of the concealment technique, the rat demon may still find us.

When the rat demon carried the sedan chair to the bridge, a mournful sound suddenly echoed on the river beach, as if thousands of children were whispering in unison.

This voice is all too familiar to me, and it rings in my head every time Yunshang uses her telekinesis.

In the past, I only heard voices, but this time, a large figure appeared in front of me.

In the river around the white stone bridge, a large group of ghost babies are slowly crawling out, they are like being pressed by some invisible force, they can only crawl slowly like shelled turtles, and after climbing ashore, they are lined up in two long lines in front of and behind the stone bridge, leaving a dark road in the middle for the sedan chair to pass.

When the rat demon carried the sedan chair to the center of the bridge, several ghost babies suddenly stood up like clockwork, and the sound of gongs and drums and suona sounded out of thin air at the same time, and the familiar ballad was also rippling on the river beach.

"The grass by the river is yellow,

The trees on the mountain withered,

The moon in the night is white and pale.

The bones in the legs do suona,

A white-skinned drum on his head.

The sedan chair is on the white jade bridge,

The wind blows in the shade,

The lady laughed.

Suona, suona, suona, ticking.

Big drums, big drum ”

When I heard this ballad before, I just felt a little uncomfortable, but I never felt so eerie as it is now.

Just listening to the sound made me feel like the pores all over my body were constricted, and my blood felt like it was about to be coagulated.

I didn't need to be reminded by others, I also knew that it was the rich yin qi on the river beach that affected my mind, so I immediately took a deep breath, condensed my mental power, and guarded the spiritual platform.

The noise of gongs and drums and the sound of yin children's singing echoed in my head over and over again, and I could only force my mind to steady myself and continue to look at the stone bridge.

The sedan chair got off the stone bridge and quickly passed through the ghost baby, and the speed of the rat demon suddenly increased, and by the time the song had been sung three or four times, they had carried the sedan chair and disappeared into the distant fog.

The ghost babies crawled to the ground again and slowly burrowed back into the river.

Qiao Sanye sighed sullenly: "Why are there so many river children here?" ”

He Xiaozi is the local name of Qiao Sanye's hometown, which refers to those ghost babies who died at birth, and later their bodies were thrown into the river, and their souls were washed by the yin wind for many years and turned into ghosts.

The master also frowned, but didn't say much.

In fact, even if Master didn't say it, I thought about how those ghost babies came about. Over the years, that playboy doesn't know how many wives he has married. I am afraid that every woman has been pregnant many times, and the corpse of every fetus has been thrown into this Xingluo River Array.

Qiao Sanye glanced at the Baishi Bridge twice, and sighed: "There are too many rivers near the bridge, it looks like we have to go around." ”

The master said, "Let's not follow, let's go directly from Donglin and go to the mountain view road, the rat demon will take that road sooner or later." ”

Hearing Master's words, I suddenly had a feeling that he and Third Master Qiao seemed to have deliberately studied the environment in the area of Baili Yunchuan a long time ago, and they had already known about Yunsheng's selection.

Qiao Sanye was a little worried: "If you go to Donglin, you will have to find the water source after three days, and the water we bring may not be enough." ”

"Save some drink, it should be enough."

As he spoke, Master turned around and walked due east of the river array.

Lu Shengcai caught up with the master in three steps and two steps, and asked, "Grandpa Du, since you know the situation of Baili Yunchuan so thoroughly, you should know where that playboy is, right?" ”

The master shook his head helplessly: "He is hiding so deep that even the scattered people who drew the map can't tell where he is." Silence it, the ghost qi in the river array is pervasive, you don't cultivate, and it is easy to be invaded by the ghost qi when you open your mouth often. ”

This was the last thing the master said before leaving the river array, and after that, he remained silent, and even Third Master Qiao never spoke again.

Looking towards the east side of the river, I could indeed see a dark forest hidden in the mist, and I thought that it would take more than half a day to enter the forest.

But I ignored a problem, the overall topography of the river array is high in the east and low in the west, and looking at the black forest is like staring at the mountains and running horses on the grassland.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountains and running dead horses, using the high-terrain scenery as a reference for distance, is absolutely unreliable.

It took us two full days to walk through such a river formation, and by the afternoon of the next day, the water we had brought had been drunk.

Fortunately, the humidity on the river array was very heavy, and the feeling of thirst was not particularly severe.

It wasn't until we entered the forest that the white sand on the ground separated the forest and the river into two worlds, one dry and one wet, and the extreme dryness immediately made us feel thirsty, and after walking in the forest for two hours, my lips began to crack.

The two days of running in a row made everyone extremely tired, although the master and Qiao Sanye were old, their physical fitness was better than that of young people, and the two of them could still persevere, but Lu Shengcai and I were almost unable to walk.

At this time, Qiao Sanye stopped, turned his head and said to my master: "I must stop and rest and recuperate, after walking such a long way, I am afraid that the two children will not be able to endure it." It just so happens that there is still some soup in the canned food we brought, so let them eat some and moisten their throats. ”

Master also saw that Lu Shengcai and I were really unable to move our legs, so we could only nod and agree, but also instructed us in advance: "The danger here is not comparable to the black forest outside Shejia Valley, don't sleep too deeply, lest you be tricked in the middle of the night." ”
