It is rumored that there is a great river in this world that shuttles between the two worlds of yin and yang, which is called the river of immortality. It is a branch of the Yellow Springs, but it is also extremely large, and every day, those ghosts who are trapped by the world and cannot be reincarnated finally give up the afterlife and wander aimlessly, until they see this eternal rushing river, as if they feel something, and throw themselves into the river of immortality. The soul flows down the river into the Yellow Spring, and finally sinks into the depths of the Yellow Spring, becoming a member of the Yellow Spring who silently endures pain.

Legends are always ambiguous, and I've never been to the real underworld, at most I've only seen it once in a fantasy. Whether there is really a yellow spring in the underworld or two theories, I have always thought that the immortal river is fake.

And according to rumors, the reason why it is called the Immortal River is because this river has been running between the Yin and Yang worlds for countless years and will never dry up. Some people even say that if a living person enters the river of immortality and drinks a sip of the water of the river of immortality, they will live forever.

The immortal river, which I always thought was fictional, actually appeared in front of me, and even though I saw a lot of strange things, I was surprised to grow my mouth.

In the Liao Dynasty, especially in the era when the Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan was in power, there were rumors about the Immortal River in the Liao State for a time, and even evolved into a belief for a time. At that time, it was believed that if you become a brave warrior, you can see the Immortal River after death, and the gods that exist in the Immortal River will bestow immortal souls on these warriors, allowing them to protect the Liao Kingdom forever. Of course, in the end, the Liao State was still destroyed, but the legend of the Immortal River in the Central Plains may have arisen from that time.

So if this legend really spread from the Liao and Song dynasties, and I saw this big river that was almost exactly the same as the rumor, perhaps, they really worshipped the real immortal river.

I looked out at the river beyond the cliffs, at the spirits waiting on the edge of the river, and I was a little unaccustomed to their orderly appearance. Why not scramble to jump into the river? Queue, what exactly is queuing for?

When I was curious, I didn't notice that the soul of the Khitan warrior actually walked behind me step by step, and suddenly pushed me off the cliff the moment I turned around.

I'm still yin by this guy, the appearance I made before is fake, this push is its real purpose, and the moment I let down my vigilance, I was killed!

The body fell down, the distance of ten meters was very short, and the time to fall was estimated to be one or two seconds. I didn't have time to think about it, so I immediately got my hands in luck, and then pressed against the wall, and the whole wall immediately sank into a piece, so I grabbed my falling body violently, but my arm still trembled uncontrollably, and almost broke.

Looking down, it was about five or six meters from the ground, and then looking up, the ghost of the Khitan warrior was a little surprised when he saw that I didn't fall to death, waved his hands and shouted at me for a long time, and then retracted his head and disappeared.

The whole person is hanging in the air, and it is okay to climb up, but I am afraid that the guy is waiting on it, and if I climb up and just show my head and shine on my head, it may kill me directly, but climb down, and there are ghosts all around, in case I find that I am a big living person, and the ghosts riot, then I might as well fall to death, at least not so painful.

It's not up, it's not down, you can't get stuck in the middle, but just as I was thinking, the Khitan warrior who had just retracted his head on it actually walked out again, holding a few stones as big as the mouth of a bowl and throwing them at my head.

"Fuck, you're waiting for me......"

As soon as I scolded, my arm was hit by a stone, and my body fell down, but fortunately, the height of five or six meters was not too exaggerated, and I only scratched a little skin on my knee after falling to the ground, but it was difficult to climb up, if I was lucky, it would be okay, but the ghost was waiting on it, and it was estimated that it would not allow me to climb the hill so easily.

After coming down, I patted off the dust on my body and had to find other ways to go. Looking around, it was dark, but the gray ghosts could see it very clearly. They stood in my eyes like lighthouses in the dark ocean.

I stood up cautiously and flashed my flashlight, and the worst happened. When it fell, it was estimated that it hit the flashlight, and the bulb was smashed, even if there was electricity, it was useless. I had to put a flashlight in my bag and fumbled around. From time to time, he activated his breath, lit his palm, and looked around.

It felt like a horizontal cliff where I had just fallen, a section of the Immortal River right next to it, and where I was now might be an unknown area that no one had ever discovered before. Whether Mr. Tang did it on purpose or not, but now that the roadmap is useless, I can only find a way out by feeling.

After walking for about ten minutes, I was lucky to see ghosts, so I tried to avoid them. But if I can't find a way out, I'm afraid I will end up with no luck.

The river was so loud that I couldn't hear anything around me, and my heart was beating fast, alerting if a ghost would notice me. After walking carefully along the wall for nearly half an hour, I still did not leave the range of the Immortal River, however, the road ahead was broken!

A long line of ghosts blocked my path, and the ghosts lined up, blocking my way.

"Fuck it."

I'm so upset, isn't that going to drive me to death? I can only turn back, but when I look back, I immediately feel a chill down my spine, there is a large group of ghosts floating towards me in front of me, they haven't seen me yet, after all, I am hidden in the dark, but the dense gray dots in the air, I can see very clearly.

There is no way ahead, there is a tiger behind, it seems that God is trying to force me to death.

The ghost is getting closer and closer, I can only retreat step by step, but soon there is no room to retreat, my hand is pressed on the demon hunting crossbow, but I understand very well in my heart, as long as I make a move, the first thunder arrow shoots out, and the electric light explodes instantly, and the consequence is the riot of all evil ghosts, this head can't be opened, but it's time to have to open.

What to do? What to do!

I shouted in my heart, and at that moment, the auditory hallucinations in my ears suddenly sounded, and I shouted, "Diagonally behind, there is a hole." ”

Accustomed to this strange phenomenon, I turned my head without hesitation and groped around the wall diagonally behind me, and sure enough, there was a hole about half a meter high near the ground, and I looked inside, and there was a fire in my hand, the hole was quite deep, but it allowed me to escape for the time being. Hurriedly threw the backpack into it, and then bent down and crawled into the hole.

The demons behind me flew closer and closer, and as they approached me, I burrowed into the cave and gathered my feet, and the ghosts floated through the mouth of the cave and almost found me.

I exhaled a long breath, every time I escaped death, it seemed very cool, but in fact, I had to sweat all my face, and I would not have to kneel if I had a heart attack!

Lying in the hole, with the flame in the hand to the front, in the firelight, this cave is secluded and mysterious, I climbed along the hole to the inside, about ten meters, the front gradually opened up, the terrain slowly downward, I almost did not hesitate, along the sliding cave into the interior, to the bottom of the cave with the fire light to shine around. I was surprised that there were traces of human existence here.

First there was a simple torch made of straw and wood on the wall, but it looked like it had burned many times, and there were signs of carbonization at the top, so I lit the torch again, and it took a long time before the flame stabilized, and I took it in my hand and looked around, and in the center of the cave was a bed made of clothes and straw for an unknown number of years, and there were some books next to it, which looked very old, and there were a few moldy steamed buns and a dusty backpack in the corner.

But there was no human figure, not even a body or bones. I walked to the edge of the pile of books and looked down, most of them were written in traditional characters, and when I looked at the colophon, I was shocked that they were all books published and printed during the Republic of China, and a large part of them were about the secret history and architectural research of the Liao Dynasty.

And next to this pile of books, a leather-faced notebook caught my attention, and when I opened it, it was written on the title page: Ghost Town Survey Diary. The following signature is actually Professor Xu Tianwang!
