Chapter 172: The Bell
I looked at Huaibei in confusion, only to see him say expressionlessly: "Actually, when the corpse fell, this old man ran outside, and after I found it, he went to the village again." ”
"Then why didn't he run away again?" I wondered.
"Ordinary people will definitely be frightened when they see the corpse that suddenly fell from the tree and the nonsense in this old man's mouth, but the moment he recognized you, the change in his pupils was obviously extremely scared, and he would choose to give up and escape."
"He's afraid of me?" I disagreed.
Huaibei shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm afraid of your grandfather." ”
"Moreover, the footprints in the passage leading to the crypt are very mixed, and Yao Banxian did not step on them alone."
I was stunned and wondered, "You mean, apart from a few of us, he has also brought others in?" ”
Huaibei shook his head: "It's those corpses in the crypt, the mud on the feet of the corpses is very thick, and there are mud stains on the body, all of which were thrown out and stepped on in the passage, this old man should not just be guarding the corpses here, I don't know what to do with them out." ”
My mind was confused, the last time I saw Da Zhuang in Sanchawan, did he walk out from here?
So are they human beings or corpses, all the people in a village died in the flood of the Yellow River, but they inexplicably appeared in the crypt of this Liujia Village, what is Grandpa doing, does he really have a way to return these dead corpses to the sun?
"This old man is not shallow, he can go at any time if he wants to, it must be that your grandfather has done something here to limit his range of activities, maybe this so-called river moat array is to trap him."
After that, he looked around, and said lightly: "The qi in this village gathers but does not disperse, the vitality flows, and the dead qi does not exist, but the lonely yin does not give birth, and the solitary yang does not grow, which is contrary to the theory of feng shui, and it also disturbs the avenue of yin and yang between heaven and earth. ”
"Could it be that this is the Great Array of River Protection?" I hesitated.
Huaibei shook his head and said: "Anger can't trap the living, so you can only cover up the dead corpses, or your grandfather wants these dead corpses not to be discovered by some existence, and when he comes back to resurrect them, only this one statement can explain it now." ”
At this time, the night is quiet, the moon and stars are scarce, and the sound of the Yellow River flowing in the ears is intermittently sounded, which adds a little coolness to the quiet night.
I rubbed my head and said, "I don't care about it for now, it's important to get down to business right now." ”
Then he looked at Jin Xiaofa and said, "When will the boat you arranged arrive?" ”
Jin Xiaofa looked at the time, patted his head and said, "Damn, it is estimated that it has arrived." ”
The four of them walked towards the river, and before they reached the river beach, they saw that the river not far away was brightly lit, and groups of awning boats lit the lights on the water of the Yellow River back and forth.
"Holy shit, which of these you arranged?"
I hid behind a ruin, stared at the brightly lit river with wide eyes, and then saw Jin Xiaofa swallow and muttered: "Damn, I told them to keep a low profile, how did they get such a big battle." ”
"Fart, these are all people from Kinmen, it is estimated that the people you arranged have already sunk to the bottom of the river to feed the fish."
I scolded on my lips, but in my heart I hung and hung, according to this posture, Kinmen decided that the extradition of the old man would appear in this area of the river basin, and did not give outsiders a chance at all, but if they did this, they were not afraid that the formation would be too big, and the old man would not dare to come out?
At this time, I vaguely heard a faint bell from a long distance.
I couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the other three, except for Jin Xiaofa, Red Carp and Huaibei also frowned at this time, and their eyes fell to the farthest part of the river, obviously hearing the bell.
At the same time, the arms exposed to the air felt a little cold, like a river breeze, and subconsciously touched it with his hand, and he felt more water stains on his skin.
"Foggy?"
Another unhurried bell echoed faintly in the air, this time much louder than before, like the first morning bell of the temple to greet the dawn at dawn, swinging leisurely and splashing on the surface of the river.
Not only was Jin Xiaofa stunned at this moment, but the people on the river also obviously heard the bell, and the noisy noise suddenly quieted down, and everyone stopped their current figures, poked their heads and looked in the direction where the bell came.
The bell was blown by the river wind from a distance, and in the direction of the wind, I saw that at the end of the river, as if at the junction with heaven and earth, a faint layer of mist was faintly raised, spread on the river surface and soaked layer by layer, and was caught in the wind and slowly floated towards everyone.
There was no movement at all during the whole process, and when they saw that the mist was approaching and had turned into a fog that had covered the sky and the sun, it was too late for the people on the river to escape, and they were quietly swept into it, and in the blink of an eye, they could see nothing in front of them except for the thick fog.
The four of them opened their mouths wide, all this came too suddenly, their eyes stared at the white fog that was a stone's throw away from them, and they could faintly hear the bell getting closer and closer, as if there was an ancient ship slowly passing in the fog, accompanied by the sound of "whooshing" water, the sound of the boat moving away gradually and farther away, the dense fog dissipated little by little, leaving us with only an empty canopy boat, and no one could see it.
The dense boats are still lit up, rising and falling on the river, and a ghost shadow can't be seen, the whole scene looks too weird, as if returning to the Huangquan River all of a sudden, the ghost boats that only see ghosts and no people are very similar to the scene in front of them.
After I came to my senses, I swallowed my saliva and turned my head to look at Huaibei and Hongli, and found that in addition to shock, there was a touch of doubt in their eyes.
I knew that they thought of the iron-clad ghost boat they had encountered in Eighteen Mile Pu, but looking at the empty river, I knew that no matter what it was, it was a great favor to us by chance, and now was the best time to enter the river.
After informing them of my thoughts, a few of them nodded, looked at the quiet riverbank, and no longer hesitated, and ran down towards the river.
Few people set foot near Liujia Village, the river beach is full of knee-thick river mud, walk up a foot deep and a shallow foot, and wait until the river, many boats have already gone down the river, in the direction of Sancha Bay piece by piece disappeared from view.
"Where are you going?"
Jin Xiaofa gasped, his face flushed, and said: "If you go downstream, you will definitely be discovered by the people of Jinmen, and if you go upstream, who knows what evil things will appear over there, it doesn't feel good." ”
"Upstream, there must be a demon when things go wrong, maybe Feng Yi's grave or the extradition of the old man is there."
I said and plunged directly into the river, and picked up a canopy boat that was slowly drifting towards me, and when I got on the boat, I grabbed the boat wormwood lying on the bow of the boat, and swept my eyes around, and after making sure that there was no one on the river, I propped the boat to the shore and picked up the three of them.
After everyone arrived, Huaibei frowned while twisting the water on his body and said, "Do you think this fog and the boat in the fog will be the same as last time, and it will come over?" ”
I thought about it for a while and said: "It shouldn't be, the boat came to us last time, and people will definitely not stop if they don't get on the boat, this time it should be Feng Yifen's side of the situation, let's hurry up, maybe we can catch up." ”
Holding the boat upstream, shuttling among hundreds of canopy boats, the red carp and Huaibei stood beside me, always paying attention to the situation in the boat passing through on both sides, and when they completely left the boat flow, turned their heads and did not find that there were ships chasing in the same direction behind them, and when they were relieved, they heard Huaibei say: "Where is going forward?" ”
I was slightly stunned, when I was a child, the farthest distance I followed my grandfather out of the boat was near Liujia Village, and I never went any further.
However, I have heard my grandfather mention a mouthful, after Liujia Village to the upstream less than ten kilometers of position, there is a whirlpool formed by the topography, sandwiched between the two mountains, every time the water rises, the whirlpool will occupy the whole river basin, pulling the river water to continue to whirl, the boat can not work, people and animals are not close, the people in this area call it: the eye of the river.
