Chapter 173 Opening the River Lantern Red Envelope Chapter
Thinking of this, I can't help but be clever, could it be that this man-eating fog and the strange ship in the fog all come out of the eye of the river?
The tin ghost boat that appeared last time ended up taking us to the ferry of the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, and if everything that happened just now was caused by the eye of the river, then this is most likely a passage to the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs.
Does Feng Yi's tomb really exist in the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs?
The cool river breeze blowing on my face made my mind gradually sober up, ten kilometers of water is not far away, as long as I don't go against the current, it won't be long with my ability, as long as I can catch up with the people in Kinmen to find that place in advance, the odds will be much greater.
Thinking in his heart, he was not idle at all, and he vigorously supported the boat to stir the river, and with a little starlight, the undulating mountains on the bank slowly slid in the sight, and the river water slapped on the edge of the cliff, splashing white waves, and the river surface that had just killed people returned to normal at this moment.
"Look, look!"
The quiet air was soon broken by Jin Xiaofa's exclamation, and the kid threw his head into the canopy to pack up his wet clothes as soon as he got on the boat, and he didn't move for a long time, and then ran out with a panicked face, and carried a black lantern in his hand, handed it to everyone and said, "Look at what this thing is?" ”
Huaibei glanced at him suspiciously, reached out and took the black lantern in his hand, held it in front of his eyes and touched it, sniffed it with his nose, and said, "Snake skin." ”
At this time, I also slowed down the movement of my hand curiously, and asked with some confusion, "Snakeskin lantern?" ”
Huaibei nodded, took out a lighter from his arms, took off the lampshade and lit the wick, and then put it on again.
The flames jumped slightly in the lampshade, and the light was dim, only illuminating the area of less than a meter under the feet, but it clearly reflected the movement of the meridians in the outer skin, as well as the scars of the scales being peeled off.
"It's snakeskin."
I muttered, stretched out a hand and gestured at it, and found that the scales in it were far beyond the range of my palm, and I couldn't help but gasp, how big a snake would be to produce such exaggerated scales.
However, from the perspective of the scope of illumination, it feels that the use of this snakeskin lantern is not like lighting, but other uses.
At this time, I suddenly smelled a faint stench in my nose, like the fishy stench emitted by the corpse that had just begun to decompose, lingering on the tip of my nose for a long time.
Not only me, but a few of the people on the ship seemed to smell it, frowning and looking for the source of the smell, and finally all of them fixed on the snakeskin lantern.
Even Huaibei was stunned for a moment, staring at the snakeskin lantern in his hand and sniffing his nose, his face changed slightly: "Corpse oil? ”
I'm a little confused, snakeskin lamp, corpse oil wax, what are these people doing on the boat?
"Is it human oil?" I asked Huaibei Province.
Huaibei shook his head, raised his nose and sniffed it again, and said, "It's the same as the snakeskin, it's all taken from the same giant snake, and it's ......."
Just as Huaibei was speaking, he only felt the bottom of the boat shaking slightly, as if something had hit it, and then he saw a large school of fish swimming in the water around the hull of the boat, escaping from the bottom of the boat, and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"How can there be so many fish following?"
I muttered, and a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in my head, and I patted the door of my head and said, "Turn on the river lantern!" ”
Grandpa said when he was alive that there are three treasures for corpse diggers: beating the river whip, tying the corpse rope and turning on the river lantern, which are things that cannot be separated from the body when leaving the boat.
The so-called river lantern is a lantern made of the skin of a strange creature in the Yellow River, which is the first to be murderous, at the top of the Yellow River biological chain, so that other things are frightened at a glance, and they avoid it when they smell it; The second is that you need to stay in the Yellow River for a long enough time, have a certain spirituality, and have a certain status in the Yellow River creatures, and both are indispensable.
The lanterns made of the skins of this creature, coupled with the candles made of the oil of its corpses, the restless things in the river are frightened and far away, and for the corpse diggers, it will save a lot of unnecessary trouble when going out to the boat to retrieve the corpses.
And the snakeskin lantern in Huaibei's hand, judging from the traces of scales on it, its size is indescribably huge, even compared with the tail encountered in the Huangquan River before, I am afraid it is not too much.
No wonder the schools of fish at the bottom of the boat scattered as if they had encountered predators, and they were afraid of the snakeskin lantern.
After telling the three of them this, Jin Xiaofa touched his nose and said, "A small lantern didn't expect that there are so many doorways, it seems that this time Dad asked me to come out with me." ”
But then I was a little uneasy and said: "Everything is yin and yang, there is good and there is bad, although this snakeskin lantern can dispel some low-level miscellaneous species, but after all, it is the smell of corpses, in case there are natural enemies in the river basin in this area, or more terrifying creatures than it, I am afraid we will encounter immeasurable trouble." ”
When Huaibei heard this, he immediately took off the lampshade and blew out the candles inside, and then looked in all directions, the surrounding rivers were silent, and he breathed a sigh of relief after not finding anything unusual.
And at this time, in the afterglow, I saw the sparks on the river behind me, as if a boat lit the lamp and began to chase after each other, I was headless, no longer hesitated, picked up the boat and quickly began to row towards the river.
But before the boat could move for a moment, I felt the bottom of the boat "pop" again, and this time it really hit something, and the boat was hanging on the river, and I didn't move a single bit, no matter how hard I tried.
"Yes."
I cursed, and I felt a slight upturn in the very center of the awning boat, as if some behemoth had lifted the entire top of the boat off the water, swaying and swaying, and the sound of falling into the water was incessant.
"I'll go down and take a look!"
Huaibei said that he was about to jump off the boat, but I quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute." ”
At this time, the hull of the ship was getting higher and higher out of the water, and while trying to prevent himself from falling to the ground with the sway, he looked around, and saw that on the water around the hull, a huge huge shadow began to gradually appear, the scope of which was the size of a football field, and little by little the top of the boat was lifted off the water, gradually revealing a huge dark green turtle shell, scattered with white flowers, shining in the moonlight.
"Fuck, what a big king!"
Jin Xiaofa screamed, his body fell crookedly under the boat, Huaibei saw this and flew forward to reach out and grab his neck, and dragged him back to the boat, but at this time, with the violent swaying of the ship's board, the soles of his feet shook, and he fell into the water.
At that moment, I felt my heart jump out of my throat, shouting Huaibei's name loudly, trying to hand the boat artemisia to him but it was too late, watching his body sink into the water little by little, and the splash of the water was splashing.
And at the moment when Huaibei fell into the water, I saw a huge head the size of the head of a truck surface, opened its huge mouth and closed Huaibei's waist, scarlet eyes flashed a dark light, and the body disappeared into the water with the head, and it was no longer visible.
The three of them stood on the boat and were completely stupid, everything happened between the lightning and flint, and there was no time for us to react at all, and when we came to our senses again and wanted to save Huaibei again, the bonus grabbed my arm and said sharply: "You can't fight it!" ”
"But Huaibei ......"
I struggled to jump into the water, but by this time several speeding awning boats had surrounded us, clusters of bright torches illuminating the sight, and dozens of middle-aged strong men looked at us angrily, as if they had no idea what had just happened here.
"Who are you, and why are you on my ship in Kinmen?"
The middle-aged man at the head of the group drank coldly, without the slightest kindness in his eyes, but I listened to the long breath and said: "Passers-by who passed by saw an empty boat, and came up, this is your boat?" ”
The middle-aged man glanced at me suspiciously, glanced at the red carp and Jin Xiaofa again, and said with a sneer: "Three watches in the middle of the night, in the wilderness, how can there be passers-by, bring them to me in front of the palm lamp, and see what the way is!" ”
Listening to the words of the middle-aged man, my heart sank, and I glanced at the red carp, only to see her quietly touch behind her with understanding, and at this time, I saw another small boat swaying with yellow candlelight slowly approaching, and an old man's voice came from the boat, and said lightly: "I said that it was a passerby, let them cross the river." ”()
