The summer sky is bright, the sky is blue and far-reaching, the sun is like a fireball baking the earth, the sun is so strong, the sky and the earth are in a dazzling light. The sun shines on the rippling river, shining with ten thousand points of golden light, like a crystal star, naughtily winking at people.

Looking around, the eyes are full of greenery, and the green in the forest is thick, as if it can pinch out the water. On the bank of the river, the cool breeze was blowing, and the clothes were fluttering, but they couldn't shake the excitement and enthusiasm of the dozens of travelers in the group, and along the green path leading to the bridgehead, a string of laughter was thrown behind. The leaves are rustling, the grass is rustling, the spring breeze also wants the lover's hand, the peach and plum are green, the pear and white melon are yellow, the red is the peach blossom, the white is the pear blossom, the plum blossom, and the yellow is the pumpkin flower. Birds singing on the flowers and trees, grooming, chattering, branches shaking, petals floating, dripping, sprinkling, swaying, fluttering, a fairyland on earth.

Finally, a refreshing wind blew, and the trees sang a cheerful song, and the river surface shone again, as if wearing a silver armor, and the little fish hurriedly jumped out of the water, enjoying the cool wind, and the willow tree also shook its long branches, feeling the charm of the wind to the fullest......

"The wind is enchanting on the riverside, the hibiscus is red, and the green willows are like waves......" Mu Qingyang recited half a poem, and also attached himself to the elegance of the style.

This not wide moat around me has been around P County for hundreds of years. The wind here in the northwest is high and the clouds are light, and the land is also ten years and nine droughts, and he is accustomed to seeing the cracked farmland like tortoiseshells in ten miles and eight towns and the grass in the small courtyard of the farmhouse.

Walking along the riverside, his fingers brushed all the way through the flowers on the side of the road, and his delicate face couldn't help but appear in his heart - "Qingqing, are you okay?" ”

Yes, now Mu Qingyang, who has been living in seclusion in the countryside to investigate those demons who have slipped through the net, has been more than a year in the blink of an eye......

After the impermanence incident, he was discovered by Zhong and Dong Ergui and rescued back to the Yin and Yang Division. A dream-like shopping made the two great gods of black and white impermanence lose their lives in the sea of fire, although it was a fluke that allowed him to escape, but the non-stop black and white qi in his body still reminded him that he is not just living for himself now, he still has an important mission to complete.

According to the news transmitted by the two ghosts, Mu Qingyang traveled all the way to find the demons and ghosts that slipped away in the previous battle, and he knew that if he didn't do this well, he was afraid that he would not be at ease in this life.

As for one of the reasons why he is hidden, it is that he is extremely reluctant to affect the people around him anymore.

He found that he was like a broom star, and all his friends who were close to him were more or less infected by his bad luck, and one after another accidents did not say, even the black and white impermanence did not escape this merciless curse, and died in the earthfire magma.

He had been deeply troubled by it for a long time, and finally made up his mind to cut off all of them, and he asked the book spirit to help him seal off this magical space, and when it was transformed until no one but himself wanted to enter and leave the place freely, he let out a long sigh of relief.

He really couldn't afford to lose that kind of blow in an instant, especially when it came to everything related to his mother, lovers, and brothers, and he didn't allow them to do the slightest harm again.

In fact, a long time ago, Mu Qingyang felt that someone was quietly spying on his every move, and when he and his mother met, he was even more surprised to find that even his relatives might be involved. He couldn't help but be afraid, he was afraid that one day he would be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and he would need to kill those familiar faces in the past, this feeling was strong, and his desire to escape became more and more urgent.

In the end, it was the teacher's words that reminded him that it is better to rely on others than on oneself, and only one's own absolute strength is the root of unraveling all the puzzles, as before he always hid behind the backs of others and relied on external help to solve all problems, so he will always be just a cowardly coward, and he will only be despised.

Of course, he didn't hide this matter from the two ghosts in the underworld, he needed someone to communicate with him, and he had to have someone to supply some necessary resources to facilitate his actions.

The work of inspecting those demons has not gone very smoothly, and he has traveled a lot of places over the past year, except for the fact that he just accidentally caught the evil ghost Wei Jia in the early stage, he has still found nothing.

However, Wei Jia still gave him an important clue, there may be an existence he wants to find in P County, S Province, but she doesn't know the specific situation, it's just the news she heard by chance.

Of course, Mu Qingyang will not let go of this hard-won clue, compared to the hearsay of the two ghosts in the underworld and the rumors of those current media, such news is undoubtedly much more reliable.

……

"Someone jumped into the river!"

As soon as he heard someone shouting for help, Mu Qingyang immediately followed the flow of people and ran to the accident site.

The location of the accident was on the west side of the nine-curved bridge in front, and when he arrived, it was already full of black people, and several people were quickly undressing and preparing to enter the water, it seems that the person who committed suicide should not have been rescued.

"Alas! This is the fifth of this year, how did this ghost place feng shui go, something happened. An old man who carried a sword on his back shook his head and muttered.

"But no, since we renovated this bridge here, there is a suicide by jumping into the river every month of the year, and it's really time to catch up with the market......"

"They all say that we have a river god in this river, don't you know? Someone saw it when the bridge was being repaired. Maybe someone has made a taboo......"

"Don't talk nonsense, I know a little bit about this, it's true, the river god here is very ......"

Everyone was talking about it, and Mu Qingyang was listening to it with a full ear.

"River God? Hehe......" he smiled, daring to say that here...... If it's a year, the timing is just right, and it seems that I've come to the right place.

Hunting for curiosity and showing off are the two major disadvantages of human beings, so it didn't take much effort for Mu Qingyang to listen to the legend of the so-called river god......

The repair plan of the bridge began at the end of the previous year, and the team responsible for it is a professional road and bridge construction team, the boss is a southerner surnamed Jiang, and has more than ten years of experience in this kind of project, so the operation was carried out very smoothly, and the foundation has been laid more than two weeks in advance. Just in time for the eve of the Chinese New Year, he sent the workers home, and he took a relative to stay in the local area for the New Year.

said that it was the New Year, but in fact, it was a relationship between giving gifts everywhere. In these years, people who have no way can hardly do the project, and the social atmosphere is like this, and there is no way to do it.

On the construction site is his relative guard, this is Boss Jiang's fourth uncle, an old bachelor, usually likes to drink two sips, but people still have no big mess at work, they are a real person.

Every morning, the fourth uncle will go to the construction site for a walk, one is to digest breakfast, and the other is due to the habit of patrolling over the years.

However, when he arrived at the construction site the next day of Chinese New Year's Eve, he found that something big had happened - the foundations of the bridges that had only been repaired not long ago were actually destroyed!

It is not appropriate to say that they are all ruined, but in fact, it is more appropriate to say that they are all ruined, and the eight shallow foundations are like bowling piles that have been knocked apart, revealing a huge gap in the middle, and even the thick layer of ice on the river surface has cracked a wide crack, which runs through the middle of the entire foundation.

The hard work of several months was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the fourth uncle knew that this project was over.

He hurriedly pulled Lao Jiang away to look, and Boss Jiang's face changed when he saw it, and he sat on the ground with a white face. He and the fourth uncle didn't talk for a whole day on the construction site, and they kept drinking. The next morning, as if he had made up his mind, he arranged for the fourth uncle to go to the market, bought a few live chickens and came back, and filled a few jars of white rice from the kitchen, and returned to the construction site with these things.

He carefully piled up a small pile of rice, tied up all the live chickens and threw them into the river, and then fell to his knees and whispered for a morning......

After this day, this kind of sacrificial activity continued, and every morning before dawn, he or the fourth uncle would bring live chickens and white rice to worship. The fourth uncle asked Boss Jiang who was offering for, but Boss Jiang just shook his head, but told the fourth uncle that he must not break these things, otherwise there would be a big mess.

The project continued to start after the New Year, and Boss Jiang stayed at the scene day and night, and he required every worker to hang a red cloth strip on his waist when he entered the construction site, and he did not say the reason, but only required that it be handled strictly according to this, and also specially arranged for people to inspect it every day.

Of course, it is a fact that the construction period of several months has been delayed after all, in order to catch up with the progress, Boss Jiang and the fourth uncle rushed forward almost day and night, until the end of the project was finally completed on schedule.

The day before the handover, Boss Jiang quietly called the fourth uncle at night. The two people mysteriously brought live chickens and white rice to the bridge deck to kowtow, and they had adhered to this routine for more than half a year.

But this time, it seems that the fourth uncle is a little nervous, and he is always panicked along the way, and when he goes to the confession, he also looks around and loses the stability of the past.

Boss Jiang kowtowed repeatedly while lying on the bridge, and beckoned his fourth uncle to throw offerings below. The fourth uncle still felt a little distracted, although he did it correctly, but his two eyes were staring directly at the river, as if there was something there.

This time was the last time to make a sacrifice, and Boss Jiang was even more pious than usual, and he kept his head down and didn't dare to raise his head until dawn. But when he raised his head after praying silently, he suddenly found that the fourth uncle beside him suddenly disappeared!

Boss Jiang turned around and ran away like a ghost at that time, and then at the handover ceremony that day, he said that he was sick and did not attend, so he asked a project manager to be a representative to go through the handover procedures. Fourth Uncle Jiang has had no news since this day, and later someone asked, Boss Jiang just cried and didn't say anything, and after going through the settlement procedures, he left in a hurry, and never showed up after that.

Later, someone inquired from the engineering team that this Boss Jiang went home and vaguely mentioned something about the river god after a drink, and kept saying that he was sorry for the fourth uncle Yunyun.

After that, a series of strange things happened here.

On this bridge deck, there have been many men and women who come to talk about love at night, and they have seen something in the water swimming in the dark, very thick and long, about ten meters.

There was a live poultry vendor here who was about to pass by the bridge, but he didn't know what was going on and turned over a tricycle full of chickens and ducks. Later, I finally asked someone to hire a crane to pull it up, only to find that there was no half a day's work, and the chickens and ducks in the car were not even gone, and he searched for a long time along the river in vain.

Some people also say that they saw the strange sight of the Loch Ness monster on the news on the bridge, and it also aroused the interest of a group of people at that time, and people took pictures here all day long.

As for the suicides, they began to happen after July, and the first person to jump into the river was a resentful woman who divorced her husband. It was still broad daylight, and she watched from the bridge and saw a fierce man plunge in, and when the rescuers arrived, the person had already filled his belly and died.

Later, every one or two months, someone came here to commit suicide by jumping into the river, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, as long as they jumped here, they never succeeded in rescuing them out of danger. Some people say that the feng shui here is good, and the probability of suicide success is 100 percent......

The suicide that Mu Qingyang heard about before was a female student, who was only a teenager, probably because she didn't do well in the exam, and she couldn't think of jumping into the river after a quarrel with her family. As expected, the child was not rescued either...... Five people have died here, including her.

……

Mu Qingyang was almost certain that there must be some demon doing something wrong here. Linked back and forth, this is by no means so simple that there is a feng shui problem, as for the so-called river god, he doesn't believe it at all...... The water demon is almost reliable! Will the river god of that family not keep one side safe and harm the local people?

found a hotel in the city, Mu Qingyang slept for a day, and didn't go out until night.

He went all the way to Jiuqu Bridge, and since he had a case in his heart, Mu Qingyang decided to find out tonight.

The side of the Jiuqu Bridge at night is deserted, there are a lot of scary things here, and there are several deaths one after another, although it is suicide, but according to people's old habits, this is a fierce place, it is not suitable for staying and visiting.

When Mu Qingyang arrived here, it was just nightfall, and there were some couples walking in the distance, but once they walked nearby, they stayed away. He didn't think so, you must know that the fewer people here, the easier it is to investigate, and he wishes that no one would bother. However, things in this world often backfire, and there are those who are not afraid of death who are still on the bridge. Dressed in tattered old gray cloth clothes, an old man of no small age leaned on the guardrail, his face covered with mud, and his eyes were dull.

"Probably a bum, right?" Mu Qingyang walked by his side all the way and thought so.

"The mountains are green, the water is blue, and the ghosts on the Jiuqu Bridge are haunted ......"

Hearing this voice that seemed to be whispering, Mu Qingyang stood up suddenly......

"What do you say? Say it again! ”
