I felt like I was stuck in something. I felt like there was a whiff of air around me.

I tried to open my eyes and found myself lying in a whirlpool. The whirlpool was like a large snake, surrounded by a rapidly flowing river, with a hollow center in the center. There's air in it.

The lower half of my body was dipped in water, and the upper half of my body was in the belly of the serpent, breathing greedily.

I looked around, and the white cloth tied to my waist was flying back and forth under the water, and it was very eye-catching.

Only then did I realize that this white cloth was probably a sign. Make our bodies easy to find underwater.

I tried coughing. My voice was muffled in the serpent's belly, and it sounded buzzing.

I looked at Mr. Lu next to me and said, "This thing is really amazing, does it merge into a big snake with water?" Is this the god of water? ”

Mr. Lu did not answer me. But the hemp rope next to him smiled: "Little brother, this is not a big snake, this is a water dragon." ”

I nodded, thinking, "Dragons and snakes look about the same." Saying that the snake is a dragon is indeed much more majestic. "Fork Hua threw blood.

He said, "The river god is imprisoned under the water and cannot come up. This water dragon is nothing more than the transformation of his divine power. However, this divine power is also limited to water. His strength can't get out of the water. It's blocked by the masters. ”

Several of us nodded.

We were carried down by the current, deeper and deeper, avoiding the countless sharp stones and pliable aquatic plants. Eventually, I saw that there were many holes in the bottom of the river. The small ones are the thickness of a thumb. The big ones are like deep wells.

This water dragon came out of one of the wells.

I couldn't help but nod and said, "This place is really hidden. If there is no water god to lead the way, the living will have to drown if they come down. ”

Ma Rope said, "Isn't it? And just after drowning, the soul will be killed by the river here, which is really miserable. ”

Xue Qian interjected: "Then let's go out of the body for a while, there won't be any problems, right?" ”

Ma Rope smiled: "Don't worry, after leaving the body, I will take you to a place where there is no deadly river water." ”

As soon as we entered the deep well, it was completely dark.

The water kept shaking me, my head became more and more dizzy, and I simply closed my eyes and didn't look at anything. Didn't think about anything anymore. Eventually, we stopped. I landed on a rock.

I reached out and touched it, and the stone was damp, but not submerged in water.

I tried to open my eyes and found that we were sitting in a stone room. This stone chamber is surrounded by stone walls on three sides, and it must have been a shallow hole dug in the wall of the well. Outside the stone room is the river, but the miraculous thing is that the river water does not flow into the stone chamber.

Inside the stone chamber is an oil lamp. The light was dim, but it was enough to illuminate.

A pale-faced man was sitting on a stone, his eyes closed, silent. The man's hair was all white, but there were no wrinkles on his face. If you look at the face alone, he looks like a teenager. But I feel that he has gone through all the vicissitudes of life. Like an old man.

He's probably the river god.

The river god asked lightly, "Why are so many people here this time?" ”

He arched his hand to the meditator and said, "This time, I'm here to get the pill." ”

The river god opened his eyes and said happily, "Really? ”

I saw a little strange in his eyes. His pupils were large and took up almost the entire eyeball.

This is what it looks like. Like a dead man.

Perhaps seeing that I was staring at him, the river god smiled at me and said, "Little brother, don't blame. The old man has been trapped here for many years and can't see any light, so he has become this picture of no one and no ghost. ”

He pointed to the oil lamp in the corner of the wall and said, "If it weren't for this lamp, I would have been blind." Hey, even though I'm barely breathing by this lamp, my eyes are still like this. ”

After the river god explained a few words to me, he looked at the hemp rope and said, "Do you remember our agreement?" ”

Ma Rope smiled and said, "Naturally, I remember, after I get all the Danfang, I'll let you out of here." ”

The river god said lightly: "I can't get out of this stone room. In case you take Dan Fang away and fly away, I don't have the ability to chase you. ”

Ma Rope smiled: "You can rest assured of this." In this river, it's up to you. Don't let me go back to shore until I let you out? ”

The river god nodded, and it seemed that he was confident in his ability to be in the river.

He waved his hand at us and said, "Let's get out of our bodies here." ”

Then he sat down cross-legged.

I saw his soul float out of his body, and it was the same as the old man.

Mr. Lu glanced at us, and we all sat down. Then the soul was taken out of the body.

The old man arched his hand to the river god and said, "When I find all the Danfang, I'll let you out." ”

The river god closed his eyes again and said lightly, "Then I'll wait for you here." ”

The old man's body fluttered into the water, and I saw the river around me merge with his soul. It's an amazing feeling.

The old man said to us, "The river god has been operating here for many years, and the water in this deep well will not harm our souls. Come with me. ”

Then, his spirit began to dive down.

Xue Qian whispered, "Mr. Lu, something is wrong with this." ”

Mr. Lu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xue Qian said: "If the soul of this river can't follow up, the old man and those people won't be able to come down to help us." And the woman of Anle Temple, even if she can come down, there are hundreds of holes in the bottom of this river, and she doesn't know where we are. ”

Ever since I entered the river, I've been nervous. Now after Xue Qian's little bit, I immediately understood what I was worried about.

I looked at the old man in front of me and said, "Along the way, he gave me the feeling that he had no last resort. From the time we came to this Shennu Village, we thought we had autonomy, but every step was restricted by him and entered the trap he had prepared. ”

"He must have guessed that we had invited a helper, so he brought us here. Mr. Lu, our situation is very dangerous. ”

Mr. Lu looked at me and Xue Qian, then patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, with me here, everyone is safe." ”

The two of us waved our hands and said, "Can you be serious?" ”

Mr. Lu said, "Don't worry. Even if it's just me, I can deal with this terrible ghost. plus a Zhao Mang, he should be able to fight him. ”

Mr. Lu said this very strictly, and seemed to be very credible. But we know him so well that we never believe what comes out of his mouth.

Xue Qian and I both let out a long sigh and followed the ghost in front.

Xue Qian was silent for a while, and asked, "The room where the river god stays is not too big, and there shouldn't be much air, how long can that light be on?" ”

The old man said, "Every three days, the river god will use the water dragon to ventilate. ”

It dawned on us, "I see." ”

We dived for an unknown amount of time, and the old man led us to another cave.

Xue Qian whispered: "Why does this water look like a honeycomb underneath? After a while, this terrible ghost didn't have to kill us, just left us here, and we couldn't find a way out when we went around. ”

Mr. Lu smiled: "Don't worry, I have a good memory, and I remember all the roads here." ”

Xue Qian said: "You won't remember a few more turns." ”

After a few seconds, I felt lighter. We came out of the water.

A long, narrow cave appeared in front of us, and people stood on both sides of the cave. The men leaned straight against the cave wall. Old and young, men and women, all dead. Judging by their appearance, they should be from Shennu Village.

The old man turned around, smiled, and said, "Do you see these people?" All of them have been sacrificed over the years. After drowning in the river, he was sent here by the river god. Half of their souls were refined and swallowed by the river god, and the other half was sealed in their bodies, making them walking corpses that had no mind, but could be controlled by me. ”

When we heard this, we immediately paused: "It turns out that the old man's helper is not outside, but here, and it is these corpses." ”
