I was puzzled by the huge matter, and Sun Shentong was equally puzzled, he couldn't imagine how a person who had seen the dead with his own eyes could appear in front of others in another way. As soon as I said a little, Sun Shentong understood what I meant, and he was willing to embark on the last road he had walked that year.

"I'll go too." Maitreya turned his head to look at me, and then at Sun Shentong.

"Go ahead and figure out the matter of the old lantern." I felt a kind of uneasiness in my heart, once upon a time, I always felt that the secret hidden at the bottom of the river was already the biggest secret in this world, but I don't know why, Sun Shentong's story made me feel that once the matter is revealed, it will also be a great thing. I'd love to see it for myself, but I can't figure it out.

Sun Shentong and Maitreya immediately turned around and hit the road, we stopped outside the Pine Ridge, and I went in alone to look for Zhang Longhu. Zhang Longhu didn't know about the huge matter, and there was no need to ask him, so I asked him about the green horse in the big river.

"I haven't seen that horse." Zhang Longhu was accustomed to seeing strange things all his life, and he didn't feel strange when he heard that horses appeared in the big river.

I remember that Wei Yunlou's gang was fishing for horses in the middle of the river and lured out the green horses with a smoking black stone-like thing. Now there is no way to find Qingma directly, so I can only think of other ways. I told Zhang Longhu in detail about the situation at that time, and wanted to ask him what such a black stone was, which could lead the green horse out of the river.

"That kind of thing, still known to people, is rare." Zhang Longhu thought for a while after hearing this, and said, "According to what you said, that thing may be 'fruit horse belly'." ”

Zhang Longhu's "fruit horse belly" originated in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and was the first thing created by the Taoist priests of Wudou Rice Dao. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the princes and warlords were divided and fought endlessly. When marching and fighting, people eat and chew, and grain and grass are the most important logistical materials. The Taoist priest of Wudou Midao squeezes the juice with the herbs, then refines the herb essence, and then takes the sycamore wood to soak the herb essence, and waits until the wood eats through the grass liquid, and then dries and stores it. It is said that a small piece of such a thing is enough for a war horse to consume for a day. This is a Taoist secret method in the Han and Han dynasties, and few people in later generations know about it.

"Can you refine something like this?"

"You can try."

At this time, the weather began to warm up, and the turf of Pine Ridge had just emerged, so I called Jin Dashao and they picked a lot of grass tips and handed them over to Zhang Longhu. This kind of Danfang is very ancient, and it is not of great use to people now, Zhang Longhu pondered for a long time, boiled out the grass liquid, and soaked a piece of sycamore wood for us. I had important things to do, and I didn't stay long, so I took my leave after I got my things. Zhang Longhu kept sending me outside Songshuling, and when he was leaving, he looked at me and said, "Your killing is getting heavier and heavier." ”

"You can't walk this path without killing people." I sighed and said, "I don't kill people, people will kill me." ”

"If the killing is too heavy, there will be retribution, the natural way, the cause and effect of everything, the cause and effect of evil, and the bitter fruit."

"The people of the Seven Gates, that's it, there are many sins, and I will carry the retribution." I think that Zhang Longhu is an outsider, and he may not be able to understand many worldly things. One thing, there is always someone to pay, to sacrifice, I have no other thoughts, I just hope that everything in the river can end in this generation, in my hands, as for karma, I can no longer think about it.

"That's not what you say, because you don't know when or where the retribution will be." Zhang Longhu shook his head: "If you plant evil causes, you may not have suffered the bitter fruits yourself, or your family, or your children and grandchildren. ”

Zhang Longhu was quite emotional, he was unscrupulous and uninhibited in his prime, but he was happy to take revenge and killed many people. The theory of karma has not been fulfilled in him, but his son Zhang Banshan's life has not been smooth, and without heirs, the Zhang family may be doomed.

I don't cultivate the Tao, I don't recite Buddha, and I don't feel much about cause and effect, but I know that Zhang Longhu has good intentions, and after talking for a while, he took people out of Pine Ridge.

got the "Fruit Horse Belly" given by Zhang Longhu, and there was finally a little hope for the search for Qingma. Han Cheng took people back to Dashawei, and I told him not to show up again for the time being, and asked the Sha Gang to prepare a boat. I don't know which section of the river the green horse is hiding in, so I can only try my luck at the limit. Several people took the same boat, constantly burning the "fruit horse's belly", burning all the way, and there was a faint fragrance of burning plants and trees everywhere they passed.

In a few days, it was at least a hundred and ten miles along the river. It was probably the year with the most strange things along the river, and many people died very strangely, passing through villages along the way, and almost every village could see households doing white things. The more I looked, the more urgent I felt. However, the green horse seemed to have been too frightened the previous time, and walked down the river for more than a hundred miles, without the slightest shadow.

"When is it a head?" Lei Zhenren dragged a piece of fruit horse's belly on the boat and said, "If we can't find it, will we die of old age on the boat?" ”

"Shut up! Crow's beak! Jin Dashao glanced at him: "It doesn't matter if you leave your rotten life there, I'm the one who will do a big deal in the future." ”

Lei Zhenren muttered a few sentences, anyway, he had never taken advantage of Jin Dashao's quarrel. At this moment, the rope in Lei Zhenren's hand moved, as if the bait thrown in the river was bitten by a fish, and it kept shaking gently. As the rope swayed, the piece of "fruit horse's belly" floating on the surface of the water suddenly sank. Lei Zhenren reflexively pulled up, but the rope became heavy.

"What's the matter! So heavy! Lei Zhenren stood on the side of the boat, looked at the water, rolled up his sleeves and spit: "More strength than me?" ”

Crash

Lei Zhenren increased his strength this time, and the rope suddenly loosened, and a floating corpse rolled up from under the water. This kind of thing doesn't pose any threat to me now. At the same time as the floating corpse floated up, it was forced away by the yang energy on my body, and it slid to the side along the water.

"What's going on?" Jin Da Shaolei Zhenren looked at the floating corpse that suddenly surfaced, and felt a little unsure, but this floating corpse looked normal, floating on the water under his face. But it was so unexpected that it always felt unusual. We slowed down the ship and wanted to take a closer look.

Crash

A wave of water floated slightly, and the floating corpse on the water suddenly turned over, and the water splashed and rolled, shaking the two arms of the floating corpse. Its two arms twisted in unison in a strange gesture, pointing to the other side of the water. As soon as the floating corpse's arm twisted, it was completely fixed in place, and that kind of action was very much like a guide.

"Where is it taking us?" Jin Dashao shook his head, and after the floating corpse's arm was settled, it began to drift with the current, and it drifted very slowly, but I could see that it was drifting in the direction of its fingers.

"What good place can this thing take us to?" Lei Zhenren is very careful, and he is not very bold in the first place, so he advises us to be cautious.

I was also a little hesitant in my heart, but unconsciously, I had already driven the boat and floated out with the floating corpse for a while, not far ahead, there was a circular river bay, the direction of the floating corpse suddenly turned, drifted towards the river bay, until it reached the place near the river bank, and sank into the water, and could not be seen.

A few people suddenly became nervous, and looking around, Lei Zhenren muttered whether he had fallen into some trap. But I don't think so, if it was really the Sacred Domain or the Jiuli gang who found out about us, they would kill us directly and do it, and they wouldn't have lured us in such a crude and simple way. After the beginning of spring, the water level is not high, the water flow is slow, and the river bay is quiet, and after looking at it for a while, there is no shadow of people. Several people secretly discussed for a long time, and they all felt that more things were better than less things, and planned to avoid the river bend and continue to walk forward. We rekindled a piece of "fruit belly", and the smoke of the grass and trees then diffused. Bloody pit irony.

But at the moment when the boat turned its bow, I saw a white shadow on the other side of the river leap out of the water and flashed, and the shadow was close to the water, swimming rapidly. After only looking at it twice, my heart moved, and I recognized it as the white carp.

The white carp swam very cheerfully, and this kind of thing was spiritual, and it was obvious that it recognized me. It swam to our boat, and its huge body leaped out of the water, its tail flicking a splash, as if to greet me. The white carp swam around the boat a few times like a young ripe pug, then flicked its tail and motioned for us to follow it.

I don't know what this portends, the white carp was first raised by the ancestor Chen Silong, and then followed his grandfather for a while, and it wants to take me to see the red-eyed old corpse? Or go to see grandpa? But since it has appeared, and it deliberately wants to take us away, there must be a reason for it. The people on the boat were hesitating, and the white carp and others were impatient, and they swam back and forth, jumping on the water.

"Go, keep up with it." I instructed Lao Fuba to row in the direction of the white carp, which was a fish raised by our Chen family, and would never mean to harm me.

The white carp led us towards the shore of the bay, which was not far away, and we arrived quickly. The boat given by the sand gang is slightly larger, and cannot be pushed directly onto the river bank like a small sampan. We stopped more than ten meters from the river, and the white carp shook its head and tail in front of me for a long time, and then plunged into the water.

"If this fish is braised in a braised braised fish, what will it taste like?" Lei Zhenren chirped, and as soon as the words fell, the white carp that had been stuck in the water came out again, and shook him in the water.

"Don't talk nonsense just yet, let's see what it's going to do."

The white carp re-entered the water, and after another four or five minutes, I saw it emerge from the shallow water more than ten meters away, followed by a horse's head silently poking out of the shallow water.

It's the green horse! The white carp brought out the green horse we had been looking for!
