After making sure the engine was running properly, we exited the engine room and returned to the deck of the cargo ship.

The people on the deck had solemn expressions and tense expressions, and their eyes were unusually staring at the river, as if they were stiffly confronting something on the river.

He Lao, the engine has been restored and can be restarted! Huzi said to He Lao.

He Lao's face was a little stiff: Even if the engine can run, we are afraid that we will not be able to leave!

Why? Huzi raised his eyebrows.

Lu Haolan pouted: Come and take a look outside!

What's going on out there?

We walked to the side of the boat with curiosity, craned our necks to look out, and the sight on the river was so startled that my eyes almost fell out, and I froze there with my mouth half-open, letting the wind whip me in the face. The sight in front of me was terrifying, and this sight alone became a nightmare that I will never get rid of in my life.

Countless black whirlpools appeared on the turbid river surface, those whirlpools were of different sizes, the largest was nearly five meters in diameter, and the smallest was one meter, and those whirlpools pulled each other, like a huge net laid on the river surface, and like a dense hornet's nest, which made people's scalps numb.

Of course, there is nothing terrible about the whirlpool, and the scary sight is much more than that.

In the middle of each whirlpool, a revenant emerges, and in that large maelstrom, there are more than a dozen revenant souls clustered together. As far as the eye can see, the souls of the dead that emerge from the river are densely packed, if not tens of thousands, but thousands. These dead souls seemed to be carved out of a mold, dead gray skin, gray and blue faces, and scarlet blood and tears hanging from the corners of their eyes, they stood upright in the water like wooden stakes, not sinking, not surfacing the water, so many dead souls did not make a sound, just stared at the people on the boat silently.

There was a black mist floating on the surface of the river, and the faces of the dead were looming in the mist.

Mom! I was so frightened that I couldn't even stand on my feet, so my grandfather quickly reached out and helped me and took me off the side of the boat.

Cai Sixi's psychological qualities are really strong, he pointed to the souls on the river and asked Huzi: Father-in-law, why are there so many souls on the river?

Huzi's face also showed a rare solemn look: This is the day of a hundred ghosts! Looks like we're going to have a tricky opponent this time!

Father-in-law, then why is there a hundred ghosts walking on a daily basis? Cai Sixi asked.

Huzi said: The daily journey of a hundred ghosts is that many ghosts appear in broad daylight, we all know that ghosts are afraid of seeing the light, so many ghosts come out in broad daylight, contrary to common sense, it is indeed weird and inexplicable! I guess these ghosts are being manipulated by an even more terrifying ghost, which uses ghost fog to block out the sunlight, so these ghosts dare to emerge from the water in broad daylight!

So what is the origin of these ghosts? Cai Sixi has the posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

Huzi pointed to the river and said: From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many souls have been buried in the Yangtze River, and these thousands of dead souls are just a drop in the ocean!

Listen! What is this sound? He Lao said suddenly.

Everyone closed their mouths and listened intently, and there seemed to be a burst of singing on the river in the distance.

The song was ethereal, tactful and desolate, suddenly raised, suddenly lowered, like crying and complaining, and the hearts of those who listened to it were full of spirits.

The surroundings became quieter, and the singing became clearer, it was a woman's voice:

I was not born, I was born to be old, I hated me for being late, I hated you for being early.

I am not born when you are born, I am old and hateful at the same time, and I am good with you every day.

I was born before I was born, I am old, I am far away from the end of the world, and I am separated from the cape.

I was born before I was born, and I was born with an aging butterfly to look for flowers, and I lived in the grass at night.

This poem was originally an inscription poem on the porcelain of the Tongguan kiln in the Tang Dynasty, and now it has been composed into music, and there is an indescribable melodious and beautiful sound, which is mixed with lingering desolation and helplessness.

At that time, I was still young and did not understand the meaning of the poems, but the woman's singing voice brought tears to my eyes, and even I felt inexplicable.

What made me even more apprehensive was that I had a vague feeling that this woman's voice was very similar to the voice of the woman in my dream!

Let's go!

There were drops of water on my face.

At first, I thought it was fog, so I didn't bother to wipe it.

But the droplets of water fell on my face one after another, and I couldn't help but raise my head, and then I saw my grandfather crying!

Yes!

Grandpa is crying!

In silent tears!

Crystal tears rolled down Grandpa's old cheeks, and Grandpa's body couldn't stop trembling.

Grandpa, what's wrong with you? I looked at my grandfather in amazement, I had grown so big, it was the first time I had seen my grandfather's love so out of control.

Grandpa, with red eyes, looked at the misty river in the distance, and said the words that puzzled me: She is here! Sure enough, it was her! Sure enough, it's her!

Who the hell is she?

Who is she in Grandpa's mouth?

Is there any connection between this her and the woman I saw in my dream?

Or are they just the same person?

My mind was starting to lose track, and I felt like I was falling into a fog that I didn't know what to do.

I'm going crazy!

I'm really going crazy!

Attention, everyone, the goal has appeared! There was a hint of nervousness in He Lao's voice.

After a song, the sound of gongs and drums was heard on the river again, and the silent river suddenly became very lively.

In the astonished eyes of the people, a super-large whirlpool with a diameter of about 20 meters appeared on the surface of the river dozens of meters away. The whirlpool was like a black ghost eye, slowly rotating on the surface of the river, and a thick ghost mist wafted out of the whirlpool. Then, a large saffron sedan chair slowly rises from the water.

Eight strong souls carried a big red sedan chair, the big red sedan chair is very exquisite, with a silk cloth curtain, a dragon and a phoenix, and a gold lacquer border. There is also a soft couch in the center of the sedan chair, and the soft couch is embroidered with gold thread and flies with wings. A woman in a red bridal dress sits on a soft couch with a crown of pearls and phoenixes, and her face is covered by bright red satin.

The ghost bride

I remembered what Zhang Lei said in the surveillance video: The bride in red

A chill suddenly rose from the soles of my feet, and I felt unusually cold underneath the clouds.

Especially after the appearance of this ghost bride, the temperature on the river seems to have dropped by several degrees suddenly.

The cloudy wind whirled across the water, blowing so hard that we couldn't open our eyes.

The big red sedan chair that was originally beaming, but at this moment, it looks like there is an indescribable mystery.

The striking bright red contrasts with the dead gray of the surrounding area, and the impact is quite great, both visually and psychologically.

Crackling!

He Lao slowly pulled out a nine-section whip from behind his waist, and with a volley in the air, the nine-section whip made a crackling sound.

The nine-section whip was different from the ordinary nine-section whip, the whip was actually engraved with charms, and the swarthy whip body revealed an indescribable majesty and murderous aura.

He Lao held the nine-section whip tightly in his right hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were highlighted, and now the murderer who killed so many people in the He family was in front of him, although He Lao tried his best to restrain his feelings, his voice was still obviously trembling with anger: He Fang is a demon, so bold, he dares to spread wild on the Jing River! Today, the five major river patrols are all here, and you don't want to make waves again!

Hehe! The bride in the sedan chair sneered softly, and the laughter revealed deep disdain.

The ghost bride stretched out her slender hand and threw a red scarf into the river.

The surrounding water soon turned blood-red, and the blood water surged, and the souls of the dead who had been standing quietly in the water began to become agitated, and thousands of souls all gathered around our cargo ship.

Within a moment, the sides of the cargo ship were densely packed with dead souls.

Immediately afterward, our cargo ship began to shake visibly, and the souls of the dead stretched out their arms and swayed vigorously against the side of the ship.

We felt like we were on an amusement park pirate ship on the cargo ship, rocking and shaking, shaking and shaking, and the people on board were already unsteady, and a few guys were rolling around like watermelons, hitting their heads and bleeding.

If it weren't for my grandfather pulling me tightly, I guess I would have rolled into the Yangtze River a long time ago.

Even in this situation, the masters of the five major families were still like nails, firmly nailed to the deck, and no matter how the cargo ship shook, they did not move a bit.

Ah! There was a sudden exclamation from the boat, and a doorman of the Lu family accidentally fell into the water.

Lu Haolan wanted to go to the rescue, but it was too late.

The man fell into the water, and before he could surface, he was surrounded by more than a dozen undead souls, grabbed the man and dragged him under the water, but the man soon disappeared without a trace, and never surfaced again.

Before the battle officially began, Lu Haolan's face turned blue and white. He brought two masters of his disciples to come, but he didn't expect one of them to die inexplicably, which made Lu Haolan's face somewhat unbearable.

Hum! As I said earlier, it's a bunch of rubbish! The high-spirited He Jialei spoke coldly again, and he did not have the slightest compassion for the death of his companion, but was deeply disdainful.

Lu Haolan's face was hot, and he glared at He Jialei with extreme displeasure.

He Jialei also pulled out a long whip from behind his waist, but his long whip did not have nine sections, but six sections.

He Jialei did have some ability, and he jumped into the water with a loud scolding, performing the light skill of floating on the water, and quickly swept over the water, his posture was as light as a flying swallow. Wherever he passed, the whip flew, and one after another the souls were struck by the whip, turning into clouds of black smoke and bursting open.

In the end, He Jialei rolled over in the air and landed on the top of the head of a revenant, stretched out his foot and stepped on it vigorously, and the revenant's head was crushed alive and turned into a cloud of black smoke. He Jialei took advantage of this momentum to jump high in the air, and a harrier turned over and landed back on the deck steadily, without even a drop of water on his clothes.
