I really believed it, but after thinking about it, wearing a straw hat into the water, no matter how deep the water was, the straw hat would float on the water, and of course the water could not drown the straw hat, so I said to the old farmer, "You tease me." ”

Zhao Jingshu and I stood by the river, and the old farmer stood on the road a little higher, he saw that I reacted, put the flat pole on the ground, sat directly on the flat pole, took out a cigarette gun and lit it for two puffs before saying, "This river is going to flow into the Yangtze River, do you say it is deep?" In addition, this is the place where three rivers meet, and there are whirlpools everywhere, not demons and immortals, and they can't cross this river. This river is not only urgent, but also strange, you two little dolls dare to come here to play in the water, don't die. ”

Zhao Jingshu smiled embarrassedly, she is twenty years old, where will she have the mind to play in the water, even if she has a lot of fun, she will not come here with me to play in the water, after all, I am a man, but I heard the clues in the old farmer's words, and asked, "Is there a monster in the river?" ”

After taking a few sips, the old farmer Balabala said, "It's not that there is a monster in the river, it's that the river itself is weird, and you don't know if you don't live here." Just a few days ago, the river broke off, and I saw it alone, and after about a minute of it, there was a big hole at the bottom of the Sancha River, and all the water flowed into the big hole, and after the big hole was filled, the Sancha River recovered, and I told others about it, and they didn't believe it. ”

I sound that something is wrong, a few days ago it happened that the water of Qinglongyan was drained, and someone went down to the grave in Qinglongyan, but just went down there was water poured into it, just at that time, the Sancha River was cut off, and the water flowed into a big hole at the bottom of the river.

I have never believed that there is a real dragon in the Qinglong Weir, even if there is a real dragon, the water in its body cannot fill the entire Qinglong Weir, so the water in the Qinglong Weir is suddenly filled, which must be related to the interruption of the Sancha River.

The old farmer then said, "This is not the first time that the Sancha River has been broken, I heard the ancestors say, the Republic of China and the Qing Dynasty have been cut off several times, the Republic of China once broke off the flow of one or two disappeared, the people at that time were hungry and crazy, saw the big hole at the bottom of the Sancha River, thought that there was a treasure in it, and carried a basket into the big hole to pick up the baby, as a result, most of the people who went drowned in it, only a young man with good water nature swam out, but after coming out, he was scared into a fool. I didn't wake up until I was about to breathe a few days, and I told my family that the hole at the bottom of the Sancha River extended in all directions, and there was a passage full of gold and silver treasures, but there were many dead people lying next to those gold and silver treasures, and those who took the gold and silver treasures were all pulled by the dead, and he escaped after losing those gold and silver treasures, so ah, you still have to be down-to-earth, and it is impossible to think about making a fortune in the daytime. ”

The old man sighed, Zhao Jingshu has lived in Enshi City for so long, obviously it is the first time he has heard of this, he looked at the old farmer and said, "Our family has been living in Enshi City, why haven't we heard of this matter?" ”

The old farmer laughed, "At that time, the people who went down were all dragging their families, and a whole family died below, and the whole family died and naturally couldn't spread it." ”

"And how did you know that?" Zhao Jingshu continued to ask.

The old farmer said, "The young man who escaped is my father, he told us not to go out when he died, and when the next time the flow is broken, think of a way to go in again, those gold and silver treasures are our family, but for so many years the Sancha River has not been broken, I have long stopped daydreaming, a few days ago the flow was cut off, but the time is too short, and it is too late to go down the river, this is fate, it is your own is always your own, not your own ask and can't ask for it." ”

It turned out that there was such an allusion here, Zhao Jingshu and I were relieved, while talking, the old farmer also finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, stood up and picked up the burden again to leave, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell us, "You two little dolls must not go into the water, and you won't even be able to find the corpse at that time." ”

Zhao Jingshu and I should be on our lips, and we have been watching the old farmer leave.

After the old farmer left, Zhao Jingshu looked at me and asked, "Master Niu, what do you think?" ”

I felt weird when I called me Master Niu to my face, and I was awkward for a while before I said, "The bottom of the Sancha River should lead to the Qinglong Weir, and the water in the Qinglong Weir is gone, or someone touches the mechanism in the Qinglong Weir, and the Sancha River will open and divert water to refill the Qinglong Weir." ”

Zhao Jingshu nodded, and then asked, "What happened to those corpses that the old farmer said just now?" ”

I pondered carefully for a while, looked up at the big hole carved out in the mountain wall next to the Sancha River, and said, "In that era, there were so many gold and silver treasures, either the graves of the rich and noble, or the bandits, this was originally a bandits' den, so the gold and silver treasures they saw at the beginning were most likely those bandits, those corpses, maybe they ran from the Qinglong Weir, or maybe they were the corpses of the bandits who disappeared back then." ”

Zhao Jingshu also felt that this was very possible, their Zhao family had been planning the matter of Qinglongyan, so they were naturally extremely concerned, looking at the mountain wall on the other side of the river and saying, "If you can cross the river and go to the opposite mountain to have a look, it will be clear at a glance." ”

I also wanted to cross the river to see, but I had no choice, and after thinking for a while, I opened the Eight Treasures Gourd, and a wisp of fresh air floated out of the gourd, turning into Huang Yunqiu, and I immediately handed her the umbrella I was carrying.

Zhao Jingshu looked at Huang Yunqiu who came out of the gourd, she was a little distracted, she knew that Huang Yunqiu was in my gourd, and she didn't deliberately avoid her at that time, she looked at it for a while and said, "How many things are in your gourd?" I see that gray wolf also came out of your gourd. ”

Zhao Jingshu didn't know that the gray wolf was Huang Yunqiu, I didn't say much, the more mysterious she was, the more respectful she would be, Huang Yunqiu also heard what she said just now, and when I came out, I asked, "Sister, is there any way to cross the river?" ”

Huang Yunqiu glanced at it a few times and said, "The river is too fast, and it is still dangerous to cross the river in the soul state, if the living want to cross the river, they have to use Taoist spells." ”

As soon as he heard that there was hope, he asked again, "What spell?" ”

Huang Yunqiu said, "Buddhism has Bodhidharma Patriarch a reed to cross the river, Taoism has eight immortals to cross the sea to show their magical powers, Quanzhen Dao has a total of eight kinds of magical powers to cross the river, the master mentioned it to me before, but I was not interested in that, so I threw it aside, if your master is here, he must have a way." ”

Zhao Jingshu and I both lost their voices, we have already come here, but we are blocked by this river, a little unwilling, but there is no way, after all, life is important.

Standing by the river and looking at it unwillingly for a while, but suddenly I heard a 'da-da' sound from the opposite side, even in the turbulent river, this sound is very obvious, this sound seems to come from a closed environment, through the expansion of the mountain, it will be so obvious.

The three of us stopped speaking at the same time, and after listening for a while, the clatter sound gradually disappeared, Zhao Jingshu and I looked at each other, Huang Yunqiu listened for a while, and stretched out his hand to point to the opposite mountain, "The sound is coming from the opposite mountain, there must be a passage in that mountain, the sound just now is the sound of horses' hooves, someone is riding a horse in the mountain." ”

"The woman on the white horse."

As soon as Huang Yunqiu mentioned it, we immediately understood, and we all thought of that woman.

Huang Yunqiu naturally thought of it, we had already had the intention of retreating, but when we heard the sound of the mountain opposite, we wanted to cross the river and take a look, Huang Yunqiu hesitated for a while and said, "I am in a soul state, I will try to cross the water first, you guys just don't move here." ”

This place is not comparable to the Qinglong Weir, the Qinglong Weir is stagnant water, this is the living water, Huang Yunqiu is very easy to be washed away even if she is in a state of spirit, seeing that she is going to take an adventure, I am vaguely worried.

Huang Yunqiu arrived next to the Sancha River as he spoke, and when he was about to enter the water, a voice came from the place where the old farmer sat down to rest just now, "Did you leave your brains at home when you went out?" ”

The three of us looked back at the same time, but saw Liu Cheng standing at the place where the old farmer was just now, looking at us with a disgusted expression.

"Master." I was stunned.

Zhao Jingshu also immediately recognized Liu Cheng, who had instructed her to find us before, and said busily, "Dao Chief." "I realized that I had just called him Master, and looked at us in surprise.

Liu Cheng said, "This river is thirty meters wide, and you can throw things over with a little effort, if you want to cross the river, why don't you go first to the Eight Treasure Gourd, wrap the Eight Treasure Gourd with your clothes first, and then throw the gourd to the other side?" ”

When Huang Yunqiu heard this, the whole person froze, and all the embarrassment and embarrassment were written on his face, and he said, "I didn't expect it." ”

I asked, "So how are we going to cross the river?" ”

Liu Chengdao, "There are three forks in the river here, one is the main stream and two tributaries, don't you go tributaries?" ”

As soon as we said this, we immediately reacted, the mountain where the sound came just now was directly opposite us, as long as we bypassed the two tributaries, we could also reach it, and we couldn't help but blush, but it was still a dead duck with a hard mouth, and said, "The tributaries are not easy either." ”

Liu Cheng said quietly, "The depth of the water here is because of the low terrain, there is a groove below, which has accumulated a lot of water, and the tributaries are upstream, and the water depth is not waist-deep. ”
