Chapter 454: Unexpected
The giant yin water beast kept rising and falling from the water, splashing a high-flying splash, and the momentum was very terrifying.
"Boss, watch out!" Huang Da shouted.
I hurriedly raised my hand to signal him not to say anything, and stared at the Yin Beast in front of me, which could advance more than twenty meters every time it jumped out of the water. In a few strokes, it smashed down again more than 20 meters from the stern of the boat.
"Row!!"
I roared.
Huang Da and the old man listened to the order, and immediately used their strength to row wildly in the opposite direction, and the pong boat that went forward along the current was suddenly beaten, and then quickly retreated against the current.
"Roar!"
The water beast leaped to its feet again, opening its jaws and swooping down on the ship.
But it didn't know that during the little time it was diving, the boat not only stopped, but was moving back so fast that it miscalculated the position of the boat and jumped over.
At the same time, it was not the beast's big mouth coming towards me, but a black belly!
"Die!"
My eyes lit up, and I leapt to my feet, slashing at its belly with a heavy knife.
"Po!!"
I heard a loud bang, and the belly of the giant water yin beast suddenly exploded like a balloon bursting, and the internal organs and intestines spurted out, smashing the three of us with gold stars on our heads and faces.
"Bang!"
The beast's tail didn't quite avoid the bow of the ship, smashing it to pieces, and the stern was raised so high that it nearly threw me out.
After that, the beast dragged its intestines and entrails into the water, and the tent was torn off by its intestines.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and it was done!
"Don't be stunned, let's go!" I immediately urged again, the thousand-legged insect is dead but not stiff, this thing is very fierce, and it is not so easy to lose its breath.
Then the three of us turned on the rampage mode again, shaking the oars and paddleboards like crazy, and the boat followed the current and sped forward again.
At this moment, suddenly a pinch of black shadows suddenly appeared in all directions, surrounding us at a very fast speed.
"It's a herd of yin beasts!" Huang Da's face changed again.
My heart also sank, I had just dried up and was crippled, but now there was a group of them.
I immediately ran to the bow of the boat to carry it hard, and I had to overcome such a distance no matter what.
The Yin beast herd was fast, like a black curtain from all directions, and a large area of black and swarthy was enough to make people suffer from dense phobia at a glance.
I clenched my heavy knife again and prepared for battle.
Before they could arrive, the waves crashed on the bow of the boat, but strangely, instead of jumping up on me, the beasts rushed under the boat and surrounded the back of the boat.
Soon the water seemed to be boiling, and the water splashed up and down. I even saw a section of intestines crash out of the water, and several water beasts flew up from the water and bit at it, tearing and swallowing.
In a matter of seconds, it was scarlet, and blood was pouring out.
"They're killing that beast!" Huang Da exclaimed.
"Let's go, it's our turn when they're done eating the beast!" The old man said hurriedly.
Looking at the group of yin beasts in front of me, I had a lingering palpitation, fortunately I had managed the giant beast to let it cushion its back, otherwise the giant beast would not kill us, and these beasts could also tear us to pieces, and the latter was a hundred times more dangerous.
The ship was so fast that it was soon possible to see the shore, but the strange thing was that the shore became more and more illusory, as if it was about to disappear.
"The hour has passed, and the shipping lanes are closing!" The old man said hurriedly.
"Damn!!" Huang Da and I scolded at the same time, and a wave of unevenness rose again and again, which has reached the last moment, and another one has come out.
It's a race against death all the way!
Rush over to live, can't rush to die!
Tempted by the great threat of life and death, we spread our arms and rowed our boats as fast as we could, slamming into the shore that was about to disappear completely.
"Buzz!" The surrounding space rippled like water ripples, and the illusory shore in front of it suddenly became solidified, and a cold wind mixed with rain and snow blew in the face.
"Come out, Yangma!" Huang Da roared excitedly, threw the board and collapsed directly on the boat, and the old man also sat down in a batch, panting violently, and kept muttering nervously to come out, come out......
I also have the illusion of being in a different world, looking at the real mountains, the real water, and the rain and snow falling from the sky, but the ordinary scenery can no longer be ordinary but I am excited.
I almost fed the Yin Beast, God favored, we broke out of the crisis, it's a miracle!
After a moment's respite, I stood up and looked around, and found that this was actually a waterhole, and there was a hazy hole not far away, which was constantly pouring live water into this waterhole, and at the other end, a waterway was slowly flowing out.
I was stunned, this place is too familiar, too familiar!
Cold Water Pool!!
It's a cold pool outside the cold water hole!! The entrance to the Hongcun Underground Palace!!
I actually returned to Hongcun! From more than half a step down an abandoned waterway back to Hong Village!
I can't believe that there is such a coincidence in this world?!
"So that's going to happen?" I felt a storm in my heart, Hongcun could be directly connected to more than half a step? Or it should be said in another way, it is not that Hongcun is directly connected to more than half a step, but that Hongcun underground palace can be directly connected to more than half a step!
I don't know why, I suddenly remembered the coffin guard, and the coffin keeper guarded the coffin place!
There are hundreds of coffins stored there, the coffins are not from Hongcun, the origin is unknown, I instinctively thought, could it be that those coffins came from more than half a step?
I have asked a lot of people about those coffins, but they can't say why, and then the army of the underworld entered the underground palace, and I don't know if those coffins have been destroyed, and there are still coffin guards, and I don't know if they have been captured by the underworld.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Huang Da saw me standing in a daze, his face was different, he got up and walked over and asked.
I shook my head, looked at the old man, and asked, "Boatman, you said this is an abandoned waterway, what's the matter?" "He mentioned earlier that it was an abandoned waterway, and he obviously knew something.
The old man was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Little ...... Xiao Lao'er also passed through that section of the waterway when he was young and overheard others mention it, because there were too few people walking on this waterway, there was no navigable yin and yang boat, and over time, it was abandoned. ”
"Who are you listening to? Who else knows about this waterway? I hurriedly asked.
The old man saw that I was very interested, and replied seriously: "At that time, I was still very young, and I heard from an old man, and I am afraid that most of them are no longer alive; The older generation has almost walked the distance, and the existence of this waterway, now more than half a step, I am afraid that no one knows about it; If Xiao Lao'er hadn't accidentally discovered that current, he wouldn't have been able to find this channel. ”
I nodded slowly, and his words were summed up in one sentence, this is an abandoned waterway, and almost no one knows about it.
Of course, it can also be put another way: this is a secret waterway, and very few people know about it!
Because this waterway has not actually been abandoned, it is still navigable, but there are no yin and yang boats coming and going.
From this, I even more intuitively felt that the coffin keeper and the hundreds of coffins it guarded were most likely transported from more than half a step, and this secret passage was specially opened up for transporting those coffins.
I have never figured it out before, according to the legend of Hongcun era, there are all their own ancestral graves, and there is no reason to have hundreds of more coffins for no reason, and there is no record.
I had always guessed that it was the aborigines of Hongcun, or from somewhere else, such as the Great Western Army. But looking at it now, the coffin from more than half a step is the most logical explanation.
If this guess is true, then it can be concluded that more than half a step has something to do with the Hongcun Underground Palace, that is, it has some kind of relationship with the rebellious demon king.
Even a series of tricks in Hongcun before, more than half a step was involved, but there is no clear evidence for the time being.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, there was a strange noise from the pool not far away, and a white mist erupted from the water.
Then a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the water, the size of two sheets, and its green spiky tail rose and fell from the water.
"Yin Beast!" Huang Da screamed in fright, and the old man sat back in the boat.
"Don't be afraid, it's fine." I hurried to reassure them.
It's a ghost ray!
It actually appeared in front of me again, floating there motionless.
Seeing it, I instinctively thought of the Ghost King, the leather coat said it was the pet of the Ghost King, and Wong Tai Sin said that it was the spirit of the underground palace.
The strange thing is that every time the ghost ray sees me, it will stare at me with this kind of eyes, I don't know what it means, but unfortunately it can't speak, if it does, it will be easy to do.
"Shh
I shushed at it, and the ghost ray squirted out another mouthful of water with a "whew", looked at Huang Da and the old man with some vigilance, and slowly swam towards me.
Huang Da and the old man hurriedly shrank to the other side in fright, for fear that it would pounce.
Soon, it came to a halt a foot away from me. I felt that it was not hostile to me, thought for a moment, slowly crouched down on the side of the boat, and stretched out my hand.
"Boss dangerous, that's a yin beast!" Huang Da exclaimed.
"Don't stretch out your hand, this thing is dangerous." The old man also persuaded.
"Yin Beast?" I ignored them and muttered to myself.
The belly of the ghost ray I had seen when Chen Jiutong was hunting it, it was white and soft, but its back was full of scales, just like the yin water giant beast that had chased us before.
From this point of view, it is indeed a Yin Beast, which means that it also came from the waters more than half a step away, and came with those coffins.
It's just that it doesn't seem to be aggressive towards living people, because I've never heard of anyone in Hongcun who has seen it, let alone been attacked by it.
"Whew!"
The ghost ray spewed out a mist again, and that's when I realized that it had a whale-like nostril on its back, and the mist came from there. Then it swam up again, slowly floating, and gently touched my fingertips with its forehead, rubbing it a few times.
I'm stunned, this ghost ray is showing closeness to me?
It's incredible!
After a while, the ghost ray seemed to lose its desire, flicked its tail and gently slapped the water, turned and swam away, and soon sank into the water again and disappeared.
"Holy! What's going on? Huang Da was dumbfounded.
The old man was also puzzled, and said, "The good man is really a god, and this yin beast doesn't attack you." ”
I waved my hand and looked at the cold water cave again, instinctively wanting to go to the coffin to see how the coffin was doing, but when I looked at the bow of the ship, it was smashed by the tail of the giant beast, and it was seeping water a little bit, I was afraid that it would not last long, so I could only press this thought.
"Let's go out along the waterway." I said, since the ship is broken, let's go out first, and then come in with a good one, besides, Huang Da and the old man have just come into contact for a short time, so it is not appropriate to let them know too much.
And now I have one more important thing to do, and that is to go to see the scumbag!
It must know about the Meng Po ghost, and it must find out how the Meng Po ghost bypassed it and entered Hong Village.
Or you can also put it another way, why did Gan Tuan turn a blind eye to Meng Po's ghost?
This is very important, if the ghost Meng Po knows all the secrets of my body, he must find it, know why it is approaching me, and what it has done in Hongcun.
The speculation is too shallow after all.
Huang Da and the old man hurriedly answered, rowed the boat downstream.
The boat was very fast, and it didn't take long for me to enter the Nanxi River, and in the distance, an incomparably familiar outline of a village appeared in front of me.
Hongcun!
That's where I was raised, and where it all began.
There was everything I used to be, my brothers, my childhood playmates, my uncles who watched me grow up, and my nephews and nephews...... And parents.
My nose was slightly sore, and my eyes were hot.
My hometown is so strange in front of me, a year away is like a lifetime, and I don't know if I will have a chance to really return here in the future.
