The Changhe River is a large river running east-west, and its source comes from the vast western wilderness. There are many mountains and mountains in the Western Wilderness, and there are countless secrets in the dense wild woodlands, which attract many people to explore every year. But now is not the time to say the Western Wilderness, in the quiet of the night, a fast boat sails upstream, heading westward.

If nothing happens, the boat will sail past Cape Dragon's King a day later, turn around and head into another tributary of the Long River, and then head southwest along the tributary. And the reason why I rushed overnight was precisely because this section of the river for hundreds of miles was notoriously dangerous, and it was necessary to hurry up and not delay.

Tonight, there was no wind, no moon, and there were not even other boats in sight on the river, and it was a little strange quiet.

"Everyone be on alert, it's time to reach the last hurdle of the 'Three-Day Gorge', be careful of the reefs and rapids, everyone be in charge!" the experienced captain shouted, and all the crew worked together to cross the most dangerous section of the entire long river.

"Miss Fang, please stay away from the side of the ship. The captain came up and reminded: "Once you fall into the water at the mouth of the gorge in three days, you can't even float, so there is a saying here called 'corpses don't float', you must be careful not to fall." ”

"Eh?!Is it so sinister?" Fang Lingji was originally standing on the side of the boat with her feet crossed to look at the scenery, but when she heard this, she immediately took two steps back with a frightened face: "Why is it so strange here? And I see that the water is very calm!"

The captain pointed to the water and said, "Miss Fang, the water here is turbulent, and there are many whirlpools, which have been prone to accidents since ancient times, and there are not many sunken ships." As the ship sank, the currents became more variable, making it more and more difficult to navigate. The surface of the water seems to be calm, but there are actually many dead bodies underwater. And there is a saying in our boat that 'don't look back after three days of night travel'. In other words, if you run here at night, you can't stop or turn back. Otherwise, the dead will climb into the boat and demand their lives......"

"Ah?!!" Fang Lingji's eyes widened and she looked at the captain in disbelief. This little girl was a little afraid of this kind of ghost story, so she swallowed a dry breath and went to La Luo Yuxi in horror: "Senior sister, senior sister, did you hear it?

"The captain is teasing you. Luo Yuxi was much calmer, laughed at this kind of nonsensical ghost story, and then looked up at the channel in front of him and frowned: "But this is indeed a sinister place." ”

The topography here is unique, and the river course has nine bends and eighteen bends. The cliffs on both sides are towering, more than 100 meters higher than the water surface. The ship sails here as if it were sailing between two high walls. Even during the day, the lighting here is not good. At night, visibility is even lower. Moreover, tonight the dark clouds cover the moon, and the clipper must also light the torch and light up before it dares to move forward.

Looking at the cliffs on both sides, Luo Yuxi frowned and said, "If there is an enemy ambushing on the mountains on both sides, holding bows and arrows to shoot fire arrows downward, I am afraid that ordinary ships will not be able to escape." "Her Prajna skills have a little foundation, her ears and eyes are no longer a problem, and she can see far away with the help of lights. On this deck, she was the one with the best eyesight, so she was brought in as a helper when she walked at night.

"Miss Luo is too worried, the peaks on both sides of the gorge are dangerous places in the past three days. The jungle is infested with wild beasts, and ordinary people cannot climb over it. The captain comforted him. Then he said with a mysterious and gloomy face: "But the haunting is not nonsense. According to my grandfather, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, there may be an extremely dangerous vision at the mouth of the gorge during these three days, called 'ghost knocking on the boat'......!

Before the captain finished speaking, he heard Fang Lingji's sudden scream of "Ah!", and he grabbed Luo Yuxi anxiously and said, "Senior sister, I just heard a strange sound, just outside the boat, 'bang', I really heard it!"

The captain was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Miss Fang, in fact, it's all a lie to you, how can there be any ghosts and gods......"

Before he could finish speaking, the captain was stunned, because he also heard a "bang". There was a knock on the door, faint and clear, just outside the ship. "But, maybe I ran into a fish, or a turtle,......" the captain stumbled to find some reason for himself, and then he heard the sound of "knock, knock, knock" and knocking.

The percussion was somewhat muffled, and soon intensified, resounding from the bow to the sides of the ship. All the crew members heard it, and the crowd began to whisper and get nervous. Fang Lingji and the captain's faces turned white, only Luo Yuxi's face was pale, and he quickly came to the side of the ship, looking down at the place where the noise was made.

"Senior sister, what do you see, what do you see?" Fang Lingji was very curious, although her voice trembled, she still walked over, stood beside Luo Yuxi and looked down.

Luo Yuxi suddenly shook his whole body, and shouted with a disgraced face: "No, don't look at it!"

But it's too late.

Fang Lingji looked down, only to see a white face floating under the dark night and the dark river. It was a miserable white face, as white as the gaconuts in the curse. There was also a pair of dead and gray eyes on his face, staring as if they were about to burst out of his sockets, with fear, distortion, and despair, he looked at Fang Lingji through the water.

The face slammed into the side of the ship with a thud. Affected by this collision, the water splashed, and an arm suddenly stretched out from under the water. The same miserable white arm stretched out to the sky like a hideous dead branch, stretching out to Fang Lingji above.

Fang Lingji was completely stunned.

In an uproar, Fang Lingji felt that her face was splashed with some river water, she subconsciously stretched out her hand and wiped it, and it shone in the firelight - it was red! It was blood! Outside the boat was a river of blood!

"Shh――――――h She was so frightened that she didn't know what expression to make, she didn't know how to react, and finally she just stretched out her hand and kept pointing at the water: "Yes, yes, yes—"

"What's there?" A calm voice came, and Luo Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief because Yang Qi was here.

Fang Lingji seemed to poke the start button all of a sudden, and flashed behind Yang Qi with a swish, grabbed the corner of Yang Qi's clothes, and pointed to the water with a frightened cry: "Master, Master." Yes, there are ghosts!

"Ghost?" Yang Qi frowned. Walked to the side of the ship.

"Don't go over, Master, you'll be pulled down!" Fang Lingji was about to jump up nervously. Then he eagerly grabbed the captain's hand and said, "You, quickly, quickly, how to break, how to break!"

"Lingji, calm down, there are no ghosts. Luo Yuxi came over and comforted Fang Lingji and said, "I was also taken aback, but how can there be ...... in this world Ghost ......" At this point, she suddenly couldn't speak. Because this is no longer a world she is familiar with, who can say that there are really no ghosts in this world?

When he began to doubt atheism in his heart, even Luo Yuxi couldn't help but shiver a little.

This time. Yang Qi, who had been standing by the strings of the boat, suddenly spoke: "That's right, there are indeed ghosts. ”

"Huh?!" The three people, including the captain, were about to jump up, but Yang Qi said in a deep voice: "But it's not a water ghost, it's a murderer." ”

"Murderer?" the three of them wondered, and then they were shocked. As the clipper moved forward, as far as the lights could see, I saw one corpse after another floating on the water. The corpses floated and fell in the water, crashing into the hull with a dull thud.

The captain was stunned, and after opening his mouth for a long time, he was stunned: "What the hell is this." How many people died?"

Compared with the captain, Luo Yuxi was more frightened. Because she sees farther. I saw that on the dark surface of the river, corpses kept floating over. There were also broken planks, crates, and even the dead bodies of livestock. She came to Yang Qi's side, looked at the increasingly dense corpses in amazement, and said in disbelief: "What happened? Is there a flood upstream? It's so miserable!"

Yang Qi was the only one who could keep his composure: "It's not a flood. The corpses were all men of their right age, and they were dressed in uniform attire, presumably members of a gang. ”

Luo Yuxi reluctantly suppressed his panic and said, "Could it be a gang war?"

"Not really. Yang Qi shook his head: "It looks like this when they died not long ago, but I didn't hear any fighting, not even the sound of fighting." Look at these corpses, the costumes are exactly the same, without any other members. So it's not a battle-" He glanced at Luo Yuxi, his eyes were heavy: "It's a massacre." ”

"This—...... is this" The captain suddenly noticed something, he rubbed his eyes, and then whispered in disbelief: "They are all wearing the clothes of the three gangs of the Long River!"

"The Three Gangs of the Long River?" Yang Qi frowned, then flew out of the side of the boat and plunged into the vast darkness. Before the three of them could react, they heard the sound of water, and Yang Qi had already swept back, still holding a corpse in his hand. "Take a closer look, is it from the Three Gangs of Changhe?"

Placing the corpse on the deck, as soon as the fire shone, Luo Yuxi's face immediately turned pale. She came from a civilized society, how could she have seen such a picture, and she was sick to her stomach and couldn't vomit, so she finally held back. It's Fang Lingji, she is only afraid of ghosts and gods and not afraid of the dead, but now she has recovered a lot.

The captain looked carefully, and finally nodded firmly: "That's right, they are from the three gangs of the Long River, and we must know them if we run boats on the Long River." Look at this costume, it should be the personal guard of the flying dragon Wen Hanlong!"

"Hmm. Yang Qi frowned and looked ahead: "Speed up, go forward." ”

"This ......" The captain was furious, but he didn't dare to disobey Yang Qi's intentions, and finally took the order with trepidation.

"Master," Luo Yuxi came to Yang Qi's side, "Do you see something?"

"All of them are sword wounds, a sword seals the throat, and the techniques are changeable, but they are all the same way. Yang Qi reversed the sword moves in his mind, but the conclusion he got was very simple: "Very sharp, fast swordsmanship." There was only one swordsman, and he killed them all. ”

"Murderer ......" Luo Yuxi chewed on the word blankly, shocked by the corpses that kept drifting.

The further you go, the more corpses there are, and even closer to the density in the Titanic movie, it is a little difficult to sail. The crew could only hold the pole and grit their teeth for fear of pushing away the corpses before rowing forward. Especially when the river turns around, a large number of dead people are piled up at the corners, like a piece of dead duckweed, rising and falling with the waves, making a penetrating sound that makes people want to cover their ears.

After turning a corner, the crowd saw the fire. It's not a raging fire, it's just bits and pieces of boards that burn as they float on the water. There used to be a big ship, a ship many times bigger than this speedboat, but now it's just pieces and wreckage.

In the silence, there was a sudden sound in the direction of the stern. It's not the sound of a collision, it's the sound of a human foot hitting the ground.

"Don't move! I'll kill anyone who moves!" a fierce shout, followed by a panicked call from the crew. The three of them rushed to the stern of the ship, only to see a bloody man grabbing the captain and confronting the crew. The bloody man grabbed the captain's throat with one hand and five fingers, and his eyes showed a fierce light, like a wounded beast: "As long as I make a move, he will die, hurry up and bring water and food!"

In the panicked confrontation, Yang Qi took a step forward from the crowd. He didn't move, just looked the bloody man up and down: "Is it you?Wen Hanlong?Are you still alive?"

The bloody man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned his ear to wonder if he asked, "Your voice is familiar, who are you?" His fierce eyes seemed to be invisible.

"It's me, Yang Qi, the one from Zuiyue Tower. Yang Qi looked at the bloody man in front of him, if he hadn't heard the voice, he really wouldn't have recognized him as that Wen Hanlong.

"Oh, it's you. Wen Hanlong finally said these four words, and then fell to the ground with a pop, unconscious. (To be continued......)
