Chapter 2 Choice
"There is no grinding sound of slings, no waves coming out of the water... It definitely won't be the manpower arranged by Lao Liu, so... Who the hell is this, and how did you get to this boat?" Although Xue Chuan's face was pale, his thoughts were still running fast.
"Little boy, are you going to keep your back to me like this?" The same ethereal voice sounded again, but the tone in it became a little cold.
Xue Chuan was full of excitement, and he also heard the danger signal in the voice, and couldn't help but secretly say that something was wrong, gritted his teeth, and no matter what would happen to him, his body slowly turned around.
Seeing the person in front of him, Xue Chuan was stunned, at the other end of the boat in front of him, there was a young woman in a white plain shirt kneeling, her figure was slender, and two warm jade feet stretched out under the semi-transparent plain shirt, staring at Xue Chuan in a lazy posture, half-supporting her cheeks.
Xue Chuan couldn't help but secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva, and carefully looked at the mysterious woman who appeared inexplicably.
This woman's eyes are like obsidian beads, and her two slender ink eyebrows add a temperament to it, her facial features are handsome, her lips and jade teeth, and her waist are green silk, which makes people praise "peerless beauty" when they see it.
Even though the other party was just a weak woman who seemed to be powerless, the caution that had been built up in the rivers and lakes for many years still made Xue Chuan not dare to relax too much, so he thought for a while, and then politely arched his hand and said: "This girl, I don't know-"
"Sit down, it's annoying for me to stand like this. The woman frowned slightly, waved her hand, and directly stifled Xue Chuan's polite words.
Xue Chuan laughed awkwardly a few times, but he didn't have the courage to refute, saying something like "What kind of thing do you dare to let me point fingers at the master", because of the strange environment around him, he has been telling him such a message:
This woman can't be provoked!
Sitting on the boat with the other party obediently, Xue Chuan had the courage to speak again: "This girl, I don't know what happened to you suddenly visiting Xue's humble boat?"
The woman yawned, and her tone was still lazy: "But son, you sailed on this treacherous river in the middle of the night, I don't know why?"
"I... I was suddenly interested, and I planned to experience the cold in the middle of the night on this river, and enjoy the lonely river scenery with the lights and lights, could it be that there was something wrong?" Xue Chuan was stunned when he heard this, and then said nonsense.
When the woman heard Xue Chuan's words, she chuckled with interest and said, "Oh?
As she spoke, the woman pointed to the river next to the boat. Xue Chuan was puzzled when he heard this, but he still followed the other party's fingers, but he was shocked to find that the river water that was originally rippling had already been covered with a thick layer of frost!
"This! How could this river be like this!" Xue Chuan was shocked and hurriedly looked at the stunning woman. However, the woman smiled and shook her head: "This frost on the river is a trivial matter, you might as well take a closer look, Childe, otherwise you may miss some interesting things." β
When Xue Chuan heard this, his heart was full of doubts and surprises, but the curiosity in his heart overshadowed the fear, so he leaned out of the boat again, stepped forward, and carefully looked at the frost like a silver mirror under the moon.
Looking at it, Xue Chuan found that something was wrong, under the heavy frost and ice, in the dark and deep river, there were some strange lines, which were constantly changing and moving, covering almost the entire Lujiang River.
"Hmm, these are?" Xue Chuan frowned, narrowed his eyes, and leaned in a little more.
However, the next moment, Xue Chuan, who realized the true face of the pattern under the frost, screamed in horror and hurriedly retreated to the boat, keeping himself as far away from the frozen river as possible.
Where is the swimming pattern, it is clearly thousands of cold corpses, soaked in the river water and swollen and blue, are flowing along the river, piecing together a terrible picture!
What made Xue Chuan even more frightened was that among the dense corpses, there were actually many corpses, which were repeatedly scratching the frost, as if they wanted to break through the river and pull Xue Chuan into the cold and gloom!
"Childe, how is the lonely river scene in the middle of the night?" The quiet voice of the woman in white with a hint of ridicule once again penetrated Xue Chuan's chaotic mind, making him even more panicked.
"That's... What are those things?!This river... How can there be so many... Corpse?!" Xue Chuan's teeth chattered with fear, and he finally mustered up his strength and asked the woman in white this sentence.
"Why, don't you know?" the woman deliberately looked surprised, but the sarcasm in her words intensified, "Didn't you swear to the villagers that you would help them get rid of these poor creatures?"
This voice was like a sharp blade glowing with cold light, peeling away all the false faces of Xue Chuan's shame, piercing the most vulnerable part of his heart, making him open his mouth wide, but he couldn't say a word.
"This.... That... These things are the villagers who have drowned?!" Xue Chuan's voice trembled, and his mind was a little confused.
"I'm surprised, when you confidently packed tickets with the people in that village and said that you would solve these troubles, didn't you think about what caused six people to die in this Lujiang every five years?" said the beautiful woman coldly.
"I.... I thought it was just an undercurrent under the water, but I didn't think it would be..."Xue Chuan stammered, and couldn't help but glance at the floating corpses in the surrounding river again, and shivered again.
"That's a pity, because your casual words at the beginning doomed you to not be able to leave safely tonight. The woman shook her head and sneered.
"This!How do you say this?!" Xue Chuan was shocked, and couldn't help but hurriedly bow down to the mysterious woman, and said repeatedly: "This... This fairy girl, please show mercy and save my life!"
In fact, the reason why Xue Chuan asked for so much was precisely because his mind had not really been overwhelmed by fear.
In his opinion, this mysterious woman can appear on this boat freely, and point out what he has said and done, and even what he thinks in his heart, and his face will not change in the face of this floating corpse, there must be some kind of means to resist all the weirdness around him.
"Immortals?" The woman sneered as if she had heard some ridiculous joke and said, "If the immortal hears what you say, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will take your three souls and seven spirits to refine medicine, right?"
Without waiting for Xue Chuan to react, the mysterious woman said again: "What do you think I'm doing sitting here? If I hadn't been there, this river frost wouldn't have appeared at all, and you would have been dragged into the underworld by those resentful lonely ghosts!"
Xue Chuan's expression was shocked, but he saw a glimmer of life in it: In this way, this mysterious woman really had the intention of saving his life?
"Please also-" Xue Chuan was about to plead with the other party, but was directly interrupted by the mysterious woman, and said, "First of all, I want to correct your point of view." β
Xue Chuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the woman with a sigh, not knowing why.
I saw the mysterious woman smile slightly, and an intoxicating softness appeared on her beautiful face, as well as the murderous Mori Han hidden under the softness.
"In fact, I'm here to take your life. β
When Xue Chuan heard this, his whole body stiffened.
Seeing the confusion in Xue Chuan's heart, the mysterious woman said: "The lonely souls and wild ghosts of this river originally wandered between the Nine Shadows and the Yang, wandering away and having nowhere to go, and what supported them to survive was the resentment in their hearts. It stands to reason that they should gradually dissipate and turn into nothingness, and this curse in the river naturally ceases to exist. β
"But. Speaking of this, the mysterious woman stared into Xue Chuan's eyes and sneered: "It's because of you, a stunned young man who doesn't know the height of the sky, that they have a new reason to exist." β
Xue Chuan's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to defend himself, but was stopped by the mysterious woman's cold eyes.
"Do you remember what you said when you stood by the river and faced the terrified villagers?" asked the mysterious woman.
The corners of Xue Chuan's mouth twitched a few times, but he still said in a low voice: "I said at the time...", Xue Chuan, am willing to guarantee with my life, and I will definitely send this unjust soul in the river into the reincarnation of the past life!"
"Hehe," the mysterious woman sneered and continued: "The so-called words come out of the law, it is precisely because of your words that the unjust souls that will gradually disappear after a period of time are reborn again, if one day is not as good as the reincarnation of the past, they will gather one day and not disperse, unlessβ"
Xue Chuan trembled all over, and he also understood what the woman meant, and couldn't help but feel cold all over his body, gritting his teeth and picking up the mysterious woman's words: "-Unless, the person who once swore has lost his life!"
The mysterious woman glanced at Xue Chuan: "I didn't expect you to have a little brain, that's right, unless you lose your life and your soul is dragged into the netherworld by them as the price of breaking your oath, otherwise they will always cause trouble in the world." β
Xue Chuan lowered his head, his body was still trembling slightly, and after a while, he calmed down, sighed, and said, "I really can't figure it out, I'm just a casual remark, could it really have such a big impact?"
The mysterious woman raised her eyebrows: "Do you think that the only people who heard that were those stupid villagers and you stunned young man?
Xue Chuan turned his head and looked at the many floating corpses under the frost, and couldn't help but feel a sense of amusement in his heart, and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that I was going to be one of you, I pretended to be a ghost for more than ten years, and in the end I was going to become a ghost, which is really sad." β
After laughing at himself, Xue Chuan turned his head, looked at the mysterious woman and said, "In that case, why don't you do it yet?"
The mysterious woman smiled: "Because I want to give you a chance, a chance to choose life and death." β
When Xue Chuan heard this, he was shocked, and his gaze at the mysterious woman also burned instantly!
