Chapter 16 The Ferry Passenger of the Cold River

The scream was long and circuitous, reaching the bottom of the Chain Mountain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Chain Mountain, ring after ring.

The Demon King spilled blood all over the sky.

The river of chains, long and long.

Last year, a period of lovesick tears, this year only to the county Qianjiang.

It is said that Xiaonan County is far away from Chain Mountain, and a big river in front of Xiaonan County spans thousands of miles, so it is called "County Qianjiang". In order to ridicule the distance between the two, someone made up this limerick poem, saying that a line of tears was left in the Chain River last year, and this year it just flowed into the county front river.

In troubled times, the population of Xiaonan County is only 2,000, and the cold wind is howling outside the door, and even fewer people come out.

In winter, Xiaonan County seems to be a dead city.

Twilight.

The surface of the river has been covered with snow and ice, and a few lights are circulating on the ice, like red elves running around the river. A lonely boat slowly swam in the cold river, the long penny smashed the ice and snow, and the boatman turned around and said: "Two guests, Xiaonan County is almost here." ā€

The two guests were tightly wrapped, one of them was seven feet tall and carried a human-tall black cloth head in his arms, and the other was wearing a hat and moving steadily, and the beads were inadvertently exposed between his wrists and tucked back into his sleeves.

"Xiaonan County, what strange things have happened recently?"

"Yes, yes. He was very old, and the folds of his cheeks could almost kill flies alive, and he said: "There is a deserted Yizhuang in Xiaonan County, the original owner's surname is Zhang, so it is called Zhangjiayizhuang, I heard that it has been haunted all the time. ā€

"Ghosts?"

"That's right. ā€

"You've seen it?"

"Ugh....... I haven't seen it before. ā€

"Since you haven't seen it, how do you know it's a ghost?"

The boatman was speechless, he had never seen such a sharp mouth. But what was even more surprising was that it was a woman, and the guest holding the black cloth turned out to be a woman, but her voice was hoarse than many men. The boatman said: "Whether it is a ghost or not, in short, it is a terrible thing, if you passers-by want to spend the night, be careful to pay for your life!"

"Not necessarily. "For some, she's the ghost. The Rakshasa people once famously used to have ghost knives left no living mouth wherever they passed, and it was because the people who saw her weapons were dead, so no one knew what her weapons looked like. Except for one person, every time she thought of that person, she frowned, making her brow as cold as ice.

The boatman noticed another guest, "What about the other guest officer, what are you doing in Xiaonan County?"

"Just take a look. ā€

Chuanjia said: "Poor and remote, there is nothing to see, the only famous is the Chain Mountain, I heard that there was a Chiyou, the bright red shackles stained the woods red, and it became a maple forest." But there's not much to see anymore. ā€

"Why?"

"A month ago, the entire mountain was leveled, and I don't know which way the master fights, it can really be described as a fight between gods and a disaster for mortals. ā€

"Is there anything left?"

"There is nothing left, it is said that there are a lot of corpse jackals, and it has now become a trolls mountain, and passers-by are all shy about it. ā€

The other guest was silent, and the ghost knife suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed the guest in the throat. But it couldn't be pierced, and the invisible wall blocked the knife. She said, "You seem to be interested in Chain Mountain." ā€

"I'm interested in everything in the world, except you. The guest took off the hat, revealing eyes as clear as water, only to hear the situation of Chain Mountain, and it was inevitable that a trace of loneliness crossed his eyes.

The bald head also sparkles under the orange light.

"You're a monk. Ghost Knife's eyebrows tightened, and her wrist slammed into Sixteen's throat.

With a "bang", her dagger snapped.

Sixteen said, "It's good to break." ā€

But she slowly pulled open her kudbur coat, and there was a set of short daggers hanging from the placket, which was seven seven and forty-nine.

Sixteen: "Stop, although you are not a good person, we have no reason to fight." ā€

A vigilant glint flashed in her eyes, "Do you think the matter of the Qingfo Temple has nothing to do with me?"

Sixteen said: "At least you didn't kill the master, presumably you were just driven by people to make a living." ā€

"Hmph. She sneered and ********, "There aren't many people like you anymore." ā€

"Oh?"

"People often shout and kill when they see my face, and I don't bother to waste my lips and tongues, so I send them to Huangquan Road. She said: "You came to Xiaonan County to escape, don't involve me, the person who hired me that time was not simple." She picked up the black cloth again and nestled in the warm corner of the cabin.

It's just self-deception of warmth, the cold wind goes straight into the cabin, the ship's family is used to it, and their lips are always frozen purple. He looked at the two of them and didn't say anything, very indifferent.

When the revetment was about to be revetted, the boatman parked the boat and said: "I'm used to fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes. ā€

Ghost Knife handed the silver to the boatman, and she said, "I don't know if there will be two more bones, but if you talk to me in this tone again, there will be a new one here." ā€

The boatman kept his mouth shut, after all, he knew who was easy to mess with and who was not.

The boatman left with a penny, singing the song of Eile: "The sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low~"

Sixteen: "It's not easy to make a living, why is he so fierce?"

The ghost knife said, "He is much more profitable when he kills." ā€

"What do you mean?"

"His hands were shaking all the time when he was holding the boat. ā€

"What about shaking?"

"That's the sequelae left by cannibalism, the human body contains trace amounts of toxins, and long-term consumption will cause the hands to shake like that. He eats no less than the sutras you have read. ā€

"Amitabha. ā€

Sixteen believed what the ghost knife said, and the ship's hands were not caused by the cold, but when people were frozen, they froze, not constantly shivering. Thanks to him being in the same boat with the ghost knife, presumably the boatman has used a lot of tricks, all of which have been quietly resolved by the ghost knife, so he thinks that this group of guests is not easy to mess with, and rows honestly.

"Hahaha, the land of rivers and lakes, I advise you to take care of yourself. "The ghost knife is gone.

Sixteen followed her, step by step.

The ghost knife said, "Why are you following me?"

Sixteen: "Can't you?"

"No, I can't. ā€

After walking for a while, Sixteen still followed her, the ghost knife quickened his pace, and Sixteen followed. Walking out of the three miles, the ghost knife was obviously a little impatient, and she couldn't wait to fly away directly with light skills. But in the blizzard, Sixteen seems to be alone, she is also a human being, and she also has feelings, not to mention that the innocent and kind monks in Qingfo Temple have also died because of her, and it is really distressing to leave like this.

She roared, "If you go with me, follow in my footsteps!"

Blizzard is getting bigger.

She always felt that something was wrong, she had to endure the wind and snow so hard, her thick coat was rolled up, the kudzu cloth around her lips was full of ice and snow, and the snow turned into snow and burrowed into her hot neck...... But look at Sixteen, he was even dressed thinly, a thick coarse cloth coat, a red robe inside, a half-pocket cloth, and only a thick hat on the top of his head.

He walked like this, and he was so calm and relaxed, and his lips were bright and full. Repeated transparent barriers protect him.

Seeing that she was having a hard time, Sixteen rushed to her and helped her block most of the snow.

The ghost knife did not appreciate it, and quickly overtook him, preferring to press the hat with his hand and move forward with difficulty. Sixteen just shook his head slightly, and didn't say anything.

After half an hour of trekking through the heavy snow, they finally saw a dilapidated old house.

From a distance, the old house is dilapidated, the crooked neck tree next to the house is withered, there are only three residual leaves on the branches, and it is also full of wind and snow, and its roots are too huge, and the snowstorm that lasts for several days has not buried it, and it is still full of branches.

Sixteen: "Senior brother said that if you take the waterway to Xiaonan County, there is at least twenty miles away, and we won't be able to make it tonight." ā€

She replied, "Then take refuge here!"

"Wow, wow~" Fengxue desperately tried to get in through the crack in the door, and Sixteen worked with her to close the door. The gate was dilapidated, but it was thick, except for a large hole on the right, and the cold wind howled out of it, like a quick knife sharpening the marrow of a person. The ghost knife took off the kudzu cloth and plugged the big hole, and it was suddenly a lot warmer.

She first shook her body, first threw the thick ice and snow on her head and body on the ground, then took out a jet-black fire puff from her sleeve, blew it on her head, and made a fire out of the old wood around her.

The faint flames gradually grow larger, reflecting the surroundings.

This is the house of a large family, but unfortunately it has been abandoned for a long time, I don't know how many years. You can see that there is an attic and a backyard here, and now they are only in the lobby. Those old timbers are beams, and although the beams have collapsed, they are still supported by beams and columns, and they will not fall like this.

Broken floors, dusty old furniture, chilling. Sixteen couldn't help but wonder what had happened to the family back then, and why had the good house been abandoned? Strange to say, this big mansion stood alone in the wilderness, and there were no houses around. Sixteen said: "Strange, could it be that this family lives alone? ā€

The ghost knife said, "Perhaps....... Something terrible has happened. ā€

"What terrible thing can be?"

"The ghost asks for his life, I heard that the ghost is very angry, and the people who are targeted by it, from the old man's wife and concubine, to the pigs, ducks, cattle and sheep, all have to be disemboweled. "She deliberately scared Sixteen.

Sixteen was not afraid of her, and the two did not speak again, dusted off the tables and chairs, and began to rest around the campfire. Sixteen took a nap and suddenly woke up, and he found that the ghost knife was not resting in front of him, and he didn't know where he had gone. Sixteen then opened his shirt and placed the bronze mirror beside the fire, and the mirror suddenly turned into a human form, and sat next to Sixteen with his knees bent. Sixteen said, "What about the frost and snow?"

Jing'er said: "She's just a little monkey, always making trouble. ā€

Sixteen: "It seems that she doesn't like to live in your body, so let her out." ā€

"It's only been less than half a day since I was put in, and I have to go out, how can this guy be like a child. Jing'er muttered as she released the hoarfrost snow. As soon as she came out, she stopped making a fuss, and leaned on Sixteen very calmly. The warm bonfire around him illuminated Sixteen's face brighter and brighter, he knew that the ghost knife would not leave secretly, the blizzard outside the door could almost kill people, and her coat was still stuffed with a big hole, in that case, where did the ghost knife go?

Isn't it really a ghost eaten?
