Chapter Twenty-Three: The River of Skulls

"Seeking medical treatment? Where to go to the doctor? Ye Xingchuan was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while.

"Brother Ye, don't worry, we originally planned to go to Tongque Mountain to relieve you of Gu, but the situation is urgent, we can only come to Jinling first, and come to Yanyu Pavilion to treat your injuries."

Ye Xingchuan nodded, it seems that the treatment of this Yanyu Pavilion has indeed worked, he feels a lot more relaxed on his legs, and even the feeling of long insects gnawing has disappeared, but at this moment, he is more concerned about Zhou Song's whereabouts.

"I've woken up, why hasn't she come back yet?"

Xiao Bei chuckled and patted Ye Xingchuan's shoulder: "Brother Ye, don't worry, you can rest well for a while, and Miss Zhou will be back soon." ”

"Tell me the truth, where the hell did she go?"

Ye Xingchuan felt anxious for no reason, especially the dream he had during the coma, which made him more and more worried about Zhou Song, worried that Zhou Song would say goodbye without saying goodbye.

Xiao Bei couldn't hide it, and pondered for a moment before slowly replying: "Miss Zhou, follow the people from the Shenji Pavilion and go back." ”

β€”β€”

Two days ago, Zhou Song and Sheng Feiying returned from a martial arts competition, and they saw Xiao Bei and the little insect in the inn, full of big fish and meat in front of them, and the two of them were feasting.

Zhou Song had already spent all the money he had brought, and they had been helping people with chores for the past few days, and they would never be able to afford the price of such a big meal.

"Where did you get the money?"

Zhou Song immediately ran to them and took the chopsticks that Xiao Beizheng was stretching out for the saltwater duck, and was surprised.

Xiao Bei's mouth was stuffed with food, and he wiped his mouth without hesitating his image, swallowed the contents of his mouth, and pointed to the box in the corner: "Oh, before you came back, Yanyu Pavilion sent someone to send a box of bounty over." ”

"After eating white flour steamed buns for so long, I can finally eat another meal!"

Xiao Beigui is the prince of the Eagle Kingdom, but now he has been reduced to eating steamed buns in a foreign country, which is really miserable.

Zhou Song and Sheng Feiying looked at each other, and thought in unison: "This Yanyu Pavilion is really efficient."

The two walked over, moved their bounties into the room, and counted them.

Zhou Song opened the box and found that in addition to some silver taels, there were also some pills necessary for walking the rivers and lakes, she silently packed it up, and found a note pressed at the bottom of the box:

"Today's hospitality is not good, and I hope that the girl will come to the Yanyu Pavilion in person tomorrow, and the results will be known."

She looked at the note and smiled, "It's really high-sounding." ”

On the second day, Zhou Song got up early in the morning and went out, and there was not only Sheng Feiying at the door of the inn, but also Shi Wuxin.

This Yanyu Pavilion called her and Sheng Feiying, she was not surprised at all, but when she saw Shi Wuxin, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Shi Wuxin had anything to do with this matter?

After thinking about it, she stepped forward to greet the two: "Miss Sheng, release the Buddha." ”

Shi Wuxin completely lost yesterday's arrogant and domineering appearance, but returned the salute respectfully: "Two girls, how rude yesterday was, I Shi is a rough person, and I hope the two of you don't care." ”

Zhou Song and Sheng Feiying looked at each other, smiled, and hurriedly said, "It's not in the way."

"This Smoke and Rain Pavilion is built on top of the river, and the Smoke and Rain Pavilion will send someone to pick us up later." Sheng Feiying Road.

The terrain in Jinling area is flat, there are many rivers, many houses are built by the water, and the Yanyu Pavilion is no exception, but the area of the Yanyu Pavilion is huge, if no one leads it, take the unfamiliar waterway, it is easy to have problems.

The three of them were chatting while waiting for the people of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion. After chatting for a long time, another young woman stepped forward and said to them:

"Let the three of you wait for a long time, I'll take the three of you into the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, the boat is here, and please come with me."

The maiden led them into the boat, arranged for them to be put into the cabin, and went to the stern alone.

Shi Wuxin drank tea in the cabin, drank a little, and then looked restless, and soon, he also went to the stern.

"Girl, you are rowing hard, I will help you." The girl rowed alone, and he couldn't see it, so he stepped forward and enthusiastically proposed.

"The Buddha is a distinguished guest, I can do such a thing." The girl politely refused, but Shi Wuxin still took the oars and rowed the boat hard.

"I'll do my best, girl, you just look in the direction."

"That's really thanking the Buddha."

The girl had no choice but to return to the cabin to help Sheng Feiying and Zhou Song pour tea.

"What's your name, girl?" Sheng Feiying took the tea and asked.

"The little woman's name is Xia Ying."

Sheng Feiying nodded, and chatted with Zhou Song with a match.

Chatting and chatting, Zhou Song realized that something was wrong, not to mention that the waterway was too long, it was still winding and winding, and the cabin was getting colder and colder, and even the cabin was foggy.

"I'll go out and see the Buddha."

Zhou Song was not at ease, and went out to check, but saw Shi Wuxin sitting on the bow of the boat in frustration, not rowing, and drooping his head listlessly.

A strange feeling flooded over his heart, and Shi Wuxin's back seemed to be withered, and his clothes fluttered with the strange wind.

She rushed forward, and Shi Wuxin turned her head stiffly-

"Karakora"

With a strange sound, what looked at Zhou Song was clearly an empty skeleton!

Before Zhou Song could call Sheng Feiying, he heard a strange noise, and two white skeletons also came out of the cabin.

She felt creepy for a moment, and three skeletons slowly walked towards her, and she looked around, but there was nothing but the vast fog and the endless lake!

The originally clear water of the lake became pitch black, like an abyss that could swallow people in an instant.

Experience tells her that it must be a hallucination, and someone wants to use the hallucination to drive her to a corner, and she has only two choices, one is to stay in the boat, and the other is to jump into the river.

The three corpses were about to lean over, and behind her, a miserable white hand also stretched out from the surface of the lake!

Zhou Song stretched out his hand and drew his sword, intending to deal with the skeleton, when suddenly, a hand grabbed her ankle tightly and dragged her into the river!

She didn't have a choice from the start.

The river was pouring in from all directions, and Zhou Song tried his best to swim upstream, but one hand pulled her ankles, wrists, and clothes, as if she was alive, scrambling to drag her down!

The icy river was engulfing her tightly, and she couldn't move, let alone a pair of hands trying to swallow her into the abyss!

It didn't take long for her to be exhausted, and the salty river water poured into her mouth and nose, diluting her consciousness. She kept slapping the water around her, her sinking body, the feeling of suffocation, always reminding her of her imminent drowning.

She can't die like this, she wants to save Ye Xingchuan!

In the moment of distraction, this thought kept flooding her mind, and she couldn't just die in vain.

Zhou Song resisted desperately, and used all his strength to take off the clothes on his body one by one, and the panicked hand that reached up at the bottom of the river tore fiercely as soon as he got the clothes, Zhou Song didn't dare to look behind at all, she hurried up to go upstream.

As the light became stronger and stronger, Zhou Song finally found the shore, she held the shore tightly with both hands, and there was no extra strength to support her to climb ashore for the time being.

However, there was still someone waiting for her on the shore.

"I didn't expect this method to really force you out."

Zhou Song was lying on the shore when she heard a voice sounding coldly above her head.

That voice will not be forgotten until he dies - Mu Ke!

Before she could react, another hand climbed up to her calf, and this time, Muko took her by the hand and pulled her ashore.

Zhou Song didn't think much about it, grabbed Mu Ke's shirt and spit out the river water on him.

Mu Ke didn't struggle, just frowned slightly, and said: "Under the river, there are all the people you killed, Zhou Song, you really do a lot of evil." ”

Zhou Song didn't answer, spit out the river water, gasped twice, and coughed violently.

She was covered with only undershirts, and the biting autumn wind drilled the cold into her bone marrow, freezing her to shiver.

Mu Ke took off the cloak on his body and draped it on Zhou Song: "Then Ye Xingchuan is so good?" You're so embarrassed. ”

"Didn't you make the hell?" Zhou Song glared at him viciously, but Mu Ke smiled wickedly.

There is something strange about the water in the Yanyu Pavilion, yes, Zhou Song has also heard of it, that river will reflect the sins committed by a person in his past life and this life, and the people he killed in his previous life will sink to the bottom of the river, waiting for the boat to pass by, waiting for the opportunity to move.

But never hearing of it can cause people to hallucinate, at least not to let others see the skeleton. Those hallucinations are probably just made by Mu Ke in order to force Zhou Song to jump into the river.

In order to catch her, Mu Ke really tried his best to even join forces with Yanyu Pavilion, but he didn't expect that after being trapped for so long in his previous life, he would be caught in the next life.

"How do I get to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion?" Zhou Song pushed him away, his tone cold, "You tell me, and I will go with you later." ”

Mu Ke smiled, as if he was sure that Zhou Song couldn't go, and said bluntly: "You don't have a boat, of course you can only swim through the river." ”

There are hundreds of unjust souls who died under Zhou Song's hands, and if they swim over, they will definitely die.

Zhou Song clenched his fists, if she gave up like this, Ye Xingchuan would die.

"Muko, don't you want me to go back with you? It doesn't matter if it's a corpse? ”

"If you jump, I will save you, no matter how many times you jump, I will save you, don't try to escape."

Muko narrowed menacingly.

Zhou Song ignored him, walked to the river, threw away his cloak, and seemed to be ready to jump again.

"Don't be stupid......!!"

Mu Ke is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and when he says this, he actually doesn't want her to jump. As soon as he saw Zhou Song walking to the river, his heart tightened, and he wanted to step forward and pull her back, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was grabbed by Zhou Song and pushed him hard at Hanoi: "You don't want my corpse either, do you?" ”

"Zhou Song, you-"

Before the words fell, Mu Ke had already "pounced" and fell into the river, Zhou Song saw the opportunity and jumped into the river.

Those hands at the bottom of the river were wrapping around Mu Ke, ignoring Zhou Song for the time beingβ€”or rather, it was Mu Ke who was helping Zhou Song delay time, no matter what, Zhou Song swam up desperately, Mu Ke helped her, but this was the reward she deserved for working hard for the Shenji Pavilion in her previous life.

Mu Ke was alone with those strange things, and Zhou Song didn't travel long before he saw a boat not far away.

She immediately swam over, only to hear an exclamation that was too familiar to be more familiar: "Oh, Miss Zhou, why are you in the river?!" ”
