On the west bank of the Dalu River, there was a member surnamed Yang, who had a stupid son who fell into the Dalu River and drowned.

The water flow of the Dalu River is turbulent, and the corpse diggers are discouraged, and in the place of nearly two hundred miles downstream, there is an open place, called to the ghost beach, the water flow is gentle, and the corpse diggers often go there to intercept the people who fall into the water upstream. After you get it, you will find a corpse chaser and bring it home together.

Chen Lu has always had a question, and at this time he happened to ask: "Uncle, let me interrupt, there is one thing, I have never understood, since people have become ancient, this corpse can be pulled by a car, a horse, or a person, anything, why do you have to use a corpse chaser to bring it back?"

Tian Weng said: "It's different, Lord Chen doesn't know, only the corpse that is rushed back is the combination of spirit and flesh, otherwise he can't return to his hometown to say goodbye to his family, and he will become a lonely ghost." ”

"No wonder you have to pay a lot of money to drive the corpse back to your hometown, I understand, boss, you go on. ”

The Yang family is very powerful in the Shuixi area, and when they found the corpse collector, they found Tian Weng and rushed back with a lot of money.

Tian Weng said: "The next thing Lord Chen may not believe, it is evil and weird, and it is not in the eyes of adults." ”

Chen Lu said: "Although my husband said, I have come here from Beijing, and I have experienced some of these things. ”

Tian Weng continued: This section of the river is called Ghost Beach. Tian Weng also knew that the corpses of more than 1,000 miles of the Dalu River had to be salvaged here, and he also knew that this was a good place to drive away corpses, and he also solicited business here.

At that time, the corpse collector fished out the body of Yang Fool, and Tian Weng contacted several more families, a total of six.

He brought the corpses back, but before he could get out of the five miles, a group of people, to be exact, some corpses blocked the way.

A tall red-haired corpse chaser said to Tian Weng: "I have prepared a car for you in front, and you are the same as other corpse chasers, we will not delay your business, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

He woke up with a thrill, as if it was true but not true, as if it was a dream but not a dream. After a look, there was really a carriage next to him, and he was so frightened that he really wanted to run away.

He stopped the corpses and calmed down, he was already in his seventies at that time, and there were no fewer people in his life who threatened him with the consequences, and he was conceited, so he was conceited, nothing remarkable.

His family in Sizhou has no land, no tea plantation, they are all rented, and they can't even pay the rent. I thought that his family was waiting to be fed, waiting for his money to buy rice and put it in the pot.

He didn't want to deceive people, and besides, he didn't dare to deceive Yang Yuanwai, so he simply didn't care, shook the bell, shouted the trumpet and continued to lead the corpse forward. Before he could get out of half a mile, a flood came out of thin air, washing him and those corpses into the Dalu River.

Just here on the Ghost Beach, he heard the voice of the red-haired corpse chaser: "If you don't listen to persuasion, your charms, antidotes, and soul conjuring bags have all been confiscated by the Narcissus King, from now on, you are not allowed to do this thing again, if you are obsessed, you will be better off than dead." ”

After saying that, they washed Tian Weng to the river bank again, and when he returned home, he did not dare to go to Yang Yuanwai's house to discuss countermeasures with his servants. Unexpectedly, that night, the servant himself secretly went to Yang's house, reported the truth of the matter, said that everything was done by him, and admitted the punishment himself.

Yang Yuanwai was furious, ordered him to be beaten, and in his last anger, cut off his tongue, and ordered that he should not do this business again in the future. Tian Weng later learned that it was his servant who rose up and escaped by himself.

Tian Weng knew that he had offended both parties, folded the servants, was disheartened, and officially quit the business.

After hearing this, Chen Lu didn't understand very much, and asked, "Uncle, I don't have a problem, why don't you let the corpses go to the ghost beach?"

Tian Weng said: "At first, I didn't understand, but then I thought about it, why is it okay to fake a corpse chaser, but really can't? Later, I figured it out, it should be that the Narcissus King didn't want the soul to leave the water realm. ”

Tian Weng looked at Chen Lu and nodded again and again, but did not show a look of surprise or fear, almost as usual, and understood that Chen Lu was not shallow, and he was already surprised.

Chen Lu said: "In this way, the water ghosts within a radius of thousands of miles can't return to their hometowns, so they should be reborn as soon as possible." ”

Tian Weng said: "Exactly. ”

Chen Lu thought, this is someone controlling the river boundary. There is no legendary dragon king in the river, which has been confirmed by Chen Lu, and it may be that the monsters and monsters are making waves.

The purpose of his coming here is the antidote, and the antidote for the old man is going to the ghost beach. Go to the ghost beach, go down to the river to ask for the antidote, it is better to get it back, if you can't find it, let Tian Weng match another pair, this is a person with real skills, Chen Lu's intuition told him.

Chen Lu said to Tian Weng: "Uncle, I'll go to Ghost Beach." ”

Tian Weng was taken aback, saw that Chen Lu's expression was very firm, and then said, "Little Lao'er and adults will go together." ”

Chen Lu saw that his expression was very sincere, and he couldn't bear to refuse, he didn't want the world to know too many secrets, so he said: "My husband told me how far away from here is to go to Ghost Beach, and how to walk the nearest way." ”

Tian Weng said: "Lord Chen, you said that you need an antidote to Xiao Lao'er, you can't tell which one is mine, I am willing to accompany Lord Chen for a while." Xiao Lao'er is more than eighty years old this year, and he will do something for our Great Heavenly Empire, and he will die without regrets. ”

This is the feelings of family and country, Chen Lu sighed in his heart, why is he not like this? Although Tian Weng is over 80 years old, his life is still unknown, and he is calculating his own days every day, so he should be fearless.

Chen Lu thought about it and was funny, he had turned himself into a grade with an old man, which could be regarded as a kind of sympathy. He stopped being verbose and said, "Prepare for us, my husband, and we will leave at noon." ”

The dumb servant made some food, and the two of them had eaten and set off. The two left the foot of the mountain and walked on the official road, Chen Lu asked Tian Weng to get on the horse, he and the dog muttered a few words, and also rode up, and the big green horse took off.

Tian Weng was about to scream, but he fainted in fright, and didn't wake up until he stopped. He looked at Chen Lu with awe and said, "This is it." ”

Chen Lu took a look, and they came to a river valley, and they were standing on a path next to the river valley, on both sides of which were endless mountains, and there was already a shallow green on the mountain. The river channel has widened here, and the water of the Dalu River has slowed down here, but it is still bottomless, and the east and west banks are more than 200 zhang wide.

The blue and green water reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and the light green peaks on both sides. On the other side of the river is the cliff, and there is only this side of the river. There are many people on this shore, Tian Weng said that some are the families of the deceased, some are corpse collectors, and some are corpse chasers.

Chen Lu pulled Tian Weng down the embankment and said, "Uncle, you can shout." ”

Tian Weng hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Give me back my things, return my whip." After shouting three times in a row, the people on the shore looked stupid, and some people knew Tian Weng and thought that this old man had not gone crazy for a few years.

But all they hear is wave after wave of echoes. Chen Lu motioned for him to walk towards the river. Tian Weng tried it and shrank back again.
