Chapter 256: Haunting ghosts on the banks of the Yellow River
Less than half a day's boat ride, the creek was incorporated into the mainstream.
"I haven't seen the Yellow River for hundreds of years, but the water of the Yellow River has become so muddy. Di Yunfeng looked at the river and sighed, the world has been vicissitudes for a hundred years, and the current Yellow River water, scooping a scoop of muddy water, will die if it falls.
"Yun Feng, didn't you say that the Yellow River is the mother river of your Dayan......? It's dirty. Mu Xue said.
Di Yunfeng pointed upstream and said: "Let's go upstream, at most, three hundred miles, we will enter the situation of the Loess Plateau, where the west is north, the famous culture is peculiar, and the ancient Hexi Corridor will pass through there." Before I left Dayan, it was called the 'lawless zone', and the security was very poor, and a big girl like you didn't dare to come out during the day," Speaking of this, he remembered some past events, so he asked Mu Xueyi: "By the way, do you remember that evil dragon's lackey? That Xuanjie wolf demon, it was hacked to death by me in the Great Northwest. ”
Mu Xueyi nodded and said, "When I left the world, I released my divine sense to search for the traces of the wolf king, and it escaped by recognition, so I didn't track it anymore." ”
Di Yunfeng poked Mu Xueyi's forehead and sneered: "You said that you are still a fairy, I slaughtered the evil dragon, and I killed the wolf king, you not only suffered an injury, but also gave me your body, you ......"
"You're not happy!" Mu Xue covered her forehead, glared at Di Yunfeng, turned around and was about to enter the cabin, but at this moment, something suddenly hit the boat, the force of the object was not large, but the touch of the impact was very clear.
"The smell of blood. Mu Xueyi sniffled and paused.
"The nose is pretty bright. Di Yunfeng said, propping up the bamboo pole and inserting it at the river, and then slightly lifting, a black-clothed corpse was exposed to the water.
"Looking at the face of the deceased, it should have just died. There were multiple wounds on his body, the shape of which was caused by a sharp weapon, and the most fatal blow, which was also the one that ended his life, was in the neck. Mu Xueyi pursed her lips and analyzed.
Di Yunfeng shrugged off the corpse, gave Mu Xueyi a thumbs up, and praised: "Not bad, yes, you have learned a lot of things with me." ”
Mu Xueyi snorted lightly: "That man's wounds are still bleeding, and a fool knows that he was just killed." ”
People have indeed just died, and their blood may still be warm.
Di Yunfeng snorted, catching the fishy smell and murderous aura in the air, and said, "Three miles upstream, there are two groups of people fighting, about sixty or seventy people...... I recommend a detour. ”
Mu Xue stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck and looked ahead, but after looking at it for a while, she didn't only find two small dots, "Oh, take a look at this?" Di Yunfeng smiled and handed over a telescope.
Mu Xueyi took the binoculars and looked at it for a while, and exclaimed, "Hey, look, one of them is actually the stone hall master we met earlier...... He seemed to be besieged. ”
Di Yunfeng said with a smile: "With his ability, if the other party doesn't come to the master, he shouldn't be able to die." The plot in the rivers and lakes is changeable, the advantage in the last second, and the disadvantage may appear in the next second. ”
Sure enough, within a second, I heard Mu Xueyi exclaim: "If it's really as you said, someone rushed ten miles to relieve the siege, guess who the person who broke the siege was?"
Di Yunfeng sat down at the bow of the boat and said slowly: "If you let me guess, then it proves that the person who broke the siege is the one I have seen, and today we have seen two people, one is the master of the stone hall, and the other is a middle-aged swordsman." ”
"That's right! It's the middle-aged swordsman who likes men!" Mu Xueyi was puzzled again: "But why are they still fighting to the death by the stream in the morning, and they are the same enemy in the afternoon?"
Di Yunfeng said with a smile: "You only know a few words about them, how can you conclude that they are enemies......? Maybe the two of them are still 'lovers'. ”
"Huh!" Mu Xue rubbed the goosebumps on her body, threw the binoculars back to Di Yunfeng and said, "If these two have that kind of relationship, I won't be interested in watching it anymore." ”
Di Yunfeng laughed a few times, changed a few qi blades in the air, and sent them towards the place of the fight without looking too much.
"Who did you kill?" Mu Xueyi snatched the binoculars to look at it again, and the next moment he exclaimed: "All dead!"
"If they continue to fight like this, more people will die sooner or later, so it is better to kill them and let this world enjoy a little more peace. ”
Di Yunfeng gently flicked his sleeves, discharged the hundreds of floating corpses and blood in front of the boat, and used his thoughts as a power to push the boat upstream against the current.
......
......
The higher it flowed, the more turbid the water of the Yellow River became, and the flow gradually expressed, if it weren't for Di Yunfeng's mental power, the boat would not be able to move an inch.
Gradually, at sunset and dusk, the sky and the river were yellow beyond recognition, and Di Yunfeng felt that this dusk was a little unsightly for the first time.
"It's not early, let's go ashore to eat delicious food, after this village, there is no such shop, and when we reach the loess high slope, you can't eat anything delicious if you want to." ”
Di Yunfeng still felt more down-to-earth and comfortable, so he slowly sailed the boat to the shore. The edge of the Yellow River is actually very rough, a large area of withered yellow water hyacinth, there is basically no wharf, and even if you find a gap to go up, the front of the bank is still far away from the real solid land, and the middle is full of sediment, accidentally falling in, and your life has to be lost.
"Yun Feng, you said that the Yellow River is so muddy, are there any fish?" Mu Xueyi asked.
"Sediment does not have much impact on the survival of fish, there are not only fish in the Yellow River, but also the fish meat is fat and delicious, and the taste is superior, and I will take you to taste the 'saury' in the Yellow River when I go ashore later," At this time, Di Yunfeng pointed to the rows of swaying fishing boats on the shore and said: "See, that is the Yellow River fishing boats, and we can buy first-hand goods from them when we go ashore later, and the price can be much cheaper." ”
Mu Xueyi looked at it for a while, but said: "But I don't think they are fishing, you see, there are many people." ”
At night, a torch was lit on the side of the Yellow River, and the firelight burned redder than the sunset and hazy than dusk...... The Yellow River is so turbulent that fishermen usually cast their nets at night, but rarely work at night.
"Let's see, maybe something interesting. ”
Di Yunfeng drove the boat a little faster, sailing through the hazy dusk, and when he was about to get closer to the shore, the night starry river had gradually fallen, and only bright fires were left on the empty river beach.
There is a simple wharf on the bank of the river, on which are docked thirty or forty wind-decayed fishing boats, the span of the wharf is very large, seventy or eighty zhang long, but the width does not occupy three or four zhang, the first three points can get water, but the last seven points are all across the silt.
At intervals on the pier, a person stands on the left and right sides, and people hold torches and do not move. At the end of the wharf, there is a table of eight immortals, on which there are sheep's heads and pig's heads and some fruit offerings, and there is a platform behind the table of eight immortals, which is full of yellow paper and gossip array diagrams and some tools for opening the altar and making methods.
Behind the platform, there was an old Taoist in a yellow robe, more than sixty Taoists, thin and tall, and his beard and hair had white marks.
There were two apprentices standing beside Lao Dao, thirteen or fourteen years old, a man and a woman, the young man carried a wooden sword on his back, and the girl held two pennants.
The evening breeze on the riverbank blew quite strongly, raising the hem of the clothes of the three Taoists, which really had a bit of a vulgar temperament.
There were four people behind the Taoist priest, standing respectfully, two kneeling and crying; the two who were standing were already middle-aged, with a slightly fat posture, dressed in jade and wealthy, and should be rich people. The two kneeling men, a man and a woman, were also middle-aged, but they were wearing ragged cloth clothes, and they cried even more heartbreakingly.
"Xue'er, weren't you curious about what a human Taoist priest is? ”
"That person looks like Gou Laodao. ”
"Taoist priests generally look like this, but it is unknown if they are not gods. ”
Di Yunfeng wanted to dock the boat, but was told to stop ten feet away from the pier: "Hey, where are you from?"
"We are the fairy world" Mu Xueyi opened her mouth to answer, Di Yunfeng hurriedly covered her mouth, gave a look, and replied: "We are from the Middle Plains, it is dark, and we want to go ashore by a pier." ”
"Hurry up, this dock won't let you dock now. The fisherman said.
Di Yunfeng said: "Uncle, be accommodating, you see where there is a second wharf within a radius of 100 miles, and if you go up again, you will have to go to the tiger's mouth, where the water is so turbulent and dangerous." ”
The fishermen knew how to understand water and knew that Di Yunfeng was right, so they thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, you wait a minute, I'll ask our village chief." ”
The fisherman turned around and walked to a rich man standing in the middle of the pier, pointed to Di Yunfeng and explained the situation, and after a while, he ran back and said, "You guys come over the boat, go around in a circle from the upstream, don't block the avenue!"
"Okay!" Di Yunfeng readily agreed, complying with the fishermen's request, and the boat went around the upstream before slowly approaching the shore. When they got out of the boat, the fisherman shouted again, "Come and pay the rent, not three times as much as the fishermen in our village." ”
Di Yunfeng still had some silver saved in the fairy world, but when he was about to take it out and pay for it, the real money turned into sand and soil without weight, and the style was like a spirit stone with exhausted spiritual power, "How can this be?" Di Yunfeng lifted his sleeves and exclaimed: "It's still good in my sleeves, how can it be taken out and turned into stone?"
Mu Xueyi seized the opportunity to laugh and said, "You don't understand, do you? Between the non-parallel boundaries, currency will turn into stone, whether it is gold or silver spirit stones." ”
"Cut, I've thought of this question a long time ago, otherwise wouldn't those merchants be going crazy?" Di Yunfeng took a breath on his cuffs again, and finally took out a few taels of silver, which was used in the Zhenwu Kingdom, Zhenwu is parallel to the human world, and the currency can be circulated.
Di Yunfeng handed over the silver, and the fishermen told them to leave quickly, saying that the Heavenly Master wanted to open the altar, and the living needed to avoid it.
"Uncle, let's stay and have a long experience, what is this bull-nosed old way doing?" Mu Xueyi refused to leave.
"Bull-nosed old man, boy, how dare you be disrespectful to the Heavenly Master!" The fisherman was frightened, and hurriedly pushed Di Yunfeng and Mu Xueyi away and said, "Go and go, don't be blind here, what's so good about opening the altar?"
Di Yunfeng smiled, stuffed two taels of silver into the fisherman's mobile phone and said, "Uncle, let's see if you won't lose a piece of meat, be accommodating." ”
The fisherman is also a person who accepts it when he sees it, and hurriedly puts away the silver for fear that others will see it, so he waved his hand slightly: "Just look, don't make a sound, otherwise I won't be responsible for what happens." ”
Di Yunfeng took the opportunity to ask again: "Uncle, what happened here?
Mu Xueyi covered her mouth and smiled: "Just return the dragon lord in this muddy water ditch, even my haha and ears can't accommodate ......"
"Hey, me
Why do you talk so badly, you kid, you look like you're sven?" criticized the fisherman angrily.
"It was meant to be"
"Okay, don't you talk, okay? I don't have any money in my pocket. Di Yunfeng pinched his brows, dragged Mu Xueyi back to his side, sighed lightly, and said, "It's that I shouldn't have opened this chatterbox, I have invited the Taoist chief, I must have subdued demons and eliminated demons." ”
The fisherman glared at Mu Xueyi, and Xiao Zan Di Yunfeng said: "It's still this young man who knows how to do it, Wu Tianshi is here to catch ghosts and eliminate demons." ”
"There are indeed a lot of rumors of ghosts and monsters in the Yellow River, but I haven't heard much about what really happened.
The fisherman was silent for a while before nodding and whispering: "This kind of thing is unlucky, and the village chief is not allowed to tell outsiders, but the matter is so evil that people don't say that it is still rotten in the stomach? ”
"Recently, there have been many strange things on the side of the Yellow River, the fish that have been caught are black and smelly, and some unlucky fellows have walked to the middle of the river and encountered the turbulence of the whirlpool, and the people and boats have been stirred in, and the bones are gone. ”
The fisherman pointed to the couple who were crying on their knees, and said, "That couple is usually very busy with fishing, and sometimes when they are too busy, the man will ask the woman to help with them, and the woman will bring the child with her." But just yesterday, the two were busy unloading the goods when they neglected the child's direction, and when they turned around, they found that the child, who was just over a year old, was rushing towards the dock. The man hurriedly put down his work and ran over to stop him, but before he could get closer, a water ghost climbed ashore and dragged the child down!"
The fisherman sighed: "It's a pity that these two couples only have such a son in their thirties, and then make such a tragedy...... Alas, I was sad to see it. ”
Mu Xueyi regretted: "The baby's physique is special, it is the product of the combination of yin and yang, and it is the best nutrition for demons and monsters. ”
Di Yunfeng frowned and asked, "Uncle, do you know what that water ghost looks like?"
"I didn't see it, I didn't see it, where can I see that filthy thing?" The fisherman was very taboo about the word "water ghost", and shook his head like a rattle, and he added: "But I heard that the water ghost is thin like a monkey, with wolf claws and tiger teeth, black and swarthy, red eyes, and a special witchcraft to seduce people. ”
Di Yunfeng knew in his heart that the fishermen's words were a bit exaggerated, and in his hometown, he often said that the water ghost kappa was just a large baby fish caught by the industry.
"Okay, okay, the immortal chief is going to open the altar, you must not make a sound, whatever the Taoist chief commands!" the fishermen hurriedly walked to the dock.
...... "Xue'er, what do you think?" Di Yunfeng asked Mu Xueyi behind him. Mu Xueyi pursed her lips and said, "Xue'er is very stupid, Xue'er doesn't know anything." Di Yunfeng shrugged his shoulders and said meaninglessly: "I think so, even that fisherman looks down on you, you must not know what's going on." Mu Xueyi narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, "Speak as if you know what's going on." "I don't know what's going on, but I can roughly guess it......" Di Yunfeng thought for a while and said, "I guess it's the invasion of some kind of man-eating demon beast in the Yellow River, which caused the Yellow River to whirlpool frequently, and the water ghosts are the same." Mu Xueyi immediately retorted: "It's strange, there are occasionally some goblins in the world, and the sea beasts all survive in the region, if there are sea beasts in this Yellow River, then there must be other water tribes." Even the water tribe is there, can you still call it the world here?" Di Yunfeng gave a thumbs up, laughing like a smile, and praised: "You still have a little truth in what you said." Mu Xueyi snorted lightly: "You don't believe that you go into the water to see, if you can find out what demon beasts, I will count you as powerful." "I'll definitely go down and see it later, don't you want to see how to do it? Di Yunfeng pointed to the old yellow robe on the dock, with a big seal on his chest, and a gossip array behind him, he shook the bell in his hand, and there were words in his mouth, after a while, he grabbed a piece of yellow paper on the road table, and lit it out of thin air, followed by another set of vibrating words, and when the yellow paper burned out, he threw the ashes into a bowl of realgar wine in front of him, and drank while reciting the words. When the bowl of wine was wrapped in his mouth, he grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and threw it into the air, and the wine squirted out with a "poof" sound! The wine at the outlet was suddenly ignited, and the burning glutinous rice made a "crackling" sound, and the burning fire was three feet wide! The villagers on the side were dumbfounded! If they had seen the excitement as usual, they would have practiced and clapped their hands, but this occasion was not for juggling. "The sword is coming!" Lao Dao's right hand was spread out, and the young man beside him hurriedly took off the peachwood sword and put it in Lao Dao's hand! Lao Dao took the wooden sword, immediately compared a set of sword moves, and shouted: "What kind of ghostly ghost, spare the peace of the world, I will spare you...... Demons and monsters leave quickly, Taishang Laojun is like a law!" In the old way, the two men rocked a rather large fishing boat and docked on the dock one after the other, Lao Dao put away the sword move behind his back, and ordered the two disciples: "Take the guys, let's go to the middle of the river to catch demons!" The old Tao took the lead in the first place, and the two disciples each took out two burdens from under the Taoist platform and carried them on their backs, and followed the old Tao to get on the boat together. "Immortal Chang has a good journey!" The two middle-aged people who had been blessed sent upwards together. "Huang Yuanwai, Village Chief Li, don't worry, this way will get rid of the monsters that are troublesome, and return the village to peace!" The old man was excited, and with a wave of his hand, he gave an order: "Start the boat!" The boat left the dock, and the villagers also put down the torches in their hands and surrounded the dock to see each other off. "Let's go, let's go join in the fun now. Di Yunfeng took Mu Xueyi's hand and trotted towards the dock.
