The idea in my heart is very decisive, and I will never give up unless I find the entrance of Huangquan Road. Fatty Xu asked me for a long time, and when he heard that I was going to Huangquan Road, he obviously started thinking about it.
In the past few years, the incident on Huangquan Road has been raged because of the battle between Qiankun Road and Human Road. Many people know Huangquan Road, but no one has actually been there. According to the general idea, the battle between Qian Kun Dao and the human world must be broken because of the huge conflict of interests.
"Thirteen." Fatty Xu has always been the master of the light. After pondering for a while, he said to me righteously: "You are still young now. Although you have improved in your kung fu, you still lack experience. Go to Huangquan Road, I will hold the line for you."
"No, let me tell you first, there is nothing good in Huangquan Road."
"Lie to me, lie to me?" Fatty Xu waved his hand: "What good things are not good things, am I such a person? Looking at the entire big river beach, who doesn’t know that I’m Xu’s righteousness. Money is dung, so don't say anything, this is all set."
Fatty Xu insisted on not leaving, and decided that Huangquan Road must be good, but I couldn't help it. When the three people left from Hulukou, I went to the riverside to take a look.
The river seemed calmer than before, and there were no more fish and no bloodstains surging up. I think the corpse hunter in Huangquan may have drifted to other places underwater.
Where did he go, I don't know, whether his poison can be resolved, I don't know. Although, before this, I had various opinions about him, but this time, I knew it well.
He is unwilling to drag me down, just like all fathers in the world. When they are strong, they are willing to protect their children. When they are old and weak, they will spend the rest of their lives in a corner silently.
The love of parents is always great. I don't know how to evaluate Huangquan Corpse Collector, but I know that he is a good father.
"Don't be sad." When Fatty Xu saw me hesitating, he persuaded me from the side: "Thirteen, I told you that you have to believe in the fate in this world. There is no way, don’t think so much."
I nodded, pushing the boat into the river, and the three people left from the gourd mouth by boat.
After the gourd mouth, the river widens and the water flow tends to be flat. After the annual flood season, people who depend on the river for food will always be busy for a while, in order to save some money before the winter, so that they can survive. Bitter winter. We went down the river, and everywhere we could see fishermen who were fishing, as well as boats gathering sand.
There are more people in the river, so you can ask for news. However, I think the entrance of Huangquan Road will not appear in a crowded place. For two days, three people kept looking for the little one stolen from the dog king. The dog did not respond.
Another day later, we arrived near a village called Fengying. This village I passed by before was considered a big village, with one hundred and twenty-three households and hundreds of people. The river in Fengying is very wide. Except during the flood season, you can go down to the river to fish. Almost all the people in the village live by fishing.
However, when we arrived at Fengying, we only saw more than a dozen small fishing boats on the shore, and the villagers were walking back and forth along the river.
No one went down to the river to fish. After a short while, a group of people came from the village, carrying things like tribute incense candles.
When a group of people arrived, the villagers surrounded the past. I have seen this situation more than once. People who sail in a big river and walk in the water have to sacrifice to the river god and dragon king every year to ensure a year of peace. It's just that now it's time to retake the ship, not yet the time to sacrifice.
The three of us stopped the boat and went up to the river bank. The sacrifice was a major event. Every time the sacrifice was made, people nearby would come and watch. Almost all the people in the village arrived and made a big circle.
After looking at it for a while, I felt that they were offering sacrifices to the Dragon King, and offering sacrifices to the Dragon King on the river beach. The forms of offering sacrifices to the River God were different.
Outside the crowd, there was an old man, probably because his legs and feet were not convenient. He lived with a walking stick and sat on a rock, watching the scene not far away. When the three of us came to the old man, Xu Fatty was very good at talking to people. After seeing the old man, he went up to talk to him for a while.
"Brother, your legs are inconvenient, do you have old cold legs?" Fatty Xu looked at the old man up and down, and said, "Did you always go to the river in winter in the early years?"
"Can you tell?" The old man was slightly startled when he heard Fatty Xu's words, and said, "There is no way, the family is poor, and the six children have to eat. They can't be idle all year round, even in winter. So, once I came and went, I got this problem. Fortunately, the children are now grown up and can work."
"They are all able to work, but you suffer from your leg, brother, I have a prescription here to treat old cold legs. I wrote it for you. You can take the medicine according to the prescription and take it for a while All right."
"Can old cold legs be cured?"
"Yes, my prescription is very effective. I won't take your money and give you the prescription. If it doesn't work, you can smoke me." Xu Fatty found a pen and paper, wrote a prescription for the old man, and wrote He muttered a lot while muttering, he is a cultivator, and he knows a lot about the medicine and stones. When did the old man meet such a vernacular person? Not long after he was said to be in the cloud, he said to Fatty Xu. Admire the five-body cast to the ground.
When Fatty Xu got to know the old man, the sacrifices over there came to the most important section. Fatty Xu sat next to the old man and asked: "This is not a year or a festival. Why does your village come to offer sacrifices to the river at this time?"
"Stop the calamity." The old man said, "If you don't sacrifice to the priest, I'm afraid that something will happen again."
"What's the matter?"
The old man said that his village is very busy at this time of the year, and every household is busy fishing. Because the nearby rivers are wide and after the flood season, the water waves are gentle and there has never been anything wrong.
Just a few days ago, seven or eight people in the village took three small boats and went down to the river to fish just after the day was polished. Who knows, not long after they got into the water, all three boats sank. Except for one man who fiddled with fishing nets on the shore and escaped by chance, all the rest sank with the boat.
This kind of shipwreck is extremely rare, and it is generally impossible for a calm river to have such a situation. The man on the bank was frightened and hurried back to the village. When he told the story, the people in the village came to look for it, but they didn't find any traces.
When the sky was bright all the time, the villagers saw something suddenly appeared in the place where the three boats sank. These east
Xi drifted along the water to the shore. Everyone saw that it was the hats and coats of the people on the boat.
The people were gone, only the hat and jacket floated to the shore. This strange scene made everyone feel stunned and felt that something must have been a collision.
The villagers depend on the river for food, and the whole family will go hungry if they don't go down to the river. It's just that when you encounter this kind of thing, no one can do it. They all feel that they have offended the Dragon King. Therefore, the talents in the village decided to sacrifice to the Dragon King with great fanfare to keep the party safe.
When the old man said here, the sacrifices were thrown into the river, and the sacrifices entered the river. Even if the sacrifice was basically over, there was a lion dance in the end. The children are waiting for the lion dance, watching the fun.
I talked with Baijue Taoist in a low voice for a while. Although I didn’t see how the three boats sank with my own eyes, but listening to the old man’s account, we felt that the boat sank very strangely. If there is no external cause, the boat is impossible. Submerged for no reason.
What's more, the fishermen by the river are all well watered. The boat sinks, and people cannot wait to die with the boat, but none of the people on the boat escaped. This is full of strange things.
I want to stay here and take a look. Baijue Taoists themselves love to be lively and naturally do their part.
Once the sacrifice was over, the lion danced for another half an hour, and the crowd slowly dispersed until noon. Just after the sacrifice, people still can't go down to the river, because they have to wait for the Dragon Lord to receive the tribute and after the anger is relieved, people can go into the water to ensure safety.
Therefore, the villagers dispersed and went back to their villages, and will not start going down the river until tomorrow.
The three of us stayed on the side of the river. In broad daylight, there must be nothing to see. The three of us agreed to keep an hour and stare at the river intently.
From noon to the evening, Fatty Xu couldn't bear it. He felt that he was wasting time and making a fortune here. Baijue Taoist and I ignored him, Xu Fatty murmured for a while, but could only shut up.
After dusk, it gets dark early, night falls, moonlight falls, and the river surface shines brightly. The three of them stayed alone for a while, and the rest took turns to rest.
In this kind of place, it is impossible to sleep too well, just sleep on a fake sleep, to nurture the spirit, I have always heard the wind and the sound of the river flowing in my ears, and by the middle of the night, the puppy on Baijue Taoist suddenly moved.
This puppy is usually very honest and quiet, but at this moment, he straightened up suddenly, looking at the river, opening his mouth and screaming. Baijue Taoist had a sharp eye and quickly reached out his hand to cover the puppy's mouth, and whispered: "Don't say anything. !"
The puppy was reprimanded by Baijue Taoist and stopped saying anything. We raised our eyes and looked in the direction where the puppy was looking. At first glance, we felt that the surface of the river was calm and impermanent.
But after a while, Fatty Xu, who was guarding the river, suddenly ran back with a cat waist, patted me and Baijue Taoist, and followed closely, the turbid river water flowing from the river channel to the shore seemed to be rolled up one piece after another. Ripples, that formation is like something coming out in the water.
The drowsiness on his body disappeared cleanly, and the three of them waited in a serious array, hiding in the dark, staring unblinkingly at the shallow water by the river.
Before and after it was just a bag of cigarettes, a stream of river water rushed over again. Following the stream of water, I clearly saw a person wrapped in the water. When the wave reached the shore, this person was also pushed onto the river bank along with the wave.
