After the group had their fill, they came to the river. The water in the distance was peaceful. From time to time, fish would approach the water surface, bringing about sparkling ripples.
They had to go through the waterway to get to the Tomb of Lu. Wu Sansheng found a boatman, and after making some arrangements, he called everyone to board the boat.
The boatman was an old man who was always smiling. However, Gu Feng felt that something was wrong when he saw him like this. How could there be such a good service attitude in this society?
This wasn't Haidilao!
Wu Sansheng, Wu Xie, and the man who was obsessed with eating noodles sat together. Gu Feng and Huo Xiuxiu sat separately.
Huo Xiuxiu stared at the young man who had been silent all this while. His face was pale and he didn't say anything. Out of curiosity, she asked,""Third Uncle, who is this? Is it someone from your Wu family?"
Wu Sansheng shook his head and explained,""This is an expert I hired with a high salary. His name is Zhang Qi Ling. He's just a little boring, but don't worry. I guarantee that he'll do things steadily and beautifully for you.”
"One is a burden, and the other is a burden. How interesting.”Huo Xiuxiu laughed and teased them.
The others also smiled.
There was no expression on his face, as if he had not heard what she had just said. This made Huo Xiuxiu wonder if he was deaf and could not hear her.
Gu Feng shrugged his shoulders indifferently and then stuck his head out to look at the side of the boat, wanting to see if there were any fish under the water.
"We will pass through a cave later. You must be careful when you speak. Don't alarm the River God, do you hear me?”The boatman's expression changed. His voice and voice were both vigorous, and he looked very serious.
"Alright." Huo Xiuxiu thought the boatman was talking about her, so she nodded in embarrassment.
"What cave?" Wu Sansheng asked.
"I heard that it's the cave of King Yama. We can't wake him up after we enter.”
Wu Xie pursed his lips. He had never believed in these monsters.
The boatman gradually slowed down and paddled the boat.
Zhang Qi Ling saw the boatman's actions and narrowed his eyes, staring at the man.
Zhang Qi Ling raised his head and saw Gu Feng staring at the boatman with a cautious look on his face. He couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Could it be that he also saw through it?"
Suddenly, the boat shook slightly. Gu Feng quickly attacked and charged towards the boatman.
Zhang Qi Ling also felt it and quickly rushed over.
Gu Feng's hand was very fast. He wrapped around the boatman's hand and hooked his hand behind his back, making him unable to move.
"Ah!"
The boatman was shocked by this action. His eyes widened in fear. He did not expect this person to make a move.
When Zhang Qi Ling saw Gu Feng's technique, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Who did you learn this grappling technique from?”
This was the first time Zhang Qi Ling had spoken to question Gu Feng.
Gu Feng did not answer. He was waiting for the ship to stabilize.
Wu Sansheng and Wu Xie had yet to figure out what was going on, but Wu Sansheng saw that Zhang Qi Ling had moved and raised this rare question, so he became even more cautious.
"Gu Feng, what are you doing!" Huo Xiuxiu quickly asked. The boatman was an old man, and his body was probably not in good condition. Gu Feng's actions might cause harm to the boatman.
"Gu Feng, don't be reckless." Wu Xie added. The old man was steering this ship. If something went wrong, they would not have a good time.
Zhang Qi Ling shook his head and said in an extremely certain tone,""He didn't do anything."
After saying that, Zhang Qi Ling walked to Gu Feng's side and looked at him with a strange look. Then, he stretched out two long fingers, the middle finger and the index finger pressed on the boatman's neck and said,"You better give us an explanation.”
Gu Feng glanced at the two fingers. It was the first time he had seen such inhuman fingers.
"Spare me, spare me, this old man's body is fragile.”The boatman begged for mercy, his voice full of tears.
"Tell me quickly, did you want to capsize the boat just now?”Gu Feng shouted sternly.
The boatman felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and cold sweat trickled down his back. He could only say truthfully,""This old man was wrong. This old man offended everyone because he was blindfolded!”
"What exactly happened?" Wu Sansheng also walked over and asked.
"This waterway will pass through a cave, a corpse cave. Ordinary people will never return. I originally wanted to capsize the boat here and then take away the property of the immortals. Anyway, if you enter that cave, you will die.”
Hearing the boatman's words, everyone gasped.
Wu Xie and Wu Sansheng looked at Gu Feng in surprise. Fortunately, Gu Feng stopped them at the first moment. Otherwise, who knew what would have happened!
After hearing the boatman's words, Gu Feng let go of his arm and said,"Did you do this often in the past?”
The boatman nodded helplessly. His face was full of sorrow as he said aggrievedly,"I can't do anything about it. They went to court death, and no one collected their corpses after they died.”
"Then what should we do?" Huo Xiuxiu looked at Gu Feng and asked. After asking this question, Huo Xiuxiu felt a little incredulous. She didn't know when she had asked Gu Feng for advice.
Gu Feng walked to the bow of the ship and looked at the faintly discernible cave in the distance. He began to ponder.
Everyone followed his line of sight and frowned.
"Plop!"
Suddenly, the sound of someone falling into the water was heard. Everyone turned around and saw that the boatman was no longer on the boat.
"This is bad! He ran away!" Wu Xie's face was filled with anxiety. This was not a good thing.
"Is there really a dead body cave?”Huo Xiuxiu asked. She was a little afraid.
"Don't be afraid, with Gu Feng and Zhang Qi Ling around, this matter is very safe, don't worry.”Wu Sansheng said.
"Don't count on me. I'm here to protect Huo Xiuxiu. You can count on Zhang Qi Ling. He's our only insurance." I'm just a burden. I can't play any role.”
Everyone laughed.
However, Huo Xiuxiu felt a little apologetic. She secretly looked at Gu Feng, wondering if she had underestimated him before. She remembered that her grandmother had asked Gu Feng to take good care of her before she left.
Huo Xiuxiu finally understood that her grandmother was right.
"But that corpse cave must be very dangerous. Otherwise, this boatman wouldn't have jumped into the river to escape without helping us row the boat.”Wu Xie analyzed.
"Yeah, should we take a detour?”Huo Xiuxiu asked.
Wu Sansheng looked around the water and said,""If we could take a detour, why wouldn't the boatman spare us? Go, we can only take the risk."
"Then who will row the boat?" Huo Xiuxiu asked.
"Let me do it!" Wu Xie volunteered. "I was also a dragon boat expert back then.”
