Seeing that the big yellow dog was frightened by Zhang Qi's words, everyone was puzzled.
Zhang Qi looked at the river thoughtfully because he heard something he shouldn't have heard.
"Are you sure these people have a lot of money on them?”
Although the boatman was smoking, he still asked the old man.
"Did you see what they brought?" The old man nodded slightly.
Those who can come to such a remote place like ours must be grave robbers. Even if they don't have money, those bags of equipment are worth a lot of money.”
"Do you think these people are crazy? That ancient tomb was clearly a vicious tomb, yet he still came to die.”the boatman said.
"Isn't this just nice for us?" The old man said disdainfully.”
When the two of them looked at each other, their eyes were filled with joy.
It turned out that the boatman was faking his smoking, but it was true that he was conspiring with the old man.
"Everyone knows how to swim, right?" Zhang Qi asked in a low voice.
Everyone looked at Zhang Qi in shock. This guy didn't look scary. It was fine if he scared the dog away, but he still asked such a strange question?
"We can do anything in the mountains and rivers.”Fan Zi said with a smile.
Third Master Wu felt that something was amiss and asked in a low voice,""Is there something wrong?"
"They want to kill us." Zhang Qi said.
Fan Zi and Da Kui were instantly enraged. Just as they were about to go over and lecture him, they were stopped by Third Master Wu.
"We still need them to lead the way. Brother Zhang Qi, how do you know?”Third Master Wu asked curiously.
"I heard it," said Zhang Qi.
"Brother Zhang Qi and the others are ten meters away from us. Can you hear them?" Dafan asked in disbelief.”
"You'd better believe him. He'll be able to hear us even if we're twenty meters away, let alone ten.”
The young man who had been silent all this while suddenly said.
Third Master Wu's face turned serious when he heard the little brother's words,"
"Everyone, be careful. Brother Zhang Qi, do you know their plan?”
"I'm not sure. They didn't say. I'm afraid the two of them have already conspired to target passersby like us.”Zhang Qi said.
As they were talking, the old man came over and everyone immediately shut up.
"Gentlemen, you can load the things onto the boat now. However, there are many people, so why don't you put the things in the small boat at the back?”The old man said with a smile.
"Alright," said Third Master Wu.
"In addition, we have to pass through a shortcut. It's a cave. You'd better bring some lighting.”The old man said kindly.
As he said that, he gave everyone a look. Fan Zi and Da Kui had already taken out daggers from their backpacks and put them on their waists. Wu Xie hurriedly followed suit.
Everyone's equipment was placed on a small boat behind them, along with their backpacks. Although the wooden boat was large, there was limited space.
If they added their backpacks, they wouldn't have much space to move around. If anything happened, they wouldn't be able to move their hands and feet.
Other than the dagger that was secretly hidden at their waist, everyone had a flashlight in their hands.
After everyone boarded the boat, the boatman barked at the big yellow dog twice before starting the boat.
Although the smell of death on the boatman was very strong, everyone could only endure it now.
This was fine for Third Master Wu and the others, but Wu Xie could not stand it anymore. He sat at the bow of the ship and let the wind blow away the smell.
The surface of the river seemed calm, but when the boat sailed towards the middle of the river, it felt that the water at the bottom of the river was very fast.
If it wasn't for the boatman's skills, he probably wouldn't have been able to control the boat at all.
"There is a small path in front of everyone. It might be a little dark if you go in. If you have a flashlight, just shine it in front.”the boatman reminded.
"Why?" Wu Xie asked in confusion.”
"Why? Because it will scare you to death." The boatman's tone became a little sinister.
These words were very uncomfortable to hear, and they already knew that these two people wanted to harm them. Could it be that they wanted to jump into the water and leave?
"Haha…what haven't I seen in my travels?”Dafan said disdainfully.
"Hehe…then it's up to you." The boatman said.”
"Gentlemen, you should listen to the boatman. If the river god shines on the water, it will anger the river god.”the old man said.
Everyone's expression was still disdainful. They did not believe in these things.
"To tell you the truth, the place we're going to is a corpse dump. There are many unclean things inside.
That's why I told you not to look into the water and not to speak loudly.”The old man said helplessly.
Everyone frowned when they heard this. The so-called corpse site was actually a place where corpses were piled up.
"How long has this corpse plot been around for?”Third Master Wu asked.
The old man said," Who knows? Anyway, we have had this place since our generation."”
"What is a corpse site?" Wu Xie asked curiously.
Third Master Wu said,"In ancient times, there were strict rules for funerary tombs."
However, if there were too many craftsmen buried together, the corpses would be abandoned in a place far away from the tomb.”
Wu Xie suddenly realized that this was something that could not be learned from books. He could only understand it through practice.
Zhang Qi was naturally aware of this situation. Tomb Feng Shui was very particular, especially in ancient times when technology was not developed.
However, some strange things would appear in ordinary corpse sites, which filled Zhang Qi with endless anticipation.
It had been a long time since he had sex. He needed demons and monsters.
This thing might be a life-threatening existence to others, but it was a great tonic to him.
"Moreover, because there are too many corpses piled up in the corpse area, there will be some strange things.
It seems that the boatman did not lie to us. Everyone try not to look into the water.”Third Master Wu instructed.
"This lord seems to know a lot about this," said the boatman.”
"Brother Boatman, don't you know a lot? Otherwise, they wouldn't feed on the dead, right?”Third Master Wu said.
The boatman said nonchalantly," I'm just making a living. I'm the only boatman on this river who often goes in and out of the corpse site. If I don't have the smell of dead people on me, I can't get through."”
Everyone was naturally aware of this. Those who dealt with corpses in Xiangxi liked to eat dead people's flesh since they were young.
Only in this way could they get close to places that others could not.
As they chatted, the boatmen had already steered the wooden boat towards a cave. The cave was not big enough for their boat to enter.
Moreover, the ceiling of the cave was very low, so everyone could only lower their heads and enter. Fortunately, the situation was much better after the ship entered.
At least they could stand up now. The stone walls on both sides had also become wider. The boatman used a bamboo stick to support the stone walls on both sides as he slowly moved through the cave.
