The stench of corpses on the boatman was even stronger. When he spoke, it was as if he was in a pile of dead people.
Wu Xie couldn't bear it anymore. He could only run to the bow of the ship to breathe in the fresh air.
The boatman used the big boat to pull the small boat, and the small boat was filled with the big and small travel bags they had brought.
The dog that was eating dead meat was leading the boat.
The big ship was quite spacious, and the old coachman and boatman were steering the ship from behind.
Wu Xie and the little brother sat at the bow of the boat. Third Master Wu and Da Kui sat on one side, and Zhou Long and Pan Zi sat on the other side.
Because it was going downstream, the speed of the boat was not slow.
He could also feel how turbulent the undercurrent of this river was.
"What did you mean when you said you can't speak nonsense?”
As the leader, Wu San Ye naturally had to ask.
"You look like you're people who have traveled the martial arts world. You should know that some things can't be explained.”
The boatman said as he looked at their hands with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Hearing the boatman's words, Pan Zi's hand inadvertently touched his back, ready to pull out his scimitar at any time.
"Good eyesight. It seems that elder brother is also a brother in the underworld, right?”
Wu San Ye had not expected the boatman to be able to see through them with just a glance.
"Not really, but I've seen many good men in Xiangxi before.”The boatman did not hide anything.
At this moment, Da Kui and Pan Zi could not help but look at Zhou Long. They knew that what Zhou Long said before was true.
They were not familiar with Zhou Long, but they knew that he was recommended by Wu San Ye's brothers.
There was also the fact that Zhou Long used to be a Taoist priest. It was just that he couldn't survive anymore, so he relied on Third Master to make a living.
"There's nothing to say. Actually, this river has a river god.”
The old man driving the carriage said in a low voice, as if to strengthen the credibility of this sentence.
"He's the only one who can cross this river within a hundred miles.”
The coachman looked at the boatman proudly.
Hearing this, the few of them were stunned. Most of the River God's words existed in legends.
But from what he said, the River God really existed.
"This river was once opened for navigation, but many people inexplicably disappeared. It was said that the River God wanted to be more peaceful.”
The coachman was obviously more talkative than the boatman, and he explained to everyone.
"Old Master is joking, right?" Wu Xie said with a smile.
" I know what you want to say, kid," said the old coachman." But they gave up on opening the river channel. Do you think that's normal?"”
Everyone immediately fell silent. In the past few years, the bombing of mountains, the construction of bridges, and trains had spread all over the country.
There was almost nothing that could stop the infrastructure maniac, but he had given up on a river route. There must be something fishy going on.
After thinking about it carefully, everyone felt that things were not as simple as they had imagined.
"You don't have to worry. I've been walking this river for more than ten years. As long as I don't disturb the River God, I'll be fine.”
The boatman saw that they had been stunned and comforted them.
"We're here. You can look, but don't speak loudly.”
At this moment, the boatman said to them.
Immediately after, the boatman controlled the boat to turn around a mountain water channel.
The waterway wasn't big, and it was a little crowded for boats to enter.
However, after entering the water channel, Pan Zi and the others looked at it with confusion.
The waterway seemed to be very deep, and a cold aura gushed out from it.
Although the stone walls on both sides had many potholes due to the water flow, it was still possible to see that there were traces of man-made stone walls on the waterway.
They could even touch the top of the waterway when they stood up. Third Master Wu touched it with his hand and sat down.
"It's a Thief Cave." Because they said not to speak loudly, Wu San Ye said in a low voice.
Wu Xie also said," Look at these traces. They're thousands of years old. Could it be that our predecessors have already visited them?"”
"It's very possible. After all, we have a long history in this line of work.”Wu San Ye said.
" I know you have a flashlight," the boatman said." If you think it's dark, you can turn it on. But don't look into the water."”
He tried to keep his voice as low as possible, afraid that he would disturb the River God.
Wu Xie couldn't stand the darkness of the waterway, so Pan Zi kindly gave him a flashlight.
However, Zhou Long had watched TV dramas and knew that the boatman had bad intentions, so he had been keeping an eye on him.
In the dark water channel, the traces of time were very obvious.
Wu Xie turned on the flashlight and followed the boatman's reminder. He did not dare to shine the flashlight into the water.
The young man still didn't seem to care. He had never heard him say a word along the way.
However, among these people, Da Kui, the burly man, seemed to be very afraid. He kept looking around suspiciously.
His muscular body leaned against Wu San Ye.
He really didn't understand how such a timid person could be trusted by Third Master.
After all, they were the Earth Masters. What had they not seen before?
"Sou!"
However, just as everything became very quiet.
A figure quickly passed by the ship.
After losing its balance, the ship started to sway.
"Bang!"
Just as Wu Xie steadied himself and the flashlight shone over.
Zhou Long had already thrown the old man onto the deck.
"Ouch!"
A painful cry sounded.
Only then did they realize that the boatman had disappeared.
Pan Zi hurried to the helm of the boat and found that the dog behind the boat was gone.
Even a fool would understand that the boatman and the old man were secretly colluding to do something unfavorable to them.
"Where is he?"
Pan Zi immediately took out the scimitar hidden on his back and stabbed it into the old man's head.
"Hero, spare me, spare me. It was that fellow who forced me to do it.”The old man was so scared that he trembled as he spoke.
However, at this moment, the water channel became even colder.
The men shivered.
"Hiss hiss!"
It was as if someone was talking to themselves, causing everyone to fall silent.
"River God! The River God has appeared. Without that guy, we can't get through.”
At this moment, the old man became even more afraid, as if he was more afraid of the River God than Pan Zi's scimitar.
"What bullsh * t River God, you still want to fool us?”Da Kui said angrily.
As he spoke, he carried the old man to Quan Zhen and pressed his head down to look into the water.
"Show me where this River God came from?”Da Kui questioned.
However, they soon realized that the old man was not pretending to be afraid.
She was trembling and her pants were wet.
His pupils were constantly condensing. It was obvious that he was scared out of his wits.
"River God! The River God is here."
The old man's trembling voice was like a soul-stimulating agent.
"Stabbing!"
Soon, a series of ripping sounds came from the waterway, like countless pieces of paper being torn apart.
"Woof!"
"Plop!"
The sound of a dog screaming behind him was followed by the sound of water falling into the water.
"Gulp!"
The sound of many bubbles could be heard.
The surroundings quickly became quiet again.
This also caused the water channel to suddenly become strange.
