The years of reselling the haunted house

Page 645

"Yangzi. On this river, if you encounter a corpse that is more than a hundred years old, it's best not to let the corpse stare at you. With me around, he dare not look back."

Master Jiu didn't explain the reason too clearly, so he stopped talking.However, I can basically figure out what it means. If an ancient corpse over a hundred years old has grievances, it will sink to the bottom of the river and be attacked by the cold air of the river and cannot be reincarnated.Usually, you can't see a living person. Once you see a living person, you will definitely find a living person as a substitute.This is also a saying that has been circulated among the people for a long time.

I believe that even if this statement contains falsehoods, it should not be much different on the whole.

Master Jiu fell into the water a few times, his body was cold, and his complexion was very bad. After drinking a few sips of wine, he finally recovered.

He sighed and said, "I've been making the Hades Hook for so long, but I haven't been in the water for so long. Is it really old? Fortunately, I didn't use the Hades Hook on myself."

As he spoke, he put away the Hades Hook that was left for me, and kept sighing.

In fact, this process was really dangerous when I thought about it. Master Jiu fell into the water several times and was in danger several times.This hell hook really made me almost use it to fish for himself.

His own Hades Hook, but took his own corpse, if it is said that the brand of this Hades Hook might fall down.

Master Jiu finished his drink, stood up from the boat, and suddenly saw the dead crow on the boat.

"Ah? Have they come?" Jiu Ye went over and kicked the crow, only to find that the crow had been killed.

I nodded and explained the situation again.

Master Jiu let out another breath, and said, "It seems that the test you encountered on the boat was not less than that I encountered underwater. Yangzi, I didn't expect you to have the unique skill of slingshot. Your third uncle didn't even talk to me. mentioned."

I smiled wryly and said: "What kind of unique skill is it? I learned it from a senior. I haven't mastered it yet. I just started practicing. I killed them because the distance was too close. Thanks to my slingshot, otherwise I really wouldn't Know how to dispel them."

Lord Jiu nodded: "Very well, it is God's will not to let us both die here. These wild water crows are very aggressive. They usually hover over the water, eating carrion of aquatic creatures, and sometimes even drowned people And their senses are very sensitive. They must have sensed that there is a corpse coming out of the water, so they followed it. But these birds are out at night and cannot see the light. When they see the light source, they must give the light to the bird. destroyed."

I suddenly realized: "No wonder they rushed towards those two wind lanterns desperately."

Chapter 1674

"That's right. So in this area, boats are rarely sailed at night. It seems that a few years ago, a small motor boat was transporting goods at night in order to make money, and it encountered this kind of water crow. They just bumped up one by one. Shengsheng smashed the hard lampshade on the motor boat. Later, the boat went into Nanguandu without lights, hit a rock turned up from the water and sank.”

"This water crow is so fierce. So, Ba Ye is also of the same kind as them? I saw Ba Ye flying away at some point, and they chased him back again."

Lord Jiu nodded and said: "That's right. Lord Eight was picked up from the water when I was sailing a boat. At that time, it might have just been able to fly, and its stamina was not enough, so it fell into the water from the air. I caught it in time It came up. Later, I took it back to tame it, and it turned out that it was very smart. Later, it changed its habits and helped me a lot. Of course, most of the time was to accompany me and relieve my boredom. But habits are hard to change, and it must be Hearing the cry of the same kind in the distance, I followed the sound, but I didn’t know that it had followed me for so long, and it had long since lost the smell of the same kind, so it would definitely be rejected by the same kind.”

I glanced at Ba Ye standing on the boat.Indeed, they looked almost the same, but Ba Ye looked like a pet bird, mynah, and those water crows looked as fierce as eagles.

"Okay. We have been delayed here for too long. After passing this pass, the seventh eye should be the pure land in front of us. Continue to set off."

Jiu Ye regained his pride and picked up Chuanhao again.

I asked worriedly: "Jiuye, will we encounter a corpse-embracing boat again as we move forward?"

I figured that this underwater corpse should be more than the one just now that has been hundreds of years old.It took so much effort to get rid of this one corpse, if there are more, we will be busy tonight, so we don't even think about fishing for the thousand-year-old corpse.

I just looked at Master Jiu's spirit, he was much lower than when he first came here.Apparently we're in more trouble than he could have imagined.

According to this kind of trouble, it doesn't take much trouble. If you do it twice, the old man probably won't be able to move anymore.My understanding of the water is a pure novice, so I can't help much, and this line of work depends entirely on Master Jiu.

Fortunately, Lord Jiu waved his hand: "Don't worry, there won't be a second corpse hugging the boat. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and one river cannot accommodate two corpses. From here until near the Seventh Ghost Eye, there will be no second hundred-year-old corpse." The old corpse exists. We should be able to go directly to the thousand-year-old corpse."

I didn't dare to say anything, but I kept whispering in my heart.

It seems that the difficulty encountered in coming to the river is even greater than that on land.It took such a lot of trouble to deal with a century-old corpse, wouldn't it be even more difficult to find the thousand-year-old corpse now?

But I dare not express my state of mind, lest Master Jiu will see it.

People like them are extremely conceited. If I let him see that I have doubts about his ability, I probably have nothing good to eat.

But even though I restrained myself intentionally, Master Jiu could still see the change in my mood.

I suddenly turned my head to look at me, I was startled, and asked what's wrong?

Master Jiu questioned: "You boy, do you think I can't deal with that thousand-year-old corpse?"

"No, no, no." I hastily denied, "What's the matter, a thousand-year-old corpse or a ten-thousand-year corpse, under the hook of Hades, Lord Jiu, won't cause any trouble."

"It's good to know. I have traveled more water roads than you have traveled on dry roads. I have never seen any storms and waves. I have also fished dozens of century-old corpses. Thousand-year corpses... I really haven't fished."

At the beginning, I heard Master Jiu was full of pride and his tone was tough, so I thought he had the bottom of his heart.I didn't expect to say the last sentence, but it made me dumbfounded.

Ganqing Jiuye has never fished out a thousand-year-old corpse. You must know that the difference between a hundred years and a thousand years is 900 years when it is placed in the underwater corpse.A thousand-year-old corpse must be much more difficult to deal with than a hundred-year-old corpse, which means that he doesn't know what will happen in a while.This is equivalent to eating this crab with Master Jiu.

"Yangzi, pick up the gong and beat it according to my rhythm. Let's enter the seventh eye with great momentum." Jiu Ye puffed up his chest, picked up the bamboo wormwood, and stood on the bow of the boat.

He was still shirtless, glowing like metal under the moonlight.He is holding Artemisia Bamboo, like a general holding a long spear, and he has the aura of being one man in charge.

"Let me beat the gong? How... how?" I picked up the copper gong, which had a lot of copper rust on it, no wonder it sounded so dull.

"Stupid boy, rhythm, do you understand the rhythm, follow my rhythm. It's like ancient gongs clearing the way, today we are opening the river with gongs." Master Jiu said again impatiently.

Before I could digest his words, Master Jiu touched the surface of the water a few times with that bamboo wormwood.

The thing is so miraculous, after solving the Corpse Embrace Boat, the Corpse Blood Grass disappeared, and the boat started walking easily.

"Hey……"

I was thinking about the meaning of Master Jiu's words, but I didn't expect him to roar out suddenly.

This sudden voice, without any prelude, startled me.Even Ba Ye was so frightened that he flew into the air with a thud.

"Ula is sailing...hehehehe..."

Jiuye then yelled out a bunch of words. At the beginning, I could understand a few words, what kind of boat, water? Later, his rhythm became faster and faster, and the cadence of his yelling sound should be a Make the boat's chant.

I finally knew what rhythm he was talking about. The chant he yelled had a sense of rhythm, and Master Jiu was also pouring water with bamboo wormwood according to that rhythm.

I found the pattern, and followed his rhythm, knocking on the gong in my hand.

Although the gong sound is not crisp, it is also very helpful.

It has to be said that Master Jiu's move was very effective.

We were tossed by the century-old corpse for a while, and we were all a little depressed.After being yelled at by him like this, and the sound of the gong sounded like this, his momentum suddenly rose.

We also changed our previous decadent mood, and our confidence rose accordingly.

The boat moved forward quickly, quickly breaking through the surrounding black fog.

Master Jiu's voice is really loud and good enough. He shouted for a long time, but there was no sign of it weakening.On the contrary, the more you shout, the more vigorous you are.

He should have known the route to the Seventh Ghost Eye, and walked all the way without any hesitation.

After passing through the black fog, the front line of sight was obviously much better.But still can not see the edge of the river.

All I could see in front of my eyes was a wave of water.

In addition, what makes me feel strange is that the water potential here is completely different from what I imagined.

Chapter 1675 Palace Resentment Poetry

When passing through the first and second ghost eyes, we experienced huge waves and vortex water holes with huge suction, and our boat almost capsized there.

When we got to the third and fourth ghost eyes, the water was still turbulent. It was only because we encountered rocks upturned from the river, and later we encountered a corpse-embracing boat, which made the boat stay on the water steadily.But the water was crashing against the hull, and I was worried whether the boat could withstand the beating of the waves.

So in my subconscious mind, I thought that when the seventh ghost eye was reached, the water would be more fierce and urgent.I even made preparations, if the current is too fast, I can't care about anything else, so I can only hide in the cabin first.

But after we passed through the thick black mist, the current here actually calmed down.

Looking around, the water waves are gentle and gentle, illuminated by the moonlight, the waves are shimmering, and they are shining with the stars in the sky, which is beautiful.

Accompanied by Jiuye's chant, we went boating on the water, and a water crow squatted on the boat canopy, and the overall picture had a pleasant feeling of a Jiangnan water town.

At that moment, I even felt that we have traveled through space?

Just now there was a strong wind and rough sea, but it was calm again when we got here.Since the water conditions are different, it is not like the water on the same river.

Master Jiu didn't seem too surprised by this, he still yelled in that up and down tone.

I always thought it was a common chant for sailing, to cheer myself up.As a result, I found out later that it was a special curse of the Ninth Master's sect, Yamawanggou.

Chanting mantras on a boat can dispel some evil spirits that are shallow, so that one's boat can cross the river safely.

It's just that I didn't know it at the time, and I still used the gong sound to match Master Jiu.

I don't know how far it is from the seventh ghost eye.But exercising on such water made me feel a lot easier.

I don't know that the good times don't last long, this kind of relaxation didn't last long.

And my understanding of Nanguandu and the waters of the Thirteen Ghost Eyes is still far behind.

This experience really made me understand what it means to change rapidly.

I was still immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of me one second ago, and suddenly a lightning bolt split the night sky the next second.

Then a thunderbolt exploded in the air.

The thunder was so loud that it felt as if it had exploded overhead.

I trembled and almost dropped the gong in my hand.

Immediately afterwards, after the thunder, raindrops fell from the sky like beans.

We actually encountered a thunderstorm on the river.

In fact, I have been muttering in my heart about going out of the river this time.Because before this, Third Uncle once told me about Jiu Ye’s rules for picking up corpses. In fact, it’s not just about Jiu Ye’s Hades Hook, but also the rules of the entire profession of corpse picking.

He said that there are three ways to recover corpses and three not to recover them.

According to the three salves, the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom. Every generation of corpse salvagers can set rules for themselves.Therefore, the term "three fishing" may be different for each person in each place.

But these three no-fishing rules are a deadly rule, and every corpse-hunter, even Hades Hook, must abide by it.

It's not been long, I remember it clearly.The three uncles mentioned by the third uncle refers to, one is not to fish the corpse standing upside down in the water.The second is thunder, wind, and fire.The third is that ancient corpses more than a hundred years old, underage female corpses, and corpses that have not been salvaged three times are not salvaged.

These are still fresh in my memory.After I followed Lord Jiu out of the river, I heard that Master Jiu was going to fish for a thousand-year-old ancient corpse, and I kept thinking, wouldn't this violate the taboo of three not to fish?

It's just that I haven't asked Master Jiu all this time. I didn't expect that just now we went through the corpse boat again, and I saw the corpse standing upside down in the water with my own eyes.

The corpse is said to be an ancient corpse of more than 100 years, and this corpse alone involves two taboos.

Fortunately, Master Jiu just saved him in a special way, and didn't scoop him up, so I don't think it's a violation of taboo.

And when we came to this water area, there was a sudden thunder and thunder, which made my heart move again.

Does this count as Lei Shatian in the three no-fishing?

If so, then our trip is really walking on the edge of Sanbudao.Master Jiu didn't intend to return empty-handed, so sooner or later he would violate the taboo.

Master Jiu should know better than me what will happen if a taboo is violated.

As for the consequences, I am worried about Master Jiu, and of course I am more worried about myself.

As the raindrops fell, Master Jiu was unmoved, and still yelled his incomprehensible tune, propping the boat through the wind and rain.

The thunder sounded in the air from time to time, and every time it sounded, it would suppress Master Jiu's voice.But after the thunder, Master Jiu's voice would ring out again.

It felt like Master Jiu was fighting the Heavenly Father with his fleshy voice.

Although I don't want to disturb Master Jiu, but in such an environment, I can't bear it any longer. I want to ask Master Jiu, should we continue in this situation?

But at this moment, amidst Jiu Ye's high-pitched roar, I heard another burst of euphemistic and enchanting singing.

"Yeah oh..."

That voice was obviously different from Jiu Ye's voice, it was very soft and light, like a cloud of smoke, floating over from a distance, lingering on the water, and lingering for a long time.

It was obviously a woman's singing, and the singing voice was particularly miserable.

After hearing this sound, Lord Jiu stopped immediately, obviously he also heard this strange sound.

After a while of babbling, a song with clear lyrics came over again.

"Bong broom Pingming to open the Golden Palace, temporarily bring back the round fan. The jade face is not as beautiful as a jackdaw, but it still brings the shadow of Zhaoyang sun..."

The libretto was more like a Tang poem, sung by the female voice word by word, weeping and complaining. Although there was no music accompaniment, it added a bit of sadness.

As for me, although I'm not very good at studying, and I haven't studied ancient Chinese and ancient poetry, I just happen to know this one.

It seems that I have watched a TV series of Tang Palace, which mentioned this poem, and I was very bored at that time, so I checked it out, and found out that this poem is called "Chang Xin Qiu Ci" and it was written in Chinese. The story of Emperor Cheng favoring Zhao Feiyan and ignoring Ban Jieyu is one of the masterpieces of palace resentment poems in the Tang Dynasty.

The so-called palace grievances, to put it bluntly, means that the palace ladies or concubines complain that the emperor ignores me all day long, which means I am very depressed.

In addition, there are historical records that most of the libretto of the singers in the Tang Dynasty came from Tang poetry.They will directly participate in the creation and dissemination of poetry, and play an active role in the development of Tang poetry.

That is to say, the Tang poems that we can read casually now, such as the sun at the end of the mountain and the Yellow River flowing into the sea, may have been compiled into songs and sung by singers at that time, which may be the same as modern pop songs at that time.

1676 Ghost Ship

Regarding the relationship between pop songs and Tang poetry in the Tang Dynasty, these are the results of my research many years ago. I didn’t expect that today on this river, I actually heard someone singing Tang poetry.
