Chen Shi and Fu Leisheng walked along the river towards Qiaowan Town. Before they arrived at Qiaowan Town, they saw several boats floating not far from the shore. There were people on the boats stretching out bamboo poles with hooks tied to them.

lapping the water,

On the shore, there are people carrying white flags and scattering paper money to call the souls of the dead to return.

There were not many people, more than ten people, men, women, old and young, all with delicious dishes.

This is an inlet below Qiaowan Town. The river is wide and there are usually many fishing boats with fluttering sails and white gulls gathering there.

The water in the Dejiang River is turbulent, but it calms down when you come here. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it feels like a fairyland on earth.

When Chen Shi and Fu Leisheng came to the scene, they saw a little old woman performing magic in front of the river. She was shaking the Wenwang drum in her hand, dancing and dancing, and was activating the magic to summon souls and find corpses. Waves of yin energy rose from the river.

That little old woman was Grandma Sha from Gangzi Village. Someone thought she was paid to find the bodies of her relatives.

The little old woman's Taoism is profound and profound, and looking for corpses is just a trivial matter to her. But when she finished her practice, she stretched out her hand and saw the river surging, and a white and swollen corpse rose from the bottom of the water.

got up,

When it came up, it looked very weird. The head of the corpse emerged from the water first. The hair was like black water plants, covering all sides of the head. Then most of the body floated up, as if standing on the water.

After a while, the body fell down, lying on its back on the water, making a splashing sound.

The corpse's hair spread out, revealing its face, which was vaguely that of a woman.

The body was washed down by the flood. There were no clothes on it, but the body was intact and there were no signs of fish or shrimp chewing it.

More than a dozen people on the shore cried loudly,

Those boats were a corpse-recovering team, which was used to recovering corpses from the river. Upon seeing this, several speedboats rushed over, trying to grab the business.

From a distance, they raised bamboo poles and prepared to hook the body with iron hooks and drag it to the side of the boat.

According to the rules on the riverside, the corpse is dragged to the side of the boat without going ashore first, and the relatives of the deceased are allowed to give money, more or less, depending on the wishes of the relatives.

If the payment is small, some unscrupulous corpse collectors will intentionally cut several large holes in the body, so the payment is generally not too small.

Suddenly, the river rolled, and another corpse rose from the bottom of the water. It was also washed down by the flood and had no clothes on it.

When the body surfaced, it stood on the water and then fell into the water with a crash.

Then came the third corpse, which also rushed out of the water, stood on the water, paused, and then fell into the water.

Then the fourth body, the fifth body, the sixth body, the seventh body...

The river water was like boiling water in a pot, bubbling and bubbling. One corpse after another rose from the bottom of the water, standing on the water one after another, like water ghosts, indescribable children.

In just a short moment, there were thousands of corpses standing on the river, with their shawls scattered and not wearing a single piece of clothing. They were soaked and swollen.

Their heads were covered with hair, and it was difficult to tell which side was in front and which was in back.

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

“Plop!

The sound of heavy objects falling into the water kept coming, and soon thousands of corpses fell down and floated on the water, covered in white flowers.

Even though Chen Shi had refined the golden elixir and Fu Lei had refined the Nascent Soul, at this moment his heart was on edge and he had goosebumps all over his body, feeling that this scene was indescribably weird.

Were these corpses standing when they were in the water?"

Chen Shi's hair stood on end.

The corpse collectors on the small boats on the river were also stunned. Thousands of white corpses were like dead fish, surrounding their small boats. Have they ever seen such a scene?

On the shore, the dozen men, women, old and young were stunned for a moment when they saw this situation. They didn't know who was their relative?

Upon seeing this, Granny Sha immediately mobilized the four ghost kings and asked the ghost kings to fish the corpse out of the river.

Chen Shi stepped forward and asked, "Mother-in-law, where did so many dead people come from?"

"There was a flood upstream and they drowned.

Grandma Sha pursed her lips and said, "There are dragons going upstream. There is a dragon that wants to transform, so it floods people and drowns them.

This is not the first time that floods have drowned people. It must have been many times, so there are so many corpses gathered.

There should be a dragon's nest down there, and the dragon would live in it.

That beast drowned these people, transported them here, and then used their souls to refine the inner elixir Xiao Shi. I must dispose of these corpses as soon as possible to prevent the moon from turning into corpses!

She was quite nervous. There were more than a thousand corpses. If the corpses transformed into corpse aura, it would be extremely spectacular.

These people died in vain. Some of their entire families suffered misfortune and resentment.

It's heavy. If it turns into a zombie, it will act very viciously.

"

You have got rid of this dragon, and there will be no more wandering dragons.

Fu Leisheng looked at the corpse on the river, shook his head, and said, "We are just animals raised by the powerful.

Mr. Fu, we are not animals.

Chen Shi looked at him and said seriously, "We are human beings.

Our ancestors fought against the sky, the earth, and evil spirits, not to make us live like animals.

I think they want us to live like human beings.

Fu Leisheng was deeply touched, and then he shook his head and asked the question he had asked him again: "Chen Shi, this is the way of the world! Can you change it?

Chen Shi stopped unconsciously

Fu Leisheng was walking in front, but when he saw him stopping, he knew that there was a conflict between heaven and man in his heart, so he did not persuade him.

At that time, like Chen Shi, he felt that he had a scale in his heart that could measure right and wrong and determine the merits of the world.

It wasn't until he was taught a lesson in this world that he was completely beaten and embarrassed, and then he finally figured it out.

After he figured it out, he became much smoother and smoother. He hid his principles under the smoothness and smoothness, so he was like a fish in water and lived happily.

Now, it may be a good thing for Chen Shi to come into contact with this world earlier than him and understand the truth of the world.

·He’ll figure it out.”

Fu Leisheng walks towards Qiaowan Town

Chen Shi stood by the river for a long time, and the sound of the river came to his ears, sometimes surging and sometimes low.

"I can't figure it out!"

Chen Shi suddenly stepped forward and said, "The scapegoat, I just can't figure it out! I really can't change this world, but I can change it a little bit! If you don't do anything, you can't change anything! Are you right? I just do

Things I can do!"

Heiguo nodded vigorously and asked doubtfully: "Woof?"

Chen Shi went upstream along the Dejiang River and said, "I'll go upstream to have a look.

Black Pot quickly followed him, one person and one dog walking along the river.

Across the river from Qiaowan Town is Baisheng County, which is under the jurisdiction of Xianzhou Province, but walking upstream along the Dejiang River is still under the jurisdiction of Xinxiang Province, but after leaving Xinxiang County, it is the territory of Lei County.

I saw villages along the river in Lei County. Many villages were flooded by floods, and many houses were washed away. In some villages, only nine out of ten rooms were empty. It was probably caused by wandering dragons.

Chen Shi was walking in the muddy village. Some places were still wet. There were small fish in the puddles, floating on the muddy water with their mouths open, trying hard to breathe air.

The people in the village are like these little fishes.

They stared blankly at Chen Shi, a passer-by.

Chen Shi walked through the village and stopped for a moment in front of the village's godmother.

The godmother of this village is just like the villagers, with a disheveled appearance. There is not much incense in front of her temple - it is difficult for the villagers to even feed themselves, let alone feed her?

Chen Shi offered her a few sticks of incense and continued on her way.

Not far away is the town of Lei County. The flood must have just broken through the godmother's defenses and swept away many people. There were wreaths and paper money everywhere, mixed with the mud on the streets, making it very uncomfortable to walk on.

There are also trumpets and suona playing in the town, which is a sad and sad music that reminds people of their loved ones.

Chen Shi walked through this town. There were mass graves everywhere outside the town. Some drowned people were not swept into the river, so they were dumped here. They were just buried hastily and no one was buried.

"

If these corpses were dug up by wild beasts and illuminated by the moonlight, they would probably produce corpse elements."

Just when Chen Shi thought of this, he saw a will-o'-the-wisp swaying in the mass grave and was startled: "There is a corpse haunting!"

He signaled the dog to slow down, sneaked forward quietly, and looked from a distance. He saw a young Taoist priest sitting among the graves in the mass grave, with will-o'-the-wisps as big as his head flying around him, and the will-o'-the-wisps kept drilling into his head.

In the latter shrine, there are still ghost fires flying out from the tomb.

In the shrine behind his head, a divine fetus is sitting dangerously, with his eyes closed and concentrating. In front of the divine fetus, floating in front of the divine fetus, is a round, finger-sized golden elixir, emerald green, which should be the seventh round of the golden elixir.

"It turns out he's a monk! Judging from his clothes, he must be a scholar.

But why are you practicing in a mass grave?"

Chen Shi said heartily.
