Chapter 360 The soul returns

Jiang Ling smiled gently: "Should we row or not?"

How dare the rest of the people say no?

One gangster pointed at the iron lock on Hengjiang and stammered: "Sir... Sir, if you want to leave, this iron lock... must be unlocked. I... I can go and untie it."

He volunteered.

When the others heard what he said, they all responded: "I...I can go too."

"I can also untie it."

Jiangling: "It's just an iron lock across the river, so why bother?"

He moved his finger towards the river, and the iron chain suddenly broke, and with a bang, it opened from it, and the ship continued to flow down the river.

The gangsters were stunned again. How could such a thick chain be opened at the drop of a hat?

Is this person a human or a ghost?

At this time, the only excuse to get off the ship was useless, and everyone had no choice but to accept their fate and work hard under the cabin to punt the ship.

Jiang Ling: "If you work hard on this trip, I will spare your lives. But if you are lazy and slippery, don't blame me for being cruel."

He took out a paper man, blew on it, and the paper man jumped onto the deck and led the way towards the cabin.

When all the gangsters saw this scene, they were all so frightened that their spines trembled. The paper figures could actually walk.

They looked at Jiangling in horror, becoming more and more suspicious that he was inhuman.

"Go ahead."

As Jiang Ling waved his hand, all the gangsters dared not disobey, and they followed the paper man down to the cabin.

There are paper people supervising, and they are indeed working very hard.

When the oars on both sides of the big ship finally started to paddle, the speed immediately increased by more than three times.

Jiang Ling took Qingshuang and Hexiang into the boathouse to rest. The big boat sailed like an arrow, and it only took half a day to connect the two counties.

Passers-by were shocked when they saw it, and the figure of the big ship passed by almost in a blink of an eye.

A drunken Confucian scholar saw this and wrote down - "The Shenzhou leaps over the waves thousands of feet, how long will it take to return to the east after passing by?"

When some villagers saw it, a local legend became known - in the 16th year of Jingtai, on the 13th day of the seventh lunar month, on the Huaihe River, the Dragon King accepted his daughter, used a dragon as a boat, rode the waves eastward, and passed by Xingjia Village.

.

When the sun set in the west, the big ship jumped out of the river and entered the vast ocean, arriving at the Hongze Lake area.

The next day, we went south along the river and stopped at Hu County before dark.

This place is close to the sea. If it were in later generations, this place would be the most prosperous place in China. But now it is desolate. The city in a county is only a middle city, with a population of just over a thousand households.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a Chun Shen seal named here.

The folk customs here are quite good, and most of them make a living by fishing in the sea. There are also salt fields and iron smelting.

When the boat stopped here, Jiang Ling took the two girls off the boat and left.

The gangsters who had been working hard in the cabin for two days, indeed, after they disembarked, the paper man supervising them automatically turned into ashes.

When they stepped out of the boat, they could only smell the fishy smell of the ocean in the air. It was obvious that they were far away from home.

Seeing this strange place, everyone looked at each other, entered the cabin again, and started rowing again to go back along the original route.

No matter what their profession is, ordinary people have deep in their hearts the desire to return to their roots. The so-called people are humble when they leave their hometown. Even though there is a war in their hometown, they still feel that their hometown is friendly. Only when they return there can they feel at ease.

Before nightfall, the three of them from Jiangling found an inn to stay.

Not long after, I heard fireworks all over the city, filling the city with clouds and mist. Even at the entrance of the inn, people burned incense, burned paper, and lit incense candles.

After counting the days, Jiangling also learned that it was July 14th, the Ghost Festival.

When we arrived at the end of Shenzhou, there were suddenly shadows on the street, and the faint night wind carried a long queue of people.

Like a long black dragon,

As they pass each house, someone in the team will shout out their names, and those whose names are read will break away from the team and float into the house.

When we arrived at the inn, the names of three people were read out.

Jiang Ling went to the window to look, and found that the caller was a man covered in black and holding a roster. This was the local night wandering god.

Although Qingshuang and Hexiang could not see this scene, they instinctively felt that it was particularly cold tonight.

'It turns out that during the Ghost Festival, there really is a ghostly person returning.'

The three dark figures who entered the inn should be the innkeeper's family.

Jiang Ling asked Qingshuang and Hexiang to rest early. Qingshuang sat on the bed and began to meditate, practicing the [Nine-Nine Pluto King Way]. Hexiang could not practice the [Nine-Nine Pluto King Way], so he could only practice [Shangqing Yuling] diligently.

Tips] to improve yourself.

Seeing how selfless they were, Nie Qian smiled, and after they both fell into trance, she climbed into Jiang Ling's bed again.

Only half an hour later, a gong suddenly sounded on the street.

Jiang Ling was lying on the bed, his mind wandering around external objects. His mind was like his eyes. When he peeked into the outside world, he saw the dark night wandering god holding a gong and ringing the gong.

It turned out that he was leading many Yin people and was about to return.

'On July 14th, you only have so much time to spend outside?'

In ordinary people's perception, the gate of ghosts opens on July 14th and will not close until July 15th.

When Yin people return home, they will reunite with their families at home for a day.

Nie Qian sat on Jiang Ling and rocked gently.

After a while, her whole body became weak and she fell into his arms like a puddle of soft mud.

"Master, Xiaoqian is dying."

As soon as her fatigue appeared, her body quickly shrank, Jiang Ling took her into his arms, and disappeared.

Nie Qian is half demon and half devil, and when she practices with him, the effect is amazing.

It's just that her body is too soft and too sensitive. She is usually the one who provokes him first, but she is the one who falls asleep first.

As soon as he took Nie Qian in, Jiang Ling suddenly noticed a dark shadow floating into his room.

He was panicked,

The sound of gongs outside made him panic, and he broke through several doors before breaking into Jiang Ling's room.

After he came in, he saw Qingshuang and Hexiang sitting aside. The woman should have more yin energy, but he felt a strong yang-fire energy in both women.

He instinctively avoided the two women, and then set his sights on Jiangling.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he unexpectedly discovered that a guest in this inn had three fires on his head. He was a half-dead person.

Overjoyed, he suddenly ran towards the bed.

I want to squeeze into Jiangling's body.

Jiang Ling suddenly raised his eyes and stared at him with a sharp look.

But in his eagerness, this man didn't care, and still forced his way towards Jiang Ling.

Seeing that he didn't know whether to live or die, Jiang Ling had no choice but to open his mouth and bite. Instead of getting into his body, the "person" was swallowed into his mouth and absorbed into his intestines and stomach.

The Qian and the Earth are united, and the belly turns into Yin and ghosts.

Jiang Ling just touched his belly, and then a burst of fresh air disappeared, and the "person" disappeared into thin air.

But the sound of gongs on the street outside suddenly became louder.

The dark-skinned Night God couldn't summon anyone, so he had to find him himself.

As if by the magic of pulling, smelling the "person's" breath, he passed through the wooden wall and went straight to Jiangling's room.

He looked around with faint eyes, and finally found that Jiang Ling had a trace of the lingering aura of the sinister person on his body.
