The waterways of the underworld.
It is the Jiuqu Huangquan Road in the underworld.
The waterways in the Yang world are densely covered, connecting the world and the eight wastelands, just like the Huangquan Road in the underworld, which can welcome the dead everywhere.
Just like that sentence was verified——
All rivers in the world ultimately lead to the same destination.
The soul boat drifted all the way, and after passing Lingqian Township, it continued to drift outwards, and soon merged into a tributary of the Yinyi River.
After another half a day passed, the soul-inducing boat merged into the main stream of the Yinyi River.
Jin An rarely spoke unless necessary and remained silent along the way.
Whether it was the old Taoist priest, Mr. Yin Yang, or the big old man under the white coffin murderer, they all told him again and again that the water in the underworld is the Jiuqu Huangquan, and there is great terror under the Jiuqu Huangquan.
So after going to the underworld, be quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Don't make any loud noise!
In order to avoid alerting some great terror in the water, capsizing the soul-inducing ship and causing death.
Jin An has always kept taboos in mind.
Since entering the main stream of the Yinyi River, as the Yinyi River has become wider and the two banks are further away from the center of the river, the thick fog on the river has completely blocked Jin'an's view, making it impossible for him to see the situation on the shore. .
Previously, in the tributary, the two banks were narrow, and he could barely see the scenery on the shore through the fog area.
It is completely invisible now.
The surroundings fell into complete silence, emptiness and silence.
Except that there seemed to be many men, women, old people, and children in the thick fog who kept whispering in his ears, which never stopped.
It looked like a small boat shrouded in thick fog, densely packed with people...
It seems that in the invisible mist above the head, there are countless strange figures like white ghosts floating and hovering...
Fortunately, the current Jin An is no longer the inexperienced Brother Chu two months ago.
Facing the mysterious whispers in the mist that lead to depravity, he kept meditating on spiritual martial arts, constantly sharpening his spirit, will, and soul, and strengthening his mind. The interference of the mysterious whispers from the outside world to his mind was minimal.
Unless he takes the initiative to die.
Unless he takes the initiative to get in touch with the mystery.
The reason why Jin An said that the soul-inducing boat under his feet was leading them to Fucheng was because after half a day, he actually saw the familiar big turning point of the Yinyi River.
This Big Turn is one of the most dangerous places in the Yinyi River section. It has sharp bends and turbulent underwater currents. If you are not careful, there is a danger of the boat capsizing and killing people. The sails on the Yinyi River are like weaving, and every year at Big Turn Boat capsizing happens several times here, which is a bit evil.
It seems like there is a ghost gate here.
Every year some human sacrifices are eaten.
Therefore, some shipping dealers in the past called it the "Big Ghost Pass".
When Jin An came to Fucheng for the first time, this big intersection happened to hit a landslide, which delayed navigation for a day.
But the most famous thing about this big pass in recent times is naturally the time when the Yinyi River stopped flowing, exposing thousands of caves under the river bed, and finally drowned hundreds of soldiers and local warriors.
Rumble.
The roar of Daguaikou and the sound of rushing river water reached my ears like thunder.
Although he had not actually seen the big turning point due to the fog, Jin An clearly felt that the speed of the soul-inducing ship under his feet had accelerated a lot.
The water flow became more rapid.
It makes people worry that this small soul-drawing boat will be overwhelmed by a big wave and be knocked to the bottom of the river?
Master Shanneng, who had been silently steering the boat at the stern, noticed that Jin An was looking intently at the approaching big turning point in front of him, and seemed to be very curious about the big turning point that he was about to pass through.
Master Shanneng suddenly asked: "Today during the day, when the poor monk was waiting for the Taoist priest at the ancestral home of the He family, he heard the eldest wife of the He family talking about Taoist priests Jin'an and Chen, and the sword-cutting donor who had just arrived in the city two months ago. He didn't know about Jin'an Taoism. How much do you know about this big intersection?"
Jin An thought for a while and replied: "When we first arrived in Fucheng, we happened to encounter a landslide in Daguaikou, and we were stuck in Daguaikou for a day. I heard the boatmen and merchants who often travel to Fucheng talk about it. There are several other names for this Daguaikou, such as 'Guimenguan' and 'Daguikou'."
"I heard that the water in this place suddenly became turbulent, and some people would fall into the water and die every year. Over time, it became known as this place with awe of ghosts and gods."
Jin An did not turn around.
As the water flow became more and more turbulent, he began to hold on to the hull of the boat, watching nervously as the big turning came closer and closer in the mist, as well as the closer and closer rumble of thousands of troops galloping.
Master Shanneng, on the other hand, seemed unaffected and was still steering the ship steadily, with his hands as steady as a mountain without even a single tremor.
Under the steady helm of this eminent monk from Bailong Temple, this small, inconspicuous boat in the river was steady and steady, ignoring the undercurrent of the turbulent river beneath the boat.
Master Shanneng is like a large Buddha stone that holds the prison. The Buddha's mind is stable and his meditation practices are as profound as the secrets.
Facing Jin An's answer, Master Shanneng chanted the Buddha's name, smiled kindly and said: "Taoist Master Jin An only got half of it right, and the other half was not right."
Hearing this, Jin An looked curiously at Master Shanneng at the stern of the boat: "Master Shanneng, you are an eminent monk of Bailong Temple and you live in Fucheng all year round. You must know more about this big bend than I do..."
"How about Master Shanneng tell me what's so special about this big corner?"
Perhaps it was because of Jin An's considerable achievements at such a young age and his ability to deal with things without being alarmed that Master Shanneng cherished his talents.
Master Shanneng was at the helm while answering Jin An's question: "The names such as 'Guimen Pass' and 'Da Gui Kou' that Taoist Master Jin An just mentioned are just the awe-inspiring names of passing ship traders. In fact, among the local people, there is another Special name."
"Dragon King Terrace."
"Dragon King Terrace?" Jin An was startled.
Master Shanneng nodded and said: "On the green hill above our heads, there is a temple. That temple is called the Dragon King Temple. In front of the Dragon King Temple, there is a Dragon King Tower used by local people to pray for good weather."
"The poor monk once had the honor to read the official annals. According to the records in the official annals, the name of Longwang Terrace had become a local place name long before the founding of Kangding."
"It is said that a long time ago, this big crossing was more noisy than it is now, and the water situation was much more dangerous than it is now. People died every year, and boats capsized every month. Whenever the rainy season came, the river would be blocked and floods would cause hardship to the people on both sides of the strait. Unspeakable.”
"Later, a Feng Shui expert passed by this place. He said that there was an underwater dragon palace under the Yinyi River. In the dragon palace lived a sleeping dragon king. The dragon king yawned casually in his sleep. For the ship merchants and merchants on the river, For fishermen, it is a devastating disaster. Moreover, the Dragon King will wake up from hunger once every year when the rainy season comes, and continue to fall into sleep after eating enough living people."
"After listening to the Feng Shui master's words, the local people wanted to spend a lot of money to find a temple builder to build a Dragon King temple at this big intersection. They would worship the Dragon King during every year and festival and pray for good weather."
"It just so happens that the Feng Shui master knows some skills in building temples."
"After receiving heavy rewards from the local people, he began to build a temple on the top of Daguaikou Mountain. He also laid four dry bone piles and built a Dragon King Temple and Dragon King Tower on the foundation of the dry bone piles. "
"That Feng Shui master is really good at it. With the completion of Longwangtai, the raging water at this big turning point has been suppressed. Although there will be several floods every few years, they are never as violent as before. .”
When talking about this, Master Shanneng sang the Buddha's name and finished talking about the origin of Dragon King Terrace.
Dry bone pile, isn't this a zombie!
This Feng Shui master is indeed very good at using zombies to lay foundation piles. I don’t know if this kind of folklore is true or false?
If it is true, this Feng Shui master is really a strange person.
In other places, when people on both sides of the river face annual flooding, they build river temples, He Bo temples, and Dragon King temples...and then offer sacrifices every year to worship the River God, He Bo, or the Dragon King, praying for good weather and good weather. Gods, don’t dare to provoke gods.
Such as offering sacrifices to bronze vessels, fine wines, delicacies, stone carvings, etc., and even many places have developed the practice of sacrificing living people to the river god He Bo...
Or they kidnapped and trafficked young girls, and threw themselves into the river every year to marry the river god Hebolong King, and other stupid and unscrupulous things.
But why does that Feng Shui gentleman do the opposite?
It’s okay to disrespect a god, but he actually took the lead in driving drought bone piles, suppressing evil with evil, and overwhelming the Water Dragon King in the Dragon Palace under the river?
According to normal logic, should we kill the River God Hebolong King from the beginning;
Why don't you offend the river god Hebolong King in the first place, just accept it and worship it every year to pray for good weather?
That's why Jin An feels that this folk rumor is a bit illogical.
"Master Shan Neng, is there really a Dragon King in this world?"
"If there really is a Dragon King, will it really be possible for a Feng Shui master to lead some ordinary people who have no occult skills to easily suppress and surrender?"
"That Feng Shui master is not afraid that he will offend the Dragon King to death. The Dragon King will escape from the trap one day, and then he will kill the people of Jiang'an who suppressed him, the disciples and grandchildren of the people of Jiang'an, and his descendants. Eat clean?"
Faced with Jin An's three consecutive questions, Master Shanneng naturally shook his head, unable to tell whether this folk rumor was true or false.
For example, county annals and prefectural annals record abnormal weather conditions, droughts, floods, and various natural and man-made disasters. When faced with various natural and man-made disasters, the people are ignorant and inevitably use exaggerated words to promote the way of heaven and theology. There are many examples of this in history. .
"If there is really a dragon king pressing down under the Yinyi River, Master Shanneng, do you think that the Yinyi River suddenly stopped flowing overnight a month ago, and then mysteriously restored its water level overnight? Could it be that this dragon king escaped from the trap and was there? Cannibalism for revenge?”
Jin An suddenly made a bold guess.
Well.
As soon as Jin An finished saying this, he found that the boat he and Master Shanneng were riding on had entered the mouth of Daguai.
Jin An suddenly felt that his whole soul was not in good condition.
This is really a crow's mouth.
Jin An quickly shut up, not daring to speak nonsense at this time, lest the crow's mouth really work and suffer some unreasonable disaster.
At this time, Jin An realized that even Master Shanneng had kept silent.
Instead, focus on steering forward.
The water under the feet became more and more turbulent, and the undercurrents attracted the soul-inducing ship one after another. One after another, turbid waves half a man's height broke into the cabin, as if a pair of big hands wanted to capsize the soul-inducing ship.
At this moment, the soul-inducing ship seemed to fall into the stormy black abyss, swaying left and right, being fiddled with violently, as small as a rootless duckweed, and extremely fragile.
But fortunately, Master Shanneng, an eminent monk of Bailong Temple, has always been steady at the helm of the pole. Although the soul-inducing boat has violent ups and downs in the sharp bends of the river, which are like thousands of waves, it has always been stable and can move quickly along the river without any danger. go ahead.
Go forward bravely in the rapids.
In Buddhism, we pay attention to cultivating one's mind and one's nature.
At this time, the steady progress in the storm is like the bright mind of a Zen monk. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? If the Buddha's mind is clear, I can cross to the other side.
The soul boat was rushing through the rapids of the Big Turn. At this time, they had entered the narrowest part of the Big Turn.
The narrowest part is not even ten feet wide.
If one is not careful, the ship may be destroyed and people may be killed.
Rarely!
Jin An's expression changed!
When the soul-inducing ship entered the big turning point, the sound of whispers that seemed to be coming from many people suddenly increased in volume.
Many people whispered in his ears, including desperate screams, evil fighting sounds, and vicious curses... The deeper the soul-inducing ship went into the Big Crescent, the whispers became louder and louder, as if in the fog on the ship at this moment. , in the mist above his head, the soul from the wronged soul was unwilling to peek at him, staring at him nakedly.
The whispers turned into angry roars, howling ghosts, eardrums stinging, and headaches like splitting.
"Five thunders of pure Yang, the righteous law of heaven and earth, even you lonely ghosts dare to spy on me!"
Jin An visualized the calamity of inner demons, and combined with the five thunder evil slaying talismans on his body, at this moment, his thoughts were beating with pure Yang, and he was not afraid of ghosts and gods.
Thunder method is the way of all methods.
Wherever Jin'an's eyes pass, it's like the Five Thunder Emperors inspecting the underworld, and the demons retreat.
Only then did the roaring sounds of countless innocent souls in his ears stop.
"How many innocent souls are buried under this big intersection!"
"The cries were so loud that they drowned out the sound of thousands of troops and horses galloping across the river!"
Jin An's head sank.
Who knew!
At this moment, Master Shanneng suddenly said in an urgent tone to Jin An: "Something is coming. Master Jin An, please don't look back!"
"Be careful what you carry back to the underworld, and look for a scapegoat to return the favor in the human world!"
This was the first time that Jin An heard Master Shanneng's voice so urgently.
Jin An's soul was chilled. This was not because he was frightened, but because the Yin Qi around him suddenly rose sharply. Even the Liujia Yang Shen on the Liuding Liujia Talisman on his body was unable to protect his soul due to the strong Yin Qi.
Could it be that the Water Dragon King was really nailed to the head by four dry bone stakes in this big corner?
If it were an ordinary person, the more you tell him not to look back at this time, the more likely he will be unable to help but look back curiously.
Jin An suppressed his curiosity to look back and continued to follow the soul-inducing boat in the rough river.
Fortunately, after we passed the narrowest part of Daguai Kou, we saw a trumpet mouth in front of our eyes, the mountains on both sides opened up, and the river gradually began to calm down.
They had successfully exited the most dangerous turn, and the negative energy on the ship had dissipated.
After continuing for some distance, and when he felt it was safe enough, Jin An remembered to ask Master Shanneng what on earth was following them just now?
Is that Dragon King causing trouble? Will there really be a Dragon King?
