I saw that it was getting dark, so I quickly asked Captain Wu to withdraw the search team.
At this time, it is not a wise move to search on the Yellow River at night. Maybe the searchers will have an accident, and more people will die by then.
Besides, it had already been an afternoon, and those two people knew without thinking that the situation was definitely in danger.
Although this doesn't sound good, it's actually the truth. In short, we can't let other people die for this.
"Then what should we do now? We need to see people living and dead, and we can't see two living people just disappear for no reason, right?"
Captain Wu looked at me and said with a sad face.
"It's not unusual for people to disappear in the Yellow River. It's not certain that they were washed downstream by the current. Let's leave it at that. The river is definitely not peaceful at night. Don't let people go into the river again. "
I said with a sigh.
"Then...okay."
Captain Wu also sighed, and then quickly called all the searchers back.
Then I asked Captain Wu and others to go back. At night, this place would definitely not be stable. They could not help much if they stayed here, but it would be easy for things to happen.
So I simply sent them all away.
But in the end, Captain Wu insisted on staying. I don’t know what he thought. Probably because he wanted to see with his own eyes what would happen in this place.
After working all afternoon, we were all a little hungry now, so we all went to the village to have a meal together.
In the end, Captain Wu rushed to buy the order. He had to pay for this meal. After all, he was the one who invited us to help.
I didn’t compete with him on this matter. Anyway, it was just a meal. It didn’t matter who paid the bill.
After dinner, a few of us went directly to the edge of the Yellow River to guard.
In this situation, I don't dare to be careless at all.
If that giant coffin floats up again and the black hole at the bottom of the river is opened directly, all the contents inside will come out.
At that time, the village of Niangniangba will definitely bear the brunt, and maybe the entire village will suffer.
We found a clean place to sit by the dock. Captain Wu also went to the village canteen to bring a box of beer and bought some peanuts and melon seeds.
A few people just sat on the edge of the pier, blowing the evening breeze and drinking beer. It was quite pleasant not to mention.
If you put aside the turbulent undercurrents at the bottom of the river, you would simply come to enjoy the night view on the Yellow River.
However, the surrounding area was dark and there was nothing to appreciate. The Yellow River in front of us was also completely dark.
Time passed by minute by minute, and before I knew it, it was almost midnight.
At this time, a little green light suddenly lit up on the river in the distance, slowly drifting towards us from the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
The Yellow River was really unusually quiet tonight, with not even a hint of wind.
I lit a cigarette and looked at the little green light on the river from a distance.
At this time, others naturally discovered it, and several people suddenly became vigilant.
Especially Captain Wu, he had never seen such a scene before and was obviously a little frightened.
"This thing...is the legendary will-o'-the-wisp, right?"
He looked at me and asked slightly nervously.
"It's not a will-o'-the-wisp, it's just a lamp."
I smiled and said somewhat helplessly.
However, if ordinary people look at this thing, they will really think it is a will-o'-the-wisp.
"Is there a human-like lamp? The color is obviously green, and it feels eerie."
Captain Wu said with some suspicion.
"Not all green lights are will-o'-the-wisps. They are soul-inducing lamps, which can also be called ghost lamps. They burn corpse oil extracted from corpses, so the flames take on this faint green color. "
I roughly explained it to him.
"Corpse oil?"
When Captain Wu heard this, his eyes immediately widened.
Probably due to professional inertia, when he heard the word corpse oil, he naturally thought of criminal incidents.
"You'll know just by looking at it."
As I said this, I gestured with my eyes to the little bit of green light floating from the river.
By now we were getting closer, and we could clearly see the broken ship and the faint green light hanging on the bow.
"Why is it a ship?"
Captain Wu looked at it and was obviously stunned again.
"Don't talk yet."
I quickly raised my hand to stop him.
Because I discovered that tonight the boat did not drift all the way down the river, but came straight towards us.
At this time, all of us were immediately alert, and then each of us stared at the broken ship with surprised expressions.
After a while, the broken ship sailed directly to the dock.
Looking at it up close, I realized that the ship was really in bad condition. It felt like the wood was already moldy and rotten, as if it would fall apart at any time.
Moreover, the man in black robe did not row or steer the boat or anything, he just stood on the bow of the boat, but the boat could move freely on the water.
It's really bizarre.
"what is your job?"
As soon as the boat docked at the dock, Captain Wu immediately frowned and asked the man in black robe.
The man in black robe did not answer, he just looked at Captain Wu, then took out a black token from his pocket and showed it to us.
"I asked you what you do? What's your name?"
When Captain Wu saw that the other party was ignoring him, he suddenly became angry and immediately showed his ID as he spoke.
"You wait a moment, Captain Wu."
I quickly stretched out my hand to stop Captain Wu, and then took a closer look at the token that the man in black robe took out.
There is a big "Xuan" engraved on the front of the token, which is exactly the same as the Xuan Iron Token that Chen Ling showed me before.
This shows that the other party should also be a member of Xuanmen.
But it's hard to say. After all, those ancient corpses all had such tokens on them, and since he was floating on the Yellow River, there was a possibility of picking up such tokens.
"You want to say that you are also a member of Xuanmen?"
I frowned and looked at the man in black robe and asked.
"Yes, I am a member of Xuanmen."
The man in black robe said as he lifted up his cloak, revealing a young and pale face.
Chen Ling and I looked at each other, and for a moment we didn't know what to say.
If this man in black robe is really a member of Xuanmen, then you don’t need to think about it to know that he must be a member of Xuanmen before the split. At least he does not belong to any of the five lines of Xuanmen.
It sounds like we are from the same sect, but in fact, Xuanmen has long since fallen apart, and there is no relationship between the various branches.
Now that the man in black robe reveals his identity, I don't know what he wants to express? Does he know that the original Xuanmen no longer exists?
