Chapter 228 The Wayfinder

After listening to the conversation between me and Chu Yuan, Bai Yang also heard clearly. He was silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind.

"If going to the bardo world can completely erase the snake curse, it may not be impossible to try!"

Chu Yuan was not so optimistic: "The soul of a living person is separated from the body, even in the yang world, it is easy to be washed away by yang energy, let alone go to that kind of place."

Moreover, after the soul leaves the body, it is not only a matter of time, but more likely to be noticed by the Yin people, and it will be hooked away by the way.

Of course, there are many dangers and taboos in addition to this.

While we were silent, Chu Yuan said again: "Once a living person enters another world, the danger in it is extremely dangerous. The bardo world is the world after death, and we can't predict the changes in it!"

"After taking the snake fruit, if you want to completely eradicate the magic snake's snake curse, you need to pay some price." Bai Yang said calmly, "Even if you die in hell, it's better than being a puppet."

Chu Yuan saw that he was firm in his heart, so he didn't say much.

Bai Yang said in a deep voice: "No matter what, I want to try!"

This is an opportunity. Thinking of the final fate of the snake woman, I am not willing to give up. The magic snake's snake curse is already terrible.

If you want to completely remove it, you will naturally have to pay a huge price, and this kind of thing cannot be done overnight.

I said to Bai Yang: "We will set off tomorrow, no matter what, I will accompany you."

That night, I lay on the bed, tossing and turning, with my eyes closed, I saw the scene of catching floating corpses, and I didn’t fall asleep until the rooster crowed in the village.

The man mentioned by the ghost fisherman lived in the outskirts of the provincial capital, in the building of the water factory.

Chu Yuan was attached to the snake bracelet, Bai Yang and I went to the bus station in the town and took the bus to the provincial capital.

But there were not many people inside, and the driver had to wait for enough to start. I sat in the car for more than ten minutes, and my throat was a little thirsty.

There is a vending point outside the station, so I walked over to get a bottle of water.

When I was about to pay, I was suddenly tapped lightly on the shoulder.

A woman with a foreign accent stood behind me and asked respectfully, "Big sister, do you know how to get to Huangjiahe?"

I was a little baffled, turned around, and saw a middle-aged woman standing behind me, respectful and smiling.

This woman is probably in her 40s, but she is dressed in a rustic style. Her upper body is a red turtleneck sweater, and her lower body is a pair of tight flared jeans. This kind of dress looks a bit like the 90s of the last century.However, when I looked up and saw her face, I was stunned...

At that time, I felt like I was struck by lightning, and my whole body trembled with fright!
Because of the panic, the water I just bought fell to the ground because of the shivering!
I stared dumbfounded at this person...

The mouth is half open, as if seeing a ghost!
I just stared blankly at this person who asked for directions, as if my soul was flying out of my mind!
The other party was obviously frightened by my expression, and looked dumbfounded in surprise.

She looked a little scared, took a step back, and said nervously, "Big sister, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did I recover, and I was so scared that I took a step back and almost cried out.

Because this face is so familiar, I clearly understand that this stranger's face is so familiar!
How could she appear behind me, this is definitely not a dream!
Because of her gaffe, an old man behind the woman also surrounded her nervously.

That's right...there are two of them.

Moreover, I am too familiar with these two faces!

They are the two sunken corpses that I hooked up with "cross-fishing" on the ghost ship in the middle of the night!
Even the clothes they were wearing were exactly the same as what I saw in the middle of the night!
The only difference is that this peasant woman wears a light yellow turban on her head and her face is sallow.

The one who patted me on the shoulder was the first one to come up to the water. The peasant woman looked terrified, and was quite frightened by my surprise.

The other old man was wearing a pair of tattered Jiefang shoes, and was carrying a dirty cloth army bag, and he didn't know what was in it.

The complexion of the two of them was sallow and dark, and they were not locals at first glance, but they looked like authentic peasants.

But this look is not wrong, I am very sure that the corpse caught in the fishing boat last night was the two of them.

I just looked at them in horror, my face was full of panic, and my face was pale!
The appearance of my soul coming out of my body caused them to panic too.

After all, they are all foreigners, and they may be confused when they first arrive.

At this time, looking at me like this, it seems that I have caused some trouble, so I can't help being even more alarmed.

Sure enough, the old man standing behind her gently tugged on her clothes to signal her to leave.

Only then did I realize that they were all living people, not the "drowned corpses" I had seen.

Especially the cautious and attentive look made me understand their care and humbleness.

These two people are both in their 40s, and their plain clothes make them look like migrant workers.

This kind of person is very low-key and cautious outside, and will never cause trouble easily.

I quickly realized that they certainly did not pose any threat to me.

In addition, it is still broad daylight, so it is impossible for ghosts to be so terrifying in this world, right?

Thinking of the mysterious "ghost ship" and Guixianren who have no hexagrams or gods, my heart suddenly moved.

I suppressed the throbbing in my heart, tried to calm myself down, and then asked, "What do you do? Are you going to Huangjiahe to find someone?" Both of them became a little panicked, looked at each other and then stared blankly staring at me, speechless.

I saw that the most dry part of the peasant woman had peeled off, so I hurriedly bought two bottles of water and handed them to her.

"Thank you!"

The two were a little embarrassed, and when they took the water, they nodded and bowed humbly.

After taking a big sip, the peasant woman said angrily, "We are from other places, and we are going to visit relatives in Huangjiahe!"

I don't know if they are afraid of me, but the two of them just dare not look at me directly, they seem a bit "thug-eyed", timid, and dodge subconsciously.

I pointed to the innermost direction of the station, and said to the two of them, "There is a train to Huangjiahe inside, I saw it just now."

"Thank you!"

The peasant woman said something, and the two walked quickly into the bus station with their heads down.

Seeing the flustered and cautious backs of the two of them, my thoughts fell into chaos again.

To be honest, the appearance of these two "drowned corpses" really scared me at first.

However, realizing that they were all alive, I woke up again in broad daylight.

I want to understand why they appear under the "cross-fishing" of the ghost boatman.

Didn't I ask the divine hexagrams for information, is this the ghost fisherman hinting at me?
At this moment, the car's horn brought me back to reality, and I got back on the bus to the provincial capital. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the car set off.

After leaving the town, the cement road ended, the bus turned into a secluded dirt road, and the scenery on both sides became more and more desolate.

The dirt road was surrounded by mountains, it was already afternoon, the sky was overcast, the mountain was dark, and the trees on the mountain were rattling by the wind.

Looking around, I can't see any living creatures in all directions.

The car was bumping on the dirt road, and on the black soil on both sides of the road, I could occasionally see a few lonely graves. An ominous feeling arose in my heart.

Because the road was bad, the road was bumpy. I was already motion sick, and I leaned against the glass window in a daze. The sky outside was dark.
