The speed of the boat was very slow, leading us to be submerged in a faint layer of mist.Meihui always felt that the boat was unknown, and since she got on the boat, she started to check whether it was firm at the bow and stern, whether the rivets fell off, and whether there was any water leakage.

"Brother, take a look at the bow of the boat, this... this seems to be a totem."

Following her voice, I turned on the flashlight and found a strange pattern engraved on the wooden board, which looked like a streamer.And take a closer look at the surroundings of the boat, which are engraved with chisels in many Manchu characters.

Lan Zi has been with Tong Dahai since he was a child, and he is also very proficient in Manchu.She said that this should be a sacrificial oration, and it was talking about the passage in the Buddhist scriptures, such as good people will be rewarded, bad people will go to the eighteen hells after death, and advise people to do good deeds and accumulate virtues.

Hearing what she said, my eyes widened, and I had an ominous premonition in my heart. This is not a boat for ferrying people, but it is clearly an ancient custom of water burial in the Songhua River. It is a ghost lamp!But speaking my judgment at this time will undoubtedly cause the two girls to be in chaos. Now they are driving in the middle of the river, unable to advance or retreat, so we simply keep silent and see where this spirit boat is going to send us.

"Hey! You are overthinking. The fishermen on the water have been superstitious since ancient times. They hope to use some weird spells and sacrificial rites to protect themselves. Didn't you say it? Ningqi Mountain does not bully the water, and the dangers underwater are unknown , You are like many coastal cities in the south that worship Mazu on board, and people have their own code words when sailing, and many words cannot be mentioned. Relatively speaking, the Songhua River in Northeast China is relatively rare, and it is better to follow the Romans." I tried my best to comfort these two girls not to think about other things.

But the direction of the soul-attracting boat made me think in a worse way. Obviously, the northwest wind is blowing now, but the boat is not controlled by external forces at all, and it drifts to the west on its own.

"Lanzi, where is the west side?"

The two girls also felt that something was wrong in the direction, and their faces were pale with fright.

"No, no, I don't know... Last time, the old man said that the west bank of the end of the Songhua River is a water area where the black dragon is said to be infested. Usually, people in the nearby mountains dare not approach it. There have been rumors since ancient times that there are unclean things under the water. " Lanzi is a very timid girl, and she doesn't know how Tong Dahai usually teaches, and she doesn't have the demeanor of a shaman at all.

"Don't worry, both of you, since we are going to the source of the Songhua River soon, no matter how we drift, as long as we go west or north, there will definitely be an end, and we will go into the mountains."

"Oops, can I be skeptical of your decision just now? Even though I don't want to hurt you!" Meihui complained to me with a bitter look on her face.

However, within a minute, the expression on her face was replaced by surprise and curiosity, and in the night, some light spots were faintly flashing under the surface of the water not far away.As we slowly approached that direction, the light source became brighter and brighter, as if the bright stars in the sky fell into the Songhua River, shining brightly under the dark water, one, two, three, four, five There are... too many to count.Moreover, this star-like light source sometimes brightens suddenly and sometimes fades away, like a pair of bright eyes blinking underwater.
