The snake demon husband is hard on the bow

"Yes!" Du Yuanyuan wiped the corners of his eyes with his arm, "I searched all over the world, but I couldn't find a way to save my brother. Later, I heard people say that you can get back your lost soul by going to the ghost world. ..."

The old man's gaze reflected the dimly lit candles in the shop, and he looked at Shi Nu carefully, then raised his arm and stretched out his hand to touch his face lightly, showing deep regret and regret in his expression. pity.Seeing that there was something going on, Du Yuanyuan quickly went further and said sadly, "Brother, he also left behind an orphan girl. After being plundered by evil spirits, his wife also ran away from home. Now I can only take care of such a half-grown child." .” As he spoke, he lifted the little mushroom and pushed it in front of the old man’s eyes, “She’s still young, so I really don’t know what to do in the future.”

At this point, Xiaodie finally understood her father's schemes. Tears rolled in her big cute eyes, and she looked at the old man with her mouth curled up, "Grandpa, just tell us, save my son!" Father."

"Hey." The old man sighed, "It's not that I'm hard-hearted, but that even if I tell you, I'm afraid I'm going to die. You are all in good years, I really can't bear to see you step on that road of no return." way."

"The kindness of the old man is very touching to the younger generation. Before that, we also searched many places and asked about many people, but no one knew about it. Later, it was nowhere to be found. I suddenly thought that someone like you The shop may know some news about the ghost world, so I came here rashly. No matter how dangerous it is, I will help my brother find his soul. Our family is poor, and my brother and I have depended on each other since we were young. Now he is like this How can I just stand by and watch, please ask the old man to show me the way."

The owner of the coffin shop that Du Yuanyuan said in blood and tears was also in a dilemma. In fact, he was not only worried about their lives, but the road to the ghost world was a secret.Finally, he sighed heavily, "Forget it, come here."

Through the front hall full of coffins, a thick black gauze curtain was opened, and it was a small room of more than ten square meters. In this room, there were no household furnishings, and a bottle of half-meter-high bottle of The altar is very simple to build. It looks like it is made of coffin boards. There are some tributes and incense on the altar. There is a picture hanging on the wall above the altar.

This picture scroll is quite mysterious, but it is also tightly covered with black gauze.

The old man approached, picked up a wooden pole, and slowly lifted the black veil, it turned out that it was a map.

But it was definitely not an ordinary map. The old man held up the candlestick and looked at it against the flickering candlelight. The roads and fields on the map seemed to be flowing. The texture was very old kraft paper, drawn with blood-red paint.

"Young man, do you understand?" The old man was old, his eyes were weak, and he was very close, his face was almost stuck on the map, and he waved a candle in an area, "Here, it is Luoyu Town. Have you seen this mountain? It’s called Qiling Mountain, and the one next to it is called Jiuyin Mountain.” After a pause, his tone became heavy, “Crossing Jiuyin Mountain is the gateway to the ghost world. Way to go."

Du Yuanyuan approached, pointed to a water area between Luoentrop Town and Qiling Mountain, and said, "Does this river have to be crossed?"

"That's it." The old man put down his hand and put the candlestick on the altar. "If you want to cross the river, you have to find the boatman named Gu. He is the only one in Luoentrop Town who can cross the Wangshui River."

Du Yuanyuan nodded slowly, with a hint of doubt, but he didn't know which direction they would enter from the ghost world. Last time, they fell directly into the ghost world from the virtual world, "Old man, if we successfully climbed Jiuyin Mountain, will we be in the ghost world at the entrance?" The place was caught or intercepted by the soldiers of the ghost world."

"I don't dare to say this. This is also one of the reasons why I don't want you to take risks. Anything can happen. If you are at a good age...wouldn't it be a pity." The old man sighed. .

"Old man, you are so kind-hearted." Du Yuanyuan smiled, and there was a gleam of emotion in his heart. When we met by chance, it is really hard for someone to care about their lives in this world. "We have already made up our minds, as the saying goes , life and death depend on fate, success or failure is in the sky."

"Well, since you are determined to go, I will give you more details." Seeing Du Yuanyuan's determination, the old man couldn't say anything more to stop him, "I'm a layman. Ghosts, gods, and so on are all hearsay." He pointed to the map again, "This map was left by my ancestors, but so far, no one has actually set foot on this road. Road." Paused, "You cross the Wangshui River from here, remember, never look back after landing on the bank, as long as you step on the bank, just go forward, no matter what happens behind you, Don't look back! Remember."

"Old man, why is this?"

"In our town of entropy, there is such a legend that there is a water demon in the Wangshui River among the people. Be more careful, don't be confused by illusions, they say that Wangshui River will never return, I don't know how many people have been deceived and drowned themselves in the river. At that time, I will ask Mr. Xia Gu to take care of you on the way. I am here The town has lived for a lifetime, nothing else, there is still some kindness, but the most important thing is to be careful yourself. It is said that the water demon's whereabouts are erratic, appearing and disappearing, although there has never been a living person for hundreds of years. But I’d rather believe it than believe it.”

"Well, old man, I remember." Du Yuanyuan nodded firmly.

"As for Qiling Mountain, there is nothing wrong with it, except that the vegetation is luxuriant. Fortunately, it is winter now, except for some evergreen pines and cypresses, the rest of the trees and shrubs have withered, so you can see the way clearly." After the old man finished speaking, he used his finger on the map The above gestured, "This road is the road up the mountain, in the northwest corner."

Du Yuanyuan squinted his eyes and nodded, "Looking at the mountain, it will take a day and a half to climb over."

"If you can really cross the Qiling Mountain in one day, it is really your good fortune." The old man's tone was a little disappointed, "It doesn't look too far away from the picture, and it's not too high, in fact..." A little embarrassed smiled, "Actually, the specific mountain I don't know how high it is and how dangerous the road is."

"It's okay, old man, it's a great help for you to give us these pointers." Du Yuanyuan firmly remembered the route up the mountain, and then asked, "After getting off Qiling Mountain, where should we enter Jiuyin Mountain?"
