Granny Sha's face was uncertain. Even if Chen Shi was not bitten to death by the big gun, he would be lost in the Wangchuan River and unable to return. She also could not explain it to Chen Yindu!
"Without the hemp rope, he will not be able to return from the Wangchuan River... This is all because of my greed. I actually wanted to use this child to go to the Wangchuan River to find the treasure, but I ended up harming him! If I had known this, I would have told him directly about the treasure
That’s where the ancient temple is.”
She was filled with regret, but what had happened had already happened, and feeling sorry for herself would not help. What she had to do now was to check whether Chen Shi was really dead.
If it is not dead, then make amends.
If he died...
"Then I can only apologize to Old Chentou with death!"
Granny Sha bit off her right index finger and drew a talisman in the air with her own blood. What she drew was the soul-calling talisman.
Strangely enough, her blood actually floated in the air with no tendency to fall, as if it was bound by a strange force.
As Grandma Sha moved her fingers, a talisman that was three feet long and only two inches wide was written by her.
The top part is the edict of the Three Pure Ones, and the bottom part is the text of the Three Souls and Seven Souls. The form is simple.
Drawing talismans out of thin air is an astonishing achievement, and it is the dream of a talisman master. However, Granny Sha seems to be an ordinary old lady, with nothing special about her.
The soul-calling power burst out from this soul-calling talisman is so powerful that it crosses the two realms of Yin and Yang in an instant and reaches the underworld!
Granny Sha knew that she had made a big mistake, so unlike the usual soul-calling spells, the soul-calling talisman she drew this time used her own heart essence and blood.
The essence and blood in the heart are very strong and yang, the quantity is very small, it is only enough to draw a talisman, but the power is extraordinary.
If Chen Shi is really dead, even if he is caught in the Yama Palace, with this talisman alone, she can take Chen Shi's soul back from the hands of the King of Hell!
However, the talisman burned out, and Granny Sha failed to summon Chen Shi's soul.
"It's good that you're not dead, it's good that you're not dead!"
Granny Sha breathed a sigh of relief, then paused, and saw the shadow of the little old woman suddenly growing in all directions on the ground like branches. From the shadow grew five green-faced and fanged ghost kings, standing in the air, folding their hands and obeying orders.
Granny Sha's thoughts moved slightly, and the five ghosts roared away.
After a while, countless bricks and stones flew in, and in just a short time, an altar was built on the bank of the Dejiang River, with a length of three feet and a width of three feet and a height of one foot and two.
Five ghost kings hold big flags and stand on the five corners of the altar, occupying the five elements.
Grandma Sha took out Wenwang Drum.
This drum is a strange instrument that looks like a drum but not a drum, and looks like a gong but not a gong. It has only one side covered with skin and the other side is empty. There are ropes crisscrossing the drum, which can be grasped by hand.
The rustling drum beat that Chen Shi heard in the underworld last time was the sound produced by this instrument.
Grandma Sha played the Wenwang drum, and a sudden gloomy wind blew up. In an instant, the surface of the Dejiang River seemed to have entered darkness, and even the sun's rays could not shine into the darkness.
"I have summoned countless ghosts from the underworld in my life, and I have offended too many evil ghost kings. This time, I am afraid that I will attract the attention of many old enemies and take the opportunity to seek revenge! But I can't care about so many!"
Granny Sha screamed, the drums rang, and in the darkness a bluestone road was paved from the altar to the river.
This little old woman actually used her own magic power to open up a road connecting the two realms of Yin and Yang, trying to bring Chen Shi from the Wangchuan River in the underworld!
"Xiao Shi!"
Her voice reached the underworld, "Follow the sound of my drum, and I will lead you back to the underworld!"
Let's talk about the big gun's mouth. Chen Shi firmly grabbed the fishhook, and the fishhook was deeply embedded in the soft meat next to the throat bone of the big fish.
The throat bone is the back molar of this big fish. When crushed up and down, it is like two pieces of iron weighing 10,000 kilograms. Every time it is crushed, two huge pieces of iron are smashed together. Fire is scattered everywhere, shaking Chen Shi's arms.
tingling!
But he didn't dare to let go, because he would be in the mouth of the big fish, and the other two rows of teeth of the big fish were clicking and biting, trying to bite him and throw him out.
If he lets go, he will be cut into countless pieces immediately!
Just when the big gun pounced down, he jumped suddenly in the water and jumped into the big gun's mouth, thus avoiding the fate of being bitten in half.
However, his situation is also very bad now. If the fishhook falls off, I'm afraid he will still be bitten to pieces!
Suddenly, Chen Shi saw a flash of blue light, and all the flesh and blood on the big fish disappeared, leaving only the huge fish bones swimming in the water.
Chen Shi raised his hand and saw that all the flesh and blood on his arm had disappeared and turned into white bones.
He looked over and saw that his body was also completely devoid of flesh and blood and turned into a skeleton of white bones!
"Did I enter the Lethe River?"
Chen Shi was surprised.
The big fishhook was originally hooked on the flesh and blood of the big gun. At this moment, the big gun turned into a fish bone and the fishhook fell off. Chen Shi grabbed the fishhook and his heart sank.
The hemp rope is broken.
"How should I go back... Granny Sha's methods are amazing, she will definitely find a way. Now, it's important to find the bronze lamp that Granny Sha lost first!"
Chen Shi took off the iron chain on his body, tied the heavy fishhook to the chain, and hung the hook on the big gun's throat bone. He cheered up and swam out from between the big gun's gill bones.
This big fish has no flesh and blood and cannot trap him.
What's even more weird is that Da Gun didn't have any interest in Chen Shi, who was also in a skeletal state, and swam past him without swallowing him in one bite.
"Since Gun can swim from the Yang world to the underworld, he must also be able to swim back from the underworld to the Yang world."
Chen Shi said sincerely, "If Grandma Sha can't find me, I will catch this big fish and let it swim back to the world with me. But I don't know when this big fish will go back."
The big gun swam aimlessly, showing no sign of being in a hurry to go back.
Chen Shi also felt relieved and searched in the Wangchuan River.
The river was shimmering with blue light, and there were passing ships on the river, like wooden boats, casting mottled shadows from above.
There are strange corals, jagged rocks, and huge shells growing on the bottom of the river, which are very thick. There are also bone fish swimming around, which are probably the juvenile form of the giant gun.
These Guns are small in size. The reason why they live in the Wangchuan River in the underworld instead of going to the human world is that there are no predators in the Wangchuan River.
Chen Shi looked around for a long time and found that there were no other skeletons except himself. He thought there were no humans in the river.
"This kind of shell can also travel between the Yin and Yang realms?"
Chen Shi opened a huge shell, but there was no shell meat inside. There was a panic-looking little boy in his teens. He hurriedly made a silencing gesture to him, grabbed the shell and covered it back.
Chen Shi was surprised that while he was in a skeleton state, this little boy was actually flesh and blood!
"However, it should be the other way around in the Wangchuan River. Da Gun and I are flesh and blood, but when we reach the river, we turn into white bones. This little boy should be a white skeleton, but when we are in the river, we become flesh and blood."
Chen Shi had something to ask, so he opened the shell again. The little boy was curled up and lying between the two shells. He panicked when he saw this, raised his finger and pointed at it, and wanted to cover it with the shell again.
Chen Shi smiled and said, "What's on it?"
Suddenly, a green light shone down from above and swept across the bottom of the river. The little boy didn't care much and grabbed Chen Shi's arm, pulled him into the shell, and hurriedly covered it with the shell.
The green light swept across the river bottom with a buzzing sound, and the light returned to the surface of the river. Chen Shi looked up along the cracks in the shells, and saw that the green light came from a passing wooden boat.
A tall and thin figure stood on the canoe, and the green light shot out from his eyes!
Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat. He thought it was the tall and thin figure on the canoe who noticed the movement under the water and opened his eyes to look!
His gaze is so terrifying, if you are caught by his gaze, you will be in danger!
Chen Shi was about to thank the little boy when he was suddenly kicked by the little boy in the shell and kicked him out of the shell.
Chen Shi planned to go back to him to thank him, but the little boy had already closed the shell and hid it inside, refusing to show up.
"Hello, my name is Chen Shi. I'm not trying to rob your house. I'm looking for a copper lamp that fell into the Wangchuan River nine years ago. Do you know where that lamp is?" Chen Shi asked politely.
road.
An arm stretched out from the shell, turned and pointed in the distance.
"Thanks."
Chen Shi followed the direction pointed by the little boy. Along the way, he saw many shells quietly opening, hiding children, both male and female, secretly poking their heads and looking at him curiously.
Occasionally there are a few adult men, women, and even elderly people, but the number is relatively small.
But whenever a canoe passed by on the water, they would hurriedly close their shells, as if they were afraid of the tall and thin figure on the canoe.
"Buzz!"
Another light shone down, and it was the gaze of the tall and thin figure on the wooden boat. It penetrated the Wangchuan River and reached the river bed, shining on a boy who could not escape.
The boy couldn't help but fly up in the beam of light, flew out of the river, and was caught by the tall and thin figure.
Chen Shi looked up and saw that the tall and thin figure actually opened his mouth wide. The mouth almost separated the head from the center line. It was so huge that he swallowed the boy whole.
The tall and thin figure moved his chin up and down, as if he still had something to say.
Chen Shi couldn't help but shudder, and found an ownerless shell. Holding it with both hands, he walked underwater. When a canoe passed by, he squatted down and covered himself under the shell.
"Who are the people on the canoe? Who are these children hiding under the shells?" He was quite curious.
At this moment, he suddenly stopped and looked at the children in the shells, and a thought flashed through his mind.
"I know! I know why they are hiding in the shells! They are the drowned children of Tokugawa!"
The Yudai River, a tributary of the Dejiang River, drowns several children who go swimming in the river every year, and I'm afraid even more children drown in the Dejiang River.
These drowned children turned into ghosts and wandered into the Wangchuan River. They were afraid of the people on the boat, so they hid in these shells!
As for the small number of adult men, women and elderly people, it is because relatively few adults drowned!
Chen Shi looked at the large and small shells on the river bed and murmured: "How could there be so many people..."
He calmed down and continued walking, finally seeing a ray of light.
The light is indeed not very bright, but the strange thing is that the light is very penetrating, and the light can be seen from a long distance away.
Chen Shi walked forward, only to feel that the pressure around him was getting stronger and stronger, making his bones crack and crack, and his two leg bones sank into the soil.
The further he walked, the greater the pressure. Soon the soil was up to his knees, making every step extremely difficult.
Chen Shi looked up and finally saw the light clearly.
I saw that the source of the light was indeed a copper lamp. The copper lamp had a handle. Below it was a fat sheep with short limbs. The handles were horns. There was a person sitting on the sheep's back. The lamp flame came from the head of the doll.
The heavenly spirit appeared on the lid, and I thought there was lamp oil in the doll.
A lamp with such a shape is very strange, especially the fact that it can still burn and emit light in the river water, which makes this copper lamp even more extraordinary.
However, the bronze lamp is currently held in a big bone hand.
There was no trace of flesh on the bone-white palm, which was four to five times the size of an ordinary person, with slender knuckles.
Chen Shi looked along the skeletal palm and saw a rather huge skeleton sitting on the river bed. Even sitting, it was as tall as two or three Chen Shi.
What’s even weirder is the skeleton of the skull, which doesn’t look like human bones at all!
Instead, it was a huge head, long, like a bird's head, but without a beak. It had a long mouth with fangs.
The eye sockets of the skull are so large that they can fit an adult's fist inside.
The nostrils of the skull are also large.
Seeing this scene, Chen Shi couldn't help but think of the tall and thin figure on the wooden boat.
"This is a tall, thin figure that has fallen!"
Just when he thought of this, Grandma Sha's voice suddenly came: "Xiao Shi! Follow the sound of my drum, and I will lead you back to the underworld!"
When Chen Shi heard this, he became energetic: "My mother-in-law is here to pick me up!"
He couldn't help but reach out and grab the copper lamp.
Chapter completed!
