Chapter 38 The Ferryman
Seeing Jiang Ling staggering into the woods, Lin He took out a black notebook from his arms, and there was already a sentence on it.
[Suspected seals of level 4 or above, the location status is unknown, and the ability to control heavy rainfall in astronomical phenomena]
Take out the ballpoint pen in the notebook, Lin He crosses out the 'location status unknown', and then starts a new line below
[The seal is suspected to be abandoned Longshan Mountain Temple]
[In addition to the ability of celestial phenomena, you may also have the ability to distort common sense. Those who are distorted will believe that a festival like "Mountain God Sacrifice" exists, which is suspected to be mentally disturbed]
Close the notebook and Lin He returned to the road.
At this moment, the road is full of people, most of them are elderly people. Most of the young and middle-aged people in Longshangu Village work outside. There are only dozens of elderly people over fifty years old in the village all year round. However, most of the elderly in the mountains were hunters before, and even when they were old, they still looked energetic.
As soon as Lin He returned to the door, an old man knocked on the door.
"Miss Jiang's wife, have you packed up? The people in other villages are almost here, so we have to set off."
"Check it out, right away!"
Yu Fang's response came from the house.

Jiujiu followed the team silently with her schoolbag on her back, her raincoat was covered with mud spots, and the jeans and even white pantyhose inside were stained with dirt.
There were children in the team holding toy water guns and firing at each other, splashing muddy water on the stone road. If they splash onto adults, they would be caught and scolded.
A young man in a white raincoat approached Jiujiu,
"Little sister, are you here to participate in the Mountain God Festival?
Are you alone?
Where are your parents?"
Jiujiu looked up at him, looked at his mouth open and closed, showing a hint of smile.
The young man saw that she did not reply, so he started chatting with others. The team was full of joy and festive atmosphere.
Jiujiu didn't speak, her world is now very quiet.
Just now, their team joined the team of Nanshan Village, and the next stop was Longshangu Village.
He gently touched his ears and confirmed that he really couldn't hear any sound now. Jiujiu pursed her lips.
At first she landed in the team in Longjiang Village, and the villagers told her that they were going to the mountains to participate in the mountain god festival, so that the mountain god could calm the heavy rain.
She tried to persuade the villagers to escape outside and leave the heavy rain area, but was rejected, so she had to follow the villagers to continue walking forward.
At first she thought it was normal and had no doubt about the mountain god festival. She just felt that these villagers were a little superstitious and stubborn, but when they arrived at Xigu Village, the situation became strange.
A foundation rescue team has arrived in the village before them, but no matter what the rescue team says, the villagers are unwilling to evacuate.
No one in Xigu Village believes that there is a mountain god festival. This is something that Jiujiu confirmed to the villagers. However, after Jiujiu talked with a member of a rescue team for less than two minutes, all the villagers in Xigu Village suddenly went to participate in the mountain god festival together.
The members of other rescue teams have also become "admirers of the Mountain God Festival". Even the members of the rescue team who had talked to Jiujiu returned to the team and participated in the Mountain God Festival together.
At the same time, Jiujiu found that information about the mountain god sacrifice was gradually emerging in her consciousness.
She realized that this was from the ‘pollution’ of the seal.
Superpowered persons are born with relatively good pollution resistance, so she is gradually "polluted" after a period of time, but if she doesn't think of a solution, she will probably be completely polluted.
Based on his understanding of the seal, Jiujiu knew that this "Mountain God Festival" was probably not a friendly temple fair celebration.
In Nanshan Village, she discovered ways to ‘pollute’ outsiders.
It's 'voice'.
There are several families in Nanshan Village who took their boyfriends/girlfriends home for the New Year in advance. It was almost a moment for the villagers of Nanshan Village to "pollution" to infect the villagers of Nanshan Village. For those "outsiders", they became "the admirers of the "mountain god sacrifice" after hearing the three words "mountain god sacrifice".
This also explains why the members of the rescue team who had a good chat with Jiujiu in Xigu Village were immediately "polluted" after returning to the team.
So Jiujiu secretly searched for a needle to pierce the eardrum. After the severe pain, all the sounds in the world disappeared, and together they also disappeared, the knowledge of "Mountain God Sacrifice" gradually emerging.
If she can go out alive this time, the foundation can help her heal her ears. If she can't go out, then it doesn't matter if she treats or fails.
Some lights could be seen vaguely in front of him. Jiujiu found that everyone around her was talking. Judging from her lips, it seemed that Longshangu Village was about to arrive.
If nothing unexpected happens, Brother Lin is currently in Longshangu Village.

[Ferryer] The moment he started, the scene around Mo Yu quickly became blurred. When the world became clear again, he no longer stood at the door of the RV, but in a sea of blood-red flowers.
The cold wind blew on Mo Yu's face, and all the flowers swayed with the wind, like waves.
On the edge of the sea of flowers is a river.
Mo Yu walked to the river bank. The river didn't look wide, only a few dozen meters away. The river water was clear, but Mo Yu did not see any fish or animals in the water, only a riverbed covered with dark sand and stones, and on the other side of the river was also a sea of blood-red flowers.
According to the card description of [Ferryer], this river is the legendary River Styx that divides yin and yang.
Mo Yu squatted down and wanted to touch the river water of the Styx, but found that his hand was passing through the river water directly, unable to touch anything except the cold feeling.
A worn-out wooden boat slowly appeared downstream of the river, and a petite figure with a straw hat stood on the bow of the boat with a bamboo pole. Her pole was very slow and the boat was moving forward very slowly.
However, at this slow speed, the ship arrived in front of Mo Yu almost in a flash.
The figure of an old man in a hospital gown suddenly appeared beside Mo Yu, his eyes staring blankly in front of him.
The boat stopped steadily in front of the old man. The old man slowly raised his foot and appeared on the boat the next second.
Mo Yu felt that the old man looked at him, but he looked carefully but still had an empty look.
The figure on the boat once again supported the bamboo pole and the wooden boat slowly left.
It disappeared at the end of the river in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go."
Just as Mo Yu was thinking about the end of the cutscene and where my hero was, a cold and plain voice came from beside him without any emotion.
Mo Yu turned his head and looked at the "boatman" wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat appeared next to him at some point.
Watching Mo Yu look at him, the "boatman" took off the hat on his head.
