River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 360 The Return of the Soul
Jiang Ling smiled gently: "Do you want to row?"

How dare the rest of them say no?
A bandit pointed at the Hengjiang iron lock and stammered: "Master...my lord, if you want to leave, this iron lock...must be unlocked. I...I can untie it."

He volunteered.

When the rest of the people heard him say this, they also responded one after another: "I... I can go too."

"I can also untie it."

Jiang Ling: "It's just an iron lock on Hengjiang, so why bother?"

He swiped his finger towards the river, the iron chain suddenly snapped, and with a bang it broke away, and the big boat continued to go down the river.

The thieves were dumbfounded again, so the thick iron chain was opened at will?

Is this person a human or a ghost?

Now, the only excuse to disembark was useless, and everyone had no choice but to accept their fate and go to the cabin to work hard on the boat.

Jiang Ling: "If you work hard on this trip, I will spare your lives. But if you are lazy and playful, don't blame me for being cruel."

He took out a paper figurine, breathed a sigh of relief, the paper figurine jumped onto the deck, and led the way to the cabin.

Seeing this scene, all the thieves were so frightened that the paper figurines could walk.

They looked at Jiang Ling in horror, and they became more and more suspicious of his inhumanity.

"Go."

With Jiang Ling waving his hand, all the gangsters dared not refuse, and followed the paper figurines obediently and went down the cabin.

There are paper people watching, but they are indeed working hard.

After the oars on both sides of the big boat finally moved, the speed of the boat increased by more than three times.

Jiang Ling took Qingshuang and Hexiang into the boat house to rest, the big ship sailed like an arrow, and it only took half a day to pass through two counties.

Some passers-by saw it, and they were astonished as heavenly beings, and the figure of the big boat passed by almost blindingly.

A drunken Confucian scholar saw it, and wrote it down with a pen—[Shenzhou leaped thousands of feet into the waves, when will I return when I go east? 】

When some villagers saw it, there was a new local legend - in the 16th year of Jingtai, on the [-]th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar, on the Huaihe River, the Dragon King accepted his daughter, took the Jiaolong as a boat, and went eastward on the waves, passing by in front of Xingjia Village.

When the sun was sinking to the west, the big boat jumped out of the river and entered a vast ocean, but it came to the Hongze Lake area.

The next day, we went south along the river and stopped at Hu County before dark.

This place is close to the sea, if it is in later generations, this place can be said to be the most prosperous place in the land of China.But now it is desolate everywhere, and the city of a county is only a middle city, with a population of just over a thousand households.

In the spring and Autumn period, there was a spring bid here.

The folk customs here are acceptable, and most of them live by sea fishing.There are also saltworks and iron smelting.

The boat stopped here, and Jiang Ling got off the boat with his two daughters and left.

The gangsters who had worked hard for two days in the cabin, indeed, after they disembarked, the paper dolls who supervised them automatically turned into ashes.

When they got out of the boat, they could only smell the stench of the ocean everywhere in the air. Obviously, these people were far away from their hometown.

Seeing this strange place, everyone looked at each other, entered the cabin again, rowed again, and wanted to go back the same way.

No matter what their profession is, what ordinary people have in their bones is the desire to return to their roots.The so-called people who leave their hometowns are cheap, even though their hometown is now raging with war, they still feel that their hometown is kind.Only by going back there can I be at ease.

Before nightfall, the three of Jiangling found an inn to stay.

Not long after, I saw fireworks all over the city, and the clouds and mist were shrouded in smoke. Even at the entrance of the inn, incense and paper were also burned, and joss sticks were lit.

Counting the days, Jiang Ling also found out that it was the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month, and it was Ghost Festival.

It was only at the end of Shenzhou that there were suddenly shadows on the street, and the faint night wind was carrying a long queue.

like a black dragon,

When passing through each household, someone in the team will roll their names loudly, and those whose names are called will leave the team and float into it.

When they arrived at the inn, three people were called by name.

Jiang Ling went to the window to look, only to realize that the caller was a man covered in black and holding a roster, this is the local night wandering spirit.

Although neither Qingshuang nor Hexiang could see this scene, they instinctively felt that it was extremely cold tonight.

'It turns out that on Ghost Festival, there really are ghosts returning. '

The three shadows that entered the inn should be the innkeeper's family.

Jiang Ling asked Qingshuang and Hexiang to rest earlier, and Qingshuang sat on the bed and began to meditate, practicing the [Nine-Nine Hades Way].He Xiang couldn't practice the [Jiujiu Hades Way], so he could only practice the [Shangqing Yuling Jue] to improve himself.

Seeing how selfless the two of them were, Nie Qian giggled and climbed onto Jiang Ling's bed after they both settled down.

Only half an hour later, a gong suddenly sounded on the street.

Jiang Ling was lying on the bed, his mind was wandering outside, his mind was like an eye, peeking into the outside world, he saw the dark night wandering god carrying a gong and beating it.

It turned out that he led many Yin people and was about to return.

'July [-]th, so it was only released for such a short time? '

In ordinary people's perception, the gate of hell opens on July [-]th and will not close until July [-]th.

When the Yin man returns home, he will reunite with his family for a day at home.

Nie Qian sat on Jiang Ling's body, shaking slightly.

After a while, his whole body went limp, and he fell into his arms like a puddle of ooze.

"Master, Xiaoqian is dying."

As soon as she was tired, her body shrunk rapidly, Jiang Ling was in her arms, and then disappeared.

With Nie Qian's body of half demon and half demon, when she was cultivating with him, the effect was amazing.

It's just that her body is too soft and too sensitive, every time she is the one who provokes her first, but she is always the one who falls asleep first.

As soon as Nie Qian was taken in, Jiang Ling suddenly noticed a black shadow drifting into his room.

he panicked

The sound of gongs outside made him panic, and he went through several doors before breaking into Jiangling's room.

After he came in, he saw Qingshuang and Hexiang sitting on the side. The women should be more yin, but he felt a strong yang fire in these two women.

He instinctively avoided the two women, and then fixed his eyes on Jiang Ling.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he unexpectedly discovered that there was a guest in this inn who had all the flames on his head extinguished.Is a half-dead man.

Overjoyed, he suddenly ran towards the bed.

Want to squeeze into Jiang Ling's body.

Jiang Ling suddenly raised his eyes to stare at him, his eyes sharpened sharply.

But this person was so anxious that he didn't care about 21, he still forcibly drilled towards Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling saw that he didn't know how to live or die, so he had to open his mouth and bite, this "person" not only didn't get into his body, but was swallowed into his mouth and into his stomach.

The heaven and the earth are in one breath, and the belly turns ghosts into wine.

Jiang Ling only touched his stomach, and then a breath of fresh air melted away, and the "person" disappeared in it.

But the sound of gongs on the street outside suddenly became louder.

The dark Ye Youshen couldn't summon anyone, so he had to find it by himself.

As if there was a technique of traction, smelling the "human" breath, he went straight to Jiangling's room through the wooden wall.

He glanced around with faint eyes, and finally found that there was a trace of that shady man's aura on Jiang Ling's body.
