The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 1649
Jiu Ye continued to control the coffin boat down the river, but Jiu Ye didn't relax at all, he kept waving the bamboo wormwood in his hand to control the direction of the boat.

I looked up, and there was fog above the river, but in a space close to the river, the fog was very light.It seemed that the surface of the river was full of darkness.Compared with the shore, the night on the river is more direct, as if you can touch it with your hands.

Master Jiu stopped talking, and I could only hear the sound of rushing water and the sound of bamboo wormwood beating the surface of the water.

The boundless night seems to swallow this boat, and a lone boat on the water looks very insignificant.

Our small boat was moving, when Lord Jiu suddenly swung the bamboo wormwood and slammed it under the surface of the water.The boat suddenly settled in the same place, despite the beating of the waves, it still remained motionless.Looking at this posture, it's like dropping an anchor.

I was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Master Jiu, why don't you leave? Are you at Nanguandu?"

"No, why is Nanguandu so peaceful?" Jiu Ye pointed to the front of the river: "Look over there."

In fact, I have already lost the southeast, northwest, and can only rely on the direction of the water flow to judge the direction. The location Jiu Ye pointed to should be in the southeast direction.In the already low night over there, a thick black mist seemed to rise again.

Master Jiu said in a low voice again: "Passing through the black mist ahead, you will be at Nanguandu, and you will be at the first sight of Thirteen Ghost Eyes."

But why did Master Jiu stop the boat when he saw the destination?

Master Jiu seemed to see through my thoughts, and explained: "I'm waiting, waiting for the most suitable time to enter Nanguandu."

Saying that, Master Jiu took out something from his body and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Dudu..."

There was a sharp whistle, which turned out to be a whistle.

Before the time was up, the sound of splashing came, and a black shadow flew over the water behind the boat.It landed on the canopy with a swish, and it turned out to be that starling, Lord Ba.

"Chachachacha..." Eighth Master walked back and forth on the boat canopy, seeming very excited.

I always thought that Master Jiu should have left the starling at home when we set out on the boat, because we went to the riverside for sacrifices and other activities, but the bird never appeared.Unexpectedly, it actually chased here.

I was surprised, and couldn't help but praise: "Master Jiu, this starling is so powerful. We have traveled so far, yet it can still find us."

Master Jiu explained: "It didn't come after us from our village, but it's always been not far behind us. I use it to observe the surrounding water potential. If there is something strange, it can pass it to me. It's my training. A good help came out."

"So that's how it is." I suddenly realized, and still praised: "That's powerful enough. I always thought that mynah is a pet bird, so weak that it learns to talk to others to make fun of others. I didn't expect it to be trained like this."

Master Jiu laughed: "Li Yang, do you really think it is a starling?"

I was taken aback: "It...isn't it just a starling?"

Master Jiu shook his head: "Actually, it is a water crow, it should be a kind of crow, but it likes to live in areas with water. Besides, it just looks like a starling. In addition, it can also learn how to speak. , so everyone who sees it will think it is a starling. Later, I simply stopped explaining and named it Baye.”

"A crow that can... talk, this... this is incredible."

I stared at Baye on the canopy, dumbfounded.The third uncles all thought it was a mynah, but they seemed to be deceived by its appearance and ability to learn tongues.

And Ba Ye seemed to be enjoying this moment very much, pacing back and forth on the boat canopy proudly, staring at me with a kind of haughty eyes.

Jiu Ye said again: "Ba Ye is probably not an ordinary crow, it is just a species of Corvidae, I have consulted others, and they are not sure about its specific name, so I think it is a kind of water crow. It is said that crows are the smartest birds. This Baye is full of spirituality and can learn everything quickly. It can also make some very simple gadgets according to the environment. This skill is only available in some advanced mammals Yes. And it can talk, even better than starlings. Although I haven’t been out of the river for so many years, I have been training it, hoping to use water crows to explore the water, maybe it can help us this time.”

I nodded and said, "It turns out that you don't know its exact name. Master Jiu, if you want to know what kind of bird or crow it is, it's actually easy to handle. I'll find it for you when we finish our business. A tall man. I don't think there is any creature in the world that he doesn't know about."

"Really? That's a good thing. It can also rectify Ba Ye's name." Jiu Ye smiled and looked at Ba Ye on the boat canopy, his eyes were full of love.

The expert I mentioned is naturally Ma Di.Leaving this matter to the old horse is simply a piece of cake.

Master Jiu looked up at the sky for a while, it was covered with fog, and he didn't know what he could see.In short, he looked at it for a while and said: "I guess it will take at least half an hour, let's sit down and have a rest."

Saying that, Master Jiu also came to the stern from the cabin, took out the wine brought by the village, and poured me a bowl.

We sat in the stern, drinking and waiting for the moment to come.

When drinking on the shore, the feeling is not so obvious.When I got to the river, I drank a few more sips of wine, a faint fragrance of rice flowed through my mouth, and a warm current flowed from top to bottom, making my chest and abdomen warm and comfortable.

After drinking a bowl of wine, I asked about the thirteen ghost eyes.Because these thirteen ghost eyes, in the eyes of Master Jiu, are simply more terrifying than the Palace of the King of Hades.

While staring at the black mist in front of him, Master Jiu told me the ins and outs of the thirteen ghost eyes intermittently.

According to legend, when Dayu controlled the water, he mainly controlled the Yellow River.But at the same time, there were frequent floods in the Yangtze River, especially in the Jingjiang section, so Dayu sent his assistant Boyi to explore and manage it.

Hearing this, I interjected and asked, "Master Jiu, what you said are all legends, or is it true?"

Master Jiu smiled: "Believe it or not, and don't believe it or not. There are many historical events, which are all confirmed according to the ancient books left at that time. We are not the parties involved, so just listen to this matter. But Dayu is sure It is true that there was such a person, and his disciple Boyi also existed in history, and these are well documented. But it is said that Boyi was originally a descendant of the divine bird swallow in the sky. He understood the language of birds and beasts, He was also the inventor of digging traps and digging wells. That has yet to be verified."
