Standing by the river embankment.

Observing the river surface.

Fangzheng, who was mistaken for a fishing enthusiast.

Turning his head to look at the nearby villager.

That was a villager who was similar to a boatman. He must have been living on the river for generations. He bent down to tie cables to the boat and shouted to Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng felt a little moved, so he asked politely: "Uncle, why do you say that the river is not peaceful at night?"

In summer, the wind is a little cooler by the river.

The cool breeze blew.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers flowing through it, which is much cooler than the stuffy city with severe pollution from glass curtain walls.

After tying the rope, the villager got up and prepared to go home. He said to Fang Zheng with a serious voice: "As long as there is water, many people will definitely drown. I still have to have a little awe."

"I heard from people in my life that water and yin energy are heavy. Anyone who drowned in the water will be trapped by the yin water and cannot be reincarnated. Moreover, drowning people either die in vain or die injustice, and the resentment after death will be even greater. Therefore, since ancient times, it has been a saying that people who drowned, because of their heavy resentment, will pull people into the water to be scapegoats, and can only be reincarnated."

Fang Zheng stood by the river embankment, blew the slightly cold river breeze at dusk, and said with a smile: "If a person is reincarnated after his death, then I think these water ghosts will definitely not be reincarnated even if they really pull people into the water as scapegoats, so this folk rumor is definitely fake."

The villagers had approached at this time and asked curiously: "Why do you say that young people?"

"Because there are the King of Hell, the Book of Life and Death, the Miracle Platform, and the Naihe Bridge in the underworld. The evil people can't even pass the Naihe Bridge, let alone the second review of the Book of Life and Death behind. The King of Hell is finally reviewed." The sunset shone, and the square cheeks were painted with a golden glossy luster under the sunset, giving people a sense of immorality and unreality.

Uncle: "..."

"You young man is a little interesting. Even the second trial and final trial have come out."

"Young man, you'd better go back early. The river is indeed not peaceful at night."

"Uncle, you have always said that it is not peaceful. Has something happened in this river? Or, uncle, you have been living on a boat all year round, have you ever encountered something on this river?"

The uncle waved his hand and continued to walk home. Obviously, he didn't want to talk to Fang Zheng, a foreigner.

But no idea.

At this moment, a crying sound came, and a middle-aged rural woman, supported by several relatives, was crying with white silk on the edge of the river embankment, heartbroken.

"The Guo family is afraid that the rear will be cut off. If the person dies in the seventy-two gates of hell, how can he recover the body?" The village uncle looked at the rural woman who was heartbroken by the river, shook his head and said with some regret.

The biggest sting in life is that white-haired people give birth to black-haired people.

Fang Zheng heard this.

I feel there is a show here.

This uncle knew the rural woman, and it seemed that she was from the same village nearby.

"Uncle, I heard your words, do you know that poor mother? Are the seventy-two gates of hell referring to the river in front of us? Why do people who fall into the water and drown cannot recover their bodies?"

Fang Zheng asked half-truely, trying to ask more information from the villagers.

"Poor? Haha, if you are not greedy for money, this person will not be gone and will not be implicated by others."

The villagers' tone suddenly changed and became a little disdainful.

Perhaps it was because of this incident that I had been suppressing my heart for a long time and could not talk to my fellow villagers. I was afraid of destroying neighborhood relations. As soon as the villagers opened up, they told Fang Zheng, a foreigner, about the general cause and consequences.

It turned out that the village woman who gave the black hair was indeed from the same village as the village uncle.

Then the Guo family did not drowned for no reason.

It is death from greed for money.

Some time ago, an entrepreneur's son was taking a boat trip upstream, but the boat seemed to have hit a reef, but it hit something in the river. He accidentally capsized the boat and died a lot of people. Some of the bodies were salvaged, and some of them could not be found.

If the corpse cannot be found upstream, the corpse must have been washed downstream.

These include the entrepreneur's son.

The entrepreneur had a lot of assets. Later, he mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources. He spent several days and nights, but he could not find the body downstream. So some people speculated that the body would drift from the upstream into the seventy-two gates of the complex mountain ascites, stuck in a crack in the rocks of the mountain waterway and did not rush into the downstream?

Where is the Seventy-Two Gate of Ghost?

The local villagers know the most.

It was a forbidden area where there were ancestral teachings since childhood and no one could step into it. That place was too dangerous. It is said that there were large ancient tombs buried, and there were only three results for those who entered it.

Either get lost or be confused.

The worst outcome is that you will never be able to get out of your life. It is natural to imagine whether this person is alive or dead.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that the villagers who have lived by the river for generations never enter the seventy-two gates of hell, and that place is so evil.

According to the villagers, the older generation said that in the war era, a large number of corpses floated down the upstream, all of which were stranded in the winding and complex mountain ascites. No corpse floated out, and the dirt was particularly fierce.

The entrepreneur did not listen to the villagers' advice and insisted on sending professional divers into seventy-two gates of hell to catch corpses.

As a result, the last few times were futile.

According to the divers who came back, they had to enter seventy-two gates of hell when they dived. As a result, the waterways in the abdomen of the mountain were complex, the environment was harsh, the water flow was very turbulent, and there were many undercurrents and whirlpools. People could not see things clearly and soon lost their direction.

If it weren't for the ropes on the boat, they would probably not have even found their way back.

The water was not good enough, so the entrepreneur found many nearby ships and entered seventy-two gates of hell. As a result, as soon as these ships entered, they immediately lost their direction. The waterways in the belly of the mountain were complex and the water flow was turbulent. The fleet was quickly dispersed and each was brought into different waterways by turbulent undercurrents.

After suffering a lot, the ships did not come out until a few days later.

Ask them how they got out?

All are just asking questions and not knowing.

I only know that they have been moving in the mountain ascites waterway. The mountain waterways are winding around so that they can't find the sense of direction at all, and finally they came out inexplicably.

"Young man, tell me, are these seventy-two evil gates at the gate of ghosts? In those connected caves, the sun cannot shine in all year round and the yin energy is heavy. Whether you go in during the day or at night, people are like being fascinated by ghosts, hitting a wall by ghosts, completely lost their direction, and finally come out in a daze." The village uncle said with lingering fear.

Fang Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

"It's indeed a bit weird."

Fang Zheng looked up at the distance of the river, where mountains were lined with mountains and various ridges were curved like snakes, rising and falling one after another, with lush shrubs on the mountain and green trees covering the sun.

And among those mountains, countless water caves are everywhere, and the terrain is complex.

"Then did the entrepreneur salvage his son's body later?"

"Is the death of the Guo family related to salvage the body of the entrepreneur's son?"

Fang Zheng withdrew his gaze, looked at the village uncle beside him, and asked curiously.
