Chapter 108 The Corpse Holds the Ship

The old man was very high-spirited at first, but now he lost all blood in fright, and kept saying in his mouth: "Too many people died in this river, and their resentment was heavy. People who died in the water You can’t reincarnate, you can only go to the underworld if you find a substitute, and it’s just July, and the yin energy is even worse during this time, so those things come out, it’s over, it’s over now, we’re all going to die here.”

I didn't expect that the river god that the old man was talking about was actually those ghosts who died in the water.

But people who are on the go believe in these things more, and they are more taboo.

It's the same reason that the mountain hunters are in the mountains again, and the ghosts who died in the mountains are called great immortals. It should be taboo to use the word ghost.

The old man turned pale with fright.

And he, who was rowing the boat, dropped his oar and said to me, "Stay still."

As he said that, he actually lay down on the edge of the boat and looked under the water. He was looking around the boat, but the fog on the river was very thick and thick.

Walking around the boat, I don't know if he saw anything.

I saw that he seemed to be thinking about something, so I asked, "Do you see anything?"

He looked up at me with strange eyes. After a while, he said something that he didn't quite believe.

"I saw a standing and walking person in the water!" Maybe he didn't see it clearly, because when he was talking, he was a little uncertain.

I had a chug in my heart, but then I thought it was impossible.

The density of the human body is similar to that of water, and the body is relatively heavy. After entering the water, the corpse will sink to the bottom of the river, but as the corpse decays, the body will bloat, and it will slowly rise to the surface of the water.

After the body swells, it will become hideous and have everted lips.

But no matter what, a corpse under water can face up or lie down, float on the water or sink to the bottom, except that it is impossible to stand in the water.

But if you want to see what it is, I'm afraid you have to go down to the river to find out.

"It's useless, it's useless, no one has ever escaped from the hands of the river god!" The old man's pupils had become dead silent, and he lost all energy.

I can't swim, and even if I can swim, if I go into the water at this time, if there is really a water ghost underneath.

I'm afraid it will wait for the boat to launch, and then drag people into the water and drown.

This old man has been sailing for half his life. I don't believe this is the first time he has encountered such a thing. Seeing him so frightened that he was unconscious, I said loudly: "You have nothing to do? Even if you haven't encountered it, you should have heard of it. What to do."

When I yelled like this, the old man reacted a bit. He raised his head and looked at me, his eyes rolled around twice.

He struggled to get up from the boat deck, went into the boat shed, and took out incense sticks and candles from the plastic bag hanging on it.

Turning around and knelt down on the board, I saw that his whole back was shaking, and he fired the fire several times in a row, but it didn't even ignite.

After trying several times, I finally lit the joss stick, and kowtowed while muttering: "Dear river gods, I have prepared tributes for you in advance, let's spend them, we are hard-fated people who walk in water, our daughter-in-law has She is sick and expects me to go back to see a doctor for her, don't blame me, gentlemen, so don't embarrass me."

The old man burned some paper on the board of the boat, but it didn't help, because the boat was still fixed on the water, as if something under the water refused to let go.

"Is there a water ghost under the river?"

I frowned, and saw that the old man burned paper and kowtowed for a long time, but the boat was still the same, and it seemed that there was something he didn't buy.

If this is the ghost of the water ghost, I am actually not very afraid in my heart.

What scares me now is that there's something else under the water, and I'm afraid that something will happen to the boat, if it falls into the water, it's over.

The ghost word I mentioned seemed to be a taboo, and the old man's shoulders kept shaking in fright. He glanced at me and told me not to speak.

"God of the river! Just say what you want!" The old man was in a dilemma, knelt on the boat board and kowtowed into the water. Generally speaking, if it is a ghost in the water who wants to buy road money, he will leave after receiving the paper money offering. If you still insist on refusing to let the ship leave, then there must be other requirements.

The old man kowtowed and said, "Whatever you want, we will do our best. The people on board are all guests, so don't harm them."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly rose up out of thin air in a place as big as a palm, blowing all the paper ashes that the old man burned on the boat board into the river.

When I saw it, my heart was half cold.

The cloth bag I was carrying had already been taken off, and I took out a few talismans, showing a vigilant look, fearing that something would suddenly come out of the water.

"look!"

Suddenly, Chu Yuan, who was standing on the oars, looked at the water surface at the bow of the boat with raised eyebrows.

I quickly followed his line of sight, and saw a particularly strange scene. The monster that just rose from the bow of the boat blew all the ashes of the paper money burned by the old man into the river.

At this moment, the surface of the river was rippling, and the ashes of paper slowly condensed into a word while floating in the water.

The old man climbed to the side of the boat in a panic to have a look, then turned to us and said, "That's a letter."

"What does it mean?"

I looked at the tape that appeared on the surface of the water, and I was at a loss.

The old man didn't seem to understand it at first, but after a while, his old face collapsed, making him uglier than eating a fly.

"I know what you saw just now." The old man gave him a terrified look, and said tremblingly, "We didn't meet the river god looking for a substitute, this is a corpse hugging boat. The underwater river god, is You want us to take him with you!"

It would be better if it was a ghost, but the old man said that the underwater corpse was making fun of it, and he wanted to get on the boat and go with him.

My scalp exploded.

What is a Corpse Hug Boat.

In fact, according to what the old man said, the dead body in the water turned into a monster because of resentment and unwillingness.

It would be fine if it was an ordinary floating corpse, but this kind of corpse standing in the water is more annoying than a ghost.

Generally speaking, people who die in the river will float up by themselves within three to five days.

But some corpses can't, not only can't, but they also stand in the water like a human being. Once a corpse is standing upright in the water, there is only a touch of hair floating on the water.

This kind of upright floating corpse is not an ordinary corpse, it is a kind of evil, very evil.

Not only that, these upright corpses will always stand upright in the water, and they will slowly move forward with the water waves, as if walking slowly, extremely terrifying!
What's even more frightening is that when the upright body came out, it looked like it had just died.

After the river bed dries up, you can still see clear footprints, walking to the deepest step by step, it's creepy to think about it.

I didn't expect to encounter such a terrible thing when I first came here.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be boarded.

It is estimated that even if they get on the boat, they will let us die, and they will not let us go at all.

"What to do, what to do." The old man was a little embarrassed, and said to us: "If you mess with the God of the River, we won't be able to leave."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, there was a sudden violent rollover on the bow of the boat, and a large mess of things emerged from the bottom of the water. They were all messy debris, and there were some dead fish, mixed with a few falling into the water drowned people.
