Chapter 386 Red String Face-to-Face Kill
When Lao Zheng and the others heard this from afar, their faces turned green.
The young boatman asked tremblingly, "Uncle Zheng, is there... someone on this boat?"
Old Zheng swallowed.
"Don't ask."
"I don't want to know even if you ask."
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the hull of the black ship.
A pale, swollen hand emerged from the gap.
Then came the second one.
The third one.
The fourth one.
The densely packed hands clung to the ship's deck, like drowning ghosts trapped inside, desperately trying to crawl out.
Mo Chengyue's eyes narrowed slightly.
"really."
The woman in the wedding dress looked at him with resentment.
"So what if you know?"
"They've already boarded the ship."
"Once you're on board, you're mine."
Mo Chengyue glanced at those swollen hands.
Some of them still had the hemp ropes commonly used by the ferrymen of Red Maple Forest tied around their wrists.
Some of their knuckles are rough, clearly calluses left from years of pole-punting.
There was also a hand with half a blackened bamboo skewer between its fingers.
It looks like something a storyteller would use to bang on a wooden box.
Mo Chengyue felt a slight heaviness in his chest.
But there was no change in his face.
"Your method is quite convenient."
"When a person goes missing, their body isn't sunk in the river; it's used directly as a nail for the boat."
The woman in the wedding dress grinned.
"They boarded the ship willingly."
"Someone wants to get rich."
"Someone wants to see his deceased wife."
"Someone wants to hear an old tune."
"I was just seeing them off."
Mo Chengyue said calmly, "Send it to the bottom of the ship?"
The woman in the wedding dress froze with a smile.
Yu Lin Hong Hun Nian said, "You see very clearly."
"This ship uses living souls as oars and vengeful corpses as anchors, sailing amidst the mist."
"If you were in the river, you couldn't break it."
Mo Chengyue nodded.
"So I dragged it up."
Yu Lin Hong's voice carried a hint of coldness.
"You think you can destroy it just by going ashore?"
Mo Chengyue looked down at the shallows.
After the Red Sun Powder was added to the water, wisps of pale golden heat began to rise from the originally wet and black mud.
This thing isn't considered valuable.
But it is specifically effective against damp and evil spirits.
Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious.
It's expensive if you use too much.
Mo Chengyue felt very sorry for him.
"Whether it can be destroyed or not, we'll have to try."
"Anyway, the materials have already been spilled."
"It would be a greater loss if we didn't finish it."
After he finished speaking, three thunder talismans flew out from his sleeve.
The thunder talisman was pasted on the crack in the bottom of the ship. As soon as the talisman was pasted, it was immediately soaked black by the dark water.
The woman in the wedding dress suddenly changed her expression.
"You dare!"
Mo Chengyue raised his hand and formed a hand seal without hesitation.
"Lei Lai."
boom!
Three bolts of lightning exploded simultaneously.
The bottom of the black ship was blown apart, with wood chips flying everywhere.
A heart-wrenching wail came from inside the cabin.
The outstretched pale hands thrashed about wildly, but as if burned by lightning, they all retreated back into the seams of the ship.
The red wedding dress on the woman suddenly bulged.
Two streaks of water splattered from the wet cuffs.
The water line transformed into a long, thin red rope in mid-air, wrapping around Mo Chengyue's neck.
Mo Chengyue stumbled.
The Heavenly Dragon Steps unfold.
She felt as if she had been pushed by the wind, and narrowly slipped between the two red ropes.
The red rope brushed past his shoulder and landed on a blue stone on the shore.
The bluestone turned black instantly.
A pained face emerged from the surface.
Mo Chengyue's eyelids twitched at the sight.
"Does touching this thing cause mental pollution?"
"Negative review."
The woman in the wedding dress spreads her ten fingers.
More red ropes flew out from her sleeves.
Like a clump of blood-soaked water plants, it swept over Mo Chengyue like a tidal wave.
"Go ahead and hide!"
"Let's see how long you can hide!"
As Mo Chengyue retreated, he flung out battle flags.
The miniature Sumeru Vajra Array unfolds in front of you.
As soon as the golden barrier was completed, more than a dozen red ropes were tied to it.
Bang bang bang!
Golden light reverberated continuously.
The battle flags were bent from being pulled.
Mo Chengyue's expression changed slightly.
"He's quite strong."
"Was he a boatman when he was alive?"
The woman in the wedding dress was driven even more insane by his words.
"Shut up!"
She suddenly lowered her body, almost pressing her entire body against the bow of the boat.
The red light shone on her back.
A woman's face slowly rose up from behind her.
The face had its eyes closed, with a frost-leaf mark between its brows.
Mo Chengyue's pupils contracted.
Yu Lin Hong.
wrong.
It's not Yu Lin Hong herself.
It was the second soul nail she left inside the body of the Bridal Gown Demoness.
"I knew it."
"The old hag never takes more than one key with her when she goes out."
Yu Lin, the red spirit within the red light, said calmly, "You're too clever."
"Intelligent people usually don't live long."
Mo Chengyue said sincerely, "Senior, you misunderstand."
"I'm usually pretty stupid."
"The main reason is that your schemes are too easily recognizable."
Yu Lin Hong stopped laughing.
The frost-covered face behind the woman in the wedding dress suddenly opened its eyes.
A chilling, grayish-white aura emanated from the bow of the ship.
The heat that had just been stirred up by the red sun powder on the shallows was instantly extinguished by most of it.
The black ship's hull creaked loudly.
The nailed hull was being forcibly pulled out of the array.
Mo Chengyue's heart tightened.
"Yu Lin Hong has made a move?"
"No."
"She merely used the body of the evil spirit to manipulate the soul nail."
"But it's already troublesome enough."
With a crack, a thin crack appeared on the array plate.
Mo Chengyue glanced down.
His face immediately turned somber.
"Senior Brother Zhao is not here."
"This time, we don't even have anyone to claim reimbursement from."
Under the red light, Yu Lin said, "You can't hold on."
The black ship's hull rose again.
The first spike was pulled out half an inch.
The iron rings on the shore twisted as a result.
Mo Chengyue narrowed his eyes.
He did not continue to pour true essence into the array plate.
Instead, he took a half step back and raised his hand to pat a concealing talisman on his chest.
The flow of Qi suddenly ceased.
Yu Lin Hong paused slightly.
"You want to run away?"
The woman in the wedding dress laughed sternly.
"It's too late to leave now!"
Mo Chengyue looked up at the red light.
"senior."
"Have you forgotten something?"
Yu Lin Hong did not answer.
Mo Chengyue pointed to the shallows at his feet.
"This is the ferry crossing."
"Once the boat is ashore, I'm the only one who can touch it."
"You can touch it even on the shore."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly stomped his foot.
The array patterns that he had previously pinned into the shore veins suddenly lit up.
Jin Guang did not press the black ship down.
Instead, it disappeared into the underground of the ferry crossing in the opposite direction.
The next moment, a deep bell rang out from the direction of the Earth God Temple.
Boom!
Old Zheng and the others were so frightened that they all turned around.
Inside the dilapidated earth god temple, the eyes of the clay earth god statue suddenly shone with a dim yellow light.
The young boatman's voice cracked.
"Uncle Zheng!"
"The Earth God has appeared!"
Old Zheng was dumbfounded.
"I...I knew I couldn't skip offering incense on a regular basis!"
Mo Chengyue's lips twitched.
It wasn't actually the local earth god appearing.
He had casually slipped three talismans to suppress evil spirits under the incense burner when he passed by the local earth god temple, and then used the incense in the temple to create a small incense burner.
Ordinary people do not have strong incense offerings.
But for a ghost ship that relies on water mist and evil spirits for cover, it's disgusting enough.
The dim, yellowish light spread along the old road at the ferry crossing.
One by one, the old, dilapidated lanterns spontaneously combusted without a flame.
In the houses on both sides of Hongfeng Ferry, the people who had been hiding peeked out in fear.
"The lights are on!"
"Why did the ferry lights turn on by themselves?"
"Are there immortal masters battling demons?"
"Don't go out! Close the windows!"
An old woman, holding her grandson, hid behind the door, murmuring in a trembling voice.
"May the Earth God protect us, may the Earth God protect us..."
These faint human voices mingled with the smell of incense, like a thin layer of human smoke pressing down on the shallows.
The black ship suddenly sank.
The spikes that had just been pulled out were pushed back in.
The woman in the wedding dress let out a scream.
The dim light scorched the red wedding dress she wore, leaving it smoky black marks.
Yu Lin's red soul finally cooled down.
"You're borrowing incense offerings from mortals?"
Mo Chengyue said, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
"Since we've come all this way, we can't just pay our respects to the land for nothing."
Yu Lin Hong asked, "Aren't you afraid of implicating them?"
Mo Chengyue's eyes turned slightly cold.
"The way you're saying that, senior, makes it sound like I dragged the missing person onto the boat."
