Mysterious recovery

"I know a little bit, but I don't know how this kind of banknotes came from. I only know that paper money has some special uses, and the larger the denomination, the rarer it is. Generally speaking, banknotes are divided into three yuan, four yuan, seven yuan, and three yuan. Different denominations. Seven yuan is already the largest denomination, and there are very few of them in existence now." Liu San said.

"Under certain circumstances, it is necessary to have this kind of money. If not, this ship will not be able to carry us to Ghost Lake just like now."

As Liu San said, he jumped onto the boat: "Lend me the money."

Yang Jian frowned, but still handed him the seven-yuan note.

After Liu San took the money, he immediately stretched out the paper money to the oil lamp on the bow and lit it.

The paper money immediately burned.

The paper ashes scattered, and a cold wind blew up around it. The wind condensed and lingered, forming a vortex that rolled up the paper ashes.

The air was filled with the smell of paper ashes, but everything dissipated quickly, and all the paper ashes disappeared, and it was blown somewhere.

The old black wooden boat was slowly rippling at this moment.

The boat left the ferry and drifted slowly downstream.

"The boat moved."

Li Jun's expression froze: "Sure enough, it's the same as what Liu San said, you have to pay for the boat ride."

"Yang Jian, return it to you." After Liu San finished speaking, he handed the paper money back to Yang Jian.

The paper money was a big circle smaller, because that circle was burned by Liu Sandian.

But the remaining paper money, which was one size smaller, changed its appearance.

It is no longer seven yuan, but three yuan.

It was exactly the same as the three-yuan paper money that Yang Jian got at the mask booth before.

"Seven yuan changed to three yuan, does it mean that four yuan was spent? But the five of us spent four yuan, which is a bit unacceptable."

Yang Jian didn't mind paying the boat fare, he glanced at the others, feeling a little strange about this change.

"Not everyone needs to pay the fare. The ship cannot ask the ghost for the fare. Maybe one of the five of us is judged to be a ghost." Liu San said.

"Who was judged to be a ghost?"

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, he looked at Li Jun and Liu San, and then at Shen Lin.

The captain-level characters are all different types, and it is possible for anyone to be judged as a ghost.

"I don't know." Liu San said.

No one knows who is the ghost among the five people.

"Since the boat is moving, don't worry about it." Li Jun said: "You should be vigilant now, there are too many weird things here."

Everyone stopped talking and put aside this weird topic.

The boat swam down, fluttering.

But the people on board didn't feel the slightest shaking, instead they were very stable.

And as the boat left the ferry, several people found that the river surface was surrounded by thick fog, and the surrounding buildings were faintly visible. The strangest thing was that the outlines of some buildings were not from Taiping Ancient Town at all.

The surrounding things gradually became strange.

Even the creek began to widen beyond anything it had seen before.

This change does not happen suddenly, but slowly as the boat wanders.

Only ten minutes.

Everyone found themselves in a strange, strange river.

This is no longer reality.

Chapter 65 Stories and New Customers

Four captains plus Ah Hong, a total of five people, stood on the black boat and drifted along the road.

A mist appeared on the surface of the river, covering the surroundings, making it difficult for people to see the scene of the river bank.

But everyone discovered that this place was no longer in Taiping Ancient Town, nor was it on the river leading to Zhongzhou City, but drifted to an unknown spiritual place without knowing it.

The ferry in Taiping Ancient Town is just a connection point.

The ship will dock at a specific time and a specific place. Once the time and place are missed, no one can find the ship, and if there is no specific paper money, even ordinary people who get on the ship by mistake to no avail.

The seemingly simple conditions are actually very difficult to achieve.

But a group of five people met all the requirements inexplicably.

Shen Lin knew the right time and the right place, Yang Jian held the seven-yuan paper money, and Liu San knew how to use the paper money.

It has to be said that the cooperation of several captains can indeed settle many things. Their intelligence capabilities and some supernatural items in their hands are too rich, and they can deal with things that happen in various situations.

"Based on the time and distance, we should have arrived in Zhongzhou City at this moment, but if you look around, there is no trace of reality at all. There is no doubt that we have entered a supernatural place on this ferry. It's the same as the supernatural bus back then."

Yang Jian stood at the bow of the boat, peering with ghostly eyes.

The mist is not fog, but a supernatural phenomenon, and the surrounding things are distorted, which is very similar to the path leading to the ghost post office.

"As long as there is no danger, it doesn't matter what his situation is, I just hope that he can reach the destination smoothly."

Li Jun didn't care about these mysterious things, he only had tasks and goals in his eyes.

Ah Hong sat on the wooden boat, she stared at the river.

I don't know if it's because of the lack of light, or the place itself is very special.

The river was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was under the river, only the oil lamp on the bow was flickering, adding a faint light to the originally dark river.

Curious in her heart, she stretched out her hand and stroked the river gently with her fingers.

But when Ah Hong withdrew her fingers, she found that her fingers were not wet at all, there was no water stain at all, and she only felt a kind of extraordinarily cold.

It was like passing through a cloud of solid air-conditioning.

"Not the river."

Ah Hong's heart shivered, and she said casually: "Do you think of anything in this scene, the black ferry, the river leading to the land of spirits, and the special fare..."

"What do you want to say?" Liu San said.

Standing at the stern of the boat, Shen Lin said, "You want to talk about folklore, right? This scene is indeed like a story. Legend has it that there is a river leading to hell and darkness, named Wangchuan River, and the river below Wangchuan River is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts." , It’s hard for a living person to get through, but there is another legend that there is a small boat on the Wangchuan River, which is specially used to transport the lonely ghosts who cannot cross the river to the other side of the river.”

"And the person who drives the boat is the ferryman. Some people say that there are Bianhua flowers growing on the banks of the Wangchuan River. They are as bright red as blood. They are so beautiful that they can sink people."

"The legend may be exaggerated and beautified, but there may also be a comparison, which cannot be fabricated out of thin air." Ah Hong said.

"maybe."

Shen Lindao: "If there is hell, maybe the world we live in is hell. The spirits are revived, and the ghosts are rampant. What is this if it is not hell? The ghost masters die one by one, and the captains struggle to survive one by one. The lives of ordinary people are fragile. It's the same as ants, and this thing doesn't know when it will end."

"No matter how cruel it is, we can't give up hope."

Li Jun shouted, interrupting the conversation between the two to avoid affecting morale.

Hearing what Ah Hong and Shen Lin said, Yang Jian couldn't help but think of what that sister Hong said to him before.

Ghost stories may be more than just stories.

Then legends are not just legends.

My heart suddenly trembled.

Now that I think about it, what Sister Hong said was correct. After a few years, when the supernatural incident subsides and the story of my own handling of the supernatural incident is passed down, will there be another beautified version?

Probably will.

Cruel truths need to be buried, and stories of justice that must prevail must be told.

Only living ignorantly can feel the beauty of hypocrisy.

Knowing the truth and crushing illusions, people will only live in pain.

The headquarters has been concealing supernatural events, so maybe it is building this illusory beauty.

After all, for the vast majority of ordinary people, knowing the truth is not a good thing, but a bad thing. False happiness is also happiness for them, which is better than worrying and being afraid all day long.

"Wait, something is wrong, the boat is sailing towards the shore." Liu San noticed the clue and said immediately.

now.

The boat changed its direction, instead of floating in the middle of the river, it went against common sense and gradually moved closer to the shore.

The lights on the prow flickered and the mist cleared.

There is actually a ferry on the shore.

The ferry was made of wood and was very dilapidated. At the other end of the ferry was a small road, which stretched to the end of the darkness, and it was impossible to know what was there.

"The second ferry? Could it be the same as the supernatural bus, with a stop?" Yang Jian frowned.

"Maybe there will be other people on the boat." Liu San said.

Shen Lin added: "Perhaps the boat is not necessarily a human being."

But discussion is discussion.

The boat is still docked.

The surface of the river was rippling and rippled, but there was no one around the ferry.

"Can Yang Jian see the situation over there?"

Li Jun asked, his will-o'-the-wisp was burning, and he couldn't light the way ahead.

Yang Jiandao: "I can see clearly, a dirt road stretches to the end of the darkness, there is no one on the road, but I seem to see a few old graves on the side of the road, and there seems to be a village in the distance, but it is too far away to see clearly .”

His ghostly sight was not disturbed too much.

An abandoned village at the end of the line of sight.

It was dead and empty.

This ferry is for that village.

"It should only be docked temporarily. As long as no one is on board, the ship will continue to move." Shen Lin said.

"It seems that things are not so simple."

Liu San frowned suddenly, and picked up a piece of unburned paper money from the corner of the bow.

There was still fire on the paper money.

Unable to extinguish, the embers quickly consumed the last corner.

There was a smell of paper ashes in the air.

"Someone has already boarded the boat and paid for it. This is not the paper money we burned before, it just appeared."

"You can't make jokes at this time, there are only five of us, there are no other people, and if someone boards the boat, can we not see it?" Li Jun said seriously.

He kept staring around.

Even if he is blind, it doesn't make sense that the other four are also blind.

"I don't know, this matter is incomprehensible. I'm sure that someone must have boarded the boat, but I didn't see anyone." Liu San said, "Paper money is the best proof."

Yang Jian's ghost eyes opened several times again.

He stared at every corner of the boat.

However, it was true that nothing was found, and no one boarded the ship.

But the unburned piece of paper money that Liu San saw just now came suddenly and strangely.

"From the corner of the paper money just now, it can be judged that what was burned was a three-yuan banknote, which means that at most three people boarded the boat with us just now." Yang Jian said.

"But I didn't see anyone at all." Ah Hong said.

Shen Lin smiled slightly; "The boat we saw may not be the same boat as the people on the ferry. We were in the same position and encountered two different boats. This can explain why some people boarded the boat. We don't know anymore."

"But the lamp is the same lamp." Yang Jian looked at the oil lamp and said.

"It seems that our profession is in danger. I hope we don't have too many intersections with that pedestrian." Shen Lin said.

Li Jundao: "The action cannot be delayed. Even if the ghost dares to show up on the boat, we must kill it mercilessly. There is nothing wrong with our joint efforts."

"That's right, the captain teamed up, nothing is unfair." Shen Lin smiled, liking Li Jun's self-confidence.
