Chu Hao and others got on the boat, and the middle-aged man said: "You...you should also want to go to the depths of Thousand Blades Peak, right?"

"How do you know?" Chu Hao asked in surprise.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Over the years, there are always some people who want to enter the depths of Thousand Blades Peak. Some people rent boats, and some pay people to send them in."

Chu Hao said in slight surprise: "You know we are going in, but you are still willing to send us away? Aren't you afraid of danger?"

The middle-aged man said: "This is a very strange thing. Many people in our village were invited to send them into the depths of Thousand Blades Peak, and then in a few days, their boats would float back with them.

"

"Come back?" Lu Bufan asked in surprise.

"Yes!" the middle-aged man said: "And they can't recall anything that happened inside. And the people who paid them...are missing forever."

"So evil?" Tao Yuan asked with interest.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, he became even more excited.

"Yes!" the middle-aged man said: "No outsider can come out, so I'm not worried, but everyone..."

Chu Hao smiled and said: "Just follow us, let us row a boat!"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "You saved my child's life, but I didn't pay anything. I feel very sorry. You guys sit tight!"

After saying that, he moved the paddle, and the boat slowly left the shore and headed towards the middle of the river!

The river is about fifty meters wide, and the entire river is very calm, like a mirror. Only by placing your hand underneath can you feel the flow of the water.

Chu Hao looked to both sides and then into the distance, feeling relaxed and happy.

"The scenery here is so beautiful, but it is not developed into a scenic spot. It is really a waste." Su Nian said.

"I can't blame the government for this matter." The middle-aged man said: "In fact, the tourist area at the beginning was planned for our side, and it was even mainly based on our side."

"Then why didn't it develop later?" Lu Bufan asked in surprise.

"Later..." the middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "I heard something, but I don't know whether it is true or not. It is said that when we were doing development, we started construction by the river and wanted to build some buildings, but the day after the construction started... the construction started

The place was filled in."

"Everyone was very superstitious at that time. People here said that there were immortals living in Thousand Blades Peak. These were the immortals of Thousand Blades Peak. Development was not allowed here."

"Then many villagers objected at that time. The economy at that time was not as good as it is now, so we finally chose Guixian. Guixian was booming, and here..." The middle-aged man said this with a smile on his face.

A hint of bitterness.

It turns out there is another reason.

At this time, the morning sun was rising, the surrounding scenery was beautiful, and several people felt a little relaxed.

They kept chatting, and Chu Hao also learned the name of this middle-aged man. His name was Zheng Guoqiang, a very contemporary name.

"By the way, Uncle Zheng!" After the boat moved forward for a while, Chu Hao asked: "When did those two people come to you to buy a boat yesterday?"

"It was around five or six o'clock last night!" Zheng Guoqiang asked: "Do you know them?"

Chu Hao nodded and said, "I should know him, but I can't confirm it without seeing him."

"Oh!" Zheng Guoqiang nodded.

He is not a talkative person. Most of the time, Chu Hao and the others ask a question, and then he answers.

Chu Hao asked again: "Does Uncle Zheng know Mu Qinghan?"

"Of course I know her!" Zheng Guoqiang nodded and said, "She stayed at our house for two days! But this child is a bit strange. She floated down the river from Thousand Blades Peak, and we took her in for a few days.

, several of the ducks raised at home died of illness.”

Then he told Mu Qinghan's story again, which was not much different from what the proprietress of the hotel in Yujiagou told him before.

After he finished speaking, he said: "After she graduated from college, she was pretty good, but she didn't have a good eye for men. She found a boyfriend who had tattoos on his face. He looked like a gangster at first glance."

Chu Hao looked at Tao Yuan, and Tao Yuan nodded, indicating that this person was his junior brother.

Zheng Guoqiang said: "By the way, probably the night before yesterday, I came back late from fishing, and I saw her and her boyfriend rowing towards Thousand Blades Peak. Young people are quite romantic."

Su Nian quickly asked: "Then have you seen anyone else, such as a very beautiful girl in her early twenties!"

Zheng Guoqiang shook his head blankly and said, "I've never seen this before."

After hearing his words, Su Nian's eyebrows showed a hint of disappointment.

The ship was not moving very fast. After a while, Chu Hao looked at the sweaty Zheng Guoqiang. He smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Zheng, let me do it!"

Zheng Guoqiang was indeed a little tired, so he didn't say much.

Chu Hao took the oar and began to rock it, and the speed of the boat became much faster.

Zheng Guoqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, then lowered his body, scooped up river water and washed his face.

The ship traveled for three or four hours, with the scorching sun in the sky, but there was a thin layer of mist around them.

Zheng Guoqiang said quickly: "Now we have entered the depths of the Thousand Blades Peak. The Thousand Blades Peak covers a huge area and has a river. The deeper you go, the deeper the mist becomes. When you reach the back, you can almost not see it.

With five fingers, I can’t tell the direction at all.”

Chu Hao's heart moved slightly. He looked at Tao Yuan and said, "Tao Yuan, come and slide."

Tao Yuan took the oar and continued to slide, while Chu Hao nodded to Lu Bufan.

Lu Bufan understood what he was doing and tapped Zheng Guoqiang's neck lightly. Zheng Guoqiang's body tilted and he passed out.

Lu Bufan laid the man down flat.

"Senior, you should know Mu Qiu, right?" Chu Hao asked.

"We know you!" Lu Bufan nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mu Qiu lives in Thousand Blades Peak. You seem to have never been here?" Chu Hao asked.

"Mu Qiu doesn't allow people to come here. He will fall out with anyone who comes." Lu Bufan said: "When he said there were immortals here, I thought of Mu Qiu and his family."

Chu Hao frowned. If Lu Bufan knew how to find Mu Qiu, maybe everything would be much simpler.

Chu Hao could also confirm whether Mu Qiu and the man who ran the guest house in Jiangcheng were the same person.

But now that Lu Bufan can't be found, they have to explore on their own!

He turned it over with one hand, and two volumes of drawings appeared in his hand.
