Zhu Xiaoyu asked: "Brother, do you understand? If you understand, we can set off."

I nodded and said: "Okay!"

Although I don't understand the situation in the Blackwater Castle, I can't just stay in the Blackwater Castle. I have to walk the road before I know peace or injustice.

If you don't leave, you will never get out.

Taoist Master Shi Fei took us for a distance along the underground of Blackwater Castle and came to an underground pier. "This is the exit of Blackwater Castle. You can only go forward by boat."

"The real road to life and death leading to the Shenyang River lies underground. Before reaching the Shenyang River, we can only walk a section of the road that is not visible from the light of day."

Zhu Xiaoyu pointed to the large ship in the distance and said: "Go and check whether that ship can be used? If not, transfer the ship from outside as soon as possible."

When the golden spy led people to the direction of the warship, I squatted down on the pier, reached under the pier and touched twice, and soon grabbed an iron chain sunk in the water.

When I lifted it up with my hands, a series of iron cages were lifted up together with the iron chains.

When I saw clearly the mutilated heads in the iron cage, I couldn't help but say: "Now we're in trouble!"

Zhu Xiaoyu's face also became extremely ugly, and his words were not so polite: "Old Taoist, why didn't you say that the dock requires a blood sacrifice?"

The heads under the iron chains were clearly chopped off and sacrificed to the river.

In the art of magic, river worship is not a rare thing. When encountering a river infested by ghosts, warlocks usually choose to sacrifice the river in order to pass smoothly.

However, killing people and offering sacrifices to rivers is very rare, and it is also a way to quench thirst by drinking poison.

Once the ghosts in the river are tricked, the number of sacrifices they ask for will increase, and the ghosts in the river will become more and more terrifying.

The Road of Exile has been abandoned for many years. Who knows how many people had to be killed in order to successfully pass through the Blackwater Castle in the beginning.

After Taoist Master Shi Fei walked over and took a look, his face became extremely ugly: "This... I don't know, there is a river sacrifice here!"

"At the beginning, maybe the defenders of Blackwater Castle used other prisoners to sacrifice the river!"

"Then let's..."

I pulled up all the iron ropes. There were nine cages on one iron rope, which meant that we had to kill nine people before we could cross the river.

When Zhu Xiaoyu looked back at her disciples, no one said anything, as if they were waiting for fate.

Gui Kui came up and said: "Commander, how about we choose someone to kill? Nine people are not many, let's draw a few from a group..."

"Shut up!" Zhu Xiaoyu slapped Guikui in the face and silenced him.

Zhu Xiaoyu knew very well that if she wanted to kill someone to sacrifice the river, we, the Liangjie Hall, would never leave anyone. If we were in a hurry, I could make more people die on their side.

Zhu Xiaoyu said sternly: "Those who are going out today are all comrades who can live and die together. If anyone dares to mention the matter of offering sacrifices to the river again, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."

Gui Kui didn't dare to say anything, but Zhu Xiaoyu looked at me and said, "Brother, how do you deal with this situation?"

I stretched out my hand to scoop up the river water, smelled it and said, "Then we have to see whether the boat is strong or not."

The golden spy also rushed back at this time: "Commander, that boat is usable, but it is a ghost ship with a coffin inside. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that we won't be able to get off if we get in."

Ye Yang said in a deep voice: "Is that a ship grave or a ship coffin?"

For those who make a living on the water, the boat is their home when they are alive, and their coffin after they die.

The family put them in the boat they had lived in all their lives, pushed them off the shore, and let them drift. When the boat sank naturally, the boat and the people were completely finished.

People who travel all year round have to burn incense, burn paper, and even kneel on the boat and kowtow when they see a boat with sails rolled up and cabins sealed, for fear of offending the people in the boat.

This kind of ghost ship can be divided into ship coffin and ship grave according to its size.

The boat was a coffin. Apart from some of the deceased's clothes, there would be nothing else inside, and no one would care about him.

A large ship, or even a warship, may be a pirate's graveyard. There are not only coffins in the ship, but also the wealth accumulated by the pirates during their lifetime. If they are seen by their peers, they may have to make plans.

Robbery of ship tombs is often more dangerous than robbing graves.

Because those pirates dared to leave their graves adrift on the sea, it meant that they had put a deadly move on the ship.

You must know that the ancestor of pirates, Narcissus Sun En, was a Taoist priest who was born in the Five Pecks of Rice. The secret method he left among pirates has deterred the sea area for hundreds of years, and was still used by pirates until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The golden spy gritted his teeth and said, "It looks like a ship grave to me. But... I can't say for sure. I'd be kind enough to bother you to go take a look."

I followed Ye Yang to the vicinity of the warship, and couldn't help but frown: "A ship made of immortal wood! What a big deal."

Immortal wood is actually fir, another name for Chenyin wood. This kind of wood has extremely strong corrosion resistance. If it is specially treated, it will not rot for thousands of years.

This kind of wood is also the best wood for making coffins, second only to the golden nanmu used only for emperors.

The warship was not small in size, and it would not be a problem to accommodate hundreds of people.
