C2655 Not Afraid of Ghosts

As Huo Qing whispered, the boat approached the dock, and as it neared, the horizon lit up.

Dawn had arrived... The sun was coming out. There was still about an hour before the sun came out.

"Three of you, do you want to cross the river?" As the boat approached, the man spoke with an aged voice.

They were not very close, but they heard Jiang Ting and Huo Qing clearly.

Hong Lian showed a hint of hesitation. "Young Master, that boatman... I have a feeling that something is wrong with him."

"It's very likely that he's a ghost that can appear during the day. Naturally, it's not normal." After replying, Jiang Ting got out of the chariot.

Huo Qing didn't say anything and walked towards the small boat with Jiang Ting. The boat was too small, so the chariot naturally had to give up.

Fortunately, they had a lot of money on them. They could just buy another carriage in the town opposite Qing He.

After the two of them and the ghost approached... The boatman stared at Hong Lian with a hint of hesitation.

"What are you looking at?!" Hong Lian looked a bit angry. She waved her hand and a veil appeared to cover her face.

The boatman was silent for a while before he said, "The three of you don't look like ordinary people."

"You crossed the river just like that. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Huo Qing leaped into the cabin with a tap of his feet. His tone was not polite at all.

He looked at the boatman and stared at Hong Lian for a long time. Then, he sighed softly. "Miss, the murderous aura around you is concentrated and does not disperse. ... Good will be rewarded with good. Evil will be rewarded with evil. Lady, it is better not to do evil in the future. If not, his daily newspaper should come. The two of you, board the boat. "

At the end, the boatman did not say anything.

Interesting. " Jiang Ting brought Hong Lian into the boat and sat on the edge of the deck outside the cabin. His mood became strange.

A ghost told Hong Lian not to do evil and told her that good and evil were rewarded. Was this the sun coming out from the west?

The boatman did not know what Jiang Ting and Huo Qing were thinking. When they got on the boat, the boatman waved his bamboo pole. Using the force of the water, he rowed the boat towards the other side of the river.

"He he he... He went through the vicious waves. ... Dangerous Beach. ... The boatmen are full of guts... Crossing the whirlpool..." Following the melodious voice of the old man, the boatman rowed the small boat and quickly moved forward on the surface of the river.

Jiang Ting and Huo Qing were not in a hurry to make a move. Even if they wanted to make a move, they would have to wait until the boat reached the other side. Or they would have to wait for the boat owner to make a move.

Although with Hong Lian around, Jiang Ting was not afraid of falling into the water. It was just that it would not be troublesome, so it was better not to be troublesome.

Soon, the sun rose from the east, and a ray of sunlight illuminated the land.

The small boat had almost reached the middle of the river.

Huo Qing, who was in the cabin, stared at the boatman who was illuminated by the sun, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He realized that he seemed to have underestimated the boatman's ability. Under the sun, the boatman hadn't changed at all.

As if sensing his gaze, the boatman stopped singing. "If the three of you are bored, I have a story here. The three of you might be able to listen to it."

Huo Qing said softly, "What story?"

Jiang Ting just quietly looked at the boatman. He could not see the exact appearance of the boatman because his appearance was covered by the straw cape. It was hard to tell if it was because of the straw cape that the boatman was not afraid of the sun.

As the boatman rowed the boat, he said, "A long, long time ago, There was an old man in Qing He. He didn't have any children, and he could only rely on rowing the boat to fish for a living... As time passed, the old man grew older and older. Gradually, he became powerless to fish, and he didn't have the strength to move the bamboo pole... "

As he spoke, the old man looked towards the direction of the sun in the sky." One day... The old man was hit by a wave when he was out of the river, and it wasn't a big one. Unfortunately, the old man is too old, facing the storm. He was unable to stabilize the boat... Along with the small storm, the old man's boat... "As a result, he sank to the bottom of the river..."

Huo Qing left the cabin with the knife in his hand. "And then?"

"And then..."

After a moment of silence, the boatman rowed again: "Perhaps he has no children and has no face to go to Jiuquan to face his parents and ancestors... Or perhaps he has lived his entire life in the river, yet he is unwilling to die in the river... Or perhaps, he has been kind to others all his life and has never made things difficult for others, so he moved the heavens..."0

"He's alive again?" Huo Qing stood firmly outside the cabin, and his right hand slowly touched the hilt of the saber.

The boatman was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly. "Because there are too many accidents and unknown things. Although the old man died, his soul was left behind by the river water that buried him... He did not give up. On the Qinghe River, day after day, Year after year, he had sent travelers across the river, for no other reason. It's just for the sake that this river doesn't have to become a natural moat that blocks the two banks. "

Huo Qing gripped the hilt of his saber tightly and the corner of his mouth rose: "It sounds like you are still a good person?"

"You guys are indeed not ordinary people."

Pausing for a moment, the boatman let out a sigh. "That's true. Three months ago, ever since this old man saved those children, The two banks know that this old one is not an ordinary person. You all dare to wait for this old one by the shore, so how can you all be ordinary people?"

Huo Qing brazenly brandished his blade, "Ghosts are ghosts!"

However, what made Huo Qing's expression change was... his blade directly swept past the boatman and the small boat... He did not hit anything. It was as if his saber had only hit an illusion.

"How could this be..." Huo Qing's expression changed greatly.

He had originally planned to test this boatman's ability, and then deliberately show that it was difficult to kill the boatman. He wanted to take the opportunity to knock Jiang Ting out and take care of Hong Lian along the way.

In the end, the boatman was immune to his knife? Although he did not use his full strength, this should not be the case.

The boatman did not get angry. Instead, he slowly continued rowing. "This old man will send you across the river, there is no need to worry... Hehehehe... Crossing the vicious waves... ... Dangerous Beach. ... The boatmen were all courageous... Rushing into the whirlpool... ..." "

"At the end of his sentence, the boatman began to sing again. His voice was melodious and soothing, causing one's mind to calm down.

Jiang Ting spoke slowly. "To people, you are indeed a good ghost."

He was not lying. ... When Huo Qing attacked, he had used the Vast Qi.

In the end, he discovered that... his Vast Qi was useless against the boatman.

Or rather, the boatman was immune to his Haoran Qi!

The boatman was very scary?

That was not the case. It was because he discovered that the boatman was protected by Great Zhou's fate. If the Great Zhou's fate was not gone, the boatman would not die.

Huo Qing wanted to kill the boatman. His Haoran Qi wanted to deal with the boatman. However, he needed to spend a lot of effort to instantly suppress the Great Zhou Qi around the boatman.

Hong Lian was confused. "Young Master, what are you talking about?"

"This old man has the Qi of the Great Zhou around him."

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Ting shook his head slightly. "This old man has probably died one to two hundred years ago. The reason why he did not die completely at the bottom of the river is because the Great Zhou's fate saved him."

"Great Zhou's fate..." Huo Qing was stunned. He did not believe Jiang Ting. However, he still trusted Great Zhou's luck.

This boatman was actually able to continue rowing on the river because of Great Zhou's luck?

A moment later, Huo Qing shook his head and ignored him. ... Since the old man was indeed a good ghost, Well, now it's time to get rid of Hong Lian!
