Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

but.

The passengers in the cabin looked at Partridge Whistle with no gratitude, but rather with fear.

In their view.

The person who could kill three tomb raiders in an instant was definitely not an ordinary person; in any case, they were no pushover.

Partridge Whistle didn't care about the stares of these people.

He turned to look at Li Xiaohu and said incredulously, "Brother Xiaohu."

"Could there really be a river god in the Yellow River?"

Partridge Whistle has always maintained a sense of awe towards rumors about ghosts and gods.

Legend has it that the curse of their mountain-moving clan comes from an ancient god.

But he had never actually seen any ghosts or gods.

The fact that the legend of the Yellow River God has now come true for me is quite shocking.

Yin Xinyue and the others arrived at Li Xiaohu's side at this time.

I'd like to hear his opinion.

Li Xiaohu gazed ahead, looking at a huge, faintly visible shadow in the river, and murmured:

Whether the river god truly exists depends on each person's heart.

"But even if you don't believe in his existence, you should always maintain a sense of awe."

Li Xiaohu had probably already guessed the true identity of the "Yellow River God".

It's very likely the spirit from my memory.

However, he wasn't wrong.

Even if the "Yellow River God" that people talk about is not a real god.

But as long as you maintain a sense of awe towards him, you will definitely avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Partridge Whistle and the others have stopped.

After a long pause, he nodded thoughtfully, though it was unclear whether he truly understood the meaning of those words.

The ferry continued its leisurely journey on the Yellow River.

After passing through several more gorges,

"Clang, clang, clang..."

But suddenly the engine stalled and it started to slow down.

They slowly approached a dock on the shore.

The captain stepped out of the bridge, called to all the passengers, and shouted, "We're about to dock!"

"Everyone, get ready to disembark!"

One passenger asked in confusion, "We've only just reached Huangyan Gorge, there's still more than half the journey left!"

Why are they kicking people off the ship?

The captain chuckled sheepishly and explained, "We've been sailing only this far lately."

“The river section leading up to Gulan County has been very strange lately; many boats have capsized there, and we dare not go any further.”

The passenger said discontentedly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The captain said with a forced smile, "There are notices posted on the dock, but you gentlemen probably didn't notice them."

Li Xiaohu and Partridge Whistle exchanged a puzzled look.

Is that true?

They didn't even notice.

Amidst the arguing between the captain and passengers, the ferry slowly and swayed as it docked.

Even if the passengers were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to obediently disembark and continue their journey by land.

Li Xiaohu sensed that something was wrong.

So he asked the captain.

"Captain, I have a question for you."

Partridge Whistle saved the lives of everyone on the ship.

The captain, naturally, dared not neglect his companions and replied respectfully, "Please ask, sir."

Li Xiaohu asked, "You said earlier that the Yellow River basin from here to Gulan County has been acting strangely lately."

"What exactly happened?"

When this is mentioned.

The captain said with a gloomy expression, "Oh, don't even mention it!"

After letting out another long sigh, he began to tell his story in detail.

"We're currently experiencing a severe drought; it hasn't rained here for a long time."

"The people prayed to gods and Buddhas, begged for rain, and fought off drought demons to bring rain, but it was all in vain. Heaven still refused to send down a single drop of rain."

"It's strange."

"It hasn't rained here for months, but the Yellow River is getting more and more turbulent!"

"For a period of time before, all the boats that sailed on the Yellow River would capsize, without exception!"

"Some people say they saw a huge, strange fish churning in the Yellow River!"

"It capsized several ships in succession and swallowed many people!"

"Some people say that the strange fish is the legendary Iron-Headed Dragon King, and all of this is because of the Dragon King's wrath!"

As they talked...

The captain sighed deeply again.

"The severe drought has already made life very difficult for the people, and now they can't even get close to the Yellow River, making it even harder for them to live."

"And then?" Yin Xinyue asked curiously.

"Later," the captain continued, "a feng shui master from another region came to Gulan County."

"They say that as long as we capture the Iron-Headed Dragon King in the Yellow River and use its bones to build a fishbone temple to pray to heaven for rain, all our problems will be solved!"

Hear this.

Li Xiaohu's eyebrows suddenly twitched.

Could the feng shui master the captain mentioned be his second senior brother?

The captain continued:

"This feng shui master is really quite capable."

"With the help of the local villagers, he actually managed to catch the Iron-Headed Dragon King in the river!"

"Then he personally funded the construction of the Fishbone Temple using the remains of the Iron-Headed Dragon King."

Yin Xinyue suddenly felt a bit conflicted and asked, "According to what you said..."

"The Yellow River is turbulent, and the boats are capsizing because of an iron-headed dragon king."

"But wasn't the Iron-Headed Dragon King already captured by that feng shui master's scheme?"

Why are you still afraid to continue sailing?

A bitter look suddenly appeared on the captain's face, and he said with a wry smile, "That's where the problem lies."

"That feng shui master did indeed capture the Iron-Headed Dragon King."

"But who knew there were two Iron-Headed Dragon Kings in the Yellow River?!"

"After that feng shui master caught one of them, he began to bury himself in building the Fishbone Temple. He stopped paying attention to anything else and rarely even showed his face. Nobody knew what he was doing."

"But the other Iron-Headed Dragon King has been guarding the watershed of Gulan County ever since then."

“If a 1.9-ton ship comes, it will capsize the ship.”

"Who would dare to go?"

Yin Xinyue and the others smiled awkwardly upon hearing this; they hadn't expected such a turn of events.

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and their doubts disappeared.

Since the captain said that the river basin is dangerous and it is not safe to sail there.

Then they'll switch to the land route.

It just takes a little more time.

Seeing this, the captain quickly asked in a friendly manner, "Where are you gentlemen going?"

"Do you need me to find you a car?"
