Chapter 191 The Corpse Collector in Xiangjiang River

The corpse collector naturally would not listen to the two disciples' persuasion. Soon it packed up everything and started heading south.

Wang Wu and Daniu were helpless to see their master so stubborn, but since the master was leaving, they couldn't help but follow.

Soon the three of them climbed over several mountains and came to the bank of the mighty Xiangjiang River.

The river was surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there were no people around. There was no fishing boat on the Xiangjiang River, only the clear water was flowing.

"Master, this is the Xiangjiang River. I heard that there are drifts from the floating corpse cave upstream from time to time on the river, but if you want to get those bodies up, you can only find a corpse collector."

Standing by the river, Wang Wu honestly told the corpse collector beside him some of the things he knew.

"That's right, Master. If we are the ones who retrieve corpses, we may have to pay a lot of benefits to those corpse retrievers, otherwise they will not help us retrieve corpses for nothing!"

Da Niu also added that corpse retrievers are also considered a branch of the Tiangong Baijiang, but their status is similar to that of the Yin people, and they are all roles that are not very presentable.

People who do this job are born with a rather strange life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are doomed to be lonely stars. Anyone who is close to them basically has no good end.

Even they themselves are often dragged to the bottom of the river because of some extraordinary corpses.

It can be said that this inheritance is definitely a kind of craft that has a rather miserable end. If it is not forced to a desperate situation, no one will do this business.

"Ka Ka"

After listening to their description, the corpse collector nodded slowly, and then directly lifted his legs and walked along the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River.

Seeing that their master did not seem to care, Wang Wu and Daniu could only keep up with their heads. Anyway, no matter how dangerous the front is, it should not be a problem with the master.

After all, they had dealt with many strange corpses and weird things with the corpse collector during this period of time, and they had more or less some experience.

Not long after walking upstream along the Lijiang River, the three of them saw a bamboo shack by the river, and a small boat was docked on the shore.

"Master, this should be the residence of the corpse collector. They basically live by the river and don't live with other people easily."

Seeing this shack, Wang Wu hurriedly leaned over to the corpse collector's ear and whispered to him.

"Who are you?"

At this time, a man with a pale face, yellowish beard and hair, and a large physique just came out of the shack.

This man held a sharp knife in his hand, a double-hook chain around his waist, a brown short shirt, and tattered straw sandals on his feet. He looked like a water ghost.

"Ka Ka Ka"

The corpse collector pointed to the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River and then to himself. Wang Wu, who was standing next to him, quickly said to him: "My master said that we should follow the Xiangjiang River up to the floating corpse cave!"

"Humph, you don't know what's good for you!"

The corpse collector's face became a little gloomy after hearing Wang Wu's words, and then he looked at them as if they were dead.

"Ka Ka"

But the corpse collector then threw a few yellow talismans at him, and the corpse collector saw this and caught them with the sharp knife in his hand.

His movements were fast, accurate and ruthless, and the whole process seemed extremely natural. The talismans seemed to be stuck on the sharp knife.

"Wow, corpse-suppressing talismans? Are you from the Suppressing Ghosts Division?"

After seeing these yellow talismans clearly, the corpse collector looked at the corpse collector again with a slightly different look.

"Ka Ka"

But the corpse collector shook his head and denied his statement, which made him feel quite strange.

"Forget it, since you want to die, then get on the boat!"

However, he had no reason not to accept the corpse-suppressing talisman that was delivered to his door. After thinking for a while, he directly took the talisman into his arms, then waved to the three people and jumped onto the small boat by the river.

The corpse-collecting paper man did not hesitate to go directly to the riverside and walked onto the small boat. It was naturally better to take a boat to the upper floating corpse cave than to cross the mountains along the Xiangjiang River.

Wang Wu and Daniu hurriedly followed, but the two were obviously a little frightened. After getting on the boat, they couldn't help looking around for fear that a water ghost would appear at any time.

"Creaky~Creaky~"

As the corpse-collector slowly shook the oars, the corpse-collecting boat was gradually driven into the river and then began to move upstream of the Xiangjiang River.

"Splash~Splash~"

The water flow in the center of the Xiangjiang River was obviously more turbulent, but this corpse-collecting boat was quite stable.

"It's so cold!"

Daniu, who was originally sitting on the boat, couldn't help but shudder, because he could clearly feel that the wooden board of the boat was emitting a cold feeling all the time.

Obviously this boat is not an ordinary boat, otherwise it would be impossible to sail so steadily, and the wooden board is so cold.

"Hehe, our corpse-collecting boat is a good thing passed down by our master's master. No matter whether it is day or night, as long as we go out, we can ensure that those water ghosts will not get close!"

Seemingly noticing the strange feeling of Daniu and Wang Wu, the corpse-collector laughed twice and then spoke to them.

"Haha, that's it! That's it!"

Wang Wu couldn't help but stand up from the boat. He only felt that his lower body was cold now. If they hadn't been constantly training their bodies under the supervision of the corpse-collecting paper man these days, I'm afraid their whole body would be cold.

"Huh? Another cargo is coming today?!"

Suddenly, the corpse-collector who was rowing seemed to have discovered something, and stopped his hand movements directly, stood up and looked at the river in the distance.

As the black spot on the river surface approached, Wang Wu and Daniu could see clearly that it was a corpse floating on its back.

The clothes on the corpse looked like they were a few years old, but the strange thing was that the corpse did not show any signs of decay.

At this time, the corpse was disheveled and wrapped in water plants, slowly floating down the river.

"Hua La La~"

At the same time, the corpse collector standing on the bow untied the double-hook chain around his waist and began to swing it in his hands.

"Woo Wu~"

The chain with iron hooks kept making a whistling sound in the air. As the floating corpse on the river surface approached, the corpse collector immediately took action.

I saw the chain with hooks instantly fly from his hand to the floating corpse like a spirit snake.

"Plop!"

"Hua La!"

Then the chain fell into the river, but the corpse collector did not immediately take it back, but began to shake the chain vigorously. I don't know what specific skills he used. I saw that the chain in the river water was entangled with the floating corpse after a while.

"Hold on tight!"

Seeing the chain successfully wrapped around the body, he immediately warned Wang Wu and the others, then half-crouched, and then used both hands to pull the chain towards himself.

"Get up!"

"Swish!"

As he started to pull, the chain was instantly stretched straight, and it didn't look like he was pulling a body, but fighting with some unknown giant in the water!
