Chapter 70: Kappa

  The three of them were shocked, their faces changing color in an instant. As the wooden raft spun faster and faster, they could hardly keep their balance, but on the other hand, the two wooden coffins gradually stopped spinning around.

  Cha Wenbins mind was getting calmer and calmer at this moment, which was where he differed from ordinary people. When Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong were both lying on the wooden raft in a daze, he was still watching every subtle change here.

  When he saw that the two coffins had stopped moving, he shouted: "Chaozi, Zhuo Xiong, can you two swim?"

  The two people in a flurry answered one after another: "Yes!"

  Zha Wenbin readily picked up the climbing rope on the wooden raft, throwing one end to Chaozi and tying the other end tightly in the middle of the raft.

  "Grab the rope and jump into the water quickly!"

  Although they didnt understand Zhang Wenbins intention, the two of them didnt hesitate at all. With a "plop" and another "plop", the sound of falling into the water was heard. Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong were treading water in the icy cold pool, both hands grasping the wooden raft, spinning around with it.

  "Take your hands off the wooden board and dont touch it. Just tie yourself up with a rope and hold on in the water for a while!"

  Its strange to say, when Chaozi and Zhuoxiongs hands left the wooden board, it gradually began to stop rotating, and as the inertia slowly disappeared, it also gradually returned to calmness.

  Chao Tzu and Cho Hsiong were struggling to stay afloat in the water, staring at the wooden raft that had stopped moving. Before they could even think about it, they heard Cha Wen-pin shouting from afar: "You beasts!"

  Two people turned their heads to look, and at this moment, two coffins were sitting on top of each other, a little boy and a little girl, both naked, only about four or five years old.

  They say they are kids, but thats not the case. These two would be better described as freaks, because their heads arent round, but rather a large depression!

  Those two little kids were grinning at the two people in the water, with their mouths open to reveal two sharp fangs on top and bottom, their eyes gleaming with ferocity - what kind of normal family has kids like this?!

  "Come quickly!" Zhang Wenbin shouted.

  Just as Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong were about to board the wooden raft, those two children also disappeared one after another. Immediately afterwards, both of them felt a sharp pain in their calves, and then something pulled themselves down with an astonishing force.

  "Wenbin, theres something pulling me underwater!" "Im being pulled too!"

  Zha Wenbin took out a small object from his bag, a very small steelyard, no bigger than the palm of ones hand. Although it was small in size, it had all the necessary parts, including the hook, scale and weight.

  Chao Zis head was half submerged in the water, and every time he took a breath, he swallowed a mouthful of water. Zhuo Xiong was no better off, his hands slapping the water in desperation.

  Cha Wenbin picked up the anchor and with a "thud" threw it between Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong. At this moment, they felt their feet loosen, Cha Wenbin grabbed one of them in each hand, and after struggling, they finally climbed onto the wooden raft.

  Roll up the pant legs and take a look, both of their calves have a fingerprint on them. The fingerprint is particularly long, unlike ordinary people, this print only has four fingers, and now they are all purple.

  Cha Wenbin took out a handful of glutinous rice from his pocket and handed it over to them.

  "Cover the wound with glutinous rice and it will absorb the poison. You two just sit here and dont move, when the glutinous rice turns black, youll be fine."

  Looking at the shocking handprint on his leg, Chaozi asked: "What is this thing?"

  Zhuo Xiong cried out with a sad face and followed up by saying: "What else can be done? Its all because of the Water Ghost!"

  Cha Wenbin looked at the two coffins and said, "Indeed, they are water ghosts. To be precise, they should be called Kappa, but they are just poor children who have been cursed by people. The wooden raft earlier was them causing trouble, trying to throw us down. Once were in the water, no one can come back up."

  "What about us?" Chaozi asked.

  "What was just thrown down was a steelyard, the most impartial thing between heaven and earth, symbolizing justice. The kappa pulled you in just to find two scapegoats for reincarnation. But who can compare with the majestic and impartial aura on the steelyard? Everyone thought it was an extraordinary person who fell into the water, so they rushed to grab it first, and thats when you could escape."

  "What now?"

  "I deliberately made the two of you fall into the water just to lure them out. The Kappa has appeared, confirming that its indeed this thing. Now we just need to think of a way to burn those two coffins and we can break this formation. The next one should be the Gate of Death, and the ones guarding this formation are probably those two kids. However, in the water, no one is their match, including me!"

  The glutinous rice in the hands of the two people gradually turned black, and Cha Wenbin poured a little more rootless water from the small bottle to rinse them off. The original purple-black handprints had now become light red.

  "Its all right, Chaozi, bring out the wine." Before they left, they were afraid it would be cold in the mountains, so they specially bought two bottles of warming liquor.

  Chao Zi took down his backpack, pulled out two bottles of Erguotou and handed one to Cha Wenbin, saying: "Alright, next well go burn those two coffins. This is a pair of male and female corpses. The one in front is the male, that piece of water is yin, which means theres yang within yin; the one closer to the back has a female inside, that piece of water is yang, which means theres yin within yang. Qimen Dunjia, yin and yang are intertwined, our current position is exactly where yin and yang intersect. As long as we dont go into the water, it can only trap us."

  Chaozi made a gesture with his hand and said: "Xiangzi, how was your grenade throwing skills in the army before?"

  "There are only two bottles of wine, can you be sure?" asked Cha Wenbin.

  Chaozi said: "At this distance, I can throw it with my eyes closed, but I dont know how he is?"

  Zhuo Xiong naturally understood his meaning and smiled: "Why dont we have a competition?"

  "Let Wenbin be the referee."

  He twisted open the wine bottle cap, looked at his own wet clothes and could only glance at Cha Wenbins body, smiling and saying: "Brother Wenbin, lend me some clothes?"

  Zha Wenbin was speechless and could only tear off a piece of cloth from his own body.

  As a Molotov cocktail, the two of them were naturally not to be outdone. The cloth strip was soaked in wine, bunched up into a ball and stuffed into the bottle mouth, leaving a section outside as a fuse, and it was done in no time.

  After ignition, two loud glass shattering sounds were heard, "Boom", on the water surface, two huge flames rose up, two burning bottles accurately hit the wooden coffin, highly flammable white wine was instantly ignited, and turned the wooden coffin into a sea of fire.

  Three people stood on the wooden raft, watching the burning wooden coffin. A foul smell came with it, and they could only cover their noses. Fortunately, the air circulation in this cave was not slow, otherwise, they would have been suffocated to death before being dragged down by the water ghost.

  After a while, the flames gradually subsided, and the part of the wooden coffin exposed above the water had been largely burned away. Cha Wenbin asked Chaozi to try whether the raft could move. The two picked up the wooden sticks and rowed in the water, and it really worked.

  "Go take a look over by the coffin."

  Zhuo Xiong heard that they were going to see that thing and his heart felt a chill: "Lets just not go see it..."

  "Super Child scolded: You coward."

  The wooden raft is now under their control, and after a few strokes, they arrived at the first coffin in front of them. The blackened wooden coffin was still smoldering with embers. In the middle, one of the childs corpses had been burned to charcoal and was still emitting a faint wisp of smoke. Cha Wenbin sighed and said, "They were also two poor children who were wronged by others and became a pair of vengeful spirits trapped in this place."

  Bring out the climbing rope, tie it to that coffin, slide the wooden raft, and pull it up. The other coffin also had a charred corpse inside, Zha Wenbin asked them to put the two coffins together.

  Zhuo Xiong and Chao Zi were reluctant, but they didnt dare go against his wishes. After it was done, Chao Zi asked: "Wen Bin brother, arent you afraid that youll still want to hold a Buddhist ceremony for them? Just now we almost lost our lives."

  Zha Wenbin said: "This is also not their intention, if I dont cross over, Im afraid it wont be long before my soul will scatter and Ill never be able to transcend."

  "Having finished speaking, he turned around and took out two incense sticks from his bag, lit them up, and inserted them at the bottom of each coffin. He recited: "The Supreme Decree commands you to transcend your lonely souls. All ghosts and demons, benefit from the four births; kneel before my altar, the Eight Trigrams shine brightly. Rise from the Kan position and ascend to another realm. Whether male or female, take responsibility for yourself; wealth and poverty, you have invited it upon yourself. I command all of you to transcend quickly, transcend quickly! Ah!"

  Two wisps of blue smoke floated out from the incense, lingering in mid-air for a moment before drifting towards the direction they had come from. Chu Zi loosened his grip on the climbing rope, and the two coffin boards also drifted downstream with the current. Standing on the wooden raft, looking far into the distance, Cha Wenbin said: "Now we should go, lets try walking forward."
