Chapter 764: An agreement is reached
Clay figurines are hunting!
Fang Ming didn't reply immediately, no matter what the origin of this City God Lord is, whether it is a spirit or a ghost, but the strength of being able to become a City God Lord is definitely not bad.
This is the same as the handle of a place, there is only one position, and whoever is strong can sit in this position.
A City God asked for help from him, and Fang Ming didn't feel that he should be happy, because the things that City God asked for help must be extraordinary.
Seeing that Fang Ming didn't respond, the clay figure was a little anxious, and the scope of the arrest increased a few points.
"Let's talk about the situation first, I can help you if I can help, I don't guarantee it. ”
After Fang Ming said this, the clay figure bowed to Fang Ming three times seriously, and then jumped directly from the table, more than a meter high, the strange thing is that the clay figure is still intact, jumping on the ground and going in one direction.
"Let's take a look. ”
Seeing the surprised expressions of Zhang Yaohui and the others, Fang Ming didn't explain, but followed behind the clay figure, and the others were naturally curious about what a city god would ask Fang Ming to help them, so they all followed.
The speed of the clay figure was not slow, and he walked in the direction of the river embankment, and after a while, he came to the Dongting Lake, and finally stood there.
"Fang Ming, what does this clay figure mean?" Zhang Yaohui asked with some curiosity when he saw the clay figure pointing to the surface of the lake.
Fang Ming also frowned, and asked after half a sound, "Do you want me to help you go to the lake to catch something?"
The clay figure nodded quickly, proving that Fang Ming's guess was right.
"What are you fishing?"
The clay figure pointed at himself, Fang Ming probably understood the meaning of this clay figure, but it was precisely because he understood that he was even more confused.
"Your statue of the Lord of the City God is under this lake, but since you are no longer the Lord of the City God, the statue has nothing to do with you, so why do you have to salvage it?"
Fang Ming understood the meaning of the clay man, and the clay man pointed to himself to tell Fang Ming that his statue was at the bottom of this lake, but as I said before, the position of the city god was just an official position, the iron city god temple, and the flowing city god of the city god.
Since the city god has been replaced, the sculptures burned by the people are useless, and the spirits will usually take the initiative to leave.
To be honest, when he found out that it was the City God Master who was making trouble, Fang Ming still had a little doubt in his heart, that is, why didn't this City God Lord leave?
"Uncle Zhang, find a few good underwater skills, go down and see if there is anything at the bottom of this lake, it may be a statue or something. ”
After Fang Ming finished speaking, he suddenly denied it again, "This kind of weather is too cold, forget it, I'll come." ”
In the cold winter, even professional salvage staff may not be able to stand it, not to mention ordinary workers, it is easy to have dangers and accidents when entering the water, as for themselves, with their own physical fitness, such a little cold is nothing.
"Let's let the professionals come, it's easy to cramp in the water in this weather. Zhang Yaohui said with some persuasion.
"There's no need to be so troublesome, and I'm not sure what is underwater, I'm the best to go down, and there will be no accidents. ”
Fang Ming shook his head, and Han Qiaoqiao on the side also echoed at this time: "Uncle Zhang, you don't have to worry about him, he is very timid, and he will never do anything that may bring harm to himself." ”
With Han Qiaoqiao's persuasion, Zhang Yaohui was willing to agree, and Fang Ming was not verbose, he took off his coat directly by the river, and then jumped into the lake, burrowed into the bottom of the water and disappeared.
The water in the lake is not particularly clear, and the water is also relatively turbid, and the visibility is not very high, but for Fang Ming, this is nothing, a dive, a depth of more than ten meters, and it will take a few seconds to arrive.
The speed of the lake was very slow, but the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake could still be seen swaying, and among these green aquatic plants, a yellow thing was extremely conspicuous, and Fang Ming noticed it immediately.
When Fang Ming swam over, he found that it was a lump of yellow silt, but when Fang Ming's hand broke the mud, it revealed something dark green.
"Bronze?"
Fang Ming was a little surprised, there was actually a bronze artifact under the water of this lake?
Thinking of this, his hands quickly cleaned up the mud, and soon, this bronze was completely revealed, it was a bronze ancient bell, and the size was not particularly large, that is, the height of a person.
This bell is about five hundred catties, if it is replaced by someone else, it will definitely not be able to salvage this bronze bell, but Fang Ming is different, with the help of the power of the current, Fang Ming directly dragged the bronze bell towards the shore.
A few minutes later, when Zhang Yaohui's expression became a little anxious, Fang Ming's human head finally came out of the water and appeared on the shore.
"There's a big object, get out of the way. ”
Hearing Fang Ming say this, Zhang Yaohui and the others had a look of curiosity on their faces, because they couldn't figure out what big objects Fang Ming could fish out of the water, after all, a person's strength could not exert thirty percent of his strength underwater, and it would be difficult to hold anything more than fifty catties.
Therefore, when they saw Fang Ming dragging a bronze bell up, Zhang Yaohui and the others opened their mouths in surprise, hundreds of catties of things, one person dragged them up from the water, what a lot of strength.
Among the few people at the scene, only Han Qiaoqiao didn't have much of a surprised expression, because in her heart, even if Fang Ming's performance was different, she was acceptable.
The bronze bell was salvaged from the water, and the clay figure was very excited, and he came to the front of the bronze bell, looking like he wanted to get close but didn't dare to get close.
"There's something about you in the bell?"
Fang Ming glanced at the clay figure, then put on his coat, and then carefully looked at the bronze bell.
The surface of the bronze bell is very simple, there is not even a pattern on it, it is just some simple lines, and at the mouth of the bell is stuffed with yellow mud, not the silt in the water is piled up in, but the kind of specially fired clay, just like the material of the clay figure.
"Clay seals the soul, is your body in this?"
Fang Ming had a judgment in his heart, but Zhang Xiaolong on the side asked curiously: "Brother Ming, what is the clay soul sealing." ”
"Everyone knows that clay can be used to fire sculptures and some porcelain, but clay also has another function, that is, the role of sealing, this seal has two meanings, one is the physical seal, the physical seal such as making a flower chicken with clay to seal it so that the fragrance does not go away, when burying a jar of wine on the ground, the mouth of the altar is sealed with yellow mud to prevent the wine from dissipating, these are physical. ”
"But in addition to the physical seal, there is also a seal from the soul, clay has a sealing effect on all souls and other things, if there is a kind of stove made of clay at home, if you find that you often have nightmares or feel that the child is often in a daze, you can get some soil from the stove and wipe it on the child's face or navel. ”
Fang Ming explained in detail, the yellow mud of this bronze bell is obviously something that someone can get on, in order to seal the things inside the copper bell, and only this special fired yellow mud can not fall off after being underwater for so long.
Lao Jia took a hammer from the construction site according to Fang Ming's instructions, and under Fang Ming's guidance, the yellow mud began to be slowly broken, the yellow mud was very thick, almost more than a foot thick, Lao Jia knocked it for about ten minutes before the yellow mud was broken.
The yellow mud was shattered, and the things inside the bronze bell also revealed their true faces, there was a tuft of white fluffy hair inside, when he saw this mass of hair, Fang Ming finally knew why this City God Lord asked for help from him, and he also knew the identity of this City God Lord.
This City God Lord is indeed a spirit, and it is also a rare rabbit who has cultivated into a refinement.
Even if a spirit is a city spirit cultivator, it still retains some of the most basic characteristics, and one of the rabbits' nature is to be afraid of water, even if they have already cultivated into a refinement, it is still the same.
The rabbit spirit could not be soaked in water for a long time, and the bronze bell contained the rabbit spirit's body hair, which was suppressed underwater by the bronze bell, causing the rabbit spirit to be unable to leave the area.
Can't leave this area, the position of the city god has been robbed again, and when the catastrophe comes, the rabbit spirit will definitely not be able to survive, and the final result will be to disappear, unless you choose to cultivate yourself to become an ordinary rabbit.
Therefore, this rabbit spirit must use the hands of others to salvage the bronze bell, but the rabbit spirit is just a spirit in the end, unable to communicate with people, and ordinary people can't understand what he means at all.
Fang Ming got out of the way, and the clay figure immediately jumped into the bronze bell, and then hugged the tuft of hair in his hand, this tuft of hair was not ordinary hair, but the only hair left on her body after surviving the catastrophe, of course, these Fang Ming also guessed.
The clay figure held his hair and struck at Fang Ming a few times before leaving, but Fang Ming blocked the way of the clay man.
"I helped you, maybe I offended someone, don't you think you should give something in return?"
Fang Ming didn't think he was a good person, not to mention that this spirit was not a good spirit, if he was really a kind spirit, he wouldn't be so harmful because the clay statue was unintentionally destroyed by the workers.
So Fang Ming's attitude is very simple, I helped you, then you have to give me the corresponding return, if you can't get a return, I'm sorry, I may put the rabbit fur back into the bronze bell and sink it to the bottom.
The clay figure looked at Fang Ming's serious expression, and he could also feel that Fang Ming's tone was not joking.
After half a ring, the clay figure finally made a decision, pointed his finger at Han Qiaoqiao, and then drew a circle, but Fang Ming frowned and said, "You are not qualified enough for this." ”
Hearing Fang Ming's words, the clay figure pointed at Zhang Yaohui again, this time drawing a square.
"Yes, deal. ”
The exchange between Fang Ming and the clay man, Han Qiaoqiao and the others looked at each other, because they didn't know what agreement Fang Ming and the clay man had reached.
