In the narrow alley, the big man rushed to catch up with Bai Qi, screaming and scolding, and was about to grab Bai Qi's collar with his probe, when Bai Qi suddenly turned around and punched his fingers. The fist was forward, and the blocker was invincible, and his fingers were knocked upside down and dislocated. Dahan didn't expect that the other party would be so ruthless and decisive, and such a method is obviously not an ordinary street fight. This big man is also a figure in the rivers and lakes who has been in the mess for many years, and he finally has some insight, and he turned around and ran away when he realized that something was wrong.

Yuan Quan had already blocked the back road for him, and when the big man saw that Yuan Quan had a fair and delicate face, he only said that this was a good bully, and he yelled and pounced, and probed his uninjured left hand to grab Yuan Quan's clothes. Yuan Quan shrewdly flashed, let go behind the big man, raised his leg and kicked on the crook of the big man's leg, kicking him to his knees. Flashed his pistol to the back of the big man's head and shouted, "Don't move, if you shout and move again, it will collapse you!"

Li Muye led Ji Xuefei to appear at the mouth of the alley and ordered, "Get him into the house first." ”

Bai Qi opened the door of a house in the alley and carried the big man into the house.

It turns out that this is a newly rented house specially dispatched, located at the junction of urban and rural areas, mainly bungalows, alleys and alleys, and an area where dragons and snakes are mixed.

The big man stood in the hall, Li Muye sat next to him and looked at him, and said, "Wu Yinglong, do you know why I am looking for you?"

"You know, you're here to ask for money. Wu Yinglong hung his head and said: "Your nose is too smart, I just got the money and I haven't covered it yet, so you came here, in fact, I really don't want to repay the debt, you don't need to make such a big battle to ask for money." ”

Li Muye said coldly: "Mixed Jianglong, you are also a well-known figure in the local rivers and lakes, I heard that you also worshipped the Paizi Gang when you were young, and you are as big as a dragon in the water, you are the first in the local corpse fishing shop, after mixing the rivers and lakes for so long, you still can't tell whether we want money or death? Do you want to die or live?"

As soon as Wu Yinglong heard this, he knelt down and said, "I'm going to die." ”

Li Muye said: "It's simple, what do you say when I ask you, and then you can do what I ask you to do, understand?"

This Wu Yinglong was found by Lao Ye using the old relationship between the rivers and lakes, so Lao Ye deliberately avoided it.

Previously, Li Muye and Lao Ye studied and analyzed together, and believed that the main target of Xiaoyao Pavilion and Protestantism was the shipwreck in the river, and if they wanted to salvage the shipwreck, they would definitely ask the people who were most familiar with the water conditions in the area to help. Lao Ye's hometown is in Jiangxi Province, and the local characters are connected to each other, as long as you sincerely explore, you can always find someone related to it. Soon locked this Wu Yinglong through a friend.

This man's profession is a corpse digger, also known as a water ghost. Nominally a fisherman, in fact his main business is to salvage corpses on the river. There is a state-run salvage company in the local area, he is a self-employed person who operates without a license, has no qualifications, and has not undergone relevant safety training on the right track, and is completely out of the woods, but in terms of efficiency and ability, it is much more powerful than the official modern equipment of mechanical ships. Therefore, it got a nickname in the local area: mixed river dragon.

Lao Ye also found out that the water flow of the local estuary into the lake is turbulent and the water situation is complicated, especially in the area of Taigong Temple, the waterway is long and narrow, the depth is different, the deep place is like the abyss of hell, but the shallow water can often let the big ship run aground. The terrain on both sides of the strait is wide in the south and narrow in the north, and the wind entering the estuary will form the phenomenon of large inlet and small outgoing wind speed acceleration, once it comes to the flood season, the river is full, the wind and waves are urgent, and the water area of tens of meters deep is like the sea that is thousands of meters deep, surging and undulating, and the danger is unpredictable.

These are not terrible, for those old water ghosts who have been dealing with the big rivers and lakes all year round, the most terrifying thing about this water area is the evil legends related to it.

There is a widespread legend that there is a portal hidden under this water, which leads to the Crystal Palace of the Sea, and the dragon king's family will come out from here from time to time to enter the waterway, and when they see something they like passing by, they will make waves and overturn the boat.

There are even nearby fishermen who claim that in a certain year and month before liberation, they had seen countless water ghosts and yin soldiers go to the Dragon Palace to fight, and fight with the shrimp soldiers and crabs under the water for several days and nights, and the entire waterway was stained red with blood. In those days, fishermen living near the shore of the lake were often able to catch dozens of catties of injured shrimp and crabs.

The devil ship recorded in history sank in the 40s, and during the Republic of China, the Nanjing Nationalist Government and the United States organized a joint salvage of men and horses, but it ended in failure, and the people involved in the salvage died, crazy, and there was no good result.

When Li Muye heard this, he also joked with Lao Ye, I heard similar things once, it seemed to be in North America at the time, related to Bai Wufang, I don't remember very well, it seems to be such an underwater place, claiming to hide some treasures and the like, and then there are government departments that organize people to salvage, and as a result, many people died.

Lao Ye Zhengse said, this is really not a legend, and this place is not the same thing as the Lake Michigan in North America, the water here is not so deep, generally speaking, there are not many secrets, at the end of the eighties, our state-owned salvage team once selected elite soldiers, with imported sonar equipment to do a detailed hydrological mapping of the entire area. As a result, just halfway through, suddenly there was a storm on the water, the river was full of fog, and the members of the salvage team were dizzy, and when they woke up, they had already reached the shore.

This bastard dragon is forty-nine years old this year, and the reason why he got such a nickname is because of a legendary incident.

In the nineties, there was a cruise ship, passing by here accidentally offended the underwater dragon lord, I heard that there was a woman who threw the used aunt towel from the boat into the river, just hit the dragon's head. provoked the dragon lord to be angry, set off a storm, and almost sank the cruise ship, and later said that there was a tantric monk on the ship, which suppressed the anger of the dragon king, and this saved a catastrophe.

However, although the boat did not capsize, several people threw off the ship, rescued a few on the spot, and finally four said that they could not find anything.

The cruise ship docked, and the owner who ran the cruise ship paid a lot of money to ask the salvage team to help recover the body. The two state-owned boats were busy on the river for a long time, but they did not catch a single corpse. Later, someone instructed the boss to ask the folk water ghosts at the fish wharf to help salvage. Many people were tempted by heavy money to launch their boats, and Wu Yinglong was among them.

Three days later, the others found nothing, and only Wu Yinglong alone fished back all four tourists who had drowned.

This matter has been widely spread in the local area, so that some people think that this Wu Yinglong is the reincarnation of a big catfish, and he was friends with the dragon king in his previous life, so he went to the water to get a big face, and asked the dragon king to come back with food. Since then, he has been nicknamed the Mixed River Dragon.

Many sunken corpses that others can't find, and it is often impossible to ask him to come out.

Those who do what they do are unlucky, and few women are willing to live with them. Wu Yinglong has never been married in his life, except for an occasional prostitute, his biggest hobby is to gamble. This gambling skill is not perfect, the left hand plays with the money fished out of the water, the right hand is sent out on the gambling table, and he gambles for most of his life, and in the end there is nothing left, only a butt of debt owed to the loan shark.

The reason why Li Muye found him was very simple, Ye Hong had already done a detailed investigation of his details before deciding to find him. If Zeng Xiguo and Qi Rulong's gang wanted to find the wreck, he would be the most suitable guide.

Wu Yinglong was not so scared when he saw the gun in Yuan Quan's hand, and when Li Muye asked him in a cold tone whether he wanted to die or live, this guy was really scared. He was scared because he had already identified these people as Jianghu Dao people. Judging from his experience, the person with the gun is most likely to be official, as long as it is official, he will not mess around. But if it's not the official with a gun, it's really deadly.

Li Muye said: "It's easy for you to live, tell me, has someone given you a sum of money recently, asking you to go into the water to catch something?"

Wu Yinglong didn't dare to hide it, nodded and said: "There is such a thing, I should also come down, but they said that they still have to make some preparations, so they haven't gone into the water yet." ”

Li Muye asked again: "Do you know the name of the person who asked you to go into the water?"

Wu Yinglong shook his head and said: "That's not very clear, my friend introduced me, there is a middleman between the employer and me, who directly gave a deposit of 20,000 yuan, and said that he would give 180,000 yuan after the matter is completed, a total of 200,000 yuan, the conscience of heaven and earth, there is really only so much." He added, "If you want to get the money, you have to let me finish this transaction." ”

This old boy still regards Brother Xiao Ye and others as ruthless people who are invited by loan sharks to run for money.

Li Muye said: "Again, I'm not interested in your money. ”

"Then what are you doing with me?" Wu Yinglong looked aggrieved and said: "I'm just an old bachelor, there is no tile in the house, and there is not a ridge on the land." ”

Li Muye said: "But you know the secrets under the water around the Taigong Temple. ”

Wu Yinglong was stunned for a moment, and said: "Yo, you can hold me high, where do I know what secrets are there, if I really knew, I would have made a fortune a long time ago." ”

This man is an old oilman, he doesn't give some real character, and he won't tell the truth. Li Muye saw that he was not very capable, and there was nothing special about him, but he was praised very high in the water ghost industry, not because of any special ability, but because he had mastered some secrets that others did not know.

Li Muye said: "Wu Yinglong, you should know very well by now that your life is in my hands, and whether you are dead or alive is all in my thoughts." As he spoke, he waved his hand and commanded, "Break off the tail finger of his right hand." ”

Bai Qi did not hesitate, went over and grabbed Wu Yinglong's right hand, and ripped off the tail finger of this guy.

"If you answer incorrectly, you will cut off your hand. Li Muye's eyes stared at the sore snot and tears flowed down together, and Wu Yinglong, who was squatting there tremblingly, continued to ask: "What is under the water? How did you find those four corpses back then?"

Wu Yinglong couldn't prevaricate, and he also realized that this group of people would not give up until they reached their goal, so he had to explain: "I don't know if there is a dragon palace and a real dragon under this water, but there must be a big hole, and the four corpses I found were near the entrance of the cave." ”

"Just a hole?" Li Muye was a little suspicious, and said, "Why didn't the state-owned salvage team find it when they used sonar to detect?"

Wu Yinglong said: "The location of the cave is very special, it is hidden under a shallow that is only ten meters deep, you can't see it on the surface, you can only find it by diving, the hole is very large, the shallows are like a cover specially used to cover the cave entrance, and it can't be completely closed, so there are often undercurrents nearby, and those bodies that others can't find are found by me near there." ”

"Such a simple deed, why don't others know that place?" Li Muye grasped the key to asking.

"There is a water ghost wall in that place, the average fisherman sailor turned when he encountered it, and he couldn't get up at all, when I was young, I learned a little water method from the people who taught Paizi, and I knew that it was a weak water current, and even the goose feathers couldn't float, no matter how big the water nature was, I couldn't play it, and I had to walk over with a stone......

"What is the water method, and what is the Paizi Sect?" Ji Xuefei suddenly interjected and asked.
