Yuelan and I glanced at each other, and said in disbelief: "Since there is the protection of the river god, then when we were fighting the evil spirit, we didn't see their river god come out to help, grandpa, this offering to the river god should be a ritual or form, not as effective as you think." ”

Grandpa looked at me with interest, nodded and said, "Yes, maybe you're right, it's just a form or a ritual, but if you think about it, is there another possibility?"

Yuelan and I were a little confused, I didn't know what grandpa was referring to, and then the fat man on the side touched his nose and said: "According to common sense, Xia Liu was coiled and entangled by those dense hairs, there should be no chance of survival, you said that even the cylinder of the oxygen cylinder was pierced, why didn't you pierce his body?

I frowned slightly, and said casually: "Does that mean that this evil hair has no intention of killing Xia Liu?

Yuelan suddenly added, "Grandpa means that the river god they are offering is this evil hair?"

Grandpa nodded with a slight smile, very pleased.

"No wonder Grandpa would let us check if there was a bug, it turned out to be the reason. "It dawned on me.

The fat man also took over and said, "I thought it was impossible, but when I think about it, they drove their yacht to the river early that morning, why didn't the evil attack them? ”

"If that's the case, then they've put on a good show, and even we have lied to us. I turned to my grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, how did you find out?" ”

"I just suspect that when Xia Liu was pulled on the boat, I checked his pulse, but the pulse was stable, and he was not as weak as Yuelan, so I suspected that he was pretending, but it was not broken. Grandpa thought for a moment and said, " In addition, Xia Mengping has always said that there are monsters in the lake or something, it is clear that they want us to retreat, at this moment not only did we not retreat, but also went to the middle of the lake to test, they mean to let the river god come out to scare us, if we really retreat, we will retreat, if we don't retreat, just kill us, when we are surrounded by those hairs, I found that Xia Liu and Kuroko's eyes are not quite right, their fear is pretended, when they are really afraid, the pupils will change, but they don't, and occasionally there are indefinite flickering, so I doubt it。 ”

I frowned slightly, and I said, "When we were besieged, if I hadn't made a move, what would have been the end?"

The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads, Yuelan said: "Either you are dead, or you are not dead, they were arrested, and then they robbed us of all our money, and maybe forced grandpa to transfer the money abroad, and then killed us, but if it is just to stun us and then let us go, I don't believe it, they won't be so merciful, can they let us go just because you are her sister's classmate?"

I nodded, Yuelan is right, there are more black people on the road, money is more realistic than the so-called classmate relationship, and only I will pull the four bastards of Ergou.

"Then Grandpa said in front of them that there is a way to break the evil spirit? Isn't this a startling snake?" I looked at Grandpa puzzled.

"This is to scare them, let them know that we also have the means to fight back, and with the hand you showed on the boat, they must not dare to mess around. Grandpa took a deep breath and said, "What the hell is this down here? Is it really Zhao Tuo's tomb? Otherwise, they would have gone to such great lengths to stop us?"

"When I started at that time, I was thinking about looking for Yuelan, and I didn't think much about anything else, so I didn't look around carefully, and when I saw Yuelan fighting with the evil hair, I rushed over, and then I found the lake, which should be the entrance. I thought about it for a moment and said, "Maybe everything is under the eye of the lake." ”

"Grandpa, what are you going to do next?" Yuelan asked Grandpa.

Grandpa lit a cigarette again, then frowned slightly, and said for a long time: "This is my headache, people say that the strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake, this is not our chassis, and the water bucket is not our strong point, and now there is an evil at the bottom of the lake, I am thinking about whether it is necessary to continue." ”

"You mean we don't do it, do you?" I asked tentatively.

"Unless this is Zhao Tuo's tomb underneath, there is no need to take such a big risk. Grandpa took a deep breath and said: "Xiaofan, do anything, especially in our business, there is no need to be how to do it, you remember, safety first, you have a life to take, you have to have a life to spend, money is endless, but there is only one life." ”

"I remember, Grandpa. A few of us nodded.

"Manly man, to know how to measure, know how to advance and retreat, can bend and stretch, unless there is a reason to win, otherwise everything has to leave a way back for themselves, just like many predecessors on the road, when the previous fight, how can there be like now, all taken away, even the clothes of the tomb owner have been picked, not a piece of pants left, the old generation is a thief, called the tomb robber three points, go in and pick a few valuable things to take away, the rest is also left for people, which means to borrow from the tomb owner, take the money of the dead to save people's lives, but now the inverted bucket, basically is poured light, this is actually not called theft, and rob。 Grandpa sighed and said.

"Old Tao, people's hearts are not ancient, where can the current people compare with the previous people. The fat man took a sentence and said: "For today's plan, if it is really no longer to follow up, then think of a way, find an excuse to talk to the Xia brothers and sisters, or a direct showdown, say nothing, and save us from seeking revenge in the future or others." ”

Grandpa shook his head and said: "Even if you don't do it, you can't say it clearly, the play has to be done enough, what to do, what to do, I know that there is a peach tree at the back of this hotel, let's go cut a few peach branches to make peach nails, the older the peach tree, the better, the stronger the power of the peach nails." ”

"Grandpa, are you sure that this peach wood nail will have an effect on that evil spirit?" I didn't doubt Grandpa's Taoism, but I just asked casually.

"After testing, I gave you the Dao talisman at that time, the hair is very jealous, this talisman is effective, and I will engrave the Dao talisman on the peach wood nail when the time comes. Grandpa said confidently.

"Well, I see. "It dawned on me.
