Chapter 434: The End of the River Styx
Closer and closer, when the distance was less than fifty meters, all the strange scenery in front of him was in full view.
Under the huge Fuso tree, there are two springs bubbling up, forming two "reunions" the size of the Eight Immortals Table, like boiling water, and at the end of this large puddle is a black-green rock wall, and the water is indeed flowing slowly and diagonally upward, which is simply incredible.
"Uncle-this water ......"
I exclaimed, pointing to the green rock wall.
The uncle also showed a surprised look on his face, and said in his mouth: "Probably...... Probably this is the real reason why the Yellow River is called the mother river! ”
Hao Minyuan, who was beside him, interjected and asked, "What does Mr. Song mean is that the water here will lead to the Yellow River on the ground?" ”
The uncle kept staring at the stone wall, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, with a thoughtful look, and he didn't reply.
In order to avoid embarrassment, I quickly explained: "Maybe it's like we go to the hospital to hang hanging bottles, most of the bottles are filled with water, but in each hanging bottle, less than one percent of the medicine will be injected." ”
Listening to my random explanation, I didn't expect Hao Minyuan and the others to nod approvingly.
I quickly changed the conversation: "Uncle! You said the purpose of this visit was ...... What holy water are you looking for? ”
Only then did the uncle relent, and pointed to the huge Fusang tree: "Over there!" The two over there should be the fountain of life! ”
A few of us hurriedly rowed the boat over.
Under the light of the flashlight, the spring is crystal clear, and there is no difference between it and the spring water in Daming Lake in Jinan.
Uncle took out a couple of bottles and handed them to us.
"One bottle per person! It's too much, I'm afraid I can't take it out......"
I vaguely understood what my uncle meant, and nodded.
With this experience, even Hao Minyuan regarded his uncle as a god, so naturally he would follow his words without discount, and several people leaned on the side of the ship. Bend over to catch the water.
I just filled a bottle of water, and I was about to wash my hands and face by the way, but I just tossed all the way, and my palms were full of sweat and sticky, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
But the second time I bent down and reached out to touch the water, suddenly someone pushed my waist hard, I instantly lost my center of gravity, and fell into the water in a "dog eating" posture, and poured two mouthfuls of water.
I guess it's because of the groundwater!
The moment I entered the water, a strong cold hit me, and I couldn't help but feel a thrill all over my body, subconsciously fluttered twice, and reached out to grab the edge of the boat.
My uncle also reacted quickly, grabbed my wrist, pulled hard, and my other hand supported the edge of the boat, and the person flipped to the boat.
"Uncle, ...... just now"
"What happened just now?"
I took a deep breath and glanced at Hao Minyuan and the others, who were more than a meter away from me, and only my uncle was next to me just now...... But how could my uncle push me down the river? In fact, Hao Minyuan, they shouldn't ......
"Just now...... I looked like I was being pushed just now! ”163
My uncle didn't know where to take out a dry towel and handed it to me: "Don't talk nonsense, it's obvious that you haven't stood firm!" ”
I took the towel and wiped my face, and I was puzzled.
Supposedly, no one on the boat would push me into the water, but just now I felt ......
Several people were filled with water, and the uncle hurriedly transferred the boat and turned back.
After the boat had traveled a few hundred meters, the uncle took out two buckets of black dog blood from the cabin, put one bottle at his feet, unscrewed the lid of the other bottle, and sprinkled it like water to every corner of the boat.
Hao Minyuan didn't ask, and they probably understood the reason why the uncle did this.
As they passed through the dementor array with bronze bells, everyone consciously closed their eyes and covered their ears...... Only, I deliberately stared at the surface of the river, trying to see if there was a dragon in the water again, but unfortunately I didn't see anything this time.
Perhaps feeling safe, the extremely curious criminal policeman coughed twice and asked, "Song ...... Mr. Song, you said that the bell was hung by the ancients, how many years has it been? ”
It can be heard from the voice that he was trembling when he said this, and he was probably ready to be scolded back by his uncle.
Unexpectedly, this time the uncle smiled slightly: "I don't know how many years it is...... Probably many years earlier than the Yao Shun era! ”
The criminal policeman stuck out his tongue and asked, "As far as I know, before the Han Dynasty, the ancients would only refine bronze utensils, and bronze things were very resistant to corrosion, let alone in such a place with extremely heavy humidity...... Not to mention thousands of years, even a few years ......"
The uncle smiled coldly: "You underestimate the ancients too much!" Bronze bells are not made of metals that we know, and this bronze smelting technique must have been lost a long time ago......"
"I see...... That's what my grandfather said back then. ”
The uncle glanced at the criminal policeman: "Your grandfather?" Why would your grandfather say such a thing!"
The detective smiled: "My grandfather was a locksmith, and now he is dead...... I heard him say it like...... It seems that more than 20 years ago, someone paid 50,000 yuan to ask him and a few other locksmiths to make a special lock and key, and they were locked up for three months......"
This plot is so familiar! I interrupted the detective's story: "Was your grandfather escorted to the boat first?" And then to a workshop? ”
The criminal policeman spread his hands towards me: "These grandfathers didn't talk about it, he only told me that those people asked them to follow the requirements of the drawings, and after the casting of those locks was completed, they were taken out, and then their bodies were searched all over their bodies, and they were ...... I didn't even spare underwear and socks...... One of them had a locksmith who had drawn a rough sketch and secretly hid it in his socks to take it out to remember, but he was found out......"
According to the criminal police's relay, 20 years ago, his grandfather was in his sixties and didn't want to take a job, but a month ago there was a fire at home and a lot of money was spent, and two weeks ago, the criminal policeman's father had an accidental car accident and fractured his left leg, and the driver who caused the accident died on the spot, so he couldn't pay the money...... The family was really short of money, so they agreed to follow them to do this work.
The journey was similar to what I had heard before, so I won't go into details, and after three or two months they completed the task.
On the night of the completion of the task, the middle-aged man who had brought them to the workshop appeared in front of them again and told everyone to leave immediately, and they were not allowed to bring anything with them.
In fact, everyone has long been there enough, because in addition to eating well, it is actually almost like going to prison.
But suddenly let go, I didn't even say hello before, and several people were not mentally prepared, and they all felt weird in their hearts.
When they were about to board the boat, the middle-aged man shouted to stop everyone and let several people in dark uniforms search their bodies next to each other.
These people were expressionless and did not say a word from beginning to end.
In general, a body search is conducted by one person to search several people, but this time it is three people to search one.
