Chapter 55: The Kingdom of Qulai

After the old man approached, he looked around a few times, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around and asked everyone if they had any old vinegar, preferably old vinegar from Shanxi.

This is on the Yellow River, who the hell patrols the river and still carries old vinegar? Naturally, there was no, and the person in charge of leading the team at that time was also calm, so he asked the old fisherman what he wanted the old vinegar to do.

"Without old vinegar, this thing can't come down!"

The old man replied.

Quickly asked someone to buy two bottles. During this period, the devil who was lying on Lao Hu's corpse occasionally squirmed, but he always sucked tightly on the corpse's back, and the people around him were just far away, and no one dared to approach.

bought old vinegar, the old man commanded, let all the people sprinkle it on the corpse of Lao Hu, and asked people to prepare fishing nets and stoves. He said that he still heard his grandfather talk about this method, but it was the second time he had seen the devil when he lived so big, and he didn't know if it was useful.

A minute later, the devil began to move violently, and as expected, he let go of the body.

The old man caught it in a net, and then put it in the stove to burn, and the baby-like scream of the strange fish at that time made Li Guozhi remember it very clearly now.

What he remembered even more was that after burning for a few minutes, the strange smell that permeated the air, like rotten meat and feces, could be smelled within ten miles and eight miles nearby.

According to the old fisherman, it was burned for more than half an hour, until the strange fish turned black and burned, and some black-brown liquid flowed out of it, and then it stopped.

The stench lingered until the next afternoon, when it gradually dissipated.

As for why they did this, the old fishermen only secretly told the people who led the team at the police station at that time, and then they endured the stench and continued to count the cultural relics.

There are many cultural relics, and most of them are strangely shaped bronzes, which also attracted their attention, and they quickly reported to the cultural relics department as soon as possible.

It was a few old men from the Qilu Museum, after they saw these cultural relics, they shouted three "oh my God" in a row, and then buried their heads for half an hour, and the conclusion was: This is a batch of cultural relics of the ancient Lai Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it has just come out of the "water".

They judged that the people on the boat were tomb robbers, and that there was a mysterious ancient tomb somewhere in the Yellow River.

At that time, Li Guozhi and they had not heard of Gulai Kingdom, but they only knew that there were two ancient countries in Shandong during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period: Qi State and Lu State, so naturally they did not pay much attention to it, who knew that more than a dozen people came from the province and city the next day, and they also called the police station and Li Guozhi at that time.

After listening to the two old men, they had a preliminary understanding of this country of Gulai.

Speaking of which, this is a very mysterious ancient country, according to the available information, the ancient Lai country was built by the Jiuli clan, and the Jiuli clan has a very powerful character in history.

Some scholars have analyzed that the ancient Lai country was built by the remaining part of the people after the Dongyi tribe where Chi You was defeated by the Yanhuang tribe, and suddenly disappeared in the middle of the Warring States period, which has a history of about 1,500 years from beginning to end.

If these cultural relics really come from a tomb of the Qurai Kingdom, then its significance is not only the cultural relics themselves, but also the tombs of the Qu Rai Kingdom may even be found, and then the veil of the Qu Rai Kingdom can be revealed.

The discovery of this batch of cultural relics has another important significance, that is, to solve why the ancient tombs of Gulai have not been found for thousands of years, and several old men of the Qi State Museum speculated that their tombs are not on land, but underwater.

For this reason, a group was set up to include Li Guozhi and a few others, after all, no one is more familiar with the Yellow River in this area than them.

Soon they locked down an area and basically concluded that it was the burial area of the Qulai Kingdom, and who knew that the bad news had begun.

In less than a year, two-thirds of the people involved in this operation died, and the cause of death was still very peculiar, all of them were so sudden that they went crazy, and their strength was still so great that no one could control it, and as a result, some fell into the water and drowned, and some were hit by cars and died.

Even many of their families have suffered from this strange disease, with dozens of casualties.

This incident was a sensation, of course, the rumors back then were also varied, and the mainstream theory still provoked the king of the Yellow River. Due to the situation, the operation was cancelled.

At that time, Li Guozhi's twin sons had just been born, and his daughter-in-law was also gentle and beautiful, he was stubborn by nature, and he didn't believe in these ghosts and gods at all, so he didn't take it seriously.

As they spoke, it was another year of hard work, and they got acquainted with one of the museum's security guards and learned a huge secret, the security guard said that the museum was often sent some strange things, which were hidden in the warehouse, and from time to time foreigners would appear in the museum.

It took a few more months for Li Guozhi to obtain two ledgers, which recorded several tomb robberies and the process of smuggling cultural relics, and he handed over one of them to the relevant departments at a higher level, who knew that he received an anonymous letter that night, and there was only one line in the letter: Don't be nosy, otherwise the whole family will die.

A few days later, he took his wife and children to fish on the Yellow River, caught a few Yellow River carp that day, and his daughter-in-law made fish soup, who knew that he got a strange disease that night, and after a few days, his whole body began to fester, and then died one after another.

At this moment, he received a second letter, which also contained only one sentence: Your parents, brother, sister, nephew, and niece, a total of thirteen.

It's a threat! Li Guozhi was heartbroken and wanted to find this person...... Even if a life is worth a life, he also understands that this person's strength should not be underestimated, since he can make her wife and children die of illness, I am afraid that he can also kill his relatives.

After struggling inwardly for a few days, reason told him that he had to endure this for the sake of his parents and older siblings......

Li Guozhi couldn't accept the fact that his wife and children died tragically, and the psychological pressure was extremely high for a while, so he found someone to customize a king-size coffin, and asked someone to do a special waterproof treatment inside the coffin, and then used antiseptics and formalin to preserve the bodies of his wife and children.

Every time he thought about them, Li Guozhi slept with them on the coffin, and even brought a bowl of food to the coffin before every meal......

After saying this, I let out a long sigh, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

"Brother, I was going to say this...... Brother's life is miserable! Our children are not yet four years old...... I didn't dare to contact my parents and relatives all these years, that is, ...... It's for fear that they will be poisoned. ”

After saying that, he began to cry.

The hard cry was the most touching, I poured him full of wine, and gritted my teeth: "Brother Zhi, so that's the case...... Then you haven't thought about avenging your sister-in-law and nephew all these years? ”

Li Guozhi wiped away his tears, and took another sip of the wine in the cup: "Why didn't you think about it!" I dreamed of it, but ...... But then another strange thing happened. ”
