Chapter 5: Rivereye
I hurriedly retreated to Uncle Chen's side, and Uncle Chen's expression was very calm.
With a pop, the corpse's mouth was abruptly propped open, and a puddle of turbid water spurted out of his mouth. A black thing jumped out of his mouth.
As soon as the thing hit the bed, it kept beating. Only then did I realize that it was actually a carp covered in black scales.
It was about the size of a fist, and its scales shimmered in the light.
I've never seen this carp before, so I walked over with some confusion.
Chen Bo said in a deep voice, "Be careful! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the black carp suddenly jumped up, its mouth open, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit at my finger like lightning.
Hearing Uncle Chen's reminder, I hurriedly stepped back.
The black carp jumped up more than a meter high, bit into the air at once, and landed on the bed again, its blood-red eyes glaring at me viciously.
Uncle Chen shook his head silently and said, "I guessed right, everything was caused by that red carp. It is made from the evil energy of the red carp. ”
Uncle Chen spoke in a very small voice, but the people around him could still hear it clearly. Most of the people present have eaten fish, so do they all have this kind of fish in their bodies?
Wouldn't that soon end up like Liu Yuanshuang?
Liu Dehai walked over with a frown and asked, "Brother Chen, what do you say you should do?" ”
Chen Bo said, "The red carp has an aura, and its resentment is very heavy. The only way to do that is to beg it to let you go. ”
"What do you say, and we'll do it." Liu Dehai said, "No matter how much money it costs, I am willing." ”
Chen Bo said coldly, "Lao Liu, do you think you can do anything if you have money?" Money can't solve this problem! ”
Liu Dehai was arrogant when he thought about it, and no one dared to talk to him like this. But now that he has something to ask Uncle Chen, he doesn't dare to get angry.
Chen Bo said, "I can only try my best to help you. I'm not sure if I can solve the problem. ”
Liu Dehai nodded silently. Chen Bo said, "Do you still have the bones of that fish?" ”
Liu Dehai hesitated for a moment and said, "When making a whole fish feast, because the carp was too long, the fish bones were chopped into several pieces and buried under the peach tree behind the house. ”
Uncle Chen instructed, "Send someone to dig up the fish bones." Then I found an iron basin and put the black carp in it. You all come with me. ”
Liu Yuanhua found an iron basin and carefully put the black carp in it. The black carp is extremely ferocious, and it keeps jumping in the iron basin, but because the iron basin is so deep, it can't jump out at all.
At this time, Liu Yuancai had already led people to dig out the fish bones. The bones were cut into several pieces, and together they were more than two feet long, which was also a large pile.
When I saw the fish bones stacked in the bamboo basket, I subconsciously leaned towards Uncle Chen.
The bones had turned jet black, and even the dirt around the peach trees had turned black. But within a few hours, the fruit-bearing peach tree withered.
According to what Uncle Chen said, all of this was caused by the evil spirit of the black carp, no wonder Liu Yuanshuang died so miserably.
Chen Bo asked Liu Dehai to clean the soil on the fish bones by himself, and asked people to carry the bamboo basket and the iron basin to the direction of the river temple.
Almost everyone in the village came with them, because their safety was at stake.
Uncle Chen walked with me in front of the crowd, and he didn't speak all the way.
I asked in a low voice, "Uncle Chen, even if the red carp has an aura, it won't become so terrifying, right?" Could it be that anyone who has eaten fish and meat will die like Liu Yuanshuang? ”
Chen Bo lowered his voice and said, "This matter is even more serious than I imagined, the evil qi in the red carp's body is very heavy. ”
Seeing the puzzled look on my face, Uncle Chen explained to me, "The Liao River stretches for thousands of miles, do you know why the red carp swims to the eye of the river? ”
Uncle Chen's words stopped me, I never thought about this question.
Chen Bo was silent for a while and continued, "Do you know why someone used the Five Ghosts to divide the corpse Feng Shui Bureau to trap the river eye? ”
Hearing his words, I looked at Uncle Chen in surprise.
Five stone pillars lead to the bottom of the river, and the part that exposes the river surface is more than ten zhang high. If this is done by manpower, it must be a very huge project, and I don't know how powerful people need to do it.
Uncle Chen smiled bitterly and said, "That feng shui bureau was deliberately set up by someone. It was a pattern of fighting poison with poison, and the purpose was to lock the evil qi in the river's eyes. If they are allowed to spread out, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
That's when I realized.
Chen Bo continued, "One of the characteristics of evil qi is that the weaker evil qi will always gather towards the stronger evil qi mass. As more and more evil qi gathers, it will finally be able to break through the shackles of the Feng Shui Bureau. ”
I understood a little and asked, "Could it be that the red carp was attracted by the evil aura in the river's eyes?" ”
Uncle Chen nodded and said, "You guessed it right." So when they caught the red carp, I felt that it was inappropriate. But the Liu family is so domineering, no one can stop them. They were punished, but they were punished for themselves. That's why I don't let you eat fish. ”
Thinking of the pieces of fish meat that were forcibly stuffed into the mouth by Liu Yuanshuang's brothers, my face immediately became very ugly.
Seeing that my face was wrong, Uncle Chen asked me, "What's wrong?" ”
I told him about being forced to eat fish.
Uncle Chen said helplessly, "The Liu family is really not a thing, knowing that they will not end well, they still have to pull others as backs." ”
He stopped talking, as if searching for a solution. After a while, he said, "You have been living with me for the past few days, and you will follow me every step of the way." ”
I promised, and Uncle Chen's expression was very solemn. Not only me, but all the people who have eaten fish and meat are nervous, and they are also waiting for Uncle Chen to find a way.
At this time, it was already at the gate of the River Temple.
Uncle Chen said, "When your grandfather built the River Temple, it was used to suppress the evil spirit in the eyes of the river. I hope that the river god can dispel the evil spirit of the red carp. ”
Although everyone usually respects the River Temple, this time it is related to their lives, and no one dares not to come.
The outside of the river temple was full of people, and Liu Dehai had a calm face and led his four sons to guard the door.
Uncle Chen and I entered the River Temple together.
I glanced up at the statue of the river god and was surprised to find that the statue I had been intact the last time I had come had a thin crack in its forehead. The statue seemed to be about to crack in the middle.
Uncle Chen also saw it, and he frowned and said, "This matter is very tricky. The evil aura in the eyes of the river is getting heavier and heavier, and even the river temple is about to be unable to stop it. ”
Puzzled, I asked, "What happens if the River Temple doesn't work?" ”
Uncle Chen sighed and said, "When the time comes, don't think that there will be a single person in the village who can survive, including you and me!" ”
I never thought it would be so serious. Chen Bo said with a straight face, "I can only do my best." In the end, only you can decide! ”
