Chapter 16: Death

Although the water has receded, there are still things washed down from the upstream, and it is not surprising that such porcelain altars appeared.

He Quan's expression was extremely solemn. He can even cut off the head of a floating corpse, and he is not afraid of a porcelain altar.

It's just that when he saw the porcelain altar, a smile appeared on Cao Xi's face.

The porcelain altar seemed to have eyes, floating directly towards He Quan.

I suddenly felt that something was wrong, because He Quan was in the upstream position, while the porcelain altar was floating from downstream to upstream, more like something holding it underneath.

Seeing this scene, even Uncle Chen couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's dead!" ”

His face turned ugly.

I heard my grandfather say that in the Liao River, there is nothing to be afraid of ordinary corpses. Even if the corpse that has absorbed the evil qi becomes a floating corpse, it can be dealt with.

After a few days of soaking in water, ordinary corpses usually float to the surface slowly because of the swelling of their bodies.

Deadfall, on the other hand, is always in a standing position in the water, and can even walk with the current.

In some dry rivers, I can often see rows of footprints, and my grandfather told me that they were left behind by death, and when I saw this kind of thing, I quickly hid away.

Just like He Quan, floating corpses don't pose any threat to him, but death is different.

Even king-level figures like Grandpa and Taiye have to avoid it when they see it, and they are not sure that they can deal with it.

Although He Quan has some skills, there is still a gap between him and his grandfather and grandfather.

He Quan has been begging for a living in the river all year round, and he has probably seen death fall, even if he can't surrender it, it should be no problem to escape, but he has never seen a death holding something.

Only those who die with a deep grudge will always put on their heads what is very important to them. This kind of death is even more evil, and encountering it is simply a life of nine deaths.

Chen Bo said in a low voice, "When encountering this kind of death, unless one of its wishes is fulfilled. Otherwise, once it gets touched, it won't let him go. Listen to your grandfather, many years ago, he encountered one of these dead down. ”

When I heard his words, I was stunned, because my grandfather had never mentioned it to me. If you want to fulfill your wish to die, you have to open what it is holding to see what it is holding.

Hearing Uncle Chen's words, I became even more curious and asked, "What kind of wish did grandpa fulfill for that dead person?" ”

Uncle Chen turned his head and glanced at Liu Dehai. It seems that he doesn't want our words to be heard by him.

He whispered, "The dead man your grandfather met had a bronze coffin more than a meter long on his head. ”

"And this kind of thing?" I wondered even more.

Since grandpa can survive, it means that death has let him go, so grandpa must have fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

I asked, "Has Grandpa seen what's in the coffin?" ”

Hearing my question, Uncle Chen's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Now is not the time to tell you about this, I will tell you when the time is right." ”

After saying that, his eyes fell on the river again, and since he refused to say, I didn't want to ask more.

At this time, the porcelain altar had drifted in front of He Quan,

He Quan's body floated in the water, and his expression was unusually solemn. He gripped the black dagger tightly in one hand.

Of course, he knew the horror of dying, and although he could cut off the head of a floating corpse, he was not sure that he could deal with a dead one.

He leaned back against the boat, his eyes staring at the porcelain altar that was slowly drifting by.

Under the porcelain altar, there is a pair of miserable white hands supporting it. The dead body was hidden under the water, and He Quan could only see the hands.

He Quan's brain was spinning rapidly, and the hand holding the dagger was trembling slightly.

He fished up one corpse, and the location of the other two bodies was clearly visible when he was underwater.

400,000 yuan is a handy thing for him, but he didn't expect that a dead one appeared in front of him.

Of course he didn't want to help it fulfill his wish, and who knows what death would make him do?

But he knew better that if he was angry and died, then the end would definitely be very miserable.

He was hesitating, the porcelain altar had floated in front of him, and was floating up and down with the waves.

He Quan had mixed feelings, he had seen with his own eyes those who had offended and died, and their bodies were torn into several pieces and floated on the water.

He gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, then put his hand on the porcelain altar.

The strange thing is that there was a lot of wind and waves on the water, but the porcelain altar seemed to be heavier than a thousand jun, and as his hand was put up, it did not move.

On top of the porcelain altar, there is a lid made of golden silk nanmu.

The porcelain altar seems to have been stored in water for a long time, covered with moss, and at the same time a fishy smell comes to the face.

After begging for a life in the Liaohe River for decades, He Quan has never been so frightened.

If he knew that he would encounter such a fatal thing, he would rather not have those hundreds of thousands. But now I want to regret it, it's too late.

He lifted the lid of the altar and looked inside.

It was noon, the sun was bright, and he could see what was inside.

We all watched him with bated breath.

He Quan's face suddenly became bloodless, and he released his hand violently, and the lid of the porcelain altar was covered again.

He swam straight to the shore like crazy. I don't know what he's seen, and even his mind has become dull.

He didn't get on the boat, but swam straight to the shore.

He was so fast that he was like a big fish, and the waves were rolling behind him at a rapid pace. He Quan also played with his life.

At the same time, I saw a huge whirlpool emerge around the altar, and the altar disappeared as if it had sunk to the bottom of water.

Liu Dehai wiped his sweat and shouted at He Quan, "Lao He, hurry up!" ”

He Quan exerted all his strength, and saw that it was only a few feet away from the shore.

At this moment, his body sank directly to the bottom of the water as if it had been hit by a large stone.

He Quan waved desperately to the shore, shouting in his mouth, "Save me!" ”

It's just that before he finished speaking, he had already sunk, and everyone only saw a series of bubbles coming out of the water.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and then they involuntarily took a few steps back.

No one could have imagined that He Quan, who could easily handle even floating corpses, would have no power to fight back in the face of death.

In just a few seconds, everyone saw blood gushing up from under the water.

At the same time, He Quan's miserable white corpses also floated to the surface of the water and drifted downstream along the current.

At that time, someone squatted on the ground and vomited profusely.

Liu Dehai's face turned pale, his body shook a few times, if he hadn't been held up by Liu Yuankui, it is estimated that he would have fallen to the ground.

The last bit of hope is also gone, it seems that the fate of the Liu family is doomed, and no one can save them.

At this time, the river rushed to the surface of the water, and the porcelain altar emerged from the water again.

It paused for a moment, then drifted towards the pillar, and quickly disappeared from view.

Uncle Chen wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "There are dead people who are standing there, and no one can get close to those stone pillars." ”

I wondered, "What's in the porcelain jar?" Why was He Quan scared like that? ”

Uncle Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe only He Quan knows." I guess the people who knew about it were already dead. ”

As the porcelain altar sank into the water, He Quan's small boat spun with the current, and then slowly drifted towards the stone pillar, and finally crashed into the stone pillar, sinking towards the water along with Liu Yuanhua's body.

Liu Dehai gritted his teeth angrily, seeing that he was about to succeed, but the result was still in vain.

He weakly held Liu Yuankui's shoulder.

Liu Yuankui and Liu Yuanhui were also frightened enough, and asked, "Dad, what should I do?" ”

Liu Dehai said helplessly, "We can't solve this matter." I can only go to the ancestor to find a way. ”

He turned his head to look at me, and then said to Liu Yuankui, "Instead of letting our Liu family die, it's better to find a substitute for the dead ghost!" ”

Hearing his words, Uncle Chen's face became very ugly.

The five water ghosts invited by Liu Dehai were all wiped out, and none of them went ashore alive.

After this incident, the people in the village stayed away from the Liaohe River, and no one even dared to go fishing.

Liu Dehai, supported by his son, walked towards the village.

Uncle Chen and I followed behind the crowd. I asked Uncle Chen, "Who are the ancestors they are talking about?" How come I've never seen one? ”

Uncle Chen frowned, looked preoccupied, and said to me, "He is Liu Dehai's grandfather, named Liu Wenbin." He didn't live in the village, and if this incident alarmed him, it would be very difficult to deal with it. ”

Liu Dehai is already in his fifties, isn't his grandfather nearly a hundred years old?

Chen Bo said, "Chao'er, why don't you leave the village." I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my grandfather's instructions. ”

I don't know why he said that. I shook my head and said, "Cao Xi told me that I already have the evil aura of carp in my body, and even if I leave the village, it will be a dead end. ”

Uncle Chen sighed slightly and told me, "It is estimated that Liu Wenbin will meet you soon." You have to remember that no matter what he says, you don't promise him. ”

When we returned to the village, Liu Dehai and his four brothers drove away from the village, and they must have gone to see Liu Wenbin.

The Liu family has reached a critical juncture of life and death, and it is estimated that if it is delayed any longer, the lives of Liu Dehai's two sons will not be saved.

In the evening, there was a roar of cars and a car pulled up in front of my house.

Liu Yuankui got out of the car and went straight into the yard. I greeted him. Liu Yuankui said with a calm face, "You come with me, my grandfather wants to see you." ”

I got into the car with Liu Yuankui, and to my surprise, Chen Bo was also in the car. He whispered, "Remember what I told you." ”
