Chapter 27: The Five Elements Bureau
Xin Hongyuan's face was full of smugness. He seemed to have some knowledge of what was inside the iron box.
Seeing that the person above has disappeared from view. Xin Hongyuan said in a low voice, "Do you think that I really came to this place where rabbits don't poop to help the Liu family?" ”
I snorted, this guy really had something else in mind. I said lightly, "Actually, I already knew that you were paying attention to the iron box." ”
Xin Hongyuan said, "The things in the iron box have a strong effect on repelling evil spirits, and I got my hands on it, just to resist the evil qi in the eyes of the river." ”
I suddenly understood that he was more ambitious, and he actually came for something in the eyes of the river.
"This bastard's appetite is really big!" I cursed, but still asked, "What is there in the river's eye that interests you so much?" ”
Xin Hongyuan sneered and said, "That's something that everyone wants." It's just that no one is immune to the evil spirit there. After many inquiries, we learned that your grandfather has already thought of a solution. The contents of the iron box were originally prepared for the descendants of the Shen family, but they ended up making us wedding dresses. ”
When he said this, the smug look on his face was even worse. At this time, the stone steps had come to an end, and a large space appeared in front of them.
It's just that the space is empty, and there is nothing at all.
Xin Hongyuan's flashlight shone into the air, and I found that there was a rusty iron box hanging more than two meters above the ground.
Several wrist-thick chains hung from the air, wrapping the iron box firmly. The sound of the fish's tail slapping against the water came from the iron box.
Xin Hongyuan stared greedily at the iron box, and his saliva was about to flow out.
He told me to walk under the iron box, then reached down and grabbed a hanging chain.
He was just about to climb up, but suddenly as if he had thought of something, he said to me, "You go up first!" ”
I said angrily, "My hands are tied, how can I get up?" ”
Xin Hongyuan said, "I can't escape if you forgive you!" "He helped me untie the rope and then watched me from below. He told me to climb up the chains.
The iron box hung in mid-air, and when I pulled the chains, it shook and rattled.
Seeing that I climbed up, Xin Hongyuan also climbed up.
On top of the iron box, there was a large rusty lock, the size of a palm.
Because no one has opened it for a long time, it has been rusted to death.
Xin Hongyuan took out the scimitar and measured it twice on the lock.
His scimitar was unusually sharp, and it wasn't too hard to cut through such a rusty lock.
But just as he raised the scimitar, and before he could cut it, the iron box suddenly shook violently.
Even Xin Hongyuan was frightened and whispered, "There are living creatures in the box!" ”
This is a little incredible, because the box was fished up by the grandfather, and it has been hanging here for decades, and it has never been opened. Even if there were living creatures, it would have starved to death a long time ago.
Xin Hongyuan hesitated slightly, but still raised the scimitar and slashed at the lock.
With a clang, the lock was cut off by him, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Xin Hongyuan held the scimitar in his hand and said to me fiercely, "Open the box!" ”
I glared at him, this guy is really cowardly. But being forced by the other party with a bright scimitar, I have no choice.
I had to use both hands to grasp the lid of the iron box, and then lift it upwards with force.
Because it hadn't been opened for years, the box was rusted to death, and it was very difficult to lift it.
I tried my best to finally find a gap in the top of the box, I lifted the lid, and then ducked to the side.
To my surprise, there was no movement in the box.
Xin Hongyuan shone a flashlight into the box, his face was full of excitement, as if he had seen a baby. "I've finally found you!" ”
I also poked my head out and glanced into the box, only to see that the box was full of water.
Although all these years have passed, the water is still crystal clear, and there is a red figure at the bottom of the water, which looks like a fish. Two long tentacles floated slowly at the bottom of the water.
In fact, I've been wondering, the box and the water inside are hundreds of catties, and I don't know how the grandfather transported it to the shore.
I widened my eyes and looked closely, and then I could see that it was a red carp that had sunk to the bottom.
It is slightly smaller than the carp, and its whole body is blood-red.
Because of the carp thing, when I saw this kind of carp with a red body, my scalp was numb.
Xin Hongyuan didn't care about me anymore, but put his hand into the box.
With a snap, the huge red fishtail fanned in the water, and a large cloud of water splashed out of the box.
Although it has been locked up for so many years, the carp is still very energetic.
Xin Hongyuan said with a smile, "The feng shui here is very good, and the aura in the water is very heavy, so it can always survive." ”
It's just that I'm even more puzzled that the grandfather actually used such a carp to deter the evil spirit in the river's eyes. I didn't find anything special about it.
Seeing the puzzled look on my face, Xin Hongyuan smiled and said, "You don't understand this." The carp that is older in the year has a treasure called carp pill in its body. Your grandfather is really not simple, he can actually catch such a carp with aura, and use it to deter evil spirits. ”
The iron box was made by the master from the eye of the river, and perhaps at that time, the carp was in this iron box. It was because he entered the river eye and was contaminated with evil qi that the grandfather lost his life.
I asked him, "What are you going to do?" ”
Xin Hongyuan said, "I'm going to get the carp pill in my hands and use it to deal with the dead first." With such a good evil relic, not to mention dying, even if you go to the eye of the river, you will be unharmed. ”
Xin Hongyuan held the scimitar and stabbed at the carp. With a snort, the scimitar ran out of handle, and a stream of blood came out of the carp's body.
The carp suddenly jumped more than a meter high and jumped out of the iron box.
The chains shook violently, and the carp fell to the ground with a thud, splashing a large cloud of dirt.
Xin Hongyuan's reaction was very fast, and he jumped to the ground after him.
He swung his scimitar and slashed at the carp.
After a while, the carp was pierced with countless blood holes, and it struggled a few times before it stopped moving.
I followed him closely and jumped from above.
Xin Hongyuan had already opened the carp's belly, and the carp's internal organs flowed out. Xin Hongyuan put his hand into the carp's stomach and pulled something inside.
After a while, he withdrew his hand from the fish's belly.
In his hand was a pigeon-egg-sized, silver-white bead, which was the carp pill he was looking for.
He ecstatically wiped the blood from the carp pill and put it in his pocket.
He turned to me and said, "You'd better get acquainted, your life is in my hands." If you want your life, it's just a matter of my words. I'm not going to let you die so easily, I'm going to let you see for yourself how I wiped out. ”
Xin Hongyuan forced me with a dagger and walked up the stone steps.
Liu Dehai and others were anxiously waiting on it. Seeing Xin Hongyuan's happy face, he knew that the matter had been done.
They all gathered around, and Xin Hongyuan said, "The matter of death is wrapped up in me." From today onwards, there will be no more events in the village. ”
Hearing his words, Uncle Chen frowned. Xin Hongyuan was obviously fooling the villagers, and the things used by the River Temple to suppress evil qi were taken away by him, and the villagers were not far from the catastrophe.
The father and son of the Liu family believed that they really surrounded him and regarded him as a savior.
Xin Hongyuan looked complacent, and according to what he said, if he could solve the problem of death, the villagers would trust him more. When he goes to Heyan, the villagers will definitely help.
This guy's wishful thinking is quite good.
It was already noon, and after leaving the River Temple, Xin Hongyuan began to prepare for the elimination of the dead.
Uncle Chen said to me, "There is a habit in death, she always takes one path. When I enter the village this time, I will definitely take the same road I came to yesterday. ”
Xin Hongyuan also knows her habit and is already ready for this road.
He was very careful, because he knew that death was very fierce, and if he was not careful, not only would he not be able to get rid of her, but he would also have to put his own life on the line.
Xin Hongyuan did have some ability, he found five wooden pillars more than one zhang high, and one person hugged the thick and thin wooden pillars. There are five kinds of materials: willow, poplar, locust tree, cypress, and pine tree, which are erected around the path according to the direction of the five elements.
Chen Bo told me that this kind of feng shui bureau is called the Five Elements Bureau, and it has a strong restraint effect on death.
Xin Hongyuan is just waiting for death to come, and he will do a big job!
