Chapter 53: The Old Patriarch's Experience

When he saw us come in, the old patriarch beckoned to us and motioned for us to sit down. So, a few of us sat down around the table.

The old patriarch poured us a cup of tea one by one, and then asked straight to the point: "I saw the ability of a few people last night, it shouldn't be the people of the expedition team!" So who are you? What's the matter with coming to our village? ”

Suddenly hearing him ask, we were slightly stunned at first! Immediately, the fat man Qiao smiled and said, "Old patriarch, you can really laugh!" Of course we still ......."

Before he could finish speaking, the second uncle stopped him. said to the old village chief: "Ming people don't say secret words!" Now that you've seen it, Patriarch, I'll be honest with you! It is true that we are not expeditions. I came here because I wanted to see something. ”

"What's that?" The old patriarch seems to be interested in us.

"Seven Treasures Exquisite Coffin!" The second uncle said these words indifferently.

Hearing the second uncle's words, the old patriarch's face changed! said, "You actually know the Seven Treasures Exquisite Coffin?" ”

Hearing the old patriarch's words, the second uncle raised his eyes and looked at the old patriarch quietly, without speaking.

Qiao Fatzi said the words for the second uncle: "Okay! Patriarch, I didn't expect you, an ordinary person, to know about the Qibao exquisite coffin! Let's not beat around the bush. Tell me, which way are you? ”

Listening to Qiao Fatzi's words, the old patriarch sighed slightly and said, "Actually, I'm really just an ordinary person. The reason why I know about this Qibao exquisite coffin is because someone has told me that this thing is very terrifying! Whenever you see it, don't let it ashore lightly. Once you encounter the Seven Treasures Exquisite Coffin ashore, you must re-push it into the river at all costs. Otherwise, one side will inevitably die! Therefore, every time I encounter the Qibao exquisite coffin ashore, I have to ask someone to bow and knock it back into the river. However, I don't know what happened to this Qibao exquisite coffin recently. The frequency of occurrence is increasing! It also makes me scared and uneasy all day long! ”

Hearing this, I secretly glanced at the second uncle. He was still drinking tea with a blank face, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

I couldn't help but ask the old patriarch: "So, which master hasn't said how this matter should be resolved?" ”

The old patriarch nodded: "Said!" He had left a few words before leaving. If you want to solve this matter once and for all, you can only wait for the descendants of the deceased in the coffin of Qibao Linglong to come. Otherwise, the only thing we can do is send the coffin as a clumsy way! ”

Hearing this, the second uncle was slightly moved! I asked what the name of the master was.

The old patriarch shook his head and said, "I don't remember! These are all things that happened when I was younger. I was in my early twenties at the time. Fifty years have passed. However, I remember that he claimed to be a river official! Hesitation is a very interesting name, and I keep it in mind. ”

Hearing the words "river official", Qiao Fat Man smiled: "I'm!" Qiao Ye, I thought it was such a master! It turned out to be the descendant of the river whistle! ”

River whistle, also known as river officer! It is the most mysterious and least numerous of our five families! Because he walks on both sides of the Yellow River all year round. So, very little contact with people!

Listening to Qiao Fatzi's words, the old patriarch nodded hurriedly. Say, "Yes! Right! It's the river whistle! He said the same thing about himself back then. I knew your identity was not ordinary, and even this one was known! ”

"So where did he go? Is there a successor left? I asked.

The old patriarch shook his head and said, "I don't know about this!" After he left, he never came back. No news! ”

Hearing this, we all stopped talking.

The old patriarch said to us, "You want to find that Qibao exquisite coffin, so you must have a way to deal with it!" This can also untie a knot in my heart for so many years! However, I hope you will do me a favor. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "What's the busy?" ”

The old patriarch sighed faintly and said, "I still have to blame my youth for this matter!" ”

As he spoke, the old patriarch told us the following story!

Things have to start a few decades ago, when the old patriarch was in his twenties and had a strong spirit. Like other young people, they think about their own world all day long. However, the people of that era were just in time for the country's economic tension. Needless to say, making money, even eating is a problem. In addition, the old patriarch, their family is not rich. Therefore, he can only come out of the house and make ends meet on his own. With some skills taught to him by the previous river officer, he decided to become a scavenger on the riverbank!

The so-called "waste pickers" are, to put it bluntly, people who pick up things and sell them for money. In order to sound better and be respected, I gave myself such a name.

But the scavengers on both sides of the Yellow River are different from these people! First, the scavengers on both sides of the Yellow River are people with special skills.

The so-called "rolling on both sides of the Yellow River, a generation of scavenging and a generation of pride!" ”

It means that as long as you can be a scavenger on both sides of the Yellow River, then you will be a rich and noble person for the rest of your life and even future generations! The reason why I say this is precisely because there are too many precious treasures in this Yellow River. Once the big waves wash the sand, and anything washes on the shore, it is a priceless treasure!

However, not all of these treasures can be taken with them. This is the time to witness the skills of waste pickers!

A true waste picker first observes the shape of such an object to know its age, history, and market value. Also, feel its aura. Because those who know that everything that comes out of the Yellow River is very evil! Most people are afraid to handle it! After all, no one will do this fateful bargain!

At this time, it is up to the scavengers on both sides of the Yellow River to judge!

How to judge it exactly, then only those inside them can know. When they judged that the object could not be moved, they would immediately burn incense and worship it, and send it back to the river with a great gift. Even so, the scavenger would be seriously ill when he returned home! It can be as little as ten days and half a month, and as much as a year and a half. There is even a possibility of sudden death! Therefore, there are fewer and fewer real waste pickers on both sides of the Yellow River!

And when the old patriarch was young, it was because of greed. So, such a disaster was caused!

As I said before, when the old patriarch was young, his family was poor, and eating was a problem. Therefore, he traveled on both sides of the Yellow River all day long, specifically helping those who salvaged the treasures at the bottom of the Yellow River to see the good luck and evil of the objects.

At first, everyone thought he was just here to eat and drink. Just casually give a white-flour steamed bun or something. But later, because the old patriarch broke a murderous disaster for an old rich man at that time, he became famous for a while! Whoever looks at the objects in the whole area must ask him to come over and take a look, and others can't believe it at all!

In this way, the identity of the old patriarch has become noble! Even the rich man had to marry his own daughter to the old patriarch.

The old patriarch naturally accepted it gladly! Then, the two worshipped and got married. A few years later, she had four children. All tiger heads and tiger brains are very cute! It is precisely because of this that he gradually forgot the skills he learned from the river whistle!

Without this craft, the family would be cut off from their source of income. One comes and goes, and the family falls in the middle of the road. Hungry days again! The daughter-in-law's mother-in-law helped them from time to time. However, the old patriarch at that time was arrogant! Unwilling to accept favors from others!

So, I decided to go back out of the mountain!

It happened that a fisherman found a palm-sized piece of money jade when he went down to the river to fish. I don't know if it's good or bad! I didn't dare to keep it. Just run to the old patriarch to have a look!

The old patriarch looked at the crystal clear jade in his hand and knew that this was definitely a priceless treasure! But why can't you see this kind of treasure yourself?

Thinking about it, he suddenly had bad intentions! He said to the fisherman with a solemn face: "This jade is called the ghost king's fetus!" Legend has it that the Oni King was born with the Oni King when he was born. It's very angry! Once touched, it will either be dead or injured! Need to be disposed of right away! ”

Hearing this, the fisherman was shocked! Hurriedly begged the old patriarch to think of a way.

The old patriarch hesitated for a while, and then asked the fisherman to go back first, and he would make a big gift tonight to invite this piece of jade back. Wait until tomorrow morning, and there will be no problems!

Naturally, the fishermen left with a thousand thanks! But the old patriarch looked at the piece of jade in his hand excitedly, and his joy was beyond words!

But that night he had a dream!

In the dream, the fisherman returned. I came back and asked him for that piece of jade! Of course, the old patriarch would not agree to him! However, the fisherman said coldly: "That piece of jade is not clean inside!" Whoever takes it will die a miserable death! If you don't send that piece of jade back quickly, one of your people will die every few years. Until you die! ”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed his head in order to confirm his words. Then, he ripped his head off his neck so hard!

It was only at this time that the old patriarch finally woke up!

Look at the sky outside, it's already daylight! The old patriarch was going to find someone who understood and sold the piece of jade in his hand for a good price.

However, not long after he walked out of the house, he heard the news of the fisherman's death! It is said that the fishermen were killed at home! I don't know what kind of beast it is, but it actually ripped off the fisherman's head......
