Chapter 596: Manipulating the Water Ghost
Because the dozen or so people didn't catch the fish, Zhao Laofu'er had to row the boat to catch the fish himself.
I was going to go with him. However, he was stopped by Zhao Laofu'er.
After there was really no way, I could only wait for him here.
At this time, the Heavenly Maiden couldn't help but ask me, "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with Zhao Lao'er?" ”
Hearing the words of the Celestial Maiden, I nodded and said, "That's right! I feel that there is something very wrong with the person in front of me. He shouldn't just be as simple as the Yangtze River Dragon Locker. There must be some secret hidden in him! Moreover, he seems to have something to do with the two ghosts that haunt Zhao Dongqiang and his family. However, this is only my suspicion, and I will slowly find out the specific situation. ”
Hearing me say this, the Heavenly Maiden didn't speak, just stared at me with a smile on her face.
After seeing the appearance of the Heavenly Maiden, I was slightly stunned. couldn't help but ask her, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
The Celestial Maiden smiled and said, "Because I like the way you are so serious." ”
Hearing what the Heavenly Maiden said, I held her hand tightly and said to her, "If I solve the matter of burying the soul again and don't die yet, are you willing to live an ordinary life with me for the rest of your life?" From now on, we will not interfere in anything that happens in this world. All right? ”
Hearing my words, the Celestial Maiden tilted her head and asked me, "Is this a disguised confession of you?" ”
Suddenly hearing the Heavenly Maiden say this, I didn't know what to say for a while. If it's really a confession. However, now that I am so empty-handed, it seems that something is not good. And if not, then what I'm saying now is from the bottom of my heart.
After seeing my embarrassed appearance, the Celestial Maiden couldn't help but laugh again. Even though we've been together for so long. However, her words and smiles, every move can still make me obsessed with watching.
After seeing that I had become this obsession again, the smile of the goddess became even sweeter.
He said softly to me, "I just like your stupid look!" ”
When he said that, I didn't know what to say for a moment. However, the Celestial Maiden quickly restrained her smile. He said to me, "However, I can tell you now that I will be by your side for the rest of my life." If you come back alive, the two of us will not care about the world and will be free for the rest of our lives. If you are crippled, I will raise you for the rest of your life. Besides, if something does happen to you, then I'll go with you. Anyway, I must go to the Yin Yang Stream this time! ”
Hearing the words of the Heavenly Maiden, I didn't know what to say for a while. In addition to being moved, I was still moved.
So, I couldn't help but take the goddess in my arms.
Time seems to stand still, and at this moment, there are only two people left in my world, me and the Heavenly Maiden. Now I just want to solve all the things in front of me quickly. Then, just like this, I will be with the Celestial Maiden forever.
I don't know how long it was, but the Celestial Maiden suddenly broke free from my arms.
"What's wrong?"
I couldn't help but bow my head and ask the Celestial Maiden.
The Celestial Maiden stretched out her hand and pointed ahead. Then he said to me, "Look, he's back." ”
As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but quickly raise my head and look ahead.
As I took a look, I saw Zhao Laofu'er rowing a small fishing boat alone, approaching us little by little.
After seeing this, I couldn't help but frown. Because Zhao Laofu'er gave me the feeling that he didn't row at all at this time. However, the boat under his feet was like a sharp sword, and it quickly rowed towards us.
It was as if under the calm river, there seemed to be some mysterious force dragging Zhao Lao'er's boat and approaching us.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Maiden couldn't help but glance at me. Then, in a low voice, he said, "Now I agree with you. There is really something wrong with this Zhao Laofu'er! ”
I didn't speak, just silently turned on the sun and moon together.
As soon as I opened the sun and moon with the same glow, I immediately saw that at this moment, there were four water ghosts in white clothes under Zhao Lao'er's boat, dragging his small fishing boat, swimming towards us one by one.
Zhao Lao Fu'er is a dragon locker in the Yangtze River, and he specializes in dealing with these water ghosts. So, it is only natural that he can now harness these water ghosts to approach us.
Soon, Zhao Laofu'er has come to our eyes. Then, with a bend down, he grabbed a big fish from the boat.
It's just that this kind of fish should only be found in the Yangtze River, and I have never seen it.
As soon as they saw that Zhao Laofu'er had actually caught the fish alive, the surrounding villagers shouted one by one. It was as if they had caught the fish with their own hands.
But Zhao Laofu'er didn't say much, just came to us with the fish. Then, he said to us, "Alright, this live fish has arrived." We should go now! ”
Hearing Zhao Lao'er's words, I nodded. Then, he followed him towards Zhao Dongqiang's house.
At this time, Zhao Dongqiang's family had already been prepared. Just because there are no live fish sacrifices. So, the funeral has not yet begun.
After we returned, Zhao Lao'er handed over the fish to the village chief.
The village chief took the fish and looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he carried the fish and threw him into Zhao An's coffin.
The fish began to slap its tail in Zhao An's coffin, making a "bang" sound.
I don't know what they mean by doing this, but if it were somewhere else, it would obviously be disturbing the dead. So, I couldn't help but come to Zhao Lao'er's side and asked him in a low voice: "Uncle Zhao, why did you throw the fish into the coffin?" Isn't that important? ”
Hearing my question, Zhao Laofu'er explained: "We live on the edge of the Yangtze River, and these people live by fishing all day and night. In this life, I don't know how many fish have died in our hands. There is a legend that people on both sides of us know. That is, the fish in this river are the children and grandchildren of the dragon king of the river. We have killed the children and grandchildren of the Dragon Lord, how can the Dragon Lord go around us? Therefore, he will deliberately make things difficult for us in the water when we die. When Yin cha picks up our souls across the river, the Dragon Lord will drag our souls from the river to the water, making it impossible for us to be reincarnated. can only become a lonely and helpless water ghost in this river, immersed in this cold river water for eternity, and suffer a lot. ”
Hearing Zhao Laofu'er say this, I couldn't help but ask: "So, can you take this fish to crack this legend that is similar to a curse?" ”
Hearing me ask, Zhao Laofu'er nodded and said, "You're right, as long as our people by the river threw a live fish into the coffin when they died." Then, the breath of the dead man will merge with the fish inside the coffin. When the soul crosses the river, you can also stand on the body of the fish and leave it.
First, even if the Dragon Lord wants to embarrass us, he will let us go for the sake of that fish. ”
Hearing Zhao Laofu'er say this, I couldn't help but ask him: "Do you also believe in this legend?" ”
After listening to my question, Zhao Laofu'er couldn't help but sigh. Then, he said to me, "It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, the important thing is that this legend has been passed down in this village for hundreds of years." Moreover, every generation has also done it according to this custom. You can't just force yourself to change it when you come to me, right? Even I knew I was doing the right thing. However, after I die, I am asked by my ancestors and ancestors, how should I explain it? “
Hearing what Zhao Lao Fu'er said, I also nodded. I don't know what to say.
And while I was talking to Zhao Lao'er, those who helped had already lit firecrackers. and mourning sounded. In just an instant, my ears were full of gibble sounds, which made my head "buzz".
Because the people of the entire Zhaojiazhuang are their own family. Therefore, no matter how Zhao Dongqiang and his family get along with other people, there are still some elders who come to see Zhao An for the last time at this time.
In fact, they saw it in vain, after all, there was no body in Zhao An's coffin now. It's just a set of clothes that Zhao An usually wears.
However, after those elders glanced at the coffin, they couldn't help but scream.
Suddenly seeing their appearance, I was also slightly stunned. Then, he hurriedly approached the coffin at the same time as the second uncle, and looked into the coffin.
As we look at it like this, we can't help but change our faces! Because we clearly saw that at this moment in the coffin, Zhao An's clothes were still placed there as well as before. But something happened to the big fish that had just been thrown into the coffin.
At this time, all the scales on its body seemed to have been peeled off alive. The entire coffin was covered with fish scales. And the fish fell into the coffin with a blur of flesh and blood, and it was already dying. And, even more frightening, we've been standing here ever since the fish was thrown into the coffin. Never left, and no one approached the coffin. So, what's going on with that fish inside the coffin? Why are the good ones stripped of their scales?
