Chapter 30: The Water Dividing Sword
Is the river god dead?
The Water Dividing Sword has become an ownerless thing?
I listened to the drunkard's tone very heavy, but I didn't understand the meaning of his words.
The river god is dead, and I can still understand a little, but I don't know what this feng shui sword is.
"The river god is dead? What is the Water Dividing Sword? ”
Qi drunkard said: "The water-dividing sword is a treasure, the great treasure of the Yellow River!" As for whether the river god is dead or not, I don't know, anyway, it's all rumored outside. ”
At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that if the river god was really dead, it was probably Xiao Jiu's doing.
She said that if she wants to level the Wenshui River, is it possible that she is really so strong that even the river god can kill her?
Although the drunkard does not fear the river god as much as Mr. Liu, he has never talked about the river god, which shows that he has scruples in his heart.
If this is the case, then even if he sees Xiao Jiu and knows that she is a treasure, I am afraid he will not be able to catch her.
I was thinking about these things, and the drunkard was staring at me, and when he saw that I didn't speak, he asked again, "What's the matter, what do you want, why don't you speak?" ”
"Ahh I came back to my senses and said casually: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking, is the river god really dead, so why hasn't the Wenshui River moved?" ”
The drunkard Qi said: "It is precisely because the Wenshui River is not moving, that it means that there is a problem." ”
"What do you mean?"
"What do you think, so many things have happened in the past few days, the stone statue of the river god has been destroyed, so many corpses have somehow come out of the water, and people from all forces have gathered here, if the river god is still here, how can it be so stable."
I exclaimed, "So, the river god is really dead?" ”
"I don't know." After that, he asked me: "This matter has something to do with that woman, and I heard that it was after she calmed the Wenshui River that night that the problem occurred." You have a relationship with her, don't you know any news? ”
When he asked, he did not rule out the purpose of inquiring about the news.
"I know this, I'm with you every day, don't you know what I know." I also replied without revealing a drop of water.
"Alas, even if I believe what you say, no one else will believe it, otherwise they wouldn't have tried to deal with you."
Seeing that the drunkard couldn't say anything, he didn't ask much, and told me the reason directly.
"Becoming a river god, he has attained the Tao, his body is spiritual, even if he is dead, his body is a peerless treasure, and the magic is endless, who doesn't want to get it? In addition, the water dividing sword I am talking about is a treasure that is more precious than the corpse of the river god, which can divide the water and determine the river, change the direction of the river, etc., with this thing, you can control the entire Wenshui River. There have been rumors that the person who scores the water sword is the river god, and there may be discrepancies between the truth and the falsehood of this statement, but the water dividing sword is also ranked high on the list of treasure holders, and it can be called a priceless treasure. This time, the water-dividing sword of the Wenshui River may stir up a bloody storm. ”
After some explanation, he looked at me and said in a strange way.
"Baby, if you really know the clues in this regard, tell me too, let's go to get the treasure, and share the benefits, and it will not be in vain for me to spend a merman bead to save you."
It's not that I don't say it, it's that I really don't know.
It's the first time I've heard the news, and I'm still full of doubts.
Then he retorted: "I don't have a clue!" Aren't you a treasure holder, don't you be able to see six ways and listen to all directions, and you can also see the treasure glowing, why can't you do it now? ”
Qi drunkard said: "The treasure holder is different from ordinary people, but it has not yet reached the point of knowing everything. ”
As a treasure-holding person, the Qi drunkard is very eager for treasure, and I can feel it through my previous cognition, but this time I feel that he is a little weird.
I looked at him and asked, "You're a treasure holder, aren't you interested in the corpse of the river god and the water-splitting sword?" ”
"I'm interested." The drunkard nodded.
"Then why don't you look for it and find a way to rob it?"
"There are too many people, and I think other people will come, and those things are too eye-catching, if I really get it, then I will become the target of everyone, and it is better to save my life."
There is nothing wrong with this explanation, it makes perfect sense.
But I still don't feel right.
"You're not impressed at all? Isn't that right, you still want to hide it from me? ”
The drunkard Qi was refreshing, but he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Hehe, you can also guess, what kind of river god's corpse and water-dividing sword are indeed big treasures, if it was before, I would definitely use all my strength to fight for it, but now it's different, I'm eyeing a bigger treasure, and that treasure is unknown to others." ”
In an instant, I understood what he meant.
In his heart, Xiao Jiu is a treasure more precious than the corpse of the river god and the water dividing sword, and if the treasure holder believes that a treasure is a treasure, he will not let go, and his goal is even greater.
Just now, Mr. Liu also instructed me to be careful of the drunkard Qi, probably because he was worried that he was also plotting the corpse of the river god and the water-dividing sword, but I didn't expect that the drunkard Qi had other plans.
I sneered: "You just said that she killed the river god, do you think you can catch her?" ”
The drunkard Qi said indifferently: "I can't catch it, I'm not sure at all, but as a treasure-holding person, I have no regrets about dying if I can see such a treasure in this life." ”
As he spoke, this guy took a sip of wine, as if he was very eager to see Xiao Jiu.
"Alright, you lie down here and rest, I'll go out and burn those corpses, so that there won't be any more chaos."
Soon after he went out, smoke rose outside.
The smell of burning corpses was really terrible, even if the doors and windows were closed in the house, the smell would go straight in.
I thought that the people in the village would come to stop it, but everyone came to make trouble, it's not that they can tolerate this smell, but something happened to my family, so they didn't dare to come.
The corpses piled up into a hill burned for an afternoon, and the evil smell spread throughout the entire Wenshui River, but no one came to complain.
At night, the corpses were almost burned, leaving a mess of wreckage.
The drunkard didn't plan to clean up, so he washed his hands and started cooking, but he took good care of me, didn't let me get out of bed, but brought dinner directly to my bedside.
After dinner, I didn't mean to sleep, so I pulled the drunkard and wanted him to tell me something to relieve my boredom, such as the yin and yang forces around the Yellow River or something.
But he was very sleepy, and without saying a word useful, he lay on the chair and snored.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, I didn't fall asleep, and the snoring of the drunkard stopped abruptly, and I suddenly woke up and stood up.
Then, there was a knock on the door.
"Chen Ping'an, is Chen Ping'an here?"
I didn't speak, and the drunkard answered: "Who?" ”
"I am Mr. Liu's apprentice, and it was the master who asked me to come over and tell Chen Ping'an that the body of the blind man in your village has been found, please follow me to carry it back."
Like a frightened bird, I immediately said vigilantly, "Isn't it another evil thing?" ”
"How can there be so many evil things." The drunkard replied to me, and then shouted outside: "You guys go back to his house first, Chen Ping'an can't get out of bed, he can't go." ”
Before leaving, the eldest girl of Yaomen told me to protect me, and the drunkard Qi was also worried that something would happen, so he didn't let me go out.
The person outside said again: "No, the corpse was hung up, we can't put it down, the master said that this matter is very important, he must go, all our corpse collectors on the Wenshui River will protect him closely, and it will be fine." ”
Mr. Liu also knew that I couldn't do anything, so he asked all the corpse collectors to protect me, which means that he was also prepared.
Besides, if I wasn't really needed, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had such a big battle.
The drunkard didn't say anything more, turned his head to look at me, and gave me the choice.
"Are you going?"
I smiled bitterly: "I don't want to go out, but it's too unrighteous not to go to this matter, Sun Blind has helped our family a lot, and we all owe him." ”
"Let's go!"
Drunkard Qi didn't say much, and threw his clothes directly to me.
"The blind man and I also hit it off at first sight, so this can be regarded as sending him off for the last time."
From the bottom of his heart, he also didn't want to see Sun Blind die at peace and be hanged, if it weren't for me, he would have said directly that he would follow just now.
I put on my clothes, packed up my ropes, and went out with the drunkards.
There were seven or eight people at the door, all of them were strong men, all of them were corpse collectors taught by Mr. Liu, and they made a living from this on weekdays.
One of the older ones smiled at me and said, "You don't have to be afraid, our brothers are protecting you, and the master said that if something happens, even if we die, we can't let you be sick, don't worry." ”
This warms my heart.
I don't want to be true, but I want to have this heart.
We didn't stop and followed them to see the body of the blind man.
On the way, after some inquiry, I learned that the body of the blind man was not found, but by a big black dog.
There is a family in the town whose surname is Li, and there is a big black dog at home, which is quite humane. This afternoon, the black dog came back from outside, barking at its owner and tearing at his trouser legs. At first, the family surnamed Li thought that there was something wrong with the dog, but after thinking about it, they let the black dog pull it and went to a small forest by the river.
The body of the blind man was hung from a locust tree in the woods.
As soon as the news came out, everyone in the town ran to see it, and someone recognized it as Sun Blind. The matter reached the ears of Mr. Liu, and he personally went over to take a look, and was sure that it was Sun Blind.
The well-wishers wanted to put down the body of the blind man, but as long as he was moved, the corpse would be as if it was alive, hurting people with teeth and claws.
They all scared the good Samaritan into the hospital.
And on the tree where Sun Blind was hanging, there were a few big words: Chen Ping'an can move!
Mr. Liu really had no choice, so he found someone to invite me.
Hearing this, the drunkard Qi stopped and said in a deep voice: "Such a coincidence? I also deliberately left your name, how do I feel that I am specifically leading you over, is the old water ghost surnamed Liu stupid, can't understand this conspiracy? ”
Naturally, I can sense that there is something wrong with this.
But it's all halfway through, and it's about Sun Blind, even if he knows the pit dug for me, he has to jump into it.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if I go back now, it is hard to guarantee that the people in the dark will not think of other ways to force me out, this matter cannot be avoided, and I can only face it.
"Alright, let's go over and have a look."
