At this time, Uncle Shi's face was in awe of the Yellow River, and at that moment I had such an illusion: Uncle Shi's grandson seemed to have become a primary school student, and the Yellow River on the side was the teacher he was in awe......

We walked along the embankment of the Yellow River for about an hour, and as we walked, there was a word of conversation about the Yellow River.

Before I knew it, I made a big circle and returned to the mouth of Xiaohe Village, where I saw several police cars parked in the distance.

At first, I thought: Can Zhang Kailong also pinch it? Know we're going to get here? Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh, it shouldn't be possible, maybe something happened here!

Dozens of policemen and a few villagers (I don't know if it's from Xiaohe Village) were gathered under the embankment next to the police car, and they formed a circle, not knowing what was enclosed in the middle.

The three of them unconsciously quickened their pace, and after approaching the crowd, I saw Zhang Kailong crowded in front of the crowd.

"Brother Long, what's wrong?"

I shouted, and the people rushed in. Hearing my shout, a circle of police turned their heads to see that it was me and hurriedly got out of the way.

With the empty passage that appeared in front of me, I saw that they were surrounded by something!

It turned out to be a couple of dead people! No! To be precise, these are a few dried corpses with only skin and bones left, the flesh on their faces and hands is gone, only a layer of dry skin and bones remains, their eyes are still intact, their eyes are wide, and their mouths are open to the extent that humans cannot open them.

I could tell at a glance that it wasn't an ancient corpse, because he was wearing an old overalls, and one of the dried corpses had an electronic watch on his wrist!

This is not long after death! I thought. All of a sudden, I thought of what Chen Laosan had told about his grandfather and father before—could it be that this corpse was a villager from Xiaohe Village, who had been sucked dry of flesh and blood by the high priest? I shudder to think about it.

Zhang Kailong and the others naturally didn't know the past of Chen Laosan's family, but with what he had seen and heard these days, he could also guess eight or nine, and he immediately thought that the corpses in front of him were related to the high priest.

In the crowd, I also saw the little assistant policemen before, all of them were like ashes, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak.

Zhang Kailong told me what happened in a few words.

It turned out that after we were separated in the crater, Zhang Kailong first escorted the women and children of Xiaohe Village back to the village, and after settling down, he prepared to return to the bureau.

As soon as I arrived at the embankment of the Yellow River, I happened to see two police cars from the local police station approaching......

For the police, it was just a homicide because there were dead people. But every policeman present was beating drums in their hearts, and it was estimated that the scene in front of them was the most incredible murder they had ever seen in their lives!

The body was pulled back to the ward by the funeral van that followed.

On the way back, Uncle Shi asked me in a whisper, "Xiaozhen, you didn't lose those seeds, did you?" ”

"Nope!" I touched my satchel and replied.

"What seed is this? Does it matter? ”

I asked, puzzled. In fact, I asked him this sentence many times, and I always smiled and didn't answer, and then smiled mysteriously, but I didn't expect him to finally open his mouth this time.

"According to the description on that suede, this is the seed of the legendary 'Tree of the Dark', one of the two iconic plants of the underworld."

"Two? What's the other? I asked hurriedly.

Uncle Shi smiled: "Haven't we seen the flowers on the other side before?" ”

Flowers on the other side?

My thoughts flew to the night when I couldn't see my fingers, and on the surface of the river, which I don't know if it belonged to the world, there were countless flowers that shimmered green. These flowers are the size of a bowl, flickering and flickering, which makes me uneasy to look at......

Uncle Shi said that it was the flower on the other side, the flower of the underworld that bloomed on both sides of Huangquan Road in the legend.

The conversation between the two was interrupted by a sharp sound of brakes.

"What's wrong?"

I asked the driver who was driving.

"It looks like a police car stopped in front of ......"

The driver poked his head forward and replied.

Out of curiosity, Chen Laosan and Uncle Shi, I, and I got out of the car and saw that there was a person with open arms in front of the police car. When I looked at this person, my first feeling was that he was a madman. It was an old man, unkempt, with several holes in his clothes, and covered with mud, and his hair was stuck into lumps of mud, but when I looked at it again, I was shaken all over.

Isn't this Li He? How did he become like this?

On the morning when I found the black wooden coffin, I saw his boat floating on the Yellow River, and I laughed at him for not believing his words, saying that he would no longer fish for the rest of his life, and that the money he had saved over the years was enough to spend, so he would retire leisurely! But it's only been a few days, why has he become crazy?

"You...... What are you stopping our car for? ”

The driver of the police station was originally relatively horizontal, and it is estimated that this is the first time in his life that he has encountered this incident, and he dares to stop the police car!

Li He just stretched out his arms and giggled, muttering something in his mouth, as if he had gone completely crazy!

I hurriedly ran to the front of the police car and shouted at Li He, "Uncle Li, what's wrong with you!" ”

At the time, I didn't know what to ask, I couldn't just ask: How did you become crazy?

I wanted to reach out and pull him, but when I saw the mud on his body, my half-stretched hand retracted. This old guy must have rolled in the mudflats of the Yellow River, otherwise why would there be so much yellow mud on his body!

Li He seemed to recognize me, and I could clearly see the expression on his face stiffen for a moment, but then he resumed his silly smile.

"The fish is alive! That fish...... The fish is alive! ”

Just when I was distracted, Li He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my arm, and shouted hoarsely, this move was too sudden, and it scared me and Zhang Kailong, Uncle Shi, and Chen Laosan behind me.

"Fish? What a fish! Uncle Li? ”

It's a pity that Li He didn't seem to understand my words, and still shouted like crazy, "That fish is alive!" It's true...... It's really alive! ”

This voice was a little hoarse, and he could hear it, he was shouting with all his strength, and he could also hear his incomparable fear at this time!

Could it be the metal fish caught in the Yellow River? Thinking about it makes me feel a sigh in my heart.

I wanted to grab Li He and ask if the fish he was talking about was the metal fish, but just as I stretched out my hand, he jumped up and shouted, "Don't bite me!" Don't bite me! Then he ran madly towards the Yellow River.

By the time I reacted, he had already descended the Yellow River embankment.

After thinking about it, I won't chase him, I know Li He's kung fu in the water, even if he is really crazy now, he will not drown in the water.

I turned around and asked Zhang Kailong and Uncle Shi, "The fish he said ...... It can't really be the metal fish! ”

Uncle Shi sneered and read slowly:

"Turtle shell map, Dayu's tomb. Twelve Protectors, Metal Fish. Three magic weapons, under the Xuanming. Queen Mother Elixir, Tiger Donkey. ”
