Chapter 192: Digging a Grave

This sentence completely quieted the crowd.

The patriarch shook his head and said nonsense, digging up people's graves, disturbing the rest of the dead, and possibly bringing even greater bad luck.

"Ake won't blame me, if I don't dig it up, I won't be blind even if I die." The old woman spoke harshly, and the rest of the people were skeptical.

However, there are already dead people in the village, and everyone is also supportive, digging up Qingke's grave first.

So, early in the morning, a group of people carried pickaxes and went to the mountains to dig graves.

I carried the baggage of the ritual weapon on my back, and walked at the back of the crowd with the aquatic life.

Jiang Mian and Wang Tongxi were also dragged up the mountain together, because the people in the bend were worried that their two "culprits" would take the opportunity to escape.

So, the two of them could only reluctantly follow up the mountain together.

The tomb mountain of the creek bend has excellent feng shui, and it must have been specially invited to see it by people who know how to see it, so I chose this mountain as a tomb mountain.

Qingke, a girl who died before she got married, could not be buried in the ancestral grave circle on the top of the mountain, but buried in the middle of the mountain, where there are only a few lonely graves.

However, there are still many pastries and food in front of Qingke's grave, and it must be her old mother who came to worship her.

"My girl likes to eat sweets, and her favorite thing is this sugar cake." The old woman said that, and leaned over and touched Qingke's tombstone.

He couldn't stop saying, "Ake, my mother will go to save you soon." ”

When the old woman had said this, she motioned for the grave to be dug up, and the old woman's husband stood aside and shook his head.

However, he couldn't resist his wife, so he could only let everyone help dig the grave, saying that if he dug the grave, the old woman's heart knot might be opened, and she would not continue to be crazy.

With everyone's help, the grave was soon dug up, and a wooden coffin was revealed.

I crouched down and asked the water to help me, and the two of them opened the lid of the coffin themselves.

The moment the lid of the coffin was pushed open, these people around let out an exclamation, because the coffin was empty, and Qingke's body was indeed missing.

"Dad, look, Sister Qingke's body is really not in the coffin." Shui Sheng pointed to the empty coffin and said excitedly.

Everyone saw it with their own eyes, the crowd became restless again, and the families of the other two deceased who had died before also said that they would open the coffin.

They have already gone to the grave mountain, and these people simply went to the top of the mountain and dug up the other two graves, and as a result, the ending was naturally the same, and the corpses were gone.

Faced with such a situation, everyone looked at me.

"Qingke personally said that it was the water demon who killed them, and their corpses are in the river, we will find their corpses first, and then find a way to deal with the water demon." I glanced at the faces of these men and said very seriously.

"Jiangyan?" As soon as everyone heard this word, they all looked at the patriarch.

Without waiting for the men to speak, the patriarch shook his head like a rattle.

"No, absolutely not, Jiangyan is the lifeblood of our stream, how can an outsider know?" The patriarch shook his head, reluctant to say Jiangyan's location.

"If Dad, if the corpse is blocked in the river, won't we be drinking corpse water every day?" The aquatic life opened his mouth and said something that made his throat and eyes sour.

As soon as these words came out, everyone strongly asked the patriarch to tell the location of Jiang Yan, and said that six more people died this time, and it was because of the patriarch's negligence that two useless demon hunters were invited.

After all, Jiang Mian and Wang Tongxi are both newcomers to the Demon Slayer Pavilion, and they have never seen this kind of thing where the corpse in the coffin disappears out of thin air, and the shock on their faces is no less than that of the people in the bend.

Hearing the people in the bend say that they are useless, I can't argue with it.

"The patriarch really can't do it, let's send a letter to the Deepavali Pavilion." Jiang Mian looked at the patriarch and said.

"It's a long way to go to Beijing, and once you come and go, the people in our bend will already die!"

An uncle shouted angrily, and then everyone followed suit, thinking that what the uncle said was not wrong.

The patriarch couldn't calm their emotions either, and was silent for a long time, the patriarch could only call me aside, pointed at me, and said with a serious face: "I'll take Shui Sheng and accompany you to Jiangyan to have a look, but you must not leak Jiangyan's location." ”

"Patriarch, don't worry, I will never say it." I said firmly.

The patriarch was not at ease, and asked me to swear, I knew that their older generation was old-fashioned and valued oaths, so I swore very seriously.

The patriarch thought about it, and called Jiang Mian and Wang Tongxi over again, saying that they were from the Demon Slayer Pavilion in Beijing after all, and they would also go together, if there was really anything abnormal, it would be easy to help.

I thought about it for a while, thinking that no matter how bad it was, these two still knew some magic, maybe they could really help, so I nodded in agreement.

Jiang Mian and Wang Tongxi also readily agreed, and asked me if there was really a water demon and what a water demon was like.

I shook my head: "It was Qingke who said that there is a water demon, I haven't seen a water demon." ”

Jiang Mian and Wang Tong couldn't help but nodded, and the two of them completely lost their previous arrogance.

"Okay, everyone, don't be impatient, after going down the mountain, I will immediately take them to Jiangyan to have a look, if there is really a corpse, I will definitely bring it back!" The patriarch spoke to the tumultuous crowd.

And, motioned for everyone to go down the mountain first.

Everyone went all the way down to the foot of the mountain, and the village chief whispered in Shui Sheng's ear that he should let Shui Sheng prepare something.

There are a number of strong young men in the bend, and they also want to follow us to Jiangyan to find the body, but the patriarch of the metropolis refused, on the surface the patriarch is for everyone's safety, but in fact, he still doesn't want people to know where Jiangyan is.

After convincing the people in the bend, the patriarch took us directly to the river.

The water in this bend of the stream is extremely clear, but when the breeze blows, there is an indescribable fishy smell, although the fishy smell is light, but I can smell it really.

"Do you smell it? The smell? I asked as I looked sideways at the patriarch.

They looked at me suspiciously and asked, "What smell?" ”

"Fishy." I sniffed carefully for a long time before I spoke.

As a result, this sentence angered the patriarch: "Nonsense, the river water in our stream bend is all good, where does the smell come from?" ”

When I heard the patriarch say this, I didn't say much, and stood by the river for a long time, and finally the aquatic life appeared in front of us on a raft.

There were also a lot of things on the raft, and the patriarch motioned for us to get on the raft, and after getting on the raft, the patriarch personally rowed the raft and took us to Jiangyan.
