Chapter 32: Mystery Token
Mystery Token
Early the next morning I was striking the trees with my machete, as usual, but this time the old man got up very early, which surprised me a little.
The old man made a table of delicious food for our breakfast, and I sat down on the little bench to eat and drink after this time I had beaten the trees.
"Old man, why did you get up so early today?" I asked, with a fritter in my mouth.
"I went to see it in the morning, and the police on the riverside are almost gone, so it's time for the two of us to go out on the boat today." The old man replied as he ate.
I yawned boredly, the corpses and human head fish in the river were cleaned up by the police, how could there be anything to fish?
But I thought about it, I can take advantage of today's time to go to the bottom of the river and fish for the thing Chen Shanming said.
"Wait a minute!" As if suddenly remembering something, I went back to my room and pulled out a bag.
When I opened the bag, there was a dark blue diving suit, which was the one I wore when I was underwater before, the quality of this diving suit was very good, and the equipment was also very advanced.
In fact, it's useless for her to leave me, because I don't have bullets, the bullets of this underwater submachine gun are smaller than ordinary people, and they are very difficult to get, unless they are special, and bullets are such things, even if I have a way to get them, but there is still some trouble.
Seeing this equipment, the old man didn't say much, I had already told him last night that this was left to me by Ziming Aya before leaving, and it was nothing to get a set of diving equipment in my current capacity.
"Little baby, let's just go out to see it later, what are you doing with your diving suit? Now it seems that there is nothing to be fished in this river? The old man asked, puzzled.
I smiled at the old man and said, "Yesterday, when I did the transcendent ritual for that Chen Shanming, he told me that there is a great treasure at the bottom of this river, if it is really what he said, I think this treasure must be extraordinary?" ”
"And that kind of thing?" The old man was shocked: "Little baby, you have to be safe, that ghost of Chen Shanming, do you really believe him?" You know, he used to be the king of the head fish! ”
Looking at the old man's eyes, I waved my hand and explained: "That's just, the head fish in the river is constantly eating his body, and he has no choice but to merge with the head fish, and when I was fighting with him, Chen Shanming had tried his best to stop the ability of the head fish king." ”
The old man seemed to want to say something, and I continued: "Besides, didn't Chen Shanming already go to the ghost realm to overdo it, and now at this time, it is estimated that he has already drunk soup by the bridge." ”
The old man thought for a while and nodded: "That's right, it's okay to take a look, anyway, there is nothing dangerous in the river water, not even fish and shrimp." ”
The old man and I went out of the boat after dinner, the river was already too peaceful, but there was really no value, and it would take a long time to re-raise fish and shrimp to bring the river back to life.
The old man and I drove the boat upstream and downstream for a long time without finding anything unusual, and the old man, the corpse digger, was probably going to have nothing to do for a long time.
I rowed with the old man to the place where I had been doing business yesterday, three hundred meters to the left, and the river was very calm, and if there was no wind blowing, it would be like a pool of stagnant water.
I made a visual inspection, stopped almost three hundred meters away, put on my wetsuit on the boat, and jumped in.
The water was dim, but the flashlight was so powerful that I could see what I was seeing up close.
There is no danger in a stagnant water in the river, I dived straight into the river to look for the two big stones that Chen Shanming said, the river is very wide, so I searched for a while, the big stone Chen Shanming said is really a big stone, two large stones that are more than a meter big together, unless it is a fool, it is impossible to find it.
I shone a flashlight into the crack of the big rock, and sure enough, I saw that what Chen Shanming said was a token, but it was buried in the mud and sand, and I really couldn't see it if it weren't for my eyes.
I brushed aside the mud and sand and picked up the token, after all, it was underwater, and the light was still not very good, so I picked up the token and swam up.
The old man was waiting for me on the boat, I climbed on the boat vigorously, and I didn't even have time to take off my diving suit, so I looked at the token in my hand, and the token was gold and black, and there was a kind of divine beast engraved on it, this kind of divine beast I know, he is one of the nine sons of the dragon, his name is gluttony, and he can eat all things.
The hideous gluttonous beast looks particularly hideous against the background of the black and gold patterns.
I took a closer look at this brand, but I didn't find any information, but I subconsciously felt that this brand must have an unusual origin, Chen Shanming said, this brand is more luxurious than the token of the prefect of the Sui Dynasty, which means that this thing must be a very valuable thing or a very powerful thing.
It has been recorded in the art of Liuding Liujia that some psychic magic weapons can be blessed with Taoism in the hands of the master, so that the Taoism that could originally exert ten strength can exert fifteen powers.
"Little baby, what is this?" The old man leaned over and asked.
"I don't know." I shook my head and gave this token to the old man, the old man took it and looked at it carefully, he didn't see anything, after all, I know Taoism, and I know a lot, but the old man is completely an ordinary person, only the courage is much stronger than me.
"Okay, there is nothing to salvage on this river, so we don't have to go out of the boat recently, let's have a good rest." The old man said to me as he rocked the boat.
I gave a sigh of encouragement and turned my eyes to the choppy river, the police have announced that there is no danger on the river, I believe that in the near future, fish and shrimp and other life will reappear in the river, and the old man and I are looking forward to seeing the scene of fish and shrimp in the waters of these two rivers.
The old man and I docked the boat at the dock on the shore, and there were many people waiting there in the dock, and the police said that there was no danger on the river, and many of them planned to raise fish and shrimp in the river again, and as long as the formalities were completed, they could start construction today, and some of them even bought fish fry.
"Little baby, you go back by yourself first, I'll go to your third uncle Ge to drink two cups, come back later, if I come back late, you can find some food mat by yourself!" The old man said this to me after tying up the boat.
"Okay!" I agreed, after all, there is nothing to do now, it is better to stay at home than to go out for a walk, only I like to stay at home, since Huzi died, I rarely talk to the people in the village.
For me now, it's more reliable to work hard at home than to talk to them.
Walking alone on the way home, thinking about the Taoist techniques recorded in the Liuding Liujia Technique, the Taoist technique is complicated, I must often see and use it, otherwise it will be too late to hold Buddha's feet in the temporary moment of crisis.
I thought to myself, the villagers passing by me waved to me, and I didn't bother to talk to me, maybe my original personality is like this, I am more withdrawn.
Just as I was thinking about it, I felt as if I had hit something, and then I heard a voice, "Oops! ”
I hurriedly came back to my senses and looked at it, it turned out to be an old man in his sixties, I actually bumped into an old man, I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, are you okay?" I was not good just now, I think things are too distracted, sorry! ”
"It's okay, it's okay, just pay attention next time!" The boss waved his hand very heartily, which made me a little embarrassed, I thought that these old men would sit on the ground like the uncles and aunts in the village, and they wouldn't get up to slander people.
I picked up the old man and looked at him carefully, the old man had white hair, his face was full of vicissitudes of life, and he was wearing a gray cloth robe, I had never seen this person in my memory, so I asked, "Hey, old man, you are not from this village, why have I never seen you?" ”
The boss took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, slowly lit it for himself, took a sharp puff and said, "I used to be from this village, but then I left. ”
"How did you go? Isn't it nice in the village? I couldn't help but ask.
"I was arrested as a strong man when I was fighting a few years ago, and then I stopped fighting, but it wasn't too peaceful, so I didn't come back, and I didn't come back until the last two years when it was peaceful, after all, this is my roots!"
There was a special look in the old man's eyes, which made me can't help but be a little curious, what kind of look is that? Homesickness?
"Little baby, you still don't understand." The old man touched my head, then got up and walked away.
I looked at the old man, the figure that was gradually moving away, and there was an inexplicable sadness in my heart, as if I felt sad for this old man!
The people in the village know each other, our village is actually quite remote, generally speaking, unless it is a New Year's holiday, there will be no outsiders coming, at most it is to communicate with each other, a few villages.
The sudden appearance of the old man suddenly became the gossip of the villagers after dinner, but I didn't have the heart to listen to them talk about these useless things, this time I don't think about those Taoist techniques anymore, or wait to think about it when I get home, I cheered up and looked carefully at the road ahead, so as not to bump into people again and I would be embarrassed.
