Before I dared to look back, I saw the men under the trees who were keeping vigil as if they had seen ghosts, throwing torches on the ground and running in the direction of the village with a terrible cry.

I thought I must have seen something terrible, and I didn't dare to look back, my body froze against the tree, and my legs were swinging with my life.

It is said that the deep mountains and old forests and the deserted estuaries are the most prone to unclean things, I wonder if there is really a demon in this river, according to the record in the "Ancient Spectrum of Treasures", there must be at least a big treasure in the river.

But at this juncture, whether the money is or not is not so important, but seeing the gestures that Professor Gu gave me, he should still have a way to deal with the current situation, if it weren't for me in English, I guess I would have understood what he meant.

The riverbank froze for a while, and now I am the only living person here, and there is a red sedan chair and a coffin and I don't know what things crawled out of the river, I try not to think about some movies and novels that I have seen similar scenes, but after waiting for a long time, after the river "roars", it completely loses its movement.

After waiting for a long time, I tentatively shouted to the red sedan chair under the tree, "Is there anyone in there?" ”

It's too quiet, I wonder if this sedan chair is filled with living people, but the living sacrifice will not make a dead person put in it and throw it into the river, after thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and looked back, the river was as calm as ever, and there were no things like my illusion at all.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw this, looked in the direction of the village, and estimated that the few people who had fled should have entered the village by this time, so I turned over and slipped from the branches to the ground, approached Jiaozi in two steps, and raised my hand to lift the curtain.

"Tong Xiaomeng?"

I couldn't believe it and looked at the woman in the sedan chair, wearing a big red wedding dress, the makeup on her face was also very good-looking, the ponytail was torn off and draped over her shoulders, and the big watery eyes were staring at me.

"Why are you here?"

I ripped off the ball cloth from her mouth, looked at her and asked, "Do you really want to throw yourself into the river for the girl, and then be written into the textbook by Professor Gu?" ”

Tong Xiaomeng took a few breaths and said to me, "Are you all gone?" ”

I nodded: "There is a monster in the river, thanks to you not going down, otherwise you are the one lying in the coffin at this time." ”

Tong Xiaomeng was locked in a sedan chair, and she didn't know much about what was happening outside, so I could only tell her simply that there was a demon in the river, and there was a black coffin full of women.

After finishing speaking, I found that Tong Xiaomeng's hands and feet were also tied with ropes, so I took out a dagger from my waist and wanted to untie her, but who expected her to look at it and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!" ”

Looking at each other, Tong Xiaomeng stared at me and said, "It's still too late for you to go back to the village now, go to the ancestral hall to find that girl, and then take her away, Professor Gu will pick you up over there, go now." ”

I looked at her suspiciously: "What about the video?" Don't shoot anymore? ”

"Don't shoot, things in this village are not as simple as we imagined, you just do what I say, rescue the girl, and we will come back when we have the chance."

Looking at Tong Xiaomeng's resolute expression, I nodded, cut the rope that bound her hands and feet, and then stuffed the dagger into her hand: "You ask for more blessings first!" ”

I never thought that one day I would be called by a girl who didn't even go out of college, but I just don't know why, Tong Xiaomeng's eyes when she did things made it difficult for people to refute the thoughts, as if she didn't do what she said, I was a fucking social scum, and my sense of justice was too much.

I thought I was underestimating these two professionals who had come out of college, and after a few words of advice, I turned over the tree again, set up the DV machine on the branch, pointed the camera at the black coffin, and then slid down the tree and ran in the direction of the village.

It was even more quiet at night, and I was not afraid of being met by the villagers who suddenly came out, all of them were holding torches in their hands, and the target was very recognizable, and in the process of running, my mind was still on the black coffin that suddenly appeared from the water.

The Chinese pay attention to entering the soil for safety, and the most taboo is the coffin into the water. Even if it is buried in water, it is to seal the bush in the big ship, and the big ship is hollowed out and sunk, and the coffin will not see the water.

This is good, several people are lying together, but according to the meaning of the old Han dialect, this is really the sacrifice that Hezi Village in the past dynasties threw into the river to worship the river god? This is also too miserable and inhumane, the key is that everyone is so good-looking, it really makes people hate it.

The water coffin does not rot, and the female corpse does not rot, and the reason for it is estimated that it can only be found when I go back and look through "The Ancient Spectrum of the Treasure".

I sneaked back into the village along the route out of the village during the day, at this time most of the villagers are estimated to be still in the house of Wu Lao Liu, it is not so easy to suddenly persuade a person to throw his daughter into the river and drown, the most important thing is that I have to hurry up, it is best to find Professor Gu and take the girl and Tong Xiaomeng out before they leave the village, Tong Xiaomeng is doing this now to buy us time, once these people find out that the sacrifice thrown into the river is gone, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to leave Hezi Village if we grow three heads and six arms.

I haven't exercised for several years, and suddenly I jumped and ran so far, my body was really a little panting, and when I touched the wall of the back yard of the ancestral hall, I already felt a little out of breath, but I could only climb the courtyard wall hard, and when I saw that there was no one around, I jumped directly.

The moment I landed, I was greeted by a hideous grimace close at hand, which scared me out of my white hair, and walked a few meters behind me, only to find that the head was a water ghost statue seen in the video, the statue not only stood under the bluestone street at the main entrance of the ancestral hall, but also in the back, with different shapes, but without exception they were all weird.

From this position, I could see the ancestral hall in front of me clearly. It is very ancient, but it is magnificent, and the area and momentum are no less than some mansions and ancestral halls in the Tianjin Acropolis, which are completely out of tune with such a remote mountain village.

This village is much richer than I look from the outside, but it is surrounded by water on three sides, backed by mountains, and the mountains are lonely and lonely, and the fish in the water and the wild beasts in the mountains will not make them so rich, where do they get their money?

Suddenly, a figure emerged from behind the stone sculpture of the water ghost, startling me, but then I found out that it was Professor Gu, and I stepped forward and hurriedly asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"In the ancestral hall."

Professor Gu grabbed my hand and walked around the stone carving, only to find that there was a small section of bluestone paved steps on the inside of the stone carving, which was not as wide as the main entrance, but it was enough for one person to go alone.

Two people stood behind the ancestral hall across the stone steps, in front of a small wooden door, Professor Gu looked left and right, took my hand and pushed the door in, here, I saw the most incredible scene I have ever seen in my life.

A confession filled with a room with a height of five or six meters stood in front of me, and the dense small lattices on the top were filled with tablets for the deceased, and in front of each row were placed a candle lamp with a flickering flame, and the confession was in the shape of a pyramid, and I roughly counted from the bottom to the top, and at least there must be a ranking of nearly 500 deceased, which was enshrined here all the year round.

"Do you know why the people in this village don't do anything, and can they still have food and clothing for hundreds of years?" Professor Gu looked at me and asked.

I turned my head blankly: "Why? ”

"It's because of these tablets."

Professor Gu raised his head and looked at the confession: "Since the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, this village has retained the tradition of throwing a fifteen-year-old girl into the river every year to worship the gods. ”

"Wu Xiaomei?" I asked, "Is that Boss Wu's daughter?" ”

Professor Gu nodded: "She brought me here and told me a secret about this village. ”

"What's the secret?"

"Do you know the Blood Jade?" Professor Gu asked.

"You know, the living and the dead raise jade together, and the blood goes deep into the jade, and it is the king of jade." I replied.

The ancient sect glanced at me approvingly, and said seriously: "This Hezi Village is just using living people to raise jade!" ”
