Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Dragon Turtle Zhenhuai
This female corpse, although wearing a cheongsam, is not the one I met on the street last night.
There was a slight scar in the corner of her eye.
It's like, the skin is dry and cracked.
The moment she raised her head, I found that she looked very similar to the female corpse at the bottom of the river in Hezi Village that night, but her face did not have so many scars, and I felt a deep uneasiness from the bottom of my heart when I recalled the smirk she showed before leaving.
Jin Yiyi's text message was quickly replied: At half past nine, at the east gate of the North Square of the West Ring Bus Station, I am waiting for you there.
Looking at the time, just after twelve o'clock, the situation was similar to last night, I put the book in the dark compartment, quietly walked up the stairs, and listened to it on my stomach at the door of Tong Xiaomeng's room for a while.
It seems that she doesn't dare to just break in like this, but it gives people the illusion that I can come in whenever I want.
I thought to myself, what means did the jade corpse use to make Tong Xiaomeng almost drown in his bed?
At first, I thought that this was a physiological reaction caused by psychological factors, but I didn't expect it to be at all.
The female corpse's actions tonight made me feel like the Buddha stepped on it, and the female corpse in dozens of coffins in the riverbed of Erdaokou in Hezi Village was hanging above my head like a bomb, so that I couldn't be at peace for a moment.
At more than three o'clock in the morning, I took the key to leave the shop and went to Xishi Street to buy some things that might be used for this trip, because I had to rush to the Xihuan Passenger Station early tomorrow morning, and I was afraid that it would be too late.
If it was nosy before, now it's a matter of self-stake.
Leaving early in the morning, I still didn't tell Tong Xiaomeng what happened in the shop last night, but just told her that the matter of the corpse in the Yellow River was out of the way, and that he was in Kaifeng, so he had to go to the local area to see the reality with his own eyes.
Tong Xiaomeng was very happy, and went upstairs to change her clothes before coming down.
Long hair tied into a ponytail, with a black baseball cap, and a black shirt, as well as outdoor shorts and hiking boots just above the ankle, big eyes flickering, exuding a youthful atmosphere, and there is no lack of heroism in it.
Tong Xiaomeng is a very good-looking Xinjiang girl, with Han blood flowing on her body, and she is a high-achieving student, and we are not at all the same as those of us who are crawling in the east gate, just like a fairy who came down from the Yunxiao Palace, and the other is a fool.
At the east gate of the passenger terminal, we found Kim Yiyi, whose grandson had waxed his hair and combed it into a big back, short-sleeved trousers and leather shoes, and he looked like a North Korean leader, and he was instantly recognizable in the crowd.
Jin Yiyi took the backpack on Tong Xiaomeng's back, and a few people got into the car and went directly to the direction of Henan.
On the way, I carefully looked at the photo in Jin Yiyi's hand, it was a large water tank like a turtle shell, dark green, engraved with turtle patterns, and asked Jin Yiyi, what kind of thing is this, and whether it has anything to do with the Yellow River corpse fisher.
Jin Yi grinned and said, this thing was dug out of the mud more than three meters deep under the riverbed when the Yellow River was dug last year, and the local villagers called it "Dragon Hunt", which was the thing that the Yellow River King sat on when he patrolled the river, and there were runes engraved on it, it was said that it was noon when the mud came out, the sky was dark all of a sudden, and it rained heavily, and the water in the riverbed of Kung Fu rose for a while.
I heard Jin Yiyi say that it is evil, in fact, the photo is a huge Wang Ba shell, but once it grows beyond the laws of nature, it becomes rare, not only does this photo have a shell, but there is also a person standing next to the shell and giving a thumbs up to the camera, I compared it, threw the person into the shell and covered it, then it is estimated that it is invisible.
It's the first time I've seen such a big Wang Ba shell, and I'm wondering if it's a big turtle that swims upside down along the estuary from the sea, when I saw Tong Xiaomeng holding his hat, and he also tilted his neck and leaned his head over.
I thought that with her knowledge of students engaged in folklore research, I might be able to see something, and the result was the same as mine, and after reading it, I said four words: Wang Ba Shell.
I looked at the photo and had a whim, if according to the record of "Tianling" in the "Ancient Spectrum of Treasure", the turtle that grew into such a large size, according to the year of life, at least it can be counted as "Xia Ling" or "Zhong Ling", the turtle shell can be used in medicine, Lao Zhaitang is sold in the Chinese medicine store opposite the door, it is a commonly used Chinese medicine, the name of Chinese medicine is called "Turtle Board", in the "Shennong Materia Medica" is listed as the top grade, for yin deficiency and fever, kidney deficiency and menstrual irregularities These diseases have unexpected curative effects, such a large piece of turtle shell, After selling it, exchange the money for coins, and I guess it will kill me.
I pondered that Jin Yiyi had picked up a treasure this time, and I was a little envious, and then pretended to ask him about the corpse collector in the Yellow River as if nothing happened.
Speaking of this matter, Jin Yiyi also has a bit of luck in it.
It has something to do with this Wang Bahuzi, in recent years, the national infrastructure has paid more attention to the Yellow River and Yangtze River basin, and the magnificent cross-river bridges are built according to the moats, and there are ferries everywhere, and there are cross-river bridges everywhere.
Why, the Yellow River is turbulent and ferocious, ordinary people will not go there, once people fall into, not like the runoff city of the Haihe River, it is good luck to be able to find the corpse forty or fifty kilometers downstream, most of the corpses are generally unclaimed, and the waste in the river is more than the corpse, which has led to the more and more lonely in this line, coupled with the crackdown on feudal thinking in those years, to curb the feudal tumor, the real Yellow River corpse diggers have become street rats, and they can't touch it if they want to.
When the villagers wanted to carry it home, a ragged old man came out of nowhere, carrying a cigarette gun and beating people, insisting that this king eight shells were ominous, and also made up a poem, called: "Jiuqu Yellow River comes up from the sky, and there is Huanghuai in Longgui Town." ”
This Huanghuai refers to the destination we are going to, a river village called the mountain gorge more than 50 kilometers south of the county in the upper corner of Kaifeng, located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Grand Canyon five kilometers, close to the Huaihe River Mountains, the Yellow River basin to this area nine turns and eighteen bends, a river col is connected with a river col, especially in the rainy season, the Yellow River water is like a yellow dragon runoff here, galloping and roaring, all night long, the waves that explode at the river gorge are dozens of zhang high, which makes people breathtaking.
Despite this, the water of the Yellow River has flowed for thousands of years and has never come ashore to invade the livestock of nearby villagers, the reason is what the old man said, Longgui Zhenhuai.
As early as in ancient times, Dayu passed by here when he controlled the water, and found that there was a flood here, but because of the topography, the river can not be changed, the mountain can not be opened, so he grabbed a giant turtle from the depths of the Yellow Sea, cut off the Ao enough to stand the four poles, go to the meat of the Ao, remove the bones of the Ao, bury the crow shell with the terrain of the mountain gorge and the river basin, and form the feng shui pattern of the dragon spitting the pearl hole, and then the Yellow River water flow out of the cliff of the eighteen bends into a ring, and become the situation of the golden dragon chasing the pearl, the river has been pulled, and it will not go ashore.
However, there are still profits and losses in the way of heaven, this shell is buried in the water, eroded by the river all the year round, coupled with the accumulation of rotten fish and shrimp bones, it has already condensed the evil qi, and it is suppressed by its own aura, but once this "jewel" is dug up and carried ashore, the villages near the river will have a big trouble.
Some people recognize that this troublesome old man is called Liu Deshui, the people in the village generally call him Liu Lao Ghost, the Yellow River river workers in the early years, and then turned to fishing corpses for a living without the ferry business, except for the four old times when he was criticized several times, the person disappeared, and everyone thought that he had found a place to die.
Many old people in the village worship this old water ghost of the Yellow River, but in the face of the white flowers and silver that are about to arrive, no one listens to the persuasion, but because they are in a hurry to dig out the turtle shell and carry it to the shore, they avoid a river water to take the lives of these villagers, and it can be regarded as Liu Lao Ghost saving their lives in disguise.
Tong Xiaomeng asked: "Then this Liu Deshui, can you still find it now?" ”
Jin Yiyi grinned and said: "I can find it, I curse the street outside the yard where the shell is stored every day, and when we get to the place, we can see it." ”
