It turned out that before meeting me, the above organized an expedition team to investigate Hezi Village, with the participation of the University for Nationalities and the public security department, in order to verify the cause of Professor Gu's death in Tong Xiaomeng's mouth, and then carry out a landing investigation on the matter of living sacrifice in Hezi Village.

But when the expedition team arrived in Ninghai County from Beijing, it rained heavily for three days in a row, and the expedition team was trapped in the county seat until the rain stopped and rushed out overnight, and before they reached the Haihe River, they heard the direction of Hezi Village as if there was an earthquake, and the rumbling noise lasted all night, and when they arrived at the mouth of the river, the mountain behind Hezi Village collapsed, and the river rose and flooded the whole village, and a flood took away all the secrets that belonged there.

At present, Hezi Village has become a deserted village, and the black coffins at the bottom of the river have also been washed away by the flood, and the excavation and rescue work has not ended until now, but after such a long time, the villagers who stayed in the village have completely lost the precious time for rescue, and Hezi Village has become a dead village.

I gasped after hearing this, I didn't receive any news of such a big thing happening in Ninghai County, but at that time, the network media was not developed, newspapers and television were not broadcast, and it still took a while to travel hundreds of miles by word of mouth.

Looking at Tong Xiaomeng's face, I knew that she was still worried about Professor Gu's affairs, so she asked, "Is the blood jade in your hands?" ”

Tong Xiaomeng said: "Yes, I have always carried it closely." ”

She reached out and took out a red rope from her neck, and at one end of the rope, there was a jade pendant that was clear and bloody.

I took the jade pendant and held it in my hand, with a trace of warm body temperature on it, and then raised my hand to aim it at the light coming from the top of my head, the crystal clear jade bi is like ice crystal jade muscle floating with clear rhyme, there are red cracks like blood in the body, carefully observe, just like the blood vessels in the human body, close to the nose and smell carefully, there is a girl's body fragrance gently lingering around, the blood marks are soft and natural, it can be called a flawless jade!

With my eyesight, I can only see so many things with my eyes, after all, not everyone can see this thing of blood jade, I couldn't help but look at it a few more times and exchanged it into Tong Xiaomeng's hand, took a deep breath and asked, "Hezi Village, is there really nothing?" ”

"It's gone." She put the blood jade back on her neck and said, "Before I saw you, I had already been to Hezi Village, and the search and rescue work would be over in two days, even if there was anything there, it would not be our turn." ”

I nodded, glanced at the time in my hand, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning, and I heard Jin Yi downstairs shouting my name, so I asked Tong Xiaomeng to rest early, and I will talk about it tomorrow.

When I went downstairs, I was still thinking in my mind, the flood of cement and rocks in Hezi Village was too strange, as if it had been discussed, and gave me a feeling that the villagers of Hezi Village had reached some kind of contract with the so-called river god, and the river god Bao a village people raised jade and made a fortune, and they had no worries about food and clothing for hundreds of years, but the premise was that they had to keep a secret for the river god, once the matter was revealed by outsiders, the river god was angry, and he pulled them to be buried together.

I don't think it's impossible that even dead bodies can come ashore in the river, and what else I can't accept.

When I went downstairs, Jin Yiyi was looking for water to drink everywhere, and when he saw me, he quickly wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and asked, "What about tea, I'm dying of thirst." ”

I pointed to the counter: "There is only herbal tea left, I want to drink it and pour it myself." ”

I was cleaning up the table, and the women who lived in the shop couldn't always do the same as before, Jin Yiyi took a few sips of tea and burped, patted his stomach and said, "I have to go back." ”

"Sauna?"

Jin Yiyi shook his head: "There is a Nan crawler who wants to sell a few old goods, and now it is at the door of my store, and I have to go over the phone call just now." ”

I glanced at him and reminded, "You have to be careful not to fall into the hands of some people again." ”

He grinned: "The old boatman on the other side of the Yellow River seems to have done something when he was dredging last year, and he didn't dare to make a move until now, it's okay!" ”

The annual dredging of the Yellow River is a big project for the benefit of the country and the people, especially at the mouth of the Yellow River in some ancient waterways, the porcelain transported to the capital from the south is beaten, and the pearl agate transported to the south is transported from the north to the south.

Every spring, Panjiayuan in Beijing and Yudongmen in Tianjin, you can see some farmers with Shaanxi Henan accents, all of them are treasures in their arms, and they can be regarded as making a fortune.

I was also interested in what Jin Yiyi said, but I thought that I couldn't leave Tong Xiaomeng here alone at the moment, so I told him to bring something good and remember to bring it over to open my eyes, I haven't settled the account of the five-clawed red dragon with him yet.

When it came to the five-clawed red dragon, Jin Yiyi wanted to leave, but he sat down again, stared at me and asked, "What did Jin Zhenbang let you do, I always feel that you seem to have changed since you came back." ”

"What's the difference?"

He squinted at me: "I can't say it, anyway, I always felt that Niu Erpao's death must have something to do with Jin Zhenbang, you know, I met the grandson who shipped to me because of the five-clawed red dragon, it was the piece of blood jade he gave me, I swore to Chairman Mao that I definitely didn't lose my eyes when I took the goods, but how did it become a fake when it came to Jin Zhenbang, don't you think this is strange?" ”

I asked, "You mean to say that Kim Zhenbang set up such a big game just to let me do that thing for him?" ”

"I don't know, the premise is that you have to tell me what is going on, and I can help you analyze it." Jin Yiyi said.

I shook my head: "Anyway, this matter is over, in the future, you don't have any collusion with Jin Zhenbang or the thief, and if you are caught again, I will not save you, you can do it yourself." ”

Hearing me say this, Jin Yiyi also lost the desire to ask questions, in fact, I haven't thought about this problem in the past few days, about Jin Zhenbang and the theft of the door, I definitely don't believe it if it is a coincidence, but I can't help other people's hair, I can only retreat to the second, and try not to provoke and break off the contact.

After Jin Yiyi left, I cleaned up the shop, my body was a little tired, but I didn't feel sleepy, thinking that maybe it was because I slept too much in the afternoon, so I sat behind the counter, took out the "Ancient Spectrum of Holding Treasures", and read it carefully.

There are detailed records of some common heavenly and earthly treasures in the "Ancient Spectrum of Holding Treasures", such as the "half-cut Guanyin" that often hides in the temple and steals the worship of gods and Buddhas, as well as the "Yellow River Water Boy" who swallows gold and eats sand at the bottom of the Yellow River, and even the "thousand-year-old blood fox" hidden in the old forest of Changbai Mountain also has a detailed description, but after looking for a long time, the book only records the jade that can be transformed into a little Jiao Niang, but there is no mention of how to target these things.

Everything in the world is like brine and tofu, one thing drops one thing, and even the thousand-year-old blood fox and the snow monster in Kunlun have a way to target, how can they just go to the jade corpse and disappear here.

Flipped through the book all night, turned the ancient score to the "Dibao" page, and the matter finally came to an eyebrow.

It is recorded in the book that in the 27th year of the Republic of China, that is, on May 19, 1938, the invading Japanese army captured Xuzhou and invaded west along the Longhai line. On 9 June, in order to stop the westward advance of the Japanese army, Chiang Kai-shek's government adopted the method of "replacing troops with water" and ordered the opening of Huayuankou, a ferry port on the south bank of the Yellow River, located 17 kilometers north of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, China.

Afterwards, tens of thousands of floating corpses floated in the Yellow River, the corpses floated down the current, a stack of piles were blocked at the bay of the river, attracting groups of big fish and turtles to gnaw the corpses underwater at night, when the night was quiet, it was like a group of people lowered their voices and sang in the river, and occasionally there were cries, I don't know if the people were not dead, so they let the fish eat, which made people listen to the creepiness, which caused the villagers of the villages along the river to be uneasy.

Later, the government of the Republic of China came forward to let the nearby villagers go down to the river to fish out the corpses, but fished out a jade coffin in the depths of the water, there are ancient runes engraved on the coffin board, and the bright red ink lines are vertical and horizontal around the body, once out of the water, the whole Yellow River is blowing a fishy wind, thousands of corpses are clustered, the villagers on the shore are in great confusion, rushing to run home, the doors and windows are closed, and they dare not go out day and night, and the legend of the "Yellow River Corpse King" is rampant on both sides of the strait for a while.
