I was a little puzzled, so I asked Master, "What are they doing here?" ”

The master looked at Huang Changsheng and said: "This is called 'Wangyu', which is a craft handed down by the ancestors of the old Huang family, the old Huang family was the first generation of smuggler salt dealers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, at that time, they were not only private merchants who sold salt, but also fishermen who relied on the sea to eat the sea, and this craft was passed down from that time." However, the people of the old Huang family invented this craft just to wrap the abdomen, but after hundreds of years of evolution, this craft has been improved by the descendants of the old Huang family, and most of the time it is used to measure feng shui in the dragon's lair. ”

At this time, Huang Yulian also said on the side: "When the ancestors established Huangjiazhuang, they raised seventy-two cloth clothes in the river, and once there was an abnormality in the underground palace, the cloth clothes would react. ”

"What is Buyi?" I asked.

Huang Yulian patiently explained to me: "It is a kind of fish that was originally only born in the water tomb, this kind of fish is very strange, once they leave the cemetery, they will die, I heard that the ancestors also spent a lot of effort to let these seventy-two cloth clothes survive." Once they adapt to the water of the Baishuidu River, as long as no major changes occur on the side of the underground palace, they can survive for hundreds of years. ”

I was thinking to myself, a fish can live for hundreds of years, this is a bit against scientific common sense, right?

At this moment, Huang Changsheng and Huang Changrong suddenly turned their heads and shouted at us: "Go fork!" ”

Before I could realize what they meant, my master had already rushed to the river with a harpoon, and stabbed and picked it up against the water, and suddenly a huge wave rose in the water, and I saw a very large thing come to the surface.

Looking at my master's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to pick that thing ashore, but the thing was obviously extremely heavy, and my master tried several times, but he couldn't get it ashore.

I, Liang Houzai, and Liu Shangang also hurriedly picked up the harpoon and went over to help, and Huang Yulian shouted behind us: "Be careful, the poison on the fish is very strong!" ”

No wonder the harpoon was made so long, it turned out that it was because the fish were poisonous.

Just as she was shouting, the three of us had already come to Master's side, and at the same time raised our harpoons and stabbed something in the water.

That's when I realized that it was a living thing, and when the harpoon was stuck on it, it was still writhing wildly, and it was so powerful that we could barely control it.

Huang Changsheng and Huang Changgui began to slap the two harpoons erected on the river bank at this time,

As the concussive hum of the tuning fork spread through the air, the thing we had struck slowly stopped writhing.

Master shouted, "Pick it out!" ”

The three of us worked hard with Master to lift the contents of the water to shore.

What we brought ashore was a large dark green fish that was a meter and a half long, with no scales on its body, but a very soft-looking shell attached to it, in fact, I am not sure if it was a shell, it looked more like a dark green, thick cloth, like a shroud, wrapped around the fish, and two gaps were opened on it, revealing the fins and tail.

The moment I saw this fish, I knew that it was the "cloth clothes" in Huang Yulian's mouth.

After Huang Changsheng and Huang Changrong stopped beating the harpoon, the clothed fish fluttered on the shore for a while, and finally died of lack of oxygen after more than 20 minutes.

Huang Changsheng came to the corpse of the clothed fish, carefully looked at the "shroud" on the body of the fish, and when he and Huang Changrong flipped the body of the fish with a harpoon, I saw that there was a very deep hole in the "shroud" on the other side of the fish, and the bones were visible.

My master leaned over and looked at the wound for a moment, frowning on the spot. At this time, Huang Changsheng said with a very anxious face: "There is really a change in the underground palace, Master Chai, what should we do now?" ”

My master pondered for a while, looked up at the other side of the river shrouded in fog, sighed, and said, "Prosperity, prosperity, you can prepare, and when the fog clears, everyone will follow me to the underground palace." ”

Huang Changrong asked my master: "Master Chai, the whereabouts of the old man are unknown now, we don't have a yin and yang drum, even if we go to the underground palace, we can't open the door, right?" ”

My master lit a dry cigarette, first took a long breath of clouds, and then said, "The reason why your old lady disappeared is, to put it bluntly, to enter the evil tomb. ”

Huang Yulian looked a little incredulous, she asked my master on the side: "It's impossible, my great-ancestor has been trying to get the gold-topped monk back these days, isn't he afraid that the evil tomb will open ......?"

Before she could speak, the master interrupted her: "Old lady Huang is not afraid of the opening of the evil tomb, but is worried that the evil tomb will not be opened, I know him as a person, for him, the safety of the old Huang family is more important than anything else, this time he is planning to enter the evil tomb." can be said to be a thousand ways and ten thousand, and what he did was still for the sake of the bloodline of the old Huang family. The evil tomb is turbulent, if you don't suppress the things in the tomb, once the blood demon array is turbulent, your old Huang family may no longer exist. ”

Huang Changrong and Huang Changsheng obviously knew about the Blood Demon Array, and when they heard my master say this, the expressions on their faces became solemn.

But Huang Yulian was still asking: "But even if the old Huang family is going to suffer a disaster this time, great-grandfather will not open the evil tomb." ”

Master shook his head and said, "When your grandfather set up the Blood Demon Array, you weren't born yet, and I don't know a lot of things, but it's not convenient for me to talk about the past. You can prepare with peace of mind these days, and don't think about other things. ”

As my master spoke, he walked over to the hut.

Huang Yulian seemed to be very reluctant to believe that the old lady was going to open the evil tomb, and after the master left, she also kept frowning, looking at my master's back, until Huang Changsheng took out some knives from the rucksack and called Huang Yulian again, Huang Yulian came back to her senses and helped Huang Changsheng dismember the cloth-clothed fish.

Throughout the day, I practiced drawing talismans over and over again under the supervision of Master, and at dinner, Huang Yulian cooked the cloth silverfish, and finally there was an extra meat dish on the table.

Clothfish, like pufferfish, has a venom gland in its body, and the poison is enough to kill as long as it is stained with a little bit, the difference is that when the life of the clothfish, some venom will ooze out of the surface of the skin, if the skin is stained with this venom, a large piece of fire will grow in an instant, and after half an hour, the person will die in extreme pain.

In this respect alone, the stingfish is much more dangerous than the pufferfish.

However, when the skin and venom glands of the cloth silverfish are cleaned up, its meat is a very delicious ingredient, the fish meat is very tough, and it tastes very elastic.

I have to say that the pot of braised fish fillets made by Huang Yulian tastes as delicious as the broth made by my master's father.

In the next few days, the Huang family on the island was full of worries, and Liang Houzai and I followed the master in the morning as usual, Liang Houzai practiced the same old way, and in addition to practicing the magic exercises that Master taught me, I also had to practice the turtle breath gong with Liang Houzai.

As for Liu Shangang, he still got up every morning to jog, and after the morning run, he was caught by my master to practice closed qigong.

Time just passed day by day, except for the occasional time to come out to eat, the great monk Chengyun has been locking himself in the hut practice, at first I didn't think the great monk's ritual had any effect, but in the last day or two, I felt that the fog on the other side of the river was obviously much lighter.

I remember that one day I asked Master why he suspected that Old Lady Huang was going to enter the evil tomb.

At that time, it seemed that he was eating or practicing, I can't remember clearly, but I vaguely remember that the master said that if you want to enter the back mountain of the Huang family ancestral hall, you must pass through the back door of the ancestral hall, which has been guarded by Huang Changsheng, and outsiders can't get through at all, and that place is a forbidden place for the descendants of the Huang family, and Huang Changsheng can't go until he inherits the family business.

Master also said that the last time he went back to Huangjiazhuang, he checked the bricks and tiles left behind by the demolition of Mrs. Huang's house, and found some gunpowder powder. In other words, the person who blew up the tooth in the first place was Mrs. Huang herself.

According to my master's speculation, Old Lady Huang should have discovered that there was an abnormality in the evil tomb before he blew up the teeth, as for what kind of abnormal movement he discovered, and why he had to explode the teeth, the reason for this, I'm afraid only Old Lady Huang himself knows.

Hearing what Master said, I suspected that the Jinding Monk had stolen it, but it was actually the old lady Huang who was guarding and stealing it.

Master said that there was no need for Mrs. Huang to do that, he could have summoned us to Huangjiazhuang for another reason, and to suppress the things in the evil tomb, in the end, my master still needed to take action, and there was no need for him to pull out such a big lie and keep Master in the dark.

Also the last time I went back to Huangjiazhuang, Master had discussed with Senior Brother Bao about the disappearance of Old Lady Huang. Senior Brother Bao speculated that the Jinding monk should have been stolen by the group of people who attacked Li Daochang, and they probably knew that the gate of the underground palace could not be opened without the Yin Yang Drum, so they managed to contact Old Lady Huang, who had to cooperate with these people in order to open the entrance to the evil tomb.

Therefore, it is very likely that Old Lady Huang is currently with those mercenaries, who are a group of outlaws who kill people without blinking, and it is very likely that they will kill people after using Old Lady Huang.

Because of this, the most important thing for us now is to find Old Lady Huang and rescue him.

At that time, it seemed that Liang Houzai speculated that since those people had found Mrs. Huang, they might have gone to the tomb now. This speculation may also come from Liu Shangang or Xian'er, but after too long, I really can't remember clearly.
