Chapter 123: There is no cave
At night, I hid the branches and the boat and lurked on a grassy shore to monitor the river.
Luo Qiaoqiao guessed correctly, at about eight o'clock in the evening, sure enough, a boat came.
It was a simple fishing boat. There were more than a dozen candles on it, and it looked quite bright on the dark surface of the river. There were two people standing on the bed, but they were wearing masks on their faces, so I couldn't see them.
When the fishing boat sailed to the top of the children, it was Ting. I noticed that the two seemed nervous because they were constantly going back and forth. It's a habit of thinking, and many people who are more impatient will go back and forth to think about problems, and I am the same. Remember the age of the festival.
I saw a person take out a Zhang Dao talisman, and the talisman suddenly turned into a green flame and floated gently on the surface of the lake. It touched the water, but it was not extinguished, and it burned quietly.
Sure enough, it's Taoism.
The green flame is like a bait, and when it falls, the water begins to splash in the river.
Suddenly, something came out of the river, and I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw it, it was the strange fish that the villagers had told me. We weren't far apart at this point, and I could see the strange fish.
That thing has eyelids. Blinking every now and then. The complexion looks exactly the same as that of a human, and the dirty and ugly scales are all over the body. To my surprise, these strange fish still have long ears, which is more appropriate than a fish that looks like a human.
One of the people on the fishing boat took something out of the boat, and I took a closer look. It was found to be a dead chicken. He threw the dead chicken into the river, and the strange fish immediately tore the dead chicken to pieces like a hungry tiger. They were clearly not fed, so the man left two more dead chickens and fed the strange fish.
I frowned, if I wanted to know all about it now, I should have taken the man over and questioned him carefully to get the most truthful answer. But there are two people on the other side, how can I start?
I could shoot a man into the river with a bow and arrow, but the problem was that there were so many strange fish in the river, I couldn't swim into the water, it would be too dangerous.
That's right!
It occurred to me that I thought, why not try to lure these people ashore?
Thinking of this, I picked up two stones from the ground and threw one of them towards the river. The moment the stone was thrown, I immediately smashed the other one towards the distant woods.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
When two voices rang out, the two men on the boat were so frightened that they almost fell into the water. They shone their flashlights toward the forest, and I heard one of them shouting, "Who is it?" ”
Odd...... It sounded familiar, but I just couldn't remember it.
They seemed to be discussing, and then made a decision to head the boat toward the shore.
When the boat docked, they walked ashore and carefully shone their flashlights around. I quickly drew my bow and aimed it at one of them's legs.
As soon as the string was released, the bow and arrow sped away, piercing the man's thigh with incredible accuracy. He fell to the ground and let out a cry of pain, and the other man, visibly frightened, hurriedly ran towards the river, and many strange fish immediately appeared on the surface of the water.
The man jumped down and was caught by the strange fish, and immediately fled as if he were driving a speedboat. I frowned, and I didn't pretend to be bows and arrows, but pulled the bowstring to that side, and suddenly the red bow and arrows appeared.
Torrential rain hits!
The bow and arrow turned into starlight and frantically flew towards the river, and many red lights entered the river. The man who had fled stumbled and fell into the river, and he fluttered his hands and flapped, and I realized that this guy was a landlubber.
Landlubbers are good, too.
I pulled another bow and arrow, and when the bow flew out, the guy in the water immediately stopped moving. At this point, I breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the injured man on the shore.
He yelled in panic and begged me to spare his life, and this guy's voice was really familiar. It was too dark for any of us to see each other's faces, so I dragged him to the side of the boat, where there was candlelight.
When he arrived at the side of the boat, he saw my appearance and immediately exclaimed, "Jiang Cheng! ”
Well? Know me?
I lifted his mask and finally saw the guy's true face.
Zhou Shihao!
When I hadn't found the Bagua Hall at the beginning, Jiang Xue's belly pocket was snatched away by the old woman, I hurriedly chased after it, and then was stopped by two big men, and we had a fight in the alley. Zhou Shihao is the big man who loves the Northeast dialect very much, originally I thought that life could no longer intersect with him, but I didn't expect to meet again today.
I said coldly: "Zhou Shihao, give me a reason, why are you here?" ”
Zhou Shihao's face was panicked, he shook his head again and again, and I pointed a bow and arrow at his throat as a threat. He was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Don't kill me! I'm here to make money! ”
"Make money? You made the children under the water? I asked with a gloomy face.
Zhou Shihao said no, he said that it was made by Sister Yan, and it was a shady business of Bagua Hall.
I raised my eyebrows, but I wasn't surprised. I drifted with the tide not far away, still around Shanghai. And what is in charge here is the Bagua Hall, if there is an evil cultivator, it is indeed likely to be someone from the Bagua Hall, after all, this is also someone's territory.
I said in a deep voice, "Is Sister Yan dead?" ”
"It's dead, it......'s dead," Zhou Shihao said in a panic, "Sister Yan was shot through two kidneys by you with an arrow, even Da Luo Immortal can't save it, and now the Bagua Hall is Brother Bayuan." ”
I nodded, since Sister Yan is dead, it is naturally the best, so as not to cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. But I really didn't expect that not long after I escaped, I had a grudge with the Bagua Hall again. I said calmly, "Tell me, what is the strange fish here?" ”
Zhou Shihao swallowed his saliva, and he whispered: "The strange fish are those children, Sister Yan dug out the souls of the children, and then refined such a strange fish, which can be regarded as a kind of living weapon." Because children are delirious, they are more obedient. ”
I couldn't help frowning and wondered, "There's one thing I don't understand, what's the use of making such a strange fish?" ”
"It's very useful......" Zhou Shihao, a breeder, didn't dare to hide any secrets at this time, he said quickly, "How many treasures are in the water, you don't dare to imagine ≡ thousands of years since ancient times, I don't know how many shipwrecks there are, how many treasures have not been dug up." For example, the Huangpu River, such a turbulent current, who dares to go down to see? But these strange fish can, take 10,000 steps back and say, there are always women washing clothes by the river, accidentally dropping rings and the like into the water, and the strange fish can also be recovered. ”
"Oh?"
I really didn't expect that Sister Yan would do such a hurtful thing in order to make money from the dead. I naturally know the treasure in the water, once an ancient shipwreck was found in the river on our side, and many police cars came to block the river and drain it first, and then did not let people approach. Whether there was anything in the wreck, no one in the common people knew.
I couldn't help but ask, "How much money can I make from this?" ”
"Generally, I make more than 100,000 ...... a month," Zhou Shihao whispered, "But once I found something good, I fished a golden rabbit head and came back, and Sister Yan took it to the black market and sold it." The people inside have all shared the money, I heard that Brother Bayuan will get 200,000, and no one knows how much Sister Yan took herself, but it is definitely astronomical. After all, as long as it is fished out of the water, most of them are antiques. Jiang Cheng, I told you everything I knew, you let me go, I promise, I will never confess you. ”
"Let's go?"
I scoffed, "You killed so many innocent children, and you still want me to let you go?" Since the children's lives are irretrievable, it is not bad for you to go down to the funeral. ”
With that, I grabbed my bow and arrow and stabbed it fiercely at Zhou Shihao's throat. His face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly shouted, "Don't do it! The children are not dead! ”
"Not dead?"
I grabbed him by the collar and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Zhou Shihao pointed to the surface of the river with his finger, he was already trembling with fear: "The bottom of the river...... There is a hole at the bottom of the river, it seems to be an underwater room, and the children are in it. But we didn't go in and see it, only Sister Yan knew what was inside. ”
Don't have a cave?
I was shocked, could it be that there is a big yin hidden?
