Chapter 437: Scheming

When the old man saw that we insisted on going to the River Temple, he showed a little helplessness, and his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

I said, "Sir, we won't blame you whether it's life or death, so do us a favor and take us to the River Temple." ”

The old man looked very embarrassed, and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that it will kill you, and this river god is not easy to provoke, if we offend him, we will not have good fruit to eat." ”

Xiao Xu said: "We have Mr. Chen here, even if there is a river god, what are we afraid of." ”

The old man looked at me and said, "Little brother?" ”

Xiao Xu definitely wanted to say that I was a plague god, but I didn't want him to talk nonsense, so I hurriedly said: "I am Mr. Yin and Yang, so even if there are ghosts and evil spirits, I can still deal with it." ”

At this time, Lao Liu Tou took out a stack of money from his bag, it seemed that there were two or three thousand yuan, and handed it directly to the old man, saying: "Brother, you can help, we won't let you run errands for nothing, you take this money, how about it?" ”

The old man looked at the money, then took it, and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the river and show you the way." ”

When we heard that he finally agreed, we were overjoyed. Xindao, this is really rich to make ghosts grind. Although this old man thinks about us and doesn't want to harm us, he doesn't really want to guide us, but now the reason why he is willing to help guide the way is naturally because of money. It seems that this old man is also a lover of money.

Next, the old man led the way, and we followed him straight out of the village.

Maybe it's because he gave him a lot of benefits, but the old man also opened the clip and told us that his surname is He, and he is the seventh in the family, so others call him Helaoqi. And he also took the initiative to care about our going into the water, saying that the river was bottomless, and asked us if we had any diving equipment.

As for the diving equipment, we really didn't have it with us, so all three of them frowned, and in this case, they might have to go to the city to buy equipment.

Knowing that we didn't bring diving equipment, the old man He Laoqi suddenly laughed and said, "To be honest, you shouldn't be from the water conservancy department, right?" ”

This time, Lao Liu Tou didn't deny it, just smiled and didn't say anything.

The old man, He Lao Qi, said, "If I am not mistaken, I am afraid that you are here for the treasure in the River Temple, right?" ”

As soon as we heard this, the three of us were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. At this time, Lao Liu Tou asked, "Brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

He Lao Qi said: "You don't have to hide it from me, people have often come to look for the treasure at the bottom of the river over the years, and I think you should be the same." However, the bottom of the river is much more complicated than you think, and it is impossible to get it without someone to guide you. In the end, he will only be asked by the river god. ”

Old Liu frowned and asked, "Brother, is there really a treasure at the bottom of the river?" ”

He Laoqi nodded and said, "Yes, there are a lot of good things down there." ”

Speaking of this, He Laoqi smiled mysteriously. We were stunned for a moment, and felt that this old man had become a little strange. Because it sounded like this, it seemed that the old man in front of him knew more than just legends, but as if he had gone down to cross the bottom of the river.

Sure enough, I was not the only one who felt this way, but Lao Liu Tou also felt this way, so he asked, "Brother, have you seen it?" ”

Unexpectedly, He Laoqi really nodded and smiled.

Now we are all surprised, you must know that the old man in front of him clearly said that he can't go to the river, and whoever goes down the river will have no return, but why has he himself gone down?

At that moment, I was surprised: "Old man, so you went down to the bottom of the river before?" ”

He Laoqi still smiled and nodded.

At this time, we were interested, especially Lao Liu Tou, and they immediately asked He Laoqi: "Brother, then tell me quickly, is there really a river temple under this river?" ”

"Yes, there is indeed a river temple down there, with golden tiles. But if you go down, you can only get some golden tiles, and you won't be able to get the treasures and antiquities of a thousand years ago. "The river old seven roads.

"Treasures and antiquities from a thousand years ago?" Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, and thought to myself, could there be any other treasure down there besides the gold-covered temple roof?

Old Liu Tou seemed a little excited, because they came for money, and now when he heard that there was not only a gold-covered roof below, but also treasures and antiquities, he was suddenly excited, so he asked He Laoqi: "Brother, since there are treasures and antiquities under the river, why can't you get them?" ”

At this time, He Laoqi said, it turned out that when he was young, because he saw the golden roof when the Yellow River was cut off, he couldn't let go of it for a long time, and after a few years, he secretly went down the river alone. He found that there was indeed a river temple at the bottom of the river, and there was a stone gate next to the river temple, and he got a key to open the door on the offering table of the river temple, so he entered the stone gate and found that there were a lot of treasures inside, but when he was about to take the treasure, he suddenly heard a woman singing in Yiyiya, and knew that it was a ghost, so he didn't dare to take the treasure, and ran back directly.

Later, he also wanted to go down to the river several times, but he was afraid of seeing ghosts, so he never went down again.

Speaking of this, He Laoqi said: "The stone gate can't be opened without the key in my hand, so even if others go down, they won't get the treasures inside." ”

When we heard this, we were all very surprised and surprised. You must know that what He Laoqi said is all secrets, why is he so kind to tell us it? We didn't believe that he would be so kind as to watch someone else steal the treasure below.

People are selfish, people are jealous, and they don't really want to see others get good. If you knew that there was a treasure hidden in a place, would you be so stupid to go around and say to others, "There is a treasure under such and such a place, and I have the key to it?"

Therefore, we reacted at that time, this river old seven is not as simple as we imagined.

At this time, I smiled and said, "Old man, I think you are also planning to go down with us, right?" ”

Sure enough, He Laoqi smiled and said, "I have the key to open the stone door in my hand, but the haunting down there is terrible, but now you have Mr. Yin and Yang with you, I think we can work together." ”

When Lao Liu heard this, he was very excited, you must know that the old man of the river had gone down to the bottom of the river, and with him to guide the way, plus the key in his hand, he was very sure. So, he immediately looked at me and asked me what I meant.

I thought about it, and the map of the Ancient Realm Lake I was looking for was also very likely to be in the stone gate, so I nodded and agreed.

In this way, we and He Laoqi suddenly became a cooperative relationship, they are for money, and I am for the picture.

Now, I have just understood, no wonder the people in the village are reluctant to let us inquire about the River Temple, but this River Lao Qi is willing to tell us so much, and he has long wanted to go down to hunt for treasure with us!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curse in my heart that the old dog was really scheming, if it weren't for listening to him talk about it now, I would really regard him as a kind-hearted, helpful old man. It seems that this person's heart is unpredictable, and he knows people and faces but does not know his heart, which is true.

Since we are already planning to cooperate, it is not bad, at least He Laoqi can show us the way, and he will not go down and touch the dark with his eyes. Anyway, they steal their treasures, and I seek my map, which will only benefit me, not harm.

However, the problem came again, now we don't have diving equipment, that is, we can't go down the river today, and we have to go back to Xingxian to buy equipment.

We talked about this problem, but He Laoqi smiled and told us that it doesn't matter if you don't have an oxygen tank, as long as you enter the stone gate, you won't be afraid, because there is no hole in the stone gate.

When we heard this, we were relieved and continued to walk.

Out of the village, walked for about ten minutes, at this time in front of a low hillside, He Laoqi said, the side of the hill is the Yellow River, that is, we are going to the destination.

There are many strange rocks on the hillside, and there are many crooked and slanting small pine trees, but here it seems that there are people walking, because there is a path in the pine forest of this hill.

He Lao Qi told us that the reason why people often come here is because there is a water ghost yamen on this hill, so the locals often come to burn paper money to worship.

"Water Ghost Yamen?" It's the first time I've heard of this name, so I'm curious.

According to legend, there was a person by the Yellow River who fell into the water and became an official directly in the underworld, so the descendants fished up his body and built a small temple on this hill, called the Water Ghost Yamen. It is said that this water ghost yamen leads directly to the underworld Yin Division, and there are outsiders who are lost in the mountains, once they strayed into the "water ghost yamen", they will unconsciously walk into the Yin Si Yellow Spring, become a lonely ghost, and never return to the yang world.

The "Water Ghost Yamen" is said to be guarded by the water ghost Yin soldiers, and the villagers usually come to the Water Ghost Yamen to worship in order to seek smooth wind and rain on both sides of the Yellow River.

Hearing this, Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Xu were stunned from the bottom of their hearts. He Laoqi said to us that it was best not to come to this place casually, and then urged us to speed up and climb over this hill as soon as possible.

When we reached the top of the hillside, sure enough, in the pine forest on the left, we faintly saw a building, because it was far away, we couldn't see the appearance clearly, only saw an old gate made of earthen walls. I think it should be said that it is the water ghost yamen!

However, I didn't come this time to catch ghosts and subdue demons, so naturally I didn't care if it was a ghost yamen or a temple, so I followed He Laoqi and hurriedly crossed this hill, and finally came to the Yellow River.
