The old man said, "The river god probably doesn't want others to disturb his tranquility, so anyone who goes down to the river will be taken away by the river god and will not be able to go ashore alive." From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people have died there, all of them are people like you who don't listen to persuasion. ”

At this, the old man glanced at us coldly, as if he had seen several dead bodies about to die.

Lao Liu Tou and I frowned, saying that they were not afraid, it was false, listening to the old man talk about it so terrifying, who would not be afraid, not to mention that I did die there in my previous life.

At this time, Xiao Xu said: "There won't be such an evil sect, right?" ”

The old man smiled: "What I said is the truth, over the years, several people have gone down the river in search of the river temple, and the result is that they have never come ashore again. I'm advising you to leave it at that, don't go looking for any river temple, and if you don't listen to it, I can't help it. ”

I looked at Lao Liu Tou and me, and I said, "Lao Liu, I don't think the old gentleman will lie to us, maybe it's really as dangerous as he said, you see...... Why don't you take Xiao Xu and go home! ”

I really want to persuade Lao Liu Tou to give up, and I don't want them to lose their lives for money. However, Lao Liu said: "So far, Xiao Liu is dead, and I can't let him die in vain." Xiao Xu, why don't you go back, you're still young. He looked at Xiao Xu as he spoke.

"You're not afraid, I'm afraid of anything, since you're all here, thank you for going back. I'd better follow you! Xiao Xu was silent for a while and replied.

Seeing that neither of them intends to give up, I am not good at persuading them, after all, if I always persuade them to go back, perhaps they will think that I want to monopolize the treasures below.

At this time, Xiao Xu took the initiative to ask the old man: "Old man, the river temple has always been at the bottom of the river, has anyone seen it?" ”

The old man said, "Very few people have seen it. ”

"So you mean, or a few people have seen it?" Xiao Xu said in surprise.

The old man nodded and said, "When the Yellow River is cut off, people can see something exposed at the bottom of the river." ”

"Oh?" I frowned, so I asked curiously: "Old man, you have lived for dozens of years, you should have seen it when the Yellow River broke off, I don't know what will be exposed at the bottom of the river?" ”

"Yes, yes, tell us about it!" Xiao Xu also urged.

The old man looked out of the village, as if he was recalling the past, and after a moment of silence, he spoke slowly: "I did see it once more than forty years ago. ”

Seeing that the old man had really seen it, the three of us were overjoyed, so we asked him about the situation at that time, was it the river temple or the tomb of the river god?

The old man saw that we were so curious, and told us what he had experienced more than forty years ago......

It turned out that more than forty years ago, the old man was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, and he was a half-grown child. That year, the Yellow River broke off, and the riverbed was exposed in many places, but in the section of the Yellow River two miles away from the village, it was reported that a large piece of gold appeared in the river!

There was gold in the river, and it was a large piece of gold, and the news naturally blew up in this village, and all the villagers, old and young, men and women, flocked to the place where the incident occurred, and the old man also went at that time.

When I arrived at the Yellow River, I saw that a large piece of gold appeared in the Yellow River, which was as big as dozens of square meters, and it was brilliant and dazzling.

At that time, people were dumbfounded, such a big piece of gold, who is not excited to look at it? Who isn't dumbfounded? Not to mention that in those days, families were very poor, even if such a large piece of gold appeared in the river in this year, it was a terrible thing.

The villagers thought they were dazzled, but when everyone was convinced that this was not a dream, everyone wondered, how could there be such a big amount of gold in the Yellow River? At this time, people looked closely, and found that it was not a complete piece of gold, but was stacked up by pieces, each piece of gold was the size of a tile, stacked on top of each other for more than a dozen square sizes, and the overall shape was high in the middle, low on both sides, and it was inclined to look like the roof of a house. In other words, there is a house under the Yellow River, which is paved with golden tiles!

This kind of battle blinded everyone's eyes, and many people's jaws almost fell to the ground in surprise.

At this time, many people couldn't bear it anymore and said that they wanted to get gold. But at this time, some of the older generations jumped out to stop it, saying that they couldn't fight the idea of gold.

Some young people asked the old people, "The gold in this river is ownerless, why can't you take it, and what is in your way if I take it?"

That's right, even if you take the gold in the Yellow River, it's not illegal.

However, at this time, the old man said that this gold has a master, and this owner is the river god, because this golden tile is built on the river temple! Whoever wants to fight the river god should be careful of losing his life.

As soon as I heard this, I really scared the big guys, because there has been a legend of the river temple here since ancient times. Before, everyone just didn't know the specific location, but now that the old man said this, it was obvious that just like he said, these golden tiles might really be the roof of the River Temple.

In other words, this place happens to be the bay of a river, and in other places the river section is cut off and the bottom of the river is exposed, and even the riverbed is cracked. But the bay was still bottomless, and only a roof made of golden tiles was exposed, and no one knew what was under the roof.

Because the old people said that this was a river temple, naturally everyone didn't dare to move, you must know that offending the gods is not a joke. This is like the golden body of the Bodhisattva in the temple, even if it is made of gold, it is impossible for a few people to dare to steal it.

However, it is absolutely impossible to say, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and there are always some people who are not afraid of death for money, just like there are two around me, one is Lao Liu Tou, and the other is Xiao Xu. And there are naturally many people like Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Xu in the world.

In this way, when the news spread that there was a lot of gold in the Yellow River, people dozens of miles away also heard about it, so many people ran over to get the gold.

At this time, the old people of the temple village also came to stop it, and did not let outsiders take it. Moreover, the old people also sent a few villagers from Shenmiao Village to guard the Yellow River.

But who knows, those people from other villages who came left at that time, but they ran back the next day, and brought a large group of people, at least twenty or thirty, all middle-aged men.

At this time, the villagers of Temple Village couldn't stop it, and the other party also said, this is the river god's thing, and it's not something buried in your village, why should you stop us.

What the other party said was right, but it couldn't be reasonable, and there weren't as many people as the other party using force, so the villagers of Temple Village had no choice but to watch them go to get gold.

As it was said, the twenty or thirty villagers from other villages soon swam to the middle of the river, ran to the golden roof, shouted excitedly, and held pieces of golden vana in both hands so happily that they couldn't close their mouths.

At this time, some young people in the temple village couldn't stand it anymore, and when they saw someone going to get the gold, they wanted to get it too. However, they were all scolded by the old people, saying that whoever took it would cause a big disaster. Moreover, he will no longer be a villager of the temple village in the future. Because the temple village is inhabited by people of the same clan, the punishment for expulsion from the village is very severe.

In this way, no one in the temple village dared to fight the idea of gold, so they stood on the shore and watched.

Besides, the twenty or thirty villagers from the outer village picked up a large pile of golden tiles, wrapped them in clothes, and were about to swim back, but suddenly all of them fell silent, and sat on the golden roofs one by one, not moving, not even speaking.

At this time, the villagers on the shore were curious, and they were all wondering what they were doing, why did they all sit down, could it be that they were tired?

However, after a few minutes, half an hour later, the villagers remained motionless, even without blinking their eyelids, as if they were asleep.

At this time, the villagers on the shore knew that something was wrong, so they shouted at them, what are you doing, are you okay?

But after shouting several times, the people in the middle of the river were stunned and did not respond, and they still sat there motionless. If one person sits there and doesn't move, that's normal, but if all twenty or thirty people sit there and don't move, it's a bit abnormal.

At this time, the old man on the shore said, retribution, this must be the river god punishing them and fixing them.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback. Originally, some people wanted to row over to see what was going on with those people, but they didn't dare to go over when they heard this.

In this way, it soon got dark, and the villagers on the shore decided to inform the village where the people were and call their families to come and find a solution. At the same time, a few villagers were left to guard by the river.

Those people from the outer villages in the middle of the river are twenty or thirty miles away from the temple village, and they have to inform the people in their village, but they can't be notified immediately.

It wasn't until about three o'clock in the second half of the night that the people from the outer village rushed over in a panic, but when they rushed to the river, they saw only a bare golden roof, and the twenty or thirty people who had been sitting on the golden roof in the middle of the river were all gone!
