This pond water is by no means as calm, the fat man almost died here before, so the only thing he can count on for this trip is Ye Qiu. () "Plop" into the water, Ye Qiu smashed the bottom of the pool like riding a water-avoiding beast, and the countless strips of cloth floating upwards were like dancing ghost claws, any of them accidentally in this water area would be fatal. The danger could come from underwater, or it could come from behind you, and before long, one of his small coffins was opened and he tried to pull it with his hand, and it was so heavy that it looked like something was hooked underneath. Ye Qiu continued to swim a few more minutes and was about to insert the knife into the bottom of the coffin to pry, but with a force, there was a muffled sound, and suddenly several huge blisters poured out.

Cha Wenbin saw that there were most surges on the surface of the water, and he had already vaguely begun to worry about Ye Qiu, the water here was very deep, and the light was dim, so he couldn't see what was going on down there.

Just when he was so anxious that he was about to do anything, there was a sudden "bang" on the water, and two wooden coffins surfaced......

The coffin floated quietly like that, and he and the fat man both walked to the water's edge and hoped that Ye Qiu would come out soon, but unfortunately it backfired. A minute later, the fat man decisively took off his clothes and jumped down, and in less than half a minute, he surfaced and gasped: "It's a mess down there, it's all mud and sand gushing out, at all." ”

After that, the fat man turned his head and stabbed back again, what Cha Wenbin was most afraid of was that they had an accident underwater, it had been like this several times, Ma Sufeng warned him to stay away from the water before he was alive, and now there is still some truth in what he said. What he feared most was that he would never come up again after going down, just like he did in the heavenly lake in the Rangler Gorge last time.

About a minute later, there was a burst of "gurgling" blisters on the water again, and the series of movements seemed to have something earth-shattering happening below, and after a while, the two of them all surfaced one after the other, Ye Qiu and the fat man were desperately paddling to the shore while saying something, the splash was too loud, Cha Wenbin couldn't hear it clearly, and it wasn't until he was on the shore that he heard the fat man say that he had been "getting rich!" ”

What to make a fortune? This time they're really rich!

Just when Ye Qiu pried open the coffin, suddenly there was a shining white light under the material, he thought that it was not a stone knocked down by the fat man and wanted to pick it up by the way, who knew that suddenly his hand was caught by a thing, and the water immediately began to become turbid, and the water began to bubble up and rise continuously.

"......" A huge river mussel-like thing was carried out by the two of them, Cha Wenbin only felt that this was too exaggerated, do you know the iron pot used for cooking rice in the countryside? I guess it's about the size of one and a half things, and it's black and shiny. Just now Ye Qiu was caught by this thing, and for a while, he was trapped with those messy strips of cloth, and the fat man kept touching it with his eyes closed for the second time, and finally Ye Qiu was brought up by the way.

As he spoke, he took out a handful of mud and sand from his trouser pocket, this was the tool he used to save Ye Qiu just now, only to see the fat man slowly sprinkle the mud and sand along the mouth of the river mussel, and it didn't take long for the river mussel to slowly open the thick mussel shell, no wonder the fat man said that he was going to get rich, it turned out that there was a fist-sized bead in the mouth of the giant river mussel, and a crystal warm white light suddenly made this dark time bright. Especially the beads were still slightly green in white, and the fat man rubbed his hands and said, "He***, this trip is not in vain." "It turns out that the fat man often went down to the river to dig this thing when he was a child, and once the river mussels were combined, the strength was amazing, and it was almost impossible to open with external force. In fact, you only need to grab a handful of mud and sand and wipe it on the seal of its mussel shell, and it will open automatically, and the river mussel actually can't tolerate sand.

I am afraid that there are few pearls of such a big size in the world, and they all say that the mussels are big and the pearls are big, but who has ever seen such a giant river mussel? And it's a living! However, it is not easy to get the pearl inside, if you rush to reach out for it, it is a clip, unless you can be as fast as the thief Rong Ping's board, or you can only pick up five or six halves like a fat man, ready to shoot at its softest part.

At this time, the two dolls hugged the fat man's thighs left and right, and the two children kept shaking their heads at the fat man with innocent expressions, and the fat man was afraid that they would bite again, but no matter how they shook them, they couldn't shake them off, so they could only keep shouting: "Go away, go away!" ”

Seeing that the two children were acting very strangely, Cha Wenbin squatted down and pointed at the river mussel and said, "Does that thing have anything to do with you?" ”

The two children nodded their heads at the same time as if a chicken pecked rice, and the fat man was afraid that the treasure in his hand would be lost again, so he immediately shouted: "Don't listen to these two little liars talking nonsense, this is fooling us, they are both little ghosts here, so naturally they can't let us take the things here." ”

But Cha Wenbin said: "Don't worry, why do I have some evil sects with that bead, how can it emit that dim green light." ”

After that, Cha Wenbin lit a stick of incense, but as soon as the incense was lit, it floated towards the river mussel, and the fat man said: "In these years, even the river mussel has become a fine, he ***, don't you want us to give it before we burn it." ”

Cha Wenbin picked up the boy and pointed to the pearl in the mussel and said, "Is there your soul locked up in there?" ”

The boy nodded, and Cha Wenbin put it down and said, "Sure enough, this thing is not a treasure but a complete evil thing." He said to the fat man: "This thing has a name called the soul mussel, as the name suggests, it is to raise the pearl in its body with the soul of a person, and the soul will become extremely fierce because it is locked in this river mussel and cannot get out, if there is no tomb top, it will open its mouth every fifteenth day of the lunar calendar to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon." After that, Cha Wenbin said: "There is already a lot of moss growing on it, and everyone hasn't paid attention to it just now, if you don't believe it, you will find that it must have a soul-binding formation on its back when it closes the lid in a while." ”

"It doesn't matter if he's a soul clam or a bastard, as long as there's only one pearl in it, it's fine, the fist-sized pearl, Cha Ye!"

Cha Wenbin shook his head and said: "It's useless, it's raised with yin qi, this bead will be shriveled in just three days unless you soak it in human blood every day, and whoever feeds it with blood's vitality will be sucked away by it until you are sucked dry." This kind of thing has always been heard of along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are even more hateful things that directly bury boys and girls in it, and some people specially cultivate this giant river mussel for this purpose. ”

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft water, there is a lack of enough wood in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and in the past, after people died, they were either buried on the spot with a roll of straw mats, or they were burned with a fire and filled with lime in a jar. According to the book "Yi Zhou Shu? Wang Hui Xie records that someone in ancient Yue specially cultivated a huge river mussel, which was also used to raise pearls at first, but it was found that the size of the pearl was not large at all, and people found that the body shape of this mussel shell could be taken down for coffins, which was especially suitable for the burial of some children.

Soon after, a fisherman found that the pearl had become several times larger in the mussels where the child had been buried, so he took out the pearl and presented it to the king of Yue, who was very pleased and gave the fisherman a reward. But after a few days, the pearl turned shriveled and useless, and the king was so angry that he felt that the fisherman was deceiving him, and beheaded him. In order to set an example, the king specially ordered the shriveled pearl and the corpse to be put together, who would have expected that the pearl would miraculously bulge when it touched human blood.

As a result, this kind of pearl raised in human blood began to be popular in the upper class society of the ancient Yue Kingdom, and a large number of slaves and criminals were killed to take blood for this peculiar bead to maintain its gorgeous image. It is said that pearls that have been sucked on human blood will eventually turn red, and the more blood they are soaked, the darker the color, which means the more precious they are.

But in the end, this perverted and unethical evil creature was overthrown by the people who rose up along with the ancient country, and the huge river mussel that was bred at the beginning was also thrown into the sea of fire, and since then this species called the soul mussel has disappeared, and I didn't expect it to exist underwater here. This also applied to the legend recorded in the book, so Cha Wenbin said to the fat man: "It is an evil thought that should be eliminated, whoever wears this thing on his body will be drained of his blood, why don't you try it?" ”

The pale yellow flesh that kept squirming up and down in the river mussel, the fat man suddenly felt nauseous, so Cha Wenbin's mouth was pried open and the coffin floating on the water said: "The bodies of those two children are buried in the coffin, but the soul is sealed in the river mussel, and if we open one of them, we will be retaliated by the evil thoughts of being sealed, but unfortunately, how did the talisman on this coffin break." ”

There were many coffins under the water, each with a sigil attached to it, some of which were rotten but still faintly recognizable, but the seals on these two coffins were missing.

Cha Wenbin picked up the virgin and said, "Little friend, it's time to go where you should go, close your eyes." ”

Then he said to the fat man, "Take out the pearl from the mussel and divide it into five, and while it is still intact, grind the pearl into powder and pour it into the mouths of these two children." ”

"Pour it down?" The fat man was a little reluctant and said: "Cha Ye, you are really generous, do you know how expensive this pearl powder is?" ”

"Expensive?" Cha Wenbin said: "Since it's so expensive, I'll leave you a bite for a while......
