The house is not big, it is a ruined and ruined temple, and in the dilapidated and dilapidated temple, there is a clay statue standing directly above it, and there is nothing else.

This clay statue looks like it has been some years old, and the appearance of the clay statue has been stripped away, but the appearance of this clay statue is still clearly visible, this clay statue is not another immortal Bodhisattva, but the river god Hebo. Because the appearance of this clay statue is exactly the same as the stone statue of Hebo in the temple of the river god in the river.

In front of the statue of Hebo, there is a altar table, incense is still burning in the incense burner on the table, and under the table, there is a kneeling person, muttering something to the river god, and the voice we heard outside the house before was made by this person. This person is none other than the He Laoqi we are looking for!

I was really surprised to see He Laoqi here, to be honest, because He Laoqi told us before that there are Yin soldiers and water ghosts in this place, and if anyone breaks into this place by mistake, they will walk into the underworld and never come back. But now that He Laoqi has appeared here alone, he has to be suspicious.

However, I don't have the heart to think about it so much at the moment, just as the so-called enemy is red-eyed when they meet, not to mention that we have no grudge against this old man at all, but he still harms us like this, do you think I can not be angry? I immediately rushed in, kicked him in the back, kicked him on the ground a few times, and fell directly to the feet of the river god clay statue.

He Laoqi let out a miserable scream, and when he saw that it was me, he reacted, and then his eyes widened with horror, as if he had seen a ghost, and his whole body trembled with fright, and his body moved back, pointing at us and shouting with trembling teeth: Ghost ...... Ghost...... Ghost......

Seeing him scared like that, I also understood, he thought he had seen a ghost, maybe he never dreamed that we would come out alive.

At this time, Lao Liu Tou walked up and gave him a punch, scolding: "Okay, you old thing, if it weren't for our fate this time, we would really have to become a ghost." ”

He Lao Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "You...... You didn't ...... Not dead? ”

"God long-eyed, you traitor is fine, how can you let us die so quickly. You are an old immortal, I didn't expect you to have a bad stomach and dare to hurt Lao Tzu, see that I don't clean you up this day. Lao Liu Tou obviously remembered that he was almost killed by He Laoqi before, and he suddenly became angry, and he had the urge to end this old thing.

He Lao Qi was also frightened, and begged us with his head in his arms, asking us to let him go.

Old Liu Tou clenched his fist and said hatefully: "Let you go? Have you ever thought about letting us go, Lao Tzu almost can't come back today, it's all thanks to you, the old dog. ”

To be honest, being so yin was also very angry. Lao Liu Tou is right, if we hadn't created a great culture today, we would have been killed by this old thing.

However, as a result, he was spilled out of the anger in his heart, and his heart was happy, but it was not what I wanted, first, I wanted to know why this old thing wanted to harm us, and secondly, how to say that this is also a human life, and now that we have come out alive, we naturally can't commit a murderous crime.

I was so concerned in my heart, so I patted Lao Liu's shoulder and signaled not to be impulsive for the time being, and then I walked up to He Laoqi and asked him: "If you want to live, I can promise you, but you also know that this time we were almost planted in your hands, and now Xiao Xu, who went down with us, will never come back." So, you'd better give us a reasonable explanation, we have no grudge against you in the past life, and no enmity in this life, why do you want to harm us? ”

Actually, I have thought before, will this He Laoqi be the imperial doctor who committed adultery with Niangniang in the previous life? So in this life, killing Xiao Xu and those two blue-headed ghosts below can be regarded as revenge. However, I soon rejected this speculation, because if he was a doctor in his previous life, it would be impossible for him to remember the events of the previous life in this life, and even if he remembered the events of the previous life, then he could completely save Niangniang. Obviously, none of this makes sense.

He Laoqi seemed to know that we would ask him this, he was silent for a while, and then he even said a reason that made us feel inexplicable, he said: "I am duty, and I have to do this." ”

Now we were stunned, confused, what duty is going to harm us?

At that moment, Lao Liu Tou felt that this old guy was lying, and he wanted to go up and beat him up, and scolded: "Lao Tzu sees that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, and you don't give up until you reach the Yellow River, so you have to give you some color to see, and you are willing to tell the truth." ”

He Laoqi shrank in fright, and shouted in panic: "Don't ...... Don't hit me, what I said is true, I didn't lie to you, I really have a duty, because you want to find the treasures of the River Temple, and after a long persuasion to no avail, I have to do this. ”

I didn't know what he meant, but I didn't think he was telling a lie, so I asked him what was going on and explained it to us.

At this time, He Laoqi also knew that if he didn't tell the ins and outs of the matter, maybe he wouldn't be able to survive today, so he told the truth 1510.

It turned out that this river old seven turned out to be the descendants of the river god Hebo, who had lived here for generations, even if the dynasty changed, they had never migrated, in order to guard the tomb of the ancestor of their river clan. In other words, the people of this temple village have been burdened with a duty unknown to outsiders for generations, and that is the tomb keeper!

Hearing this, Lao Liu Tou and I both frowned, no wonder since we entered the temple village to inquire about the river temple, the villagers are looking at us with hatred, hostile, and want to coax us out of the village, feeling that the existence of these people is actually to protect the river god.

My name is Helaoqi, and I will continue to speak.

He Laoqi sighed, and then began to speak, saying that he originally wanted to persuade us to leave, and also used the fact that the river god would ask for people's lives to scare us, hoping to scare us away. However, we were unmoved, and insisted on going to the River Temple for the treasures inside. So, as a descendant of the River Clan, he had the responsibility of guarding the god of the River Clan, so he had to trick us into the dungeon at the bottom of the river to get rid of the trouble.

After explaining this, He Laoqi spread his hands, looking like he was going to kill or kill you, and said: "This is the way it is, I persuaded you to leave, warned you that you would lose your life for this, but you yourself did not listen to the persuasion, and you had to go down for the sake of money and interests, can you blame me all?" If it weren't for your greed for money, how could you have suffered such a calamity? ”

"You still dare to be fucking hard-mouthed, I'll break your teeth......" Lao Liu raised his fist and was about to beat He Laoqi, but I stopped him.

I sighed, pressed Lao Liu's fist, and said, "It's not to blame what he said, you can't blame him for it." ”

After listening to He Laoqi explain the reason, the little fire in my heart was almost completely extinguished. Now it seems that this matter really can't be blamed on River Laoqi, he is not as bad as I thought before, so insidious and vicious. Because the reason why he harmed us is indeed because he has his own suffering, as he said, he has to do it.

Think about it, if someone wants to rob your family's ancestral treasures, what will happen to you?

What He Laoqi said may be right, if we weren't greedy for money and interests, how could we be harmed? Obviously, the bottom of the Yellow River is very dangerous, but for what we want, we still voluntarily fall into it, who can blame it? Perhaps, this time is our fate, if we really die below, it will be self-inflicted!

Thinking about this, I don't plan to embarrass the river anymore. However, I didn't come for money, but for the map of the Ancient Lake, which is more important to me than my life, and I have to get it. Now, listening to what He Lao Qi said, it is even more confirmed that there is indeed a river temple or river god tomb in this place. So I asked He Laoqi: "The 'River God Tomb' under the river is fake, but it is actually a dungeon for a Qing Dynasty concubine, and the river temple in the river is not a real river temple, right?" ”

He Laoqi glanced at me, then lowered his head and remained silent without saying a word.

Seeing his expression, I knew I was right, so I continued to ask, "Where is the real River Temple or Tomb of the River God?" ”
