Chapter 544: Asking
——————
The place where the sea gods live is not far from the sea, but downstream, next to the riverbank, there are several courtyards, and there is a temple at the front gate of Buddha Head Town, the temple worships incense all the year round, and most of them are people from the sea, and they burn incense and worship before going for safety, but they also know that this temple often puts dead bodies that have not been recognized from the sea, so they will never come unless necessary.
Today's weather is bad and gloomy, because people have just died, and there are fewer people who come to worship incense, and it seems that this temple is very deserted.
Several young people took the heads to the front of the courtyard, burned incense and kowtowed to the Buddha's head, and then they were about to enter the courtyard, but before entering the courtyard, the young man suddenly looked back.
I saw a young woman holding an umbrella, this woman was quite tall, with long legs and a thin waist, and she was dressed in a slim but chic man's uniform, which was very suave and sultry.
is that the face is average, clear and delicate, and it is not attractive.
"Why did you follow us here? If you don't make it clear, don't blame our brothers for being polite. ”
Zhang Zijian's face was not good-looking, but Gu Yu raised his eyebrows, only stepped forward, and threw out a bag when everyone was on guard and hostile and almost moved, the bag was heavy and flew over....
Zhang Zijian caught it, opened the bag and saw that there were heavy gold ingots inside.
"Take money to get the corpse, ask for money to do things, this is the rule of your sea god, since I came to the door and gave money, the right to see if you accept this deal. ”
Gu Yu walked past a few people, not afraid of their refusal.... It is true that there is no refusal.
Zhang Zijian glanced at the rest of the people.
These ingots add up to at least two or three hundred taels, which is enough for their income for a year.
This can be bought and sold.
————————
The temple is not shabby, but because it is inhabited by some big men, don't think about it too clean, the chairs and tables are vacated on the left and right, and an old man seems to be their master, looking at the gold ingots, and then looking at Gu Yao.
"Is the girl going to catch people? Do you want to find them first, or do you want to fish only people?"
Gu Yu looked at the old man and said goodbye, so he smiled, picked up the teacup, found that the tea leaves in the teacup had old stalks, raised his eyebrows, and put it down again.
That's a branch.
It's a stingy way of hospitality.
"I don't want to find people, but I can find people, but only if I ask you something first. ”
This is asking for the message.
There was no shortage of such customers in the past, Zhang Zijian sent others to buy wine and meat, and ate and drank a lot at night, but he also pricked up his ears to listen.
"I wonder what the girl wants to ask?"
"When did this Quanzhou Bay start to be unpeaceful?"
The old man looked up at Gu Yu and lowered his eyes, "Those who walk in the mountains and swim in the water, there are always dead people, and they have never been peaceful." ”
Old fritters, this is, Gu Yu is not in a hurry, "Then talk about when it starts to die frequently." ”
This question is very straightforward, the old man's eyes drooped, and he saw Gu Yu's hand serving tea, such a hand, he had never seen it in those pampered boudoir ladies, and he felt completely different from mortals when he looked at it.
There is an aura.
It seems to be a descendant.
The old man is an old fritter, and when he saw that Gu Yu was not a mortal, he didn't sell it, so he said: "About three months ago, to this day, there are about seven or eight waves, and I can't come back when I go to sea like this, and there will be one wave in three months, and I know at a glance that it is a shipwreck, and the sky can't tolerate it, but these few times.... Too often, and death is not right. ”
Three months ago, the Nine Yin and Seven Evils hadn't come out yet, and that wasn't quite right.
Gu Yu folded his hands, "What's wrong?"
"Just like this time, there is no demonic spirit, no evil spirit, and it is not a ghost, it looks like it is man-made, but how can people have such a ability to reach the sky, let's just say that at the beginning of Boss Lei, the boat floated back, and the people were gone, so it was empty of a boat, saying that it was hit by the waves, there was nothing wrong with the boat, and there was no standing water, and it was unlikely that Boss Lei jumped into the sea by himself, and it was not stupid. Later, Jiang Laosan was also strange that time, after going out, he encountered a heavy rain, and came back and said that three people were swept away by the sea, which is also normal, the evil is the living Jiang Laosan, they refused to go out again, and they did not go to sea, and then they either disappeared, or disappeared with their families..."
Gu Yu smiled, "Have the old-timers been to see their residence?"
The old man blinked his mouth, "I just fished out the corpse, and I can see what is famous, but I heard that the people from the Taoist Academy have seen it, and they haven't found anything, but they just think it is Jiang Laosan and they feel unlucky, and they take their family away." ”
This is a possibility, and there is also a possibility that the evil people used some imperceptible evil arts, or that the righteous people did it.
However, Gu Yu searched the ship by himself, and also checked those heads, but he didn't catch any residual breath, if he could really hide it from her, he should be the strongest person in the king level, or Tianzong, where would he condescend to do such a thing, even a sneeze can make all the people in this port die.
So it's kind of interesting.
"Is there any other strange thing happening in Quanzhou Bay? Is it often raining and dark clouds lately?"
Gu Yu still paid more attention to this kind of vision, and felt that it might be related to the barbarism or the yin power of the Nine Yin and Seven Evils.
"It's raining and clouds? It's true, the last month has been raining a lot, and shipping is very difficult, after all, I'm most afraid of some storms and waves at sea, but the girl wants to ask what is special about our place." ”
Gu Yu raised his eyebrows, "The old-timers are people who understand, and they can understand me well, and they won't lose your remuneration." ”
The old man stroked his beard and said: "Speaking of our Quanzhou, shipping has been prosperous since the Sui Dynasty, and it is even more prosperous in this dynasty, but I don't know if it was hundreds of years ago, anyway, it was a long, long time ago, saying that our Quanzhou Bay is the Bay of the Dead." ”
Gu Yu sighed lightly, Dead Man's Bay, she had heard of it in modern times.
However, the history at that time was not the same as now, that is, Taiwan did not belong to the Central Plains at that time, and became a country of its own, and there were several dynasties in history that fought with Liuqiu, for example, in 610 years of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent Wu Benlang to Chen Ling, and Zhang Zhenzhou, the court, led more than 10,000 Dongyang soldiers from Yi'an to attack the Liuqiu country, and later Liuqiu also counterattacked, and the battle range reached the port riverbank, and many people died, and the dead bodies were thrown directly to Quanzhou Bay, so it was also called the Bay of the Dead.
But the old man didn't seem to be the same.
"Why is it said that it is the Bay of the Dead, it is said that hundreds of years ago, when our evil way in Quanzhou was prosperous, the people were not able to survive, and they all ran here to jump into the sea by themselves, and there were many people who jumped, and the corpses were landfilled, and the accumulated number was enough to reach the water level of the port, but it was very miserable. ”
Gu Yu didn't believe it, and chuckled: "This is a statement on the surface, right, the old-timers still have something to hide?"
The old man pursed his lips and was a little reluctant to speak, but when he saw Gu Yu knocking on the table with his fingers and seeing her smiling or not smiling, he secretly thought that this person was probably not a good person, based on his own safety.....
"Okay, I'll tell you honestly, the reason why I'm so taboo is because it involves the royal family, at that time the royal family was still in power after Yan, the Li royal family was killed a lot, and there were unwilling people who fled to seek trouble, among which there was a Yan King Li Jingzhong came to our Quanzhou, and I don't know who learned the witchcraft from him, demagoguery, and bewitched the people of Quanzhou into slaves, and jumped into the sea one by one, saying that it was jumping into the sea, in fact, it should be some kind of evil art, and there was no other plan, but then it was the Empress Yan who noticed it in time and disposed of it, and the descendants did not know what happened, plus the Li family later, this kind of thing is not disgraceful, so it is suppressed. ”
He didn't mention that Empress Yan was the Demon Emperor, also because he was used to it, or he didn't have a good impression of the Li family.
That's right, since ancient times, there have been good and bad people in the royal family, the good ones are hard to see, but the bad ones are obvious, for example, Li Jingzhong took the evil way, and he directly killed so many people in Quanzhou, no wonder these older generations are not very interested in the Li family.
There are many dead people, and it is not surprising that the yin qi is heavy, when there are many people coming and going, the yang qi is suppressed, and this port should have been suppressed by a formation back then, so there has been no accident for many years, but this year is different.
After Gu Yu asked this, the old man had nothing to say, so Gu Yu proposed to go and see the residence of Jiang Laosan and others, and the old man asked Zhang Zijian to lead the way.
——————
"What's so nice about the old man Jiang's place, people go to tea and cool, the houses are deserted, and the people on our side think it's bad luck there, and they don't want to go over, and it looks a lot more gloomy. ”
Zhang Zijian loves beauty, and he has no interest in a delicate girl like Gu Yu, so he just says a few more words because she is in good shape and pleasing to the eye, of course, if he can have a storm, he is also willing.
Gu Yao couldn't see this person's plan, but she hadn't seen anything in the world, so she didn't bother to care about his careful thoughts, so she talked a few words casually on the way, and waited until she got to the place.....
Sure enough, it was very depressed.
The grass was three feet high, and the leaves outside the house were thick, and the cobwebs were all over the place, and it was also very gloomy.
Zhang Zijian pushed open the door, shook his hand, and made a few noises, disgusted with the dust, but found that although the person who came in behind him was not very beautiful, he was pampered at first glance, and he should love cleanliness, which surprised him.
The girl looked at the bed, then at the kitchen, at the pots and pans, and at the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
But I didn't delay the time and went out soon.
"Okay, let's go. ”
Zhang Zijian found out that the other party did not resist his proposal, so he felt strange and called her after going out.
"Do you see something?"
He is not stupid, he has long seen a little bit from his master's words and expressions - this woman is very extraordinary.
So he just thought about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to take advantage of it, but now he really can't help it.
Yet the woman did not answer her, but asked him.
"Do you know how to dig the ground?"
"Yes, but..."
"Dig!"
Who are you to think of yourself! Why should I help you dig the ground, insane!
Zhang Zijian just wanted to scare Gu Yu, but he saw the other party's eyes.
After three breaths, Zhang Zijian obediently picked up the hoe that was placed casually next to the gate of Lei Lao Da and dug it one by one.
Gu Yu looked at it with his hands on his chest, seemingly a little lazy.
A dozen hoes went down.....
"What the hell are you digging for, I haven't eaten yet, I'm starving to death, I don't have the strength...."Zhang Zijian complained a little.
"Dig it. ”
Zhang Zijian looked back, just a hoe went down, soft something, smashed by the hoe, splashed out....
Corpse fluid.
He saw a rotten belly.
