Chapter 201: Green Jade Pendant
I took a small box handed over by the old man, and when I opened it, I realized that it was something similar to an oxygen cylinder.
"This thing was given to me by Aunt Qiao a long time ago, and she said to use it for those who should give it." The old man looked at me, and there was a determined light in his cloudy eyes: "Before Aunt Qiao got married, she was a very powerful soothsayer in our Black Miao clan, and she knew so many things, you can't imagine how powerful your grandmother is." She used to divinate that forty years later, someone would go down to the river. She asked me to give it to the person who was going to go down the river, so I thought, if you really want to go down the river, this thing should be right for you. ”
Oxygen cylinders from forty years ago?
I looked at the small bottle in front of me and felt incredible.
"Does this thing still work?" Wen Jie looked at the old man.
The old man smiled and nodded: "According to Aunt Qiao's instructions, I will take this bottle to the mountains every year to ventilate." It should be usable, you can try it first. ”
I looked at the old man suspiciously, thanked him, and then turned to leave, continuing towards the river.
Whether what he said was true or not, since he said that the things were left by my grandmother, then my grandmother would definitely not harm me.
As long as there is oxygen, even if I encounter the river god again in the river, I will at least have the ability to protect myself.
As I walked to the river, I studied the oxygen tank, which was probably the same as we usually use.
As long as I pin it to my waist and take another tube and put it in my mouth, it's not a big problem.
"As before, as long as I pull the rope under the box, you will try to pull me up with all your strength, and the aquatic grass underneath is really too powerful, and the strength is very strong. So please. ”
I looked at Usiken and Al firmly, these two boys had more strength, and I didn't expect the other two girls.
Wu Xiken nodded, signaling that I was reassured.
Before, they didn't dare to use force, because they thought I had encountered something under the water, so they deliberately fought with them for hemp rope, so they didn't dare to pull harder anymore.
They didn't even think that I was actually entangled in water weeds.
Because in their established perception, the river water is crystal clear, and there are no aquatic plants at all.
After listening to my explanation, they probably knew, and they didn't dare to disobey my orders.
Al patted his chest: "Don't worry, Brother Xiaojie, as long as you pull the thick hemp rope this time, I will immediately use all my strength to pull you up, I won't let you get hurt again!" ”
Seeing his determined eyes, I nodded.
With all my gear packed, I threw myself into the river and dived.
This is not too big, and it is not too small.
If Uncle Jin was there, it would take four hours to cross the river.
If you are in the river, there is no purpose to find something, it is a very difficult thing, and now I am the only one who can go down the river.
I can only follow my instincts.
When I went down the river in the early hours of the morning, I saw the river god about two or three kilometers away.
He wouldn't be in that place for no reason, unless something was there to restrain him and allow him to move freely within a given range.
So I guess it's not far from where he appeared that the thing that held him back will be found.
Sure enough, I swam around the place where the river god had appeared, and my headlamp pointed to the bottom of the river, and there was a place where it was shining.
When I dived further, I found that the shiny thing was a jade pendant.
I have seen this jade pendant, and it is at Zhang Ruo's house.
At that time, after Zhang Piao died, the corpse became a living dead, and he didn't know that he had cheated the corpse, precisely because of a piece of green jade pendant that restrained him.
That piece of jade pendant was finally purified by me.
I guess this piece of jade is made of the same jade as the last one, because it is very similar in both color and luster.
The only thing that is different is the carving of this piece of jade.
The last piece of jade, if I'm not mistaken, should be a dog, and this piece of jade is a dragon.
What does that mean?
The two species put together reminds me of the zodiac.
Does this have anything to do with the zodiac?
I can't care so much, the oxygen tank in my hand is almost out of gas, so I can only hurry upstream.
I pulled the rope and they quickly pulled me up.
When they saw that I had got the piece of jade, they were a little surprised.
"Didn't anything happen this time? Why did it go so well? Usiken asked.
That's one of the questions I'm thinking about.
This time, I didn't see the river god, and there were no water plants wrapping around my feet.
But I don't know why, the injured foot in the morning has not bled since I entered the stockade.
But for some reason, when I came up from the river, my feet started bleeding again.
Seeing the constant bleeding on my leg, I probably understood.
Because my blood has been changed by my grandmother, it can drive out evil spirits.
So when my feet bleed, the water plants and the river gods were gone.
The river god is a filthy air, I know it.
And the aquatic weeds are obviously a fantasy made by people.
As long as the nearby filthy aura dissipates, the aquatic plants will be invisible.
"I don't see anything down there, it's much better than this morning." I spread out my palm, and there was a green jade pendant lying inside.
"This is what I picked up in the river, and I guess it's something that controls synthesis. I'll do it a little later, and see if I can get rid of the river god. If you can, you can cross the river safely. In the future, there is no need for someone from the Jin family to be a boatman, and everyone can safely go to the other side from the river. ”
After I came up, many villagers in the vicinity who saw me going down the river also surrounded me.
They didn't think that someone could come back to shore alive from the river.
And I'm the first person in history.
At this time, where do they remember what they have said on behalf of me, they have already regarded me as a god.
"Wen Jie, then let's go back to the village and change our clothes first, and then go to my house for dinner." One of them, a dark-skinned villager, smiled at me with a dog's leg, which was obviously flattering to me, but I didn't need to.
I shook my head and turned back to the stockade, but I wouldn't go to his house, and I wouldn't leave the stockade.
Now I'm a meritorious person, and there is no way to drive me away with your ability alone, and so many people have watched what I have done today recently.
Wu Xiken reached out and pulled me up: "Let's go, go to my house first, and I'll help you deal with the wound by the way." ”
