Chapter 41: The Past

"About 60 years ago, when I was only a teenager, working on a cargo ship, it was still a time of chaos, and the boss of the ship was the old rivers and lakes on the river, and I did both black and white business. ”

In the quiet teahouse room, Mr. Zhao's old voice was high and low, and his eyes became a little distant, as if he had fallen into a long memory.

"At that time, life was hard, and I couldn't even eat a full meal. The boat boss hits people at every turn...... Fortunately, there was a kind Brother Li covering me, otherwise I would have either starved to death or been beaten to death by the ship's boss. ”

"Once, the boat boss took on a special deal to salvage a sunken ship in Eagle's Beak Gorge. ”

When Mr. Zhao said this, he was interrupted by Wang Kui's mouth: "Isn't that more than two hundred miles upstream of Bashan City?"

Mr. Zhao nodded: "Yes, it is the Eagle's Beak Gorge, where the river is narrow and turbulent, it is an accident-prone area, it is said that the wreck was a long time ago, from Tibet, to the north to pay tribute, the things on the ship are worth a lot of money." ”

"The boat boss doesn't know where to get this news, so naturally he won't let go of this big business. We set off overnight to reach the Eagle's Beak Gorge, and the boat boss immediately sent people into the water to find the wreck, and at that time more than a dozen of us took turns to go into the water, little by little along the river to grope around, and it took a full month to finally find the wreck in a position where the river water was most urgent. ”

"The style of the wreck is ancient, the hull is very rotten, it is really the style of the previous dynasty, ten of us went into the water together, and accurately salvaged the goods in the ship......"

When Mr. Zhao said this, his voice suddenly became a little intermittent, his face turned pale, and his hands began to tremble a little, as if he remembered something terrifying.

The big beauty on the side hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat for him, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"I'm sorry, it's been so long that I've almost forgotten all the details at that time. Only fear is becoming more and more real, it is like a lingering nightmare......"

The old man suddenly stopped at the key point, reached out and groped for the knee of his left leg, and was silent.

This whetted the appetite of other people, and Master Mu exclaimed: "Lao Zhao, don't sell Guanzi, what's wrong?"

Mr. Zhao frowned: "Of the ten people who went down at that time, only three came back alive, and the others ...... They were all killed by the monsters in that sunken ship!"

As soon as the old man's words came out, even Lin Yu raised his eyebrows.

Wang Kui stretched his neck out, like a duck: "What kind of monster is it?"

Mr. Zhao glanced around and sighed: "The light at the bottom of the river is too dark, so I can't see what it is, I only know that the thing is huge, and my leg was swept by its tail at that time, and my knee was broken here." ”

Lin Yu nodded suddenly, it turned out that the old man's lameness was left by the disaster back then.

Mr. Zhao continued: "At that time, I sank to the bottom of the river and choked on a few mouthfuls of water, thinking that I was dead, but it was Brother Li who desperately pulled me upstream and pushed me back to the water. ”

Old Mr. Zhao stopped and took a breath, and calmed down again: "But Brother Li was dragged back to the bottom of the water by the monster that caught up, and I only had time to stuff a vajra in my hand......"

"Vajra?"

That Master Mu couldn't help but interject: "Is it the kind of magic weapon that Tantra uses to ward off evil spirits?"

Mr. Zhao nodded: "Seven people died, and in the end, they were replaced with this five-inch vajra, and the boat boss didn't dare to continue salvage, and took us to escape from the water, and this matter is over." I was left with a lame foot and could not continue working as a boatman. Later, he had to leave his hometown and smuggle himself into Nanyang and work hard overseas for decades, which can be regarded as a small success. ”

Lin Yu nodded: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, the old gentleman's life is much more exciting than ordinary people." ”

Mr. Zhao sighed: "It's been a long time, and I've forgotten about it. But last year, at an auction, I saw the vajra again. ”

"Sixty years have passed, but I still recognize it at a glance and can even smell the blood on it. ”

Mr. Zhao turned his head to look at the big beauty beside him: "Sisi, go and bring the box." ”

The beautiful woman named Sisi nodded, turned around and walked to the back to take out a black agarwood box, and walked back to put it on top of the table.

After opening the lid of the box, it was indeed a five-inch long vajra inside.

The color of this vajra is dark red and the style is simple, and the pestle is carved with dense runes, one end is blunt and round, and the other end is as sharp as new.

Master Mu frowned and looked at the vajra on the table: "Old Zhao, you have talked so much, what do you want me to help do?

Mr. Zhao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can't spend all the money I have earned in my life." The wish for today is to let the brothers who were buried at the bottom of the river see the light of day again, salvage their bones, and find a place to bury them in feng shui. ”

Lin Yu nodded slightly, it turned out that this old gentleman was such a loving person, no wonder that Brother Li would sacrifice his life to save him back then.

Lin Yu flicked his fingers: "There is no difference between digging up the shipwreck or looking for the remains, you can't avoid the monster at the bottom of the river." ”

"That's what Master Lin said. ”

Mr. Zhao nodded: "This time when I returned to China, I hired a professional salvage team, but I still need masters like Master Mu and Master Lin to be in charge, just in case!"

Master Mu snorted arrogantly: "It's not impossible to help you go on this trip, but I still have one condition, after I kill the monster at the bottom of the river, I will divide half of the things in the sunken ship." ”

Old Mr. Zhao didn't hesitate for a long time, and after a little hesitation, he nodded in agreement: "Okay, just do what you say, Master Mu." ”

After finishing Master Mu, Mr. Zhao turned his head to look at Lin Yu: "Master Lin, what do you say?"

Lin Yu sat in the distance and didn't speak, Wang Kui in the back was a little anxious, and leaned into his ear: "Master, as long as you follow along, you can take a million without even lifting your butt, what else is there to hesitate~"

Lin Yu stood up and walked to the front of the table, reaching out and picking up the vajra in the wooden box.

This vajra is dark red in color, five inches long, and it is held in the hand just above the ends.

Buzz –

As Lin Yu injected his own aura into it, the vajra began to tremble slightly and hum, extremely spiritual.

I don't know what material this vajra is made of, it has a strong adaptability to aura, and it is a very good magic artifact.

Lin Yu played with the vajra in his hand a few times, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's a little interesting, it seems that it is indeed worth a trip." ”

Mr. Zhao was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you Master Lin, then we ......"

Before Mr. Zhao could finish speaking, Master Mu on the side suddenly spoke: "Wait a minute, I have something to say!"
