Chapter 1033 The Empress of the River
"Water drifter?" The fair-haired man asked in a low voice, with a confused look on his face.
The old man looked at him differently, "Why, aren't you all called that, fellow masters? To those...those floating corpses on the water?"
After being severely beaten by his own people After glaring at him, the fair-skinned man did not dare to speak. Jiang Cheng guessed that this man was most likely a newcomer, and he had only participated in one mission at most, otherwise he would not have made such a low-level mistake.
Hearing this, the man who led the way also explained: "Masters, the river not far from our village is really... Oh, I really don't know how to tell you. A few days ago, several more bodies appeared. Shui Piaozi are all from our village.”
"Since you know about the evil sect, you should stay away from that river." A short, stocky middle-aged man replied thoughtfully.
"Oh, can we not know what you are saying, but...it's useless!" The man was anxious, and slapped his thigh hard, with a grim look on his face, "Those who drowned... I have never been to the river. People in our village are far away from there. There is a river far away, but it’s useless. You should die or die. Be alone. I’m still in bed before blowing out the candles at night. When I wake up... When I wake up, the person is gone. How can you prevent this? Then within a few days! , people can find it from the river, floating on the water!”
"Could it be that the person was killed first and then thrown into the river?"
"No! Absolutely not!" The man insisted, "Masters, we Someone in the village saw with their own eyes that the body came up from the bottom of the river. Yes, the body is still covered with sand!"
"Yes, we can all be sure that the body came up from the bottom of the river, there is no doubt about it!" The old man was a little emotional when he talked about this. Excited, he started coughing violently.
At this time, the sallow-faced woman hiding not far away said in a low voice: "These people were snatched away by the Queen of the River to get married, so they came up from the bottom of the river."
Hearing this, the old man and the man said His face changed, and the old man stared at the woman, trembling, pointing his cane at her, his whole body trembling and unable to speak a word.
It can be seen that he is very angry.
The man was even more direct. He rushed over in three steps and slapped him with his raised hand, "You talkative woman, what nonsense are you talking about! What do you dare to say about Dahe Empress getting married? If you dare to say anything nonsense again, I will Tear your mouth off!”
This slap made the woman’s cheek turn red, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, but the woman seemed to feel no pain, sneered, then lowered her head, and then said nothing. No more talking.
As if he felt humiliated in front of all the guests, the old man put away his fierce attitude and became more submissive to the people in Jiangcheng. The leading man also motioned to the others to take the woman away so that she would not be an eyesore.
"All the masters have real skills, and our village is entrusted to you." The old man lowered his voice and said in a very cooperative manner: "As long as the masters can help us solve this strange thing, The reward we agreed upon before will definitely be paid in full.”
“The reward is easy to say,” Jiang Cheng took the teacup handed over by the old man and took a sip. Fasten the lid of the cup, "But there is one thing we need to figure out first, what is going on in that river."
"We must go to that river to see for ourselves. Sitting here, we We can't see anything, and we can't be sure whether what you said is true or not." The old man with the goatee squinted his eyes and looked at the old man with interest. After a while, he looked away and looked at the leader. Man.
The two of them felt uncomfortable at the sight. The old man cleared his throat and couldn't help but sneered, "Master, what are you talking about? Things in our own village are still... It’s not possible to deceive you, besides...what’s the benefit to us if we deceive you?”
"Yes, yes, we have to rely on the masters to help solve the problems in our village." The old man pretended to offer tea again, but this time, he was blocked by the old man with the goatee.
Seeing this, the man changed the topic and directed the conversation to Jiang Cheng, who seemed to be more talkative. He complimented, "I've heard about this master. People like you all have supernatural powers. The horoscope is so strong that even the little ghosts walk around when they see it.”
Jiang Cheng was sitting on the lap of the ghost bride just now, and now the chill has not completely dissipated. When he said this, Jiang Cheng I felt even colder, and my lower body seemed to have lost consciousness.
“That’s all for the sake of face from outsiders.” After all, Jiang Cheng didn’t dare to climb up the pole because he didn’t know his current identity.
However, after talking for so long, Jiang Cheng was really curious about his current identity. It sounded a bit like a Taoist priest, but it didn't quite look like him.
After all, if we invite Taoist priests, we won't let the Taoist priests enter the village in the dark.
I also mentioned that their birthdays were very different, and the little guys would run around when they saw them.
That is the type of people who make money from dead people.
The most important thing now is to figure out their current identities. Jiang Cheng remained calm and continued to trick these two people. Fortunately, there are smart people among the other teammates. After going back and forth, their identities were finally figured out. .
The body of the fair and clean man was actually trembling just now. In fact, it was not entirely his fault. After all, even the fat man couldn't help but frown after hearing this identity this time.
They are corpse hunters.
Yes, it is one of the side sects since ancient times. Corpse fishermen from the river are responsible for salvaging corpses from various rivers and lakes, and those corpses are even more miserable than those on land.
Jiang Cheng didn't know whether it was hard to do this job, but he had to be brave. It was common for a corpse to suddenly float into the turbid water and hit someone.
Jiang Cheng saw a piece of news a long time ago about the person who fished out the corpse. After a female corpse was fished out, the person who fished it out went crazy within a few days. The reason was that he saw the pillow. A long hair on.
And he has no girlfriend and lives alone.
I was scared out of my mind.
"It's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow." The old man with the goatee smiled at the old man and the man. He felt very uncomfortable staying with these people late at night, and at night Talking about these things could lead to trouble.
On this point, Jiang Cheng and the old man with the goatee agree.
Unexpectedly, this simple request was actually rejected. The old man rubbed his hands in embarrassment and whispered: "This is really not possible. Masters, tonight...tonight we will treat you all There is an arrangement."
"What arrangement?" Fatty asked, he had an ominous premonition.
"Well..." The man hesitated with a smile on his face: "Isn't this what those water drifters dragged back? We want all the masters to go to the temple and help them keep vigil."
