"There is another person named Yang Hua. The situation is exactly the same as Chen San. After getting the thing, he disappears! The phone is turned off and there is no news!"
"That village chief, when we visited him before, he even refused to open the door!" Dapeng shook his head and sighed.
After hearing this, Chen Wenjin nodded thoughtfully, "Let's talk to him later. After all, he is the only one who may have some clues now."
Dapeng is not optimistic about this, "I think there is little hope."
"Although the residents of Sanjiashan are very tight-lipped, I still heard some rumors. It is said that the village chief behaved abnormally in the past two days. He seemed to be possessed. He even held a live catfish and ate it raw, acting as if he was mentally disturbed. .”
"This is probably why he has closed his doors these days to thank guests." Dapeng continued, "Moreover, I also heard that he is waiting for a Mr. Yin and Yang to come and treat his illness. Why do you think people are so superstitious nowadays? If you don’t go to the hospital, you have to find Mr. Yin and Yang.”
Chen Wenjin frowned after hearing this, feeling that there seemed to be some connection between these things. "The village chief is possessed?" she said to herself, "Don't you find it strange? After three people hunted for treasure, two disappeared and one was possessed."
Dapeng was stunned after hearing this, and then said in surprise: "What you said is indeed a bit strange. Is there really a big tomb in this place? Those who have been to the tomb have been cursed, so they disappeared or were possessed by evil spirits?"< br>
Chen Wenjin shook his head and said that they currently know too little about the Sanjiashan Basin to conduct an investigation. "Forget it, let's go talk to the village chief first. He can't keep hiding from us."
"We can tell him that we have a doctor in our team who can help him see a doctor. There is no need to wait for Mr. Yin and Yang." Chen Wenjin suggested, "Let's set off now and go to Sanjia Mountain Village!"
Dapeng nodded in agreement, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly pointed at a fishing boat opposite and shouted: "Wenjin, look at that boat! Isn't the one driving the boat the village chief?"
Chen Wenjin immediately picked up the telescope on her chest and looked carefully, and then confirmed: "Yes, it's him! And, isn't the person standing next to him the same Mr. Yin Yang we met when we entered the village before?"
< br>
Dapeng couldn't help laughing, "This village chief is really interesting. When we went to find him, he wouldn't even open the door. Now he personally drove the boat to bring Mr. Yin and Yang to the river. It seems that this Yin and Yang Mr. is more proud than our archaeological team!”
Chen Wenjin thought to herself that she had never really seen the village chief before, but now it seemed that he had no signs of being possessed by evil spirits. Could it be that he was really cured by this Mr. Yin Yang?
"Dapeng, tell the master quickly and get close to the awning boat. We want to meet Mr. Yin and Yang and ask the village chief about some information." Chen Wenjin ordered.
Although two ships cannot get too close to each other on the water, they can still communicate after maintaining a certain distance. They came here to look for the ancient coffin, and according to the news, the village chief also recently found the treasure on the river. Now that I finally met him, I naturally couldn't miss this opportunity.
At the same time, Zhang Hao and Fatty Wang on the awning boat were observing the river. The village chief suddenly came over and said to them: "Mr. Yin Yang, this is where I found the pair of bracelets last time. Although the specific location is not sure, it is roughly in this watershed."
Zhang Hao nodded slightly to express his understanding. They felt the strong evil spirit before coming here, so it makes sense for the village chief to be possessed by evil spirits here. However, what puzzled Zhang Hao was that the evil spirit here was too strong and seemed unusual.
Then the village chief continued: "It just so happens that this river basin is also where the big coffin was found. When I came here that day, I felt a little strange, because we often come to this river basin, and the river had stopped flowing before. At that time, there was no water here. Many people from our village also came to check.”
"The situation at that time was that there was only a very old coffin here, but no relics such as a tomb were found." The village chief added, "And the coffin was one piece, and there was no gold, silver or jewelry in it."
Having said this, the village chief suddenly took out the bracelet wrapped in cloth from his arms and asked, "Mr. Yin Yang, can I just throw it back?" Zhang Hao nodded slightly in agreement. So the village chief threw the bracelet back into the river. This time the bracelet did not float to the surface again but sank directly to the bottom.
Then Zhang Hao explained: "The jewelry you have seen probably comes from the corpse. If those who drown here are not discovered and dealt with in time, they will either be eaten clean by fish and shrimp or become the corpse." " He further explained, "There is a difference between Sha and Zhi Sha. Sha is derived from Zhi Sha. You have seen that incorporeal things will attach to people; while the combination of corpse and Sha forms an entity. Corpses with resentment, hatred, and unwillingness will not rot in water.”
Zhang Hao not only guessed that there were zombies below, but he even believed that there were a lot of them. This also explained why the evil spirit here was so strong. After all, the Yangtze River had witnessed thousands of years of history, and countless people had drowned passing by here.
"Mr. Yin Yang, is there something wrong with that coffin?" the village chief asked with worry on his face.
"I remember when the Yangtze River cut off, we saw ten corpses in the coffin. The scene was quite horrifying." The village chief tried to recall the scene at that time.
Zhang Hao turned to look at the village chief, then turned his gaze to the river, lost in thought.
Ten people, is this a coincidence or an arrangement of fate?
Could it be that the "recovering ten corpses" mentioned in the mission refers to the ten corpses in the coffin?
If that's the case, then we're making pretty good progress.
However, even though Wang Pang had described the coffin in detail, Zhang Hao still found it a bit incredible.
"Village Chief, is that coffin really cast in one piece?" Zhang Hao asked curiously.
The village chief nodded affirmatively and continued to describe: "The coffin is extremely gorgeous and made of golden nanmu, but the strange thing is that it is like a solid boulder with a transparent top, allowing us to clearly see the remains inside."< br>
"We tried to take out the body in the coffin, but the material was so hard that it wouldn't budge even if we hit it hard with a hammer."
"Did you give up later?" Zhang Hao asked.
The village chief shook his head, "The situation was quite strange at that time. The Yangtze River was cut off for only two hours."
"Before we could find a solution, the Yangtze River bed began to surge rapidly."
"In desperation, we have no choice but to evacuate, otherwise we may drown there."
"Afterwards, some people relied on their superior water skills and tried to find out, but they drowned without exception."
Zhang Hao nodded slightly after hearing this. He squatted on the bow of the boat, frowning and staring at the water. Suddenly, he noticed something moving in the water. It was a transparent creature that looked like a jellyfish.
If it hadn't just moved, Zhang Hao might not even be aware of its existence.
Fatty Wang also squatted down and asked curiously: "Brother Zhang Hao, did you find anything?"
Zhang Hao nodded and pointed to a hard-to-detect place in the water, "This is a corpse sting. It is recorded in "Stories of Strange Beasts" that it specializes in eating corpses in the water."
"This creature lurks under the water all year round and only eats the corpses of drowned creatures."
"It will wander in the rivers following the smell of corpses."
"Because its body is almost transparent, it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it. But when it is hungry, it will lure small animals or lone pedestrians into the water." "More importantly, this creature can release neurotoxins in the water. Once the toxin penetrates the skin or Drinking water containing toxins will paralyze the nerves and cause difficulty in movement. ”
"Without professional protection, those who enter the water will inevitably drown."
The village chief was shocked after hearing this. He stared at the water and seemed to really see those transparent creatures swimming, "It turned out to be these things that were causing trouble!"
"No wonder so many people drowned inexplicably after going into the water!"
"It turns out that this kind of creature is hiding in this watershed!"
"But why have we never caught this kind of corpse sting before?" the village chief asked doubtfully.
Zhang Hao casually picked up a shell on the boat and gently threw it into the water.
After the water surface rippled, the corpse stings quickly disappeared into the deep water.
"They are very timid. Our ship docked here and has not attracted their attention yet."
"At the slightest sign of disturbance, they will quickly escape back to deep water, making it difficult for you to catch them."
"But the frequent drownings here are not just due to corpse stings."
"The appearance of corpse stings is due to the presence of corpses, and the appearance of corpses is probably closely related to that coffin."
After saying this, Zhang Hao's pupils suddenly changed, from black to gray, and his eyes became deep and cold, as if he could see everything.
"Oh my God!" Fatty Wang exclaimed, mistakenly thinking that Zhang Hao was blind.
"Shopkeeper, are you from the island country and can open the Sharingan?" He said half-jokingly.
Then he seemed to have some realization, "Could this be the yin and yang eyes you mentioned before?"
"Mr. Yin Yang, you are so amazing..." The village chief was also amazed. Although he didn't know why, he was even more in awe of Zhang Hao.
At this time, Zhang Hao's sight had penetrated the turbid water and reached the coffin at the bottom of the river. As the village chief said, it was a golden nanmu coffin, with the remains inside clearly visible through the transparent part.
The coffin was huge, even bigger than the awning boat they were traveling on. The body was in an extremely twisted posture, as if it had been forced into the coffin.
As for the transparent and hard substance in the coffin, Zhang Hao speculated that it was not an ordinary mineral, but condensed from corpse wax.
These corpse waxes are extraordinary, they come from the Ten Corpse Evils.
Inside the coffin was the Ten Corpses that Zhang Hao was looking for so hard!
After a while, Zhang Hao felt his eyes sting, so he closed his eyes tightly, sighing in his heart that the Yin and Yang Eyes should not be used for a long time, otherwise the body would not be able to bear it.
He shook his head and stood up. The village chief couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Yin Yang, do you think this coffin can be picked up?" "The village chief asked Zhang Hao with some curiosity.
Zhang Hao glanced at the village chief and chuckled, "Are you kidding me? This coffin is bigger than your awning boat. How can I pick it up by myself? Even if I know how to pick up the corpse, it's not enough. Such strength. This is not a scene from a fairy tale.”
"What's more, this coffin cannot be moved." Zhang Hao added seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear female voice came from the distance, "Hi, village chief!" It turned out to be Chen Wenjin calling.
Zhang Hao, Fatty Wang and the village chief looked at it at the same time and saw Chen Wenjin, Dapeng and other archaeological team members standing on the big boat.
The village chief looked at them with a confused expression on his face, because he had never seen these people before, "Who are you?"
Dapeng hurriedly replied, "Village chief, we are from the Kyoto archaeological team. We visited you before. Do you remember?"
The village chief was stunned for a moment, then recalled that a group of people claiming to be an archaeological team had indeed come to see him, but because of Aunt Liu's concerns, they did not meet at that time.
The village chief nodded and turned to Zhang Hao, "Mr. Yin Yang, we have visited the general area. Do you think we need to visit other river basins?"
Zhang Hao shook his head, "No need, I've seen everything I need to see, go back."
The village chief responded, and then shouted to Chen Wenjin and others on the big boat: "Let's go ashore first!"
Soon after, the archaeological team's large ship and Zhang Hao's awning boat both docked. Chen Wenjin and others walked towards Zhang Hao and others as soon as they got off the boat.
"Hello, village chief, I am Chen Wenjin from the Kyoto Archaeological Team. I asked you about the situation in the river before." After saying that, she looked at Zhang Hao and said with a smile: "Is this Mr. Yin Yang? We are coming out of the village chief's house. When I arrived, I happened to see you coming, heard someone introducing you, and heard that the village chief was waiting for you, so I took a few more glances, I hope you don’t mind.”
Zhang Hao smiled back, "Next time you watch it, remember to let me know so I can collect a fee."
The village chief looked at the archaeological team. Although he had never seen them before, he had heard the villagers talking about them in the past few days. When he saw the two of them greeting each other, he asked, "You can ask whatever you want. I don't necessarily know more than you do. After all, you have inquired a lot in the village in the past two days."
Chen Wenjin and Dapeng looked at each other and heard the complaint in the village chief's words.
Chen Wenjin smiled and said: "Village chief, don't mind. We are from the national archaeological team. I heard that cultural relics were unearthed here, and there was an ancient coffin at the bottom of the river. I want to see if there is an ancient tomb from the Dragon Kingdom here. If so. , we need to protect it as soon as possible to prevent tomb robbers from stealing national wealth, but we don’t know much about this place, so we can only ask you for help if there is any offense.”
The village chief waved his hand and said: "We live here, but we don't know when there are ancient tombs. The ancient coffin you mentioned should be the one at the eye of the river, right? The Yangtze River cut off four years ago We only discovered it when we were there. A Feng Shui master said that the coffin was used to suppress the river's eye, and if it was moved, it would affect the Feng Shui of the village, so no one has ever thought about it. As for the gold and silver jewelry you mentioned... "(End of Chapter)
