The years of reselling the haunted house

I froze for a moment, I haven't mentioned this thing for a while.I don't know why Uncle San suddenly asked me to bring this.

The third uncle didn't say much, he only said that this time there was a lot of work on the water, and it might be useful.

I had no choice but to go to the safe to take out the lamp, wrapped it in a red cloth, and stuffed it into my backpack.

Everything was ready, we set off in that off-road vehicle, and before leaving, I told the fat man that if the sea wolf came again, we would tell him that we had already set off.

After explaining everything, I asked Uncle San after we were on the road, we must have a goal.Otherwise, the world is so big, I don't know which direction to go.

The third uncle said that since it is the Jingjiang area, it is natural to go to the Yangtze River basin.Let me go to the direction of the junction of Hubei and Hunan first, and I will talk about where I go.

I nodded and smiled wryly to myself, this was not the first time I walked aimlessly.

On the way, I chattered with my third uncle. There is no such place as Jingjiang Ancient Village on this map. Where are we going to find this Murong Sturgeon? Is it possible that we really have to go to the river to find him?

Going to the river to find Murong Sturgeon was of course a joke.

However, the third uncle really has no idea about this Jingjiang ancient village.And his understanding of the Three Fighters and One Sect, as well as this Murong Sturgeon, was mostly passed down from the Taoist sect, from the rivers and lakes.

And the mysterious Jingjiang Ancient Village is even more talked about.There are even rumors that in the late Qing Dynasty, a wandering Taoist once found this Jingjiang ancient village.

The Wandering Taoist walked along the ancient village and walked slowly to the world at the bottom of the river.Under the rushing and turbulent river, there is actually a place similar to the Dragon Palace.He saw three characters written on the plaque of the Dragon Palace: Jianglong Palace.

In the Dragon Palace of the River, there was a Dragon King of the River. The Dragon King of the River was very enthusiastic when he found that the wandering Taoist priest had arrived. He invited him to sit in the palace and serve wine and tea.After drinking together for several hours, the Taoist and Jiang Longwang chatted very well and drank to their heart's content. Finally, Jiang Longwang sent Jiang Yacha to send the wandering Taoist ashore.

The wandering Taoist later found out that he was drunk lying on the riverside with a jug in his hand. He thought he had a dream, but later found out that Yaksha's footprints had been left on the river bank.And the jug in his hand was not an ordinary thing, it was the one he used in Jianglong Palace.Later, after identification, it turned out that the flagon was something from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Therefore, Taoist priest Yunyou firmly believes that his experience is not just a dream.Under the turbulent river, there must be a Jianglong Palace, in which lives the Jianglong King.

So this legend spread, but after that, no one really saw the Jianglong Palace, let alone the Jianglong King.

The statement of the wandering Taoist priest was also interpreted in a more mysterious and magical way.At that time, many people said that there must be many cultural relics in the ancient village of Jingjiang, so they went to the ancient village of Jingjiang in groups, trying to walk from the ancient village of Jingjiang to the river, but they failed to do so.That ancient village is just an ordinary village, and there are no cultural relics in it, and there is no path leading to the river.

But later, the Jingjiang Ancient Village also suddenly disappeared.It is said that one night, the river flooded and suddenly photographed the river bank, swallowing the ancient village in the river.

When the river receded, people unexpectedly discovered that the entire village had disappeared.

Then there were rumors that Jiang Longwang was afraid that someone would discover the secret road leading to the bottom of the river again, so he cast a spell and sent water to transfer the entire ancient village. As for where it was transferred, some said it was moved along the river bank to In another place, some said it was moved to Jiangli, and became a neighbor with Jiang Longwang.

Chapter 1637

In short, at least a dozen different versions of this legend can be found among the people.The only fact that can be confirmed is that the ancient village has indeed disappeared.

As for that Murong Sturgeon, it is said that his life experience may be related to that wandering Taoist priest.And whether he really lived in Jingjiang Ancient Village is also a matter of uncertainty.So we also expressed doubts about the credibility of the note Seawolf gave me.

Jingjiang Ancient Village itself is very mysterious, coupled with the fact that the Murong Sturgeon can't see the end, the whole incident is even more bizarre.

For such a mysterious and mysterious destination, I was even more confused when driving.

However, seeing that the third uncle still looks confident, I can only follow what he said and drive towards the border between Hunan and Hubei.

After driving the car on the road, I asked my third uncle about the Murong sturgeon.When the third uncle introduced Murong Yu to me, he once said that he had done several great things, and because of these big things, he became famous, and the people on the road changed the word "Xun" in his name to "Xun" next to the word "fish". .

This is a kind of affirmation for him in the Taoist sect. You must know that there are many masters in the Taoist sect, and only those thirteen can enter the title of Thirteen Evils.I also want to know what he did.Listen to it on the road to relieve boredom.

The third uncle saw that I was interested, so he thought for a while and said: "About this water ghost, Murong Yu, he is definitely number one. As for his origin, it is said that he is one of Taohe and Ghost Dou. Is it from Taohe, or is he from Taohe? It comes from Ghost Dou, and there are different opinions."

I asked, "Is there a big difference between the two?"

The third uncle said: "Of course it's big. It's too big. Taohe is a river robber's tomb. The reason why it is called Taohe is an experienced expert. I wonder if there is a river tomb under this water area. Ghost Dou is mining river gold, and they all have a kind of vessel similar to Taodou, which is mainly used to extract the gold in the river water. Do you think there is a difference between the two? There is no difference. Of course, there are many things in common, such as the need to sail a boat out of the river, both require extremely rich experience, and both are ancient occupations, etc. According to my speculation, it is more likely that this Murong sturgeon came from Taohe."

I nodded: "Taohe is the tomb of the river robbers. Is there a tomb in this river? The two characters for grave are inseparable. The word for tomb itself is also at the bottom of the word soil. This means that only in the soil can there be tombs. How can it still be stolen into the river?"

Uncle San explained: "You don't understand that. The river tomb is just a general term, not to say that there are tombs in the river. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are some ancient tomb rituals that are more special, such as special water burials. But This happened more in ancient times. The ancients would put the dead in a coffin and float away along the river. Wherever the coffin sinks, that is the burial place of the deceased. The target of the river people."

I questioned: "Isn't this corpse afraid of being flooded? Why are there special water burials?"

"Of course, this water burial will not be as simple as I said. There will still be a lot of taboos and particularities in it. This is a kind of river tomb. There are also sunken ships, especially some ancient sunken ships. The ancient waterway transportation is also very important. Developed, many ships undertake large-scale transportation tasks, and there are many rare treasures. Sometimes they sink midway due to weather or floods. The ancient salvage technology is not as developed as it is now, so if the sunken ship has not been found And salvage, will also become one of the goals of river washing. Although this has nothing to do with graves, it can also be called a kind of river grave."

No matter how good the third uncle is, he still has a lot of goods in his stomach.

Listening to his introduction to the profession of Taohe gave me an eye-opening feeling.I never thought that there would be such an interpretation of He Tomb.

And that's not all, the third uncle told me mysteriously: "In addition to these two, there is another kind of good thing hidden under the water, which is coveted by people who wash the river."

"There are still good things? What are they?"

"The corpse." The third uncle said lightly.

I couldn't help being stunned: "What good is a corpse?"

The third uncle shook his head: "The corpses that have been buried in water, the ordinary corpses have been soaked in water for many years, and they have already rotted. But if there are corpses that can not rot, they can become water corpses. It is like a corpse buried in the soil that does not rot , will become like a zombie."

I questioned: "Isn't that a water zombie? We have encountered it before."

"Not the same. The two forms are not the same, and the nature is not the same."

I nodded. I heard from my third uncle last time that it seems that the formation of water zombies has something to do with pouring water on the corpses.And this kind of water corpse is completely submerged in water.It is estimated that the formation process will be more complicated, and there will be more taboos.

The third uncle didn't discuss with me in depth how the water zombie was formed, and I guess he didn't necessarily know all about it.He just told me that the formation of this kind of water corpse is not easy, and once formed, it will become a kind of target for river washing.After they bring this water corpse out of the water, they will sell it at a high price.

"Is there anyone buying this stuff?"

The third uncle smiled and said: "Of course. This kind of water corpse will become the best source of corpses in the hands of corpse breeders, or some sorcerers who practice strange and sorcery. In short, you just need to remember that this underwater thing, Absolutely no less than those on land. Even, because fewer people can enter the underwater world, and more secrets have not been revealed to the public, the underwater mystery is even more attractive. The water ghost Murong Sturgeon One of the few major events in the world is related to this water corpse."

The third uncle talked and talked, and finally got to the point.

This is also a topic I am more interested in, and I listened to him while driving.

That should have happened more than ten years ago. At that time, Murong Sturgeon was still in his youth, young and frivolous, and full of vigor.At that time, he was not low-key. Many people knew that he was very good at water and good at salvaging items sunken in the river.And the fees are very high, but there are still people who spare no expense to ask him to go out of the river to wash the river.After doing it successfully a few times, the fame has risen, and it has become a little famous.

Later, a wealthy businessman found him. The wealthy businessman was a well-known rich man with a lot of properties and a net worth of over [-] million.The wealthy businessman has always had a knot in his heart, that is, he wants to find his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

There is a set of genealogy in his family. It is written on the genealogy that his ancestor was once an official to the Tang Dynasty.Later, he died in office, and his body was buried in water.The wealthy businessman spared no expense, and began to search for the trail of his ancestor's water burial, and finally locked in the Jingjiang area.

Chapter 1638

The wealthy businessman famously found Murong Yu, and said that he wanted Murong Zui to go out of the river to find the burial coffin of his ancestors, it would be best to bring his ancestor's corpse out of the water, and he wanted to find a place with a treasured geomantic omen for re-burial.

But Murong Yu first heard that he wanted to find the corpse, so he rejected it.Because picking up corpses in the river is not his professional scope.According to the rules, the removal of corpses is the responsibility of Yan Wanggou, one of the three fights and one sect.

But the wealthy businessman promised a lot of money, and Murong Yu was moved.Because he heard that when the Minister of the Household Department was buried in water, many treasures might have been buried with the coffin.So he took the job under the name of Taohe, and received a deposit of 10 yuan from the wealthy businessman, and found a good day to go out of the river to find the coffin.The time limit he gave was three days, and the rich businessman was asked to wait for him at the place where he left the river after three days.

The rich businessman saw that Murong Sturgeon only drove a small boat out of the river, he couldn't believe his eyes.I am even more worried about whether the Murong sturgeon can complete the task.

Because the fishing boats usually go out to fish in the river are bigger than Murong Sturgeon's boat, watching Murong Sturgeon is like playing around.

The wealthy businessman was worried, so he simply set up a tent at the place where Murong Sturgeon came out of the river, and guarded here day and night.

As a result, there was no movement in the river for more than two days.His followers all advised him to go back first, but he refused.Finally, as the time drew closer, there was still no movement from the river.

And in those two days, the river suddenly churned violently, and the waves were several times larger than usual.On the third day, there was a severe storm.

Visibility on the river became even lower.The wealthy businessman and his party had no choice but to leave the river bank and move to a high place on the bank. A dozen people each held a telescope to watch the movement on the river.

At nightfall on the third day, the weather was even more gloomy and terribly gloomy.

Even the wealthy businessman who was very confident in the past thought that Murong Yu had been defeated this time.This kind of storm, let alone a small boat, even a large boat that can carry dozens of people dare not go out of the river.

If the Murong sturgeon was still in the river, nine out of ten it would have capsized.

The rich merchant's attendants all said that Murong Sturgeon must have run away with the deposit.After all, 10 yuan was not a small amount at that time, and Murong Yu didn't have any collateral, so even if he ran away, it would be difficult to catch him again.

In the end, even the rich businessman was a little bit uncertain.

But until the last moment, people will not disperse.Everyone still stared at the movement on the river with binoculars.

When Murong Sturgeon came out of the river, it was midnight three days ago.

So when midnight came on the third day, which was the agreed time, everyone was very nervous.

I believe that at that time no one would have believed that Murong Yu would come back on time, and no one could have calculated the time so accurately.It is said that it is three days, and even one hour is not bad.

In fact, at that time, even if Murong Yu could complete the task and come back in four or five days, or even longer, the wealthy businessman would be satisfied.

After midnight, it was only half an hour before the third day.

Just then, there was thunder and lightning, and the rain became heavier.

Suddenly, one of the rich merchant's subordinates shouted, "Look, there are lights in the river."

The wealthy businessman hastily adjusted his direction and looked towards the river.

Sure enough, in the night, a little light appeared on the gloomy river.Under the dark background, the light seemed a little prominent.Like a little starlight in the night.

But the light was ups and downs, flickering, as if floating in the air.

"It's him, he's back." The rich businessman looked very excited.

Soon, that point of light slowly approached the river bank.When the lightning appeared, they could all see Murong Sturgeon driving the small boat, wearing a coir raincoat, heading against the wind.

And he wasn't the only one who came back with Murong Sturgeon.

The lightning that appeared from time to time at that time could almost illuminate half of the starry sky.

So even though it was midnight and the visibility on the river was very low, with the help of the light from the lightning, it was still possible to clearly see that there was a person standing behind Murong Sturgeon on Murong Sturgeon's boat.

The figure almost overlapped with the Murong sturgeon.But the boat was pushed up and down by the river waves, and the two people on the boat also swayed up and down with the boat.

Only at this time, people will see the person who is just like a shadow, attached to Murong Yu's back.

Although they couldn't see that person's face clearly, everyone, including the rich businessman, felt a chill down their backs.

Having said that, the third uncle stopped.

I listened intently and asked, "What's next?"

The third uncle yawned and said, "It's not hard to guess what happened next. The person Murong Yu brought back was the ancestor of the rich businessman, the one who used to be the secretary of the household department. Murong Yu really brought him back Here we come, the same boat brought back half a boat full of sacrificial objects. Murong Yu is very disciplined. It is said that those sacrificial objects were given to the rich businessman intact. As for how the wealthy businessman will deal with it, we have no idea. Got it. In short, Murong Sturgeon has successfully completed this seemingly impossible task, and the time to finally reach the shore is only 10 minutes after three days."

After I listened, I shook my head and said, "Third Uncle, isn't this amazing? There is such a person in the world? And the body of the Hubu Shangshu, has it been confirmed? Has the DNA been tested? It's really that The ancestor of the wealthy businessman? Couldn’t it be a dead body that Murong Yu casually found from elsewhere to pretend to be?”

The third uncle said: "Others may do it, but Murong Yu doesn't. If he is really from Taohe's lineage, he should follow Taohe's rules. But your suspicion is not unreasonable. Of course, it is impossible to make DNA. It was already a corpse, so it was impossible to examine it. But the rich businessman had his own method. The genealogy handed down by his family recorded in detail the process of the water burial of Shangshu Hubu, including the examination of Shangshu Hubu. What are the characteristics of the body, and what are the burial objects? They are all listed. After verification, the rich businessman confirmed that the corpse is really his ancestor. And the burial objects brought back by Murong Yu are also not bad. His So I didn't show these at the beginning, just to verify Murong Yu's ability."

"So, this Murong Yu is really a character. Not only did he find the man accurately, but he is not greedy for money. With so many jewels, he has hidden a few of them casually. It is estimated that the rich businessman will not say anything."

"Each industry has its own rules. Some of the rules are beyond our comprehension. In short, since then, Murong Yu has become famous, and then he took on several difficult jobs in a row, and finally succeeded. People say he just It looks like a ghost in the river, so I gave him the title of water ghost. Of course, the meaning of this water ghost is more of a compliment and praise for his ability."

Chapter 1639

After listening to the third uncle's introduction, I sincerely praised: "It seems that the water ghost Murong Yu is still a legendary figure. Normally, such a character should not be difficult to find."

The third uncle shook his head: "But after doing those few things, Murong Yu disappeared. It is also said that Murong Yu can only do this kind of business a few times a year. It took a lot of vitality, and I was also damaged a lot. So after doing a few transactions, I have to rest for a while to recover."

I nodded and said: "This is also reasonable. He must have his own unique method to wash the river. Otherwise, after hundreds of thousands of years, such a huge river can be cleaned in three days. Find the precise location within, and it’s like the Arabian Nights when you say it.”

The third uncle continued: "Sure enough, after three years, Murong Yu reappeared in Xuanmen. It's just that he seldom does that kind of business again, and more people can't find him. Murong Yu is like this, every time When people are about to forget him, he can't tell where he will appear. When people ask for him and want to find him, he will suddenly disappear. So people guess that he lived in that place. In the mysterious Jingjiang ancient village, it will appear with the appearance of the ancient village, and disappear with the disappearance of the ancient village."

I asked: "Then this time he appeared on the note, and Liang Yue made a special trip to find him, does that mean he has come out of the rivers and lakes again?"

"You can put it this way." The third uncle nodded, yawned again, and said, "Before this, I hadn't heard from him for a long time. But it was also because I rarely paid attention to him. After all, he has nothing to do with our business. Okay, I've told you almost everything I know, drive hard, I have to sleep for a while..."

"Third uncle, let me ask you again, how sure are we of finding that Jingjiang ancient village? Thirty percent? Forty percent? Or..."

Before I finished speaking, I heard my third uncle snoring in the co-pilot.

Within ten seconds or so, he actually fell asleep.

I couldn't laugh or cry, shook my head, stopped disturbing him, and continued driving.

I don't have much idea about the Hunan-Hubei border between Hunan and Hubei designated by the third uncle, but I just drive in the general direction.As for where to drive and where to go next, I can only wait for third uncle to arrange.

I believe that although he didn't say it, he must know it in his heart.

Although the off-road vehicle I bought is second-hand, it has good performance. Not only can it go on bad roads, but it is also very good on paved roads.I was anxious, basically did not take much rest on the road, and arrived at the Hunan-Hubei border area at the fastest speed.I thought that since the Jingjiang Ancient Village is located in the Jingjiang area, it must be on the riverside, so I might as well drive towards a place close to the Jingjiang River.

In addition, since this Jingjiang ancient village is so mysterious, it must not be in a big city.I just walked on remote roads, which is completely equivalent to walking around with my eyes closed.

The third uncle was in a daze along the way, and whenever I reached a fork in the road, I would wake him up and ask him to point the way.

Every time the third uncle opened his eyes and looked ahead, pointing to one of the roads: "This way."

After speaking, he fell down again, and the snoring started again.

I also unswervingly followed the path he pointed out, anyway, I walked wherever I went.It's the first time I've been on my way in such a muddleheaded way, and the whole process is like a joke when I think about it.

The more I walked, the more uncertain I was. The car came to a place not far from the river bank, but this section was uninhabited, and there were few related buildings on the river bank.

Seeing that there was almost no way to go, I stretched out my hand to push Third Uncle awake, and he waved his hand in a daze: "Go forward..."

My nose was crooked with anger, and I said angrily: "Go ahead, if you go any further, you'll just go into the river."

"Ah? Jiangli?" The third uncle finally rubbed his eyes, stretched his neck to look out through the front windshield, then looked to the side a few times, and asked me with wide eyes, "Where did you drive the car?" ? What the hell kind of place is this?"
