I saw them talking about each other in full swing, so I interrupted them and asked, "From your point of view, it's easy to find this Murong Sturgeon? Ninth Master, do you know where the Jingjiang Ancient Village is?"

Master Jiu shook his head: "I don't know. But I have my own method, and I should be able to find relevant clues if I try. In short, this matter is on me."

"Master Jiu, Sheng Yuke only gave me four days. We don't have enough time."

Master Jiu nodded: "I know, let's go back to my home now. We will start looking for Jingjiang Ancient Village. I have been silent for more than ten years, and this time I will also move around to try my muscles."

I looked at the corpse lying on the confession case and knew it was Tang Ji.

It's hard to imagine that her soul communicated with me just now.It's hard to imagine that she was dead, but she could imprint three bloody moles on my chest, pulling me together with her.

Although she was hurting me by stamping a blood mole on me, after coming out of the water market, I don't really hate her much in my heart now.Everyone has the desire to survive, and I think the soul also has it.

Reincarnation is the rebirth of the soul.As for Tang Ji, when she saw my life-saving straw, it was impossible for her not to hold on tightly.

Perhaps the fact that we came to find Murong Yu was the opportunity for her new life.Who made the connection between these two things?

I looked up again at the statue of the Dragon King.He still looks like a villain.

I asked Master Jiu: "The Dragon King here, why does he have this image?"

Master Jiu explained: "No one has ever seen the image of the Jianglong King here. Some people said that they met the Jianglong King on the river before, but no one who saw it survived. So it is spread rumors that Jiang The Dragon King harmed people because people didn’t enshrine him. So people combined it and made Jiang Dragon King into this image. Anyway, as long as there is a Dragon King Temple, it doesn’t matter what the Dragon King looks like.”

"Does anyone offer incense here?"

Lord Jiu shook his head: "In the village, only Grandpa Wan and I can enter here. We usually offer incense to the Dragon King on some important days. Actually, I also know that these incenses are all given to Sheng Yu. Sheng Yu is indeed He has done a lot for us, and he deserves the incense."

I asked again: "Then let's go, what about Tang Ji's body?"

"Let's store it here temporarily. No one else dares to come in here. When we came back, we were attacked by Jiang Pizi. It can be seen that there is also a deep grudge between Tang Ji and Jiang Pizi, so we have to let it go." With the protection of Sheng Yu here, her body can be preserved."

I nodded, and got out of the small temple with Jiu Ye and Third Uncle.

It was finally daylight when we came out.

As soon as we showed our heads, Eighth Master flew over and landed directly on Jiuye's shoulder, yelling incessantly: "Roast bird, roast bird... pluck, pluck..."

Jiuye saw that the hair on Baye's butt was bald, not to mention how ugly it was.

"Who did this?" Master Jiu asked with his beard pouted and his eyes widening.

"Li Yang, Li Yang." The hair on Ba Ye's neck also exploded, and he continued to sue Jiu Ye.

Chapter 1707 Target Jingjiang Ancient Village

I was sued by a bird, Jiuye and Third Uncle both looked at me, I said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Jiuye, I'm also in a hurry, I can't find you, and Baye refused to give I'm leading the way, I can only do this, and I didn't burn its butt on purpose, but I don't think burning its butt will affect its flight."

Master Jiu pointed at me and scolded: "You little bastard, it's too bad. I don't even want to tame this bird. I don't even scold it at ordinary times. How dare you burn it."

Saying that, Jiu Ye held that Ba Ye in his palm and comforted him non-stop.

The third uncle also couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "We don't let you come, and we don't want you to participate in this matter. If the body is burned, it will be burned, and we will finish it. Who knows that Tang Ji used the power of Sheng Yu to find you again There are so many origins in it. But you are really ruthless in your actions. Master Ba is the golden lump in Master Jiu's heart. You almost burned him without a fire. You really belong to him."

After the third uncle finished speaking, Master Jiu continued to scold me, and the two of them scolded me to death.

I didn't dare to say anything, after all, it was my fault first.

But in this way, Eighth Master's anger also eased.It is estimated that Jiu Ye scolded me also to vent his anger on Ba Ye.

Looking at Ba Ye's gloating expression, it's really hard to imagine that it's just a bird.

Master Jiu led us back and said as he walked, "This time we need to rely on Master Ba to find Jingjiang Ancient Village. If we offend him, it will be really difficult."

I didn't expect Ba Ye to have this ability.That being said, I was indeed a bit heavy-handed.

When we returned to the village from the Dragon King Temple, we found that Grandpa Wan was waiting in that square with Wan Sheng.That's where we must go.

"Old Jiu, what's the matter?" Grandpa Wan asked with concern.

Master Jiu nodded and said, "It's done. Jiang Pizi won't bother us anymore, let the villagers do whatever they need to do. But recently, don't let anyone get close to the Dragon King Temple. Especially those young people in the village, Avoid those waters when you go out of the boat."

"Okay, just settle it. I'll let them all pay attention."

"There is one more thing, Lord Wan, please help me."

With that said, Master Jiu approached Grandpa Wan and whispered to him in a low voice.I didn't hear what he said clearly, but I saw Grandpa Wan nodded: "Don't worry, old nine, I'll take care of this for you."

The two of them separated from each other after touching their heads.

Regardless of whether the matter between us and Tang Ji was resolved or not, the dispute between the villagers and Jiang Pizi was resolved under the mediation of Sheng Yu.

Sheng Yu was originally an old Jiang weasel, although his status had already broken away from Jiang Pizi's level.It's as if a mortal has become a fairy, and his status is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people.

But Sheng Yu's status with Jiang Pizi is naturally extremely high.The matter he came to mediate will surely succeed.

We returned to Jiuye's home, and since the four-day period was very short, we had little time to adjust, and we had to arrange a trip immediately.

So our actions are also in full swing.

Of course, at this time, we still don't know anything about Jingjiang Ancient Village, so we can only follow Master Jiu's orders.

I asked Master Jiu, how far is Jingjiang Ancient Village from our place, whether to go by land or by water, what we need to prepare and so on.

Master Jiu answered me like this, he doesn't know how far it is, he has to go by land first and then by water, maybe he will have to go back by land in the end, he has prepared things himself, we just bring what we usually bring.

Judging from Jiuye's answer, he was not sure about finding this Jingjiang ancient village.

It was third uncle who told me privately that if Master Jiu couldn't find Jingjiang Ancient Village here, then no one would be able to find it.

I shook my head and said, "That's not right. Liang Yue came here alone, and she should be in Jingjiang Ancient Village by now. How did she find it?"

The third uncle said: "Didn't the sea wolf say that? There is someone here to pick her up, and she is here to trade with Murong Yu. If you can't meet, how to trade? It is estimated that Murong Yu himself brought Liang Yue to the ancient village." maybe."

I nodded: "Sheng Yu's place, I saw a picture of Liang Yue, she seems to be in some pain. Could it be something happened at Murong Yu's place?"

The third uncle shook his head: "Murong Yu is both good and evil, no one can fathom his thoughts. Auspicious people have their own nature, I hope Liang Yue can get through this."

I sighed: "I don't know what she thinks, relying on a rich man as an uncle, she can obviously be a rich second generation with no worries about food and clothing. At worst, she can be an elite white-collar worker in the upper class. In the end, she If you want to live this kind of life of sleeping on the edge of a knife, you really don't know how to be blessed. If I have her capital, I will definitely not do this."

The third uncle snorted coldly, and said bitterly: "You know what, Liang Yue is the girl who pursues. She is not at ease and pursues the life she wants. Whoever is like you, Mao pursues No, do you really want to have an uncle like Wu Tianyou?"

I said with a playful smile: "Hey, third uncle, I don't want Wu Tianyou, I just have you, Li Dagang. You are much better than Wu Tianyou."

The third uncle is complacent: "That is, where can I find a third uncle like me? Follow me to eat hot food and drink spicy food, how comfortable will our life be?"

I smiled wryly and shook my head. At this time, I only picked up the popular ones and said hot words, and I forgot how embarrassed we were when we were in danger countless times.

Master Jiu also prepared a big bag of the things he wanted to bring, and threw it on our car.

We drove the off-road vehicle, first left Jiuye's village, and drove on the road to find the target Jingjiang ancient village.

The ancient village of Jingjiang is mysterious and unknown.Even Master Jiu is not sure, and we don't know anything about it.

After leaving the village, Master Jiu took out a yellowed map from his bag and directed me to drive forward according to the map.

When I saw the map, I hurriedly asked, "Jiuye, as long as you follow the map, you can find Jingjiang Ancient Village? So, this village is not that difficult to find."

"How easy is it? The place on the map we are looking for is not Jingjiang Ancient Village." Master Jiu shook his head and said.

I was taken aback: "It's not Jingjiang Ancient Village, what kind of place is that?"

"It's the place where I saw Murong Sturgeon for the last time. I believe it should be very close to Jingjiang Ancient Village, and I guess there should be clues to Jingjiang Ancient Village there."

After finishing speaking, Master Jiu stopped talking, with a serious expression on his face, as if he was recalling the past.

From this, it can be seen that Master Jiu and Murong Yu have really dealt with each other before.

I remembered the words that my third uncle had said to Jiu Ye when my third uncle and I first met him.

At that time, Uncle San told Master Jiu that the water ghost seemed to have appeared.

Master Jiu said, what should come will always come.

Chapter 1708

The third uncle also said that the water ghost might have come for that matter.

From their conversation, I could hear at that time that there must have been a relationship between them and the water ghost.Especially Master Jiu, he and Shui Gui would definitely not be strangers to each other.

Sure enough, Master Jiu also mentioned just now that he met the water ghost Murong Yu in that place.

Master Jiu was sitting in the back row. I saw Master Jiu thinking through the mirror, and I couldn't help but ask, "Master Jiu, do you know water ghosts?"

The third uncle smiled in the co-pilot and said, "It's not just acquaintances, Master Jiu and Murong Yu used to be best brothers."

"Best brother? Once? Could it be that they have turned against each other now?" I was very surprised when I heard that.

"It's impossible to talk about turning against each other, but if this incident didn't happen, maybe it would be possible for us to never see each other." Jiu Ye said with a sigh.

"Then what happened?" The water ghost Murong Yu is already mysterious, and the relationship between Master Jiu and him is even more mysterious, so I am even more curious.

Because what happened between people in Taoism like this is just like the rivers and lakes in the book, every bit of them is a wonderful story.

Master Jiu said indifferently: "Actually, it's nothing. It's okay to say it. In fact, these veteran craftsmen on the Yangtze River, three fights and one dragon raised their heads, used to be a sect in history, and later they were divided into these kinds. .In history, there have been several times when high-ranking people merged two or more factions. Therefore, the Three Fighters and One School have been separated and combined for hundreds of thousands of years. But in modern times, it is basically The situation of three fights and one school is maintained. The heads of several schools are also famous for each other, and there is no closer contact. About 20 years ago, a person came to me suddenly, that is the water ghost Murong Yu .”

Uncle San also told me about the three fights and one sect that Master Jiu said.So it doesn't sound strange to me, but when the water ghost Murong Sturgeon came to the door, I became energetic when I heard it.Because the water ghost Murong Yu is said to have a eccentric personality and has always been a loner, it is not normal for him to come to his door.

"After Murong Yu came, he declared his family name. I don't understand why he came. After all, the Three Dou family has never been in contact with me in my generation. As a result, Murong Yu was very polite to me because I was ten years older than him. So he honored me as Brother Nine. He respected me very much, and told me that the three fights belonged to the same sect. When he was working on the river, he often used the technique of picking up corpses. When picking up corpses, it must also involve the ability to wash rivers. So he is willing to pass skills to me, and he must have no reservations."

"Teaching skills to each other? He taught you to wash the river, and you taught him to fish for corpses?"

"That's right. I didn't have any mental preparations for this at the time, but Murong Yu was full of sincerity and respect to me, so I left him at home and treated him with courtesy. But after keeping him, I never mentioned the matter of passing skills that he said, and he didn’t mention it again after he stayed. We lived in my house for more than a month. During the time we spent with him, we found that we really hit it off with each other .We often talk by candlelight till dawn."

The third uncle interrupted and said, "Master Jiu is a real person, and he is not defensive. Murong Yu should have done his homework a long time ago and learned about Master Jiu's personality and preferences."

Master Jiu continued: "You can't say that. I still think that although Murong Yu came to me for a purpose, he is not a person with a dark heart. We talked very happily and got along like brothers. Later we They invariably passed on their own skills to each other. He taught me to wash rivers, and I taught him to fish for corpses. Of course, they are all theoretical things. We all live on the water, and our skills are similar. , as for the other craft, I also learned a little bit and understood it quickly. We lived together for three months, and we also taught our craft. After three months, Murong Yu said that he would leave for a while , and left my house.”

Hearing Master Jiu say this, I couldn't help asking: "Master Jiu, isn't your craft not allowed to be passed on to outsiders? Did you really teach him all your skills?"

Master Jiu nodded: "Yan Wang Hook is an ancestral technique, and indeed it is not allowed to be passed on to outsiders. But I think we pass it on to each other, so it shouldn't be included in this list."

I smiled: "Jiu Ye, you are playing word games, taking advantage of the wording."

The third uncle also smiled and said: "Nephew, you don't understand such a master as Master Jiu. The three fights and one school's respective skills are passed on from inside to outside, so each one is very yearning for the other skills. Jiu Lord also took this opportunity to learn how to wash the river. The two of them hit it off, and it's just a tacit understanding."

Master Jiu was hit by the third uncle, so he smiled calmly and said, "You're right. At that time, I really wanted to see Taohe's skills."

The third uncle went on to say: "I know that you two broke up later, and you never said the reason. But I can probably guess that the reason for your cooperation is because of Chuanyi, and the reason for your separation should also be because of Chuanyi. You should have mutual respect. Keep it?"

Lord Jiu nodded: "You guessed right. We have a family of 36 hooks for the king of hell. Among them, the most powerful method of hooking corpses is called "returning light and returning to light", which belongs to housekeeping skills. I will use this trick I have some reservations. In my opinion, 36 hooks, I taught him 35 hooks, I keep this kind of hook method, it is not too much."

I thought to myself, what Master Jiu did was really generous.In this case, I guess no one will give all their skills.

Master Jiu continued: "Because I did this, I guess Murong Yu will definitely keep his ability to me. In this way, we are equally equal, and neither will suffer. I know that Taohe's school uses the most The tool is a kind of net, similar to fishing nets, but quite different from fishing nets. It is called Sangmen net. This kind of net can sink rivers, and the nets are not fish, but good things in river tombs. Nets are used for Taohe. There are eighteen nets of mourning. That is to say, there are eighteen kinds of methods for panning the river. Although there are only eighteen kinds, the changes are unpredictable, and they are not as simple as my 36 hooks."

"Then Murong Yu really taught you all the Eighteen Nets of Sangmen?"

Master Jiu nodded: "I'm ashamed to say that I treat a gentleman's heart with the heart of a villain. I kept it, but Murong Yu really taught me [-] kinds of netting techniques. Later, I thought I felt sorry for myself, and was thinking of teaching him the last crochet method. But he left without saying goodbye, and left me a piece of paper before leaving."

Chapter 1709 Anqi Town

As he said that, Master Jiu took out a piece of yellowed paper from his body and handed it to Uncle Third, who took it. Since I was driving, he read directly from the paper: "Fill the corpse He Jiu, hang down!" Being old, treating each other hypocritically, keeping second hands privately. In vain, I exchanged my sincerity for a dog, and there will be a period later when I will cut off my robes and cut off my friends."

This is obviously because Murong Zui blamed Jiuye for keeping behind him. Although Murong Zui's education level is not very high, the words he said are somewhat incoherent, but he described Jiuye as an old man, and said that Jiuye Treating himself like a dog, these remarks are a bit excessive, but it is enough to prove that Murong Sturgeon should be very angry at that time.

Master Jiu said indifferently: "Murong Yu left without saying goodbye, I feel guilty. In addition, many people came to me to retrieve the corpse at that time, and I had to abide by the three-do-no-restriction prohibition of my family. Later, I simply blocked the boat. Go out of the river again. In addition, I also swear that I will never use Taohe's mourning gate eighteen nets in this life. I also secretly inquired about Murong Yu's whereabouts. Later, after learning that he had done a few jobs on the river, he also disappeared. gone."

The third uncle went on to say: "Three fights and one school have been divided and reunited many times over the years. When they are combined, they will elect a chief master. When Jiuye was young, he was considered the chief master. The No.1 choice. It’s just that after Master Jiu sealed the ship, this matter was no longer mentioned. I’m thinking now that Murong Yu must have coveted the position of the chief master for a long time. He came to find Jiu That's probably the purpose of master's skill competition. No matter whether he has learned all about Yan Wanggou or not, the final result is that Master Jiu sealed the ship, and Murong Yu has achieved his goal."

Master Jiu shook his head: "I don't value the position of the head of the sect so much. If Murong Yu really came here for this, you can tell me clearly that there is no need to use these means."

The third uncle smiled: "Ninth Master, you treat him with sincerity. Others don't think so. How did you and Murong Yu meet later?"

Master Jiu recalled it for a while, and said: "It wasn't until more than ten years ago that I suddenly received an invitation from Murong Yu again, asking me to meet in Anqi Town."

"Anqi Town? Is it where we are going now?"

Lord Jiu nodded: "Yes. That's where Murong Yu and I met for the last time. I went there as promised. First, I wanted to apologize to him in person, and second, I wanted to tell him that I haven't used it once in these years to wash the river. So I’m not sorry for him. But after we met, I realized that he wanted to cooperate with me to find a Tang boat.”

"Tang boat?"

"It's the shipwreck of the Tang Dynasty. The ancient tombs are divided into dynasties. The tombs of the Tang Dynasty are called Tang Tombs, and the sunken ships of the Tang Dynasty are called Tang Ships. I asked him why he called me. He said that the situation of the Tang Ship was complicated. Power can’t do it, it must be done with my cooperation. Especially the Hades Hook that may be used to return to the light. I had already made up my mind at that time, and I swore to seal the ship for 15 years, but I didn’t promise him. I promised to wait for my 15 years Once the deadline is over, I will cooperate with him again. Of course he is unwilling to wait that long, and we broke up at that time. The relationship, which was already a little strange, became even more tense. When we parted that day, more than ten years had passed .”

I questioned: "Jiu Ye, the Tang boat you mentioned doesn't mean Tang Ji's boat, right? Are there many Tang boats at the bottom of the river?"

Master Jiu nodded: "I've thought about it too. There are a lot of shipwrecks in the Jingjiang water section, and some of them have been picked up in recent years. There must not be many Tang boats left. The Tang boat Murong Yu mentioned is most likely Tang Ji. This giant swan. It’s just that I didn’t know there was such a ship at the time.”

The third uncle also said: "If you put it this way, I feel that the reason why Murong Sturgeon is going to search for the river tomb of the Tang boat is probably because of the bead in Li Yang's hand."

"Shaoxiang beads? By the way, there are two male and female Maoxiang beads. The one in my hand is on Tang Ji's body, which is female, and the one in Murong Sturgeon's hand is male. He must know that there is another one under the water, so He just wanted to join hands with Lord Jiu to search Tang Chuanhe's tomb. It is estimated that he learned the Hades Hook from Master Jiu for this purpose. Because he knew that the bead was not on the boat, but on Tang Ji's body, so he wanted to get the bead. The corpse must be retrieved. And to retrieve this thousand-year-old corpse, you must use Jiuye's backlighting hook method. Unexpectedly, Jiuye didn't agree to him at the beginning, but now he does it himself."

Master Jiu smiled wryly and said: "I didn't expect that just after the deadline for me to seal the ship, I would find the corpse again. If Murong Yu came to me first, I guess I would agree to go with him to retrieve Tang's corpse. If that's the case, We don't need to mobilize people to come to the town to look for him today."
