Chapter 17 The Night Leads the Coffin
The next day, Hu Duan Gong and I went to find the Shui Monkey together.
??Only one night later, the water monkey changed drastically, her hair turned white all night, and there was no trace of her eyes anymore.
??He put on a mourning dress for himself, and there was a good nanmu coffin in the room.
??When seeing Hu Duan Gong, the monkey grinned and her smile was gloomy and weird.
?? "Old Hu, after I die, you must choose a Feng Shui treasure land with strong yang energy for me. I have been fishing for corpses in the Yellow River for half my life and owed a lot of Yin people debts. I don't want to be at ease after death."
?? "Stop talking about the silence. I'm here to find you something. If this matter is done, your life will be saved."
?? "What's the matter?"
?? "What else can I do if I come to you? I'll catch the corpse!"
??I heard that I had to salvage the eight dead monkeys, but they refused to do anything.
??Hong Hu Duan didn't force him to go. He asked him for the key from the corpse-snatching ship, and then walked away.
??When we arrived at the river, we untied the corpse-fishing ship and saw the water monkey shouting at us from afar.
?? "Aren't you coming?" Hu Duangong asked.
?? "Oh, after you two left, I thought, I was going to die anyway, but I was afraid of being afraid. If you follow you, you might even save your life."
??Then, the three of us drove a corpse-snatching boat to Baita Village and first went to find the village chief.
??The village chief of Baita Village is Xu Wenshan, who is an elderly man.
??After meeting the old village chief, the monkey cursed and said, how ugly it was.
??The villagers couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and the old village chief kept silent and smiled embarrassedly to smoke the water monkey.
??The first time he said that someone had seen a corpse, but in fact he saw death. He grew up by the Yellow River since he was young and had heard of the taboos in the Yellow River. Although young people do not believe in evil, the old village chief knew it, otherwise he would not have paid a high price to find the water monkey.
??When the monkey cursed and relieved, Hu Duan asked the old village chief if he wanted to take out the body.
??Of course, the old village chief wanted to do it, and patted his chest and said that he was willing to pay for it no matter how much it cost.
??Because, if the death is not resolved, Baita Village will not think about relying on the Yellow River to make a living in the future.
??The village was already poor enough. If you could no longer rely on water to get water, Baita Village would sooner or later become a deserted village.
?? "I don't want you to pay this time, I want you to pay someone."
??Hong Hu Duan asked the village chief to find eight strong men, but he didn’t pick on his age and zodiac signs, but only looked at his horoscope.
??These eight people must be of metal or fire in the five elements, and nothing else can do.
??The yang energy belongs to fire is strong, and the life of metal is hard.
??When everyone found everything, Mr. Hu Duan asked the village chief to prepare eight coffins and send them to the river bank to wait.
??The coffin is easy to talk about, and the family of the deceased has already been prepared.
??When everything was ready, the village chief asked Mr. Hu Duan when he would start salvage.
??"Tonight." Hu Duangong said.
??When I heard it was night, someone quit at that time.
??There are many people during the day and can still be brave. Who would want to go to the river to catch corpses in the middle of the night?
??We all grew up by the Yellow River. Seeing the monkey and Hu Duan Gong here, anyone could guess that the corpse must be strange.
?? "It's okay if you don't want to fish. Maybe in the middle of the night that day, the people in the river will go to drink with you. The villagers in the village are not outsiders. Remember to stir-fry two more hot dishes for them." Shui Monkey said sinisterly.
?? "There are no ghosts in this world? Stop scaring us." Someone said.
?? "Since there is no ghost, you are still afraid of eggs. If you are a man, stay and follow my rules. As long as you can catch all these eight corpses, I won't give you all the dime."
??Money can make the devil push the mill, but no one has any objections now.
??We spent the day in the village. The old village chief killed a sheep and stewed a large pot of meat, which was delicious and delicious.
??In the evening, everyone followed Hu Duan to Baitahewan.
??The death kept walking under the water, and the position of the corpse was not fixed. The water monkey could track the corpse gas, but the tracking range was very small. At this time, Hu Duan Gong's compass came in handy.
??If it involves the existence of the Yellow River King, which affects people's livelihood on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the qi regulation in the Yellow River will also change.
??Hong Hu Duan can use the compass to estimate the changes in qi regulation to lock the position of the coffin, first find out the coffin, and then lead the death back to Baitahe Bay.
??Hon Hu Duan first asked the villagers to wait on the shore, and then took me and the monkey on the boat to find the corpse.
??Shui Monkey set out from Baita River Bay on a corpse-catching boat, first marched up for dozens of miles, then returned and went downstream, during which time he passed by Jiuxing Bay.
??When the boat arrived at Baiwu Ferry, the compass pointer began to turn sharply.
??Hong Hu Duan finally locked the approximate position of the coffin in the river through some calculations.
??Why were worried that the corpse-carrying boat would not dare to drive directly over, so he could only stop aside from a distance.
?? "Water Monkey, go down and look for it and see where it is." Hu Duangong said.
?? "Old Hu, I'm a little scared." Shui Monkey said in a twist.
?? "You're almost gone, what are you afraid of? Holding the flag of the order, and if you find death, raise the flag of the order."
??While Hu Duan Bus Water Monkey is wearing a black pennant.
??This flag is called the Five Elements Flag. The black flag represents Guishui, and it says the magic spell of the Xuanwu Emperor.
??Shui Monkey took the order flag, sipped with sorghum wine, and swam in the direction pointed by Hu Duan Gong.
??This dive is like the figure of a monkey who has not seen it for a long time.
?? "Mr. Hu Duan, nothing will happen to him, right?" I asked with some concern.
??"Won't."
??As soon as he finished speaking, a black flag emerged from the water and shook it three times in a row.
??Then the water monkey's head drilled out of the water and swam towards us desperately.
??Hong Hu Duan asked the location clearly, asked the monkey to drive the boat directly in front of the dead, took out the compass and said to me, "Qin Jue, drop a drop of blood in the middle finger."
??I didn't ask much, and bit my middle finger and dripped a drop of blood at the Tianchi position of the compass.
??The inner plate of the compass is made of that scale. The sun is fire and looks red.
??My blood dripped on it and disappeared in an instant. Then the compass seemed to be about to burn, and the red light was soaring. Then Hu Duan Gong raised the compass and shone it towards the coffin.
As soon as the red light entered the water, a big noise came from the bottom of the water.
??Eight vortexes emerged from the water surface. A huge black shadow could be seen in the middle of the eight vortexes, square, like a coffin.
As soon as the black shadow appeared, it immediately chased us at the corpse-fishing ship.
??The water monkey was fully powered, and the black shadow followed him reluctantly.
??Whenever the shadow was about to catch up, Hu Duan would throw a Five Emperors money into the water.
??I couldn't help but feel pain when I saw it. Hu Duan Gong threw the Qin Banliang, the most powerful among the Five Emperors.
Qin Banliang is rare and expensive in the past, so it is really wasteful.
??If the Five Emperors’ money is thrown in, the black shadow will slow down a little.
??In this way, Hu Duan relied on the money of the Five Emperors to delay the speed and finally led the coffin back to Baitahewan...
