Chapter Twenty-One
It took only five days from the time of burying the coffin to the present.
??Who got the news in such a short time, and who stole the Xuanwu Jade Box that suppressed the Yellow River King despite the people's livelihood on both sides of the Taiwan Strait?
??Hungong and I asked in Baita Village for a whole morning, but there was no answer.
??When the Yellow River was flooded, many people from Xuanmen came to me, but it is not ruled out that some people have not left.
??The Xuanwu Jade Box disappeared, destroying the Xuanwu power in the coffin. There is no doubt that the Yellow River King must have escaped.
??That night, Mr. Hu Duan and I came to Jiuxing Bay again.
He asked me to contact the woman in black again and ask her if the King of the Yellow River had returned to the Yellow River.
??But this time when I burned the incense, the incense could not be lit no matter what.
I knelt on the river bank for a long time, but He didn't respond in his heart.
??The weather is cold one day, and this winter is particularly cold.
??In my memory, even in the coldest winter, the Yellow River has not been frozen. At most, it is a layer of thin ice on the water surface near the river bank, and there are only scattered ice in the middle.
??But before the twelfth lunar month is coming, the water surface is gradually showing signs of freezing.
??The ice layer on the water surface shattered and recovered, and finally completely frozen the entire river surface at the end of the month.
??The ice layer is getting thicker day by day, and fishermen are starting to dig ice on the river bank to catch fish.
??When even children can play on the ice layer without restraint, I remembered the divination words of the water monkey when he first came.
??Walking on frost, the ice is here.
??The result I came to at that time was that the water monkey would not be bad for me, but his arrival would bring me disaster.
??Looking at the frozen Yellow River, I began to doubt the result of my divination.
??Now my man is standing on the bank of Jiuxingwan River, the frozen Yellow River is twisted and turns like a dead yellow eel.
??I went down the river, stepped on the hard ice layer, and walked from the bank to the center of the river.
??Walking to the place where the black-sailed boat disappeared, I squatted down and started to drop the copper coins.
??I am not the King of the Yellow River, but the woman in black.
??I wonder why she doesn't respond to me anymore, and I can't even dream about her when I'm dreaming.
??The woman in black always supports the boat every time she appears. Now the Yellow River has frozen into ice. Where is her boat and where is her people?
??Six consecutive times, none of them formed a hexagram.
??I didn't leave immediately, looking down through the thick ice.
The water quality of the Yellow River is turbid, and there is a blur under the ice layer that cannot be seen clearly.
??After watching for a while, I was about to leave.
As soon as I took two steps, a sudden abnormal vibration came from the ice layer under my feet.
??The vibration is getting stronger and stronger, as if something is struggling to hit the ice under the ice.
??After a closer look, there seemed to be a figure under the ice layer.
??I was shocked. The Yellow River had been frozen for a long time, and there was no one under the river.
??Even if there is, he is definitely not a human being.
??I dare not stay here anymore and began to walk on the shore.
??However, where I went.
??The figure chased me wherever I was, and kept hitting the ice layer under my feet.
??The faster I run, the more powerful he hits.
??Click.
??I heard the sound of the ice exploding and dared not run away again.
??His impact matches my pace of foothold. If I run forever, it is very likely that the ice will completely break and fall into the river. I began to slow down, but the figures under the water still hit the ice again.
??I can only force myself to stabilize. At this time, I must not panic. The more I panic, the more dangerous it becomes.
??The river channel in Jiuxingwan is very wide, and the center of the river is half a mile away from the river bank. When I reached the river bank, my clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
??Just as I was about to jump over and jump to the shore, a strong wind suddenly blew from the shore, and I slipped under my feet and fell on the ice on my back.
??The figures under the ice collided more violently, and the ice layer was clattering again, and I quickly turned over and got up.
??The moment I turned over, I saw the face of the underwater figure.
??The skin is black and ugly and hideous.
??I know this face, he is the water monkey I haven’t seen for a long time!
??After the coffin of the King of the Yellow River in Gushan was opened, Mr. Hu Duan once went to find the Shui Monkey, but the Shui Monkey was not at home at all.
??The monkey has no children, no relatives, and no one knows where he went.
??Recalling that Shui Monkey was very greedy for money, I suspected that he stole the Xuanwu Jade Box, but Hu Duan Gong said that Shui Monkey would not do such a thing, and he should know better than anyone else the consequences of taking the Xuanwu Jade Box and releasing the Yellow River King.
??Escape is important, I don’t have time to think about it.
??Just as I tried my best to get up, the water monkey under the ice let out a shrill roar and crashed into the ice with her head.
??After a click, he knocked a hole in the ice layer with his head.
??Immediately afterwards, a black and stiff arm stretched out from underwater and grabbed my neck.
??I immediately raised my head and avoided his arm and crawled back with no chance.
He climbed up the shore with his eyes closed, and did not dare to look back at all. He ran back to Baishi Town in one breath.
??Hun Duan was drinking tea in the store. When he saw me scared and he quickly asked me what had happened.
??I gasped and told him that I saw the water monkey.
?? "Where did you see it?"
?? "It's in the Yellow River, in the Yellow River in Jiuxingwan."
??After listening to what happened, Hu Duan Gong decided to go to Jiuxingwan to inspect immediately.
??When I returned to Jiuxing Bay again, the ice holes on the river bank had been frozen again and there was no movement under the ice layer.
??Hong Hu Duan asked about the incident in detail, stayed on the river bank for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.
??The person who stole the Xuanwu Jade Box was the Water Monkey.
?? "Then why did he appear in the Yellow River?" I asked.
?? "The Xuanwu Jade Box suppresses the soul of the Yellow River King. As long as he moves the jade box, he will definitely be possessed and used by the Yellow River King. What you see is not the water monkey at all, but the Yellow River King."
?? "But why did the King of the Yellow River attack me?"
??The Yellow River has been frozen for a while, and children often play on it.
??No one has moved these days, and no abnormality has occurred in the Yellow River. Why did fishing and crossing the river suddenly attack me?
?? Hearing my question, Hu Duangong looked at me thoughtfully and said, "It attacked you, maybe it was related to the woman in black, and you carried her token."
?? "Are you talking about the jade pendant?"
??When I thought of the jade pendant, I suddenly realized something.
??The cold feeling on my chest is gone.
??I quickly touched it with my hand and found that the jade pendant and the rope were gone.
??When seeing the jade pendant on my neck disappeared, Mr. Hu Duan immediately asked, "Qin Jue, where is your jade pendant?"
??I thought about it hard and finally figured out why the jade pendant disappeared.
?? At that time, I thought the water monkey wanted my life to catch me. Now, what he wanted should be the jade pendant hanging around my neck.
?? "The jade pendant was captured by the water monkey." I said.
??"What?"
??Hu Duangong changed drastically in an instant.
