Chapter 244 Going upstream, the legend of many years ago
“Puff~”
After a few sounds, the three young men scattered and swam in different directions.
“Old man, the place where the water fell is still ahead, did you catch it here.”
The boatman slowly lit a cigarette and spit out smoke at Lao Zheng:
“You think the water in this river is as dead as you are, and you can’t flow it!”
Ye Ye was carefully observing the surface of the water at this time.
The three corpse hunters just disappeared soon after jumping down, but the river was obviously clear.
Ye Yi reached out and touched the river water, and a biting chill spread to him in an instant.
“hiss–”
Ye Yi retracted his hand and stared at the swimming fish in the river in a daze.
The salvage team went up and down several times, but still hadn’t seen any corpses.
The boatman shook his head:
“Forget it, forget it, let’s give you a thousand refunds, it’s really impossible to get it.”
Old Zheng cried and hugged the boatman, pleading:
“Uncle! It was my wife who fell into the water, and there was a baby in her belly. Please try it, let me take a look anyway.”
After listening to the young people around, they felt very uncomfortable.
The boatman patted Lao Zheng on the shoulder and leaned the boat to the shore:
“It’s not that we don’t want to fish. We have touched all over this river. We can even find the jewellery that was dropped by others how many years ago, but you can’t find it. And this is not the first time. People often fall into the water in the sky, and we can’t get it.”
After hearing this, Ye Ye was taken aback, and immediately asked:
“Not the first time? Was it also a pregnant woman the previous few times?”
The boatman nodded:
“Yes, they are all pregnant women, and you can’t find them if you fall. It’s really not that our level is not high.”
“Oh… my mother-in-law baby… my mother-in-law baby…”
Lao Zheng kept repeating these words, walking towards the shore, climbing the top rank ladder step by step.
“Uncle, how long did the river clear?”
Ye Yi sat on the boat gang and turned to look at the boatman who was pulling the engine at the stern.
“It seems like five days ago, I heard that there was a fortune teller who said that he could solve the problem of black water in the Wushui River, and then after a while, the river water became clear.”
“But since it became clear, weird things have often happened in this river. We are also ready to change lines.”
Ye Yi wiped his chin, looked at the back of Lao Zheng leaving the river bank and asked:
“Where did you say the fortune teller did it?”
The boatman stood straight and looked at a low bridge not far away, and pointed his finger at the bridge head:
“It’s there.”
Seeing that the distance was not far away, Ye Yi jumped off the boat following Lao Zheng and walked in the direction of the boatman’s fingers.
Searching all the way, Ye Yi came to the home of an elderly person who seemed to be 100 years old.
According to passers-by, this old man was the one who had chatted with the fortune teller.
“A fortune teller did come to us the other day.”
The old man sat in the rocking chair, half-closed his eyes, his thoughts pulled back a few days ago:
“The fortune-teller said he had fled from Suling County. He passed by our Bazhou city and asked us why the Wushui River turned black. Where did the young people around us know, I just took the Wushui River that I heard about when I was a child. I told him the reason for the blackening, and the fortune-teller said that he had a way to clear the water of Wushui River.”
Seeing that the old man drew a long pipe from his waist, Ye Yi helped the old man light it, and the old man slowly spit out the smoke ring on his back.
“So, how did this river turn black?”
Ye Yi was also curious about this, so he asked.
The old man took a few puffs of smoke:
“You asked the fortune teller the same way. When I was little, I asked an old man in the area. He said that the river was once as clear and bright as it is now. Later, a carpenter walked by and accidentally dropped the ink pot. Entering the river. Carpenter is a special industry. It is said that wherever the carpenter’s ink fountain is dropped, there will be catastrophes. Anyone who sees the carpenter dropping something immediately stops the carpenter from leaving. No matter what happens after the river, the person involved will not have an accident.’The carpenter will be let go in that room.”
The old man took a few puffs of cigarettes. He was obviously tired. Putting the pipe aside, this thing was still a bit tired.
Ye Yi quickly took out his own cigarette from his arms and handed it to the old man. The old man waved his hand without answering, and continued:
“As a result, five days later, the river suddenly became dark, just like the ink. The family who saw the carpenter went to look for him, and he was no longer found. Later, people drowned in this river continuously. There will be news of several people drowning every year in the future, and they will all be female dolls just about to get married.”
“The villagers raised funds to build an earth temple at the source of this river, offering it to Tathagata, Guanyin, Jade Emperor, Confucius, Taishang Laojun, and so on. Then the river didn’t drown people. But the river has been dark.”
Ye Ye finished listening and said:
“All of the people who died in the river during this period were pregnant women. I don’t know if there is any connection between these two things.”
The old man shook his head and continued:
“That fortune-telling is also very good, he immediately asked me, was this river called the Mother-Child River before?”
Ye Yi frowned. He had never heard of Mother-Child River.
As far as he can remember, the name of this river is Wushuihe.
“This river was not called Wushui River before?”
The old man smiled and nodded towards Ye Yi with empty hands:
“You young people certainly don’t know. I only knew it when I was young. This river was said to be called the Mother-Child River before. After the carpenter dyed the water black, other people called him Wushui River.”
“Later, I saw this and that fortune-telling method, and lost a black statue. A few days later, the river did clear up, but slowly began to have strange things.”
Ye Yizou frowned and asked:
“Where is the earth temple you just mentioned?”
The old man pointed to the northwest:
“On this river all the way up, there is a very conspicuous red earth temple.”
“Where is that fortune teller? No one is looking for him?”
The old man shook his head:
“Fortune telling has always been that the dragon sees the head but not the end, so it can be easily found.”
At the same time, to the north of Bazhou City.
In the temple of Tianchi Township, a man named Gongyang was respectfully cupped hands saying:
“Master Rose, the plan is going well. No one in Bazhou has noticed the anomaly. Now many people have begun to throw into the river.”
He was wearing a robe and holding a black umbrella in his hand, standing in front of the idol.
This person is the fortune-teller who passed by Wushui River not long ago!
In the temple hall, a woman in black lay on the arm of the Buddha statue and closed her eyes to rest.
“Well, I see, go on.”
The rose waved her hand and motioned to the Ram to withdraw. She was very weak at this time.
The Mother-Child blood image trained by Blood Essence is just to melt a ghost-level Mother-Child ghost pet.
“but……”
The ram hesitated and looked up at the black shadow on the idol.
“Say~”
“Ye Yi is back. I heard that he had contact with… that city god.”
The rose chuckled and waved her finger, and drove the man out:
“A little A-level ghost guard, how true is it! You don’t need to report such a trivial matter to me!”
The ram replied from a distance towards the temple:
“Yes!”
The temple seemed a lot colder in an instant.
“How is the result?”
The rose asked towards the air.
Suddenly, the air in the temple was distorted, and three faint figures appeared:
“Master Rose, Bazhou Special Affairs Bureau has only one S-level, but at this time it is still on the field. The strongest person at the moment should be Ye Yi, who has just returned, and belongs to the A-level pinnacle.”
“Well, where is the Director of Special Affairs?”
The other figure bends over:
“We started with his family, and everything is going well so far, there should be no accidents.”
“Okay, go ahead and do your business, I want to rest.”
The rose suddenly disappeared from the hand of the idol, as if melted into the black shadow.
Bazhou City.
Ye Yi drove up the river from Bazhou all the way, and really saw the land temple used to suppress the Wushui River in the legend.
But this earth temple is surrounded by Ghost Qi.
Ye also couldn’t find the source of Ghost Qi’s distribution, so he had to go back to the Bazhou Special Affairs Bureau to report everything he found today.
