If I leave it alone, this thing will kill someone.
The boat and rope were ready, and several patrols rowed the boat into the water, handing one end to the body fishermen.
After a while, the body fishermen came out of the water.
"Okay, pull." The person who retrieved the body ordered.
The people in the two boats worked together to pull the rope upwards. After a while, a metal box was placed on the boat.
Everyone rowed back to the shore and put the box on the ground.
"Open." Uncle Wang said.
Several men came forward with crowbars and got it open with a few blows.
"Good guy..." As soon as the thing saw the light, everyone exclaimed in unison.
Sure enough, as I suspected, this box is full of gold and silver jewelry, and they are all antiques.
"Xiaotian, it's all thanks to you this time." Uncle Wang patted me affirmatively.
"Okay, okay, let's go back and eat." The village chief shouted.
"Xiaotian, what should I do with this body?" The village chief pulled me aside.
"Find an empty room to put the body. Don't let the body fall to the ground or get caught in the rain. It's best to find someone to watch it." I said it hard.
"Okay, I understand." The village chief looked serious, and he knew that things were not simple.
Under the arrangement of the village chief, all those who needed to disperse were dispersed, leaving only a few patrol teams from the village guarding the corpses. Fortunately, Uncle Wang had arranged for the two corpses discovered earlier to be sent back to the city.
If these three corpses were gathered together, there would be no doubt how lively it would be tonight.
"I'll go take a look..." I was still worried and came to the place where the water corpse was parked.
There has always been such a custom in the village, and several patrol teams were well arranged. Two benches were laid as the base, a wooden board was laid on top, and the water corpse was placed on top.
In this way, the corpse will not be able to receive the earth's energy, and the water corpse is now tied like a rice dumpling, with a corpse suppressing charm attached to its head. There should be no trouble tonight.
"Uncles, please keep an eye on this body tonight." I hugged them and said respectfully.
"Xiaotian, don't worry. I didn't expect that you have learned this skill over the years..." Several people stood up in compliment.
"Thank you for your hard work..." After saying a few words, I returned to the dining table. Everyone had not started yet and was waiting for me.
"Xiaotian, come here, I've been waiting for you. It's all thanks to you today." The village chief stood up and pulled me to sit next to him.
After greeting everyone, I slowly sat down. There were not many people present, just Uncle Wang, Zhou Jiaonan, Heizi and I, and the village chief.
Dahei squatted at the door, enjoying the food prepared by the village chief.
But everyone kept their heads down as they ate. What happened today was really unbelievable to ordinary people.
"Senior brother, what's going on with the substitute you told me about before?" Heizi was the first to open the topic.
"There are quotas for childbirth in the human world, and the same is true in the underworld. Those who die unjustly and miserably die miserably, but those who die abnormally need to wait for a quota for reincarnation. If you wait too long, they will grab it." I explained casually.
However, as soon as the topic was opened, everyone's interest was aroused.
"Xiaotian, is the magic circle in the fish pond useless?" The village chief also became curious.
"The treasure has been buried underground for hundreds of thousands of years. It has a very strong Yin energy. When it fell into the water, it probably happened to hold Shi Gandang down, which caused the magic circle to fail. It should be fine now." I smiled and looked at the village chief to signal him. rest assured.
"Is that why the evil spirit was born?" Heizi immediately took up the topic.
"Yes, the formation failed, and those two people brutally killed their companions in order to seize the treasure. The deceased had too much resentment, and this turned into evil spirits." I nodded.
"Then you couldn't see the evil spirit at first, was that because of this?" Heizi said, picking up a chicken drumstick.
"Those treasures should have neutralized the evil spirit, so I can't see it. This is too complicated and I can't explain it." I scratched my head with a wry smile.
"But why did the corpse suddenly stand up?" Zhou Jiaonan couldn't help but speak after he calmed down.
"That's called corpse transformation. This man can't understand ghosts, but ghosts can understand human speech. Those two tomb robbers killed him, and he already had a lot of grudges. If you still say that in front of it, it will naturally transform into a corpse." I was a little angry, but I tried to control my tone.
"My dear, it seems that you have received the true inheritance from your master." Uncle Wang, who had been speechless, spoke up.
"Uncle Wang is laughing at me. When the master was alive, there were so many evil spirits in these ten miles and eight villages. It's still my fault that I'm not good enough and can't suppress them." I put down the bowl and chopsticks with a wry smile.
When I mentioned the master, I instantly lost my appetite. If the master were here, this kind of thing would never happen.
"I still can't believe it." Zhou Jiaonan looked solemn and frowned.
"There are many things in this world that don't exist if you don't believe them. This time Quan will gain more experience, and he will gain some experience in the future." Uncle Wang went around in a big circle, and it turned out that he was trying to educate Zhou Jiaonan.
"I understand." Zhou Jiaonan finally lowered his proud head.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this. It's so weird at night. You can rest at my house tonight. I have arranged the rooms." The village chief said and stood up.
The village elder left early, and his silly son also went to the city. He usually lives alone in this big house, so it is more than enough for the few of us.
Heizi and I share a room, Uncle Wang shares a room, and Zhou Jiaonan shares a room.
But this week Jiaonan was standing outside the door, pacing back and forth. When I passed by, she looked at me and opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
"What's wrong?" I asked in conscience.
After all, she is a woman, and I cannot be so small-minded that I always dwell on the previous unpleasantness.
"I'm afraid..." Zhou Jiaonan bit her lip and lowered her head.
In fact, Jiaonan is definitely considered a beauty this week. Regardless of her temperament, appearance, and figure, she is quite cute when she is not angry.
"Dahei, stay with her." I lowered my head and looked at Dahei at my feet.
"Huh..." Dahei breathed out and reluctantly sat at Zhou Jiaonan's feet.
"Thank you..." I walked far away, and Zhou Jiaonan's weak voice came from behind me.
"Xiaotian, are you asleep?" In the silent night, Heizi suddenly broke the peace.
This guy is a senior brother in front of others and Xiaotian in the back. He is really full of drama.
"No, I'm thinking of a way." I said truthfully.
"Remember that water ghost?" Heizi said and sat up.
"Yeah, Uncle Wang wants to take the body back, and I'm always worried that something will happen." I also sat up and leaned against the bed.
"How about we burn the body now?" Heizi lowered his voice.
"No, isn't this causing trouble for others? Uncle Wang just told me that these tomb robbers have been committing crimes for many years. They were brought back just to confirm their identities. They were involved in several major cases." In fact, I don't care what Heizi thinks. did not expect.
"Then what should we do? We two guard the corpse all day long?" Heizi said in an unhappy tone.
"Uncle Wang said it won't take long. I just want to confirm my identity. Go to sleep. Get up early tomorrow morning and accompany me to pay homage to my family." I said and lay down on my side.
In fact, I didn't know what to do, but when I thought of my grandparents, my parents, I fell asleep without knowing it.
As soon as it gets light, I get up.
Dahei seemed to have noticed my breath and woke up Zhou Jiaonan and ran to my door.
"Where are you going?" Zhou Jiaonan blocked my way.
"Go and pay homage to your family." I looked at her dumbfounded.
"I'll go with you." Zhou Jiaonan said and turned around and went into the house to change a pair of shoes.
"Xiaotian, does this girl have a crush on you?" Heizi whispered in my ear.
When worshiping ancestors, only close relatives can accompany them. Zhou Jiaonan must not understand these rules this week.
"Don't talk nonsense, people just don't understand these things." I said, glaring at Heizi.
"Xiaotian, do you want to go home and take a look?" Heizi grabbed me after leaving the village chief's house.
"Xiaotian?" Zhou Jiaonan followed a few steps and came to my side.
This woman is quite tall, and I don't want to stand next to her. I am still 1.78 meters tall, and she is at least 1.73 meters tall.
"Zhang Tianyi." I smiled and stretched out my hand.
"Zhao Quan." Heizi also imitated me.
"What happened yesterday was my fault. We will all be friends from now on." Zhou Jiaonan smiled and shook hands with us.
It turns out that she came here to clear up the past grudges, and it was because I was out of control.
The old house stood there quietly, everything was the same as when I left it, but it became a little strange.
However, it is very clean inside and out, and it seems that the villagers help with cleaning and maintenance.
It's just that this small bungalow looks a little out of place among the surrounding new houses.
I opened the door and stood outside, but never had the courage to go in.
